"Fisherman......"

Nowadays, on the wharf, the limelight of the fisherman overshadows the big coffee owners who own merchant ships.

Walking with a tiger, full of energy, with a comfortable smile on his fat head and big ears, the fisherman never thought that he would change from a dock gangster to a kind-hearted person in everyone's mouth. Without too much elaboration, just one sentence can make a person look new, and Su Duchen successfully washed his past.

On a fishing boat, in the cabin.

The big fisherman of the boat, the second Ni Er, and the third old man of the boat, stood in a row with serious expressions ready to listen to the training.

Su Duchen gave them the feeling that he was decisive in killing, and his majesty was both gracious and powerful, and his actions were clear. From their initial fear to their current sincerity, they are determined to swear allegiance to the death, hold on to the big tree and say nothing will let go.

Su Duchen, who was sitting at the top, glanced at them, smiled lightly and said lightly: "Don't think that if your reputation is good, you can repeat the old tricks." Let me know that if you pick up the old work again, I can clean you up from 108,000 miles away. ”

The servants laughed wryly, and said in unison: "Impossible, no, no, don't worry!" ”

Su Duchen continued: "Cuizhuzhuang is all female dependents, you can go over and have a look when you have time, and help if you have any work." In addition, I found a few older sisters-in-law to help take care of their daily life. ”

"Don't worry, my mother-in-law has already brought someone over, and she will definitely take care of your little girls." The fisherman patted his chest and said, and after speaking, he raised his eyebrows with a smile, indicating that he was quite discerning.

With a snap, the teacup exploded at the fisherman's feet and shattered to the ground.

Chen Yong, who was standing beside Su Duchen, peeked at Su Duchen, and immediately looked straight ahead again, but his heart turned a thousand times. His son-in-law can not change his face in the face of Miss Wan's stunning beauty, and he has few desires, why is it that he has not seen him for a few days...... Oh - it turns out that Childe likes little girls.

Su Duchen's face was not good, and he said coldly: "What do you call my little girl!" When these words get out, how will they marry in the future! ”

I can't explain it! Su Duchen's original intention was nothing more than to let them have a place to live. The family made them feel cold and sent them back, but they were either sold again or allowed to be a casual family. He worked hard to get people out and was pushed into the fire pit in a blink of an eye, and that's not how the account is calculated.

Su Duchen said to Fu Lengshuang that Cuizhuzhuang is like a girls' school, learning some skills, not only can protect yourself, but also will not be underestimated when you marry in the future. If they feel homesick in the future, they can leave at any time. How simple things are, how many times has he said it, he can't understand people's words!

Su Duchen glared at them, decided to change the topic, put a stack of silver tickets on the table, and said: "How to establish a good relationship with businessmen on both sides of the strait, how to expand the fleet, you know the doorway of water business better than me, I won't say much, I just look at the results." Zhao Cheng and Zhou Qi This line is in your hands, as long as the Xi clan and Beiqi have ships into this area, I will stare at them to death, if necessary, I don't mind you using some extraordinary means. If they have important news that you can't do, send it to me. ”

The servants listened very carefully, and they were very excited in their hearts, and they were finally going to do something big! The servants rubbed their fists and secretly made up their minds that they were going to do a big job. This time, it's finally ...... Tears welled up in the fisherman's eyes, and his excitement was beyond words. With stars in his eyes, he looked at Su Duchen with admiration, and secretly praised in his heart: How could he be so outstanding in the first place......

……………………

Fu'an Inn.

"Brother-don't go, where are you going! Let's go together, let's go to the capital together, I can still take you to play. Tang Yunwen frowned and tried his best to hold back.

Su Duchen ignored him, this guy had been chattering in his ear for a long time.

Tang Yunwen pulled his face, and wanted to say a few more words, but the cuffs were tugged, and his little servant Liu'an opened his mouth: "Young master, let's go too, the master has urged him several times." "Poor Lu'an, who was left halfway by Tang Yunwen, searched for more than half a month before finding his young master.

"Shut up!" Tang Yunwen shook his face and got angry, what is there to do when he returns to Beijing, and he is more exciting to follow his brother.

Su Duchen sighed lightly, don't want to stop if you don't make it clear to him: "I still have something to do, and I won't go to the capital for the time being." You go back to Beijing first, and I'll look for you when I'm done. ”

"Really?" Tang Yunwen frowned, and said suspiciously.

Su Duchen nodded and said, "Really, definitely go." ”

Two days later.

Su Duchen and Chen Yong arrived in Jiao County, not far from Xuzhou.

Chen Yong went to Su's hometown of Luoping County to inquire about the news. Su's original surname is Fang, and Su has a younger brother named Fang Zhong. Chen Yong heard that Fang Zhong had moved out of Luoping County a few years ago, and no one knew where he had moved.

Fang Zhong's line was broken, and Chen Yong overheard another news, that is, the person who Gongzi told him to pay attention to: Li Xuehe, it turned out that the other person was in Jiao County.

Chen Yong pointed to a house and said, "Son, Li Xuehe is teaching in it." Before going to Xuzhou, he came to Jiaoxian for more than a month, rented a small courtyard to live in, and there was no family or follow. ”

Su Duchen bit his fingers and pondered, he didn't bring his family or people, he was alone outside, and he actually went to teach! Why? Even if he was dismissed, it was impossible for an official to be as depressed as him.

"Where's the yard he rented?" Su Duchen said.

Chen Yong said: "It's not far from here. ”

"Let's go, go and wait for him there." Since there are so many questions, then ask him directly.

The courtyard rented by Li Xuehe was very small, Su Duchen stretched out his hand and gently pushed, and the courtyard door opened in response. There are three small rooms, one of which is also a kitchen, and the other room has a few books and a few clothes on the bed in addition to a bed and a desk.

Su Duchen turned around, and said in his heart: No wonder the courtyard door is not even locked, even if the thief comes to the door, he thinks this courtyard is cold.

Su Duchen and Chen Yong sat on the small patio in the courtyard and waited for him to come back.

Half an hour later, the courtyard door was pushed open again, well, the master returned.

When Li Xuehe walked into the courtyard, he saw a handsome, well-dressed nobleman, and an entourage standing behind him. With a calm expression and no questions, as if he was not surprised at all, Li Xuehe walked straight into the house.

The corners of Su Duchen's mouth rose, and he didn't say hello, and said to Chen Yong sideways: "You go buy some wine and food." ”

After a while, Chen Yong bought his things back, set up the wine glass, put the meat and vegetables, and Chen Yong stepped aside.

When Su Duchen poured wine into the wine glass, Li Xuehe also slowly came out of the house and sat opposite Su Duchen.

"Mr. Li, have a drink." Su Duchen picked up a glass of wine and said.

"Who are you?" Li Xuehe's tone was steady and said.

The Li Xuehe in front of him was similar to what Su Duchen thought, in his fifties, with gray temples, although his face was dull, his eyes were bright, his body was thin, and he looked like he had experienced vicissitudes.

Su Duchen smiled lightly: "Su Shiyuan's grandson, his surname is Su, and his name is Duchen. "Just order it directly.

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Xuehe's eyes, and then, he said firmly: "Impossible!" Su Shiyuan did not leave any heirs, to be precise, no one in Su Shiyuan's vein was alive. Who are you! ”

Su Duchen shook his head and sneered: "Why didn't the Su family leave an heir?" What did you do twenty years ago! ”

Li Xuehe said: "If you are a side branch of the Su family, you should know what happened twenty years ago. ”

Su Duchen said: "Su Shiyuan's wife, she hasn't died for 20 years, she escaped interception, and has lived in Changping County, Huaizhou for the past few years. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Xuehe, who was surprised, and continued: "A year ago, I recognized Su as my grandmother, so Su Shiyuan is my grandfather. ”

Li Xuehe said incredulously: "Fang Xiniang is not dead!" She's ...... now. Luckily? ”

Su Duchen said: "I want to know what happened 20 years ago, I want to know, Mr. Li played a role in this case. ”

Li Xuehe lowered his eyes, sighed, took a sip of wine from his cup, and said slowly: "It's nothing to tell you now." Brother Su was in charge of the open accounts of the household department, while I was in charge of the dark accounts of the household department, to put it bluntly, he was a dog. Li Xuehe paused when he said this, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "What did you say at the beginning, 500,000 taels, hum - how can it be so little!" It's three million taels of silver! I'm a person who is in charge of their secret accounts, like a doll in their hands. A few days before the incident, they gave me 50,000 taels of silver and said that they were treating me, and I didn't dare not accept it. The next day, I was sent to work as an overseer at the mouth of the river embankment, and I came back to find out that ......"

Su Duchen frowned and said, "The difference in numbers is so big!" Why is it only 500,000 taels that have been reported? ”

Li Xuehe took another sip of his wine glass and said, "During that time, it rained in the capital for a month, the river embankment broke, and several counties below were affected. The imperial court issued an order to allocate 700,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, but how could there be so much silver on the face of the household. Hmph - Lord Hubu asked Su Shiyuan to allocate the only 200,000 taels left in the account, he meant that the silver was completely sufficient. Unexpectedly, it was because of these 500,000 taels of bad things that they were in a hurry, someone had to come out to confess, and they had to be fast, otherwise if the case was dug deeper, there would be more than that. Su Shiyuan is too honest, he is in charge of the accounts of the household department, and he doesn't look for anyone behind his back. As for the one surnamed Zuo, he deserves it! ”

The more Li Xuehe spoke, the more sad he became, and he picked up the wine jug and poured it: "Ahem...... I came back from the river embankment, Su Shiyuan was already in prison, there was nothing I could do, I couldn't help him...... I've been their dog for 10 years! I quit my job a few years ago. A few years ago, they were still guarding against me, and they were relieved to see that I was living like a beggar and doing nothing. ”

Su Duchen said: "People in your family, have you been walking around alone all these years?" You weren't surprised at all when you first saw me? ”

Li Xuehe sneered and said, "The family has returned to their hometown, and they ...... I'm fine to be alone. I'm teaching here, and I'm teaching a businessman's portal, and I just thought you were the son of a family that asked me to come to teach, what's so strange. After Li Xuehe finished speaking, he glanced at Su Duchen, as if to say: You are really suspicious.

Su Duchen said lightly: "What do you know about the interception and killing on the way to exile twenty years ago. ”

Li Xuehe frowned and said: "It's just that I haven't been able to figure it out, it's unreasonable, they will never do this." I remember that they were shocked when they heard the news, and they were absolutely not fake, and the people who sent them said that there were no bones. Later, I heard that there were mountain bandits and wolves in that area. ”

Su Duchen sneered, is it a mountain bandit again? And more wolves!

Li Xuehe said slowly: "If you want to investigate the case from 20 years ago, I advise you not to waste your efforts. The first is that too much time has passed, and the second is that many people and things have changed, and it is too difficult to check. They have made deliberate arrangements for this, and there is no way to leave evidence. And then there is Su Shiyuan's temperament, alas! He also has to take some responsibility himself, it is too cowardly. ”

Su Duchen got up and said coldly: "Let's not mention the case from twenty years ago, but someone must pay back Su's death!" ”

"What did you say!" Li Xuehe stood up violently and exclaimed, "When!" How did he die? ”

Su Duchen said in a deep voice: "A few months ago, Grandma was stabbed to death at home. ”

Li Xuehe was silent, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Could it be ......him?"

Su Duchen said sharply: "Who! Who is he! ”

Li Xuehe stared and said, "Su's younger brother, Fang Zhong." Two months ago, I went to Huaizhou, originally to live in Huaizhou, but later changed my mind. I saw Fang Zhong when I was leaving, and then I rushed to the boat, so I didn't pay too much attention, could it be him......"

Su Duchen said, "Why Fang Zhong." ”

Li Xuehe said disdainfully: "Fang Zhong is a person who does not learn and has no skills, and he has a very bad relationship with the Su family, which is something that the capital knows. Such a big thing happened to the Su family, this person was actually indifferent, Fang Zhong was a bastard! ”

Su Duchen said coldly: "He appeared in Huaizhou......"

Li Xuehe said: "I'm definitely not mistaken, Changping County is a county under the jurisdiction of Huaizhou, so my first suspicion is him." This man is worse than I was back then! When it was over, Li Xuehe did not forget to laugh at himself.
