The sick beauty has caught the bamboo horse

Chapter 74: March Has Passed

after March.

Liangzhe Road, the streets are still peaceful.Hawkers and children playing in the streets can be seen everywhere. Now that it is the beginning of summer and the weather is warm, even the beggars on the street are full of energy.Shouts, frolics, and even women's whispers could be heard clearly.

Three months ago, everyone felt that the sky was about to change. The old emperor died for no reason in his prime. The new emperor did not amnesty the world like other emperors. Sumeru will arrive.

Jingxi Road screamed and killed for a long time, and even the price of food on Liangzhe Road increased a lot.In those days, the stupid people were waiting for the price of grain to drop, and the smarter ones had already started hoarding grain.

Who would have expected that the price of grain would drop in a short time. It is said that the Pan family, a rich man on Jiangnan East Road, sold the grain at a low price to Liangzhe, which solved the urgent need.

"But isn't Jiangnan East Road the territory of the rebels?" someone said in the lobby of the restaurant.

This is a young man, with a handsome appearance and luxurious clothes, a folding fan is placed in front of the table, as if he looks otherworldly.

Sitting opposite him was a man who looked like a servant. Hearing this, he said "Ouch" and said, "My lord, when are you still talking about the rebels? Let's just eat real white rice, who knows?" Where does the food grow from?"

Brother Gongzi thought about it and felt that it made some sense, but the shock in his heart still lingered, so he planned to say a few more words.Before he opened his mouth, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a man in front of the door.

It was a very thin man, with a slender figure, thin waist and thin shoulders. He was wearing a light blue robe with wide sleeves and a white gauze.Upon closer inspection, the brows and eyebrows are also good, but the lips are flat and tight, which seems a bit indifferent.

Brother Young Master was in a trance for a moment.

There are a few followers behind the man, and it seems that the family is not short of wealth.

Brother Gongzi's eyes lit up, such a good-looking person should not get acquainted once or twice.Before he could take a step, he was dragged back by the servant at home.

Brother Young Master was a little annoyed: "Liu Da, what are you doing?"

Liu Da was helpless: "My little ancestor, the master asked you to come out to find a good girl to be a young mistress, so stop staring at men."

Seeing that the young master was still somewhat unhappy, Liu Da continued to say, "Besides, that person just now is not a simple person."

Liu Shaocheng was curious: "Why, which sect is he also a disciple?"

Liu Da packed his bags and said, "I don't think he looks like a martial artist, but the followers behind this man are all top-notch masters. The world is not peaceful now, and the master specially told him not to cause trouble. Young master, Let's go now."

Although Liu Shaocheng was arrogant but still obedient, he watched the man go up to the wing room on the third floor with reluctance, and then went out with Liu Da.

Tianzihao Wing Room on the third floor.

As soon as the man opened the door, there was a burst of tea fragrance, followed by the elegant silk and bamboo sound.

"Master Ji is here, please come in quickly. My master has been waiting for a long time." It was a soft female voice, and a soft soft hand opened the door completely and made a gesture of inviting in.Ji Cheng looked in the direction of his hand.

It's a young gentleman.

"Your Majesty Yuan please be safe." Ji Cheng walked in, only one of his attendants came in and the rest were outside.The woman who spoke just now closed the door and stood respectfully behind Master Yuan.

The prefect of Liangzhe Road was surnamed Yuan, and his name was Yuan Ming. He was the offshoot of the Yuan family who died. If Yuan Qiaoqiao was still alive, he would have to call him cousin.It stands to reason that the Yuan family has such a powerful person, and the whole family should move to join Yuan Ming.

But I don't know why Master Yuan from Jiangnan East Road didn't come to recognize this relative, and he still guarded his ancestral business on Jiangnan East Road.

If it wasn't for Ji Cheng's business in Liangzhe Road, Yuan Ming would not have known that his well-behaved and sensible little sister had died at the hands of Cui Zheng.

However, Ji Cheng was not interested in the Yuan family's family affairs, he came here this time following Xue Gong's order to take the largest grain merchant on Liangzhe Road as his own.

Ji Cheng lightly took a sip of tea: "My lord, half a month ago you said you had to think about it, but did you think about it today and got the result?"

Yuan Ming didn't expect Ji Cheng to strike at the vital point as soon as he came up. He was slightly stunned, and chuckled: "Mr. Ji is very straightforward."

Ji Cheng just smiled and said nothing.

Yuan Ming finally showed his true colors: "Since Mr. Ji is so straightforward, I will not hide it. I will not allow the purchase of the Liang family's land deed."

The expressions of the attendants behind the two of them changed a little, but the two righteous masters were quite calm.

Ji Cheng seemed not surprised by this result, and slowly put down his teacup: "I thought Master Yuan would be smarter."

Yuan Ming laughed twice: "I would be stupid if I agreed to buy and sell the land lease. In the past three months, Mr. Ji has sold grain at Liangzhe Road at low prices many times, and most of those retail investors are now in your pocket. Middle. If you get the land deed of the Liang family again, will the entire Liangzhe Road be named Ji?"

Having been punctured, Ji Cheng's tone was also very flat: "My surname is Pan. As the wife of the Pan family, I should take my husband's surname."

Yuan Ming didn't expect him to admit it so calmly, and he didn't even have the slightest dissatisfaction with being married to a prostitute as a man.Immediately, it was as if a punch had been punched in the cotton, and I didn't know what to do next.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Ji Cheng was the first to laugh: "Is Master Yuan not allowing me to buy the land deed because he is loyal to the new emperor or is he obsessed with the right to control Liangzhe Road?"

The smile on Yuan Ming's face subsided: "What's the difference between the two? It's a matter of being loyal to the emperor."

"Of course there is a difference." Ji Cheng said flatly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this door today for the former, and we still have room for discussion about the latter."

Yuan Ming's complexion changed drastically and he immediately wanted to rush out the door. The woman behind him smiled, and two hooks appeared out of nowhere, and they wrestled with Ji Cheng's followers.

It seemed that women still had the upper hand, Yuan Ming's expression settled down a bit: "What ability do you have to kill me here." In terms of manpower, Yuan Ming's manpower hidden near the restaurant is much more than that of Ji Cheng who just arrived here.

No matter how much Yuan Ming talked in this room, a black shadow masked in a black robe appeared behind the screen in the other room, and the knife was stuck on Yuan Ming's neck without anyone noticing it.

Yuan Ming was dripping with cold sweat.

Ji Cheng had a smiling face. He had learned from Xue Wenzhen in the past few months, and he used both methods of deployment and force: "Master Yuan, the prefect of Jingbei Road reached a contract with us yesterday."

Yuan Ming pursed his lips tightly.

Ji Cheng seemed to be unable to see the knife that could kill people: "Now the Jiangnan East Road, Jingbei Road, and Jingxi Road along the Yangtze River have fallen into the hands of Mr. Chu. If Kuizhou is to be transported, it must pass through the edge of the west of Beijing. "

A gleam flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes.

Ji Cheng continued: "Now the original country's north-south transportation is only left in Liangzhe, I guess the new emperor must have sent you a lot of letters in the past half month, and perhaps promised to hand over the soldiers and horses in Huainan to you. Right?"

Yuan Ming finally couldn't hold back the last bit of calmness: "How do you know?"

Ji Cheng: "Of course Mr. Chu told me."

"It's a pity that although the new emperor's words are nice, the soldiers and horses in Huainan are not under his control." Ji Cheng finally tried to see, "The death of Emperor Jiaxing is unclear. .”

"In fact, there are very few places that can be governed." Ji Cheng said, "So you still want to continue to be "loyal" to the new emperor?"

Yuan Ming's tight shoulders revealed his nervousness.He didn't speak for a long time.

Ji Cheng didn't talk to him too much, he turned around and put the agreement on the land sale and purchase on the table.The owner of the title deed, Mr. Liang, has already signed and pressed his fingerprints, and Ji Cheng has already signed it, and now it is only waiting for Yuan Ming's official seal as the prefect.

This matter will be a matter of course.

The scene fell into a subtle silence.

It wasn't until Ji Cheng picked up the cold tea that Yuan Ming's shoulders suddenly relaxed and heaved a sigh: "Biying, take my official seal."

Ji Cheng finally revealed a relaxed smile.

It was only after Yuan Ming left that Ji Cheng stood up: "So let's go back too."

These words were not addressed to the followers, but to the man in black.

The man in black took off his cloak, revealing a man's face—it was Pan Feisong.Finally, there was some calmness in the eyes of this blessed and innocent man.

Pan Feisong came over and held Ji Cheng's hand: "I didn't expect that the guards he brought were quite powerful."

Ji Cheng: "Well, it's a good thing you're here."

Pan Feisong has been studying martial arts with Shan Gui and Du Ruyi for the past three months.He has long passed the best age for learning martial arts, and Shan Gui and Du Ruyi didn't want to train him to be a top master, as long as he can have a middle-to-high martial arts ability to protect Ji Cheng outside.

Pan Feisong scratched his head in embarrassment: "Master Du said that I still need to practice my breathing."

Ji Cheng likes his cute appearance the most: "It's already very good."

Pan Feisong suddenly remembered something: "Is it also the landlord who said that to you?"

Ji Cheng shook his head: "No, Mr. Xue revealed it." Xue Wenzhen came to recruit the two of them because of Mr. Zhou, but now...

Ji Cheng didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were a little sad: "Is Mr. Zhou still awake?"

Pan Feisong shook his head obediently, and said softly: "A few days ago, the wound opened again, and the blood couldn't stop. The landlord stayed on guard for several nights before leaving for Huainan yesterday."

In three months, Chu Heng had captured Jingbei and Kuizhou, and now the battle line has reached Huainan Road.Pan Feisong saw Chu Heng coming out of the house during martial arts practice yesterday, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw the man.

If Ji Cheng was lying on the bed not knowing whether he would live or die, he thought he couldn't do that.But Chu Heng couldn't stop. He carried the lives of nearly 10 people on his shoulders, as well as the opportunity that Zhou Qingyan bought with his life.

Seven days later.

Ji Cheng and Pan Feisong finally arrived at Wolong County, Jiangnan East Road.Ji Cheng handed over the title deed to Xue Wenzhen as usual, but when he arrived at Xue Wenzhen's yard, he only saw Lu Qiang.

"He has gone to the Chu Mansion." Lu Qiang said while plucking chicken feathers.The rooster had died, and the red comb had fallen off.

Ji Cheng frowned: "What did he go to the Chu Mansion for?"

Lu Qiang's intelligence was limited. After hearing the words, he thought carefully for a long time before he uttered a few words slowly: "The landlord... come back, Zhou... wake up."

Ji Cheng's eyes lit up: "Master Zhou is awake?"
