(Recommended reading: The officials of the Yangzhou Mansion quickly checked after the fire in the Emerald Building was extinguished, and came to the conclusion that it was arson, which means that someone deliberately set fire to the Emerald Building.

This made the outside world feel shocked by this, and it was obvious that this was a bid for the quota of overseas trade suppliers of the Customs Department, and it was a blatant provocation to the Customs Department and Lord Qincha.

For this reason, Lord Qincha, who lived in the Yangzhou Mansion, was enraged and had already sent a message that he would not restart the bidding for overseas trade suppliers until the arsonist was found, nor would he leave Yangzhou.

The prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture was under tremendous pressure for this, so that the officials of the government poured out of the nest to find the arson murderer in the whole city, and Yangzhou Wei also sent soldiers to help solve the case, which made Yangzhou City restless.

Although the people of Yangzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Wei investigated the case with great fanfare in Yangzhou City, people did not have much hope for the result, since the other party dared to set fire, it must have been carefully planned, and it had strong forces, it was not easy to find out.

Therefore, in the end, the Yangzhou government must have found a few scapegoats to close the case, is it really necessary to let Lord Qincha wait stupidly in Yangzhou City? At that time, if the Wanli Emperor is angered, the officials in Yangzhou City will be unlucky.

Li Hongyu is not in a hurry, anyway, he still has time, just follow the other party to play, and at the same time want to know what the businessmen in Yangzhou City think about this matter.

The flow of news between merchants is very fast, restaurants, teahouses and green buildings are the places for the exchange of information in various business districts, with the fire of the Jade Building, everyone is even more optimistic about overseas trade, which makes some businessmen who are interested in overseas trade discouraged.

Obviously, the overseas trade has not yet started to be strongly provoked by the smugglers, and if the overseas trade is really opened, the smugglers will definitely fight back, which makes the merchants feel worried.

Although the merchants in Yangzhou City did not know what Li Hongyu's strength was, they knew that the smuggling merchant group was not easy to provoke, otherwise, the imperial court's strict investigation of overseas smuggling for so many years would not only have no effect, but would have gradually increased the power of the smuggling merchant group.

Therefore, as long as there is a smuggler group, the overseas trade road of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be full of thorns, and the silver invested in it will definitely be in vain.

After figuring out the mentality of the merchants, Li Hongyu knew that he was going to fight a counterattack in Yangzhou City, and used practical actions to appease the merchants in Yangzhou City, so that they could see the hope that overseas trade could run smoothly.

In a luxurious house.

"Didn't I tell you before you came, you have to keep a low profile in Yangzhou City, who let you take it upon yourself to send someone to burn the Jade Tower? Are you slapping Lord Chincha in the face, how can Lord Chincha step down? ”

In the living room in the backyard, a richly dressed middle-aged man angrily reprimanded a handsome young man standing in front of him, with a look of hatred on his face.

"Dad, there are many people in the city who are interested in the overseas trade led by the imperial court, if they don't give them a little bit of power, they are likely to pay for the supplier quota, and then the Customs Department will have money in their hands to deal with us."

The handsome young man was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and defended in a loud voice, "Dad, this matter is a matter of our life and death, and we must be tough, so that those who want to take advantage of the opportunity will retreat." ”

"You know!"

The middle-aged man's face sank when he heard this, and he pointed to the handsome young man and said, "Dad taught you in vain before, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, you are good, even the dignified Lord Qincha dares to provoke, this time you can offend him to death, how to deal with him in the future." ”

"Dad, it's just a chaplain, why are you afraid of him?"

The handsome young man sneered disdainfully when he heard this, and said to the middle-aged man in high spirits, "Since ancient times, there are clouds, strong dragons do not suppress the head of the snake, the Customs Department has no roots here, if it annoys us, he will not even be able to get out of the sea, and then those of them who are officials will not have to come to us obediently for the sake of black yarn hats!" ”

"Nonsense!"

When the middle-aged man saw that the handsome young man looked down on the Customs Department, he was immediately furious, stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard, and reprimanded loudly, "How did Dad teach you before, don't underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the enemy, you don't even pay attention to Lord Qincha, you don't want to think about it, Lord Qincha can be reused by the emperor at a young age, is it an idle person?" ”

"Alas! If you had known that you would have let your eldest brother come, you wouldn't have caused such a big trouble! ”

Saying that, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh, "How can I have you two unfilial sons, one would rather fish than take over the family's business, and the other arrogant and arrogant Lord Dalian Qincha dare to provoke!" ”

"Dad, if we don't give Lord Qincha a dismissal, we may not be arrogant in front of us in the future, we have to let him know that this is our territory, how to act is up to us, only by cooperating with us in overseas trade can it be carried out, otherwise everything will be in vain."

”

Hearing the middle-aged man mention "big brother", the handsome young man's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of resentment, and then he opened his mouth to comfort, "Dad, anyway, Lord Qincha doesn't know who set the fire, and the people from the government will definitely take a few ghosts to close the case." ”

"I hope so!" The middle-aged man glared at the handsome young man when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly, hoping that this turmoil would pass as soon as possible.

"You stay at home these days, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Then, the middle-aged man commanded the handsome young man in a deep voice, lest he provoke trouble.

"My son wrote it down." Hearing this, a depressed look flashed in the eyes of the handsome young man, and he bowed to the middle-aged man and left.

"Alas, it's so unpleasant!"

Looking at the back of the handsome young man, the middle-aged man sighed again, the handsome young man only remembered that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, but he forgot that it was not a raptor but Jiang, thinking that Li Hongyu won the top prize at a young age and turned the tide on the battlefield in Liaodong, how could he be an idle person?

Therefore, the handsome young man's act of letting people set fire to the Jade Building is really too reckless, and he offended Lord Qincha to death as soon as he came.

Indeed, things are as the handsome young man said, after the establishment of the Customs Department, there is no root and no power in the local area, but it is the emperor's direct yamen, and the county order that broke the family and the order Yin who destroyed the door are talking and playing, especially an official like Lord Qincha, who is deeply valued by the emperor and young at the same time, if he really wants to be in a hurry, he really dares to find a reason to raid the house.

Even if the middle-aged man has help in the officialdom of the capital, he can't quench his thirst from far away, and when the power of the capital is exerted, the daylilies will be cold, and they have been killed by Lord Qincha.

Therefore, it is a wise saying that the people do not fight with the officials, at least they cannot explicitly provoke the officials of the imperial court, and they are also the celebrities in front of the emperor, which is a big taboo.

However, the wood is already in the boat, and the middle-aged man has nothing to do about it, no matter how annoyed the middle-aged man is, what he has to do now is to wait, hoping that this matter can pass smoothly.

A small courtyard in an elegant setting.

In the gazebo, a beautiful young woman in a green dress is playing the piano, if you listen carefully, you will find that she is playing the song "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" that Li Hongyu sang on Xiao Qinhuai that night.

The piano skills of the woman in the green dress are much higher than Li Hongyu, after all, Li Hongyu has not practiced hard in this, and the woman in the green dress has learned music and rhythm since she was a child.

"Green Sleeves, I'm going to stay at home these days, and I can't go out with you to play." The handsome young man walked up and grabbed the slender waist of the woman in the green dress from behind, "I know that you want to learn music with that Li Sheng, I have already found out his residence, and I will let someone take you there tomorrow." ”

"Thank you." Green Sleeves was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked her sweetly, she was the one who praised Li Hongyu's green sleeves on Xiao Qinhuai that night, and the handsome young man was naturally Chen Renhai who was with Green Sleeves.

"Xianggong, why did the master come from Ningbo in a hurry?" Then, Greensleeves remembered something and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nothing, for some business." Chen Renhai smiled disappreciatively, and said lightly, he didn't want Green Sleeves to worry.

"Xianggong, who is that Li Gongzi?" Greensleeves breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked with interest.

From the sad and resolute "Magnolia Words" alone, she can clearly feel that Li Hongyu's literary talent is rare in the world, and now there are very few people who can make such good words, not to mention the song "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" that is both heart-wrenching and reverberating, and at the same time unique and refreshing, this is not a song that ordinary people can make!

Therefore, Green Sleeves was full of curiosity about Li Hongyu, and wanted to learn from Li Hongyu and learn the peculiar style created by Li Hongyu, which opened her eyes and invisibly raised the realm of music and rhythm to a higher level.

"I inquired, that Li Sheng is a small businessman in Xiangyang Mansion, Huguang, mainly engaged in the cloth business." Chen Renhai smiled and said, "If he is really talented in resignation, then Xianggong doesn't mind helping him in business." ”

"Thank you." Green Sleeves smiled when she heard this, and thanked Chen Renhai again, she couldn't wait to learn from Li Hongyu.

At the same time, the Yitang, one of the five major branches of the Cao Gang in Yangzhou City.

"Waste, how many days have I not found that girl, what do you want?" In the Juyi Hall, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties yelled at several big men standing in front of him, he was Tie Shan, the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang.

Because his subordinates were unable to catch Yang Li'er for a long time, Zhang Tieshan personally rushed to Yangzhou to sit in the town, and Yang Li'er would not be at peace for a day if he was not caught.

"Deputy gang leader, will the eldest lady be hidden by the fifth master?"

At this time, a big man standing at the front hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, if someone can and will save the injured Yang Li'er from the Wanhuatang surrounded by people from the government, then only Qin Wuye, who has close concerns about Yang Xiaotian.

"Qin Lao Wu is a smart person, he won't get into trouble at this time." Zhang Tieshan frowned when he heard this, and then said expressionlessly to the few big men standing in front of him, "Lord Qincha is in the city, so that girl must be there, you cheer up and check it out for me, if anyone can find her hiding place, this deputy gang leader will be rewarded." ”

Hearing this, several big men bowed to Zhang Tieshan and left in a hurry.

"Brother, I didn't expect Lord Qincha to not kill Yang Xiaotian, it's a pity." After those people left, a big man who sat in the first seat under Zhang Tieshan said with regret that he was the righteous advocate Tie Niu, Zhang Tieshan's own brother.

The reason why Zhang Tieniu has such feelings is because the Cao gang who "assassinated" Li Hongyu last time was sent by Zhang Tieshan, and its purpose was of course not to really assassinate, but to provoke Li Hongyu to kill Yang Xiaotian, but unfortunately Yang Xiaotian did not seem to be affected.

"It seems that Lord Qincha is not as easy to deal with as we thought." Zhang Tieshan's brows furrowed, and then he commanded in a deep voice, "If you keep an eye on Lord Qincha these days, maybe that little girl will go to Lord Qincha." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely keep an eye on Lord Qincha, as long as that little girl appears, I will take it down."

Zhang Tieniu nodded solemnly, as long as Yang Xiaotian is excluded, then Zhang Tieshan will be the new leader of the Cao Gang, which is what he dreamed of.

As everyone knows, Zhang Tieshan has made a big mistake, which will make him chagrined in the future.
