Chapter 326: Shocking Change

At night, the sky was already dark, and a row of lanterns was hung on the old street of Wuxiang, and the whole street looked deserted. The cook at the Xilai Inn was already busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Lingxi and Amber were cleaning up together in the courtyard. Qiu Zhen, who was lively and quick-mouthed, got Zhang Yue's orders, and at this time he was asking the boss Chu Yun outside, and the two guys who were sweeping the floor next to him also interjected a sentence from time to time.

"Boss, I heard that there are often Japanese robbers in the coastal area of Zhejiang, but have these Japanese robbers come to Songjiang Mansion?"

Although this is from the north to the south coast, Zhejiang is the most, and it has to make trouble every year. Our Songjiang Mansion is considered Jiangsu, but it doesn't provoke the Japanese invaders much, only a few years ago, there was a fuss, but fortunately, there were dozens of people who went ashore, and it didn't take much effort to lay down the sea for the official army. Only a few fishing villages by the sea suffered, and the loss was not small. ”

"Everyone is screaming in their mouths, they are real Japanese people?"

Fan Gou'er on the side couldn't help but interject: "Then is there a fake?" All of them have such ugly shaved hair, and their mouths are full of words that we don't understand, they must all be thieves from the Wa Kingdom? Girl, are you worried about the widows? Don't worry, since I can remember, Songjiang Mansion has only been the only time that there has been a trouble, and even if there is, it will never come to our Songjiang Prefecture in Shanghai County on a cold day, after all, the garrison near here is very tight! Now there are no merchants who collect cotton cloth, so what kind of oil and water do we have in these inns......"

"Stinky boy, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!"

Chu Yunben still felt that Fan Gou'er was clever, and when he heard the last sentence, he was immediately angry. After scolding and scolding the people away, he smiled at Qiu Zhen and said: "Don't worry, girl, there are a total of 4,000 households on the edge of our sea pond, and the armament of 4,000 people, even if the Japanese really come, they can't please it!" Even if you live with us, Jiangnan is the land of wealth of the imperial court, and nothing can happen! ”

"You have done a good job with this guarantee, and if the guests in the hotel hear you say this, they will probably be convinced."

Seeing Zhang Yue enter the lobby through the side door, Chu Yun hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Childe, if it weren't for our safety here, I would dare to guarantee the ticket casually?" Thanks to you, there were two more groups of guests in our store this afternoon, one was a businessman who came to Huaiyang to prepare to go to Ningbo Mansion, and the other was a bold son. By the way, you have been going out every day these days, all of which are going to Yang's house? ”

After going to Yang's Mansion once, Zhang Yue only brought one Hu Qi to follow him in the past ten days, and went to several guards with the waist card of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si - Hengzhi This time it was something given by Lu Feng, and he was not afraid that someone would see that he was related to Jinyi Wei - after a big circle, he couldn't help but feel that although the guards along the coast of Daming were not ineffective, they were still not much different from the Beijing camp that escorted him south this time. After all, it is unrealistic to expect elite soldiers everywhere in a peaceful and prosperous world.

In addition, he also got a shocking news from Jinyiwei, that is, a few days ago, Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, suddenly ordered the trial opening of the sea ban from Ningbo City, which caused an uproar. Although the news on the official side has not yet reached Songjiang, the private channels should be extremely fast, and the people who should know it already know, and the means that should be used should also be used.

At this time, he smiled, sat down at a table next to the counter, and sighed intentionally or unintentionally: "Where do I dare to go there every day?" Just a few days ago, I went to the Yang family's mansion, but I went to meet the old man Yang at the invitation of others, but the second young master looked at me as if I was an enemy, what a good reason! I heard that Old Man Yang wanted the two brothers to live together in the future, but he insisted on splitting the family, why should the brothers be like this! ”

Seeing that the uncle of the Yang family came to visit Zhang Yue in person, Chu Yun vaguely felt that the owners of the hotel this time had some origins, and when he heard this, he felt that his guess was right. After agreeing at this time, he looked around, and saw that several guys had gone up to clean up, so he simply sat down on a stool next to Zhang Yue.

"It's not that I'm gossiping behind my back, the second young master of the Yang family is very powerful! I heard that when he used to manage the family's cloth business, several opponents were inexplicably suffering one after another, either the house was burned or the family died, although the government did not find out that the matter was related to him, but in the end everyone said that he was a plague god. Because of this, Mr. Yang sent people to take care of industries in other places, so he was not at home for three days. He also always complained that Old Man Yang was too conservative, and the Yang family was not in the limelight in Jiangnan and the Yan family in Ningbo Prefecture. Childe, you are new to the city, so it's better not to worry about the affairs of the Yang family. ”

"The old man of the Yang family in Songjiang Mansion is very courageous, but his son is really not talented, what is there to fight for in this family property? The imperial court has just opened the sea ban, and there are many ways to make money in the future, so can you keep an eye on the ancestral industry? If you want me to say, Mr. Yang can't train his son, but he has a vision to choose a son-in-law, and his son-in-law is much better than his two sons! The Shandong Dongfang family is now so famous, I heard that they are also going to plug in Huaiyan. ”

With the sound of creaking footsteps on the stairs, the words came out clearly. Zhang Yue looked up, and saw that walking in front was a young man wearing an eggplant purple silk jacket, shaking a plain landscape folding fan in his hand, his face was like an autumn moon and the corners of his lips were smiling, but he only revealed an indescribable arrogance. And it was a slightly chubby middle-aged man who was left behind, with a kind smile on his face, but there was a little conceit in his smile.

The young man came down the stairs, looked Zhang Yue up and down, and his eyes immediately fell on Qiu Zhen next to him, the folding fan closed suddenly, and then nodded arrogantly to Zhang Yue: "You are the one who chartered the small cross-courtyard and let us only live in the upper room on the second floor?" Just now I heard a woman's voice downstairs upstairs, but I didn't want to be a beautiful girl, and the color was actually better...... Tsk, I gave fifty taels of silver, how about you give me people? ”

Qiu Zhen was ashamed and annoyed when he heard this, and instinctively opened his mouth to ridicule him, but when he saw Zhang Yue's lost eyes, he thought of the rules that he had always had in front of people, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and stood aside and sulked to himself. Just as she was secretly cursing the guy with eyes on the top of her head, she heard a cold voice.

"Since Zunjia likes to judge people with money, and his eyesight must not be bad, why don't you take a look at how much this piece of medicine on me is worth?"

The young man came from a wealthy background, and his eyes were always above the top, and when he heard this, he immediately sneered. Seeing that Zhang Yue's big coat looked black and inconspicuous, he laughed and said, "It's just an ordinary product, worth more than a dozen yuan at most." ”

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged fat man stepped forward and looked at Zhang Yue's shoulder carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up: "As the saying goes, there is Gu Rong in the north, and there is Nu Ge in the south, this seems to be the best Lanzhou Gu Rong?" Tsk, this son, you are afraid that you will not be able to use a piece of material, and it is enough to get hundreds of dollars, which is really magnificent! ”

Zhang Yue saw that the young man's face stiffened, so he said lightly: "Even hundreds of thousands of such clothes are not as good as my little finger of loving maid." ”

At this moment, except for the middle-aged man who was still guessing the workmanship of Zhang Yue's body as if he hadn't heard it, both the young man and the boss Chu Yun were stunned, and Qiu Zhen was full of joy, until she saw Zhang Yue angrily throwing a look at this side, she turned around and slipped back with a small step. Seeing that the atmosphere in this room was deadlocked, the middle-aged man hurriedly coughed dryly.

"Wang Gongzi was just joking, Zhang Gongzi, please don't be surprised." He is a character who is extremely good at dealing with people, and he gently and skillfully diverted the topic after playing a round, "I heard the shopkeeper say that Zhang Gongzi was ordered by his father to go to Songjiang Mansion to prepare for business?" Speaking of which, you are really well-informed, and I just learned that the imperial court opened the sea ban and hurried over, I didn't expect that someone was faster than me! It's just that you stop in Songjiang Mansion for a few days, aren't you in a hurry to go to Ningbo? ”

"I still take a beautiful maid with me when I travel, I guess I can't miss it in Songjiang, where do I still have any big things to worry about?" For the first time in his life, he was ridiculed in this way, and the young man ignored the fact that the middle-aged man was playing a round, and angrily put down a cool sentence, and then flicked his sleeves and went upstairs. After walking a few steps and seeing that the middle-aged merchant had not followed, he couldn't help but be annoyed and asked coldly, "Old Ma, do you want me to introduce you to that Wang Gonggong after you arrive in Ningbo?" ”

The middle-aged man originally looked at Zhang Yue as if he had some background, and wanted to make friends with him so that he could do something for the future, who would have thought that this prince who was easy to make friends would have such an attitude. Although he was very angry in his heart, he was a businessman, but he didn't dare to offend such an important person, so he had to smile apologetically to Zhang Yue.

For this situation, Chu Yun, who has been running the inn for many years, is no longer surprised, so he stands behind the counter and is silent. At this moment, he suddenly heard a continuous sound of gongs outside, and all of a sudden his hair exploded. He didn't care about the reaction of the other three people here, and an arrow stepped out from behind the counter and rushed to the door.

"The Wokkers are coming, the Wokkers are coming! Close the doors and windows and take precautions! ”

As the sound of the gong became louder and louder, the shouting in the silent night sky suddenly became clear. Hearing this news, Chu Yun suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and when he turned his head, he only saw that the merchant surnamed Ma and the prince in the store were all stunned, and Zhang Yue had already rushed out, and immediately crossed himself to the street.

Seeing that the husband with the torch in his hand had already run away, Zhang Yue couldn't help but twist his eyebrows. The next moment, he noticed that someone was running out again, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Hu Qi and Zhu Zhanji who had assigned him four guards. By the faint light of the lantern in front of the inn, he saw that the four guards were all dead and calm, so he spoke calmly:

"Boss Chu has already said just now that there are very few widows in Songjiang Mansion, and there should be no widows at this time. However, Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County, and Huating County do not have city walls, and once they come, they can drive straight in. Fortunately, I have been to Baoshan Office, Wusongjiang Office, Nanhuizui Zhonghou Office, and Qingcun Zhongqian Institute before, and the garrisons are quite tight, so even if the Japanese invaders come, they should be able to respond in time. All in all, don't panic first, you are all carefully selected good players in the avant-garde of the government army, go down the door first and hold on, and prepare the fire and sword! ”
