Chapter 187 He's disturbance

Yangzhou, a small house on the bank of the river.

By the window of the red lacquer light veil on the second floor, a woman is looking at it from the railing.

The breeze blew, and the light blue shirt on her body trembled, revealing the clearly visible collarbone under her neck. The eyes are like water, elegant, and the curved eyebrows obviously show a trace of sadness.

"Jiyi, what are you staring at when you sit at the window like this every day?" He Zhaoren looked at his sister and couldn't bear to ask.

"Brother, it has been half a month since he handed in the salt last time. He should come. Even if he doesn't come, he should send someone to deliver salt, right?" The red lips moved slightly, and He Zhaoyi said this sentence clearly, but his tone was full of concern.

"Maybe their salt farm has been busy delivering other official salt recently, so it has been postponed. Maybe there is something wrong on the road, or..." He Zhaoren is looking for an excuse.

"Brother, you don't have to say it. I know, but he should also bring a message. You see, I still have 200 stones of salt, and yours is more. If he drags it like this, do we want him to pay some liquidated damages?"

liquidated damages? Forget it, He Zhaoren is now thinking about how to increase his share. Now, the more he makes more money from his business, and his father has deliberately left more business to himself. Now, it's almost the same to coax the God of Wealth. Do you dare to make this request to others?

Suddenly, he took a look at his sister and suddenly understood her idea. I'm afraid that it's fake to give liquidated damages. Is it true that he wants to chat more with others?

My sister is also true. Among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, there are many rich princes. Why do I like this private salt dealer? However, fortunately, I have the relationship with my sister. Otherwise, how could I make so much money?

Looking at the salt boat coming and going outside, but not seeing the familiar one, He Zhaoyi's heart became more and more unfathomable. For such a long time, what happened to him?

Since she picked up Li Shanchang last time, she had an ominous foreboding. That Li Shanchang, with a cynical look, opened his mouth shut, was a Mongolian tar, a Han people. This is all about killing the head. Brother Shicheng can actually have a long talk with him, with a thirsty expression. Looking at Li Shanchang's eyes, he is more intimate than looking at himself. What are they doing during this period?

He Zhaoyi frowned. She was a smart person. Naturally, she knew that Brother Shicheng had some secrets, such as the secret of refined salt. In fact, she did not believe that the refined salt was really obtained by Uncle Liu from a small island, but it had nothing to do with her, as long as he could provide himself with refined salt and let himself Make money, that's enough. Although Brother Shicheng is a gang of the salt farm, he is a private salt dealer under the banner of official salt. Of course, he also has the banner of his own He family. It doesn't matter, because the He family has been able to make a fortune until now. In addition to official salt, of course, he will also do some private salt. As long as everything is taken care of, it is not difficult to transport the private salt. Things.

However, all this can be said to be just a small move under the eyes of the court. If like those red scarf troops, it is quite dangerous to kill the Mongolian tars and restore the Han people.

Brother Shicheng, how many secrets do you have to hide from me?

He Zhaoyi sighed and took his eyes back, but he saw that his eldest brother was still not leaving.

"Brother, this is their boudoir. If you have nothing to do, go down."

What's your boudoir? This is obviously my house. You stayed here and didn't leave. How did you drive me out now? He Zhaoren thought about it, but said, "Well, then be careful. It's late autumn. Don't catch a cold. I'll go down first."

"Young master, young lady..." Xiao Ai hurriedly ran up from below.

"Little love, what's the matter? Why are you running so fast?" He Zhaoyi asked.

"The master was in a hurry to find the young master and the young lady to go back, saying that he had something important to ask." Xiao Ai said anxiously.

He Zhaoyi and He Zhaoren looked at each other. What's the matter?

"I'm told to prepare the car, and I'll go back with the young lady." He Zhaoren and Xiao Ai said.

"Yes, young master!"

This place belongs to the suburbs of Yangzhou. It takes half an hour to go to the Yanling Street in Yangzhou City. Hefu is on the street of Yanling. All the big salt merchants have their own houses on the street of Yanling.

The street was lively, and the driver had to walk and stop. He Zhaoyi and He Zhaoren were a little anxious in the car. His father called himself back in such a hurry. What's the matter?

"Young master, miss, here we are." The groom said.

The car stopped and didn't care about putting the footstool, He Zhaoyi jumped down.

The two red doors, the powerful stone lion at the door, and the two golden ironing characters on the door are so familiar. Here, it is the He family.

However, He Zhaoyi doesn't like to stay at home. She feels that as soon as she enters this house, she is like a canary in a cage. She doesn't worry about food and drink, but she has no fun. Since she has an excuse to do business, she can often stay in her eldest brother's water courtyard.

"Young master, young lady, the master is waiting in the front hall." Seeing the two of them coming back, the housekeeper hurried forward and said.

"Dad, Dad." He Zhaoyi trotted all the way to the front hall.

"Squeak," pushed open the closed door and saw his father sitting upright. When he turned his head again, it was the second brother's smiling face.

"It turns out that the second brother is also here." He Zhaoyi has returned to normal and said lightly.

"Little sister, you don't seem to be happy when you see me. Have you made too much money recently?" He Zhaojie had a sinister smile on his face.

"Where, the second brother has so many businesses. No matter how much the little sister earns, she will not be in the eyes of the second brother." He Zhaoyi responded.

"Dad, what's wrong with calling us in such a hurry?" He Zhaoren also came in.

Master He didn't say anything, but looked at He Zhaojie.

"Dad, don't worry, all the people who don't work have been sent away, and there is no one else nearby." He Zhaojie said.

What's the matter? Do you have to send the others in the house? He Zhaoren and He Zhaoyi wondered.

"Thao Ren, Zhao Yi, you brothers and sisters, the business has done well in the past few months." Mr. He said.

"That's all the blessing of your father. The business has really improved in the past few months." He Zhaoren said.

"What's my blessing? It's almost enough to drag me back. Do you want to drag me to prison?" Mr. He leaned his crutch to the ground and shouted angrily.

"Dad, what rumors have you heard? How can a child do such a thing? He Zhaoren's face was full of innocence. Needless to say, the second brother must be bad again.

"Zhao Jie, you tell them." Mr. He said.

"Yes, Dad." After answering, He Zhaojie walked around He Zhaoren and He Zhaoyi and said, "Brother, it's okay if my little sister is ignorant. How can you make a blind eye after you have been in business for so many years? Now, the whole family will be taken to prison by both of you.

"Second brother, you don't want to bleed people. What have I done?" He Zhaoren also lost his temper. Every time the two fought, he had to give each other a little face. Today, since the second brother tore his face, He Zhaoren was also righteous.

"My big brother, if you can't do it, I can help you, but you secretly sell your coarse salt for refined salt, and you still want to hide it from the world?" He Zhaojie asked.

"What's wrong with me changing to refined salt? Dad already knows about this. Is it wrong for me to make more money for my family?" He Zhaoren asked.

"Of course, that's right. This kind of thing is nothing in our He family, but do you know who is the person who exchanged refined salt with you?"

"I know this, it's Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shicheng, from Baiju Salt Farm." He Zhaoyi's bright eyes and teeth said lightly, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem, there is a big problem!" He Zhaojie said.

"What's the problem?"

"This Zhang Shicheng, he is not only selling salt, but also rebellious!" He Zhaojie said.

"Second brother, how do you know he is rebelping? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Raling nonsense? Do you know that Zhang Shicheng has captured the three major salt farms of Xinghua. The nearby big families were killed by him, and the rest ran out.

"You, you're talking nonsense. I don't believe it!"

Don't believe it? He Zhaojie smiled instead: "My good sister, good brother, didn't you find that you were plotting with the tiger? All right, I'll call someone out for you.

"Bang, bang." He Zhaojie slapped two times and came out of a man from behind.

The man was unkempt and his clothes were not neat. It seemed that there was still a bad smell on his body. He Zhaoyi immediately covered his nose: "Second brother, what do you want to find this tramp back from the street?"

"Haha, he's not a tramp. Tell him who are you?"

"Yes," the man said, but he was full of eloquent: "The villain is near the Xinghua salt farm, Liu Shanxia's family. A few days ago, the salt farm was attacked by the chaos. The large households near the salt farm were created. Many large households were robbed by the chaos. Master Liu Shanxia, a family of 45 people, all died. Clean, except for the little man's cleverness, hidden in the cave of the rockery, so he escaped and wandered all the way here.

"What's the name of the man who led the rebellion?"

"He is the chief tooth of Baiju Salt Farm, Zhang Shicheng!" When Jia Ding mentioned the name, he gritted his teeth in his words.

In the middle of speaking, He Zhaoyi had a faint hunch. When he said the three words of Zhang Shicheng, He Zhaoyi was dizzy in front of him. Is it really him?

Impossible, impossible, how can he do such a thing? Gathering people to rebel, this is the crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan. However, now there is chaos everywhere, and there is a Red Turban Army everywhere. This Zhang Shicheng is not a Red Turban Army, is it?

Looking at He Zhaoyi's pale face and at He Zhaoren, who was at a loss, He Zhaojie waved his hand and let the family go down.

"What? Big brother, little sister, you can't look good, can you? How dare you do business with him? This is the enemy!" He Zhaojie was proud, "You two do business with him. Isn't this pushing our He family into the fire?"

"No, I don't believe it!" He Zhaoyi suddenly shouted, "This person just now is just a tramp. How do you know whether what he said is true or false? I want to go to Xinghua in person and see it with my own eyes, so that I can know if he is really a thief..."

"Enough!" Master He said, "From today on, all the business in the family will be temporarily handed over to Zhao Jie. You two, stay at home and don't go anywhere!"

"Dad..."

Master He turned his head and walked back. As he walked, he said to himself, "My family, the He family, so many storms have come, but we can't capsized the boat in this gutter."

He Zhaoren's mind is blank: Will the simple man with a smile on his face be a thief? How is it possible? How can it be!
