Although Qian Du's itinerary is secret, he can't hide it from those who have a heart.

And this person with a heart is Jia Daocun, the head of the Jia family of Yonghe business.

In an inn in Yangzhou City, Qian Du looked at Jia Daocun in front of the guest room in surprise, and frowned slightly.

"So, you are Jia Daocun of the Jia family of Yonghe Firm?"

"It's the villain!" Jia Daocun had a smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"The villain knows that the commander of Qian arrived in Yangzhou yesterday, so he specially set up a banquet in Wangchun Tower today to wash the dust for the commander of Qian."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qian Du's back, you must know that except for a few henchmen and guards who followed, no outsiders knew about his itinerary, how could Jia Daocun know?

With a hint of cold light in his eyes, Qian Du stared at Jia Daocun and asked, "How did you learn about this official's itinerary?" ”

Jia Daocun didn't seem to see the killing intent in Qian Du's eyes, and still replied with a smile: "If you return to the commander of Qian, in Yangzhou City, no one or one thing can hide from the eyes and ears of the villain. ”

It seemed that he was also afraid of completely angering Qian Du, Jia Daocun explained: "But Commander Qian can rest assured, the villain has not placed eyeliner around you, but there are eyes and ears of the villain on the dock of the canal." ”

"Yesterday, Commander Qian just stepped ashore, and the villain's eyeliner on the dock already knew!"

With such an explanation, Qian Du felt more at ease. At the same time, he was shocked that Jia Dao's power in Yangzhou City was much greater than he imagined.

"What is the matter with this Jia Daocun's search for this official?" Thinking so in his heart, Qian Du replied: "Since Mr. Jia has invited him kindly, then the official will be disrespectful!" ”

"The villain has ordered someone to prepare a carriage and horses outside the inn, and Commander Qian will ask you!" Jia Daocun said, then led the money out of the inn, and then took a luxury carriage to Wangchun Tower.

Upstairs in Wangchun, the wine and food have already been prepared.

Wine is the best wine that has been cellared for hundreds of years, and the dishes are also rare delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the pots, cups, bowls, and plates that hold the food and wine are all gold, silver and jade.

Although Qian Du had long heard about the wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants, he had only heard about it before, and he didn't think so.

But when I saw it today, it really opened the eyes of the well-informed Qian Du.

Without him, because today's banquet is even more extravagant than the emperor's banquet.

But it was just a moment of shock in his heart, and soon, Qian Du's face returned to calm and calm.

But the shock in his eyes happened to be captured by Jia Daocun.

Jia Daocun had a faint smile on his face and said, "Commander Qian, please!" ”

"It's just some coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it when you command Qian!"

Hearing this, Qian Du stared at Jia Daocun with deep eyes, and sighed: "If Mr. Jia's banquet is coarse tea and light rice, then what the official used to eat is pig food!" ”

"Commander Qian is laughing!" Jia Daocun laughed dryly, "Commander Qian, please!" ”

Qian Du sat down, picked up the white jade wine glass on the table, and poured the wine inside into his mouth to savor it.

Sweet and mellow, with an endless aftertaste, it is an extremely rare wine.

Putting down the wine glass, Qian Du looked directly at Jia Daocun and asked, "Mr. Jia, I don't know if you can explain your intentions now?" What is there to find the Ruler? ”

Jia Daocun said: "Naturally, I want to ask the commander to save the lives of the villain and the rest of the salt merchants!" ”

"Huh!" Qian Du sneered and said, "Mr. Jia, are you joking with this official?" ”

"Commander Qian is laughing!" Jia Daocun said, "If Commander Qian can agree to help us, the villain will give 500,000 taels of silver tomorrow!" ”

Qian Du was unmoved, and sneered: "500,000 taels, Mr. Jia is really a big deal." I'm afraid that if this official receives Mr. Jia's money tomorrow, he will be beheaded by the saint the day after tomorrow. ”

"Mr. Jia's silver, but it's very hot!"

Qian Du's tone was very flat.

But it was this blandness that made Jia Daocun lose his previous calmness, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging: "Please also ask Commander Qian to save his life, as long as Commander Qian can save a villain, no matter what Commander Qian commands, the villain will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!" ”

"Now I have a bit of a begging look!" Qian Du still couldn't see joy or anger on his face, and said in a faint voice: "Mr. Jia, what do you say?" ”

"What Lord Qian said is extremely true!" Jia Daocun's face was pale, and he said with a dry smile: "Fang is the villain Meng Lang!" ”

"The villain specially prepared a thin gift, and asked Lord Qian to smile!" As he spoke, Jia Daocun, who was kneeling on the ground, clapped his palms twice.

I saw ten women who were twenty-eight years old and thin, and who were fat and thin, walked out from behind.

Looking at the ten women who came out from behind, Qian Du's eyes didn't even blink, and he kept staring at these women motionless.

Jia Daocun, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to get up, and said with a smile: "These ten women are all Yangzhou thin horses that have been carefully cultivated by the villain over the years, as long as Lord Qian likes it, you can take them away at any time!" ”

"Lord Qian, I'm afraid you don't know, these ten thin horses used to be women from official eunuchs."

"Oh?" Qian Du became interested, glanced at Jia Daocun, and then shifted his gaze to the ten thin horses, and his eyes rolled a few times.

Jia Daocun saw that Qian Du was very satisfied with these ten thin horses, so he continued to explain: "These ten thin horses, the ones with the lowest background, have also produced fourth-grade officials in the family before. And the one with the highest background is the woman named Zhang Qiongxue! ”

As he spoke, Jia Daocun pointed to the woman standing in the center, wearing a pink Yunluo skirt, with a white jade hairpin on her head, a delicate figure, and a jade face.

"This Zhang Qiongxue's origin is different from other women?" Following Jia Daocun's guidance, Qian Du looked at Zhang Qiongxue, looked at it carefully, and asked with indescribable satisfaction in his eyes.

"Nature is different from other women!" Jia Daocun explained: "Lord Qian is just afraid that I don't know, this Zhang Qiongxue is the granddaughter of the former protector. It's just that at the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, the protector made a mistake, and this Qiong Xueliu was filled into the Jiaofang Division, and was later bought by the villain. ”

"I see!" Qian Du suddenly realized.

Then, Qian Du said again: "This Zhang Qiongxue is good, the official likes it very much, and these ten women will follow the official in the future!" ”

"Why don't you hurry up and thank Master Qian?" Seeing that Qian Du agreed to accept this batch of gifts, Jia Daocun hurriedly shouted.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian!" The ten girls thanked her, and Jia Daocun drank it out.

"It's just ......" After the ten women retreated, Qian Du stared at Jia Daocun again and said, "Mr. Jia, you don't think that just these ten women can let this official stand up for you, right?" ”

"Naturally not!" Jia Daocun replied with a dry laugh, but scolded Qian Du for his insatiable greed in his heart......
