The thunder roared and the wind rose.

Zhao Mengqi looked up, and the dark clouds on the horizon rolled in, and under the illumination of the setting sun, they were inlaid with strange gold edges.

"It's a change of weather, let's go back."

Zhao Mengqi picked up Wanwan's shoes and socks and wanted to put them on for her, but he was slapped away by Wanwan and rejected his little courtesy, "How can a man do this......"

"What's this, Han Shi Jingzhao Yin Zhang Chang also gave his daughter-in-law a thrush."

Zhao Mengqi's move may be with a little habit in later generations, but the main thing is that this guy is plotting against other people's *** feet, but he just found a decent reason on his lips.

Wanwan didn't eat his set, and glanced at him, "That's Zhang Chang was naughty when he was a child, throwing stones and smashing the corners of people's eyebrows, making people break their appearance, and he was so scared that he ran away, and when he grew up, the woman couldn't get married, so she came to the door to propose...... Affection is affection, but it is also because he is informal, so that the joy of the boudoir is known and criticized, so it has not been reused later, you don't have to learn from him. ”

In terms of knowledge, Wanwan is much stronger than Zhao Mengqi, if you really want to talk about the past and the present, Zhao Mengqi may not be able to win.

"Can't an iron man have tenderness?" Zhao Mengqi had a hard mouth.

Wanwan bowed her head and wore shoes and socks, "It's not that I can't, it's just that the monarch should be cautious, don't show people to be short, and don't let people easily know their likes and dislikes......"

At this moment, Zhao Mengqi suddenly had a realization that the reason why Wanwan suddenly became a "female imperial history" may be because she was afraid.

She decided to be with Zhao Mengqi, and she was under great pressure in her heart, although she did not feel inferior because of her life experience, she was afraid that it would affect Zhao Mengqi.

In addition, she is also well aware of her appearance, and she is very afraid that if Zhao Mengqi becomes a "faint king", then she will inevitably be included in the history books, and she will be listed alongside Bao Xidaji, and all the blame will be put on her head, saying that she is a red face and a disaster.

Zhao Mengqi held the bridge deck, jumped up gently, took Wanwan's hand, helped her up, and then hugged her into his arms.

The sudden hug made Wanwan dizzy for a while, and the red glow was full of pretty faces, but Zhao Mengqi's solid heartbeat came through the tightly pressed chest, which made her gradually calm down, and she was deeply intoxicated, and then, Zhao Mengqi's deep voice came from her ears, "Ruochu, don't think too much, everything has me!" ”

The wind on the lake is getting tighter.

Zhao Mengqi held the nephrite-like hand, walking very comfortably, with a blushing face, slightly half a step behind, but the pace was very brisk.

"Ah, fourth brother, I'm looking for you... Sister Wanwan is also there, your veil ......" Zhao Yun, who was awakened by the thunder, was still a little sleepy-eyed.

Qian Duo on the side of "...... you" stared at the big apricot eyes, full of shock and loss.

The little clever Zhao Hui smiled like a fox who stole a chicken, "Fourth brother, sister-in-law!" ”

This "sister-in-law" is greasy and sluggish.

Wanwan couldn't wait to bury her head in her chest, struggling to pull her hand out, but was grabbed tighter by Zhao Mengqi, "What's embarrassing, you have to get used to it." ”

Zhao Yan's drowsiness was driven away by the surprise, and he jumped and ran over, and when he got in front of his brother, he raised his thin finger and scraped his little face twice, "No shame, no shame..."

Zhao Mengqi was cheeky and didn't be moved at all, Zhao Yan spit out the tip of his tongue, made a grimace, and then threw himself into Wanwan's arms, "Sister Wanwan, are you going to be my sister-in-law......

Wanwan was hesitant and didn't know how to answer, at this time Qian Duo ran over suddenly, broke Zhao Yan, and dragged Wanwan to the yard, "Sister Wanwan, did that bastard bully you, tell me, I will help you avenge ......"

……

After dinner, the three little ladies "caught" Wanwan to interrogate, and the "lonely" Zhao Mengqi stood in the corridor in front of the building, looking at the dripping rain.

Qian Xiaopang leaned against the wall, spread his legs and sat on the ground, burping, "Huh... Sister Wanwan's craftsmanship is so good, it has eaten me up. ”

Wu Qiong, who was leaning on the side of the pillar, was disdainful of him, "It's obvious that you are greedy for ......"

"Hehe, are you eating less?"

"No matter how much I eat, I won't become a fat pig......"

The two started their daily bickering, but Geng Zhi did not participate, standing behind Zhao Mengqi with his hands down, with doubts in his eyes, "Ah Lang, I didn't figure it out after thinking about it all afternoon (this chapter is not over!)" )

177. Jiang Manhai confessed

, the one surnamed Xu and the one surnamed Liu are not good people, why do you want to let it go gently? ”

Zhao Mengqi encouraged his subordinates to think about it, and was willing to solve their doubts, "That Xu Tianyi is simply a gentleman, and his life is just to eat and wait for death, the reason why he is let go is mainly for Li Xiang's face, since Kublai Khan destroyed Dali, the pressure on the southwest border has become more and more great, and that Wuliang Hetai has repeatedly violated the border, trying to find out the loopholes in our defense line, so Li Xiang's responsibilities are very heavy, so try to avoid bringing him a bad influence." ”

Geng Zhi seemed to understand, "Oh, what about the kid surnamed Liu?" He spoke disrespectfully to Ah Lang, his mouth was full of filth, and he insulted Jiang Niangzi, shouldn't he teach him a good lesson? What if he comes to harass Jiang Niangzi again? You can't stay in Wujiang all the time, can you? ”

"I can't stay in Wujiang for a long time, but I can bring them all back to Lin'an."

Zhao Mengqi smiled, "However, the reason why I let Liu Weizhen go is just to avoid startling the snake." ”

"Surprise the snake? Ah Lang, do you mean the Liu family? ”

"That's right, I learned from those water cowards last night that the Liu family is very unclean in private, and there are countless cases of committing adultery and criminals, but the five brothers can be officials in the court, here, the water is very deep, since I came, I also ran into it, naturally I can't turn a blind eye, I have to take advantage of this time to check them ......out."

Saying that, Zhao Mengqi saw through the dark rain curtain that there were lights approaching in the direction of Tongli Lake, and soon a canopy boat docked, and four or five people came down, braving the rain and rushing towards the tea shop.

When they got closer, they found that it was Hou Tao and others, and after they saw Zhao Mengqi, they hurriedly saluted, "Your Highness, that Jiang Manhai has recruited ......."

"Oh? Are you in such a hurry to come with any major news? ”

"It's not just us, just in case, the Chang Commander is also coming with people, they are big ships, so they have to be slower." Hou Tao took off his coat and put it aside, "I learned from Jiang Manhai's mouth that the Liu family's crime is even more serious than we expected, and Liu Zhengyi, the head of the Liu family, is actually from Haikou......"

In fact, Jiang Manhai is not very clear about Liu Zhengyi's early years, only that more than 40 years ago, this Liu Zhengyi brought a large amount of money to Zhenze Town to settle down, and it is rumored that he joined his accomplices at sea, brought all his belongings back, and washed his hands in a golden basin from then on.

After that, with this huge amount of money, Liu Zhengyi frantically bought land in the township, and when there was no land to buy in the market, he began to buy and sell, whether it was legitimate or not, as long as he made money, he had to intervene.

Up to now, more than half of the shops in Zhenze Town are Liu's family, what restaurants, tea shops, grain stores, cloth villages, Qinglou gambling stalls, pawn shops, gold and silver shops, etc., all kinds of shops, even in the county there are half of the street surnamed Liu.

During this time, Liu Zhengyi was relatively regular, and on the surface, he was also repairing bridges and paving roads, giving porridge to help the poor, and benefiting the township, but he had a good reputation as a good person of Liu Dashan, but he also borrowed a lot of land in disguise through "legitimate" lending, but it was normal to eat, anyway, many landlords did this at this time.

As for those who lost all their property in his gambling stalls, they can only blame themselves, and they can't even win the sympathy of others.

That Jiang Manhai's family was originally relatively wealthy, but his father was lured to the Liu family's gambling stall, and since then he has been out of control, and finally lost several big mansions and more than 1,000 acres of land, and even his wife and concubine were pawned out, and he still did not turn the book, so he found a crooked neck tree, untied his trouser belt, and made it a hundred.

Jiang Manhai, who was still sixteen years old at the time, decided that everything was a trap for the Liu family, so he managed to sneak into the home of the gambling shopkeeper, trying to ask for evidence, but he accidentally killed him.

Later, Jiang Manhai also kept thinking about revenge, but unfortunately the Liu family raised hundreds of Zhuangding nursing homes, so this revenge was not repaid, but he made the profession of Shui Kou impressive.

On the Liu family's side, it may be that Liu Zhengyi realized that it was not enough to have money, so he began to train his five sons to study.

It's a pity that the third Liu Xiuli is not the material for reading, in the year of the eldest Zhongjinshi, Jiang Huai, who studied martial arts under the same master as him, planned to join the army, so he simply took some Zhuang Ding and went to Jiankang Mansion together.

With the Liu family out of Jinshi, their actions began to converge, (this chapter is not finished!) )

177. Jiang Manhai confessed

On the surface, he didn't do anything bad, and for a while the villagers praised him.

It wasn't until five years ago that Liu Xiuli began to serve as the capital of Anji Prefecture next door, and the Liu family swelled up again, and his work became a little out of line.

said that it was the next state, but in fact, the state city of Anji Prefecture was only sixty or seventy miles away from Zhenze Town, and later, the boss of the Liu family also became the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture, which was equivalent to a civil and military escort, and the Liu family was even more unscrupulous.

After dismantling Jiang Manhai's gang from within, Liu Xiuli did not eliminate these water gangsters, but made Fang Tang the leader boss and continued to engage in this promising profession.

Fang Tang claimed to be a descendant of Fang La, Fang La rebelled and called the emperor, and changed the name of the year to "Yongle", so this Fang Tang proclaimed himself "Yongle Gong", although there are some monkeys and crowns, but basically "unified" Taihu Lake, it can be regarded as a "hero".

At this time, the Liu family eats both black and white, and it can be regarded as the emperor of the soil, that is, it is not far from Lin'an, so he does not dare to be too public, but the matter of making a fortune is not delayed at all.

In just four or five years, the Liu family's land has increased more than ten times, and the annexation methods are extremely cruel, especially last year, Taihu Lake because of many unreasonable cofferdams, resulting in poor drainage channels, so the flood flooded, washed away countless farmland along the coast, many small farmers turned into displaced people scattered, and most of the terra nullius fell into the hands of the Liu family after the disaster.

At first, many of the cofferdams were spared because of the relatively high dikes, but some water gulps went to dig the dikes......

Although no one has evidence that the Liu family did it, the land really fell into the hands of the Liu family, and it went through a serious "legal" procedure.

In addition to raising thieves and occupying land, the Liu family also engaged in large-scale smuggling by sea, not only with the Japanese state of Goryeo, but also with Mongolia in the north.

There are many things in this that Jiang Manhai speculated, but it is estimated that there are still many things that Jiang Manhai does not know, after all, he is just a water coward.
