There is a street near the south gate of the capital division with a huge rice shop on the street.

At the time of the arrival of the prosperous era, the prices in the south of the Yangtze River were stable, the farmers had a bumper harvest, and the role of the rice bank was gradually highlighted.

Rice and barley from the north and south were mobilized and exchanged with each other, and this rice store near the Qinhuai River played a huge role.

The name of this rice shop is "Taifeng Rice Shop", and it changed to a new shopkeeper two months ago, and the new shopkeeper's surname is Chen.

This Chen shopkeeper is a legend in the Beijing business community, because she is a woman, and this woman is not an ordinary woman, half a year ago, she from a little-known Jiangpu County with a tough attitude into the Beijing Division, in just half a year, like a dark horse killed in the sky, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, sweeping the Beijing business community, her business methods are ruthless and decisive, and the actions are simple and neat, no one in the Beijing business community dares to underestimate this female shopkeeper, and she can be described as respectful and afraid.

Mi Xing is a new property she recently put down, and this Mi Xing, which is close to the Qinhuai River in the south of the city, was seen by her at a glance.

How much profit will be generated between the transfer of rice from the south to the north, the transportation of wheat from the north to the south, and the back and forth between the north and the south?

Gold Wharf, prime location, such a profitable business, even if it costs sky-high prices to take it down, it can quickly recover the cost and generate benefits, why not?

Taifeng Rice Store is divided into two floors, the first floor is a warehouse for storing grain and rice, and the second floor is a delicate and elegant private residence.

Chen Ying'er stood at the window on the second floor, holding a steaming cup of tea in her hand, her eyes stared blankly at the grain ships and goods shuttling back and forth on the Qinhuai River outside the window, her eyes were full of deep worry, her expression was indifferent, as if the hustle and bustle on the river had nothing to do with her, she was like an indifferent god, with an earthly gaze, quietly watching the prosperity that did not belong to her.

The scandal between Xiao Fan and the county lord of Jiangdu has already caused a stir in Beijing, and everyone knows about it.

The county lord of Jiangdu was grounded in the palace by the Son of Heaven.

And Xiao Fan ...... But he was imprisoned for this, and I heard that the Son of Heaven intended to kill him. The reason for this was that the fool was unwilling to divorce his original marriage in order to marry the county lord.

Chen Ying'er's pretty face had a sour smile, sad and lonely.

So far, she's lost.

originally thought that Xiao Fan could refuse the Chen family's family affairs for the sake of that little beggar girl, but he didn't dare to refuse the county lord for the little beggar girl and the current emperor.

It turned out that she was wrong, and she was wildly wrong.

The former fiancé, under his gentle and elegant appearance, hides a stubborn heart, for the sake of the little beggar, he can ignore all the power in the world, all the persecution, all the pressure that prevents him from falling in love with the little beggar, even if he offends Long Yan, even if the sword is on his neck, he will not change his mind...... This nerd...... Does he love that little beggar so much? What is my Chen Ying'er that can't compare to her? When you took in the little beggar girl, it was because she had no food and clothing, because she was pitiful, and it was not my fault that I Chen Ying'er was born in a rich family! Why can't I get the slightest mercy from you? Do you know that I am also a beggar, humbly begging you for a little mercy, and I need pity too...... Thinking about it, a piercing pain churned repeatedly in Chen Ying'er's body, like ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, and she was in pain.

Resentment, regret, love, relief, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, indescribable, but the pain is so clear and so poignant.

Now that Xiao Fan is in prison, his life is on the verge of death, the county lord is banned, and he does not see the sky, at this moment, Chen Ying'er does not have the pleasure of revenge in her heart, but there are infinite resentments and worries in her heart.

Is it attachment to him that makes her unhappy, or is hatred itself not something that makes people happy?

The Tao is sunny but sunny.

Chen Ying'er was confused, and at the same time, there was a strong sense of remorse in her heart.

If they hadn't instigated the county lord of Jiangdu to take the initiative to show his love to Xiao Fan, the two of them wouldn't have to suffer this calamity today, right? All of this started because of himself, and now that Xiao Fan is about to go to the court, the name of the county lord of Jiangdu has been ruined, but this result is not what Chen Ying'er wants to see...... But...... At this point, she is just a businesswoman, what is the way to resolve this death situation that affects the court society?

"The shopkeeper's ,...... There is a small thing to report...... "A middle-aged housekeeper named Wang Gui stood at the handrail of the stairs on the first floor and said cautiously.

Chen Ying'er quickly wiped away the tears on her pretty face, and when she turned her head, she had already recovered the refinement and decisiveness of a strong woman.

"Why hasn't the grain ship set sail yet? What's the report? ”

Wang Gui smiled and said: "Originally, the grain ship was going to set sail, but when the grain was loaded from the tiger warehouse in the south of the city and ready to be shipped, there was a little accident, and the shopkeeper should not have been alarmed, but this matter may be related to the government, and the small one dare not ...... it without authorization."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Ying'er frowned impatiently and interrupted: "To put it simply, what's going on?" ”

"Yes, yes, when the grain was filled with the ship and ready to be transported to the north, suddenly a few people came up, and the leader was very generous, gave the boat boss a hundred taels of silver, and asked the boat boss to take them out of Beijing, they only asked to go out of the Qinhuai River, and when they arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, they put them on the shore, and the small one watched from the side, and felt that things were a little strange, so they ......"

Chen Ying'er's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and she reprimanded coldly: "Wang Gui, you know my surname, do one thing well, I don't want any branches to grow in the middle, even if it is to transport grain, don't bring any unknown guests, save us from making trouble for ourselves, do you still need me to teach you?" ”

Wang Gui was trained in a cold sweat, and hurriedly explained: "The shopkeeper is right, the small one will drive them off the boat, it is said that the small one thinks too much, but he thinks that their whereabouts are a little sneaky, and he can't help but pay more attention to it, and find that one of them is disguised as a merchant, and then the river wind blows off his hat, revealing his bald head, and the little one feels faintly familiar, and the monk who was arrested by the government everywhere a few years ago...... It's a little eventful, and that's what drives them away......"

Wang Gui said as he bowed back and stepped back.

Chen Ying'er hummed lightly, turned her head and didn't look at him again, and looked out the window in a daze.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ying'er had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and quickly turned around and shouted coldly: "Wang Gui, come back!" ”

Wang Gui, who had retreated to the door of the first floor, hurriedly walked down the stairs again when he heard this.

"You just said that one of them looks like a wanted prisoner by the government? And a monk? ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper."

"What monk?"

"I heard that it is the wanted list issued by Xiao Tongzhi of Jinyi Wei, the monk is called Daoyan, he is the staff of the fourth prince Yan Wang, he is a good manly flower monk, and it is rumored in the market that this monk has a holiday with Xiao Tongzhi......"

Chen Ying'er's eyes lit up: "Have you had a holiday with Xiao Tongzhi?" ”

Wang Gui said with a smile: "This is what those scoundrels outside said when they were chatting, Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, King Yan, those are all big people who have stood up to the sky, and we ordinary people just have fun, who knows if it's true or not......"

Chen Ying'er thought for a while and said, "No matter what, find a way to restrain a few of them first, if they are criminals of the imperial court and take them out of the capital, we will have to eat a lawsuit." ”

Wang Gui was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper can rest assured, there are a lot of coolies in our rice shop, I heard that a few of them have practiced their legs and feet for a few days, and their skills are very good. ”

Chen Ying'er nodded: "Go ahead." Be careful and neat. ”

"Shopkeeper, just wait for the letter!"

It didn't take long for me to hear a sudden silence below Mi Xing, followed by a sound of fists and kicks and scolding, and calm was restored after the noise.

Wang Gui's voice came from downstairs from afar: "The shopkeeper is done." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ying'er's mouth, and it disappeared quickly. got up and curled downstairs, but saw several people tied in the middle of the rice line, all glaring at her, one of them had his hat knocked off, a round bald head stood out, particularly eye-catching, he was wearing a gray short robe, leggings under his feet, and a few strands of fake beards and a cloth bag fell on the ground, which was exactly the dress of a merchant.

Chen Ying'er looked at him coldly, and after a while, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she said coldly: "Are you Daoyan?" ”

The kidnapped monk was Dao Yan, and he was taken aback when he heard this.

He was recuperating on Jubao Mountain in the southern suburbs of Beijing, Zhu Di took special care of him, and sent a few people to accompany the waiter, according to the plan they agreed, originally planned to wait for Zhu Di to go out of Beijing to Beiping to pick up Daoyan halfway to go together, but the Ministry of War transferred troops from three provinces to aid Beiping, this action was too big, and it was impossible to prepare properly for more than ten days. He was worried that Dao Yan would not be able to recuperate from his injuries in the dark and damp environment of the cave, so Zhu Di secretly instructed Dao Yan to take his entourage to return to Beiping by water in disguise, while he would finish the matter before leaving.

It's a pity that this place in Jingshi is too bad for the fate of Daoyan monks, the feng shui is too bad, Daoyan and his entourage in disguise, just got off Jubao Mountain, and casually found a grain ship to transport grain to the north, but just got on the boat, still waiting for the ship to load grain, who expected that the guys in the rice line said that they would turn their faces, and they were unprepared, and they were put down in three or two strokes.

Dao Yan still hasn't figured out how he offended them, and he doesn't understand why the arrogant and ruthless woman in front of him knows him, but since people have called his name, such as today's government has painted his appearance, it is useless to deny it, Dao Yan sighed when he heard this: "How do you know me?" ”

Chen Ying'er saw that he admitted it, and couldn't help but smile coldly: "The name of the master is known today, how dare the little girl not know it?" ”

Dao Yan's old face gradually appeared in despair: "What are you going to do with me?" ”

Chen Ying'er was in the market, and she didn't know all the complicated grievances of Xiao Fan, King Yan, and Daoyan, the princes and ministers of the court. Hearing this, Xiu's eyebrows frowned, yes, what should I do with him? Although I know that he has a grudge against Xiao Fan, but now that Xiao Fan is in prison and in danger, what can I do if I help him catch an enemy? Can you save Xiao Fan?

Chen Ying'er smiled bitterly, she felt as if she had done something very meaningless.

That's it, your imprisonment is all because of me, if you are killed, I Chen Ying'er will pay you for this life, plus the life of your enemy, it can be regarded as paying you interest. - No guilt and no job, two by two.

Chen Ying'er sighed bitterly, waved her hand happily, and instructed the guys in Mi Xing: "Send this monk to the Yamen of Jinyi Wei Town, and remember, personally hand over to Master Cao Yi Cao of the Thousand Households of their Yamen." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Fan, Cao Yi tried his best to arrest the Daoyan monk but to no avail, so he was tied up by a group of vulgar coolies in the market, like tying a dead dog, and was carried out of the gate of the rice shop in a very sloppy posture.

Dao Yan was carried high by the elated Mi Xing people, and a group of people swaggered through the city and walked towards the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division.

Dao Yan opened his eyes, his eyes were full of bitterness and bitterness, his luck had been ...... recently It's hard to describe. Looking at the gloomy sky in a daze and despair, Dao Yan felt a burst of sadness in his heart, and muttered the Buddha's name: "Amitabha Buddha - if I don't go to hell, who will go to ...... Fuck it! I don't go to hell, whoever loves to get into whoever fucking does! ! Put me down! I'll give you silver! Ten thousand taels, no! 100,000 taels! ”

In the Yamen of Jinyi Wei Town, Cao Yi, who was at a loss to save Xiao Fan, suddenly heard that someone sent the Daoyan monk to the door, Cao Yi's first reaction at that time was to be stunned, that feeling was like God was kind and smashed a bunch of bread to a poor man who was about to starve to death.

Rushing out with a few steps full of surprise, he touched the Daoyan monk who was tied up and down, and finally verified his body, and determined that what God smashed down was not a stone, but indeed a dough cake.

Cao Yi, who was overjoyed, didn't have time to ask Dao Yan carefully about how he was arrested, and a brocade-clothed spy dressed in people's clothes outside the yamen hurriedly rushed over and whispered a few words in Cao Yi's ear.

As soon as the spy finished speaking, Cao Yi's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Call the Venerable Master and go to the Yanwang Courtyard with Lao Tzu!" Fast! It's too late, and you're going to die! …… Also, take this monk with you! ”

The inner hall of the Yanwang Courtyard.

The snowy light of the dagger was getting closer and closer to Zhu Di's chest, Xiao Thrush's eyes showed a fierce light, and his tight pretty face had no father-daughter affection, only a murderous scene.

If you can't live, don't live!

This is the only thing that the young thrush thinks in his heart, very simple and stupid.

Thrush just wants to be a simple silly girl, a silly wife who pounces on Xianggong wholeheartedly.

For Xiao Fan, she is willing to do anything, even if it is a rebellious father-killing.

The sharp dagger was only a few inches away from Zhu Di's chest, and the thrush simply closed his eyes, castrating a little faster.

When the sharp blade touched Zhu Di's chest, the thrush suddenly felt that his hand holding the dagger was violently clamped, and when he opened his eyes, Zhu Di's big hands grabbed her wrist like two iron tongs, his face turned iron-blue, and his eyes showed a cold and fierce light, just like when he looked at the thrush's mother wailing in pain but indifferent.

The thrush felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness. - No matter how fierce she is, after all, she is just a weak woman, how can she defeat King Yan who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years?

"You...... Are you really going to kill me? Zhu Di's voice was hoarse, and his bearded face couldn't help twitching.

The thrush still held the dagger tightly and nodded very seriously, with a rebellious and stubborn look in her pretty eyes.

Looking at his well-behaved and docile daughter, who was once tired of giggling in his arms, but now stabbed his father for another man, Zhu Di felt a pain in his heart, and a long-suppressed sadness and indignation filled his chest, and then turned into endless killing intent.

Zhu Di lowered his head, looked at this daughter who was already a complete stranger, gritted his teeth and said, "...... Since you have committed the great act of killing your father, why should I remember the love of father and daughter again? Chang Ning, your life was given by me, and now I will take it back, and I have never given birth to your daughter! ”

After speaking, Zhu Di grabbed the thrush's wrist, easily broke the dagger in her hand, and snatched it into his own hand.

The thrush struggled a few times, but still couldn't break free Zhu Di clasped her big hand tightly, seeing the dagger slowly stabbing and getting closer and closer to her chest, the thrush was in a hurry, suddenly stretched out his right leg, and then kicked Zhu Di's crotch violently...... Zhu Di was in his hands, he didn't guard against the thrush's leg at all, he only felt a numbness in the vital part of his lower body, and then a huge pain came, Zhu Di was dumbfounded, gasped, his hands were loosened, the dagger fell to the ground, and then like a rooster who was choked by someone's neck, he covered his lower body and screamed miserably: "Ah-"

The thrush was free, and the petite body suddenly took a few steps back smartly, looking at Zhu Di's painful appearance from a distance, and the corners of the thrush's mouth showed a little smugness.

Flirting with legs.

The things that are taught by Xiang Gong are really useful.

Not long after the thrush was proud, Zhu Di covered his lower body and shouted angrily: "Someone!" Guards! ”

Several voices rang out outside the inner hall, and more than a dozen Yan King guards with waist knives in their hands quickly entered.

Zhu Di's eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at the thrush and gritted his teeth: "Kill her!" Kill her for this king! ”

Without hesitation, the guards drew their knives and slashed at the top of the thrush's head.

The thrush smiled sadly, threw the dagger lazily to the ground, and then closed his eyes, waiting for the moment when Xiang Xiaoyu died.

In the midst of the desperate moment, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted, "Slow down! ”

As soon as the guards flickered, the steel knife subconsciously stopped a few inches away from the top of the thrush's head.

The guards who ran in looked panicked, and clasped their fists at Zhu Di and said, "Your Highness, and ...... Slow down! Outside the annex...... I was surrounded by Jinyi Guard again! ”

Zhu Di was shocked and angry when he heard this, and looked up to the sky and said sadly: "How many times? How many times has this been? The dignity of this king, now the tiger falls in Pingyang, the other courtyard has been surrounded by people again and again, this king has galloped across the field for many years, and 100,000 elite soldiers under his command have dominated the world, how have they suffered such a great shame! ”

The guards wiped their sweat with shame on their faces...... Zhu Di's eyes had turned red, his eyes widened angrily, and he hissed: "What about Jinyiwei?" Does Jin Yiwei dare not take my prince in his eyes? Gather the guards and fight them! Today, I am fighting my father to blame, and this king will fight for this breath! ”

The guards who ran in to report the news were embarrassed: "Lord Wang, those brocade guards have remanded a person to come over......"

Zhu Di was stunned: "Who are you detaining?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a sound of gold and iron hitting at the gate of the courtyard, because the Yanwang courtyard was surrounded and impacted by the Jinyi guards many times, the guards of the Yanwang were all guilty of the phobia of the Jinyi guards, and this time the time when the hand did not hold a pillar of incense returned to calm.

Shocking to the eye, Cao Yi led a large group of Jinyi guards to hurriedly break into the inner hall of the other courtyard.

Cao Yi, who was panicked, was greatly relieved when he saw Xiao Thrush standing in it intact, and his expression became relaxed.

Zhu Di shouted angrily: "Cao Yi, you dare to instruct your subordinates to break into the king's mansion, who gave you the guts?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Di glanced at it and saw the Daoyan monk who was tied up like a zongzi by the captains of the brocade clothes.

Zhu Di gasped: "Sir! You...... How did you get ...... by them"

Dao Yan's expression was discouraged, and he said dejectedly: "Your Highness...... Poor monk, alas! Buddha is not blessed......"

Zhu Di turned his head, his expression becoming more and more angry: "Cao Yi, you ...... How did you catch Mr., this ...... No way! ”

Cao Yi smiled when he heard this, his eyes narrowed into two thin slits, rubbed his hands very honestly, and smiled with satisfaction as if reporting good news: "Fate, Your Highness, this is all fate!" ”
