Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 816

At the same time, on the other side of Xuanzhou Fucheng, a man threw the horse rope to the waiter, and led a few people into a restaurant in a hurry, and went straight to Tianzihao's private room.

There was a man with the appearance of a rich businessman waiting inside. When he saw the person, he immediately greeted him with low eyebrows and said, "Master Guo, it's because I'm not good at doing things. That batch of tea was... intercepted by the government. I beg you to invite Master Guo Unclog the joints."

The man's face was gloomy, and he said concisely: "Why were you intercepted?"

The matter is of great importance. He came here to investigate the matter at the order of Guo Neng. A few days ago, the Clippers rushed to Yangzhou but found nothing. It happened that news came from Xuanzhou Mansion, so he came back again.

This matter has to be cut quickly, and it cannot be delayed.

This man is Guo Shun.

The rich businessman said with a sad face: "Oh, who knows why a mysterious lord suddenly came here, who seemed to be here to supervise. In the Jiangnan generation, the joints that were opened before are no longer counted. The original lord didn't know anything. Dare to do it."

He pointed his head up: "I don't know what kind of temperament this mysterious lord is. I heard that he won't stay for too long. It is said that the superiors are strict in investigation. As you know, business is not as easy as it used to be, and even more so. Not to mention..." smuggling business.

The new emperor had only been on the throne for three years, and the situation had undergone earth-shaking changes. In less than a year, the rebellious king was eliminated, and the aristocratic family ceded a lot of land to the people. Those who were far away from the emperor's feet also suffered disasters later. .

In the next two years, the new emperor promulgated various policies, especially sent people to the south to handle the big salt case quietly, killed many people, and completely rectified the salt administration, scaring them so much that they dare not sell illegal salt No, it's not easy to make money in business now.

Thinking of this, the rich businessman became even more melancholy. Thinking of one person, he gritted his teeth and said, "Our batch of tea leaves are so hidden, how could they be intercepted suddenly? It must be the Sun in the Yangzhou Mansion who is behind the scenes. Mr. Guo, Sun Da is not tolerated." Xiao Wang, I heard that his tea business has been done in the capital city, and Yangzhou is his hometown, with a deep foundation..."

Guo Shun raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't worry, the young master has made a plan for this person, so there is nothing to worry about in the future."

Sun Da and his young master have many conflicts in business. The business is very big, but it is a pity that such a big family business has only one only son. As long as they control their only son, are they afraid that they will not obey?
The wealthy businessman showed joyful eyes and asked, "Master Guo, are you planning to..."

Guo Shun glanced at him and was not ready to answer. He thought for a while and asked the key point: "What is the name of that mysterious lord?"

The wealthy businessman frowned and said what he knew: "It seems that the surname is Xie, and he carries a cigarette pouch everywhere. I heard that the late emperor served in the Ministry of War, but I can't find out the specific name."

After finishing speaking, he asked cautiously: "Master Guo is in Beijing, have you ever heard of a person like this?"

Hearing this description, Guo Shun's heart was shocked. When there is such a powerful person in the court, surnamed Xie, who also carries a cigarette pouch with him, if he doesn't think about it, he must be the sturdy and brave Xie Qing. The current Xue Ping has to avoid three-point characters for the time being.

It's just that I don't know why the people who are far away from the border appear here, and there is no news at all. They should be acting in secret.

He glanced at the rich businessman, his face was uncertain, and he finally made a decision: "That batch of goods has been abandoned. Before that lord leaves, you must not act rashly."

Putting the words down, he immediately got up and led the people away, and the wealthy businessman didn't look back no matter how he called out from behind.

A few months ago, there was news from the court that the new emperor sent ministers to inspect the border, and it was Xie Qing and Xie Gong who sent them.

Some people speculate that foreigners are ready to move, and that the new emperor wants to deter foreigners by inspecting the border; some people speculate that the new emperor wants to inspect the three armies, rectify military discipline, and perhaps use troops abroad; some people speculate that the new emperor has not inspected the border after he ascended the throne , to promote the prestige of the emperor, in short, there are different opinions.

At this time, people are actually in the Jiangnan area. This is a bad signal!

Guo Shun couldn't guess the intention of the new emperor, but the association of the two words border and Jiangnan must have a lot to do with border smuggling. Could it be that the new emperor's ulterior motives are not drinking, and what he really wants to clear up is smuggling?

Just thinking of this, Guo Shun felt great anxiety. He wanted to tell Guo Neng this conjecture as soon as possible, cut off all the smuggling business first, and clean up the hands and feet of the intercepted batch of tea leaves. Don't let Mr. Xie find out about the Guo family.

Guo Shun led his men on fast horses and ran non-stop on the street. Pedestrians on both sides gave way one after another, and the places they passed were in chaos.

A small figure appeared in his eyes, and Guo Shunhun galloped past indifferently. After walking for a while, he reined in the reins suddenly, and looking back, the figure had long since disappeared.

wrong!

This was his first reaction. The little beggar's big eyes were full of panic, completely different from the awe and fear shown by passers-by. There were other expressions on the little beggar's face, as if he knew him, except Fear and hatred.

He thought about what was wrong, and the little beggar looked straight at him, unlike the little beggars he had seen who would instinctively shrink back and avoid looking at a strong man.

Thinking about the enemies from the past, is it the remnants of the Lian family who appear here again at such a stature and age? !
Guo Shun narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was not completely sure, he couldn't let go of this discovery.

He cursed in his heart: those idiots, they can't even find a picture of a little girl, it was a waste of his previous warning, and now he still needs to intervene in person.

Cutting weeds requires eradicating the roots, and he never takes chances.

Instructing the people around him to send news to those idiots, he looked behind him and then looked forward, calculating the time, and he immediately thought about it.

Little Lianhua dodged among the crowd and went to another street. After walking a long way, she stopped at the side of the road.

It was the man, the man who said in the woods that he was going to kill her.

How to do?
Little Lianhua squatted on the side of the street and was full of thoughts. She couldn't understand it after thinking about it. After several days, she deliberately avoided it. How could she meet that person?
People came and went in and out of the door next to her, but no one paid attention to her. There was a big word "gambling" written on the curtain of the door.

Little Lianhua put her head on her hands and thought, that person has never seen her before, and she is dirty now, so he shouldn't recognize her, right?

But she was very disturbed, she had seen that person in the woods kill the carbine before, and she was sharper than her raccoon cat, Wangcai, in catching mice, as if she could detect something strange by smelling the smell in the wind, if it wasn't for her at that time Stealing the bird's eggs was caught on the spot, and she didn't get down the tree in time to escape. She might have been caught by that person long ago.

After much deliberation, she couldn't come up with a good solution, and a small round thing rolled to her feet to bring her back to her senses.
