Text 110. The Great Case of Beiping (7)

Dafengtang, this is Yao Guangqi's third time to Dafengtang, every time he comes, he has a different harvest, the first time is to meet Tang Hao, the second time he saw the woman in yellow, and it is through the woman in yellow that he knows so many secrets and backgrounds behind the case, this third time, what surprises will there be?

What do you want, sure enough, there was a surprise, as soon as he came to the front of the Great Wind Hall, Yao Guangqi saw Tang Hao rushing over to him, and before Yao Guangqi could speak, the whip in Tang Hao's hand was thrown over, Tang Hao's whip was fast and accurate, and the control area was large, and what was even more rare was the agility of the moves. Just listening to the sound of the whip, he knew that its power was amazing, Yao Guangqi dodged away, he was surprised why Tang Hao was like this: "Why did you start it as soon as you came, your Tang family treats guests like this?" ”

Tang Hao stood firm, and said with a sneer: "We don't welcome guests like you, so it's polite to you?" ”

Yao Guangqi frowned: "Is there a misunderstanding?" Did someone say something about me? ”

Tang Hao said disdainfully: "You beat Sister Jin, and you went to someone else's girl's boudoir to do nonsense, is there such a thing?" ”

Yao Guangqi was even more confused: "Who is Sister Jin?" ”

Tang Hao sneered: "What are you pretending to be confused? It's the one I took you to see last time, you want to see someone's master, and the sister who left without agreeing. ”

Yao Guangqi smiled: "It turns out that those two old men are her masters, no wonder, but why did she run away when she saw me?" Even if she doesn't let me see her master, won't she just give a reason? Why do you want to do it and run away? ”

Tang Hao was stunned by the question, and Yao Guangqi continued: "Take a step back and say, if we really fight, you saw it that day, her light skills are better than mine, if you can't beat me, why don't you run?" Why wait to be beaten? ”

Tang Hao couldn't help but nod slightly, he felt that Yao Guangqi's words made sense.

Yao Guangqi struck while the iron was hot: "Also, who said that I went to someone else's girl's boudoir to do nonsense, did that person dare to confront him face to face, whose girl is it, and when?" ”

Tang Hao thought for a moment, then put away his whip, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yao Guangqi said with a smile: "I came to find your sister Jin." ”

Tang Hao said: "She's not here!" ”

Yao Guangqi asked again, "Where can I find her?" ”

"I don't know!" Tang Hao pouted and replied, "She's in a bad mood, my brother took her out for a walk." ”

Yao Guangqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then can you tell me about your sister Jin, you can say whatever you know." ”

Tang Hao was also refreshed, and said directly: "Our family originally had some business dealings with their family, and then my brother met, and my brother became obsessed with her at first sight, and he has been pursuing it hard, and the two families almost got married last year." ”

Yao Guangqi asked casually: "What kind of business does her family have?" ”

Tang Hao said: "Her family is mainly engaged in the business of grain and salt. ”

Yao Guangqi asked vigilantly: "Her family is also a salt merchant?" ”

Tang Hao nodded: "Her father is one of the biggest salt merchants in Beiping, Jin Mancai. ”

Hearing this, Yao Guangqi was surprised and couldn't speak, this was the most bizarre thing he had heard in the past few days, and the degree of surprise was comparable to eavesdropping on the Yamen of the Judge. A series of things were connected, and he knew that the key to this case was the woman in yellow. Thinking of this, he asked with concern, "What is your sister Jin's name?" Can you reach your brother? Do you know what happened to her family? ”

Tang Hao, who asked three questions in a row, was a little embarrassed: "My sister's name is Jin Ruyi, and the whole of her family knows about it in Beiping, how could I not know, but I don't think she is very sad, which is also the point that my father is most disgusted with her now, originally my father reluctantly agreed to her marriage with my eldest brother, but after the accident, my father said that this woman is ruthless, and she is not sad even when her parents die, and she will be indifferent to our Tang family in the future, so my father is now strongly opposed to this marriage." ”

"Will you be able to find your brother?" Yao Guangqi was a little anxious.

"What are you looking for her for?" Tang Hao was puzzled: "Did you find something?" ”

Yao Guangqi looked very anxious: "I have very important clues about the case of Jin Mancai's annihilation, and now I have some things to verify with her, if it is confirmed, I will be able to find out his family's enemies!" ”

Tang Hao didn't dare to slack off when he heard this: "My brother has a place he often visits, it is estimated that they may go there now, let me take you there." ”

Tang Hao pointed to the endless grassland and said proudly: "Here, all the horses you can see belong to my family, and we have bought them from the grassland in recent years. Tang Hao pointed to the largest of the horses and said proudly, "Whether these horses are sold to those rich merchants or those princes and nobles, they can be sold for a good price." It's just that one-third of it will be handed over to the imperial court. ”

Yao Guangqi smiled and asked, "Didn't you donate hundreds of horses to the imperial court last year?" Do you want to give it to the imperial court again? ”

Tang Hao explained: "The reason why Dafengtang can legally sell tea and exchange horses is because my father donated horses to the Northern Expedition during General Xu Da's Northern Expedition, and the general specially reported to the emperor for this, so my Dafengtang was not only awarded by the imperial court, but also obtained the permission of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to raise horses. ”

Yao Guangqi asked again: "Will the imperial court buy your horse at a high price?" ”

Tang Hao explained with a smile: "According to the agreement between my father and General Xu Da back then, Dafengtang pays three hundred military horses to the imperial court every year, and the imperial court exempts my family from all taxes. But on the other hand, the imperial court did not lose us, for example, this horse farm, the original horse farm is only one-fifth of the current size, last year to General Li after donating those horses, King Yan sympathized with us, said that we solve the country's crisis, is a model of righteous business, specially reported to the court, this radius of dozens of miles are allocated to us as a horse farm, our horse farm has expanded several times. ”

Yao Guangqi secretly sighed in his heart that Zhu Di did a beautiful job, this Dafeng Hall can be of great use in the future, Zhu Di used the land of the imperial court to win over the Tang family, in fact, he used the grace of the imperial court to buy people's hearts for himself, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Di earned it.

Tang Hao didn't know what Yao Guangqi was thinking, so he just said blindly: "You see, there are dozens of horses over there that already have buyers, and they can't be moved, and they have paid a high price, but the buyers bought the horses and moved them away, and they are still raised in our Dafeng Hall, where there are a few of the best swollen horses, and this horse herd will be the best horse herd in the Central Plains in the future." ”

The two looked for it while talking, but they didn't find Tang Ying's shadow after going around the racecourse. Yao Guangqi asked, "Are you sure you can find your eldest brother?" ”

Tang Hao smiled mysteriously: "My eldest brother has another place that he often goes, but after he met Sister Jin, he didn't go much, let's go there and try our luck." ”
