Chapter 222 Rich Merchants in Jiangnan
When Hu Baiqi heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "If this is the case, then the more than 100 people in Yu Deshui are friends and foes. Do you want me to write a letter to Jia Yan and ask him to send a team of men and horses? If you start to do it like this, you can take care of it. ”
Yan Hong got along with each other during this time, and he also knew a lot about this third son of Hu. They are both gentlemen with each other, and there is a real gap in intelligence. Of course, since he has been a human being in these two lives, he has more experience than him after all. Not to mention, the big and small beauties are almost blinding the eyes of Third Master Hu, so it is not surprising that Se Lingzhi made such an unreliable judgment in a daze.
However, Yan Hongzhi said that this was not the time to improve Hu Baiqi's IQ, so he just comforted: "Brother Hu, Yu Deshui's Jinyi Wei can't be relied on, so don't worry too much. In my opinion, Yu Deshui's guy dared to sell some news with some silver, but if he wanted to fight us, he wouldn't dare to scare him to death. Don't forget that he is a hereditary brocade official, and future generations are also counting on this identity to eat, if you want to do this, the lightest thing waiting for him is to be dismissed and distributed, and the children and grandchildren will take the shade, and the head may move even if it is serious. The Li family's silver can't buy his life, he is just a person who doesn't help each other. ”
Wang Cuiqiao heard a few words from the two, but also interjected: "It's just that since Li Wenzao, the evil thief, is so powerful, I'm afraid that Xu Lang will fall into his hands, and if he jumps over the wall and kills him...... Even if you don't die, if you are tortured by him, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it. Speaking of this, I can't help but have a sad face.
Yan Hong smiled and said, "Sister don't worry. My brother-in-law is now in prison, but he is as safe as Mount Tai for the time being. Although Yu Deshui dared to spend Li Wenzao's money to sell my news, if he dared to disobey the orders of Governor Lu Dadu and sit back and watch my brother-in-law die in prison, he would never be able to. He said that his brother-in-law is okay now, and he is expected to be fine. What's more, Lin Yangqian took my brother-in-law, not because he had a deep hatred for my brother-in-law, he had the heart to sell his reputation and reputation, so he would not torture my brother-in-law first, but would let him raise his spirit, which showed the majesty of his Shanyin County Order. ”
It's not hard to see why. After all, what Lin Yangqian wanted was to invite the Holy Decree to behead Xu Hai in public and hang his head in public. Then when the time comes, if Xu Hai is killed, he looks fierce and vicious, majestic, he is tied up and constantly struggling, and he speaks evil words, so that the onlookers dare not come closer, and then cut it in two, which shows Lin Dayin's means. On the contrary, if Xu Hai is weak and dying at that time, with a weak chicken virtue, he is dragged to the court like a dead dog by the official and beheaded with a knife, then who knows whether this is the leader of the pirates who is arrogant in the East China Sea, killing people and stealing goods, or a cat and dog who was caught casually from the street? What is the prestige of killing such a thing?
Wang Cuiqiao is also concerned about chaos, but his own human scheming is not bad. When she heard this, she naturally understood, so she settled down a little and beckoned Luzhu to pour tea for Yan Hong to prepare for food.
But seeing Liu Lian coming in outside, he said: "Qianhu, there are a few local people outside who have come to ask for a meeting." ”
Yan Hong frowned, thinking that I came here to handle the case, and the news spread so quickly. But it's not good not to see, and I want to take the opportunity to touch the folk customs of Shaoxing. So the herald was asked to come in.
After a while, five people came in, but they were all dressed as businessmen. The first one, less than sixty years old, was born of medium stature, white and chubby, with a white beard, and his eyes were squeezed in the middle of the fat on his face, but he was shining. After coming in, he bowed and said, "Master Qianhu, the little people are polite." Several other people also said, "It's polite." "I've seen the master."
Yan Hong saw that these people could at least be his father at their age, how dare he trust him, and hurriedly said: "Your fathers and elders respect their surnames, what do you have to say?" ”
The leader who seemed to be the leader of the businessmen arched his hand and said: "Master Qianhu, the little one is named Li Hongyuan, he is a local person, and he does some small business. ”
When Yan Hong heard Li Hongyuan's three words, his heart was shocked. It turned out that this guy was the culprit who colluded with Li Wenzao back then, ruined Wang Cuiqiao, and caused her family to die. But he has already experienced the pampering and humiliation, although he wants to stab the other party to death directly, but he said with a smile on his face: "Li Yuanwai, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Several other businessmen also reported their names, none other than Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi. Yan Hong was also impatient to remember so much, and arched his hand: "But I don't know why you are here?" ”
Li Hongyuan took a step forward and said with a smile: "I heard that the master of a thousand households went south from the capital to handle the case, and he was tired of saddle horses along the road. There is a little meaning here, and inviting the brothers below to drink a bowl of tea is also a little bit of our heart in the Jiangnan region. With that, he took out a stack of tickets from his sleeve, respectfully handed them to Yan Hong.
Yan Hong secretly said in his heart, you black-hearted businessman, you will never really run this trip to honor me. Whatever, take the money first. Immediately stretched out his sleeves, took the ticket away, and continued: "As the saying goes, no merit is not punished. If you have any grievances, please make them clear to the official. ”
Li Hongyuan cocked his thumb and said: "I have heard for a long time that Young Master Yan is promising, and his vision is really extraordinary. To tell the truth, a few days ago, the old parents of Lin took the Japanese chief Xu Hai. So that the young man learned that this Xu Hai had been a coward for many years, burned and looted, and did all kinds of evil. I, the coastal merchants, are all eager to cut it with a thousand knives to make people's hearts happy. However, there have been rumors recently that Xu Hai's comrades are active in the imperial court, and they want to spare his life and return to the mountain. We and other small people will inevitably be frightened. As the saying goes, it is easy to tie the tiger and difficult to bind the tiger, once this Xu Haihu is called to return to the deep mountains, he will plunder the coast, and the future will be endless. Therefore, Xiaomin wants to ask Yan Huhou to uphold justice and quickly correct this Xu Hai to reassure the people. ”
Yan Hong secretly said in his heart, this guy is under the guise of public opinion, and it sounds good, I'm afraid that I want to take the opportunity to get rid of your own henchmen. Xu Hai is really going to die, that is the life and soul, and there will be endless troubles. But of course, this is not clear. He was so happy that he pretended to be stupid and said: "I came to Jiangnan, I was appointed to the general of Lu Dadu. Whether Xu Hai was beheaded or not, the lower officials could not make assertions. ”
Li Hongyuan said with a smile: "The affairs in Beijing, the chief is naturally clearer than Xiaomin. However, Xu Hai will not die for a day, and the people along the coast will be uneasy for a day. Besides, I heard that the guy was stubborn by nature, and he was afraid that he would talk nonsense in prison and affect the lords of the court. It is because the small people have a little wish, and they want to see this thief and the law quickly. Even if Providence saw that he had done a lot of evil, and took his life in prison, it was full of evil, and he was retributed. ”
Yan Hong heard Li Hongyuan say this, but it implied that he was in prison and made Xu Hai's death inexplicable, and he couldn't help but feel even more disgusted in his heart. But his face was still silent: "If Xu Haizhen is taken away by heaven, then there is naturally nothing to be done." For the rest of the things, the official can only serve the orders of the peak. Thank you for coming here. Drop-off. ”
Li Hongyuan was deeply surprised: "Very good." The chief works hard, and Xiaomin and the others are all in charge of the chief. With that, he led a few merchants out of the city.
After Li Hongyuan and the others withdrew, Yan Hong couldn't help leaning heavily on the chair: "This Li Wenzao is really good." ”
Wang Cuiqiao and Hu Baiqi also came out. Wang Cuiqiao gritted his teeth and said: "Li Hongyuan, he was the one who harmed my family at the beginning, and now he wants to put Xu Lang to death." I don't share the sky with this thief! ”
Yan Hongdao: "Li Hongyuan is here, I'm afraid he was arranged by Li Wenzao. After all, the old thief couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent his cousin to deliver a letter first. If I accept the money and agree to cut off Xu Hai, then he can rest easy. ”
When Wang Cuiqiao heard this, she glanced at Yan Hong, but did not speak. Yan Hong knew her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Sister Cuiqiao, you don't have to worry about it." Not to mention the words of the Governor of Lu and my grandfather, just for the love of our sister and brother, how can I harm my brother-in-law at will? Today, I accepted the silver ticket, it was the thief's silver, and if I didn't take it for nothing, it would also make Li Wenzao unable to figure out our reality and reality. Just wait to find out more about the situation, so I plan to save my brother-in-law. ”
Speaking of which, he took out the silver that Li Hongyuan had previously stuffed and counted it, but it was enough to count three thousand taels, which can be called a big deal. He didn't make an evaluation, smiled slightly, and thought that if three thousand taels were given to the Yellow River Shuangxia Yun Chuqi, let alone killing one Xu Hai, I was afraid that three or five would also be killed. But here for me, if you want to cut off the peace of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, it is not enough for you to add a hundred times.
After dinner, when it was time to hold the lamp, Yan Hong and Hu Baiqi were boredoming and rolling the dice together, neither of them took winning or losing to heart, but just consumed time. Hu Baiqi had the intention to call a few red girls from Shaoxing Mansion to relieve his boredom, but he was afraid that he would leak the news, so he was not bored.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, but I saw Wang Ting walking in, bowed down and replied: "Chief Qiyu Yan and Hu Gongzi, there is a kid who is sneaky outside, I don't know what the number is, and he was brought in by our sentry brother." He claimed to be a local county magistrate, named Wang Yunlai, and said that he wanted to see the chief, but he didn't know whether he saw it or not? ”
When Yan Hong heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and the three dice rolled casually: "See!" I must see him, bring him here, and I am waiting for him. "But I saw that the three dice were spinning and stopped for a long time, but it was three sixes, and the leopard was killed! Yan Hong clapped his hands and said, "Good omen, good omen!" ”
In a few moments, the county king came in. This person is less than forty this year, and his appearance is ordinary, nothing unusual, but he is dressed in the clothes of the common people, and he deliberately has a few plasters on his face, presumably because he is afraid that people will recognize him. Yan Hong saw that he was tied up and sent in, and he stuffed a rag in his mouth, and deliberately said with a sinking face:
"Presumptuous! What kind of person is this who is so bold, tying Wang Eryin with ropes, what kind of system is this! Why don't you untie the rope soon? "As for saying that he didn't untie it personally, this is not a Water Margin, and Yan Hong is not playing Song Jiang, but he can't do it.
After untying the rope, Yan Hong came over to apologize, but Wang Yunlai didn't get up, knelt on the ground and said: "The lower officials have changed their clothes, and the chief of the Jinyi guard doesn't know the lower officials, but there are some of them, but they don't dare to blame the chiefs." It's just that the lower officials are here, and they really have a lot to do with it, and I hope that Yan Xiaoxiang will not reveal the rumors, so as not to suffer the lower officials. ”
