"My lord, the people have already admitted that they are talking nonsense, so don't worry."

"What's the use of forcing him to apologize!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu slapped the table and roared at the squire like a lion, "You only do this kind of idle work!" Don't you know that no matter whether that Diao Min admits it or not, as long as this matter reaches the ears of Ye Zhifu, he will come in person if he says anything...... When the time comes, if we talk about this openly, then our heads will fall to the ground! ”

"Yes...... Is it so serious? The squire of the Ministry of Works became more and more afraid, and his tongue could not be straightened.

"You don't know?"

"The villain has been here for three years, and he has never heard of the Fang family's dyeing workshop......"

Shang Shu sighed: "Come here, I'll talk to you." ”

The waiter walked over slowly and listened to him say: "This rich businessman is named Fang Jiancai, and he only opened an inconspicuous small workshop in Nanjing fifteen years ago, which is considered a small business, and at that time, the dyeing business in Nanjing was only monopolized by the Guanjia, and no one could match it, which can be described as a dominant party. ”

"Playing house?"

"Yes. I still remember this person's name, he was called Chu Zi, and his father Guo Sheng was also a big official, but wasn't he disliked by the Liu Party and gave up. He also has a younger brother named Xiangren, and I don't know what else the situation is. ”

"Then the lord will continue."

"I'll moisten my throat first." Shang Shu picked up the tea, took a sip slightly, and continued to talk, "Seeing that his silk dyeing business has become bigger, he is inevitably a little arrogant and arrogant, and quarrels with the government over the matter of collecting taxes. At that time, Nanjing was managed by the prefect Lu Fangxuan and the king of Wanjun, these two were by no means idle people, and they were not easy to provoke, so they thought about supporting the other party to balance his power because of this matter. Fang Jiancai was once a classmate of Lu Fangxuan, and Lu Governor's Mansion helped him to open a dyeing workshop to secretly resist the family. That Chu Zi was also very knowledgeable, and found out the thoughts of the government, so he dragged his family north to Yangzhou and never came back. ”

"And then?"

Later, Lu Fangxuan gave Wan Heshun the right to recall all officials, and he wholeheartedly helped the Fang family run the dyeing workshop, regardless of political affairs. As a result, a few years passed, and Lu Fangxuan was transferred out to serve as the Duke of Jing Guo, and at this time, the king of Wanjun realized that this dyeing workshop had become a tool for Lu Fangxuan to insert eyeliner and remotely control Nanjing. ”

"King Wanjun is so smart, how could he be tricked by this Lu Fangxuan?"

"Lu Fangxuan had long known that he would not stay in Nanjing for long, and he took the initiative to throw the military and political power to him, and the king of Wanjun was not moved? No matter how smart you are, you are also a human being, and you will naturally have weaknesses. ”

"So," the waiter of the Ministry of Works suddenly realized and stood up, "You are afraid that after Ye Yongjia finds out, he will inevitably pull out the thorn in the eye of the Fang family's dyeing workshop, and the only one who can command Fang Jiancai is Lu Fangxuan!" ”

Shang Shu slapped his thigh: "That's right! Say that the score is not bad! ”

"In that case, Lu Fangxuan can take advantage of this incident to return to Nanjing and make a comeback!" The squire said, and secretly sweated for himself.

"That's right." Wei Chong walked from behind the screen and said.

"Wei Ye!" The squire hurried over, then knelt down. "Master Wei, I really can't handle this meeting...... I beg you to do me a favor! ”

"Don't rush, don't rush." Wei Chong seemed a little absent-minded, "You just need to make a false testimony and give it to the officers and soldiers present at the time, saying that the people are delirious, don't be gullible." These sergeants are very honest, and they can finish prevaricating, so they don't need to be too nervous; As for the prefect, I can hide it. ”

"Wei Ye is the confidant of the county king, since he said that it is okay, then you will do it. Go for it! Shang Shu poured tea and said.

"Understood." The squire nodded, bowed to the two, and walked out of the house.

Wei Chong talked with the prefect for a while, and said something inconsequential, before he said that there was something wrong and turned to leave.

He walked east from the end of Xishuiguan, and he never let go of his worries on the road, always thinking before and after. Although he is a spy that Wan Heshun planted next to Ye Yongjia, he is by no means the kind of person who is willing to be a dog's leg. Wei Chong thought that if Wan Heshun continued to grow big, no one would be invincible, he would be useless in the eyes of the prince, he would be neglected, and his fame and fortune would not be complete; Why not lure the wolf into the house, so that Nanjing has a fierce rival comparable to Wan Heshun, so that he can enjoy wealth forever?

He was making up his mind, and suddenly raised his face to see Cai Xianqing wearing a coarse cloth short coat, not looking at the road, and walking over with a stuffy head.

"Isn't this Cai Gong?" Wei Chong stood up to him, grabbed his arm, and smiled.

"How?" Cai Xianqing followed the voice and saw that it was Wei Chong, so he smiled happily. Wei ...... Oops, I don't even know what to call it! ”

"How can you be so exquisite, just call it as usual."

"I heard that they all call you 'Wei Ye' on weekdays? But ......" Cai Xianqing grabbed his wrist in turn and smiled: "I don't want you to be my son." Let's call you a virtuous brother according to an unusual name. ”

"Say whatever you want! By Cai Gong! Wei Chong saw that he refused to say a word of flattery in a single play, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"What are you going to do?" Wei Chong asked with a smile.

"Go to Lao Lang'an, see the situation there, if you flood something, you can make preparations at both ends."

"That's right, that's right......"

"What about you, brother Xian? What are you doing? Cai Xianqing stared intently into his eyes and asked.

"On the order of the prefect Ye Yongjia, go to the temple to comfort the victims, and investigate the disaster by the way."

"I only heard the rumors that the Fang family dyeing workshop ......" He looked up at the sky, and then lowered his voice: "Is this true?" ”

This question is exactly in Wei Chong's arms.

Needless to say, the joy in Wei Chong's heart naturally went without saying, but in order to hide this thought, he only pretended to be frightened and said, "Don't say more!" ”

Cai Xianqing rolled his eyes: "Really? ”

Wei Chong nodded silently, and then put his mouth in front of his ear: "Really." However, don't teach Ye Yongjia to know about the dyeing workshop, otherwise the king of Wanjun ......"

Cai Xianqing hurriedly pushed him away: "I know...... Don't let outsiders see it, get suspicious, or go away. ”

Wei Chong also said 'yes', and the two saluted and parted ways.

Cai Xianqing looked back at Wei Chong's figure from time to time, and when he saw him turn into a street corner, he walked towards Huaiqing Bridge with confidence.

Because the Huaiqing Bridge is located downstream, the flooding is not very serious, and the water was only one foot high at the beginning, but now it has fallen half a foot, so the business has been done again, but it is much less crowded.

Cai Xianqing pulled up his trouser leg and strode into the familiar tea shop, splashing a powerful sound of 'popping'.

"Tea master, simmer me a pot of tea, I'll sit here for a while."

Cai Xianqing walked to the bottom of the shed and shouted at the shopkeeper who was busy wiping the table in front of the counter.
