Chapter 145 Next (Part [-])
Both Qian Shi and Zhuang Zhiyuan cast their eyes on Zhuang Jingshu, with a hint of puzzlement flashing across their faces.

"Sister Shu, why?" Qian Shi looked at Zhuang Jingshu suspiciously, "Don't you even look at how thin your father has become? Is it possible that you plan to watch your father suffer all kinds of torture? "

"Yes." Zhuang Zhiyuan agreed with Qian's words very much, "I don't want to stay in that ghostly place any longer!"

"Father, do you want to live under the fence all your life? Do you want to be ridden on your head by the second room all your life?" Zhuang Jingshu stared at Zhuang Zhiyuan, took a step forward word by word, and quickly He stood in front of Zhuang Zhiyuan.

"I don't want to either, but what can we do?" At this moment, Zhuang Zhiyuan was surrounded by helplessness, "It's not that I haven't tried my best, but Uncle Yongyi's family started with martial arts, and I... ...I was raised by that old woman since I was a child, and I have no strength to restrain a chicken."

"No! Dad, now is the best time." Zhuang Jingshu's eyes flashed with viciousness, "Whether our third room can turn around depends on whether we can seize this opportunity."

Zhuang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up for a moment: "Sister Shu, come and listen to me."

"The second uncle's order to be transferred to the Ministry of War has been issued. After the new year, the second uncle will leave for Beijing, and this White Deer City is the place where my family made a fortune. The soldiers guarding the White Deer City are all from my banker. Uncle Er is really relieved, or is he really willing to let go?" Zhuang Jingshu's face showed a rare confidence, "Before Uncle Er entered Beijing, he must arrange someone to watch over the barracks, and this person..."

Zhuang Jingshu said, her eyes fell on Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Aside from Dad, is there a better candidate? I think this is why the second uncle put Dad in the barracks all of a sudden."

Zhuang Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, master, Sister Shu is right!" Qian Shi also became excited, with an indescribable excitement in her eyes, "Master, we can use this as an excuse to stay in Bailu City, and then... ..."

Qian Shi suddenly felt that the future was bright, and in a trance, she had become the hostess of Uncle Yongyi's mansion.

"No!" Zhuang Jingshu interrupted Qian before she could finish her sentence, "Daddy stay here, my mother and I will go back to Beijing with Erbo and the others!"

"Why?" Qian's voice was a little sharp, "Sister Shu, do you know what you are talking about?"

The corner of Zhuang Jingshu's mouth revealed a hint of coldness: "Aniang, do you think the second uncle will let our family stay here? As long as we show that there is such a meaning, the second uncle will definitely take our whole family back to the capital. Don't worry about letting a group of people with different ideas stay in White Deer City?"

Zhuang Jingshu's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the little flame that had just risen in Qian's heart.

"Sister Shu, tell me, what are we going to do next?" Zhuang Zhiyuan suddenly became excited and looked at Zhuang Jingshu with a little light in his eyes.

Yuan Zhihao and Qian Geer are sitting in the private room on the second floor of the Taibai Building, the best restaurant in Bailu City, drinking wine one after another.

"Fifth Master, when are you leaving for Beijing?" Brother Qian got up and filled Yuan Zhihao's cup with wine.

"Fourth brother is preparing. If there are no accidents, there will be about ten days." Yuan Zhihao's attention was obviously not here, his eyes were fixed on the bustling pier in front of Taibailou, and his expression was a little dazed.

"Fifth Master, how about I go back to Beijing with you?" Brother Qian asked tentatively.

"No, you stay." Yuan Zhihao refused without thinking about it.

"..." Brother Qian didn't speak, but just stared at the wine glass in front of him.

Yuan Zhihao finally pulled his mind back, looked at Brother Qian and smiled, "What's wrong? Can't you figure it out?"

Brother Qian didn't hide anything, and nodded slightly.

"You stay here, you have something to do." Yuan Zhihao raised his glass with a smile, and nodded slightly at Brother Qian, "Zhuang Zhipeng has contacted me secretly."

"Oh!" Qian Ge'er's eyes lit up immediately, and his spirit, which had been sluggish just now, suddenly glowed with vigor.

"Zhuang Zhipeng is a hero, and he is difficult to deal with." Yuan Zhihao frowned slightly, "This time, the fourth brother may..." Yuan Zhihao paused, "He lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot."

"How do you say that?" Brother Qian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Could it be that the fifth master thinks that the sea ban... the government will agree to open it?"

"It's not that I will agree to open it, but I will definitely agree to open it!" Yuan Zhihao suddenly raised his head and looked at Qian Geer, "If there is no Zhuang Zhipeng, I am not very sure, but now this matter, with Zhuang Zhipeng's participation, the official Everyone will agree!"

Brother Qian looked at Yuan Zhihao excitedly. He couldn't figure out what the opening of the sea ban would have anything to do with Zhuang Zhipeng, but he understood the last sentence. It means that the imperial court will support it, so wouldn't it be...

Yuan Zhihao understood the meaning in Qian Ge'er's eyes: "So, I let you stay and prepare well. When the sea ban is lifted, our ships will be the first to set sail. This time, we will work hard to make money for him." One sum!"

Brother Qian also became excited immediately: "Okay! I'll go home tonight and let Dad discuss with the patriarch..."

"No." Yuan Zhihao stopped Brother Qian's words, "We can only prepare quietly for the first call. After all, this is just my guess. If it gets out, I'm afraid there will be another disturbance."

"Okay, okay, be careful." Brother Qian nodded hurriedly, raised his cup, touched Yuan Zhihao lightly, and then drank it in one gulp, "Fifth Master, after the goods are sold..."

"After the goods are sold, [-]% to [-]% will be divided, I get four and you six." Yuan Zhihao said calmly, "If there is any loss, this is also the compensation."

Brother Qian was only slightly taken aback, and then agreed. Yuan Zhihao had already bought his ship, because Yuan Zhirui wanted to seal off the sea, and take advantage of people who were already engaged in overseas trade. This matter is no longer a secret.

Some people who went overseas heard this, some were timid, and started selling sea-going ships. Yuan Zhihao secretly bought a lot, and Qian Geer took the opportunity to buy some. Now the number of sea-going ships of the two families is about four or six. This amount, so Yuan Zhihao's request is not too much.

"Okay, my father will definitely agree." Qian Ge'er opened his mouth and gave Yuan Zhihao an affirmative answer.

"It's just that I'm alone." Yuan Zhihao shrugged with a smile, "This matter of effort..."

"Naturally, my Qian family will bear it all." Brother Qian took the words without thinking about it, "Don't worry, fifth master, I will be responsible for purchasing the goods now."

Yuan Zhihao took a deep look at Brother Qian, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't make you suffer!"

Brother Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became enlightened: "Master Wu, this time we go to sea, we will share it [-]-[-]!" Seeing Yuan Zhihao was about to speak, Brother Qian raised his hand and stopped him, "Unless Master Wu doesn't recognize it!" My collaborator!"

Yuan Zhihao looked at Brother Qian meaningfully, and suddenly raised his glass: "Come on, our big money-making plan, let's have a drink!"

Yuan Zhirui was pacing back and forth in Xiao Yunfeng's study at the moment, with a faint restlessness on his face.

"Fourth Master." Looking at Yuan Zhirui's back, Xiao Yunfeng couldn't help shouting softly, "Everything has been settled, Fourth Master, why..."

"No, I always feel that something is wrong." Yuan Zhirui suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Yunfeng, "I'm leaving Beijing this time..."

"Si Ye's going out of Beijing this time is the folk custom of visiting Bailu City unannounced. Si Ye visits in secret every day and does his best. The people of Bailu City see it..." Although Xiao Yunfeng was very concerned about Yuan Zhirui's trip to Bailu City, the so-called Unannounced visits to the people are very puzzling, but others have no room to comment on matters decided by the government.

"No, it's not." Yuan Zhirui frowned, walked a few more steps, and then stopped, "Uncle, have you noticed that since I appeared, Zhuang Zhipeng seldom stayed in the barracks. Part of the time, he stayed in his earl's mansion."

Xiao Yunfeng thought for a while, then nodded: "When the fourth master said it, I also remembered this. Zhuang Zhipeng seldom lives in his mansion."

"My fifth brother and I arrived in Bailu City. After our identities were leaked, all the officials and merchants in the city wanted to be relatives with me, but he always treated me indifferently, with no intention of getting close at all," Yuan Zhirui thought. After thinking about it, he continued, "There are two possibilities, one is to sell it for a price, and the other is not to take me to heart at all, he already has a better choice in his heart!"

"Fifth Master?!" Xiao Yunfeng said subconsciously.

Yuan Zhirui's brows tightened suddenly: "To tell you the truth, I also doubted it. This time when I came here, the old fifth, who had always been sloppy, suddenly proposed to follow. He never went out of Beijing before. He always I feel that only the prosperous place in the capital is the place where he should stay."

Yuan Zhirui said, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Since arriving at Jing'an Hou Mansion, strange things have happened one after another, until Brother Xuan and his wife died... This can't help but make people suspicious. The black hand is him."

The doubts in Yuan Zhirui's eyes deepened: "But he never meddles in government affairs, and Father never gives him a job. He has never had any ambitions for that position..."

"Fourth Master, I don't agree with what you said." Xiao Yunfeng cut Yuan Zhirui's words, "Fifth Master is also the son of an official family, and he also has a share in that position, why can't he be ambitious?! "

Xiao Yunfeng's words were a revelation to Yuan Zhirui, and he stopped suddenly, "Yeah, why can't he be ambitious?!"

"Fourth Master, think about it, if Fifth Master has ambitions for that position, but Fourth Master has no defense against him, he is secretly..." Xiao Yunfeng's voice suddenly sank, "It's about that position, Even my own brothers can't be trusted, the fifth master is just a half-brother with the fourth master!"

Yuan Zhirui clenched his hands tightly, with a look of sternness on his face: "If he is really ungrateful, then don't blame me for being rude!"

"Fourth Master, you must be cautious! Fifth Master's biological mother is just a humble court lady. If it hadn't been for Concubine Shu and Fourth Master to take care of him these years, it would be difficult for him to survive." Xiao Yunfeng's voice was a little hoarse, But the words were as ruthless as a knife, "For someone like Wu Ye who has stepped out of the mud step by step, he knows the importance of rights better than anyone else! Only by holding on to the rights tightly can we stop being bullied by others, and we can turn the old Only by trampling on those who have bullied him can he claim rights for his biological mother. Fourth Master, sometimes the people around you are the ones who need to be guarded most!"

"Uncle, I know what to do!" Yuan Zhirui's eyes suddenly sharpened, "If it's really him who is doing something behind the scenes, I will definitely let him know that the price of betraying me is not something he can bear!"
