Huang Jian's frightened face also changed color, and he glanced at Cai's tent, "Outside Cai, you can make the small ones suffer." "After that, hurry up and chase downstairs." Sanshao, don't get me wrong, I didn't know about this in advance! They lied to me together. It's really not my business! ”

Yu Ren quietly watched this Xu Sanshao go downstairs.

"Brother-in-law, in fact, you don't have to be so polite to this guy at all. I have already sent someone to inquire, although this Xu Sanshao looks like a child of a family, he is actually very narrow-minded. This time we sold his weaving house, and he didn't know how to curse you! And where else will I make any friends with you?

We need to do this cleanly, but we can't let him get his hands on it. ”

Yu Ren was a little surprised, this Xu Sanshao looked like a child of a family, but he didn't expect that he was such a cautious person, and he didn't feel a little regretful. However, he is not worried. said to Xu Qian, "You can just do it, I don't care." After saying that, Yu Ren also turned around and went downstairs.

Three days later, Cao An and Cai's tent room took the silver to Xu's house to trade. Xu Sanshao did not come forward again, but only sent a housekeeper to preside. Cao An and Cai Tent moved all the Xu family's looms, and they had already built a new garden for this purpose.

After that, Xu Qian quietly told Yu Ren that the person he sent to lure Xu Laosi had also successfully obtained the silver. In order to reduce the trouble, she has asked these people to send the money back to Nansha Island.

"Have you found anything abnormal in the Xu family?" Yu Ren asked.

"Not yet, just listen to Cai's tent. Last time, Huang Jian disappeared, it is estimated that Xu Sanshao was angry with him and sent someone to do him. ”

"Then you're going to have to teach them a few things to be careful. Since this Xu Sanshao can even kill Huang Jian, he naturally won't let them go easily. How could 20,000 taels of silver be so easy to take? Let them be sure to pay attention to Xu Sanshao, the sooner they leave Songjiang, the better. In addition, it is best for them not to contact us for a while, so as not to be discovered by the Xu family. ”

"Don't worry, brother-in-law! Although the Xu family has a lot of business from the outside, in terms of strength, they are no longer what they used to be. Now that the Xu family has no one outside, they want to embarrass us, but they are afraid that they will not be able to make big waves. What's more, since the last time you left, I arranged for someone to send a thousand taels of silver to that greedy Jiao Tui official. With this layer of relationship cover, even if something falls into the hands of others and stabs Old Man Jiao, he will try his best to cover it up for us. Xu Qian said.

Yu Ren stopped talking, he had to admit that although Xu Qian was small, she was really thoughtful when she started doing things.

"Since you can be prepared, then I can rest assured. Just in time when there is nothing going on on the island, I will stay at home for a few more days, and in a few more days, maybe there will not be such a peaceful life. ”

"Why don't we take a boat to Taihu Lake to play! I've grown so big, I haven't been to Taihu Lake yet! I heard that Taihu Lake is very big, and there are water thieves in it, I don't know what it looks like, if only I had a chance to meet it? Xu Qian said.

Yu Ren laughed, "You girl is really funny, people go to Taihu Lake either to enjoy the lake and mountains, or to visit famous places, but you have to look for water thieves." This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

"No, I heard that there is a group of water thieves in Taihu Lake, similar to the heroes on Shuibo Liang Mountain on the Water Margin told by the storyteller, who specialize in robbing the rich and helping the greedy. So wanted to go and see what they were like. ”

The two were talking, when suddenly someone from outside came to report, saying that a stranger had broken into the house, saying that there was something important to find Miss Xu.

The two secretly wondered, they didn't know who this was, what was so urgent. So the two of them went out together to see what was going on.

As soon as she got out of the inner house, Xu Qian saw a young man waiting at the door. Xu Qian recognized it at a glance, he was his brother's follower Shun'er.

"Brother Shun, why are you here?" Xu Qian was a little surprised, this Shun brother would not come out alone, it seems that something big must have happened on the island.

Sure enough, when Brother Shun saw Xu Qian, he hurried to catch up. "Miss, something's wrong!"

Yu Ren hurriedly stopped Brother Shun from further talking, and then took him to a secret room in the inner mansion. Yu Ren knew that the news brought by Brother Shun was related to the Xu family nine times out of ten. He didn't want the people of the Shen family to know what he had to do with a big pirate like the Xu family. After all, these people are not his cronies.

If they were to know about such a secret matter, maybe someone would take it to the court. Even if he doesn't sue the official, if he encounters a big mouth and pokes it out, it will be enough trouble for him.

"What's going on?" As soon as he entered the secret room, Yu Ren was the first to ask.

"Something's wrong!" Brother Shun said urgently. "A lot of officers and soldiers have surrounded our island. The young master asked me to pass a message to Miss and Yu Xianggong, and asked you to go back quickly. ”

Yu Ren was taken aback, "What's going on?" ”

"We don't know! It was fine the other day. The day before yesterday, many warships of officers and men suddenly appeared around the island, patrolling back and forth. The big boss sent people to investigate, and only then did he learn that several small islands around us had been occupied by officers and soldiers.

The big boss hurriedly asked everyone to prepare for war urgently, and the young master sent me to quietly rush out of the encirclement by night to report to the young lady and Yu Xiang, and let you return to the island as soon as possible. ”

Brother Shun finished his words in one breath, and he was a little angry. Yu Ren picked up a cup of tea on the table and handed it to him.

"What to do? Brother-in-law, let's go back quickly! Xu Qian was also anxious.

Yu Ren pondered for a moment and shook his head. "At this time, the situation is unclear, so we go back empty-handed, and it won't help them in the big hands. If we really fight with the officers and soldiers, there will be more of us and less of us, and it will not affect the overall situation.

The key now is that we must find a way to find out the deployment of officers and men first. Then send the news back to the big boss as soon as possible. That's the biggest help for them. I think that's exactly what the big bosses want us to do. ”

Xu Qian is a smart person, but because she suddenly heard the news, she was worried about the safety of her father and brother for a while, but she didn't expect this. At this time, listening to Yu Renyi's speech, he suddenly woke up.

"Okay, I'll find someone to find out the news. We still have a few spies in Songjiang City. After speaking, Xu Qian hurriedly went out.

After Xu Qian left, Yu Ren was not idle. He immediately summoned Cao An in and told him to immediately start hoarding food secretly. It just so happened that their Shen family had a rice shop in Songjiang, and the reason was also legitimate.

"How much?" Cao An asked.

At this time, it was a month or two after the autumn harvest, which was a good time to harvest grain, and all rice shops were also collecting grain.

"The more the merrier."

When Cao An heard this, he couldn't help frowning. "Young master, our family just sold the Xu family's weaving house a few days ago, and we don't have much silver on hand!"

"It doesn't matter, you use our family's two weaving houses as collateral and borrow 50,000 taels of silver from the big money shop in the city to collect grain."

Cao An was taken aback. "Young master, what are you doing with so much grain. This autumn's grain and rice harvest in the Susong area is good, the price is not high, according to the current market price, these 50,000 taels of silver can be collected 200,000 or 300,000 quintals! We have only a rice shop, even if the business is good, there is no need to stock up on so much rice! What's more, with so much rice grain, our rice warehouse is not enough. ”

"You don't care what you do, I'm useful anyway. As for the absence of rice barns. You can collect rice while repairing a few temporary rice silos to stack at the same time. Yu Ren said.

Cao An wanted to ask again, but Yu Ren had already urged him to do it quickly. "You do what I do first, I don't have time to explain it to you slowly. I'll explain it to you slowly when I'm free. ”

Cao An knew that his young master had always had different ideas, and he had many friends and a wide range of paths. Although he didn't know the reason, he still meticulously did what Yu Ren told him. After sending Cao An away, Yu Ren waited anxiously at home for news. When it was time for dinner, Xu Qian still didn't come back, and Yu Ren couldn't help but get anxious. But there is no way, he has never even touched the eyeliner of the Xu family in Songjiang Mansion, even if he wants to find Xu Qian, there is no way.

Can only wait.
