Chapter Twenty-Six: The Officials in the Jiangnan Township Trial Case [4]

Where is Madame? ”

Lian Dahe said in a low voice: "I have arrived at Lianghu Yaxing, and I went to meet two Sichuan salt merchants in the morning before yesterday, and I went to meet a jeweler from Yungui in the afternoon. Yesterday, I held a banquet in Changsha Maple Leaf Theater, and invited the gentry who controlled medicinal materials, mushrooms, charcoal, and paper materials in the land of the two lakes to eat and watch the play, and also invited Di Fengru Di to be in charge, and I heard that it would be placed for three days in a row......"

Li Siqin was speechless, "This time I went back to the theater, and last time I held a banquet in Hangzhou to invite those silkworm garden owners and machine spinning masters to eat wine...... She's a woman......"

Lian Dachuan looked at Lian Zhenyun's face and said with a smile: "Those big dealers originally had a real friendship with Qi Sanye, and after Qi Sanye led his wife to meet him last year, the business of Twenty-One Tooth Bank was all taken care of by Mrs. None of the shopkeepers in the twenty-one tooth shops could deal with them as Mrs. did, and no one could recognize all the hundred or so merchants as Mrs. did. Madame can't help it, these shopkeepers are also the people of the Ninth Master in the end, Madame can't let go, so she can only deal with them one by one. ”

Lian Zhenyun muttered: "The scholars of Yangzhou and Suzhou have flocked to Jiangning City to make trouble? ”

Lian Dahe nodded, "I heard that the Jiangning Gongyuan has been smashed, not to mention that the governor's yamen where Qincha lives is blocked every day, and even the Jiangning Weaving Mansion on a street is not allowed to enter and exit...... This time, Lord Futai is here to Zhengeer......"

"If it's like this, Zhang Boxing's life can't be determined by the emperor?" Li Siqin looked at Lian Zhenyun.

"What does the emperor mean? The eyes on it are in the Jiangning Weaving Mansion.

Cao Yin is now handing it over one day at a time. This old guy was afraid that he would have gone crazy for a long time, so he waited for this opportunity, and he didn't need to make up a little nonsense......" Lian Zhenyun smiled dumbly, "Lord Futai's heart is ...... the right place."

Li Siqin shook his head, "If Zhang Xing is fine, Kali is afraid that something will happen, in case there is a person who does not want money, does not speak favors, and is not afraid of death, he will ask this case down...... Qi San, he ......"

"Afraid of what? Twenty-one tooth lines in the south of the Yangtze River. How much silver can be given to the Nine Masters Mansion every year. To the eighth master? Qi San only needs to lose half a cold hair. Are you afraid that she won't dare to turn these twenty-one teeth into an empty shelf? She didn't have the ability to build these twenty-one tooth shops. But there is a land that scatters these twenty-one tooth rows. Lian Zhenyun smiled slightly. The landlords in the capital are staring at this big source of wealth. She only had to move a finger. Are you afraid that no one will follow you to push the wall? "Turn your head to look at Lian Dahe." Those people who are from the Lord's Sect. But have you gone to see Madame? ”

Lian Dahe nodded. "Yes, please see it. But let Zhou Xiangtian block it. Afterward. There is a big trouble here in Yangzhou. Zhou Xiangtian left his wife. Rushed to Jiangning City. Madame didn't see one. ”

"Naturally, she won't see it. She's so flamboyant. It's just that the top landlords don't dare to push Qi San out immediately. ”

Li Siqin was stunned. Burst out laughing. "No wonder Lord Futai doesn't care about her. There were also four boats left to follow the pacesetters of the Baidi River to escort the boat. Eldest brother. It's not a good time. Water thieves and salt barons are everywhere. Shall we have a few more boats to follow? ”

Lian Zhenyun waved his hand. "Whatever you want. You send your eighty-gang ship out of the ground. ”

Li Siqin laughed. Jumped up. "Take advantage of Huang Er's presence. I told him to go. "Say it. A puff of smoke rushed out of the gate. "Fortunately, Changsha is not too far away......"

In the middle of the Xiangjiang River, in the Orange Island, on the second floor of the Maple Leaf Theater built by the water, Di Fengru was still thin, with a smile on his cold face.

He glanced at the seven or eight local gentry who were drinking and watching the play, and the appearance of the drama on the stage, and then glanced at Qi Su Niang, who was listening to it but not hearing it, and sitting quietly, raised his glass and said, "Mrs. Chen." ”

Qi Su Niang smiled and picked up her wine glass, "Di Da is in charge." ”

After Di Fengru drank it dry, he glanced at the empty cup that Qi Su Niang put down, and said with a smile: "I escorted the boat to the capital in May, and the fourteenth master's body is very good." ”

Qi Su Niang blinked her eyes for a while, and a sudden look appeared on her face. She smiled happily, stood up, and poured a pot full of wine for Di Fengru with her own hand, "The so-called heroes cherish heroes, and Di Da has a good eye." "Pour yourself full again," the concubine saluted Di Da's master. ”

Di Fengru had a little more smile on his face, and he also stood up, "Mrs. Chen is not allowed to shave her eyebrows, and Di admires it very much." ”

Qi Su Niang and Di Fengru drank this cup, and the two felt intimate, chatting while listening to the rough high-pitched drama of Lao Ren and the opera troupe.

Di Fengru said with a smile: "The fourteenth master knows people

Di was even more impressed, Di never expected that his wife would have such a means, and he thought about his friendship with his wife. When you enter Beijing again in September, you must ask the Fourteenth Master for the guilt.

”

Qi Su Niang was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Don't do these things in front of the fourteenth master, the fourteenth master will know about it, but he won't give me a good face, and you haven't seen him angryβ€”β€”"

Di Fengru held a cup and smiled, "Madame's movement is so big this time, isn't it just for those gentlemen in the capital to see, even if I don't say it, where will the fourteenth master not know?" ”

Qi Su Niang smiled dryly, "The mountain is far away, the mountain is far away, and the mountain is far away...... The fourteenth master was busy, and he forgot about it after a while......"

Di Fengru looked at her for a while, "Madame forgot, the fourteenth master is the best at remembering things...... and said slowly: "The fourteenth master will be annoyed not only this time......" turned his head to look at the giant boat gradually approaching in the Xiangjiang River, and muttered: "Jiangsu gang Lian Zhenyun ......"

The banquet broke up late at night, the carriage of the Lianghu Gang sent Qi Su Niang to the dock, Qi Su Niang got off the car, Wang Patrol picked it up, and was about to get on the boat, when he saw a person walking on the dock, and he called Qian'er to say goodbye, "Little Huang Erβ€”β€”"

Qi Su Niang suppressed the surging wine, and without waiting for him to speak, she pulled him back, "Second Brother Huang, I don't dare to accept your courtesy, if you didn't let me from time to time, I would have starved to death in Jiangning......"

Huang Er is a strong man, with flat eyebrows and flat eyes, and he can't find it when he is thrown in the pile, but the beard on his lips is slightly burnt yellow, which makes people see it and never forget it. He saw Qi Su Niang's sincerity, and also stood up with a smile, "Madam, Cao Shang is not in Tai, the second master is afraid that something will happen to Madame on the road, so he asked the little one to bring ten boats and brothers to protect it." ”

Qi Su Niang said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble, I know that there are a few boats from your Jiangsu Gang following behind, and Lord Futai has sent a river pacesetter again, why do you want Second Brother Huang to run again?" ”

Huang Er glanced at the official boat parked overhead, and said in a low voice: "The river pacesetters and those water thieves and salt thieves are exactly the opposite, although these 200 or so people are not afraid of people coming to rob, but they are afraid that some people who are not long-sighted will take revenge regardless of life and death, which will inevitably startle Madame." ”

Qi Su Niang nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will bother Second Brother Huang." The chewing and food of the Caoshang brothers these days are all wrapped up in me, and the second brother Huang should come out to steal a leisure. ”

Huang Er knew her temper, so he didn't push, responded with a smile, and returned to the boat. The head of the sedan chair guard next to Qi Su Niang saw that he was far away, and while leading Qi Su Niang to the boat, he whispered: "Madam, those water thieves and salt thieves on the Cao Gang are all sheltered by the Cao Gang, don't look at this Huang Er stunned, there are many ways to manipulate people, and the water thieves and salt thieves in the Jiangnan River section are not afraid of him." Xiao has been chatting with the river pacesetters and soldiers these days, but I only heard that when the Lord of the last Huifutai stuck Caoyin, those water thieves and salt thieves who suddenly appeared were all subdued by him on weekdays......"

Qi Su Niang nodded silently, "They were originally eating this line of food......

Bi'er then took Qi Su Niang into the boat, helped her to the bed and lay down, and before she could speak, she saw Qi Su Niang struggling, threw herself on the side of the toilet and vomited, and the sour smell immediately filled the cabin. Bi'er cried while rubbing Qi Suniang's back, "Grandma......"

Qi Su Niang spit out all the wine and meat on the three-day banquet, and gasped: "...... It's okay...... It's good to spit it out......"

Bi'er sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Qi Su Niang's tired face and eyes full of worry, and choked up: "Master he ......"

Qi Su Niang shook her head slightly, "You can't blame him." The scholars and the people are not fools, it is not that he can suppress it if he wants to, and he can rush if he wants to, so he can only follow the trend, or because Master Zhang Boxing is really a good official. In the past two years, there have been no poor people in Yangzhou Mansion who are hungry to grab food, although the master is supporting him, but if there is no Lord Zhang Boxing, where can he succeed alone? …… If Master Zhang Boxing is dismissed, Liangjiang will be the world of Kali, and the next one will be ...... It's your turn. "Looking at the top of the tent blankly, "If Master Zhang Boxing loses his life, I will not be at ease, not to say that the master is not at ease...... These things that your uncle has done are not the right way......

Biller cried and said: "Grandma must know what grandma is doing outside these days, although it is for the sake of grandma......"

Qi Su Niang was silent for a long time, "Don't worry, your master's temperament can't be tolerated anymore, at most send me back to Gaoyou's hometown, and he won't take my ...... immediately."
