I will never be Renzong

Chapter 136 Shen Moran is Going to Jiezhou

"Do you really have to go?"

Inside the New Moon Restaurant, Zhao Zhen looked at Shen Moran and asked.

"Although I don't know much about history, I also know the importance of salt to the ancient feudal dynasties. If you hand over the pool salt in Jiezhou to the Royal Chamber of Commerce to manage and trade it, I naturally have to go there myself!"

Shen Moran said to Zhao Zhen.

"I remember that you recruited a lot of people who are good at doing business? Wouldn't it be enough to just send one to deal with it?"

Zhao Zhen asked.

Shen Moran glanced at Zhao Zhen, and explained: "The Royal Chamber of Commerce has been continuously integrating and has begun to expand to all walks of life. Although I have many salt merchants under my command, they still use the original method, that is, exchange salt for salt." , and in my conception, if I want to run the salt pond in Jiezhou well, the salt farmer and the sales model need to be changed. There are too many links involved in the process. Come on, you also know that Song Dynasty people will find it difficult to understand many business operations in later generations!"

"What? Does the dignified Song Dynasty official family not believe me?"

Shen Moran asked with a smile.

Zhao Zhen grabbed Shen Moran's hand and said: "You are my wife, how can I not believe in your ability, but I can't bear you to leave!"

Shen Moran got up and came to Zhao Zhen's side, and then gently snuggled into his arms.

"If everything goes well, I will be back in three or two months. Even if it doesn't go well, it will only take a year or so at most!"

"Husband! Just promise me!"

Shen Moran said softly.

"What did you call me just now?"

"I didn't hear clearly!"

"Can you yell again?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Shen Moran and smiled.

"husband~"

In Jiezhou, Shaanxi Road, a banquet is being held in a bustling mansion.

Today is the day when the only son of Shaanxi Zhizhou Qian Weiguan took the seventh concubine. Not only all the officials in Xiezhou City came to congratulate him, but also the salt merchants from various prefectures on Shaanxi Road also came with gifts.

They dare not not come, because Qian Weiguan controls the large and small salt ponds in Jiezhou. If he interferes, even if the salt merchants have salt money, they may not be able to exchange for good salt. high prices and then profit from it.

Qian Weiguan looks mediocre and fat, but he is cunning and treacherous, greedy for money and lustful. Song Zhenzong likes auspiciousness, so he made up a message and offered auspiciousness before he got an official position. He bribed Ding Wei, so he was promoted to Jiezhou Zhizhou.

It stands to reason that after Ding Wei's downfall, he should have been implicated, but for some reason, he escaped by luck.

Right after he took office, he bought all officials, big and small, who could be bought by him, and those who could not be bought, either sent people to assassinate them, or bribed the ministers in court to transfer them away, so in less than two years, he became an acquaintance. The emperor of the state.

And the salt pond that makes the most money in Xiezhou is undoubtedly Yanchi. He dare not accept bribes from the salt merchants on the surface, but he collects the filial money from the salt merchants through concubines and wedding gifts. In the past few years, he has taken seven or eight concubines.

There was a salt merchant who couldn't bear to see him being so domineering and evil. He united with several salt merchants and wanted to go to the capital to file a lawsuit. However, he didn't want to let the news out. He was captured by his minions before he left Jiezhou.

In order to establish his prestige, Qian Weiguan executed a few salt merchants on the grounds of having an affair with mountain bandits, and then hosted a banquet for salt merchants big and small in Xiezhou. Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, deeply afraid that if he is not careful, he will kill him, and he will die, and he is afraid that his wife and daughter will become his slaves.

Maybe he had done too many bad things and was punished by God. Qian Weiguan had more than fifty dollars, and he had many wives and concubines, but he only had one son, and he was a fool. When his son grew up, Qian Weiguan married a wife for him and wanted to marry him. He had opened up branches and leaves for the Qian family earlier, but unexpectedly, his son was not only mentally handicapped, but also physically handicapped, unable to carry on the family line.

Qian Weiguan was so heartbroken, since his son couldn't do it, Lao Tzu did it himself, so on a dark and stormy night, he did something utterly unconscionable, and his daughter-in-law naturally couldn't stand such insults, so He almost committed suicide by throwing himself into a well the next day.

Afterwards, Qian Weiguan married his stupid son again, and every wedding night in the bridal chamber was actually performed by him in person, but after two or three years of tossing around like this, several lives were lost, but there was still nothing. God does not want such a villain to have descendants.

Therefore, Qian Weiguan began to visit warlocks all over the world, wanting them to change his fate against the sky, so as to pass on the incense. In the end, Qian Weiguan believed a fortune teller's words, that is, his fate is too hard, and he needs to find someone with the same fate. Only by fighting poison with poison can a strong woman continue to be popular.

Therefore, Qian Weiguan sent minions to cast a net and finally let him find such a woman in Shancheng County, Jiezhou. , now 28 years old, five fiances died in 13 years, it can be said that fate is very hard.

Ever since, Qian Weiguan began to come to propose marriage to his stupid son, but he didn't think that even though his daughter was at this age and had a reputation as Kefu, Yuanwai Liu still didn't want his only daughter to marry Qian Weiguan's stupid son. , just refused.

Seeing that Qian Weiguan's marriage proposal was rejected, he put a wrench on Liu Yuanwai and put him in prison. In the end, Liu Ruoyun had to commit himself to marry Qian Weiguan's stupid son in order to save his father.

Qian Mansion, when the banquet was halfway through, Qian Weiguan hurriedly walked towards the backyard. At this time, his mind was full of thoughts about the reception of the family, but when he came to the wing room in the backyard, he found that the bride had already been married. disappeared.

In the backyard of Qian's mansion, a gorgeously dressed woman with disheveled hair was kneeling on the ground, and Qian Wei looked at her fiercely, wishing to eat her up in one bite.

This woman is Qian Weiguan's fourth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su. The first three daughter-in-laws could not bear his abuse and either threw themselves into a well, cut their wrists, or hanged themselves. Watch her whole family and threaten her.

The Su family hated Qian Weiguan to death, but did not dare to take any action. He has been bearing the burden of humiliation, while being insulted by Qian Weiguan, while collecting evidence for Qian Weiguan, hoping that one day he can sue this corrupt official .

"You are so brave! How dare you let the young master's concubine go!"

Qian Weiguan stepped forward and slapped Su's face fiercely.

"Qian Weiguan, you shameless bastard, you say you are taking a concubine for your son, but what you actually satisfy is your own selfish desire. You don't even spare your own daughter-in-law. A villain like you still wants to have offspring. Dream it!"

Su Shi spat out a mouthful of blood, and then shouted without giving in.

"Master! It's not good!"

Suddenly, a man with the appearance of an official ran to Qian Weiguan's ear and whispered a few words.

Qian Weiguan immediately said angrily to Su, "You have known for a long time that the salt pond will be managed by the Royal Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Su laughed loudly: "Not only do I know that Yanchi will be managed by the Royal Chamber of Commerce, but I also know that the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce will come in person. To tell you the truth, Sister Ruoyun has brought me to collect your criminal evidence over the years. Meet the chairman, it will be your end!"

"Hehe! Stupid woman, do you think you can force me to submit like this? Let me tell you, let alone a president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, even if the official family comes today, I want him to go and never return!"

"Steward Qian! Go and send a message to the creditors of Heifengzhai, telling them to dig three feet into the ground and bring Liu Ruoyun back to me."

Qian Weiguan said to Qian San.

After Qian San left, Qian Wei took a look at Su Shi who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted, "Where is Qiu Ba?"

"Sir! Qiu Ba is here. I wonder what your orders are."

A guard who was blind in one eye and looked fierce came in from the outside to pray.

Qiu Ba is Qian Weiguan's confidant guard. He trains dead soldiers for Qian Weiguan, and secretly does some shady things. He is Qian Weiguan's right-hand man. The dead men are going to catch the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the best one can be caught alive, if they can't be caught, they will be killed by the official, but remember not to reveal their identity!"

"Don't worry, my lord! The subordinates will definitely do their best!"

Qiu Ba hurriedly prayed.

"This operation is very important, so it's not that I don't trust you."

As he spoke, Qian Weiguan took out a grain of poison from his bosom and handed it to Qiu Ba.

Qiu Ba was a little stunned. He was a gangster who was wanted by the government in his early years, and he worked for him only after he got Qian Weiguan's protection, but it was far from the level of working hard.

"Don't worry! When you come back, I will naturally give you the antidote!"

Qian Weiguan said again.

"My lord! The villain can eat this poison, but before that, can my lord agree to the villain's request!"

Qiu Ba asked.

"Say! No matter what request, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"

Qian Weiguan thought, as long as you take the poison, you still have to obey him obediently.

"I want her to serve me once!"

Qiu Ba looked at Su Shi greedily.

The Su family is mature and charming, and Qian Weiguan likes it very much, so after she succumbed to her, she took care of all the affairs of the house, so she knew exactly how much money she was greedy for.

"do not want!"

Su yelled in horror.

"I promise you, after the matter is completed, she will be yours!"

Qian Weiguan gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay! It's a deal, but before that, I, Qiu Ba, will charge some interest!"

After finishing speaking, Qiu Ba picked up Su Shi who was on the ground, and walked towards the inner room.

Qian Weiguan's face was ugly, because Su was her favorite daughter-in-law. Not only was she charming, but she was also smart, which pleased him very much. He just wanted to fool Qiu Ba first, but he didn't want Qiu Ba to stop eating. This set.

After a while, Su's screams and Qiu Ba's triumphant laughter came from inside.

After a stick of incense, Qiu Ba walked out contentedly, and then took the poison from Qian Weiguan's hand and swallowed it without even looking at it.

"Young lady is really good. Qiu Ba is very satisfied. Sir, just wait for the good news from Qiu Ba!"

Qiu Ba ignored Qian Weiguan's livid face, and walked out after saying a word.

Steward Qian came in, looked at Qian Weiguan whose face was against the wall, and whispered, "Master! Do you want to find someone?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"In the troubled times right now, desperadoes like Qiu Ba are still of great use!"

Qian Weiguan said after a while.

"Master! The young mistress has suffered such humiliation, I'm afraid she will be overwhelmed!"

Steward Qian suddenly asked tentatively.

"If she dares to think about it and seek death, then I will sell all her younger sisters to the brothel after playing with them!"

Qian Weiguan said viciously that he might have some scruples about dealing with a desperado like Qiu Ba, but he obviously didn't take a weak woman to heart.

Heifengzhai is the largest bandit in Jiezhou. Because of Qian Weiguan's protection from Zhizhou, he lived a very prosperous life. After receiving Qian Weiguan's order, he immediately sent people to hunt Liu Ruoyun around.

Liu Ruoyun, a weak woman, escaped from Zhizhou's government office with the help of Su's family, but she did not escape from Xiezhou City, because Qian Weiguan quickly blocked Xiezhou City and started searching from house to house. Yamen servants strictly check passers-by.

"stop!"

A woman dressed like a nun was about to leave the city when she was stopped by a servant.

"Who are you? Where are you going?"

The middle-aged yamen servant came towards the woman with a young yamen servant.

"Benefactor, the poor nun is a nun from Yutou nunnery. She came to the city for alms and is about to go back!"

The woman lowered her head and replied, but it could be seen that her forehead was covered with beads of sweat!

"The nun in Yutou nunnery?"

The middle-aged yamen servant suddenly took off the hat on the woman's head, and then took out a portrait for comparison.

"Well! You can go!"

The middle-aged yamen servant took a look at the little nun with a bare head in front of him, and then at Liu Ruoyun with the phoenix crown and xiapei on the portrait. He felt nothing like it, so he let him go.In fact, if he observes carefully, he will find that the person on the portrait is after heavy makeup.

Suddenly the young yamen servant pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Brother! This little nun has delicate skin and tender flesh. She looks like a baby at first glance. Can you give it to my younger brother!"

These two yamen servants are Qian Weiguan's confidantes, and they have done many bad things. Most of the nuns who came to the city for alms in Yutou'an are in their forties or fifties, and the middle-aged yamen servants are just like this. They went to the grove and defiled them.

The middle-aged yamen servant took another look at the trembling little nun, and said: "It's too tender, it's not my dish, you can take it if you like it! But you must know that no one will be killed. If an old nun enters the city next time, remember to give it to me." I am on duty!"

"Thank you bro!"

The young yamen servant hurriedly paid homage, then walked up to the little nun and said, "The road has been rough recently, and this yamen servant will personally escort you to the Yutou nunnery! Hurry up and lead the way."

Seeing this, the little nun had no choice but to walk towards the Yutou nunnery, but as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, the young government servant suddenly showed her wolfish nature and forced the little nun into the jungle beside her with a knife.

Seeing this, the little nun was so frightened that she slumped on the ground, and the food she got for begging was scattered all over the floor. The young yamen servant became more proud of seeing this, threw the saber to one place, and then roared and rushed towards the little nun.

Just when he was tearing the little nun's clothes, the little nun took out a dagger from nowhere and put it on his neck.

"Girl, spare me! I~"

"Brush~"

Before he finished yelling, the little nun gave a sudden force, and blood spurted out from his neck. He tightly covered his neck with both hands, then fell to the ground and struggled a few times before not moving.

After seeing the death of the Yacha, the little nun just sat on the ground and panted heavily. This little nun was none other than Liu Ruoyun who escaped from the Zhizhou government office.

Whether Liu Ruoyun can successfully meet Shen Moran and predict what will happen next will be analyzed in the next chapter.
