Looking at Ma Nan's expectant eyes, I waved my hand and motioned for him to lean over: Brother Ma, you don't have any way to let us go to the third floor

Ma Nan raised his head and thought for a moment: I have a way, but I don't know what the virtuous brother has planned

Li Yang approached Ma Nan s ear You do this first and then we are like this, after hearing this, Ma Nan raised his hand and slapped his thigh: Brother Xian, I really don t you think about it

Ma Nan got up and went outside to mumble a few words to the guy, and the guy took our group of people to the third floor and arranged a side room, which was just opposite the wing room where the governor and the prince of the governor's mansion were located, Li Yang asked the guy to bring up two pots of wine, and then opened the door unhurriedly: Brother Ma is about to appear in a while, let's watch while drinking

Ma Nan: Good wine and good drama are conscious

Li Yang looked at Tie Gui and waved his hand forward: Tie Gui'er will do what I told you

Tie Gui'er: Engong, I'll take someone there

The 8 guards brought by the eldest son were all in strict formation, and they had to stay outside the wing, the eldest prince had already left his words in advance, no one should think about ruining his good deeds today, Tie Gui'er took the people who came with him to pretend to be drunk and passed in front of the wing where the eldest son was, Tie Gui'er deliberately hit the eldest son's guard with his shoulder and glared angrily: No eyes

Not to be outdone, the guards put on a look of wanting to fight: who doesn't have eyes

Tie Gui'er: What about you, why are you here, people say that a good dog doesn't get in the way, you see this dog is just in the way

"Haha"

The guard reached out and grabbed Tie Gui'er's collar: I see that you are impatient

Tie Gui'er also grabbed the guard's collar: Who are you scaring about?

Seeing that the people on both sides were about to fight, a guard stepped forward to dissuade the guard who grabbed Tie Gui'er: Forget it, don't be like these drunks

Then he gently pushed Tie Gui'er back: Please forgive me, this brother is a little short-tempered, please forgive him for offending you

Tie Gui'er turned his head and looked at me to wait for instructions, I shook my head at Tie Gui'er and motioned for him to do it, Tie Gui'er continued to pretend to be drunk and make trouble: Who do you say is a drunk, you just drank too much

As soon as the words fell, Tie Gui'er swung his fist and hit the guard in the face, but his punch was deliberately empty, and the guard kicked Tie Gui'er to the ground with a kick out of instinctive reaction, Tie Gui'er quickly covered his stomach with his hand and shouted loudly: The eldest son's guard is too bullying, brothers hit him for me

Tie Gui'er took several guards and the eldest son's guards to fight in the narrow aisle, and the kung fu of the people on both sides was comparable, which frightened the guests on this floor, and quickly closed their respective doors, and someone was responsible for kicking the door of the eldest son's room during the fight

The eldest prince rushed out of the chamber violently, and when he saw that the people on both sides were fighting in a rage, he pulled out the steel knife hanging on the guard's waist and pointed it at Tie Gui'er and them: Dare to spoil my good deeds, I see that you are tired of being crooked

Guanshan saw that things were not good, and hurriedly ran over and became a peacemaker: This son, you are quick to calm down, this friend of mine, he drank too much, and please don't remember the villain, go around him once, son, you came to Lanxiang Pavilion to be happy, but don't let him sweep your interest

After speaking, he grabbed Tie Gui'er and scolded angrily: You don't let your brother worry wherever you go, I will make such a big disaster when I go to the thatched house, why are you still stunned there, why don't you hurry over and make amends to this son

Tie Gui'er bowed to the eldest son: This son, I am drunk today, please have a lot of it, don't be like me, I am here to make amends for your sins

The eldest son slapped Tie Gui'er in the face casually: This slap is to make you remember more in the future, and today this son is in a good mood, so I won't worry about you, so don't get out of here

Guanshan supported Tie Gui'er with both hands and prepared to leave with the accompanying guards, and the guys stopped them at the staircase with several guards from Lanxiang Pavilion: Wait until you want to go, you have to pay for the broken things first

Guanshan: We pay - we pay you to calculate how much silver you need

The man stretched his hand forward: five hundred taels

Guanshan knew that this guy was blackmailing him, but in order not to affect the plan to affect the owner, he still paid the five hundred taels of silver, and then left Lanxiang Pavilion with Tie Gui'er and his party in a hurry to wait outside

Seeing that the matter was settled, the eldest son turned around and prepared to go back to the wing, but he did suddenly stop and looked around, and then he summoned the guards to his side: Okay, this is none of your business, you also go down and have fun, so as not to spoil the good things of this son

As soon as the guards heard that there was such a good thing, they hurriedly thanked him: Thank you, eldest son

Seeing that the guards went downstairs, the eldest son returned to the wing room and closed the door, at this time Li Yang took a sip of wine from the wine jug and stood up from the chair: Brother Ma, it's time for us to take the stage

Li Yang went to the outside of the wing, glanced around, saw that there was no one on the road, and led Ma Nan and Li Song quietly to the outside of the wing, where the eldest son was, the three of them tied the handkerchief they carried with them to their faces, so that the eldest son could not see our appearance, Li Yang gently pushed the door out of a gap with his hand, and then used a dagger to pick the door bolt open

I heard a woman's voice coming from the side room: "Eldest son, please respect yourself—if you want to be here, I will tell you to let me go," needless to say, this must be the voice of Miss Yan'er

Then a man's voice came out, "You scream - even if you shout and cut your throat, no one will pay attention to it, Yan'er girl, this young master is sincere to you, you will obey me, and when I become the governor in the future, you will be the second grade of the governor's wife" Ma Nan heard the anger outside the door, his hands clenched and muttered in a low voice: "Eldest son, you beast, I don't know how many girls have been deceived with this rhetoric"

After opening the door, the three of us slowed down and quietly entered the room, at this time, the eldest son's mind was full of Yan'er, and the girl didn't notice us at all, through the translucent silk sand, you could vaguely see that the eldest son was bare on the bed turning clouds and rain, I patted Li Song and then pointed at the Yan'er girl, Li Song immediately understood my consciousness and nodded to me

Lifting the silk sand, I quietly put my hand on the shoulder of the eldest son and patted it lightly a few times, ah a scream but the three of us were startled, the eldest son suddenly turned around and pointed at us with a bloodless face, but he didn't say anything, it is estimated that I patted him on the shoulder with my hand to scare him

Miss Yan'er screamed loudly when she saw us, and Li Song hurriedly stepped forward and covered her mouth with her hand: "Shh

Miss Yan'er saw that we had no ill will towards her, so she nodded slightly, and then the eldest son came back to his senses and looked at us viciously: Bold, do you know who I am

Li Yang: Who are you, let's hear about it

Eldest Child: I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it

Li Yang: Then you can tell me about it

Eldest son: I am Chang Feiyu, the only son of the governor of Nantianfu, you don't ask anyone in Nantianfu who doesn't know my eldest son, my father has an army of 80,000 in Nantianfu, I advise you to know each other and don't be a nameless ghost

Li Yang: "Hey-you kid is still quite crazy, what if your father has a heavy army, you only have one person here, and there are three of us" said to the eldest son is a meal of big-eared melon seeds, at first this kid's mouth was quite hard, first insulting, then threatening, until dozens of big-eared melon seeds smoked his nose and swollen eyes, which stopped, Ma Nan is such a gentle person did not forget to take the opportunity to go up and kick him twice, I estimate that the eldest son has not been beaten so hard

The eldest son looked at us with snot and tears: What do you want to do, if you ask for money, I still have a thousand silver in my clothes, you can take it

Li Yang put on a disdainful look: "Eldest son, I am giving you a thousand taels of silver, please continue."

When the eldest son heard this, he was confused: "You-who are you?"

Li Yang: In the next is a storyteller, the eldest son and the girl are all well-known figures in the Nantian Mansion, I plan to divide the things in the room of the two into nine hundred and eighty-one paragraphs for three days and three nights, the head of the Nantian Governor's Mansion and the head of the Lanxiang Pavilion are so merry and happy today, it will surely become a good story, the princes and nobles are even more happy to see, and he will feel that his face is doubled in the court

The eldest son grabbed my clothes in a hurry: What the hell do you want to do?

Li Yang: Eldest son, have you ever heard of the flower thief?

The eldest son nodded slightly, "Of course I know"

Li Yang pointed his finger at Ma Nan: You know the flower thief, then I have to say that the following is my brother, he is a tree thief who is full of evil and famous, the eldest son, the beauty of the girl who hangs the curtain and the girl does not agree with you, or you still want him in every possible way, it also happens that my brother is not a good woman, but likes men, the eldest son will ask you to be wronged, and he will let you experience what it feels like to be reluctant

As I spoke, I glanced at Ma Nan, and he immediately reacted, stepped on the chair, looked up and laughed, "Haha, yes, I am a tree thief full of evil, the eldest son has been beating you since you entered this Lanxiang Pavilion, I will fall in love with you" He slowly approached the eldest son with both hands, and after getting closer, he began to hurriedly untie his clothes

When the eldest son saw this posture, he was so frightened that he closed his legs and sat on the ground and stepped back, seeing that he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, I stepped forward to stop Ma Nan: Brother, I think this person is quite honest, or let's forget it

After hearing this, the eldest son hurriedly nodded obediently, and Ma Nan looked at me with a blank eye, "What's the matter, my interest has just come up"

Li Yang: Brother, it's rare for our brothers to see each other, so it's better to change places and continue drinking

Ma Nan looked reluctant: Okay, then just listen to Brother Xian

Li Yang put his hands on his body and said, "Oh, I suffered" I gave all the money to Miss Yan'er just now, I don't know if my brother still has any silver on him

Ma Nan looked at his body, "Oops, I don't have any money here."

The eldest son is quite good at coming, and when he heard that we had no money, he quickly ran to the table and took out a 1,000 silver ticket from his clothes and handed it over, Ma Nan glanced at me, and realized that we should not take this money

Li Yang was so polite that he grabbed the silver ticket and put it in his arms: Brother, there is a rule in the rivers and lakes that if you take other people's money, you have to keep this secret for others, even if you die, you can't say that everyone on the rivers and lakes just calls it hush money

After hearing this, the eldest son nodded again and again: Yes, this is hush money

I chatted with Ma Nan to distract the eldest son, "Brother, we should almost go" When he wasn't paying attention, I knocked him on the neck casually, and the eldest son fainted, I held him up, and then put him on the chair and lay on the table

Li Yang fluttered his hands: This will be safe

Before leaving, Ma Nan came to the side of the bed and waved his hand for Li Song to put his hand down, and then looked at Miss Yan'er affectionately: Miss Yan'er, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, can I ask you to do us a favor

Although Miss Yan'er looked a little scared, she still nodded and agreed, Ma Nan took out a bag of loose silver and stuffed it in her hand: Miss Yan'er, wait for us to walk for a while, you are shouting

Miss Yan'er stared wide-eyed and nodded very obediently, just as we were about to leave, Miss Yan'er suddenly stopped Ma Nan: Wait, today thanks to a few strong men who rescued the little woman, she escaped by luck, and your great kindness to the little woman is beyond retribution

As she spoke, she took off the hairpin on her head: This hairpin has been with the little woman for many years, and the little woman wishes to give this hairpin to a few people to express her gratitude

Ma Nan took the hairpin after the excited hands trembled and carefully put it into his arms, when we left, he was still reluctant to look at the Yan'er girl, as soon as the Lanxiang Pavilion had been waiting outside, Guanshan and others led the three of us into an alley, they had already reconnoitred all the streets and alleys around this in advance, and when the guards of the eldest prince chased out, we had disappeared without a trace

On the way back, Ma Nan seemed extremely happy, he hummed a little song in his mouth, held the hairpin that Miss Yan'er gave her in his hand, put it in front of his nose, and took a deep breath: It's so fragrant - Brother Xian has to thank you for being a brother today, this eldest son usually relies on his father to be the governor of Nantianfu, but he didn't bear me, today you really took a bad breath for me, and more important things protected Miss Yan'er

Li Yang: Brother Ma has seen the outside, what else do our brothers talk about thanks?

Ma Nan raised his hand and put his arm around my shoulder: By the way, Brother Xian, I now have a batch of cotton cloth in my hand and want to sell it at a low price, see if you are interested

Li Yang: Absolutely

Ma Nan: I won't hide it from you with our brother's relationship, the price of this batch of cloth is low because our warehouse in the countryside leaked and rained to soak this batch of cloth, you can rest assured that there is absolutely no problem with the use of these cloths, don't we have to wash the clothes we usually wear with water if they are dirty

Li Yang: Brother Ma, how much do you plan to sell this batch of cloth?

Ma Nan: One more horse is only 400 lines, which is not even the cost

Li Yang muttered in a low voice, "400 tattoo money a horse" Ma Nan looked at me with some hesitation: "These are not clothed, if you don't want to ask the Chamber of Commerce, you can also sell it at a low price, I don't want to do it, our brother has a good thing, so naturally it can't be cheap outsiders."

Li Yang: Brother Ma, can I take a look at this batch of cloth first?

Ma Nan: Of course, tomorrow I will take you to the country warehouse to see this batch of cloth, and by the way, I will take you to a few interesting places to have a look

Li Yang: Then there is Brother Raoma

Our group sent Ma Nan back to the Nanjiang Chamber of Commerce and then returned to the inn, the next morning we gathered at the west gate of Nantianfu as agreed, at this time the city gate has not yet opened, waiting for the people out of the city to have breakfast on the side of the road, after a while Ma Nan and more than ten men drove 4 carriages to meet with us

When the time came, the soldiers defending the city were divided into two groups, and the heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, waiting for the people to go out of the city to interject, pushing each other and forming a long line, and the soldiers defending the city were strictly interrogated for those who wanted to go out of the city, and waited for a while before it was our turn

It also happened that the commander in charge of guarding the door today happened to know Ma Nan, and Ma Nan stepped forward to say hello to the commander: Brother Zhang, this is today

Commander "Oh" Recently, there was a tree picking thief in the city to pick the children of rich families to attack, and the Governor's Mansion ordered a strict investigation of people entering and leaving Nantianfu, and if any suspicious people were found, they were immediately arrested and handed over to the yamen for disposal, which was not a wanted notice posted on the city wall and rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver

Ma Nan gasped when he heard this: Brother Zhang wants to say that I have heard of the flower thief, but it is the first time I have heard of this tree thief

Soldier Commander: "Hey, this flower thief and tree thief are the same, but he is picking a man, what kind of people are there these days, how do you want to go out of the city, the third young master."

Ma Nan: "Hmm, Brother Zhang, I'm going to take my guys to the farm in the countryside to pick up some goods."

Commander: Then you can go out of the city after the regular inspection

The soldiers guarding the city checked us, although we were asked to open the package and check the carriage, but it was indeed a formality, and after the soldiers of the city guarded the city, they took a step back and waved their hands out: Release

Ma Nan bowed respectfully to the commander of the city guards: Brother Zhang, let's have a drink together another day

The commander nodded happily and waved his hand: Okay

Rushed into the day's road, in the evening it was going to be dark, we arrived at the Nanjiang Chamber of Commerce Farm, it is built in a criss-crossing mountain col villages, there can be hundreds of houses nearby, Ma Nan came up from the carriage and pointed to the col in front of him: virtuous brother, this col is more than 40 mountains and 100,000 acres of fields in the future, all of which are our Nanjiang Chamber of Commerce, you don't look at this col is inconspicuous, but it is indeed a feng shui treasure, there are nearly 4,000 tenants alone, nearly 100 kinds of herbs and mountain delicacies, that is everything

This farm is built very magnificently, it is a square high-walled compound, there are two red eyebrows and angry eyes in front of the two black iron-inlaid wooden doors, and the wooden plaque of the courtyard is written with gold paint Nanjiang Farm, Ma Nan grabbed the door knocker and buckled it hard "Dangdang"

I only heard a voice from the courtyard "Who?"

Ma Nan: Uncle Hao is me

The wooden door was opened, and a look at the window said, "Oh, it's the third young master, hurry up and open the door, the third young master is here."

"Squeak" two iron-clad wooden doors opened outward, and out of the courtyard came more than a dozen people with sticks, each with a waist knife hanging from his waist, and an old man with a stick led our group into the farm

Ma Nan followed behind the old man: Uncle Hao's father asked me to bring you some dried fruits and your favorite wine, and you can ask people to go to the carriage to get them in a while

Old man: San'er is waiting for you to go back, thank you for me, thank the big shopkeeper, by the way, San'er, this time the warehouse was soaked in rain, your Uncle Hao neglected, what the big shopkeeper plans to do with me, you can tell me directly

Ma Nan: Uncle Hao, these warehouses have been almost 20 years, and you have also said before that you have built a warehouse, but my father is too busy to neglect it, so I don't blame you for this matter, I came back to bring a friend to see these cloths, if the negotiation is completed, just pour out the warehouse and build a new warehouse from the new

The old man raised his hand and patted Ma Nan: San'er Uncle Hao has thanked me here, then I will let people clean up the place where you live and will not accompany you

Ma Nan bowed: Then there is Uncle Lao Hao

Ma Nan led us to a warehouse, where the shelves were filled with all kinds of cotton cloth of any color, Li Song couldn't hold back his excitement and pulled out a piece of cloth from the shelf, and after opening the cotton cloth, he touched the lines on it with his hand: Good cloth, really good cloth
