Chapter 137 Ambush on all sides
"If you say I'm afraid, then I'll be afraid. ”
Long Tiangang was really angry when he saw Dong Ping's tranquil appearance that had nothing to do with him, and as soon as he rowed the oar, he headed east.
After rowing more than 20 miles to the east, I saw a bamboo raft docked not far away. There was a person sitting on the boat, it was Fu Kangchuan. There was a table on the raft with a pot of old wine on it.
"Stop. Dong Ping stood up, stretched his waist, and jumped onto the bamboo raft. As soon as he came, he drank a glass of wine. Then he sat down and said, "Why, have you gathered a few boatloads of grain? If it's too early, I'll give you another four days." ”
Fu Kangchuan said proudly: "I have already collected all the grain." ”
After hearing this, Dong Ping was shocked and said, "It's only been two days, and you have collected all the grain?"
Fu Kangchuan smiled and said: "Not only did I collect all the grain, but I also transported it into Qiandao Mansion." I also hid the grain of thirteen ships in seven islands in batches. ”
"I'm afraid the silver I gave you is only enough to buy nine boatloads of food. ”
"Yes, even if you add the silver in Mr. Gou's hand, it is only enough to buy eleven boatloads of food. But now I have not only bought thirteen ships of grain, but I also have more than three thousand taels of silver left in my hand. Fu Kangchuan took out three silver tickets from his arms, and took out some scattered gold and silver and pressed them on the silver tickets.
"How?" Dong Ping smiled helplessly, he boasted that he also had some intelligence, but he couldn't see through what was in the head of Fu Kangchuan, a genius child.
Fu Kangchuan smiled and said: "Among the thirteen boatloads of grain, five of them were collected by me for Mr. Gou to collect them on the spot in Qiandao Mansion. All we harvest is stale rice and rotten grain, and no matter how long the grain has been pressed in the urn, we will still receive it. So for less than 1,500 taels of silver, we received five full ships of grain. ”
Hearing this, Dong Ping couldn't help but ask: "Do the people of this Qiandao Mansion have so much grain in their homes?"
"This is natural, Brother Dong, you don't know, the tax in Shuzhou is about half lower than that of other state capitals. And some perennial disasters and famines, the Shuzhong Royal Mansion is exempt from taxes. Although this Qiandao Prefecture is poor, it is more than enough to collect a few boats of old grain. ”
Dong Ping nodded when he heard this: "It seems that this prince of Shu has a lot of experience in buying the hearts of the people. ”
When Fu Kangchuan heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Our Shu prince is a god enshrined in the village temple, my mother and I fled from Beimang to Shuzhou, and we also passed through many state capitals on the way, but we still belong to the comfort here." ”
"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about your other boatloads of food. ”
"The other boatloads of grain were procured from Linxian County. But it takes a lot of silver to rent a ship to transport grain. So I spent some money, rented thirty boats, and started a passenger business by the river, but the ships went to one place, and that was the Kuril Province. Brother Dong, don't say it, as soon as I rent this boat, it will be full. It turned out that there were many people who wanted to come to Qiandao Province to visit relatives and do business, but few boatmen dared to take this waterway. So I tied the grain with the big head under the boat, and put the grain with the small head on the boat, and this back and forth several times, not only brought the grain in, but also made a lot of money on the ship. ”
When Fu Kangchuan said this, Dong Ping looked at him with more and more appreciation. Dong Ping couldn't help but secretly said: "Living in the world is tantamount to ancient trees wandering in the rivers and lakes. If you want to survive, that piece of wood is enough. But if you want to make a career, you have to have a ship. If I, Dong Ping, can be the keel of the ship, then Fu Kangchuan may be able to become the mast of the sail. After thinking about it, Dong Ping smiled and said: I said that in the past two days, why haven't I heard the news that there is a big ship transporting grain to Qiandao Mansion, and your head is too calculating. But you have collected so much old rice, can you sell it?"
Fu Kangchuan said with a smile: "Brother Dong, don't drill the horns, it is precisely because of this old rice that the new rice can be sold expensive and good." It's like ......" Speaking of this, Fu Kangchuan stumbled, but he didn't know what metaphor to use for a while.
Dong Ping continued: "It's like an ugly maid next to a beautiful lady." ”
Fu Kangchuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Convey God! If there is no old rice lining, how can I reflect the value of new rice? Moreover, when I collect rice in this Qiandao Mansion, I can also have a saying when I sell rice." ”
"You know, and I'll leave it to you. Even if I do it myself, I won't necessarily be able to do it better than you. Dong Ping's tone was sincere, and he had no intention of flattering and boasting, he had to admit that in terms of the layout of subtleties, he was indeed inferior to Fu Kangchuan, who was in his prime and had an active brain.
"How much money are you going to earn this time? ”
Fu Kangchuan touched his chin and said: "I didn't think about how much silver I earned, I just pondered how to sell three hundred taels of rotten rice and five thousand taels of rotten rice." ”
Dong Ping smiled when he heard this: "Then you just go and toss, I will block the buyer's way out." ”
After saying that, Dong Ping got up and wanted to leave.
At this time, Fu Kangchuan made Dong Ping stand in place with a word: "Brother Dong, you have to be my right-hand man." ”
"Oh, shouldn't you be my right-hand man?"
Fu Kangchuan smiled and said: "As long as you are old, whether it is a big brother or a grandfather, you can do it." But as for who is the head and who is the arm, it still depends on the ability. ”
Dong Ping sighed when he heard this: "That's true, it seems that I have to work hard, and I can't let you compare." With that, Dong Ping returned to the ship.
Looking back at Fu Kangchuan in the mist, Dong Ping couldn't help laughing. Hearing Fu Kangchuan's words just now, Dong Ping didn't realize it
Now that Fu Kangchuan is so important, he is raising tigers, but he thinks that what Fu Kangchuan said is reasonable.
Relying on the old and selling the old will only be buried in the soil.
Besides, Dong Ping has never thought about being anyone's leader, if Fu Kangchuan really has the ability to top the sky, he, Dong Ping, may not be able to put down his body to assist him.
"Let's row. Dong Ping said after lying down.
Long Tiangang shook his head and said, "Why are you lying comfortably and asking Master I to row for you." ”
Hearing this, Dong Ping sat up again and said, "Although you are precocious, you have an elm head. With your little bit of money, don't prick me, or I'll kill you. Immediately, Dong Ping flicked his fingers, and a volley of force entered Long Tiangang's body.
In an instant, Long Tiangang fell to the ground and rolled. At this time, he only felt that he was itching all over his body.
"Stinky Dong Ping...... Hey... Sir... Sooner or later, the master will kill you...... Haha......"
Dong Ping couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "This person, if you meet a person who is much more powerful than what you yearn for." Even if you don't want to ask for advice, you should watch him quietly from the sidelines to see how he got to that point. Then learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, improve yourself, and be able to match or surpass it in the future. It's not like you, who only yells and yells about uselessness, which not only won't help, but will also make others disgusted with you. It seems that Ling Zun is indeed negligent in disciplining you, so I will reluctantly make it difficult for him to discipline you. ”
After that, Dong Ping unlocked the acupoint that Long Tiangang was sealed by him. But immediately, Dong Ping tapped his finger and sealed Long Tiangang's dumb hole.
I don't know how much Long Tiangang listened to Dong Ping's words, but he only knew that after glaring at Dong Ping viciously, he picked up the oars and rowed hard.
The white horse passed through the gap, and it was already two days in a trance in the blink of an eye.
Before the sun had risen, a plainly dressed woman came out of a dilapidated house carrying a basin of bloodstained clothes.
If you go to do laundry at this time, it is best to rest for half an hour after lunch. First, the water is not cold. Second, people are also spiritual. But this woman not only did the opposite, but only looked at her dry red lips, don't say early, I'm afraid she didn't even drink saliva.
At this time, there were still very few people on the road, but this woman also dodged left and right, escaping the strange gaze stolen by the scattered passers-by.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man holding a soup cup in one hand appeared in front of the woman and blocked her way. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly knelt down and said, "The lowly maid has come to see the big master." ”
The middle-aged man lifted the woman up and said, "Brother and sister of the Liu family, what are you doing! Our Xiao family is called brothers and sisters, although I am in charge, I can't stand such a big gift from you!"
The woman bowed her head and said, "It is already a great kindness for you to keep our husband and wife here, and I should know how to be polite." ”
Let's say that this middle-aged man is Xiao Mengzhi, the head of the Xiao family, and this woman is Liu Futang's wife.
Xiao Mengzhi smiled bitterly: "Brother and sister, I know that it was wrong for me to arrange your husband and wife in that shabby house, and you should complain." But this is not something I can do alone, although I am in charge, but what decision to make, it has to listen to the elders in the family. ”
Liu's wife smiled and said: "It's serious, and I don't have any complaints." As I just said, it is a great kindness for the Xiao family to take me and my husband into the hall, and my husband and I will not complain about whether the house is covered with broken tiles or glass. ”
Xiao Mengzhi nodded and said: "I know that both of you and your husband are honest and honest people, and Futang was also wronged, don't worry, when Futang's injury is healed, I should transfer him back to continue to be my help." ”
After that, Xiao Mengzhi snatched the wooden basin held by Liu's wife and said: "These clothes don't need to be washed, I will send someone to bring a new one in a while, and this cup contains the fish soup that I ordered someone to stew." Although Futang's mouth is inconvenient, he can't always drink the porridge. ”
Liu's wife knelt down again when she heard this, and she kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for being in charge!"
Xiao Mengzhi sighed and said, "What is this doing! Brother and sister, get up quickly, I still have something to tell you!"
Immediately, Liu's wife got up and said, "Be in charge." ”
"It's so blue. A man said inarticulately.
When Liu's wife was still more than ten feet away from the dilapidated living room, she saw Liu Futang sitting on the threshold and looking up blankly. Liu's wife hurriedly hugged the soup cup and ran over and said, "Why did you come out and lie down in the house?"
After Liu Futang glanced at her, he suddenly grinned and said, "Hungry." ”
When Liu's wife heard this, the tears in her eyes and the blood in her heart flowed out painfully. Liu Futang didn't know what torture he had suffered in the Yan family, and after he came back, he looked a little stupid when he woke up. This is probably why the Xiao family arranged him here and regarded him as an outcast.
Liu's wife handed the soup cup to Liu Futang and said, "You wait, I'll go get you a spoon." With that, Liu's wife turned sideways and entered the house. But when she came out, Liu Futang had already drunk half of the fish soup in the cup.
Liu's wife wiped away her tears, handed the spoon to Liu Futang and said gently: "Use this." ”
Liu Futang also obediently took the spoon and slowly ate it one by one.
Seeing this, Liu's wife didn't say anything, she went into the house and started cleaning. When she cleaned up the only table in the house, she found that it was not there
There are also a few large characters of paper scattered here. Writing a few words on weekdays is the only thing Liu Futang likes to do now.
Liu's wife picked up the papers and looked through them one by one, and on each piece of paper, the same word was written. Pu, the cattail of the grass. A humble but tenacious aquatic weed, the stem is edible, and the flower can be used as medicine. Even if it is dry, it can be used to weave mats and fans.
Liu's wife was sold into Liu's family as a child daughter-in-law, she doesn't remember her name or something, maybe she never did. When Liu Futang grew up, he gave him a name, which was Pu. With her husband's surname, she was named Liu Pu.
Born humble, but very tenacious.
Liu Pu's tears flowed down and wet the paper. She muttered, "I forgot, but you remember." ”
Immediately, Liu Pu wiped away his tears and continued to work again. Liu Futang, who was sitting on the threshold, put the spoon beside him, and it looked like he had finished eating.
At this time, Liu Pu said unintentionally: "I went out to meet the boss just now, and he said that he wanted to ask you about something, and asked you to give me an idea." ”
Liu Futang didn't reply, and Liu Pu continued: "Recently, some rumors have spread on this island, saying that the Yan family has something to do with the people of the government. There is also a general of the government, I heard that in order to help the Yan family's brothers who died on Sijun Island, he found the Lei family without authorization, and was dealt with by military law. And the last time Yan came to the house, he advised us to find an opportunity to surrender to the government. Our head of the family told the elders about this, but everyone persuaded us to part ways with the Yan family. Speaking of which, Liu Pu was also shocked by the power of the so-called three-person tiger. That Xiao Mengzhi and Yan Feihuang are not only in-laws, but also a few iron brothers, but how did Xiao Mengzhi listen to a few rumors and rumors, and he began to suspect the Yan family?
Liu Pu shook her head, she never knew how terrible the word profit was: "Our boss said that you will stay and stay, so it is better to help him come up with ideas." ”
Liu Futang was still silent, and after Liu Pu walked out with a dustpan, he saw fish soup hanging from the corner of Liu Futang's mouth, and his eyes were dull. Liu Pu wiped Liu Futang's mouth clean and said: "The head of the house is also kind, thinking that he can get better faster if he lets Futang use his brain more." But now it seems that it was in vain. After thinking about it, Liu Pu said: "Then you stay at home, I'll go to work, and bring you a few mouthfuls of meat to eat at noon." ”
When half an hour passed after Liu Pu left, Liu Futang got up and returned to the house, picked up a pen and wrote a word on the paper, stupid.
The wind of gossip has already blown, and the Yan family should be the hardest hit. In the Yan family, the spearhead is all pointed at Yan Silang. The last time Yan Silang was caught by Dong Ping, Yan Silang didn't take it seriously at first, he just felt that he was inferior in skills, and if he lost, he lost.
So when she returned to Yan's house that day, she told her about it in public. At that time, she would never have imagined that after several drastic changes in the past few days, this incident would have such a big impact. Many people on the island thought that today's rumors had nothing to do with Yan Silang being captured and released by the garrison of Qiandao Prefecture that day.
Let's say that Yan Feihuang, the head of the Yan family, was lying in the recliner at this time, looking at an idle book, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Come in. ”
Before Yan Feihuang could finish speaking, a person pushed the door and hurriedly walked in. Yan Feihuang glanced at the visitor, and then moved his gaze to the page: "Dou Buyi, you are a rare guest, what are you looking for me to do?"
Dou Buyi's expression was still cold, but at this time, his eyebrows were a little anxious: "Master, why did you lock up Yan Silang? Could it be that even you believe those rumors?"
Yan Feihuang said lightly: "Whether it's rumors or the truth, I don't believe it." Everything I do, it's for the sake of good. Now it's not just our island, but several other families are also rumoring that our Yan family has something to do with the garrison of Qiandao Mansion. If we can't even plug our own mouths, how can we talk about blocking other people's mouths. Locking up the four waves is, first, to appease the hearts of the people on the island. Second, it can be regarded as protecting the four waves. What you should do now is to arrest and kill the rumor-mongers, not to find fault with me, so let's go. ”
Listening to Yan Feihuang's tone, it was quite serious and resolute, and it was not good for Dou Bu to dwell on it too much. After he turned to leave, Yan Feihuang knocked the book in his hand on his knee and muttered, "The end is coming." ”
At the beginning, the scenery was infinite, and Yan Silang, who was vertical and horizontal, became a prisoner. At this time, she was locked up in the prison of the Yan family, tossing and turning. At this time, Dou Buyan, who came out of Yan Feihuang just now, entered the prison.
"Four waves. ”
Yan Silang sat up when he heard the sound and said, "Brother Dou, why are you here?"
Dou Budian squatted down, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and put it in the cell and said: "Those people who don't like you on weekdays will definitely take advantage of your trouble this time to rectify you, and I will send you some healing medicine." ”
Yan Silang smiled: "Brother Dou, you also have too much heart. The people who are in charge of the arrangement are all brothers who have a good relationship with me on weekdays, and no one will be rude to me. Besides, if you want to beat me up, you have to ask if my fist is it. ”
"In that case, then I'm relieved. After that, Dou Budian stood up: "You have been wronged for two days first, and I will go and arrest the people who spread rumors and make trouble." ”
"Brother Dou has a clue now?"
Dou Budian shook his head and said, "I don't have your brain, but as long as I thoroughly investigate all the people in the Yan family, I can always find out." ”
