It seems that this Yu Xiaoxianggong is not as simple as he seems on the surface! These five shopkeepers must have been used by this seemingly kind-hearted Yu Xiaoxianggong to use some cruel means, so they had to perform such a scene, right? However, this trick has a very good effect on deterring the moths of the Shen family who plan to take a few bites on the big meat of the Shen family. Those stewards and guys who were originally thinking crookedly because of Shen Minghang's sudden illness, seeing that the five shopkeepers they swore to follow came back in such a mess, they naturally put away their crooked thoughts one by one and worked hard honestly.

After the five shopkeepers returned, although they were guilty, Yu Ren did not forgive them because of this. They were still handed over to the government. However, it was probably because they gave Jiao Tuiguan money, and several people were not sentenced severely. In addition to returning the greedy Shen family's wealth, each person was only subjected to thirty boards, and then exiled for a thousand miles.

However, soon an explosive piece of news came out again. These five shopkeepers were killed by a gang of robbers just a day after they were escorted out of Songjiang Mansion City. When the news came back, the people of Songjiang were secretly taken aback. Although they also felt that these five shopkeepers fell into the well when the owner was in trouble, and they were innocent of death. However, if Yu Ren really killed them, it was not allowed by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. However, such a way of dying has nothing to do with Yu Ren and the Shen family.

Everyone believed that these five shopkeepers were killed by Yu Ren, but no one had any evidence, and no one was willing to do this for them.

The fate of these five shopkeepers has had an excellent effect on the Shen family's group of stewards who were originally crooked. Although Yu Ren didn't say a word, none of them dared to think of anything crooked. When Shen Minghang first fell ill, they all felt that Yu Ren was young and had just taken over the management, so he didn't understand anything, so he was so confused.

Especially after seeing the example set by the five shopkeepers, many people began to contact and plot their plans to embezzle the owner's property in private. And the sudden death of these five shopkeepers made all these people break out in a cold sweat, and they quickly and quietly stopped their unsightly plans.

As a result, Yu Xiaoxianggong's vicious and ruthless image spread in Songjiang Mansion.

However, soon another incident happened, which gave the people of Songjiang a new understanding of Yu Xiaoxianggong. For the first time, they admitted that Shen Minghang's nephew was not as they thought at first - a rich second generation who ate and waited for death, and his business ability should not be underestimated.

On this day, the people of Songjiang saw that the Shen family cart pulled dozens of truckloads of cotton cloth and sent it to Mingang, and then the carriage came back, and then pulled it again, and it lasted for a day. There are people who have worked in Mingang and they have returned to the city. I don't know where the Shen family got so many boats, there are more than 20 of them. The cotton cloth was loaded with more than twenty ships, and then it set sail and left.

When this news spread, the people of Songjiang, who originally had contempt for Yu Ren, automatically put away this contempt one by one. And the head of the Xu family, Young Master Xu San, even slapped his thighs with remorse. He originally planned to take Shen Minghang's illness this time, so he could hit it with one blow and take the opportunity to bring down the Shen family. Since then, their Xu family has monopolized the cotton production in Songjiang. Unexpectedly, in the end, he lowered the price, but he still failed to bring down the Shen family, and he really lost his wife and soldiers.

said that Yu Ren was able to completely turn over this time, all thanks to Xu Xinsu's help. That day, he came out of Taibaiju, listened to Cai's analysis, and thought that the Zhang family's business must not be successful, so he had the idea of going to Xu Xinsu for help.

So, Yu Ren asked Cai's tent about where this Nansha Island was.

There was something strange about Cai's tent. "Nansha Island is more than ten miles out of the sea at Wusongkou. It's not a small island. I went to it once when I was younger. There are thousands of residents on the island, but in the last decade or two, no one has dared to go. Why did the proprietor suddenly ask about this? ”

"Oh! I've heard that the people on that island have boats, and many of them specialize in maritime business. I wanted to find out if I could catch up with a few big merchants who went to sea and sell them our cotton cloth. Yu Ren didn't hide it, but he didn't tell the truth completely to Cai's tent.

"That's unacceptable! It's too risky. I've heard that in the last dozen years, it has been occupied by a big pirate surnamed Xu. Although there are many shipowners who do business in the East and the South Seas. However, they were all private ships, and there was no official document from the shipping department. I heard that they still had artillery and bird guns on board, and the officials of the shipping department were also powerless and even a little afraid of them.

Such a businessman is not suitable for people like us to have open contact. Back then, the Shen Dong family was reluctant to deal with even slightly innocent merchants like the Zhang family, let alone those innocent maritime merchants on Nansha Island. ”

Yu Ren listened to Cai's words and did not make a sound. He knew that it would be easy to be caught. However, otherwise, there seems to be no better way to save the Shen family's crisis.

Yu Ren thought about it in the house all night, and finally decided to give it a try. He didn't tell anyone about this again, but just asked Cai Tent to find him a small fishing boat. He knew that his action this time was very risky. is not only because of Xu Xinsu's illegal identity, if it is known and sued to the government, he will be guilty of gangsterism; Even if there is no this, Nansha Island is so big, he has never been there, and he doesn't know anyone, so it is not easy to find Xu Xinsu. If you encounter an unknown pirate, it is not impossible to deal with yourself on the spot.

However, for the sake of his uncle's lifelong business, Yu Ren still decided to take a risk.

In the afternoon, Yu Ren took a fishing boat along the Huangpu River all the way to the east. Because Yu Ren gave three times the fare of ordinary guests, the fishermen did not ask much.

It wasn't until the boat sailed to the Wusong River that the boatman on the fishing boat opened his mouth and asked Yu Ren, "Where is the little minister going?" If you're going to go to sea, a boat like mine won't do. Although at this time, the monsoon at sea is not too strong. But it's not something a boat like ours can afford. ”

Yu Ren smiled and didn't answer, "You continue to drive your boat." As for where I'm going, you don't have to worry about it. I won't put you in danger anyway. You know, if you are in danger, you are in danger as much as I am in danger. ”

When the boatman heard this, he asked no more.

However, until the fishing boat sailed out of Wusongkou, Yu Ren still did not have the slightest intention of turning the boat around. The boatman couldn't hold back any longer, "Little Xianggong, let's go to sea if we go again." There is a great pirate in this area, and I have heard that it is very profitable, and if we fall into their hands, there will be no good fruit to eat! ”

"Don't worry! There will be no pirates. I'm just going to visit a relative on Nansha Island! Yu Ren said lightly.

When the owner of the ship heard this, his face turned white with fright.

"Little, don't be joking. Nansha Island is a pirate's nest. Let's go there, isn't that equivalent to going to death! The villain didn't dare to go. Little Minister, you better find someone else! So saying, the boatman turned around.

Yu Ren finally showed his rogue nature at this time. Then he suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom and put it on the waists of the boatman.

"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll kill you with one sword. Anyway, now that I'm at sea, even if I kill you, I just throw you into the sea, and no one will know. ”

When the boatman saw the dagger in Yu Ren's hand, he panicked, and he dared not to say no, so he had to nod again and again.

Seeing that the boatman did not dare not go, Yu Ren took out a rope from his bosom and tied one end to the boatman's feet and the other end to the boat. The boatman was puzzled, "What is this doing?" ”

Yu Ren smiled a thief. "Didn't you say that the sea was stormy! I'm not afraid that you will accidentally fall into the sea and not be able to get up! ”

The boatman was not a fool, and naturally understood that Yu Ren's move was to prevent him from suddenly jumping off ship and escaping. Originally, he was also planning to do this, but he didn't expect to see through it to Yu Ren first. The boatman had no choice but to dispel this idea and sent Yu Ren to the island all the way to the island.
