Chapter 550: Seeing the Old Man at the White Horse Inn (First Update)
Shen Xi asked about the situation, and knew that there were now thousands of brothers in the Carriage and Horse Gang in Fuzhou City, although most of them were just coolies who worked for the Chamber of Commerce, but if everyone was mobilized, it would also be a force to be reckoned with in Fuzhou City.
“…… In these days when the adults are away, the woman surnamed Zi often comes to stir up trouble, and our wharves and cargo ships by the river are often disturbed by people, and the villain has to tremble and work hard to maintain, and many brothers have been damaged, and they are really incompetent......"
Ma Jiu said this with a lot of helplessness in his tone, he was different from Song Xiaocheng's background, Song Xiaocheng was born as a casual worker, and Ma Jiu followed the people of the Tingzhou Mansion Dry Road Gang and then climbed all the way, in terms of personality, Ma Jiu is more tenacious than Song Xiaocheng.
Shen Xi listened to Ma Jiu's meaning, and now the situation in Fuzhou City is still tense, all parties are fighting, and the brothers of the Chema Gang are all waiting for it.
"How many people can Brother Nine recruit to go south with me?" Shen Xi asked.
Ma Jiu patted his chest and said: "How many people do adults want, just tell the villain, the villain will also give you the old man to get together, and never delay the adult to do things for the court." ”
Hearing this, Shen Xi was somewhat moved.
It is rare for Ma Jiu to maintain a normal heart, originally leaving Ma Jiu to be the helmsman in Fuzhou was to let him rule the party to eat and drink spicy, but now it seems that Ma Jiu has to worry about fighting and killing all day long. No matter how Zi Qian said, she also has a government background, and the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization, and the hardships can be imagined.
Shen Xi comforted Ma Jiu and asked him to go back and prepare twenty manpower.
Originally, Shen Xi wanted to transfer a little more people, but in order to prevent Zi Qian from taking advantage of the situation, he could only allocate manpower under the principle of not hurting his muscles and bones, and after arriving in Quanzhou, someone could just obey the order and run errands.
After settling down the group, Shen Xi saw Yu Niang, and he wanted to talk to Yu Niang about this problem of Zi Qian's misdeeds in the local area.
You Liu Daxia eradicated a Song Xi'er, but indirectly cultivated Zi Qian, and now Zi Qian's officials and businessmen are still doing illegal things, don't care?
Shen Xi Judging from Yu Niang's face, she really didn't want to care.
In fact, the reason is very easy to explain, Liu Daxia sent Yu Niang to solve Song Xi'er's problem, not because Liu Daxia was determined to eradicate the local evil forces, but because he wanted to track down the whereabouts of the stolen grain from the treasury.
In Liu Daxia's view, these forces are indispensable in the locality, as long as it does not affect the stability of the political situation, who is the boss is not the same? Now Zi Qian's evil deeds are true, but what if Zi Qian is punished? It is not a thankless task for a new force to fill the vacancy left by Zi Qian.
Yu Niang just does things according to orders, she is not qualified to make her own decisions.
"Lord Shen, it's not that the slave family refuses to help, it's really powerless. The slave family must obey Liu Shangshu's dispatch...... From the perspective of the slave family, I really hope that the imperial court can punish Zi Qian. ”
Yu Niang had some holidays with Zi Qian, after she arrived in Fuzhou, she didn't even dare to show up in public, if Zi Qian knew that she was back, she didn't have to retaliate against her.
Shen Xi thought to himself that Yu Niang and Zi Qian used to work for the same factory guard, but later they had different experiences.
Yu Niang is good to get rid of her music, and she came to Beijing with Liu Daxia, which seems to have a bright future, but in fact she is a character who obeys the orders of others, although Zi Qian is a lowly person, but in Fuzhou, a place where the emperor is far away, she raises a group of people to work hard for her, and is not subject to jurisdiction, and gradually has a tendency to become the emperor of the soil.
Who is better off than whom, you really can't make a conclusion at the moment.
Shen Xi nodded: "Okay, the emperor is important, and Zi Qian's matter will be put aside for the time being." ”
Yu Niang's refusal to help does not mean that Shen Xi will not do things, in the past, when he was powerless, he dared to fight Song Xi'er head-on, but now he is a lecturer in the East Palace, and he is the emperor of Qin's order, and there is no need to be afraid of Zi Qian. What's more, today's Zi Qian is far from being the same as Song Xi'er back then.
However, before the retaliation, Shen Xi had to plan in detail, and this time he only stayed in Fuzhou City for one day, so he could only postpone the implementation of the retaliation plan.
When he arrived in Fuzhou City, Shen Xi felt that he had to visit his "hometown" no matter what...... When he went to Fuzhou to take the township test, he lived in the White Horse Riverside Inn, at that time he promised, if he won the lift, he would give the Yin shopkeeper an inscription, but after the exam, he left without waiting for the list, and in a flash of a year and a half, he not only won the lift, but also successively won the Yuan, Hui Yuan and the champion, he came this time to fulfill the original promise.
When Shen Xi took Song Xiaocheng to the inn, the appearance around him did not change much, the shopkeeper Yin in front of the counter was a little older, and looked at Shen Xi and Song Xiaocheng who entered the inn lobby, because Shen Xi was growing rapidly as a teenager, but he was dizzy and didn't recognize Shen Xi for a while:
"Are the two guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel? There are a lot of rooms in the small shop, and the light is good, so it is not expensive for a day...... Forty yuan, if you live in the place of business, only twenty yuan. ”
Shen Xi smiled: "Shopkeeper Yin, don't you remember me?" ”
"You are?"
Shopkeeper Yin looked at Shen Xi carefully for a long time, and then suddenly realized, "Yes...... Shen Gongzi? ”
Shen Xi smiled and nodded, and the shopkeeper Yin showed a look of surprise on his face, and said happily: "It's really Shen Gongzi, haven't you already won the champion and become a big official in the capital?" How...... How did it get here...... Come on, Shen Gongzi...... Lord Shen is here! ”
Shopkeeper Yin greeted him, and the guys who were familiar with Shen Xi in the store immediately came out to greet him, and he was not attentive in serving tea and water, which made Shen Xi a little embarrassed.
Shen Xi sat down and explained: "I'm sorry for you to give Shopkeeper Yin, I will go back to my hometown and province this time, and at the same time I have errands to do, so I will come over to Fuzhou to have a look." ”
Shopkeeper Yin was overjoyed and sighed: "You come, it's not troublesome, it's us who trouble you...... I really didn't expect to see Lord Shen again, Caomin heard that you are the top student in high school, and my old wife ...... I was so happy that I hadn't slept for a few days. ”
Listening to Shopkeeper Yin talk about Mrs. Yin, Shen Xi naturally thought of Yin Wen, the little girl who fanned him when he was rushing for the exam and sat quietly next to him to study.
If you want to say that the name Yin Wen was given by him, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if Xiao Nizi is okay now?
But Shopkeeper Yin didn't mention it, so Shen Xi was naturally inconvenient to ask.
"Lord Shen, since you have arrived in Fuzhou, you might as well come and live, the small shop...... It is good to be able to receive a big official like you, and not to do business with other guests, as long as you are happy to stay. Shopkeeper Yin was so happy that he was at a loss, and he wanted to entertain Shen Xi well, but he was not afraid of improper methods.
Shen Xi said with a smile: "I passed through Fuzhou this time, I don't want to cause trouble to the shopkeeper Yin, the entourage and others have settled in the official station, and I live in the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." Shopkeeper Yin can just do his own business, there was something that was not fulfilled at the beginning, and today he came here to fulfill the contract......"
Shen Xi said this, but the shopkeeper Yin hadn't reacted yet, and when Shen Xi mentioned "inscription for your store", the shopkeeper Yin had surprise on his face, "Lord Shen still remembers?" Good...... Okay, I'm afraid that Lord Shen won't have time to come, and he won't come back to Fuzhou in the future......"
The old man was not young, and he couldn't help but cry with joy when he heard this.
Because of Shen Xi's arrival, the small inn suddenly became lively.
After the Spring Festival, it was the bleakest time of the year, there were not many guests in the inn, I heard that Fujian Township tried to solve the Yuan, and then even Zhongsanyuan is now a big official in the imperial court Shen Xi arrived, whether it was a guest, or a neighbor, or a passing peddler pawn, all came to see the style of the Ming Dynasty.
Shen Xi didn't expect that what was originally a low-key thing would become so public, but he didn't feel any discomfort, and when he picked up the pen, he was about to splash ink, and the black pressure around the desk was full of people.
Shen Xi asked, "Shopkeeper Yin, what is the good inscription?" ”
Shopkeeper Yin was stunned and said blankly: "Adults only care about the topic, as long as it is an adult's inscription, it's okay!" ”
Shen Xi nodded.
This small inn is an inconspicuous shop by the White Horse River, Shen Xi felt that he also had a bit of fate with the White Horse River, so he inscribed the words "White Horse Inn", because his pen is strong and the calligraphy is exquisite, and after writing, the applause continues to be in his ears, but he doesn't know how many people are blind and coaxing.
But it was the shopkeeper Yin, looking at the written words, he didn't even dare to reach over and touch it, for fear of staining the paper.
Seeing the excited appearance of the shopkeeper Yin, the onlookers talked a lot.
"The shopkeeper of this inn is kind to people, and even the beggars in the past will give a bowl of rice, and their kindness will be rewarded."
"I don't know what kind of **** luck he went, he actually received a champion, if he knew that this was the future champion, even if I cleared out my store for him to live, I would be willing."
"What are you doing with the rice seller, the champion lives here, have you eaten your rice? If you have the ability, let the champion give you an inscription. ”
There are those who are envious, jealous and hateful, and there are those who are happy for the shopkeeper Yin.
Shopkeeper Yin is a well-known good man in the neighborhood, such a good person who usually does not fight with others, and now he is rewarded, in the eyes of many people, it is a good cause and good result.
Seeing that there were a lot of people coming, Shopkeeper Yin said happily: "Everyone, Shen Zhuangyuan is here today, the old man will set up a banquet to entertain, and you will go to the lobby to eat wine and food by yourself." ”
"Let the shopkeeper Yin break the bank, where is the embarrassment?" A bunch of people talked, but happily entered the table in the lobby and sat down, waiting for the wine and food to be served, and they all wanted to eat enough.
Shopkeeper Yin asked the guy to put away the words inscribed by Shen Xi, and turned around to have them framed and engraved plaques.
Shopkeeper Yin rubbed his hands and said, "Lord Shen, it's rare for you to come from afar, just eat a glass of water here." The grass people have asked someone to go back to inform my old woman, and she said that there is only one thought in this life, that is, to be able to see Lord Shen again......"
Shen Xi nodded, went upstairs to the room where he used to live, opened the window and looked at the White Horse River in front of him, trying to find the mentality when he was here to take the exam.
At that time, his mentality was undoubtedly difficult and confused, and the dim scientific field made him waver for the first time in choosing the path of the imperial examination, and he did not know whether to continue to go on without hesitation, or change his course, cultivate his own power in business, and realize his ambition of becoming famous in the world in another way.
was thinking about his thoughts, but saw the backyard door open, Mrs. Yin just pushed the door open, a small figure jumped in, and when she looked up and saw Shen Xi, her little face was full of happy smiles.
It is the little girl Yin Wen who is easy to satisfy and innocent.
"Uh-huh......"
Yin Wen turned around and pulled Mrs. Yin's sleeve, and happily pointed to Shen Xi at the upstairs window.
When he entered the room, Yin Wen was shy, hiding behind Mrs. Yin and refusing to come out.
After the ceremony, Mrs. Yin smiled and said, "I can see Lord Shen again, I have no regrets in my old life, and Xiaoya has been in the past two years...... As soon as she arrived at the inn, she would look up, but she didn't know what she was looking at, but now the old body finally understood that she was waiting for Lord Shen. ”
"This girl, since Lord Shen left, she has not been able to give up, if the adult does not dislike it, keep her by her side and let her serve you, and our old couple will be at ease."
