Chapter 90: One Night in Yangzhou
Yang Lian glanced at Chen's stall and smiled slightly, but didn't say anything, but changed the topic and said: "Let us keep an eye on it, don't let these people make any trouble, now is the most critical time, we can't let these people sabotage our actions, if anyone is wrong, then we have to do it first." ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, all our people have been arranged!" Chen nodded hurriedly, with certainty in his tone.
This night is destined to be an unquiet night.
Slender West Lake.
A man with a mustache stood at the bow of a boat, with an anxious look on his face, and said loudly to the boatman rowing behind him: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”
The boatman had a serious face, but he didn't speed up much when he got up, he just said: "Master Liu, we're fast enough, if it's faster, then we really have to collide with others." Look over there, isn't that the flower boat of the White Lady over there? As he spoke, the boatman pointed in one direction.
Liu Chengfeng, who was known as Master Liu, had a slightly less impatient look on his face, but he still commanded quite eagerly: "Then don't hurry up and go over!" ”
A flower boat on the Slender West Lake is a brothel, the lady in charge of the flower boat is the name of the flower boat, and the lady in charge of the flower boat that Liu Chengfeng is looking for is the white lady. Compared with his eldest brother's fondness for this kind of place, Liu Chengfeng is not interested in this kind of place at all, if it weren't for such a big thing, Liu Chengfeng wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night to find his eldest brother.
"Come here, come here, let me get on board!" Liu Chengfeng stood on the bow of the boat and waved to the people on the boat.
When the people on the flower boat saw that it was Liu Chengfeng, they were stunned at first, and then hurriedly leaned over the boat, and when Liu Chengfeng got on the boat, the people on the flower boat had not yet come to say hello, and the flattering smile on his face instantly froze on his face, because Liu Chengfeng pulled the man over and asked, "Where is my eldest brother?" ”
"The eldest lord is watching the White Lady perform in the cabin!" The man was a little stunned, but he still subconsciously agreed.
Stretching out his hand to let go of the person, Liu Chengfeng turned around and walked into the cabin, and after entering the cabin, Liu Chengfeng saw his eldest brother Liu Chengyun at a glance. At this time, the eldest brother was drinking with red faces, and a woman dressed in white snuggled in the arms of the eldest brother, disheveled, smiling like a flower.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't take care of it anymore, so he went up directly and pulled Liu Chengfeng up, seeing that the eldest brother looked sleepy-eyed and confused, Liu Chengfeng was angry in his heart.
picked up the kettle on one side and poured all the pot of water directly on the eldest brother's head, startling the woman in white on the side screamed again and again, but Liu Chengfeng didn't care at all, after pouring the water, he reached out and pulled the eldest brother's face, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Chengyun's face a few times, until Liu Chengyun's expression recovered, Liu Chengfeng stopped.
"Second brother?" Liu Chengyun looked at the person in front of him, shouted, and looked around with some confusion: "Why did you come here?" ”
Although I was very worried about the big brother using those messy things, and I knew that it was inappropriate, but now was not the time to say this, Liu Chengfeng said directly: "Big brother, our ship was detained at the dock, all the people were arrested, and all the salt transported over was sealed, and something happened." ”
Liu Chengyun, who had been half awake from the wine, heard his brother's words, and the remaining half of the wine also woke up instantly, and stood up suddenly, Liu Chengyun said in disbelief: "Who did it?" ”
Liu Chengyun really couldn't imagine that in this one-acre and three-point land in Yangzhou, who would dare to go against him, seal his own salt, and arrest his own people.
"It was Jinyiwei who did it!" Liu Chengfeng hurriedly said: "I heard that there is also a garrison eunuch yamen, these days is not to say that there are people from the capital coming, the prefect also asked us to be careful, originally thought that there was no movement in the past few days and it had nothing to do with us, but I didn't expect these people to go directly to the dock to arrest people." ”
"Go back!" Liu Chengyun was not in the mood to continue eating and drinking at this time, so he directly ordered the old bustard standing not far away: "Drive the boat back, and I will give you twice the silver." ”
The old bustard has nothing to do, not to mention making a lot of money, he can do a lot of less work, maybe he can still take an order after landing, but I don't know if his aunt and grandmother are willing. But this is all later, the old bustard smiled and agreed: "Okay, let's go back!" With that, he hurriedly went out to run errands.
Yangzhou Jixiang Lane, Qian family.
A man in his thirties rushed in and broke directly into the back house, came to the front of a door, the man stretched out his hand and patted the door a few times, and then said: "Master, master, something is wrong!" ”
Inside the house, a man who was busy working on a woman was frightened, and then he turned over directly from the woman, picked up the clothes on one side and wrapped them on the ground, walked directly to the door and opened the door, saw the man outside the door, and asked in a deep voice: "How big of a thing is worth shouting about at night?" ”
"Your lord was almost scared back, and told you that if there is nothing serious, I will arrange for you to dig salt."
Qian Fu hurriedly said: "Master, something happened, our ship was detained at the dock, everyone was arrested, and all the salt was sealed." ”
Qian Bin was slightly stunned, and then asked in disbelief: "Who is so bold?" This is interesting, this Yangzhou City has not had such interesting people and such interesting things for a long time. As he spoke, he glanced at Qian Fu and asked, "Tell me, who did such an interesting thing?" ”
"Master, it's the Jinyi Guard!" Qian Fu said with some eagerness: "But behind the scenes, it should be those people from the capital." ”
Listening to Qian Fu's words, Qian Bin was not only not nervous, but was a little relieved: "I thought they were coming for us, but now it seems that they are not, so it will be easy to do." You tell the people below, cooperate with Jinyiwei to check carefully, our Qian family is a law-abiding businessman. ”
Qian Fu really doesn't understand what his master thinks, law-abiding businessman? Can you be considered a law-abiding businessman?
But whatever the master commanded, Qian Fu hurriedly agreed: "Yes, master, I will give the order!" ”
"Prepare a generous gift, after dawn I will go to visit the steward of the Shouning Marquis Mansion." Qian Bin thought for a while and then ordered: "The gift must be heavy enough, understand?" ”
"Don't worry, master, the little one understands!" Qian Fu hurriedly agreed.
Qian Bin looked at Qian Fu and glared at him fiercely: "Don't leave yet?" What are you doing standing here? Saying that, he kicked Qian Fu directly, and when Qian Fu turned around and left, Qian Bin also turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, Qian Bin said with a smile: "Little lady, Qian Fu was driven away by me, let's come on!" ”
