Liu Yuru looked at him making a fool of himself and suddenly her heart softened.
“You’re drunk.” She smiled and said, “We both got married long ago.”
“No,” Gu Jiusi shook his head, “not married. It doesn’t count.”
He had no strength, and leaned against Liu Yuru, repeatedly denying, “That’s, that’s what the old man forced me to do, not to get married.”
Liu Yuru sighed.
The two of them got married at that time, who was not forced to do so?
She was thinking that this was just a nightmare, that she could wake up and be her Miss Liu, and then marry the man she wanted, Ye Shian.
It’s just a good thing that by mistake, she married this man in front of her.
She does not know if it would be better to marry Ye Shian, but think, with the rules of the Ye family, she is afraid that she will be in the Ye family’s back house, the rules of the branches and leaves, for her husband to take care of the back house is finished. The company’s main goal is to provide a good service to its customers.
She snuggled with Gu Jiusi, softly said: “Whether forced or not, we both became, I am going to be with you for life.”
“I don’t want…”
Gu Jiusi’s voice was a little slurred, and Liu Yuru froze, her heart a little bitter.
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem.
Liu Yuru’s heart was in turmoil when she heard Gu Jiusi say, “I want to marry you.”
He murmured: “I want to start over… I want to go to the door and hire myself, carry you into the palanquin, pay respects to you, lift your head, drink the cup of marriage… the auspicious things, we can’t leave anything behind… I want to be with you for the rest of my life, the next life, the next life. “
Gu Jiusi intertwined his fingers with hers, he put his head against her forehead, his voice paused, this large series of words came out, he seemed to be a little tired, stop, rest for a moment, he continued: “Yu Ru.”
“I love you,” he spoke seriously, “I will love you, spoil you, and always treat you well. Don’t you leave me.”
“I won’t leave you.” Liu Yuru’s heart softened into a piece. She whispered, “Don’t worry.”
“I will be good to you,” he repeatedly recited, “so that you know what it means to be really good to you.”
Liu Yuru laughed as she listened, and as the carriage slowly moved on, she listened to Gu Jiusi’s grand plan for how to treat her well.
She dragged him into the house, served him to the bed, rubbed his body, and rested herself.
The company is still chanting at this time, and when Liu Yuru went to bed, Gu Jiusi pulled her, he seemed to be sleepy, but still insisted on saying: “I know…you are not the one who stays in the back house. You have a big heart…you’ll go to so many places and make so much money, you don’t like being Mrs. Gu…”
Liu Yuru froze, she was about to deny it when she heard Gu Jiushi say, “I don’t care…”
“I can be Liu Xiangjun, you can do whatever you want to do. You want to go earn money, I’ll help you earn it…you want to go out, I’ll have someone escort you out…Yuru,” he held her hand, seemingly a little sad, “I’m not Gu Jiusi anymore,” he said in a hoarse voice. “But you have to be Liu Yuru, ah.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
She heard the crying tone in his voice, how did she not understand what he meant.
Gu Jiusi dreamed of being a benevolent and righteous chivalrous man, driving a horse and treading on flowers, proudly in Yangzhou for eighteen years. Now both the national tragedy and the family feud have forced him to grow up quickly. He never said bitter, and never shouted reluctance. The family needs him to take charge, he will stand up and take charge. But at the bottom of his heart, he always remembered the youthful frivolity of his youth.
He could not do it, he wanted her to do it.
He said he loved her and wanted to give her a world, so she could do all she wanted to do, without having to put up with it.
This is not because, this is because he wants it most?
Liu Yuru felt some sourness in her heart, she looked at the face in front of her between a teenager and a youth, and couldn’t help but hug him tighter.
“Jiu Si,” she spoke, her voice raspy, “you are my Gu Jiu Si for life.”
Gu Jiusi pulled her, seemingly sleepy, his breath interspersed with the smell of alcohol, Liu Yuru heard the sound of rain outside, she looked at the person in front of her, explored her body, and gently pressed her lips to it.
Gu Jiusi opened his eyes in a daze and saw the girl in front of him pressed against his body, her eyelashes trembling lightly, he could not tell if this was a dream or reality, he called out lowly: “Yuru…”
When the words opened, his tongue gently touched on each other’s lips, both sides shuddered, Liu Yuru froze her body.
Neither of them moved, and Gu Jiusi seemed to be stunned. A moment later, Liu Yuru subconsciously wanted to retreat, but just as soon as she moved, she was grabbed by Gu Jiusi around the waist.
That momentary touch made him shocked mixed with a few indescribable fascination. It was only then that he knew there was such an experience.
He wrapped his arms around her, slowly tightening his grip and increasing his strength. He lowered his head to brush against her, murmuring her name one by one: “Yuru.”
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and they’ve got a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
The taste of wine ran down his tongue into Liu Yu Ru’s mouth, the taste of wine, the sweetness that seemed to be there, the wetness and softness of the touch, all stinging the two teenagers’ heads.
Gu Jiushi couldn’t help but turn over and press on top of Liu Yuru.
The night rain fell on the begonias that were blooming just right outside the window, and the begonias were swaying gently in the rain. The slender branches and leaves seem to be unbearable to be broken, exhibiting a thousand styles in the wind and rain.
Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru’s eyes that seemed to be vaporized and looked at him with anger, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
“You have to look at such a glance,” his voice raspy, “the infernal hell also go to.”
“I don’t want you to go to the infernal hell,” Liu Yuru wrapped her arms around his neck, blushing, whispering, “I want you to keep me company.”
Gu Jiusi was in a trance, he looked at the person beneath him and choked for a moment before saying, “Okay.”
At that moment, even though he was still drunk and confused, he knew clearly.
In this life, if he leaves Liu Yuru, he can’t want anyone else.
After experiencing such a girl, where can you find another such a good person? Even if you have such a good person, where can you have such a heart?
He lowered his head and took her lips.
He moved gently and carefully, because many words, he could not say, he did not know how to express. He only felt that in every touch, every kiss, every embrace, his own unspeakable feelings, seemingly without words to pass.
The two of them tossed and turned until late at night, when the rain stopped, and only then did the two of them fall asleep in a daze.
When Gu Jius was awake the next morning, he saw that the entire bed was in disarray, and Liu Yuru was sleeping beside him, her clothes still in disarray.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
Liu Yuru opened her eyes in a daze and supported herself to get up, her clothes slid down to reveal her thin, white shoulders.
Gu Jiushi’s gaze involuntarily fell up, Liu Yuru yawned and said, “How did Langjun fall down?”
“I…I…”
Gu Jiusi braced himself not to run, outside Mu Nan and Yin Hong heard the sound, know that they got up, they are ready to come in, Gu Jiusi shouted: “Do not come in!”
These words made everyone freeze, and Liu Yuru also sobered up a bit.
Gu Jiu Si stared at Liu Yu Ru, he looked at a few more times, which confirmed that Liu Yu Ru clothes are messy, but still present.
Gu Jiusi’s mind came up with some fragments, he blushed, confirming a few times before his heart breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and said with difficulty: “I…I…”
“Langjun was drunk last night.” Liu Yuru knew what Gu Jiusi was going to say, she lowered her head, blushed, and spoke in a small voice.
Gu Jiusi hurriedly nodded: “Yes, yes, I was drunk.”
After saying this, the two went silent and no one spoke.
Gu Jiusi saw Liu Yuru sitting on the bed with her hand propped up, seemingly a little embarrassed, she was red-faced and kept looking out the window, after a good half day, Gu Jiusi slowly calmed down, he suddenly felt that there was actually nothing wrong with this.
The wine strengthens people’s courage, he is just, just a step forward.
He coughed lightly, stood up from the ground, looked at Liu Yuru and said, “You… you’re not angry, right?”
Liu Yuru lowered her head and shook her head. Gu Jiushi tried to remember what he said last night, he sat down next to Liu Yuru and said with his head bowed, “It’s good that you’re not angry…we’re husband and wife, many things are sooner or later.”
Liu Yuru answered in a low voice, blushing.
Gu Jiushi gritted his teeth and turned back and swept Liu Yuru into his arms.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The things that I did were also what I wanted to do.”
“Mm.”
Liu Yuru blushed and said in a small voice, “I know.”
“Yuru,” he hugged her and said seriously, “Although we are married, I don’t want us to be together just because we are married. Let’s take our time, if I rush you and you don’t feel comfortable, just tell me, I will change, okay?”
“Where is the surprise?” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Gu Jiusi listened to these words and laughed lowly: “I did it, you are not happy in your heart, and remember me. You have always been a little liar, you think I don’t know again?”
“I didn’t…”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. You just don’t know what you want, all right?”
“I…”
“Yuru,” Gu Jiusi hugged her and said seriously, “Don’t explain, and don’t say much. There are many things that cannot be said, you and I understand in our hearts.”
Liu Yuru silent, Gu Jiusi calmly said: “I know your past life, you can fool yourself for a while, but can not fool yourself for a lifetime. I am not in a hurry, the two of us just live our lives, you are always Mrs. Gu, but every step we take forward is a better point in our relationship, okay?”
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Gu Jiusi stroked her hair, and only then smiled and called people in.
Everyone looked at the young couple, pursed their lips and smiled, did not say anything, just let the two wash up.
Liu Yuru saw Gu Jiusi put on her official robe in the mirror, she lowered her eyes, Gu Jiusi was about to walk out, she suddenly said, “Jiusi.”
Gu Jiusi paused in her steps, and then she heard Liu Yuru speak: “I’ll go buy food for you.”
Gu Jiusi froze, she stood up, looked at Gu Jiusi, eyes serious: “You do not need to re-pool the Youzhou debt, you will now have the money in my hands, I will take this capital to go out, when you come back, will bring you back 300,000 stones of grain.”
Gu Jiusi looked at her blankly, but Liu Yuru smiled.
“Didn’t you say you wanted me to be Liu Yuru?” She looked calm, “if not for the rules, thinking of you, in fact, Liu Yuru bones, is such a person.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“I’m not doing it for you.”
Liu Yuru sat down and discussed with Gu Jiusi, “Business is business, if you were not my husband, I would have come to you to discuss this business. Lord Gu,” Liu Yuru looked at him and said seriously, “you are now holding so much money, you must find someone to take care of it. You are indeed good at officialdom, but in business, you may not have the ability. The number of people you can use, most of them do not have this talent, have this talent, you can not be assured. Why not let me go, you pay me part of the commission, we make money together?”
Gu Jiusi listened, he looked at the serious look of Liu Yuru in front of him, after a moment, he gently smiled away: “How much do you want?”
“You give me the principal, ten percent of the profit, all belong to me.”
“And what if you lose?”
“If you lose,” Liu Yuru replied seriously, “how much you lose, I’ll make up for it. If I can’t make it up in a moment, I’ll make it up for the rest of my life.”
Gu Jiusi was silent, and after a long time, he laughed bitterly and said, “Liu Yuru, you don’t do business like this. No one dares to say that he or she can definitely earn, you set up a military order like this, a little silly.”
“I’m not looking at anyone stupid,” Liu Yuru smiled, “but because you are my husband, the money has gone wrong, you have to take the responsibility, I have to arrange a way for you.”
Gu Jiusi listened to this, could not help but curved the corners of his mouth, but he coughed lightly, but said: “Since I am your husband, then this matter I have to manage you from a private point of view. You want to go out, I do not stop, but you have to give me understand, how you want to go out, what plan, how a trip route, I have to make sure that you go out okay, I can let you go over.”
“Yuru,” he said softly as he raised his hand to touch her hair, “don’t think I’m in charge of you, it’s just that I really can’t budge on this.”
“How can I feel that you are in charge of me.” Liu Yuru smiled, “so much money into my hands, if not a self-life can not be preserved, how and you can be assured?”
“You go to the magistrate’s office first,” Liu Yuru raised her hand to him to straighten out his clothes: “I will write my intentions clearly to you. You do not have to think that I am your wife, if you think this method is feasible, then give me the money, I will operate. If you think it won’t work, then that’s it.”
Gu Jiusi answered, smiled and said, “Then I’ll leave first.”
After the two finished, Gu Jiusi left the door by himself.
He walked on the road, Mu Nan followed behind, seeing that there was no shadow of Liu Yu Ru, Mu Nan said with some uneasiness, “Gongzi, do you really intend to let young madam go out alone?”
“Or what?”
Gu Jiusi was a bit helpless: “I can’t stop it?”
“Young lady is a woman…” Mu Nan deliberated, “It’s still not appropriate for her to go out alone, right?”
“If she can arrange it well, I won’t stop her. If the arrangement is not good, I will naturally also discourage. But she is a person after all,” Gu Jiusi looked at Mu Nan, but said, “you say if you and I choose a path, others say it is not good, forcing you not to do, how do you and I think?”
“Everything is forced on me,” Gu Jiusi said seriously, “even my parents, I can not allow. I’d rather not have this for my own good than to be constrained in every way.”
“Then what if the young lady is not well arranged and insists on traveling?”
Mu Nan then inquired, and Gu Jiushi smiled bitterly.
“What can I do?” He sighed out, “I can only think of a way to follow her.”
The good thing is that Liu Yuru is too much better than what they all expected.
After thinking about it for a few nights, Liu Yuru finally wrote the entire itinerary clearly and gave it to Gu Jiusi.
She inquired in detail about the situation in each state today, listed all the target cities for the trip, and finally prepared an escort team according to the situation in each city.
She even listed all the expenses budget, and wrote clearly how she intended to buy food for the whole trip, and even analyzed the expected revenue. Gu Jiusi looked at it and couldn’t help but feel a little emotional, in fact, before that, he didn’t even think that Liu Yuru could do such a good job.
Her whole route, almost all the dangerous areas are avoided away, leaving the current relatively smooth city. The route is relatively free of danger. And the staffing arrangement of her escort was enough for her to solve almost every crisis she could imagine.
And her method of buying grain was so unique that Gu Jiuzhu didn’t even think of it.
In the process of repeatedly buying and selling Youzhou bonds, Liu Yuru has learned a lot about the market. She began to understand some of the basic principles of the market, if someone buys a large number of Youzhou bonds, the goods are small and at the same time increase the price, everyone will desperately want to buy Youzhou bonds, the price of Youzhou bonds will rise; if someone sells a large number of Youzhou bonds, the market at the same time a lot of Youzhou bonds, the price will naturally decrease.
People’s “feeling” of a commodity, is the key to the price of this rise and fall.
So Liu Yuru’s plan, she will first go to a small city, this small city to meet three requirements: the first is not too big, not too small, just as they are.
The first is not too big, not too small, just within their amount of manipulation.
Secondly, the price of food is at a medium or even low level, in any case never high.
The third government control is low, will not interfere excessively with the market.
And then Liu Yu Ru will first buy all the food overnight without asking the price, and said it will continue to buy, so that everyone will start to buy food, in order to sell to Liu Yu Ru sell a high price, and everyone from all over the beginning to buy food grain, Liu Yu Ru then the original grain slowly flow into the market, the low buy high sell price to earn a price difference. This time the price of food will gradually fall, and when it falls back to the normal position or even low, she then bought away the market 60% to 70%.
Gu Jiusi can see, Liu Yuru this tactic, and now the city’s rich merchants speculate on the Youzhou debt the same tactic, are first speculative prices high, then secretly sold at high levels, and then wait for the price to fall, and then out to continue to buy.
“In that case, why don’t you bring some grain from Wangdu,” Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru’s method and mulled it over, “you directly smash down 50,000 stones after the grain falls back at the normal price, the grain price is bound to plummet, and then you buy it all back, isn’t that better?”
“No.” Liu Yuru shook her head and said decisively, “This will make too much noise and will definitely alert the government. The reason why I only buy 60% to 70% of the grain even after the price adjustment is that I don’t want this grain to affect people’s livelihood in a short time, so that the government will think that this is a natural phenomenon during war and won’t have too much concern.”
Gu Jiusi nodded his head, in a few words, he understood, this matter, Liu Yuru than he thought much more thoughtful.
Business, he is not better than Liu Yuru, so he looked at Liu Yuru in the logistical escort arrangements, after a moment of hesitation, he finally said: “Shen Ming you bring over, I will borrow a few people with Brother Zhou, to ensure that everything is safe.”
Liu Yuru answered, in this matter of life, naturally the more thoughtful the better.
“When you get to Yangzhou,” Gu Jiusi said deliberately, “you do not venture out on your own, let someone take over for you.”
“I understand.”
Liu Yuru nodded her head.
That night, Liu Yuru and Gu Jiusi slept in the bed, Gu Jiusi did not sleep all night, Liu Yuru noticed him tossing and turning, turned around and wrapped his arms around him from behind and said, “Why are you still awake?”
“I was thinking,” Gu Jiusi opened his eyes for a long time, and finally said, “I’ll go with you.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru could not help but laugh: “You go with me, the official will not do?”
“I’ll think of a way.” Gu Jiusi pondered, “I’ll go to Lord Fan…”
“Jiu Si,” Liu Yu Ru’s voice softly sounded, “I have to go to many places later.”
“Business, in fact, the most important thing is the inequality of information in each place and each place. Persian spices are just ordinary objects in Persia, but they are worth a thousand dollars in the East. If I keep the business going, I will be more and more ambitious in the future, and I can’t stay at home all the time. You accompanied me this time, what about the next time? What about the next time? You still have things to do,” Liu Yuru’s hand over the back of his hand, advised, “You are just starting out in the officialdom, Fan Xuan appreciation, do not lose all your efforts for these things at home. If you want to follow me to go, I will not go.”
Hearing Liu Yuru say that she would not go, Gu Jiusi silent, a moment later, he sighed out, can only be said: “That’s all, so be it.”
The next day Gu Jiusi sent Liu Yuru out of the city, saying that he would send her to the city gate, but he also said that he would send her one more mile. Only is a mile and then a mile, and so sent out ten miles away, Liu Yuru finally could not stand it, lifted the carriage curtain, with Gu Jiusi said: “Okay, go back, do not follow.”
Gu Jiusi froze and bowed her head, “Oh.”
Liu Yuru saw Gu Jiusi’s lost and despondent appearance and was a bit intolerant. She did not even know that this person used to be so lively and unstoppable, but now he has become a person who can’t do without himself.
She sighed, looked around a bit, and waved with Gu Jiusi.
Gu Jiusi came over, Liu Yuru held Gu Jiusi’s face, in front of everyone, gently kissed his face, and then said: “If you miss me, then write to me.”
After saying that, she quickly returned to the carriage, lowered the curtain, and said in a pretend silence, “All right, let’s go.”
Gu Jiusi rode his horse and watched the caravan go far away. He watched for a long time before finally returning home.
That night at dinner, Su Wan and Jiang Rou saw that Liu Yuru did not come back, could not help but some strange, Su Wan cautiously said: “Where is Yuru?”
Gu Jiushi then said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, Yuru will not come back in the near future.”
“Did you have a fight?” Jiang Ruo movement paused, Gu Jiusi shook his head and said, “The court has some matters for Yuru to do, she went away first.”
Said, Gu Jiusi took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Rou, “Yu Ru asked me to give it to you, saying that during her absence these days, the store bothered you more.”
“What did the court burn to her to do?” Jiang Rou frowned, dissatisfied, “She is a girl, this time so chaotic, what can she go to do?”
“Aren’t you just a woman too?” Gu Jiusi subconsciously retorted, Jiang Rou froze, heard his son justified: “Others can do, she can not? It doesn’t make sense.”
“You child,” Jiang Rou couldn’t help but laugh, “have a daughter-in-law forget mother, who was crying and not married.”
“When I was a child, I didn’t know any better,” Gu Jiusi said with a frank face, “When I grew up, I knew what was good, no?”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
After saying that, he went back to his own house.
He sat down in the study, the room was cold and clear, he was dazed for a long time, Mu Nan came in with soup, looked at Gu Jiusi’s appearance, smiled and said: “What is your son thinking about, so lost in thought?”
When Gu Jiusi heard this, he returned to his senses and shook his head, “Nothing.”
Saying that, he rummaged through the box and started looking for paper. Mu Nan was a bit strange: “What is your son looking for?”
“Did we import a batch of paper with peach blossoms printed on it before?”
“Yes.” Mu Nan searched for it from the cabinet and gave it to him, seeing Gu Jiushi return to his position with the paper, he looked at it suspiciously and said, “Is your Excellency going to write a letter?”
“Hmm.”
Mu Nan heard the sound and said with some uncertainty, “To… madam?”
“Ang.”
Gu Jiusi wrote the letter seriously, Mu Nan was silent for a moment and slowly reminded, “Your Excellency, young madam left just today, right?”
Gu Jiusi’s pen tip paused, as if someone had peeked into his heart.
He couldn’t help but look up and glare at Mu Nan, angrily saying, “You’re the only one who talks too much!”
This letter was written on the day Liu Yuru left, but it arrived on the day Liu Yuru stayed in the first city.
The first city where Liu Yuru landed was Wu Cheng in Cangzhou.
When she first passed through Cangzhou, her memory was of long stretches of yellow sand and dry, cracked land. Wu Cheng is the capital of Cangzhou, which is very different from Liu Yu Ru’s memory.
Wu Cheng was built very large, with high walls, surrounded by endless plains and green grass outside. It is not too different from Wangdu.
Shen Ming was much more familiar with Cangzhou than she was, so a merchant team followed Shen Ming, who negotiated their way into Cangzhou.
This time Gu Jiusi prepared a fake document for Liu Yuru. He is now the magistrate of Wangdu, although a small official of the eighth grade, but also an official, to get a fake document, for him is a matter of handy.
Liu Yuru and Shen Ming entered the city with the fake document, and then found an inn to stay. As soon as Liu Yuru entered the city, she began to look around at the prices of goods, looking at everyone’s clothing and talk.
For Liu Yuru, these people walking through, in fact, are many walking silver, how much each of them is worth, in Liu Yuru’s mind clearly marked price.
Dress, mannerisms, talk, the vast majority will reveal the person’s habits, know each other’s habits, will naturally guess each other’s income level.
Everyone feels that Liu Yuru has a natural sensitivity to numbers.
Everyone knows that selling high and buying low will make money, but the most difficult step is to determine when to consider selling high and when to consider buying low.
And Liu Yuru face this kind of problem, always as if she has the ability to foresee the general, she can always speculate the most appropriate price. Everyone thought it was a coincidence, but Liu Yuru slowly realized that this might be related to her love of reading other people’s faces and paying attention to her surroundings since she was young.
She has a way of figuring out the price, which is basically to see the big picture in a small way, something that no one can learn, so she can only make a personal trip.
She inquired into the evening and entered the room, the messenger sent by Gu Jiusi, also almost arrived.
She thought something had happened, so the letter came especially quickly. So she opened the letter and saw that on the first page of the letter, there was one sentence written.
When are you coming back?
She looked at the date and found that it was written on the day she came out, that is to say, she had just left the house before, Gu Jiusi began to think about her return.
She cried and laughed, and opened the second page, and saw Gu Jiusi’s not-quite-good-looking, only regular writing on the page.
A thousand mountains, ten thousand mountains, high mountains and far away people have not returned, love maple leaves Dan.
Liu Yuru looked at the letter and couldn’t help but smile. When she read the first sentence, she thought, Gu Jiusi is really simple, do not hire a poetry teacher for him, so that when you want to express your feelings, you only say the vernacular: I miss you.
I miss you.
I am very happy.
I’m happy. Hahahahahahahahaha.
This will later move up the ladder, I am afraid to be looked down upon. The good thing is that the second page has changed the wind of speech, finally there are a few reading people’s acid tone.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
She stayed in Wu Cheng, the first day to find out the news, she visited almost all the grain stores and rouge stores, rouge stores mostly put the goods of the flowers, prices are high and low, the real and fake mixed with the sale.
Liu Yu Ru spent a day, almost to find out the bottom of Wu Cheng. The price of food is about the same price, not too big fluctuations, and rouge stores are mixed, there is a Xie’s incense store, in Wu City is quite famous, whether the price of decoration, are close to the flower, and inside the goods are all genuine, Liu Yu Ru asked, these are their boss personally brought back from Wangdu, so the price is much higher.
Liu Yuru almost has an idea in her mind.
This time is mainly to buy food, the secondary is to figure out the sales of flowers around the situation, to see if it is suitable to use the agency sales method to buy goods. If it is suitable, she will then select a suitable agent in the local selection, when back to Wangdue, a team of people over to talk about this matter. So she did not come out and Xie’s fragrance to talk in detail, almost understand the situation, and went back to the inn.
The next day, Liu Yuru instructed all the people in the caravan to pretend to be merchants and go to the major grain merchants in Wu Cheng to buy grain. The speed should be fast, and all put down the word to buy more.
The arranged people went down, and Liu Yuru sat in the teahouse drinking tea and inquiring about the surrounding information.
When the night came back, everyone had already bought a thousand stones of grain, and the grain merchants in the city had promised that they would transfer grain from all over.
Liu Yuru looked at the scene outside, did not say a word, Shen Ming looked at Liu Yuru, could not help but say: “What are you looking at?”
“Six months ago,” Liu Yuru smiled and turned back, slowly said, “I had come to Cangzhou.”
Shen Ming nodded: “I’ve heard of it.”
“There were stragglers everywhere at that time.”
Liu Yuru sighed, “Jiu Si and I were locked outside the city gates and saw with our own eyes people killing people for more money and even eating each other with their children. Nowadays there are also stragglers in Wu City, but look, also in Cangzhou, the rich merchants in Wu City, yet they can still transfer grain to sell to us.”
“So I say,” Shen Ming cold face, “these rich merchants and dog officials are in cahoots, should be killed.”
“Shen Ming,” Liu Yuru shook her head, “if you are for one person’s grudge, then naturally you can be quick to revenge. But if you are thinking about a group of people, or even a country, then you have to go higher. Do you think Jiu Si likes being an official?”
Liu Yuru smiled bitterly: “Not also for the sake of, want to let more people live a better life?”
Shen Ming did not say anything, these days, the more I understand this couple, the more he understands, my own past perception of many people is prejudice.
But he also did not speak, Liu Yuru sipped tea, said plainly: “Tomorrow to buy food.”
Liu Yuru has people going out every day, constantly raising prices to buy food. No matter how the price goes up, Liu Yuru will continue to charge.
In less than four days, there was a sudden boom in buying food in the city, and every family went everywhere to collect food and come over to exchange it for silver. And this time Liu Yuru will have people contact the local money changers, take part of the money out of the mortgage.
Liu Yuru do not want meat, do not want vegetables, as long as corn and noodles, so for a while, the price of these two things, but a lot more expensive than other food. For a while, everyone in Wu Cheng heard the wind and started the business of buying food.
Food is scarce, the price will naturally go up. Most people actually do not understand how the grain rose, but also found that even if they do not sell to Liu Yuru, there are people in the city to collect grain at a high price, so they also feel confident and bold to start collecting grain.
Liu Yuru took advantage of everyone’s energy to buy food around, and will buy the grain before, quietly small amount of repeatedly put on the market.
People gradually found more food, but many people still frantically bought and hoarded a lot.
Liu Yuru counted the time and said with everyone: “The grain is not collected for now. Let’s leave it like this.”
Liu Yuru stopped collecting grain, and many people bought a lot of grain at high levels in order to make money, and the grain had no place to go for a while, especially the business people, who naturally panicked when their own flow was cut off.
First of all, some people began to sell their food at a lower price, so the price of food began to fall rapidly, the whole city began to collect food people afraid, Liu Yuru looked at the price all the way down, even fell below the initial price they came to Wu City, at this time the subordinate Yun Yun came to ask Liu Yuru said: “Madam, is it time to make a move.”
Liu Yuru looked at the look of the people outside, she sipped her tea, today first buy a thousand stones.
The amount that Liu Yuru let in was always smaller than the amount that she let out daily.
No one knows how Liu Yu Ru calculates these prices, Liu Yu Ru every day wandering in the teahouse restaurant, looks completely do not care about these things look.
The group watched the food prices fall again and again, the heart are a little panic, Yun Yun can not help but say: “Madam, the food prices continue to fall, the government is afraid to get involved.”
Liu Yuru looked at people, nodded, but said: “Wait another day.”
At night, Liu Yuru went back to look at the account book, looking at the money they lent out before, calculating the interest, should have reached the limit of a merchant balance.
As expected, on the second day, there are people selling food on the market, and there are also people proposing to the money bank, using food and other items to offset the debt.
Liu Yuru asked Shen Ming to greet the money changers, she put out the money, can be used to offset the debt with grain.
She gave a price, the price, just a little higher than the market.
And then Liu Yuru and let people go out to collect food, this time the people in the tightening of the loan of grain has long begun to sell, Liu Yuru do not buy empty, each family to buy fifty percent, so down, but one day, Liu Yuru to buy enough Wu Cheng’s target.
She didn’t delay, she had people load the grain, and then immediately left the city, and didn’t hesitate to have people send the grain directly back to Wangdu.
Wu Cheng purchased 50,000 stones, Liu Yu Ru calculated the distance, if the land route food loss is huge, Wu Cheng is not too far from the sea distance, she simply let people from the land route around the sea, and then sent back to Gu Jiusi.
When sending back, Yin Hong reminded Liu Yuru: “Madam, before the aunt wrote a letter to you, you also bring a message ah.”
Liu Yuru had been counting food all night and her head was a bit confused. After hearing this, she reacted and said, “Give a message to your Excellency, tell him not to miss me too much, I’ll be away for a long time this time, so he’ll get used to it. Also, let him remember that I have inquired about the news that the king of Liang is heavily fortified, and the battle will not be finished for a while, so let him make preparations for next year.”
Hearing this, Shen Ming stifled a laugh. Yin Hong was also a bit helpless, busy persuading, “Madam, say a few more words.”
Liu Yuru thought for a moment, then remembered, “Oh, also, let the lord find a master and practice more words. He that word now rules are rules, still hard to read, do not become an official, then slacken the reading.”
Yin Hong: “…”
Shen Ming laughed at the side.
Yun Yun face full of helplessness.
Liu Yuru also did not care what the other people thought, waved her hand, then let people go, and then she went into the carriage, fell on the carriage, said: “Time is urgent, hurry up and catch up.”
After saying that, he fell asleep directly.
The grain with Liu Yuru’s words, through the mountains and across the sea, finally arrived at Wangdu after half a month.
When Gu Jiusi learned that the grain had arrived, he knew that Liu Yuru’s letter had arrived, and went out to meet them personally early in the morning. Huang Long and Hu Zi followed, saying, “Your Excellency, take your time, the grain will not escape.”
Gu Jiushi ignored, he ran all the way to the county gate, saw the flag of Liu Yuru’s caravan, rushed to the person in front of the leader, anxiously said: “Uncle Zhang, where is the letter?”
Uncle Zhang, who was leading the team, was the original servant of the Gu family, and when Liu Yuru made money, she brought back all the people the Gu family had previously brought from Yangzhou to Wangdu. Uncle Zhang looked at Gu Jiusi anxious look, can’t help but smile: “Gongzi don’t be anxious, the situation was too hasty, the young lady bought food and took us to hurry out of Wu City, then counted the night to let us leave, didn’t have time to write.”
“The letter did not write, there is always a message, right?”
Gu Jiusi frowned, seemed a little unhappy. Uncle Zhang hurriedly said: “There is a message. Madam has ordered three things.”
“What?” Gu Jiusi became happy, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, “Does madam miss me?”
“No, madam said, she went out for a long time this time, you should not miss her too much, just get used to it.”
Gu Jiushi’s smile froze when she heard this. Behind the tiger and Huang Long rushed up, just look at Uncle Zhang without eyes, then said: “Madam also said, she asked around outside the news, the king of Liang is heavily fortified, the war will not be finished for a while, you have to prepare early for next year.”
“What else?” Gu Jiusi lost his smile and frowned, but he still held on to a ray of hope.
Three commands, and one more, it was always about him, right?
“Madam also added a sentence at the end,” Uncle Zhang smiled, “asking you to find a master to teach you to practice your calligraphy, saying that now your calligraphy is disciplined but still hard to read, so that you don’t become an official and slacken off on your reading.”
Gu Jiusi’s face completely darkened.
He slackened his face and did not speak in silence. Uncle Zhang sighed: “Sir, madam really cares about you, so out of town, still remembering your study, really rare virtuous wife.”
Gu Jiusi was silent, he folded his hands between his sleeves, glanced at the caravan behind Uncle Zhang, said: “Uncle Zhang has worked hard, the family has prepared a banquet for your old man to receive the dust, I still have business in the government office, I have to go first.”
After saying that, Gu Jiusi turned around and left, looking as if he was a bit annoyed.
Uncle Zhang froze, panicked, and said with the nearby Mu Nan: “Mu Nan, the son is…”
“Nothing, nothing.”
Mu Nan waved his hand: “Do not worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, the son is angry with himself.”
Said, Mu Nan chased after Gu Jiusi up, smiling and said with Gu Jiusi: “Sir, you do not go so fast, the caravan will soon return, you can at least leave a message to the lady.”
“What do I leave for her?” Gu Jiusi said in a cold voice with a stern face, “She doesn’t want me, why should I miss her? It’s just a matter of business.”
“Anyway, she’s out of the door and doesn’t miss me at all.” Gu Jiusi’s tone carried a bit of aggravation, “Does she still have me as her husband in her heart?
Liu Yuru was talking business with someone in the state capital of Qingzhou at this time, she was drinking tea and chatting, when a sneeze went out.
The businessman across the street froze and then said, “Boss Liu, are you not feeling well.”
Liu Yuru was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, “I don’t know what happened, but suddenly I felt an itch in my nose.”
“Sneezing so suddenly, I’m afraid that someone misses you.” The merchant across the street smiled and said, “Boss Liu has come out to do business, the family has probably been thinking about it, right?”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru couldn’t help but smile.
She suddenly remembered Gu Jiushi’s simple, unpretentious “when will you come back”, her heart was soft and gentle, and her voice couldn’t help but lighten a bit.
“Yes.” She said softly, “The one at home, I’m afraid, has been thinking about me.”
———————————————————————————-
The author has something to say: [small theater]
Gu Jiusi: wife wrote a letter back, frantically running to meet!
Huang Long: adults slow down!
Gu Jiusi (eyes): Uncle Zhang, Yu Ru miss me?
Uncle Zhang: do not want, she is very happy.
Gu Jiusi smile gradually disappears, followed by perversion.
Gu Jiusi said, but finally when the caravan returned, but honestly handed over a letter.
The letter was very thick, heavy in the hand, handed in the hands of the caravan, everyone laughed, Gu Jiusi face, in the face of all the meaningful smile, he is used to it.
When Liu Yuru received the letter, she had just left the capital of Qingzhou and was on her way to the next city. Qingzhou is much richer than Cangzhou, 300,000 quintals of grain, and she had almost made up 150,000.
It was only then that Cangzhou reacted with hindsight to the decrease in grain and the sudden rise in grain prices. But everyone did not find the relevance of these things, some smart people realize after the fact that things seem to be deliberately laid out, but for most people at the time, just think, war, food prices rose again, and that’s all.
And Qingzhou is not even aware of all this, Liu Yuru seems to have just happened to pass by, happened to encounter the ups and downs of food prices, and then happened to leave.
She is just the owner of a store that wants to open a rouge store, no one can imagine, this Qing Cang two states such a large amount of food price fluctuations, and this speaks with a gentle smile and even with a little shy little girl, have what relationship.
Everyone is concerned about the occupation of Youzhou and Liang Wang. After Fan Xuan led the attack on the king of Liang, Bingzhou and Liangzhou also a small amount of troops out to harass there is movement. However, the king of Liang had a countermeasure, a moment did not attack down, so the two sides stalemate, the king of Liang to the emperor’s order to Fan Xuan’s “order to suppress thieves”, and Fan Xuan is a spontaneous write a “felling Liang thieves article.
This diatribe is not brilliant, but the counterpoint is neat, the atmosphere is majestic, the words are sharp and even a little mean, it is said that when the king of Liang saw, in the hall vomited blood. It is not known whether it is angry or anxious.
People are concerned about these things, giving Liu Yuru full play space. So Liu Yuru was busy all night and all day.
The day Liu Yuru received the letter, she rushed a day, she was a little tired, her brain was buzzing, nothing was on her mind, she sat on the bed and read the letter Gu Jiusi gave her.
This time the letter was not as frivolous as the last one, and was much more composed.
He first told her that he wrote that diatribe this time, the one on “Discouraging the Liang Thieves”, saying that he had studied well and told her not to worry.
Then he wrote about his family, how Su Wan was, how Jiang Rou was, her store, and even Zhou Ye and Qin Wanzhi.
He wrote about his own reforms in Wangdu, about how he had rectified the city’s landlord and resettled the stragglers. He said he had opened up so much wasteland and let those stragglers farm there. Each one of them received land and paid 70% of the grain produced in the first year, and then it was reduced year by year until the tenth year, and then it belonged to them. And the money for the exiles to buy rice and grain and live in the first year comes out of the money of the Youzhou debt, and when they start paying the grain in the next year, it is the income of the Youzhou debt. He said he had done the math, so that the interest on the Youzhou debt would be completely offset.
He said a lot, mostly about his political affairs. He also said some details, he said he himself followed the names of the farmers down to the land together with the land, wielding a hoe when everyone laughed.
He said there were worms in the mud of the original rice planting, lying on his feet and sucking blood, which scared him a lot.
Liu Yuru watched quietly as she curled up on the bed and watched the man’s words, and in her mind she could actually picture him doing these things.
She thought he was probably darker, should also grow taller again, speak and do things, should be much more calm.
She can even imagine him following the people to the fields to plant the look, think about it, feel this man, more and more nestled in the heart.
She looked at his letter, slowly got sleepy, and waited until the end, she saw his last sentence.
“I have already settled the interest on the Youzhou debt, and half of the 300,000 stones, and I can buy the rest from Northern Liang. You don’t worry, come back earlier.”
Liu Yuru froze, and in that instant, an extremely absurd idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
He was so desperate to resettle the exiles, make money with the Youzhou debt, fill the interest on the Youzhou debt, and even personally deal with Northern Liang, was it all…
Wanted her not to worry too much.
He thought of her traveling far and wide to collect food for him, to solve his immediate needs, so he thought of all the ways himself so she wouldn’t have to worry about it.
She didn’t know if this thought was self-serving or just the truth, yet looking at the words on the paper, she still felt a warmth come up.
She couldn’t help but press the page to her chest and let out a deep breath.
This is the first time in her life that she has met someone who has been so kind to her.
The only person who treated her this well in the past was Su Wan. But Su Wan as a mother, although the heart, but indeed too weak nature, simply can not help her too much. Most of the time, she was the one who helped Su Wan and stood up for her.
She was used to being someone else’s support, used to standing on a big tree. This person, however, is the first one, trying to shelter her from the wind and rain.
She was moved beyond words, in the darkness of the night, she suddenly missed Gu Jiusi in particular.
However, the sky and the sea did not see, she had no choice but to stand up and sit at the table, she hesitated for a long time, wanting to write something to him, but afraid that the other party peeped into her heart and felt too unreserved, too frivolous.
So she squeezed her pen and pondered and pondered before she began to write to him.
She described her side of things, and when she finished writing, she found that there were no details, and she didn’t know what to write.
The next morning, she handed the letter to the caravan that was going back with the grain. Uncle Zhang took the letter and froze, and found that Liu Yuru gave him the letter, which was also a heavy pile.
Liu Yuru saw Uncle Zhang’s surprise and she blushed a little.
She pretended to calmly turn her head, leaving her hair behind her ears, and coughed lightly, “Uncle Zhang, be careful on the road.”
Uncle Zhang came back to his senses and said with a smile, “Young lady, don’t worry, the letter will be brought.”
Liu Yuru instructed a few more words before returning to Wangdu.
The letter went back and forth, and the two of them took advantage of the caravan to travel back and forth, slowly surviving the autumn and the late winter.
Liu Yuru finally arrived in Yangzhou in January, when 300,000 stones of grain had almost reached 270,000, and she had even earned an additional 500,000 taels.
Eight million capital out, but four months, earned 270,000 stones of grain and 500,000 taels of silver, such ability, let the entire merchant fleet are breathtaking.
Liu Yuru arrived at Yangzhou, Yin Hong looked at the city tower of Yangzhou, can’t help but some uneasiness, she cautiously said: “Young lady, now the money and grain are almost done, why don’t we close up and go back?”
Liu Yuru quietly looked at the city of Yangzhou, she looked at the place where she lived for seventeen years, she quietly looked for a long time, but said: “to come here, do not bring something to go, is not a trip to waste?”
“Besides,” Liu Yuru smiled and said calmly, “there is still a shortage of food.”
Saying that, Liu Yuru instructed Shen Ming, “Shen Ming, let’s go.”
Liu Yuru entered the city, she did not act rashly this time, her fake identity on the document was called Liu Xue, she pretended to have scars on her face, with a curtain cap, and looked around.
The merchants in Yangzhou City have obviously changed batches, except for some unprofitable small businesses, most of the profitable businesses have changed owners. She asked Shen Ming to inquire, only to learn that after the Gu family fled, the Liu family was implicated, Liu Xuan will all the family assets to Wang Shanquan, which picked up a life, with the family out of Yangzhou, and do not know where to go.
She hesitated for a moment and asked Shen Ming to buy a pot of wine for the old accountant across the street and send it over, and then led Shen Ming away.
Shen Ming watched Liu Yuru wander around the city, with Liu Yuru said, “What are you looking for here?”
“Wang Shanquan is different from ordinary officials,” Liu Yuru said flatly, “this person has no bottom line, poisonous tactics, we need to make early preparations to act in Yangzhou, the first thing to plan out the way to escape.”
She raised her chin towards Shen Ming and said, “Go inside, put a hundred taels of silver on the table and say you want to gamble with the boss. They will let you into the backyard, when you say your master wants to see him, let him look for me in the restaurant next door.”
Shen Ming froze: “You came here to gamble?”
Liu Yuru was a little helpless, she slapped Shen Ming with her fan and said discontentedly, “Go.”
Shen Ming skimmed his mouth and went inside.
Liu Yuru went to the opposite restaurant and reserved a room, sitting on the windowsill and quietly watching the outside of the casino.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
She looked towards the carriage and saw a hand on the attendant’s hand coming out of the carriage, followed by a very good-looking man peeking out of the carriage.
He was wearing a blue robe, and his features were exquisitely handsome, with a smile on his face and a paper fan in his hand. From the overall point of view, it seems to be an ordinary scholar, but between his eyebrows there is an indescribable evil aura, how to look, can not let people simply associate him with a “scholar”.
The people next to him were attentive to wait for him to enter, and the other party walked in with a lazy look. When he reached the door, he paused in his steps and looked over in the direction of Liu Yuru.
Liu Yuru was surprised to find that this person was keen, but she did not hide, she looked over the fence, as if she was a young lady on a trip, casually surveying the surroundings.
The other person quietly watched her, and after a few moments, he turned away with a stern face, as if he was not very happy, and went into the casino.
After the man entered the casino, Liu Yuru asked Yin Hong to call in the second, and inquired with the second, “Do you know there is a Luo Gongzi in the city?”
The second man smiled when he heard this: “Luo Gongzi, formerly known as Luo Zishang, is a member of the staff of Lord Wang, the Festival Minister, and now half of Yangzhou City is under his control, who does not know this?”
Liu Yuru was a little surprised, but she also immediately understood that such a young man, can quietly become the first red man under Wang Shanquan, take over half of Yangzhou, this is not an idle generation, she grabbed the second, immediately this Luo Zishang news inquired once again.
But this Luo Zishang came suddenly, everyone only knows that he appeared after the fall of the Gu family, it is him instead of the Wang family organized the entire Yangzhou City merchants cleaning, he said in Yangzhou, Wang Shanquan almost obeyed him. However, this Luo Zishang from where to come, what to do in the past, where people, everyone knows nothing.
Liu Yuru’s heart sank a little, she intuitively felt that this Luo Zishang, perhaps with the Gu family’s relationship, a thousand strands.
She grabbed the second and asked for a while, basically figured out the situation in Yangzhou. At this time, Shen Ming then led Yang Long Si walked in.
Yang Long Si looked at Liu Yu Ru, the woman in front of a water blue shirt, with a curtain cap, can not see the face and body, can only see a medium height, rather thin woman.
He nodded towards Liu Yuru: “Miss Liu.”
Liu Yuru raised her hand, deliberately lowered her voice, and said respectfully with Yang Long Si, “Mr. Yang, please.”
Yang Long Si sat opposite Liu Yu Ru and opened the door and said, “I don’t know what you want to invite me here, Miss?”
“I heard that Yangzhou has officials by day and gods by night, Yangzhou is under the control of the officials by day and the Dragon Master by night, I wonder if this is true?”
“Taoist friends praise,” Yang Long Si calmly said, “exaggerated.”
“Not exactly.” Liu Yuru said, “At least the dock at night, must be under the control of the Dragon Master, right?”
When Yang Long Si heard this, he understood where Liu Yu Ru was coming from. He said directly, “You’re looking for me to borrow a boat?”
“Master Long,” Liu Yuru said calmly, “I have heard that you have always been a man of rules in the road. I admire Master Long’s reputation for chivalry and righteousness, so I came here on purpose to borrow a boat from you. This boat is parked at the pier, a name, but by the concubine’s people management, when to leave, what to load, the dragon master doubts all do not ask.”
Yang Long Si heard these words, but smiled: “Miss Liu, your request, to the big, but I have to let Yang mou to lose his life, but I do not know Miss Liu, how much you intend to pay to do this thing?”
“I intend to do a business in Yangzhou, I can share 30% of the profits of this business master Long.”
“You said business, at least tell me what kind of business.”
“Master Long,” Liu Yuru smiled softly, “when gambling on the size, there is always a time to lose when betting on one side, if you bet on both sides together, there is no possibility of losing, don’t you think so?”
Hearing these words, Yang Long Si looked serious.
Liu Yuru raised her hand and took out a token from her sleeve, with the word “Yui” written on it.
Yang Long Si looked at the token and listened to Liu Yu Ru: “I am just a businessman, the content of the business, you will soon know, but is to buy some supplies, but I buy more, so I need a boat. This business is done, the money is small, but I can promise that there is a place for you in either Youzhou or Yangzhou.”
Yang Long Si looked at the token and did not speak.
After a long time, he slowly said, “I am staying well in Yangzhou, why should I think of ways to bet on the treasure in Youzhou?”
“Master Long, Youzhou has already used troops against Liang Wang, and will be fought down in a year at the latest. When Youzhou has fought down Liang Wang, it is just a matter of time to calm down the chaos. If Yangzhou is changed to a person in charge, then it will be another change of sky. When the sky is changed, Master Long thinks that he can still be stable?”
“Today I asked the Dragon Master to do the matter, naturally to the Dragon Master planning the back way. You find me a foreigner’s boat, I buy it, use their information, and you pretend not to know anything. Under the normal plan, I will not be in trouble. If something really happens, you will check a few people to deliver, count supervision is not effective.”
Liu Yuru to Yang Long Si plotted a way out. Yang Long Si frowned, after a long time, he doubted: “Even if the Youzhou leveled the chaos, Yangzhou is not necessarily changed to manage.”
“If Lord Fan enters the Eastern Capital,” Liu Yuru affirmed, “Wang Shanquan’s head will definitely fall to the ground.”
“Why?”
Yang Long Si was puzzled.
“Do you know who wrote the diatribe “The Thief of Liang”?”
Liu Yuru calmly reminded, Yang Long Si shook his head, Liu Yuru sipped tea, lightly said: “Gu Jiusi.”
Yang Long Si snapped open his eyes, but instantly understood.
If this article came from the hand of Gu Jiusi, then Gu Jiusi naturally in the Youzhou has been extremely well mixed, with the Gu family and the Wang family feud, and how to tolerate Wang Shanquan?
Yang Long Si silent down, Liu Yu Ru sipped tea, quietly waiting for Yang Long Si’s choice.
A few moments later, Yang Long Si spoke: “I’ll find you a ship, after that I will not care, the money you go casino gambling loss in, I do not need your profits 30%, give me 100,000 taels, not a penny less.”
“If it’s 100,000 taels, later you need to report the news from Yangzhou in time.”
Liu Yuru calmly spoke: “I will open a rouge store here, later you from the rouge store side of the people to contact me.”
“Good.”
Yang Long Si said smoothly: “If you want to find me in the future, Sande casino back door knock three times, knock three times in a row.”
Liu Yuru nodded, and after the two quickly talked, Yang Long Si stood up, and before leaving he suddenly said, “Be careful of Luo Zishang.”
“Hmm?”
Liu Yuru looked up, Yang Long Si lightly said: “This is a bit to achieve the goal of the ruthless person who will do anything to achieve the means, back then the Gu family matter, is his planning.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru’s eyes widened, she did not dare to make a sound, afraid that she would do something irrational.
She called Shen Ming in and said through clenched teeth, “Go check out a man named Luo Zishang for me, no matter what the means, find out clearly where he came from, what he did, and what his relationship with the Gu family is!”
She then said that back then Wang Rong molested her to force Gu Jiushi’s hand, trying to use this case to bring down Jiang Shang Shu of Dongdu. Such a scheme does not look like the handiwork of the Wang family.
At that time, she thought it was Wang Shanquan who was sophisticated, but now it seems that it is the handiwork of this Luo Zishang!
Shen Ming saw her look and was a bit puzzled: “What’s wrong with this Luo Zishang?”
“Don’t you love to kill dog officials?” Liu Yuru looked at him lightly, “This time let you know what it means to be a real dog official.”
Liu Yu Ru gave an order to Shen Ming, who then went to investigate.
And Liu Yuru also did not have much time to delay, she figured out the whole Yangzhou situation, then the same trick, began to collect grain at high prices, speculation on the price of grain. She asked her men to disguise themselves as several waves of people, asking around the city of Yangzhou food prices, and then spread rumors of soaring food prices, so within a few days, food prices quickly rose.
The first few days in Yangzhou, Yin Hong has been very worried, her heart was always hanging, and only when things were as smooth as they were in the past, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Yuru: “Fortunately, everything went well, the first few days I was worried sick. We had planned to buy 300,000 stones of grain, not much less, the aunt will find a solution, you must take this risk, I do not know what to ask for?”
“You didn’t think I was taking a risk in other places,” Liu Yuru looked up and smiled, “but now that you’re in Yangzhou, you think it’s a risk?”
“Can other places be the same as Yangzhou?”
Yin Hong said righteously, “Wang Shanquan is ruthless.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru laughed: “If the governors of other states knew what we were doing, they would not be more benign than Wang Shanquan.”
Liu Yuru raised her hand to stroke her eyebrows, and said: “What we do is always walking on the tip of a knife. I’ve been to Cangzhou and Qingzhou, there’s no reason why I should let go of this fat piece of meat in Yangzhou. Besides, you think I just collect food?”
Liu Yuru looked at herself in the mirror, her tone was calm: “The war looks like a comparison of force, in fact, fight to fight, fight is not all money? If I can scrape Yangzhou a layer of skin, later Yangzhou will also be much more stable, not to add chaos to the Youzhou.”
Yin Hong froze, she did not expect Liu Yu Ru still have such ideas, she cautiously said: “Madam, in fact, these are the affairs of those masters. You don’t have to care much.”
Hearing these words, Liu Yu Ru froze.
In fact, she had often heard such words from Yin Hong in the past, and would even talk about it occasionally, but now somehow, she hadn’t had such thoughts for a long time. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Wang Shanquan deceived the Gu family so far, I came to Yangzhou, if I do not take offense, I always feel that I can not pass this hurdle in my heart.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“So ah,” Liu Yu Ru turned her head to look at Yin Hong, “do not let her know, or I can find you trouble.”
The two played and laughed as they did when they were children. At this time, the sound of a briefing came from outside, but Shen Ming came back.
As soon as Shen Ming entered the door, he poured a mouthful of tea, and then said, “I have run all over Yangzhou, finally know where this Luo Zi Shang came from.”
Liu Yuru heard, hurried back to the head, busy: “Where did it come from?”
“In fact, no one knows, but I asked around, the sky is not a man, ah, I met an old man, living in the City God Temple, is a beggar, he and I said, this Luo Zishang, looks especially like the previous has been living in the City God Temple small beggar. That little beggar is an old beggar picked up at the entrance of the temple, named Lai Fu.”
Listen to this name, Yin Hong could not help but laugh, whispered: “This is not the name of the dog?”
“are born in poor families,” Shen Ming glared at Yin Hong, “you think everyone is familiar with poetry and books? It is not just to give the child a lucky name.”
“What happened?” Liu Yuru interrupted Shen Ming’s words, then said, “that little beggar what happened?”
“The old beggar raised the child to six years old and died. The child lived in the City God Temple until he was twelve years old, and suddenly disappeared. That old beggar and I said, now this Luo Zishang, and that child looks especially similar.”
“But it is similar in appearance, how are you sure that this is Luo Zishang?” Liu Yuru frowned, Shen Ming drank a mouthful of tea, then said, “Listen to me, ah, look alike is certainly not enough to conclude. But then a beggar in the city god temple recognized, want to climb relatives, run to identify, the results of that night, a group of killers, the city god temple in the year that group of beggars, all dead. He was not there, which escaped.”
Liu Yuru and Yin Hong showed shock to. Shen Ming raised an eyebrow: “Ruthless enough, right?”
“Then what did he kill these people for?”
Yin Hong couldn’t understand. Liu Yuru understood: “Because the reason why Wang Shanquan thinks so highly of Luo Zishang is because he heard that Luo Zishang is the descendant of the noble and famous Luo family and studied under the famous scholar Zhang Huaizi, with this name Luo Zishang visited Wang Shanquan at first and became his staff. Later, he has been advising Wang Shanquan, who became the governor four years ago, just one year after he joined the Wang family. If it is said that Wang Shanquan was able to become the sectional envoy all because of this person’s planning, then it is understandable that he is in the position he is in today.”
“Famous family and famous teacher, this is his capital, if people know that he was originally a beggar, even if it will not shake his foundation, it is still trouble. It’s just that all the people who were like family and friends back then…” Liu Yuru sighed, “to be able to lay such a ruthless hand, it’s really the most vicious heart.”
However, Liu Yuru could not understand: “So it seems that he and the Gu family have nothing to do with each other, why would he target the Gu family?”
“Perhaps,” Shen Ming pondered, “he is not actually targeting the Gu family, just the Gu family is the step he must take?”
Liu Yuru was silent, she carefully thought about the situation, Wang Shanquan to Gu family to establish the authority, it seems to be a necessary thing.
She exhaled a deep breath, then said, “Continue to investigate, this information is not enough, he must have some other information.”
Shen Ming answered, put down the tea, and then said, “Then I’ll go out and check again.”
When Shen Ming went out, Liu Yuru suddenly thought: “You say, if those beggars were all dead, then such life-threatening news, why would this beggar and Shen Ming said?”
Yin Hong froze, Liu Yu Ru reacted violently, the same Yin Hong said: “Let Shen Ming do not check, was found!”
Hearing this, Yin Hong was busy running out.
Liu Yu Ru pondered for a moment and immediately ordered the others: “Except for those who are still doing things in the city, all others retreat to the docks outside the city and prepare to leave at hand.”
Everyone answered yes, and Liu Yuru led people to start packing their luggage in a hurry.
She pondered while packing. How was Shen Ming exposed, what kind of people were investigating Shen Ming now, and was Luo Zishang so divine that she had only started and had already found out?
She was a little flustered in her heart, but managed to calm herself down quickly.
She thought about it, the most crucial thing now is to cut the line between herself and Shen Ming, don’t let people follow Shen Ming to check up on themselves.
So she told Shen Ming to find his own place to stay overnight and not to come to himself casually in the near future. And then the people are separated, each doing their own thing to go.
She retired to live in a hotel outside the city, and every day she went to the city to drink tea and listen to music, in order to find out news.
The price of food began to rise as expected, Liu Yuru looked at the price of food, began to gradually buy back small amounts of food. At the same time, she had her subordinates prepare many places for private transactions. Everyone can’t understand what it is to train a group of people responsible for private transactions, Liu Yuru smiled and didn’t say anything.
And at this time, Luo Zishang’s desk was filled with reports of grain prices in Yangzhou.
“Why are the grain prices rising so fast?”
Luo Zishang sipped his tea and asked the subordinate standing next to him. The subordinate said calmly: “I heard that there are many people who buy grain from all over the world, and when they buy more, it rises fast.”
“Suddenly there are so many people buying grain?”
“Yes.”
Luo Zishang frowned, threw the paperwork away, and said lightly: “Check where people are coming from, this doesn’t look normal.”
“Does that need to be managed?” The subordinate looked at Luo Zishang apprehensively, Luo Zishang thought for a moment, “Yangzhou is just now returning to normal, these merchants are Lord Wang’s relatives, it is not good to move. The first order to let grain sales, foreigners are not allowed to buy food, local people can not buy more than five buckets of grain per person per day.”
“Then the price needs to be suppressed?” The subordinate inquired, “Nowadays the price of grain is high, many people are buying and selling grain to make money.”
Luo Zishang hesitated for a moment, then said, “I’m afraid the merchants are not willing to press the price, so let’s leave it at this price, but no more increases are allowed.”
The subordinates answered yes.
The next day, the order came to the major merchants in Yangzhou City. Liu Yuru was still drinking tea in the teahouse, then received the news, she arranged to go to the people are anxious, came to her and said: “Madam, Yangzhou officials to this play, what do we do?”
“Haven’t we prepared for this?” Liu Yuru turned her head and looked at Uncle Zhang, put down the cup of tea, smiled and said: “We are not specifically engaged in a few private trading points? Let them collect the grain, we do not buy from the grain merchants, teach the people, buy grain from the grain merchants, and then sell it to us. We start trading with two stones on our side and collect the goods once every ten days, so they have to form teams to do this. Each person who forms a team is rewarded, so that the people will buy more grain and the price will naturally continue to rise. When I call a halt, we will clear out as much grain as we can in one day.”
“But most of the grain is with the grain merchants,” Uncle Zhang frowned, “we keep collecting grain from the retailer, how long do we have to collect?”
Liu Yuru laughed: “Grain merchants are stupid? The people buy grain from them and sell it to us to make money, the people can trade privately, they can’t?”
“Don’t worry,” Liu Yuru said lightly, “merchants have ways to benefit. As long as you ensure that the channels through which we collect money and grain are not discovered and caught.”
Uncle Zhang responded and did as Liu Yuru said. As expected, the people’s private circulation, grain prices rose a little higher. It didn’t take long for those grain merchants to come forward to talk about selling grain to them privately.
And all this Luo Zishang unknowingly, by the time he found out, Liu Yuru had already put all the grain down, grain prices began to fall rapidly.
At this time, a few of the Yangzhou merchants also realized that this was someone’s game. But everyone didn’t say it, this kind of smothered opportunity to make a fortune, smart people will not say.
And Luo Zishang is also after catching a person who speculates in grain, which realized that everything has been uncontrollable. And when Liu Yuru watched the grain reach a low point, she had people quickly start collecting grain.
They are only 20,000 stones short, so Liu Yu Ru upholds the collection of how much can be collected, after collecting the ship and leave.
Luo Zishang sent people to privately mix with the people who fried grain to inquire about the situation, and when the situation was clear, Luo Zishang fell into deep thought, next to his subordinates said, “My lord, should we arrest all these people?”
Luo Zishang was silent for a long time, he suddenly smiled, “Interesting.”
He raised his eyes to look ahead and slowly said, “So this is actually his intention, I didn’t react until now.”
“Gongzi?” The people next to him were puzzled, Luo Zishang faintly looked next to him, then said, “Such a clever mastermind as they are, surely they will not live in the city and find trouble for themselves. Now go out immediately, seal off all the inns outside the city, everyone stays behind, then go to the soldiers at the city gate and give me a list of the people who have been frequenting the city and outside recently.”
“My lord, the inns outside the city…aren’t there too many of them?”
Luo Zishang thought and smiled, “The other party brought so much money with them, they won’t condescend to go and seal up the best ones. If there is still room for more, seal a few more.”
The subordinates answered.
At this time, Liu Yuru sent people to load the goods, Yin Hong accompanied Liu Yuru and complained, “Madam, you can’t eat well, you can’t live well, at least go to a decent inn, you just rent a broken house to live, what is it?”
Liu Yuru counted the food, faintly said: “This is you silly it, if the other side found out what we do and start checking people, certainly think we have money, to live in a good. Into and out of the city gates of the list of a pair, a good inn, we are finished.”
Yin Hong listened, nodded: “Understood, then we still live in the most broken inn good.”
Yin Hong said, turned his head to look at the thatched hut not far away.
This kind of place to sleep at night and still leaking wind, the average person would not really think that this sleeps a God of Wealth.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Luo Zishang led the men to search the inn.
They lived not far from the place where the search was conducted. Most of the inns outside the city were grouped together and divided into several districts, and their house was hidden at the very edge.
“So what if they do?” Liu Yuru looked calm, “We are just looking for relatives from afar, so what if we are found?”
Yin Hong listened, she took a deep breath, and now she slowly slowed down.
She pestered Liu Yuru to go over the statement again, the background story Liu Yuru has told her many times: Liu Yuru is a former Yangzhou woman.
Liu Yuru was originally a rich girl in Yangzhou, some years ago the family moved to Cangzhou, because of a disaster at home, so she returned to Yangzhou to join her lover met in Cangzhou, when she and the lover private life, promised to come to Cangzhou to marry her, but the other party returned to Yangzhou, but never returned, and now suffered a disaster, she will personally look for, but has not been able to find, the high cost of the city inn, so stay outside the city, so day after day in the city to find someone.
Liu Yuru will have depicted all the details, we are familiar with. For Liu Yu Ru did not describe the matter, Yin Hong only three words: do not know.
But Liu Yuru is still uneasy, so with Yin Hong said: “If they separate us, you will pretend to faint is.”
Outside the movement has decreased, Yin Hong from the window to look out, see Luo Zishang’s people have arrested many people, brought to the city.
Luo Zishang stood in front and looked at the merchants passing by one by one.
He scanned these people, casually chatting with them, asking two questions, then let people pass, does not seem to be a difficult.
He had five merchants arrested, the attendant followed him and said: “Sir, is it back to trial or here?”
Luo Zishang did not speak, he gazed at the large inn, after a long time, he suddenly said: “You say, so smart person, I guessed how he would, he will not also think how I will. If he guessed, would he still stay in a good inn?”
The attendant was a little confused, Luo Zishang suddenly smiled, but said, “Come on, let’s stroll around.”
Luo Zishang rode his horse and began to lead the people to look over the inn’s section one by one.
Yin Hong looked at Luo Zishang led people to go and return, heart panic, Liu Yuru raised her hand to pull her hand, lightly said: “Do not panic.”
She said, she gave a look to the next Shen Ming: “If the situation is not right, cut people off and directly break into the ship.”
Shen Ming nodded and led the men to withdraw and ambush.
Luo Zishang observed the mansions here all the way, and randomly picked the mansion to knock the door in.
He looks courteous and polite, but also does not let people get bored, was knocking on the door of the house to see him, are to kneel in a panic, he chatted casually two, then move on to the next house.
When it comes to the house in front of Liu Yuru, Yin Hong trembled slightly, Liu Yuru took a deep breath, holding her hand and said: “If he knocks on the door, you go out and tell him I am taking a nap, inconvenient to see a man outside. If he forces himself to see me, you can say that you came to ask for my permission. Remember,” Liu Yuru raised her eyes to look at her, “I’m just a big girl from Cangzhou, nothing else, an ordinary girl visiting relatives, we are what we are.”
Yin Hong gritted her teeth and nodded, when there was a knock on the door outside.
The first thing you need to do is get up and go out. Liu Yuru laid down on the bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to calm down.
She doesn’t know how, but at this moment she doesn’t feel afraid, and even has a vague feeling of boiling blood, as if the chess match, the more excited.
Yin Hong opened the door in the front yard, Luo Zishang stood at the door, smiling, “This girl, I am from the Yangzhou government, and I have been ordered to arrest important criminals, can you inform the master and let me in for a cup of hot tea?”
“My master is still taking a nap, you wait a moment.”
Yin Hong said, closed the door and went into the house.
Liu Yuru got up from the bed and arranged her clothes and makeup for herself, before letting Yin Hong invite the person in, and then she held the group fan and covered half of her face with it, before walking out.
Luo Zishang waited in the house for a moment, and when he saw Liu Yuru, his eyes were slightly dark.
Liu Yuru gave a blessing towards him and said softly, “Greetings, my lord.”
Luo Zishang smiled, but said, “I saw this simple house outside, but I didn’t expect to find a jewel inside. Miss is elegant and does not look like a small family, why do you live in such a place?”
“I am sorry to make you laugh.”
Liu Yuru lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, as if she was a bit afraid, “I came from Cangzhou, and I’ve almost used up my allowance, so I rested in such a place.”
“Cangzhou to Yangzhou is also a long journey,” Luo Zishang looked at the two of them, “you two girls just walked here by yourself?”
“Nowadays, with the war going on, how can we two small women, and only two people?” Liu Yuru sighed, “My slave hired someone to escort her here, and only when she reached the Yangzhou area, she dispersed the people.”
Luo Zishang did not say anything, he looked at the fan, looked at Liu Yuru.
Liu Yuru looks and acts like an ordinary lady, looks timid and does not even dare to look at him, but somehow, Luo Zishang always feels something strange. He always trusts his intuition, so he asked more questions: “You’ve come to Yangzhou, why do you still live outside the city?”
“The prices in the city are high,” Liu Yuru lowered her eyes, as if she was a bit embarrassed, “I don’t have much money and money, so I can only live outside the city.”
“What did you come to Yangzhou for?”
“I am looking for someone.”
“Have you found him?”
“Not yet.”
“Oh,” Luo Zishang nodded, “what are the characteristics of this person you are looking for, or should I help you look for them?”
“If so, that would be great.” The person I am looking for is a scholar, extremely handsome, named Ye Xiaozhi, do you know him?”
“I do know a person surnamed Ye who is extremely well-born.” Luo Zishang shook his fan and said with a smile, “But he is not just a scholar, nor is his name Ye Xiaozhi. How about this, why don’t you go into the city with me, and I’ll help you find someone.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru froze, and Luo Zishang raised his eyes to look at her, smiling, “What, you don’t like it?”
“Sir,” Liu Yuru said in a low voice, “although my slave is in trouble, she knows that men and women are different. How do you plan to settle the slave?”
The first time I saw him, I was very happy.
That glance made Luo Zishang’s scalp tingle, he suddenly reacted, if he really brought a woman back, I’m afraid that not only this woman, everyone will have to think more.
Without evidence, he could not just arrest people, Yangzhou has just stabilized, if he arrests people again, I am afraid no one will dare to come to Yangzhou to do business, Yangzhou is the main income of trade, if Wang Shanquan learns that he did so, he will be furious.
Especially to catch such a woman, with Wang Shanquan’s lustful nature, I am afraid he will think he is doing it for the sake of female sex.
The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem.
He smiled and said gently, “I am the one who has been abrupt.”
He got up and said, “I’ll take my leave.”
Liu Yuru nodded with a red face, and Yin Hong sent Luo Zishang out.
When Luo Zishang left, Yin Hong came back into the house and sat down, “I was scared to death, madam, is everything okay now?”
Liu Yuru sat in her seat, her hands trembling slightly.
She was also afraid of confronting Luo Zishang, but she had to hold her ground even though she was afraid. Now so many people inside and outside are looking at her, if she shows weakness, then everyone will lose their backbone.
Shen Ming came out from the shadows, she took a deep breath and said with all of them: “Take a break, Shen Ming you go see if there are any stalkers outside, after nightfall, we will leave.”
Shen Ming answered and went out to check.
Liu Yuru counted the harvest this time.
Yangzhou is far richer than the two states of Qingcang, trade and commerce developed, Yangzhou these days, the harvest is the two states of Qingcang combined.
With this money and food, Gu Jiusi in Wangdu here will no longer have to worry about. And this food and money after the loss, for Yangzhou will not appear for a while, but to next year will have the end. When the time comes for Wang Shanquan, it is also a kind of suppression.
Shen Ming strolled around, but came back with a personal mention.
The first to put on the veil, then let people come in, Shen Ming will be thrown in front of Liu Yuru, leaning on the side and said: “The stalker did not see, see a sneaky in front of the house shaking.”
Liu Yuru raised her eyes and looked at the person who was getting up on the ground.
She was wearing a veil, and when she saw the person on the ground, she felt a bit familiar, and then she heard the person on the ground respectfully say, “Miss, I am a servant of the Ye family, and I came here on the order of my son to invite Miss to have a cup of tea.”
Hearing these words, Liu Yuru then remembered that this was the person who originally served beside Ye Shian.
Liu Yuru pondered for a moment, but said, “I am not convenient to enter the city, I wonder if it is convenient for my son to leave the city?”
“My son can not go out of the city,” the other party seriously said, “the son said, heard that the young lady is prying about Luo Zishang, and related to the Gu family grand duke, he has Gu family important things to report, if the young lady is willing, can enter the city for a while.”
Hearing these words, Liu Yuru pursed her lips.
Now that the ship is on the horizon, the risk of entering the city at this moment will be much higher.
However, since Ye Shian said that the matter was related to the Gu family, it must be a very important matter indeed.
She pondered for a moment, but said: “Can I send someone into the city to talk to you in detail?”
“My son said that this matter is very important and I cannot see him in person.”
This statement was difficult for Liu Yuru, and Shen Ming immediately mocked, “Must let someone go into the city, I’m afraid it’s not a set up, right?”
“Mr. Ye is not such a person.” Liu Yuru spoke.
She looked at the sky and mulled over the time it would take to bring the message in and back again, she thought about it and finally said, “I’ll follow you into the city to see your son, but we only have two hours.”
She said, she turned her head to look at Shen Ming, with Shen Ming said: “You have a few people to the granary and the armory near, ready to oil and cannon fire, and then you personally take a team of people, ambush at the city gates, if you encounter a lockdown situation, then let people light up the granary and the armory, make a big noise, the bigger the better. When the city is in chaos, break through the gate by force.”
“Yes.”
Shen Ming answered.
They had done this kind of preparation many times.
The officials of any state would not tolerate their behavior, and once they were discovered, they were bound to be locked up and hunted down, and they had a plan to deal with the crisis long ago.
Liu Yuru will all things arranged, let Yin Hong ready to see the situation to open the boat, then will put on the curtain cap, follow that family servant into the city.
“Many people are watching around the Duke.” When the man arrived at the city gate, he said, “The servant can’t stay with you anymore. Your Excellency is at the Peony Pavilion of the Linghu Teahouse, I beg you to book a room at the Begonia Pavilion.”
Liu Yuru nodded, and the man left to go.
Liu Yuru into the city, according to the request to come to the Linjiang Teahouse, booked the Begonia Pavilion.
The Linghu teahouse is adjacent to the lake, the biggest advantage is to be able to enjoy the lakeside scenery, Liu Yuru just pushed open the door, and saw Ye Shian sitting inside.
She froze, then calmly closed the door, Ye Shian stood up, respectfully bowed and said: “Meet Miss.”
Liu Yuru understood that this was not recognizing her.
After all, she brought such a large drapery, replace her father personally, may not be able to recognize.
She couldn’t help but smile and untied her hat, revealing her delicate and gentle face, looking at Ye Shian, and said gently, “Brother Ye, long time no see.”
Ye Shian looked at Liu Yuru and froze, after a moment, he was surprised, “Sister Yuru?
“It’s me.”
Liu Yuru looked at Ye Shian, he looked much thinner, he still had the gentlemanly demeanor of a jade, but his eyebrows could not hide the haggard look.
“Long story short,” Liu Yu Ru immediately said, “I have to leave tonight, I have at most two hours to delay, you deliberately have people looking for me here, but there is something that I need to help?”
Hearing these words, Ye Shian got serious, he immediately spoke out, “Master Gu is still alive.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru was surprised: “What did you say?!”
Ye Shian repeated his words.
“Master Gu is still alive and is in the Ye Mansion,” Ye Shian looked at Liu Yuru, “I thought you were Gu Jiusi’s men, but I didn’t expect you to come personally. It’s good that you’re here, so I can hand over the person with confidence. You immediately arrange manpower, tonight we leave together.”
———————————————————————————-
The author has something to say.
Gu Jiu Si: Mo Shu Bai, cross out the “we”, immediately! Cross it out!
Liu Yuru: What do you have against my brother Shian, who has a good character and a good education?
Father Gu: What do you have against Mr. Ye, who has both good character and good education?
Gu Jiu Si: You say I dare not have an opinion?
It took Liu Yuru a long time to digest the news, and then she said, “My father-in-law is now at the Ye residence, is he in good health?”
“He has a leg injury.” Ye Shian said smoothly, “So when the time comes, we need someone to carry him out. There are people watching all over the House of Ye, and I’m surrounded by people, so I’ll take care of it first, and then leave the city quickly, and you arrange to meet them outside, everything must be fast.”
Liu Yuru answered, and then said, “You’re leaving too?”
“Yes.”
“What about your family?”
“Only Yun’er and I are left in the Ye family. Yun’er is now in the royal residence, I will notify her in advance, and we will meet at the city gate.”
Liu Yuru froze, she couldn’t help but say, “You…where is the rest of your family?”
“Wang Shanquan beheaded my father to make an example of him, and my mother hanged herself that night. Wang Shanquan kept me and Yun’er in order to keep my uncle in check in the future.”
This series of words Liu Yuru heard him say very calmly, Liu Yuru tea, hand trembling slightly, Ye Shian gaze to the lake outside the building, look calm, without half a ripple: “Yun’er beautiful, Wang Shanquan has long coveted, after the death of his parents came to the door to ask to marry Yun’er as his concubine, he privately sent someone to say to Yun’er, if she does not want to kill me, Yun’er in order to save me, they agreed to do. I was so busy with my parents’ funeral that I didn’t pay much attention to her, so I was taken into the house by Wang Shanquan in a sedan chair.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru’s breathing almost stopped.
She grew up with Ye Yun, even though the first contact with Ye Yun, she thought to take advantage of Ye Yun and Ye family more contact, but the human heart is flesh long, boudoir for many years, Ye Yun and she is handkerchief friends, the girl has always been arrogant, the first daughter of noble family, eyes above the top, to often told her, this Yangzhou young talent can not enter her eyes, she wants to go to the East Capital to choose a son-in-law.
This is such a person, actually to Wang Shanquan that old man as a concubine?
There was angry blood boiling in her heart, but she couldn’t say anything. Ye Shian raised his eyes to look at her and said, “I know you have a good relationship with her, don’t be too upset, and calm down a bit, we will pick her up today, and later on, when we kill these related days, I will find a good home for her again.”
“You’re right.”
Liu Yuru exhaled a breath of turbid air and tried to calm down: “You go back to the house first to prepare, tonight at dusk, you will come out of the city with Yun’er, I will meet you outside the city.”
“Okay.”
Ye Shian answered, “Many thanks.”
He said this many thanks, calm and tired, Liu Yuru heard the hardness in these words, when she thought of Ye Shian that spirited Yangzhou leader’s appearance, she felt some hard feelings.
“Brother Ye…”
She hoarse voice, want to persuade a few words, but do not know what to say. The persuasion is more abrupt, but do not make a sound, looking at this person to carry all the way, she felt, too bitter.
Ye Shi stood quietly, waiting for her next sentence. Liu Yuru closed her eyes, finally picked up the drapery hat, with Ye Shian said: “I go out first to prepare, see you at dusk.”
After saying that, Liu Yuru put on the drapery cap and hurriedly turned around to go down.
Shen Ming was standing downstairs, and when he saw Liu Yuru coming down, he followed her and whispered, “How is it?”
Liu Yuru walked ahead, she walked quickly, her expression was cold and she lowered her voice and said, “You deploy down according to the original plan, we have to take Ye Shian and his sister away tonight. They are afraid to be in danger when they leave the city, I will meet you at the city gate, you see what happens.”
Shen Ming has been hanging out in Yangzhou City for these days and has long known who Ye Shian is. He answered and then split up with Liu Yuru.
Liu Yuru headed outside the city, in fact, she had many doubts, such as how Gu Langhua escaped, Luo Zishang in the end who is. But she is too late to ask more questions, now first to save the Ye siblings and Gu Langhua out, and then ask Ye Shian is not too late.
Liu Yuru left the city and immediately went to the pier and found Yin Hong and Yun Yun.
All the grain had been loaded on the ship, and they had shipped out five shiploads of grain before. They rented a ship, scattered the grain, and transported it from Yangzhou to the nearest dock in Qingzhou, and then the Qingzhou merchant ship transported it all the way to Youzhou.
Now this is the last ship of grain, silver, and people, such a large amount of silver can not be placed on other people’s ships, can only take away themselves. And the most important thing, or people.
She traveled to, plus the follow-up followed over, a caravan of nearly seven hundred people, all in this ship. She must ensure their safety, wait for Ye Shian out, afraid that will alarm Luo Zishang, then Luo Zishang catch up, if they are affected by the ripple, it is her sin.
Liu Yuru arrived at the boat, found Yun Yun, with Yun Yun said: “You immediately set out, do not delay. Today’s food prices fluctuate, until the news of food prices comes out later, Luo Zishang fear will guess that I want to leave, so you must go now, no delay. In addition, you immediately send someone to contact acquaintances, to Shen Ming and other people who have not returned to prepare a document road guide, not to go to Youzhou, other go anywhere, give them in other merchant ships to buy tickets. Prepare for me four more people, an elderly man, plus two women and a man.”
Yun Yun looked at Liu Yu Ru’s face, so she knew the situation was urgent, and did not ask more questions, and after nodding her head to understand what she wanted, she went to find someone.
They have been mingling in this Yangzhou dock for a month, Yun Yun has already made a good relationship with various merchant teams. She went out for a walk and brought back a bunch of people, who all gave their documentary road guides to Yun Yun, and then Liu Yuru gave them the documentary road guides of their group.
Each of them was paid a good amount of money for them, and Liu Yuru said with them, “Everyone, after you arrive in Youzhou, we will cover your food and accommodation, and arrange your way home in less than a month, don’t worry.”
The old man standing in front of them thanked them, but in fact the money Yun Yun gave them today alone was already a lot, and it would be best if they could give it later, it didn’t matter if they couldn’t.
Liu Yuru nodded, exchanged the ultimatum, then let Yun Yun get on the boat. Yin Hong followed behind Liu Yu Ru, who said with her, “You go too.”
“Madam…” Yin Hong was a bit anxious, “If you want us to go first, at least let me stay behind.”
“What can you do if you stay?” Liu Yu Ru some amusement, “you martial arts skills or what? Hurry up and go, don’t drag me down. You take good care of the ship, to ensure that the silver to Wangdu.”
Liu Yuru said up and looked up in the direction of Youzhou: “What do you care about money at this time!”
Yin Hong some hate iron can’t steel: “I said don’t come to Yangzhou don’t come to Yangzhou, came to take so much silver, if something happens… something happens…”
Yin Hong eyes with red, Liu Yuru smiled: “If I go with you at this moment, there will be no accident. The first time I saw you, I had to take you back to your home, so you should go back first, I will be fine.
“Last time it was like this, this time it’s still like this,” Yin Hong gritted his teeth, “when will you let people feel at ease!”
“If I don’t leave home, you’ll probably be relieved.”
“Madam, the boat is leaving.”
Yun Yun voiced out from behind, Liu Yu Ru patted Yin Hong’s hand, then pushed her in the direction of the boat and turned back to order people.
Yin Hong gritted her teeth and finally got into the boat. Liu Yuru looked back, the boat set sail, Liu Yuru looked at the sky, calculating the time, turned her head and said to the person she left alone: “You go by land, take the fastest way back to Wangdu, and ask Lord Gu to pick me up in Guangyang.”
The other party answered “Yes”.
The news would take two days, at most three days, to reach Wangdu. Guangyang is about halfway between Yangzhou and Wangdu, so if Gu Jiushi brings people here quickly, they can arrive in five days at most.
Liu Yuru stood at the pier, recalculated the time, led the remaining few guards, took the document road guide, and rushed back to the Yangzhou city gate.
In front of the Yangzhou city gate, merchants came and went, and there were many simple tea stores that had set up shacks to welcome the merchants here.
Liu Yuru with a curtain hat sitting in the tea store, the road guide ultimatum to the subordinates, let them go into the city to find other people, all the road guide ultimatum sent down, and passed her orders, tonight if you can take advantage of the chaos to run out, then directly run out, follow the road guide requirements, find a safe place to rest, let people bring news back to Wangdu, she will send people to get the road guide to meet.
If you can’t run out, stay in Yangzhou, they bought a house in Yangzhou before, all stay well inside, wait for Yangzhou to reopen the city gates, at least three days, three days later if nothing happens, and then out of the city, first south to a safe place, also let people send a message back, she will also let people come to pick up.
After the order, Liu Yuru left a guard to stay by his side, sitting in the tea store drinking tea and waiting for Ye Shian.
And at this time, Ye Shian packed up his things and helped Gu Lang Hua into the carriage. He looked at the sky, the news he had already passed by his people to Ye Yun, he had long ago bought people inside the royal residence, wait until after dusk, Ye Yun can be transported out of the royal residence from the outside of the slop bucket mixed out. The way disgusting is disgusting a little, but can come out will be good.
Ye Shian calculated that the time is almost up, drink a mouthful of tea, with the guards said: “Do it.”
They have already figured out the location of the scouts, but have been disguised not to know, after this word, the Ye family secret guards lurking in the shadows immediately take action, silently to the scouts behind, wipe the neck on the spot.
Ye Shian changed his outfit, he changed into a rough coat, with a hat and a black mole on his face, without looking carefully, no one would think that this is Ye Shian, the son of the Ye family.
He drove the carriage to go out, secret guards dived into the crowd to follow behind, the carriage clattered forward, mixed with the noise, as if Yangzhou is no more than an ordinary afternoon.
At this time, Luo Zishang was finishing the trial of a group of merchants brought back in the morning.
He took the handkerchief from the person next to him, wiping the blood on his hands, and said: “This batch of people are not, dragged to the outskirts of the countryside to deal with, report a message to the family, say that encountered bandits did not it.”
“Then the corpses…”
The bookkeeper was a bit hesitant, Luo Zishang faintly looked at the bookkeeper: “Do I need to teach you this?”
The bookkeeper hastily replied, “My servant will take care of it.”
Luo Zishang stood in the courtyard, pondering: “The price of food fluctuates so much, the other party’s capital is probably quite a lot, and I’m afraid there is official support behind it. How is the price of grain today?”
Luo Zishang asked, the next person hurried to give Luo Zishang the news of today’s food prices. Luo Zishang looked at these grain prices, from morning to afternoon, the grain price has increased by three, this is the first time since the grain price reduction back up, Luo Zishang frowned, then said: “Today’s trading is frequent?”
“My lord,” said the guard specializing in spying on grain prices, “by this afternoon, many people had sold out of grain in their hands.”
“Sold out?!”
Luo Zishang turned around sharply, and the guard answered: “Yes, I asked many people, they all plan to collect grain to sell tomorrow, their own hands are empty. Not one, but many, all empty.”
Luo Zishang did not say anything, he was silent for a moment before reacting violently: “Not good, they want to run! You guys immediately send people to the pier, seal all the boats, no one is allowed to leave!”
Saying that, Luo Zishang hurriedly went out and said anxiously, “I’ll go to Lord Wang to ask for the lock-up order.”
Luo Zishang drove his horse and galloped along, while Ye Shian drove his carriage with his head down, brushing past Luo Zishang.
Luo Zishang ran wildly to the king’s mansion, dismounted and entered the mansion, then asked Wang Shanquan for the lock-up order, and then hurriedly went out.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Ye Shian’s handyman immediately passed the news to Ye Yun’s ears and said, “Miss, Mr. Luo has just come and looks very urgent.”
Ye Yun was packing things in the inner room, she heard the news, paused in her movements, then lowered her voice and said, “What is he doing here?”
“I heard that they came to ask for the locking order.”
At these words, Ye Yun looked up sharply.
Her heart was beating fast, and she desperately thought, “What is Luo Zishang doing at this time to ask for the locking order?
Could it be that he found out that Ye Shian was leaving? The first thing you need to do is to get out of the city, and if you can’t get out today, you’ll be in danger.
Ye Yun gritted her teeth as people outside urged, “Miss, we have to hurry, the gongzi is waiting for us!”
“Not going.”
Ye Yun looked up sharply, she squatted down, took out the dagger from under the bed board, looked up and said with the person outside: “You go tell the Duke, tell him not to wait for me, go by himself, I will come later. If I can’t come, let him take revenge on me.”
“Miss…”
“Go now! Or else miss the news,” Ye Yun hid the dagger under the pillow and shouted lowly, “I will have your life!”
Hearing these words, the maid did not dare to delay and hurriedly went out.
Ye Yun took a deep breath as she looked at the gold and silver jewelry on the counter.
Wang Shanquan had taken her for less than three months, unlike other concubines, she came from a famous family and was young and beautiful, even if she had nothing good for Wang Shanquan, this old man took it as her pride and favored her quite a lot, Ye Yun didn’t know how long this favor would last, but no matter what time it was, she felt sick.
Ye Yun walked to the table, found the sharpest gold hairpin and inserted it into her head, and then she put on one of Wang Shanquan’s favorite light gauze thin clothes, lay down into the quilt, and said with the maid: “Go and call the lord, say I am sick, and ask him to come over for sure.”
The maid standing outside froze, and did not dare to ask more questions, so she went to find Wang Shanquan.
Hearing that Ye Yun was sick, Wang Shanquan froze and couldn’t help but say, “How is madam sick?”
The servant girl lowered her head and whispered, “I don’t know, but I saw the madam wearing a gauze and lying on the bed, so I asked the servant girl to come and ask your honor.”
With these words, Wang Shanquan immediately understood. This is not sick, this is clearly seduction, is the love interest.
Wang Shanquan’s heart was amazed, Ye Yun bowed her head to him for the first time, he could not help but be happy, and did not have time to think more, so he hurried over.
Wang Shanquan entered the room, through the gauze, they saw the beauty lying on the bed, one hand on his head, lying on his side to look at him. A pair of eyes full of pure emotion, white thighs exposed in the red veil outside, beautiful and moving.
Wang Shanquan breathed a breath, but pretended to be silly: “What does Yun’er mean by this?”
Ye Yun smiled, as if with hooks in her eyes, hooked her fingers and said, “Lord, come over here, I have something good to share with you.”
Wang Shanquan’s brain couldn’t think much, he couldn’t wait to pounce over, Ye Yun giggled, rolled over and pressed Wang Shanquan to the bed, softly said, “Lord, you close your eyes, I’ll do it.”
“Come, come quickly.”
Wang Shanquan closed his eyes and spoke out urgently.
“Good.”
Ye Yun replied in a soft voice.
At the same time, she took the soft pillow from the side with one hand, and the other hand went under the pillow, and then she didn’t hesitate to pull the dagger and stabbed Wang Shanquan’s heart fiercely and quickly! At the same time, the soft pillow fiercely pressed on Wang Shanquan’s face, dead his voice into the pillow.
Wang Shanquan opened his eyes and quickly struggled, Ye Yun did not know where to come from the explosive force, the weight of the whole person pressed on that pillow, the other hand holding the knife, crazy and stabbed in again.
One knife after another, the whole bed was stained red with blood, Ye Yun saw Wang Shanquan did not move, finally deflated, directly from the bed rolled down.
She sat on the floor covered in blood, and the whole person froze for a moment.
Wang Shanquan’s eyes were wide, lying on the bed, staring dead at the top of the bed. He probably couldn’t understand until his death how a soft woman could have such guts.
Ye Yun’s whole body was trembling, but she still had to grit her teeth and get up.
She staggered up and rummaged through the cupboard to find the underling’s clothes that Ye Shian had asked someone to prepare for her. After she quickly changed into them, she climbed out of the window and then shouted, “It’s not good, Lord Wang has been assassinated!”
After shouting, Ye Yun quickly ran away and rushed towards the backyard.
She had to be faster.
Faster.
Inside the Wang Mansion, people were tumbling and many people were shouting, “Quick, find Duke Luo! Find Duke Luo!”
The royal family quickly discharged people and went to find Luo Zishang at the first opportunity.
And Luo Zishang took his troops and horses and sped towards the city gate.
When Ye Shian saw Luo Zishang from afar, he gritted his teeth and immediately said to the people around him, “Drive the carriage out immediately and take Master Gu out of the city gate, I’ll wait for Miss!”
The guards did not delay, immediately drove the carriage to the city gate, Ye Shian hid in the dark, saw Luo Zishang driving his horse galloping, a stone in his hand flew out, Luo Zishang’s horse was frightened and rose, Ye Shian quickly left.
This is the moment of delay, Gu Langhua’s carriage will be lined up in front of the city gate.
When Luo Zishang rushed to the city gate, Gu Langhua’s carriage had just left the city.
“Here is the order to lock the city,” Luo Zishang could not stop the people who had already left, so he could only block the city gate with his soldiers and horses and shouted, “Everyone stop, no one is allowed to go forward! Soldiers immediately close the gates, those who disobey the order will be executed!”
Ye Shian clenched his fist, Liu Yuru sitting outside the city tea store, heard this loud shout, she put down her cup of tea, with a handkerchief pursed his lips.
With these words, everyone was frozen.
It was then that a strange shout erupted from the crowd: “Oh no, the government is going to kill people, to massacre the city!”
The crowd was in chaos, and they were about to come forward. Luo Zishang looked around, told the soldiers to put up their spears, and said angrily: “Whoever dares to come forward will be killed on the spot!”
With these words, the crowd quieted down.
Ye Shian, who was hiding in the shadows, glanced at the distance and saw Ye Yun’s maid hurrying over, bowing her head and coming to Ye Shian’s side, whispering, “Miss said, let you go first.”
“Where is she?”
“Miss knows that Luo Zishang has locked the city, and said she wants to find a way.”
Ye Shian gritted his teeth: “What can she do!”
Saying that, he took a deep breath, secretly called for the secret guards and immediately ordered, “Hurry up to find Miss, bring her here at all costs!”
“Then you…”
“I don’t need to care!”
Ye Shian raised his eyes to the secret guard: “Protect Miss, do you know that!”
The secret guard did not dare to say more, and went out in response.
Ye Shian glanced around, everyone and Luo Zishang were at a standstill. It was at this time that a cry of alarm erupted from the crowd, but a group of masked men suddenly rushed towards the officers and soldiers, without saying a word, raised their swords and cut!
“Run!”
“Charge!”
“Yangzhou is going to be chaos, go out and talk!”
The surrounding shouting, a chaos, Ye Shian can no longer be patient, towards the city gate rushed.
Luo Zishang, standing on his horse, immediately caught Ye Shian from the crowd and said loudly, “Catch him!”
Everyone rushed towards Ye Shian, but at that moment, there was a loud sound in the distance, and the fire light rose to the sky.
“My lord,” the person next to me said anxiously with Luo Zishang, “it’s the direction of the granary.”
Then a second loud sound came again: “My lord, it’s the direction of the armory.”
“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”
I don’t know who called up, but at this time the residents of Yangzhou City ran out and rushed towards the city gate.
“Open the door, my lord, please let us out!”
The people panicked into a frenzy, the soldiers and Ye Shian tangled together, Shen Ming with his men secretly circled the soldiers and escorted Ye Shian out, Luo Zishang grabbed the bow from the side and pointed it at Ye Shian regardless.
“My lord,” the distant soldier old far originally, driving his horse rushed to Luo Zishang, loudly said, “Lord Wang was assassinated!”
Luo Zishang hand slightly trembled, arrows sped out, Ye Shian hurriedly dodged sideways, then was next to a large knife slashed violently on the arm.
Shen Ming, who was able to hold the knife in time, did not cut too deep, Shen Ming kicked away the person next to him, pulled Ye Shian and rushed outside and said, “Go!”
“My Lord,” the soldiers surrounded Luo Zishang, “you must hurry back, can not be consumed at the city gates! The granary and arsenal must be reinforced, we can’t spend it all here.”
The biggest matter in the world is not as important as the assassination of Wang Shanquan at this moment.
Wang Shanquan is the son of heaven of Yangzhou, at this time, whether to appease the people or stabilize the situation, he must go back to deal with.
Luo Zishang gritted his teeth and immediately said, “Chase me immediately, don’t let that person go!”
After giving the order, Luo Zishang led his men to drive their horses back to the royal residence.
Shen Ming took Ye Shian and fought and retreated, once Luo Zishang left, the soldiers were scattered, plus the huge flow of people in this matter, and all the people, most of the soldiers can not fall on the sword.
Shen Ming threw Ye Shian to the outside: “Hurry up and go!”
Ye Shian stumbled and rushed out. He threw the knife away, covered his injured arm, and rushed forward in the crowd.
It was a carriage parked at the roadside, and Ye Shian was running anxiously when he heard a woman’s clear voice say, “Come up.”
Ye Shian looked back and saw Liu Yuru driving her horse in the carriage, her curtain cap was rolled up, revealing her gentle and calm smile.
Ye Shian’s heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly got on the carriage and whispered, “Many thanks.”
“There are clothes inside, change your clothes.”
Ye Shian didn’t ask too many questions, he followed Liu Yuru’s arrangement, poured the medicine on the wound, wrapped the bandage, and then he changed his clothes, one side of the change side said: “The gentleman who stayed behind, is it okay?”
“It’s fine,” Liu Yuru reassured, “he was used to roaming in the past, very experienced in dealing with the government. They wear other clothes inside their clothes, wait a moment to pull the cloth on the face, the coat off, a knife thrown, mixed in the crowd no one can recognize. You don’t have to worry.”
Hearing this, Ye Shian was slightly relieved, and he added: “Where is Master Gu?”
“Already left.”
Liu Yuru said, “I had someone escort him by land, the documents are all ready-made, Luo Zishang also did not find his presence, as long as we both are okay, he will not be in trouble.”
“Yuru…” Ye Shian spoke, seemingly in some difficulty, Liu Yuru raised her eyes to look at him, know what he was going to say, calmly said, “We are waiting for a while to take someone else’s boat, to the dock, if Rhyme came then, then go. If not, we have to go too.”
Ye Shian gritted his teeth: “When the time comes, I’ll stay by myself.”
Liu Yuru sulked, she knew she couldn’t change Ye Shian, she was silent, pondering if there was any other way.
The two drove the carriage all the way to the riverside, which by this time was in chaos, the merchants were arguing with the soldiers, who wouldn’t let the boat open, and the merchants naturally refused to oblige.
The people at the pier were all foreign merchants, different from the people in the city. The last time Wang Shanquan bloodshed Yangzhou merchants, has made all merchants tremble, just for money, boldly come to do business. Now they want to detain the ship and detain people, who does not feel panic in their hearts?
The soldiers themselves do not see these merchants, speak with contempt, the two sides negotiate a bit, the soldiers are impatient, the merchants panic and anger, emotions spread in the dock, Liu Yuru help Ye Shian down, then want to lead him to the ship.
“No need.” Ye Shian said decisively, “Yuru, you go to the boat first, I’ll wait for Yun’er here, if she doesn’t come, there’s no way I’ll leave. You don’t have to accompany me, don’t delay you.”
Liu Yuru pursed her lips, not to mention that Ye Shian had helped her and the Gu family three times, just to mention her connection with the Ye family, she could not stand by and watch Ye Shian stay here.
She took a deep breath and finally arrived: “Brother Ye, let’s do this, you have injuries, and the target is too big, too many people who know you. You go to the boat first, I’ll wait here, when Yun’er comes, I’ll take her to the boat. If the boat sails and we don’t come up, you come back down and wait for us.”
Hearing this reason, Ye Shian was silent for a moment, he pursed his lips and finally got on the boat.
Liu Yuru is a lady of the house, in addition to acquaintances, not many people have seen her in the past. But he is Yangzhou’s famous young talent, just standing here, like a light in the dark night, all over the body written “come and get me”.
Ye Shian got on the boat, Liu Yuru stood at the mouth of the dock and waited, not long, Shen Ming also rushed over, he looked at Liu Yuru, wiped a handful of face and said: “How are you still here?”
Liu Yuru looked at the soldiers and merchants who were moving towards the side.
Because the boat is not allowed to open, the merchants and soldiers are making more and more noise, the sky has completely darkened, drizzling rain, Liu Yuru bought an umbrella from the side store, holding an umbrella towards the entrance of the pier. Liu Yuru glanced at the merchant’s leader, the strong man was yelling with the officers, the strong man is a northern accent, temper, the officer was bored by his yelling, drew his sword, said angrily: “What yelling? I told you not to go out to sea, you can not go out, what are you yelling with me? Are you contemptuous of the imperial court and impatient to live?
“You merchants, all do some low-buying high-selling immoral things, talking to you is to lift you up, you do not make the official angry, angry to cut you one by one, the people still applaud!”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru stood aside and laughed, her voice gentle, lightly said: “So, half a year ago Yangzhou blood rust is not over, Yangzhou is planning to send a new soul again?”
“What are you talking about, you bitch!”
The officer saw Liu Yuru a woman, then rushed up in anger, Shen Ming hurriedly stopped the officer, compensated with a smile and said, “Sir, this is just a little girl, you do not ordinary insight.”
Liu Yuru made a scared look to apologize repeatedly.
Everyone saw the people in front of the low voice, the heart of the fire.
Liu Yuru sighed and said, “Don’t argue, it’s useless to talk, go back to the boat, I’ll wait for my family.”
After saying that, Liu Yuru left with ease.
Officials looked at those merchants, sneered; “A group of people still do not have a little girl to see, you hear me, it is useless to say!”
The group stopped talking, the words were imprinted on their hearts. Liu Yuru looked behind all the faces, whispered with Shen Ming said: “You go over to add fire, see if they intend to fight together against the government, if you want, you help them think of a way, and so on a while the boat to drive away one by one in an orderly manner, there must be someone to command, or not wait for the government to arrest people, the first to crash. Someone in here has to be a conductor to take the lead.”
“Understood.”
Shen Ming nodded, and had a calculation in his heart.
This half year since the turmoil, all people are much bolder, we say business, but such businessmen doing business in the north and south of the sea, who has not seen the knife and seen blood?
Yangzhou in the past to do things, is always a businessman’s heart a hurdle that can not be overcome, now trapped here for no reason, everyone is afraid.
At this time there are thousands of people docked on the pier, we have a boat and escort, and most do not belong to Yangzhou people, as long as they leave, is the sky high birds fly.
These traveled north and south of the master, in their own territory are all tributed, now the already uneasy, and humiliated by this official soldiers, Liu Yuru words fell on their hearts, let them completely silent down.
Said useless, then what is useful?
Everyone has the answer in their hearts. And Shen Ming just past, they saw several merchant leaders talking, Shen Ming clasped his hands in front of his chest, smiling: “I say, we should cooperate, discuss how to go?”
Liu Yuru watched for a while and saw Shen Ming leave with the others, so she knew that Shen Ming was discussing with these people, so she ignored them again and stood at the entrance of the ferry, watching people coming from the city.
These people are running out of the city, their arrival has added to the riot at the pier. Liu Yuru, holding an umbrella, a plain clothes, calmly standing in place, itself as if circling a world, calm and quiet.
Liu Yuru looked at the crowd, there is a woman, her head covered with clothes, being protected, crowded in the crowd to come, and not far away, Luo Zishang driving a horse, with people, hurriedly chased over.
He went back to the royal residence, ordered everything, and after launching the third son of the royal residence, Wang Lingxiu, to settle the hearts of the people, he immediately rushed to the pier.
He knew in his heart that Ye Shian would not happen to leave on this day, the grain price mastermind must have dealings with Ye Shian, so the two would act so coincidentally on the same day. And Ye Yun is by no means a moment of anger killed Wang Shanquan, to kill early, why wait until now, is to force him to come back to drag him.
Luo Zishang’s people came, those who have been tense merchants completely restless, they have long been in the discussion, at this time, one does not do two do not rest, by the initial discussion with the official soldiers that the big man took the lead, cut down a guard at the anchor side of the official soldiers, then forcibly began to prepare to open the ship.
The big man is a capable one, he commanded everyone, gradually open the ship. Liu Yuru saw Ye Yun hurrying over, then saw the dark guard with her suddenly turning into the dark, Liu Yuru raised her eyes to see Luo Zishang riding on his horse directly over, obviously with a target.
Liu Yu Ru quickly towards the place where Ye Yun was hiding, walked in front of Ye Yun, the guard beside Ye Yun subconsciously to draw his sword, Liu Yu Ru instantly spoke out: “It’s me.”
Ye Yun froze, Liu Yu Ru took off her coat, gathered it around Ye Yun, gave her the document and the road guide, and quickly said, “Count back to the thirteenth boat, your brother is waiting for you up there. You go around from the back of this house, the fifth alleyway entrance to the boat, there is a road in the middle, you appear Luo Zishang will definitely see, so then I will attract Luo Zishang’s attention, when he talks to me you immediately get on the boat.”
“You…”
“Go.”
Liu Yuru turned around and walked out with her umbrella. She walked in the crowd, going against the current.
And Luo Zishang drove his horse to the ferry, he just saw Ye Yun, but in a flash he was gone again. But he knew that Ye Yun must be here.
At this moment, the official soldiers and merchants’ guards clashed completely, and the boats left one by one in an orderly manner under the command, and his command roar also lost its effect in this chaos, there were too many people, and his horse could no longer get in, so he simply rolled off his horse and squeezed towards the crowd.
He just saw Ye Yun, as long as we catch Ye Yun, at least we can catch Ye Shian!
He rushed out towards the front and pushed his way through the crowd, but at that moment, someone suddenly bumped him gently, followed by a familiar and surprised cry: “Ah, Duke Luo?”
Luo Zishang looked back and saw a woman in plain clothes standing with an umbrella in the drizzling rain. Her smile is out of place with the surrounding, gentle and calm.
Luo Zishang frowned: “You are?”
Liu Yuru raised her hand, covering half of her face, and smiled softly: “Hello again.”
Seeing this half of his face, Luo Zishang then reacted, “It’s you? What are you doing here?”
“The person I was looking for was not found, so I was planning to leave, but it turned out to be too chaotic today, so I planned to go back.”
Luo Zishang nodded and turned his head, “In that case, Miss first, I still have important things to do, farewell.”
With that, Luo Zishang intended to leave, Liu Yuru saw that Ye Yun was still a little short of getting on the boat, in an emergency, she grabbed Luo Zishang’s sleeve: “Luo Gongzi.”
Luo Zishang looked back, with a murderous aura in his eyes, and at that moment Liu Yuru’s umbrella was propped on his head, and said gently, “The night is deep and rainy, and my residence is not far, so take this umbrella.”
Luo Zishang faintly froze, Liu Yuru handed the umbrella to Luo Zishang, and with a slight blessing, she turned around and left. Luo Zishang looked at her back, for a moment in a trance, the guard next to him said: “Sir?”
“Keep looking.”
Luo Zishang twisted his head and said in a cold voice: “Immediately transfer the troops over to suppress these people.”
Saying that, Luo Zishang put away his umbrella and continued to look for people in the crowd.
Liu Yuru walked to the side and quickly went around to the house opposite the boat and waited. When the boat was about to weigh anchor, Liu Yuru saw the right moment and quickly rushed up towards the boat. Ye Shian stood at the bow of the boat, seeing Liu Yuru coming, he was busy reaching out his hand, pulling Liu Yuru up.
At this time, Luo Zishang suddenly turned around on the dock, he saw the boat slowly leaving the shore, and the boat, a plain clothes standing on the bow, next to a youth standing.
The young man looked like Ye Shian, and the woman just a few moments ago, just greeted him!
Luo Zishang’s mind quickly flashed through all the conversations with Liu Yuru.
The woman in the hut holding a fan with a shy smile, the woman in front of the ferry with an umbrella and standing calmly.
This is a rainy day, but she has no outer robe, only a single shirt.
She just said that she was going back, but she was on that boat, and the man beside her looked like Ye Shian.
She is a woman, no one at home, looking for a lover she met in Cangzhou, and now she can’t find a lover, how will she leave?
And she a thousand gold, before still see the slave girl, now how the side is empty standing at the pier, and she hit him that moment, how is so coincidental so accurate?
All the clues were strung together, and Luo Zishang reacted violently.
“Stop that boat!”
He shouted, “Hurry!”
However, it was already too late.
The men around him were too late to stop a large ship that had already set sail, and the surrounding area was already in chaos, so he couldn’t call the others.
He pushed his way through the crowd and rushed toward the ship. Liu Yuru also saw Luo Zishang in the crowd, she looked at his appearance and knew that the other party was aware of the truth.
She was slightly stunned, never thought the other party actually found out so quickly, but now that he was on the boat, Luo Zishang could not do anything about her, so she stood at the bow of the boat and watched with a smile as Luo Zishang chased him towards the boat.
She didn’t know if the other party could hear her voice, so she raised her hand and made a bow towards him, saying aloud, “Mr. Luo, see you later.”
“Stop right there!”
Luo Zishang was forced to stop at the shore and shouted out violently.
However, Liu Yuru waved her hand, turned around and entered the inner cabin.
Ye Shian and her together into the inner hide, Ye Yun sitting inside, she took off her outer robe, her body is still stained with blood, see Ye Shian and Liu Yu Ru came in, Ye Yun froze, a moment later, she jumped over, hugged Ye Shian, trembling voice: “Brother…”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Ye Shian patted Ye Yun’s back and said calmly, “Brother is here.”
Ye Yun closed her eyes, her lower lip trembled lightly, she did not say anything, after a long time, but broke out in a shocking cry.
Ye Shian was momentarily at a loss for words, he raised his head and glanced at Liu Yuru. Liu Yuru shook her head, just made a “no sound” posture.
Ye Shian had no choice but to stiffen his body and still let Ye Yun cry. When Ye Yun had cried enough, Liu Yuru helped Ye Yun to bed and went to sleep.
Ye Shian and Liu Yuru are a little sleepless, the two simply went to the deck, after the rain, the boat traveled much more stable. Liu Yuru and Ye Shian blowing the night breeze, she smiled and said, “Where do you plan to go later?”
“Once you go to Youzhou, stay in Youzhou.”
Ye Shian looked ahead, “Uncle Fan is a good official.”
“I forgot,” Liu Yuru smiled up, “your father has a deep connection with Lord Fan.”
Ye Shian smiled, seemingly a little bitter. Liu Yuru sighed, she looked at the person in front of her, this person was different from Gu Jiusi. Gu Jiusi will cry, will say the words out, frank and naked, never cover up. This person has been brought up with the training of a building since childhood, and he cannot allow himself to show a moment of wretched weakness. She wanted to comfort, but there was no way to do so. After a moment, she could only smile and say: “Speaking of which, Rhyme seems to have misunderstood you quite deeply. I remember that Rhyme said to me that you only had a career in your heart and were a cold-hearted brother, but now it seems that she misunderstood you.”
“It’s not a misunderstanding, right?” Ye Shian looked down at the water tumbling in the night, lightly said, “compared to others, I really do not know how to get along with my sister, I did not spend much time with her as a child, I only know that if something happens to her, I protect her is enough. This is the belief, but also the responsibility.”
“With a brother like you, it’s actually enough.” Liu Yuru smiled, “When I was a child, I often wondered how I didn’t have a brother like you.”
“When I was young,” Ye Shian was a little curious, “didn’t you think I was mute?”
“How could you feel that way?” Liu Yuru was surprised. Ye Shian pursed his lips and smiled: “Rhyme said so, saying that I have no energy.”
“Then you don’t know her,” Liu Yuru laughed out loud, “she often bragged to us about how good you are.”
If Ye Yun hadn’t bragged to her as a child about how perfect Ye Shian was, she wouldn’t have thought that way back then.
When she remembered her thoughts at that time, she couldn’t help but feel a little funny.
Ye Shian looked at her expression and knew she was remembering the past, so he couldn’t help but say, “Are you okay with Gu Jiusi, did he ever bully you?”
Mentioning Gu Jiusi, Liu Yuru couldn’t help but bring a smile to her face. She pursed her lips and said, “What do you think?”
“That’s probably not going to work.” Ye Shian nodded, he hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Actually, I failed you in this matter…”
“No, no, no.” Liu Yuru busy waving her hand, smiling, “It is I who should thank you for not marrying.”
Ye Shian froze, Liu Yu Ru only felt that this is not quite right, she hurriedly explained: “In fact, you can also see, my nature is not what the ladies of the house. In the beginning, it was just pretending. If I married into the Ye family, I would actually be cheating myself and everyone else.”
“Marrying Jiu Si,” Liu Yu Ru smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed, “I feel very happy. I don’t have to abide by those rules, and I don’t have to cover up. Although at first I was quite unhappy, but if you get in touch with him, you will know that he is really a very good and very good person.”
After thinking about it, Liu Yuru felt that this was still not right, and she added, “What I mean is…”
“I understand,” Ye Shian knew she was afraid he would be upset and interrupted her, “In fact, in my heart, you and Yun’er are both like my sister. If there is no delay in your marriage, and you are doing well, I am relieved.”
Ye Shian sighed: “There are not many friends left today, Yu Ru,” he said seriously, “I hope we can all be well.”
Liu Yuru heard these words, she pursed her lips, nodded and said, “Yes. Be well.”
The boat is quietly moving forward, the night is windless and moonless, Liu Yuru twisted her head, at that moment, she suddenly remembered Gu Jiusi.
She suddenly thought of Gu Jiusi.
The third day after Liu Yuru left, Luo Zishang stabilized Yangzhou with an iron fist. The people of Liu Yu Ru are almost gone, but there is still a person because of carelessness was caught by Luo Zishang, he tortured the night, finally figured out the circumstances.
After hearing how Liu Yuru entered Yangzhou, how she made waves, and how she left Yangzhou, Luo Zishang’s face turned blue.
He couldn’t believe it and asked again and again, “Is there really no one else behind her?”
“No…”
The person who was tied up gasped, “Madam Liu was a popular figure in Wangdu, not an ordinary woman.”
Luo Zishang did not say anything, he stood up in silence and said with the person next to him, “Kill.”
After saying that, he walked out and entered the study, he sat in his seat, holding the statement and never moved, his mind repeatedly imagined how Liu Yuru was behind everything, from Qingzhou, Cangzhou, to Yangzhou.
He felt the blood boiling in his veins, an inexplicable feeling of pleasure came up, he put his hand on the paper umbrella next to him and slowly spat out the name that he only knew and remembered deeply: “Liu Yuru.”
At this time, Gu Jiusi was sitting in the government office, holding a pen, he raised his head and looked up at the person who came to inform him: “Say it again?”
“Madam has asked the boat to return first with the money and grain and others, she asked you to bring people to Guangyang to pick her up.”
Gu Jiusi gripped his pen tightly, he restrained his emotions and said with difficulty, “Why did she stay?”
The other party could see Gu Jiusi’s anger and did not dare to speak, Gu Jiusi raised his eyes and said in a cold voice: “Speak!”
“Madam said it was to save someone.”
“Who is she with now?” Gu Jiusi squeezed his pen tightly, he felt his emotions were on the verge of the limit.
“Ye…Ye Shian Ye Da Gongzi.”
Hearing this name, Gu Jiusi finally couldn’t hold back, he slammed down his pen and shouted out angrily, “She’s fooling around!”
———————————————————————————-
The author has something to say: Gu Jiusi (draws a sword): I warned the men behind me that no one is allowed to come after me.
After Gu Jiusi finished dropping her pen, none of the group dared to speak.
Gu Jiusi hurriedly walked out, while walking side scolded: “She wants to save people will not let others to save? She is a woman, hands can not lift shoulder can not carry, she can save what people? Ye Shian is a big man, and she needs to save him?
Gu Jiusi said, but one side began to get the luggage from the house, and at the same time with the guards ordered: “transfer a team of people to me, tell Huang Long to help me guard Wangdu, prepare the luggage and packs road guide, this is the departure.”
Everyone did not say anything, only knew to keep their heads down and do their work. The group could feel that Gu Jiusi was holding his breath, as for what breath, others were not clear, but Mu Nan knew.
Mu Nan did not dare to speak, lowered his head and quietly stared at the person who answered.
Save people on saving people, must save who said what?
But the words have already been said, there is no way, Mu Nan followed Gu Jiusi, listened to Gu Jiusi order to transfer people: “Wangdue military camp in the best elite seconded a hundred people over.”
Since it is to save people, people can not bring too little, but also not too much, too much is the army travel, Qingzhou is afraid that it is not easy to go over. One hundred people is exactly the number of a long-distance journey of a merchant team, but it will not be overly eye-catching.
Now the time is urgent, we must ride lightly to get there.
Now he has a lot of prestige in Wangdu, if it was in the past, people would never be able to call, but now he has made Wangdu prosperous, Wangdu is convinced, and the army is grateful to him because they have enough pay and good weapons. So a hundred light horses were quickly lent out, and Gu Jiusi was also ready, so he took Mu Nan and rushed outside the city.
The first time I saw him, I had a feeling that he was holding his breath, so he drove his horse at par with Gu Jiusi and whispered, “Sir, don’t be angry.”
Gu Jiusi did not say anything, he beat his horse, all the way forward, and only after a long time did he lightly say, “I’m not angry.”
Mu Nan did not dare to speak again, a group of people spurred the horse gallop, Gu Jiusi looked at the bright moon in the sky, the heart is a little hard.
In fact, he knows what he is angry, but he can not say such words, are his own wife, he has to and an outsider to earn Liu Yuru heart position, his heart also feel lost points.
But this emotion can not be controlled, he knows how Liu Yuru married her, the past he does not care, care, will always remember when Liu Yuru cried with him to say that “I should have married him”.
At that time, the desperation and patience in her tone, to this day, he still remember.
Liu Yuru has Ye Shian in her heart.
For Liu Yuru, he and Ye Shian are completely different. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
All of her love for him, all expressions of affection, are steady and calm, just like a trickling river, without a ripple.
The opposite of the hot and ripples inside him, and such smoothness is never love.
Gu Jiusi took a deep breath, Mu Nan had been observing from the side, noticed Gu Jiusi’s movement and hurriedly said, “Gongzi, are you okay?”
“Why are you talking so much?” Gu Jiusi was a little impatient, beat the horse over, said angrily, “Stay away from me!”
After four days of travel, the ship docked at the port for resupply. The ship had just docked and Liu Yuru noticed a line of new passengers coming on board.
There were about a dozen of them, and they were equipped with swords. Although these people were polite and courteous, they carried a solemn aura between their hands and feet. Liu Yuru saw in the cabin, pondered for a moment, then went to the deck, with Ye Yun and Ye Shian said: “I guess it’s the chasers sent by Luo Zishang, let’s get off the boat, change the land to catch up.”
Ye Yun and Ye Shian did not say much, immediately packed their luggage and got off the boat with Liu Yuru.
Just as they got off the boat, those people began to inquire about their staterooms on the boat. And the three of them ran wildly all the way into the city, then Liu Yuru went to buy a carriage, she let the two of them go up, Ye Shian was busy saying, “I’m here, how can I let you, a little girl, drive?”
“You are injured.” Liu Yuru smiled, “Rhyme doesn’t know how to drive, it’s only right for me to drive.”
Ye Shian shook his head, but stubbornly said, “It’s not a serious injury, I can’t let you drive.”
Liu Yuru was helpless, she laughed and could only say, “Then you drive for a while, I’ll drive for a while, we’ll just swap.”
Only then did Ye Shian respond, and Liu Yuru pulled Ye Yun onto the carriage.
Liu Yuru obviously noticed that Luo Zishang’s people were chasing them, the other party was good at tracking, the boat didn’t catch anyone, they soon found out the direction they left and found the place where they bought the carriage, and then started chasing them continuously.
In order to deliberately avoid their search, coupled with the impact of Ye Shian’s injuries, Liu Yuru fought several times before finally shaking them off. With such a delay, it was already ten days later when they reached Guangyang.
Ye Shian’s injury has not been properly treated, delayed all the way down, the wound inflammation pus, driving the carriage will fall straight down from the carriage, but fortunately there are no sharp stones on the ground, to save his life, Liu Yu Ru saw the situation, know that if further delay is afraid that it will not work, can only take Ye Shian to the neighboring town of the medical center. The people in the medical center cleared his pus and prescribed medicine, Ye Shian was still unconscious, and Liu Yuru and Ye Yun were tired to the limit, so they had no choice but to rest in the town.
Liu Yuru did not dare to stay in the medical center, she speculated that if she was Luo Zishang, at this time, will certainly focus on having people investigate the medical center. So she let Ye Shian and Ye Yun rest in the carriage, and she herself outside the carriage, staying just outside the town, to facilitate escape at any time.
She slept restlessly at night. In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves, and when she looked back, she saw someone coming towards them.
They were clearly aiming at them and should have found the exact information. Liu Yuru did not hesitate and immediately shouted with Ye Yun in the car, “Protect your brother!”
After saying that she raised the whip, the horse rushed out quickly. Ye Yun held Ye Shian in the carriage, feeling the carriage swaying because of the excessive speed, she grabbed Ye Shian with one hand, the other hand grabbed the window, trying to maintain their balance.
And Liu Yuru listened to the sound of horse hooves behind, simply did not dare to stop, Liu Yuru looked back at the people coming after them, they ride horses, they are carriages, although there is still this gap, but at this rate, it is only a matter of time before they are caught up.
So Liu Yuru hurriedly said: “Scatter the beans! All that can be thrown, all the spices are in your hands ready, if they come close, you will scatter the spices out of the back window!”
Ye Yun answered, grabbed the unconscious Ye Shian with one hand, and grabbed the beans in the drawer with the other hand and scattered them.
That is the snacks they bought to eat in the car before, beans rolled down to the ground, Ye Yun began to throw clothes again. These things are obstacles for those galloping horses, in order to avoid these things, the speed of those people slowed down a lot.
However, after the beans and clothes were thrown, it didn’t take long for them to catch up again, and both sides chased desperately, running for who knows how long, those people finally caught up, and Ye Yun started throwing silver, taking things to smash them.
And this time the other side was already very close to them, Ye Shian also slowly woke up in the violent turmoil, he felt the movement next to him and said with some uneasiness, “What’s wrong…”
“Brother!” Ye Yun panicked out, “We’re being caught up!”
Hearing this, Ye Shian braced himself and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, he coughed lightly twice, then said, “This won’t work, I’ll go down and stop it, you guys go first.”
“No…”
Before Ye Yun could stop Ye Shian, Ye Shian grabbed his sword from the side and rolled off the carriage, leaving only one sentence, “Go!”
Liu Yuru did not dare to turn back, she drove the carriage frantically, she knew clearly that in today’s situation, she and Ye Yun two weak women stay no use.
Ye Shian alone tried to block the aggressive dozen people, but the other side obviously did not care about him, by a few people wrapped around him, and then towards Liu Yuru chase. Ye Shian anxiously followed to catch up, the two sides tangled together, the others from both sides, close to Liu Yuru.
Liu Yuru looked at those people rushed over, gritting her teeth, only knew to drive the horse fast.
And at this time, Gu Jiushi led the people, walking aimlessly on the official road.
“Sir,” said Mu Nan, yawning, “we have already changed three waves of people, so in the middle of the night, the lady must have rested and will not come.”
Gu Jiusi did not say anything, he calculated that Liu Yuru came from the south, so the south gate of Guangyang Cheng was the most likely gate for her to enter, so after he arrived in Guangyang, he had people search around the city gate in shifts, regardless of day and night.
He had been here for two days and hadn’t seen Liu Yuru, but he couldn’t do anything about it, he could only wait quietly.
He drove his horse aimlessly forward, and suddenly he heard something.
Gu Jiusi paused in his stride, told everyone to keep quiet, and frowned: “Is there any sound?”
Mu Nan listened quietly for a while, then said, “It seems to be the sound of a fight?”
Without hesitation, Gu Jiusi drove his horse and rushed out.
Liu Yuru beat the carriage and rushed towards Guangyang. Ye Yun anxiously looked outside, holding a dagger in her hand, and said with a trembling voice: “Yuru, I think this carriage seems very unstable.”
Liu Yuru did not dare to speak, she just surveyed the person next to her, the person next to her had caught up with them, but did not dare to rush forward, because she was driving too fast. So the other side turned sideways and raised their hands to cut the horse’s legs with their knives. Liu Yuru watched their movements, and as they cut over, she pulled the horse violently, and the horse raised high and jumped over.
This is a very dangerous action, at any time may be overturned, Liu Yu Ru heart beating fast, head cold sweat.
The other side did not succeed, they came again, at this time they have been surrounded by groups, the left side of the people to cut the horse, the right side of the people towards Liu Yuru cut over, Liu Yuru subconsciously dodge, so the horse leg was cut across the spot, the horse kneeled down, the carriage rolled down to the ground, Liu Yuru was thrown to the ground Ye Yun is directly mounted on the wall of the car, fainted.
Liu Yuru just looked up from the ground and saw the knife coming straight towards her.
She felt the knife towards her cold, she has never been so close to face life and death, a moment, everything around slowed down and slowed down, she thought of Su Wan at that moment, thought of Liu Xuan, thought of her life many people, and finally thought of Gu Jisi.
Her mind was blank, she actually thought at that moment, if she died, Gu Jiusi what to do.
She does not know why she had such a thought, perhaps Gu Jiusi carried her on her back in Cangzhou on the dry land, crying with her to say Liu Yuru you can not die is too deep, as for the time of life and death, she remembered, but actually he.
She decided in a moment to meet death, however, is also the blade is about to touch her that moment, a long sword broke through the air, but the other party violently pierced through the past, Liu Yuru subconsciously turned back, but was pulled up on a horse, wrapped around the waist.
She turned her head sideways and looked at the moonlight, the youth in white and jade crown, bright eyebrows with a continued open smile.
“See, I still have to do it.”
His tone with a few flirtatious, Liu Yuru dumbfounded look at him, Gu Jiusi one hand grabbed the reins, to protect her in the arms, the other hand from the waist to draw a fan, raised his hand is a fan cut the neck of the next sneak attacker.
The blood and moonlight fell on his face at the same time, he did not change his expression, his eyes fell back to her face from the side, pear swirls around the lips unrestrained deep, he looked at her appearance, happy to say: “What are you doing, call your husband ah.”
“Why are you here?”
Liu Yuru finally reacted, Gu Jiushi protect her, even cut two people, turn the horse, then led her out of the battle.
When Gu Jiusi appeared, Mu Nan had already led his men to Ye Shian, protecting Ye Shian and Ye Yun, Gu Jiusi had dozens of people on his side and only a dozen on the other side, Gu Jiusi did not need to fight yet, the people chasing Liu Yuru were already losing.
Gu Jiusi took Liu Yuru to a safe place, then said: “I have been waiting for you, just passing by at night, heard the sound, then rushed over to see.” He said, smiling, “I didn’t expect that it was really you.”
Liu Yuru was still in a state of panic when she was caught between life and death, she spoke with Gu Jiusi, while looking back at the battle, and found that the other side was being chased by Gu Jiusi’s men, then she put her mind at ease, turned her head to look at him, and when she did, she froze.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The two of them just stared at each other in silence, and only after a long time did he make a sound, saying hoarsely, “You’ve lost weight.”
Liu Yuru’s heart is a little sour, but also with a few inexplicable peace, this person came, she will not be afraid of anything.
She wanted to hug him at this moment, but felt that it was not the right time. So she lowered her head and whispered, “Running around outside, it is natural to be thin.”
The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, those killers have just fought for a short time, they withdrew back, Mu Nan took Ye Shian and Ye Yun towards Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru, Ye Yun has fainted, carried by Mu Nan, and Ye Shian is also injured, walking with a limp.
Ye Shian saw Gu Jiusi, reluctantly salute, Gu Jiusi turned down his horse, with Ye Shian returned a salute, then respectfully said: “Shian brother all the way hard, these days, the inner son has given you trouble.”
The words made Ye Shian freeze, he felt a little subtle, but did not dare to say more, and said: “It is I who have caused trouble to the madam.”
“Let’s not talk about that,” Liu Yuru saw Ye Shian’s face was white, and saw that Ye Yun had already fainted and was being carried by someone, so she hurriedly said, “Hurry up and arrange for a horse to take Rhyun and Mr. Ye back.”
Mu Nan answered and gave his horse to Ye Shian, who took Ye Yun with him, and Mu Nan and the others rode together, and the group rushed towards the city.
The group rushed back to Guangyang, Liu Yuru could see that Ye Shian’s face was not right, she knew that this is a usual bravado, so she kept an eye on Ye Shian, Gu Jiusi indifferently looked at her, suddenly hit the horse to speed up, overtaking Ye Shian, straight ahead, so that Liu Yuru could no longer see Ye Shian.
Liu Yuru frowned and said with some concern, “I think brother Ye’s face is not right, why don’t we change Mu Nan to take care of Yun’er?”
“I’m afraid he won’t, he’s used to speaking of honour, if he wasn’t unable to hold himself up, he wouldn’t have entrusted his own sister to others at will.”
Gu Jiusi’s voice was flat, and after a moment, he said, “It’s only a short distance, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Liu Yuru answered, but her heart was not at ease.
When they arrived at the place Gu Jiusi had already decided, Ye Shian carried Ye Yun into the house, he just put Ye Yun on the bed and turned his head to Gu Jiusi and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Shian could no longer support himself, and his whole body collapsed forward.
Liu Yuru had been watching him, and as soon as his body swayed, Liu Yuru hurriedly reached over and held him up, and then said to Gu Jiusi, “Call the doctor!”
Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru holding Ye Shian’s hand, he did not say anything, but went forward to squeeze Liu Yuru out of the way, himself put one hand on Ye Shian’s shoulder, carried Ye Shian to the other side of the bed and put it down, turned his head and Mu Nan said, “Go and rush, why is the doctor not coming?”
After saying that, Gu Jiusi sat on the side and said nothing more.
She did not dare to touch Ye Shian, but asked Mu Nan, who was cleaning his wounds, “Does he have other wounds?”
“There are many dark wounds,” Mu Nan sighed, “they are small, nothing serious, just a lot.”
Liu Yuru nodded and didn’t say much.
After a while, the doctor hurriedly came over, the doctor checked the pulse of two people separately, and then said with Gu Jiushi: “The young lady hit her head, there should be no serious injury, after waking up and recuperate well for a few days. This gentleman is much more serious, his original wounds were not treated properly, and now he has new injuries, and now his fever is not subsiding. If the fever doesn’t go away, I’m afraid it’s dangerous.”
The doctor wrote the prescription and said, “I will prescribe the medicine first, you take good care of it.”
Liu Yuru heard the doctor’s words, the heart can not help but some sinking. She was afraid that something would happen to Ye Shian, now Ye Yun’s family is left with Ye Shian, if something happens to Ye Shian, what should Ye Yun do?
However, now there is no way, Liu Yuru stood aside to watch Ye Shian, heart not half sleepy.
Gu Jiushi walked behind Liu Yuru, lightly said: “Go back to sleep, here there is Mu Nan care, it’s okay.”
Liu Yuru nodded, she answered and followed Gu Jiusi out of the house.
The wind was cold at night, so Gu Jiusi walked beside her, blocking the wind for her.
Liu Yuru’s mind was wooden, she was full of Ye Shian’s affairs, her heart was full of worry, and she couldn’t care about her surroundings for a while.
Gu Jiusi went into the house with her, she was a little slow in doing things, Gu Jiusi saw it and sighed and said, “Don’t think so much, wash up first and get some sleep.”
Liu Yuru was confused, nodded, and then went to bed.
In fact, she was very sleepy, but she couldn’t sleep at all, Ye Shian’s life and death were pressing on her heart, making her highly nervous. Since she went to Yangzhou, she has been sleeping uneasily, every day she opened her eyes, she was hung up on the lives of so many people, and was chased all the way from Yangzhou, and was even more highly nervous all the time, now Ye Shian’s life and death, Ye Yun is unconscious, her whole brain is tense, and numb and restless.
Gu Jiusi extinguished the lights, lying next to her, Liu Yuru back to him, she could not sleep, but she subconsciously thought, Gu Jiusi is also running around for days, she was afraid to wake Gu Jiusi sleep, so did not dare to move, on the night with eyes open, thinking about Ye Shian in the end can pass tonight.
If not…
Her heart suddenly became difficult.
She has lost a lot.
Her family and friends from the past are leaving one by one, and now she has to face Ye Shian’s departure?
Liu Yuru pondered, and after holding her breath for a long time, she finally quietly got out of bed, put on a piece of clothing, and planned to go out. However, when she opened the door quietly, she heard Gu Jiusi’s voice ringing out calmly, “Going to see Mr. Ye?”
Liu Yuru stiffened, and after a moment, she sighed: “I couldn’t sleep, always thinking, in case something happened to him…”
She said, her tone was a bit difficult: “Something happened, the last side, I should be in order to be good.”
Gu Jiusi did not speak, after a long time, he stood up, draped clothes, but said: “I’ll go with you to watch.”
“You rest,” Liu Yuru sighed, with some pain in his eyes, “you are also tired.”
Gu Jiusi did not say anything, he tied his clothes and came to Liu Yuru, carried the lamp from the side, held the lamp for her and said, “Let’s go, I will go with you.”
The two of them walked down the long corridor with the lamp and headed for Ye Shian’s house. Liu Yuru felt this person walking beside her, blocking the wind for her, her heart suddenly let go of a lot, she suddenly wanted to talk to Gu Jiusi, say her heart’s hard feelings, anxiety, anxiety. But she consistently holds back, and can’t say anything.
Gu Jiusi noticed the emotional surge next to him, he turned his head to look at her, saw her lowered eyebrows, so he stretched out his hand, holding her hand, and said calmly: “The sky is falling, I am always there.”
Liu Yuru had a sour nose, she lowered her head, with a nasal voice, and answered, “I know.”
Two people walked into the room, Ye Shian is still lying on the bed, Ye Yun lying on another bed, two people arrived, Liu Yu Ru sat next to the position, quietly watching Ye Shian.
If at this time is a person looking at Ye Shian, she will be about afraid. She is actually not very bold, and not strong enough, she is afraid to face life and death parting, but this God wants to force you to face when there is no avoiding, then only head on.
However, now she has a person, Gu Jiusi standing behind her, quietly accompanying her, she suddenly felt the comfort and strength brought by a relationship.
Ye Shian was so hot that he became confused, he intermittently shouted the names of many people, his father, his mother, Ye Yun, his uncle…
He said something vaguely, Liu Yuru quietly looked at him, she suddenly wanted to say something to Gu Jiusi, she smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: “He is a person, his life is to live too heavy-minded, everything to themselves, as a child, and grow up has not changed.”
Gu Jiusi sat down, Liu Yuru leaned on the side of Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi body stiffened, a moment later, he raised his hand, resting on Liu Yuru’s shoulder.
Liu Yuru slowly said, “Do you know why I wanted to marry him before?”
“Why?”
“Because when I was little, every time he went away, he brought gifts to Ye Yun, I was envious, I also wanted such a brother. I told Ye Yun about it, and then I don’t know why, but after that, whenever he went away, he always remembered to bring me a gift.”
“I thought at that time, this man is too good to people, if I marry him, it should be excellent.”
“He really is a very good person.”
Liu Yuru’s voice was a little choked up.
Although the friendship is not deep, however, in her young time, this adhere to the etiquette of the teenager, is one of the few glory.
Gu Jiusi may find it difficult to understand how precious all feelings are to a person who is emotionally barren. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
In fact, she also understands that Ye Shian to her, not only is the old friend, but also like certain signs of her youth. The Gu family moved north, the Liu family went into exile, the Ye family was broken, Yangzhou was no longer the Yangzhou she remembered, and Da Rong was not the Da Rong she thought it was.
The fear and anxiety brought about by the chaotic world has always been buried in her heart, she always restrained and tolerated these emotions, but finally in the fugitive for more than ten days, she almost died, Ye Shian life and death unknown, Ye Yun unconscious, all burst out.
She tumbled inside, she was afraid that Ye Shian could not open his eyes the next day, but this fear, not only the feelings of Ye Shian the person, more, if Ye Shian died, Liu Yuru’s past, perhaps also completely gone.
She actually wants to say this to Gu Jiusi, directly saying I’m afraid, I’m terrified, I’m uncomfortable.
But she couldn’t say it.
Too long to teach her silence and disguise, so that she can not tell those things inside straight to people. She can only pick up some of the things in her head, and Gu Jiusi slowly tell.
Only then did she notice that Gu Jiusi had not responded. She looked up at him and wondered, “Why don’t you say anything?”
“Why do you want to talk?”
“My heart is hard,” Liu Yuru smiled bitterly, her words were light and seemingly uneventful “I just wanted to talk to you.”
Gu Jiusi was silent, he seemed to resist these topics, but he raised his eyes, looking at the girl’s glazed eyes, he suddenly understood how she felt at the moment.
She was tired.
She is afraid.
Gu Jiusi’s heart softened, he sighed, after a long time, he tried to speak: “I hated him as a child, because my father always compared him to me, and I couldn’t compete.”
Liu Yuru heard this and laughed lightly, Gu Jiusi raised his eyes to look ahead and slowly said, “I hope he is well and nothing happens tonight.”
“That’s natural.”
“Otherwise, I really won’t be able to compete for the rest of my life.”
Hearing these words, Liu Yuru froze, she looked up at him, Gu Jiusi lowered his eyes and continued, “You also do not worry, you sleep against me, wait a while, if he wakes up, I call you.”
Liu Yuru answered, she leaned on Gu Jiu Si shoulder, feeling Gu Jiu Si’s temperature from the clothes through to her, she quietly leaned for a while, finally fell asleep.
