Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang's carriage, drove into a courtyard at the head of Wuli Lane, on the high wall in the distance, a figure like a civet cat staring at everything left and right, a moment later, this figure flew on the wall and stepped on the courtyard wall, the ridge, turned around and threw himself into the depths of Lanting Lane.

Han Qian stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking at the dark blue night sky in distraction, until Zhao Wuji jumped off the wall like a tanuki and then turned around.

"This is the yard that Chun Thirteen Niang moved into." Zhao Wuji picked up a branch and sketched out the entrance and exit portal of the first house at the head of Wuli Alley for Han Qian to see.

"I see." Han Qian nodded and said.

"Do you want to arrange for someone to keep an eye on it?" Zhao Wuji asked.

"Staring around, where are there so many idlers?" Han Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, not letting Zhao Wuji make any other arrangements.

The courtyard where Chun Shisanniang lived was not only the first building in Wuli Lane, but also the new side courtyard gate, which meant that any carriages and horses on their side that entered Wuli Lane, Lanting Lane, and even Gushan Lane would be under the surveillance of the Evening Red Mansion, but if anyone went to see Chun Shisanniang, if they walked through the side courtyard gate, they could just avoid their eyes and ears in these three alleys.

The Evening Red Mansion also arranged lurking manpower in Xuzhou, and it was obvious that he was always on guard against the fact that he would one day get out of their control.

Han Qian doesn't have the energy for the time being, he wastes manpower and material resources in this regard, if they want to keep an eye on it, let them keep an eye on it, but it is not clear whether Li Zhihe or them, or the third prince and the concubine, it is not clear that the Late Red Mansion is outside of Dachu, and there are actually other options and layouts?

Han Qian waved his hand and ordered the other guards to withdraw, leaving only Zhao Wuji, Zhao Ting'er, and Xi Ying in the courtyard, and said: "There are some things that have not been told to you before, you may have always thought that Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang and others were secretly cultivated by the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, but in fact, Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang and others are hidden behind a more mysterious and powerful force, and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion can have today's power, and even the three princes can come to this point, it is really supported by this force behind it; And in addition to helping the three princes compete for succession, this force may have other options. At this time, I will only tell the three of you to know about this matter, and you must not leak half of it. ”

Zhao Wuji silently withdrew from the courtyard, and Zhao Ting'er went to bring washing water to Han Qian; On the one hand, Xi Ying hadn't figured out the intricate entanglements of interests in Jinling City, and on the other hand, he didn't know that Han Qian was going to tell her such a secret.

Although the Han family's mansion is not big, after she came over with Zhao Ting'er, Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang came to visit, she hadn't figured out the layout of the house, and at this time she was standing in the courtyard in a little confusion, not knowing what she should do, and not knowing where she should go to the house to rest at night.

"......" Han Qian looked at Xi Ying, smiled, and said, "Are you strange why I would tell you such a thing, and not worry that you will hold a grudge against your brother and pin your hopes for reviving the Xi clan on others?" You've made a rash move once, and you've almost lost the whole game, and I think you'll be more patient. And as long as you can endure it, and after you can see all this clearly, you will find that even if the Xi clan people have the opportunity to gather again, if they only think about opportunism and dependence on others, they can only be a chess piece in the hands of others that can be sacrificed at any time. It's like me, struggling, and just getting a little respite......"

Xi Ying still didn't understand Han Qian's words, her beautiful eyes were full of confusion, could this be considered a sufficient reason for her to know her secret?

"You will stay in the West Wing from now on, and you will choose two trustworthy servants to wait by your side tomorrow." Han Qian thought that he would be the master of this house in the future, but he still thought about his father's room, the three rooms where he and Zhao Ting'er sat on the east side were enough, and arranged for Xi Ying to live in the west wing opposite, so that anything could be easily greeted.

Xi Ying still bought a few sets of skirts after living in the Hibiscus Garden, and he didn't have any luggage, so he went back to the West Wing to clean up first, and Han Qian also returned to the house with a teacup, carefully sorting out the chaotic and complicated ideas.

Zhao Ting'er came in with toiletries, looked at Xi Ying's slender figure reflected on the window paper opposite through the window, and asked Han Qian: "Are you worried that Miss Yao and Thirteen Niang will win over the Xi family, so that she can also know such a confidential matter together?" ”

"You're really getting smarter and smarter," Han Qian looked at Zhao Ting'er's deep black eyes and said with a smile, "They have long paid attention to Xi Ying's origin, but they just didn't guess how I would use her." ”

…………

…………

After sitting on the boat for more than ten days, they all fell asleep in the shaking of the river, and when they returned to Jinling, they were still a little unaccustomed, and they didn't fall asleep until the moon rose in the middle of the sky, and when they heard Zhao Ting'er tossing and turning in the outhouse, Han Qian called her: "Can't you sleep too?" Come and talk to me for a while, right? ”

After a while, seeing Zhao Ting'er walk in with a skirt and a low stool to sit on the edge of the bed, Han Qian told her many complicated things, and hoped that Zhao Ting'er could help him peel off the cocoon to see if there were any loopholes.

Maybe it was the fragrant fragrance between Zhao Ting'er's sideburns that was refreshing, and she fell asleep quickly as she spoke, and then was woken up by Feng Yi's voice in her sleep.

Han Qian opened his eyes, Zhao Ting'er was lying on the edge of the bed and sleeping soundly, as if he heard the sound outside but was unwilling to wake up, his lush black hair was scattered and draped down, like a green spring in the dark night, and his little face became more and more delicate.

Han Qian couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her tender cheek, and when she kissed her, Zhao Ting'er opened her eyes and stared at Han Qian with dark eyes, as if Han Qian did anything out of the ordinary, she would be frightened and run away like a little beast.

"You've got here." Han Qian stretched out his hand and rubbed it towards the corner of Zhao Ting'er's eyes.

Zhao Ting'er stretched out her hand to cover her face, so that Han Qian would not see it, she got up and ran away.

Han Qian dressed and pushed the door out, and saw Feng Yi pulling Kong Xirong to sit in the courtyard refreshed, talking to Xi Ying in a frenzy.

Seeing Han Qian come out, Feng Yi shouted very dissatisfiedly: "You kid is really unauthentic, why didn't you think about bringing me and Xirong and a few flower-like Shanyue Yi girls back from Xuzhou, the taste must be different from the girl in the late Red Mansion, right?" ”

Seeing the murderous intent in Xi Ying's beautiful eyes, Han Qian was worried that Feng Yi would say anything more, and the two bowls of hot tea served on the tray in Xi Ying's hand were likely to "miss" and splash on him, so he hurriedly intercepted his troublesome words and said, "Didn't you and Xirong have enough fun in the late Red Mansion last night, and came to me early in the morning to chew the root of your tongue?" ”

"Didn't you tell us to come to you early in the morning? You came back all the way from Xuzhou, and the spring supper was not enough every night, why did you get up so late today? Feng Yi complained dissatisfiedly.

"What about Yang Qin and Feng Xuan, where did you go?" Han Qian asked.

"Feng Zhang, Gao Bao, they probably slept soundly in the evening red mansion with the girl in their arms, Yang Qin, Feng Xuan, they stayed back to the warehouse last night." Feng Yi said.

But it's not that Yang Qin and Feng Xuan's family no longer mess with flowers and grass outside if they have good wives, but they are more concerned about the safety of the fleet, and they still insist on coming back to the warehouse to rest after socializing at night.

And Feng Zhang, Gao Bao and a few of them, the fleet came out of Xuzhou, and occasionally docked in Jiangzhou and Chizhou, they all couldn't wait to go ashore to find a prostitute to enjoy themselves, but they were not the kind of people who made mistakes, so they were selected by the four surnames to lead the team.

And the vast majority of the shipwrecks and sailors and ordinary guards temporarily lived in the yard prepared for them by the warehouse, one hundred and fifty or sixty people crowded into more than a dozen rooms, the conditions were still very simple, and they would be given two or three days of vacation to relax until the goods were completely unloaded, and then they had to prepare for the next trip.

Han Qian said last night that Feng Yi and Kong Xirong came to him early this morning, in addition to escorting food and other materials out of the city to the cantonment military mansion to unload the goods, and by the way to meet Changshi Shen Yang and Shen Liang and others, the main thing was to think about the batch of goods unloaded to the warehouse, and they had to get rid of it in the fastest time.

And even if he can't get rid of it for the time being, Han Qian also hopes that Feng Yi and Kong Xirong can raise enough four million money to come out as soon as possible, so that he can settle the settlement with Feng Zhang and the others who represent the four surnames who escort the boat.

In this way, it is also the heart of An Fengzhang and others, and they can do it as soon as possible if they want to purchase any goods in Jinling and nearby prefectures and counties to transport back to Xuzhou.

The fleet has to support 11 ships and 1780 people, and naturally the more frequent the ships run and the faster the turnover speed, it is possible to earn more profits for Zuo Si and input more resources for Xuzhou.

However, when Han Qian mentioned this topic, Feng Yi was a little stuck, and said hesitantly: "The fleet only entered Jinling City yesterday, I will lead them to enjoy this world of flowers for a few days, and then talk about other ......."

The Feng family has hundreds of millions of dollars, and Feng Yi's personal expenses alone can't stop millions of dollars every year, so it stands to reason that asking him and Kong Xirong to raise four million dollars in advance is definitely not a difficult thing, and even they can make up this money by inviting a few sons and brothers.

Moreover, in order to connect everything, Han Qian didn't just talk about it today, and in the letter sent back to Jinling a month ago, he mentioned it to Feng Yi.

Could it be that after the matter of his father and son plotting for the three princes was completely exposed, and the contradictions between this side and the Anning Palace and the prince's family were sharp, Feng Yi was additionally admonished and restrained within the Feng family?

Han Qian's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter if this matter is not important, you and Xirong can't do it, I'll let Fan Dahei and them handle it." ”

"Who said I couldn't do it with Hee Young? But we didn't think much about it before, so wouldn't it be possible to delay it for two days? Feng Yi saw Han Qian's distrustful tone and said hurriedly.

"The place where the birds don't in Xuzhou, the folk customs are fierce, miasma is everywhere, few people in the Manchu Dynasty are willing to go there to serve, my father is going to go, this road is dangerous, you may not know, I am scared two trembling, almost fart and urine, every moment I can't wait to immediately turn my head back to Jinling to enjoy the golden cave, do not eat this wind and food, sleeping in the open and sleeping hard, but my father told me, everything in the old Han family, whether it is a field house, a family soldier, or even a lord's title, is my uncle's family, our room, If you don't fight, you may not even be qualified to drink soup,"

Han Qian narrowed his eyes, looked at Feng Yi, and asked,

"Your father may want to go one step further, hoping to enter the Privy Mansion one day, but what does it have to do with you? Not to mention that Li Chong is holding our handle in his hand, but if the crown prince ascends the throne one day, do you say that your Feng family will send you back to Xuanzhou to prove the innocence of the Feng family and His Royal Highness without interference? Of course, you are also your father's son-in-law, and you may still think that with your father's shadow, even if you are not rich and wealthy in this life, raising dogs and teasing birds, and squirming all your life, there is nothing wrong with it, right? ”

"Haha, how could I think that?" Feng Yi snorted and smiled reluctantly.

"Yang Qin, you also saw it yesterday," Han Qian tapped his finger on the stone table and said, "You must have heard of his name from the official letter submitted by Jiangzhou a long time ago. Yang Qin was not originally used by my father, but he failed to assassinate my father, and the people on the side of Anning Palace were worried that Yang Qin might be unfavorable to them, so Zhong Yanhu led his troops to destroy Yangtan Water Village. There are 761 people in Yangtan Water Village, except for more than 30 people who were not killed with Yang Qin, other men, women and children, not a single living mouth was left, and there were a few babies who were seven or eight years old, alive on the red tassel spear, and inserted in the shallow water in front of Yangtan Water Village. You must have heard that my father raised the state prison in the official letter submitted by Xuzhou, because many things cannot be solved, and you may not be able to imagine the danger at that time. It was the night when my father and son first arrived in Xuzhou, and the people sent by the Anning Palace persuaded the local heroes to kill my father and son, and secretly hid nearly 1,000 pieces of armor in the warehouse of the state prison, planning to wait for nearly 900 thugs in the state prison to smash open the prison door and get these armors, and kill Xuzhou City to the point of blood, killing the corpses of my father and son...... With just these two things, think about it carefully, with the broad-mindedness of the Anning Palace, after they really gain power, how likely is it that your Feng family will give you a rope to break in order to prove that it is not involved with His Highness's side? ”
