Chapter 216: Bribery

The three of them jumped out of the car, Lao Wei helped to move the luggage off the carriage, and at this time received the news, the shopkeeper of Liu Ji Commercial Bank also came out with Xiao Liuzi, this is a middle-aged man in his forties, medium stature, slightly fat, wearing a water-blue silk gown, wearing a purple scarf, a smile on his face, and a standard businessman's appearance.

"Hehe, Mr. Sun Dongsun, is it? A month ago, I received a letter from the eldest lord saying that you were coming, and I waited and waited, and finally I looked forward to you. "Before the people got closer, the warm hustle and bustle was already coming.

"Heh, Shopkeeper Cui is polite, I still need your care in Yangzhou in the future." I have heard the coachman Lao Wei say that the person in charge of the Liu family's business in Yangzhou is called Cui Hao, a native of Yangzhou, who has been in business for more than 20 years, and has a wide range of local contacts.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, this kid is every day, right? Hehe's clear-eyed, and he looks like a smart kid. Cui Hao turned around and bent down to greet Tan Xiaotian - this is the person who the big boss personally wrote a letter to tell him to take good care of himself, although it is not clear how close his relationship with the big boss is, but there is no harm in doing it.

"Every day, call people." The child recognized his life, pulled Sun Dong's hand tightly, looked at Cui Hao with a pair of big black and white eyes, and subconsciously hid behind Sun Dong.

"Well, the shopkeeper Cui is good." Tan Xiaotian shouted as Sun Dong and Lao Wei were called.

"Hehe, you don't need to be called the shopkeeper, you need to be called uncle." Cui Hao corrected with a smile, for him, this is much more affectionate.

"Well, Uncle Cui is good." Tan Xiaotian immediately changed his words.

"Huh. Shrewd. The child is very sensible, Cui Hao is very satisfied, patted Tan Xiaotian's head, he turned his head to the little guy who followed, and ordered, "Little Liuzi, why are you still standing stupidly, why don't you move your luggage in quickly." ”

"Yes!" The young man answered, quickly picked up Sun Dong and Tan Xiaotian's luggage one by one, clamped another one under his arm, and walked into the building quickly in a blink of an eye. It seems that he is usually trained by the shopkeeper Cui and is a good hand at running errands.

"Hehe, has this journey gone smoothly? Did you come across anything interesting? Holding Tan Xiaotian's hand, Cui Hao took Sun Dong and walked to the store, asking about what he had seen and heard on the road all the way, as for the coachman Lao Wei, who was an acquaintance who often came to Yangzhou, he didn't need to take special care of it.

The people entered, and Lao Wei pulled the reins of his horse and prepared to bypass the front door to the backyard - this was the trading house. It is often necessary to hoard a large number of goods, so there is a special courtyard gate for carriages and horses to enter and exit, otherwise large quantities of goods are moved in and out from the front door, which is time-consuming and laborious. It's also prone to accidents.

"Hey, uncle, please stay?" I had just left the door of the comptoir, and I didn't have time to turn the car into the alley. Lao Wei suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a young man in his early twenties. The green cloth robe, the head is inserted in the cow bone hairpin, the literary quality is polite, and he looks like a scholar.

"Uh, little brother, are you calling me?" I don't know this person, Old Wei Chi asked.

"Yes, it's me. Uncle, who was the person in your car just now? The young man asked.

"Uh, who are you? Why do you want to ask about this? Lao Wei asked vigilantly, he often rushes to deliver goods, although the experience of the rivers and lakes is not as good as that of the real people in the rivers and lakes, but he is not the kind of junior brother who believes what others say.

"Oh, uncle, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, I just want to know where the big and small two people came from, what they came to Yangzhou for, and who opened this business house and what is the relationship with the two of them." The young man hurriedly explained, and at the same time reached into the sleeve cage, and took out a few copper plates from the inside and put them in Lao Wei's hand - money can make ghosts grind, and what he inquired about was not a confidential matter, it should work.

I checked the copper coins in my hand, and roughly counted about thirty wen, which is no less for a driver who is in a hurry to deliver goods.

"Come with me." Lao Wei glanced around, and then said to the young man - this is on the street, there are many cars and people, and if someone in the business house comes out and sees himself talking to outsiders about the guests, although it is not a big deal, he must always avoid it.

After that, Lao Wei pulled the carriage and turned into the alley, and when he saw that Lao Wei had accepted the money, the young man knew that he could get the news he had thought of, so he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

Jiangdu Chess Academy, in the dean's office, Zheng Jigong's face was solemn, there was a game of chess on the coffee table in front of him, Zheng Jifu was sitting opposite the coffee table, and Li Qiusheng was sitting on the other side.

Before the end of the game, Zheng Jigong had already heard the report of the second brother, and he was not too surprised that Li Qiusheng let Tan Xiaotian not move the nine sons-the four major families, the family history, all the descendants of the lineage, usually began to learn to play chess at the age of five, so many years, there have been a lot of outstanding talents, there is a strong strength at a young age, learn to be six years old, like Li Qiusheng's strength makes the nine sons of the immovable is not unusual, but the situation of the four major families cannot be applied to ordinary people, Li Qiusheng himself has too little knowledge, Sitting in the well and watching the sky, I don't know this.

However, when he heard that the second brother spoke very highly of that child, he was full of beautiful words, not only comparing it with the children of several sons and nephews of the Zheng family, but even thinking that he was more talented than those children and nephews, which made him not help but be surprised.

Therefore, when the game was over, he immediately ordered someone to call Li Qiusheng and asked him to review the game immediately in his office and rearrange the progress of the chess game.

"Right? This kid's talent is definitely enough to pick one out of a thousand, whether it is the layout, the middle game, or the official tightening, there is a very wonderful performance, in my estimation, his comprehensive chess strength has reached at least two levels, and if only in terms of mid-game combat effectiveness, it is said that it is only to reach eight or even seven grades. Zheng Jifu said excitedly.

"Yes, it's hard to believe that such a move came from the hands of a six-year-old child, Mr. Li, you lost this game of chess unjustly." The corners of Zheng Jigong's mouth curled slightly, and seeing that Li Qiusheng was depressed, it could be regarded as comforting him.

"Yes, I have nothing to say about this chess loss." Li Qiusheng could only smile bitterly, but what he thought in his heart was that if he really wanted to comfort me, he would still reimburse the loss of the twenty taels of lottery money. (To be continued......)
