Xu Liang only learned about Feng Min'er's stealing of saponification drawings the next day. Faced with Feng Suqin's apology, Xu Liang was angry and had nowhere to vent.

Seeing Feng Suqin blinking her big eyes and looking at herself with a blank eye, Xu Liang sighed in her heart, changed to a soft tone, and comforted: "Since everything has been retrieved, and the horizontal and vertical have not caused much loss, I don't think there is any need to delve into this matter." It's just that Feng Min'er is afraid that she will not be able to stay in the soap room anymore. ”

Feng Suqin breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Well, this is natural, although few people know about this matter, but it is a stain after all, and it is better not to be in the soap room." ”

"Alas, this year is really unfavorable, Lin Youcai's incident happened just after the New Year, and now Feng Min'er is also following the accident, this apocalypse is seven years, why is it so unsmooth." Xu Liang sighed.

"yes. Brother Xu, I heard that the Bodhisattva of Puyun Temple on Yunshan is quite effective, why don't you go up to the mountain to worship one day, Brother Xu? ”

Xu Liang smiled dumbly: "If there are bad people who make trouble, I am afraid that it will be useless to burn incense every day." ”

As the two were talking, Feng Suqin's mother walked in, with a panicked face, and she said, "Qin'er, have you seen Min'er?" ”

Xu Liang and Feng Suqin both looked at her, Feng Suqin said, "Mother, why are you here, sit down," she stepped forward and helped Feng Mu to sit on the chair on the side.

"Lord Xu is also here." Feng's mother saluted Xu Liang, and said to Feng Suqin with an eager face: "Min'er, this child didn't know what happened yesterday, she couldn't give up all day, and she didn't go home last night, I thought she was with you, I came here to look for you early this morning, have you seen her?" ”

Feng Suqin shook her head and said, "No, mother, I haven't seen her since she left me yesterday." ”

"Huh?" When Feng's mother heard this, she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, "Where will this child go?" She looked at Feng Suqin and said worriedly: "You said that she is a young lady who has never been far away, and she has never been to the Jianchang City Gate a few times, she is alone, in the middle of the night, where can she go?" But what's wrong, right? ”

"Mother, don't worry." Feng Suqin comforted, "You take a break here first, and I'll ask the others." ”

"I'll go with you." Xu Liang said.

In the front yard of Xu's house, Xu Liang called the subordinates in the house and the workers in the soap room together, and asked about Feng Min'er's whereabouts, everyone shook their heads, and a woman who lived in the eastern suburbs of the city said: "Lord Xu, Miss Feng, when the slave family returned home yesterday, when they came out to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, they saw Miss Min'er running over the road, and the slave family felt strange, and called her twice, but unfortunately Miss Min'er probably didn't hear it, and she didn't agree, so she ran away directly." ”

"Can you see clearly, which direction is Miss Min'er going?" Xu Liang asked.

"Well, if the slave family looks in this direction, there is a chance that they have gone to the Jianchang River."

Xu Liang and Feng Suqin glanced at each other, and they both had a bad premonition. Xu Liang pulled Feng Suqin aside and said, "Suqin, you and Yun'er are in the city, and Min'er will look carefully for the places where Min'er often goes, and I will go to the Jianchang River and ask the brothers of the patrol battalion to look along the riverside." ”

Feng Suqin nodded vigorously, her lips trembling slightly.

Xu Liang led more than 100 people from the patrol battalion to search carefully along the Jianchang River, but still found no trace of Feng Min'er. Xu Liang had no choice but to order the patrol battalion to continue to search for the checkpoint in the river, and Xu Liang returned to Xu's mansion alone.

Three days have passed, and Feng Min'er still hasn't heard from her at all.

Feng Suqin felt very guilty, and was speechless in shame in the face of Feng Min'er's mother, who came to the soap room to inquire. After Feng Min'er's mother wiped her tears and left, Feng Suqin looked at Xu Liang and choked up: "Brother Xu, it's all my fault, now Min'er is alone outside, what if something happens?" ”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly, and secretly said that Feng Min'er is also an adult, she should be responsible for her own behavior, and if she is so wronged, she will run away from home quietly? Although he thought so in his heart, thinking of Feng Min'er's mother wiping her tears just now, Xu Liang couldn't say anything indifferent. At the moment, I had to comfort Feng Suqin softly: "Suqin, the so-called Jiren has her own natural appearance, Feng Min'er is smart and beautiful, I think it is also a child's temper and hides outside in a beautiful place to relax, and when she gets tired of playing, she will naturally go home." ”

"Well," Feng Suqin listened, feeling a little better, she sighed, "At present, I can only think about this, I hope she can return safely as soon as possible, so that her mother will not be worried, alas, seeing my aunt like this, I am also panicked." ”

Yan Qiyi, the county magistrate, came to Xu Liang early in the morning to report a bad news, six or seven young girls in the town on the outskirts of the city have recently disappeared for no reason.

When Xu Liang heard this, Feng Min'er's whereabouts had not yet been found, why did he run out of a missing girl's case, he slapped the table angrily, "Find out who did it?" ”

"My lord, there are no definite clues yet, but, according to the humble position, most of these girls disappeared on the edge of the Jianchang River, and the humble position thinks that most of them were kidnapped and transported out of Jianchang by waterway."

"Waterways?" Xu Liang couldn't help but think of the Tiger Gang, which was responsible for the water transportation business of the Jianchang River, if the Tiger Gang wanted to do these things, then their manpower, tools, and crime location would be very convenient, and it would be difficult for them to succeed or not.

"These days, Lao Qi, you have carefully watched those unknown ships on the Jianchang River, and as soon as there is any trouble, I will immediately arrest people!"

"Yes." Yan Qidao.

"Ah Liang!" Xu Liang shouted outside the room again.

"Young Master, what do you command?" Ding Aliang, who was standing outside the main book's room, walked into the room when he heard the sound and asked.

"You go to the patrol camp and inform Deputy Envoy Ge that I have recently strictly inspected the passing ships on the Jianchang River, and I must find out what is loaded in the boat and what is hidden before I can be released." Xu Liang said loudly: "I think there are some people on the Jianchang River, who can't bear their temperament, and their skin is itchy!" ”

When Xu Liang returned to Xu's mansion after a busy day's work, Feng Suqin and several people sat in the main hall with a stern face and waited for him. Xu Liang sighed in his heart, what kind of mess happened in the secret way?

"Young master, two workers in the soap room have submitted their resignations today." Tietou saw Xu Liang and said in a deep voice.

"Resign?" Xu Liang said: "Have those two people begun to be transferred out of their posts and entered the declassification period?" ”

Ironhead was silent.

"Brother Xu, those two are going directly." Feng Suqin said.

"What!" Xu Liang exclaimed, "How can this be done, what is the security department doing, just let them go, what about the confidentiality agreement, fine!" ”

"When they left, they paid a fine of 100 taels of silver to the security department before ......leaving," Tietou said.

Xu Liang's heart sank suddenly, when did the ordinary people of Jianchang become so generous, and they could throw out one hundred and eighty taels at will?

"I'm afraid that they didn't go by themselves, but were poached at a high price, right?" Xu Liang squinted slightly, and his words were full of coldness.

"Brother Xu, we also think like this, I can't imagine that this Second Master Tan is so shameless, cutting off people's financial routes, and digging people's corners! It's hateful! Feng Suqin said hatefully, she looked at Xu Liang and said, "Brother Xu, now that this person has left, the fine has been paid, and things can't be done well, big brother, what should we do in the future?" ”

Before the words fell, the eyes of the other people in the hall were all focused on Xu Liang. In their hearts, Xu Liang is the absolute backbone.

Xu Liang paced in the lobby irritably, and in the past few days, one bad thing after another has almost overwhelmed Xu Liang. Xu Liang thought while pacing, at the moment, Liang Ji's technology was afraid that it would leak out, and he couldn't stop it if he wanted to, and what's worse was that with the financial, material, and human resources of the Tan family brothers, as long as they mastered the technology, they wanted to build a larger-scale factory to produce soap cream, and it would be a matter of a snap of their fingers.

What to do? Once Tan Erye also succeeds in making soap cream, he will inevitably compete with Liang Ji for the market, and whether it is personal connections, power status, or financial support, the Tan family brothers, who are the underground overlords of Jianchang, are much stronger than themselves.

Xu Liang couldn't find a head to continue for a while, he pushed open the closed window of the lobby with a sullen noise, and the cool breeze of February blew in, rolled up the red curtains on both sides of the window, and arranged them into a wave, and a stream of fresh grass with the smell of fresh grass that had just spit green rushed straight into the tip of his nose.

Xu Liang greedily took a few sips, closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, then turned around and opened his eyes, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity, step by step, in this way, we Liang Ji should take advantage of Tan Zhisheng's soap paste imitation to quickly seize the market." Tietou, tomorrow you bring some gifts to the Huang Shen government near Yong'anmen in Nanchang Mansion to find Huang Lao Butler, and ask him to help promote Liang Ji soap paste and Suqin in Nanchang Mansion, you prepare some refined soap paste for me, tomorrow, I will personally go to the Yamen of Nankang Prefect to meet Lord Sun of the Prefect! ”

Xu Liang squinted his eyes and sneered: "I want Tan Zhisheng to take a look, even if he steals Liang Ji's one-and-a-half moves, he wants to make a move with me Xu Liang, hmph, I have to weigh it again!" ”

Three days later, Xu Liang paid a visit to Sun Zhifu, returned to Xu's Mansion with a relaxed face, and as soon as he sat down, someone presented a gilded invitation, Xu Liang took a look at it, the corners of his mouth skimmed out a good-looking arc, and said to himself: "I didn't expect this Second Master Tan to be really capable, Tan Ji soap paste is about to open so soon!" ”
