Chapter 163: Meeting on the Street

The chief steward Qiao left, and only Wu Jin and Qi Fengwu were left in the carriage, and the chief steward didn't feel it when he was there, but after the chief steward left, the two sat side by side, and the atmosphere in the carriage became a little awkward, Qi Fengwu sighed in a low voice and said: "Childe, you are always with me, Jiutian will be angry." ”

Wu Jin smiled, and he diverted the topic and said, "Feng Wu, who do you guess is the main messenger behind Weiyang County?" ”

When Qi Fengwu heard him call himself, he had already removed the word Miss and directly called himself Fengwu, his heart trembled, he hurriedly shook his head, and his face gradually turned red.

Wu Jin didn't seem to notice her abnormality, put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "I have already guessed who it is, Huangfu Qu, my old opponent at the beginning, I heard that he stayed in Baifu Commercial Bank as a big steward after he was dismissed, and he should be behind the scenes." ”

As he spoke, his hand was inadvertently and slowly lowered, and it landed on Qi Fengwu's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, Qi Fengwu was shocked, his body became stiff in an instant, like a stone sculpture, her mind was blank, she didn't know what Wu Jin said.

Wu Jin took his hand back, as if he was just passing by Qi Fengwu's shoulder, and he continued: "It is estimated that he never dreamed that the run on Jiangning County would affect Weiyang County, and with Liu Sijun dead, the alliance between Donglai and Baifu will be broken, and the two of them are now too busy to take care of themselves." ”

"Childe!"

Qi Fengwu's cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head, and her voice was as small as a mosquito, "Do you have the heart to marry me because you want to marry the Qi family?" ”

Wu Jin shook his head and stared into her gaze, "When I ate noodles in the small noodle restaurant, I was amazed at you, and I swore at that time that I would marry this woman." ”

Qi Fengwu raised her head, her eyes flashed with brilliance, and she looked at Wu Jin Dao brightly: "Then you promise me that before this marriage is completed, you will treat me with courtesy." ”

Wu Jin smiled faintly, he stretched out his hand and opened the car window, "Then let's continue to talk about the countermeasures of Baifu Commercial Bank, I estimate that Weiyang County will not be as tragic as Jiangning County, but Huangfu Qu has always done things by unscrupulous means, and the most important thing to beware of is this person's despicable methods, just like he set fire to Qi Dafu in Beishi." ”

Qi Fengwu felt extremely lost in her heart, she was very remorseful in her heart, although she said that she asked Wujin to treat her politely, but Wujin opened the window and talked to her about Baifu Firm seriously, she felt that she had really become a victim of a marriage of interests, Wujin didn't like her, she just wanted to marry the Qi family, this sense of loss filled her heart with an inexplicable sadness.

She said in a low voice: "Childe, let's talk about this matter later!" I'm a little unwell. ”

Wu Jin was also silent, he stared out the window silently, Qi Fengwu's sentence 'Before this marriage is completed, you have to treat me with courtesy', which also stabbed his self-esteem, Qi Fengwu just agreed to marry him for the benefit of the Qi family, she didn't like herself at all.

....... The carriage traveled quickly and entered Weiyang County from the South City Gate, Wu Jin was still silently looking at the familiar street outside, without looking back at Qi Fengwu, at this time Qi Fengwu also opened the window on his side, looking at the streets of Weiyang County, the cold wind blew into the carriage, making the carriage become cold.

At this time, a huge noise came from outside the car window, only to see dozens of steps away, in front of the Nanshi Baifu Money Village, there was a sea of people, anxious, angry expressions and Jiangning County as a withdrawal, the difference is that there are more than a dozen officials here, and more than 100 township soldiers, desperately trying to maintain order, the township soldiers continue to catch the angry people out of the crowd, with wooden sticks for a while, the angry people are beaten immobilized, they go to arrest another person, I have to admit that this kind of violent means of countering violence is quite effective, so that although the scene is chaotic, but not out of control.

Wu Jin suddenly saw a familiar figure, wearing a new official uniform commanding the officials, it was his eldest brother Huangfu Weiming, the new county magistrate of Weiyang County.

"Weiming!"

Wu Jin shouted, waving his arm, and Huangfu Weiming turned around and saw him, and a burst of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The carriage stopped, and Qi Fengwu whispered, "Childe, I'll go sit with Jiutian." ”

She got up and got out of the carriage, "Feng Wu!" Wu Jin called her in a low voice, Qi Fengwu wiped away the tears on her face, turned around and forced a smile, "Childe, is there anything else?" ”

Wu Jin sighed softly in his heart, and said softly: "Feng Wu, I have always liked you, I want to marry you because I like you, and marrying the Qi family is just an excuse." ”

Qi Fengwu's eyes were red, and she nodded, "Childe, I know." ”

She got out of the carriage and walked quickly to the car behind, Wu Jin didn't feel good in his heart, but at this time he couldn't take care of it, Huangfu Weiming was walking this way.

Wu Jin also got out of the carriage and greeted him with a smile, the two brothers didn't say anything, they looked at each other, and hugged each other tightly, at this time, any words were superfluous.

"When did you arrive?" Wei Ming looked at his brother and smiled.

"I just arrived, I came by boat and got off the ship from the military port."

Wei Ming nodded, he turned around and saw Su Han who was peeking out of the car window, and said with a smile: "That's your new wife!" When will I show you my sister-in-law, Luo Luo and Duoduo miss you very much. ”

Wu Jin thought of that pair of lovely nephews and nieces, and he couldn't help laughing, "Those little naughty pairs, I miss them too!" ”

Wei Ming patted him on the shoulder, stared at him and said, "There are some things that don't need to be said, I know it in my heart, but no matter what, we will always be brothers." ”

"Big brother! I understand. ”

A knot in Wu Jin's heart suddenly disappeared at this moment, and his heart also became brighter, and just now because of Qi Fengwu's unhappiness, he also disappeared without a trace.

"Does the eldest brother know the situation in Jiangning County?" Wu Jin asked with a smile.

"I heard Master Su say a little bit this morning, it is said that it is very tragic, six money houses were looted, and two were burned, to be honest, I am very worried about Weiyang County, Qi Dafu in North City the day before yesterday was also burned."

"Does the eldest brother know why Qi Dafu was burned?"

Wei Ming's expression became a little annoyed, and he snorted heavily, "I know, it was Huangfu Qu who did it, the arsonist has been caught and confessed, I wanted to arrest him, but he hid, and I will clean him up later." ”

A thought suddenly flashed in Wu Jin's heart, and he smiled: "Or I'll catch him for you." ”

Wei Ming was overjoyed, "That's good! ”

He suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said: "How many people have you brought here, can you lend me a little, I have no one in my hands, if something big happens in Weiyang County, I can't keep this county order." ”

Wu Jin smiled slightly, he waved to a plum blossom guard soldier on horseback, the soldier urged the horse forward, turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Please command, general!" ”

Wu Jin took out an arrow and gave it to him, "Go to the Water Army Mansion to find General Lin Yuanyang, just say my order, let him transfer five hundred sergeants to assist the Huangfu County Order, and another three hundred sergeants to the Eight Immortals Bridge Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang to maintain order." ”

Sergeant Plum Blossom Guard agreed, took the order and left, but Ming was overjoyed, brother is really timely rain!

Wu Jin arched his hand to him and smiled: "Big brother is busy first, I'll arrange it first, and I'll go to visit my sister-in-law when I settle down." ”

"Okay, you can go, I'm going to maintain order too."

Wei Ming patted his shoulder again, turned around and strode away.

"Husband!" Su Han called him from behind.

Wu Jin stepped forward and smiled, "Did you just see it?" That's my eldest brother. ”

"I see, when are we going to see my sister-in-law, and the two little ones, I have prepared gifts for them."

"Really? Thank you very much. ”

Wu Jin was very relieved to see that his wife was thoughtful, and Su Han smiled slightly: "Don't think about these things, think about big things." ”

She gave Wu Jin another look, "Do you want to sit with us?" ”

Wu Jin knew that she was referring to Qi Fengwu, so he shook his head and smiled, "No need, I'll go to the Eight Immortals Bridge soon, I want to rest for a while first." ”

He returned to his carriage, and the procession continued on its way, and soon the convoy arrived at the Baxian Bridge and slowly stopped at the north bridge.

The Eight Immortals Bridge at this time was completely different from the Eight Immortals Bridge when he left, first of all, the bridge was widened and reinforced, and three carriages could be accommodated in parallel.

And the low house on the north bank, that is, the two acres of land that Wu Jin and Qi Fengwu fought for has been demolished, and a four-story Jin Fu Ji Restaurant has been built, which is not known to Jin, the big shopkeeper is the former Yang Ji Restaurant Xu shopkeeper, he has a percent, do extremely hard, plus the support of the market, the restaurant business is very prosperous, has completely replaced the scenery of the former Yang Ji Restaurant, and the business of Yang Ji Restaurant has become very dull.

The biggest change is the south bank, Wu Jin bought that piece of land has been lined with shops, Jin Fu Ji big money village, Li Ji jewelry, Qi Ruifu silk, Zhao's sea goods store and so on more than a dozen big stores, the back of the God of Wealth Temple has also been rebuilt, with the prosperity of the plot together with the prosperity of the incense flourished.

However, the two acres of land facing the bridge are still empty, which is the best plot in the city, and some people are willing to bid 40,000 taels of silver to buy it, far exceeding the price of 30,000 taels of Yang Ji Restaurant that year, but this land Wujin has his ideas.

The newly renovated Jin Fu Ji Daqian Zhuang is the largest building of all the shops, covering an area of ten acres, is a long building, the appearance and interior decoration are exactly the same as Qi Dafu not far away.

However, the atmosphere of the Eight Immortals Bridge is very tense, people come and go, the expression of each pedestrian is very solemn, the more east the flow of people, although there is a small turn in the river, and the willows on both sides of the river are dense, and the situation of Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang can not be seen, but the shouting sound from there is clearly audible.

Qi Fengwu's face changed, she jumped out of the carriage and was about to run over, but Wu Jin grabbed her arm, "Wait a minute!" ”

This time, Qi Fengwu was not as nervous as in the carriage, she said to Wu Jin with a hint of pleading: "Childe, you can accompany me over to have a look, okay?" ”

Wu Jin nodded and let go of her arm, "Let's go to Jin Fu Ji to settle down first, and then I will accompany you to Qi Dafu." ”
