Peerless Pirates

Since Huang Song gave the order, Fourth Young Master Bao nodded and agreed to the latest chapter of the holy monument. Immediately, Huang Song took Fourth Young Master Bao to the study. Huang Song wrote a letter in his own hand for Bao Zhiqing in Yangzhou to refer to, and Bao Zhiqing The Fourth Young Master will tell Bao Zhiqing from a "professional perspective" the possibility of forging banknotes.

Huang Song and Fourth Young Master Bao were busy in the study, while Xu Mingsu, Second Young Master Jian and others were thinking about how to force the Lu family to submit quickly.

"Master Xu, have the arrangements been made for the Wang family?" Master Jian asked with a smile.

Xu Mingsu laughed and said, "There is no need for any arrangements for a poor family. They even coaxed and frightened them, and they soon gave in."

Although the laughter was cheerful, Young Master Jian still had goosebumps all over his body when he saw Xu Mingsu's face that looked particularly feminine due to excessive drinking. This Xu Mingsu was a demon of lust. It was said in the circle that he was known as the "Jade Tiger in the Flesh Forest" and that he had many women at night. , this happens every day, I really don’t know how this small body can survive.

As for what Xu Mingsu said about "coaxing and scaring", Second Young Master Jian knew what was going on when he found out that Wang Er had an eleven-year-old sister. Although Second Young Master Jian was not a good person, he did such a despicable thing. , it’s hard for Second Young Master Jian to make a move.

Professional things should be done by professionals!

Second Young Master Jian said with a smile, "Now that the Lu family is involved in Lu Qiu's affairs, and there are orders from the Ministry of Punishment to force us outside, it will be difficult even if we don't submit. However, if the Lu family submits, we must ask Master Xu to give the Lu family guidance." A 'clear way'." Young Master Jian was afraid that Xu Mingsu would go too far and affect the overall plan.

"I will. Although this matter has nothing to do with the rebellious son of my family. However, I believe that if he knows the truth, he will still be willing to bow to me for the Lu family." Xu Mingsu chuckled.

Everyone knows about the grievances between Xu Mingsu and Xu Mingxuan. Although Second Young Master Jian was not reassured, he had no choice but to bow his hand slightly and said, "Then I wish Young Master Xu's wish will come true."

"Second Young Master, don't worry." Xu Mingsu was confident. Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Second Young Master Jian. If Madam Ling hadn't happened upon this incident, it wouldn't have been so wonderful. Madam Ling is really resourceful and talented." Xu Mingsu's eyes showed envy.

Second Young Master Jian's face changed slightly. Although his wife was indeed very good, being praised by such a pervert made Second Young Master Jian feel unspeakably uncomfortable. Second Young Master Jian's wife's surname was Linghu, and her given name was Xi. The niece of a noble family in Kaifeng, Tokyo, is not only very beautiful, but also extremely resourceful and good at planning. After marrying Young Master Jian, she came into contact with the business of the bank, and Linghu Xi soon showed her amazing talent. He was extremely attentive and familiar with all kinds of accounting transactions, which helped Mr. Jian a lot.

Outsiders think that Second Young Master Jian is experienced and thoughtful, but they don't know that Second Young Master Jian got half of his reputation from his wife, such as what happened to Lu Qiu this time.

A few days ago, there was a problem with the accounts of a new branch opened by Kaibao Bank in Jiangning. Also, Mr. Jian was discussing big plans with Huang Song, so Linghu Xi had to go to the branch to check in person.

The shopkeepers of the four branches of Kaibao Bank in Jiangning all know that when Mr. Jian is not at home, his wife makes the decision. As a merchant, Linghu Xi has no taboo of "not being able to leave the house".

The account matters were quickly settled, and Linghuxi stopped by the downtown to buy some silk and satin. The weather was getting hot, so Linghuxi wanted to make some cooler clothes for her husband. Mrs. Jian was very proficient in the art of female beauty.

Different from Cong Yushuang's "talent", Linghu Xi is obviously better at winning over her husband. Jian Ershao likes his wife's beauty, uses her wife's wisdom, and wears clothes made by her own hands. How can he not fall in love with her?

On the way home after buying silk satin, Linghu Xi encountered Lu Qiu beating a thief. Originally, Linghu Xi would have stayed away from such a thing. However, when Lu Qiu loudly reported to herself, " After receiving the title of "Huitong Lu Family", Linghu Xi had an idea and immediately sent people to follow Wang Er and Lu Qiu who were beaten.

During this period of time, all parties jointly plotted against the Lu family, and Linghuxi knew it. So after returning home, when the people sent to follow him came back, Linghuxi wrote a letter to Mr. Jian who was still at Huangsong's house. go.

Huang Song, Xu Mingsu and others were together, what bad idea couldn't be suppressed? Xu Mingsu, a local gangster, immediately took over the job. So there was a situation where Wang and his family agreed to reconcile but later regretted it.

Xu Mingsu praised Linghu Xi. He didn’t have much thought in it, but he was quite curious about this woman who was very intelligent. She is smart, beautiful and capable of doing practical things. How come I, Xu Mingsu, can’t meet her? What if I, Xu Mingsu, could have such a person? Madam, you are willing to sleep with two less women every day!

Second Young Master Jian was frightened, fearing that Xu Mingsu would have any bad thoughts about his wife. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "How can a humble wife be so talented and beautiful? The young master's wife is truly unparalleled in talent, beauty and forgetfulness." A collection of the author's works! 'The pure jade is pure and proud, and the frost blooms. The rain and cold wind come suddenly. The springs are irrigated and the mud seals are diligently protected, and the diameter of the Dinghe well is free of dust.' A chrysanthemum poem has the charm of Yi'an!"

Jian Ershao was very familiar with the strategy of diverting trouble from the east.

Cong Yushuang is famous for her poems in Jiangning, and this poem is one of them. In Licheng that day, Song Zheng gave Cong Yushuang this poem, which was originally used to persuade her to maintain her noble nature. Cong Yushuang really remembered it. In my heart, I always write to encourage myself. After marrying into the Duke's Mansion last year, this poem was passed around by the servants of the Duke's Mansion, and everyone thought it was written by Cong Yushuang.

Since Kaibao Bank is cooperating with the Duke's Mansion, Second Young Master Jian has naturally put a lot of effort into the people of the Duke's Mansion. Today is just a good time to praise Pang Ting and divert Xu Mingsu's attention.

Sure enough, when Second Young Master Jian said this, a smile finally appeared on Pang Ting's face. Xu Mingsu and Lian Yu naturally also said a few compliments, and even Song Yu said "not bad". He even burst into laughter and had to say a few words of humility.

Pang Ting didn't know that this poem was written by Song Zheng, otherwise, he would have to fall out now. It is unreasonable for men to be jealous. For example, Pang Ting, Huang Song told Pang Ting another version of what happened in Licheng, Pang Ting He hated Song Zheng deeply. Even if Pang Ting knew that Huang Song was deliberately provoking it, he would rather believe it.

When it came to women, everyone obviously had a common interest. The topic soon turned to romance, and until Huang Song came back, everyone was still unfinished.

At noon, Huang Song quickly arranged a banquet. When men drink, they always say something they dare not say or even cannot say. Huang Song is obviously very proficient in this. Not only did he arrange fine wines and delicacies, but he also even Please come out, Shui'er, and fill everyone with wine and sing songs.

Lian Shui'er turned out to be somewhat famous on the Qinhuai River. Everyone was naturally pleased with her music and her beauty. They all shook their heads and enjoyed it very much, but one person secretly gritted his teeth.

"Lian Ti Xing, what's wrong? My concubine can't sing well?" Huang Song noticed Lian Yu's strange behavior and asked immediately.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention turned to Lian Yu.

"No, no, Miss Shui'er's wonderful music is unparalleled in the world." Lian Yu said hurriedly, "It's just that Lian remembered that the city guard had some unfinished business, so he got distracted."

"Oh? With such a wonderful singing voice, you are still thinking about business, you really deserve to be punished!" Fourth Young Master Bao also joked.

"I accept my punishment! I accept my punishment!" Lian Yu drank the wine in front of him, then stood up, cupped his fists towards Huang Song and Pang Ting and said, "Young Master, Mr. Huang, if you have no other instructions, I will do it first. Went on errands."

Huang Song glanced at Lian Yu playfully and said with a smile, "Official matters are important. Please do it yourself if you want to be punished."

At this time, Song Yu also stood up and said, "I also want to return my message to Mr. Dong and take my leave."

"Oh, Mr. Song wants to go back too? Well, come here and send Mr. Song and Lian Ti Xing off." Huang Song immediately ordered loudly. The housekeeper had already come over and made a gesture of invitation at the door.

Lian Yu secretly glanced at Lian Shui'er, who was smiling beautifully, and quickly turned around and went out. Song Yu followed him numbly and also went out.

After the two left, Fourth Master Bao smiled and asked, "Does Miss Shui'er know Lian Tixing?" Something was wrong with Lian Yu, and Fourth Master Bao also saw some signs.

"The slave family did see Lian Tixing when they were at Huafang that day." Lian Shui'er said with a smile, "The fourth young master was not in Jiangning at that time. If he was there, he might also know the slave family!"

After Bao Si Shao laughed, he asked, "There are not many people with the surname Lian. Could it be that the girl and Mr. Lian are from the same hometown?" Bao Si Shao was really a bit gossipy.

However, Huang Song knew that Lian Yu was the son of Che Yongfu, the former right-wing commander of the city guard. Che Yongfu was implicated by the commander Han Zhong and his family fell into ruin. His son Che Yu had to change his name to Che Yu and was taken in by the Duke's government. And Lian Shui'er was a member of the country's government. The regular contact person assigned by the government to his side appeared in the name of a concubine. Huang Song did not know about the entanglement between Lian Shui'er and Lian Yu, but he just expected that Lian Yu might be Lian Shui'er's guest.

Thinking of this, Huang Songdai Lian Shui'er smiled and replied, "Although there are not many people with the surname Lian, they are not uncommon. Come on, come on, everyone, please raise your glasses again and let Shui'er sing another song for you." The topic was dropped. past.

Soon, the music and singing started again in the room.

Outside Huangsong's Mansion, Song Yu rode a carriage and Lian Yu rode a horse, heading west one after another. Song Yu wanted to return to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, while Lian Yu went to the west of the city.

Perhaps because of something on his mind, Lian Yu's horse didn't go very fast, even slower than Song Yu's carriage.

After walking about a mile and approaching the entrance of the criminal department, Song Yu got off the car and stood quietly by the street. Soon, Lian Yu followed. When he saw Song Yu, he cupped his hands absentmindedly.

"Even mentioning punishment is a sign of something different. Don't worry too much about punishment."

"The original image is not the image?" Lian Yu was stunned, "What does Mr. Song mean?"

Song Yu said calmly, "Even adults have been studying since childhood, so they don't know the meaning of this sentence." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Lian Yu lowered his head and muttered again, "The original image is not the image. I naturally know that what I see in my eyes may not be true. But what does he mean by telling me this sentence? Huh? No, how does he know that I am myself? Did you go to school as a child?"

Lian Yu was shocked and quickly wanted to call Song Yu to ask clearly, but saw that Song Yu had already reached the gate of the Criminal Department Yamen and disappeared soon after.

At the Lu Mansion, Lu Chun had already described in detail what happened after Song Zheng left, including what happened at Ruifeng Bank and Lu Qiu. Song Zheng remained silent after hearing this.

He did not expect that after he left Jiangning, the trading house and everyone in Jiangnan would engage in a two-month struggle. If Lu Dafu had not had extraordinary foresight, he might not have been able to survive.
