Chapter 252: A Brilliant Advertisement
In the courtyard, the maid Xiaodong was sitting in the yard boiling water, she was holding her cheeks, watching the kettle spew steam, but she was guessing the relationship between the little master and Fan Xiaoguan.
This morning, the little master specially called her aside, threatened and lured her, and forbade herself to tell anyone about her coming to Fanning, which made Xiaodong guess the relationship between the little master and Fanning, I am afraid that the two are the legendary lovers.
Xiaodong didn't know what the relationship between lovers should look like, but when she heard that the two would sleep together in the future and have children, the more she thought about it, the redder her face became, and it was hot as if she had a fever.
Although Xiao Dong was very shy in her heart, she was unambiguous about one thing, she was almost sure that Fan Xiaoguan was likely to be the future uncle of the Zhu family.
At this moment, there was a 'Boom!' from outside. Boom! The knock on the door startled Xiao Dong, and she hurriedly ran to open the door, only to see Fan Ning leaning against the door, and a strong smell of alcohol came to her face.
"Ahh
Xiao Dong exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly supported Fan Ning, "Little official, you have been drinking!" ”
"A few drinks and I'm fine!"
Fanning waved his hand, not wanting Xiao Dong to help him, but he didn't have any strength.
Xiao Dong helped Fan Ning sit down in the courtyard, "Little official, you sit down first, and I'll go fetch water to wash your face." ”
"Give me a drink of water first, I'm going to die of thirst, preferably cold water."
Of course, Xiao Dong would not give him cold water to drink, she boiled a pot of herbal tea at noon, she added a little hot water to make it warm tea, and then handed it to Fanning, Fanning raised the porcelain pot and said, "Goo!" Goo! Soon he drank a pot of tea and sighed, "Happy! ”
Xiao Dong poured another basin of water, wrung out the towel and handed it to Fan Ning, Fan Ning washed his face, the wine subsided a little, and then said to Xiao Dong: "I want to wash my feet and go to bed, my eyes are so sleepy that I can't open them." ”
"It's just boiling hot water, the little official sits down for a while, and I'll pour the water."
Xiao Dong poured a basin of foot-washing water very quickly, squatted down to wash his feet, and said: "Every time my father gets drunk, my mother will press a few acupuncture points on his feet, and he will sleep very sweetly at night, and I learned later." ”
Fanning smiled and nodded, "It's really comfortable, by the way, I bought a house today, let's move in a few days, and I won't live here in the future." ”
Xiao Dong had just become familiar with this place, and when she heard that she was going to move again, she was a little worried: "Where to move?" ”
"Have you heard of the Feiyun Bridge in the south of the outer city?"
"Isn't it next to Taixue? I think I've seen lanterns there. ”
"There it is! There are also a lot of shops over there, and it's not far from Baokangmen Wazi, so it's quite lively. ”
Although Xiao Dong was a little reluctant to be familiar with the old Cao Men just now, she also knew that this kind of thing could not be done by herself, and she could only follow her master.
Xiao Dong nodded, "Then I'll start packing up tomorrow!" ”
"Don't worry, the yard here won't expire until the end of the year, and no one will come to live in it, so I'll slowly clean it up at that time."
After washing his feet, Fan Ning walked back to his room, he took off his deep clothes with difficulty, untied his bun, took off his middle pants, planted his head on the bed, and slowly covered the quilt that was warm and dry during the day, and seemed to have another futon under him, which felt very soft, and soon Fan Ning fell asleep comfortably.
'It's good to have a maid!' It will even warm the bed. That was Fanning's last thought before falling asleep.
.........
At night, two oilcloth-covered sand carriers quietly moored on the Cao River in the old Song Gate, a famous slum in the city that was home to tens of thousands of people.
However, the old Songhe Wharf is the largest bulk cargo distribution center in Beijing, where a large number of warehouses are stockpiled here, such as salt tea, grain, oil, cloth and so on.
Both ships were sand ships of 500 stones, and the waterline was very deep, indicating that the ships were loaded with a large amount of cargo.
The two ships entered the capital at dusk, and arrived at the old Song River wharf at nightfall, because the goods must be accepted by the owner before they can enter the warehouse, so the two ships are temporarily moored on the wharf, and the host comes to accept after dawn, which is also the norm of the wharf, and the ships that enter the city later will generally be able to enter the warehouse the next day.
At this time, several figures appeared next to the tax office on the east side of the dock, and one of them whispered: "I have confirmed, both ships are carrying stones, most of the crew are sleeping on the west ship, and there is only one person watching the ship on the east ship." ”
There are three people hidden next to the tax office, one of them is Xu Qing, he came to check one thing on the order of Fan Ning, and the other two are helpers he spent a lot of money to find, he found the warehouse of the Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion the day before yesterday, which is located in the old Songmen Wharf, but there is no Tian Huangshi in the warehouse, he inquired in many ways, and finally learned that the goods of the Zhang family arrived in these two days.
After waiting for two days, Xu Qing finally waited for Tian Huangshi, which Zhang Yaocheng had transported from Fuzhou.
Xu Qing estimated that it was impossible to steal both boats, so he said to his two subordinates: "Just steal the boat in the east!" ”
The three of them rushed to the dock under the cover of night, and in a moment, the three of them dived into the water, approached one of the sand boats from the water, and the three of them flipped onto the boat, and the person in charge of the boat heard the movement in a daze, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious with a stick and thrown ashore.
One of his men cut the rope, the other propped up the boat with a bamboo pole, and the boat staggered eastward, and the ship's oars were on the other boat, and it was for this reason that the crew did not worry about the ship being stolen, and the boat could not go far by relying on bamboo poles.
About half a mile away, the crew, who had been thrown ashore, woke up and immediately shouted, "The ship has been stolen!" The ship was stolen! ”
Seven or eight crew members who were asleep on another ship suddenly woke up, and they were in a hurry to chase after them.
At this time, Xu Qing had already carved two large holes on the left side of the boat, the river water poured in, the boat began to sink rapidly, Xu Qing and two of his men jumped into the water, swam to the opposite bank, they climbed on the opposite bank, and soon escaped without a trace.
Another boat arrived at the scene and saw the boat belly overturned on the water, and they could only watch as the boat sank to the bottom of the river.
..........
The next morning, a shocking news spread wildly in the area of the old Songmen area, a ship full of expensive Tianhuangshi sank west of the old Songmen wharf, each piece of Tianhuangshi was worth dozens of yuan.
This news made the residents of the old Songmen area crazy, the banks of the Cao River were crowded with thousands of people, and there were thousands of people in the river who were fluttering to find Tian Huangshi at the bottom of the river, and people kept touching Tian Huangshi under the water, and they were so excited that they shouted.
At this time, two official boats of the Bianliang County Ya also appeared on the water, and some officials shouted loudly to stop the behavior of the people in the water, demanding that they leave the water immediately.
However, the shouts of the officials did not have much effect, and most of them ignored them, but their drinking confirmed that the rumors were true, and that there were indeed a large number of valuable gems in the water.
This made the crowd even more frenzied, and many people who were originally skeptical no longer doubted, took off their clothes and jumped into the river to join the team of treasure hunting in the water.
At this moment, a carriage came galloping from a distance, followed by seven or eight horseback attendants, and it was Yao Cheng, the proprietor of these two cargo ships, who rushed to hear the news.
Zhang Yaocheng only got the news of the shopkeeper Yang of the Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion half an hour ago, and the news of the ship's theft and capsizing made him furious.
Of course, Zhang Yaocheng thought that this was the responsibility of the shopkeeper Yang of the Qishi Pavilion, and he did not enter the warehouse in time, but he selectively forgot the request he had made, and the first batch of Tian Huangshi had to be inspected by him in the warehouse.
The carriage galloped, kicking up the rolling yellow dust, Zhang Yaocheng kept looking out the window, and he saw a sea of people by the river in the distance, which made him feel even more, what are these doing here? Why didn't the government disperse them?
Zhang Yaocheng only knew that his cargo ship was stolen by thieves and capsized in the process of driving, but he didn't know the specific details, but there was one thing Zhang Yaocheng didn't realize, he naturally thought that this was an accidental incident, it was caused by the poor management of the shopkeeper Yang, and he was full of hatred focused on the shopkeeper Yang, and he had decided to drive away this shopkeeper today.
The carriage stopped at the dock, and an attendant helped Zhang Yao to get out of the carriage, and he shook off the attendant's hand in annoyance and walked quickly towards the river.
I saw countless heads floating in the river, at least one or two thousand, and the officials on the two official ships were shouting weakly: "This is private property, and it is not allowed to occupy it!" ”
Zhang Yaocheng was suddenly shocked and angry, what are these people doing? Is it robbing your own Tianhuangshi?
He hurriedly ordered his entourage: "Go and get me the officials in charge here at once!" ”
