Huh?

Xu looked up at the two of them unexpectedly, but he didn't know why these two people wanted to settle things.

It would be absolutely impossible to say that they were interested in Lin Junran. Not to mention that they most wanted to curb Lin Junran, and Yang Dashi's son Yang Kuan was sentenced to death by Lin Junran, who was then the prefect of Shuntian, the two of them were accused of the two.

A irreconcilable hatred was settled.

But these two people tended to Lin Junran and took the initiative to stand up and "dissuade the fight".

"Harmony? What kind of harmony can we have with him?" He Dongxu and Lin Xu had already broken up openly and immediately said with great disdain.

Li Yu looked down on these two big salt merchants from the bottom of his heart, and said lightly: "At a young age, he will inevitably be more arrogant! This is obviously a case with a mountain of ironclad evidence, but he took it without knowing it.

It was clear that he was bored, so we should use it more!”

"Mr. Li, I'm so proud!" He Dongxu saw Li Yu pushing him so much, and he gave him a thumbs up and said in his heart.

Fan Qianshan and Yang Dashi exchanged their eyes, but in the end they remained silent.

Although they are representatives of Yangzhou's big salt merchants and Shanxi merchants, and there is support from the Yang family behind them, their status is lower after all, and they will inevitably be underestimated by these two Yangzhou officials.

As the two bigwigs reached a tacit understanding and Xu Yu was in a posture of sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, the matter was officially decided. They planned to do some work in this case with a strong evidence, which made Lin Weiran "infuriated".

”.

As night falls, lights lit up in Yangzhou City, presenting a rare prosperous scene in this era.

Yangzhou gathered wealthy salt merchants and countless literati and poets, but they jointly promoted the development of the entertainment industry and made the business of brothels in Yangzhou always boom.

Therefore, there is a poem that says: Thousands of lights shine on the blue clouds in the night market, and the tall buildings are full of red sleeves.

The charm of Jiangnan lies in the water, and the gathering place of brothels is on the banks of the little Qinhuai River in the old city, but there are many brothels that are enthusiastically attracting guests. On the long river surface, the flowers are spacious, and the light walls are sometimes light.

Dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo came.

Mingchun Tower is one of the four famous buildings in Yangzhou, and sometimes a courtesan will be trained.

It faces a wide street and is backed by the Little Qinhuai River. It not only has four-story high-rise buildings, but also a courtyard behind it. The scale alone is worthy of the name of the four brothels.

"The two young men are so nervous. I wonder if there is a girl they know?" The madam, dressed in a gorgeous manner, asked enthusiastically at the steps at the door.

"I am a juren from Guangdong to Beijing. I heard from a friend that Miss Chen Xiaoxiao is unparalleled in piano skills! I am passing by Yangzhou now. I want to hear it very quickly. I wonder if Miss Xiaoxiao has time?" Meng Zhao looked like a juren dressed in a juren.

A bit arrogant and authentic.

Lin Weiran was dressed in a young master's outfit, but stood by the side silently, while looking at the environment here. He was used to handing over the matter to himself, a smart student, and he was like an outsider.

When the madam heard this, her enthusiastic smile turned awkward and said with a reluctant smile: "This juren, if you want to listen to the piano, I, Miss Zhao Yi from the next Chunlou, have been better than that.

Even better, his appearance is the best choice!”

"If Miss Chen Xiaoxiao is inconvenient today, I will come back another day!" Meng Zhao's face turned slightly cold, and he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

The madam saw the mature duck that was about to fly, but hurriedly explained: "This juren is not that Miss Xiaoxiao has no time, but that I am afraid that you will be buryed by you when I say it!"

"Unfortunate? Could it be that something unexpected happened?" Meng Zhao stopped and asked the truth.

The madam looked at the left and right and lowered her voice, "Oh... Since ancient times, her beauty has been so poor! Xiaoxiao was killed by her lover. The Yangzhou Yamen has settled a case a few days ago. The murderer has now been locked in the death jail of the government office.

.”

"Ah? Then she has relatives?" Meng Zhao's face showed disappointment and asked seriously.

When the madam heard that Meng Zhao had to continue inquiring about Chen Xiaoxiao's situation, she asked vigilantly: "What do you mean by this juren?"

"Hey! I'm going to tell you, my friend admires Miss Xiaoxiao very much, and he doesn't want to eat and drink when he returns to Guangzhou! Before going to Beijing, I was instructed by my friend to hand over these silver and letters to Miss Xiaoxiao!"

Meng Zhao stretched out his hand and wrote a letter in his arms, and said honestly.

The madam let go of her guard and said with a clever inspiration: "I'm a pity for the infatuated man in the world! Miss Xiaoxiao was an orphan when she was young. I adopted her and I helped her to bury her. Now... she is the only one who left me, my mother.

.”

At the end, she wiped the handkerchief into her eyes. However, she didn't know whether it was because of her deep affection or her shame, so she shed a few tears.

Meng Zhao sighed lightly and made a decision and said, "Since that's the case, please take me to Miss Xiaoxiao's boudoir and ask me to take a belonging to my friend, okay?"

"This..." The madam seemed very hesitant when she heard this request.

Meng Zhao mentioned the bag of silver and said seriously: "Since you are the only relative of Miss Xiaoxiao, you will hand over this bag of silver to you, but please let me go to her boudoir to get a relic so that I can give my friends an explanation.

And thoughts!”

The madam looked at the bag of silver, but she felt a sense of unresistible greed, and said with a heart-standardization: "Okay, then that's what we say!"

Lin Xuran saw Meng Zhao get things done, so he gave Meng Zhao a complimentary look, and followed the madam upstairs together, intending to go to Chen Xiaoxiao's room to check.

Chen Xiaoxiao's case is actually not complicated. Her regular customer Zhang Wujin rebelled and drowned Chen Xiaoxiao in a bathtub. However, when he escaped, he saw his back, and the yamen then went to Zhang Wujin.

A large amount of stolen property was found in the home.

It is precisely based on this kind of evidence that the Yangzhou prefect He Dongxu ignored Zhang Wujin's injustice and sentenced him to death in accordance with the Ming Dynasty.

However, Lin Xuran learned from the information that the case was not simple, so he chose to overturn the case for Zhang Wujin, who was sentenced to death. First, it was to exonerate the innocent person, and second, it was to borrow it.

This punishes He Dongxu, the governor of Yangzhou.

Now that he wants to open up the situation in Yangzhou City, it is not enough to win over it alone, and he has to punish some hostile elements. In this way, he can completely control this Yangzhou and be able to rectify the salt administration as he wants, rather than be constrained everywhere.

"Brother Lin, we're meeting again!"
