Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Secret Letter

Feng Chayun got out of the entanglement of the little ghosts, but at this time he was unrecognizable, his clothes were torn, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his hair was covered with feces and urine, and the smell was so bad that he was going crazy, but the beggars ran cleanly, making him crazy and having nowhere to vent.

Although he is strong in martial arts, he must also have an opponent, like this kind of beggar, indiscriminately fighting, it is useless to have a body of martial arts, more importantly, Feng Chayun has no experience in dealing with beggars, beggars have leaders, and the thief can capture the king first, or he shouts to the soldiers, he is performing top-secret official duties, and those soldiers have the obligation to help him expel the beggars, but unfortunately he still doesn't understand this kind of human sophistication.

The people on the street pointed at him from afar, covered their mouths and smiled, and the soldiers defending the city even laughed and hurt their stomachs, and the shadow warriors who stood tall above suddenly turned into pheasants in distress.

........

In the room, Heimi handed a letter to Wu Jin, at this time it was less than a cup of tea before the beggars besieged the shadow warrior, Wu Jin took the letter, and saw that the envelope was written 'Changshi Xu Yuan Qinqi', and the payment was made by Shao Yin Shenyuan of Jiangning Mansion, it should be this letter, Wu Jin raised the letter again and looked through the light, it seemed that there were two pieces of paper.

Of course he wants to see it, but there is fire paint on it, and it will be broken as soon as it is opened, Su Hanzhen's request to him is not to startle the snake, so this letter must be returned immediately intact, if it is an ordinary envelope, it is good to say, but this is an official envelope, he was a little embarrassed for a while, but the black rice next to him was experienced, he picked up the envelope and looked at it, and said with a smile: "There are masters who do this kind of thing!" Childe comes with me, in North City. ”

The North City is very large, covering an area of more than 200 acres, there are many streets and alleys in the North City itself, Wu Jin followed Heimi to a narrow alley, until the end, it is a dilapidated small door, there is a sign on the door, 'Luo Ji Printing Workshop'

It turned out to be a private printing workshop, and Heimi laughed in a low voice: "This is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, so he doesn't make money from printing." ”

Heimi knocked on the door, and the door was opened by a thin teenager, he knew Heimi, "It turned out to be Uncle Hei, are you looking for my father?" ”

"Hmmm! Is he there? ”

"In!"

The boy ran back to the house, "Daddy, Uncle Black is looking for you." ”

I saw a man in his thirties walking out, his appearance was very ordinary, and he couldn't see anything special, but Wu Jin noticed that his ten fingers were particularly slender, maybe this was what made him special.

The man was very familiar with Heimi, and gave him a punch with a smile, "You kid hasn't come to take care of my business for a long time, and I'm dying of hunger." ”

Heimi smiled, "Isn't this coming?" ”

He pointed at Wu Jin, "This is my brother-in-law, called Wu Jin Gongzi, I want you to help me if I have something." ”

He whispered to the man, "Absolutely reliable! ”

The man nodded, hugged his fists to Wujin and smiled: "In Xia Luoyu, nicknamed 'Dragon Claw', if there is any printing matter in the future of Wujin Gongzi, you might as well take care of the small shop, if it is not printed outside, I will print it here." ”

Wu Jin understood, such as train tickets and tax stamps, which he also had in his time, and he asked with some curiosity: "Can the silver ticket also be printed?" ”

"Childe, that's a good question!"

Luo Yu smiled faintly, "The silver tickets of Donglai Money Village and Baifu Money Village are too risky, the court has issued a decree, and those who counterfeit the silver tickets of these two money houses will all be wiped out, so no one dares to fake, and I will not accept it, and although there is no punishment for counterfeiting Qi Dafu's silver tickets, but their anti-counterfeiting technology is too difficult, I have also tried to crack it, I have concocted a glue, unfortunately, there are only five colors in the light, there is no seven colors like them, if it can't be exactly the same, I think it is a failure, so I don't take it, so Gongzi asked well, Except for silver and money stamps, everything else is printed. ”

Wu Jin was just curious, he nodded, "I understand, but there is something to trouble Brother Luo today." ”

He handed the letter to Luo Yu, and Heimi smiled on the side: "Please help us make the same letter for us, including paper envelopes." ”

Luo Yu looked at the envelope and couldn't help laughing: "I have the official letter from Jiangning Mansion, the envelope and the stationery, please come with me." ”

He led the two into a small room, which was dimly lit and filled with all kinds of prints, except for a shabby desk, presumably his office.

Luo Yu took out a few blank envelopes from a pile of papers, and Wu Jin recognized them at a glance, which were exactly the same as the envelopes of the letter, all printed with the red letters of the Jiangning Mansion.

He turned around and asked Wujin, "What did Childe say?" Just want to change the envelope, or write a new letter? ”

Heimi hurriedly explained to Wu Jin: "Lao Luo's nickname Dragon Claw actually means that he is good at imitating handwriting, and he can do it with the fake, unless he is the same master or himself, he can distinguish it, and ordinary people can't see it." ”

Only then did Wu Jin understand that there were indeed many ghosts on the left side of the door, and he had seen it today, so he nodded, "I'll read the letter first." ”

Luo Yu took out the generally sharp thin-bladed knife, carefully cut the envelope from the back, pulled out the contents and handed it to him, Wu Jin read it again, and pondered for a moment, "I can copy the content of the letter myself, please make me an envelope again." ”

"No problem, Childe waits, it'll be fine right away!"

............

Among the five major families involved in the competition for the head of Hucao, the Guan family is undoubtedly unique, it is completely different from other families, whether it is the Huangfu family or the Huang family, or the Ma family and the Chen family, these are all local business families in Donghai County, making a fortune by business, but they can only be regarded as second-rate families in Donghai County, because they have no status in the officialdom, or they are not big businessmen with national surnames.

There are only two first-class families in Donghai County, one is the Qi family in Pingjiang County, Qi Ruifu Commercial Bank, one of the three major commercial houses in the country, rich and rivaling the country, with the gold medal given to their family by Emperor Muzong, and they must not be moved lightly unless they rebel.

The second is the Guan family in Weiyang County, the official eunuch family, also involved in overseas trade, the rich party, the Guan family has entered the officialdom for two hundred years, and the high positions such as the history of the assassin, the squire, the Shangshu, the Xiangguo and so on have had the figure of the Guan family.

But the Guan family also has its troubles, the biggest trouble of the Guan family is that the people are not prosperous, and sixty years ago, the Guan family also suffered a family crisis, when the old man of the Guan family had a 80th birthday, more than 100 people of the Guan family in Hejian County, Jizhou, took a boat to Weiyang to celebrate his birthday, but on the way the big ship sank in a storm, and all the people on board were killed.

The old house of the Guan family is located next to the Sanqing Bridge in the south of the city, it is a huge mansion covering an area of about fifty acres, at this time in the east room, took a bath, changed into a clean clothes Feng Chaiyun was taken to the inner hall by the maid, he was very depressed, he found that his waist bag was gone, there were dozens of taels of silver and a letter in it, in addition to the nameplate of his shadow warrior.

It doesn't matter if the silver is lost, it doesn't matter if the Shadow Warrior card is lost, it can be reissued, but that letter is very important, it is a handwritten letter written by Shen Yuan to Xu Yuan, although he does not know the content, but Shen Yuan has repeatedly told him that he must hand it over to Xu Yuan, the long history.

There are already three people sitting in the inner hall, Guan Baoqing, the old man of the Guan family, Guan Ming, the second son, and one is a literati, named Zhao Yiming, who came from the capital, and he is the confidant of the eldest son Guan Lian.

The Guan family is the largest household in Weiyang County, and it is also the same as the Huangfu clan in the East China Sea, famous for overseas trade, but unlike the Huangfu family, the Guan family is also a big landlord in Weiyang County, with 5,000 hectares of fertile land in various parts of Chuzhou, forty years ago, Guan Yifei, the father of the old man, Guan Yifei, did the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the old man Guan himself also did the Yin of Jiangning Mansion back then, it can be said that the Guan family is also an official eunuch, and the son of the Guan family, that is, Guan Xianju's father, Guan Lian, is currently in the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Court, and it is this powerful power background, So that the Guan family has always had a clear advantage in the election of the head of Hucao.

The eldest grandson Guan Xianju is twenty-four years old this year, with good looks and a steady atmosphere, and is the leader of the younger generation in Weiyang County, but it is a pity that in the state examination last year, Guan Xianju did not play well, ranking one hundred and one, only one was missing and failed to be admitted to the Gongju Shi, which also made him lose the qualification to enter Beijing to participate in the Jinshi Imperial Examination, he was just a lifter, and he could only participate in the Ming Jingke examination when he entered Beijing, but the arrogant Guan family wanted to let the knowledgeable eldest grandson be admitted to the Jinshi, they did not look down on the Ming Jingke, and they were ready to take the state examination again the year after next to obtain the qualification of the Gongjushi.

This time, the Guan family originally planned to let the second grandson Guan Xianyi represent the Guan family to run for the head of the household, but the eldest grandson Guan Xianju insisted on running for the election, which disrupted the plan of the Guan family a little.

Old Man Guan has always been a little worried about this matter, and today Zhao Yiming came to relieve Old Man Guan's dissatisfaction.

Zhao Yiming bowed and said with a smile: "Elder Ge, the eldest young master has a great happy event for me to convey to my family. ”

Zhao Yiming's cheerful tone and surprised expression did not move Guan Baoqing, he is seventy-two years old this year, and the ups and downs he has experienced for decades have already made his city government hidden, and he does not show his face, he smiled faintly, "Mr. Zhao, please speak, I will listen to you." ”

"Two months ago, someone complained to the imperial court officials, saying that among the 100 tribute soldiers in Chuzhou last year, the seventh tribute priest Shi Hong from Danyang County did not meet the qualifications, he was not a lifter, and this report of the officials department has sent someone to investigate, which is completely true."

"And then?" Guan Baoqing is a little interested.
