Chapter 41: Relax
Liu Jing reflected for a while and slept hard. In the evening, she hurried out of the door, she hadn't seen those swingers for nearly a month, and she didn't know how much useful news she would miss?
Next, it took Liu Jing half a night to listen to what the four swingers said. And then, for five whole nights, she received these people, recording what they said.
On the second night, a prodigal man was talking and suddenly said, "Lang Jun, in my opinion, something big should have happened to the Min Mansion." ”
Min House? Liu Jing's eyebrows jumped. In fact, what she has always wanted to know most is the news of Min Mansion, but in order not to make people suspicious, she never took the initiative to ask from beginning to end. At this moment, someone finally mentioned it, and Liu Jing's heart was pounding fast.
After calming herself down, she lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The prodigal man said mysteriously: "The old man Zhang who opened the butcher shop said that he got up before dawn that day, and just happened to see a large group of silver-armored guards entering the Min Mansion. Since then, the entire Min Mansion has changed, and he has bought land and shops, and he has also bought a lot of maidservants.
The carriages that came and went in Pinsuri were gone. Some people say that the Min Mansion is going to fall. ”
After a while, the prodigal son heard Liu Jing whisper, "Really? ”
After spitting out those two words, she stood up.
Walking slowly to the window, Liu Jing straightened her back, clenched her fists tightly, looked ahead, and thought: It seems that my plan has succeeded!
For her, Min Mansion is really a behemoth, if she doesn't drive the tiger and devour the wolf like this, she alone can't do anything at all. When she asked the beggar to inform King Deng Yan, she thought in her heart that this move would not be able to win the Min Mansion, and it would be good to be able to deliver the remaining two boatloads of salt to King Deng Yan. At the very least, the Min Mansion without three ships of salt goods will definitely hurt its vitality.
Now it seems that the effect is still very good. Min Mansion should be too busy to take care of itself, right? Well, observe for a few more days, if it's really good, you can start with Liu Er and Ah Wu!
Thinking of the excitement, her heart beat like a drum, and she let out a long breath of turbidity, Liu Jing said quietly: "Well, I know the truth, you continue to talk ......"
After meeting with the prodigal sons, on the morning of the sixth day, Liu Jing took some gold and walked towards the prison where Liu's father was held with Liu's mother.
It was very smooth with Liu's father, after Liu Jing's large amount of money, Liu's father now lives in a very clean and warm single prison, and his food is also abundant, his legs have long been healed, Rao is so, and doctors regularly come to check his pulse. When Liu Jing went to see him, Liu's father was lying soundly, and after a period of recuperation, his skin was white, calm and relaxed, and he was in a good state.
Now, with the private salt worth thousands of taels of gold as the base, everyone in Liufu is full of confidence, and Liu's mother and Liu's father are no longer in tears like the previous few times, as if there is no hope in life.
After Liu Mu finished speaking, Liu Jing stepped forward, she glanced around, signaled Liu Mu and the servants to step back, in case someone came, she lowered her voice and explained what she had done to Liu's father.
When he heard that Liu Jing used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to lure away the ships of the Min Mansion, and attracted King Deng Yan, and then to the various disposal methods after she got the salt, Liu's father looked at Liu Jing steadily.
He stared at his daughter for a while, sighed deeply, and said, "The thing I hate the most in my life is that my Jing'er is not a man!" In the past six years, in order to make his daughter gentle and graceful, he, as a father, has prevented his children from coming into contact with those military books and legalist books. He once thought that his daughter only needed to be a person according to Ban Zhao's "Female Commandments". As for the scheming, the conspiracy of the city, the struggle between right and wrong, and all kinds of interest calculations, they should not be things that a girl's family is contaminated. But now, she can still save her family with her own strength, and she can play with those mansions in the palm of her hand. It's a shame that this child has a daughter.
Thinking like this, Father Liu still commanded: "In this way, the most important thing you need to guard against now is that King Deng Yan." Jing'er, don't have much contact with him in the future, and those salts, don't mention them until that person leaves Wu County. ”
"Father, the child has learned the truth."
"Then since Gu Er has such an attitude, my daughter Liu Xingzhou can't catch up with it. For the father, I will repair a book, and you will send it to Luoyang Gu Mansion to withdraw from this family. ”
“…… Good. ”
Father Liu stretched out his hand, he stroked his daughter's hair, and said lovingly: "As for the matter of being imprisoned for your father, you don't have to worry too much about the child. In this case, the date of his father's release from prison is not far off. ”
Although Liu Jing didn't know where her father's confidence came from, she had always respected and trusted her father, and when she heard this, she still nodded fiercely with bright eyes and a bright smile.
After staying with her father for a while, when she came out, Liu Jing gave the jailers another twenty taels of gold.
In this period when an ordinary staff member in Wu County could not earn more than three or four taels of gold a year, Liu Jing was generous to these jailers. It is precisely because of this generosity that when the Wu County cell was overcrowded, her father still lived in a comfortable single room, bathing in warm water every day, with wine, meat, and books to read. If you want to say that Father Liu was in a hard prison in the past, the current Father Liu is simply recuperating.
After meeting her father, especially after getting his last sentence, Liu Jing was in a good mood, and the mentality of being in a hurry and flustered a while ago actually dissipated most of it at once, and she walked with ease, leisurely and powerful.
Finally, she no longer has the feeling of being put on the fire all the time, tormenting her heart day and night. Since her father's accident, she always fell asleep in the middle of the night and felt her heart beat like a drum and panicked, and then she couldn't sleep all night.
- Liu Jing didn't know what to do, the cultivation of qi in her heart was actually related to her tormented mentality for a while. Now that she is relaxed, her whole person is much calmer and more relaxed.
Back in the mansion, after taking a comfortable hot bath, Father Liu put on her cyan cloth robe, carried Father Liu's letter of resignation in her arms, and walked towards the Min Mansion - she still needs to confirm it after the last, once it is confirmed, she can immediately attack Liu Er and Ah Wu!
The divorce letter, Liu's father meant to send someone directly to Luoyang Gu Mansion, but Liu Jing still wanted to stay, at least, after Uncle Wang came back from Luoyang, it was not too late to send it out. As for her now, it is just in case she meets Gu Cheng, and there can also be an explanation.
After a while, she came to the outside of Min's mansion. At this moment, although the door of the Min Mansion is open, the door is full of birds, seeing Liu Jing and a cloth-clothed Confucian come over, the old men all stood up nervously, which was unimaginable in the past.
Liu Jing walked to the door, and after quietly glancing at the equally desolate Min Mansion, she waved towards the door, and said politely: "Please also ask the old man to inform me, and then say that Liu Wenjing asked to see Gu Cheng Gu Erlang." ”
"Gu Jiaerlang?" Menzi shook his head, his voice hoarse and weak, "You mean that big man from Luoyang?" He had already moved out. ”
"Moved out?" Liu Jing was taken aback, she asked in disappointment, "When did it happen?" ”
"It's been about a month."
That is, at the time of the Min Fu incident?
After Liu Jing secretly calculated, she said, "What about the San Lang of your mansion?" Can you see it below? ”
At the mention of Min Saburo, Menzi suddenly became impatient. He waved his hand and shouted, "I said that you are not finished?" My Saburo is not here, let's go, let's go. As he spoke, he pushed Liu Jing, and then slammed the door around and shut Liu Jing out.
Looking at the closed gate of the Min Mansion, Liu Jing smiled slightly and thought: It seems that the situation is true.
Thinking of this, she turned and left.
As soon as she returned home, she called an old servant and said, "Uncle Hou, you should send someone to Xiahe Village to inform Uncle Wu, and tell them to find an opportunity to rob Ah Er's favorite son, so as to lure Ah Er out, and then bring both father and son to me." ”
"Yes."
"As for Uncle Hou, you will also take the two of you to get Liu Wu's son."
"Yes."
"These things must be done in secret, and their whereabouts must not be revealed. We must let Ah Er and Liu Goshen fall into our hands unknowingly. ”
"Yes."
Seeing Uncle Hou go out, Liu Jing lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and walked out of Lu again.
She suddenly remembered that there was another old person who might know that she hadn't visited, and that person was Yang Ziyuan!
Liu Jing didn't know where Yang Ziyuan lived, and at the moment, she walked towards the two streets that Yang Ziyuan liked to go to the most. It's also luck, she just came to the street, and at a glance she saw the restaurant opposite, sitting one cup after another, constantly pouring herself wine, crying and laughing Yang Ziyuan.
Liu Jing pressed the hat and walked over.
After sitting down opposite Yang Ziyuan, she took off her hat, and at this time, the guy came over, bent down and asked, "What does Lang Jun want?" ”
"Just give me a bottle of wine."
"Okay! Lang Jun waited. As soon as the guy left, Yang Ziyuan, who was awakened by the conversation between the two, raised his red face with alcohol, and looked at Liu Jing in a daze, he swayed left and right, and only after a long time did he snort, and stammered: "Liu, Brother Liu?" ”
I still recognize her, and it seems that she is not very drunk.
Liu Jing took the wine bottle handed over by the guy, poured a cup for herself, and after giving Yangzi far enough, she replied, "It's me." After a pause, she comforted softly: "Brother Yang, I already know about the changes in the Min Mansion, don't worry too much about it, this business, there are always profits and losses, and it is not good to lose a fortune in the passing years." ”
Liu Jing has a gentle temperament, she talks so eloquently, her voice is low and clear, her expression is gentle and sincere, and her eyes are full of sincerity.
Since the accident in Minfu, none of the vassal families and individuals in Minfu have had a good time. At this time, Yang Ziyuan is also fed up with everyone's guidance and eyes. The wine and meat friends of the former and the younger brother in Pingsuli are now gone. is occasionally encountered, either like a patient who has avoided the epidemic, or there sneeringly, the property he has placed in Wu County has been snatched by those so-called friends in the open, and there is really no good thing.
Liu Jing appeared when he was in such pain, and comforted him so gently, Yang Ziyuan couldn't hold back crying anymore after being moved for a while.
He pressed his forehead against him like this, and the crying sound kept coming into Liu Jing's ears, which was really indescribably pitiful.
