118. Jingzhou Santang
Before the gate of Jingzhou was closed, Li Songran assumed the name of Zhou Gongzi and arrived at Qifengzhuang.
"Gongzi Zhou?" Nangong Jin looked at Li Songran, saw that he blushed, and asked with a smile: "Santang didn't find you, right?" ”
Li Songran said embarrassedly: "The eldest cousin helped." As soon as you left, he urgently summoned the masters and backbones of the three halls of Jingzhou to Pingyang for a meeting, and I specially greeted them in Pingyang. ”
"You're moving fast, I've only been here for two days."
"It's the eldest cousin who said that you won't leave fast with Dr. Du. There are ,......" Li Songran took out a letter and said: "This is the specific situation of Santang, the eldest cousin wrote it and asked me to bring it." He said that you left without asking anything, and you should know these things and make it easier for you to deal with them. And ,......" Li Songran looked at Nangong Jin and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be angry, Ah Jin." I really didn't mean to hide it from you last time. ”
Nangong Jin smiled indifferently, "I said it last time, I'm not angry, I understand." ”
"Actually, if it were me, I would be ...... angry."
"Hahaha...... okay, okay." Nangong Jin casually picked up the letter that Li Songran put on the table, and said as she opened it: "No wonder no one pays attention to me in Jingzhou, it turns out that I have gone to Pingyang." It's good. ”
"However, when they come back, they will know that you are the master of the hall." Li Songran looked at Nangong Jin cautiously, afraid that he would be unhappy.
"If you know, you know, and you have to entertain them." Nangong Jin looked at the letter.
"I mean, it's better for you to stay at the Fushun Inn." Afraid that Nangong Jin didn't understand, he added: "Generally, when we come, we live there, so it's more convenient and we won't misunderstand." ”
Nangong Jin looked up at him and said exaggeratedly: "Fushun, wow, high-end." ”
"A place at home." Li Songran smiled.
Nangong Jin also smiled and asked casually, "Why did they let me live?" ”
Li Songran lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said, "Ah Jin, we all know that in fact, you don't want to take over Jingzhou's affairs. However, I think since you're here, you should have accepted this arrangement, haven't you? She looked up at him expectantly.
Nangong Jin was speechless by him, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to say?" ”
"The eldest cousin said, if you don't want the main hall of Jingzhou Santang, it's okay......."
"What? Is there such a thing as a chapel master? Nangong Jin asked in surprise.
Li Songran also looked at him strangely, "Didn't you throw it away?" ”
"When?"
"The night before you left, my eldest cousin brought you a box. I didn't even look at you when I saw it, and I just threw it on a pile of boxes. ”
Nangong Jin seemed to remember, and said innocently: "He didn't say what it was." ”
Li Songran continued to ask carefully: "Then you, do you want it?" ”
"Can you eat and live in Fushun for nothing?"
"You just have to sign it."
Nangong Jin laughed, "Ha, brought it?" ”
Li Songran nodded and handed over a palm-sized steel token. Seeing Nangong Jin take it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It will be your birthday ...... a few days." ”
Nangong Jin was stunned and continued to look down at the letter.
Li Songran still whispered: "Auntie wanted to celebrate your birthday in advance, but you didn't have time to leave in a hurry." Actually, we live for you every year, ....... Then he said happily: "No matter how the family arranges this year, what do you want?" I'll give you a gift. ”
"No, it's good for you to bring this." Nangong Jin smiled and pointed to the stainless steel token, "I can't do it." ”
Li Songran looked at him a little sadly, stopped talking and sat quietly, waiting for him to finish reading the information that Nangong Pu had written for a whole day.
Nangong Pu wrote in great detail.
The reason why Hong Lai wants to belong to the Nangong clan is because there is no successor, and he is very aware of the virtues of his sons. Therefore, what he wants is that after his hundred years, the Nangong clan can continue to protect those sons who are not successful.
There is no successor, it seems that it has become a common problem of the Ten Tigers of Jingzhou back then, and even the most promising Qifengzhuang has been wiped out. Nangong Jin suspected that there was no Pingyang's approval for what happened five years ago, how could anyone help with Jingzhou Santang at that time. At that time, as long as the several major factions led by Qi Fengzhuang were defeated, Jingzhou would really be scattered, and no one would have the strength to compete with Jingzhou Santang. But if that's the case, it's not quite like the handiwork of the big brother, the big boss?
But Qin Yongsen's situation is a little strange, whether it is the Iron Dao Gate ten years ago or now, it seems that it has not reached the point where he must be attached to survive.
Nangong Jin still remembers the father and son of the Qin family, Qin Yongsen's black and thin little old man, Qin Ye is a white and pure talent, it seems that the Hong family should not be bad. However, thinking of Hong Jipeng's appearance, the proverb that these three generations do not leave his uncle's house may not be accurate.
According to Nangong Pu's description, Qin Yongsen had three wives and concubines and gave birth to six daughters, and only Qin Ye had one man. And the original Hong family, since Qin Ye became an adult, has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the ancestral house of Qin's hometown, and left two concubines in Jingzhou to take care of him. In the past three years, Qin Yongsen began to transfer his family property to his hometown Changde countryside one after another.
However, Nangong Jin felt that it was normal to transfer the family property, Jingzhou was so unpeaceful, everyone wanted to keep some coffins. What's more, the Qin clan didn't do it at the beginning, but in the past three years. Does it mean that he is a little disappointed in the Nangong clan?
Although he didn't trust it, Nangong Pu still gave Qin Yongsen 20,000 taels of salt every year, and only gave Yang Wentian 10,000 taels.
Yang Wentian's whole family is in the capital, and he is the only one in Jingzhou. In Nangong Jin's eyes, this is the big problem.
"Does Yang Wentian have any brothers?"
Nangong Jin suddenly asked, which made Li Songran startled, "He?" I think there is. I haven't seen any of his family, and he doesn't seem to have mentioned it. said that his parents were there, and he was already unfilial when he stayed in Jingzhou, so his wife and son stayed in the capital to fulfill their filial piety on his behalf. ”
Nangong Jin took a closer look and found that there were not many records about Yang Wentian, and asked, "That's all about Yang Wentian?" ”
"He is a disciple of the old hall master Hong, and he has been worshipping his master since he was very young. Except that the whole family is not in Jingzhou, nothing else seems to be special. His family is in the capital, so it seems that he is also doing small business. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get by, he wouldn't have left home to apprentice at a very young age. ”
Nangong Jin looked up at Li Songran and asked, "Have you checked?" ”
Li Songran shook his head honestly and said, "I also heard from others. He paused and asked, "Do you think Yang Wentian has a problem?" ”
"This man, how to say it, is deeply hidden. The relationship between him and Hong Jipeng is also very interesting, and the cooperation has fallen into each other's grounds. Nangong Jin guessed.
"You want to check on him?"
Nangong Jin laughed, "I haven't thought about it yet." Are you free, help me check Qin Yongsen first? ”
"Okay." Li Songran nodded.
**********
Early in the morning, Nangong Jin followed Yao Fangyu into the mountain at the appointed time. Cheng Zhaofeng, who pestered him all night, did not appear, and he was somewhat relieved.
After noon, find a flat land. Yao Fangyu asked to be a temporary station, and more than 50 coolies who went into the mountains together began to set up camp. Nangong Jin saw that a group of people were in a hurry, so he simply taught him how to set up camp, and helped set up tents and bury pots.
I didn't expect that the son of this rich family would do this, and he would call him a brother and sister to more than 50 coolies. made him, and when he saw Nangong Jin, his face was full of gratitude.
In the evening, Yao Fangyu began to arrange tomorrow's work, and a group of people divided into ten groups and excavated in different directions. Even Nangong Jin was a little skeptical, so serious, could it be that there was really a mine in the mountains?
After dinner, I finally found a spare space and called Lai Fa Cai over. Before he could start chatting, he saw Cheng Zhaofeng leading the horse with a wicked smile. "Why did you find such a place, so that I can find it." Without waiting for Nangong Jin to speak, he sat next to him, "Come and help, busy today?" ”
Lai Facai shook his head desperately: "Thanks to Nangong Gongzi, everyone has never done this, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be good until now." ”
"Why is Mr. Cheng here too?" When Yao Fangyu saw Cheng Zhaofeng, she smiled and came over to say hello.
"Miss Yao, come on, come on, haha, I'm a Jingzhou person, I really don't know what mines will be in this area? What kind of mine is it? Cheng Zhaofeng asked curiously.
"It's someone else's business, why do you ask so clearly?" Nangong Jin said angrily.
Cheng Zhaofeng didn't seem to hear the resentment in his words, patted Nangong Jin's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "There are many people here. He turned his head again and asked, "Are they all brothers in the gang?" How do I think there should be more people? ”
Lai Facai was embarrassed to say: "It's not that you don't help, hehe, they are all their own brothers, make some hard-earned money, and everyone who can come is here." ”
Cheng Zhaofeng nodded, "Oh, I thought there was a mess of firefights everywhere before, and it affected you. ”
"Alas, some brothers are injured, but fortunately they are not seriously injured."
Nangong Jin also picked up, "What's the matter?" I remember it wasn't that messy before, right? ”
Lai Facai made a bitter face, "Alas, Nangong Gongzi, I really can't understand it this time." In the past, there was always a cause and effect when there was a fight or a trouble. This time, alas, I had to tell my brothers not to go out if it's okay. ”
"Jingzhou is in chaos?" Yao Fangyu simply sat down next to them.
"That's not what I say. Five or six years ago, they were all good, thanks to the blessing of the old hero Hong. It's a pity that the old hero has passed away, and the peaceful days are gone. ”
"Old Hero Hong?" Yao Fangyu said that she didn't know anything about Jingzhou.
Lai Facai explained, "Yes, Hong Laihong old hero." We in Jingzhou have always been dissatisfied with anyone, but everyone has given face to Hong Lao Hero. Who knows, as soon as the old hero dies, the three halls below him will be in chaos first. Speaking of this, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at Nangong Jin embarrassedly and stopped talking.
Nangong Jin laughed, "Actually, I really want to know what is going on with these three halls, and I am really grateful to be able to tell you about it." ”
came to make a fortune and hesitated for a while, looked at Nangong Jin for a while, lowered his head for a while, and asked cautiously: "Nangong Gongzi, what are you ...... A private interview with Weifu? ”
