"My lord, Chen Mingzhi of the Chen family has rushed to Yangzhou City, judging from the current situation, those who were manipulated by Chen Renhai and set fire to the Jade Tower seem to be leaving Yangzhou."

In Yangzhou City, Li Mansion, a guard reported in a deep voice to Li Hongyu, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair under the grapevines, and Naren Toya was peeling grapes for Li Hongyu on the side.

"If you want to go, where is it so easy!"

Li Hongyu sneered when he heard this, and after swallowing the grapes in his mouth, he ordered in a deep voice, "Do it outside the city, don't alarm others." ”

"My subordinates understand." Hearing this, the guard bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and walked away quickly.

"Brother Yu, why did that Chen Renhai send someone to set fire to the Jade Tower?" Naren Toya put a peeled grape into Li Hongyu's mouth, and then asked with some puzzlement.

Because Naren Toya was too simple, Li Hongyu didn't want her to worry about his official duties, so he didn't tell her about official business, which made Naren Toya very curious about Chen Renhai's motive for arson.

"The reason why this kid dares to do this is because overseas trade has touched his interests, so he wants to sabotage this bidding conference."

Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and said to Naren Toya, "It's a pity that he was smart but was mistaken by being smart, this bidding conference is very important, how could your brother Yu be unprepared to let him succeed like this?" He had already sent someone to secretly monitor the movements of the Jade Tower, and found him out through the arsonist. ”

"Brother Yu, should Chen Renhai be arrested?" Hearing this, Naren Toya suddenly realized, and asked while peeling grapes, no wonder Li Hongyu has been relaxed since the fire in the Jade Building, it turns out that he has been prepared.

"He's just an arrogant kid, it's easy to catch him, but it's not a deterrent."

Li Hongyu shook his head and said to Naren Toya with a smile, "If you replace his father, then this weight will be enough." ”

"Brother Yu, are you going to arrest that Chen Mingzhi?" Naren Toya understood why Li Hongyu hadn't moved Chen Renhai all this time, and couldn't help asking.

"No, the official wants him to come to the door by himself!" Li Hongyu shook his head, a sly smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and after he caught those who set fire, he would let the people of the New Army openly monitor the Chen family's house in Yangzhou City, forcing Chen Mingzhi to come forward to solve the matter.

For Li Hongyu, it was not difficult to destroy the Chen family, and the evidence in the arson case was enough for him to arrest the Chen family father and son.

But then again, what can he do if he destroys the Chen family, and soon there will be forces such as the Zhang family and the Zhao family to fill the power vacancy brought about by the collapse of the Chen family.

Moreover, with the mediation of the Chen family, the local resistance of Ningbo's customs will be reduced a lot after the establishment of the customs.

Li Hongyu knew very well that the smuggling forces along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were rampant, and it was impossible for him to wipe out those forces as soon as he came up, so the two sides would definitely experience a period of coexistence, and he needed to ease the relationship with other smuggling forces through the Chen family.

Chen Mingzhi has only two sons, the eldest son Chen Renyang is said to be a talent, steady and shrewd, but unfortunately two years ago for some reason gave up the family business and became a fisherman who went to sea to fish.

Therefore, Chen Renhai has become the future heir of the Chen family, once Chen Mingzhi knows that Chen Renhai is targeted by Li Hongyu, he will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely find a way to protect Chen Renhai.

Chen Mingzhi has been in the business world for decades, and naturally knows that the most effective way at present is to meet Li Hongyu and plead with Li Hongyu, which is not only a father's nature to love his children, but also to get the Chen family out of the current predicament.

"Childe, the green sleeve girl of Jiangnan Oiran came to pay a visit, and now she is waiting in the front hall." The next morning, Li Hongyu was about to go out to the restaurant and teahouse to explore the movements of Yangzhou's business circles, when the doorman came to report with a famous poster.

"Oh?" Li Hongyu felt a little surprised, could it be that the Chen family had sensed something wrong, so they asked Green Sleeves to come and investigate?

"Brother Yu, why did Jiangnan Oiran come to you?"

Naren Toya was sorting out Li Hongyu's clothes, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard this, and there was a hint of vigilance in her expression, but she knew that Jiangnan Oiran was the most bewitching and beautiful woman in the Ming Dynasty, so she would naturally be hostile to her in her heart, but she didn't want the green sleeves to take Li Hongyu's soul away.

"She is Chen Renhai's concubine, and she is here to inquire about the news." Li Hongyu sensed Naren Toya's hostility towards Green Sleeves, so he explained with a smile.

"Brother Yu, I'll go with you, I've never seen the Oiran of Jiangnan." Naren Toya was immediately relieved when she heard this, but she was still a little uneasy, so she took Li Hongyu's hand and said softly while shaking it softly, wanting to show the status of the hostess to the green sleeves.

"Good!" Li Hongyu naturally knew Naren Toya's thoughts, so he smiled and reached out to scratch the bridge of Naren Toya's nose, anyway, he was not interested in Green Sleeves, and Naren Toya's words by his side could better hide his identity.

In the living room of the front yard, the green sleeves sit on the chair and leisurely taste the fragrant tea on the people, it is the best Longjing before the rain, originating from the Longjing Tea Village at the northwest foot of Wengjia Mountain in West Lake, it can be called the best in Longjing, and it is also the tribute tea of the palace, because of the scarcity of quantity, it is priceless in the market, and it is difficult to buy it in the market.

This made Green Sleeves realize that Li Hongyu, a small businessman from Huguang, still has some skills, at least in the communication with people, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, you must know that he can buy Longjing in Longjing Tea Village on the market, so he must have a friend who gave it to Li Hongyu.

In fact, Green Sleeves guessed wrong, Li Hongyu's arrival in Yangzhou was too short, and he was delayed by Yang Lier's matter, so he had not yet come into contact with that kind of high-level famous businessman, nor did he have a close relationship with the newly acquainted businessman, so naturally he couldn't get this precious Longjing tea.

In fact, the West Lake Longjing tea in Longjing Village was given to Lord Qincha by the merchants of Yangzhou, and it was naturally secretly sent to Li Hongyu here, just so that Li Hongyu could use it to support the façade.

"Li Gongzi!" When they were sipping tea, Li Hongyu and Naren Toya walked in, and when Green Sleeves saw this, he put down the teacup and smiled and blessed Li Hongyu, and then his eyes fell on Naren Toya, not knowing whether Naren Toya was Li Hongyu's wife or concubine.

"Greensleeve Girl." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, arched his hand to the green sleeves, and introduced Naren Toya beside him, "This is Yu'er, my fiancée." ”

"Miss Yu'er." The green sleeves then blessed Naren Toya and gave a greeting gift.

"Greensleeve Girl." Naren Toya has been looking at Green Sleeves, seeing that he is gentle and charming, especially with a delicate body that makes men care for him, he can't help but have an instinctive vigilance against Green Sleeves, and he returned a salute to Green Sleeves with a somewhat cold expression.

"Li Gongzi, the little woman took the liberty to visit this time because she asked for something."

Green Sleeves originally felt that Naren Toya didn't look like a woman from the Han family, but after listening to her blunt Chinese, she immediately understood that she was a fangirl, but she didn't know which fan clan she came from, but she didn't mind this kind of thing, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile:

"Gongzi is talented, and his attainments in poetry and song are rare in the world, so the little girl wants to ask Li Gongzi to teach Xiao Qinhuai the kind of new style of music, and I hope that Li Gongzi can give him advice."

"The green-sleeved girl has won the award, she is just doing it casually, the girl is the music and rhythm everyone, how dare you get an axe in the next class?"

Li Hongyu laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to signal the green sleeves to sit down, and then said, "Since the green sleeve girl is interested, then we can have a discussion, the green sleeve girl is the Jiangnan Oiran, and you can just get a glimpse of the girl's demeanor below." ”

"This is not true, the little woman just studied the song and dance tunes left by her predecessors, and the son found another way to create a new style of music, in front of the child, the little woman is like a grain of rice starlight, how can she compete with the bright moon?"

Green Sleeves shook his head when he heard this, looked at Li Hongyu solemnly and said, he admired Li Hongyu a lot in his words, compared with her, Li Hongyu can be described as a general figure who founded the mountain, and she is naturally ashamed of herself.

"It's just a fluke down there, the girl doesn't have to mind." Li Hongyu waved his hand disappreciatively when he heard this, a look of shame flashed on his face, where did he create a new style of music, but he just learned from the achievements of later generations.

Green Sleeves also laughed when she heard this, Li Hongyu is kind and polite, the key is that her eyes are clear and mellow, and she doesn't have lust for her like other men, she likes to deal with people like Li Hongyu.

However, Green Sleeves also felt a little disappointed that she failed to attract Li Hongyu, after all, as an Oiran in Jiangnan, there has been no man since her debut who has not been tempted by her beauty.

Green Sleeves won't know, although she has an excellent appearance, but if you really want to compare, she is slightly better than Naren Tuoya and Rou'er, on par with Qin Yue, not to mention Zhu Wanting, not to mention Zhao Xin, who is jealous of men in men's appearance, so her appearance does not have the slightest advantage in front of Li Hongyu.

The most important thing is that Li Hongyu is not a womanizer, and he has a heavy responsibility, so he naturally will not waste time flirting with women.

Green Sleeves was the first time to visit, and naturally brought a rich meeting gift, silk and satin, pearls and gemstones, and several large boxes, which showed that he was wealthy.

Li Hongyu was very enthusiastic about Greensleeves' visit, not only learned music with her, but also set up a sumptuous luncheon to entertain her.

Of course, his purpose in doing this was to get in touch with the Chen family through Green Sleeves, and the more news about the Chen family for him, the better.

Li Hongyu noticed that Green Sleeves deserved to be the Oiran of Jiangnan, no matter the talent, skills or scheming were first-class, and a short contact lifted Naren Toya's hostility towards her, and followed Naren Toya to learn Mongolian dance, and also taught Naren Toya Jiangnan dance music.

In fact, as you can tell from her name, Greensleeves is best at dancing, and she won the last Oiran tournament with her fantastic dance moves that made me feel enchanted.

Through getting along with Green Sleeves, Naren Toya gradually felt that Green Sleeves was not as annoying as she thought, and soon developed a crush on her, and the two had a happy scene together.

At this moment, Green Sleeves would never have thought that due to Chen Renhai's reckless actions, a catastrophe for the Chen family had quietly come.
