Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 71 Chaozhou Storm

"Honey, hurry up, pack your luggage, this city of Chaozhou has become a place of right and wrong, the three of us will leave before dawn tomorrow."

When he got home, Wu Shuntian was almost awake from the wine, and his first reaction was to run away.

As he said just now, the matter is now a complete mess. It is no longer a matter of a few Eight Banners soldiers, but a matter of face. Since ancient times, face problems have been bigger than the sky, especially Hao Duo still belonged to Zhenghuangqi, and he was regarded as a standard relative of the emperor. In a big way, it was a matter of the face of the Tian family.

Changed to Liu Dapao, although he is a Han Chinese, he has achieved the position of a big official in the frontier, and he has been given the false title of a cabinet scholar. He is a master, a small person who can't be smaller, why bother to go to this muddy water? ?
What if Liu Dapao doesn't protect him?After all, he was holding a chicken feather as an arrow, and he was doing it on his own. This Liu Dapao is an undercover agent, and the first rule of undercover agents is to keep a low profile, and he went to grandma's house with a high profile.

Anyway, the money has already been obtained, and the banknotes in his hand are more than 4000 taels. Returning to his hometown in Shaoxing is enough to be a local tyrant, and live the rest of his life in a down-to-earth manner.

"Go? Where are you going, where are you going?" Wu Shuntian's wife looked confused.

"Go home, go back to our hometown, we have money now."

"Old Wu, my lord thinks highly of you, and you caused him so much trouble to pat his ass and leave, isn't that a bastard? Even if I haven't read the book, I know that this is an act of infidelity, It’s about being stabbed in the spine.”

"Infidelity? Pooh! I was forced from the very beginning. Do you know that he was not Liu Xun? Liu Xun died long ago. He is a rebellious party of the Tiandihui! He wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty The traitor! He killed my benefactor Liu Xun. If it was in the Han and Tang Dynasties, I should draw my sword and fight him! What kind of loyalty do I have with him?"

Hearing this, his wife was stunned, but for a moment, she also panicked, and really packed everything in a daze.

But suddenly said: "Oh, no."

"what happened?"

"Mother is coming."

"What mother, which mother?"

"Your mother."

"How do you curse?"

"Your mother is coming, my mother-in-law!"

"My mother is coming? Come... Come to Chaozhou? No, what is he doing here at such an old age!"

"Here, here is the letter, you can read it yourself."

Wu Shuntian hurriedly took the letter and read it from the beginning to the end. For a moment, his head was as big as a fight and his heart was as confused as a numbness.

The old mother's letter said that just a few days ago, her sister was married to the local wealthy Qian family and became a young mistress. Now it happens that the young master of the Qian family is coming to Chaozhou for business, and he has a hand in the sea trade. For business, his sister was also coming, and after everyone made up their minds, they escorted the old lady over to see her son.

But it made Wu Shuntian dumbfounded.

"My sister is married to the young master of the Qian family? The matchmaker is marrying, a beautiful marriage? Hey~"

"What's the matter? You're married so well, why don't you look happy at all?"

"You have reversed the relationship between cause and effect. It wasn't because my sister married into the Qian family that she came to see me, but because they wanted to see me, so they married my sister by the way."

"This... can't be, the Qian family is the richest man in Shaoxing."

"You know nothing, you woman. You don't even know how profitable the word Haimao is. At that time, Zheng Zhilong's annual income was more than four or five times that of Emperor Chongzhen. Such a large amount of money, even if it is divided into one hundredth Second, it is also a mountain of gold and silver, how can the richest man in Shaoxing compare to it?"

"It's the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. Although I am a master without official rank, I am a confidant and private minister of the lord. At least it looks like this to outsiders. At present, the general manager of Chaozhou is a completely empty shell. My confidant Naturally, the influence is very important.”

"Your Excellency left this time, Hao Duo was bedridden, as you can see, there is almost nothing big or small in Chaozhou City that I can't get my hands on."

His wife also understood after hearing the words: "Oh, my father, so you are so capable, why did the young master of the Qian family marry your sister, so that he could have a relationship with you?"

"It's nothing unusual. Where do you think the stack of banknotes in my pocket came from? None of the merchants who stuffed the banknotes for me today have backgrounds as young as his, Mr. Qian, hey~"

"My son, why are you sighing again?"

"Things... don't clean up now."

"Why?"

"If I leave at this time, then Young Master Qian will marry my sister for nothing. She is already married. Knowing that she is being tricked, will she have a good life for the rest of her life?"

"But didn't you say that Chaozhou City is already a place of right and wrong, and it is very dangerous."

Wu Shuntian stuffed a stack of banknotes into his wife's hand: "In this way, you and the child will go home with the banknotes first, and I will stay. At least I have to make things clear to the Qian family before I can leave." , if I go back alive at that time, our family of three will live a prosperous life for the rest of our lives, and if I die in Chaozhou, you will lead the child far away."

"The child's father."

"Needless to say, as a brother, I should take risks for my own sister. If I run away now, my sister will hate me for the rest of my life, but I don't need to marry a wife and children for my sister. -I really can't go back, you lead the child to live well, and I can feel at ease under the Nine Springs."

As he said that, Wu Shuntian gave his wife a hug affectionately, but he fell asleep and pretended to be asleep.

The night was very long, and his thoughts were very chaotic. Wu Shuntian felt that his little head was a little bit overwhelmed, and he needed to think about it.

…………

On the other hand, the Eight Banners Army is already raging in the unfinished city, and it has exploded.

Hao Duo didn't know if it was true or just pretending, but he announced that his old injury had recurred as soon as he came back. Today's movement made the injury worse, and he can't control anything in the next few days.

The more than 300 soldiers of the Eight Banners all thought that this breath could not be swallowed.

"Now these merchants are protected by green camp soldiers and horses. Although these Han people are inferior to pigs and dogs, their number is nearly a hundred times that of ours. How do we get them back?"

"I heard that the Zheshang business group is coming tomorrow, why don't we give them a blow? Are you going to be ruthless?"

"Zhejiang merchants... Mr. Zhongtang is from Zhejiang, right?"

"Master Zhongtang is still a Han Chinese after all, we are afraid of Huang Qi?"

"Okay, let's do that, it's just some fellow countrymen, we don't want to kill his parents"
