Chapter 1: The Nest of the Dove

Raozhou once produced a prodigy named Zhu Tianci during the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and became an official because he was familiar with poetry and books since he was a child.

It is rumored that in order to 'force' children to study, some people use bamboo baskets to hang playful children from trees, and some children are not allowed to eat or sleep because they cannot pass the test.

(There is a piano prodigy Lang Lang in modern times, this is good, the piano waves up and down the country are extraordinarily enchanting, as long as their children are of the right age, they go to learn the piano, the family is well-off, they 'spend' more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to buy a piano for their children, and hire a tutor to 'force' their children to learn piano. Some parents are even more outrageous.

The story of the prodigy was told by Huang Ying to Da Kui. Da Kui was amazed after hearing it. The group arrived in Raozhou and settled at the Fuyuan Inn in Raozhou. Da Kui sent more than 20 people to visit around. Two spies who had been sent to Raozhou to meet with Da Kui at the inn and reported in detail what had been investigated.

Originally, all the salt eaten by the inland people was transported from all over the coast, because the salt was dried by natural seawater, and the cost was very low, but if the salt was transported to the interior to be sold, it was a profiteering business.

When the unscrupulous traders saw that there was violence to be gained, they had to take the risk of being killed and imprisoned, so they organized a 'private' chamber of commerce to transport sea salt to the mainland. This kind of sea salt was 'private' salt. Da Kui couldn't help frowning after listening to the spies' report on what he had discovered.

The foreign goods are all in the freight yard in the west of the city, where do you have to get to find out the truth and the truth, Da Kui ordered two spies to go to investigate again, and went back to the room alone.

As he was walking, Da Kui couldn't help but think of an idea, and when he saw Huang Ying, he whispered to Huang Ying, and Huang Ying said in surprise: "It seems that you, a second-class court official, went to be in the company of the people in the market. Da Kui actually had to go to the warehouse and other places to disguise himself as a coolie, which was a hard and tiring job.

Da Kui laughed and said, "If I hadn't used this method back then, how could I have married such a beautiful daughter-in-law as you." Huang Ying was full of joy when she heard it, but she was still reluctant to do it.

Da Kui comforted: "If you don't enter the tiger's 'den', you will get the tiger.Okay, okay.You can just do what I want.We can't live in the inn all the time.This upper house will cost a bunch of money a day.How can the coolies have the money to live in such a good place.You have to find a house to live in below to be decent."

Huang Ying smiled: "It doesn't make a difference where you live, but it hurts you."

Da Kui smiled: "It's okay.

Huang Ying had no choice but to obey Da Kui's arrangement, and at that moment Da Kui ordered someone to find a suitable house and prepare to move.

Coincidentally, there is a mansion located in the west of Raozhou, this mansion is the old mansion of a Beijing official, there are only a few subordinates in the house to guard the courtyard, the environment and so on are quite elegant and clean.

Huang Ying temporarily took refuge in the inn.The house had to be informed to the master's family.Da Kui ordered someone to visit the ins and outs of the Beijing official.His surname was Wu Mingshida.But he was in Beijing Wupinshang Lin Yuan Supervisor.Although the official position was not big.But the old mansion of the people was rented at will.Da Kui couldn't send someone to Yingtian with a letter and hurried to Yingtian.Tuo Tang He handled the matter.In the letter, Da Kui told Tang He not to leak the matter out.

After waiting for more than ten days, the messenger sent back and brought back two letters, one for Tang He and one for Da Kui, and one for Najingguan's family.

Da Kui opened the soup and handed over the letter to Huang Ying, who read the contents of the letter to Da Kui crisply: "Brother Da Kui saw the words as face-to-face, and the entrusted matter has been done. Tang temporarily borrowed his mansion in the name of his relatives. After listening to the soup and the content of the letter, Da Kui smiled, Brother Tang is decent, and it is indispensable to drink two jars with him when he turns around.

The day after receiving the letter, Da Kui packed up and went to Wu Mansion in the west of the city.

Everything went smoothly in the house, and the three or five subordinates in the house were obedient and obedient. Da Kui was also dressed in green clothes, and settled Huang Ying and the two maids.

This house is also the property of the Wu family, but it is an exclusive courtyard on the street.

The yard is very simple, a well is erected, a water tank in the corner of the wall has half a tank of sewage, maybe it has been uninhabited for a long time, the yard is overgrown with weeds.

The house is very simple.There are two wings on the left and right of the facing hall.Da Kui took ten entourages to look at the room from room to room.I can't help frowning a little.Where is this where people live?There are many things in the house to be damaged.' The doors and windows are dilapidated and leaking everywhere.Looking up at the roof, you can see a few feet of blue sky.Occasionally a few wisps of grass are hidden in the middle.This house is really a noisy house.The house is deserted.

But now that we're here, let's pack up.

At that moment, Da Kui and the ten entourages who came with him began to clean up, these entourages were all dressed as soldiers, and when they saw Da Kui, they also took action. One of the men named Hong Wu advised: "Such a trivial matter, why do you need an adult to do it, I can take care of it ourselves, and the adult should go to the street and take a walk."

Da Kui pretended to be angry when he heard this: "I have repeatedly ordered me not to call me Lord outside, haven't you heard?"

Hong Wuyi was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Then what should we call my lord."

Da Kui thought for a moment and said, "When I was at home, there was a joke called Fool, so you can call me Fool in the future."

Hong Wu and the others didn't dare to laugh when they heard this.

Da Kui personally took ten of his subordinates to clean the courtyard, tidy up the houses, repair the roof, doors, and windows, and buy some tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and other household things.

Da Kui went to prepare food again, and the newly added pot stove was cooked, and everyone ate in the hall house.

Huang Ying and two maids, Xiaohong and Xiaocui, plus ten retinues all lived in the Wu Mansion, and the carriages, horses, and bags were also left in the Wu Mansion.

When everyone had eaten, Da Kui gathered everyone together.

Looking at the familiar faces around him, Da Kui said solemnly: "Everyone, the purpose of this trip to Raozhou is to earnestly grasp the evidence of corruption of Yin Pancao, the governor of Raozhou. Da Kui's face was solemn and his tone was firm, and he paused, and then said: "Five of you can leave it with me, and the others will scatter around Raozhou to do some small business to cover up and investigate in detail."

Forty relatives and his followers all surrendered their hands to receive the order, and Da Kui finished arranging them one by one, and then said: "The things and things needed for business are all in the Wu Mansion. Twenty people are left here tonight, and the rest of the people will follow me into the Wu Mansion.

"Do as you say." Forty members of the entourage agreed in unison.......

The sky is bright, the big 'bed' is bright, and Da Kui is busy.

"Where did you pick up the clothes, they smelled sour." Da Kui put on his clothes, and Huang Ying covered his nose and frowned.

Da Kui smiled: "How is it. As he spoke, Da Kui went to look in the mirror again, and in the bronze mirror, Da Kui was unkempt and ragged, not like a coolie but like a beggar.

Huang Ying looked at Da Kui's slightly emaciated figure and said: "You have recovered from a serious illness since you first recovered, your body has not yet recovered, if you really go to do heavy work, I am afraid you can't stand it, let's wait a while." Huang Ying's words are full of concern.

"Hehehehehe. Da Kui snorted and didn't care in his heart, he looked up and down to see if there was anything wrong, so he walked to the 'door', picked up the flat rope that had been prepared a long time ago, and smiled at Huang Ying: "I, Zhang Dakui, am not a pampered young master.

Looking at Huang Ying, who was worried, Da Kui once again 'revealed' a relaxed expression and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." As he spoke, he opened the door and walked out of the room, walked through the courtyard to the front house, and walked out of the Wu Mansion with the five relatives waiting there.

Six people took the Raozhou freight yard, which is the gathering place of goods from all over the world.

When they came, the six of them all gave their own names as 'mixed'.Da Kui was a fool.The rest of the people were dogs.stones.brooms.dustpans.bench.These were all 'mixed' names for Da Kui.Everyone got the name of 'mixed'.

According to the rules, when the coolies arrived at the freight yard, they had to squat at the root of the wall and wait for the employer to recruit people. Six people came to the ground, and naturally there were no exceptions.

Da Kui saw that the other coolies were all yellow and thin, and then looked at the five people he brought, but they were big shoulders and round waists, and his subordinates were all from the military.
