"What does Master Shen want to say?" Her tone was lukewarm.

"I said that the Ye family's business was losing money this year, and they couldn't get a lot of gold and silver, so they could only donate some cloth and silk silk at a lower level. Look down on the cloth business or look down on my Ye family? Laughing at whom. ”

Shen Li was scolded in person, but he was not angry, "Don't talk about business losses, don't lose money, just talk about appearance." Who made Little Lady Ye look like a fugitive. There's no one to blame for that. He casually folded up the arrest document and put it in his sleeve, and his tone sounded like casual chatter during the banquet.

"If I hadn't known the whereabouts of the little lady Ye in those days...... If you just look at this arrest warrant, you will have some bad conjectures in your heart, right? ”

He had something to say, and immediately a few businessmen who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement started to coax, and asked Shen Li to make it clear, in the days when the nobles of Jiangning Mansion were coaxed by someone to set up a bureau, where was the whereabouts of Ye Xiaoniang?

Shen Li's fox eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Ye Fuliu, and smiled without saying a word.

As the saying goes, catch a thief and catch a stolen took.

The two hundred and thirty Han bricks that were stolen were buried in the ground somewhere in the Ye family's house at this moment.

The one who offered a heavy reward for the prince of Jiangning Qi was not the little lady of the Ye family, she knew very well in her heart.

Such a big handle was in his hand, and in front of everyone, he didn't believe that she Ye Fuliu dared to resist him. Aren't you afraid that he will really denounce her and go to prison? The delicate little lady is in prison, what else can she do? What's so bad about being his Shen family's wife?

She was soft, and he vouched for her in public, which was a matter of one sentence.

Ye Fuliu also smiled.

"Business is not benevolent, Shen Da is in charge. My business with you is yellow, and you just talk nonsense when you open your mouth, but you don't have to. ”

She didn't touch the wine and drinks sent by the Shen family, and in front of her was the lychee paste drink made by the Ye family themselves.

Ye Fuliu took a sip of cold lychee paste, raised his voice and said to everyone present,

"The Ye family has only done a few deals with the Shen family, and I am not familiar with the Shen family to the extent that we can deliver news to each other. The Ye family's cargo ship takes the waterway, and the Shen family's caravan takes the land route, can your Shen family know my whereabouts? How do you know my whereabouts? Sent spies to keep an eye on it? ”

The banquet burst into laughter again. Many eyes swept back and forth between the two of them with inexplicable meaning.

Shen Li's face changed slightly, and his tone said with three points of warning, "Little lady Ye, you have a temperament, I don't know what you're talking about." You go out every once in a while to do business, and you stay on the ship for three or five days without going off land. The Jiangning Fu case occurred in late April. You weren't at the Ye family for those days. Where did you go, what did you do, who else here can vouch for you, besides me, Shen Li? ”

Ye Fuliu directly smashed half a cup of ice drink on him, got up and said, "Get out of yours!"

Half of Shen Li's clothes were drenched, she was embarrassed, her face was extremely ugly, and she stared at Ye Fuliu without speaking.

A few businessmen who were familiar with each other on both sides hurriedly came up next to him to persuade peace, but Ye Fuliu ignored them and shouted to Su Qiu to come out:

"Bring pen and paper! Write down my Ye Siniang's appearance and life on a piece of paper, send it to Jiangning Mansion overnight, find a way to submit it to it, and tell the government not to have to offer rewards everywhere to arrest people, but to come directly to Ye's house in Wukou Town to find me and see if I am a fugitive from the arrest warrant! ”

The words are too desperate, but it seems that Shen Lizhi has nothing to do in front of him. Su Qiu confirmed with his eyes, went to get a pen and paper, and began to write his physiognomy and life on the spot according to Ye Fuliu's dictation.

The merchants present couldn't sit still, and they all turned around to persuade Shen Li to admit his mistake in person.

Shen Li wiped the juice dripping from his body and said coldly, "You really want to do something absolutely bad?" ”

Ye Fuliu must not only do his best work, but also do it in public and with great fanfare.

Su Qiu stroked one stroke at a time, according to the dictation of his little lady, and wrote down his life on the spot.

"The Ye family of Wukou Town, Jiangxian County, operates cloth and silk for a living. Ye's fourth mother, who has been in charge for more than three years, has a business all over the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, with 25 cloth villages, 40 merchant ships, and more than 700 shopkeepers. ”

Ye Fuliu continued to dictate, "Ye Siniang's appearance, melon seed face, round apricot eyes, six feet two inches tall, ancestral home of Qiantang in Wudi, ......"

"Alright, alright." A few familiar businessmen hurriedly came over to play a round, "The little lady who has not yet left the cabinet, why should she report her height and origin to everyone in public." Oh, Shen Da is in charge, you like the fourth mother of the Ye family, and the big family can see it with eyes, but the falling flowers are affectionate, and the flowing water is unintentional, why do you deliberately embarrass others......"

While counting the falls, he grabbed the paper that recorded his life and appearance, tore it up on the spot, and the shredded paper was scattered all over the ground.

Shen Li sat close, his body stained with a lot of scraps of paper, and he endured his anger and brushed them away one by one. When he raised his eyes, he found that Ye Fuliu was still standing in place, the corners of his beautiful mouth were upturned, and he looked like he was smiling.

Shen Li is at most noisy to this extent. Only barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and Shen Li himself is the one who wears shoes. If he drags it down and involves two people to inspect the goods on the ship, can he run away by himself? Ye Fuliu was sure that he didn't dare to do it.

She lifted her chin and squinted at the embarrassed appearance on the other side, her eyes were full of provocation and indescribable pride.

Shen Li's chest thumped violently.

The people around him were noisy and chaotic, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking now, but he suddenly felt that what was all the obsession he had had in front of him—to subdue her petty nature, to make her know how to back down, and to be willing to bow to herself—what were they?

Since he first met the little lady of the Ye family, she has such a temperament. At first, he just wanted to take her home to be a wife, and to press the bright and tricky little lady into the tent. Later, why did she have to be pressed in all aspects?

Shen Li seemed to be empowered, and was sobered up by a cold drink in front of him. He wiped off the marks on his body, got up and made a long confession to everyone present.

"Today, Shen's actions were improper, and he criticized Ye Xiaoniang with the intention of drinking, and disturbed the banquet Yaxing, which was Shen's fault. As for Ye Xiaoniang's place, Shen will come to the door in person another day, and bear the guilt of Jing pleading——"

Before the words landed, Ye Fuliu had already cut the railroad categorically, "The Ye family doesn't accept it!" ”

At the same time, another quiet voice came from the direction of the neighbor Wei's house, which was separated by a wall:

"In the days of late April, where did Ye Xiaoniang go and what she did, Wei can be a guarantor."

The person should be standing under the courtyard wall next door, not far away, and everyone on the Ye family's side of the banquet can clearly hear it.

The crowd exploded.

Zuo Bao came unexpectedly, Ye Fuliu's eyes widened, and Shen Li, who was about to leave, did not leave.

A merchant said in a loud voice, "It's Wei Jialangjun who is talking next door?" Let's talk about it in detail. ”

Wei Huan stood under the courtyard wall next door, his words were calm, and he said it slowly.

"Wei's serious illness has not been cured for a long time, and many Langzhong have been found at home, and the medicine stone is useless. In late April, Wei learned that the Ye family was a local businessman and was familiar with Jiangnan personnel, so he took a piece of gold cake as a reward and implored Ye Xiaoniang to find a good doctor on his behalf. ”

Mrs. Ye received the gold cake and traveled at the end of April to find a suitable famous doctor in the Jiangnan area. First invite Qi Laolangzhong from the next county town, and then invite the local Lin Langzhong. ”

"When seeking medical treatment, the neighbors can be witnesses, and the golden cake can be physical evidence. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Ye family to take out the golden cake on the spot and display it. ”

The quiet and gentle voice, slowly speaking, was justified and well-founded, and people were convinced from the bottom of their hearts, and the merchants talked about it one after another.

"I see."

"I didn't tell the whereabouts of Little Lady Ye for a long time. Now there is finally a person who understands and solves the doubts in everyone's hearts......"

Ye Fuliu glanced at it, and Su Qiu trotted back to the inner house, and sure enough, he took out a piece of yellow gold cake and showed it to everyone on the spot. The merchants were amazed.

"I heard that the Wei family was rich and arrogant, and they had a lot of gold cakes. The rumors turned out to be true. ”

"This golden cake is exactly the same as the golden cake that Lin Dalang pressed in the casino, and there is no doubt that it is the Wei family."

"It turned out that at the end of April, Mrs. Ye went out of town to find a man for the Wei family. Hey, the reward for a piece of gold cake, if you give it to me, I'll leave immediately. ”

The human and material evidence is complete, and everyone present has no doubts. The Wei family explained the ins and outs clearly, and they didn't open their mouths again, so they quieted down.

Today we were full of wine and food, and all the things that should be discussed were almost discussed, and the merchants of all trades took their leave in a noisy.

Ye Fuliu politely sent people away and paid the wages of the short-term workers. Today, when the front yard was in chaos, the dishonest man who grabbed the probe and probed his brain met and beat up three ladies, and the Ye family gave double the hard-earned money and closed the door.

When Ye Fuliu walked back, the wall shouted, "Wei Langjun! ”

On the other side of the courtyard wall, he replied, "I'm here." What's the matter? ”

Ye Fuliu pursed his lips and smiled.

"Wei Sanlangjun, real people don't show up, you are very powerful."

is worthy of being a peer who does not have a business, just like her, she makes it up when she opens her mouth, just like the real thing.

If it weren't for the fact that she had just stacked more than 200 Han bricks neatly into the Bingjian box last night, she almost thought that she had received the gold cake payment, and at the end of April, she would have gone to find Langzhong.

Wei Huan stood under the eight-foot-high wall. He was tall, and when he looked up, he could go over the courtyard wall and see the green tiles on the courtyard wall of the Ye family opposite.

The voice of the little lady of the Ye family was clear, and the person should be standing under the opposite wall. It's just that it's exquisite, and the person is blocked by the wall.

Wei Huan also smiled slightly.

"It's just the icing on the cake. Ye Xiaoniang is amazing. One move is to retreat as advance, put the place of death and then live, and retreat with the whole body, which is used wonderfully. ”

"Where is it...... Ye Fuliu casually said a few modest sentences, and suddenly felt a little wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Wait, Wei Langjun, what do you mean by 'retreating with your whole body', 'putting yourself in the place of death and then living'?" ”

Wei Huan groaned: "That arrest warrant, isn't it ......?"

"It doesn't matter." Ye Fuliu categorically said, "Don't listen to rumors. ”

"Hmm......"

Both sides were silent at the same time. The next moment, the topic was diverted at the same time with a very tacit understanding.

Chapter 26

The local merchants made a commotion and came to the door to discuss, and it was not without results.

The Shen family took the lead in raising donations of 1,000 taels of silver and 100 horses of silk. Four or five large merchants will be reduced by one level of fundraising, and more than a dozen small merchants will be reduced by two levels of fundraising.

As for whether the Ye family was a big businessman or a small businessman, they broke up in the middle of the discussion, and in the end there was no way to say anything.

Several merchants who were friends with both sides of the Shen family and the Ye family came to the door to make peace, and in the end, the Ye family collected donations according to the share of the big merchants minus one class, but all the silver raised was converted into cloth and registered at the market price. Ye Fuliu counted the cloth stocks piled up in the warehouse and agreed.

A businessman who was most familiar with the Ye family quietly stuffed the official document of the Zhang Guanfu before leaving, and it was the arrest warrant issued by the Jiangning Mansion.

"It took some means to copy the sample of the acquaintances of the county government. You see, although it doesn't look like you, the silhouette does look like a five-point, doesn't it? ”

The acquaintance of the merchant surnamed Xu, sighed and said, "We all know that it can't be you who is wanted, but look at the reward, five hundred taels of silver for nothing!" Yesterday, there were hundreds of people here, who knows if there is anyone who is obsessed with money, and really went to Jiangning Mansion to find a noble person to inform? Will the prince of the kingdom who was jumped by the immortal lock you to Jiangning Mansion to inquire? A few of us have discussed it in private, and we are worried that something will happen to you this time. “

Ye Fuliu said firmly, "Don't worry about Dangjia Xu, nothing will happen." The Qi Shizi from the Xinguo Mansion is not in Jiangning. ”

"You know again?" Xu Dangjia glared, "I know that you have always been bold. But if you are too bold, it is easy to capsize. ”

Ye Fuliu didn't argue much, got up with a smile, and sent the people away.

Su Qiu had felt that something was not quite right since yesterday, and today she listened to another one, and the more she listened, the more familiar it became.

"Jiangning Xinguo Mansion, Qi Shizi." She muttered, "Lady, tell me I heard it wrong." The cousin of the Wei family who was beaten out of the door by the Wei family next door two days ago said that the 'Qi' surnamed 'Qilianshan'...... Could it be too, Lang Jun of the Jiangning Xinguo Mansion? ”

"Of course he is." Ye Fuliu walked to the inner courtyard and said, "Didn't Wei Da say it, the family affairs are clean and do not touch their hands, and they are pampered and pampered. ”

Su Qiu had heard Wei Da announce his name a few days ago, but it was not until today that he completely turned the corner and connected the young man he had met several times with the legendary powerful Jiangning Mansion magnates, and was shocked.

Seeing that the cousin of the Wei family was disgraced every time, Wei Da was unceremonious to him, and beat him with a stick...... It's an amazing nobleman?! ”

Ye Fuliu: "I have a good background and a good baby." ”

Su Qiu pondered for a moment, then took a copy of the arrest warrant and looked at the text carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became: "Lady, look, the noble person who issued this reward arrest warrant is Qi Shizi of the Xinguo Mansion in Jiangning...... and the cousin of the Wei family next door, they are clan brothers! ”

Ye Fuliu: "Actually, maybe it's not a brother?" ”

Su Qiu's thoughts had already been torn to the horizon, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, "The Wei family next door even dares to fight Xiao Langjun, the descendant of the Guogong Mansion, the Wei family...... What is the origin of the Wei family?! ”

This Ye Fuliu already had an answer, and said easily, "I told you before, the Wei family is definitely not a salt merchant. The cousin of the Wei family was beaten out of the door by the Wei family, and he didn't even dare to say a cruel word, why? ”
