Chapter 3: The Snake That Comes Out of Its Hole Without Guiding

The next morning, the group boarded the ship and went straight to Hangzhou. Before the ship was set off, Manager Ma kept looking for someone to come and try to keep him. Unfortunately, no one was seen in the end.

Qian Yuan doesn’t care. He is helping the coffin and returning home, so there is no need to ask for this boring.

What's more, this kind of human relationship is like old wine. The longer the time, the more mellow the wine becomes. I am already a scholar. However, for at least ten years, the Japanese invasion in the southeast will be too risky to do business, so I still have to go on a career in the officialdom. If you want to use this kind of human relationship, you have to use it at a critical moment.

The most important thing is that Qian Yuan did not stop Manager Ma from inquiring... The Sun family in Yuyao, Shaoxing, has a great show of appearance and lives in Shuiyi. It is said that this family is famous all over the world for filial piety. Qian Yuan, who has been very interested in history since childhood, has vaguely guessed the origin of this family.

Three days later, Qian Yuan finally arrived in Hangzhou. The boat sailed to the end of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou before stopping. The Qian family's shop selling cotton cloth was not far from the east end of Gongchen Bridge.

After going into the shop and looking at it, Qian Yuan was very satisfied. He entered the shop twice, with a store in front and a living room at the back. The place is quite small, and there is also a large yard.

"The list of five guys, the family's address is here." Before I could even drink tea, Qian Yuan handed a piece of paper to Manager Ma, "The money I brought this time is yours, each family has 20 taels of silver."

"It's such a big deal..." Manager Ma took the paper and hesitated and asked: "Where is the shop? Before the lady came, she told me that it would be better to transfer it out. Young Master Yuan must be filial and study."

Qian Yuan waved his hand, "I will deal with the shop. You just need to distribute the pension. In the other ten days, the shop will reopen and you will take care of it."

Before going to Hangzhou, Manager Ma asked Mrs. Lu to take Qian Yuan back to Songjiang as soon as possible, but what he saw and heard along the way no longer dared to regard Young Master Yuan as an ordinary young man. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped talking.

Qian Yuan no longer paid attention to Manager Ma and called Zhang San and others to go straight to the backyard.

What do you want to do?

Of course it's making money.

A modern person can lack anything, but he cannot lack money. In the past six months, his empty pockets have always made Qian Yuan feel like he is in danger of peace.

What's more, he was the only one male in the family for three years, and there were a lot of land, but most of them were planted with cotton, and some mulberry gardens. However, the Japanese invasion in the southeast were cut off, and the sales of cotton and silk would be greatly affected.

My father and brother died in other places, with a large amount of silver and goods lost, and more than a dozen friends were buried together. If it weren't for the private support of my uncle, the Qian family would not be far from the bankrupt family this time.

Moreover, Qian Yuan knew very well that Songjiang would become a severely affected area in the next Japanese riot in the southeast. Taozhai Town, a famous commercial town in Songjiang Prefecture, has now been transformed into ashes in the Japanese riots.

Therefore, Qian Yuan came to Hangzhou this time with three things: one is to make money, the second is to try to find out the reason for the death of his father and brother, and the third is to prepare to move.

Now that the imperial court has not yet broken up with Wang Zhi, it is possible to make money. Once broken up, there will be almost no safe place in the southeast coast, but at least the inner city of Hangzhou is safe. Qian Yuan does not remember that there was a record of Hangzhou City being captured by Japanese pirates in history.

How to make money?

This problem is not difficult for a time traveler with fame and fortune. The difficulty is how to sell it, so the shop cannot be dealt with for the time being. Qian Yuan also tried to use this shop to attract those who are interested.

However, before Qian Yuan could start to take action, uninvited guests came uninvited that afternoon.

"This is Young Master Yuan, and the head of the case for the Songjiang Prefecture Court last year." Manager Ma introduced: "This is Boss Jin Hongjin. He had been in a relationship with the uncle more than ten years ago. He also sent a boat to Huating to report the death in person after more than ten days of hardship."

Qian Yuan stammered his lips a few times, but he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and he looked like he was not good at socializing and talking.

Jin Honggong bowed his hands and looked sad and sad. He had been with the Qian family for more than ten years. Not only did he have a personal relationship with Qian Yuan's father, but the two families also had business dealings.

Boss Jin waved his hand and asked the servants behind him to come in to help clean the yard, and asked his entourage to go out to buy bedding and other daily necessities.

The backyard was bustling, and Manager Ma and Qian Yuan accompanied the guests to have tea in the front hall. Boss Jin occasionally said "Kill the Japanese pirates who kill thousands of swords", which made Qian Yuan tremble from time to time.

Manager Ma helped to open the topic and glanced at Qian Yuan who was pretending to behave from the corner of his eyes. He really didn't dare to underestimate this person now. He just received the news that just five days ago, a small group of Japanese pirates went ashore from Haiyan County to Tonglu, Jiaxing, killing more than a hundred officers, soldiers and people. If they hadn't changed to Wusong River, they might have happened to be able to run into it.

After cleaning up the backyard, Boss Jin ordered someone to buy bedding and other daily necessities, and then took the people away.

Manager Ma was still feeling that there were still many good people in the world, but Qian Yuan was thinking in his heart with a gloomy face, how could there be so many good people in the world?

"Stop it for the time being." Qian Yuan walked a few steps in the yard and ordered: "Li Si, please keep people, Zhang San, please disperse people to see if anyone is following them at night."

...

It has been half a year since I came to this era, but Qian Yuan still cannot adapt to some aspects, such as diet, work and rest time.

The Qian family in Huating is considered a scholarly family in Songjiang Prefecture. Whether it is the legitimate branch or the other branch, they take fame first, and they have no choice but to go other ways. Qian Yuan is a famous young talented man of the Qian family in this generation. The most praised thing is that he gets up early every day to study hard regardless of wind or rain or cold winter.

But when it comes to Qian Yuan now, it is simply killing him. At four o'clock, it is really not called early morning, it is called late night... In his previous life, he might not have gone to bed at two or three o'clock, and he is still enjoying a colorful nightlife!

So when Zhang San pushed the door and walked into the temporarily sorted study, he saw Qian Yuan waiting for news without surprise.

"There is a reward." Zhang San nodded, "A secret whistle, I'll tell them not to do anything."

"Well, where is it? If you can't follow, don't follow it. Don't be discovered. It's just that you are far from it."

"No need to follow." The dark Zhang Sanyi grinned, "I saw it in the afternoon. Look, the lamp oil in this lamp was sent by him, so I'm quite polite."

Qian Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he and his group arrived at noon. Boss Jin came to the door less than an hour later. It seemed that he had been sending people to stare at it. This is a snake that could get out of the hole without any need to be drawn.

After thinking about it in his mind, Qian Yuan had listed this boss Jin as the most questionable goal. The most important point is that as an elder who cared for his younger generation, he did not ask Qian Yuan's purpose and reason for this trip to Hangzhou today.

"There are eight people here this time, divided into two groups. You and Li Si take turns to stay at night. In addition to the secret whistle, see if there are anyone else staring at me."
