Fuzhou, Qingyin Xiaozhu, is Ren's garden villa, built on a small hill outside the city with no shop in front and no village in the back.

Luo Yunshi was being taken to the study by his "classmate" Ren Jiahang. At the door of the study, Ren Jia sailed and saluted, "Lord Luo, my father has been waiting for a long time, please inside." Luo Yunshi smiled and nodded, and entered. Ren Jiahang did not follow up, but gently closed the door.

A man in his forties in the room was fiddling with a set of kung fu tea. Seeing Luo Yunshi enter the door, he looked up and got up with a smile, "Lord Luo is really young and promising." ”

"Lord Ren has won the award." smiled and saluted.

Ren Yin's return gift, please take a seat, and serve tea.

"For the matter of Jingzhou, thank you Lord Ren."

"Hehe, it's a matter of duty. However, the Quanzhou mission ....... Ren Yinsheng's expression was embarrassed.

"Luo knows that when it comes to the Ministry of War, the brothers can help Luo pave the way, and they are already grateful." Luo Yunshi thanked him.

"Not only that, after Lord Luo leaves, our Ren family will also leave for a while."

"Why?"

"It's what Mr. Qian meant. Lord Qian also asked Ren to inform Lord Luo that Lord Zheng's identity might have been leaked, and now he has been transferred to the suburbs of Beijing for secret protection, and the situation is clear. ”

Luo Yunshi frowned, "Did you find something wrong in Xiguan Racecourse, so serious?" ”

Ren Yinsheng smiled bitterly, "Alas, I just hope that those adults in Beijing don't trade with us little people, it's just a name for them, but it's our life." "Saying that he will refill the tea for Luo Yunshi, continue" Also, Lord Qian confessed and asked Lord Luo to be suspended immediately. ”

Luo Yunshi took a sip of tea and asked quietly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Ren Yinsheng nodded, "Hehe, Lord Luo is really calm. What Lord Qian means is that the affairs of Quanzhou will be carried out in your private name, no matter what happens, Yanzhou will be on standby in three months. ”

Luo Yunshi sighed, "Okay. ”

Ren Yinsheng took out a thick envelope from under the table and handed it over. "Before Lord Zheng left, the peripheral affairs have been arranged, please rest assured Lord Luo. These were prepared according to Lord Zheng's requirements, and the time was in a hurry, so the brothers could only do so. Also, Lord Qian instructed that Lord Luo needs to temporarily return the waist card, forgive me. ”

Luo Yunshi paused, smiled bitterly, took out the waist card and put it on the table, and took the envelope casually. Ren Yinsheng took out a small iron box and put Luo Yunshi's waist card into the seal. "After three months, the liaison will go to Yanzhou to return the item."

Luo Yunshi nodded and asked casually, "When will Lord Ren leave?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning."

"Have a nice trip."

"You too, stay safe."

"Farewell."

"No."

Before Luo Yunshi walked out of the gate of Qingyin Xiaozhu, he was stopped by Ren Jiahang and handed over a key, "There is a letter from you, sent to Yifeng Academy the day before yesterday, it should be in my bookcase, Gengzi 7831, this is the key." Before leaving, Master Zheng instructed me to tell me that this matter was a little troublesome, so it was not done by him, please forgive me. ”

On the carriage to Quanzhou City, Luo Yunshi sighed deeply. There were not many things in the envelope, five hundred taels of silver; The mortgage document of the 3,200 Huitong silver number, the document filled in the quantity, indicating that it needs to be offset by the deed of Yanzhou Jimin Tang, and Baihuitong drew the mortgage, but did not fill in the date; A deed of transfer of Xiang Kee Goods Bank, the seller is Cao Defa, the owner of the original Xiang Kee, and the buyer is Luo Yunshi, who has completed the transaction half a year ago, and is a red deed stamped with the seal of Quanzhou Prefecture. In addition, it was the key that Ren Jiahang handed over to him.

I don't know if Zheng Shu offended people, or if it was really as Ren Yinsheng said, it became part of the transaction. Xiguan Racecourse is more like a bureau, it seems to be a secret agent who is trying to expose the Jinyi Guard, but fortunately, he has found a reason that can stand up to investigation. Luo Yunshi smiled bitterly, among the three people who went with him, thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that only he is the most problematic. Thinking about it this way, suspension is not a bad thing either.

Luo Yunshi looked at the key. Suspension, alas, I don't know if the Nangong clan has ended its cooperation with other Jin merchants, in case it has withdrawn, then the matter of Quanzhou, the risk and benefit are not proportional, it is really better not to do it. But Boss Qian hasn't said to stop until now. After three months, Yanzhou will be on standby, won't you really give a chance to go home and have a look?

I remember that the eldest brother was only more than ten years old back then, which made many little girls in Pingyang upside down for him, and they didn't think about tea and dinner. I really didn't understand anything back then, and I discussed with Yaoyao to let the eldest brother put on women's clothes and play with those little girls.

Thinking of this, Luo Yunshi laughed.

Yaoyao? Let's get married. That one, who claims to be the most beautiful little girl in heaven and on earth, doesn't know what it looks like now? I don't know where to marry, does my husband hurt her? also said that he wanted to protect her, as well as his mother and eldest sister. I wonder if they're okay? Oh, it's definitely good.

Luo Yunshi looked at the information in his hand.

Looking at this situation, eighty percent of this task has also stopped, or else, whatever you want? Then I ......, I don't know if I can meet everyone secretly, anyway, after three months, I will definitely go back to Tumochuan, so I won't contact you. As for ...... father, I don't want to think about it, I think too much about chest tightness.

**********

Jinan, Daming Lake, Painting Boat.

It was early in the morning when Nangong Dingkang sent off the last batch of guests, and there were four Jin merchants; There are spokespeople who don't even report their names, but represent some big names in Beijing. Among these people, the Nangong clan should be the most disadvantageous, but unfortunately, the most disadvantaged party occupies their shipping channels.

This time, people from Kyori participated, and the scene was much more intense than the private meeting a few years ago.

Kyori means that the Nangong clan is the bodyguard and should compensate for the loss of goods. However, before Nangong Dingkang could express his position, the four Jin merchants collectively objected, they felt that the five families, including the Nangong family, and the behind-the-scenes figures in the capital, were all one, and the robbery of the goods was not only a loss for some people in Beijing, but a loss for everyone. However, this time the total loss was 200,000 taels, and the loss to each family should be about 25,000 taels, but this amount Jingli disagreed, thinking that it should be the Jin merchants who should bear all the losses, and they should stock up as soon as possible and go again, and the total amount should be 400,000 taels.

Nangong Dingkang took out evidence to prove that it was the goods that were robbed by the military garrison, and there were also personnel losses in the second hall shipped by the Nangong clan. If Kyori doesn't prove his innocence, it will be difficult to cooperate again. However, as soon as this meaning was expressed, the four families quickly demanded that if the Nangong clan did not cooperate, the passage would be handed over to the four families. The problem is that everyone can walk the road, but the person in charge of shipping is the two halls under the Nangong Gate, and these two halls also participate in the protection together with the local defenders in peacetime. This is certainly unacceptable.

We talked about it seven or eight times, and each time we talked about it. This time, I talked about it for five days, but it was still fruitless. For Nangong Dingkang, no result is the best result. At that time, I thought it would only be the smuggling of daily necessities, and I participated in it in order to cling, to allow a few halls to gain a firm foothold, and to have greater profits. Unexpectedly, it developed into arms smuggling, which Nangong Dingkang could not accept. Let's talk, it's good to keep talking, and you can stop for as long as you can.

However, I suddenly thought of the note "Beware of buying murder" given by Nangong Wan before. The line in the north can't really stop all the time, I'm afraid that some people think that the Nangong clan is disobedient and wants to knock and knock? Then this "fierce" must be fierce enough. If Zhou Tang was here, he would definitely say that he was suspicious again.

Nangong Dingkang looked at the thick night outside the painting boat, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle, it's late, let's go back to the room." Li Songran took a cloak and put it on Nangong Dingkang.

Nangong Dingkang still stood at the bow of the boat and said softly: "There is fog on the lake at night. Why don't you sleep yet? ”

"Let the servants clean up. Also, the eldest cousin replied that everything was fine at home, and he would be careful. Shall we come back tomorrow? ”

After a while, Nangong Dingkang nodded lightly, "They won't give up." By the way, is there any news from Yanzhou? ”

Li Songran hesitated, "He seems to have arrived in Quanzhou." ”

"Quanzhou?"

He spent the night in Yanzhou and then left. We waited for him in Jinan for more than ten days. ”

Nangong Dingkang laughed, "You have a lot of opinions about him?" ”

Li Songran was silent.

"Actually, we originally came to Jinan, but we came a little early, and we can't talk about waiting for anyone. Hehe, he won't come at all. "Nangong Dingkang is very open-minded.

"I don't have a problem with him, it's just that some of his attitudes make people very unhappy." Li Songran was indeed a little unhappy when he thought of him.

"Hahaha, Songran, he didn't recognize it from beginning to end, we were wishful thinking, nothing to be unhappy about. So, what did he do in Quanzhou? Nangong Dingkang asked while persuading.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything to be done. This is the news from Bihaitang. ”

"...... Bihaitang, my uncle remembers Ke Yi of Bihaitang, and you can be regarded as a child, right?"

Li Songran laughed, "We have always been in contact, and he helped investigate Luo Yunshi's matter last time." ”

"Yes, Master Ke has always been in poor health, and he is willing to help do something, which is not bad. I remember this kid was a bit naughty. Unexpectedly, you have been in touch. Hehe. ”

"Actually, the pocket watches, enamel, and glass were all brought by him, and I asked him to help find the way to make glass, and I tried it a few times." Speaking of these gadgets, Li Songran was quite excited.

"You're making glass?" Nangong Dingkang was a little surprised.

Li Songran's face flushed, but fortunately the night was dark and he couldn't see it, "I've been trying this year, but I didn't succeed, and I asked him to help find a master to come over." Although it didn't work, I also accumulated a lot of experience, even if I really don't have a master, I should be able to meet the requirements after a few more attempts. ”

"You opened a glass shop? Why haven't you heard your aunt say it? Nangong Dingkang asked strangely.

"No, it's just playing by myself, and I found two or three helpers."

"You're doing it yourself?" Nangong Dingkang is even more curious.

Li Songran nodded a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's quite interesting." I go over and play with it when I'm empty, and I don't go there very often. ”

Nangong Dingkang turned around and looked at him through the moonlight, "Songran, you have always been mysterious, are you making glass?" ”

Li Songran was really embarrassed to be looked at, and lowered his head, "Yes." ”

Nangong Dingkang laughed, "Ha, your aunt thinks you have a sweetheart, hahaha, I wanted to ask a long time ago, but she still pulled me and didn't let me ask, for fear that you would be thin-skinned." Relieved, ......," Nangong Dingkang patted him on the shoulder. "Do you have a sweetheart?"

Li Songran kept his head down, "I think, I think, it's still early." ”

"Early? Your eldest cousin is already a father at your age. Nangong Dingkang put away his smile and looked helpless, "I didn't want to rush you, but I also said that you can make your own decisions about this matter, but if you keep dragging it out like this, it won't work." Uncle is not an unreasonable person, so if you can't settle down next year, then the family will find one for you. Don't worry, my uncle and aunt's vision is not bad, just look at your sister-in-law, right? ”

Li Songran said "um" in an inaudible voice.

Nangong Dingkang turned around again, looked at the dark lake, and after a while, asked, "...... Quanzhou, what's abnormal in Quanzhou recently?" ”

Li Songran thought for a while, "I haven't heard of it. ”

"Ke Yi's ...... here, how is Master Ke's body?" Nangong Dingkang asked.

He didn't specifically talk about it, it should still be the same. However, if Ke Tang Master's rheumatism is not cured, it will only get worse. ”

The two stood quietly for a while, and the fog in the early morning became thicker.

"Actually, we can go to the south and go around, it's okay anyway."

"Uncle, what about the north?"

"They take it for granted and ignore them. Let's go tomorrow. ”
