There was silence in the tavern, and everyone was nervous waiting for the woman's reaction."
Eldest sister, don't listen to him, he's just a hairy boy, what big things can he do" The young man saw that the woman's face softened, glanced at Qiao Zhiqing, and spit out sourly."
Okay, for the time being, I'll believe you in Sister Su's face, you're right, I'm Zhou Lichun's daughter Zhou Xiuying.I'm sure you've heard of me, and if you dare to lie to me, you know what I'd do. ”The woman finally put the knife back into its sheath, sat down, and gradually calmed down.She found that although the man in front of her was a little wild and uninhibited, it was not like he was telling a lie, he had more than twenty refined guards in the inn, and he was afraid that he would have a great background.Most importantly, he doesn't make people feel obnoxious.The young man next to the woman was his younger brother Zhou Huaibao, who was anxiously giving her a look on the side, and secretly scolded in his heart, "Oh, my sister, how can you confess your identity to a stranger, if he is from the government, he will not be alive" "Of course, I will not play with Leader Zhou here."
The rumors may not be credible, but Leader Zhou is much more beautiful than I thought. ”Qiao Zhiqing glanced at Zhou Xiuying up and down, and curled the corners of his mouth wickedly."
You don't have to talk nonsense anymore, who is that foreign devil, why should you die, you can't tell why, I'll dig out your broken mouth now."
Zhou Xiuying glared at Qiao Zhiqing angrily, but the pretended strength in her heart collapsed in front of this man in an instant, and even her face turned red, and no man had ever praised her beauty so directly, and he had always treated her as a man.Everyone at the table saw it, and no one expected that a generation of women would also be red-faced.And the tone of his voice became softer, without the slightest momentum, like a little woman who was angry and complained a few times."
Miss Zhou, have you heard of Bai Qiwen?"
Qiao Zhi asked lightly, and took a glass of wine to himself."
Of course, not only do we know each other, but we also have a common hatred.Back then, he joined the foreign spear team formed by Wall and killed many of our brothers in the Knife Society.Wasn't the foreign gun team disbanded by Li Hongzhang, what's the matter, do you know his whereabouts" Zhou Xiuying frowned, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the movements of this little person.Now that the Knife Society is in decline, she worries about her livelihood every day, and many of the brothers in the Society have begun to join other gangs.If she wasn't really forced to do so, she wouldn't have sent her younger brother to the foreigner's concession to collect protection money.In her eyes, all the Han people in the concession are the lackeys and traitors of foreigners.Like the Manchu Tartars, anyone can be killed."
He is now doing things for Qichang Foreign Bank, and he is doing a tobacco business that brings disaster to the country and the people, do you say that this person should kill your knife or not" Qiao Zhiqing's face changed color instantly, and his tone became fierce.Everyone present was taken aback, and Zhou Huaibao pretended to interject and asked, "He sells his tobacco and soil, and we have a strong influence in Qichang Foreign Company, and now he has close contacts with Li Hongzhang, why do we Xiaodao want to wade into this troubled water for you" "Huaibao, shut up, there is no place for you to speak here." ”Zhou Xiuying scolded her younger brother, and hesitated repeatedly in her heart, the Manchu Tartars and foreigners should be wiped out, and since the words have been said, this arrogant guy can't be underestimated.But wouldn't it be too worthless to cause such a big trouble now" Leader Zhou is afraid," Qiao Zhiqing chuckled and stared at Zhou Xiuying's pretty eyes."
I'm afraid that I, Zhou Xiuying, didn't know how to write this character since she was a child.You wait here, I'll go and get his head now. ”Zhou Xiuying frowned, and stood up as she spoke."
Eldest sister, don't be impulsive, this person wants to see our jokes, we can't fall for him."
Zhou Huaibao hurriedly stood up and grabbed Zhou Xiuying's arm."
Yes, leader, don't be reckless, even if you want to kill Bai Qiwen, you have to find out his whereabouts" Jiang Haiyang also stood up and dissuaded."
Okay, Leader Zhou is really jealous and hateful, and he is very courageous.However, there is no hurry, and this matter has to be carefully planned.Of course, this matter will not let you be busy in vain, here is a silver ticket of 50,000 taels, you can cash it in any Suzhou ticket number in Shanghai, and there will be 50,000 taels to send after the deed. ”Qiao Zhiqing didn't want to tease this good-faced woman anymore, so he stood up with a laugh, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and put it on the table.The Suzhou ticket number is actually the Shanghai branch of Huaxing Bank founded by Qiao Zhiqing, but at this time there was no name for the bank, and it was changed to the Suzhou ticket number in Shanghai."
Fifty thousand taels, it won't be fake" Zhou Huaibao exclaimed as soon as he saw the silver ticket, and hurriedly picked up the silver ticket and looked up and down."
Don't worry, if you don't believe in the meeting, you can cash it out."
Qiao Zhiqing glanced at the young man with disdain, and didn't understand why the gap between the two sisters and brothers was so big because they were all born and raised by the same parents."
Then thank you for your kindness, within three days, Bai Qiwen's head will be delivered on time."
Zhou Xiuying glanced at Qiao Zhiqing, hugged her fists and promised, and strode out of the door with her head held high."
Don't forget what you said today, the master will come to you again in three days to cash out the other half."
After Zhou Huaibao saw his sister leaving, he hurriedly said a cruel word, strengthened his courage, and jumped out of the door with Zhou Xiuying."
Childe, the little one has also stepped down, you are a friend of the leader of the Su League, and you are also a friend of my Jiang Haiyang, just tell me something."
Jiang Haiyang got up at the same time to say goodbye."
Brother Jiang is polite, you have to protect the leader of your family, be careful."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and clenched his fists to say goodbye.After a few people separated in the tavern, Qiao Zhiqing and Huang Feihong went back to the inn to rest.There was nothing to do all night, Qiao Zhiqing slept until the sun came out, then he stretched his waist and got up, and his complexion was much more energetic than yesterday."
Young master, you're awake" Huang Feihong brought a basin of hot water and came in to serve Qiao Zhi to clean up."
Is there any situation, have you done all the things I told you before going to bed last night" Qiao Zhiqing put his head in the basin and sobered up, and asked Huang Feihong while wiping his face."
It's all done, Shirong and Ah Band's brothers went in person, don't worry."
Huang Feihong replied easily and handed the towel to Qiao Zhiqing."
That's good, Xu Shou and his gang are all rare talents in the world, and they can't be allowed to have an accident in vain, it's really an irreparable loss."
Qiao Zhiqing took the towel and wiped his face, breathing a sigh of relief.When he was going to bed last night, he ordered Huang Feihong to send a few capable soldiers to the concession to protect the safety of Xu Shou and others, and if they rushed to Suzhou, they would follow and protect them in secret."
Childe, I don't understand why we don't pick up Daddy Xu and them to Suzhou openly, and secretly don't let them know."
Huang Feihong frowned puzzled."
You don't understand, the most important thing for Chinese intellectuals is to save face, why their lives are so hard, they just can't let go of their lives to serve others.If I tell Xu Shouming, even if I am suspected of giving them alms, they will also refuse me in the way of face.Do you understand" Qiao Zhiqing patted Huang Feihong's head and asked with a smile."
I don't understand, literati love these unrealistic shows, and it's true that they can fill their stomachs."
Huang Feihong touched his stomach and smiled innocently."
It's good if you don't understand, at least you're more comfortable than them, let's go, my son invites you to the tavern opposite to fill your stomach, and I'm going to meet Master Li later."
I haven't seen each other for such a long time, and I don't know if the old man thinks I don't. ”Qiao Zhiqing straightened his clothes and went out laughing.After eating, the soldiers escorted Qiao Zhiqing into the carriage, and walked to the outside of the Shanghai County Ya, carefully defended it, and prepared to respond.Qiao Zhiqing took Huang Feihong and stuffed some broken silver for the yacha on duty outside the county office, and after the yacha passed on the compliments on his face, he strode into the county ya.Li Hongzhang and Qiao Zhiqing have the same habits, they both like to work in the study.After Qiao Zhiqing and Huang Feihong were taken to the door of the study by the yacha, Huang Feihong was stopped by the guards at the door and let Qiao Zhiqing enter the study alone."
Zhiqing, did you come to see me, a bad old man" Qiao Zhiqing had just entered the door of the study when he heard a heart-filled inquiry."
The teacher is really a good day, and the students come to see you, and they don't put down their official documents."
When Qiao Zhiqing saw Li Hongzhang again, he seemed a lot more casual, and without waiting for Li Hongzhang to be polite, he sat down in the guest seat.This old man is not a man of etiquette, and it doesn't matter."
You monkey cub, don't you want to be your chief soldier in Suzhou, come to me and make my old guy happy, just say something, I'm still busy here."
Li Hongzhang chuckled, put down the official document in his hand and raised his head, the wrinkles on his face had increased a lot, and his sideburns had some gray hair.The years are not forgiving, the ancients are particularly old after forty, and Li Hongzhang has just passed the age of not being confused, and his face is a little dark."
What other reasons do students need to visit their teachers, teachers don't think too much about it."

Qiao Zhiqing smiled without changing his face, took the hot tea made by the little maid who had just entered the house and took a sip."
Don't hide it, I don't know you yet.How far is Suzhou from Shanghai, only three or two hours by boat, when have you ever come to see me, old fellow.The generals of the Huai Army are complaining to me, saying that I am partial to you and let you occupy so many places in Jiangsu, why do they want to crowd in Shanghai and be angry with foreign devils.What should I say, saying that you stinky boy has hard wings and has a wide range of soldiers, how can you take me as an old thing.Is that so, Zhiqing. ”Li Hongzhang looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a calm face, but there was a mystery in his words."
Where is the teacher, you are the governor of Jiangsu, isn't it all you talk and count here, where do students dare to be presumptuous in front of you, no, the student just intercepted a false accusation letter about you, and specially came to the teacher for purpose."
Qiao Zhiqing replied unhurriedly."
Oh, what kind of false accusation, who is worried about the old man" Li Hongzhang really raised his interest, and looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a frown
