Chapter 271: The Iron Lady's Wrist
What did the robbers want to do, at a glance, Zhu Xiu chuckled in his heart, and quickly jumped out of the carriage. No matter how much money you pay, you can't let these gangs of bandits see the second lady, if you see the beauty of the second lady, will these bandits still only need money and no one?
"Guys, if you have something to say, this is my lady in the car!" Saying that, Zhu Xiu laughed with him and took out all the money he was carrying, "Heroes, this money is here, my lady is infected with the cold, so don't frighten her." ”
A guy who looked like the leader took the money bag and turned it upside down, and smiled disdainfully, "Is grandpa really a fool who has never seen the world?" If you go to Zhongmu to buy goods, you will bring this money? Is the money hidden in the wagon? Brothers, search for me! ”
At the sound of an order, several strong men rolled up their sleeves and were about to search the carriage, Zhu Xiu was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to be careful, so he handed out the Jiaozi in his arms in three or two, "Good man, that's all." ”
took the hand and nodded, and the leader also muttered to himself, this guy saw that he was going to search the carriage, and immediately took out more than a thousand guan, could there be something in the carriage that is more important than this thousand guan?
"Brothers, look at what's in the carriage" As soon as the leader's voice fell, several strong men walked towards the carriage, and then Zhu Xiu couldn't help it, stretched out his arms, and several family members behind him also surrounded the carriage, "This leader, you are blocking the road, just asking for some money, and now that the money has been given to you, don't go too far, right?" ”
The more Zhu Xiu stopped like this, the more curious the leader became, he clenched his fist and kicked Zhu Xiu's lower abdomen. Eat under the pain. Zhu Xiu clutched her stomach and wailed. "Protect the carriage."
A few members of the Zhu family stood by the carriage and scuffled with a few strong men. It's a pity that they are the opponents of these strong men, and they were put to the ground after a while. The two men rushed into the carriage and lifted the curtain to look inside, and the people trembled. The leader was also curious, and shouted a little anxiously, "Three pillars, what the hell are you doing, what's in there." I mean! ”
"There's a mother here at the head, it's so good-looking"
"What's that?" The leader heard the clouds, and was angry, walked to the side of the car, stretched out his hand and dragged the two guys who were pouting and looking down, and poked his head in, and the leader was also stunned.
I saw a delicate beauty, this woman has beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, slender eyelashes, fluttering, very cute. It's really a fairy descending to earth. Delighted, the leader reached out and pulled the cloth out of the woman's mouth.
"You thieves. Do you know who I am? Hurry up and let me go, or let my sister know, and I will definitely kill none of you! ”
As soon as Zhu Fengying could speak, she scolded viciously, and the leader was also very puzzled, what the hell is going on? Anyway, he also saved the beauty, right? Listening to it a little annoying, the leader simply stuffed the cloth ball back, and then stretched out his hand to resist Zhu Fengying on his shoulder, "Haha, God is really enough to take care of Lao Tzu, not to mention the money, but also to send a big beauty." ”
Zhu Xiu didn't care about the pain, and took two steps forward to hug the leader's waist, "Good man, if you have something to say, how about letting people go first?" ”
"Get out, you say let it go, who do you think of Lao Tzu? Come on, pull this old thing aside! ”
"You are in charge, we are from the Fuxiang Zhu family, I think you have also heard of the name of the eldest lady of my family, if you take the second lady of my family away, the eldest lady will not let you go."
In the area of Gyeonggi Road, there are really not many people who have not heard of Mrs. Zhu, let alone bandits who block the road and rob them? The more bandits, the more they need to know who can be offended and who can't be offended, just Fu Xiang's Zhu family can't be offended, offended the court, the court at most sent troops to encircle and suppress, but offended the Zhu family, then the Zhu lady can use any means.
Most of the bandits were unwilling to be enemies of the Zhu family, but Zhu Xiu was stunned, and the bandit leader was not only not afraid, but also waved his hand and shouted coldly, "What about Mrs. Zhu?" Lao Tzu hid in the mountains, what can you be me? Brothers, go! ”
A whistle sounded, more than a dozen horses came, and those strong men got on the horses and shouted a few times, and ran away without a trace. The second lady was lost, and Zhu Xiu sat on the ground with a butt, how is this good? What now? Zhu Xiu has been in the Zhu family for more than 20 years, so he sees some things very seriously, and he lost the second lady, maybe the head of the family will not touch him for the sake of the old man in the house, but the eldest lady will not care about these. In the past two years, the prestige of the eldest lady has become more and more sufficient, and she has been doing things even more vigorously. No matter how old he Zhu Xiu's qualifications are, can he still be older than Zhu Guichang?
Zhu Xiu didn't want to die, but the head of the family couldn't keep him, if the eldest lady wanted to kill someone, there were means. Stupid, why did you agree to the head of the family in the first place, if you don't send the second lady out of Beijing, will there be so many things? Now there is only one way to go, and if you want to survive, you have to beg the eldest lady. Run away? If he escapes, what will happen to the family, young and old?
In the Mengxiang Teahouse, Zhu Lian took a sip of tea, and Chai Keyan leaned on the back of the chair opposite, and smiled, "What the lady said is good, and it is also a good thing that my Chai family can do business with the Zhu family." But is the lady giving too little? Recently, Fang La has caused trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cost of this water transportation is very high, so the price must also be raised. ”
"County Lord, you can believe these words when you say them to others, but you don't need to say that to the slave family, right? According to the slave family, since Fang La's disaster, the county lord has called the Suzhou Navy to help transport goods, so that not a penny is spent, but it is more economical than taking the land route before. ”
It's not the first time that Zhu Lian has negotiated business with the Lord of Cheshire, every time he sits with her, he always feels a lot of pressure, but it is also a blessing to meet opponents in chess.
"Hehe, the lady said it so clearly, the county lord is not beating around the bush, it is not impossible to let him help transport the goods, and he can even help for free."
How can there be any benefits in the world? As soon as Zhu Lian's mind moved, he had already guessed Chai Keyan's thoughts, "County Lord." Are you trying to meddle in Ruyao's business? ”
Chai Keyan nodded slightly. It's easy to deal with smart people. In fact, she has not been interested in Ruyao for a day or two, and she has mentioned it a few times before, but Zhu Lian refused. This time, the silk in the south of the Zhu family was blocked and could not be transported, which was a good opportunity, "Yes, the blue and white of this Ru kiln is very good, and the skills are excellent, far better than other porcelain." Your Zhu family monopolizes Ruyao. You have to share some benefits, right? ”
"It seems that this time the county lord will not stop Ruyao?" Zhu Lian pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't show anger.
Chai Keyan didn't deny it, and replied, "Yes, the lady should understand this account, the silk business in the south of the Zhu family, in exchange for a little Ruyao profit, the lady will not lose, right?" ”
Zhu Lian frowned, and asked with some hesitation, "What the county lord said before can be counted?" If you can meddle in the Ruyao business. My Zhu family doesn't have to pay other fees, right? ”
"Huh?" Chai Keyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood a little. seems to have been calculated by Zhu Lian. It is estimated that Zhu Lian had thought about separating part of the blue and white business of Ruyao before she came, and she was so secretive that she wanted her to stray. At the beginning, I felt that it was difficult to get the Ru kiln business, so I made a promise that other expenses could be given up, who would have thought that this was what Zhu Lian had been waiting for a long time.
"Hehe, the lady is really calculating, even the lord of this county has unknowingly fallen for you."
"Why did the county lord say this? My Zhu family is a small family, and it can't be compared with the Hengwang Mansion, so ah, if you can save a little, you can save a little. ”
Is the Zhu family a small family? Just listen to it, if it was two years ago, Chai Keyan really wouldn't take the Zhu family too seriously, but after Zhu Lian took over in the past two years, he was determined to forge ahead. Since presiding over the affairs of the Zhu family, Zhu Lian has given up some inconsequential businesses and concentrated on operating silk, restaurants, porcelain and money houses, so that the Zhu family's business is getting stronger and stronger, especially this money village, which is about to surpass the money bank business of Hengwang Mansion.
After the matter of silk was discussed, Zhu Lian and Chai Keyan chatted, and before they arrived, Zhilan went out and hurried back, whispered a few words closely, and saw Zhu Lian's face cold. Standing up, she bowed slightly, and said slowly, "County Lord, I'm sorry, there is something urgent at home, and the slave family has to rush back immediately." ”
"If there is an emergency, the lady can take care of herself!"
Chai Keyan didn't mind, and when Zhu Lian left in a hurry, she frowned and pondered. Mrs. Zhu is a stable person, if it weren't for a big deal, she wouldn't be so flustered. It's really interesting, what happened to the Zhu family? After thinking about it, he instructed Qing Dai next to him, "You let people go to the Zhu family to inquire about it and see what happened?" ”
"Okay, county lord!"
In the Zhu family's mansion on Liyi Street, Zhu Guina was not at home, but Zhu Lian rushed back early. In the small pavilion in the lake, Zhu Xiu knelt on the ground like a sifting chaff, "Lady, it's all strange that you are confused." ”
"Confused? Zhu Xiu, you are not confused at all, you can quietly send the second lady to Zhongmu, hehe, you dare to hide from me, you are still confused, you have a lot of thoughts! Zhu Lian smiled coldly, his voice was like the ice of the wax moon, and the hearts of those who understood trembled.
Zhu Xiu also heard a little taste, he knelt and climbed two steps, and kowtowed a few more times, "Lady, it's all strange to the little foolish, the little one will never dare to do it in the future, as long as the lady spares the little one's life, the little one will never hide it from the lady in the future." ”
"Zhu Xiu, this is what you said, remember what you said today, if you dare to hide it in the future, you will definitely drown in the Bianhe River."
Zhu Lian will not kill Zhu Xiu, to completely control the Zhu family, you can't just rely on killing people. Keep Zhu Xiu, don't kill him too much. Zhu Lian got up and led Zhilan to leave quickly, Zhu Xiu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, waiting for Zhu Niangzi to disappear in the courtyard, and then he sat down on the ground. After a while, his back was already covered with cold sweat, as if he had died. The power of the lady is getting bigger and bigger, and she has never been afraid when she follows the head of the family, but in the face of her, she is really afraid.
When it got dark, Zhu Guina returned home, but as soon as he got home, he heard the bad news that his little daughter had been snatched away by robbers. Hearing this bad news, Zhu Guina felt guilty and remorseful, the whole person seemed to have been drained of half his life, he sat in the study in a daze, not eating or drinking, why did the ghost send Qingdai out of Beijing? was kind, but I didn't expect it to hurt Qingdai.
Zhu Lian put a bowl of noodles on the table with her own hands, looking at her remorseful father at this time, she couldn't say anything serious. Although Daddy is obsessed with officials, he loves them after all.
"Dad, do you know who is active in the Xijing area? That's Huaixi Wang Qing's person, if you still want to save Qingdai, just eat a full meal, cheer up and lead people out of Beijing to find, like you, what can you solve? ”
Zhu Guina's body trembled, his eyes were a little more bright, he took the bowl and said in a deep voice, "I'll eat, Yanya, don't worry, my father will save your sister even if he gives up this life." ”
Looking at Zhu Guina, who was desperately eating noodles, Zhu Lian's heart was mixed, this father was really a headache. It is he who is hated, and it is he who is sad, so let him go out to find Qingdai, so that he can stay in the capital and come up with some unrealistic ideas.
It was already a little cold in Tongzhou at the beginning of November, and at this time a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the city of Tongzhou. (To be continued......)
