A knife in love

Chapter 3067

Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, although he was still dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, so he nodded.The two chatted for a few more words, then walked back to the cabin together to rest in their respective cabins.

Li Qiufeng returned to his cabin, sat at the table and flipped through the scrolls.It's just that he had something on his mind, although he couldn't stop flipping the pages of the book, he didn't even read a single word.

After touching for more than an hour, I only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone was walking over from the long corridor.Li Qiufeng had lived on the big ship for dozens of days, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately knew that it was Ding Guan.He hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to the door, and stretched out his hand to pull the hatch open.At this time, Ding Guan just walked outside the door and stopped, and was about to raise his hand to tap on the hatch, when Li Qiufeng pulled the hatch open unexpectedly, which shocked Ding Guan.I saw him standing in the corridor outside the door, with his right hand raised, his expression embarrassed, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

Seeing Ding Guan's dumbfounded look, Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said, "Li has been waiting for a long time, I wonder if Mr. Ding has completed the matter of our landing?"

Only then did Ding Guan wake up, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "Master Li, don't worry. I have already met with the tax officials stationed at the wharf by the four big names, handed over the money, and took back the customs. Tonight we three The big ship is moored at the pier, and we can disembark early tomorrow morning. As long as we have the guards in hand, the officials of the Fusang Kingdom will not make things difficult for us."

Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Ding Guan's speech, and praised Ding Guan's ability in doing things repeatedly.Ding Guan said a few words modestly, and then continued: "When I was rushing back, I happened to pass by Songhe Tower, thinking that Uncle Li and Miss Mu only had some dry food for the past few days, it was quite hard work, so I went to Songhe Tower to order Waiting for the banquet at a table, bring it back for Uncle Li and Miss Mu to taste."

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "The shopkeeper Ye Da of Songhe Tower is a Han Chinese, from Huzhou. He made a fortune by selling silk and satin in the past. He is one of the largest families in Huzhou. When I was doing business, I saw that there were no decent taverns and inns here. I had an idea, and several tax officials on the wharf partnered up to start a restaurant business. Actually, what do those tax officials know about business? The shopkeeper Ye Da recruited them for nothing more than borrowing money. It’s all about doing business under the influence of the tax officials. Those tax officials are happy to do nothing, and they can get hundreds of taels of silver from the shopkeeper Ye Da every year, so they let the shopkeeper Ye Da build the Songhe Tower on the wharf. After the Songhe Tower was built, businessmen from all over the world who came to the wharf to do business, as well as officials and businessmen from the Fusang Kingdom, all went to the Songhe Tower to drink and stay. Income. The shopkeeper Ye Da earns more money by sitting on the floor than by running around selling silk and satin. Moreover, he makes friends with officials of the Fusang Kingdom through the delicious food and wine in Songhe Tower, and he can enjoy both black and white. To Fusang Businessmen from various countries who do business in China often ask Master Ye for help when they have any difficulties. In this way, Master Ye earns more money, and he is really a powerful person.

"I have been here several times to work here, and I have a long-term friendship with shopkeeper Ye Da. Therefore, as soon as I entered the Songhe Tower, the staff went to report to shopkeeper Ye Da. Shopkeeper Ye Da came out to greet him personally. I heard that I want to book a table for banquets. He asked the best chef in Songhe Tower to cook twelve dishes for us, and he personally brought a few waiters to deliver the food and wine to the big ship, saying that he would have a few drinks with him. Right now, shopkeeper Ye Da is in the big cabin Waiting, I came here specially to invite Uncle Li and Miss Mu to have a few glasses of fine wine."

After listening to Ding Guan's words, Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said: "This shopkeeper Ye Da is a warm-hearted person. He has skillfully handled Fusang Kingdom, and he can enjoy both black and white dishes. He must be a great person. People. Being able to make friends with such powerful people, Li and Ms. Mu may save a lot of trouble when they go ashore to do business."

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Li is right. Shopkeeper Ye has been operating here for many years. He not only has a friendly relationship with the tax officials on the pier, but also has friendship with high officials and many famous names in the court of Fusang Kingdom. If he Willing to help, after Uncle Li and Miss Mu come ashore, if they encounter any trouble, as long as they report the name of shopkeeper Ye Da, both black and white will give some face."

Ding Guan finished speaking, only heard a "squeak", but Murong Danyan heard someone talking in the corridor, so he opened the door and came out to check.Seeing Murong Danyan come out, Ding Guan hastily stepped forward to pay his respects, and then told the story of Master Ye Da's dinner.Murong Danyan naturally had no objection, so he went to the big cabin with Li Qiufeng and Ding Guan.The three of them walked into the cabin, only to see a chunky man in his 40s standing respectfully by a table full of food and wine.Seeing Li Qiufeng and others coming in, the short fat man rushed forward to greet him, bowed and saluted, and said, "At Xiaye Fengchun, I pay my respects to Uncle Li, Miss Mu."

Li Qiufeng saw that this man had a wretched appearance, and thought to himself that such a vulgar person should have a somewhat elegant name.However, this person has cunning eyes and a hideous face, so he must be an extremely difficult person.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was on guard in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Master Ye, you don't need to be too polite. We are guests from afar, and we rely on Master Ye a lot. I would like to ask Master Ye to help me. Li is very grateful." .”

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Ye Fengchun hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Where does Uncle Li come from?! I don't dare, I don't dare. If Uncle Li has something to do, just tell me to do it. Dare I not do my best?!"

Murong Danyan listened to Ye Fengchun's words and thought to himself that this short fat man actually knew the surnames of Brother Li and me, so it was naturally Ding Guan who said it.This idiot didn't know Ye Fengchun's details, so he told me and Brother Li's surnames, it's really hateful.Thinking of this, Murong Danyan was dissatisfied, and glanced at Ding Guan, his eyes were even sinister.

Seeing Murong Danyan glaring at him, Ding Guan guessed what she was thinking, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Ye has a great reputation here, and he has to give him face both black and white. I have been with Master Ye for many years. He is a sincere friend. He heard that a friend of mine is going to Fusang country to do business, and he patted his chest and agreed to help without saying a word. Then I told him about Uncle Li and Miss Mu going to Hanshan Fishing Village. There is the shopkeeper Ye Help, Uncle Li and Miss Mu will have a smooth journey, and even if there are any difficulties, shopkeeper Ye will be able to settle them all."

When Murong Danyan heard Ding Guan's words, his heart was clear, and he knew that Ding Guan's words were quite meaningful, implying that he did not tell Ye Fengchun the origins of Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, and asked Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan not to worry. .Thinking of this, Murong Danyan heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Ding Guan was quite acquainted, and immediately smiled, and said: "Mr. Help, our affairs will be much easier to handle."
