The next day, the three of the prefects of Wanghailou gathered together again, the three of them ordered a few special side dishes, and let Xiao Er serve a pot of wine, and before he started drinking, the handsome Wang Jizhi couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Yuanying!" How's that going on yesterday's investigation? Can you know who that young lady is? ”

Wu Yuanying first picked up the wine glass and took a sip before shaking his head and said, "It's not easy to do!" According to the next report, this woman is the only daughter of Zhang Yiheng, the commander of Jimo, and Zhang Yiheng did not marry another wife after the death of his wife, only such a daughter. It's like a baby, it's hard to start! ”

Wang Jizhi said in surprise: "Zhang Yao? Zhang Yiheng's daughter? ”

Wu Yuanying was also surprised: "Hey? I don't think I said the name of that young lady yet, did I? How do you know? ”

"Haha, Zhang Yao is a famous talented girl in Jiaozhou! There is nothing we don't know in Jiaozhou, don't believe you and ask Ru Xiu! Isn't it? Wang Jizhi laughed and said, stabbing Ru Xiu, who was flat next to him, as he spoke.

Wu Yuanying was very curious, and asked Ru Xiu on the side, "Really?" Thou Xiu? I know you can't lie! Tell me! Seeing Wu Yuanying's anxious appearance, Ru Xiu had to nod and stop talking.

"Alas! What a pity! My father will be transferred to Shanxi to be an official soon, and I will follow! And my father couldn't have agreed to me marrying a woman from another country! said that it was for me to find the right person in my hometown! Pity! Pity! Looks like I don't have a chance! Then it's up to you to follow and you! Wu Yuanying patted his thigh and said with emotion.

Wang Jizhi also drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a sigh, "I don't have a chance!" Our Wang family is still a little famous in Jiaozhou City, who still knows us when we come out of Jiaozhou City! And my family and Jimo Zhang's family have never had anything to do with each other! If you want to fight your way out of Zhang Yao's many suitors, the hope is slim! ”

"Alas!" The two looked at each other and sighed in unison, then suddenly remembered something, and turned their heads to look at Ru Xiu together.

Wang Jizhi spoke first, "Ru Xiu! Your Langya Yan clan is a big family in our Shandong, although Ru Xiu is not a descendant, but for a small commander of the daughter, is it not easy to capture? And Brother Ru Xiu is talented and suave, in my opinion, as long as Brother Ru Xiu puts a little effort into it, can that Zhang Yao escape from the palm of your hand? ”

"Yes, yes! Brother Yan! As a prestigious family that has been inherited for thousands of years, your Yan family is inextricably linked in all aspects of southeast Shandong, and it is not a piece of cake to deal with a Zhang family, as long as Ru Xiu speaks, I think there is a door to this matter! Wu Yuanying said

Yan Ruxiu glanced at the two of them with excited faces, slowly raised his wine glass, and took a sip before saying disdainfully, "Hmph!" Just a martial artist's daughter! "Words are not spoken.

The two looked at each other, and Wu Yuanying sighed after a long time, "Alas! Also! How could the scholar of the Yan family marry the daughter of a martial artist! It's a pity for Miss Zhang's peerless appearance! "Lose interest and raise a glass to drink.

Wang Jizhi saw that the atmosphere was dull, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Brother Yuanying! Yesterday, the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Department should have gone to your house to visit the prefect according to the custom! Have you seen him? ”

As soon as he said this, Wu Yuanying became angry and said, "Alas! Yesterday, there were two deputy envoys of salt transport, the old and the new, Zhang Yiheng was also there, and my father also set up a banquet to invite them, I originally wanted to join in the fun, but my father said that it was a banquet for court officials, not a family banquet, so he didn't let me go! But then my father said that this new deputy envoy of the Salt Transportation Division is not simple, I heard that he has a deep background and has won the trust of His Majesty, and even Gao Qiqian and the high prison army dare not offend, he is really a tricky character! It's not good to offend! ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Ruxiu snorted angrily, "Hmph! Eunuchs! Tar someone with the same brush! ”

Wang Jiyi thinks this is worse, he really shouldn't cause this topic, otherwise Yan someone will be furious and say something out of the ordinary in public, his Yan family will be in a big situation, and the two of them will be unlucky! secretly complained in his heart, but he quickly said, "Hey! Say what these martial artists do! Didn't Yuan Ying go to Chunxianglou to see Yangzhou Skinny Horse? Today's little brother is the east, please go and see it together! We'll be there in a moment! Drink fast! Drink and leave! It's too late to be preempted by those vulgar businessmen who are full of fat intestines, wouldn't it be a sight to behold! ”

When the two heard this, they hurriedly said yes! After eating, the three of them went to Chunxiang Building together.

On the other side, Zhang Yiheng didn't know that someone was beating his daughter's idea. Zhang Yiheng sent someone to inquire about Liu Fan's origin early in the morning, wanting to find out what Liu Fan's back was, on the one hand, he felt that Liu Fan's extraordinary conversation was very suitable for his appetite, and on the other hand, he was worried that his daughter was really attracted to Liu Fan and wanted to make preparations in advance.

How do you know that I sent someone to investigate, but in addition to the news I knew, I didn't get any useful news, I only knew that this person first appeared in the capital, and somehow got the trust of His Majesty, and suddenly made a fortune! Depressed, Zhang Yiheng was ready to visit Liu Fan in person to find out his details.

When Zhang Yiheng came to the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division, he was told that Liu Fan took his own soldiers to the Shihe Salt Works. Moreover, Deputy Envoy Lu has also set off for Zhejiang. Disappointed, Zhang Yiheng had no choice but to return to his other courtyard in Jiaozhou City. Greet your family and get ready to return to Jimo!

Zhang Yao saw that his father's face was full of gloom, and couldn't help asking, "Daddy!" Did that Liu Jimin make you angry? Hum! This bad guy, I'll take someone to teach him a lesson and give you a breath! ”

Zhang Yiheng didn't feel embarrassed when he heard his daughter's words, and said with a smile: "You can't beat people!" I may not be able to fight your father, I heard that when people came, they brought a large army! The Breakers are stationed just outside the city! Legend has it that this army participated in the battles of Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, and it can be said that it is invincible all over Shandong! Very powerful! Just rely on those wine bags and rice bags under my hands, and it is not certain who will fight who at that time! ”

Zhang Yao was suddenly unhappy, "Daddy knows that he will be angry and destroy his prestige!" I haven't beaten yet, how do you know you can't beat it! ”

"Good, good! I can't compete with you! It's not Liu Jimin who messed with me this time! I didn't see him at all, and he was gone when I went! I heard that I went to the Shihe Salt Farm! Young people are impulsive, and they just want to make some achievements when they take office! I'm so anxious! Zhang Yiheng saw that his daughter was angry, and hurriedly laughed

"Since I haven't seen it! Then let's go back to Jimo! He is in charge of the salt works, anti-smuggling and thieves, and sooner or later there will be a time to deal with us Jimo! Daddy is just waiting at home! I guess he'll come to you soon! Visit you in person! Zhang Yao analyzed

Zhang Yiheng nodded in agreement: "What Yao'er said is reasonable!" Then we will leave him alone! Let's go back to Jimo! Wait for him to come in person! ”
