Chapter 614 Looking for a breakthrough
Fang Xing led the army, leaving Yangzhou Prefecture waiting for his actions. According to everyone's ideas, Fang Xing had to at least have to use a few heads to establish his authority, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the luxurious salt merchants.
But Fang Xing was sleeping, and the entire station seemed deserted. If it weren't for the two soldiers standing at the gate, everyone would have thought the mansion was empty.
Yuan Ren came out of Miao Chengfu's house, got into the car with a blank expression, and shouted, "Hurry up, go home."
When he got home, Yuan Ren called the guards, "Does Xinghe Bo have any action?"
The guard shook his head: "Master, no, there is a thousand-household house in the city, and the other one is outside the city."
Yuan Ren leaned back and looked at the roof in a steady state.
He had a quarrel with those people just now, so he had to make plans early, otherwise he would be cannon fodder if both sides won and lost.
A gust of wind blew in, Yuan Ren shivered. He sat upright and said with a dull look: "Go, let your wife clean up, we're going home."
The guard was stunned and thought to himself that he wasn't home here?
Yuan Ren waved his hand: "She will know naturally when someone passes a message to his wife."
After the guard left, a young woman lifted the curtain from behind and walked lightly behind Yuan Ren.
A pair of jade hands gently massaged Yuan Ren's temples. He sighed comfortably: "Xiaolian! Are you willing to follow the master back to the countryside?"
Xiaolian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, lord, I must be willing."
Yuan Ren felt anxious when he remembered that those people were still at Miao Chengfu's house and didn't know what methods they were discussing, so he felt anxious and wanted to return to his hometown immediately, no longer contact with salt, and pass his life honestly.
"Human hearts are sinister..." Yuan Ren felt exhausted physically and mentally, and was about to take a look...
"Master, why do you want to go back?"
A middle-aged woman with a bloated figure entered the room surrounded by a group of maids and mothers. When she saw Xiaolian, she said angrily: "Little bitch! Get out!"
Before Xiaolian came out, Yingying knelt down and cried, "Madam, I'm just a naughty concubine..."
“Woo…”
Xiaolian still had tears on her face, but she reacted very quickly and turned her head, rubbing her ears and flew towards the golden bracelet thrown by her face.
"Ouch!"
Yuan Ren rubbed his knees and said annoyedly: "Madam, please calm down. When I die one day, you will do whatever you want!"
The woman snorted coldly, and did not apologize. She just asked with her neck in her neck, "Master, why do you have to go back to your hometown? Where is it? You have to take a carriage for half an hour to go back to the county town. What's the matter?"
Yuan Ren rubbed his knees and looked around and said, "Xiao Lian avoided it first, I have something to say with my wife."
After everyone left, Yuan Rencai said: "The Salt Administration is no longer a matter. Miao Chengfu and Hu Erwen are not giving up. I think the ending will be confiscated sooner or later, so I plan to give up half of the property for my husband and ask for peace for the whole family."
Logically, Yuan Ren should be the one who is in charge of the Yuan family, but when he finished speaking, the middle-aged woman spat and cursed: "You plague god, that's half of your property. Are you a nightmare? Everyone else is fine, but you are troublesome! So what if Xing and Boss come? Can he still avoid the plot of Miao Chengfu and Hu Erwen?"
Yuan Ren wiped the spit on his face and smiled bitterly: "Madam, Xing and Bob came to Yangzhou Prefecture twice, but no time did they have a rush to the crowd!"
His wife was even more angry and shouted, "When will this person not eat salt when he is born? As long as you hug him, will he dare to arrest them all? That mother still admires him and is willing to exile!"
Yuan Ren wanted to say something else, but his wife glared at her eyes and shouted: "Do your business with peace of mind and follow them in everything!"
...
Fang Xing slept before dinner. He felt bitter in his mouth and weak in his body, so he went to take a shower.
When he came out again, Xiaodao had already returned.
"Master, the Yuan Ren family lives in a big mansion in the east of the city. The young man accompanied the Yuan family to gambling money and clichés. He has more than 60 servants in his family, all with swords and guns."
Fang Xing wiped his hair irritably, "Where will Yuan Ren be tonight?"
"At the beginning, the salt merchants gathered at Miao Chengfu's home to discuss matters. Yuan Ren came out half an hour early and is still at home."
Xiaodao just needs Fang Xing not to stare at him in practicing calligraphy, so he is diligent in helping Fang Xing wipe his hair.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
Fang Xingke didn't want the man to wipe his hair, so he asked casually: "How is the situation at his home?"
Xiaodao's face was a little strange, "Master, Yuan Ren's wife, Zhou, is a shrew. Before his father-in-law returned to his hometown, he worked as a professor in the Imperial College. He had many students back then and had good connections, so Yuan Ren did not dare to provoke Zhou."
"interesting!"
Fang Xing felt a little stuffy and simply stopped wiping it. He put the towel on the table and ordered: "I'll keep an eye on it, and let Lao Qi and Fang Wu come."
After Xin Laoqi and Fang Wu arrived, Fang Xing was drinking tea and scolding the strange weather.
"Why did it suddenly become hot this day? I feel like snow in June, there must be an injustice!"
Xin Laoqi said dryly: "Master, why don't you send someone down to visit?"
After drinking a cup of tea, Fang Xing felt better and said, "Tonight, two hundred households, Fang Wu, you will choose one, and let's go to visit that Yuan Ren."
Lin Qun'an took a thousand households outside the city and stared at him, so Fang Xing handed over the matter to Xin Laoqi.
As for the fact that the servants were in charge of the army, Fang Xing simply regarded it as a whisper.
If Xin Laoqi was willing to quit his post, he would have to be more than a thousand households based on his contributions.
"Master, do you want to fight?"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It's not clear, but you're prepared for any accidents. More than 60 people and two hundred households are enough."
"Shen Hao, arrange for people to patrol the streets immediately and spread them all out. I want the people to get used to it when they see the army."
"Xiaodao, I'll leave a small flag here tonight. You can practice calligraphy by yourself. When I come back, I'll check it out."
Xiaodao wanted to beg for mercy with a bitter face, but Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "Get out, I'm going to have a meal."
Dinner was noodles. After Fang Xing refused Xiao Zhen's kindness to send the chef over, he changed the staple food to noodles.
The soup is broth, and the toppings are meat picked from the bones, and the end is a spoonful of chili oil. It looks delicious when red.
After eating the noodles, I woke up and felt sweaty and was greatly refreshed.
After a hundred steps, you will live to ninety-nine.
Fang Xing was walking in front of the house, Xiaodao carried a stick and ran over while gnawing, saying, "Master, Yuan Ren is out."
"Continue to stare."
Yuan Ren came out of his house angrily, and after getting on the carriage, the carriage left immediately.
The scouts following behind stared at the carriage alternately, but after the carriage circled around, they found that they had actually come back, but they were behind the Yuan family.
A wall blocked the sight from both sides, and Yuan Ren changed his body after getting off the car.
"Cui Niang, I'm here."
A woman came out with a smile and welcomed Yuan Ren in, and the gate of the courtyard was immediately closed.
When the news came to wake up, he also praised him: "This person is well versed in the key points of darkness under the lamp, and talent!"
He had a fierce wife at home, but he actually kept the outer room next door, so he could only describe it as bold and careful.
