Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() It wasn't until Wu Shigong and the two brothers from the Lu family walked down the stairs to the lobby of Zuihualou that the people in the private room came to their senses.Guan Gongzi immediately rushed out of the private room, and the bustard of Zuihualou also ran out with Guan Gongzi.

Mr. Guan was at the stairs, and shouted to his companion at the entrance of the lobby: "You are all dead! Stop him quickly."

But the first thing that came to mind was the nursing home of Zuihualou. The two nursing homes at the door looked at the bustard on the stairs and saw the bustard nodding to them, so they immediately walked towards Wu Shigong.

But those nursing homes also knew that the guests who could enter this Zuihualou were either rich or noble, so the two nursing homes did not dare to offend Wu Shigong casually.Therefore, they just blocked the direction of the door with their bodies, and the nurse in front said to Wu Shigong: "This one..."

Wu Shigong didn't wait for the nurse to finish speaking, he stepped into the distance with that nurse, and gave another headbutt, the nurse immediately fell to the ground covering his bleeding face.

The other nurse didn't expect Wu Shigong to act so simply, so he was stunned for a moment.But just as he was in a daze, Wu Shigong raised his leg and kicked his knee hard from top to bottom.The nurse immediately screamed, hugged his knees and fell to the ground.

At this time, the companions brought by Mr. Guan only reacted.But just as they wanted to rush towards Wu Shigong, they were suddenly pushed away by a group of big men.The group of big men immediately surrounded Wu Shigong, protected Wu Shigong and the two brothers from the Lu family and walked out.These were the guards arranged by Wu Shigong at the entrance of Zuihualou. They saw Wu Shigong making a move, so they rushed in from the door.

To deal with this kind of chaotic scene, the most experienced one is of course the fighter in Haonu—Shu Ye.Shumo immediately shouted: "Our young master is here, who dares to block the way and wants to destroy the nine clans?"

Shumo's words immediately stunned those companions of Mr. Guan who were about to move around and the guards who came after hearing the news.In the capital city, it might not be uncommon to have a son of a Marquis, but in Yangzhou City, wealthy businessmen are not uncommon, but a young Marquis is definitely rare.

And the behavior of Xiao Houye bullying men and women has passed through the rich and colorful literary forms of the Ming Dynasty, which is familiar to the broad masses of Yangzhou.

Seeing Wu Shigong and his group walking out, the surrounding people stepped aside one after another.Only Mr. Guan shouted again on the stairs: "You bunch of killers, what's so great about the son of a marquis, hurry up and stop him!"

Mr. Guan didn't expect at all that those people who surrounded Wu Shigong were skeptical about Wu Shigong's identity as the young master, but now Wu Shigong's identity was authenticated by Mr. Guan's authority.How dare they touch Wu Shigong now?They don't have the status of sons of officials like the son of Guan. If they touch Wu Shigong, they may be beaten to death by Wu Shigong's guards in vain, and they have nowhere to complain.

Therefore, under the protection of the guards, Wu Shigong arrived at the carriage parked half a mile away, and took the carriage back to the inn.Lu Jianyin and Lu Jianchen also sent Wu Shigong to the inn.

When he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard where Wu Shigong lived, Lu Jianyin said hesitantly, "Master Wu, I'm really sorry about what happened today. But..."

Seeing that Lu Jianyin was still preparing his speech, Wu Shigong immediately said: "There is no need to apologize. No matter what we do today, the Salt Transport Envoy and Qi Jia will not deal with us. But the problem now is that I have You sell salt locally, and you also have salt farms to produce salt, but there is no salt guide that can transport your salt to me.”

"Looking at today's events, you can understand that what you said during the day is definitely impossible. And at this moment, the two Marquis Mansions behind me will definitely not be able to send people to Yangzhou Make connections. To be honest, looking at the situation like this, even if someone is sent, the Salt Transport Envoy Yamen will basically not buy it."

After hearing Wu Shigong's words, both Lu Jianyin and Lu Jianchen nodded. To be honest, what happened today made the two brothers give up their hearts.Lu Jianyin and Lu Jianchen are not stupid. They found that the reason why the Lu family lost Yan Yin was not because they thought it was just the Qi family who was playing tricks, but the Yan transport envoy behind the Qi family was doing the tricks.

But in this way, they found that there was no basis for cooperation between themselves and Wu Shigong, because the salt field that the Lu family gave to Wu Shigong could not transport a single grain of salt, so it was of no value at all.

What made Lu Jianyin and Lu Jianchen even more worried was whether Wu Shigong would blame the Lu family for meeting this matter.Because the reason why Wu Shigong was willing to come to Yangzhou in person this time must be because he had high hopes for accepting this saltworks.But if Wu Shigong thought that the Lu family had lied to him, would he take revenge on the Lu family?That would make the Lu family's current predicament even worse.

After a while, Lu Jianyin asked Wu Shigong with a hoarse voice, "Master Wu, what do you think now?"

Wu Shigong thought for a while and said: "There is still no good solution for the time being. But it is not impossible for a turnaround in the future. So the most urgent thing now is to continue to supply the official salt goods. Two people, Yangzhou is no longer possible. Are you in other places? Is there a way?"

"Your Excellency, there is a way to ask this question. The Lu family has also been immersed in the salt world for many years, and friends in the salt world also know a few. If the Lord believes in our Lu family, the Lu family can buy some salt for the Lord from Shandong and Changlu. The goods are here. However, because those salt fields are far away from the adults, and the salt is not produced by our Lu family, the price of those salt goods may be higher."

"If it's higher, it's better. It's better than no salt supply. Let's do it first. Maybe for the time being, your Lu family's profit will be less. But as long as we survive this hurdle, the future will always be better." It won't be any worse than it is now."

Seeing Wu Shigong still wanted to cooperate with the Lu family, Lu Jianyin and Lu Jianchen finally felt relieved.

After the two brothers from the Lu family left, Wu Shigong called Yuan Xingshan over and asked, "How is the shipment going?"

"The goods we brought over today have already been delivered to the Lu family's business. We also took some goods from Jiangnan from the Lu family's business. But the goods in their Lu family's business are not enough, and the villain has to go outside to buy a few more. sky."

"Don't buy it. I will hire a boat to go back tomorrow. The extra money will be left at the Lu family and let them buy salt. This time I went to Yangzhou, it was a waste of time! There are many things at home, so I'd better go back early and feel at ease." ah!"

Not to mention that Wu Shigong is preparing to return.After that Mr. Guan suffered a loss in Zuihualou, he immediately went home and complained to Guan Yin, the salt transport envoy.I hope Guan Yin will stand up for him and take care of Wu Shigong properly.

After Guan Yin understood the ins and outs, he immediately felt that the matter was very difficult.After all, Wu Shigong is a son of the Marquis, and he has the official title of guard.But today's conflict, in the eyes of others, is nothing more than two dude's jealousy in the brothel.

But if Guan Yin used the power of the Yangzhou government to deal with Wu Shigong, those cunning officials would definitely not wade into this mess.But if the Yan Ding of the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy is used, the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy does not have the power to arrest people, so it is not necessary to use those Yan Ding and Wu Shigong's guards to fight gangs on the streets of Yangzhou!

But now for Guan Yin, he is in a sensitive period.Guan Yin is the person who first assisted Zhou Yanru. This time, in order to increase the power in his hands, Zhou Yanru will vigorously promote the people who will restore the society in the south of the Yangtze River.

This Fushe was led by Zhang Pu. They were actually the political successors of the Donglin Party, and their influence in Jiangnan and even the entire imperial court was quite large.

What's even more frightening is that the Donglin Party only controls the bureaucracy, and Fushe not only controls the bureaucracy, but also controls the recruitment of scholars.Although Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, claimed that he did not form a party in front of Emperor Chongzhen, he secretly flirted with Fushe and wanted to use the power of Fushe members to increase his power.

And this year is the year of the imperial examination. Zhou Yanru will personally serve as the chief examiner, and a large number of members of the Fushe, including Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe, will be admitted as Jinshi and become Zhou Yanru's students.

Therefore, Jiangnan students who go to Beijing to catch the exam will get funding from Guan Yin when passing through Yangzhou.And during this period of time, Guan Yin had better not make any trouble here.

So in the end, Guan Yin still decided to hold back his breath.However, Guan Yin swore secretly in his heart: "In the future, Wu Shigong will never get a grain of salt from Yangzhou!"
