(Recommended reading: The next morning, Yang Li'er woke up faintly, and with a tingling pain coming from the stitched wound on her chest, she couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Hongyu treated her last night, and two shy flushes couldn't help but appear on her cheeks.

Yang Li'er looked around, and then remembered that she was brought here by Li Hongyu last night, and it seemed that she had avoided the pursuit of the government.

It's just that...... Yang Li'er didn't find Li Hongyu and didn't know where he went, which made her heart sink down, and she felt nervous for some reason, and not seeing Li Hongyu made her heart feel empty and insecure.

No matter how strong Yang Li'er is, she is just a girl, she has a fragile side psychologically, and now that she is injured, she naturally hopes to find a safe place to rely on, and Li Hongyu has now become the person she trusts and relies on.

"Thinking that you are about to wake up, let the kitchen cook some millet porridge, it seems that I came just in time, you can drink it while it is hot."

Just when Yang Li'er felt a little anxious, the door was pushed open, and Li Hongyu walked in with a bowl of fragrant millet porridge, and said to Yang Li'er with a smile.

The moment she saw Li Hongyu, Yang Li'er's originally flustered state of mind immediately calmed down, and she leaned on the bed with a slight bow.

Because the injury on Yang Li'er's chest affected the movement of his hands, Li Hongyu had to sit on the edge of the bed to feed her, which made the scene a little embarrassing, and Yang Li'er's cheeks involuntarily flew two flushes.

Feeling that Yang Li'er seemed a little cramped, Li Hongyu deliberately chatted with her all over the world, telling interesting stories about the north and south of the river, because he was knowledgeable and very talkative, so Yang Li'er quickly listened attentively, she had never been in contact with what Li Hongyu said before.

"Why didn't you ask me why I was hurt last night?" Unconsciously, Yang Li'er finished drinking the porridge, Li Hongyu cleaned up the tableware and was about to take it to the kitchen, Yang Li'er, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly asked when he walked to the door.

"There is only one person in this city that you are concerned about, and it must be because of him that he was injured." Li Hongyu stopped when he heard this, and comforted Yang Li'er with a smile, "I thought that it was definitely not his intention that you were attacked last night, and someone must have caused this to be an obstruction."

”

"I had someone bring news to the third prince yesterday and wanted to see him, but after I arrived, I was ambushed by the government, and the sea took people to cover me desperately so that I escaped."

The "he" in Li Hongyu's mouth naturally refers to the third son, Yang Li'er's eyes suddenly appeared gloomy, and said faintly, "It seems that my fate with him has ended." ”

If it weren't for Yang Li'er's careful eyes before, and she chose the place to meet near Wanhuatang as agreed with Li Hongyu, Yang Li'er would have been caught a long time ago, and she didn't know what happened to them in the sea.

For being rounded up by the government this time, Yang Li'er did not hate the third prince in her heart, as Li Hongyu said, it was definitely not the third prince who leaked the news to the government, it must be the third prince's father.

This means that the relationship between the two has been broken, after all, the third son's father has leaked the news twice and made her almost die, she can no longer be with the third son, unless the third son eloped with her, but how is this possible? Do you want the third prince to give up his current fame, fortune and status?

She knows the third son very well and knows that the third son can't do it, so separating is the best choice.

"By the way, according to the news from the Yamen, they were injured and captured in the sea, and now they have no worries about their lives."

Li Hongyu knew that Yang Li'er was sad, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he muttered for a while and said, "In addition, I heard the news of your father and brother, they are very good now, they are not in prison but are locked up in a courtyard of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, and no one embarrass them." ”

"Really?" Yang Li'er's face suddenly turned happy when she heard this, her expression was a little excited, and she looked at Li Hongyu in surprise and asked, she also thought that Yang Xiaotian and the Lu couple and others were going to suffer in the prison.

"It's true." Li Hongyu nodded with a smile, and then said to Yang Li'er seriously, "Actually, Lord Qincha is not as unbearable as you think, but sometimes he can't help himself, but generally speaking, his heart is not bad, and the title of 'dog official' does make him feel too wronged."

”

It can be seen that Li Hongyu has always been obsessed with Yang Li'er's scolding of him as a "dog official", and it is impossible for him to reverse Yang Li'er's opinion at once, so he can only gradually induce Yang Li'er and hope that Yang Li'er can change this prejudice.

"He's a dog official, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here, this dog official, dog official, stinky dog official!" Unexpectedly, Yang Li'er suddenly became excited when she heard this, and said angrily to Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and pushed the door away with the tableware, it seemed that there was a long way to go to change Yang Li'er's opinion.

Because Yang Li'er's injuries needed to recuperate for a period of time, Li Hongyu secretly took Yang Li'er to a mansion in the city after the people searching for the government released the surveillance of Du Wanhuatang, and he specially rented the mansion at a high price to house Yang Li'er.

For this reason, Li Hongyu also found two maids to serve Yang Li'er, the self-care ability of a big family like Yang Li'er is very problematic, and the room where Yang Li'er lived in Wanhuatang was cleaned up by him for a few days, and the reason why he didn't let his subordinates clean it up was for fear of exposing the news.

Although Li Hongyu has controlled everything, he can't let Yang Li'er know, only he is tired to tidy up, and Yang Li'er is also enjoying Li Hongyu's service with peace of mind because she was injured.

There is also Aunt Mei waiting for Yang Li'er in the house, Li Hongyu found Aunt Mei who was hiding through the contact method provided by Yang Li'er, and he can rest assured that Aunt Mei will take care of Yang Li'er in the future.

Li Hongyu has been busy since he returned to Yangzhou, and his time in Yangzhou was not much, but he was kidnapped by Yang Li'er and taken to a fishing village in Zhenjiang for a few days, which made him have to hurry up to deal with the affairs at hand and make friends with businessmen from all over the country who rushed to Yangzhou.

Hui merchants, Jin merchants and Zhejiang merchants and other leaders of the merchant gang appeared in Yangzhou City one after another, so that Yangzhou City for a time famous businessmen gathered, businessmen from all over the world want to come to see the excitement, secretly watch the changes, looking for possible business opportunities.

Li Hongyu looked for an opportunity to contact with businessmen from all over the world, and secretly inquired about the businessmen's views on overseas trade, although on the surface the merchants in Yangzhou City were deduced to come to Yangzhou to see the excitement, but Li Hongyu clearly felt that the businessmen gathered in Yangzhou were very interested in overseas trade, after all, this was the first time in the Ming Dynasty.

After weighing left and right, Li Hongyu officially set the time for the sale of overseas trade quotas on the first day of June, and posted a notice in Yangzhou to announce the whole city.

Prior to this, starting in mid-May, businessmen who were interested in overseas trade quotas had to sign up with the tax officer of the Customs Department who came with Li Hongyu, register their identities and pay a deposit of 100,000 taels, and then get a number plate that belonged to them, and then bid with the number plate.

As for why you have to pay a deposit of 100,000 taels, it is to prevent businessmen who are not powerful enough to fish in troubled waters and join in the fun, this 100,000 taels of security deposit will be returned to the participating merchants after the event, if you can't get so much money after bidding, the 100,000 taels of security deposit will be confiscated as punishment.

Even if 100,000 taels of silver is a huge amount of money in the eyes of the people of Suzhou, it is a piece of cake for those wealthy businessmen, and it is not a problem at all.

To Li Hongyu's regret, the smugglers he most wanted to contact were not found, because they were engaged in the business of pinning their heads to their trouser belts, so those smugglers paid great attention to hiding their whereabouts, and they were very vigilant, and if they were not introduced by acquaintances, they would not be able to break into their circle at all.

One night at the end of May, Li Hongyu rented a painting boat and took Yang Li'er, who had returned from injury, to Xiao Qinhuai to relax.

At this time, it is a good time to take the painting boat to travel around Yangzhou City, so Xiao Qinhuai is surging on the bow of the boat, many painting boats are shuttling back and forth on the water, the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, and the singing and dancing girl is competing for beauty in the bow of the boat, which is very lively.

In the cabin of the painting boat, Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, dressed as men, sat opposite each other at a wine table full of sumptuous dishes, and a group of singing and dancing girls danced in the open space in the center of the cabin.

"Brother Yang, what are your plans in the future?"

Because Yang Li'er was injured and Li Hongyu didn't let her drink, the two used water instead of wine, Li Hongyu asked with a smile while pouring white water into the wine glass in front of Yang Li'er.

Yang Xiaotian's matter obviously has to wait until Li Hongyu's Yangzhou matter is finished to be resolved, during which Li Hongyu hopes that Yang Li'er can stay honestly and not cause any trouble.

"I don't know, I'll leave it to fate." Yang Li'er's face darkened, and she looked a little lonely, after all, she was weak now and couldn't do anything.

"As the saying goes, if you don't, you will definitely be transferred in June." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he must leave for Beijing in June, then Yang Xiaotian's matter will have a result.

"I hope so?" Yang Li'er smiled at Li Hongyu when she heard this, and then remembered something, and couldn't help but ask Li Hongyu curiously, "Li Gongzi, what did you say to that person before you played cards in the casino at that time, so that he gave up his seat to you?" ”

It turned out that Yang Li'er always remembered that Li Hongyu scared away the players who sat down one step earlier when playing cards. You must know that the people who can play in it have a certain identity and status, and it is a shame to be scared away.

"I told him that I was arranged by the fifth master to accompany the two of you, but he was scared away." Li Hongyu almost forgot about this matter, and said after hearing the smile.

"Fifth Master?" Yang Li'er's expression darkened when she heard "you two", she naturally knew that the other person in Li Hongyu's mouth was the third prince, and then asked a little errandly, "Do you know Fifth Master Qin?" ”

The only person who can be called the "fifth master" in Yangzhou City is the **** boss Qin Wuye, so Yang Li'er can naturally guess the identity of the "fifth master", which is also the reason why Li Hongyu scared the other party away, after all, no one who does business wants to provoke **** people, and he is also a **** boss, so don't think about doing their business.
