After walking out of the door, Mei Xiaofei looked at Jiang Wan with admiration. This kind of unreasonable domineering attitude appeared in an adult who had always been gentle and gentle. It was so breathtaking. He hiccupped for a long time, thinking
I want to say something, but the children of the villagers have no ink in their stomachs. In the end, they just took a long breath of regret - the adults are very powerful anyway!
Li Zicheng, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Wan with a look of astonishment. He felt that it was only natural that his lord should be rude to several merchants. He had seen even more unreasonable things than this. However, did he seem to have forgotten?
Said something.
"Sir, if we don't tell them our origins or where to find us, what will they do if they really want to find us?"
Jiang Wan's figure froze slightly, and turned around expressionlessly: "Such a big fan, if you can't even find out where I stayed, then if a shop like this is destroyed, it will be destroyed. It doesn't matter."
!”
The group of them walked away in a hurry, but Fan Chun, who was behind them, kept a gloomy expression. Just as Jiang Wan said, the other party did not explain his origin, so Fan Ji's guy naturally came up quietly. Someone came.
Looking for trouble and not even knowing their origins, Fan Ji has not yet reached this level of incompetence.
He walked back to the counter. At this moment, another customer came in, but at this moment, he had no intention of greeting the customers. When the waiter sent the people away, he was still in a daze.
"Shopkeeper, would you like to close the shop temporarily and take a break?" the waiter asked cautiously.
"Why are you resting? Keep the door open!" Fan Chun raised his eyelids: "Let's wait until Xiaojiu comes back. We can't mess up our own position!"
Xiaojiu was the clerk who had just followed that group of people out. Half an hour later, he returned to the grain store and brought the news he had found out.
"That group of people came from Shaanxi and settled in Tongfa Inn. I asked the people at the inn about it. There were more than a dozen of them and they built a yard behind the inn. They didn't look like they were short of money..."
"That's it?" Fan Chun shook his head: "This person has a Beijing accent, not a hint of Shaanxi dialect!"
"I haven't finished talking about the shopkeeper yet!" Xiao Jiu continued: "The leader's name is Jiang Wan. Anyway, the road guide to the inn says so. He is indeed from Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. Some people around him also say that he is from Shaanxi Province.
I have confirmed this. The only thing that is a little strange is that most of them are carrying weapons. The government official went to check on them when they settled down. However, it seems that after asking a few words, nothing was done.
He just left without embarrassing them!"
"Either you have a background, or you are giving money to the people in the government office!" Fan Chun nodded: "However, most of those who dare to come to take advantage of me, Fan Ji, probably have a background. Over there in Shaanxi, here in Shaanxi
There is no business on the side, what do these people want to do?"
"Should we notify the head office?" Xiaojiu asked his shopkeeper.
"You want the head of the family to go out to catch people?" Fan Chun glared at Xiaojiu: "They said you are smart and can stand alone after two years of experience. If you continue like this, you will never even think about it in your life.
I’m in charge of a branch!”
"Shopkeeper, please give your orders!" Xiao Jiu blushed slightly: "Anyway, our Fan Ji is not so easy to bully!"
"Let's try the quality of these people first!" Fan Chun snorted slightly: "Aren't they all armed with weapons as guards? With my post, you go to the Qingjundao Yamen and tell the story about this group of people.
, tell Master Qing Jundao, after taking so many benefits from our Fan family, it is not too much to let Master Qing Jundao handle such a small matter!"
"Understood!" Xiaojiu nodded, "I'll go right away!"
In the backyard of Tongfa Inn, Jiang Wan, who had returned from the street, was thinking about her own affairs in the backyard of the inn she had booked.
Fan Yongdou was the first of the "Eight Imperial Merchants" in Shanxi that he knew. He may not remember the other so-called imperial merchants in Shanxi clearly. However, after Fan Yongdou defected to the Manchus, the Manchus almost completely closed the trade with Russia.
All of them were rewarded to him. Jiang Wan remembered this very deeply.
How much contribution an ordinary businessman had to make to the Qing Dynasty. Only after the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains did he receive such a heavy reward. It is easy to imagine what Fan Yongdou did.
The foundation of the Fan family is mainly in Zhangjiakou, but there will definitely be a branch of the Fan family in Taiyuan, the capital city. In particular, all the business done by Fan Yongdou has to deal with the government. It can be said that, except for the Fan family's head office in Zhangjiakou,
, the importance of the semicolon of the Fan family in Taiyuan Fucheng is definitely ranked first.
In other words, if Jiang Wan did something in the semicolon in Taiyuan Mansion, Fan Yongdou would theoretically know very quickly that Jiang Wan's main purpose was to hook the other party. However, if the other party really felt that he was too big to lose,
He doesn't mind really embarrassing the other person.
As for the collusion between Fan Ji and the local government, and what kind of interests there are, this is not something Jiang Wan has considered at all.
"Sir!" Mei Xiaofei hurriedly walked in at the door: "People from the Qingjundao Yamen of Taiyuan Prefecture came over and said they wanted to capture the deserters?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Wan frowned.
"They think we are harboring fugitives!" Mei Xiaofei blinked and said, "Li Zicheng is confronting them, but now it seems that the other party is planning to use Li Zicheng as a fugitive!"
Jiang Wan burst into laughter. Although Li Zicheng was granted the title of Hundred Households by him, he did not have any status cards or status at the moment. These people from the Qing military yamen insisted that he was a deserter, which really made Li Zicheng unable to defend himself.
"Spend some money to send them away!" Jiang Wan shook her head: "Same as the police officers who came from the government last time, we will not deal with the government offices in these places!"
"I tried it!" Mei Xiaofei shook his head: "I stuffed two taels of silver into it, but the other party didn't want it. Isn't it too little?"
"This appetite is a bit big!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Just add more, buy a clean one..."
He suddenly thought of something: "No, these Qing Jundao people were not found by themselves, they were found by Fan Ji..."
He nodded with sudden realization: "It seems that Fan Ji is really quite powerful in Taiyuan Mansion. We have only been back for a short time, and people who are looking for trouble immediately came over. Are they here to find out our details?"
?”
Mei Xiaofei looked at him, waiting for his instructions.
"Don't reveal your identity, just act according to your identity on the road we drove out of Yan'an Mansion. I am a businessman from the capital, and you are all my guards..." Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "Let's take a look.
Look, what do they want to do?"
"Understood!" Mei Xiaofei nodded. He was not afraid of these officials at all. He wanted to hide his identity and tease these officials. He thought this should be very interesting: "Do you want to find out all their backers?
?”
"That's right!" Jiang Wan waved her hand: "Go out and have a look!"
