Chapter 13 Tie the iron chain around the waist to Jishui

Qizhou is located in the easternmost part of the entire land of China, adjacent to the East China Sea.

Jishui is located in the west of Qizhou, and its upstream begins at the confluence of the Naichun River, the Qing River and the Rin River, so there are many tributaries stretched out by the three major water systems around it, which can be called the main road of waterway transportation in Qizhou. Jishui City, located in the middle of the river, is naturally one of the largest cities in Qizhou, and there are countless traders who take the waterway from the western states every day, and there are countless merchants who leave Qizhou from here. Therefore, the city of Qizhou is also a place where the three religions and nine streams of dragons and snakes are mixed. As the first family in Qizhou, the He family naturally also has business here, and two of the seven major wharves in Jishui City are the territory of the He family.

He Lang was born in the He family, and he is the chief treasurer of the He family in Jishui City, and to put it bluntly, he is the person in charge of the entire Jishui. This position is not small, and the He family forces in the entire Jishui City are in charge of him. No matter where you go, you have to call him "Langye".

Now that he has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, why has the family worked all his life, and now he just wants to lie on the merit book and enjoy the blessings. However, a few days ago, he received a letter from the master's family that broke his peaceful life, and the letter mentioned that He Wenming, the sixth young master of the clan, was going to come here for training, which couldn't help but make the old man's originally stable heart tremble a few times.

People who have reached his position do not say that they know everything about the inside of the He family, but they also know a lot of news. He Liushao is not favored at home, and he seems to have made contributions to the family half a year ago, but it still can't change the fact that he is not favored.

The young master who is not favored by the big family has always been sent outside, firstly, to prevent him from having an adventure and giving birth to the heart of seizing the throne; But it's not good news for He Lang, these six young masters are bound to have a situation of competing for rights when they come here to practice. Although he He Lang occupies the word "geographical advantage", even if he is no longer favored, he is the sixth young master of the direct line, the siblings of the future head of the family, and the mainstay of the He family decades later.

It is not that the He family has no precedent for presiding over one side of the clan when he has just turned fifteen or sixteen. The industry that Old Lady He was in charge of when he was young was this Jishui City, and at that time, the He family had just become a Tongtian family not long ago, and many places needed someone to open up the situation. It can be said that this Jishui City industry was created by Mrs. He alone.

He Zhenxing, the contemporary head of the family, was not in Jishui City when he was eighteen years old, but he also presided over other industries.

Now that there is a He Liushao, once he can't fight and loses power, he is small, and his son and son-in-law are all in the city, and he is afraid that he will be implicated. If they live in peace, they will make this old man who has worked hard for half his life in the clan unwilling.

Today is September 15, and I heard a report from my subordinates early in the morning: He Liushao will enter Jishui City today. So He Lang got up early in the morning and led many shopkeepers of the He family to wait for He Wenming at the door of the He family branch hall in Lotus Lane, Jishui City, He family.

No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can't give people a handle on your face. He Lang, who is an old man, still knows this.

After a while, I saw a young man in a blue brocade robe riding a white horse. The young man has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is also personable with a brocade BMW, but he looks a little nondescript with an iron chain hanging around his waist.

After getting off the horse, He Wenming first bowed his hand to the shopkeepers who greeted him: "Civilization is the last to learn, how dare you bother your predecessors to wait here." It's a civilized faux pas. ”

Everyone said they didn't dare.

He Lang smiled and said, "The Sixth Young Master is here, this is the family's trust in us. I also asked the sixth young master to follow me into the house to talk in detail. Then a group of people entered the He family branch.

In the branch hall, He Lang invited He Wenming to sit in the first place, and he sat in the second place, and introduced the shopkeepers present to him one by one.

After everyone got to know each other, they exchanged pleasantries for a while. At the end of the final conversation, He Wenming sent all the shopkeepers away on the grounds of their hard work. He Wenming sent them to the door of the branch hall as a sign of respect, and watched them leave.

This caught He Lang off guard, it stands to reason that it was almost noon at this time, and he could have taken the opportunity to get close to the shopkeepers again, but he sent them away in advance. Although He Wenming's hand was not rude, it also caught He Lang a little off guard.

Could it be that these six young masters still have any tricks that they can't guess?

After sending off the shopkeepers, and there were no outsiders around, He Wenming said to He Lang: "Uncle Lang, why don't you take me to the wing room first." ”

The head of the family, He Zhenxing, is only in his forties, only a few years younger than He Lang, so it is not too much to call Uncle Lang.

"Okay, then the sixth young master is here, please. ”

"You please. ”

When he came to the wing, He Wenming took a look at the environment, which was really good. The wing room is behind the lobby, and it is not an east-west guest room for He Wenming, but a main room facing north and south. After all, He Lang himself has a residence in the city, and he usually only comes here to work, and never stays overnight.

When he entered the house, it was spotless, all kinds of living items were also new, and there was a faint smell of smoke in the house, which was specially packed for his arrival.

He Wenming was very satisfied with this environment and said, "Thank you Uncle Lang." I came here for one thing, and I asked Uncle Lang for help. ”

"Sixth Young Master, please speak. ”

"I've never taken care of the affairs of the clan, so it's naturally not good to interfere in the clan's business at will this time, so as not to cause chaos. But if you don't do anything, you can't seem to explain it to your father, so when I finally reported it, I hoped that Uncle Lang could help. ”

The meaning of this could not be more obvious, he He Wenming is here to play, and he doesn't want to do anything. When the time comes, don't be embarrassed for me, just say something nice when reporting to the family, don't care if the family believes it or not, just get by on face.

He Langxin said: No wonder I didn't have the heart to contact the local shopkeeper at all when I came here. As long as you don't fight with him for power, it's easy to say, so that the plans to deal with him in the future will be saved. After all, He Lang is also unwilling to make enemies with the future mainstay of the family.

He Lang's smiling face was about to bloom at this time: "Don't worry, nephew, this is what the clan uncle should do." When you return to the clan, they can arrange it properly for you, and the head of the family will not find fault with you. If there is any need here, even if you tell the clan uncle, the old man still has some face in this Jishui City. ”

This title suddenly changed from "young master" to "virtuous nephew".

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Lang. I think it's almost noon, why don't I put my luggage first, and then call me when the meal begins?"

"Then listen to the virtuous nephew. After He Lang finished speaking, he clapped his hands twice with a smile: "Ripples, stamens, why don't you come and settle down for the sixth young master." ”

At this time, I don't know where to walk out of the outer courtyard two good-looking girls, one in blue and the other in green.

He Wenming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Lang, this is too polite, I am used to it by myself." I didn't bring much to brought, so I just cleaned up by myself, and the two girls had to rest separately. ”

When he He Wenming was at home, there was a servant spy by his side, after all, he was the second lady's person, and He Wenming had never been excessively invoked. Now that someone wants to serve him, it's really a little unaccustomed.

He Lang only said that He Wenming was unwilling to let outsiders rummage his luggage, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, then let them wait in the courtyard." The old man asked his subordinates to inform the kitchen to open the stove, and when the time comes, we will have a good chatter. ”

"Okay, good, hard work Uncle Lang. ”

After Uncle Lang left, the second daughter was also sent away by He Wenming, and He Wenming lay alone in the room feeling the unrestrained and comfortable atmosphere. The lunch after that was also a joy for both the guests and the hosts, and the two of them chatted very commonly.

During the banquet, He Lang not only introduced the customs and scenic spots of Jishui, but also told He Wenming about the distribution of large and small forces in the city. He Wenming reciprocated the favor, and patted the big shopkeeper's sycophants without a trace during the banquet, what father often said that Uncle He Lang was the pillar of the clan, and sitting in Jishui could reassure the family.

Perhaps under the dual effect of good words and good wine, the old shopkeeper's face was already printed with two thick red glows, and he burped and said: "Virtuous nephew, it's not the old man who brags." Jishui City is here...... I dare say that if someone else comes, no one will be better than me. ”

He Wenming nodded yes.

"Let me tell you, this Jishui is the waterway gateway to the western states, and nearly half of my family's business has to go from here every year, which is really sloppy. ”

"Every ...... Belch...... Every few years, the old lady would come here to inspect it in person, and every time she came, she would praise me for doing a good job. Look at the entire He family, who still has this kind of treatment in Jishui City. ”

He Wenming still nodded yes.

But there was a lot of confusion in my heart: the old lady was one of the three masters of the He family's own mountains and seas, and she was responsible for presiding over the big array at home, so why did she pay so much attention to Ji Shuicheng when she rarely went out.

He Lang's worries were gone, seeing how He Wenming looked comfortable, he pulled him to drink from noon to night.

It was late at night.

After drinking for an afternoon and half a night, He Wenming was dizzy and walked towards his new home. When he arrived at the door of his house, he found that the light inside was lit, and He Wenming didn't think much about pushing the door and entered, and went straight to his bed.

But as soon as I entered the room, I was startled, and there were two beauties sitting next to my bed, which were the two maids of Ripple and Flower.

However, these two people only wore a layer of light veil on their bodies, and their delicate bodies were unobstructed, and the mystery loomed under the light and light veil. Originally, the clothes of the two were hung aside, looking like they were picking up.

If you are a fool, you will know what this means, and He Wenming has only seen this scene in his previous life in a classmate's love movie.

After all, he was an untrained teenager, He Wenming swallowed his saliva and asked knowingly, "Why are these two girls?"

"The two of us just want to serve my son and go to bed. "The voice is so crisp that it almost burns off all the bones.

He Wenming blew out the lights with a big stride, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, and the second maid also felt more joy in her heart when she saw this scene. Which maid has not dreamed of becoming a young grandmother, even if she can't be a big lady in the future, even if she is a concubine, it will be many times better than now.

But the next moment, the second daughter found that the situation was not what they thought. I only listened to the footsteps after the lights went out, not to the house, but to the outside. Then the door opened, and on the evening of the fifteenth day the moon was bright, and by the light of the bright moon I saw the young man running out in a puff of smoke.

While running, he said without looking back: "This house is given to the two girls tonight, and I will go to sleep in the side room." "It's as if there was some kind of flood beast in this house.

The young man's actions caught the second daughter off guard, and she sat on the bed in a daze and didn't know what to do.

Following.

The young man came out of the side room and saw that the second daughter had just come out of the house. It seems that she didn't sleep well last night, and the second daughter's better face is also a little haggard. He Wenming smiled and nodded to the two, and regardless of the resentful gaze of the second daughter, he walked out of the hall and started his own fun trip.

A nondescript young man holding candied fruit, wearing brocade clothes, and chains around his waist was freshly baked on the streets of Jishui City.

The three religions and nine streams of Jishui City converge, and the water is very deep. The second family of Qizhou, Quxing Zhangjia, Tianya Laodang, Wanbaolou, Donghai Gang, Jinkai Villa and so on have strongholds here.

Wanbaolou and Tianya Laodang are both one of the three mysterious forces, Tianya Laodang is responsible for buying and selling news, while Wanbaolou is purely buying and selling items. The Donghai Gang and Jinkai Villa are one of the eight factions in the world, and they are all great forces with a Tongtian-level master sitting in each position.

There are still so many big forces, not to mention some small fish and shrimp.

He Wenming's style is that he does not cause trouble but is not afraid of it. The He family is also the biggest snake in Qizhou, although they can't be as unscrupulous as in Yanyun City, but as long as they act reasonably, they are not afraid of anyone.

Suddenly, the iron chain hanging from his waist shook inadvertently, making a crisp sound.

At this time, He Wenming stopped, his expression became solemn, and he began to carefully look at everyone around him.

If the chain reacts like this, there will be evil spirits around you!
