Blood from Daming

Chapter 248 Street Market
Yan Sanniang met Miss Chen's uncle Chen Yuanwai in the backyard of her "Yan Mansion". Chen Yuanwai is now a very popular businessman in Hangzhou Mansion. Since returning to Hangzhou in February, he has sold a large number of North goods. According to people familiar with the matter, Chen Yuanwai earned at least tens of thousands of silver this time, and recently some shops in Hangzhou Shimian have sold a lot of exquisite gold, silver and jade wares. Some people privately suspect that he has something to do with Chen Yuanwai. The money earned goes to sea.

Chen Yuanwai also sent Yan Sanniang two domestic girls and many items used by women. Yan Sanniang was a little bit jealous of how these Jiangnan people gave them girls, and she was a woman who wanted so much for a headhunter. What's the girl doing? I'm afraid only that little fellow Xue Yun likes this tune.

Yan Sanniang smiled and said to Chen Yuanwai: "You are sister Chen's uncle, that is, my uncle. I just didn't make it in time to visit the elders today. Now I want the elders to come to meet me. I am really embarrassed."

Member Chen said with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Xue, my niece is under your care. Madam should come to Hangzhou as a relative or business partner."

Yan Sanniang said, "Uncle Chen has a heart." Yan Sanniang felt very comfortable when Chen Yuanwai called her his wife, and she didn't bother to correct it.

Chen Yuanwai said: "Madam, you have come to Hangzhou to do business. I don't know if there is any place for me to work for you."

Yan Sanniang pondered for a while and said: "I came to Jiangnan this time mainly to arrest the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect, but the Xue family is determined to find a seaport in Hangzhou."

Member Chen was a little confused after hearing Yan Sanniang's words. After thinking for a while, he still understood the real purpose of the Xue family and asked, "Madam, should we go to sea or take the canal?"

Yan Sanniang said, "Go to sea."

Chen Yuanwai shuddered all over his body when he heard it. Could it be that the Xue family wants to eat the rice of the sea? But then again, as long as the Xue family wants to eat the rice of the sea, there are really few people who are capable of stopping the Xue family's boat from going into the sea. As for the sea ban, even ordinary civilians and businessmen can't stop it now, let alone a prince like Xue Yun with tens of thousands of armor.

Chen Yuanwai said to Yan Sanniang: "Madam, if you want to build a sea wharf, it's better to be near Haining County, so that large ships can come in and out. If there is a better wharf, it will be outside the scope of Hangzhou Prefecture."

Yan Sanniang said: "If Uncle Chen is convenient, see if he can take my men to Haining County to have a look. It is best to buy a wharf and shipyard."

Although Chen Yuanwai didn't know why Yan Sanniang was so eager to get the pier and boats, he knew that there were some things he should not know, so he agreed to send someone to accompany Yan Sanniang's men to Haining County.

Chen Yuanwai said: "Madam, our Chen family caravan went to Cangzhou with a batch of goods recently. I think about whether to go or let someone else in my family go instead. I stay in Hangzhou and I can buy ships at the dock. The Xue family will do something."

Yan Sanniang said: "I'm afraid I feel a little embarrassed in Xue's house."

Chen Yuanwai said: "Ma'am, there, there, they are all one family."

Yan Sanniang said: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the Xue family. This time Uncle Chen's fleet has arrived in Cangzhou. It is estimated that the caravan to Datong has returned to the capital for a while. I believe there will be plenty of goods from the north."

Member Chen was very happy to hear Yan Sanniang's words, but Yan Sanniang was a little depressed. Today, he met with Xu Zhifu, but Xu Zhifu didn't mention anything about the Xue family's in-laws, the Hangzhou Qian family. Yan Sanniang wanted to know The recent situation of the Qian family in Hangzhou was difficult to talk about, so I chatted casually with Chen Yuanwai, and Chen Yuanwai knew that Yan Sanniang's pommel horse was tired and wanted to rest, so he got up, bid farewell to Yan Sanniang and left Yan's mansion.

When Yan Sanniang got up the next day, the servant girl outside the house came to report, and the people sent by Chen Yuan of Hangzhou Mansion to Haining County were waiting in the mansion. Yan Sanniang called Liu Ben, Lou San and the other two ordered them to take their men along the coast of Haining County to find or buy a large deep-water wharf.

A nephew of the Chen family was dispatched by Chen from Hangzhou Mansion. He was familiar with shipping affairs. After the two parties met, they left Yan Mansion together. , I gathered everyone outside the city and went to Haining County to inspect the shipping terminal there.

At noon, Uncle Min of Yan Sanniang came to the backyard to report the news. The Qian family in Hangzhou was imprisoned because they secretly linked up with the White Lotus Sect gangsters. There was a lot of trouble, and it had already aroused the attention of the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang Province and the Department of Criminal Justice and Procuratorate of Zhejiang Province who were also in charge of Hangzhou.

Yan Sanniang knew that it was the Xue family who retaliated against the Qian family for being rude to their daughter-in-law Xue Aorao. Although Yan Sanniang felt that the Xue family had gone too far this time, the Qian family had indeed behaved very dishonestly over the years, and they always acted like everyone in the south of the Yangtze River was superior to others. His appearance was indeed extremely rude to the Xue family.

As Xu Zhifu is a newcomer in Hangzhou and an official from the northern department, he won the famous wealthy Qianfu in Hangzhou not long after he arrived in Hangzhou. The wealthy gentry in Hangzhou were afraid of becoming the next fat sheep in the eyes of Xu Zhifu, so they ventilated and united with each other Rising up to deal with the prefect Xu, these Jiangnan gentry who regard the northerners as country bumpkins, on the one hand, went to the Chief Secretary Hang Yandao, the Zhejiang Chief Secretary, and the Zhejiang Procuratorate to respond to the situation, and hoped that the higher authorities of the Hangzhou government would intervene in the case of the Qian family. .

After hearing this, Yan Sanniang knew that Prefect Xu was in trouble, and Prefect Xu was too embarrassed to tell herself, but Yan Sanniang knew that someone had to tie the bell to untie the bell, so it seemed that she had to figure out a way, otherwise these gentry and citizens If the matter becomes serious, it will not be a good thing for Xue House or Xu Zhifu.

Yan Sanniang asked: "Uncle Min, how is my aunt doing now?"

Min Chenglin said: "Prefect Xu didn't move Qian Kai's family, but asked Qian Kai to ask a few times. Miss, I heard from colleagues in Hangzhou that the procurator Wu, the procurator of the Zhejiang Procuratorate, was from a family in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that this case will be taken over by the Zhejiang Procuratorate soon."

Yan Sanniang pondered for a while and said: "Uncle Min, I heard from the young master that there was a master of the Qian family who left the Qian family. You take someone to find him and bring him to me after you find him. Well, hurry up as much as possible, don't be reluctant to spend money." money."

Min Chenglin got Yan Sanniang's order and withdrew from the backyard. Yan Sanniang knew that the case of the Qian family involved a secret struggle between the Jiangnan gentry and Xu Zhifu, and now that the Xue family was involved again. I don't want to intervene, but Xu Zhifu, whom Xue's family relies heavily on, ended up in disgrace in Hangzhou Mansion because he vented his anger on Xue's family. It would be troublesome if he was even punished or dismissed. To protect Xue's mansion, Yan Sanniang is determined to defeat the challenge of the Jiangnan gentry to Xue's family and Xu Zhifu.

Yan Sanniang saw that no one came to see her at the side of Xu Zhifu at noon. She knew that Xu Zhifu wanted her to rest well, or she was embarrassed to ask for help, so as not to be underestimated by the Xue family. Yan Sanniang felt that staying in the courtyard It's not the same thing, so I took my two personal soldiers to the streets.

Seeing that Yan Sanniang was going out, Wang Defa of the Hundred Households hurriedly brought Wu Bing and dozens of his subordinates to follow behind Yan Sanniang. It seemed like how could I go out to handle the case, but Wang Defa and Wu Bing had good intentions, so Yan Sanniang had no choice but to send soldiers to tell Wang Defa to stay away from her as much as possible. As long as Wang Defa and Wu Bing agreed to follow, they would naturally agree .

Yan Sanniang left her Yan Mansion and walked along the avenue in front of the Hangzhou Mansion Yam. The surrounding area of ​​the Hangzhou Mansion Yame is the most prosperous area in Hangzhou. It was noon, and there was still a steady stream of citizens on the street. There were many shops on both sides of the street. There were all kinds of warehouses in the north and south, and a complete range of Western goods.

Yan Sanniang is dressed as a scholar. Sanniang was originally beautiful, but now she changed into men's clothing, which is even more serious. She has completely become a handsome young man in the world. Yan Sanniang is a tall and tall northerner with red lips and white teeth. She walks on the streets of Hangzhou It seemed that Pan An was reborn and Zidu was reborn, and he was constantly bumped into leftover engine jams by people in the crowded crowd, and most of them were done by women.

Yan Sanniang was so angry that she looked at all kinds of men and women who took advantage, but these men and women turned their heads to look at Yan Sanniang from time to time, making Yan Sanniang angry when she saw these vulgar village women, Yan Sanniang looked up and saw A wine watcher quickly squeezed past her. As soon as Yan Sanniang left the street, she felt her waist was squeezed bitterly. Yan Sanniang turned her head and saw that it was a woman who was nearly forty years old. Winking at herself, Yan Sanniang looked at this ugly woman who looked down on the citizens and almost vomited her lunch, so she hurried into the shop where "Jiuwangzi" stood.

When Yan Sanniang woke up, she realized that she had entered a large restaurant. The waiter in charge of the reception was already greeting Yan Sanniang. Yan Sanniang saw a few men and women with malicious intentions laughing outside the store, and she suddenly felt a With goose bumps all over her body, Yan Sanniang didn't want to play in the street anymore, so she followed Xiaoer to the second floor of the restaurant.

Yan Sanniang sat down on the window seat on the second floor before she slowly calmed down. She said that it was all caused by Xue Yun, the little fellow. She was wearing silk and satin and wearing rare jade articles, as if she was a If the sons of rich and noble families came out to handle cases in the past, most of them would wear coarse clothes and linen clothes, and they would be dressed as ordinary civilians. It is really embarrassing to have such an appearance that attracts attention.
