Wei Ming was stunned and stared at Wu Jin, "What do you mean?" ”

At this time, the two little guys used Wu Jin's shoulders as a slide, and slid off his shoulders one after another, giggling happily, but Ming's face sank, and he said to the two brothers and sisters: "You two go outside to play, Daddy is talking to uncle, don't make trouble here." ”

The two little guys saw that their father was unhappy, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to be naughty, Wu Jin slapped the two little buttocks and said with a smile: "Go ahead!" Next time, Uncle will play with you. ”

Watching the two little guys go out, Wu Jin smiled faintly and said, "This is going to the capital, does the eldest brother really want to come back and be the head of Hucao?" ”

Wei Ming understood what his brother meant, he pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I also considered, even if I am admitted to the Jinshi, most people also start from the main book of Jiupin, unless there is a very hard backstage, generally few people can directly serve as the county commander, and the head of Hu Cao, after two years, can also be directly promoted to the main book, and it is generally the county master of Donghai County, the five counties of Donghai County are relatively wealthy, and it is easy to make political achievements, I am afraid that no one has no backstage, and it is difficult to turn over if no one has a backstage, and it will be difficult to turn over if they are thrown to a small county in the northwest or Lingnan." ”

"It's not bad for big brother to leave a way back like this, but what I mean is to try your best to fight for it, and don't think that if you have a way back, you should relax yourself."

"Let's talk about it!"

Wei Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I will be admitted to the Jinshi first and then consider the others." ”

At this time, Qi Xinlan's voice came from the courtyard, "Da Lang, Wu Jin, grandfather is here!" ”

"Invite Grandpa in!"

Wei Ming hurriedly struggled to get up, but Wu Jin hurriedly held him down, "Big brother, don't move, I'll come!" ”

"Huh! It turns out that Wu Jin is also here! ”

There was a laugh from Huangfu Bailing at the door, "It's just right, I also have something to ask Wujin." ”

Wu Jin greeted him and said with a smile: "What does grandfather have to tell his grandson?" ”

"Hmmm! Let me ask you if your master ever gave you two things when he died, one is a wine gourd and the other is a Bayeux scripture. ”

Wu Jin remembered that there were two things that Hei Mei gave him some time ago, "Yes, in the pawnshop!" ”

"Go get it! I have something to talk to you about. ”

Wu Jin nodded, turned back to Wei Ming and said, "Big brother, my grandfather asked me to take one thing, I'll go to the pawnshop and come back immediately." ”

"Go ahead!"

Wu Jin walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard, but Huangfu Bailing also beckoned to Qi Xinlan, "Daughter-in-law Sun, you can come in too!" I have one thing to say to you couples. ”

．．．．．．．． Wu Jin hurried back to the pawnshop, it was already dark, the shops in Baxian Bridge were basically closed, and the road became obviously deserted, only pedestrians who hurried out of the city to the dock. As soon as he reached the door of the pawnshop, he saw two dark shadows pacing back and forth at the door, looking preoccupied, and from time to time secretly peeking into the pawnshop through the crack in the door.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Wu Jin walked up behind him and asked suddenly.

The two black shadows trembled in fright, and when they turned their heads to recognize Wu Jin, the two of them 'pounced!' He knelt down and kowtowed to Wujin again and again, "Huangfu Gongzi, I was wrong, please spare me!" ”

It was a man and a woman, Wu Jin recognized the man, it was Yang Jingzhou, the proprietor of Yang Ji Restaurant, and the other woman had a thick powder on her face, and a choking aroma came to her face, it was estimated that she was Yang Jingzhou's wife.

The two kowtowed like garlic, begging for mercy again and again, Wu Jin couldn't help but pretend to be surprised: "Yang Dongzhu, you found the wrong person, I didn't do anything to you!" ”

Yang Jingzhou was full of remorse in his heart, today there were three groups of beggars more than 800 people took turns to come to his restaurant, from noon to night, Lai begged in his restaurant, making it filthy and dirty, he was helpless, he had to set up more than a dozen tables of banquets to invite them to eat, but after eating, a group of people left, and another group of beggars, clamoring for him to do good deeds, for a whole day, there was no guest, the guys resigned and left five or six people, and what scared him even more was that nearly 10,000 beggars in the entire Weiyang County wanted to come to his restaurant to eat for a month.

Only then did he realize that he was in big trouble, and he couldn't figure out that his restaurant was going to be destroyed from now on, and then a guy reminded him that this might be related to the prince he offended in the morning, Yang Jingzhou finally came to his senses, and brought his wife to beg for mercy, and happened to meet Wujin to come back to get something.

"Huangfu Gongzi, this old killer in my family is a dog who eats, and he can't speak human words, please spare us!"

Wu Jin glanced at this young woman dressed in a bewitching manner, he suddenly remembered a saying, so he asked her, "Are you a woman from the Qi family?" ”

"Yes! Be! My maiden family is the Qi family of Pingjiang County. ”

"Come in and talk, I have something to ask you."

The pawnshop door had already opened, and Huang Fugui was staring at the living treasure couple with a look of disdain.

Wu Jin sat on the chair, a couple stood aside with their hands down, both bowing their heads respectfully, not daring to speak, Wu Jin took a sip of herbal tea from the emperor's expensive teapot, and then said lukewarmly: "I did say hello to the three-eyed Maitreya and asked him to take care of your business, it seems that your business is good." ”

Yang Jingzhou was about to cry, "Childe, I'm blind, please spare me!" I don't dare to mention the matter of the Eight Immortals Bridge anymore. ”

He is still quite smart, he showed his attitude first, Wu Jin nodded, attitude is very important, since Yang Jingzhou knows that it is powerful, he doesn't want to force them too much.

His gaze turned to Yang Jingzhou's wife again, and asked her, "You are Qi Yang's family, right!" ”

"Yes! The slave family is exactly. ”

"Let me ask you, who is the Qi family in charge of the money village? Isn't that Qi Shiro? ”

Qi Yang shook his head, "My fourth brother is in charge of silkworm cocoons, he is in charge of the opening of Qianzhuang for my second brother Qi Wei, and the second brother is in charge of Qianzhuang." ”

"That's not right! I remember that she was a little lady in charge of the money bank, and she came a few days ago, and I saw that the shopkeeper Liu was respectful to her. ”

"That's my eldest brother's third daughter, Feng Wu, she is responsible for supervising the Qi stores in various places, and the last time she came was to check the accounts of the preparation of the money village."

"It turns out that her name is Qi Fengwu."

Wu Jin nodded secretly, he only knew her name now, and she was monitoring everywhere, and he didn't know when she would come again next time.

"Alright, go back! Tomorrow the beggars will not trouble you. ”

"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe! ”

Yang Jingzhou and his wife were relieved and ran away in a panic.

"Phew!" Huangfu Gui spat heavily at their backs and scolded: "The iron rooster that does not pull out a hair, he actually came to the door empty-handed, and he was insincere. ”

"Fifth uncle, forget it, don't have general knowledge with this kind of villain."

"I don't pay attention to this kind of person, and drive my loyal shopkeeper away, Yang Ji Restaurant is finished."

He snorted coldly, and said proudly to Wu Jin: "Wu Jin, I went to visit the shopkeeper Xu just now, and he has already agreed to do it with us!" ”

"Oh, so refreshing?" Wu Jin also thought that Shopkeeper Xu would excuse himself.

"He also had no choice, his family was really poor, and he was worried that he had nowhere to find something to do, so he immediately agreed to come to Jinfu Ji to do things."

Wu Jin was overjoyed in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Then when will he come over?" ”

"He may have to go to Jiangning Mansion first, his son is in Jiangning Mansion to see a doctor, he is not very relieved, and said that he will come to us to do things after he comes back."

"Thank you Fifth Uncle for this."

Wu Jin walked a few steps and remembered another thing, turned around and instructed Huang Fugui: "Fifth uncle, what I told you about the construction of the money village in the morning, I see that the Dafu money village is built well, just that craftsman, to start work as soon as possible, I hope that after I come back from the capital, the money village can be opened." ”

"No problem, I'll go to them early tomorrow morning, I'll gradually transfer the matter to the black pig at the pawnshop, and I'll just take care of the big order and the money village in the future."

Wu Jin was afraid that his grandfather would be in a hurry, so he ran back to his room, found the wine gourd and Bayeux scriptures in a leather case under the bed, and hurried back to the Huangfu mansion.

Back in the eldest brother's yard, my grandfather had already gone back, and my sister-in-law Qi Xinlan was sitting in the yard peeling beans, lazy and unhappy.

"Sister-in-law..... What's wrong? Wu Jin asked a little strangely. Your eldest brother will be so happy that he can't sleep at night. ”

Qi Xinlan angrily threw a bean into the small bowl, "Your grandfather wants to give him a concubine, and he pretends not to want it, I think his heart is going to bloom." ”

"Concubine?"

Wu Jin was stunned, why did he come to this matter inexplicably, how could his grandfather think of letting his eldest brother take a concubine?

"It's a woman who knows martial arts, she said that she wants to protect your eldest brother closely, she is twenty-two years old this year, and the people from Yuyao say that she looks like a flower and jade, and your eldest brother's mouth is crooked, and it's useless for me to be an old woman!"

"When did I say I wanted it, don't wronged me, besides, my grandfather is also well-intentioned, how can I refuse in person." Wei Ming's sullen voice came from the room, and he was also very unhappy.

"Wujin, look at it, he also said that his grandfather was kind-hearted, and it was not good to refuse in person, which clearly exposed his heart, hum! Hypocrisy at its core. ”

"Who do you say is hypocritical?"

"That's you, huh! Hypocrite. ”

The more Qi Xinlan talked, the more angry she became, she angrily picked up the bean pot and went into the kitchen, Wu Jin smiled awkwardly, he didn't want to be involved in this kind of thing, he sneaked out of the yard and went to find his grandfather.

．．．．．．． After listening to Wujin's description, Huangfu Bailing couldn't help but laugh, "This is what I expected, your sister-in-law is weak on the surface, but she is very strong on the inside, she is unwilling to marry a concubine, I can understand it." ”

Wu Jin wondered in his heart, "Then why did grandfather suddenly ask the eldest brother to marry a concubine?" The grandson didn't understand it and felt very abrupt. ”

"Actually, I also think it's abrupt."

Huangfu Bailing smiled helplessly, "This is actually your uncle's arrangement, you understand it now!" ”

Wu Jin suddenly realized that it was his uncle's arrangement, no wonder! How could grandfather find a woman who knows martial arts, it is estimated that this is to protect the eldest brother.

"I understand, the eldest brother is the key figure in the competition between the crown prince and the king of Chu for the financial power of the East China Sea, and last time there was a shadow warrior who wanted to assassinate the eldest brother, it was necessary to protect him."

Even so, Wu Jin felt that it was still a little unspeakably strange, he always felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Huangfu Bailing didn't say anything, so he changed the topic and asked: "What about the two things, did you bring them?" ”

Wu Jin hurriedly opened the suitcase, took out the purple gold wine gourd and the bay leaf scripture and put them on the table, "Grandfather, these are these two items." ”

Huangfu Bailing picked up the purple gold gourd, the old man's eyes became a little sad, he gently stroked the smooth gourd, and sighed lowly: "Forty years have passed since the change of Jin'an......"

Wu Jin saw that his grandfather was a little sad, thinking that he was a person who saw things, so he scratched his scalp and said, "Grandfather, this wine gourd has no meaning to me, or I will leave it to you!" ”

Huangfu Bailing shook his head with a smile, "Wujin, don't say that it doesn't mean to you, these two things have great significance to you, this time you enter Beijing, you give them to one person." ”

Wu Jin was confused when he heard it, what is the great significance, isn't this his master's wine gourd? There's nothing special about it, "Grandfather, don't play dumb riddles, tell your grandson, what's going on?" ”

"There are some things I can't say, you will naturally understand in the future, you remember, after entering Luojing, you went to Tianji Temple in the western suburbs of Luojing, and handed over these two things to the presiding Huineng Zen Master, remember?"

"Tianji Temple in the western suburbs, Zen Master Huineng, I remember."

Huangfu Bailing was afraid that he would remember wrongly, so he further reminded him, "Remember, it is an old monk about seventy years old, and there is a very conspicuous sword mark above his left eyebrow, don't give it to the wrong person." ”

．．．．．．．． The past two days were a more miserable day for Shi Xuyuan, the magistrate of Donghai County, things were going well, but Gao Heng suddenly gave up, ordered him to release him, and withdrew all charges against Huangfu Weiming, and even left Donghai County in a hurry without giving him any explanation, and threw a mess to him to clean up the aftermath.

Just when he had a headache and didn't know how to explain to Su Hanzhen, news suddenly came last night that his second son, who was studying in the county school, had an accident, and someone coaxed his second son out, and he was beaten violently, both arms were broken, and he was covered in bruises.

Xu Yuan was angry and scared in his heart, his son was whipped all over his body and bruised all over his body, which reminded him of Huangfu Weiming, his son's injuries were almost exactly the same as Huangfu Weiming, and even his arms were broken.

Get you back! Typical revenge, who did it? Su Hanzhen is still the Huangfu clan, Xu Yuan remembered Gao Heng's hasty departure again, and he began to realize that something must have happened here?

He believes that it is not the Donghai Huangfu clan, that timid and cowardly family does not have this kind of courage, Su Hanzhen? I really can't see it!

Xu Yuan walked around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about what he would do in the future. Whether to leave Donghai County or fight with Su Hanzhen again, he was already cowardly and wanted to transfer out of Donghai County, but his son's injury made him unwilling, and he didn't want to give up.

"Master, Jin Cheng has an urgent report!" The butler's voice came from the door.

Xu Yuan was stunned, this Jin Cheng is in charge of the household registration of the population, what will happen to him?

"Let him in!"

After a while, the housekeeper brought in a man in his early thirties, his name was Jin Jiong, who was in charge of the treasury for four years, and bought two houses in the family.

"Humble position, see Lord Changshi!"

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Xu Yuan asked lightly, although this person was single-handedly promoted by him back then, he is now wary of every Cao person.

"I want to report one thing to my lordship, this afternoon, Su Tingshi transferred the 900,000 taels of East Palace tax silver in the silver treasury."

Xu Yuan was taken aback, "You.... How do you know? ”

"The villain listened to Zhao Zheng, who was in charge of the accounts, and went to the silver treasury to see in person, that it was 900,000 taels of East Palace tax silver that was withdrawn."

"I see!"

Xu Yuan gasped and said to himself: "It seems that Su Hanzhen is preparing to release the East Palace tax silver into Beijing." ”
