Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fog Fills

"It's also strange, the villain didn't dare to ask more along the way, Yan Sun listened to what the villain said. Fu Ke neither let Yan Sun lose money, nor did he let Yan Sun promise that he would not have any more dealings with Zhu Yijie in the future, but let Yan Sun hook up with Dong Xian's wife Dong Li in the future. Fu Ke also promised to provide all conveniences, which means that money is given to people, and people are strong. The villain almost lost his big teeth at that time, and there are such good things in the world? If you sleep with someone else's woman, others not only don't blame you, but they also give you an idea to let you sleep with another woman, which is simply a great good person. Wu Laosi was almost overjoyed, with an eager expression, "Later, there was nothing to do along the way, they rushed together during the day, and slept separately at night, Yan Sun was also much more honest, and he didn't sneak to Sister Zhu's room." Fu Ke also asked the villain, if he wanted to sleep with Sister Zhu, where did the villain dare to have this idea, his head shook like a rattle. ”

Sister Zhu Yijie is a storyteller, she should be a geisha who sells her art but not her body, and the reason why she is committed to Yan Sun is that she is also forced by Fu Ke. Xia Xiang faintly had a feeling that in Wu Laosi's narration, he was approaching the hidden truth behind the matter step by step! There is no doubt that Fu Ke is calculating Yan Sun.

"When I arrived in Qizhou, the villain bought medicinal materials, Fu Ke and Sister Zhu were hanging out, and Yan Sun asked questions very carefully to understand the market. Yan Sun doesn't know much about medicinal materials, but he knows how to manage them. He calculated an account, imported a batch of chrysanthemums, yams and sand cucumbers from Qizhou, and transported them to Quanzhou, the profit could be as much as three or five times. If you go as far as the South China Sea to the countries of the South China Sea, the profit will be as high as ten times. When Yan Sun was settling accounts, his spirit was bright, and he looked like a shrewd businessman. The villain couldn't figure it out, how could such a shrewd person be pitted by Fu Ke? No wonder the ancients said that the red face is a disaster, how many heroes and heroes are famous, and finally planted on women. ”

Wu Laosi sighed a few words, peeked at Xia Xiang and a few people, and saw that a few people were not displeased, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "When we went, our group of four hired a donkey cart. When he came back, Yan Sun specially hired two carriages, and the fares, hotel expenses, meal expenses, etc., all of which were paid by Yan Sun. Yan Sun was generous and liked pomp, and he arranged it obediently and comfortably along the way, so that the villain didn't want to go back to the truth. When he arrived at the city, Fu Ke deliberately stayed with the villain for one more day, eating, drinking and having fun, and went around every good place in the city, just like a fairy. ”

Ma Zhanguo was finally amused by Wu Laosi, and said with a smile: "Wu Laosi, you don't want to think that Fu Ke and you have never known each other, and accompanied you to Qizhou, except for catching Yan Sun, there is nothing serious about it, why does he want to eat and drink well and entertain you?" ”

"Lieutenant Ma is much smarter than the villain, where did the villain think so much at that time? I thought that the villain really had a charismatic personality, or that the villain really looked a little heroic......"

Ding Ke couldn't help laughing and kicked Wu Laosi: "Are you still heroic?" But don't say it's like a parrot. ”

"Ding Zhutou said that it was a parrot, and it was a parrot." Wu Laosi scratched his ears and smiled, "Early the next morning, the villain wants to go back to Zhending, who wants to Fu Ke to come over early in the morning, saying that he wants to go with me all the way, he also wants to go to Zhending to do things, and he is not alone, there are two people accompanying him, one of them is Yan Sun, and the other is a rich businessman Dong Xian Dong, who is known to everyone in the city." ”

Wu Laosi was slightly excited: "The villain originally thought that Dong Yuanwai, as a giant businessman on the rich side, must be domineering, and he didn't want him to be not only very young, but also modest, soft-spoken, and repeatedly asked the villain to call him Dong Da, don't call him Dong Yuanwai, but let the villain be flattered." However, remembering that Fu Ke asked Yan Sun to seduce Dong Li's family, the villain felt sorry for Dong Xian, and had the heart to reveal a thing or two to Dong Xian, but he was always frightened by Fu Ke's gloomy gaze and Yan Sun's hinted gaze and didn't dare to say a word. ”

"Why did Dong Xian come to Zhending?" It turns out that there are so many things behind it, if it weren't for Xia Xianzun's interrogation of Wu Laosi again today, maybe these things would have been covered up, and Ma Zhanguo is now more and more sure that there must be someone behind Fu Ke's back, and if he wants to murder Dong Xian, he will never take such painstaking measures.

"Presumably, it was Fu Ke who asked Yan Sun to encourage Dong Xian, saying that there must be a business to do." Ding Ke probably understood Fu Ke's methods, "Winning Yan Sun is equivalent to winning Dong Xian." Yan Sun is Dong Xian's most trusted person, and whatever Yan Sun says, Dong Xian will definitely not suspect that there is a fake. ”

"What Ma County Lieutenant and Ding Zhutou said is extremely true, Fu Ke pretended to have a business with the villain, and Dong Yuanwai just listened to Yan Sun's words and wanted to come to check it out on the spot. If you purchase medicinal materials from Shile and go south to Quanzhou, if you take the dry road, the time is too long, not to mention, the cost is high. If you go to Zhending from the Hutuo River to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and take the waterway, it will be much better. Along the way, the director asked the villain about the profits of the medicinal herb business and the passage of the Hutuo River, and the villain knew everything and said everything. It can be seen that Dong Yuanwai is very interested in the medicinal herb business, and also said that he has decided to stop doing the granary and grain growing business, and will sell it and hand it over to someone else, so that most of his energy can be used to expand the medicinal herb business in the future......"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke didn't think much about it, but Xia Xiang's heart jumped suddenly when he heard this, it was a granary and a grain business, and he wanted to change hands, the new law was really unpopular with the people, and even the giant businessmen from all over the country didn't want to cooperate with the government anymore. It's just that Dong Xian wants to change hands on the granary and grain business, and the market is so happy, there must be someone willing to take over, could it be that someone else harmed him because of this?

Probably not, there should be a deeper secret in it.

Wu Laosi talked for a long time, a little thirsty, and stared at the teacup in Ding Ke's hand. Ding Ke scolded with a smile: "I still have to wait for you, yes, this catcher will invite you to a cup of tea." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Wu Laosi took the tea, drank it well, wiped his mouth and said, "Yan Sun stayed in Zhending for one day and went back, and Fu Ke and Dong Yuanwai stayed for another three days. When Fu Ke and Dong Yuanwai left Zhending, the villain went to see them off. The director half jokingly and half seriously told the villain that if the villain wanted to do something for him one day, he would definitely give the villain a monthly salary of ten yuan. The villain's current salary is only three times a month. The villain is very grateful for the appreciation of the villain by Dong Yuanwai, who knows that this farewell is goodbye. The villain was sorry for him, and the villain didn't know at first that Fu Ke wanted aconite and ephedra to poison Dong Yuanwai, but later learned that Dong Yuanwai drowned in the Hutuo River. Except for the poor directors, the medicinal herb business was wiped out before a single order was made. What kind of grievances do Fu Ke and Dong Yuanwai have? The villain has never heard him say that he has any trouble with Dong Yuanwai, why did he have to deliberately kill Dong Xian? ”

Xia Xiang almost sorted out his thoughts, and Fu Ke started with Yan Sun a year ago and approached Dong Xian. Sister Zhu wanted to coerce Yan Sun to seduce Dong Li - no wonder Dong Xuan said that Dong Li and Yan Sun had a personal relationship, I am afraid that Yan Sun and Dong Li really had a personal relationship. Presumably, Fu Ke wanted Yan Sun to seduce Dong Li's family, so that he would cause trouble and blame Yan Sun after the incident.

It was a well-designed and well-thought-out chess game. It's a pity that Dong Xian, although he has a lot of money and is kind to others, he was carefully calculated, and finally ended up with a tragic end of not seeing anyone alive or dead. Xia Xiang was extremely indignant in his heart, such a good person was harmed by the bad people's intentions, if he didn't avenge Dong Xian, he would read the sage book in vain, and become a parent official in vain!

Xia Xiang waved his hand: "Take Wu Laosi down." With Dong Xuan. ”

Ding Ke took the order and left, and after a short time, Dong Duan went to court.

"Dong Duan, when did you find out that Yan Sun and Dong Li had an affair?" Xia Xiang didn't wait for Dong to see the salute, and asked when he came up.

"It was about last winter." Dong Duan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said with great certainty, "That's right, it was last winter." Last winter, my brother went south to Quanzhou, and Xiaomin studied at home. Yan Sun claimed that he was going to Zhending to do something, and Xiaomin believed it. Early the next morning, Xiaomin woke up early, but when he pushed the door, he found that Yan Sun was tiptoeing out of the backyard, the backyard was the residence of his brother and Dong Li's family, it was an inner house, even Xiaomin usually didn't go often in order to avoid suspicion, Yan Sun came out of the backyard early in the morning, if he didn't have an adulterous affair with Dong Li's family, who would believe it? ”

"Why didn't you stop Yan Sun and ask him clearly?" Xia Xiang asked again.

"Alas, it was also Xiaomin who was confused for a while, and finally the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he had to pretend not to see it, and when the brother came back, Xiaomin hinted several times that the brother dismissed Yan Sun, but the brother refused." Dong Xuan's tears rolled down, "It's all because Xiaomin cares about face, if he had seen through Yan Sun and made a big fuss, maybe my brother wouldn't have suffered miserably." ”

Xia Xiang comforted Dong Xuan: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, the main reason for Dong Xian's death is not the personal relationship between Yan Sun and Dong Li." Dong Duan, who is going to sell the granary and grain growing business that Dong Xian cooperated with the government to sell to? ”

Dong Duan wiped a handful of tears and thought for a while: "I'm ashamed, Xiaomin only cares about studying, and doesn't ask about his brother's business, and vaguely heard that his brother said that he doesn't want to cooperate with the government anymore, and wants to change hands on the granary and grain business. It's just that it seems that the price has not been negotiated until the tragic death of my brother. ”

"In other words, the granary and grain growing business are still in the Dong family's trading house?" Xia Xiang's eyes lit up, and a strong thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Exactly." Dong Duan nodded, wondering why Xia Xianzun didn't continue to track down the real culprit behind Fu Ke, but he cared about the business of Dong's firm, could it be that as someone said, Xia Xianzun wanted to knock a fortune from it?

"Who's the dealer outside?" Xia Xiang asked again.

"Zhuang Feifei Zhuang is a wealthy businessman second only to his brother in Shile County, with fertile land, wealth like mountains, and a group of wives and concubines." Dong Duan looked at Ma Zhanguo, "Lieutenant Ma should know about Zhuang Yuanwai." ”

Ma Zhanguo nodded: "Xia Xianzun, Xia Guan has indeed heard a little about Zhuang Yuanwai. This person was not originally from the city music, I heard that he was from outside the Saiwai, stayed in the capital for a while, and then went south to the city music and took root in the city music. At first, he was mainly engaged in leather, horses, and ironware, but later he opened a large number of fields in Shiraku, and turned to cloth, timber and grain business, and is now said to be the largest landowner in Shile. In terms of financial resources, it may not be as good as Dong Xian on the surface. However, in the past, when the bankers were engaged in leather, horses and ironware, they brought leather and horses from outside the Saiwai and sold them in the interior, making dozens of times the profit. Selling iron tools in the mainland to outside the Cypriot Islands made dozens of times the profits. So no one can say how much money the dealer has outside the banker. If you talk about the fields alone, the city is unmatched. ”

"Similar to Liu Changting and Xie Huagai in this county?" Ding Ke asked.

"It's not the same. Although the origin of the banker is unknown, what kind of business he does is on the bright side. Liu Xie and the others, not only are their origins unknown and their identities unknown, but they are also secretive about what kind of business they do. Ma Zhanguo probably understood Xia Xiang's thoughts, "Xia Xianzun, do you need to leave for Shile immediately?" ”

Xia Xiang nodded and praised Ma Zhanguo's comprehension ability: "Lieutenant Ma, you take people and Dong Duan back to the city immediately, remember, protect Dong Duan's safety." Dong Duan, after you return to Shile, immediately start to take over the business of Dong's firm, be sure to control the overall situation, and don't let Dong's firm fall into the hands of others! ”

"But Xia Xianzun, Xiaomin can only study, not do business." Dong Duan's face was anxious.

"This official sent someone to go to Shile with you to help you take over the Dong firm." Xia Xiang made up his mind and ordered to go down, "Lieutenant Ma, you send someone to escort Dong Duan and Wang Xianke and his wife back to Shile, and the lady will go with you." Dong Duan and Wang Xianke arrived safely in Shile, you can return to Zhending first, and the lady will stay to help Dong Duan deal with the aftermath. ”

"Yes." Ma Zhanguo was very happy to receive the order, this going to Shile is equivalent to revealing the first step to track down the real culprit behind the scenes, and I don't know how Xu Xiancheng will feel if he knows that Xia Xian Zunming is asking him to investigate on his own, but in fact he is vigorously promoting this matter?

"Dong Xuan, you don't have to worry, Dong Xian's body, this official will definitely let people find it. Now if you want to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, taking over Dong's firm is the key to it. Remember, no matter who wants to meddle in the business of the Dong firm, don't agree for the time being. Also, listen to the advice of the lady in everything, and she will do her best to help you. Xia Xiang said a few more words.

"Xiaomin wrote it down." Dong Duan was extremely grateful for what Xia Xiang had done for him, Xia Xiang was dedicated to the public and selfless, he couldn't help it, and hinted, "Please rest assured, after Xiaomin takes over the business of Dong's firm, he will be rewarded." ”

"You're the official to help you for money?" Xia Xiang laughed, "Your generous report will be written down for the time being, and when the time comes, the official will be relieved to help the homeless and landless people." ”

"Xia Xianzun, what about the subordinates?" Ding Ke saw that Xia Xianzun did not arrange his own errands, so he couldn't help but be anxious, "His subordinates must also do their best." ”

"There's a place for you to help." Xia Xiang picked up an order sign, "Ding Zhutou listens to the order, this official orders you to call fifty civilian boats and one hundred boatmen to salvage from the place where Dong Xian fell into the water, and within three days, be sure to find Dong Xian's body." ”

"Yes!" Ding Ke was full of joy and took the order.

Subsequently, Xia Xiang retired from the hall, returned to the inner house, called Mantuo, and gave advice. When Mantuo heard that she asked her to help Dong Duan take over Dong's firm, she didn't even say no, she didn't know how to operate. Xia Xiang smiled and told her to calm down.

Not long after, Lian Ruohan was invited by Xiao Wu. In addition to her, Ling'er and Liu'er also came together. Ling'er is a close-fitting maid ring, and it is nothing to follow behind, but Liu Er is Xia Xiang's maid who lives idlely, and for some reason she also appeared in the county office.

Lian Ruohan smiled: "Liu Er had to come over to see Huanhuan, saying that she wanted to tell her some places that should be paid attention to when taking care of Xia Xianzun, and I thought of her kindness, so I brought her here." ”

Xia Xiang nodded and smiled: "Liu'er has a heart." It just so happens that Huanhuan is also there, and the two of you are close and close. ”

Lu Huanhuan responded, took Liu Er's hand, and the two went to the backyard with a smile.

"I don't know if Xia County summoned me to come, what are your orders?" Lian Ruohan knew that Xia Xiang asked Xiao Wu to urgently invite her to come to the county government to talk about it, and there must be important matters to discuss.

"There is one thing, I want to ask Sister Ruohan for help." Xia Xiang said about Mantuo and Ma Zhanguo escorting Dong Duan back to Shile, "Mantuo is going to Shile mainly to protect Dong Duan, and at the same time, he also has to secretly investigate some things. Dong Duan is a scholar who doesn't know how to do business, so he asked Ruohan's sister to send someone to accompany him to help Dong Duan sort out the accounts. ”

Lian Ruohan thought for a while: "Originally, I had a younger sister who was proficient in the way of business, but she helped me take care of my business in the capital, and she couldn't get out. If she is here, it would be better to accompany the lady to the city. ”

Xia Xiang wouldn't know that the sister Lian Ruohan mentioned was Xiao Jia who he was looking for, he shook his head and said, "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, there must be a suitable person?" ”

"There is one." Lian Ruohan's eyes lit up, and he remembered someone, "His name is Liancheng, and he is my housekeeper in Zhending...... Let him go with the lady of Manta to the city. Ling'er, you accompany Xiao Wu to live in idleness and call Liancheng. ”

Ling Er responded, turned around and went out, walked outside, and said to Xiao Wu, who was also following behind him, with a cold face: "Don't be so close to me, and don't lose it." ”

Xiao Wu smiled: "It's better to be closer, I'm really here, I don't know the way, what if I get lost?" ”

"You have such a smart nose that you can go home with a smell."

"I'm not a dog."

"Hey, you're a dog who follows everywhere you go."

"Well, I'm a dog, and dogs like to follow dogs the most."

"You!"

Xiao Wu and Ling'er's quarrel, Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan naturally couldn't hear it, even if they heard it, the two of them just laughed it off, and the two still had something to discuss.

"Now that I've met Xia Xianzun, I'm just going to leave in person today." Lian Ruohan smiled indifferently, "I'll enter Beijing early tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh?" Xia Xiang was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Lian Ruohan to return to Beijing a few days after coming to Zhending, "I'm in such a hurry to return to Beijing, but what's the urgency?" ”

"One is for Lu Zhiyue and Lu Langjun to serve as the chief bookkeeper, and the other is for ...... Take care of business. Lian Ruohan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth. It is one of them to go to the Ministry of Officials to accommodate Lu Zhiyue's affairs, and the second is that her father is doing business in Beijing and wants her to go to Beijing to see her. She knew that her father wanted to force her to marry Lu Zhiyue.
