Seeing that Yan Hong was in a hurry, Wang Cuiqiao said again: "You stupid boy, really, you lack a lot of moral ideas on weekdays, and you coax those famous giants around, but why are you so good to me?" The better you are, the more I don't think I'm worthy of you. My origin is not unknown to your family, just Luo Longwen's level, how did you get through? Besides, what's the good thing about marrying into your family and being an aunt? Every move is governed by rules, and countless pairs of eyes look at you, exhausting people to death. ”

She kissed Yan Hong on the face and said, "Look how good it is now, I can cry if I want to, laugh if I want to, make trouble if I want to, and go crazy with you if I want to." But what about in the Prime Minister's House? I want to be close to you during the day, and I have a big woman in charge. Maybe just because I kissed you, I was subjected to family law, what's the point? I know how to read and write, and I can manage the accounts, so it's more than enough for you to be an internal bookkeeper. ”

She was originally from a large family, and later received systematic training in the Shangxing Academy, and can write good calligraphy and even have the ability to count. Xu Hai's huge foundation can be taken care of in an orderly manner, and there is no problem when he is an internal memory room. Seeing Yan Hong nodding, Wang Cuiqiao said, "That's right, I'll be an internal memory room for you." After taking revenge in Yangzhou, I will live in Yangzhou, run an industry for you, and when Jiangnan opens a port in the future, you will be able to make a lot of money. Besides, I have a saying, don't be angry, if Xu Lang has no place in the future, he has an industry, which can also provide for him for the rest of his life. If you miss me, come to me, do whatever you want, everything depends on you. ”

Yan Hong saw that she had made up her mind, and thought that it was a good thing to have such a shrewd and capable secretary. Especially this office temptation. It's also not emotional. He immediately laughed and said, "Since that's the case." I have exactly 3,000 salt leads. Give it to Cui Qiao, make a capital. ”

Wang Cuiqiao was not polite, nodded and said: "Then I will accept it, with this, it is much more convenient to bring private salt, this time to Yangzhou, we still have to cut the salt merchant." Get some more salt and bring it back. ”

When she was in Yangzhou, she was bullied by the salt merchant Zhang Bancheng, and then she was forced to flee by Zhang Bancheng, so she met Luo Longwen, and then met Xu Hai. This time in Yangzhou, in addition to dealing with Li Wenzao, he also had to clean up Zhang Bancheng. This Bancheng had a wild saying at the beginning, Lao Tzu had 73,000 salt citations, all of which were Huaibei salt, and they were led by these salts. Slowly, it's your little prostitute, it's a golden branch and jade leaf. I can ride too. This time when he went to Yangzhou, Wang Cuiqiao already had a plan in his heart, how could he make 50,000 salt for this bad brother, even if he didn't become an official one day, he could continue to enjoy his wealth.

Yan Hong and Wang Cuiqiao struggled for a while, got up to find Hu Zongxian to resign, and Sai Zhaojun came in with a red face and cleaned up the house. Wang Cuiqiao said very generously: "Sai Zhaojun, I'm not afraid of you knowing the way." Yan Hong stayed with me last night, and the two of us did what you wanted. Are you very hot-eyed and want to show off your skills? ”

Sai Zhaojun hurriedly knelt down in fright and said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave knows her identity and doesn't dare to compete with you for favor." ”

Wang Cuiqiao stretched out her hand to hook her chin, looked at it for a while and said, "Don't say it, it's really good." In this industry, I am actually your senior. I know the hardships very well, and I won't deliberately embarrass you. But don't think about flying on the branches, I tell you, you're not worthy! Do a good job in the future, and I'll give you a good way out. Ah Hong has two companions around him, known as the Yellow River Shuangxia, and he is an old team that shares weal and woe, and he is also known as a brother, and he may have great achievements in the future. If you serve well, I will let Ah Hong be the master, and match you to one of them, which is also a good destination. If you act recklessly, I will ask Ah Hong to send you to the camp prostitutes, and vent the anger of thousands of people who have survived the camp, understand? ”

Sai Zhaojun was sifted by the fate of heaven and hell, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave knows the way, and the slave knows the way." ”

In the side room, Yun Chuqi and Ye Zhengfei had just argued about whether the art of war was powerful or firearms, and they beat each other again with blue noses and swollen faces, wiping nosebleeds and wrapping wrists. Suddenly, both of them sneezed a few times in a row, and for a while nosebleeds and wound medicine sprayed all over the room. The two looked at each other. Yun Chu said: "Weird, weird. Ye Zhengfei said: "Which lady thinks of me Ye, but why is your big brother Yun like this?" ”

The governor Hu Zongxian saw Yan Hong's resignation and said that he would go to Yangzhou to arrest Li Wenzao. He didn't keep it. just pointed out that the Yangzhou side really didn't find the exact whereabouts of Li Wenzao, and even if Li Wenzao was still in Yangzhou, he didn't dare to completely conclude. Although there are some clues that Li Wenzao's party seems to be in Yangzhou, it can be judged by common sense that since Li Wenzao went to Taizhou before, he does not seem to have a reason to go to Yangzhou to throw himself into the net. Some of his clans have been caught now, and they can't say his specific whereabouts. One possibility is that it is suspected that someone in the city of Yangzhou is sheltering him, and Yangzhou is the first wealthy gathering place in the country, and the richest group in the entire Ming Dynasty: salt merchants, among which the leaders are gathered in Yangzhou. These people have a lot of money and strength, and the soldiers always dare not force themselves to search and arrest people, so it is a stalemate.

When he said this, he could be regarded as clearing up the relationship for himself, and he didn't want Yan Hong to hate himself for not arresting Li Wenzao immediately. Seeing that Yan Hong was not annoyed, Hu Zongxian secretly breathed a sigh and said: "I have prepared a thousand sons here for my son, and there is also a battalion of Zhejiang soldiers stationed in Yangzhou, as well as five hundred pacesetters led by my family's Baiqi San'er. Even the three battalions of Zaoyong rebelled together, and they also held back. As long as Li Wenzao is really in Yangzhou, he will definitely not be able to run. ”

The one responsible for the defense of Yangzhou was originally the guard post in Yangzhou, but later the guard post was eroded and not very reliable. These salt merchants were rich, so they were naturally more afraid of being robbed, so they first raised funds to build the inner city wall, and then funded the formation of three battalions of stove yong, and took the stove households that boiled salt as the target of recruitment, and exercised them, and the required military salaries were mainly borne by the salt merchants, and the command was in the hands of the government.

Since the salaries of the soldiers and horses of the three battalions were paid by the salt merchants, the possibility of transferring them to other places to fight was not high, and it basically belonged to Yangzhou's garrison strength. Its ordnance and equipment are not weak, with an establishment of 9,000 in three battalions and about 7,000 actual soldiers, and it also belongs to a well-known armed force in the south of the Yangtze River. Although nominally under the command of the imperial court, the salt merchants also had a great deal of control over this force.

Yan Hong has no worries about this. Now is the era of peace and prosperity, and it is not a warlord scuffle, Lao Tzu is the emperor's order, and the sinner who catches the royal pen of the heavenly family, who dares to stop it? Do these salt merchants want to rebel? Moreover, even the five thousand true Japanese soldiers with them were wiped out, and the three battalions were still in their eyes? Plus the standard camp, I'm afraid of a few hairs! Therefore, he shouted: "If it is a big fanfare, I am afraid that I will startle the snake." Let the brigade set off later, and set up a guard of honor, and I will follow the car lightly and go to visit first. In fact, whether Li Wenzao can get it or not, he is not completely spectrum. It's just that since the holy decree of the imperial court has come down, so arrogant, killing chickens and scaring monkeys, always has to make such a fuss.

Hu Zongxian was worried about Yan Hong's safety, so he first transferred Luo Shangzhi to accompany him with 50 Zhejiang soldiers, and Yan Hong brought 20 good men from Yang Daye and Wei Guo's family, as well as Zeng Shifang and others, a total of 150 people as the front station, and the other brigades then advanced with the Qincha honor guard. To say that this one hundred and fifty people is a small unit as an army, but in terms of micro-service, it is not a small number. They are also divided into several teams, some pretend to be dart masters, some pretend to be entertainers, some pretend to be porters, etc.

Yan Hong is dressed as a young and wealthy businessman, surrounded by the Yellow River Shuangxia, Yan Feng, Yan Fu, Hua, Geng's second daughter, Wang Cuiqiao, Saizhao monarch servant, and several followers of Wang Cuiqiao, Zeng Shifang's father and son and the elite of Wenzhou martial arts heroes, etc., a total of more than 60 people, with more than a dozen cages, went straight to Yangzhou by boat. The other teams are in front and back.

Gu Shiyun: Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou. Yan Hong is now wrapped around his waist more than 100,000 yuan, as for riding a crane, Yan Hong said that riding a beauty is much more comfortable than riding a crane. Although Hua and Geng Ernu saw that Yan Hong and Wang Cuiqiao were fighting hotly, they felt a little apprehensive, but they thought that they were not genuine girls, and they couldn't compare with Wang Cuiqiao's style, so they could only accept their fate. It's just that when it's his sister's turn, he uses all his strength, and he can't wait to squeeze the old man dry, so as not to cheapen that Wang Cuiqiao.

However, Wang Cuiqiao was quite magnanimous, and from time to time drove Yan Hong to accompany Hua and Geng's second daughter, and said to the two of them: "My identity, you also know the way, it's okay to mess around with him, if you say enter the door, you can't." You don't have to guard against me, but you have to be careful, this Yangzhou comes out of the skinny horse, if Ah Hong is fascinated by the skinny horse, buy a few and take it home, you will cry and can't find a place. ”

When the two daughters heard this, they both nodded and said, "What my sister said is very true. Just turned their heads, and the two said in private: "Although the thin horse and the foreign soldier must be on guard, Wang Cuiqiao and other guest soldiers must be even more vigilant, otherwise the master will be hooked sooner or later." ”

Everyone came to Yangzhou on this day, Zeng Shifang did private salt business in Wenzhou, and also went to Yangzhou to worship colleagues, and he was quite familiar here, so he acted as a guide. Those who disguised themselves to protect were all mixed in the crowd to accompany them, and Yan Hong's team numbered about 60 people, but Yangzhou was a big city with a million household registrations at this time. There are many businessmen who come and go, and he is not very conspicuous along the way.

In such a prosperous place, there is no shortage of inns, Zeng Shifang Suli lives in the Four Seas Inn every day, and is very familiar with the boss here, so he leads everyone to this inn to live. After the livestock and luggage were stored, Yan Hong thought about the news of the visit to Li Wenzao's brothers. But he's not Sherlock Holmes, so how can this search be so easy? It's nothing more than to inquire about some folk news first, to see if the blind cat can meet the dead mouse.

Over there, Zeng Shifang had already chatted with the boss. This boss is a chattering person, and as soon as three or five sentences passed, he started a chatterbox: "I said Zeng Daxia, it's good if you come." If you come a few days late, I'm afraid that someone in that family will jump off Baoyang Lake, you are a well-known hero, and only you can save them. ”

Zeng Shifang said in his heart: How many times have I, a hero, ever seen righteousness and bravery? I really don't know what to say. But in front of the Qin Cha, he couldn't fall off his own stage, so he had to say: "Where did the shopkeeper Ji come from, Zeng Moujie Wufu, what great things can be done, you can come and see," he pointed at Yan Hong with his hand and said: "This is my son-in-law, I am now a long-term follower to his old man, this is the person who really has the ability and strength." As long as he is willing to make a move, any kind of trouble can be solved, much stronger than my old Zeng. (To be continued......)
