"Self-reliant portal? Brother, you must be crazy! How can we stand on our own? Hu Yanjun's eyes were full of doubt, "If Master knew that we had such thoughts, it is estimated that we would die even more miserably." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lin Lan frowned and said, "Senior brother, let me ask you, how many years have you been with Master?" ”

"Seven years."

"It's been seven years, how much silver do you have?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Hu Yanjun's eyes, "Less than a hundred taels." ”

"Every time I sell salt, it is estimated that a few senior brothers are risking their lives to run around, and in the end it is the master who takes the lion's share, I don't believe that a few senior brothers have not thought of replacing them in their hearts!"

Hu Yanjun stared at Lin Lan's eyes and pursed his lips, who doesn't want to be rich and rich, follow Yang Xinyong for several years, and live a life in the dark and in the dark, for a young person like him, it is very cruel. "What are you going to do?"

Lin Lan saw that Hu Yanjun's heart was moved, so he said: "We are not ungrateful, in recent days, senior brother, you and I are now in Yangzhou City to take a look and find out the whereabouts of the other senior brothers, when we went out of the city, it seems that the three senior brothers are not in the south of the city. ”

"Before the goods are delivered, Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Chen will check up and down to avoid trouble when passing by. But this time, the paper shop suddenly caught fire, and I don't know what happened underground. As for the third senior brother......"

Hu Yanjun narrowed his eyes and said, "Little junior brother, do you think it would be Senior Brother Shang who did it?" His ancestors were originally born in salt barons, and later hugged a big tree before turning into an official businessman. I heard that after the big tree fell, their family was also raided, don't look at Senior Brother Shang's kindness on the surface, in fact, he has always wanted to take the master's place. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Lin Lan suddenly changed his mind, what he expected was far less fast as things were developing.

Hu Yanjun nodded and said: "Master has always been cautious and cautious, step by step, and he seems to look down on Master's actions, and feels that he is not bold enough, and he has disobeyed Master several times. ”

"That's ......"

Lin Lan raised her eyebrows, it turned out that these people were not loyal to Yang Xinyong, so it was even better, at least there was a chance. He thought for a moment and said, "In this way, Senior Brother Huyan, let's find a place to settle down first." I don't think there seems to be martial law in the city, it seems that we are not wanted, first deal with your injuries, let's make plans, what do you think? ”

"Well, it's not a serious injury. Just look at it. ”

Lin Lan helped Hu Yanjun up, seeing the truth in adversity, now Hu Yanjun seems to have recognized Lin Lan as a grasshopper on a thread, if Yang Xinyong doubts Lin Lan, it means doubting himself. He is not a ruthless person, he doesn't do two things endlessly, Yang Xinyong dares to kill him, they will attack first, and then quickly.

……

……

The city of Yangzhou is still prosperous, and occasionally there are a few firecrackers and fireworks.

The painting boats in the Slender West Lake are lit up and walk slowly in the lake.

The silk and bamboo are melodious, and the orchestra is intertwined, but when it reaches the ears of the lame old man, it is so unpleasant.

"My lord, this time it was sudden, and I don't know what happened, so I ......"

A calm voice came from the beaded curtain, as if he was not moved by this in the slightest.

"I'm not going to listen. I don't care what's going on, the paper shop in the south of the city burned and burned, the city defense battalion will relieve you this time, the 100,000 catties of salt underground are not exposed, and while the matter is not big, hurry out before the Lantern Festival. ”

"Still in stock?" Yang Xinyong was a little frightened. This has just happened, and if you are caught again, things will be a little difficult to handle.

Syllable!

The porcelain lid was heavily fastened to the teacup.

Yang Xinyong was startled and quickly knelt down, "My lord, let's go, go!" ”

"Lao Yang, what did I say about you? In recent years, I've always been afraid of this and that, and I'm very dissatisfied. With a hood, what are you afraid of? The man with a fat body as a ball in the bead curtain twisted a string of Buddhist beads, and the scent of sandalwood wafted out from the incense burner on the side.

Yang Xinyong hurriedly kowtowed and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes." That's right. ”

"Well, let's leave in a boat. Take care of the goods, and the boss will not treat you badly. ”

"Master Xie."

Not long after Yang Xinyong left, behind the screen on one side, Shang Qingyang, who was wearing a fur coat, slowly walked out and bowed to the person sitting on it, "Uncle, didn't you say that you should stop halfway except for this guy?" ”

"Qingyang, this time things have changed. Before the city defense battalion arrived, the prefect of Yangzhou did not know where to get the news, the officials in the city surrounded the paper shop in the south of the city, and had no choice but to make a fire to the paper shop. ”

"How's that to be?"

The official in the curtain smiled: "Don't worry, now that Chen and Gu have been controlled by you and me, there is no one who can help him with the goods." This time, he could only take the goods in person, and it would be easy to get rid of him outside the city at that time. It's just that this old thief is thoughtful, and I don't know if he burned the ledger he backed up this time when he burned the paper shop, but he can't let this old dog bite us again before he dies. ”

"Uncle is wise, but that old dog Yang is afraid that he is suspicious of me and is difficult to approach."

"Qingyang, you've done a good job. Collected his right-hand man, but unfortunately did not catch the other two boys. ”

Shang Qingyang raised his eyebrows and said, "This uncle doesn't have to worry. One is not only strong in martial arts, but also has no other skills, and the other is just a bastard, just a few days after getting started, it is difficult to become a climate. ”

"Well, that's fine. You go down, except for Yang Xinyong, in the future, our uncle and nephew will conspire for a great cause. ”

"Uncle is wise, and the little nephew is retiring."

Lin Lan must not have thought that not only was he calculating Yang Laogou, but even Shang Qingyang was also calculating, but it was just a coincidence that the matter arrived on the same day.

The rear of the city defense battalion obviously did not want the Yangzhou prefect to interfere in this matter. burned the paper shop in the south of the city with lightning speed, and the matter was reported, and Gu Zizhang's recital must not have been handed over to the saint.

The boat docked, and Yang Xinyong was still lying down, looking very tired.

"Yang Tou, Yang Tou'er?" The steward pushed Yang Xinyong, who was taking a nap.

"Hmm. Have you been contacted? His already deep voice grew even hoarse.

The news has been released, but there is no news.

Old Ghost Yang sighed, felt the cold wind blowing across his cheeks on the surface of the lake, and muttered, "Old Wu, who did you say told the secret?" ”

"Yang Tou, do you think it's them?"

"As soon as the fourth child and Ah Lan went out, the paper shop was surrounded and burned again. If we hadn't left a back hand, we would really have to explain it there this time. ”

The old steward sighed and said, "Several masters are capable people, and Lao Wu doesn't dare to speculate at will." ”

Yang Xinyong was helped ashore, dusted off his body, and muttered, "It's very simple." Spread the news that on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, whoever did not come was a traitor. ”

He looked at the lake, and muttered to himself: "Two big salt lords, it's time to change hands." ”
