Can go all the way along the Yangtze River from the southwest, reach the southeast to sell betel nuts, and transport back silk and porcelain from the southeast, both roads can make the difference and make a fortune.

Of course, the ancient merchants were a very hard group of people, and not all of them were not necessarily rich and unkind.

If it was just a county magistrate bullying him, Jia Cong might just say hello and let him pay some money casually to finish the job, and he could also win over a rich businessman, who he couldn't get along with, and he couldn't get along with money.

However, now it is the eunuch Liu Zhiyuan who is looting, and he wants to add to the crime, why is there no excuse? In the face of this cruel reality, Jia Cong will not make rash moves.

However, this clue is very important to him, the eunuch came out, it was nothing more than the emperor's distrust, how should he please the emperor? How should he deal with this? Does it make people say "Gonggong Liu went to Huaiyang, and Jia Yushi watched from the other side, scaring away the betel nut king of Yunnan"?

A series of schemes flashed in Jia Zhuangyuan's mind, and he touched his chin to think, at this time, the king of Binglang had been ordered by the eunuch to call the people of the yamen to arrest him, and the other rich merchants who paid the money scattered in a hurry.

Then, there was a strange scene on the street, the roadside stalls disappeared with lightning speed, and everyone ran as if they were playing a movie.

Bang bang bang!

The doors and windows on the second floor on both sides were closed, and the Qinghe households suddenly stayed at home and talked about Liu Sechang.

So there were only Jia Cong, scholars, and Miaoyu left, and those eunuchs continued to the next stop to take advantage of it.

Jia Cong looked at it speechlessly, and Sun Fu asked, "Do you want me to take a few people to investigate?" ”

Jia Cong nodded, looking at Sun Fu's back, he felt that Sun Fu was okay to do things at home, but it was a little reluctant to come out outside, this kind of thing should not need to ask him, look at his eyes and actions, he should know how to do it, after all, he has been with people for so many years, he wants someone who can do things well even if he is not there, it seems that he still lacks a few people. However, Jia Cong can also understand that the minions of Jiafu are used to being happy, and they are lacking in the big scene.

"Brother Shanhai...... "It turned out that the scholar was Lin Ruhai's former staff member Guan Chaosheng, recognized him for a few seconds, and came over to hug his fists.

Jia Cong also looked at it for a few seconds, and said with a smile: "Farewell to Suzhou, I saw Brother Guan again, you are not a guest at Teacher Shen's mansion?" How are you doing over there? Where to go? ”

"Everything is fine in Shenfutai, and there is some unhappiness with Songjiang Mansion, which is not a big deal." Guan Chaosheng said naturally: "Guan Mou is here to defect to Lord Yushi, I don't know if you want it?" ”

"That's right, I'll be Mr. Toplease later." Jia Cong recalled that when he went down to Yangzhou, it was good to have this Shaoxing master, but I don't know how much he asked for? After talking slowly, he had already seen Miaoyu and beckoned: "It turns out that you are slower than me in turning the waterway, let's go together?" ”

Miaoyu was surprised, she was already very rude, she lowered her head unconsciously, Jia Cong's sentence scared the person who beat the line away, he had a lot of honor guards and entourage, all of them were tall and big, and they were not people who could be bullied at a glance, Miaoyu bit her mouth and nodded her head without saying a word.

It's easy to say, instead of being beaten and insulted in turn, it's better to be cheap, isn't it?

Moreover, Jia Cong is like a meticulous actor who killed the Oscar winner in seconds, he can be elegant, and he will be vulgar.

……

In the Dragon King Temple, it is said that the tide rises and falls here in the south of the Yangtze River and the north is a normal phenomenon, the ancient people were superstitious, they have built the Dragon King Temple, the Snake King Temple, Yongle 16 years and the flood continues, the incense is vigorous here, the temple door is not decaying, Miaoyu and Guan Chaosheng have been cleaned, Jia Cong asked people to put rice porridge and fish meat, and talked for a long time under the lamp.

After a while, Sun Fu came back and forth: "The betel nut king was mentioned to the Qinghe County Ya, and Liu Gonggong's people pressed his name as an arrogance king, and the county order did not dare to try it, saying that it was to be handed over to Huai'an Mansion. ”

"It is estimated that the Huai'an Mansion will not dare to try it, and it will be handed over to the Jiangsu Criminal Prosecution Department, and this will not be tried, so should it be handed over to the Three Law Divisions of the capital? If you drag it down like this, won't it make the whole world laugh off your big teeth? Guan Chaosheng asked keenly: "Is the betel nut king a Yunnan merchant or a Jin merchant?" ”

"It's a Jin merchant, and his family has sent a lot of silver, but he can't keep it."

Jia Cong frowned and thought about it, Qinghe County did not dare to interrogate, this is very normal, because this is clearly "the road is the eye", but whoever cherishes feathers, how can he do this? But it was not good to offend Liu Zhiyuan, so he used the first magic weapon of officialdom, "Tai Chi Hand" and "Tuo".

"No wonder it's so rich, it turned out to be a Jin merchant ......" Jia Cong said: "I am responsible for this matter, Liu Zhiyuan's excuse is nothing more than a flood, and the emperor will definitely agree to control the river, but if it exceeds the limit of the businessmen's patience, this black cauldron will be pushed on my head again." ”

Guan Chaosheng was thinking about it, Miaoyu drank porridge quietly, and suddenly said, "Won't you come forward and solve it?" That father-in-law Liu has a relationship with you. I really can't imagine that hearing you say this, a betel nut king will muddy the waters of Jiangsu officialdom. ”

"But the symptoms are not the root cause." Guan Chaosheng said what Jia Cong wanted to say, and whispered to Jia Cong when he came up with an idea, and Jia Cong nodded after thinking about it for a while.

Guan Chaosheng looked at Miaoyu, excused himself from his work, and retired, so that Miaoyu was a little panicked, thinking that he hadn't made amends to Jia Cong yet, he rinsed his mouth with tea after dinner, took out a stick of Xiao and an ancient book "The Legend of Flying Immortals" from his suite, and it was not easy to make amends, and said: "I'll blow a song for adults." ”

"So you can also do a? Good. Jia Cong was eating a plate of peanuts while staring intently at Miaoyu's lips without rubbing rouge, he liked this natural beauty, such good lips, wouldn't it be a pity not to blow the flute? Tyrannical things, he listened to the tune in his ears, but he thought in his heart, what is it like to give himself a with such a spotless natural beauty in Jiangnan.

After blowing it, Miaoyu picked up "The Story of the Flying Immortals" to watch, Jia Cong didn't pay attention to the book at first, because he hadn't heard of "The Story of the Flying Immortals" at all, why wasn't it "The Legend of Mortal Immortals"? But I casually saw that the handwriting and paper of this book looked ancient, and asked, "What kind of book is this?" ”

"Zhang Tianshi's, the book that records Lao Tzu and his own immortality, was purchased at a high price by my father from the merchants in Shuzhong when I was young."

"Is it the original?" According to the letters of Dai Quan, Liu Zhiyuan, and Jia Yuanchun, Jia Cong knew that Emperor Yongle now wanted to live forever...... It is said that this is how King Qin pleases him, think about it, does Zhang Tianshi have such a book?

Maybe it's because the time and space are different, and legend has it that Zhang Daoling flew into an immortal and went to accompany Lao Tzu in the west of Hanguguan.

"It's Zhang Daoling's original, but I don't really believe in becoming an immortal, I just like these words." Miaoyu is sure.

"Can you sell it to me?" Jia Cong believes that Miaoyu will not lie, because she disdains to do so, Miaoyu's teacups are all antique treasures, with extraordinary origins, it is conceivable that her family was very wealthy when she was a child, and she also likes to treasure, and it is not uncommon to have Zhang Tianshi's books.

Just because of Miaoyu's teacup, it also caused a pen war between Shen Congwen and Zhou Ruchang, a literary master and historical examiner, and a master of the Red School of Verification, for this matter, he openly tore it apart.

Without waiting for Miaoyu to answer, Ya Po's voice came from next door, which seemed to be a matchmaker.
