Chapter 129
Within half a month, Liang Pengfei received a letter from Shi Xianggu, which naturally contained sweet words, telling her longing. As for the matter between the two, she did not dare to tell her father, but she had already persuaded Mr. Shi to not make things difficult for the new camp navy.
Liang Pengfei looked at it for two or three times without any satisfaction before putting the letter covered with beautiful handwriting in his sleeves, raised his head to deliver the letter to the Shi Xianggu's personal guard who came to deliver the letter and pretended to be a fisherman and smiled and said, "Sit down, by the way, Miss Shi has anything else to do."
"Miss only said that I hope you are more patient, Mr. Liang. The lady is trying to make it work to make the old man ease the relationship between the two families..." After the Shi Xiang Gu's personal guard said this, there seemed to be something hidden between his words. Liang Pengfei couldn't help but frown: "Speak it out, don't hesitate."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's the Zheng Lianchang who brought his son to pay homage to my master, Zheng Yiguan, and Zheng Wenxian, who asked my master for marriage." The guard still told the matter. Liang Pengfei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, holding the cigar and was about to send it into his mouth. He couldn't help but stop: "Zheng Lianchang! But Zheng Lianchang from the Red Flag Gang in Xing'an, Guangdong."
"It was him, Zheng Lianchang, the leader of the Hongqi Gang." The guard nodded and said, "Our master was a little intent, but the lady spoke and refused to leave. However, Zheng Lianchang's son Zheng Yi did not give up. After his father left, he stayed on our island for a while, and was so entangled that the lady was not very disturbed. Two days ago, because the lady borrowed a hair and drove him away, he left in disappointment. However, before leaving the island, he asked around and asked if our lady had any people he liked."
"My mother Zheng Yi actually pestered my wife." Liang Pengfei kept cursing in his heart.
Seeing Liang Pengfei sitting on the chair with a blue face and silent, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. The Shi Xiang Gu's personal guard also continued with some trepidation: "Originally, the lady told me not to tell you about this."
"You can tell me that I'm doing it right. My lady and I... Well, in short, I won't harm your lady, just remember it." Liang Pengfei took two steps forward, patted the Shixiang Gu's guard's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face. "Monk, take this brother to rest behind, ask the kitchen to give him some good things, and get a jar of wine to entertain this brother well, do you know?"
"Don't worry, young master, I must satisfy this brother." Monk Chen responded respectfully, embraced the shoulders of the Shifu guard, and walked out of the door happily.
"Young Master, that Zheng Lianchang is an amazing person." Bai Shusheng came up at this time and said to Liang Pengfei in a low voice.
Liang Pengfei rubbed his forehead: "Nonsense, you think I don't know. Humph, now, the members of the Tan family already have four major surnames from the late Ming Dynasty, divided into six gangs, red, yellow, blue, white, black, and purple. Among them, the Hongqi Gang is the strongest, and Zheng Lianchang is the leader of the Hongqi Gang. The Shi family was one of the four major surnames of the Tan family in the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Shi doesn't like to manage affairs now. Shi Dakai is a young boy. Only the smart and capable Shi Xianggu is the leader of the Ziqi Gang. Now, although the four major surnames of the Tan family have declined a lot, Shi Xianggu, the leader of the Ziqi Gang has been doing quite well in recent years and is highly praised. In addition, after the battle on Crab King Island, there are many ships and cannons, and his strength has increased a lot, and he is faintly standing by his Zheng family."
Bai Shusheng nodded in agreement, and held the rat beards on the corner of his mouth, his eyes lit up: "If the Zheng family and the Shi family really get married, then in the future, the six banners of the Dan family will be unified."
"That's right, young master, otherwise, let's find a chance to kill that guy!" The muscles and violence almost stuffed their brains with martial spirits and encouraged them.
Liang Pengfei glanced at this guy. "Get out, stop causing trouble for me. If you want to slaughter me, you should think that Zheng Lianchang is a pig."
After being scolded by the young master, Wu Ganqing chuckled and squatted and drew circles. Anyway, it was not his strength to come up with an idea. He was good at fighting and killing and stabbing his life. He was just so bored that he was so painful that he interrupted.
"Young Master, since Miss Shi told the guard to let her not say anything, the young man thought it was Miss Shi who felt that there was no need to mention this matter, because now the Ziqi Gang is the master of Miss Shi. Although there are some private matters that Mr. Shi should be respected, Mr. Shi cannot disrespect her intentions." Bai Shusheng was still like a dog-headed military advisor, calculating the possibility for Liang Pengfei.
"Maybe." Liang Pengfei rubbed his forehead. "Since Shi Xiang Gu said that, let's leave this matter first. By the way, scholar, write a letter to my father, ask him if he knows the details of the Zheng family and check it out for me. Although it's okay now, who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Young Master, don't worry, young master, let's do it now." Bai Shusheng nodded and walked out of the barracks. Liang Pengfei was about to lie down and take a nap when suddenly a hurry came from outside: "Master Guardian, please report important matters."
"Is it Mr. Wu Qian? Come in." Liang Pengfei had to get up from the recliner. "Isn't today your day of rest? Why didn't you stay in Xin'an County? I came to the camp again? Could it be that Xiao Yueru from Yaohonglou thought that the reward you gave was too little, so she came to me to borrow money."
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang couldn't help but blush. "Don't make fun of Xiaguan, garrison. Xiaguan really has something important to report. It's up to Xiaguan to inquire from Yaohonglou with his own ears."
"Why? Sit down and talk." Liang Pengfei couldn't help but become solemn when he saw Wu Liang's awkward expression of seriousness behind him.
"Mr. Guard still remembers that before you came to our Xin'an Camp, there was a mess. Xiaguan told you at that time that it was because Xin'an Camp was often attacked by those large thieves. Not to mention patrolling the sea area, even if you can't even defend it, how can you come to Anjing? There are also nearby waters in Xin'an County, not only are pirates rampant, but also frequent smuggling."
"Well, you said this, why? Is something wrong?" Liang Pengfei couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. He had been here for a month or two, and the soldiers under his command had lost their original youth and mediocrity. Now, the soldiers in the Navy camp can be considered well-trained, and it should not be a problem to deal with ordinary pirates and pirates. Liang Pengfei was itchy. However, there was no order above, and Liang Pengfei dared not evacuate his post. He could not take one or two thousand people around to other people's defense areas to find trouble.
Therefore, although he has the ambition to make achievements and the territory of the Dan family is opposite, the closest one is the territory of the Shi family. Liang Pengfei can't even buy his wife's territory to seek credit and reward. So Master Liang could only stay on Xin'an County, a big pond, and stare at him.
"It's indeed a big deal. I'll tell you, sir. Xiao Yueru, the lover in Yaohonglou, wants to come, you know." Wu Liang, the general general of the Qian Dynasty, still felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned this, but Liang Pengfei had no intention of making fun of him. He also calmed down and told the whole story of the matter.
It turned out that these two days were the rest days of Wu Liang, the general manager of the Qianlong. This guy hooked up with Xiao Yueru in Yaohong Building, the largest brothel in Xin'an County. Every time he rested, he would always treat it as his home until he returned to the camp. Yesterday, this guy was at Xiao Yueru, but since Xiao Yueru and her good sister Xiao Taohong were talking about the various things that happened in the brothels, the day before yesterday, a group of vendors came to Xin'an County, living in Chenjia Lane in the east of the city.
The few people who led them got into Yaohong Building, spending money here, and not seeing any business, but they were wandering around in brothels all day long until last night, one of the drunkards who had drunk too much unconsciously revealed that they were doing a big business here, but the drunkard seemed to be alert to what kind of big business it was and did not show any more words.
Wu Liang immediately started to think about it and quietly peeked in, but did not find what kind of goods the vendors carried with them. The vendors living in Chenjiaxiang took out some groceries and occasionally took them out for sale, then they shrank back into the rented inn and went to gamble.
"... Since these people are here to do business, and they are big business, they don't have much goods. And I see that the shops under the merchants are both skilled. The officials used money to bribe the inn's records. The officials said that they had heard them say something about foreigners, opium, etc. They could no longer ask anything else, so the officials hurried back and report to you, the garrison." Wu Liang's words made Liang Pengfei unable to sit still anymore, and he stood up suddenly.
"Opium...you can be sure that you hear it right." Liang Pengfei walked a few steps in the barracks with a dark face and stopped, turned around and asked Wu Liang.
"It's true." Wu Liang, the general general of the camp, nodded vigorously. If he was not sure about this kind of news, how could he dare to come and report it?
"Okay, okay! I'm worried that I won't have the chance to get promoted and make a fortune. At this moment, someone finally came to my door." Liang Pengfei sneered, and the laughter of Yin Xiao added a hint of coldness and solemnity to the dim dusk.
