Not to mention the fact that Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng invited literary friends to participate in the grand event, in Xuzhou, Zhou Quan rode a purple horse and slowly entered the city gate.

By his side, there were four or five companions, and in addition, there was Wu Yang, who was almost an inch, staying by his side.

Xiang Cong is one of the companions, taking over his father's guidance, Xiang Cong came to Zhou Quan in front of the flattery, first admitted his mistakes, and then fully supported the cement kiln.

In a short period of time, two cement kilns have been renovated at a previously abandoned smelting pit. With the experience in Beijing, Zhou Fu is very handy in handling this practice, and there is no need for Zhou Quan to participate.

The first furnace of cement in the two cement kilns has also been burned. After all, it was Xuzhou at this time, and all kinds of raw materials were sufficient, and it was not difficult to fire cement without considering the labor cost.

Therefore, Zhou Quan will have time to play around with Xiang Cong, and the vicinity of Li Guojian has been turned around, and now he has simply come to Xuzhou City.

Xiang's family has a mansion in Fucheng, and if there is no major event, he always comes back to live for a period of time every year, so Xiang Cong is very familiar with Xuzhou. He found that Zhou Quan was very interested in some of Su Shi's deeds, so he led Zhou Quan to the Yellow Building.

The Yellow Tower, located at the east gate of Xuzhou City, was built by Su Shi when he was guarding Xuzhou in the first year of Yuanfeng, when Su Shi just led the people of Xuzhou to overcome the terrible flood.

It's just that now Su Shi has been banned by the party, and his inscription is also banned, so Zhou Quan At this time, the Yellow House was renamed Guanfeng Building, and the "Yellow Mansion Fu" stele made by Su Zhe and written by Su Shi was also sunk into the moat by those who were afraid of things.

"Although Su Gong is a talented person, it is difficult to prevent villains in the end." Xiang Cong said meaningfully to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan frowned slightly: "Brother Xiang has something to say, why don't you say it directly?" ”

"The foolish brother and the virtuous brother hit it off at first sight, and they have been very deed these days, and they really can't bear to have any accidents with the virtuous brother, so they just reminded him. I heard that Zhao Sheng was not taken away by the Zhao family, and the virtuous brother should be careful of him. ”

"Oh, even if he wasn't taken away, he's a lost dog now, what can he do?"

"Brother Xian underestimates him too much, this person is ruthless, unscrupulous, and even dares to collude with bandits, over the years, he has colluded with bandits, and his life has been ended, not to mention seven or eight!"

Zhou Quan was a little surprised.

Xiangjia has a deep background, Zhou Quan is still very interested in pulling Xiangjia on his own boat, at first Xiangjia ignored him, but when he took out the cement as a bait, Xiangjia rushed over, which was exactly what Zhou Quan wanted.

At this time, Xiang Cong's warning is even more of a gesture of goodwill, but Zhou Quan, who has experienced the betrayal of civil officials, where will Zhou Quan easily trust others!

He always felt that there was something hidden under Xiang Cong's enthusiasm.

"If that's the case, then it's a no-brainer." Zhou Quan said, it looked like he was coping.

Xiang Cong was secretly happy in his heart, at this time, the first batch of cement had just been burned, and although the output had not yet expanded, the importance of the Zhou family's father and son had decreased.

In other words, the father and son of the Zhou family can roll.

Zhou Fu is an official of the imperial court, it is not easy to take his life, so he has to use some means, but Zhou Quan is not, although he also has the title of a loose official, after all, he is not a minister, in the eyes of the father and son, kill Zhou Quan, and then drive away Zhou Fu, the newly built cement kiln will fall into their hands.

However, Xiang Cong still said with a straight face: "I say this, there is always some reason, Brother Zhou Xian, you must be careful!" ”

They played around the Yellow Building, and then went to the rest of the famous places in Xuzhou City, and when it was getting late, Xiang Cong's face was slightly ambiguous: "Although Xuzhou is only a capital city, it is not more prosperous than Beijing, but it also has a good place to go...... Brother Zhou Xian, do you dare to break through with Brother Foolish? ”

"What's the best place to go?"

"Since ancient times, there are beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, Xuzhou has convenient water and land transportation, and naturally there are few southern beauties, when Su Shi ruled Xu, he wrote the Huanglou tablet, which has four characters, and it is a southern beauty ghostwriter......

Xiang Cong said, while leading Zhou Quan to the southeast corner of Xuzhou City, where there are many pavilions and pavilions, which is the area where the rich live, and the main restaurant in Xuzhou is also here.

"Taibai Building...... Since the Tang Dynasty, it seems to be a place, and there are Taibai Mansions. When Zhou Quan went to the restaurant, he said casually.

Xiang Cong laughed: "What Brother Xian said is true! ”

Unbeknownst to them, in a room on the second floor of the restaurant, someone picked up the window paper and looked at them quietly.

When Zhao Sheng saw Xiang Cong, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Sure enough, it's here!" ”

In addition to Zhao Sheng himself, there were six other people in the room, all of whom were sturdy men, and their eyebrows and eyes were extremely poor.

"It's the younger one, do you all recognize it?"

The leader of the six men nodded, revealing a mouthful of crooked scorched yellow teeth: "It looks more handsome than my sister...... Is that the little Yanei? In my opinion, there is no need to kill, but to be tied up and sold to the south, where it is said that there are some rich and noble people in the south, so this is the case! ”

The rest of the men laughed evilly, Zhao Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he said with a straight face: "Ma Qi, you don't have to make your own decisions." Look at the big man beside him, it is said that the big man is the guardian of this kid, when you do it, you must guard against him! ”

The yellow-toothed man glanced at Wu Yang twice and nodded: "It's a good man, don't worry, we won't fight hard." ”

"If it's convenient, do it in the city!" Zhao Sheng said again.

This time, the yellow-toothed man looked awkward: "It's not very convenient in the city, right?" ”

"It's inconvenient to go out of the city, the horse he rides, we don't have a horse in Xuzhou that can compare, if he is alarmed, he will run on a horse, where do you chase it!"

Zhao Sheng glanced out of the window paper again, but while they were talking, Zhou Quan and Xiang Cong had already gone up to the top floor of Taibai Tower.

"Outside Zhao Yuan, do it in the city, if you alarm the official errand, the four doors are closed, our brothers can't get rid of the small matter, and it will implicate Zhao Yuan's foreign affairs." The thinner of the six men is slow and straightforward.

Zhao Sheng's face turned white, and his heart was furious.

In the past, these six people were the only ones who looked to the horse, and he pointed to the east, but these people did not dare to go west.

But now these six people dare to make conditions with him, and even threaten to implicate him.

In the final analysis, it was caused by Zhou Quan's removal from Liguo Prison and the loss of his authority. Therefore, Zhao Sheng didn't blame these six men, but he hated the Zhou family father and son even more to the core.

After letting these six men identify people, Zhao Sheng quietly walked out of this house and went to another private room. Not long after, upstairs confessed to Cong and Zhou Quan, only said that they wanted to change their clothes, and quietly entered this private room.

"I've seen Xiang Gongzi!"

Realizing the change in his identity, Zhao Sheng didn't dare to take it in front of Xiang Cong as before, and as soon as he saw Xiang Cong coming in, he bowed respectfully.

Xiang Cong's brows trembled slightly, somewhat proud, but thinking of his father's instructions, he suppressed this smugness, and returned the half-salute and said, "Brother Zhao has worked hard." ”

used to be called Uncle Shi, but now he has become Brother Zhao, and Zhao Sheng really has mixed feelings in his heart. But he still thinks that it was the arrival of the Zhou family father and son that caused this change, so he once again raised his hatred for the Zhou family father and son to a higher level.

"Everyone's been found?" Xiang Cong asked.

"All of them are familiar, and they can act at any time."

"After a while, Li'er will come to stay in the guest, the Zhou family kid is a womanizer, he will definitely stay overnight, and take advantage of the darkness at night to kill him." Xiang Cong commanded.

"As long as he stays, I'm not afraid that he won't die, and then he will only be jealous!" Zhao Sheng said viciously.

Xiang Cong smiled: "I can't come out for too long, so I have to go back...... Brother, you're so good to do, I haven't been here to see you. ”

Zhao Sheng's forehead was sweating slightly, knowing what Xiang Cong meant, if he did it, he would just pay it back, but if he missed it and the matter was revealed, Xiang Jia would never admit to secretly colluding with him.

Xiang Cong walked out of this private room and came to the third floor again, this is the highest place in Taibai Building, you can climb high and look into the distance, he saw Zhou Quan staring at the southwest direction attentively, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zhou Xian, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'm thinking about that piece of land yesterday, I wonder if Brother Xiang is willing to make a move?" Zhou Quan said.

It has been more than a month since their father and son came to Li Guojian, but they still live in Meng Guang's village, which is not a long-term strategy after all, so in addition to staying in a small mansion in Diqiu Town, Zhou Quan also wants to buy a large-scale village outside the town.

Accompanied by Meng Guang and Xiang Cong, he walked a few places, and the last place he picked happened to be the Xiang family's industry.

"Longchuan that place, it's not that I'm reluctant, and my brother also knows that although I don't talk about the property in my family, it's actually in escrow, and my father can't be the master of many things, let alone me?" Xiang Cong said bitterly.

The place that Zhou Quan fancied, the locals called Longchuan, there are three rivers gushing out of the mountains passing through, the radius is five or six miles, and it is the property of more than 20 families and two Zhuangzi that has been annexed by Xiangjia before and after. Speaking of the market price alone, it should be worth about 5,000 yuan, but because it involves a large mountain, Xiang Jia feels that there is a possibility of iron ore being found in it, so he is reluctant to sell.

"So please help Brother Xiang, if it can be done, I can't forget the benefits of Brother Xiang." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

While they were talking, a group of warblers and warblers came up, Zhou Quan was slightly stunned, and then saw Xiang Cong smiling meaningfully.

"Brother Xiang, this is ......"

"Now that I have entered Xuzhou, I can't help but know it, rest assured, what I ordered in person is by no means vulgar fat powder. These ladies, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dare not say that they are proficient in everything, but there are always a few things that are good at it! ”

Those girls smiled skillfully, and they could praise Cong, and they all looked at Zhou Quan with affection.

Xiang Cong looked straight at Zhou Quan, as far as he knew, Zhou Quan had not yet married a wife, but he had a reputation for being lustful in the Jingshi, and he had also done the thing of peeping girls bathing, so he was convinced that Zhou Quan would definitely find it difficult to refuse these temptations in front of him.

Zhou Quan's eyes swept over the girls, but this gaze made Xiang Cong's heart jump suddenly, and he vaguely felt that things might not be as smooth as he imagined.
