Chapter 428: Although the merchant's son is expensive, he is also looked down upon

Under the clouds, the continuous spring rain is a little chilly, and it is quietly dotting this ancient city.

The main streets of Suzhou City are Weiqian Street, Fuqian Street and Daoqian Street, of which Fuqian Street runs through the straight long street on the north-south axis, while Weiqian Street and Daoqian Street are the straight long streets running through the east and west.

The Suzhou Mansion and Su Song Changbing Beidao and other yamen are located on Daoqian Street, among which the office of the governor of Yingtian is also located in Suzhou City, which is a place with a very complete administration.

In addition to the political factor, the ancient city has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Because Suzhou thrived on silk, wealthy merchants and gentry who became wealthy were usually based in the east of the city, but silk workshops appeared to be everywhere in the west and outside the city.

The streets of the city are full of shops, there are also merchants walking through the streets, and there are even all kinds of swindlers, and there is no shame in trying to get rich by buying and selling here.

As the most prosperous entertainment industry in Jiangnan in this era, Qinglou is naturally located in the city, and it is also located in the east of the city in the wealthy area.

There are six gates of Suzhou City, only Xu Gate has no bridge, and you can only borrow a ferry to and fro. But although the other five gates have bridges, they all have water gates for people to enter.

Located in the east of the city, in the area of Jiangmen, this is a wooden high-rise building with Jiangnan characteristics, and it is also one of the four green buildings in Suzhou City.

"Why is this boy's face so dark?"

"It's black, but it's really black and black!"

"Childe's first time, right? The slave family is called the White Lady! ”

……

Because it was still early, the girls were more idle now, and several girls upstairs noticed the appearance of black-faced young people, and immediately recruited them.

"Do everything I command!" The black-faced young man said very seriously before stepping up the steps.

This black-faced young man is none other than Yin Songcheng, the world-famous Shuntian Mansion, and the new governor of Yingtian who has just been appointed by the emperor himself.

In order to rectify Jiangnan and implement the new decree of the imperial court, Emperor Hongzhi can be said to have sent the most capable courtiers.

Song Cheng was three days later than Wang Yue to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, but when he just came to Nanjing City, Wang Yue had already been assassinated and returned to Nanjing City to recuperate from his injuries and illness.

In the face of such a dangerous Jiangnan, Song Cheng did not choose to retreat, but decided to come to Suzhou City in Weifu, with Wang Yue's grandson Wang Yu by his side.

Because the opponent this time is the official gentry group in Jiangnan, Song Cheng did not plan to directly reveal his identity, but disguised himself as a scholar to investigate secretly.

"Song ...... Childe, what are we doing in Qinglou? Wang Yu still didn't understand why Song Cheng came straight to the Qinglou, and asked in great confusion.

Song Cheng looked up at the gate of the magnificent green building in front of him, and replied very seriously: "Find the most beautiful woman on the first floor of Suzhou!" ”

"You...... Did you pretend to be all before? Wang Yu's eyes widened, and he immediately said with a shocked face.

Although he didn't have much intersection with Song Cheng, he always knew that Song Cheng was a rare good official in Shuntianfu, and he was even named Song Qingtian in Beijing.

It's just that who would have thought that all this turned out to be a disguise.

Just arrived in Suzhou City, and went straight to the most famous Moon Picking Tower, and even bluntly said that he wanted to find the most beautiful girl in the Moon Picking Tower, which was simply a beast.

This search for a woman has become so impatient and undisguised.

"You'll remember to talk less!" Song Cheng didn't explain, but told again seriously.

When he came to the Moon Picking Tower in Suzhou City this time, he naturally did not just leave the capital and let himself go, but had deeper considerations.

How to push the executive decree is actually a matter for the imperial court, and now he is most concerned about the affairs at hand, and the robbery of the golden ship is the top priority of his new governor.

There are all indications that the hijacking of the golden ship was a sudden event.

If the original sailing route is followed, even the most ferocious pirates will not dare to fight the idea of the Ming Golden Ship. It was precisely because the golden ship ran aground in a typhoon that it gave thieves an opportunity.

It's just that the typhoon is an accident, so the thieves who ransacked the gold ship must have also been unplanned, and even they are not pirates themselves.

Just like a person who had no intention of robbing, but suddenly saw a person holding gold and dying on the side of the road, this person is likely to pick up a stone on the ground and make a vote.

It is precisely because of this that when Song Cheng saw the file of the robbery of the golden ship, he did not think that it was the Japanese who had just emerged in the southeast in recent years, but put his suspicious eyes on the merchant ships that came and went.

Although the location of the incident of the golden ship was between Zhejiang and Nanzhili, the maritime merchants of Nanzhili were obviously more active, so it is more likely that the people who looted belonged to the maritime merchants of Nanzhili.

After he investigated the records of the ships of the Shanghai and Ningbo Shipping Divisions, the scope of suspicion was also narrowed, but the real situation naturally had to be investigated on the spot.

"Master, it's the first time you've come to our Moon Picking Tower, right? Don't know what to call it? Do you have a girl you like? The old bustard, dressed in fancy clothes, greeted the guests at the door and asked very enthusiastically.

She has already cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, and knows that the person who comes must have a certain amount of spending power.

Although Song Cheng's skin is very dark and he is older, he is better than others. The entourage that was especially entourage looked very white, and it was natural to have such a delicate entourage from an extraordinary background.

"My son's surname is Song, and it is indeed the first time I have come, I don't know who is the top card of your Moon Tower?" Song Cheng took up the style of his son, but he was straight to the point.

Although the old bustard glanced at Song Cheng, he was well versed in the way of management: "Song Gongzi, the most beautiful girl in our Yuelou is naturally Miss Sisi, but Miss Sisi was chartered today, I will introduce you to another girl to ensure that you are satisfied!" ”

"My son wants her!" Song Cheng's face sank, and he immediately put on the stand of an arrogant boy.

Wang Yu noticed that Song Cheng gave him a look, and although he felt a little sorry for his silver, he still took out a silver ingot and threw it directly to the old bustard.

The old bustard stretched out his hand and neatly took the silver taels thrown over, but he smiled unmoved and said: "Song Gongzi, this is not a matter of silver, Miss Chen Sisi really can't leave!" ”

"Who is she with now?" Song Cheng pretended to be dissatisfied, but asked instead.

The old bustard looked at no one around, and finally chose to whisper: "Song Gongzi, the person who hired Miss Chen Sisi today is Hou Gongzi!" ”

"Hou? Hou Haotian, the son of Hou Zhan, the left waiter of Nanjing's household? When Song Cheng heard this surname, he immediately began to think.

The old bustard couldn't help but glance at Song Cheng, and nodded busily: "Song Gongzi is really from everyone, and it is the Hou Gongzi of the Hou family of the left servant of the Nanjing Household Department!" ”

It was at this moment that a sudden argument broke out on the second floor, followed by the sound of tables and chairs toppling over.

After all, Fengyue is a male place, and it is not uncommon to be jealous, and many sons and sons often complain about girls here.

The old bustard turned pale with fright, and wanted to take someone up to check the situation, but just after reaching the staircase, a frail young man and a fierce-looking boy rolled down the stairs from above.

After seeing the two sons scuffling together, he immediately stepped forward and asked in a panic: "Cheng Gongzi, Su Gongzi, ...... What do you have to say? ”

A woman in a green dress followed down, crying with a beautiful face.

"Liu Qing, what's going on?"

"Cheng Gongzi just broke in and said...... Said something unpleasant! ”

The girl who was called Liu Qing pointed to Cheng Gongzi, who was full of alcohol, and looked reserved.

"Su Quai, did you give you face today? Is there less urine to drink in a private school? Phew! Cheng Xin sat on the body of the frail boy, and slapped him hard by relying on the advantage of his body.

Although the frail son Ge Su was sick and couldn't struggle, he still said resentfully: "You can't die well!" You dare to arrange my sister, you Cheng family should be punished! ”

"Shinong Industry and Commerce, you are a waste who can't even get a fame, Lao Tzu will ride on your head for the rest of your life!" Cheng Xin's anger was ignited, and he immediately picked up his strong fist and smashed it towards Su Quai's face.

Yes!

Liu Qing was so frightened that she covered her face when she saw that her intended person was being bullied like this.

It's just that Cheng Xin's fist didn't fall, but it had been firmly grasped by someone and couldn't move a bit.

Wang Yu still chose to make a move, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and now he has been on an errand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, and one person can beat ten arrogant sons like Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin turned his head to look at the person who stopped him, but said viciously: "Let go!" Do you know who I am? ”

"No matter who you are, you dare to commit murder in broad daylight, is there still a royal law in your eyes?" Although Wang Yu had long heard of the arrogance of the official eunuchs in Jiangnan, he did not expect to be so unscrupulous.

Cheng Xin felt the righteousness in Wang Yu's body, but said very disdainfully: "What a joke!" In the entire city of Suzhou, who dares to take care of this son? ”

"Cheng Gongzi, please give some thin noodles to the Yueyuelou, don't make trouble in the Yueyuelou!" When the steward of the Moon Picking Tower heard the news, he dissuaded him very seriously.

Naturally, he didn't want to stand in line with Su Quai, but he had to maintain a good image of Yuelou, but he couldn't let a thug like Cheng Xin really run rampant here.

If it was Cheng Xin in the past, they might have to deal with it more tactfully, but the current Cheng family is actually not what it used to be.

Originally, Cheng Minzheng was a minister who could enter the cabinet, but because of his son Cheng Yi's evil deeds, and now Cheng Minzheng has returned from dismissal, and the decline of the Cheng family is almost doomed.

As for Cheng Xin's hostility to Su Quai, this is a grudge between the two of them, but Cheng Xin can't solve it here in Jieyuelou, after all, they still have to open the door to do business.

Cheng Xin felt the steward's firm attitude, but he thought of the boss behind the Moon Picking Building: "Okay, you wait and see!" ”

Wang Yu saw that Cheng Xin was leaving, so he let go of Cheng Xin's wrist.

"Beware!"

Su Quzhi covered his already swollen face and wanted to get up, but suddenly exclaimed.

Cheng Xin made a gesture to leave, but turned around and threw a punch at the nosy Wang Yu, this punch was fast and ruthless, especially without the slightest warning.

Burst!

Just when Cheng Xin thought he had succeeded, one of Wang Yu's feet was already ready to kick out, directly kicking Cheng Xin's whole person out of a few feet away.

Although Cheng Xin is tall and sturdy in Brother Gongzi, for a person like Wang Yu who has practiced martial arts and experienced the battlefield, he is simply overwhelmed.

Cheng Xin fell to the ground heavily, and originally wanted to get up, but it was difficult to breathe in the position where he was kicked, and the whole person was so painful that he couldn't speak.

The person in charge stepped forward to check the situation and glanced at Wang Yu deeply.

It's just that he knows that he can't blame Wang Yu, but he asked Cheng Xin to send him out, and this Cheng Xin is actually not the first time that Cheng Xin has made trouble in Jieyue Tower.

Su Quzhi saw such a heroic Wang Yu, and his eyes were already like little stars: "Thank you brother Tai for helping, the contemptible Su is not sick, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"My surname is Wang!" Wang Yu wasn't sure if anyone knew about him, so he only revealed his surname.

Su Quzhi is very yearning for Wang Yu's martial arts, and he already has the intention of making friends: "Brother Wang, today is the east of the younger brother, please go upstairs!" ”

Even if he came here, he naturally wanted to find a woman, and he didn't have much else, but he did have a lot of money.

"Since Brother Su invited, it is better to be respectful!" Song Cheng found that Wang Yu was looking at him, so he smiled slightly.

The bustard also hoped that they would be harmonious, so they would often come together to consume, so he very enthusiastically led the two of them to another room on the second floor.

Su Quzhi seemed very enthusiastic, but Zhang Luo wanted to arrange a beauty for them to accompany him, but Song Cheng refused, and let everyone else withdraw.

Wang Yu suddenly looked at Song Cheng in confusion, isn't this Qinglou looking for a woman? But I don't know which one this Song Qingtian is going to sing again. It's just that as soon as Song Cheng opened his mouth, his jaw was about to fall.

"I'm the new governor Song Cheng!" Song Cheng faced Su Quai, who was also at a loss, but introduced himself.

Su Quzhi couldn't believe his eyes, and suddenly his eyes burst into excitement and said, "Huh? You are Song Qingtian, you are my idol! ”

"Would you like to run an errand for Your Majesty?" Song Cheng threw out another question.

Su Qu nodded hurriedly: "Naturally! ”

"You must know everything about the son-in-law in Suzhou City, I don't know who suddenly became generous?" Song Cheng knew that there was indeed a ready-made intelligence network in front of him, so he asked seriously.

"Wait!" Wang Yu interrupted suddenly.

"What?"

"You...... Are you too hasty, let's expose your identity like this? ”

"You don't know his identity, do you?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yu planned to use Su Quai, who had just been rescued by himself, and said vigilantly: "He? Could it be a member of Gangnam Firm? ”

"My sister is Concubine Jing! Due to being excluded, the Su family failed to join the Jiangnan business! Su Quzhi saw Wang Yu with a vigilant face, and he also blew up his identity.

It is said that he has a sister who is a concubine in the palace to support him, so he can naturally walk sideways, but the Su family said that a thousand ways and ten thousand are just the family of merchants.

Originally, their family had a little status in Suzhou City, but the gentry group in Jiangnan was very disgusted with the emperor, so they also excluded their Su family. As for the Jiangnan firm, they didn't consider their Su family at all. (End of chapter)
