Two singing Miao songs

Chapter 22 Interlude

He Ruoyu woke up amidst the fierce quarrel between the two.

"You are crazy, you actually tied him back. We can't move this man."

"Why, you're afraid, you don't want to take revenge on your brother?"

These two voices sound familiar, and He Ruoyu knows after a while that they are Hu Shan and Liu Shusheng who escaped from prison.Only then did he remember what he had experienced before he lost consciousness.

His last memory is still in the noisy market.

The market was very lively that day, and the people seemed to be in high spirits, with smiles on their faces.Whether it's a vendor or a customer, they all laughed, and He Ruoyu walked through several stalls like this.Still unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked a peddler.

"Shopkeeper, is today a festive day? Everyone looks so happy?"

Only by asking this question did I find out why.

The peddler replied with a smile: "The guest officer is not a local. The guest officer does not know that, in our Suzhou city, this time of the year is the time when there are the most foreigners, and everyone comes for the 'Hundred Flowers Festival'."

He Ruoyu was even more confused after hearing what the peddler said.

March in Yangchun is a good time for flowers to bloom and enjoy flowers.Now that it is almost summer, how can we talk about enjoying flowers, and how can we hold a "Hundred Flowers Festival".

"This 'Hundred Flowers Festival' is not an ordinary flower." The peddler pretended to be mysterious, "The flowers displayed at this Hundred Flowers Festival cannot be seen in other places, otherwise there would not be so many flowers from other places every year. People traveled thousands of miles to Suzhou."

Now, He Ruoyu became even more curious. He wanted to stay in Suzhou to take a look at the Hundred Flowers Festival, but also wanted to go back to help Amei as soon as possible.However, in the end, he was still more worried about his sister.Just as he was about to walk back, a strong hand caught him squarely.He Ruoyu was unprepared, and was dragged into the alley by the man, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Instinctively, he reached into his waist, only to find the empty basket, and then he remembered that he had used up all the Gu worms before, and there was not a single one left.Before he could turn around and call the two servants who had taken him out, he only felt a sap hit on the back of his neck, and his memory was also broken.

Thinking of this, He Ruoyu felt a dull pain in the back of his neck, which made him just want to move his neck.But at this time, his hands were bound and he was placed in a sack, unable to move a single bit, his mouth was tightly blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.What he can see in front of his eyes is only the rough cloth surface of the sack, and the rest depends on the sound in his ears.

Fortunately, he was wrapped in a sack at this time.As long as he doesn't move, Hushan and Liu Shusheng will not know that he has awakened.He could take this opportunity to prick up his ears, trying to hear what the two of them were planning.

At this time, Hushan and Liu Shusheng were arguing about catching He Ruoyu.

"Joke, I have been a bandit for so many years, when have I ever been afraid." Hu Shan said in a rough voice, "However, that girl said that we only want to trouble Jiang Yu, and let us not touch this dwarf. How can you say that? without faith."

girl?

He Ruoyu frowned, not understanding why someone would attack Jiang Yu.

"Hmph, not keeping your word?" Liu Shusheng mocked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "Why don't you think about how our brothers died?"

Liu Shusheng seemed to be irritated, and his tone became more and more unfriendly: "Half of the brothers, dozens of people, were killed by this short man! We will not take back these dozens of lives for the brothers. Huang Quan, how can I face them?"

"Mr. Liu, what you said is too unfounded. Why, when brother died, he was playing the flute, so you said he killed the man. I have never seen anyone who can kill while playing the flute. " Hu Shan said helplessly, "Besides, with such a sack, how can we get out of the city?"

Listen, they should still be in Suzhou City now.

He Ruoyu thought about it, he moved his fingers hard, trying to untie the hemp rope that bound him, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big to cause the two of them to think.After going back and forth again and again, he was so tired that his fingers cramped but he couldn't get any effect, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed secretly.

Suddenly, Hu Shan picked up the sack containing He Ruoyu and carried it on his shoulder.He Ruoyu was taken aback by the sudden sense of flying into the air.In a panic, it was Jiang Yu's face that jumped out of his mind, his nose felt sour, and he thought, please come and save me quickly.

Jiang Yu, who had just welcomed the merchants into the dock, felt his heart skip a beat.He turned his head and frowned and looked at the gradually receding shore, always feeling restless.Feng Mengqiao, who was one step ahead, walked out of the dock. Seeing Jiang Yu still standing at the bow looking at the ferry, he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Oh, we will only stay on the boat for two hours, so there is no need to be so nostalgic. Go in, Boss Zhang is still waiting." .”

Jiang Yu nodded, and followed Feng Mengqiao into the dock, completely unaware that Jiang's residence had become a mess.

The servant who reported back to the government told Steward Jiang the whole story.Fortunately, Steward Jiang is also a person who has experienced the world, so he immediately sent someone from the front office to inform Zhao Xin, the head arrester, hoping that he would come forward to find out where Hushan and Liu Shusheng were.On the other side, Steward Jiang hurriedly sent people to the ferry to inform Jiang Yu.

A servant asked hesitantly: "The young master doesn't like people interrupting him when he is discussing important business. Will the young master be angry if he does this?"

Steward Jiang said firmly: "Master He has an accident. If we don't notify him in time, he will be angry. Hurry up."

Jia Ding nodded blankly, no longer hesitated, and ran towards the ferry.

Steward Jiang stood guard at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, with his hands folded, his palms covered in cold sweat.He kept saying in his heart, Master He, please don't let anything happen.

Besides, on the yamen side, as soon as Zhao Xin heard that the fugitives Hu Shan and Liu Shusheng were still in Suzhou City, and even arrested them, he immediately picked up his knife and walked out of the yamen, just in time to bump into Feng Qiaoshan who came here to look for him.Zhao Xin didn't explain, his eyes didn't stay on Feng Qiaoshan, he stepped straight out of the threshold, no matter what Feng Qiaoshan called out behind him, he didn't mean to stop.

Letting the prisoner slip away from him was already a great humiliation for Zhao Xin.Now that these two people are still committing crimes in Suzhou City, how could he bear it any longer.Clenching the weapon tightly in his hand, Zhao Xin's face was as dark as ink, and it was imperative to arrest the two of them.

On the boat, Feng Mengqiao put on a smiling face and smiled at the potbellied "Boss Zhang" in front of him: "Boss Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Yu, Boss Jiang, one of the top silk merchants in Suzhou City."

Zhang Nancai puffed out his stomach, pointed his nostrils at Jiang Yu, and snorted, "Boss Jiang? I only know one Boss Jiang in Suzhou, named Jiang Yuan. Why don't you see him today?"

Being despised, Jiang Yu was not annoyed, and respectfully gave Zhang Nancai a junior salute, and said, "Jiang Yuan is my father. Five years ago, my father had entrusted the burden of being the head of the family to the younger generation. Today, the younger generation has the courage to come and meet with Zhang Nancai." Boss Zhang is talking about business."

"Well, it's no wonder that I haven't heard anything from the Jiang family in Suzhou in the past few years." The implication is naturally to mock Jiang Yu's failure to manage the Jiang family's business and insult the family's reputation.In the end, he did not forget to say to Feng Mengqiao earnestly: "Nephew, you will inherit your father's family business in the future, so you must behave well."

"Yes, the younger generation will remember Zhang Shibo's teachings." Feng Mengqiao responded with a dry smile, but he was muttering in his heart. I don't know if this piece of Nancai is true or not. Jiang Yu has made an unknown number of big deals in just a few years. The business world praised him for being young and successful, with a bright future, so how could Zhang Nancai become a family sinner who humiliated his family business.

However, no matter how hurtful Zhang Nancai's words were, Jiang Yu responded with a decent smile and responded to his difficulties neither humble nor overbearing.Obviously, many geisha performed dances in front of the three of them, which should have been a charming atmosphere, but the atmosphere in the dock was never comfortable.

At first, Feng Mengqiao enjoyed the process of the beauties singing softly behind the curtain and the few people talking about buying and selling.But after a long time, he found that there was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the dock, which made him extremely uncomfortable.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Yu also seemed very impatient today. Although he had a smile on his face, his aura was a bit sharp and aggressive.Several times, Feng Mengqiao could hear the sarcasm in his words, and he was really worried that if Zhang Nancai didn't go his way, the deal would fall through.

Before he could get used to the smoke-free business communication, a servant ran in and whispered something in Jiang Yu's ear.

I don't know what he said, Jiang Yu was still smiling a moment ago, and he could sit still in the face of Zhang Nancai's various remarks with guns and sticks, but the next moment, his whole face collapsed, and the determination in his eyes flew into the air. No trace.He stood up and rushed out of the dock, even knocking down the teacup on the table in a haste.

A full cup of Biluochun was spilled on the tablecloth and Jiang Yu's clothes.He didn't care, didn't even take a second look, and hurried out of the dock, startling the two people at the same table, not knowing what was going on.

Feng Mengqiao hurriedly made an apologetic smile to Zhang Nancai, chased Jiang Yu out of the dock, and took several strides to grab the man before he got into the boat.

Feng Mengqiao was in a hurry, grabbed someone and asked, "Hengzhi, what are you rushing to do? Boss Zhang is still waiting inside. Seeing that the sale of several thousand taels is about to be concluded, what are you doing?" Just go, whatever you say."

Jiang Yu frowned, and said: "Zhongliang, I'll leave this place to you. Something happened to He Ruoyu, I have to go back now." As he spoke, he pulled Feng Mengqiao's hand away, and went to Jiang's family, Ding Hua. boat.

"No, Hengzhi, this is a sale of several thousand taels. He Ruoyu is just a distant relative from Miaojiang. It's not too late for you to negotiate a deal before going back. You have always attached great importance to money. It's about time , naturally it is more important to negotiate this business."

At this time, Jiang Yu had already stood still on the boat, but Feng Mengqiao was still holding on to the railing of the boat, struggling for the last time, hoping that Jiang Yu could stay and negotiate the business before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu just dropped a word and walked away, leaving the dazed Feng Mengqiao on the boat.

"Now, He Ruoyu is more important."
