Chapter 204: The Qian family is ruthless
After Lin Ruyu left, before Qian Jiangping could make a fuss, Lin Sangu had already lowered her face and said coldly, "Qian Jiangping, I'll put my words here today: if you dare to hit my brother's idea of the cargo on the ship, I'm not done with you!"
was embarrassed by his wife in front of Lin Ruyu, and now he was intimidated by his wife like this, Qian Jiang jumped to his feet in anger, "What did I say? I just saw that Ruyu was still a child, so I kindly reminded you, what are you doing with a cold nose and a cold face? I think it's because you have a weak heart and are fighting the Lin family's cargo ship, so I see that everyone is like you!"
"I did have the idea of striking the ship's cargo."
Before the corners of Qian Jiangping's smug mouth curled, Lin Sangu continued, "That's my Lin family's thing, as long as I ask for it, my brother will give it to me, my idea is right!" Let me tell you Qian Jiangping, I can't control if you follow the crooked path, but if you dare to touch the Lin family's goods, I will immediately stab all the you did to the yamen, and we will die and the net will be broken."
"You...... You crazy woman!" Qian Jiangping was so angry that he threw off his sleeves and went to the cross-hospital.
Seeing Qian Jiangping come in with a calm face, he knew that this cowardly didn't get things done. Not long after she entered the door, the concubine scolded so hard in her heart, and she smiled sweetly, "Master, I heard that the Lin family is here?"
"Humph!" Qian Jiangping threw off his robe and fell on the chair.
The concubine diligently brought tea and fed Qian Jiangping half a cup, and then snuggled into his arms and persuaded softly, "Don't be angry, because others are angry and hurt your body, the slave family will die of distress."
Qian Jiangping's anger was rubbed away by the fragrant and lovely people, and he snorted, "The Lin family has not had a good thing since they were old to young."
Is this even his own wife scolded? The little concubine nestled in his arms hooked the corners of her mouth, and her voice was still soft enough to pinch out water, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven. Sir, you tried your best to help them find a way, but if they don't listen to you, that is, their lives are not good, no wonder others."
Yes, it's their bad lives, and I can't blame them. Qian Jiangping's last bit of discomfort also dispersed, and he kneaded the beautiful child in his arms with peace of mind.
The concubine who was soft in his arms held his arm and said delicately, "The slave family doesn't know what the rules are, they just feel sorry for you. Those pirates just rushed over and shouted a few times to scare people, you used your own ship and your own people, taking the risk to help them transport goods to exchange money, how come those pirates in the end only share half of you, what a bully!"
Nephrite is warm and fragrant, although Qian Jiangping has smoked, but he is still a little sensible, "Less is less, but safe." They are guilty of capital crimes, and they earn hard-earned money."
Cowardice!
The concubine shrank aggrievedly on Qian Jiangping's chest, "But as long as the slave thinks of so much silver flowing out of the master's pocket, he feels very distressed. The Lin family's big ship has been out for more than two years, and it must have brought back a lot of things, and this batch of goods must be worth a lot of silver. With this money, you can buy the Gu family's mulberry field and weaving workshop, right? , after this transaction, don't partner with them."
Qian Jiangping's movements on his hand were stunned and silent.
The concubine raised her jade arm and hugged Qian Jiangping's neck coquettishly, "After taking over the Gu family's silk business, the master will no longer have to sell coolies to those people, and the slaves don't have to feel distressed, it's good."
Qian Jiangping hugged the little goblin in his arms, and his mind was also active. This line of work was originally to support the bold and starve the faint-hearted. Instead of making hard-earned money, it is better to wash your hands with a large gold plate and step down to do serious business!
When Lin Ruyu returned to the inn, Lu Daoliang was discussing with Shen Ge about going to sea, "There are thirteen large and small islands off the coast of Changzhou, this is this one, we have many people and boats, it is best to find a bigger island." That's it......
Lin Ruyu looked at the chart on the table, and after listening to Lu Daoliang's introduction, her finger fell on a long island, "What do you think of this island?"
Lu Daoliang immediately shook his head, "This island is called Changgan Island, the island is big and high, and the location is more suitable. But there are many reefs and poisonous snakes on this island, so few people venture to the island except snake catchers."
Poisonous snakes and poisonous insects? Lin Ruyu and Shen Ge glanced at each other and asked, "There is no poison on Luotan Island?"
Lu Daoliang explained, "There are, but there are much fewer, so most of the people are waiting on Lok Tan Island, although they may suffer
to pirates sneak up, but it's much easier to deal with people than against poisonous snakes."
This is indeed the case for others, but it is not the case for Lin Ruyu, who has studied poisonous snakes for half a year. Lin Ruyu asked, "Do you think the pirates will use the cover of poisonous snakes to set up their old nests on Changgan Island?"
"No way." Lu Daoliang replied in the affirmative, "Pirates are also afraid of snakes."
Shen Ge smiled, "Uncle Lu, there are many reefs on the edge of Changgan Island, there should be a place to park the boat, right?"
These two children are not brainless, since they chose Changgan Island, they should have their reasons, Lu Daoliang replied, "I really don't know about this, I'll send someone to inquire, and we'll meet again the day after tomorrow."
After Lu Daoliang left, Lin Ruyu said, "I was in the Qian family, and the third aunt Qian Jiangping said that I should go to Changgan Island, but the third aunt disagreed. I think there must be other problems on Long Pole Island besides the snakes and insects."
Shen Ge understood, "Xie Yao is good at using snake venom and knows a lot about poisonous snakes. If the pirates collude with He Jiongming, they may be surprised and choose to be the nest in what everyone thinks is the most unlikely. Without further ado, I'll go to explore the island tonight. If there are pirates on the island, we will destroy their lair before my father-in-law returns; If there are no pirates on the island, let's go and garrison the island and wait for my father-in-law to return."
Lin Ruyu shook her head, "Don't be in a hurry for these two days, let's see what else the Qian family will do, and we can also take advantage of these two days to inquire about the situation on the island first, and prepare enough antidotes for realgar and snake venom."
At night, when Lin Ruyu was preparing the snake venom antidote, Xianyin reported all the information about the Qian family that Luo Xian and they heard about to Lin Ruyu, "After the death of the previous head of the Qian family and the eldest son, Qian Jiangping took over the business and wealth of the Qian family. There was some gossip on the streets of Changzhou that Qian Jiangping's father and brother may have been killed by him. Also, although Qian Jiangping has a two-room outer room and a four-room concubine room, his two daughters and one son are all sons-in-law."
Speaking of this, the strings paused, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to speak.
When Lin Ruyu raised his head, Xianyin said euphemistically, "The children born in Qian Jiangping's outer chamber and concubine's room all died in accidents, and for this reason, Qian Jiangping and his wife had a very fierce quarrel. The Qian family's business is now divided into two halves, 60% in the hands of Qian Jiangping and 40% in the hands of Mrs. Qian."
Lin Ruyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who has Qian Jiangping been in frequent contact with recently?"
"There is one." Xianyin replied, "He brought back a concubine half a month ago, and it is said that he saved it when he left the ship."
