Deep in the bamboo forest, red sleeves.

The curtain in the bamboo pavilion was fluttering, Ke Yi was sitting on his knees, his clothes were half open, his hair was scattered, and his face exuded an abnormal flush, which was quite a bit of Wei and Jin demeanor. Three women in translucent maid clothes around him pulled their long hair, warmed wine, sang songs, and played the piano.

Seeing Luo Yunshi coming from afar, Ke Yi bent the corners of his mouth and looked up and down. "Luoyunshi?"

Luo Yunshi nodded, "Ke Gongzi Yaxing." ”

"Sure enough, it's a talent. Some? Ke Yi motioned to the woman next to him to pour wine for Luo Yunshi.

Luo Yunshi smiled and picked up the wine glass and sniffed, "Five stones? ”

"Hahaha, good stuff, it's not easy to get."

Luo Yunshi put down his wine glass and shrugged, "Luo is not good at this." ”

Ke Yi took the wine glass that Luo Yunshi put down and drank it in one gulp, "Hey, Brother Luo is really not interesting." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"When you arrive in Quanzhou, don't come to me, first look for the government. Not interesting enough. Ke Yi said lazily with a smile.

Luo Yunshi said with a smile: "Luo is really envious of Gongzi Ke, he doesn't have to explain anything to anyone." ”

"Alas, man, show the bright side to others."

"Alas, Luo Mou is not glamorous from beginning to end now."

"Don't call me poor, what is Xiangji, I know better than you." Ke Yi had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. Then he shook his head, "The surname Cao is not interesting enough, and he didn't tell me in advance about such a big thing." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't know Gongzi Ke before acquiring Xiangji, otherwise, I wouldn't have been poor and white."

Ke Yi said: "You must sue?" ”

"It depends on Gongzi Ke."

Ke Yi closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the mellowness of the glass of wine, and for a long time, "I have almost ten catties of Wushisan here, how much do you want?" ”

Luo Yunshi smiled helplessly, "Luo can't explain." ”

"Today's saints are all dedicated to cultivating, and I am a fart and want to cultivate, so doesn't Young Master Luo even take such a big opportunity in his eyes?"

Luo Yunshi sighed, "The Dao of the Holy Lord and the Dao of Gongzi Ke are not the Dao of Luo. ”

Ke Yi stared at Luo Yunshi and said faintly, "Sure enough, the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other." ”

"Luo heard that Li Songran will come to Quanzhou."

Ke Yi continued to say in that distant tone: "When he comes, I won't pick it up, if he leaves, I won't send it." Young Master Luo, do you know him? ”

"For Gongzi Ke, it doesn't make much difference whether Luo knows him or not."

"Hahaha, Master Luo finally said something to the right appetite."

"After all the words, don't drink the wine, it seems that Luo should leave."

Ke Yi smiled and raised his glass, "Don't send it." ”

**********

Wuxinguan is eighty miles away from Quanzhou City, built on a huge seaside rocky mountain hundreds of zhang high, Taoist temple is backed by the sea cliff, and the winding and steep stone steps extend from the foot of the mountain to the courtyard gate. It was a small courtyard, and several retreat rooms had been carved out of the cliff facing the sea.

Nangong Dingkang drank tea in the small reception room, quietly listening to the sound of the waves.

I should have known Ke Shicheng thirty or forty years ago, at that time, everyone was high-spirited, and he was not a patriarch or head, but the third son of a down-and-out family Nangong clan.

The major event back then, the eldest brother died and the second brother was disabled, and it was because of Ke Shicheng that it was his turn to inherit the family business that had long been ruined. Thinking of this, Nangong Dingkang's heart was slightly sour, his eldest brother was only twenty-seven years old when he died, according to Nangong Dingkang's heart, he didn't have to die.

"This benefactor, Daoist Changyi is still in retreat, and it is really inconvenient to meet guests." A Taoist leader in his thirties walked into the reception room and gave a salute to Nangong Dingkang.

Nangong Dingkang frowned, half an hour ago, he handed over the name sticker of Pingyang's old friend to a little Taoist boy, thinking that Ke Shicheng would come out soon, but he didn't expect it to be gone.

"How long is the retreat?"

"It's not easy to say, it's two or three months fast, sometimes it's half a year or a year."

"Then how do you contact him if there's something?"

Dao Chang smiled, "Donor, Changyi Dao Chang has been a long time ago, but it is a mundane matter. ”

Nangong Dingkang sighed, "I don't see my friends, and Dingkang has no choice but to leave." ”

Quanzhou Bihaitang was established for Ke Shicheng at that time, and Nangong Dingkang also promised to ask about Bihaitang's affairs, Ke Shicheng said that Bihaitang belonged to Nangong's subordinates, and in order not to embarrass Nangong Dingkang that year, he handed over the annual general ledger, the hall register, and even the fixed income of 10,000 taels of silver to Pingyang every year, but as long as Ke Shicheng opened his mouth, whether it was asking for money or people, Nangong Dingkang did not agree.

But I don't know when it started, the general ledger and the hall roster are still being handed over, and the 10,000 taels of silver, along with Ke Shicheng's message, are gone. It's not that Nangong Dingkang doesn't know that Bihaitang exists in name only, but he really wants to meet this old friend.

Li Songran waited at the foot of the mountain, and was a little surprised to see Nangong Dingkang coming down so quickly. "Uncle, Uncle Ke ......." Nangong Dingkang smiled helplessly and shook his head. "He's gone?" he asked. ”

"Hehe, he is already an outsider, and I am still a layman."

"Then, Ke Yi's matter has been rumored in Quanzhou, Uncle Ke really doesn't care?" Li Songran asked urgently.

"What do you think will happen to Ke Yi?"

"There have been two rounds of trials between Xiangji, and Xiangji has all the human and physical evidence, but after all, Ke Yi is from Quanzhou, and the government doesn't want to make a decision like this. The problem is that in the past few days, many small creditors have also sued Ke Yi in the same way, and if Xiang Ji wins this time, then Ke Yi will not have to fight the lawsuit in the future. Li Songran had already inquired clearly, so he was even more anxious.

"When is the next round?"

"I didn't say, I guess it will be five days later."

"You, the guarantor, aren't you going to meet Ke Yi?" Nangong Dingkang asked with a smile.

Li Songran was a little embarrassed, "It's awkward to meet, he didn't run ...... anyway." ”

**********

Recently, the biggest news in Quanzhou is that Xiang Ji sued Ke Yi, the youngest son of Ke Shicheng, the richest man in Quanzhou and a great benevolent man. I thought that there was no suspense in this case, but the owner of Xiangji was a new foreigner, and the Ke family had lived in Quanzhou for a long time after all, it was nothing more than how the government compromised. Who knows, Ke Yi suddenly took out a document to prove that he was the master of the Bihai Hall of the Nangong Clan, and the payment of this document was Ke Shicheng, and the time was when the family property was divided eight years ago. Therefore, it is not that he owes the debt, but that he owes it on behalf of Bihaitang.

Peng Sheng came to Xiangji again, looking anxious, because the government actually recognized this document, if so, then all the debts, do you have to go to Pingyang to find the Nangong clan? Peng Sheng was not the only one who was anxious about this, and the small creditors who followed the trend and sued suddenly became familiar with Luo Yunshi.

Peng Sheng waited until sunset in Xishan to see Luo Yunqiu Shan, "Xiao Luo, how is the matter?" ”

Luo Yunshi smiled, "Brother Peng's facsimile of "Sunny Paste When the Snow is Fast" still has some effect. ”

"What should Master Li do?"

"Alas, Master Li called me to go today, which can be regarded as a face-saving one. I ask that if it is determined that Bihaitang is in debt, then the property of Bihaitang will be repaid......"

Peng Sheng was anxious when he heard this, "Ah, what kind of industry does Bihaitang have, it's all from the Ke family." ”

"Don't worry, I don't believe that for the Nangong clan, there are only three words left in Bihaitang." Luo Yunshi said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Peng Sheng was puzzled.

"The Nangong clan must have the accounts of Bihai Hall for so many years, if Bihai Hall has long ceased to exist, then why has the Nangong clan never withdrawn from the hall? I have checked, the more than 20 halls set up by the Nangong clan are not to show off their strength, but to better engage in business, otherwise where would they get so much money? The account books here of the Nangong clan are either made by them sent someone to Quanzhou, or they are provided by the Ke family, no matter what, the Ke family, or Ke Yi has a book of Bihaitang in his hand, I guess, the account will not be too ugly. ”

"But, but, if there is, it is also a false account? What's the use? Peng Sheng really didn't understand what Luo Yunshi was thinking.

"Do you think the Nangong clan knows that Ke Yi is giving a fake account? Now that the government has recognized Ke Yi as the master of Bihai Hall, do you think the Nangong clan recognizes it? Besides, I don't think Bihaitang has anything in its name, it's just some industries that can't be exchanged for silver, such as abandoned docks, closed shipyards or something......"

"But it's useless for us to come?" Peng Sheng was even more anxious.

"The Nangong clan only has one hall in Quanzhou Bihai Hall in the port, they don't have the support of the imperial court, and if they want to set up another hall in other ports, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than the Bihai Hall." Luo Yunshi is confident.

Peng Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "What can you do like this?" ...... our money? ”

Luo Yunshi laughed, "Actually, I mean, we don't have to go to Pingyang, they will also send people, as long as we accept Bihaitang, unless they are really boring to Quanzhou, otherwise, we will make a price." If they really give up Quanzhou, then directly sue Li Songran, who made him the guarantor. ”

Peng Sheng still looked worried, "Xiao Luo, in fact, Brother Peng wants to get back as much as he wants, just don't lose too much......." ”

"Brother Peng, do you think Ke Yi will take the initiative to repay the money? In fact, up to now, even he doesn't know how much he owes to the outside world, in short, if I were him, I am afraid that I will not pay back a penny. As for his brothers and sisters, hehe, I can only say that I am not sure that these debts are all owed by Ke Yi alone. Brother Peng, more than 100,000 taels, I guess, owing wages is just a trivial matter, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Yonggu will follow in the footsteps, right? ”

Peng Sheng smiled bitterly, "Yonggu is almost a hundred years old." This time, if it weren't for the ...... of Boss Cao and Gongzi Ke, alas, I didn't expect ....... ”

"I didn't want Xiangji to close the door, and Yonggu has no reason to close the door, Brother Peng, you don't want to either, right?"

"Then, then, you mean to find a way to receive Bihai Hall?" Although Peng Sheng said this, he still didn't think much about it.

"For Ke Yi, the big creditor is Yonggu, in other words, only Yonggu can propose to take Bihaitang. If Brother Peng believes in the younger brother, the younger brother can come forward to deal with it, but in this way, the identity of the younger brother's shareholders will be disclosed. However, now he is facing Bihaitang, not Gongzi Ke, Brother Peng, no problem, right? ”

"Surely you can?" Peng Sheng hesitated.

"No, it certainly won't."

"But, I think, Bihaitang belongs to the Nangong clan, that, Gongzi Ke said to give it to us?" Peng Sheng still felt that there was a problem.

"Just let the government admit it. Just like Ke Yi, the hall master, the document he took out did not have the Nangong clan's painting on it. ”

Peng Sheng thought about it for a long time, Luo Yunshi was not in a hurry, drank tea, and asked people to serve a few plates of refreshments. Finally, Peng Sheng said, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"It's nothing, as long as you recognize me as a shareholder." Luo Yunshi said with a smile.

"Of course I recognize it. In this way, Xiang Ji now, except for the point library, there seems to be nothing to do, right? ”

"There are a lot of creditors who come to the door, and they may also want to learn from me to sue, hehe, I plan to sell the warehouse or everything, how much can I repay. There are also many family members of the crew who come every day to hear the news, but I have no other news. It may also be troublesome for Brother Peng to introduce a few sailors to find out what is going on with those three ships. Luo Yunshi was a little helpless.

"Xiao Luo, do you think this is good. Before you came, I also looked at it, and it is not a way for you to live in Xiangji, so it is better for you to live in my house. It's just next to the shipyard, and there's nothing else, it's just bigger than yours, more people, and more comfortable. ”

Luo Yunshi was a little speechless. This is somewhat of a nearby surveillance, and a very cautious person will also be sent three ships by Ke Yi. "This, it's too much trouble."

"Don't bother, don't bother, you call me big brother, in this way, we can discuss the shipyard more, and you are also a shareholder." Xiang Ji has something to do here, and it is convenient for you to come, and some people who don't want to see can also be seen. It's, it's, it's a lot of money, hehe. Peng Sheng laughed with him.

"This ......."

"That's it, is there a lot of things? Why don't you move today? ”
