1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 193 The Disharmonious Factors of the Office in the Cliff

In Yazhou City, in the courtyard of Zhuya Office.

Hai Dagui sat on a bench under the eaves, his eyes slightly closed, and he leaned against the pillars beside him to doze off. Woke up.

These few days, he was working beside Mu Xiabo and Feng Annan, and he felt really exhausted, and he fell asleep again and again as soon as the sky darkened.These two masters have to go around Yazhou City every day, and there are two fixed places that they will definitely visit. One is the Yazhou Water Village, and the other is the military camp outside Yazhou City.Although Yazhou is not a big place, running back and forth like this is at least a dozen miles away, which is not a small consumption for Hai Dagui who lacks physical exercise.

Although Hai Dagui didn't quite understand the significance of the two masters visiting these places every day, people should have the consciousness of being a servant at the moment, and don't talk too much when they shouldn't ask.Every day, he followed behind with a large bag of things, which contained dry food for three people and some strange things. He was a little tired, but compared to the time before when he wandered thousands of miles from the northern Central Plains to Yazhou. After a hard time, the life in Zhuyaban is almost a paradise.

Although he and another boy, Hai Dafu, were still working as servants, they could clearly feel that these merchants from Haihan did not completely treat them as servants, and they ate the same food for three meals. In my spare time, I will take turns teaching them how to read and write, and tell them some simple truths. The kind of kindness released is still easy to feel.The most important thing is that although these Haihan people claim to be from overseas, they almost all have a standard northern accent. Hai Dagui and Hai Dafu communicate with them effortlessly, which makes them have a long-lost intimacy.

Hai Dagui knew that the Haihan people built a large port in the east, and now the people who take boats from Yazhou to sea every month go there to settle.It is said that that place is more prosperous than Yazhou, and everyone does not have to worry about being unable to afford food. Hai Dagui really wants to see what the city built by the Haihan people looks like when he has a chance in the future.

The door behind Hai Dagui creaked open, Zhang Guang appeared at the door, and said to Hai Dagui, "Dagui, is Mr. He back?"

Hai Dagui woke up after a doze, and quickly got up and said: "Mr. He said today that he is going to discuss matters with Mr. Wang of the prefectural office, and he probably will come back later."

"Do you know where he went? I need to find him urgently!" Zhang Guang asked.

"In Erniang Hu's shop in Nantiao Alley..." Hai Dagui didn't dare to hide it, this was what his little friend Hai Dafu said before he went out.Hai Dafu has been working with He Xi for a long time now, and he is familiar with the places He Xi often goes to.

Zhang Guangdao: "Hurry up and tell Mr. He to come back soon, and say that there is news from home! Erniang Hu...huh..."

The expression on Zhang Guang’s face is not very good-looking. He has been in Yazhou for so long, and he already knows what kind of business the store in the city does. Erniang Hu’s store is not a clean place. A place for flower wine.Regardless of whether He Xi's purpose of going there was for business or private pleasure, for Zhang Guang, such behavior should be despised.

Hai Dagui didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly packed his clothes and went out.Hu Erniang's shop is not too far from the courtyard of Zhuya Office, just cross three streets and alleys.It is said to be a shop, but it is actually just a small courtyard. From a distance at the entrance of the alley, you can see a lantern the size of a pumpkin with the word "Hu" written on it.

Before Hai Dagui entered the yard, he was stopped by someone.Hai Dagui knew who it was when he heard the voice, and when he stopped and turned around, he saw Hai Dafu coming out from the corner: "Come to see Mr. He?"

Hai Dagui nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang asked me to bring Mr. He back, saying that there was news from home. Why are you waiting here?"

Hai Dafu shook his head and said: "Mr. He won't let me in, saying that it's not suitable for children, and let me wait here for him."

"I think Mr. Zhang is very anxious. We can't delay this matter. Let's go in and inform Mr. He." Hai Dagui grabbed Hai Dafu's wrist and pulled him into the courtyard gate.

At this time, He Xi was lying naked on a certain soft bed in the backyard, and beside him was a young woman who was also naked, curled up and lying beside him dripping with sweat.The woman looked at He Xi's side face with a dazed look, and gently moved her fingers on his arm, saying angrily, "You villain, you are always so rude every time, and you don't know how to be sympathetic and sympathetic!"

He Xi closed her eyes and replied, "It's obvious that you acted like a tigress, so why are you blaming me for being rude? With your energy on the bed, don't pretend to be fragrant or jade."

The woman pinched He Xi and said, "You, a villain, didn't ask for it!"

"I've given the money, so can't I make a request?" He Xi smiled and said, "Okay, since you've performed well today, I'll let you know. The judge Wang of the state government has spoken, and your trouble It only needs to cost 100 taels of hard work, just prepare the silver yourself, Judge Wang will ask someone to pick it up later."

"Er Niang, I already know that Uncle He is reliable!" The woman said, leaning her warm and soft body on He Xi's shoulder, and said with blurred eyes: "Uncle He, how should this concubine repay you?"

"It's not easy to repay me? Which girls Wang Judge hooked up with before, how much money he collected in this Nantiao Alley, and what kind of shady activities he did, you, Erniang Hu, should be very clear about these things, right?" He Xi As he spoke, he opened his eyes, looked at Hu Erniang with a smile, and said, "Write down all these things and give them to me. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Hu Erniang sat up, her face changed color and said: "You gods are fighting, don't involve me, a mortal, in it! Since you want to help me, why do you want to hurt me?"

He Xi also sat up, snorted and said, "Do you think Judge Wang will let your business go? If I hadn't said something nice in the middle, he would have taken your business away with an excuse! You take him The handles are useless, because you can't move him at all, but these handles are different in my hands. When necessary, I will stuff the black materials into Dongchang Fanzi, and he can let him judge Wang get out of class is over!"

"Why dismiss get out of class?" Hu Erniang asked puzzled.

He Xi coughed dryly and said, "Let's get out of class... In short, it won't make him feel better, and even losing his job is just a thought away from me!"

Erniang Hu gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, Erniang will believe you this time!"

He Xi was still waiting to persuade him, when suddenly Hai Dafu's voice came out of the room: "Mr. He, there is something at home, please come back quickly!"

He Xi knew that someone from the Cliff Office should have come here, so he quickly responded and got up to get dressed.He Xi said to Hu Erniang while getting dressed, "Don't be afraid, if you really can't stay here anymore, you can go to Qiongzhou or Guangzhou to make a living, and I'll pay for the travel expenses for you."

Hu Erniang said angrily: "I heard that you Haihan people have established a huge property in Yulin, and you are constantly searching for laborers in Yazhou to open up wasteland and farmland. Why don't you let Erniang settle there?"

He Xi smiled and said: "You can go, but after you pass, your flesh and blood business may not be easy to do. We have very strict control over this business."

Hu Erniang spat: "What kind of flesh and blood business, do you think anyone can enter Erniang's room? The shopkeeper Qiu who sells cloth and Wen Jiaoyu from the south of the city come here every day. You can see that I gave them half a favor." face?"

"Yes yes yes, you have integrity!" He Xi slapped Hu Erniang's bare buttocks after finishing dressing up and said, "Remember the business, I will find a trustworthy scholar to write for you tomorrow, and we will discuss you after the matter is over It’s a question of where to settle in the future.”

He Xi came out to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Hai Dagui standing outside, and asked a few questions, but Hai Dagui only knew what happened.He Xi knew in his heart that there was probably some temporary notice from the base camp, so he didn't continue to ask any further questions, and everything would be clear when he returned to the Cliff Office.

When the three of them returned to the Cliff Office, He Xi found that he was the only one missing, and the others had already taken their seats in the confidential room.When Zhang Guang saw He Xi coming in, he couldn't help muttering: "There must be a limit to going out to play, drinking flowers and wine outside every day, what will the comrades in the base camp think if they find out?"

He Xi was not angry, and said with a smile: "I admit to drinking flower wine, but this is just a means, not an end. I will not do this. It is not so easy to collect black materials about those officials in the state government."

"You are using the purpose to cover up the wrong means!" Zhang Guang said relentlessly: "You are a special commissioner of the Executive Committee, but it does not mean that you can treat yourself as 007 and go wherever you go!"

"Zhang Guang, don't say it." Maliko stopped Zhang Guang's complaint in a deep voice: "There is no need to say these things that hinder unity, and there are lesbians present, pay attention to the impact!"

Zhang Guang might not really agree with Maliko's words, but when he saw that Zhao Xiaoruo's face was already red, he stopped his voice angrily.

What a shrewd person He Xi was, he felt a little problematic when he heard Maliko's words—it sounded like he was trying to dissuade Zhang Guang, but he also seemed to be vaguely pointing out that he was doing something wrong.But the others remained silent, as if they had no intention of standing up to persuade them.

He Xi admits that her working method is a bit deviant, but the effect is that no one can deny.Besides, Mariko knew about going to Hu Erniang's shop to collect information. Last time He Xi took him there with Qiu Yuan, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction at that time.We are all single men, and we have been in such a difficult environment for so long, it is inevitable that we will be somewhat dissolute when we come to this kind of place.Except for Zhang Guang, the other brothers went out to find a place to be happy, but He Xi led the way. After all, they also established a relationship with one of the three major irons in life. It has always been harmonious, why did the atmosphere change a little today?
However, Maiko's next words made He Xi understand the reason immediately: "The executive committee sent a telegram half an hour ago, and there is a transfer arrangement for your work."
