Previously, Jiang Wan racked her brains and even sent Jin Yiwei to invite him over, and even detained him in Liaoyuan, not just to make friends with him. However, now it turned into him crying and asking for money to support the imperial court.
He shouted and refused to leave here.
Of course, the person Jiang Wan should be grateful to the most is Mao Yiqu.
The Buddha said that those who have a Buddha in their hearts will see everyone as a Buddha; but those who have a dirty mind will see everyone as a piece of shit.
Jiang Wan felt that he didn't bother to deal with this guy, and the situation in front of him made it almost difficult for him to raise money from the weaving yamen. Li Shi used his own thoughts to guess Jiang Wan, and felt that things would definitely not be that simple.
Therefore, the safest situation is for him to stay here and not go anywhere.
For Li Shi, the world is not as big as his own life and future.
Jiang Wan was too lazy to talk to him. As for whether he would shyly go to Zhou Shunchang to inquire about raising money, and whether Zhou Shunchang would talk to him, he was too lazy to ask for the time being. Anyway, he believed that Li Shi was smart enough, and he had just talked to him
If so, he should be able to figure out many things.
It was getting dark, and the crowd outside Liaoyuan slowly dispersed. Chen Wenrui also came back from near the city wall, bringing back some bad news.
Mao Yiqu and the soldiers and horses he led did not leave. Even some more soldiers and horses came from Suzhou, and they had already begun to camp outside the city. It seemed that he would never let this matter go.
And all the news from Suzhou to Wuxian was blocked by Mao Yizhu's troops. People in Wuxian County now have no idea of any news from the outside. In other words, Mao Yixuan has already captured Wu County.
The city is under siege.
It's just that until now, Mao Yiquan has not issued any orders to Chen Wenrui's county government, or even communicated with him. Judging from this situation, if he hadn't believed that the officials of Wu County government and Jiang Wan and others were colluding,
They are colluding together, that is, he is planning something, and he has no time to trouble Chen Wenrui for the time being.
Although the entire Wu County was "besieged" by the army, it was impossible to defend. In other words, the city gate of Wu County was actually just a decoration. If Mao Yiquan wanted to force his way in, it would not work at all.
"Master Jiang, if Master Mao comes again, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with it as easily as he did today!" Chen Wenrui said with a bitter face: "Okay, I said the wrong thing, and today is not easy either. But now that it's like this, next time
I really don’t know how to deal with it!”
"Can I count on Mr. Kou?" Jiang Wan pondered for a moment and then asked.
At this moment, he and Chen Wenrui were the only two people in the room. He didn't have too many scruples when speaking. In fact, by now, it was very clear which side Jiang Wan was on. Everyone was already in the same boat, so there was no need to worry.
.
"There has been no news about Lord Kou!" Chen Wenrui shook his head: "Even if Lord Kou can help, Mao Yikuan's gang members will still contain him in Suzhou Mansion!"
"In other words, we can only rely on ourselves!" Jiang Wan's face became serious: "I don't like to suffer immediate losses, but it seems that if I can't solve this problem, I will probably suffer the immediate losses.
Got it!"
"How about Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhou and the others, temporarily avoid the limelight of Mao Yifu!" Chen Wenrui said: "Although Wu County is not big, it is okay to hide some people. I will promote Mr. Jiang to Mao Yifu."
He and Mr. Zhou and others have left overnight. In this case, he has no reason to have an attack..."
"I won't hide!" Jiang Wan looked at Chen Wenrui with a half-smile but not a smile: "I have already been falsely accused of being a rebel. If I want to hide, wouldn't it confirm my identity as a rebel? It's okay.
It’s become troublesome!”
"This..." Chen Wenrui looked at Jiang Wan in embarrassment: "Then I have no other choice!"
"I won't hide. I didn't say Mr. Zhou and the others won't hide!" Jiang Wan looked at Chen Wenrui and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Even if I fall into Mao Yizhu's hands, what can he do to me, but Mr. Zhou and the others are different.
, that would put one’s life in danger!”
"Understood!" Chen Wenrui nodded: "I'll make arrangements right away!"
"Hide them well and open the city gate early tomorrow morning!" Jiang Wan said: "If we can't stop them anyway, then we won't stop them. You, the county magistrate, tell your people what will happen tomorrow."
No matter what, don't cause a scene like today. If Mao Yiquan really goes crazy, a lot of people will die. It's not worth it!"
"I'll try my best!" Chen Wenrui's face became serious, even with a hint of admiration: "It's your duty as a lower official, but there is absolutely no need for Mr. Jiang to take this risk. Mao Yiqun can't go crazy for a few days, and he has done something like this.
He has to account for the many troops and horses in Nanjing!"
"I'm fine!" Jiang Wan smiled faintly: "Do as I say and fulfill your responsibilities. I'm waiting to see how this furry bird goes crazy!"
The night passed quickly, and by the time dawn came, Liaoyuan was extremely quiet. Except for the people brought by Jiang Wan and a few servants of Liaoyuan, there were not many other people in Liaoyuan.
Li Shi was also dumbfounded.
He wandered around early in the morning and planned to look for Zhou Shunchang shamelessly, but after asking all the way, no one told him where Zhou Shunchang was today. After he basically walked around Liao Garden, he finally confirmed that this garden
Except for him and Jiang Wan, there was no one else here.
He felt a little panicked and came to Jiang Wan anxiously, but found that Jiang Wan didn't show any surprise at all.
"Don't ask me, I'm just a guest here, how do I know where the master is!" Jiang Wan laughed: "However, Eunuch Li, you don't have to worry about them where they are going!"
"I'm so worried about them!" At some point, "our family" in Li Shi's mouth also changed to "me!" This change was so natural that he didn't even notice it himself.
"I originally planned to inquire about how they raised money, but they left Master Jiang and ran away so quietly. These people are so unloyal!" Li Shi glanced at his mouth and said, "Master Jiang is quite embarrassed.
Looking after them, what's the difference between running away from the battlefield!"
He even had some contempt: "I hate guys who run away from battle the most!"
"No need to ask!" Jiang Wan shook his head slightly: "One hundred thousand taels, you are weaving Yamen on the ground in Suzhou, if you can raise one hundred thousand taels, for this contribution, not only will I hand it to you in front of Eunuch Wei, I can even
I will hand it directly to His Majesty’s ears, and it will be heard in heaven!”
"Also, I don't ask where the money comes from, I only care about where it should be used, so you don't have to worry too much!" Jiang Wan said: "Otherwise, you are just a Suzhou weaver without batting an eye.
If you take out one hundred thousand taels, that is seeking death!"
