Chapter 131 The Master's Affection-5
"It's really -" Qiu Darui said in a deep voice with a gloomy face, "Hongmen Banquet!" ”
"Sure enough, it's a Hongmen banquet." The shopkeeper Lu looked incredulous, "Chen Gong is so bold, he is not afraid of the water army?" ”
"These scholars started as a rebel, and they are really bold enough!" Qiu Darui sneered, "It's not far behind us!" ”
"Boss," Shopkeeper Lu asked cautiously, "...... next?" ”
"The show begins," Qiu Darui took a sip of light tea and said with a smile, "Let's see how they end." ”
Normal business almost can't arouse Qiu Darui's interest, he can only see a big deal that doubles the profit and profits, doubles and doubles.
He can risk being arrested by the Xia State Military Intelligence Department, brazenly assassinate the scholars of the Dongren Society in Zheng Xintang, he can follow the Hu people's horse team for a long journey, he can raise grain and grass for the Liao army to go south, and he can take over the business of eating and selling stolen goods. He has always been on the verge of danger and opportunity, and although failure has paid a heavy price, even if it is impossible to recover, he has never tired of success.
This time, knowing that the Guangzhou government was going to make a move on Zhao Xingde, Qiu Darui took his henchman to stay in a nearby inn in advance. The inn has a view of the pier to the south, and the east side is less than a hundred steps from the Gongle Building. Qiu Darui himself is the innkeeper, after the big food pirates harassed the coast, the Guangzhou government adhered to the prime minister's decree and banned the big food and other barbarian merchants, and the price of the shops and warehouses in Fanfang plummeted, Qiu Darui only spent about half of the normal price, and bought more than a dozen shops, including this large inn with a unique location. If you wait for idle businessmen to hoard and buy these many shops in Guangzhou, you can't wait for the South China Sea sailors to get rid of the Haikou as soon as possible, and the sea route is unblocked, and the price of this shop will naturally rise, but Qiu Darui can't look down on these at all. What he wants is control of the entire South China Sea sea route.
"These people and scholars shout about righteousness every day, but when they come to the end, they forget it one by one." Qiu Darui said disdainfully, "Chen Gongju wanted to repeat Cao Liangshi's victory in Bianliang, but I was afraid that it would be in vain, but instead he lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot." He leaned his back back and half lay on the recliner comfortably, "At the beginning, Cao Liangshi Bianliang won the command, Zhao Xingde was restrained, and he immediately grasped the situation, relying on Chen Dong's support behind him, who is Chen Dong?" That is the Great Song Dynasty! As long as Zhao Xingde is detained, the left-behind division in Tokyo will either rebel or bow down to obey orders. But now, Chen Dong has stepped down, Deng Suzheng on the stage is not on good terms with these people in Guangzhou, and there are people from the Ministry of War in the Navy Division, as well as the sand mixed by Xia Guo, and those who are interested in the society are just hairy boys. As soon as Zhao Xingde was detained, although the sailor said that the group of dragons had no leader, there was no possibility of falling to Guangzhou. ”
"The owner is takami." The shopkeeper Lu flattered, "Chen Gongju these people are simply clowns jumping off the beam." ”
Qiu Darui snorted slightly, and immediately called the surnamed Lu a chilling cicada. Such an obvious sycophant, if in the past, Qiu Darui would definitely think that this shopkeeper was useless, but recently, his business path has become wider and wider, and the shopkeepers below have tried their best to welcome him in awe, so Qiu Darui has gradually become accustomed to it, but he still has this vigilance in his heart. In all fairness, he doesn't think that Chen Dong and Chen Gongju are more intelligent than him. His eyes fell on the desk, and before he could speak, the shopkeeper Lu had already taken out the transparent gold thread glass cup refined by Xia Guo, poured a full glass of grape wine, and respectfully brought it to the owner.
Qiu Darui picked up the wine glass with satisfaction, and did not drink it immediately, but let the sunlight shine through the crystal clear wine glass, so that the entire shops in the south of Guangzhou were dyed with a layer of charming red. The storehouses here are stockpiled with the most silk and tea in the Great Song Dynasty, full of rhino horn, ivory, pearls, spices and all kinds of curiosities, but there are no city walls to protect it. Looking through the rosy syrup, I saw a red sun rising like blood. Under the red sun, Nan Yan seems to be a virgin without an inch, which is mouth-watering.
"The south of Guangzhou is the most suitable place in the world for looting." Qiu Darui muttered.
His eyes were a little confused, and he raised his hand to drink the rose-colored Guangzhou Nanyan, and closed his eyes in the sun.
"Portuguese-Yi Zhumei--Wine Luminous Cup--Ah, Desire-Yi Drink, Pipa-Immediately Urge-Ah," the young lady next door was tactful, and was humming in a whisper: "Drunk-Lying Sand-Field-Jun-Mo Laugh, Gu Hao-Come to Fight-A few people are back." The wine entrance, people were slightly drunk, Qiu Daguan was in a good mood, his fingers knocked on the sign, and thought: "I don't know which guy wrote the sour song, when the things here are done, call him over and write a few funny songs." It has to be as domineering as 'a house full of flowers and drunk with 3,000 guests, and a sword light and cold fourteen states'. ”
The sun shone on his face, blurry light and shadow changed, and the scars left by the wind and frost were like centipedes, which looked particularly hideous.
The origin of these scars, the sister in the Guangzhou wine shop secretly discussed, this Qiu official is not a deserter, made a windfall in the war, and deliberately used a knife to scratch the tattoos on his face. Only these henchmen around Qiu Darui know that Qiu Daguan is far more powerful than deserters, even if it is an invincible eater, it is just a chess piece on his big chessboard. In addition to the Great Eater Haikou, Qiu Darui also contacted more than a dozen Haikou of the Song Kingdom, and his own trading house also bought more than a dozen large sea ships, with thousands of people on board, who were usually domesticated according to the rules of the sailor, and waited for the future after this group of people and horses could be used, maybe he would kick away the big cannibal and become the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
The owner closed his eyes, but the shopkeeper Lu didn't dare to slack off, he understood that the reason why the owner was lying on the bench basking in the sun was because he valued himself. Therefore, he cheered up and stared at the movement on the pier and the Gongle Building, only to see the state army and the regimental training drive out of the city of Guangzhou, not only surrounded the three floors of the Gongle Building, but also a large group of soldiers and horses climbed the tower.
Shopkeeper Lu used the Western Regions clairvoyant mirror to look at the city, and could clearly see the nervous expression of the barrel gunner.
In order to prevent rainwater from pouring in, the iron cannons at the head of the city are usually plugged with corks, but at this moment they are all pulled out, and the muzzles of the black holes are facing the open sea of the dock, which is where the naval division of the South China Sea is stationed. The fire bolt was faintly visible at the entrance of the city wall, and the officers shouted loudly, and the soldiers carried the stone, rolling wood, lime cans and other things to the city wall, as if they were facing a great enemy.
These are all expected, Lu shopkeeper turned the clairvoyant mirror to the direction of the open sea, only to see the flag of the sailor war ship moving chaotically, the officers and soldiers of the sailor on the dock Zhao Xingde's boat shouted loudly, and the side of the ship in the direction of Gonglelou was crowded with people, some people looked angry, and many people still had that unbelievable expression, at this moment, no one stood up to maintain some order, it can be seen that Zhao Xingde was detained by the Guangzhou government and immediately called the South China Sea sailors to be in chaos.
For Qiu Darui, the best outcome is that the South China Sea Navy Division was dragged here and the Guangzhou Fuzhou Army did not give in to each other, and the two sides kept each other in check. On a dark and windy night, the big eater Haikou and the "buddies at sea" suddenly came out of the sea and set fire to the wind, which will definitely be able to solve all the officers and soldiers with one fire. When the time comes, go ashore and loot Guangzhou, don't say that the south outside the city, if the luck is a little better, I am afraid that the three cities of Guangzhou can also open one or two, so that you can make a lot of money, Guangzhou has been a sea since the Tang Dynasty, and the wealth in the city is piled up...... The second best result was that the Guangzhou government detained Zhao Xingde and did not let him go, and the Nanhai Navy Division and the Guangzhou Mansion broke up.
Qiu Daguan closed his eyes for a long time, and the shopkeeper Lu suddenly shouted: "It's not good, the sailor's people have come ashore!" ”
"Huh?" Qiu Darui suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. walked to the window, frowned and whispered, "Zhou He is so breathless? However, the dock was empty, and not even a single idler was to be seen. Zhao Xingde's ship remained at the berth of the Western Australian wharf, and the gun windows facing the shore had all been opened, while the other warships of the South China Sea Navy Division were still moored in the open sea.
Qiu Darui raised his eyebrows and shouted: "What about the people and horses that the sailor has come ashore? ”
"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper understood that he would be mistaken, and the two trembled, pointing not far from the dock, "there it is." ”
Qiu Darui followed his instructions and looked over, and saw several people slowly driving towards Gongle Building, one of them was wearing the military robe of a sailor, and several people next to him were from the Guangzhou Prefecture Army. "Emissary?" Qiu Darui stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you recognize who it is?" "The villain doesn't know." Shopkeeper Lu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed the clairvoyant mirror to Qiu Darui, and said, "There are only some good faces, I saw it about a few days ago." ”
Qiu Darui brought the clairvoyant mirror to his eyes, snorted and said, "This person's name is Feng Mi, I didn't expect that Zhou He sent him as a messenger." ”
As early as Yangzhou, Qiu Darui asked Dan Qing to draw the appearance of Zhao Xingde and the generals of the South China Sea Navy Division one by one, and let the shopkeeper Lu see it. The shopkeeper Lu didn't know Feng Mi, because his official rank was too low at that time, and he was not among these generals with graphics, and he said that he had a good face, because these days, the sailor often sent Feng Mi ashore to deal with the Guangzhou Mansion, but this shopkeeper Lu lacked a heart and didn't find out the identity of this post-descendant officer, and Qiu Darui deliberately inquired through the inside story of the sailor.
After Feng Mi entered the Gongle Building, the clairvoyant mirror turned to the direction of the dock.
Suddenly, Xu Zunyu's face entered a circular field of vision, and he was looking at the direction of Gongle Building with a worried face.
"The guy who eats inside and out," Qiu Darui scolded, "pretends to be quite similar." He pondered for a moment, handed the clairvoyant mirror to the shopkeeper Lu to hold, and commanded in a deep voice: "Find a way to send someone to the water master, take the token and connect with the person surnamed Xu, and ask the water master how the inside is going?" The Governor was detained by the Guangzhou Mansion, what did Zhou He, Liu Zhijian, and Du Fujiao do? ”
