Section 179 Study

At night, the moonlight is enchanting.

The whole world fell silent.

The drum beat the four rounds, and the study in the outer courtyard of the Di Mansion was still flickering.

The light of the fire like a broad bean was reflected in the Di Zhifu, who was sitting at the back of the bookcase, and it was a vague face that flickered and dimmed.

......A rhythmic knock sounded outside the door, breaking up the silence of the room.

"Your Excellency." The steward's voice sounded, as calm and humble as ever, and Di Zhifu could imagine his current posture through the door, he must be hunched, his head hanged, and his face respectful.

Suddenly, an inexplicable irritability swelled up in his heart, "Come in." There was a blunt irritation in his tone.

And the steward's back bent even lower.

"My lord, Master Liu has arrived." The corners of the eyes are slightly raised.

"Hurry up and invite him in." Di Zhifu's expression was solemn, and he wiped away the anger between his eyebrows, and put on his usual smile.

After a breath, Liu Han's heavy footsteps appeared at the door.

"Master Di......" The hoarse voice lost its usual heroism and publicity.

Hearing this, the prefect Di was even more irritable.

"Sit." Seeing that Liu Han opened his mouth to speak, Di Zhifu interrupted the conversation and asked him to sit first.

Liu Han sat across from him in a daze, waiting for the steward to quickly hold the teacup and quietly retreat.

The door closes, creating a space of absolute privacy.

Liu Han's patience also came to an end, and the words of complaint came out all of a sudden-

"What does that kid surnamed Tang want to do? He thinks that holding a few restless people under my hand can make me take care of myself? Or do you think that with just a few small shrimps, you can reopen the ship market? I'm ......," Liu Han said like a cannonball, full of unwillingness and anger. It's like a hail on a summer sunset, the size of a fist, and it hits the door of a person's head, and it hurts if it doesn't die.

Di Zhifu couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "What are you anxious about, if you have something to say slowly." ”

"Slowly? How slow? You don't have to stand and talk without back pain, you yourself are boiling in a pot of oil! Liu Han's implication was that the gold bars fished out of the river at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet that day.

A face full of sparkling mockery.

This guy is so unbelievable and so arrogant to him.

Di Zhifu's face sank completely, and the fierce anger turned in his eyes: "You can't escape the blame for what happened that day." Why did you fall for Tang Shao's way? The dock is your place. It actually made his subordinates make a fuss. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to bring the people down the river, you know, these gold bars are very important. You and I can't explain it now......"

Di Zhifu's words fell lightly. But it was Liu Han's death point.

Liu Han was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. A breath fell on his chest.

On that day, his subordinates came to report urgently, saying that the ship could not reach the dock for several days. The guests swarmed over to make trouble, and asked to lose money if they didn't give the goods, the wharf was messy, and the Cao Gang was even more panicked in private, because their monthly money had been in arrears for more than a month, and there were more and more guests on the wharf who were going to lose money, and they didn't know where the news came out, saying that the Cao Gang had no money, and there was a big deficit, and the people's hearts were floating, and the rough men who relied on their strength to support their families were so anxious that they blushed and had a thick neck, and asked the steward on the wharf to give money on the spot, and the steward did not receive orders, where was he willing to pay, and he came and went. He moved his hands.

The guards at the wharf are all idle gangs raised by the Cao Gang, who are very arrogant and dog-legged on weekdays, and they are shouting and disagreeing with the men who make money by their strength, and they also have to be harsh on their wages, filling their own pockets, and some temperamental men have already clashed with the idle gang for the matter of wages, but later they were all taught a hard lesson in private, and they dare not make trouble again, in the final analysis, the two gangs of people have been grudging for a long time.

Taking advantage of this moment, all the anger was squeezed together, and there was no second way except to do it.

Those idle gangs all have some fists and feet, and it is definitely not a problem to pick one to one, but when the number of rough men is far more than that of idle gangs, they can only be beaten and shrunk into a ball, and they have no power to parry.

The discerning idle gang ran back to the Cao Gang early in the morning to report the news when they saw that the situation was wrong, and the hall master below was taken aback, realizing the strictness of the matter, and did not dare to suppress the matter, and immediately ran to the Di Governor's Mansion to report the news.

As soon as Liu Han, who learned of Yiqiē's temper, sent Yang Ze to handle this matter without thinking.

Then Yang Ze led most of his men who were also in Di Mansion to the dock immediately.

When he was about to go into the water to fish Cao Ying, he realized that something was wrong.

However, at this time, it was too late to regret it, and in the face of the cold and silent Tang Shao, it took him a lot of effort to reluctantly suppress the urge to scold, and he had to pull out a smile that was so false that even he wanted to vomit.

He was furious.

He helped Liu Ye in a dignified manner, when did he have to be respectful to a hairy young man?

Even if it is Di Zhifu, he doesn't pay attention to it, and he goes in and out of Di Mansion as if it were his own mansion.

But this Tang Shao, first Di Zhifu cowered and said that he was hand-picked by the saint, and he must have a strong background backer, so that he could not act rashly, so that he endured it again and again, and was silently broken by Tang Shao Guanlin's warehouse, if it weren't for Yang Ze's cleverness, he caught the secret agent who mixed into the Cao gang one step earlier, and the batch of things in the Guanlin warehouse would not have had time to transfer out at all. Now, he no longer listened to the bullshit theory of "planning and then acting" of Di Zhifu, he directly let the dock strike, although he couldn't suppress Tang Shao, but with this hand, the surname Tang couldn't get any benefits, just wait for the cabinet change and adjustment in place on the imperial court, and then he could blame Tang Shao for delaying the transportation of grain. Things were going in the direction he had expected, and he was relieved that the gold bars, which had been sunk in the river for more than half a year, had been fished out without warning.

That's a whole 800,000 taels of silver exchanged for gold bars!

Just exposed to the sun, there is nothing to hide.

His anger was suppressed all the way out of the Di Mansion.

After returning to the Cao Gang, when he saw the dock steward kneeling at his feet and begging, he didn't even bother to give him the word cramp and peel the skin, and directly waved his hand to drag the frightened steward down.

Until the wailing sounded. His galloping anger still did not find an outlet, and finally hurried to the backyard to see his daughter, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Such a secret loss, Tang Shao has already given him twice.

Guanlin once, dock once.

One thing can be two, not three......

Liu Han opened his gloomy eyes and stared at the Di Zhifu unceremoniously.

"Now that Cao Pifu has solved it for you, Pei Yongnian will never appear again, there should be no problem with the matter of gold bars, right? When will the right to transport grain, grass and salt return to us? Liu Han spoke out very unceremoniously, with an aggressive posture.

"I can't take back the right to transport until the case is closed. Isn't it? What are you anxious about......" Di Zhifu's face sank to the extreme in an instant.

If it's someone else. He had long been frightened by his nonchalant expression, but Liu Han was no one else, he had enough capital to shout with him.

"Don't scold me, Master Hou is urging me tightly. If you don't get back the right to transport within half a month. Don't blame me for being ruthless. directly stabbed the matter to Hou Ye. Liu Han's thick eyebrows were fiercely entangled, and there was a threat surging at the peak of his eyebrows.

"You ......" Di Zhifu's breath was choked.

He got up in disbelief and looked at Liu Han.

No one backed down.

The surrounding temperature dropped to freezing in an instant.

"The excerpt has already been sent to the cabinet, and I believe that a decree will come down soon. What are you worried about," after a long time, Governor Di slowly looked away from the confrontation, and Cheng Zhu said firmly in his chest, "Lord Fan's private message has arrived ......"

Hearing the last sentence, Liu Han's tyranny dissipated in an instant, the vigilance in his eyes was fleeting, and there was a brisk smile on his face: "It's good to have news, it's not in vain that we are busy." ”

"Come, brother, drink tea......" The next moment, Liu Han had already sat down by himself and drank tea leisurely, as if the turbulence just now was an illusion.

Di Zhifu clenched his fist under his sleeve, raised a smile, and drank tea in greetings.

It's just that the smile never reached the bottom of the eye.

"By the way, I heard that your wife lost something that day?" The atmosphere had just relaxed, and Liu Han's words made the atmosphere stiffen again.

At least that's the case for Master Di.

Liu Han shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, and looked at Di Zhifu for a long time, looking like a kind person who "I care about you".

"Women's families are making a fuss, and if they lose some jewelry, they will make trouble." The hand holding the teacup trembled invisibly, and Di Zhifu poured down the remaining tea in the teacup fiercely, covering the unnaturalness on his face.

The end of the "oh ......" was a little long, and there was a bit of disbelief, but the topic did not continue in the end.

Di Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his eyes were raised: "I heard that you have been very close to the Yun and Jiang families recently?" ”

Liu Han looked at the still condescending Di Zhifu on the other side, and waved his hand impatiently: "The two of them are very interesting, their mouths are tight, and they are relatives with Lin Yong, so I'll see if I can cooperate with something else." ”

"Look at it, don't break it." Di Zhifu cautiously reminded him.

"Got it, maybe it can come in handy in the future, so you don't care." Liu Han narrowed his eyes and said perfunctorily.

Di Zhifu glanced at him and was silent.

"Okay, wait for your news, I'll go first." After the matter was discussed, Liu Han didn't talk nonsense, and got up and left directly.

"The affairs of the Cao family, you can't relax." Di Zhifu spoke anxiously.

"People are dead, what are you afraid of?" Liu Han's beard shook and his face was full of confidence.

"When the people are in the ground, the matter is over." Under the candle flame, the half-light and half-dark face of the prefect of Di was illuminated.

Liu Han opened his mouth, but finally held back his rebuttal.

"I'm going to be buried tomorrow, and I'll do it." Liu Han frowned and lost the momentum of his whole body.

"I received news that the shrew of the Cao family is going to rush back to see off her man and daughter."

"Then it's best for her family to go to the underworld for a reunion!" Hearing this, Liu Han said something extremely bloody.

The funny thing is that the two people in the room actually looked at each other and smiled, as if it was normal to lose someone's life just drinking water and eating. (To be continued......)
