Chapter 148: Another Invitation

It has entered the beginning of August of the lunar calendar, although it has passed the rainy season, but it seems to be affected by the previous rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, and at this moment there is a misty drizzle like cow hair floating in the sky above Yangzhou City.

At the canal in the east of the city, the Yu gang leader stood in the attic at the stern of the "One Cent Moon" cargo ship, as if he was looking into the distance, and he didn't react even if the breeze outside the attic rolled the raindrops into the window and hit the tips of his hair. The raindrops hit the boat, making a slight noise, as if they were whispering softly.

"Gang leader, I've inquired, the gang leader of the Yu League that day is named Li Tianyu, and he is the only son in the mansion of Li Jiacheng, the governor of Jiangsu, and I heard that he disappeared a few months ago. After being recovered, he gradually gained some fame in Yangzhou. Among the other two, the age of Li Tianyu is Chen Youliang, the second son of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, and the person he saw when he detained the ship before was the eldest son of the Chen Mansion. As for the young one, it seems to be a person in the Li Mansion, and I heard that he is a cousin of the Li Mansion. The people at the helm of the Feather League that day should have been Li Tianyu and Chen Youliang. Master Liu came into the attic, touched the rain on his face, and stood behind Gang Master Yu and said respectfully.

"What's going on with the Ge family?" Seeing that the Yu Gang Leader did not turn around, he still stared at the distance outside the window without any reaction and asked lightly.

"Back to the helper, the Ge family's side is like a tree falling and scattered. Since Na Ge Gongzi fell ill in bed, the people below heard the news from nowhere that Na Ge Gongzi's trafficking in illicit salt was exposed, and at the same time offended the people of the government. One by one, they were worried that they would be implicated, so they asked the Nage family to resign and leave, and even some fled to other places without saying goodbye. Now Ge Gongzi is the only one left by the Wang steward, who is still sticking to the stall. At the moment, the Ge family is afraid that it is no longer of any value. ”

"What do you think should be done with this Ge family now?" After listening to Lord Liu's report, Gang Master Yu frowned slightly, and then asked like this.

"The Ge family knows a lot about our salt gang, and according to the subordinates, it is better to ......" Liu Duo said, with a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

"Master Liu, didn't you stay in this Ge family for a long time before, why don't you speak for that Ge Gongzi now?"

"Helper Mingjian. My subordinates only know that anything that is not conducive to the development of my salt gang will be swept away. Lord Liu Helm said firmly,

"That means that it also includes that Li Gongzi and Chen Gongzi?" Gang Leader Yu still stared out the window and said lightly.

"Yes, helper." Lord Liu said with a grim face.

"Listen, you will come forward on my behalf on the Ge family's side, send them some silver taels, and arrange for them to leave Yangzhou overnight, preferably let them leave Jiangsu. If they don't, they will send them to Yancheng, saying that there is something else to take care of in Yancheng. Once they go to Yancheng, they must send people to keep an eye on their every move at any time, and never let them leave Yancheng and return to Yangzhou. When you go to them to talk about these arrangements, you must be polite, and you must appear to still care about the Ge family. Otherwise, if it is self-defeating and makes them suspicious, it will be tantamount to rubbing salt on the wound, so that it is not certain that they will bite back and do something out of the ordinary. If you are from the Tianyu League, you can go and help me make an invitation now, and it will mean that I will set up a banquet in the East Hongyan Tower of that city on the day of the day, and I will discuss important matters with the leader of your gang. I saw that the Yu gang leader stretched out his onion and jade finger and drew a line on the windowsill, and the originally scattered water droplets on the windowsill instantly mixed together, as if they had converged into a trickle.

"Helper, you want to ...... with those thieves"

"Needless to say, go ahead and do it." Gang Leader Yu still said lightly without looking back.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." After that, Lord Liu Helm retreated. After a long time, Gang Leader Yu still stared out the window but let out a long sigh of relief.

In this way, the rain fell for a whole day and a night, not swaying, crying like a complaint, showing the euphemism and beauty of this water town in the south of the Yangtze River vividly. The matter sent by the Yu gang leader was basically completed, and the Ge family also agreed to go to Yancheng first to raise for a while, but because of the haste of the incident, they thought about leaving early tomorrow morning after the rain stopped tonight. The invitation was also sent to the headquarters of the Tianyu Alliance, and it is unknown whether it has been handed over to their helper, and whether it will be on time tomorrow. But the prince of John was also very honest in the past two days, except for a few silk cloth shops near the canal, and he never went out again, and I don't think he could find the better silk.

"Tianyu, right now, the thieves of the Salt Gang have sent you an invitation, which is clearly with ulterior motives. You said that if you go, you may not be in the trap; If you don't go, it will hurt your face somewhat. Chen Youliang said with a look of wonder what to do.

"Hongyan Building, hum, it's a little interesting. What advantage do you say she can take advantage of the Hongmen banquet on the territory of our Yangzhou? It is said that the Han Gaozu generously went to the banquet when he was weak and weak, so why should we be afraid now? It's just that I didn't expect that girl to stare at that foreign devil very tightly. Li Tianyu first looked at the invitation in his left hand, and then looked at the foreign text on the manuscript paper in his right hand, and said with some tears and laughter.

It turned out that Mr. John had gone to look for the address left by Li Tianyu these days, but no matter where he went, he was accompanied by someone, and the meaning of the Yu gang was to protect Mr. John from being bullied and deceived here. In desperation, Mr. John pretended to write down the style and size to ask about the store after finding the cloth shop, but in fact he left a message for Li Tianyu. Anyway, it was written in foreign language, and I didn't worry that the people who followed me would be able to see that he was ugly. And the message was to the effect: Lee, I'm coming to the store you said. However, there are always people with Yu around, so it is not convenient for me to ask about your situation in the same store. Because I still can't do without Yu's cargo ship to help transport it. I wonder if you asked me to go to that shop because you opened the cloth shop.

It seems that this foreign devil is not stupid, and he is quite full of Western humor. After Li Tianyu read Mr. John's message, the first thing that came to mind was these. It's just a pity that Na Kang Yibing was still not in the store at that time, and I think he was busy with the design and production of the new clothing in the past few days.

"Hey, Brother Tian, I didn't expect you to keep asking for invitations one after another in the past few days."

"Oh? Could it be that someone else sent an invitation to Tianyu? When Chen Youliang saw Cui Hao say this, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Don't listen to his kid nonsense. Just Mr. Han sent an invitation to the Jinling Poetry Club. Speaking of Youliang, it's not that I'm sorry for you, then Mr. Han sent an invitation. And the time is still in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the place is in Jinling. If it weren't for the fact that my mother had ordered the Mid-Autumn Festival to escort this kid back to Jinling, I wouldn't have bothered to go there on the full moon day. ”

"It's okay, Brother Liang. Go with us. At that time, the matter of the poetry tasting will be wrapped up in me. Cui Hao patted his chest and said confidently.

"Well, I'm afraid I'll have to go back and ask my home first." Chen Youliang said with some hesitation.

"Brother Liang, you have to think about it. When you arrive in Jinling, no one will know you, so you can do whatever you want. Of course, all the expenses are mine. I heard that there are many talented and beautiful women in the poetry club since ancient times, and if you can meet friends with poetry and brew a good story, it will be a worthwhile trip. What's going on, Brother Liang? Cui Hao was bewitched with a cheap smile on his face, and Li Tianyu, who was directly teaching, couldn't help but shake his head.

"Xiao Hao, Brother Liang has thanked you for your kindness first. However, this matter must be done and the family must be informed and consent can be obtained. Although Chen Youliang was a little moved, he still said helplessly.

"Okay, Brother Liang, wait for your good news."

"Xiao Hao, I'll discuss something with you. Do you think you can also help Brother Tian bring a few more people in? Li Tianyu deliberately teased like this.

"Yes, no problem. Five hundred and twenty-one! The more the merrier, those who come do not refuse. ”

"Your uncle, Xiao Hao, you white-eyed wolf. If I don't go, how about selling you for the post and charging you two hundred taels? "It's noisy, although Lao Tzu's talent must far exceed the number of five hundred taels, but if the tickets are circulated in the black market at such a price, then the scholars and politicians of Jinling will be able to run to a well-off place if they hold a poetry tasting meeting next year.

"Alright, I'm joking with you. Say, which family's daughter do you want to bring? Cui Hao rolled his eyes and said.

"Come on, Brother Tian, I'm also joking with you." Li Tianyu pursed the corners of his lips, as if he was a little disdainful.

"So, Tianyu, are you going to go to this Hongmen banquet tomorrow?"

"It's not me, it's us. What is said on this invitation is clear, please ask the helper of our Tianyu Alliance to go to Nahong Yanlou to discuss important matters. Are you the gang leader and this boy ready to escape? It was noisy, but Liu Bang was accompanied by Zhang Liang and Fan Hao at the Nahongmen banquet back then. So I'm going to bring not only you two tomorrow, but also the Heavenly Group. In this way, I am not afraid that she will do something. Of course Li Tianyu would not be stupid enough to go to the meeting alone, after all, although the other party is a girl's family and looks pretty good, it is obvious that this so-called banquet has nothing to do with Fengyue. If you change it to the room number of the inn, you can consider going alone after ruling out the situation of the immortal jump.

"You're still going to bring the Substitute Group? Are you going to make the other person poor? Cui Hao was extremely puzzled when he heard this, there were twenty-one people including Brother Lianfeng of the Tiangu Group, and he had never seen a restaurant that could accommodate twenty people when he was so big. Chen Youliang also looked at Li Tianyu with a puzzled look on his face at this moment.

"yes. Therefore, I suggest that you both don't eat dinner today, and wait for everyone to come over tomorrow to eat her for a thousand taels of silver, and let her feel the warm hospitality of our Tianyu League. ”
