Tian Shanhua pretended to be shocked, and then said seriously: "Sir, don't listen to the gangsters' nonsense, wait for me to ask." Tian Shanhua said and walked to the side of Buddha Sword Cai Han, squatted down with her fat body, panting: "Did I ask you to say that?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Who are you¡¡"
Before Cai Han could finish speaking, Tian Shanhua stabbed him in with a knife, and then stabbed him two or three more times. The majestic martial arts master was killed by the businessman.
Tian Shanhua wiped her blood-stained hands with Cai Han's clothes, and said to Jin Ying with a smile: "Master guard, don't be surprised. The people of Yongzhou are simple and honest, and there is no sand in their eyes. People who want to be officials are trying to get themselves married. There are too many people.¡±
"He said he knew you?"
"Haha, who doesn't know me in Xining County? I'll wash my hands and let's go see Lord Bai Ya together."
Jin Ying frowned. This method was much more powerful than those of the businessmen in Jizhou. They would kill immediately without any delay
As soon as Xiaoqing helped Bai Ya put on her official uniform, Jin Ying came back. He told Bai Ya what he saw. Bai Ya frowned. She didn't expect that these guys were so lawless, killing people whenever they wanted. They don't take national law seriously at all.
At this moment, Tian Shanhua had arrived, following Jin Ying, who went in to report. Tian Shanhua saw Jiang Qichen who was guarding outside. He was startled at first, then nodded and ran over, grabbed Jiang Qichen's hand and said, "You are Young Master Jiang, I have admired my name for a long time, I have admired my name for a long time."
"you know me?"
"A friend over there in Chang'an gave me a letter to edit, which contains Jiang Shaoxia's paintings. Today I saw him for the first time. Jiang Shaoxia is really talented, handsome, and suave."
Jiang Qichen smiled and rubbed the back of his head: "Look, you are a good person, why do you talk like a profiteer?"
The other salt merchants listened to the conversation between the two and sneered in their hearts. A letter from Chang'an told Tian Shanhua to be careful about Jiang Qichen. Everyone has read this important information. I originally thought that Jiang Qichen must be Bai Ya's think tank, but now it seems that this Jiang Qichen is simply a young boy who is not deeply involved in the world.
Is Tian Shanhua a good person? Forget it, Tian Shanhua is so ruthless. He has killed so many people to get to where he is today. If he is a good person, then the world will not be a bad person.
Bai Ya had already walked out of the inner hall at this time, and she also heard Jiang Qichen's words about Tian Shanhua being a good person. Different from what everyone else thinks, Bai Ya knows that Jiang Qichen has his own way of knowing people, or his intuition is very accurate. Jiang Qichen believes that good people may have vicious methods, but their hearts cannot be corrupted.
Thinking of this, Bai Ya happily gave up her plan. Originally, she planned to use the incident of Cai Han, the Buddhist sword, to give the salt merchants a show of strength. But she changed her mind and said with a smile on her face: "Boss Tian, ??I met a robber in Xining County. It's your fault."
"I was careless."
"Then you have to help me clean up the dust tonight. You are precious, otherwise you are not worthy of my status."
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, please call the boys here. I heard that we are going to discuss the diversion of the Yellow River. You"
"There's no rush, I've just arrived. I'll check out the public sentiment at your place tonight and we'll discuss this later."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Bai Ya got to know the major salt merchants in Xining County, booked a banquet for the evening, and then dispersed. Xiaoqing was a little unhappy and muttered: "Miss, we are short of money or we don't have enough force. Let's give in to such a bad guy."
Bai Ya glanced at Xiao Qing unhappily: "Do you want to take care of this matter?"
Xiaoqing realized her mistake and quickly saluted and said, "It was my fault, I shouldn't care."
Bai Ya smiled and said with dignity, "I'll ask Young Master Jiang to arrange a meal of beggar's chicken for me these days."
Xiaoqing opened her eyes wide and shook her head firmly: "Eating that thing will ruin your stomach."
"How do you know if you haven't eaten it?"
"It looks dirty."
"Who is the lady and who is the maid? Do I need your consent to eat whatever I want?"
"This has been the rule since childhood. I make the final decision on the young lady's food. I won't give in on this matter. Don't use your status as master to pressure me. It's useless, hum!"
"Hey, this girl!"
Bai Ya knew that the strategy was useless against Xiaoqing, so she might as well think about how to deal with Tian Shanhua at night
Tian Shanhua is also thinking about this problem, how to deal with Bai Ya. If the Ming Dynasty is not good enough, Bai Ya's side is too powerful, so it's Yin's fault.
"During the banquet in the evening, I arrested that maid named Bai Ya."
"There is a way to catch a maid."Is it? I heard that Teng Ruoyu, the daughter of the official, is following me, so I want to arrest her. "
Tian Shanhua glanced dissatisfied at the salt merchant who was speaking. The salt merchant quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
¡¡
In the evening, when Bai Ya went to the banquet, several men in black took Xiao Qing away, locked her in a small dark room, and guarded her outside. Bai Ya didn't know about it, and she was still chatting with the salt merchants at the banquet. She smiled heartily when she talked about what she was happy about. Jiang Qichen was not far away. He was holding a knife in his hands, watching Bai Ya eating and communicating, secretly admiring her.
"Sir, you have to promise us one thing. The diversion of the Yellow River into Xining County must be stopped."
Bai Ya¡¯s smile remained unchanged: ¡°Will I make this decision based on just one dinner?¡±
"Here is a silver note of one hundred thousand taels, and a contract with a salt merchant. Not only do you get a ready sum of silver, but our salt merchant will also help you earn money in the future."
Tian Shanhua said as she handed over the banknote and contract. Bai Ya didn't even look at it: "You should know that I am not short of money."
This time Tian Shanhua didn¡¯t say anything, and handed over a piece of paper, which said, ¡°Miss, I was arrested,¡± with a smiley face drawn on the back. The handwriting is Xiaoqing's, and the style is also Xiaoqing's.
"Although they are maids, they have grown up together and are like sisters. Can you save me?"
"Why do you want to do this?"
"Applying both soft and hard tactics is my method, Tian Shanhua."
Bai Ya thought about it for a while and said to Jiang Qichen behind him: "Young Master Jiang, light a stick of incense."
"Um!"
Jiang Qichen took the incense from his arms, lit it, and then sat next to Bai Ya. Tian Shanhua looked at the lit incense: "Are you going to think about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, or is this a secret signal to inform your guard Jin Ying that something went wrong at the banquet."
"This is a code, but it's not what you think. When Jin Ying sees some incense, he will go to your house. You have two sisters and three brothers. They are not related by blood, but they were with you when you were young and wandering. An inseparable relationship has been established. Your eldest sister is twenty-four years old and is reluctant to let her go. She has hired a son-in-law. The second brother has married a third wife, but they are all in the inner room. The other two brothers are studying, and the younger sister is still in school. She is young, but she has also reached the age of sixteen to be married."
"You are so cruel. I threaten you with one person, but you threaten me with a whole family."
"You are wrong. Xiaoqing is a more direct person. If she needs help, she will write "Miss, please help" on the paper. If she writes "Miss, I was arrested," this is just to show off. After experiencing some things in Chang'an, the girl is already willing to do anything. I'm smart. I can think of the same method as you, and she's not stupid either, so she'll find someone to protect her."
Tian Shanhua wiped the sweat from her forehead and licked her lips. The other salt merchants did not dare to speak and remained as quiet as the background.
"There is still a lot of incense, don't worry, the golden shadow may be slightly different after one stick of incense, but it won't be too much."
"I'm letting Xiaoqing go now, can we make it a draw?"
"Xiaoqing doesn't need you to let go."
"Then what are your conditions?"
¡°Agree to the change of course of the Yellow River, or tell me why the Yellow River has flooded every year in the past two years.¡±
Tian Shanhua breathed out hard. These two things were things that he couldn't decide. He gritted his teeth and made a decision. He said to Bai Ya seriously: "In addition to the salt merchant, I have another identity. I am the last one on the sky list." , No. 17, Old Ghost of the Yellow River."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the salt merchants present were stunned and looked at Tian Shanhua in amazement. If Tian Shanhua hadn't self-destructed, they would never have imagined that the leader of the salt merchants was actually the famous Old Ghost of the Yellow River.
"This has nothing to do with your decision. What we need is that the salt merchant leader agrees to change the route and divert the Yellow River water into the Tea Salt Lake."
"Don't you consider your own safety?"
"With Young Master Jiang here, this problem is not a problem."
Tian Shanhua¡¯s expression completely changed. When he was a salt merchant, he could be humble. But being the old ghost of the Yellow River means that he is a leader in the martial arts, and his status is too noble to be blasphemed.
"Jiang Shaoxia, do you think so too?"
Jiang Qichen smiled honestly: "Try it, I can compete with Zhou Kui on the Tianbang list." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
