A Clash of Gods - Chapter 161

[Chapter 160 Slander]

On the deck above the ship building, there is a large and elegant table. There are more than ten beautiful maids serving around the table. At this time, there are three people on the table. When Zhu Yuchen and others arrive at the ship building, the three of them Just glanced over.

Yang Ning also glanced at the three at this moment.

I saw that the person facing him was an old acquaintance. It was Dou Lianzhong, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. The man on the left had just met before, but it was Ding Yitu, the chief escort of the Rising Sun Security Bureau. The man on the right was dressed in purple brocade fur. Wearing a white fox fur hat, he was in his thirties, and he exuded a sense of wealth and honor all over his body.

Dou Lianzhong swept over Zhu Yuchen and the others with a sneer, and when he saw Yang Ning, he was stunned and his face changed slightly.

At this time, Yang Ning’s eyes did not stare at the three people on the table, but through the three people, he saw a person facing the river, with his back to the crowd, on the side of the boat not far away. The crown of the hat, I can’t see the face of the man, but the man is not tall, the side of the boat has reached his chest, and it seems to be a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

Zhu Yuchen and the others glanced at each other, and finally took a step forward and cupped their hands: “I don’t know who wants to see us?”

Dou Lianzhong sneered and said, “Are you Zhu Yuchen?”

“It’s Zhu Yuchen.” Zhu Yuchen glanced at the man in the purple brocade fur, and said with a smile, “Isn’t this Mr. Jiang? Haven’t seen him for many years, has it been good?”

Yang Ning thought to himself that this man was indeed Donghai Jiang Suiyun.

Zhu Yuchen and Jiang Suiyun are both wealthy merchants in Great Chu, and it is only reasonable for them to know each other.

Jiang Suiyun just smiled lightly and did not speak, obviously he did not take Jiang Suiyun in his eyes.

Chen Mukuan couldn’t help but said: “The surname is Jiang, you are so big, what do you mean by bringing us here?”

Jiang Suiyun smiled lightly and said, “Chen Mukuan, I haven’t seen you for many years, your temper hasn’t changed, and you’re still so reckless and impatient, who told you that Jiang was looking for you?”

“It’s not your idea, so who is it?” Chen Mukuan said loudly: “What’s the matter, hurry up and say, Brother Zhu has the most prizes now after holding the flowers, we are not in a hurry, Brother Zhu is still in a hurry to do it. Shen Jiaonu’s guest of honor, hahaha…!”

“I’m just afraid that the guests entering the curtain will not be able to do it, but will be a corpse in a coffin.” Dou Lianzhong said solemnly: “You guys are really brave, you dare to show your prestige in the capital, who are you relying on? ”

Zhu Yuchen frowned and said, “We don’t understand what this gentleman said. The choice of the queen depends on what you want, and whose power do you need to rely on?”

Dou Lianzhong’s eyes were like swords, and he said lightly, “As expected of the Zhu family, who is the number one in Hangzhou, you are not too brave to talk to me like this.”

Jiang Suiyun picked up his wine cup and said leisurely, “I’m afraid you don’t know each other yet. This is Mr. Dou, and the father of Mr. Dou is Lord Dou, Minister of the Household!”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuchen and the others were like five thunders, and their faces instantly turned pale.

The Ministry of Household is in charge of the wealth and wealth in the world. Zhu Yuchen and others are all businessmen. Although they are all rich and powerful, in front of the Ministry of Household, they are definitely grandsons.

For these wealthy local gentry, they would run to the capital every year, mainly to find officials of the Ministry of Household, and secretly show their filial piety. The officials they found were only middle and low-level officials of the Ministry of Household, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to contact them. To the high-level officials of the Ministry of Households, to the officials of the Ministry of Households, even the rich and powerful like the Zhu family are actually difficult to cling to.

They never imagined that the person in front of them would be the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

Chen Mukuan was a bit tough before, but now his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhu Yuchen reluctantly smiled and said, “It turns out…it was Mr. Dou. I’m under… I’m disrespectful.” But he regretted it, thinking that he had known that Jiang Suiyun had already gotten involved with the Dou family. , I wouldn’t be in this muddy water anyway, so I can’t handle it now.

Dou Lianzhong saw that Zhu Yuchen and the others were subdued, and glanced at Yang Ning, with a proud look in his eyes, he slowly stood up,

With his hands on his back, he walked in front of a few people, and said lightly: “What do you mean by spending a lot of money just now? Showing your wealth? My great Chu once resisted foreign aggression, spending countless money, grain, soldiers and horses, but I didn’t see you contributing to the country, Don’t you have a clear mind at all?”

Zhu Yuchen and the others couldn’t help but think in their hearts, Jiang Suiyun just spent a lot of money, and this fight for wealth was also initiated by Jiang Suiyun. When the country was in trouble, I didn’t hear that the Jiang family was generous, so why didn’t you say it? Jiang family?

It’s just that at this time, who dares to argue with the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, he just bows his head and doesn’t dare to speak.

“Yo, Brother Yuan is here too?” Dou Lianzhong walked up to Yuan Rong, pretending as if he had just seen it, and said with a smile, “Why are you hanging out with these people?”

Yuan Rong smiled lightly and said, “These people have come from afar and are familiar with me, so we have a few glasses of wine together, Mr. Dou, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, I think it is better to let a few of them leave, don’t care too much. already.”

“Brother Yuan is wrong.” Dou Lianzhong said with a sneer: “These people are together and they are openly showing off on the Qinhuai River. This trend can’t last long. I also want to check to see if there is any conspiracy behind them.” His eyes fell on Qiu Fang and he asked, “Who are you?”

Qiu Fang was also quite calm at this time, cupped his hands and said, “It’s Qiu Fang!”

“Qiu Fang?” Dou Lianzhong said, “I’ve never heard this name before. From your accent, it doesn’t seem like someone from Hangzhou Prefecture.”

But seeing Jiang Suiyun smiled and said: “Master Dou, this person’s accent is a Liaodong accent, Qiu Fang… If I remember correctly, the surname of the Liaodong ginseng king is also Qiu, this Qiu Fang should be with the Liaodong ginseng. The king has some origins!”

Dou Lianzhong got excited as if he had caught something, and shouted, “You…you are from Liaodong? That’s…that’s Northern Han!”

Knowing that he couldn’t hide it, Qiu Fang nodded and said, “Liaodong King Shen is his grandfather.”

“Yes, there are two top-quality old ginseng in the color head that Zhu Yuchen sent just now. Naturally, you sent it out in the name of Zhu Yuchen.” Dou Lianzhong swayed like a mouse being stepped on its tail, and glanced at Yang from the corner of his eye. Ning glanced at him and continued: “Zhu Yuchen, I think something is wrong with you. It turns out that you are trying to collude with the Northern Han people to rebel.”

This big hat really weighs more than 1,000 kilograms, and Zhu Yuchen and the others all turned pale, already arguing: “Young Master Dou, this is absolutely not the case, although Brother Qiu is from the Northern Han, he is just a businessman, and the two countries have never Private business exchanges are prohibited, we are just business partners and have no intention of treason.”

“Have no intention of rebellion?” Dou Lianzhong sneered: “If you have no intention of rebellion, why are you colluding with the Northern Han people? Hey, this guy named Qiu must be a secret agent of the Northern Han people, just using his identity as a businessman as a cover, you are him. their comrades.” He shouted, “Come here, arrest them all.”

At this moment, he heard a long sigh, and then heard a voice: “Dou Lianzhong, are you tired? Jumping up and down, what do you want to do?”

In the voice, Yang Ning has come out.

Dou Lianzhong’s face changed slightly, but he immediately raised his finger and pointed at Yang Ning: “Qining, don’t be arrogant, you are also their comrade.”

“Who are you?” Yang Ning stared at Dou Lianzhong and asked.

Dou Lianzhong was stunned. Jiang Suiyun had already carried his hands over his shoulders. He obviously didn’t know Yang Ning either, so he just smiled and said, “Don’t you hear clearly, this is the son of the Minister of the Household!”

“It turned out to be the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.” Yang Ning looked at Jiang Suiyun, “Who are you?”

Jiang Suiyun frowned and said nothing.

Dou Lianzhong actually didn’t know what medicine was sold in Yang Ning’s gourd, so he frowned and said, “What tricks do you want to play?”

“Don’t play any tricks.” Yang Ning said: “You are yelling here, and those who don’t know think you are the official of the Ministry of Punishment, Master Dou, of course I know that you are the son of the Minister of the Household, I want to ask, except for With this identity, what other identity do you have? Is it the Minister of Punishment? The Minister of Punishment? The Governor of Kyoto? Oh, yes, or someone from the Shenhou Palace?

Dou Lianzhong opened his mouth, but UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com made no sound.

“And you, Jiang Suiyun, you are the eldest son of the Jiang family, other than that, what other identity do you have?” Yang Ning stared at Jiang Suiyun with a knife-like gaze, “How many officials are you?”

Jiang Suiyun frowned and said, “I don’t have an official body.”

“It turns out that you’re just a rich boy.” Yang Ning laughed, “Dou Lianzhong, you have no official status, how can you shout here? Are you using your father’s identity to show off outside? Well, let’s Go to see the sage now, and ask clearly if a son of the minister of the household without any official status is qualified to bring people to interrogate him on the street at will.”

When Dou Lianzhong was said a few words by Yang Ning, his heart suddenly felt a little empty, and he sneered: “I am a citizen of Chu, and if I find a spy, naturally… Naturally, I am qualified to ask, not only me, but any of the people of Chu. All the people have the right to protect their own country.”

“You said they were rebels or spies. Well, where’s the evidence?” Yang Ning stretched out his hand, “Show me the evidence. If it’s true, I’ll be the first to arrest these guys.”

Dou Lianzhong was stared at by Yang Ning’s blade-like eyes, and he felt uncomfortable, but he still said: “He…he is from the Northern Han, of course…!”

“Fart!” Yang Ning interrupted immediately, “As long as you are from the Northern Han Dynasty, you are a spy? Did you say this yourself, or did someone teach you? I have never heard of the ban on trade between the two countries. Qiu Fang is indeed from the Northern Han Dynasty. But if Northern Han merchants do business with our Great Chu, they are all spies, do you want to cut off the trade between the two countries? Even the court has never banned you, but you are here to disrupt the national policy, Dou, do you know the crime?”

Yang Ning’s voice was unusually cold and severe, Dou Lianzhong was questioned repeatedly, he couldn’t help but take a step back, sweat was already on his forehead.
