Chapter 119, I hope I came in time
After listening to Shen Qi's narration, Xu actually fell into silence for a while.
Since Emperor Wanzhen ascended the throne, there have been many opportunities, so that the north and the south, as the largest economic sources, have not had time to deal with it.
There is a Changpeng Liu in the south, although there is no one in the north, but now the situation of the Chu family's Yiyantang is not so easy to subdue.
After all, everything in the north is based on strength.
The Chu family has been able to be in the north for many years, and that ability is obvious to almost the entire north.
If Shen Qi didn't have this ability, even Xu Jing would not agree to let the Northern Chamber of Commerce have unified jurisdiction.
Because at least now the Chamber of Commerce and the imperial court are in a state of balance, and all aspects of operation are very smooth, focusing on the word "stability".
If there is a sudden change, Xu is not sure whether Shen Qi has the ability and responsibility to do this well.
Xu Jing's concerns, Shen Qi understood.
He is responsible for the whole of the north and for the stability of the north.
She didn't expect Xu to be able to convince people in just a few words.
The purpose of her coming this time is to put the gold flowers out to prepare for the follow-up.
But Xu was unwilling to wade into this troubled water.
"Since His Highness wants the strength to take the north, why do you want me to make a move?" Xu actually said his words like this, "Your Highness still needs to do something convincing." ”
Shen Qi frowned.
This is clearly not recognized.
"The mall is not a place for His Highness's children to play."
"Jokes?" Shen Qi couldn't help it, "You know my ......"
"Let's fight again, then." Tang Zongjiu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Shen Qi's words.
Xu Jing was stunned.
His tall frame jerked to his feet.
"Hit it, fight it, really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Half a column of incense after that.
"Your Highness, as long as you command, the lower officials will definitely get things done."
Shen Qi couldn't help laughing.
"Don't be in such a hurry, when I say release people, you will release people again."
Xu Jing nodded in understanding.
Jin Fanhua's cell was located in a dark corner deep in the yamen.
The cell door is made up of several thick iron bars, which have rusted and become mottled over time.
The iron lock on the door was even more rusty, as if it would crumble into powder at the slightest touch, and every time the cell door was slammed shut, there was a piercing sound of metal slamming down, which made people shudder.
The light inside the cell was very faint, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the cracks in the roof, but it was also obscured by dust and cobwebs.
These faint rays of light form pillars of light in the cell, illuminating the dust in the air and the flying mosquitoes, but not the darkness in the corners.
There was an indescribable smell in the air, a mixture of dampness, mildew, and rancidity, as if it could penetrate human skin and penetrate deep into the bone marrow.
Jin Fanhua has been in such a prison for seven days.
She also clasped rusty iron locks made of heavy iron bars, as if announcing her inescapable fate.
She was originally well-dressed and well-fed, but now she has become depressed.
Peng Liangbin didn't torture her, he just hung her like this and waited for her to give in.
But from her still tough eyes, you can feel her strong will.
"Bang-la-" There was a noise from the cell door.
"Golden flowers! Someone visited the prison! The cell boss shouted at Jin Fanhua.
Jin Fanhua raised her eyes.
Before Tao Younian stepped into the prison door, he saw the heavy shackles on her wrists.
"Sister Jin!" Tao Younian shouted, he ran to Jin Fanhua in three or two steps, put the food box aside, and reached out to break the handcuffs.
The handcuffs were handcuffed on Jin Fanhua's hands for seven days, and the skin on Jin Fanhua's wrists was worn out, and the handcuffs bled as soon as she moved.
Tao Younian was too frightened to touch it, he turned to the cell head and said angrily: "How can you do this?!" ”
"Do you still want to visit the prison?!" The cell boss scolded, "If you talk nonsense, just get out, and get out of as much silver as you give!" ”
Tao Younian's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the cell head, and he turned around for a while.
He looked at Jin Fanhua anxiously.
"Sister Jin, how are you?"
Jin Fanhua shook her head: "It's okay." ”
Tao Younian has been by Jin Fanhua's side for many years, and he knows that she doesn't like the temperament of others who care too much about her.
So he didn't say much.
"Yingcaifang has been completely sealed." Tao has a year.
"Hmm. Anyway. ”
"I have found another way, and the other party said that Peng Liangbin is very persistent this time, and he speaks according to the law, and it seems that he is determined to lock you up." Tao Younian continued.
The Jin family has a big business, and Peng Liangbin is not the only one who deals with the government, Peng Liangbin used to make some convenience to the Jin family, but this time he was obviously determined to ask Jin Fanhua to bow his head, so his mouth was very tight, and other colleagues refused to let go no matter what they said.
"It can't be Jin Di, he doesn't have the ability." Jin Fanhua judged.
"You mean, there are people behind Jin Di and Peng Liangbin?" Tao Younian asked.
"If nothing else." Jin Fanhua thought for a moment, "It may be the Zheng family." ”
Of the five cotton producing areas in the north, the Chu family accounts for three, the Jin family occupies one Fengcheng, and the last one is Tancheng, where the Zheng family is located.
The Jin family and the Zheng family have always been rivals in the competition for the second place, and there have been various encounters throughout the year.
Jin Fanhua fell, and the Zheng family had vested interests, so it was hard not to be suspicious.
"Jin Di, this traitor!"
Tao Younian never questioned Jin Fanhua's words, she said yes, then the truth is inseparable.
After all, the Jin family can get through the official road, and so can the Zheng family.
"Sister Jin, Feng Zi'an and the others have a resolute attitude, saying that they will only cooperate with you." Tao has a year.
Feng Zi'an is a few boys who use the second floor of Yingcaifang as a rest place for parties all year round.
Each of them is a young owner of a garment shop in the north, and they have the real power to do business.
Jin Fanhua had a good friendship and relationship with them little by little, but it was not comparable to Jin Di, a halfway monk.
"Absolutely." Jin Fanhua bowed, "If someone wants to leave, you let them go, the trees are falling and scattered, and I also happened to count some people at this time, and by the way, I purified all the people around me." ”
"I see." Tao Younian said, he looked around and paused, "Sister Jin, what should I do after that?" ”
"After that?"
Jin Fanhua glanced at him.
"Wait."
"Wait?"
"Now the Jin family does not exist for me, and the way of the government can't get through, my subordinates must be very busy now, and then Feng Zi'an and them, see if they can continue the 'fate' with me in the face of Jin Di."
Jin Fanhua said calmly, as if all these things were not a big deal for her.
"Will it? If he finds a ...... surnamed Zheng," Tao Younian was a little worried.
"Then let him go to the one surnamed Zheng and see what leftovers the one surnamed Zheng will give him." Jin Fanamichi.
"I know, Sister Jin, don't worry about the outside world, I will try my best to keep some other industries." Tao Younian assured Jin Fanhua.
"Good work." Jin Fanhua bowed, "After this time, I will give you the position of deputy chief." ”
Tao Younian was silent, he stared at Jin Fanhua.
This woman, who is already an old girl in everyone's eyes, is so beautiful, charming and charming in Tao Younian's eyes.
He didn't care about what position he was at, he just wanted to follow Jin Fanhua and become her right-hand man.
But he didn't dare to say that Jin Fanhua had never disdained this kind of love between men and women, she was like a female monk who cultivated the Ruthless Dao, breaking off love.
"Thank you, Sister Jin." Tao has a year.
He opened the food box and took out the food that was still a little hot.
"Sister Jin, can I feed you something?" Tao Younian said cautiously.
He was afraid that Jin Fanhua would misunderstand that he had other thoughts, mainly because he really thought that Jin Fanhua had handcuffs on his hands.
Jin Fanhua's eyes stared at Tao Younian, as if he wanted to see through Tao Younian completely.
Tao Younian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"If you don't ......"
"Hey." Jin Fanamichi.
“…… Okay, I'...... Good! ”
Tao Younian got Jin Fanhua's approval, sat up straight, put the food box between his legs, held the bowl in one hand, grabbed the spoon in the other, and gently fed it into Jin Fanhua's mouth little by little.
Tao Younian brought Jin Fanhua's favorite preserved eggs and lean pork porridge and crab roe dumplings that he loved to eat in the past.
"Is it cold?" Tao Younian asked while feeding.
"Exactly." Jin Fanhua swallowed a mouthful of porridge, "You have a heart." ”
No matter how calm Jin Fanhua is, but the disaster of seven days in prison that was deliberately suppressed by others is not something that ordinary people can bear.
If you can eat some delicious food, Jin Fanhua will naturally not refuse.
Soon, the food brought by Tao Younian was finished.
"Sister Jin, then I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you in a few days." Tao has a year.
Jin Fanhua nodded: "Let's go." ”
So, every two days, Tao Younian would come to visit Jin Fanhua.
On the 10th day, Tao Younian left the prison after visiting Jin Fanhua as usual.
There is still a short distance from the prison to his residence.
In a small alley on the way, a group of people suddenly rushed out from both sides.
"Who are you?!" Tao Younian shouted.
No one answered his words at all, and they rushed straight towards Tao Younian, still holding sacks in their hands.
Tao Younian ran away when he saw this, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the person behind him who prevented him from escaping.
"Who are you?" Tao Younian shouted again.
Still no one answered.
This group of people approached Tao Younian little by little.
Tao Younian was caught in a sack.
This was followed by a punch and kick.
Tao Younian curled up on the ground, trying to protect his head and stomach.
The next second.
"Bang-" With a bang, a stick hit Tao Younian's back hard.
"Ah——!h
Tao Younian was beaten and shouted.
"Bang bang bang" There was a muffled sound of sticks smashing meat, and Tao Younian's back was broken.
In front are fists and kicks, and in the back are clubs.
There were even a few direct hits on the back of his head, and his fingers couldn't protect it at all.
I don't know how long it took, Tao Younian's eyes went black and fainted.
Tao Younian is not a man of his word.
The first time she didn't wait for someone to come, Jin Fanhua didn't think much about it, and after two more days, no one came, and her intuition told her that something had happened to Tao Younian.
She made a move.
Tao Younian has also brought a plaster for trauma in the past few days, and Jin Fanhua's wrist has not recovered as before, but at least it will not deteriorate again.
However, four days passed, and the wound that had been healed with great difficulty broke open again.
In some places, pus even began to flow.
Coupled with today's golden flowers, a piece of meat has been ground off.
It hurt so much that Jin Fanhua's teeth were chattering.
But she didn't show it.
"Someone! Come! Jin Fanhua shouted outside the cell door, but no one answered.
"Someone!" She called a few more people, but there was still no response.
After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell door.
Step by step is very slow.
Jin Fanhua's eyes flickered.
It's Peng Liangbin.
Sure enough, Peng Liangbin's triumphant figure appeared at the door of the cell.
Peng Liangbin glanced around Jin Fanhua's cell, and finally stopped at Jin Fanhua's down-and-out body.
"Ouch, how did you become like this?"
Peng Liangbin pretended to be surprised.
This kind of deliberate cheapness does not make Jin Fanhua compromise.
Her eyes staring at Peng Liangbin became more and more cold.
It's that look again!
Peng Liangbin's nose twitched a few times.
He didn't believe that he couldn't bring down this woman!
"It seems that Boss Jin is not ready." Peng Liangbin chuckled, and then turned around and left.
"Where is Tao Younian?" Jin Fanhua said.
Peng Liangbin stopped, he looked at Jin Fanhua: "Maybe he found another master?" ”
"Where is he?" Jin Fanhua asked again.
"Jin Fanhua, this official thinks that he has never neglected you, and now he is even more benevolent." Peng Liangbin's tone became cold, "Don't toast or eat and drink." ”
It seems that Peng Liangbin will not tell her any news about Tao Younian.
Jin Fanhua can not care about her own affairs, but she is a person who values affection.
No matter what Tao Younian thinks about her, she has always regarded Tao Younian as her own.
Since he is his own person, Jin Fanhua doesn't want Tao Younian to have an accident.
If it were usual, such a thing would simply not have happened.
But now she herself is behind bars, and there is no news from the outside world.
Jin Fanhua's eyes gradually became cold.
"Why do you think you are doing this? As long as you are obedient and obedient, Tao Younian will naturally be fine, and your Yingcai Fang and other industries will also be smooth. ”
Peng Liangbin suddenly changed his tone and said bitterly.
"As long as you nod your head, everything will be solved."
The air fell silent all at once.
Just when Peng Liangbin thought that Jin Fanhua was starting to loosen, he heard her say in a cold tone.
"Get out."
Peng Liangbin choked, shook his sleeves, and left angrily.
"I don't know what to do!"
The aftermath lingered in Jin Fanhua's cell, and when it dispersed, everything fell silent.
And ten more days passed.
Tao Younian still did not appear.
Jin Di didn't come to her because she ran into a wall.
No one came to visit her, and she gradually lost her connection to the world.
On this day, Peng Liangbin came to the cell again to "visit" Jin Fanhua.
"How? Boss Kim? Have you figured it out? ”
Peng Liangbin condescendingly faced Jin Fanhuadao.
Jin Fanhua was silent.
"I heard that Tao Younian is crippled." Peng Liangbin said with a smile, "Your fox friends have also broken off their relationship with you one by one." ”
Jin Fanhua shrank in pain!
Tao Younian really had an accident!
"Let me out." Jin Fanhua gritted her teeth.
"As long as you nod your head and are willing to be my aunt's wife, I will naturally let you out." Peng Liangbin said with a smile.
Twenty days later, Jin Fanhua finally said that she was going out.
As long as she wants to go out, there is something to talk about.
"Peng Liangbin, you'll regret it." Jin Fanhua died.
"Regrets?" Peng Liangbin suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha, I got your boss Jin, and I only have to be envied, why do you regret it?" ”
Jin Fanhua gritted her teeth and didn't let go.
Seeing her like this, Peng Liangbin was in a very happy mood.
He felt that he was about to achieve his goal, and naturally it was impossible to regret it even a little.
"Boss Jin, I'll give you one last chance, you ......"
Before the words fell, a headhunter hurriedly ran from outside.
"Your Excellency!" The headcatcher shouted.
"What are you doing in a panic?" Peng Liangbin scolded.
"My lord," the head catcher walked to Peng Liangbin's side, bowed slightly, and said a few words into Peng Liangbin's ear.
Peng Liangbin was stunned.
After a while, he said with a hint of incredulity: "Really? ”
"It's true!" The headcatcher said, "You better go quickly!" ”
Peng Liangbin glanced at Jin Fanhua, who had been silent and his face was gradually beginning to decay.
Soon he withdrew his gaze and followed the catcher away.
As the sun set in the west, the cell was plunged into darkness when the last rays of sunlight dissipated.
The weather is starting to get hot, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the cell are also becoming active.
Jin Fanhua is dirty and ugly, and it is the favorite taste of insects.
Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and no matter how big the Jin family's family business was, it could not compare to Peng Liangbin's letter of sin.
She can't get out, and naturally her people can't get in.
She has been in the business world for more than ten years, and she has a lot of talented people under her hands, even if she is not in charge, she can keep a large part of the Jin family's other industries that belong to her, which she is not worried about.
It's just that now Tao Younian has an accident, Feng Shao's customers don't know what's going on, the Jin family's industry is completely out of her control, and there is the Zheng family eyeing her.
Jin Fanhua laughed to herself in the dark shadows.
In the next second, a crisp and soft voice that was incompatible with everything here appeared in the entire cell.
"I can still laugh out loud in such a predicament, and I deserve to be Boss Jin."
Hearing this, Jin Fanhua opened her eyes suddenly!
Shen Qi's outstanding figure, which is difficult to forget at a glance, appeared in Jin Fanhua's eyes.
After nearly a month in prison, except for Tao Younian, it was Shen Qi, a foreigner, who came to save her.
"Why don't you release them soon?" Shen Qi said to the cell boss on the side.
The cell boss didn't dare to offend Shen Qi, and immediately stepped forward to untie Jin Fanhua's handcuffs.
At this point, her wrist could almost see the bones.
Seeing this scene, Shen Qi couldn't help but feel pain.
She stepped forward to help Jin Fanhua, but Jin Fanhua leaned against the wall of the cell and supported herself little by little with her arms.
"Thank you." Jin Fanhua was very weak, and her words were vain.
"Hopefully I'll be here just in time."
After speaking, Shen Qi still walked up to Jin Fanhua and held her up.
Jin Fanhua's whole body was dirty and smelly at this time, and Shen Qi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there was even a faint fragrance on his body.
"No need." Jin Fanhua refused again.
"I don't mind, what do you mind?" Shen Qi insisted.
By the time Jin Fanhua wanted to refuse for the third time, Shen Qi had already completely put his arm on her and held her waist.
The two of them slowly walked out of the cell.
