Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 674
He Wuqi picked up another voucher and said, "This is 5000 taels of salt, and it's a voucher issued by Hongtong Cabinet."

Upon hearing the words Hongtong Cabinet, Di Renjie raised his head and glanced at He Wuqi: "Hongtong Cabinet?"

He Wuqi nodded, smiled slyly and said, "Exactly. It's the same as the 10 taels of silver letter you showed Wuqi last night. It was all issued by Hongtong Guifang."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and said to He Wuqi: "It seems that you and I really have a good understanding."

He Wuqi said mysteriously: "Looking at your letter of proof last night, Wuqi wanted to say that with the 10 taels of cash issued by Hongtong Cabinet, we can go to Crouching Tiger Village to buy salt without any problem! "

Di Renjie was interested and asked, "Oh, but why?"

He Wuqi said: "You don't know something. There is only one way for Crouching Tiger Village to accept salt money, and that is to only accept the flying money issued by Hongtong Cabinet with a letter."

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

Di Renjie asked: "Oh, it must be Hongtong Cabinet?"

He Wuqi said: "That's right. Crouching Tiger Village doesn't accept anything from other cabinet shops."

Di Renjie took a deep breath, looked at Zeng Tai and said, "This is strange. Why only charge Hongtong counters for the same flying money?"

He Wuqi said: "I don't know."

Di Renjie said: "What about the cash, you can always trade cash, right?"

He Wuqi shook his head and said: "No way. As I said just now, except for the letter from Hongtong Cabinet, all others are rejected."

After hearing He Wuqi's words, Wang Mang frowned and fell into deep thought.

Di Renjie asked puzzledly: "Cash transaction is the best way. It's a one-off sale. There is no record, and there are no clues to check, but this Crouching Tiger Village doesn't even accept cash. It's really weird." and also!"

He Wuqi nodded and said: "I have been doing business with Crouching Tiger Village for several years, and this is what puzzles Wuqi.

Every time before I go to Crouching Tiger Village, I have to go to Yangzhou first, deposit the money in Hongtong Cabinet, and then go to pick up the salt with the letter issued by Hongtong Cabinet. "

Zeng Tai laughed and said: "What's the reason for this, it's really unnecessary!"

He Wuqi said: "Who says it's not! But this is the iron rule of Crouching Tiger Village, and it is absolutely not allowed to be changed. If you want to do business with them, you can only do business like this. If you think about it, there must be some private transaction between Hongtong Cabinet and Crouching Tiger Village .”

Wang Mang nodded: "It's possible!"

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "That's it... It seems that you and I are destined, otherwise, why did the old man only bring the letter from Hongtong Cabinet to Xuyi?"

He Wuqi said: "Exactly. Based on this alone, Wuqi can guarantee that our trip to Crouching Tiger Village will be absolutely smooth!"

Di Renjie replied: "That's good."

He Wuqi said: "Sir, tomorrow morning, Wuqi will get up and rush to Crouching Tiger Village, and discuss with Master Ge about the two of us going together."

Di Renjie nodded: "That's great. Wu Qi has worked hard."

He Wuqi said: "Hey, what did you say, sir? This is all Wuqi's job."

Before the words finished, He Jing's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, the county magistrate is here to pay a visit!"

He Wuqi was taken aback: "What is he here for?"

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Wu Qi, since the county magistrate is here to visit, the two of us will take our leave first."

He Wuqi hurriedly put Tieka and Pingxin into the gall bottle, put them back in the antique shelf, then turned to Di Renjie and said, "Sir, Wuqi is setting up a banquet in the back garden at noon, and the two of you must come."

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "Then let me bother you."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the door with Wang Mang and Zeng Tai, He Wuqi opened the door, and the four of them came out.

Wen Qing was waiting outside the main hall, when he saw the four of Di Renjie coming out, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Huai, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Zeng."

Di Renjie and the two bowed their hands in return: "Master County Magistrate."

He Wuqi rushed forward and said: "The county magistrate has come to the humble house, and the fluffy plants are shining!"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "I have a few words I want to say to Shopkeeper He."

He Wuqi stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please come in."

Wen Qing glanced at Di Renjie, nodded, and walked into the hall with He Wuqi.

Di Renjie nodded slightly, and walked towards the back garden with Wang Mang and Zeng Tai.

……

There are four courtyards in the back garden of He Zhai. The first courtyard is lived by Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Zeng Tai, Lu Jiying, Ning Shi and others.

Di Chun, Fang Jiu, Zhang Huan, Li Lang and other guards lived in the last three.

Fang Jiu and his daughter Xiaolan are playing in the courtyard.

Zhang Huan walked in and said, "Brother Fang Jiu."

Fang Jiu went forward to meet him: "Brother Zhang Huan, what's the matter?"

Zhang Huan said: "Sir, please go."

Fang Jiu nodded and said, "Please take care of Xiaolan for me."

Zhang Huan picked up Xiao Lan'er and laughed, "Good girl, uncle let you ride a big horse!"

Saying that, putting Xiao Lan on her neck, Xiao Lan'er giggled.

Fang Jiu looked at the two of them with a smile, and walked quickly towards Yijin's courtyard.

Di Renjie was walking slowly in the hall.

Fang Jiu walked in, bowed and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Fang Jiu, you've been busy all day long, and you haven't taken care of your father and daughter. How is everything going?"

Fang Jiu said: "Where did the sir say, everyone treats my father and daughter like relatives."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Fang Jiu, do you still remember that old Uncle Lu in Shanggou Village once said that someone from your village went to Huaibei to become a salt owl?"

Fang Jiudao: "Yes, Old Uncle Lu is talking about Brother Pang in the village."

"Pang Si?"

"Yes. What's the matter, sir?"

Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, the door opened. Wang Mang and Zeng Tai walked in and said, "Sir, Yuan Fang and the others have arrived."

Di Renjie nodded, and Fang Jiu said, "Fang Jiu, follow me."

With that said, Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others came to the main room of the second courtyard.

Li Yuanfang and several others were placed here.

Peng Chun has been placed on the sick bed, and Li Lang is placing some medical tools on the small table beside the bed.

Li Yuanfang, Xiaoqing, Pang Si, Lu Jiying, Ning Shi and others were sitting on chairs talking about something.

As soon as Wang Mang and Di Renjie came in, everyone hurriedly got up to meet them.

Di Renjie said to Li Yuanfang with concern: "How is it, Mizuki, are you satisfied here?"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Thank you sir, very good."

Before the words fell, Fang Jiu behind him exclaimed: "Fourth Brother Pang!"

Surprised, everyone looked at Fang Jiu in unison.

Fang Jiu rushed in front of Pang Si and said, "Brother Pang, it's really you!"

Pang Si was even more astonished, he stammered: "You, you are Brother Fang Jiu!"

Fang Jiu said, "It's me."

Pang Si grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Fang Jiu, you, why are you here?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, Xiao Qing asked, "Brother Pang Da, do you know each other?"
