After Gu Haotian waved the horsewhip, the other entourages immediately pulled the horse and drove some distance, not daring to anger Gu Haotian again, and at the same time glared at the carriage angrily, eager to drag the people inside out and teach them a hard lesson.

Mulan looked out through the gap, and saw that these people were fierce and vicious, and she was a little worried, and said to Shang Jinxiu in a low voice: "Second Miss, these people don't seem to be good people. ”

Shang Jinxiu didn't care, this is the scope of Qingshan County, this road is a big road, there are a lot of people, and people will pass by from time to time. In the blue sky and white days, even if the Gu family is horizontal, will they dare to commit murder directly?

She waved her hand and motioned for Mulan and Hibiscus not to care. When they entered the county seat, the Gu family did not dare to commit murder on the street.

Mulan and Mu Hibiscus were still not at ease, they had just arrived at Shang Jinxiu's side, and before they came, Li Guangcai and Li Wang's family had specially instructed them to protect Shang Jinxiu. The two of them kept it in mind, and naturally they were extra cautious.

The Gu family is powerful, and all of them are fierce and strong men, but there are only four of them, if they really make a move, how can they be opponents?

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from behind. The sound was a little far away, and it sounded like it was another group of people, and there were quite a few of them.

Hearing this voice, both Mulan and Hibiscus breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who came this time, with such a group of people, the Liang Gu family would not dare to do anything to them.

Gu Haotian glanced back curiously, he was originally looking at it casually, but he was stunned at this look. It was a team of horses, and at a cursory glance it was half as large as them, and he knew one of the two men who were at the head. It is Du Yuzhang, the prefect of Qingzhou.

The remaining one has handsome eyebrows and a tall figure. It is a rare beautiful man. Gu Haotian has always been proud of himself, not only because of his background and ability. is also because he was born with good looks. His father was handsome and strong, with rough eyebrows like knives, and his mother was beautiful. His appearance combines the advantages of both parents, his eyebrows are picturesque, handsome, but heroic. From childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many women have been fascinated.

However, the man opposite was not inferior to him at all, but because he was older, he had more of a mature charm than him. It's fascinating.

Gu Haotian had the arrogance of 'Lao Tzu is the best in the world' in his bones, so after seeing the man opposite, he was in a bad mood. However, he quickly guessed the identity of the man opposite. This person followed Du Yuzhang and gave birth to such a look, which is obviously the county order of Qingshan County.

Thinking of the investigation of He Yuanfang, Gu Haotian's eyes narrowed dangerously. With Shang Shigong's appearance and bearing, it is no wonder that He Yuanfang's stupid woman has a deep affection for him. However, He Yuanfang has now become his stepmother. Even if it was just an ornament, He Yuanfang's infatuation with Shang Shigong still made him very unhappy.

At this moment, Shang Shigong and Du Yuzhang's men and horses were already approaching. Du Yuzhang recognized Gu Haotian at a glance, but he didn't care about the carriage next to Gu Haotian. Shang Shi Gong is the opposite. He felt Gu Haotian's hostility, and first looked at him in surprise, not recognizing who he was. Then, he saw the carriage next to Gu Haotian.

And then. Shang Shigong's face changed instantly.

He saw that the side wall of the carriage was broken. Look at the traces above. Still kicked by the horse's hooves. Seeing Gu Haotian's men and horses faintly surrounding the carriage, the anger in Shang Shigong's heart instantly came up.

Who is this stinky boy? Dare to bully his baby daughter!

Gu Haotian and Du Yuzhang both saw that Shang Shigong's face was wrong, and the two looked at the carriage next to them at the same time, guessing in their hearts, could it be that Shang Shigong knew the people in the carriage?

Gu Haotian didn't know what was wrong with him, and this guess made him very unhappy. It's like just discovering a nice toy, only to find out that the toy belongs to someone else.

Du Yuzhang had already asked, "Shigong, what's wrong?" ”

Shang Shigong didn't explain, but only said, "My lord, please wait a moment." After speaking, he rode over Gu Haotian and arrived next to the carriage. When the coachman Li Er saw him, he immediately grabbed the horse, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "Master! It's good that you come back, the second lady was almost bullied! ”

Shang Shigong's face instantly became very ugly, he looked gloomily at the depression on the side wall of the carriage, turned over and dismounted, and then got into the carriage with neat movements. As soon as he went up, he saw Shang Jinxiu rushing towards him with a smile: "Daddy! You're finally back! My mother and I miss you so much, and so do my sister and brother. ”

Shang Shigong's gloomy face was a little better, and there was a smile on his face, he pulled Shang Jinxiu to check it first, and when he saw that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked her: "Xiu'er, you tell Dad, what's going on?" How did the carriage break? Are you hurt? ”

Shang Jinxiu hurriedly shook his head, pointed to Mulan and Mu Hibiscus and said to Shang Shigong: "At that time, as soon as we came from the fork in the road, a horse team rushed over, and the horses' hooves kicked the side wall of the carriage. Fortunately, Mulan and Hibiscus protected me, so I was not injured. However, Hibiscus and Mulan were bruised. Speaking of this, she pulled Shang Shigong and whispered, "Daddy, that young man is the eldest young master of the Gu family, he must not have a good heart when he came to Qingshan County this time, we have to be careful of him." ”

Shang Shigong nodded, patted her shoulder and comforted: "It's good that you don't have anything to do, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Gu family, this time the prefect is also here, and it will be fine." ”

Regarding Du Yuzhang's arrival, Shang Jinxiu was not surprised. Shang Shigong gave Du Yuzhang such a good gift, coupled with the new varieties of ingredients that have appeared in the past three years, if Du Yuzhang is not tempted, then she has to consider another person to cooperate.

Du Yuzhang came in person this time, which shows that he is not stupid at all.

Shang Jinxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since Du Yuzhang came, it could be seen that he was very concerned about the things of the merchants. She doesn't have to care about the affairs of the Gu family at all.

Gu Haotian felt that things were not good, and Shang Shigong got into the carriage directly, which shows that he not only knows the little girl in the car, but also has a lot to do with it. He suddenly remembered that Shang Shigong's eldest daughter was nine years old this year, wasn't she the little girl in the carriage?

After Shang Shigong comforted Shang Jinxiu, he got out of the carriage and didn't let Shang Jinxiu go down. There are too many people here, and there is a Gu Haotian who has bad intentions when he sees it, he doesn't want his baby girl to be looked at by so many people.

At this time, Shang Shigong didn't know what to do, Shang Jinxiu not only met with Gu Haotian, but also extorted Gu Haotian a huge amount of 1,000 taels of silver.

Shang Shigong asked Li Er to continue on the road, and he turned over and beckoned Du Yuzhang to come forward. Du Yuzhang also guessed that Shang Shigong and the people in the carriage must have a lot to do with each other, but since Shang Shigong didn't mean to explain, he didn't ask. Gu Haotian knew each other very well this time, and obediently ordered his entourage to make way for Du Yuzhang.

Although Gu Haotian is arrogant, he is not stupid. The Gu family is related to some big names in the court, and they can ignore the merits of a businessman, but they dare not despise Du Yuzhang, who was born in a big family. After all, the Du family has always been the emperor's henchmen!

Du Yuzhang stepped forward with his entourage, he gave the entourage a look, and some of the entourage escorted around the carriage.

Seeing this, Shang Shigong said to Du Yuzhang: "The one in the car is a little girl, the little girl is stubborn, the lower official didn't expect to meet here, so the adults bothered." ”

Du Yuzhang looked at the carriage in surprise, looked at the hideous cracks on the carriage, and said in his heart No wonder Shang Shigong's face was so ugly just now, it turned out that it was his daughter in the carriage. Du Yuzhang thought to himself that if he had encountered this kind of thing himself, his face would definitely be more ugly than that of Shang Shigong, and he would have even sent someone to teach Gu Haotian a lesson.

He couldn't help but glance at Shang Shigong again, and saw him holding the reins with both hands, and the green tendons on his hands jumped, and he sighed silently in his heart.

He knows very well that Shang Shigong is obviously angry, but he can't help his daughter get angry because of his weak strength. Thinking about it like this, he strengthened his previous idea of recommending Shang Shigong. Shang Shigong is a talent, and he saw this very early. However, no matter how good a talent is, if there is no recommendation from the above people, he can only be covered in dust, and he has been living in this small Qingshan County.

Now that the Gu family has bullied the merchants, if he gives Shang Shigong this opportunity to climb up, it will be a charcoal in the snow for Shang Shigong, and Du Yuzhang believes that Shang Shigong will inevitably repay him for this kindness in the future.

He thought of the He family again, he knew about the fact that the He family had helped Shang Shigong, and he knew that because of He Yuanfang's matter, the merchant and the He family had basically broken off contact. Even so, Shang Shigong has never used his power to bully the He family, which shows that Shang Shigong is a person.

It's a pity that the daughter of the He family is short-sighted and doesn't have a good relationship with the business, but breaks off contact with the merchant because of a little petty profit, and I'm afraid I will regret it in the future.

Thinking of this, Du Yuzhang couldn't help but look at the carriage next to him. The traces of the crack on the side wall of the carriage are very hideous, you can imagine the scene at that time, he remembers, Shang Shigong's eldest daughter is only nine years old this year, and the second daughter is only seven years old. No matter which one it is, this determination is admirable.

Gu Haotian controlled his speed and distanced himself from Shang Shigong and the others. Seeing Du Yuzhang with his own eyes, he had a hunch that it was impossible to buy 'Yipinxian'. However, he did not regret coming to Qingshan County, he was very curious, what was it that could make Du Yuzhang's heart move?

Thinking of the little girl who had blackmailed him a thousand taels of silver before, Gu Haotian felt depressed again. He saw that she was dressed very ordinarily at that time, and thought that she was from a small family, and he had never seen a thousand taels of silver in his life.

Who knew that Lu Dao, that girl was actually the daughter of Shang Shigong! Yes, the merchant can indeed only be regarded as a small household, but the merchant's 'Yipinxian' business is very hot, he roughly calculated, the daily income is a lot, it is simply a cash cow.

Has that girl ever seen a thousand taels of silver? I don't believe him if he is killed! He finally understood that she dared to ask for a thousand taels of silver when she opened her mouth, and casually took out three hundred taels of silver to reward her subordinates.

So where is the lack of money? It's just a lot of money! (To be continued......)
