A flower of the Republic of China

Chapter 9

1,

When it was about to close, Yan Maoyong suddenly broke into a few people, did not speak, and smashed things whenever he saw them. Miff and a few old guys stopped him. He could see that everyone had kung fu, and they were not at all. The opponent, seeing the broken legs of the table in the shop, the chairs falling apart, and his anger also came out, asked anxiously with a pale face, "I said a few big brothers, why are you doing this? How did the trumpet offend you? "

"Ask your shopkeeper! Tell him, if you don't explain the matter to our Boss Chu, I'll burn your shitty place down!" Walked out from the front door.A few guys were so angry that they wanted to chase after them, but they were called back by Miff, and they were beaten in vain if they caught up, the most important thing at this moment was to inform the shopkeeper.

Wen Qingyun just came back from outside the city, and she was confused. Who is this surnamed Chu? In my impression, Maoyong did not have such a merchant, or Shen Xiaoru caused trouble outside. He should be the person they are looking for by name.

Mifford looked at the wreckage all over the ground and felt distressed, "Young Mistress, look at this, what should I do?"

Wen Qingyun said in a deep voice, "Ask someone to clean it up. You go to the Chen family woodware store next door to pick up some tables and chairs and come back. Tell Boss Chen that it is urgent. Let him bring the things here tonight. We will open as usual at the same time tomorrow."

"But..." Mi Fu still had something to say, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Qingyun understood.

"It's nothing. Didn't you say that they all have foreign accents? Find someone to find out which inn they are staying in, and I will meet them now."

Miff was taken aback, this woman is so courageous, she is not afraid of anything? "No, young mistress, it's too dangerous. What if they do it?"

"They dare to do something to a woman in Haizhou City?" Wen Qingyun sneered, "If this is the case, things will be easy."

When Maoyong Lane was in full swing, Du Wenjing and Yang Jing'an were drinking tea at Fuxinghang, and they could see clearly.Yang Jing'an came to find out about Du Wenjing's opinion. If Qiao Funian can hook up with the Qing Gang, there must be someone in between.Yang Jing'an pondered over and over again, putting his doubts on Du Wenjing.Since the second aunt "suicide", on the surface the two have nothing to do, but in fact they have parted ways.Yang Jing'an had previously revealed to Du Wenjing that he and Boss Chu of Shanghai were going to make a big deal. At that time, Du Wenjing also showed interest and said that he would add a share so that everyone could earn money together.At that time, Yang Jing'an's plan was to use Fuxinghang's cargo ship to hide his secrets, and at worst, he would give Du Wenjing some oil and water.Later, seeing Du Wenjing's cruelty, he would not be so stupid as to seek skin from a tiger, that's why he came up with Maoyong's idea.Du Wenjing is not stupid, seeing that Yang Jing'an didn't mention a word, knowing that the deal was kicked out, how could he not hold a grudge?So Yang Jing'an came in with a cold face, before he could sit still, Du Wenjing had already pulled out a bank note and pushed it in front of him.

Du Wenjing laughed Pili Yangqiu, "Brother Jing'an, this is yours. I knew that your brother must have a way. This fine cloud and soil can be traded to make money wherever you put it. Your brother is very lucky."

Yang Jing'an glanced at the bank note, the number on it was enough for the capital, he nodded, and put on a smiling face, "Brother Wen Jing, you want to make a fortune together, just say something, why make such a big fuss?"

Du Wenjing said, "I know that you are busy with other affairs, and the movement is quiet. I'm afraid you won't hear it, and it seems that you are distracted with my brother and me. Isn't that good?"

Yang Jing'an said: "How could it be? I'm just making small troubles. I will explore the way first. When I do big business, I will never forget you."

Du Wenjing laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. Let me tell you, my brother Jing'an is not like a master of killing donkeys. If nothing else, if it is true Get rid of me and eat alone, aren't you afraid that I will go to your adults if I get confused?"

Yang Jing'an nodded, pretending to be timid, "That's it. Brother Wen Jing, let's talk about it, you should hand him over to me, right?"

Du Wenjing was prepared, clapped his hands twice, and Qiao Funian, who had disappeared for many days, came out of the inner hall.

Yang Jing'an was not polite to him, and said grimly, "My boy, you actually betrayed me?"

Qiao Funian was so frightened that his knees gave way, and he knelt on the ground, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I'm a bastard. But I don't want to, I blame my unsatisfactory prodigal son, a rotten gambler, and I lost at the hands of the Green Gang. So a son, I still count on him to take care of me until the end of my life."

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Du Wenjing looked at it with a smile, and interjected, "Brother Jing'an, forget it, he has been terrified these days, looking for death and life all day long, if my people didn't pay close attention, I'm afraid you will be killed today." You can't see him anymore."

Yang Jing'an's face turned green and red for a while, and suddenly he changed his tone, "Okay, since Brother Wen Jing has spoken, I will spare you, why don't you get out?"

Qiao Funian stood up tremblingly. He couldn't believe that Yang Jing'an let him go. He blinked and squeezed a few tears.

The outside guy suddenly rushed in, "Boss, it's not good, something happened to Maoyong!"

Several people in the room glanced at each other, and it was Du Wenjing who spoke first, "Look at what you look like, there are guests here, and you are still acting like this, please speak slowly and clearly."

The clerk stuck out his tongue, and said with a shrunken neck, "Go back to my boss, someone went to Maoyong to make trouble and smashed their shop!"

Yang Jing'an hurriedly asked, "Who did it?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like a local."

Du Wenjing sneered, "It seems that you, the young mistress, have offended many people. It's only been a few days, and you've come to your door."

Yang Jing'an didn't say anything after hearing this, he suspected in his heart that these outsiders were the vanguard of Boss Chu, and Boss Chu sent him a letter the day before yesterday, saying that he would go to Haizhou for a while.what?It's not about finding him to settle accounts.Boss Chu didn't know what Kenmu company was, so he put the account on Mao Maoyong.If he and Wen Qingyun were allowed to meet and confront each other, he would not be able to hide his smuggling of Yuntu. No way, Wen Qingyun must not be allowed to know.Yang Jing'an stood up, "Brother Wen Jing, I want to lend you some envoys."

"What? You still want to see injustice?" Du Wenjing was confused, "You can't find someone to do it, can you?"

"I will explain to you slowly in the future. Now you find a few guys and keep an eye on those people. The most important thing is to know where they live, understand?" After talking about it, Yang Jing'an simply gave orders to the guys. , the man glanced at Du Wenjing, seeing him nodding again, he didn't dare to delay, and ran out the door.Yang Jing'an sat on the chair, frowning deeply, and suddenly raised his head to look at Qiao Funian, and said, "You have to come with me later."

Qiao Funian subconsciously took a step back, trembling in his heart, feeling that something was going to happen, he muttered, "Butler Yang, I know I was wrong, I have seniors and juniors..."

Yang Jing'an shot his gaze over and stopped Qiao Funian's words, "If you know your mistakes, you have to correct them. Seeing how frightened you are, I didn't say anything about you. I just asked you to do something with me and say a few words. You The whole family is fine, so don't worry. You go to the door and wait for me, I still have something to say to Boss Du."

After dismissing Qiao Funian, Yang Jing'an walked to Du Wenjing's side, and said in a very low voice, "Tell your people to keep an eye on my young lady, and never let her see those troublemakers..."

"They are?" Du Wenjing understood, and made a gesture of smoking opium and holding a bong.

Yang Jing'an nodded, "I'm afraid it is. Isn't it all your brother who caused me trouble? If she finds out about this, I will suffer. Want to get rich? Just dream."

Du Wenjing knew that the matter was of great importance, so he hurriedly sent someone to look at it, just in time to see that Wen Qingyun had received the letter and returned to Maoyong. "Success, you go and do your business. I'll watch over here. She won't spoil our big business."

Wen Qingyun rushed to the Leping Inn where those people lived, and the shopkeeper said that they had already left.If you ask any more questions, the shopkeeper will all shake his head.I was in a hurry, the shopkeeper had something to say, he runs an inn, relying on people coming and going, he doesn't care when people are willing to leave without bad money.Wen Qingyun left helplessly, and Mi Fu scolded the boy angrily, "Pig brains, don't turn around, let you find where they are staying, you have found it?" The boy felt wronged, and he watched them enter. The inn, who knows how long it takes to turn around and leave?Just stand at the inn, isn't this money-burning?The boy woke Wen Qingyun up with a few words, it seemed that someone deliberately didn't want her to see them.Who will this person be?Could it be Shen Xiaoru?In fact, before her, Yang Jing'an had already arranged everything, sealed the shopkeeper's mouth with ten taels of silver, and stuffed those people into a carriage and took them to a remote cart shop near the city wall.With the silver accompanying them, they willingly slept in the Datong bunk for the night.

After receiving the money, his expression softened, and one of them, Liang San'er, said, "Shopkeeper, we don't want to embarrass you. But after eating the meal from Boss Chu, our brothers are following orders. I think you are also a person on the scene, If there is anything, you can explain it clearly to Boss Chu, our boss is reasonable, maybe it will be over. It will also save us the trouble of running errands, don’t you think?”

"Yes, yes." After hearing this, Yang Jing'an came out with a friendly appearance, and said with a smile, "I will inevitably need everyone's help in the future. Please speak a few words of kindness for me in front of Boss Chu."

Liang San said: "You're welcome, you'd better say it yourself, our Boss Chu will be there tomorrow."

3,

Wen Qingyun didn't find the troublemaker, but saw Shen Xiaoru on the street, he was taking Jin Yan and her father to Tianxiang Pavilion, for how many days, he has been asking Jin Yan to have a meal, who knows Jin Yan watched She was young, her eyelids were not shallow, and she refused to agree to anything. In the end, she had no choice but to carry her father out.Please let me go, my dad has to go too.Shen Xiaoru seemed to be overjoyed. Yesterday he told the boss of Tianxiang Pavilion to prepare a good seafood feast. After listening to the book today, he was waiting at the door. Seeing that Jin Yan couldn't escape, he reluctantly followed behind. .Because of reluctance, the three of them felt a little awkward on the street. The young master was followed by a poor old man, and the girl slipped around the corner, keeping a distance from them. People are full of imagination.

Wen Qingyun originally suspected that today's incident had something to do with Shen Xiaoru, to be precise, it was related to his recent listening to books and making tea in a teahouse, she became even angrier when she saw it, and didn't think much about it, she took a snow lotus to stand in front of Shen Xiaoru, her face was a bit ugly, her voice was not good Big, but with a powerful look, "Go home, I have something to ask you."

Shen Xiaoru was so happy that he didn't care to look up at the road, but now he was startled by the two Cheng Yaojin who jumped out from the ground, he hesitated and said, "What are you doing?"

"Something's wrong. Something happened to the shop." Wen Qingyun's eyes turned to Jin Yan's face, and her heart tightened a little. No wonder Shen Xiaoru seemed to lose his soul in this process, and those two dimples were hooked away.A good daughter's family, isn't it good to divide your duties?It's enough to show up and tell stories, but you still have to seduce men, and do this kind of... things that are not as good as bitches!She was a little sad, as if she was mourning for all the women in the world.

"Didn't I tell you that you make up your own mind about these things, you can do whatever you want, and you can go to anyone you want, okay? Can I go?"

"No!" Wen Qingyun suddenly yelled, and all the eyes of the street were staring at her, and everyone she knew or not knew was watching.

Shen Xiaoru couldn't hold it anymore, he is a man, the man who is in charge of the house, let the women scold him on the street, he doesn't have to go out in the future, so he took a serious tone, his eyes widened, someone next to him commented, with his old man Shen Yunpei, Master Shen The eyes are incomparable.

"Get out of the way, I have something to do, you go back first, and go home after I finish my work!" Shen Xiaoru said with his head behind his back.

Jin Yan couldn't see it anymore, and stretched out her hand to pull his father's skirt, the old man hurriedly said, "Master Shen, you should go back, little one..."

"What are you doing when you go back?" Shen Xiaoru became more and more assertive, "I said I would treat you to dinner today, and I want to be here today, so I don't even want to get in the way. Let's go, let's go!"

Wen Qingyun said coldly: "Boss Chu smashed Maoyong, you really don't care?"

Shen Xiaoru's legs retracted again, "Song Maoyong was smashed? What are you talking about, what does Boss Chu do? You turned against him, why don't you hurry to the Yamen, are you still grinding your teeth here with me?"

Wen Qingyun frowned, "You don't know Boss Chu?"

Shen Xiaoru shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, I haven't seen it. Do you think I caused trouble? You are really good..."

Wen Qingyun pulled Xuelian to turn around and left, Shen Xiaoru said something later, she didn't want to hear a word.It wasn't Shen Xiaoru, it wasn't her, then there was only one "treasurer" they were looking for, Yang Jing'an.Wen Qingyun turned her head and told Xuelian to go back to the shop.

The lights in Maoyong Li are brightly lit, shopkeeper Chen has brought all the household items, and Mi Fu is leading someone to arrange them. Seeing Wen Qingyun walking in in a hurry, Mi Fu hastily blocked him, "Young lady, nothing but dust, dirty , Look at your foot again."

Wen Qingyun grabbed Mifford and dragged him to the back of the door, "Don't worry about it, go and help me with something, don't tell anyone."

Mi Fu was always worried about not being able to find a chance to repay the young mistress. Hearing this, he straightened his chest, "Young mistress, please order, go to the knife mountain..."

"It's not that serious." Wen Qingyun couldn't help laughing, "Are you an old householder in Haizhou City?"

"Yes, my ancestors have never left for eight generations. No one knows this place better than me."

"Then you quietly find some people for me, can you do it?"

Miff's mind turned, "Are those people who came to make trouble during the day? Didn't they say they're leaving?"

"Probably not yet. You go and find out, I'll wait for your letter. No matter how late, if there is news, you can go to Shen's house to look for me. Remember?"

"Remember, no matter how late, I will tell you." Miff repeated.

The news that Shen Xiaoru threw Wen Qingyun on the street quickly spread throughout Haizhou City, even Mrs. Shen heard the news.She couldn't help but smiled wryly, "It's good now, the old Shen's family has a face again. The jokes are spread on the street, and people may tell some gossip."

Dongmei beat Mrs. Shen's legs while saying, "I don't think it's the young lady's fault..."

Mrs. Shen was a little puzzled, since Shen Xiaoru got married, Dongmei had never said a good word about Wen Qingyun, what happened today?
"The young master's trouble is too unreal, I heard..."

Mrs. Shen hated people's hesitation the most, she frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? Don't hide it."

"It is said that the young master has taken a fancy to that storyteller girl, and it seems that he wants to invite him in."

Is the next step after please come in is to get married?Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help it, but for a family like theirs, it would be ridiculous and generous if they invited a storyteller into their home, she drew her legs back, sat up straight, and asked, "What do you mean?" Who did you hear from?"

Dongmei hurriedly stood up, and answered honestly, "That's all said, the girl and the old lady also have a servant who follows the young master. By the way, if you don't believe me, ask Xiao Jinzi. These days, the young master is always followed by him when he goes out. He knows best gone."

Mrs. Shen asked, and this question not only involved gossip about Shen Xiaoru, but also gossip about Wen Qingyun and Zhong Han.Little Jinzi was eager to protect the lord, and blurted out, "How can you blame the young master, he is upset about the matter of the young lady."

Mrs. Shen asked sharply, "Where did you hear all these nonsense things?"

Xiao Jinzi knew that he was in trouble, so he had already spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Madam, I also heard it from others. After Young Mistress came back alive from the bandits, everyone said so."

"Eldest young master also knows?"

"I've heard a little bit about it." Xiao Jinzi said with a bitter face, "Madam, I'm a servant, so I can't take care of the master's affairs."

"Get off! Let me tell you, if I hear anyone who dares to make irresponsible remarks in the future, don't say I'll tear your mouths apart! Get out!" Sitting on the bedside, Mrs. Shen was gasping for breath. She knew the root of the problem was Wen Qing For Yun, Shen Xiaoru didn't like her, so he was reluctant to get married, and now this kind of thing happened again, can he stay at home?
Wen Qingyun didn't know that there were so many things happening at home, she was anxious to tell Mrs. Shen about inviting Zhong Jiazhai to plant a flag to protect the road for Maoyong, it was a big deal, she didn't dare to make up her own mind.After hearing this, Mrs. Shen sneered and couldn't say a word.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? There's no other way. You know that the Green Gang is now..."

Madam Shen nodded, "Aren't you afraid of being taken away by him again?"

"Mother, I told you that last time he was ordered by someone."

"Is he ordered by someone, or are you ordered by him?" Mrs. Shen came over, staring at Wen Qingyun, "What's going on with you two?"

Wen Qingyun didn't expect to attract such doubts from Mrs. Shen. She was ashamed and annoyed, her face flushed red, and she couldn't help defending herself, "Mother, I'm all for the Shen family and business. It's too unfair for you to say that. Is it my fault that I came back alive? The screwdrivers out there are chasing rumors, they have no morals, but you are my mother-in-law, you can't and shouldn't think so!"

Mrs. Shen was stunned. She imagined that Chinese Qingyun should be crying and begging for mercy, but she never thought that she would behave like this.

Wen Qingyun took a deep breath, and said everything that should be said and should not be said, and she didn't care if Mrs. Shen was angry, "Mother, from now on, we will hand over the safety of Maoyong's freight to Zhongjiazhai. When Dad left, he said, Maoyong Let me watch, this is my decision. Whether it is right or wrong, if dad blames me at that time, I will bear the responsibility." After speaking, he turned and left.

Mrs. Shen stretched out her finger and asked in disbelief, "Did you see it? Did you see it? What kind of attitude is this? How dare she talk to me like that? Does she still have the Shen family in her eyes? Is there a mother-in-law like me? "

Dongmei came over and supported Mrs. Shen, "Calm down, don't be so angry."

"Go, let Xiaoduan and Xiaofang go find his eldest brother, I want to see if he can control this daughter-in-law!"

Shen Xiaoru, who was pulled back from Tianxiang Pavilion, entered the main room in a distorted manner, and frowned when he saw Mrs. Shen, "Mother, can you let me go? It's just a meal, and you just make such a big mess." Battle, what about it?"

"Your daughter-in-law has already rebelled, do you think it's enough? Xiaoru, fight hard, this family will be yours from now on, how can you rest assured me and your father?" Mrs. Shen rolled a few drops on her cheeks. Tears, "People's daughter-in-law takes care of her husband and children at home, while my daughter-in-law runs around all day. Say one word to her, and she rewinds ten sentences to me! This has not become a climate yet. If I am really in charge in the future, I will Is there a way out for this family?"

Shen Xiaoru was drunk with alcohol and had a good temper, he gritted his teeth and ran out the door, Xiaoduan and Xiaofang couldn't stop him.Xiaoduan anxiously shouted, "Brother, where are you going?"

Without looking back, Shen Xiaoru said, "You don't need to worry about it, I have to teach her a lesson!"

Wen Qingyun was sitting on a chair reading a book, waiting for news from Mi Fu, Shen Xiaoru kicked open the door, rushed over recklessly, raised his hand and slapped her.The two younger brothers who followed him were dumbfounded.Wen Qingyun reacted for a while, and then realized that she had been slapped for no reason, she stood up suddenly, raised her hand and returned the slap without saying a word.There were also five red fingerprints on Shen Xiaoru's cheeks.Xiaoduan Xiaofang hurriedly squeezed between the two, pushing while persuading.Shen Xiaoru saw that there was someone beside him, he refused to show weakness at all, he jumped and scolded, "How dare you hit me? I'll divorce you!"

The room was silent for a long time before I heard Wen Qingyun's voice without any joy or anger, "You don't need to rest, I will go by myself!"

Xiaoduan and Xiaofang would not let Wen Qingyun go, but Shen Xiaoru couldn't stay in the west courtyard anymore, so he voluntarily moved to the south courtyard to live with his two younger brothers.Mrs. Shen understands that if she wants Shen Xiaoru to hold her daughter-in-law hostage, she may have to spend the rest of her life.The happiest ones were Yang Jingan and Dongmei, the opportunity they had been looking for but never found came to their door.

3,

Wen Qingyun blocked Liang San and his group in the big car shop, Mi Fu moved a chair and put it in the courtyard, Wen Qingyun sat down gracefully, and said loudly: "Tell me, how did Mao Yong offend you? A hero is ruthless?"

Liang San walked out with his pants up, "You can't ask, we are not looking for you."

"It's Yang Jing'an, right?" Wen Qingyun smiled, "He's my housekeeper, so it's easier to find me than him if you need anything."

Liang San looked around, now he figured out the origin of this woman, but he didn't dare to act rashly, "It's okay. We have to go."

"Let's go?" Wen Qingyun waved her hand, and a team of officers and soldiers ran in from the yard, which she borrowed from the government office in the morning, "You smashed my shop, do you think I will let you walk out so swaggeringly?" ?”

Liang San took a deep breath, "What do you want?"

"I just want to know why. We have no grievances in the past, and we have no grievances in the present. Why are you smashing my shop?"

Liang San thought over and over again, and glanced at the officers and soldiers from time to time. He couldn't escape the musket anyway, so he simply smiled, "Boss, it's your shopkeeper Yang who lost our goods. My boss asked me to teach him a lesson. Who knows, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Wen Qingyun went straight to the point, "What product?"

Liang San hesitated, he didn't want to lose his head yet.

"Say!" Wen Qingyun stood up, and the soldiers behind him also raised their guns. "I'll count to five, if you don't say it, you will die!"

Someone behind Liang San couldn't hold on, holding his head and shouting, "It's Yuntu!"

The truth finally came to light. Yang Jingan smuggled opium and was robbed of the goods. His family was angry, and Su Maoyong was the dead ghost.The matter was so important that Wen Qingyun didn't dare to make up her own mind, and asked the officers and soldiers to bring Liang San and the others back to the Yamen. She had to inform Shen Yunpei as soon as possible.

Before Wen Qingyun finished writing the letter, Chen Zongyong came to the door, and Mrs. Shen asked her to come out to meet the guests together because something serious happened.Yang Jing'an was also standing in the living room, his face was cloudy and cloudy, and when he saw Wen Qingyun, there was a trace of smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Zongyong's face was serious, "Mrs. Shen, who would have thought that there would be such a person in the house, who would spoil Maoyong's reputation by stealing inside and out, but fortunately, there was a young mistress who was able to see clearly, so no catastrophe was caused." He calmly and Yang Jing'an looked at each other, and continued, "But it's a pity that it's too late, the culprit has already committed suicide in fear of crime."

Wen Qingyun was listening, knowing something was wrong, "Master Chen, who do you think committed suicide?"

"Qiao Funian." Chen Zongyong shook his head and sighed again, "Mrs. Shen, don't be too sad, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart..."

Wen Qingyun sneered in her heart, the one who died should be the scapegoat, and the real culprit was just giggling.But the matter has come to this point, and Liang San and the others have already changed their confession, so it is useless for her to say anything.She felt a little disheartened, since a housekeeper could turn his hand into clouds and rain, would there be justice in this world?But she never thought that this matter was not over, but just the beginning.

Yang Jing'an was ready when she found the big car shop. He asked Qiao Funian to write a confession letter. Of course Qiao Funian was not willing, but his whole family is in the hands of the Green Gang. The lives of the last family.At the last moment, Qiao Funian stared at Yang Jing'an. For the first time, he looked at him without the slightest fear, and said word by word: "Steward Yang, I will leave my family to you. If there is an accident, I will not be in the underworld." I will let you go!" After writing the letter, he put his head into the noose that Yang Jing'an had prepared for him earlier.Taking the place of the dead ghost, Yang Jing'an turned around and went straight to the Yamen. With a bank note, Liang San and others completely retracted his confession.Early the next morning, Yang Jing'an went to the prison to pick up Liang San in person. It was a gesture of goodwill, but who knew that Liang San didn't say anything good when he returned to Shanghai. In the future, the business cooperation is a mess, Yang Jing'an has been so busy for nothing, and a lot of money has been spent, but no benefit has been gained, which caused a heartache.There is also Zhang Mozhi who relieves him, money comes and goes, so don't take it to heart.

When Zhang Mozhi arrived in Haizhou City, the two of them made a lot of money in the past six months. They used the saplings to hire workers and manipulated the books. These two items alone earned them several thousand taels.Not enough?After hearing this, Yang Jing'an felt a little more at ease.

Speaking of which, Mo Zhi is really a character, just over thirty, not tall, speaks slowly and softly, but has plans in his heart.On the first day he arrived at Shen's house, he took the initiative to invite Yang Jing'an to Tianxiang Pavilion for a shark's fin feast.After a few glasses of wine, the two of them revealed to each other that they were both working for someone else. They were housekeepers, but they were actually watchdogs.Zhang Jian is stingy and doesn't allow his subordinates to be extravagant. He usually eats a lot of food and drink, and everyone complains.Shen Yunpei is not much better, although he is not as good as Zhang Jian, but he is afraid that the tree will attract the wind, so he has to knock a few words from time to time, which makes people bored.

To put it bluntly, if people like them don't think about themselves, who would think about them?It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to save yourself a way out.After a meal, the two had a feeling of hating each other, and they hit it off quickly. Starting from the accounts of Haigan Kenmu Company, Zhang Mozhi is an expert in making false accounts, and Zhang Jian, who is as shrewd and careful, was also bluffed by him. , let alone a just-started Haigan.What's more, with Tonghai's accounts as a foreshadowing, no one saw the flaws.Yang Jing'an comforted himself, just treat it as a waste of money and disaster relief.But Du Wenjing didn't think so. In the small account room of the Kenmu Company, Du Wenjing was relentless. He also contributed money and efforts over and over again, and also used a lot of connections in the Green Gang. He hoped that everyone would share the money he made in the future. Now things are falling apart. How did he explain to Chief Liu?

Yang Jing'an sneered and said, "I told you a long time ago, that Wen Qingyun couldn't stay, and repeatedly cut off our financial resources, and it's all thanks to her to get to this point."

Du Wen was furious, "Grandma, this time I have to give her something to look at, and let her know how deep the water in Haizhou City is!"

That night, Du Wenjing went to visit his old father-in-law, Chief Liu of the Green Gang, and a plan for the Wen family slowly rolled out...

4,

Wen Qingyun put all her mind on Mao Yong, and Zhong Han watched the freight, and it has been much safer. After all, it is the reputation of the [-]th Road Green Forest Chief, and even the Green Gang has to swallow their anger and dare not make trouble.As usual, after lunch, Wen Qingyun is always willing to wander around Maoyong's yard, looking here and there. She has so many things to inquire about and learn, and Mi Fu is her ready-made teacher. .Today, the two of them were talking about mountain goods, how to buy them, and how to look at their quality. Mi Fu said clearly and logically, and Wen Qingyun listened with gusto.The guys outside suddenly became confused, and they were so noisy that they didn't know what happened.Mifford remembered his responsibilities as a foreman, and was about to turn his head and yell twice, when the old man ran over and said to Wen Qingyun, "That's terrible, young mistress, your natal brother was arrested by the government, saying he killed someone! "

Wen Qingyun's legs got together and she almost sat on the ground.

Miff yelled: "Don't talk nonsense, the younger mistress's brother is a scholar, how could he kill someone? Are you a servant?"

"How could it be? There is a lot of noise outside now, young mistress, you should go back and take a look."

Mifford himself got into the car and sent Wen Qingyun to her mother's house. The gate of Wen's house was already full of people, and everyone was pointing, but Wen Qingyun couldn't hear what they said, so she just squeezed inside. As soon as she walked in, she heard her sister Qingyun. Zhu screamed, "Father, you can't die, open your eyes and look at me..."

Wen Qingyun stood in a daze, leaned back, and passed out.When she woke up, she saw Xiaoru and Qingzhu standing beside her, their faces were differently heavy.It seems that this is not a nightmare, but a reality.

Seeing that she woke up, Qingzhu burst into tears that had just stopped for a while, "Father said that you should find a way to save the little brother no matter what, and you can't let the Wen family lose their line of cigarettes."

Wen Qingyun nodded, struggling to get up, and went to the mourning hall to see Wen Yuntang for the last time.Shen Xiaoru couldn't stop him, so he could only follow closely beside him.When she arrived at the mourning hall, Wen Qingyun stood for a while without shedding a single tear, but she just couldn't cry, as if a hundred-pound boulder was pressing down on her heart, pressing all her tears under her.She knew that now was not the time to cry, she had to save Wen Yuzhu, she had to save Wen Yuzhu back.

Shen Xiaoru has already prepared words of comfort. No matter how tense the relationship between the two was before, she is his wife after all. After such a big incident, the conflict between them will naturally be put aside, but seeing Wen Qingyun like this, those words On the contrary, I couldn't say it.On the contrary, Wen Qingyun looked back at him and asked, "You will help me, won't you?" She told Shen Xiaoru to return to Shen's house quickly and write a letter to Shen Yunpei.Although she doesn't believe that Wen Yuzhu really killed someone, this matter will not be simple.As soon as Shen Xiaoru left, she rushed to the government office, went to see Chen Zongyong in person, and asked about the matter clearly.

Chen Zongyong had a business-like polite face, with an official tone on his lips, "Young Mistress, please forgive me, I also handled the case impartially. Your young master went to drink flowers and wine, quarreled with others, and stabbed someone to death. see."

Wen Qingyun didn't believe it at all, Wen Yuzhu was only 14 years old, how could it be possible to eat flower wine and visit brothels?Knowing that Chen Zongyong would not say anything, he asked, "Master Chen, can I see him?"

"Of course it's okay." Chen Zongyong called in a yamen servant and took Wen Qingyun to the prison.

The cells are always dark and dirty, and the air is filled with a rancid smell. The prisoners have not seen the sun for a long time, and they are all filthy. Only their voices are clear, and they are more vigorous when they see outsiders calling for grievances.Wen Qingyun followed the yamen guard with a good step, carefully avoiding all invisible dangers, and walked to the cell at the end, where Wen Yuzhu was imprisoned alone.

Seeing her, Wen Yuzhu was full of grievances, "Sister, they wronged me, I never did anything."

"I know." Wen Qingyun reached into the wooden fence and touched Wen Yuzhu's face, "What's going on?"

Wen Yuzhu was indeed wronged. He came out of the school and wanted to take a shortcut to go home, but a few people rushed out from nowhere and knocked him out. When he woke up, he saw a man covered in blood lying next to him. It was the piercing screams of the women.He panicked and ran home desperately, not daring to tell anyone. When he had a nightmare, before he woke up from the dream, the official came to the door.

"Sister, you have to believe me." Wen Yuzhu still seems to be in a dream, with an inexplicable sadness hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"I believe. Yuzhu, remember what my sister said, no matter what, you must stand up, and you must not confess, you know?" Wen Qingyun looked at her younger brother, her heart was so soft that it was about to drip, she went to the court, and the punishment was executed. I'm afraid that when the time comes, he won't be able to endure it even if he wants to.

This is a trap, a trap that wants to destroy her family.It's just that we don't know who is behind the plot.Before leaving, Wen Qingyun stuffed the jailer with ten taels of silver, asking him to take good care of Wen Yuzhu and not to make him suffer too much.

The head of the cell was padded with weight, he knew it in his heart, and there was a smile on his face, "Don't worry, eldest young lady, I will definitely take care of young master properly."

Three days later, Wen Yuntang, a Haizhou salt merchant who had worked hard all his life, was buried in the ground.The funeral was simple, even shabby.The Wen family has been declining these years, and there are not many relatives and friends. Wen Qingyun knew that it was time to spend money, so she gritted her teeth and sent her father away hastily.Shen Xiaoru brought his two younger brothers to see him off, and also brought a message, saying that Mrs. Shen was in poor health and could not come in person, and presented 1000 taels of libation as a token of affection.Wen Qingyun didn't care about anything else, grabbed Shen Xiaoru aside and asked, "Did Dad reply?"

Shen Xiaoru looked embarrassed, Shen Yunpei's reply letter had arrived, the words in the letter were cryptic, but the meaning expressed was that the Shen family would not intervene!He had just been promoted to the right servant, so there was no time to dodge it, let alone get into any unnecessary trouble.What's more, it's such a dirty thing like jealousy and murder in a brothel?The letter also said that the brothers of the Shen family should keep their duties, keep in mind the family rules, and refrain from going astray and embarrassing the Shen family.

After Wen Qingyun finished reading it, her heart was so cold that she tore the letter into pieces in front of Shen Xiaoru, and told him by the way that she would stay in her mother's house for a full year, so as to save the heat and filial piety, and bring bad luck to the Shen family , shame on them!
