Wang Shijing got up suddenly, ignored Qi Wei, and strode away.

The charcoal in the brazier burned red and burst, and the sparks lit up the darkness around them.

Qi Wei tilted her head, leaned back in her chair, and muttered: "Ruyu, do you think I'm too kind, Uncle Wang is so old and has such a short temper, he doesn't take me seriously at all, especially in recent years, Uncle Wang is handling all the big and small affairs in the gang."

He has always looked down on me, if it weren't for my father making a will to let me be the helper, I'm afraid he would be the one with the biggest chance. ”

In the dark, a maid dressed as a maid came out and said: "Miss, Elder Wang is too arrogant, you have endured enough, his son Wang Xiaohu, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and also lending usury, has made other people's families ruined, I heard the people below say that the surname Shen in Dongjiaomin Lane borrowed Wang Xiaohu's usury for gambling money, and he didn't pay it back, and he was directly chopped off a leg."

Pity the lady of his family, gentle and virtuous, and good-looking, but was sold into the Qinglou by Wang Xiaohu to pay off debts, like this kind of evil thing, Wang Xiaohu did not know how much, our Yiwu gang finally saved up the reputation is stinky! ”

It turns out that this Qi Wei is the descendant of Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese in Haimen, Taizhou, about 3,000 Japanese invaders landed and robbed, burned and looted, Qi Jiguang ordered his eldest son Qi Yin to lay an ambush in Xixiang, Qi Jiguang deceived and lured the Japanese to the upper boundary ridge.

Qi Jiguang's reputation among the Japanese is too great, and countless Japanese want to get rid of him as soon as possible, so the Japanese are plotting and chasing all the way to the Upper Realm Ridge.

Qi Yin was young and vigorous, and before all the pirates entered the encirclement, he raised troops to kill the enemy, causing some of them to escape.

After Qi Jiguang returned to the camp, he thought that Qi Yin had ordered the offense and delayed the military plane, and he could not be punished, and despite the pleas of his subordinates, he still engaged his eldest son Qi Yin in military law.

At that time, Qi Yin was married, had a wife, and his wife was pregnant.

After Qi Yin was killed, his son Qi Ying was born and raised in his hometown.

Later, Qi Jiguang was implicated in the Zhang Juzheng case, was dismissed and returned to his hometown, and soon died of illness in the township.

After Qi Jiguang's death, the Qi family army was leaderless, and later the Jizhou mutiny, the Qi family army existed in name only, and even the descendants with Qi Jiguang also suffered hardships.

Qi Ying was angry, and took a few generals to the north of Shenjing City, wanting to seek justice.

However, because of the discord between the emperor and Zhang Juzheng, no one in the court spoke up for Qi Ying, and in desperation, Qi Ying settled in Nancangmen Hutong in Dongcheng and founded the Yiwu Gang.

The imperial court has always turned a blind eye to the Yiwu Gang.

Everyone is grateful for Qi Shaobao's prestige, and they usually dare not provoke the Yiwu Gang, and the Yiwu Gang also uses the name of the Qi family army to develop and grow.

After Qi Ying died, only Qi Wei was left with a daughter.

With the support of several prestigious elders, Qi Wei succeeded to the position of the leader of the Yiwu Gang.

It's a pity that time has passed, and the Yiwu Gang has slowly deteriorated, and the quality of the gangs recruited is also uneven, and the Yiwu Gang has begun to develop into a land scoundrel.

Not only did they put up loan sharks, but they also had casinos and green buildings, and now the people of Dongcheng will secretly spit when they mention the Yiwu Gang.

Qi Wei has not been in the position of the gang leader for a few years, and she wants to change the status quo of the Yiwu Gang.

However, the radical faction led by Wang Shijing gradually occupied the mainstream of the Yiwu Gang.

Righteousness and loyalty can't be eaten, more and more people have taken refuge in Wang Shijing's faction, and Wang Shijing's son Wang Xiaohu is ruthless, and if he is disobedient, he will be excluded.

Qi Wei's situation is extremely difficult.

……

Shufang Street, Yuxiang Bookstore.

Zhu Chenggong has returned from the hospital, and Zhu Meili is taking care of him in the house.

After Shen Liang came back, he came to Zhu Chenggong's bed, took the medicine bowl from the attacker, and personally fed Zhu Chenggong with the medicine.

"Xiao Zhu, don't worry, we have to avenge you for this revenge, but it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, can you wait?" Shen Liang blew the spoon and said.

Zhu Chenggong's face was pale, his lips were purple, and the doctor said that fortunately he had eaten well these days, and he was young and solid, otherwise this kick would have killed Zhu Chenggong.

Zhu Chenggong was very sensible, struggling to sit up: "Second master, Xiao Zhu is useless, he failed to earn face for the second master." ”

Shen Liang comforted, "In that case, it would be very powerful if you could stand up, and give you a thumbs up." ”

Looking at Shen Liang's thumbs up, although Zhu Chenggong didn't understand what it meant to like, he also knew that Shen Liang was praising himself.

A flash of red appeared on his pale face.

Shen Liang put a silver ticket of 50 taels in his hand: "You take care of your injuries, and when you recover your body, I will take you out of the city to ride a horse." ”

Wealth is moving, and thousands of dollars buy horse bones.

Shen Liang's thousand words are not worth the 50 taels of silver.

In these years, a life can be bought for a few taels of silver or even a few buckets of millet, and if it is replaced by someone else, maybe Zhu Chenggong will be driven out and left to fend for himself.

"You have a good rest, let's not disturb Xiao Zhu to recuperate."

The main hall of the bookstore.

Shen Liang looked at Hua Zifang and said: "The book is printed normally, don't delay the progress, it is not spring yet, and the people are idle at home, so they just take the opportunity to sell more." ”

Hua Zifang asked: "But what if the people from the Yiwu Gang come over tomorrow to make trouble?" If they break something......"

Shen Liang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas." ”

Then he said to Jia Yun: "How is the Zhuangzi of Heiyun Village built? Just in time for the Chinese New Year, is the progress of the project stopped? I talked to the Yiwu Gang about a wine-making business, and I just used it to practice my skills. You ask Heiyun Village to build a few brewing pools first, and then buy some sake lees, koji, drinking utensils and other things needed for brewing, and take precautions. ”

As soon as Jia Yun heard that he was going to make wine, his motivation immediately came up, he had been in charge of the affairs of Heiyun Village, and he had long wanted to show his strength, who knew that Shen Liang started the bookstore first, and the affairs of Heiyun Village were directly put aside.

Jia Yun thought that the matter of Heiyun Village was going to be yellow, but he didn't expect that Shen Liang would now re-deliver this important task to him.

Although there is a lot of money to be made from selling books, it is still almost interesting compared to sake brewing.

After all, you can't read a book, but you can't drink wine.

From dignitaries to ordinary people, the wedding banquet should be drunk, the joy of housewarming should be drunk, and even the old people in the family died, and they had to set up a few tables in a serious manner.

Wine can be said to be one of the indispensable things in the daily life of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If you think about it with your ass, you know how much profit there is in it.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I will go to Heiyun Village tomorrow, Li Gui is staring at Heiyun Village these days, and no one should be lazy." ”

Shen Liang said: "Don't be afraid of being lazy, as long as you complete your work on time, they will sleep a lot every day, and I agree." ”

Return to Rongguo Mansion.

Shen Liang smelled a different smell, which seemed to be floral and powdery.

The aroma did not come from his room, but from the wing of the courtyard.

Shen Liang remembered that the wing room was specially used for bathing.

"There's a good show to watch."

Shen Liang walked over, he had been in the Great Zhou Dynasty for so long, and it was a hassle to take a bath, after all, there was no big bathhouse in this era, and if he wanted to take a bath, he could only boil hot water at home, and then add hot water to a special wooden barrel.

Bathing in winter is a big project, and it requires the cooperation of several servants and maids.

In winter, the bath water cools quickly, so you need to keep heating the water in the bucket.

In ancient times, the wooden barrel was heavy, and adding water was not something that ordinary maids could lift, so they had to let the little maid do it.

Jia Baoyu likes what kind of little girl, his yard is only allowed to girls to enter, so there is a joke that he and Musk Yue took a bath and made a room of water.

Shen Liang leaned over to the window and found that the window was not closed.

Come to think of it, there are only women in Shen Liang's yard, not to mention that you don't have to close the windows, and you don't even have to close the door.

Shen Liang leaned on the window and looked in, but saw a big wooden barrel in the room, steaming, a woman sitting in the barrel, and a woman sitting next to the barrel, adding firewood to the barrel.

Shen Liang couldn't take his eyes off it, it turned out that sitting in the barrel was his maid Musk Yue, and next to him was a little girl he was not very familiar with.

The skin of the musk moon is very white, it is the kind of white that glows with fluorescence, and in a later sentence, it is cold white skin.

Shen Liang's eyes didn't blink, and his breathing became heavy, just like an old ox ploughing ten acres of land.
