The Jiangsu Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy Yamen can be regarded as the richest of the many Yamen in Yangzhou. Naturally, there are not many people who know this place.
Wang Pan has never been to the transfer yamen, but the master of the outer hall next to him has been. With someone familiar with the family and the road leading the way, it naturally won't take too much time. With two small sedans and a few servants,
At ten o'clock in the evening, they appeared at the entrance of the Yamen. If you didn't know their origins, their clothes were similar to those of the businessmen who came to the Yamen to camp on weekdays.
Wang Pan is not very tall, and can even be said to be a little thin. Compared with Weng Zhenghe, the master of the court next to him, apart from being more energetic and having a glint in his eyes from time to time, his appearance is really good.
Not as good as Weng Zhenghe.
The sedan stopped, and Wang Yanyan and Wang Pan got out of the sedan. Wang Yanyan supported Wang Pan, which was a bit like a granddaughter helping a bad old man to enter the door. Someone was already waiting at the yamen gate, and they were ushered in.
As we approached the lobby, we could no longer enter as anyone else. At the door of the lobby, a middle-aged man wearing Confucian clothes stood there with a smile on his face, watching the arrival of Wang and his daughter.
"Gang Leader Wang, I have admired you for a long time!" The middle-aged man bowed his hands slightly: "This is your love, she is indeed brave, knowledgeable, handsome and talented. No wonder my useless son-in-law has always been obsessed with Miss Wang!"
"Master Sun, don't praise the child! This girl is very naughty!" Wang Pan replied with a smile, and followed Wang Pan in.
Does this Wang Pan have any heirs? He murmured in his heart. He didn't find out the news about Caobang. Does this Wang Pan have any heirs in Yangzhou? Why did a son-in-law suddenly appear? Could it be said that what happened today has nothing to do with this?
Does it have something to do with the son-in-law who appeared out of nowhere?
While talking some useless words to Sun Yuping and walking into the lobby, a series of thoughts flashed through Wang Pan's mind.
"No, even if someone falls in love with Yanyan and asks him to be a matchmaker, he will definitely not be his own son-in-law!" He shook his head and drove this ridiculous idea out of his mind. Before he came, he told Wang Yanyan
He also sent a post, and he thought that this matter might have something to do with him
The goddaughter has something to do with it. If it weren't for what Wang Yanyan did, then the most likely possibility is that someone asked Sun Yuping to be the matchmaker. Wang Yanyan has always been waiting for the bride. If there is a good marriage, he will definitely not stop it. However,
It's for sure that you have to look after your goddaughter.
In the middle of the lobby, a banquet table has already been prepared, and the dishes on the table are still steaming hot.
Several people came in, except for Sun Yuping, the Wang family and his daughter, but they all stopped in unison. At this moment, a person was feasting in front of the table - Sun Yuping was hosting a banquet. Before the host and guests arrived, the guests moved the chopsticks first. This was also
Isn’t that too inappropriate! Or is this Sun Yuping here specifically to humiliate their father and daughter today?
"Here it comes!" The man sitting in front of the table eating and drinking raised his head in the heat: "This Mrs. Song's fish soup, you can taste the deliciousness when it is hot. If it is cold, it will not taste as good.
!”
"Is it you?" Wang Yanyan saw the hot face and exclaimed, "Why are you here!"
Yanyan knew this person. Wang Pan was moved in his heart, but his face was calm. He looked at Wang Yanyan. Wang Yanyan understood and immediately whispered in his ear: "Wu Junhou!"
It's him! Wang Pan nodded secretly. The Jin Yiwei really had great powers, and even the transporter was willing to support him. However, today's banquet may not be a good one.
"Master Sun, this is your fault. You and I, my old friend, naturally don't have so much etiquette when I come to your door to harass you. However, Wu Qianhu is also here today. The old man came to the door empty-handed, but he lacked etiquette.
Got it!"
He chuckled, turned to Sun Yuping and said, "Speaking of which, Wu Qianhu still has some friendship with our Cao Gang!"
"Gang Leader Wang, it's not me, Sun, who invites you today. But as an elder, I have to help the juniors when they have been wronged!" Sun Yuping chuckled and said to the young man who spoke: "Xian son-in-law,
I have already invited this person for you, so I won’t keep you here talking about things, I’m going to see Yu Niang!”
"My father-in-law, please!" The young man stood up, smiled and cupped his hands, sending Sun Yuping away. Then, he sat down, tilted his head, and looked at the standing Wangs and his daughter.
"Sit down. Since I'm inviting you to a drink, we have to eat before we talk. Don't worry, there's no swordsman hidden behind my screen, and I won't just throw the cup for fun!" Qian Wubing smiled.
, pointing to the stool opposite him.
Wang Pan, who was not afraid of the dignified Jiangsu transit envoy, would certainly not be at a loss when facing a thousand households of Jinyi guards. In any case, although the other party came to attack the enemy, he was still quite friendly at the moment. Of course, he
It won't make the situation worse.
He cupped his hands and sat down, with Wang Yanyan standing behind him.
"Wu Qianhu was joking. The Jin Yiwei opponent is a commoner like Wang. There is no need to throw a cup as a sign. He directly sent Tiqi. Why didn't he just call the little old man over!" Although he said it humbly, Wang
There is not much humility in Pan's eyes. If the Qianhu across the street really think that they can control him like this, then they are really wrong.
"How can that be possible?" Qian Wubing laughed loudly: "I heard in Beijing that the one hundred thousand members of the Cao Gang are united in their efforts to take down their gang leader. At least I, the Jinyi Guards, must come out in full force to do so!"
"The Cao Gang is just a bunch of hard-working people gathering together. Wu Qianhu's words are serious!" Wang Pan shook his head: "It was because the little old man knew more people on this canal that everyone gave him this face.
, isn’t this gang leader just a joke in front of the officials?”
"Oh, how many people do you know?" Qian Wubing smiled even more: "However, I think Gang Leader Wang may have heard of me, but he definitely doesn't know me. By the way, I really want to know, what happened to Wang just now?"
The gang leader said that knowing that I am here, he would not be lacking in etiquette when he comes to his door. What does this etiquette mean?"
Sure enough, he went around and around, and finally got to the silver. Didn't he just want the Cao Gang to use the silver to block your mouth and prevent you from giving the money? Wang Pan smiled contemptuously in his heart and said: "Cao Gang
I can’t afford to do too much favors, but it must be in line with Wu Qianhu’s status!”
"Hourry!" Qian Wubing raised his thumb, "I have long heard that Gang Leader Wang is heroic and meticulous in his work. If I keep secret about today's matter, I will seem to look down on Gang Leader Wang. I will just
Come on, Miss Wang frightened me and my useless subordinates on the canal that day. I had twenty-seven subordinates at that time, and I rewarded each of them with a hundred taels of silver to calm the fright. Now Gang Leader Wang is here, and he takes action.
You can’t be stingier than me!”
"Sure!" Since the other party broke out and directly said the price, Wang Pang didn't show any pretense: "Wu Qianhu's subordinates are given five hundred taels of silver per person. In addition, for you Wu Qianhu, the Cao Gang will offer another twenty thousand.
Two taels of silver as an apology, let’s treat this matter as writing on the sand and erase it from now on! How about that?”
