Shi Hao looked at Fu Zhirong and a group of people walking out of the door, turned back to Fang Jinshi and said: "You have been provoking, deliberately not giving Mr. Meng Da face, nor giving face to his subordinates, in the final analysis, in fact, it is you who have nothing to do." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "At this time, I can see it, and the Queen Mother realizes it a little, how can I inherit my mantle with such ability?" ”

Shi Hao said: "You don't even ...... me now They all deliberately want me to be angry. He walked to the table, looked at Fang Jinshi's blackened credentials and said, "When Fu Zhirong presided over here, we couldn't get the money, and now it's him, this is called one report and one report, it's just ...... Didn't Mr. Meng Da think that he would touch a nail? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Mr. Meng wants to test our bottom line to see if there is any possibility of peace, if I pay the money smoothly, it will be easier for me to go down the ladder and do what I can do later." ”

Shi Hao smiled and said: "It's just that he didn't expect that you would be so faceless and stubborn to the end, but since he had the heart to reconcile, why didn't he send someone else to send Fu Zhirong?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "You also said that he used Cai Meng's hand to dispose of Fu Zhirong, and now it seems that he still wants to reuse Fu Zhirong, he asked Fu Zhirong to come, one tells Fu Zhirong, you are still my henchman, and second, if you send someone else, if I refuse, I can only Cai Meng personally go out, I will refuse to send Fu Zhirong, and you can also change someone else, there is always a buffer room." ”

Shi Hao listened to him and thought for a while before saying, "Since you already knew that Cai Meng would reuse the glory of wealth, why did you agree with me to let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "We are pressing step by step, Mr. Meng Da has no face, if he disposes of Fu Zhirong at this time, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of us?" Doesn't that chill the hearts of those who follow him? Mr. Meng Da has always been cautious and cautious, if he waits for me to make a mistake with a static brake, it will be extremely unfavorable for us, the glory of wealth is born as a bandit, and he has a good face, I beat and scolded like a dog, Cai Meng can endure it, and he can endure the glory of being rich? If he can't help it, Cai Meng just wants to wait and see what happens, but he can't do it. ”

After listening to his words, Shi Hao let out a long breath and said: "It turns out that you have already planned, and in the next step by step chess game, you have prepared to make the first move, I am really inferior to you." ”

His praise, Fang Jinshi did not get carried away this time, but asked calmly: "Cai Meng, with your observation for so long, does he have any weaknesses?" ”

Shi Hao thought for a while and said: "Cai Meng has always been elusive, no one knows where he goes, what he likes the most, he is very thoughtful and very urban, he is cautious and cautious, and I really can't see any weaknesses in him." ”

Fang Jinshi nodded and said: "Exactly, I recently found one of his previous rivals, Pingjiang Mansion mentioned some criminal prison secretary Wan Qiyu had a good chat with this Mr. Meng, and found that it is indeed difficult to deal with such a person, but the weakness, if it is a human being, it will have weaknesses, and Cai Meng's weakness is that he is too cautious and careful." ”

Shi Hao said: "What kind of weakness is this? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Why is a person too cautious, because he can't afford to lose, he will be afraid, he will be suspicious, he will hesitate, and he will lose a lot of opportunities, I am so provocative, Cai Mengning has lost face, and he also gave me the steps to let me stop and reconcile, what does it mean?" It means that he is afraid of me. ”

Shi Hao said: "What about you? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "If you play with him, the more scared he is, the more we have to make him unable to sleep, and if we don't force him to beg us for mercy, we won't win him." ”

Shi Hao saw that he was suddenly full of spirits, and his spirit was also lifted, and he said happily: "That's it, if you bring him down, this four-sea merchant will be ours." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "To bring him down, you need to cut his roots, and you have to wait until the big tree on his back falls." At present, it is okay to cut his wings so that he honestly does not dare to act rashly. ”

Shi Hao saw that he was full of confidence, and his heart became more and more admired, Fang Jinshi said again: "Let's start from the periphery first, it is indispensable to transport goods to do business, first bring the platoon to help Li Jiupo over, this is the first step at present, you ask Wang Gui to make another appointment with Li Jiupo for me, I must see him this time." ”

Shi Hao said: "Didn't Wang Gui say that he couldn't make an appointment after several appointments?" Li Jiupo has been cooperating with Mr. Meng Da, he must know that you and Mr. Meng Da are not in harmony, and he doesn't want to offend you directly, so he avoids it. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, he always has a place to stay, you tell Wang Gui and let him inquire clearly, and the three of us will visit in person tomorrow." ”

Shi Hao agreed, Fang Jinshi saw that it was not early, and promised Liang Cuirong that he would go home to sleep, so he should go back early, he specially went to buy a few good fabrics, and bought some snacks and fruits, which should be made amends.

When he returned home, he did not immediately go to the main house, but went to the back of the second courtyard to see the golden cotton, he just entered the door, walked to the porch, a handsome woman was carrying a wooden basin from the moon round door to come over, she saw Fang Jinshi, hurriedly turned around and retreated.

Fang Jinshi had already seen her, and hurriedly shouted: "Ling'er ......"

This woman is Qiao Ling'er, she heard Fang Jinshi call her, she slowly walked out with a wooden basin again, and walked cautiously in front of Fang Jinshi, and slowly blessed her: "Childe." ”

Fang Jinshi looked at her with a smile, Qiao Ling'er looked up at him, lowered her head, her cheeks were red for no reason, she was wearing a simple short-bodied shirt today, her trousers were rolled up high, and she looked very casual in the house, Fang Jinshi saw that there were some clothes in her wooden basin, thinking that she was about to go to the well in the front yard to wash her clothes.

Fang Jinshi smiled and asked, "Are you going to do the laundry?" ”

Qiao Ling'er said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I've been wearing my clothes for a day, can you help me wash them?" ”

He is joking, in fact, the women around him have never stopped, and he has to see some characters with heads and faces every day, he Fang Jinshi dresses brightly every day, and he is no longer too particular about it before.

Qiao Ling'er took it seriously, stepped forward and said, "You...... Take it off, and I'll wash it. ”

Fang Jinshi realized that it seemed that he hadn't seen her for a while, maybe Qiao Ling'er was deliberately avoiding him, although Qiao Ling'er was wooden and wooden, he was not a fool, he naturally had his own thoughts, Fang Jinshi laughed and said, "I just want to wash my clothes, and I also have to have clothes to change for me, forget it, I have something to say to you, go to your house." ”

Qiao Ling'er snorted, put down the wooden basin in her hand, but squatted down, and made a gesture to put down the trouser tube that was pulled up high, she felt that this was always unsightly, Fang Jinshi stepped forward, took her arm and pulled her up, and said: "In your own house, what to do with it, how comfortable it is, how to come." ”

Qiao Ling'er didn't insist anymore, got up and led Fang Jinshi to stand in front of a door in the corner, this is where she lives, Fang Jinshi pushed open the door and walked into the house, he has never been to the place where Qiao Ling'er lives, this room is very narrow, and there is not much room for a bed and a small table.

There was not a stool or anything in the room, not even a place to sit, Qiao Ling'er realized it, put down the wooden basin and said, "I'll go find a stool." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "No need. He walked to the bed and sat on the bed, just like in his own room, Fang Jinshi looked around, although the room was small, it was very clean and tidy, there was no dust on the window lattice, giving people a very comfortable feeling, this point, Qiao Ling'er and Xue Ling are very similar, they both belong to the kind of people who have time and can't be idle, Liang Cuirong is too busy, Huang Jinmian is too lazy, and the two of them are the kind of people who can get by if the house is tidy and tidy.

Qiao Ling'er took the teapot on the table and poured him a glass of water, Fang Jinshi took it and said, "You go find a stool to sit on." ”

Qiao Ling'er leaned against the table and said, "I'll just stand." ”

Fang Jinshi looked up at the roof and said, "This place is too small, I'll go back and ask her to change to a bigger room for you." Of course, she was Liang Cuirong when he said it, and Qiao Ling'er hurriedly said, "No need, this place is very good." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Why are you deliberately avoiding me? ”

Qiao Ling'er was taken aback and said, "How can there be ......?"

Fang Jinshi's face sank: "Still say no?" It wasn't me who stopped you, you disappeared again. ”

Qiao Ling'er was like a child who had made a mistake, bowed her head and said nothing, Fang Jin endured it for a moment with a slate on her face and laughed: "I'm teasing you, how can you be as nervous as a child." ”

Qiao Ling'er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, showed her tiger teeth and smiled slightly at Fang Jinshi, and said, "I...... I'm not nervous. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The last time I came back from Bianliang, I was busy with business, and I didn't have time to take you out, living in such a small place every day, it must be stuffy." ”

Qiao Ling'er said: "It's very good here, it's not boring at all." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Really? ”

Qiao Ling'er nodded silently, and Fang Jinshi said, "I have one thing, I want you to help, I don't know if you want to." ”

Qiao Ling'er raised her head and said, "Of course I ...... Willingly. She spoke in a lower tone, for although she was willing to do anything for him, she was afraid that she would be too enthusiastic for him to see through.

Fang Jinshi said: "This thing is not easy to do, the responsibility is heavy and very hard. ”

Qiao Ling'er said seriously: "No matter how difficult it is, I am not afraid." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Do you still remember, last time you saved me and burned a person to death?" ”

Qiao Ling'er's expression immediately became solemn, and she said, "...... Do you want to pay for your life? ”

Fang Jinshi said seriously: "Yes, now that the government is pursuing it, they want to arrest me and go to prison to give him his life, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Qiao Ling'er lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and said, "That person was killed by me, no matter what happens to you, I'll go and tell the people of the Yamen that if you want to cut off your head, you will also cut off my head." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "If the official of the yamen thinks that it is me, and you say that you killed it, and you have no evidence, who will believe you?" ”

Qiao Ling'er was angry all of a sudden, and said: "I ......" was speechless for a long time, she was honest by nature, and she didn't have much social experience, this kind of thing was really difficult for her, Fang Jinshi saw that her eyes were red, and she was about to cry, and her heart was greatly moved, he was originally just playing too hard, telling a joke to tease her, but at this time, he tried to find out that she was so sincere to him, he was in difficulty, Qiao Ling'er would immediately come forward to help, even if she lost her life, I was afraid that she would not hesitate, and wanted to change it to Liang Cuirong and Huang Jinmian, Maybe it will be forced to that extent, but Fang Jinshi is not sure in his heart, Xue Ling will definitely not.

Fang Jinshi felt that it would be too much to tease her any longer, so he said with a smile: "I'm playing with you, how can there be such a thing." ”

Qiao Ling'er was suddenly overjoyed, a smile appeared on her face again, and she asked a little unsurely: "Really?" ”

Fang Jinshi saw her expression change, his heart was moved, he reached out and shook her right hand, and said: "Naturally, it's true, even if there is such a thing, I will never let you be stabbed for me, I have always been a man here to protect women, how can there be a reverse reason, knowing that you are so good to me, I ...... I don't even know what to say. ”

Qiao Ling'er said to him that his heart was sweet, although he felt a little embarrassed to let him shake his hand, but he was reluctant to withdraw his hand from his palm.
