The carriage traveled slowly for two hours, and finally arrived at Qin's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Ciyu Town at dawn.In the early morning, Qin's Zhuangzi gradually became clear in a snowy mist, the smoke of cooking curled with the wind, smelling the familiar smell of firewood, as if returning home to see his mother who was guarding the fire in front of the stove to cook.The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qin's Zhuangzi, and the old steward who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to move the wooden bench, saw Zhuge Yi walk out, and greeted him with a smile: "Zhuge Gongzi is no longer here, the owner of the village is so anxious that he can't sit still, and wants to lead the guards to ride a horse to meet him halfway." ”"Thank you Fifth Master Qin for your concern."
Zhuge Yi turned around and picked up the little girl who climbed to the car door, wrapped her from head to toe with a black fox big gun, hugged her horizontally in his arms and strode towards Zhuangzi.The old steward followed behind, muttering, "You are too bold to probe the spies inside and outside the new house."
Fortunately, the ghost hand and my son were on guard, and all the spies outside the new house were arrested and taken to the deserted house in the south alley, and the spies in the new house were also imprisoned in the empty house in the small courtyard of calligraphy and painting waiting to be released. ”"When did the old thief king become so verbose?"
Zhuge Yi hugged the little girl and went straight to the guest house, where he lived before planted a lot of southern bamboo, which was very popular with him.This time, I came to stay for a few days and chose a satisfactory yard to live in.The old steward glared at him and scolded, "I'm too long-winded, don't do that pigtail thing."
The old foxes of Porcelain Yu Town have been dreaming about how to catch your mistakes at night.It's good now, people didn't rush to catch it, you send it to the door yourself. ”Li Haitang, who was hidden in the ink fox, couldn't help it, showed half of his little head and blinked his apricot eyes, and asked: "The old thief is angry that we leave a handle for others, or are we angry that we deliberately provoke your son to be tired?"
”"Little girl, what do you know.I feel sorry for my son, and I feel sorry for you. ”The old steward said angrily, and walked ahead of them.Zhuge Yi hid Begonia's little head again, and followed the old steward into the quiet and elegant guest house.Qin Wu sat in the pavilion of the guest courtyard in a daze, and the fragrant tea he had in his hand was cold."
The owner, Zhuge Gongzi and the little master are here.""
The night is back, I see that he seems to have an injury on his body, you can go and take a look."
Qin Wu walked out of the pavilion and wanted to reach out to pick up the little girl, but seeing Zhuge Yi slightly sideways to avoid it, he put down his hand in embarrassment and turned around and entered the house.Zhuge Yi hugged the little girl and went straight to the west bedroom, lazily ignoring Qin Wu, who was gloomy and melancholy.As soon as he got out of bed, Li Haitang couldn't wait to climb out of the ink fox and asked, "Is Fifth Master Qin in trouble?"
Master, leave me alone, go and ask. ”"Huh!
Do you care about Qin Wuye very much?
”Zhuge Yi asked sourly, and was pushed back two steps by the little girl, and suddenly his handsome face was thin and angry.Li Haitang nodded and said straightforwardly: "Yes, Fifth Master Qin and Master Ling are my brothers-in-law, of course I care about them."
Why is Master angry?
Do you know who broke Qin Wuye's heart?
”Oh!
It turned out to be a concern for my brother-in-law.Well, it's understandable, after all, Ling Ye and Qin Wuye really treat the little girl well, and it is reasonable for her to care about them.Zhuge Yi sat on the edge of the bed with his body tilted, pinched her ruddy little face, and said, "Who in the world can hurt Qin Wuye's heart, you are too worried." ”He was too lazy to pay attention to Qin Wu's fancy things, and just wanted to take advantage of the wind and snow to take the little girl to the suburbs to enjoy the plum blossoms on horseback in recent days.Li Haitang said worriedly: "Master is good friends with Fifth Master Qin, so let's go and ask." ”"Okay.You go to bed first, and I will tell the old thief king to prepare a soft breakfast.After breakfast, I drank the medicinal soup and sweated when I covered the quilt.When you are cured, we will ride together to enjoy the plum blossoms in the suburbs. ”"Plum blossoms?"
Li Begonia's apricot eyes were shining, her house was full of begonia flowers, and the only few plum trees were bare by Liu Erniang, and the plum blossoms were taken to make wine.Zhuge Yi told Haitang to sleep obediently, and he went outside to see Qin Wu.Li Haitang lay on the bed thinking about the beauty of riding a horse and stepping on the snow to find plum blossoms with Zhuge Yi after recovering from illness, and was so happy that she couldn't sleep.Suddenly, I heard Zhuge Yi and Qin Wu talking about Qishan Town, and it seemed that many traders in Mobei were discussing buying large quantities of leather goods, and then selling them to the capital and Jiangnan at a high price to make huge profits.She didn't know how to do business.However, the peddlers in Qishan Town have always abided by the rules, and Qishan Town, which was governed by Qin Wu, has never had a case of raising prices to obtain huge profits.Li Haitang grabbed the ink fox and put it on, and when he came to the outside world, he saw that Qin Wu and Zhuge Yi were silent, as if they were thinking."
Master, Fifth Master Qin, I don't know if I should say something or not.""
Tell me."
Qin Wuzhi pointed to the stool closest to the charcoal brazier on the opposite side for Begonia to sit.Zhuge Yi moved the charcoal brazier to Begonia's side again.Li Haitang sat down wrapped in the ink fox and felt weak after only a few steps.Sure enough, I've been sick for too long, and I have even lost a lot of energy.The main thing is important, she didn't have the heart to sigh about her illness, analyzed it carefully, and said: "Qishan Town has the rules set by Qin Wuye, those big businessmen and traders who travel south and north may be unruly when doing business outside, but the rules of Qishan Town are that there is no distinction between high and low, whether it is a big merchant or a peddler, as long as you do business in Qishan Town, you must abide by the rules set by Qin Wuye."
The big merchants and peddlers are all old merchants, how can they not know this truth?
”"In your opinion, how?"
Qin Wu personally poured a cup of hot tea to warm Haitang's hands, knowing that she was infected with severe wind and cold and should not drink tea.Zhuge Yi carefully wrapped the body of the teacup with a handkerchief, so as not to burn her white and tender little hands.Li Haitang looked at him with a soft smile and said to Qin Wu: "The peddlers took the risk of being driven out of Qishan Town forever to raise the price of leather goods, and sold them to the capital and Jiangnan to make huge profits.With no one in their eyes like this, did they eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?
In my opinion, they were instructed by others to dare to show off their might and break the rules in Qishan Town. ”"The big merchants and peddlers with bad rules are easy to punish, and the people behind them are easy to find, but I am worried that the rules of Qishan Town have been broken, and I don't know how many people will be involved in danger for profit in the future, how should Qin Wuye govern Qishan Town at that time?"
Zhuge Yi's words made Qin Wu fall into deep thought.This is exactly what he hesitates about, according to his ability, he will definitely be able to find out who is behind the scenes, but what can he do?
Now a few big merchants and peddlers can break the rules, and it is hard to guarantee that there will not be a second, third, or fourth.Li Haitang held his chin, his gaze wandering between Zhuge Yi and Qin Wu.She didn't believe they didn't know who was behind it, maybe that person was something they didn't want to mess with.For some reason, she had a whim, suspecting that the person behind the scenes was ......, "Master, Fifth Master Qin, do you guess that the person who instructed the big merchants and the sellers to raise prices to make huge profits would be the emperor Lao'er in the capital?"
”Qin Wu rubbed his hands together and said helplessly: "The feet of the Son of Heaven are all royal land, and he has long seen that my Qishan Town is not pleasing to the eye.But today's events really wronged him. ”Li Haitang asked in surprise, "Qin Wuye knows who that person is?"
”Zhuge Yi and Qin Wu both showed helpless expressions, and Haitang pouted depressedly.() Glory to the end
