Chapter 340 Let the old slave kowtow to the young master
Criticize him behind his back?
Xie Yuchuan glanced at him lightly and said, "Let's talk about business."
Han Qiguang naturally came to him to talk about business.
"Li Cai came to report early in the morning. Last night, someone from Beijing came to Wan Lichun and forced him to release the ship."
"The ship was released?" Xie Yuchuan took a sip of warmth Tea asked.
Han Qiguang: "Let it go, but Wan Lichun's monkey spirit released a fake boat."
Xie Yuchuan was puzzled: "Fake boat?"
" Well, it’s the kind of fake ship with the wrong version of the goods. When the downstream route was not opened, Wan Lichun also did this kind of thing. He even withheld the goods, which was just a loss of passing money, and it was not as painful as breaking the bones. "
Han Qiguang changed his posture, poured tea and said: "This matter is not a big secret in Qinglong Village. Everyone in the village has done it with Wan Lichun, and they have done it. Shipments are stable and problems rarely occur, so others are willing to use him.”
"I guess this batch of goods is unusual, so he is very cautious. Zhao Gong and the others are in the mountains, and their situation is not going well. The defense in the back mountain has been stronger in the past two days, and there are many strangers in Qinglong Village."
“From other hills?”
“Zhao Gong knows the characteristics of the bandit dens in Panlong Ridge to some extent, and the messages he sent don’t look very similar.”
Xie Yuchuan was silent After a while, "That's the one from outside."
Han Qiguang nodded, "I think it's almost the same."
After drinking two cups of tea, Han Qiguang always felt a bad taste in his mouth He looked up and asked Xie Yuchuan: "Tea alone is boring, how about some wine?"
Xie Yuchuan did not refuse.
He may not have drank for a long time, but when he entered the city, Han Qiguang had much freer hands and feet, and with Xiong Jiushan’s orders in front of him, he came to "watch for Xiong Jiushan" as "Taoist Priest Guanghan" "Exiling the guilty minister Xie Yuchuan is justifiable.
In the inn compound where the exiled team stayed in the city, from the shopkeeper to the waiters running around below, they were all Han Qiguang’s people.
To be more precise, it was the manpower that Xie Yuchuan temporarily "placed" with his good brother Han Qiguang.
As early as when the Xie family was in exile, Han Qiguang had already deployed manpower in several important "places". On the main routes in the Panlongling Mountains alone, Han Qiguang sown "seeds" of three routes.
At first, because the route in Yucheng was detoured and relatively remote, there were not many people to arrange it.
After the exile team took a temporary detour, Han Qiguang asked people to start concentrating manpower here.
Yucheng is neither big nor small, and it is difficult to mix with new faces. A few old people are guarding the inn here to do business, earning some "hard money" while busy, and passing on the information to Han Qiguang at any time. news.
The people who were called outside stayed outside to provide support. He and Xie Yuchuan did not leave for the whole day, and those people stayed outside to spy on the surrounding environment, so that the master could use his time and delay the official business.
If there is any situation outside the city, he will pretend to be a passing merchant, enter the city to buy goods, stay in the inn compound, exchange news inside and outside, and focus on a successful businessman, who is an iron-clad "Thanks to the family".
Therefore, when a familiar face of Xie Yuchuan came in to pay homage to him, carrying a hot wine pot, he looked a little surprised.
"You put him in Yucheng?!"
Xie Yuchuan stared at his people and couldn't help but glance at Han Qiguang.
The shopkeeper, who is over 40 years old and has a half-long beard, first placed the jug and wine glass on the table safely, then stood up and took three steps back, facing Xie Yuchuan respectfully, and knelt down with a thud In front of Xie Yuchuan, he kowtowed and said hello.
"Young General! I'm too late! Please punish me, Young General!"
Xie Yuchuan quickly got up and stepped forward to help others, "Uncle Gan, get up! You are my father's son. In terms of seniority, you are still me. "Elders, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly!" Gan Rong's eyes were red, young master, how could he not know better? He gently put his hand on Xie Yuchuan's wrist and stood up from the ground.
The old master and servant, meeting today, how could Xie Yuchuan not be moved in his heart.
"How have you been, Uncle Gan, these past few years?"
"Okay! You're doing well! Thank you, Young General, for thinking about this old slave. I have served my parents in the past few years since I returned home. My parents passed away this year. Afterwards, the old slave had nothing to worry about. He wanted to lick his face and go to the general to ask for a living, but he didn't want the generals to be in the northwest... Alas!" Gan Rong sighed, and he didn't know where to start from a thousand words.
Xie Yuchuan said: "Why don't you go to the government office? If I had given you the news earlier, my grandmother would have been able to make an arrangement for you, Uncle Gan, before anything happened to the Xie family."
Gan Rongyao He shook his head and said, "I'm not like others who have disabled hands and feet and are in pain and need time and effort to take care of me, so why bother? If the old general hadn't taken care of me back then, how could I have been a filial son? It's hard to have both loyalty and filial piety, so I delayed it. I have fulfilled my filial piety in front of my parents and have no regrets. I wanted to go to the northwest, but now I see that I, Gan Rong, am not blessed with this loyalty."
Gan Rong said sincerely: " Young General, now that this old slave has nowhere to go and has come to seek refuge with the young master, please don’t dislike me for being old and weak and useless!”
Xie Yuchuan said quickly: “Uncle Gan, where is this? ”
Gan Rong tried to prostrate himself again, but was supported by Xie Yuchuan.
“My family doesn’t have to be like this.” Xie Yuchuan stared at Gan Rong and nodded.
"Young master, please let me kowtow to you. This time, I should have kowtowed in front of my old master long ago." Gan Rong's voice was hoarse.
Han Qiguang said aside: "Yuchuan, let him have a wish."
Xie Yuchuan hesitated for a while and let go.
Dong dong dong——
Three times in a row.
Gan Rong knocked three times on his "faith" in front of Xie Yuchuan.
After getting up, the master and servant formally recognized each other. Only then did Xie Yuchuan know the reason why Han Qiguang put Gan Rong to stay in Yucheng.
After Gan Rong’s parents passed away, Zheng and his relatives in the village wanted to arrange a widow’s marriage for him, but he refused, saying that he had picked up his old life from the Xie family, and now his wish and body His responsibilities as a son of man were over, and he did not want to continue living in the village.
After selling off the house at a low price, he took a small amount of money and headed to the northwest. Before going, he originally planned to pass by the capital and go to the Duke's Mansion to pay a visit to Mrs. Xie and give some worthless local products from his hometown, but he didn't expect to leave. When he arrived at Yucheng, he contracted a serious disease and almost died.
He was also born with a great life, and happened to fall in front of the kind-hearted Lu Family Medical Clinic.
When Lu Hongwen came back from seeing a doctor, he encountered this problem and gave it to him.
I have been recovering from this illness for a long time. After I recover, I don’t want to owe Dr. Lu’s medical fees. I think that if I go, my life or death may be uncertain, and I don’t want to owe such a large sum before my death. of kindness.
So he stayed in Yucheng, helping the Lu Family Medical Center to collect herbs in the mountains and do work in the hospital.
Gan Rong sat down and sighed: "Thanks to Doctor Lu for saving me, otherwise I would not be able to see the Major General today."
Xie Yuchuan had a good impression of Doctor Lu, "It's the six Dr. Lu Hongwen, who is around ten years old?”
“It’s him! His medical skills are extraordinary, and what’s rare is that he also has high medical ethics.” Gan Rong spoke highly of Lu Hongwen, his lifesaver.
Xie Yuchuan nodded, "This person is indeed good."
