Chapter 36 Arrival in Fujian

On this day, an ordinary three-masted boat came on the Minjiang River, which was the "Qianshandu" that left the ocean and re-entered the inland.

"Finally ashore!" As soon as the boat landed, a figure jumped out of the boat impatiently, and after falling to the shore, it turned over several times in a row.

"Fuzhou is far more prosperous than I thought. Wang Lie also jumped lightly onto the shore, looking at the endless flow of ships on the Minjiang River or the back of the busy loading and unloading of goods on the dock, "It's prosperous, it's good that we can find someone when it's prosperous." Wang Lie said with a smile, the bustling city news is also more circulating, it will be relatively easy to find people, before coming he was worried that Fujian would be very backward, but when he arrived in Fuzhou, he found that the trade here is very developed, and the distance is unexpected.

"I have a friend who is from Fujian, my former colleague, and I went to him for help. Fan Feng came to Wang Lie's side and said, the peers he said were people who inquired like him, who made a living by selling news, and they were generally more well-informed in their business.

"This is not in a hurry, we have discussed it before, this Tiannan tourist should not be from the rivers and lakes, I think there should be nothing to inquire about from the rivers and lakes, and we should pay attention to the family gentry in Fujian. Wang Lie said, he had discussed with Wu Yazi, he had never heard of the name of Tiannan tourists, but the swaddling clothes and jade pendants were not ordinary items, they were things that could only be used by the rich family, so he planned to trace the direction to this angle.

"Senior brother, I have a question, since Liu Fusheng's father and mother abandoned him back then, then they won't want to recognize him now, aren't we looking for it in vain?" Li Suning said, she couldn't figure out this problem, she didn't even know why she was looking for it, she had never seen her biological parents, but whether it was her sister or herself, she didn't think about her biological parents, of course, her situation was different, she was adopted by Xiaoyaozi because of the death of her parents, and Liu Fusheng was abandoned.

"I'm not sure about this, maybe we don't want to recognize such a child at all when we find someone. Don't you see that Liu Fusheng is hiding?" Wang Lie sighed, this thing is really not very good, but since Fu Yuan asked him to find it, he can only try his best to find it first, in fact, from his own heart, since he abandoned people since he was a child, such parents don't need to be found.

"No, uncle, I think it's important to know your biological parents, otherwise it won't even be where you come from. Su Xinghe said, his point of view is different, "I think that Uncle Liu Fusheng must also want to know who his biological parents are." ”

"Let's not discuss this issue, why is Liu Fusheng going not to say it first, let's find the person first, and let him decide whether to recognize it or not. Wang Lie waved his hand and said.

"Ah Lie, how do we act?" He bothered to ask the wind after going around the dock before returning to Wang Lie and them, and said excitedly, when he arrived on the shore, he completely recovered his energy, and the whole person felt that he couldn't stop, and he was still beating when he spoke.

"It's hard to get ashore, as the so-called emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, of course, you have to fill your stomach before acting. Wang Lie said with a smile.

Instructed the boatman to take care of the ship, Wang Lie and his party entered Fuzhou City with great interest, and wanted to inquire about the news, so they naturally looked for the almighty hotel Xiaoer, and inquired about the two things after dinner.

The prosperity of Fuzhou is beyond Wang Lie's expectations, all the way to the largest restaurant in Fuzhou City, this restaurant is more luxurious than Luoyang's, although the quality of the wine and food is about the same, but for a few people who have been on the boat for many days is already extremely delicious, first put aside a big meal, Wang Lie called the shopkeeper.

After giving a reward of silver first, Wang Lie asked, "Little second brother, I want to ask, is there any famous big family in Fuzhou City?"

The shopkeeper smiled when he was smashed by a silver ingot of five taels, and regardless of whether Wang Lie was a Jiangyang thief who came to inquire about the news, he said: "What kind of family does this son want to ask? There are many rich and powerful families in Fuzhou City, some are officials, some are merchants, and there are martial arts tycoons, which is a lot. "The shopkeeper speaks with a Hokkien accent, which may be a professional requirement, and he can understand his official dialect.

"Tell me anything. Wang Lie said.

"Okay. Xiao Er said: "If you want to talk about the big family, the family in Fuzhou is the first to recommend the four major families, look at a few are either rich or expensive, the first of the four major families in Fuzhou is our Huang family in Fuzhou, the Huang family is a family of eunuchs for generations, and now their family has a Hanlin, a governor, two magistrates, that style, it's really-" The shopkeeper sighed twice, and continued with envy: " Next is our richest man in Fujian's Ma family, Master Ma was a salt merchant at the beginning, and then it became bigger and bigger, and now more than half of the overseas trade in Fuzhou City is controlled by their family, and it is not an exaggeration to be rich and rival the country. There is also the Shen family, which is our local gentry, with thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and a lot of power in the family. ”

"These are just three families, aren't they four families?" asked Li Suning.

"Listen to me. Xiao Er paused for a moment and said, "If you want to say that this fourth one is very famous in the rivers and lakes. I don't know if you have heard of the name of Chen Ming, a hero in southern Fujian, and his family is also one of the best in our Fuzhou. ”

"Chen Ming is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian, good at Dharma swordsmanship and Fuhu Boxing, martial arts are average, he is said to be very heroic, and the name of the hero is estimated to be a little useful in Fujian. Fan Feng said. This so-called Southern Fujian hero is not a big man in the rivers and lakes, Wang Lie and Li Suning really don't know much, but they are a top second-rate master, but they are also the number one people in the local area. After all, there are not many first-class masters and top masters in the whole world.

"Little second brother, have you ever heard of a family that has ever lost a child?" asked Wang Lie.

"Lose the child?" Xiao Er was a little confused, thought for a while and said: "I really haven't heard of this, these big families have a big business, and there are many people, which one doesn't have a few rooms, and they can't necessarily count how many people in the family are, but I haven't heard of any family that has lost a child, but I heard that Master Ma has an illegitimate child outside." At the end, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and said secretly.

"Alright, you go down, and we'll call you again if there's something." Wang Lie waved his hand and said.

When Xiao'er went down, only his own people were left in the private room, Wang Lie said: "This thing is really not easy to do, it is not a glorious thing to discard the child, it will definitely not be publicized all over the city, and there are many rich families, we can't ask one by one, and people may not pay attention to us." ”

"That's easy. Why bother asking, "Didn't you say that there is a name for Tiannan tourists, it's easy to find a reader, I am a reader." He shook his hair and said, "I'm going to hold a poetry meeting, and when the time comes, he will naturally show up automatically." ”

"Liu Fusheng's father is definitely not young, how can he participate in a poetry meeting like yours. Wang Lie pursed his lips and said, this is indeed not very reliable, they are not really in the circle of readers, and it is too to hold a poetry meeting.

"Don't worry about it first, let's wait for me to find a friend to collect the situation of various families in Fujian, and then we will make plans. Fan Feng said, there will always be clues to be found when you check carefully.

"Okay, let's stay in Fuzhou for a few days, no news, let's continue to go south, how can we not go to Putian Shaolin Temple in Fujian, this is their territory, maybe the name of Tiannan tourists they will know some, those who read the most like to pray to God and worship Buddha." ”

"Then let's split up. Why bother to ask, he couldn't wait to say: "Lao Feng went to inquire about the news, and I will use my handsome and dashing image of being rich and rich to inquire in the circle of scholars." ”

"We'll meet at the docks in the evening. Without waiting for Wang Lie to answer, he left a sentence and pulled Fan Feng away, leaving Wang Lie, Li Suning and Su Xinghe.

"Senior brother, the one-word Hui Sword Sect that has provoked you several times is also in Fujian, should we teach them a lesson?"

"Yizi Huijianmen is in Jianyang, Fujian, far away from Fuzhou, it's not worth our special trip, they don't come to provoke me, and I don't bother to care about them. "Wang Lie has long forgotten the word Hui Jianmen, when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, he didn't want to do more killing, and the word Hui Jianmen provoked himself a few times and finally let them go, as long as he didn't provoke himself anymore, Wang Lie didn't plan to settle accounts after the autumn. If you provoke yourself again, then there is really no need to save zĂ i. (To be continued.) )
