Outside the restaurant, Lu Yi looked at the people coming and going at the ferry as if he didn't care. There are many ships passing through the ferry here, but the loading and unloading of goods is orderly, and all kinds of people seem to be very familiar with each other......

"My lord, this place is the territory of the Wu'an Gang, and most of the civil transportation in Yangzhou City is under the control of the Wu'an Gang." Zhou Si walked to the side and also looked at the people who were moving goods back and forth, "There are many of them, and they are powerful, but they are quite obedient." ”

Wu'an Gang, although Lu Yi has lived in the capital for a long time, he has also heard of this gang: "I heard that the gang leader's surname is Xie, so he is good at single-handedness." ”

"Yes, the gang leader Xie Baili, the people in the rivers and lakes call Xie Dandao, he has intervened in the Cao Yun from Jiangning to Suzhou, and the big gangs and small villages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have also sold him face. In recent years, he has grown older and has not seen much of it, and the affairs of the gang here are all taken care of by the two hall masters. ”

"Two hall masters?"

"The master of the Qinglong Hall and the master of the Vermilion Bird Hall, as well as the master of the White Tiger Hall are in Jiangning, and the master of the Xuanwu Hall is in Suzhou."

Lu Yi nodded and asked lightly: "Is the Wu'an Gang involved with the government?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Sijiao seemed to be a little embarrassed, "I don't dare to talk nonsense, but this time Zhou Xian's 100,000 taels of river repair money was sent to Yangzhou by the Wu'an Gang." ”

Lu Yi was stunned, and quickly turned his head to look at Zhou Sijiao: "The river repair money is escorted by the Wu'an Gang?" It's not in order. ”

"It's not in accordance with the rules, but a lot of silver has been put into the warehouse, and no one has pursued the matter."

As he was talking, a few more horses came on the other side of the muddy road, led by a man with an ink cloak and a moon-white silk skirt, which turned out to be a woman. The long veil of the hat reached to her waist, and she could not see her face clearly, except that she could see an unpretentious knife hanging from her waist. Wherever the woman passed, the people around her put down their matters and bowed to her very respectfully.

"This person is the Suzaku Hall Master of the Wu'an Gang, Shangguan Xi, I heard that he studied under Wudang, and he made a miracle with two swords in one hand." Zhou Sijiao leaned over and said in a low voice, "Don't look at her as a woman, but she is a hard stubble, three years ago, she picked the Jiangning Dong family water village alone and merged the water village into the Wu'an Gang." ”

At the same time, Shangguan Xi also saw Lu Yi, in a gloomy color of crow green, Buddha head blue, and light clouds, his big red flying fish suit was extremely eye-catching, and it was really difficult not to notice.

Her eyes sank slightly, and she turned her head and asked the person next to her, "How can there be a brocade guard here?" Did anyone cause the trouble? The second half of the sentence was a bit heavy.

“…… Probably not. The subordinate immediately went to ask. The attendant dismounted, and after questioning, replied, "They came to the restaurant for dinner, and they did not behave unusually. ”

"So."

Shangguan Xi's eyes looked at Lu Yi through the light veil of the hat, and at the same time, she also noticed that there were people in the restaurant this summer, she turned over and dismounted, and walked straight in this direction.

"Boss, something seems wrong, I'll go out and take a look."

This summer keenly noticed that the outside was much quieter than before, and rushed out with a bun in his mouth, and when he saw Shangguan Xi coming over, all the peddlers and pawns around him were silent......

"Hall Master Shangguan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Zhou Sijiao didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, smiling kindly.

Shangguan Xi also arched his hand and said with a smile: "We run the rivers and lakes, and there are a lot of officials, and we are willing to enjoy food, and it is a good life to have a tile to cover the roof." ”

"Is the old gang leader okay? I should have gone to the house to say hello, but I was busy with official business, and I really couldn't get out. ”

"Lord Cheng Si is worried, I will definitely tell the helper." Shangguan Xi looked at Lu Yi and said softly, "This official has very ...... eyes."

Zhou Sijiao hurriedly said: "I'll introduce you, this is the Jinyi Wei experience from the capital, and Lu Yilu has experience...... My lord, Shangguan Xi, the master of the Suzaku Hall of the Wu'an Gang. ”

Lu Yi's eyes sharply looked at the face under the light veil, and only after a moment did he arch his hand and say, "Long Yang." ”

The light of Lu Bing, the supreme commander of the Jinyi Guard, although Lu Yi's official position is not high, his name is very big, Shangguan Xi has naturally heard of him, and said with a smile at the moment: "I have heard for a long time that Lu has experienced both civil and military affairs, and the blue is better than the blue, I don't know what business trip to Jiangnan this time?" ”

"Lu experienced this time for Zhou Xian's case, and the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of river repair money are still unknown, which really worries us a lot." Before Lu Yi could speak, Zhou Sijiao rushed to answer for him.

Since he had said this, Lu Yi asked directly: "I heard that it was your gang that escorted the river repair money to Yangzhou?" ”

"Yes, it's the Gang who is responsible for the escort, but the silver taels have been counted and put into storage, and the handover has been completed." Speaking of this, Shangguan Xi stretched out his hand to lift the light veil on the hat, revealing a beautiful face, his eyes were looking at Lu Yi like paint, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an unconcealable pride, "Lu Shi won't be suspicious of me waiting, right?" ”

Seeing that Lu Yi smiled and was silent, Zhou Sijiao was afraid of a conflict between the two parties, and said repeatedly: "Of course not, of course it won't ......."

At this time, this summer, who was standing behind Lu Yi, finally got a glimpse of Shangguan Xi's appearance, and interjected with a smile and praised: "Sister, you are born so well, and you can play double knives, you are really talented and beautiful!" ”

Although he didn't know who she was, Shangguan Xi still smiled at her, and the atmosphere eased.

"There's still help with me, so I can't accompany you." She looked at Lu Yi and smiled gently, "I hope that the adults will solve this case as soon as possible, and return the grass people to a peaceful world." Leave! ”

Turning neatly, she walked towards the ferry, the light yarn fluttering in the drizzle. Lu Yi looked at her back, and naturally could hear the mockery in her tone, he smiled faintly, he couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, and turned his head slightly to look at the chaotic summer, and the latter had already returned to Yang Chengwan's table.

"Boss, you also saw that Shangguan Hall Master, right?" This summer tilted his head, through the bamboo window of the restaurant, looked at Shangguan Xi's back with envy, and sighed: "I didn't know that I shouldn't be a fast catcher, and I should be a hall master, it's really majestic!" ”

Yang Chengwan shook his head: "Can she single-handedly pick up Jiangning Dongjia Water Village, can you?" ”

"That's amazing! I really can't see it. "I stammered this summer.

Yang Yue smiled: "You can convince people with 'virtue'. ”

"The young master has both ability and political integrity, you are not convinced!" Poke Yang Yue's waist and eyes tightly this summer, but unfortunately Yang Yue is not afraid of itching by nature, no matter how he pokes, his face is calm, it is really boring, "Da Yang, you are stronger than me, your eyes are clear, maybe people can take a fancy to you, or will you stay in Jiangnan to be a son-in-law?" ”

"How can it be done, my wife can't be so magnificent." Yang Yue shook his head, "I want to be gentle and virtuous, and I have to be able to work, and she will light the fire when I cook......"

"You cook, she lights the fire, and then I just sit at the table and wait for the food." Jin Xia nodded again and again, squinting with a smile, "It's beautiful!" It's beautiful! ”

Yang Yue squinted at her and said disgustedly, "...... Why are you still here?! ”

"See that you are forgetful, you married a daughter-in-law, and I can't go to your house for a meal." This summer, he glanced at him, and then ate the buns, "...... Mutton filling, this stuffing is really tender, stronger than the buns made by Dayang. Chief, you taste a ......"

As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept over the bamboo window, and suddenly froze—

Outside the window, separated from the restaurant by a thin layer of rain and mist, there is a rather large night sailing boat docked on the dock, with the Osprey flag of the Wu'an Gang on the bow of the boat, which is quite conspicuous.

Shangguan Xi was standing on the sampan, and there was a bearded man, a head taller than her, and his figure was quite burly and thick. The two faced each other and said something.

Half of the bun was still in his mouth, and he forgot to chew it this summer, staring at the beard from afar, with a thoughtful expression.

The beard was obviously very familiar with Shangguan Xi, and in the middle of speaking, he actually reached out to take off her hat and tossed it in his hand, Shangguan Xi was not angry.

Yang Yue followed her gaze and looked over: "Are you still envious of others?" ”

"Shhh This summer came back to his senses a little and chewed a few buns, but his eyes were still staring......

After Shangguan Xi said a few words, the beard turned in the direction of the restaurant, looked at it from afar, raised his chin slightly, and walked straight to this side.

"I used to think that the fast fishing suit was enough to be hated, but now I find that the Jinyi Wei Flying Fish Suit is even more hateful than us. Da Yang, don't you think that bearded person is very familiar? "Nunu mouth this summer.

Yang Yue squinted and looked carefully: "...... Big and tall, with a beard, a bit like the big palm of the pastry shop in the east of Beijing. ”

"What eyes do you have!" This summer disgusted.

At this time, the bearded man had already walked to the front of the restaurant, stood straight in front of Lu Yi, and said in an unkind tone: "The experience of Jinyi Wei from the capital, right?" ”

Lu Yi didn't answer, turned his head and glanced at Zhou Sijiao, and the meaning was very clear: Who is this person?

Zhou Sijiao had never seen this person, and he opened his mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.

"I will help me send a lot of money to the silver treasury. Now that you've lost your own money, do you want to push it on my gang? The beard was so imposing that even Yang Chengwan, who was sitting inside, stopped his chopsticks and looked sideways.

"Young helper!" Shangguan Xi followed and said in a low voice, "Young gang leaders don't need to be angry, they probably just ask according to the rules, and have no other intentions." ”

Less helpers! He turned out to be the leader of the Wu'an Gang.

This summer stared at the beard in disbelief.

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, quickly returned to normal, and said with a slight smile: "It turned out to be the young gang leader of the Wu'an Gang, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Don't come to this set, I don't like to deal with your official family!" The beard seems to have an inexplicable anger towards Lu Yi, and every word and sentence is like an iron hammer smashing on a stone slab.

Lu Yi didn't see the slightest annoyance on his face, and asked gently: "Since you don't like to deal with the official family, why do you want to escort Zhou Xian to repair the river?" ”

"Do you need to explain my affairs to you?" The beard shouted straight, full of arrogant appearance.

“…… Young Gang Master," Shangguan Xi obviously didn't want him to have a conflict with the official family, and he needed to give the Young Gang Master face, "Lu has just arrived, there must be some misunderstanding, I will ask Zhao Tong to judge this matter later......"

Before she finished speaking, the beard blocked her big hand to stop her from talking, and her thick and black eyebrows were raised high: "He has broken into our land, and it is called a misunderstanding!" ”

"It's really a misunderstanding, ......a misunderstanding," Zhou Sijiao hurriedly explained, "We were originally going to the mass grave to investigate the corpses, and because we had eaten nearby, we came to eat nearby." ”

The beard didn't take Zhou Sijiao in his eyes at all, and only stared at Lu Yi alone: "I'm afraid that it's in the name of using rice, but in fact, you want to find out about my help!" ”

"No, no, it's not." Zhou Sijian was so anxious that his tongue was about to tie it, "I am to blame for this, this matter." He didn't understand where this young gang leader came from, and why he couldn't get along with them, seeing that the gang around him was getting more and more, he was afraid that it would not be easy to get out safely.

Shangguan Xi didn't understand why he had to get along with Lu Yi, he was the leader of the young gang, and it was difficult to refute his face in public. She raised her eyebrows and said politely: "Young helper, the word is on our side, if there is any misunderstanding, go into the house to make a pot of tea, don't worry about not being clear." ”

"Hmph, do I have a relationship with him, I can't drink it." The beard said simply, staring straight at Lu Yi, "What's the matter?" You give a word! ”

Lu Yi said lightly: "What does the young gang leader want to hear?" ”

"You can say whatever you want to hear?" The bearded eyebrows were raised high, and his eyes were full of mockery, "I'll let you call me twice, would you like to?" ”
