Although Chu Nan was quite annoyed by the inexplicable involvement of the Chu family's old mansion, he also understood that even if he went to ask about it, the people in the old mansion might not pay attention to him, and he could only take one step at a time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chu Nan went to Wang Defu under the pretext of discussing the case, and said goodbye to Yang Lin, who was still ready to entangle. Yang Lin could only stomp her feet resentfully and ran back to the house to sulk.

Wang Defu sat at the door and watched Chu Nan and Yang Lin frolicking with a smile, and sighed: "When I saw you, I felt that I was old." However, the old man told you as a person who came over, but you should pay attention to proportions and don't get into trouble. ”

Chu Nan smiled dryly: "What Lord Wang said is that I just know it in my heart. ”

Wang Defu smiled meaningfully, shook his head and said: "It's not enough to know in my heart, I don't necessarily have to control my heart, you know, men chase women, across the mountain, women chase men, and the interlayer yarn .................."

Chu Nan was a little embarrassed and said, "Lord Wang, spare the official, let's change the topic and talk about the current case." ”

Wang Defu smiled, no matter what, it was Chu Nan's private matter, and after saying too much, it would be annoying, and said with a smile: "What else to say, didn't you say everything that should be said?"

Chu Nan sighed: "There are some ideas I just want to talk to Lord Wang, and some questions can only come to you to ask." ”

Wang Defu changed his posture, made a deferential appearance, and said with a smile: "If there is any way to say, just ask any questions." ”

Chu Nan thought for a while and sighed: "Actually, I went to see Zhang Mingjing and found that although he is not very old, his strength in the open and secretly is not weak. ”

Wang Defu frowned and said: "Qinghe County is the best place to go to sea under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou, and thousands of maritime merchants come and go every year, and the taxes involved are more than millions? Zhang Mingjing has been a county magistrate for three years, and it is not surprising that the old man knows that he has close contacts with those profit-seeking magnates in the capital, but how can he have a relationship with Yingzhou, which is thousands of miles away?"

Chu Nan briefly talked about the relationship between the pirates and Fusang Mountain in Yingzhou, and simply singled out: "At the moment, everyone seems to think that the Zhang family and His Majesty are competing, but in my opinion, the stakes are very complicated, and it is by no means so simple. ”

Wang Defu pondered and asked, "What's complicated?" ”

Chu Nan looked at Wang Defu, who was a little stupid and suspicious, and said helplessly: "I see that Zhang Mingjing is acting tricky and ambitious, so he may not be with the Zhang family." Moreover, some big people and small families who look at the Zhang family are not pleasing to the eye, and they are afraid that they are also ready to pounce and take a few bites. I listened to Zhang Mingjing's meaning, there are still some people behind him, but Yingzhou City's mind is hard to guess, and I don't know which side he will stand on. ”

Wang Defu sighed and said: "You should tell Lord Liang about these things, and tell the old man that these are of little use." ”

Chu Nan smiled bitterly: "Lord Liang is in a high position, so he may not know these things, and besides, I am also guessing, is there any evidence, and I dare to say that I am not looking for scolding, just now that Lord Liang has begun to pull his hair, and it will become complicated again, I am afraid that Lord Liang will not be able to think of hitting the wall." ”

Wang Defu didn't smile and said, "Shouldn't you ask questions next?"

Chu Nan bowed his head and said, "Actually, I want to ask, what did the Chu family say after they came here today?

Wang Defu sighed and said, "Finally asked." However, I didn't plan to hide it from you, it was the housekeeper of the Chu family's old mansion who came, although he didn't say anything clearly, but he still said something to the Zhang family. As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Nan and said softly: "I just don't know if Chu Shangshu knows about this, according to Chu Shangshu's surname, he shouldn't have committed such a wrong thing." ”

Chu Nan sneered: "I think it's because the foxes and the fake tigers plus the minions who don't know the height of the sky and the earth make their own decisions, and they will always pay the price for their stupidity in the future." ”

Wang Defu smiled and asked, "Oh, do you want to clean the portal?"

Chu Nan rolled his eyes and said weakly: "I haven't been back to the old mansion for many years, who will listen to me? ”

Wang Defu asked with interest: "Then what are you going to do?"

Chu Nan said lightly: "I am the genuine young master of the Chu family, and I can represent the Chu family better than any housekeeper." Ming said that I would personally take someone to arrest the big shopkeeper of Hebisheng, and let them guess. ”

............................................................................................................

In its heyday, at least 30% of the cargo ships that went to sea from Qinghe County hung the banner of Hebisheng, and at least 30% had shares of Hebisheng. It was only later that Emperor Liang issued orders one after another, strictly controlled the cargo ships that went to sea, and imposed heavy penalties on merchants who went to sea without permission, coupled with extremely high taxes, the profits from going to sea were not high, so Hebisheng gave up many side businesses and began to develop on land.

Everyone in Hangzhou knows the name of Hebisheng, but very few people know the details of Hebisheng, but they vaguely know that Hebisheng has a great background. Therefore, every time the people of Hangzhou pass by Hebisheng, they will cast a look of awe, and in the eyes of many people, the big shopkeeper of Hebisheng is not far from the prefect of Hangzhou.

The big shopkeeper of Hebisheng has been a little angry recently, and Wei Si, who was half-cut into the ground, didn't take care of his old age, so he went with his son's apprentice to complain, and shook out the business that Hebisheng was secretly doing. Zheng Qichu has been busy with how to remedy it, and he doesn't even have time to go to Mingyue Tower's Oiran Moyu performance.

Although Zheng Qichu seems to have unlimited scenery, he actually understands that the name of the big shopkeeper is just used to hide people's ears, and it is not his turn to decide on such a big business as selling tribute and ordnance privately, most of them are ordered by the boss behind the scenes, and he does it according to the rules. It's just that this time the boss behind the scenes is extremely angry, Zheng Qichu knows that most of his good days are over, but he still dredged up the relationship and invited a big man, as long as he explains it clearly, this big man is relieved, and he can at least have a way to live.

At this time, there was a noise outside the door, which made Zheng Qichu curse secretly, at this critical time, those wastes under his hands didn't know to be quieter, and they really annoyed the big man, and his previous efforts were in vain.

Outside the door, a small guy trembled and said, "Master Shopkeeper, the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate are here, you should come out quickly." ”

Zheng Qichu was taken aback, and said in a deep voice: "I know, you go down first." As he spoke, he turned around and smiled: "Second master, I've almost explained it, Wei Si is a trusted person of the old shopkeeper because of his seniority, and he has never taken me seriously, and this time it really has nothing to do with me." ”

The second master nodded, pointed to the outside of the room, which was still very noisy, and asked, "What the hell is going on?

Zheng Qichu was not stupid, and said with a package ticket: "Second master, don't worry, the person who came must be Lord Wang Buregret of the Inspectorate, the villain is very familiar with him, and he used to invite him to Mingyue Tower to drink." After speaking, he carefully suggested: "Second master, why don't you go out through the back door first, so as not to be seen by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

The second master nodded and smiled: "That's okay, today the Moyu girl from Mingyue Tower is going to West Lake to play again, I can really go to the cheers." ”

At this time, someone pushed the door in and asked with a smile, "Who is Moyu?"

Zheng Qichu was furious, and he was about to scold when he turned around, but when he saw the person who came clearly, he barely squeezed out a few smiles, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Chu, Miss Moyu is the top brand of Mingyue Tower, and she is also a famous Oiran." ”

Chu Nan didn't care about Zheng Qichu, looked at the middle-aged fat man who was about to get up, pointed at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

The second master frowned, and said coldly: "I'm Zhang Pu, I'm just here to talk about some business with Steward Zheng, and I'm about to leave." ”

Chu Nan suddenly realized, thinking that it was Zhang Mingjing's father, and asked: "Didn't the two of you just say that you were going to support Oiran Moyu, why did it become a business negotiation again?"

Zhang Pu's face was a little ugly, and he said impatiently: "The business is over, can't you say something else?"

Chu Nan also sneered: "The shopkeeper of Zheng Da is suspected of buying and selling tribute and weapons to the enemy country privately, could it be that the business that the two of you are talking about is this?"

Zheng Qichu said in a deep voice: "Lord Chu has to talk about evidence when he speaks, this is all the crime of killing the head. ”

Chu Nan stared coldly at Zhang Pu, who was full of disdain, and said slowly: "This official is here to take you back to try the case this time, and you say I have no evidence?"

Zheng Qichu's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Zhang Pu as if asking for help.

Zhang Pu smiled disdainfully, and asked casually: "Lord Chu, I said that I am here to discuss business, and I have no contact with him before, Lord Chu is busy with official business, so I will leave first." ”

Chu Nan said with a smile: "Second Master Zhang, don't go in a hurry, you haven't made it clear what business you are talking about, it's better to go back with me, and it will save you a bad reputation." ”

Zheng Qichu was on the list of two fierce guards, and looked at Zhang Pu pleadingly, and was just about to open his mouth to ask for help, but Zhang Pu glared back coldly, and lowered his head in some panic.

Zhang Pu laughed angrily: "Lord Chu wants to take me back, but he really doesn't give the Zhang family face." ”

Chu Nan shook his head and said, "Second Master Zhang is serious, but I just let you go back and make it clear." As for face, hehe, this thing is earned by himself, but not given by others. ”

Zhang Pu's face was very ugly, and his fat face was a little red.

Zheng Qichu plucked up the courage and said: "Lord Chu, I have a friendship with Lord Wang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Second Master Zhang is also a friend of Liang Yushi, my lord should think about it again, it's really not okay for the villain to follow the adult back, let Second Master Zhang go first." ”

Chu Nan smiled and nodded, Zheng Qi Chu saw that Youmen was just about to make persistent efforts when he was slapped in the face fiercely, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he spit out a few white jades.

Chu Nan shook his hands that were a little numb, and said to Zhang Pu with a smile: "Second Master Zhang, I think it's better to go, what do you say?"

Zhang Puhe had suffered such anger, but he was also shocked by Chu Nan's merciless slap, bowed his head and walked in front, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Lord Chu is provoking the relationship between the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Zhang family, and when I get to the place, I will go to Lord Liang to ask for an explanation." ”

Chu Nan didn't care, stretched his waist and yawned and ordered, "You take Shopkeeper Zheng and Second Master Zhang back." The suspect mentioned Moyu just now, and the official felt that it might be the accomplice of Zheng Da's shopkeeper, and for the sake of prudence, the official decided to go to the West Lake alone to explore, and you should be careful. ”

Zhang Pu's face was gloomy and dripping water, and he muttered: "You will pay the price, no one in the south dares to challenge the dignity of the Zhang family." ”
