Yuan Rong sighed: "It seems that your fire has not yet arrived at home, since the Hou Ye has already made arrangements, he is naturally fully prepared, and in front of everyone's eyes, he staged a good plan to drop the bag, hiding from the eyes of everyone present." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Kong Erhu, if you come to redeem your money today, Uncle Gu will naturally not let you run in vain." Xiang Gu Wenwen made a look, and the two paintings were quickly rolled up, Gu Wenwen stepped forward with the two paintings, and sneered: "Your painting is here, and the ransom will naturally be handed over." ”

The corners of Kong Erhu's eyes twitched, but Gu Wenwen was full of confidence at this time, and he was angry, and stretched out his hand and said: "Quickly take the silver, 160,000 taels of silver, and not a penny is missing." ”

Kong Erhu turned around, but found that the gate had been blocked by several guards with knives, although the four men under him were tall and big, but where did they dare to make a move with the guards of the Hou Mansion, seeing that the eyes of the people around him were staring at him, Kong Erhu only felt that his whole body was weak, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he did not take out the ransom money for a while.

Gu Wenwen sneered, stepped forward, stuffed the two paintings into Kong Erhu's hands, and unceremoniously reached into Kong Erhu's arms and grabbed the stack of silver tickets, Kong Erhu's face twitched, but he didn't dare to stop it, Gu Wenwen took the silver ticket, turned around and handed it to his buddy, and said: "Count it, see how much, if you lose a penny today, don't think about walking out of this door." ”

The guy was also overjoyed at this time, took the silver ticket, counted it in public, and after a while, he said: "Uncle, exactly 160,000 taels of silver, not much for one cent, not a lot for one." ”

Gu Wenwen laughed and said: "Okay, Kong Erhu, our accounts have been cleared, thank you for taking care of this number, next time you have something, just bring it." Reaching out and pushing on Kong Erhu's chest, Kong Erhu took a few steps back, his face like ashes.

Gu Wenwen was in a desperate situation, his heart was full of joy, he never thought that Qi Ning set up a banquet yesterday, but he had already planned it, just to lure the snake out of the hole.

At present, the danger of the Gu family is not only solved, but even the 30,000 taels of silver are also taken, and the heart is excited, and Qi Ning is not only very grateful, but also admires the five-body throw.

Kong Erhu's expression was in a trance, his whole body was weak, and he was about to leave, but Qi Ning had already said: "Kong Erhu, go back and tell your master, how much silver he has sent, and this Hou is right." You tell him to remember that sometimes there are too many holes, and be careful not to bury yourself in them. ”

Kong Erhu took his subordinates to the desert, and the people in front of the door watched a good show and enjoyed it, and at this time, the good show ended, and they all dispersed.

Gu Wenwen hurriedly invited Qi Ning and Yuan Rong to the back hall of the pawnshop for tea, and Yuan Rong asked with a smile: "Master Hou, you seem to already know who is behind the ghost." ”

"Don't pretend to be confused, can't you guess?" Qi Ning smiled: "Qiao Yu, you naturally know each other. ”

Yuan Rong said: "Qiao Yu's father is the head of the household department, and he is not a high-ranking official, and I don't have much contact with him. ”

"The head of the household is Dou Kui, and the surname Qiao is working under Dou Kui, if this Qiao Yu says that he has nothing to do with Dou Lianzhong, then he is really a ghost." Qi Ning smiled faintly: "Dou Lianzhong hates me to the core, but he doesn't dare to face my Jinyi Hou Mansion head-on, it just so happens that my uncle went to Beijing to do business, this Dou Lianzhong is afraid that he has been staring at his uncle for a long time, and has been waiting for the opportunity to come out like this." ”

Yuan Rong understood and said, "Dou Lianzhong hates you to the core, but he doesn't dare to provoke you, so he wants to sprinkle his anger on Uncle Gu?" ”

"That's pretty much how it went." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Dou Lianzhong's little trick, you can understand it if you think about it carefully. However, the trap set this time was also vicious, and my uncle was almost put in prison by them. ”

At this time, Gu Wenwen was still outside to deal with the next matter, after all, today was the deadline, and since the silver was recovered, it was natural to repay the debts of the money bank immediately.

"Since Master Hou knows that Dou Lianzhong is doing the ghost behind his back, why did he release that Kong Erhu today?" Yuan Rong said suspiciously: "Take down Kong Erhu and hand it over to Kyoto Mansion Mo Tieduan, Lao Mo will naturally not let go of this matter, if it is really Dou Lianzhong framed behind his back, it is the right time for Mo Tie to come forward." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "Although Dou Lianzhong is not smart, he must not have come forward in person in this matter, this Kong Erhu seems to be just a scoundrel in the market, Dou Lianzhong will never find this kind of person in person, so even if Kong Erhu is caught, it is impossible to get Dou Lianzhong's evidence from his mouth." He smiled faintly: "Since Dou Lianzhong is restless, let him toss, I just hope that he will not fall into my hands, otherwise....... 1But he did not speak.

At this time, Gu Wenwen had already entered the house, and said with a grateful face: "Master Hou, if there is no you today, the consequences will be unimaginable, and my Gu family will be completely finished." He actually took a stack of silver bills over: "Master Hou, after deducting the capital and the profit of the repayment bank, this is 20,000 taels of silver, you ......!" ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Master Hou, don't get me wrong." Gu Wenwen hurriedly said: "This time I am confused, if it weren't for you, I Gu Wenwen would not have survived." You will accept this bit of silver, and it will be my thank-you gift. ”

Qi Ning pushed back and said: "Uncle, eat a trench and grow wise, with this lesson, you will naturally be careful in your actions in the future." I won't take this silver, but if I really lack money in the future, I'll ask you for it again. ”

Gu Wenwen hesitated for a moment, finally put it away, and said, "Master Hou, it's almost noon, let's go to the restaurant and have something to eat, you can't refuse." I have sent to inform my sister that you have brought back all the money and that you will eat at my side at noon. ”

Qi Ning knew that Gu's article was also to express his gratitude, and quietly it was almost noon, no matter where he was, it was a meal, and smiled at Yuan Rong: "Yuan Gongzi, how about delaying you a little time and having a light meal together?" ”

Yuan Rong said with a smile: "Someone treats them, they eat and drink for nothing, why don't they eat?" Xiang Gu said: "Uncle Gu, it's only two streets away from here, there is an HSBC Spring Restaurant, which is quiet and tastes good, let's go over there." ”

Gu Wenwen naturally didn't say anything, he cleaned up at the moment, a few people went out, and several guards who accompanied him also followed, and when they arrived at HSBC Spring, the façade was actually not big, but the decoration was very elegant, and it was also very quiet, there was a total of two floors, upstairs was a separate small private room, and several guards sat downstairs, and Gu Wenwen invited Qi Ning and Yuan Rong to the private room on the second floor.

After taking a seat, Qi Ning looked around before he smiled and said, "Yuan Rong, how is that Jiang Gongzi doing recently?" ”

"Grand Master Jiang?" Yuan Rong was stunned, "Which prince Jiang?" ”

"The East China Sea River follows the clouds." Qi Ning said: "Didn't Jiang Suiyun enter the Ministry of Rites and become a director?" Your old lady is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Jiang Suiyun is at the feet of your old lady, how much do you know about him? ”

Yuan Rong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Master Hou, you know my temperament, I have never been interested in asking about the affairs in the official yamen. However, this Jiang Suiyun, I heard that the host and guest assigned to the Ministry of Rites, the host and guest is one of the four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the guest ceremony and the reception of foreign guests, we have no contact with the Northern Han Dynasty over the years, and there is little contact with the Eastern Qi State, the host and guest department is actually a decoration, and the officials inside are idle. ”

"So, this Jiang is just an idle errand?" Qi Ning asked with a smile.

Yuan Rong said with a smile: "It's not idle, this person is from the Donghai Jiang family, some are silver, as far as I know, now he is in the Ministry of Rites and gets along very well with officials of all sizes, hehe, there is silver and everything is easy to do, he is in the Ministry of Rites for a while, but also figured out everyone's preferences, and made a bold move, it is the old lady of my family, and also said that this person is polite, with a letter and ink, Hou Ye, this person has the support of King Huainan behind him, according to this, it will not take a few years, I am afraid that I will really get the reuse of the imperial court." He straightened his clothes and said curiously: "Why is Master Hou interested in this person?" ”

Qi Ning smiled: "After all, he is the son of the richest man in the East China Sea, I just want to know if this businessman is an official, whether there are two times." ”

Yan Lingxian knew the inside story from Yan Lingxian's mouth that day, Yan Lingxian and Jiang Suiyun are the same, they are taught martial arts by the same person, Jiang Suiyun is the richest man in the East China Sea, it can be said that he is a hundred responses, although he is now an official in the court, but it is an idle position with no real power, but this person gave up the life of a rich son in the East China Sea and was willing to stay in the capital, which is naturally very strange.

At this time, the shopkeeper pushed open the door and came in from outside to deliver tea, Qi Ning glanced at it, and suddenly found that the shopkeeper came in a moment, and two figures walked behind him, a man and a woman, very familiar, Qi Ning frowned slightly, suddenly thought of something, got up, and said to Yuan Rong: "You guys drink tea here, I'll go out for convenience." When he went out, he turned his head to look into the corridor, only to see two figures walking in front of him and one behind him walking into the front wing.

The man was dressed in a blue brocade robe, wearing a crown hat, looking about fifty years old, followed by a woman, plump, wearing a light blue water-sleeved skirt, and a plain silk belt around the waist, it seemed that the waist was soft, the brocade skirt stretched the buttocks, round and plump, with the waist swinging, the plump buttocks swayed like flower branches, curling Nana, just looking at the back, Qi Ning recognized at a glance that it was Mrs. Tian, the head of the Tian family medicine store.

At this time, the guy who led the way in front had already opened the door, and the man in Tsing Yi was the first to enter, Mrs. Tian looked left and right, looking a little nervous, but she didn't see Qi Ning, and followed the man into the door.

Qi Ning was puzzled, thinking that although Mrs. Tian was the owner of the Tian family's medicine store, she was a woman after all, if there was something, she would naturally send someone out to do it, but why did she come to such a place in person to show up? Who is the man in Tsing Yi, and why is Mrs. Tian so restrained and nervous?

Qi Ning was curious, but at this time, he saw that the guy in the house had already gone out, and he closed the door of the house, and then he came over here, Qi Ning walked over, raised his hand to stop the guy, pointed to the room, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that man?" ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This guest officer, that is a guest of the restaurant, and the villain doesn't know him, and the guest officer asked him what he was doing?" Want to help you ask? He spoke as if he was smiling, yin and yang weird, Qi Ning was not as knowledgeable as him, waved his hand, the guy walked over with a smile, walked a few steps, looked back at Qi Ning, and saw him staring at the room, showing a strange smile, and whispered to himself: "Who is that man?" Hehe, I think you want to know who that woman is, with big breasts and round buttocks, and she is a man who cares about her. ”
