super concubine

Chapter 504

Liang Zheng's face darkened, it was obvious that the other party had bad intentions.

The long leather whip was whipped on his body, it must have been very painful.But Liang Zheng naturally wouldn't stand obediently in front of the bed and get beaten.

Two whips were thrown over, but Liang Zheng dodged them.

"Stinky boy, do you still dare to hide?" Gao Xiu's face turned cold, and then he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight in person!
"Yawn..." A lazy voice came from outside the door, but it was Zeng Laoqi who came to Liang Zheng with his trousers in his hands. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Xiu leading a man with a whip in his hand.

But when Gao Xiu and his subordinates saw that Zeng Lao Qi, who always cared about everything, appeared in front of Liang Zheng's house at this time, they all stopped, and then Gao Xiu came to Zeng Lao Qi, and said with a smile: "Qi Ye ,morning!"

After all, Zeng Lao Qi is a member of the Zeng family, and his status is a generation higher than Gao Xiu's, and this old man Zeng is very face-saving, Gao Xiu naturally has to respect Zeng Lao Qi!
"It's getting late!" Zeng Laoqi didn't give Gao Xiu a good face, but he didn't mention the matter of stealing the wine yesterday, and he didn't even question Gao Xiu.Because Zeng Laoqi, Qiao Guaizi, and Liang Zheng discussed it yesterday, and we will find opportunities to deal with Gao Xiu in the future, but we can't startle the snake now.

Zeng Laoqi felt that Liang Zheng's words made sense, and Qiao Guaizi also agreed, so he didn't go to Gao Xiu to question him.Of course, Gao Xiu respected Zeng Laoqi on the surface, but secretly he didn't take Zeng Laoqi seriously at all, which was also true.

Because of Zeng Laoqi's status, Gao Xiu respected him face to face. This was because Gao Xiu respected the Zeng family. To put it bluntly, it was because Zeng Laoqi was a relative of Zeng Quan's clan!

"What are you doing?" Zeng Laoqi pointed to the two martial artists holding whips and asked.

Gao Xiu said with a smile: "Master Qi, this kid is lazy to sleep on his first day at work, and I am teaching my subordinates a lesson!"

"A lesson?" Zeng Laoqi's expression changed, and he asked, "When will Lao Qiao and I need a lesson from you, Senior Foreman?"

"What?" Gao Xiu's eyes widened. Isn't this kid the young master ordered to take special care of him?Why did he become Qi Ye and Qiao Guaizi's people now?
Gao Xiu and the three looked at each other. They managed the coolies in the saltworks together for a long time, so naturally there was a certain tacit understanding.Of course, Zeng Qi is the young master, and everyone should listen to what Zeng Qi said. In the past, the young master often sent people to the salt field, and he also ordered 'special care', but these people had no enmity with the Zeng family. If he wanted to punish someone or fell in love with a daughter-in-law, he would arrest the man and force the wife to come to his house for Zeng Qiu's pleasure.

So in Gao Xiu's eyes, Liang Zheng was probably sent in by Zeng Qi because of this kind of thing, so he planned to bring someone to punish Liang Zheng.

But what Zeng Lao Qi said made Gao Xiu and the others dumbfounded.

Zeng Laoqi said: "This boy Liang is the helper that the young master found for us. He is the guy who helps Old Qiao manage the account. You said that this is not from me and Old Qiao... Could it be from yours?"

"The accountant that the young master found?"

Gao Xiu was taken aback by Zeng Laoqi's words, did he hear it wrong?What the guards around the young master really said was to allow themselves to take care of this kid, not the previous 'special care'?
"That's right!" Zeng Laoqi came to Liang Zheng's side, and said, "Boy Liang, go to Master Qiao's place to work quickly, be careful of being lazy on the first day, Master Qiao spanks your boy's ass!"

Liang Zheng's face was flushed red. Where had he ever been bullied like this since he was a child?But Liang Zheng also knew that old man Zeng was defending himself, so he didn't get angry, but nodded obediently, and followed Zeng Laoqi out of the house.

"Foreman, what should we do?" The two martial artists asked after Liang Zheng and Zeng Laoqi left.

Gao Xiu said: "What else can I do? Didn't you hear what Zeng Lao Qi said? We made a mistake, forget it, let's start work..."

Just like that...Liang Xiaohei managed to get past the eyes and ears of the Zeng family in the saltworks, and he lived a pretty good life under the shelter of Zeng Laoqi and Qiao Guaizi!

On the other side, after Xiu Zhiming found Qian Jiwen, he had a face-to-face conversation with Qian Jiwen in the room.

Later Qian Jiwen followed Xiu Zhiming to find Xiao Mo. At that time Xiao Mo was accompanying several wives and two princesses. After waiting for a while, Xiao Mo led them into the study.

As soon as Qian Jiwen entered the room, he asked Xiao Mo: "Your Excellency, do you want to check for private salt?"

Xiao Mo nodded, and then looked at Qian Jiwen's reaction.

Qian Jiwen frowned, and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to find out this private salt, especially in Hangzhou, where it can be said that it has been banned repeatedly. The main reason is that the root cause cannot be removed..."

Xiao Mo was quite satisfied with Qian Jiwen's reaction, it seemed that the Qian family had nothing to do with private salt.So Xiao Mo said with a smile: "From Brother Qian's point of view, it is the root cause that is difficult to treat. But from Xiao Mo's point of view, it is the Salt Gang that is difficult to deal with..."

"The Salt Gang..." Qian Jiwen sneered, and said, "The Salt Gang is really weird to laymen, they appear and disappear like ghosts, but in the eyes of us insiders, especially the local businessmen in Zhejiang, these people are actually nothing. It's amazing, but it's just the collusion between the officials and bandits... As long as you can get rid of the root cause of this illegal salt, this salt gang... is worth nothing at all!"

Xiao Mo frowned when he heard the words, and said to Qian Jiwen: "Ming people don't speak dark words, Brother Qian... Hehe, is there any trouble between your Qian family and Zeng family?"

Qian Jiwen said: "It didn't happen before, but my lord, don't forget what happened last night."

What Qian Jiwen meant was that when he faced Zeng Qiu last night, he stood with Xiao Mo and Xiu. That is to say, the Qian family used to be careful in Hangzhou and did not offend Zeng Quan, but last night But he offended Zeng Quan's son, Zeng Qi!

This is what Qian Jiwen expressed himself and the Qian family's intentions in front of Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "Brother Qian, there is an old saying that 'return to others' and 'treat people with integrity'. Brother Qian must have a good idea of ​​how I treat the Qian family. This is what Xiao Mo hopes for, so don't worry, Brother Qian, just speak up if you have something to say!"

Promising the future to Qian Jiwen first, and then asking Qian Jiwen to speak frankly, this move obviously has a very good effect on Qian Jiwen.

Qian Jiwen then said: "Your Excellency is right, it's Qian who is over-hearted. If Your Excellency really wants to deal with smuggling, I'm afraid there will be a lot of scope and people to do it! There are too many people involved in smuggling, and the scope is too small. It’s very wide, but the main root is still in Jiangsu and Zhejiang’s ‘two forces and one harm’!”
