Chapter 325: The Interview (I)
Liu Han asked the shopkeepers of the porter trading companies at each wharf in detail, these shopkeepers were all selected from the porters themselves, and neither the shipping company nor the wind and rain building sent anyone in, Liu Han felt that this would not work, and there might be chaos in the future.
"We're still going to send people in, and they don't pay us, but the problem is that if we don't send people in, people will take advantage of it, and then we'll be passive. ”
"But we've just negotiated with them, and if we send someone in now, there could be a backlash. Lao Huang was a little worried, but Xiao Yu nodded in support: "Brother Liu is very worried, if we don't move, others will move, I think so, I still have a bit of a false reputation in Fengyulou, so let Chu Fei come forward and gather those porters to have a second meal, how does Brother Liu feel." ”
"Is Chu Fei's injury healed?" Liu Han asked, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "His injury is completely healed, thanks to your elixir, his cultivation has advanced one level, and now that he has reached the peak of the eighth grade, it is time to go out and do something." ”
"That's okay, let Chu Fei come forward, well, bring Liu Gang. Liu Han said: "Chu Fei will be of other use in the future, the porter must have someone to contact, let Liu Gang go, and you will find someone to take over in the future." ”
"Okay, that's it. Xiao Yu got up, and Liu Han added: "Tell Chu Fei to discuss with Lao Huang tomorrow what to do." ”
"Good!"
Xiao Yu staggered out, Lao Huang watched his back disappear, and then sighed softly, neither of them spoke, the wind blew, the bamboo forest made a rustling sound, and the yard became a little forested.
After being silent for a while, Liu Han said faintly: "Today, I saw his face. ”
Lao Huang's eyes lit up first, and then he was silent.
"Not that person. Liu Han sighed deeply, looking very confused: "But the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is that person, the smell on his body is so familiar, what is the problem?"
"No, it's not, thinking about it every day, dreaming at night, aren't you too anxious. Lao Huang reassured.
Liu Han was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "I'm already very careful, I'm afraid that I will be impulsive and make a mistake." ”
Lao Huang sighed softly, he knew that Liu Han was a very cautious person, for decades, this was the most cautious person he knew, perhaps, it was because his enemies were very strong, very powerful, so he was cautious.
Liu Han leaned back on the chair and looked up at the night sky, the night sky was not deep, there were a few stars blinking on the canopy, the curved moon hung obliquely on the horizon, and the scenes of the past days flashed in front of him.
Lao Huang drank tea quietly, he didn't look at the sky, but at Liu Han, this face was whiter than when he first met, but if he looked closely, there was always a faint melancholy between his eyebrows.
"The song is complete, the vain is straight, the depression is profitable, the new is new, and the more is confused. It is a saint holding one for the world. Lao Huang finally broke the silence and said in a loud voice: "The saint holds one for the world, what is the one, keep the purpose in his heart, don't be confused by the outside, don't be confused by the impulse in his heart, proprietor, we are not in a hurry, now that we are on the right path, he will rise sooner or later." ”
"That's the case," Liu Han still looked up at the sky: "But who can completely keep that one." ”
"Then try to guard it," Lao Huang said, "Take the Hundred Workshops as an example, why is it so mysterious? This is not normal, there must be a reason behind it; second, why are the two so similar, could it be that they are brothers? or are they the apprentices of that person?"
Liu Han's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that Lao Huang was right, this is completely possible, and he suddenly had an idea, if only he could lure the shopkeeper to make a move once, Li Yan is often fierce, don't they all recognize it from the tricks.
"You're right, I'm in the middle of the game, and I'm fascinated by the game. Liu Han smiled, Lao Huang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Liu Han would do something stupid under impulse.
After the thought passed, Liu Han's mind came alive again, he turned his head to look at Lao Huang and said, "Do you know where he lives?"
Lao Huang shook his head, and Liu Han smiled: "Welcome guest residence, welcome guest residence at the north pier of the city!"
"Welcome guest residence?" Lao Huang was still confused at first, then his eyes widened, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Welcome guest residence!!"
Liu Han nodded meaningfully, cold sweat broke out on Lao Huang's back, and his heart trembled: "What is he going to do?!!! what does he want to do!!"
"Yes," Liu Han said, "What does he want to do?" Lao Huang, it seems that we still underestimate him, he has a big plan!"
Lao Huang understood in an instant, that the green bamboo was probably not an internal guard, but, or maybe it was sent by that person, the green bamboo was first sent to Xi Feng's side, but it was accidentally detected, Xi Feng didn't dare to ask for it, and he mistakenly arrived at Liu Han's side, according to the monitoring of Liu Mansion, that Yingkeju was an intelligence transit point, and now it seems that Yingkeju is not the point of the internal guard, but the point set by that person.
According to the monitoring of Liufu, the rouge gouache shop responsible for Luzhu's contact is also responsible for liaising with many maidservants in the mansion, even if half of them are his eyeliner in various mansions, the scale is very terrifying.
"Has she been out lately?"
Lao Huang thought about it and shook his head, Liu Han thought for a while and said: "She should go out, she will definitely go out, they want to know my movements, and Xiao Qi, no, it can't be Xiao Qi, it can't be Brother Tiger, you have to find someone else." ”
Lao Huang smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to me, hehe, this person has been laid out for more than ten years, his subordinates are like clouds, and he is rich in the world, I really want to know what he wants to do." ”
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Liu Han got up as he spoke, stretched his waist, as if putting down a heavy burden, smiled, and walked out of the yard.
That night, he lived in Qingjin's small courtyard again, enjoyed Qingjin's gentleness, and carefully observed Luzhu, her behavior was normal, and she didn't seem to have received instructions yet.
There was nothing to say for a night, and the next day, he went to Cao Yingmao, Duzhi, and checked the guards, and some people began to come to repay the money today, but they all owed less, and the largest one was only two hundred taels of silver, including Ding Xuan, those who owed tens of thousands of taels of silver did not come to pay back.
Liu Han wondered a little, why Xue Mi hadn't paid it back yet, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that Xue Mi might still be making money, and his cousin, who was the queen, didn't know if she could help him with some money.
The king of Yanping County only came here in the morning today, and then he didn't know where to go, Liu Han left quietly in the afternoon, anyway, there is nothing to do with Duzhi Cao now, and if there is something to do, it is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
Drunken maple building is a more famous restaurant in the inner city, the shopkeeper is a person named Jing Zheng, this restaurant is not the kind of high-rise building, but a garden-style restaurant, the whole restaurant does not have a two-storey building, each small courtyard is hidden in all kinds of maple trees, when the maple tree is in bloom, the courtyard is full of fiery red maple leaves, look at it from afar, you can only see red once.
Xiao Er led Liu Han to the Huifeng Dance Theater, and there was a faint sound of the piano in the maple forest, but other than that, there was no other sound.
Walking through the maple forest and into the courtyard, Liu Han observed, this courtyard is actually very simple, whether it is decoration or layout, it is very simple, but it highlights a nature, all the buildings are built according to the maple tree, there is no damage to the maple forest, and it does not affect the scenery of the entire yard.
There were two little eunuchs standing at the door of the dining room, this dining room was not big, the two little eunuchs did not stop him from entering, Liu Han pushed the door in, and there was already an old eunuch with a white beard sitting at the top in the room, while Gonggong Lin was sitting at the bottom, and Gonggong Mai and the other two sturdy men stood behind the eunuch with white hair.
Liu Han was stunned, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and bowed: "Humble to meet Father-in-law Mu." ”
"How do you know it's me?" asked Gong Mu fairly.
"Gonggong Lin can only sit under you, the two adults behind you have cultivated profoundly, look at their bearing, they have crossed the threshold, and in this courtyard, there are eight masters lurking everywhere, and the last time I was ordered to see Gonggong Lin, there was no such strict guard. Liu Han said calmly.
Father-in-law Mu looked at Father-in-law Lin, Father-in-law Lin bowed slightly, the teacup in front of him did not move at all, Father-in-law Mu nodded slightly, and Father-in-law Mai said on the side: "Ancestor sit." ”
"This place is quiet, this is another industry of internal guards," Father-in-law Mu's tone was calm, Liu Han sat down cross-legged across from him, listening calmly, Father-in-law Mu paused and asked, "You have another identity, called...."
"Liu Mo. Liu Han added, and Grandpa Mu hummed lightly: "That's the name." ”
After speaking, he looked at Liu Han, and Liu Han explained: " This identity was taken by chance, when Xiao Yu found me, to join forces with me to deal with the Cao Gang, I am a businessman, I didn't want to participate in the battle of the rivers and lakes, but Cao Yun has huge interests, and I feel that with the support of the palace, it should not be difficult, but the Cao Gang has a huge influence in Jiangnan, I have a branch in Jiangnan, if I shoot at the Cao Gang in my original identity, it will inevitably affect my business in Jiangnan, so I put on makeup and went to Luoma Lake, I didn't want to be brought into the Cao Gang, so I simply used this identity, but I didn't expect the Fang Gang Master to send me back to the imperial capital to set up a dark rudder. ”
"How did you get to know that guy from the Quick Knife Gate?" asked Grandpa Mu.
"When we were in Chang'an, we had a little conflict, and I spared his life. Liu Han replied very calmly, he didn't plan to hand over Fu Sangongzi, this chess piece is not very mixed in the imperial capital, but it may be useful in the future, so it will be sold now, it is too cheap.
"There was a conflict in Chang'an?" Father-in-law Mu's tone did not change at all, Liu Han knew in his heart that if he didn't get a satisfactory answer in today's meeting, I am afraid that he would die in the world.
"One of my subordinates wanted to take my property and colluded with him. ”
"It's the dead Bi Liang. ”
"My father-in-law knows everything. Liu Han nodded honestly, secretly shocked in his heart, this internal guard is really worthy of its reputation, and it was found out so quickly, Gonggong Mu didn't speak, Gonggong Lin didn't speak, Liu Han didn't dare to speak, just waited quietly.
"Well, that's good, this identity can be used for a long time. Father-in-law Mu's tone was satisfied, and Liu Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this level had passed.
