Chapter Eighty-Four: The Rules of the Rivers and Lakes
In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Jingyun's carriage waited early in front of the Lin Mansion. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Shun Shun carried a burden wider than his body, and stood beside Lin Lan yawning.
Seeing Cheng Jingyun coming, Lin Ruhai bowed his hand and said, "Then there is Lao Chenggong." ”
"Hehe, no trouble. Many scholars and Confucian scholars in Gusu admired Lin Lan's poetic talent, and this literary meeting coincided with the Lantern Festival Poetry Meeting, and it is estimated that it is Lin Lan's moment to shine. ”
Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, and he was a little comforted in his heart, at least Lin Lan was not an unsuccessful waste, "Lan'er will get rid of Cheng Gong." ”
"You're welcome."
Lin Lan got into the carriage with Shunyo and said goodbye to Lin Ruhai.
Shunyo is now completely refuge in Lin Lan. Because of the incident a while ago, everyone in the Lin Mansion felt that he instigated the young master, so where could they reason with this, so they simply slept with Yun Xiaofan in the bamboo forest building all day long.
Cheng Jingyun asked, "Are things ready?" ”
Lin Lan took out a few pages from his chest, yawned and said, "Ready." ”
"Where are you going to get off the bus?"
"Wuting Bridge."
Shunyo on the side originally thought that this time it was a beautiful trip, and wanted to take a break in the carriage, but suddenly felt that the three words Wuting Bridge were so familiar.
"Wait, Master Cheng, young master, isn't the Wuting Bridge in the city? Gusu City also has a Wuting Bridge? ”
Cheng Jingyun and Lin Lan looked at each other and smiled.
……
……
The carriage gradually drove away, and Shun's hair was blown by the cold wind and looked like a second cargo.
Wuting Bridge ......
"Young master, what about going to Gusu as promised?"
Lin Lan smiled: "Did I say go to Gusu?" ”
Shunyo felt deeply tricked, pulled the burden on his shoulders, and said aggrievedly: "If you let the master know, Shunyo's skin will have to be ripped off this time." ”
"Then don't let the master know." Lin Lan touched her smooth and fluffy hair, and said: "The silver is in the baggage, find an inn, or sneak back to the bamboo forest Xiaozhu, if you let me know that you are secretly informing, needless to say master, young master, I picked your skin first, do you know?" ”
"Oh. Master, don't make trouble. ”
Lin Lan said: "What about those little gangsters? ”
"Oh. Brother Xiao Fan took them to the countryside. said that the old ghost Yang wanted to chase and kill them, and they ran faster than the mountain donkey one by one. ”
What Lin Lan was most worried about was that those little beggars would go to Yangzhou City, and if they were to go through the gang, their nine lives would not be enough to spend.
"Alright, you can just take care of yourself. Master, I have to go on errands. ”
"Oh......"
Shunyo is like an abandoned wanderer, carrying a large bag and turning away.
Lin Lan looked at the sky, bought a few scallion pancakes at the pancake stall, and walked into the alley on the side.
waited until he bypassed the two alleys before he arrived at the place where Hu Yanjun had landed.
"Senior Brother Huyan, how is the injury?"
As soon as he saw Lin Lan coming back, Hu Yanjun's face softened slightly, and said, "The arrow wound is not very deep, and it can be healed after a few days of rest." Little junior brother, there is very bad news now. ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Lan put the oil cake on the table.
Hu Yanjun was silent for a moment and said, "Master has sent out the news. On the night of the 14th day of the first lunar month, those who did not show up were to clean up the portal and expel them from the division. ”
"Expulsion?"
Hu Yanjun nodded and said, "The two Huai salt lords will sell their master a penny." If he is expelled from the division, he will have no place to stand in the future. Although your and my lives are important, but if we lose this job, what are we talking about making a fortune? ”
"There's no hurry. Senior Brother Huyan, since the master didn't name him, he probably didn't have much confidence in his heart. Let's stay outside tomorrow, if the three senior brothers are all together, we will run away. If anyone doesn't arrive, we'll join Master. Lin Lan said.
Hu Yanjun nodded and said: "This is a good idea, we have no backbone, the matter of the paper shop in the south of the city is definitely not like a coincidence, there must be someone who betrayed the master, so we will adapt to the situation." ”
Lin Lan asked, "I don't know where Master made an appointment?" ”
"When the time comes, Yangzhou pear orchard."

Spring Breeze Crossing
The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold. Yangzhou's drunken gold fan's ecstasy is easy for people to indulge in. Shang Qingyang drank morning tea and sat by the window of the painting boat.
The boat stops on the lakeside, the morning sun rises, and the good night ends.
"Two senior brothers, were you satisfied last night?"
"Haha, Senior Brother Shang, why did you only say such an ecstasy now? It's much better than those broken. ”
Shang Qingyang said with a smile: "This place is not something that people without identity can come up to. The two senior brothers, there is a senior brother, and the junior brother doesn't want to hide it from the two. ”
"Senior brother just said it."
"What the junior brother wants to say is the establishment of another door, I mentioned it to the two senior brothers the day before yesterday, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Chen Sanpi and Gu Tianyuan said with a smile: "If you and I join forces, we will naturally be able to break out of the world, but the master is there...... It's hard to explain. ”
Shang Qingyang already knew that it was not easy to completely encircle this old ghost Yang's right-hand man, so he said: "Master has spread the rumor, tomorrow night, the old place will gather, and those who don't come will be regarded as rebels and clean up the portal." ”
Chen Sanpi and Gu Tianyuan frowned.
"Third junior brother, master's prestige in Lianghuai Salt Road, if we are really expelled from the division, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch, and when the time comes, it will be uncomfortable because of a small loss."
Shang Qingyang had long understood that the two of them were still unconvinced, and they were willing to assist him, so he said: "The two senior brothers think that it is really the junior brother who wants to betray the teacher? The official at the top was dissatisfied with the master and wanted to abandon the chess piece. If we can't set up another door, we will be abandoned as well. ”
Chen Sanpi's hand holding the bun trembled, and he asked in surprise, "Really...... Is it really the meaning of the top? ”
"Otherwise, how can Qingyang fight against the master."
Whether it's the so-called big salt lord or the big salt gang, if the official family wants to abolish you, it will be a matter of day and night.
"If we betray the sect, then how can we gain a foothold on the salt road?"
The transportation of private salt involves transportation, checkpoints, etc., and the people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to the word righteousness. Being ungrateful, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is the material to be spurned, how to solve this. This has always been the reason why Chen Sanpi and Gu Tianyuan did not dare to oppose the water.
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, the adults above still let the master go. If the two senior brothers go to the appointment and die for the master, it will be the two of you. Shang Qingyang drank his tea, and said lightly, "What kind of grace do dead people talk about?" ”
Chen Sanpi was shocked, immediately got up, and said, "Senior brother, in the future, senior brother will be mixed with you." ”
"I, Gu Tianyuan, will only be the head of my junior brother in the future."
Shang Qingyang's cup was full of tea, stretched out of the window, and sprinkled on the surface of the lake, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Ability dies in ability. One last trip, Master, you're good to go! ”
