Chapter 207: Cao Si

Talking about sleep and sleep, it was close to noon when Wang Ning woke up again.

The sun is shining and the wind is dying.

After a simple wash, Lu Rong had already ordered food for him downstairs, and after the same simple breakfast, he was still accompanied by Lu Rong and went to the street.

He was still satisfied with the conversation with Zhang Jian yesterday, and originally planned to go to see the mulberry garden under his name again, but he didn't want to be disturbed by Chen Yuying, but he lost his interest.

Walking on the street is also aimless, Lu Rong may have something in his heart, otherwise he would not accompany him so wasted.

Hangzhou is similar to Jiangning, many things have been experienced in Jiangning, and there is no special thought when I get here, and I see that the days will be as boring as before.

In a teahouse somewhere, Wang Ning drank the Longjing on the shop and praised: "This is the real Longjing, whether this place is closer, it will be more mellow to drink."

Lu Rong said: "Maybe it's because of the water."

Wang Ning nodded, put down the small teacup in his hand, and smiled: "The reason why I drink tea here is to give you a chance to speak, if you have anything, just say it, there will be no such shop in this village."

Lu Rong smiled: "Sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking about the owner...... "His face was grim and he got down to business, "There was a problem with the grain that was shipped to Jiangning before."

"What's the problem?"

"The news from there says that someone has robbed me, but I don't believe it."

Wang Ning said again: "When was that?"

"It's been a few days, and I only remembered it today, and I saw that the owner was still resting, so I didn't bother."

Wang Ning paused: "How much did you lose?"

"Ten thousand stones."

Wang Ning sighed, "Since you said that you weren't robbed, what do you think is going on?" ”

Lu Rong said: "This matter is my fault." A touch of apology appeared on the fat face, "Boss, this time I don't know anyone, and my subordinates are thinking." ”

"Why do you say that?"

Lu Rong said: "I also knew that there were such people under my hands who betrayed the lord and sought glory." took out a letter and handed it to Wang Ning.

Wang Ning took it and looked at it for a while, her eyes condensed slightly: "Cao Yunsi's letter?"

Lu Rong nodded: "I knew about this matter a few days ago, and I happened to have some connections on Caoyun's side, so I wrote to ask."

"Heh, I knew it a few days ago, but why did you only tell me now?"

Lu Rong smiled bitterly: "The whereabouts of the owner were uncertain before, but I didn't remember it for a moment in the past few days, if it wasn't for someone who sent this letter today, I wouldn't have remembered it." It's easy

"Hey, I can't be stingy when I see you on weekdays, but I can't hold my breath when something so big happens." Wang Ning joked, and said: "If the letter is true, then it seems that I have to go to the Caoyun Division, I don't care much about the 10,000 stone grain, but I am very interested in this person who dares to conspire with the government."

Speaking of this, he smiled, but it looked a little crazy in Lu Rong's ears, Wang Ning then said: "My money doesn't come for nothing, nor does it come from a gust of wind, if you want to take my money, you have to do things for me, but any other way doesn't work with me, of course I don't mind accepting it."

Lu Rong's fat face trembled, the horror in his eyes flashed, and he persuaded: "Dongjia, I'm afraid it's ......."

Wang Ning said: "I'm afraid it's a bit too much?" He leaned closer and whispered, "In front of me, I won't bother to say so much."

Just do it, call Xiao Er over, pay for the tea, the two left the teahouse, asked where the Hangzhou Caoyun Division was on the way, and walked over there.

Lu Rong tried to say something good along the way, thought about it and thought about it, he was very concerned about what Wang Ning said just now, and seeing that he was about to reach his destination, he finally said it, and said with a bitter face: "Dongjia, he may have some kind of trouble in doing this, you hand him over to me, I will definitely give you an explanation after I figure out what happened."

Lu Rong's panicked look fell in Wang Ning's eyes, and Wang Ning sighed: "What does he have to do with you?" You're so protective of him, I'd think you're involved in it. ”

Lu Rong's face turned pale, and he felt indescribably bitter in his heart, if he wanted to say something, Wang Ning had already left first, and he had no choice but to follow, and he suddenly felt very lucky that he had concealed it before. Seeing that he couldn't persuade Wang Ning now, he could only pin his hopes on Su Xiaoyan in Jiangning.

At this time, there should have been a deal over there, and it stands to reason that the result of this matter should be about to arrive in Hangzhou.

Originally, he thought that this was a very influential matter after all, and he should give Wang Ning a breath, and he didn't want to give Wang Ning the idea that he was cutting first and then playing, but he didn't expect it to be early.

Cao Yun is a very important part of the process of material exchange between the north and the south of the new dynasty, so there are Cao Yun divisions in various parts of the south to deal with all matters. Regardless of the north and south, Caoyun is a shortage of fat, so it is also easy to breed "moths", although the imperial court has a great crackdown, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is always a place that cannot be taken into account.

During this time, Wang Ning rented a ship in Hangzhou in order to raise grain, but most of the ships from the south had to go through "layers of inspection", which also involved several yamen, especially in the south, because of the strict inspection of illegal salt, often as long as the ships going north did not let go, there were so-called "joints" that needed to be opened.

In order not to delay Sun Heng, Wang Ning specially asked Lu Rong to send someone close to him to take charge of this matter, but he didn't expect that in the end, he was "robbed" of the goods.

It stands to reason that this should have nothing to do with the Cao Yun Division, but the ones who run on this canal are all under their control, and they have just left the checkpoint set by the Cao Yun Division and were hijacked.

However, Wang Ning couldn't even enter the door in the end, and waited for half an hour before leaving.

Lu Rong looked at Wang Ning's face when he left, and his heart became more and more unpleasant, intuitively, he felt that something was going to happen, and all he could do at the moment was to guard Wang Ning every day, lest he explode.

Wang Ning returned to the inn, and Lu Rong called tea and brought it in.

Before he could speak, he heard Wang Ning ask him: "Although there are water thieves in that area, I don't believe that there are so many ships passing by, and they will target my little grain for no reason......" Wang Ning snorted coldly, "They asked the people from the inspection department to take action, and I won't say anything if they detain my boat."

Speaking of this, Wang Ning sighed and instructed: "This matter will be handled by you, if you can't give me a satisfactory result in the end, I'm afraid you don't want to do it."

Lu Rong didn't expect this to be the result, Wang Ning, who was still pleasant not long ago, suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize people, this contrast is a little weird.

He went through this matter in his mind, and he didn't feel that anything touched Wang Ning's scales.

After thinking about it, he didn't know anything about the owner in front of him.

In response, he retreated, and some of the problems reflected in this incident also touched his scales.

So something had to be done.
