Chapter 363: Bitterness Comes Sweetly
??“ My lord, this is the family background and interpersonal relationship of those two salt merchants and grain merchants. The next day, when Li Hongyu returned home, a guard bowed to him and handed him two pieces of paper.
Li Hongyu put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the two pieces of paper and looked at them intently, the salt merchant and the grain merchant in the guard's mouth naturally referred to the two merchants of the Salt Merchants Association and the Grain Merchants Association who bid at the auction site in the teahouse hall yesterday.
As soon as the two of them made a bid, Li Hongyu knew the identities of the two from the discussions of the people around him, one was Du Boqing, vice president of the Salt Merchants Association from Huizhou merchants, and the other was Liu Mingyuan, one of the three deacons of the Grain Merchants Association from the Huzhou Gang of Zhejiang merchants.
In the private chamber of commerce, the deacon is an important position second only to the vice president, so both Du Boqing and Liu Mingyuan are out-and-out famous businessmen, and the price of salt and grain will jump three times when they stomp their feet in their respective fields.
Li Hongyu didn't expect these pampered salt merchants and grain merchants with stable and rich economic resources to get involved in overseas trade, so Du Boqing and Liu Mingyuan's move really surprised him.
Therefore, Li Hongyu secretly ordered to investigate the background of Du Boqing and Liu Mingyuan, although he knew some information about the two, but unfortunately it was just some skin, since the two sides had to deal with each other in the future, then of course he needed to know more information about the two.
Li Hongyu deeply admired Du Boqing and Liu Mingyuan's keen sense of smell in the matter of Daming's overseas trade, and a big businessman like the two of them, who held the two cash cows of the salt and grain business, could make up his mind to participate in overseas trade that could not be beaten by eight poles, and he must not only have a unique vision, but also have enough courage.
At this moment, Du Boqing and Liu Mingyuan would not know that this would be the most important decision they would make in their lives, and the bet they made on overseas trade would pay off handsomely.
The most important thing is that the two caught up with Li Hongyu through overseas trade, and now they naturally don't realize how rare and wise this opportunity is.
"Pu Boqing's second son, Du Lanting, works as a servant in the county yahu house of Jiangdu County!"
After checking the two pieces of paper in his hand, Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and then said to the guard in a deep voice, "Go, send an anonymous report letter to Nanzhili Patrol Imperial History, report his corruption and perversion of the law, and fill his own pockets, presumably Patrol Imperial History will not let go of such a good opportunity to investigate the case." ”
"Obedience." Hearing this, the guard bowed to Li Hongyu and strode out the door.
"Remember, the materials for reporting Du Lanting should be detailed, and there will be unexpected gains from starting from his opponents in the yamen."
When the guard walked to the door, a cold light flashed in front of Li Hongyu's eyes, and he commanded in a deep voice, the person who did the most harm to Du Lanting was naturally his colleagues, although it was impossible for the other party to know all the secrets of Du Lanting, but as long as it was determined that it was related to a corruption case, then it was enough for the inspector to convict him of the crime.
Because of the most prosperous and wealthy market, Yangzhou is the city with the fastest pace of life in the Ming Dynasty, just a few days later, the overseas trade supplier quota auction conference was forgotten by the people in the city, and everyone began to pay attention to new anecdotes.
Li Hongyu is still calling friends in Yangzhou City, living a drunken life and dreaming of death every day, he wants to take advantage of the precious opportunity of the world's businessmen to gather in Yangzhou to expand his contacts in the business world, if you want to control the Ming business community, you must first integrate into this circle and break the forces one by one, only in this way will the businessmen take his lead as a leader.
Yang Li'er has not been heard from since she was taken away from the restaurant by the soldiers of the new army that day, and the third prince has tried his best to find out her whereabouts, which makes the third prince secretly worried and anxious, and he still can't let go of Yang Li'er in his heart.
Li Hongyu naturally didn't worry about Yang Li'er's situation, he knew very well where Yang Li'er went, because this was what he arranged.
Yang Li'er was taken by the soldiers of the new army to Yangzhou Mansion to see Lord Qincha that day, waited in the living room for a whole afternoon, and then was taken into a side room to rest, and spent the night tossing and turning.
Early the next morning, Yang Li'er was arranged by the soldiers of the new army to get into a carriage and gallop all the way, waiting for the carriage to stop and she knew that she had arrived in Huai'an.
At the Yamen of the Caoyun Governor in Huai'an, Yang Li'er saw Yang Xiaotian and his wife, two brothers, and the Yang family's family under house arrest in a courtyard, and they all seemed unharmed.
This made her feel a little relieved, it seemed that the news that Li Hongyu had inquired about before was very accurate, and she could know that Yang Xiaotian and the others were not suffering in prison.
After seeing her family, Yang Li'er thought that she was also going to be placed under house arrest here, but a New Army officer who didn't want to send her here read an official document to Yang Xiaotian.
In the official document, the case of the casino has been closed, and Lord Qincha decided to severely punish the perpetrators of the Cao Gang who offended the new army in the casino that night, but this case has nothing to do with Yang Xiaotian, so he decided to release him, and at the same time let him restrain his subordinates.
This made Yang Xiaotian, Yang Li'er and the others confused, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lord Qincha's gourd, and they were eager to kill Yang Xiao before, but now they suddenly wanted to let them go.
"Gang Leader Yang, you can go." After reading out the official document in his hand, the New Army officer turned to the side and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Xiaotian.
"Dare to ask this military master, why did Lord Qincha change his mind?" Yang Xiaotian came back to his senses and finally realized that he had regained his freedom, and then bowed his hand to the officer, asking tentatively, he could not understand the sudden change in Li Hongyu's attitude.
"Lord Qincha said, Gang Leader Yang has a good daughter, although she is a little arrogant and unreasonable, but for the sake of Gang Leader Yang's affairs, she sleeps in the open and works hard, and she can be regarded as a rare filial daughter."
Hearing this, the officer of the New Army glanced at Yang Li'er, who was standing aside and supporting the Lu family, and said to Yang Xiaotian with an expressionless face, "In addition, she has made the most correct choice, so Lord Qincha decided to open the net and no longer pursue the matter of the casino because of her commendable filial piety." ”
"In addition, Lord Qincha wants the official to tell you that someone pretended to be Miss Yang to assassinate Lord Qincha in Yangzhou City, hoping that Lord Qincha would kill you with this, Lord Qincha originally wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but considering that this matter started because of the Yang Gang Leader, I hope that the Yang Gang Leader can strictly investigate this matter and give Lord Qincha an explanation at that time."
Saying that, the officer of the new army mentioned another thing to Yang Xiaotian, Li Hongyu had already guessed that the person who secretly instructed people to carry out fake assassinations was Zhang Tieshan, since Zhang Tieshan was still knowledgeable and did not dare to let people shoot his palanquin with arrows, then he didn't bother to pay attention to this matter, and let Yang Xiaotian and Zhang Tieshan fight.
"Is that so?" Yang Xiaotian was still surprised at first that Lord Qincha mentioned Yang Li'er, and then he was taken aback, never expecting that Lord Qincha would be assassinated in Yangzhou City.
"Gang Leader Yang, please!" The officer didn't answer Yang Xiaotian, nodded and made a gesture of invitation again, and when Yang Xiaotian went out, he would naturally understand what happened.
"There is Master Lao, if there is anything that needs Yang's help in the future, you can send someone to Huai'an."
Yang Xiaotian knew from the officer's reaction that Li Hongyu's assassination in Yangzhou was true, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, arched his hand to the officer, and led his family to leave quickly, he had already lived in this courtyard enough, but he didn't want to stay for another second.
Besides, he has been under house arrest for so long, God knows what the Cao Gang has become now, and he has to go to preside over the overall situation.
To Yang Xiaotian's relief, the officer personally led the new army to send Yang Xiaotian's family to the Cao Gang General Hall, and they arrived with Yang Xiaotian's henchmen who had been captured by the people in the yamen before.
Yang Xiaotian stepped into the gate first, looking at the scenery in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he originally thought that he would be unable to escape, but he was released in a daze, just like Nan Ke's dream.
After the New Army officer sent Yang Xiaotian's family to the Cao Gang General Hall, he led the New Army soldiers and the government officials to leave, and Yang Xiaotian personally sent them outside the gate.
The street outside the door was full of people watching the excitement, and they all stretched their necks to look at Yang Xiaotian, chattering in private, no one thought that Yang Xiaotian would be let go.
"Go, buy a firecracker and put it at the door to drive away bad luck." Yang Xiaotian knew what the people were thinking, so he commanded a big man beside him in a deep voice, he wanted to tell the entire Huai'an City that Yang Xiaotian had returned unscathed.
"Helper, my subordinates will go down and buy a bunch of them, and they will have to be put in the evening." That big man was naturally Yang Xiaotian's henchman, and replied with a smile.
"These are extraordinary times, and we can't be too public." Yang Xiaotian waved his hand when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, after all, his case was decided by Lord Qincha, and if it was too public, wouldn't it mean to demonstrate to Lord Qincha.
Then, Yang Xiaotian turned around and entered the gate, and went straight to the back house, his heart was now full of suspicions, there were many things to ask Yang Li'er, and he didn't know what Yang Li'er had done that made Lord Qincha decide to let him go.
In the gazebo of the back house, Lu Shi took Yang Li'er's hand and asked for warmth, since no one has taken care of it these days, a thin layer of dust has fallen in the room, and it is better to stay outside before the people clean up.
During the period of house arrest, Lu was most worried about Yang Li'er, Yang Li'er is a girl's family, once something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable, she hopes that Yang Li'er can spend her life outside in peace.
God knows if Lord Qincha will take the life of the Yang family, you must know that Lord Qincha is a popular person in front of Emperor Wanli, it is easy to kill these civilians, and the forces that Yang Xiaotian relies on will definitely not risk angering Emperor Wanli to save Yang Xiaotian, it is said that Emperor Wanli's temper has become worse and worse since this year.
The Lu clan knew very well that Yang Xiaotian was just a chess piece in the eyes of those forces, not indispensable, and there was no Yang Xiaotian and Li Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaotian who could be used by them.
It's just that what Lu never imagined was that the person who saved Yang Xiaotian and the Yang family turned out to be Yang Li'er, who had always worried her, which was really unexpected and an out-and-out surprise.
