Chapter 376: Zhou Fatzi (Asking for Subscription)
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Jiang Liwei said with a smile: "As long as Shen Gongzi is willing to help, in terms of manpower, we will provide convenience......" Then, he slapped his face, and soon two brocade guards wearing embroidered spring knives came in the back hall, followed by several men whose eyes were blindfolded.
Shen Xi stood up immediately after seeing someone, isn't this Tang Hu and the others who were just sent away by him a few days ago? Shen Xi immediately protested angrily: "Lord Jiang, what does this mean? ”
"This operation still needs the help of some people with Hakka accents, and in this capital city, it is too difficult to find a few people who understand Hakka dialect in western Fujian and know how to do business, so I have to bother Shen Gongzi...... There are also a few noble families. ”
Jiang Liwei regained his official tone.
While speaking, the blindfolds of Tang Hu and the others over there were taken off, Tang Hu saw Shen Xi as if he was seeing a savior, and he just wanted to call someone, but when he saw that the faces of the people around him were not good, he hurriedly swallowed his words back and didn't dare to say anything.
Although there were no obvious wounds on his face and body, Shen Xi saw Tang Hu and the others with a haggard look, and he should have suffered some sins in the past few days.
In the face of Jiang Liwei's strength, under the eaves, Shen Xi had to bow his head, and said at the moment: "What should I do next, but please ask Jiang Gongzi to command." ”
Jiang Liwei stood up: "Okay, I like Shen Gongzi's cheerfulness." Yu Niang, I bother you to explain it in detail with Shen Gongzi. ”
Jiang Liwei did not explain the specific plan. Obviously, with the gunman, he didn't want to get involved anymore, and when he turned back and found out, he also had an excuse to shirk the blame.
Shen Xi asked, "Then my subordinates, can I take them away?" ”
Jiang Liwei smiled and made a gesture of "please", and the escorted Jinyi Wei untied the ropes on Tang Hu and the others, and left the Xiaohua Hall behind Jiang Liwei.
"You go out and wait."
Shen Xi knew that now was not the time for gossip, so he waved his hand to let Tang Hu and the others out. As soon as the people left, Yu Niang Yingying bowed down. With an apologetic face: "It's all the slave's fault." ”
Shen Xi didn't step forward to help, and his tone was a little cold: "Yu Niang should have expected this, right?" ”
"The slave family didn't know that Lord Jiang had captured Shen Gongzi's servants, if he knew, he would never let Shen Gongzi come to take risks." Yu Niang's face was sad. "The slave family is grateful for the kindness of the son, and he does not dare to be disrespectful. Master Jiang only said before that he asked Shen Gongzi to cooperate in acting in a play, and if it can be done, it can make the people behind the scenes reveal their original form, and even Gongzi will also have credit. It will be of great help to the son's future career. But he never thought that he would use the means of captivity......"
Shen Xi listened to Yu Niang's tone, it didn't look like she was lying, maybe she really didn't know that Jiang Liwei would use special means.
Jiang Li is only in the officialdom, fame and fortune are supreme, and he does not hesitate to do some insidious and cunning deeds for this.
Yu Niang lowered her head and told her what happened in a gentle tone. Shen Xi finally knew the so-called "luring the snake out of the hole". It is aimed at the rice and grain stolen from the government treasury in recent years...... At present, Youji has traced the whereabouts of this batch of rice grain, but it is impossible to know who is behind the scenes.
As long as there is a slight disturbance on the side of the household department, the criminal department and the factory guard, the people involved will either disappear or die, and then the clues will be cut off.
Therefore, Jiang Liwei hopes to find someone to pretend to be a person from the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, negotiate with the businessman who has the stolen rice and grain to buy grain, and lure out the people who are behind the scenes.
Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "But now there is a shortage of manpower." ”
Yu Niang said: "Shen Gongzi don't worry, the imperial court will send people for Shen Gongzi to dispatch, and many things only need Shen Gongzi to come forward, and the silver money and cargo ships are needed." Someone will provide it. ”
This plan is not small, in addition to requisitioning manpower, it also needs silver taels and cargo ships, so Shen Xi is not the only participant. Yu Niang said again: "Childe." This place is not suitable for a long time, the slave family will send you to a place. ”
Shen Xi knew that the person Yu Niang was going to take him to meet to assist should be a representative of an underground force in the capital.
Coming out with Yu Niang, Shen Xi instructed Tang Hu: "You guys, go out and rent a carriage and come back." Send Xiaoshan back to the original inn, you can't come out without my instructions, and I'll talk to you when I go back. ”
Zhu Shan suddenly separated from Shen Xi, a little nervous: "Young Master, I want to go with you." ”
"No need, you go back with Tang Hu and them."
Shen Xi confessed, walked through the courtyard with Yu Niang and Yun Liu, went out of the alley, and saw Tang Hu and the others leave first, and then he got into the carriage with Yu Niang and Yun Liu.
It was still Yu Niang who was driving the car, and the carriage went all the way to the vicinity of Chongwen Gate, and before Yu Niang settled in the courtyard, the carriage had stopped outside a teahouse on the side of the road that was not very conspicuous.
Enter the door and go up to the second floor, and come to the door of a private room.
Shen Xi and Yu Niang entered together, and Yun Liu waited outside.
The private room is luxuriously decorated, the floor is paved with Persian carpets, and there is a small square table in the middle, and a middle-aged fat man is sitting at the small table by the window drinking tea...... But it was the fat man Zhou that Shen Xi had seen earlier. There were two painting scrolls on the table, which were clearly sold to him by Shen Xigang.
"Jade Master, what is this?" Zhou Fatzi was also a little surprised when he saw Shen Xi, and hurriedly got up and saluted Yu Niang, his eyes fell on Shen Xi.
Yu Niang introduced on her behalf: "This is Xie Yuangong of Fujian's current township test, Shen Qigongzi, and he will be called Seventh Gongzi in the future." ”
"Seventh son, when we meet for the first time, I will say hello to you." Zhou Fatzi was sleek, and he came up to salute and added a "first meeting", deliberately reminding Shen Xi not to leak things.
Obviously, this time for the imperial court, Yu Niang, as the introducer of the two, if they had met before, it would inevitably make people suspicious of them.
Shen Xi suddenly thought, maybe Zhou Fatzi knew about this plan and met him in advance? Thinking about it again, the fat man often went to the restaurant to eat that week, and he only went in on a temporary basis, and the two met purely by chance, not who intended to wait for anyone.
Yu Niang introduced Shen Xi again: "This is the shopkeeper of Zhou in the south of the city, and he has a lot of business under his hands. ”
Without saying his name in detail, Zhou Fatzi smiled: "The third in the family of the contemptible family, the familiar one calls Zhou Laosan, and the one who doesn't know is called Zhou Fatzi." The seventh prince can be called whatever he wants. ”
Shen Xi arched his hand and said, "Master Wednesday." ”
Zhou Fatzi hurriedly waved his hand: "You are a celestial music star, and you don't dare to be a contemptible person." The contemptible person is from Jiangxi, and he knows a lot about the local dialects of Fujian and Guangdong, hey, but he doesn't know how to speak, this time I hope to help the Jade Masters and the Seventh Prince......"
"Sit down and talk!"
Yu Niang commanded, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Yu Niang said to Zhou Fatzi: "This time I will do things for the imperial court." If you can help with all your heart, after the matter is completed, you can arrange for Ling Gongzi to enter the Guozijian and wait to be released from the Guozijian. You can enter the officialdom. ”
Zhou Fatzi was originally sitting, but when he heard the words, he immediately changed his sitting to kneeling, and kowtowed respectfully: "Thank you for bringing the child to the jade master, the contemptible person will definitely live up to the expectations of the jade master." ”
Waiting to sit down again, Yu Niang said: "Zhou Laosan." In this case, you just have to obey the dispatch of the Seventh Prince, and the boats and vehicles used must not be hindered. In a few days after the year, the plan will be implemented, and any questions you need in the future can be discussed here...... Yunliu! ”
Saying hello, Yunliu opened the door and came in, and Yu Niang said, "My little girl." will follow Shen Gongzi around, obey the dispatch, if you have something, just find someone to contact the little girl. ”
Zhou Fatzi hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes." ”
Yu Niang got up and said, "Seventh Prince, let's talk to Zhou Laosan, I'll go back first." As for Yunliu, you go back with me to prepare, and after nightfall, go to the inn to wait for the seventh prince. The Seventh Prince shouldn't be shunned anymore, right? ”
Shen Xi thought to himself: "It's like I don't know where I live, I have arrested people and even the Jinyi guards, where can I avoid it?" ”
Shen Xi smiled and agreed. Only then did Yu Niang leave with Yunliu.
Zhou Fatzi was going to send each other off, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the private room, Yu Niang asked the two to go back.
Returning to the mat, Zhou Fatzi respectfully kowtowed to Shen Xi: "The little one has eyes and no beads." Abrupt adults, don't be surprised. ”
Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "I said that I am just a lifter, not an adult, Zhou Dangjia is too polite." ”
"You are Xie Yuan from Fujian Province, or you are a student, and now you are doing things for the imperial court. Future...... It must be high, and the small one can do things for you, which is really a blessing for three lives. Whatever the Lord commands, just send it. ”
Obviously, Zhou Fatzi is rich and powerful, but he has no social status, he can only hold his tail and be a man, and anyone in the court is a "lord" in his eyes.
And what he is doing now, in addition to ensuring his own safety, he also wants his son to study in the country and become an official in the future. This is like a reason why the coal boss in the future wants to send his son to be a civil servant, no matter how rich you are, you are a fart in the eyes of the officials, and you can do whatever you want.
Shen Xi sat down, and Fat Zhou diligently served tea and poured water, with a sycophantic smile on his face. Shen Xi looked at the two paintings on the table and said, "If you don't know, I thought that Master Zhou intended to meet me before." ”
Zhou Fatzi hurriedly explained: "Where and where, the contemptible people have to meet Shen Gongzi by coincidence, and these two paintings were originally bought and collected for ......"
Shen Xi saw that Zhou Fatzi was so stubborn, and knew that he respected people with fame or official status, so it was not unusual to buy paintings. Shen Xi asked, "Does Master Zhou know specific things?" ”
Zhou Fatzi shook his head blankly: "I don't know anything, I'm waiting for the seventh prince to give you." ”
Shen Xi pondered for a moment, because he had an intersection with Liu Daxia and was still Xie Yuangong, so even if Jiang Liwei wanted to use him, he had to be polite to meet him. But this Zhou Fat Man, Jiang Li Wei Ke didn't have so much thought, at most, he sent someone from the factory guard to intimidate him, and then asked Yu Niang to find someone, and confessed a few words casually, so that he could help him.
The planner is Jiang Liwei, and it is Yu Niang who is responsible for assisting and transmitting the message, and it is Shen Xi and Zhou Fatzi who are specifically involved.
Shen Xi said: "There is nothing to tell you below, I just said that the plan will not be implemented until after the year, these days, you and I should not see each other often." I took my leave first. ”
Seeing that Shen Xi was leaving, Fat Zhou was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Why is the seventh prince in a hurry to leave?" It's hard to come...... To tell the truth, the proprietor of this teahouse is a contemptible person, and on the second floor of this teahouse, no one can come up except for the contemptible person. And in this private room...... Hey, you can enjoy tea and listen to music, so you can't be at ease. ”
Just when Shen Xi was thinking about how "comfortable" this teahouse could be, Zhou Fatzi got up and opened the door and shouted, "Someone's coming." ”
The doors of the six or seven private rooms on this floor opened at the same time, and a girl from each of them walked out, holding a saucer.
"Why are you standing there, why don't you come and wait for your guests to drink tea?" Zhou Fatzi said with a scolding tone.
