Chapter 557: Jia Pingzhang VS Pu Shougeng
"Girl, ...... your legs?"
The staggering woman slammed her spirit, and as soon as she raised her head to meet the sharp gaze in front of her, she instantly staggered her gaze and responded in a respectful whisper, "Back to my lord, the little woman is reckless, and she didn't notice any changes in her family five years ago...... Bitten by a dog. ”
Gao Hu's eyes suddenly froze when he heard this.
"No wonder. I look at you so familiarly......"
He turned slowly, but the messy pace betrayed his panic.
I don't know how long I walked, Gao Hu listened to the wheezing sound behind him, and suddenly turned around, "Master Pu, I'll help you." ”
The woman propped herself on a bamboo pole and shook her head with difficulty, "Thank you, Lord Gao...... No...... Need not. ”
Gao Hu laughed loudly, he clenched his sword tightly, and the green tendons clinged to the back of his scarred hand like an angry dragon, "Master Pu, you better not act, this woman you play is too ugly, how can you sneak in here." ”
The sky had completely darkened, and there were only a few scattered people on the street, and the silence was unusual, not even shouting, only the whirring wind was willing to linger for a moment in this winter city.
The cacophony of the soldiers' armor and branches staggered awakened him, and he looked up to see the mansion in front of him in the dimness.
It used to be the mansion of their Pu family.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the mockery in his eyes almost overflowed.
Gao Hu looked at him for a moment, "We've been looking for you for a long time. ”
If Gao Hu hadn't talked to him just now, he would have thought that this person was just a walking corpse, how could he be the wealthy businessman on the rich side before.
His eyes were too dim, like a silent stagnant water, no matter the wind and rain or the sky cracking, it could not stir up a wave. The fat body was hidden in a wide sleeved robe, and the wind howled like dead leaves, crumbling.
He walked calmly to the door, but his body trembled incessantly.
He had been gone for so long that he felt like he had finished his life.
Gao Hu turned around and waved to his subordinates, who dispersed silently.
The mansion was so quiet that if it hadn't been for a few servants walking by, one would have thought it was an empty house.
No one came up to him to ask where he was from, and the latter did not hesitate to go straight to the room directly opposite him.
When it was approaching, there was a woman's babbling in the house, and Wu Nong's soft tone was full of charming.
He paused in his steps, entered the house calmly, saluted, and kowtowed without humility or arrogance, "The grass people knock to see Lord Pingzhang." ”
Jia Rudao looked at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Pu, do you know that when you leave, I will be worried." ”
Jia Rudao was very handsome and had an amiable smile, but the words that came out of his mouth were frighteningly cold, "Master Pu, you make me feel so sad, if you say goodbye so much, of course I won't let you go." ”
"The five hundred and seventy-two people of your Quanzhou Pu family have died cleanly."
As soon as Jia Rudao's voice fell, he stared at the other party for a moment, not letting go of any fluctuation on his face.
However, this Mr. Pu did not obey his wishes, he only moved his lips slightly, and replied indifferently, "Lord Pingzhang doesn't have to tell me specifically, what do those people in the Pu family in Quanzhou have to do with me?" Speaking of which, Lord Heizhang should have killed me too, so that he could be considered a clean kill. ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Jia Rudao's mouth, but his eyes were clearly cold to the bone, "Mr. Pu, you used to be a person I valued very much, and I don't want to hear this kind of angry words." He chuckled softly, "You and I shouldn't be so angry. ”
Gao Hu listened to their conversation and felt very strange, from the moment that person first came in, Jia Nidao had been testing the other party, he tilted his head, felt ridiculous, and thought about what kind of virtue and ability this person could make the powerful Jia Nidao remember.
"Lord Heizhang, I don't want to talk about what happened five years ago. But you still didn't let me go. He raised his neck, revealing an old scar that was sinuous and red.
"Well, it was a last resort. I wanted to support Brother Ling, but for some reason, he refused my kindness, and your brother knows so many things, I can only do this. Actually, I have a lot of importance to you, but you forced me to go another way. ”
Hearing the name Pu Shougeng, Gao Hu suddenly realized.
The Pu family is an overseas businessman, after coming to Quanzhou, monopolized the overseas trade of Quanzhou spices for decades, and said that "to go to and from the sea with good Jia, resulting in a huge production of tens of thousands, thousands of domestic servants." The Pu family has a large number of sea vessels, and the pirates are in Quanzhou, and the Pu family organizes a fleet to fight, "breaking it and killing thousands of thieves", which shows the strength of its power.
But now, the Pu family has been wiped out from Quanzhou.
Pu Shougeng nodded along with his words, and said seriously, "What Lord Pingzhang said is that everyone has their own troubles. ”
Jia Rudao suddenly smiled, his jaw tightened, and his voice was extremely cold, overpowering the cold wind seeping in from outside the house, "Why do you have to go against me?" Xia Gui is just a stupid miser, why are you helping him hide his wealth? As far as I know, the property of your Pu family in Quanzhou has long been rich and rivals the country, and even the household department of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be compared. ”
Pu Shougeng's breath stagnated, his fists clenched, and Wulan's expression finally cracked, "Sure enough, you have been eyeing the Pu family for a long time." ”
"It's not a secret, the Northern Captives are very anxious to attack my Great Song Dynasty this time, I personally led the troops to the north to aid Xiang, in fact, it is a desperate gamble, in case the army is defeated, the next capital I choose for the Great Song Dynasty is Quanzhou." Jia Rudao looked at his yielding look, raised his eyebrows, the yin owl in his eyes eased a little, he casually blew the white mist rising from the teacup, and his face was also covered up, "I originally planned to let you be the pacification envoy of Fujian, but unfortunately ......"
"You don't have to tell me this, because they're already a thing of the past." Pu Shougeng said, "Now the siege of Xiangfan has been resolved, the Beiyu has been defeated and retreated, I heard that the Beiyu Khan also bent his knees to Pingzhang to sue for peace, return the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, Xu to the Huai River as the boundary, Pingzhang has built an immortal achievement, there is no ancient, no one will come after, no one can shake the status, I am not the previous Pu Shougeng, and there is no use value, Pingzhang does not have to play with me." He sneered and continued, word for word, "There is no point in saying this to a dying person. ”
After saying this, he himself was a little overwhelmed, because in the past ten years, he had never said anything excessive.
Restraint and forbearance were his creed.
But who is to blame for his final situation?
Jia Rudao smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It seems that although you are hiding in Tibet, you are still very well informed, and you even know about the peace talks between the Beiyu Khan and me."
