After returning to Hangzhou, Cai Jing conveniently sent the four teenagers directly to the boat.
In the next few days, Ling Qingyu obediently did not go out, and asked Cai Jingfang for the training of five ephedra, angelica, kudzu, myrrh, and mugwort leaves, and prepared to take them on board to train them as boat masters. After all the goods on the Fengshen were loaded, they boarded the ship and left. .
Although Mo Liu's mission was not received inside the red building, there is no guarantee that Xie's family will not come to the red building again seeing that she is still alive. Yan San was actually a little anxious in his heart. For a character like Mo Liu, ten of them would be a piece of cake for him, but if he dispatched the Tian and Di characters, it would be really difficult to deal with. , the Xie family would not notice and place an order directly with the Red Chamber.
"Hey, Yan San," Ling Qingyu pointed at Yan San, and said, "Ying Shisan said that Xie Tingxuan knew Mo Liu, so he went to Mo Liu directly, does it mean that he hasn't actually looked for the Red Chamber yet? Then let's make an order to the Red Chamber, is it okay to kill Xie Tingxuan?"
Yan San was taken aback, then turned to look at her, Ling Qingyu frowned, and said: "I asked Xiaocai, then Xie Tingxuan and Xie's lineage are not very compatible, so I thought of Quanzhou to develop on my own, but it turned out to be unlucky, first encountered a catastrophe , the ship that came out later was probably robbed by pirates, so he couldn't hold his head up with the direct descendants. He moved his mind to kill Xiaocai and me, and I can understand it. I think, if it was his own idea to kill us, then The direct descendants of the Xie family may not know, so it is better for us to act first."
Looking at Yan San's worried eyes, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "I also know that if the Xie family finds out that we placed this order, it would be direct hostility, but, in fact, aren't we directly hostile now? I have After Lingjia Village and the Mint, the control of the Southeast Asian market is inevitable, and it is equivalent to directly confronting them, I don’t want to sit and wait for them to do it.”
"I see." Yan San got up to leave, but was held back by Ling Qingyu.
"Don't go, I'll let Zheng Xi find a stranger to go, besides Hangzhou, are there other places where there are orders from the Red House?" Ling Qingyu asked. Although the teenagers didn't mention Yan San's matter later, from Mo Liu's performance, Ling Qingyu could guess that Yan San and the Red Chamber must already be enemies, so she would rather not go out than let Yan San be recognized .
Yan San was stunned for a moment, then understood her worry, and couldn't help laughing: "Wherever there are red-sleeve tricks, the beggars at the front door are the ones who take orders."
The corner of Ling Qingyu's mouth twitched unconsciously. Sure enough, the killer and the **** are the same as him!
"Xie Tingxuan is not the only one who offends us." Hearing what Ling Qingyu said, Ding Dong, who had changed shifts with Lamu and rested, said, "When I went back to Quanzhou last time, my adoptive father said that Xie Tingxuan owed a lot of money to get the goods. After going out for a few fleets, they didn’t come back, and the accumulated payment for goods was in the millions, and many small merchants asked him for money, but they were framed by him, and even the Luo family in Lingnan dared not pay back the money.”
A ship of goods, more than 400,000, less than a hundred thousand, a fleet, more goods, if it returns successfully, it will naturally be ten times the profit, if something happens, it will be empty of people and goods. In the past two years, the Xie family has lost money I'm afraid there are a few million. Ling Qingyu secretly said: Sure enough, good people are rewarded, so I was so lucky to take such a big advantage.
"This time the Xie family is going to sail the fleet, it is said that several people have been invited to participate, and one family no longer dominates." Ding Dong continued: "However, those few families are not willing to cooperate with Xie Tingxuan, they are all working with the direct line."
"I can find someone to place an order in Health House." Zheng Xi thought for a while, and said, "Health shop, I discussed with Brother Han, and we will open a bank in the next year. At this time, we have no business, but there Everyone has a store, and for a while, the Xie family couldn't find us."
"Well, in short, you have to be careful, you'd better pay for some bodyguards or something." Ling Qingyu nodded.
"The rules of the Red Mansion, if you take a big order from a merchant, you usually only take one side. If he takes the order to kill Xie's family, he won't take another order from Xie's family, so you have to pay enough money." After thinking for a while, Yan San Said: "Give one hundred thousand taels."
"It's so expensive!" Cai Jingfang, Zheng Xi, and Ding Dong all cried out. After discussing this kind of murder, Ling Qingyu felt that it was not good to tarnish Han Bian, so he arranged for him to receive the goods.
"It's not expensive. It's not expensive at all to make the Red House stop attacking us." Ling Qingyu knocked on the table and said.
"It's not too late, I'll go right away, girl, I won't see you off." Zheng Xi got up and said.
Taking out the silver ticket, Ling Qingyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will be another year when I go out this time, Zheng Xi, please hurry up and ask for a wife, Mother Zheng is in a hurry, maybe green sleeves are good."
"The green sleeves have already been assigned to Big Brother, don't worry about it, and have a safe trip." Zheng Xi took the bank note, turned around and left.
"Is everything almost packed?" After Zheng Xi left, Ling Qingyu asked Ding Dong.
"Well, the volume of goods this time is not very large, most of them are loaded with the items on your list. The goods from Quanzhou have been loaded on the other two ships according to your instructions. The crew on the ships have been staffed. The adoptive father chose it."
Ling Qingyu nodded. In addition to the items used in the ocean, there are also many daily necessities on the list he made, all for the Lingjia Village. He took the two boats around the Three Buddhas in Chenla and asked them to bring them by themselves. It is enough to return the goods, and then you can run offshore, first control the business lines in Southeast Asia, and block some of the Xie family's financial resources, so that you can fight better in the future.
"The head of the house." A servant saluted outside the door: "There is someone surnamed Xiao looking for him outside."
Xiao? Xiao Rong? Ling Qingyu hurriedly said, "Please come in."
It was not Xiao Rong who came in first, but Xiao Cang, and he was half-supported.
Compared with last year, Xiao Cang became much thinner and paler. Looking at him, Ling Qingyu felt as if the wind could blow him away.
Without waiting for Xiao Cang to be polite, Ling Qingyu quickly asked him to sit down, looked at the two rows of shining men standing in the front yard, wiped off his sweat, and asked, "Master Xiao is here, what's the matter?" It won't be now Come to avenge your little kid
"Xiao came to ask Master Ling for something." Xiao Cang wanted to stand up and salute him, but Ling Qingyu hurriedly wanted to help him, but suddenly remembered whether a man and a woman would accept each other, so he hurriedly took a step back and said, "Your Majesty Xiao, you don't have to be polite, just speak up if you have something to say." , as long as I, Ling Qingyu, can do it, I will never refuse."
Xiao Cang also had no strength, so she sat back in the chair, took a breath, and called, "Ser."
Xiao Se reluctantly walked out from behind him, pursed his lips and saluted Ling Qingyu.
Ling Qingyu's jaw was about to drop, he turned his head and asked Xiao Cang stiffly, "Master Xiao, what do you mean?"
"I heard that Master Ling's family is about to go to sea, and Xiao asked Master Ling to take the child with him." Xiao Cang looked at Ling Qingyu sincerely and said.
"Ah?" Ling Qingyu pointed at Xiao Se and asked, "Take him out to sea?"
"Yes." Xiao Cang said, then looked at her quietly for a while, and then said: "I'm not going to hide it from Master Ling, you have seen my physical condition, and now there are too many covetous eyes on the Xiao family, if Se'er stays Da Zhou, it’s too dangerous. In fact, you know that the head of the Ling family, thanks to the last time I met the head of the Ling family, I only have such a son, I hope the head of the Ling family can understand Xiao’s feelings." If you don't live with your son, why would you want him to take risks? But Ling Qingyu must be able to come back from the catastrophe. Going to sea is safer than being in Dazhou.
"However, Lord Xiao, Ling Qingyu went to a place that no one has been to before, it is very dangerous." Ling Qingyu said. If it's just running the old route, she's not afraid, but she's going to challenge the Inca Empire, bring a kid, and make herself suffer!
"No matter how dangerous it is, it can't compare to the danger in Dazhou." Xiao Cang closed his eyes and said, "Master Ling, the queen mother's will is on the way, and she wants Se'er to enter the palace. They will suddenly fall ill and die."
"Isn't Mrs. Xiao the princess?" Ling Qingyu wondered, isn't she related to the emperor
"Xiao's father-in-law is not the empress dowager's son." Xiao Cang said with a faint smile: "Now Se'er is too young to protect himself, and Xiao will not ask Ling to take him with him all the time. It only takes three years. After three years, Xiao Se will definitely I will go back to Xiao's house."
Depend on! What do you mean by that? I have to raise him for three more years! Ling Qingyu's eyes widened unconsciously.
"Daddy, I don't want to go with her, I will go to see mother with daddy!" Xiao Se, who had been pursing her lips, threw herself into Xiao Cang's arms and cried: "She is a bad woman, she will definitely bully me, and she will definitely bully me. I'll throw it into the sea to feed the fish, Daddy, I'll learn how to do business with Uncle Rong, and I'll be very good."
Xiao Cang patted Xiao Se's back with his hands, and looked at Ling Qingyu with more and more sad eyes. After a long while, he said, "Okay, let's go see your mother together, and we don't have to wait for the queen mother's order. Let's go back and see your mother together."
Seeing the tendency of the two father and son to cry loudly, Ling Qingyu sighed unconsciously, and said, "Lord Xiao, to tell you the truth, it is really dangerous for us to go out this time, if you still want Young Master Ling to follow, then I will We will also try our best to keep him safe."
Xiao Se raised his head, and stared at Ling Qingyu with eyes red from crying, asking you to mind your own business!
"So, I'm really thankful to Master Ling, these," Xiao Cang pointed to the men in the front yard and said, "It's the iron guards of the Xiao family, and they all board the boat with Master Ling, you can do whatever you want, I'm a little naughty , and ask Master Ling to discipline you a lot."
"In addition," Xiao Rong, who had been standing by the side, said, "I heard that Mr. Ling's family is going to open a silver house, and our Xiao family has several shops that are going to be sold." After Xiao Se left, most of the Xiao family's property will be transferred underground, allowing some It doesn't matter if the shop is given to the Ling family firm.
That's good, Ling Qingyu immediately beamed with joy, and said, "Well, then please trouble shopkeeper Xiao to discuss with Cai Jingfang later, and we will board the ship and set off."
