Chapter 1 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 1 Everywhere is Empty (4)
There was a crisp bang, and the person in front of him dodged the surprise attack from the face, but let the oncoming treasure fall to pieces on the wall.
The tea in the stove was still boiling, and no one moved the several earthen bowls that had been poured in front of them, but the few people sitting around had already stood up against the wall in shock. During the Xuande period, the blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen turned into several petals, and the green glaze of Su Mali from overseas still glowed with a glassy luster, setting off its supposed high value and the anger of the owner of the porcelain bowl. Such a tea cup, if it is in the market in Liangguang or Beijing, should be sold for thirty taels, if a set of four can be gathered, it will not be more than ten times.
The man who was beaten froze in place and trembled, although he dodged a blow with a flash, it was hard to guarantee that he would not retaliate more viciously because of this blow, "It's better to suffer this blow," the man thought in his heart. And the rest of the people stood quietly aside, not at all angry, everyone was afraid that the owner of the tea cup would transfer the target of venting to his own family.
The tea cup is still left from a batch of goods a year ago, in this white horse, even the owner of the tong does not have such a one, but now it is smashed for his own bad mood, how not to make people frightened.
Ma Heimei's high cheekbones flushed slightly, as if she was annoyed that something really went wrong this time, and this time it was indeed a mistake.
"The villain is also blind, and he doesn't listen to Cui Bahu's nonsense, obviously he understands the details of his property, but he doesn't want to have such a battle, how can it be an ordinary person, but he encountered Hu Lu, a rammer, and the horsehair is the most brainless in the horsehair, so he gave birth to this disaster." I just talked for a long time, but I didn't hear the sentence 'I am willing to be punished by my brother', and the person who spoke was still convenient to push the responsibility.
Look at the person in front of him, Ma Heimei, who is used to walking sideways in ten miles and eight towns, has martial arts, and has a ruthless energy, so he has to be a personal thug in front of the master, but this person is quite thoughtful, in addition to using his relationship with the outside to find out some news, but there is money and money exchanges, and he never let him handle it.
The sun in the sky is not small, but the attic is dark and damp, in the mountains and mountains in the southwest place, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, which are mainly stilted buildings in the shape of houses, even if there are many Han families. The dam behind Tongzi is the place where the soldiers practice daily, and the attic is on the edge of the dam. It's just that the feeling in the house now, in addition to the dampness, is a little more chilly.
This time the situation can be described as very bad, and the trouble caused by a deal with Hongmiao a few days ago can be regarded as a small hijab today. Originally, since last year, I have been in contact with the horsehair department from Banzhou, and we have also done a lot of transactions together, relying on the power of the land in my hometown, and the barbarians have agreed to divide the account by fifty-fifty, and the actual operation is down, because of the control of the way to sell the stolen goods, I usually have to take more than sixty percent, and the income is quite considerable. All those who came and went to and from the merchant but had been robbed were wiped out, and only a few beautiful ladies were left, two in the tent of the head of the horsehair department, and one was now locked in his attic.
Nama Heimei's sister-in-law married in Luomengguan, and Cui Ba, a Yaren from Zunyi Mansion, has a personal relationship, and Cui Ba is doing a variety of specialty tooth industry economy in Banzhou, so he has a lot of friends with merchants. Through this relationship, Ma Heimei can often find out about the situation of business travel, and Cui Ba also pays attention to what Ma Heimei does on weekdays, but he just doesn't say it.
This time the robbery was a rich and noble family in Guiyang Mansion, only one day, the news that Wang Xiaolian who was killed and Wang Jinshi, who is now in Guangdong as a patrol imperial history, was a relative of the family reached the ears of Aji, and the news that the heads of a group of red seedlings were hung on the city of Xifeng. The one who was recognized by Yang Da was Hu Lu, the leader of this group of barbarians, who had eaten wine in Tongzi once when he took the goods to write off the account a few years ago. If Hu Lu and the others fail to rob and kill this time, it is okay to let people go, and no one will investigate it. It's okay to take a step back and kill it cleanly, but the bitter master doesn't have it, so there's nothing to worry about. But this time, not only did he survive, but his own family also suffered heavy losses, and he was recognized again, and many bad luck things were encountered together. Fortunately, they all died cleanly, and there was no proof of death, but it was only a few days, and Qiu Ba of Xifeng found Bai Ma Tonglai, which was really a dog's nose. No one reported the news, and Ah Ji naturally didn't believe it, but he never imagined that the joint of the matter would fall on Baowu, who was the most timid and afraid of things in Tongzi.
Several people in the house are Ah Ji's cronies, except for the younger brother who is still acting as a liaison in the horsehair department and has not returned, these are the most knowledgeable letters, although they don't like Ma Heimei's head and tail are not clean, but fundamentally speaking, he can't be blamed for it all, Cui Ba who killed in the sky, Qiu Ba who killed in the middle of the road, and the horsehair that is not angry, which is indispensable. Especially the horsehair is the most hateful, I heard that it is the strongest man in the fourteen or fifteen clans who has faced seven or eight patrolmen of the Xifeng Station, and he can actually ask the other party to turn over without leaving one, and he did not escape back for half of it, no wonder he will be bullied by other red seedlings in Sichuan and can't stay, and he ran to Guizhou, thinking of this, Ah Ji cursed the head of the horsehair department again in his heart, and he still didn't understand the hatred, but in the whole room, there was no utensils worth venting, and then look at the broken porcelain in the corner, it was a bit of a pity.
…………
'What to do'
There is also the current owner of White Horse Tong who has the same problem as Ah Ji, although he has been maneuvering in front of the steward for a long time, but how long can this last? When the Qiu Ba saw the benefits, they were like flies smelling blood, how could they not gather in one place? But the leader in the middle of the partial life is the same family of the bitter master, and there are few stammers on weekdays, and he is helpless.
This time, the steward came in, and he was afraid that he didn't plan to go out to see Qiu Bamen's face again, and after talking for a long time, he was all about growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige. How can he not understand the current situation, on weekdays, there are few families who dare to provoke him Bai Matong, one is that the local soldiers under him are brave and ruthless, and the other is that Yang Baoer is used to making silver, the Xuanwei Division, Guiyang Mansion, and even the Governor's Yamen have dots, and there is a kid in his own family who has donated an ungraded official in the Xuanwei Division, although he has no grade, but he can speak.
After all, Steward Wang still underestimated his master, although Yang Baoer lived a life of cockfighting and lackeys on weekdays, he was always clear to his subordinates, and this steward was clearly agitating the generals, 'playing a good calculation'.
Yang Bao'er pondered for a moment, and then made up her mind: "It can only be like this......
"What do you mean?"
"The sins you have done at home, you have to pay back."
"I can't move." Why can't Steward Wang understand Yang Baoer's thoughts? Just looking at the fierce look on his face, he can guess seven or eight points, and without some means, his father's and brother's family business has long been divided by his uncle's family.
"There are many local soldiers in Tongzi who have his cronies, and if this one is not good, there will be trouble again." Concealing his own careful thoughts, Steward Wang took the righteousness and persuaded Yang Bao'er to come.
"How much profit do you get from Ajina every month? Protect him like this? ”
Steward Wang's face changed, "No, Lord Tong, what kind of nonsense did you listen to?" ”
"Last month, He Economy of Fucheng helped him get out of the gold artifact, and it seems that you are half of it? How much silver is that? Is there a hundred taels? "He is a good economist in Guiyangwei, and he is one of the few north-south goods economies in the city, unlike ordinary people who do everything, and he is also a first-class businessman. This He economy is mostly engaged in the purchase and sale of valuable goods, and has his own doorway, and even connects to the maritime merchants of Liangguang and Fujian and even the wealthy families in Beijing.
Steward Wang's face was blue and white for a while, and the embarrassment of the lie being exposed made him a little flustered, and he hurriedly said: "The little one is just blind and covets his silver, but the small ones he does really don't know anything." "Steward Wang's words are half believed, Ah Ji seduced Hongmiao to do the next thing, Steward Wang really doesn't know the details, but if you mention pickles, how can you not know the joints, whether the money is sticky or not, and the blood can't be smelled? How deaf and clear-sighted is Steward Wang, can the Han woman who is upstairs be able to hide from him? It's just that I didn't expect that Yang Bao'er, who is used to eating in the house like a dead pig on weekdays, is even better.
However, since the selfishness has been exposed, it would be too stupid not to find a way to redeem it in front of the master of Tong, and after making up his mind, Steward Wang's attitude was reversed, and said: "The small mind of the master of Tong can also be saved, but this Ah Ji is not a good person to deal with on weekdays, and Qiu Ba is persecuting outside, so how to find a charter to do it in an emergency." ”
Yang Bao'er saw that Wang was in charge, so he said: "Only by disposing of Ah Ji can Bai Matong live in peace, and it is better to block his mouth everywhere, so as not to cause another incident." Besides, most of the things have passed to the top, and this matter is over, and the government still has to pay some money to perfunctory. Yang Bao'er hesitated for a moment when she said this, but decided to turn over the hole cards, and said: "As for how to do it, you just have to rest assured, you have Ma Heimei to help you." ”
Steward Wang looked suddenly enlightened, and was just about to go out, but was stopped by Yang Bao'er again, and said: "After the incident, you quietly went to the north, I inquired and understood, the pickles in the horsehair department are now in Nanwang Mountain, you went up the mountain overnight, and asked the pickles to go back to Sichuan to avoid the limelight." ”
Steward Wang hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "It's good to have some tokens, this time the horsehair department has suffered such a big loss, but it doesn't seem to be reasonable, why don't you write a letter to the master?" ”
Yang Bao'er glared: "When will the barbarians be able to read and write?" Last time, the people from the horsehair department came to act in Tongzhong, and I remember that there was one of you who drank wine and ate meat, and if you had other thoughts, I would let it go, anyway, it was a good thing you were waiting to do, and it had nothing to do with me. ”
It seems that threats are more effective than appeasement, and Steward Wang immediately put away the thoughts on his face.
Yang Bao'er said again: "After finishing here, you go up the mountain alone, don't let others know, and don't ride a horse, so as not to attract eyes on the road." If you don't delay, you will be there tonight, I heard that Asuke is also on the mountain, what to say and what not to say when you meet, you should have a plan in your heart. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I can save it."
Yang Bao'er urged again, and Steward Wang led a few strong people to the back of Tongzi.
Ah Ji and everyone were still discussing, half an hour later, I didn't see any decent regulations come out, just helpless, suddenly heard someone knocking on the door in front of him, busy asking who it was.
"Wang Shiliang."
"What?"
"Lord Tong asked Brother Ah Ji to come over for questioning and discuss how to send Qiu Ba outside."
After waiting for a while, the door creaked open, and Ah Ji was the first to come out and said, "Someone came over to mention that He Laowang was in charge." ”
