Chapter 246: In Sight
Wang Lujiang looked at his son, "Did you discuss it with Cui Yiting early in the morning?" ”
Although the father and son have been separated over the years, he can see through what the son is thinking at a glance, and try to make enemies with Cui Yiting and deceive Deng Sichang into taking the bait, provided that he discusses it with Cui Yiting.
Delusion.
delusionally imagined that he would hand over the net worth and lives of so many people behind him to a Cui Yiting.
He asked the court for plausion with great anticipation, and as a result, as soon as Cui Yiting arrived in Fujian, the governor of Fujian raised troops to surround the fishing village where he lived, if it wasn't for the fishermen to save him, he would have died long ago, and when he left, he set a fire with his own hands and burned the place where he lived clean.
At that time, I made up my mind not to be fooled again.
This time, Cui Yiting hit his son with the idea.
"You don't have to say it anymore, dozens of ships have been launched into the sea these days by the imperial court, and there are a large number of bows and arrows on board, which is Zhao'an? This is clearly an attempt to take advantage of my unpreparedness. ”
Cheng Jusheng looked at his father's angry expression.
Remembering that when he first arrived in Fujian, he heard that his father had been calculated and that many of his subordinates had died, and when he went back to discuss countermeasures, Miss Yao Qi said: "Even if you say something about Beijing, your father will not believe it lightly." ”
Just because he knew that his father set off a fire when he left, he could conclude that his father had given up on being recruited, and now he couldn't persuade his father, and he didn't know if Miss Yao Qi had a way, thinking about Sister Ruan, Cheng Jusheng couldn't help but have a guilty look on his face.
He didn't want Sister Ruan to be implicated with him.
……
At this moment, Cui Yiting was sitting on a chair looking at the official documents, and the documents urged by the court were sealed to him. He was a little absent-minded.
Jiang Qizhong, a hundred households in Jinyi, looked at the side face of Lord Cui, and Lord Cui's unrestrained smile and faint appearance made people feel the most intimidating.
Young but methodical. When he arrived in Fujian, he communicated with Fujian officials steadily and step by step, but behind his back, Deng Sichang was overwhelmed.
If he was a different person, he would either be suppressed by the governor of Fujian, or he would be bribed or framed by Deng Sichang, and Master Cui also used Deng Sichang to catch more than a dozen pirates.
"Master Cui, there is no news from Cheng Jusheng's side yet."
Cui Yiting nodded, he joined the company very late in the previous life. He didn't care much about the affairs of the court, he only knew that the most famous pirate king of Fujian and Zhejiang, Wang Lujiang, was exterminated by Deng Sichang, and Deng Sichang was very much used by the emperor. It is said that Wang Lujiang burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, and was finally eradicated by Deng Sichang and his troops.
When Deng Sichang left Fujian, the people sent each other in tears, saying that there was Lord Deng Sichang for one day. The pirates of Fujian and Zhejiang did not dare to go ashore.
Cui Yiting looked at Jiang Qizhong. "Wang Lujiang's father and son are not in harmony, and it will not be useful to rely on Cheng Jusheng to persuade him."
Jiang Qizhong couldn't help but be stunned, they were all looking forward to the good news of Cheng Jusheng, but they didn't expect Master Cui to say this.
Jiang Qizhong said: "Then what should I do?" ”
"First grasp the evidence of the collusion between Deng Sichang and Zhang Yan and Zhao Zu, don't let people think that I will definitely recruit Lu Jiang, the king of An, I want to find pirates with strong ships and sharp weapons to help the court eradicate the pirates," Cui Yiting said and looked at Jiang Qizhong, "Let people go find Zhang Yan." Ask what Zhang Yan means, since Wang Lujiang doesn't want to be recruited anymore. I might as well choose Zhang Yan with more ships. ”
Jiang Qizhong thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but want to stroke his palm and say "clever plan".
This is to drive a wedge between Zhang Yan and Zhao Zu.
If you can't join forces with Wang Lujiang, it will inevitably have more twists and turns, and it is conceivable that Lord Cui will support it, if others are bound to know the difficulties and retreat, that is, Lord Cui dares to act like this.
"My lord, the Marquis of Yong'an has arrived, and the army is about to enter the city."
Hearing this, Cui Yiting stood up and led people to greet Pei Mingzhao, Jinyiwei was already waiting at the door, followed by Pei Mingzhao and a few acquaintances, everyone greeted each other with a smile, and entered the yamen to discuss matters.
After a long time on the road, the officials went to rest one after another, and Cui Yiting and Pei Mingzhao went to the study to talk.
Cui Yiting had already received the news about the matter in Beijing, but he inevitably asked Pei Mingzhao a few more words, "How is the Shen family now?" ”
Everyone knew that Cui Yiting would not be suppressed by Deng Sichang lightly, but they didn't expect that in such a situation, Cui Yiting would still be as energetic as before and stabilize the situation.
Pei Ming Zhao said: "Shuntian Mansion did not catch Cheng Jusheng, and the Shen family is safe and sound for the time being. ”
"I heard that Miss Yao Qi is also back in Taixing," Cui Yiting stood up and bowed to Pei Mingzhao, "Thank you Lord Hou for taking care of you all the way." ”
Cui Yiting smiled calmly, with a natural look on his face.
Now the person who can logically mention Yao Wanning is Cui Yiting.
Comparatively, he lost before he could fight.
He often looked at the carriage from a distance along the way, and he always thought that Yao Wanning didn't know what she was doing, but her carriage kept up with their team after such a bumpy journey.
In such a hurry to return to Taixing, the second old lady Yao should be very sick, and the only people in the Yao family who really cared about Yao Wanning were those elders, and he wanted to say something comforting, but he didn't have a position to speak.
Chen Bao looked into the room from time to time, and somehow he felt that his eyes were full of calcium carbide sparks, and the two of them sat there obviously not saying anything, but the atmosphere was indescribably tense.
Yong'an Hou had a calm face, but the second master had a smile on his face.
Pei Mingzhao thought about it and changed the topic first, "We didn't bring out many soldiers and horses from Beijing, and we still need the governor of Fujian to send more people, so that with our troops, we can't catch those pirates, so it is not easy to punish Deng Sichang." ”
Cui Yiting smiled on his lips, "I have already thought of a way to invite you into the urn, and when the Hou Ye arrives at this time, this method will definitely work." ”
As he spoke, Chen Bao welcomed Jiao Wuying into the door.
"Can you buy tea?" Cui Yiting asked.
Jiao Wuying shook his head, "However, from tomorrow, someone will inevitably come to deliver tea, and most of the tea in Fujian will be collected." ”
"In the past, people with tea plantations refused to sell tea, but now they know that we have received old tea, and they have begun to inquire around."
Jiao Wuying said slowly.
The news of making new tea from aged tea has spread very quickly.
"We have now collected hundreds of catties of aged tea." Jiao Wuying said with a smile, "No matter who comes to hand over the tea, we will settle the money immediately." The more old tea we have, the more we will receive new tea, and if this continues, it will definitely drop to the price of tea collected every year within three or five days. ”
Jiao Wuying said: "If it goes down like this, the tea garden will not be able to sit still, and I have already asked people to release the news that a tea garden has begun to sell us tea." ”
As long as someone sells tea. Those who wait and see will be anxious.
"I can receive a large number of goods in five days, and I have already made people build momentum in the villages a little further from the sea. Now the people in the village know that our family is not only a salt merchant from Yangzhou, but also a big businessman from Beijing. ”
Pei Mingzhao's eyebrows suddenly became a little more solemn and looked at Cui Yiting. "You're trying to lure pirates into stealing the goods?"
Cui Yiting's jaw. "It's the most convenient way to do it."
The Shen family was able to receive the goods at this time and cooperate with Cui Yiting, which must have been ordered by Miss Yao Qi a long time ago, although the two people were far apart, they could still help each other.
Pei Mingzhao's heart suddenly became sour, and he suddenly felt a little envious.
There are few people like Yao Wanning.
Shopkeeper Jiao withdrew, Cui Yiting and Pei Mingzhao talked for a while, and made an appointment to talk about business tomorrow, so they walked out of the study separately.
Pei Mingzhao rode away, and Cui Yiting looked at Chen Bao. "Ready?"
Chen Bao hurriedly said: "Okay, I have already let people keep up with Shopkeeper Jiao." ”
As he spoke, the men led the horses. Cui Yiting turned over and got on the horse, and someone immediately came: "Shopkeeper Jiao went to the village where he stayed." ”
Cui Yiting nodded, pulled the reins and urged the horse.
Chen Bao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed.
The horse had just run for a while, and Chen Bao couldn't help but cry out in his heart, the second master ran like this, and he would be left far away in a while.
"Second master......" Chen Bao shouted, but Cui Yiting in front was unmoved, and soon one person and one horse disappeared from his sight.
Chen Bao blinked his eyes, why is this?
……
As soon as Jiao Wuying sat on the chair, he heard someone come in quickly and said, "Shopkeeper Jiao...... Choi ......"
Before he finished speaking, Cui Yiting had already opened the curtain and strode in.
Shopkeeper Jiao stiffened, hurriedly put the teacup in his hand on the low table, and greeted him, "Master Cui, why are you ......?"
"Where is she?" Cui Yiting stared at Jiao Wuying.
The cold gaze fell directly on Jiao Wuying's face like the cold wind of the cold winter wax moon, making him breathless, "Second master...... What are you talking about...... Who? ”
"Where's your owner?" Cui Yiting looked around, and there was no trace of anyone else in the room.
"You're talking about...... Miss Seven? Shopkeeper Jiao swallowed, "It's not here, it's not supposed to be in Taixing, and Taixing is not close to here, so it's hard for Miss Seven to come over." ”
Collecting tea, this is Wanning's handiwork, Jiao Wuying will not do it so thoroughly in just a few days.
In the room, he smiled and talked to Pei Mingzhao, but what he thought about in his heart was Wanning's smiling face.
She is not in the capital thousands of miles away, but by his side.
He wanted to see her immediately.
Looking at Jiao Wuying's surprised expression, Cui Yiting couldn't help frowning, "Who taught you to collect tea like this?" "Who can it be if it's not Yao Wanning?
Jiao Wuying realized at this time, and immediately took out the letter from his arms, "Our host didn't come, but someone sent me a letter." ”
A letter.
Cui Yiting opened it and looked at it, and the familiar handwriting immediately came into view.
This is Yao Wanning's word.
Did he think wrong?
Is she really still far away in Taixing?
……
Wan Ning looked not far away, several boats were floating in the sea, it seemed to be the official ship that Cheng Jusheng had said, and I don't know if Cui Yiting was on it?
"That's the imperial court's boat, you just took a civilian boat, have you ever seen that kind of official ship?"
Miss Wang Er's voice came.
Wan Ning turned her head sideways and saw the smile on Miss Wang Er's lips, "The ships of the imperial court are not as fast as ours, if it weren't for what my father said, as long as the people of the imperial court don't chase us, we won't mess with them, those people have already died hundreds of times, where can they still show off their might in front of us." ”
