Since the encounter with the assassins in Qinchuan Restaurant, Qinchuan's security protection level has been "forced" to be greatly improved, even in the military. As soon as the figure in the www.biquge.info restaurant appeared, Gao Ying, who was riding a horse behind Qin Chuan, lifted the reins of the horse and was in the middle of Qin Chuan and the figure.

It was none other than Zheng Jiu who came out of the restaurant, wearing a floral satin mask, a leather horse coat with a white flower fur collar and a warm hat.

Zheng Jiu had quit his job as the head of the TJ County three months ago, and secretly bought Du Baozhong's big car shop with the help of Qin Chuan, stripped off the courtyard wall in front of the big car shop, and built a two-story half-brick and half-wood restaurant on the basis of the wall, called "Delicious House". Zheng Jiu invited many famous chefs from various provinces, and the business was very prosperous, and he even opened a branch in the capital.

Qin Chuan's funding of Zheng Jiu to open this delicious residence was not because he suddenly showed any mercy and did a good deed, but that Qin Chuan took a fancy to Zheng Jiu who was not only shrewd and capable, but also had been in the public gate for a long time, and was familiar with the three sects and nine streams, and was a good hand at collecting intelligence.

Except for a few people around Qin Chuan, no one in TJ Wei knew that Zheng Jiu was doing things for Qin Chuan, seeing Zheng Jiu brocade clothes and fat horses, and going back and forth between TJ Wei and BJ City for three days, TJ Wei's gangsters thought that Zheng Jiu's head was open, and suddenly remembered to do business, and it was a hit, and they all looked at it hotly. Although TJ Wei is not too poor, but here may be the port opened earlier, and it is the north-south transportation hub at the lower end of the Jiuhe, TJ Wei people are very rich, and the topics of street talk are mostly talking about Zheng Jiu's career in the past few months.

Gao Ying saw that it was Zheng Jiu, so he inserted the half-cut shell gun into the holster, slightly grabbed the reins of the horse, and let Qin Chuan out.

Although Zheng Jiu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he knew that he was a small fortune at a glance, but Zheng Jiu's energy was not less at all, but his complexion was much better, and he stood on the steps with a smile on his face and arched his hand to Qin Chuan.

"Lord Qin, it's freezing this day, and you need tonic the most, I just arrived in this store with a few pairs of bear paws, do you want to take a pair back and enjoy it?" In addition, you haven't come to me to take care of the business of the shop for a few days, can you enjoy drinking tea in your face to warm your body. ”

Under normal circumstances, if there is nothing special, every Friday night, Zheng Jiu will send his men to transcribe the various messages collected and seal them in a paper bag, and go to the dyeing factory to hand them over to Gao Ying, today Zheng Jiu wants to see him in person, then there must be something special.

Qin Chuan thought in his heart, his face did not change in the slightest, and he nodded slightly.

"Okay, if you have a heart, you can ask someone to wrap the bear paw for me, and I'll have a cup of tea before leaving."

Qin Chuan said, had already jumped off the horse, turned back to Zhou Dajing and the guard company commander Shi Feng and said, "You go back with the team first, I'll take a sip of tea and leave." ”

Zhou Dajing and Shi Feng both knew about Zheng Jiu, and the two of them promised in their mouths, but they didn't move the reins.

Seeing Qin Chuan dismount, Gao Ying and a group of guards also jumped off the horse, and Gao Ying preemptively followed Qin Chuan closely behind and followed Zheng Jiu into the delicious residence.

Although the decoration of the restaurant is not luxurious, it is also magnificent, elegant and chic, although it is a loose platform, but it is separated by hardwood carved siding more than half a person high, and it is obviously neat and bright everywhere. At this moment, at the end of the day, the downstairs platform was already full of drinkers, mostly merchants from all over the world, as well as a small number of local gentry and employees of the Aurora Group, and even a few foreigners gathered around the table to taste all kinds of delicacies.

Qin Chuan is now a well-known figure in TJ Wei, especially those merchants who have dealt with Qin Chuan and the staff of the Aurora Group, as soon as they saw Qin Chuan coming in, many of them hurriedly got up and greeted Qin Chuan with a smile.

"Hello Lord Qin!"

"Hello host!"

Qin Chuan, who had something in his heart, just smiled and nodded with everyone, and followed Zheng Jiu through the main hall of the restaurant, and directly entered the back courtyard through the back door.

The backyard is most of the yard of the former big car shop, which is divided into two by a high courtyard wall, and next to the side of the restaurant is a dozen warehouses and kitchens, and through a small door, this is the real backyard of the delicious house.

In the backyard, two men with iron rulers were patrolling back and forth in the courtyard, seeing Zheng Jiu leading Qin Chuan and a group of guards in, they hurriedly walked to the side, the guards did not need Gao Ying's instructions, there were people guarding the hospital door, after Qin Chuan and Gao Ying followed Zheng Jiu into a room on the left, the rest of the guards were holding the handle of the shell gun inserted in the leather holster in front of the room.

This house is where Zheng Jiu works here, in addition to a bookcase and a few wooden chairs, there are also several large wooden cabinets, Gao Ying glanced around the room, and turned around and went out under Qin Chuan's signal. Zheng Jiu Zhang wanted to make tea for Qin Chuan, but was also stopped by Qin Chuan.

Knowing that Qin Chuan still had something to do, Zheng Jiu didn't pretentiously, let Qin Chuan sit down on the chair behind the bookcase, stood in front of the bookcase by himself, lowered his voice and began to report the situation to Qin Chuan.

"My lord, yesterday, Wei Rugui, the chief soldier stationed in NX Town and the president of the Shengjun Army, brought people into Beijing in person to give gifts to Weng Tongyong, a scholar of the university, minister of military aircraft and a secretary of the household department."

Weng Tonggong, who was born in the champion, is the emperor of the Tongzhi and Guangxu emperors, and now he is a hot big man in the capital, Wei Rugui went to give Weng Tongrong a gift, which is normal, as long as Li Hongzhang doesn't mind, it's not a big deal. Qin Chuan felt very strange about Zheng Jiu reporting this matter to him.

Seeing Qin Chuan looking at him strangely, Zheng Jiu grinned and said, "My lord, do you know what kind of gift this Lord Wei gave to Weng Tongyi?" ”

What kind of gift to give, to give a gift to a big man like Weng Tongyi, in addition to real money, jewelry, antiques or celebrity calligraphy and paintings, what else can you give? Could it be that this Wei Rugui still dares to secretly send a heroine to the dignified emperor?

Seeing that Qin Chuan was still puzzled, Zheng Jiuqiang couldn't help but smile and said, "This is for Lord Wei, who worked hard to run to the capital and sent sixteen and a half stone of small station japonica rice to Weng Tongyi. ”

Qin Chuan, the rice of this small station, knew that it was when the brothers Zhou Shengbo and Zhou Shengchuan, the leaders of the Sheng Army, first arrived in TJ, and cultivated 60,000 acres of rice fields in the small station of the garrison, and introduced rice seeds from North Korea, and the japonica rice produced was very famous. But no matter how good this japonica rice is, it is still rice! Moreover, it is only sixteen and a half stones, but it is only about a thousand catties, how much can this be worth?

This Wei Rugui is almost sixty years old, how can he be so unreasonable?

"Can Weng Tong take it?"

Seeing Qin Chuan's stunned question, Zheng Jiu couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud.

"My lord, if it was in the early years, this Weng Tongyi was the prime minister of the dynasty, how could he fall in love with this mere dozen stones of japonica rice, and he didn't even show his face, so he asked his family to send our Lord Wei back."

"By the way, I also heard that this Lord Wei gave gifts like this last year, and it was the same way, you said that this Wei Rugui is funny or not."

Holding back his laughter, Zheng Jiu said again: "People say that this Wei Rugui is brave and fierce in battle, not afraid of death, and conniving at the group of arrogant soldiers under his command, the most important thing is to protect his shortcomings, but I didn't expect him to be so honest, it's really ridiculous." ”

Qin Chuan rang for a long time, and he didn't feel dumb and laughed, it was really the world's biggest, a dignified second-grade martial arts officer, and he gave such a gift? So unreasonable? I really don't know where this Wei Rugui made Li Hongzhang take a fancy to him, and he actually handed over to him the Sheng Army, which was regarded as the direct unit of the Huai Army that the humerus relied on.

However, Qin Chuan quickly suppressed his laughter, he would definitely not give him a special opinion just because of such an anecdotal matter, there must be something important to say.
