"Father, you can't say that. If there is no family security, I think we should be the ones who are down." Chen Yueying didn't have such a good temper, so she just turned back.

"Yueying, just let the second uncle go, and the second uncle will pay you back as a cow or a horse in the next life."

"Don't..." Chen Yueying stretched out her hand to block Chen Nan, thought for a while and said, "It's fine if you want me to let you go, but you have to agree to one condition first."

"My request is very simple, from now on, let's separate."

Chapter 73 The Son of the Cao Gang

Time flies, more than a month has passed since the last auction conference, the novelty brought by the auction to these merchants has long since dissipated, and all the money for the sale of the shop has been delivered, and the Chen family seems to have recovered overnight. The original domineering, but without these shops, the Chen family, who has all these silver taels, always seems to have lost some confidence.

Since the last auction, Su Hongxiu seemed to have evaporated in the world. It was said that she seemed to have gone to Nanjing. As for what she was doing, it was beyond He Jiaan's ability to find out.

Last time, Chen Yueying's idea of ​​proposing a family separation was directly rejected by Chen Xi. Although Chen Nan was not punished, he was kept at home these days, and it calmed down a lot.

The only good thing comes from He Jiaan's Deyun BBQ restaurant. The business in the store has always been relatively hot, and it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others. I have heard that several nearby restaurants are also preparing this kind of barbecue. Many of the chefs, cooks, and waiters who have been hired by them have also been poached by them.

This kind of thing is definitely impossible to prevent, but as long as the recipe of their own marinated barbecue ingredients is not stolen, it is not so easy for them to imitate their own barbecue.

Therefore, when everything was on the right track, He Jiaan became much more relaxed, and the idea of ​​building a hotel chain was also on the agenda.

No, early this morning, a painting boat set off from the wharf of Qingjiangpu and slowly sailed towards Suzhou City along the water of the Grand Canal. The master surnamed, the ability to repair gardens can be called the best in the world, so with a bit of temptation and the idea of ​​spending honeymoon with Chen Yueying, the two hired a boat and went straight to Suzhou.

Qingjiangpu is only a few days away from Suzhou, and He Jiaan has no idea about whether he can invite others to help him, so he is not in a hurry to let the boatman sail faster. The two sit in the small building on the second floor of the painting boat, watching Looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the canal, if the interest is strong, He Jiaan will play a few tunes, and from time to time shout out some tunes that Chen Yueying can't understand, but what she waits for is a burst of anger.

No matter how slow the boat travels, there will be times when it arrives in Suzhou. The closer it is to Suzhou, the more prosperous the two sides of the canal will be. The scenery, pointing up.

At this moment, a fast boat suddenly sailed behind him, the sails on the boat were already full, and there was also a man standing on the bow, wearing a white scholar's robe, holding a folding fan flamboyantly in his hand, Regardless of whether he was hot or not, he fanned it slowly on his chest, with an unruly expression on his face.

The clipper quickly caught up with the boat that He Jiaan was riding on, and for a brief moment when the two boats were walking side by side, the person standing on the bow of the opposite boat suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the boat, and then stunned.

Sometimes it is troublesome to find such a good-looking daughter-in-law, and it always attracts a lot of flies. Watching the other party's Clippers quickly disappear in front of him, He Jiaan didn't take this chance encounter to heart, but pondered for a while, looking for He took a piece of gauze and covered Chen Yueying's face first.

Chen Yueying didn't dislike He Jiaan's style, after all, she also knew that she was more eye-catching, and it was more convenient for her to cover it up. While the two were talking and laughing, traffic jams suddenly appeared on the channel ahead , I saw that the river was crowded with all kinds of boats, and the fast boat just now was impressively ahead.

"Boss, what's the situation?" He Jia'an didn't understand this, so he quickly called the boatman over.

"Hey, what else can it be..." The boss of the boat snorted disdainfully towards the front, and then said softly, "It's not the people who are responsible for collecting taxes."

Oh, it turned out to be the tax collector.

Now He Jiaan understood. In fact, I have seen this kind of practice in later generations. No matter where you get your car, as long as you enter a certain city, there will always be such a tax collection unit at the intersection of entering the city. , After working for a long time, this idea has been handed down since then.

Since there are tax officials, we can only line up to pay taxes.

The boat gradually slowed down again, and lined up neatly behind the fast boat. At this time, Chen Yueying had already returned to the cabin, and He Jiaan was the only one left on the bow, looking at the small pier not far away. , right to watch the fun.

Just when he was watching it interestingly, a figure flashed in front of him suddenly, and the son he had just met appeared at the tail of the clipper at some point, cupped his hands at him, and said with a smile: "Jiang Mubai in Suzhou, may I ask?" What is the gentleman's name?"

When others were so polite, He Jia'an also cupped his hands in return and said: "He Jia'an in Jiangpu, Xiaqing, met Mr. Jiang."

"He Jia'an, good name." This Jiang Mubai looked familiar, and the two of them chatted prow and stern. After all, they were not familiar with each other, and He Jia'an followed each other most of the time. Just talking, seeing the number of boats in front of him becoming less and less, He Jiaan finally interrupted Jiang Mubai's words: "Young Master Jiang, it's time for your boat to pass the customs, so He will take his leave first."

"No hurry, no hurry." Jiang Mubai stretched out his hand to stop He Jiaan without even turning his head, but a hesitant expression suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said suddenly: "I have something I don't know whether to ask or not. "

"Oh, what's the matter?" He Jiaan froze for a moment.

"It's the lady who stood shoulder to shoulder with Brother He just now at the bow of the boat. Where did she... go?"

As soon as he heard that he actually inquired about Chen Yueying's whereabouts, He Jia'an's face fell down. He looked at the other party sullenly, and hummed heavily: "That's my wife, don't worry about Mr. Jiang, see you."

After finishing speaking, He Jiaan flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to enter the painting boat, when Jiang Mubai suddenly heard Jiang Mubai snorting coldly from behind: "Wait a minute, Mr. He, I am really easy to talk, but the brothers around me have a bad temper They're all very irritable, I think you'd better let Mrs. Sister-in-law come out to meet her, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to cross this canal."

He Jiaan's footsteps stopped suddenly, he paused and turned around, there were seven or eight more big men on the stern of the boat where only Jiang Mubai was alone just now, wearing only thin single clothes, The well-developed muscles on his body were vaguely exposed, staring at him with different eyes, and he kept moving his wrists and joints.

Seeing this situation, He Jia'an already expected that today would definitely not be good. He and Chen Yueying only brought two guards with them when they came out this time. They would definitely be unable to fight. If they wanted to run, the speed of the boat increased again. If I didn't come up, my heart suddenly became a mess.

"Who are you?" He Jiaan tried to hold him back while thinking of a way to escape.

After saying this, Jiang Mubai immediately put on a proud look, opened the folding fan with a flick of his hand, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Young Master of the Cao Gang."

Chapter 74 The Line of Defense Falls

Caobang.

When hearing these two words, He Jiaan's face immediately turned pale.

Don't think that I have never met a member of the Cao Gang, but the prestige of the Cao Gang is clear even to myself, who came from hundreds of years later. Unexpectedly, I met someone from the Cao Gang here.

The most important thing is to meet a young leader of the Cao Gang.

He Jiaan doesn't care how powerful this young gang leader is, but what he cares about is the person behind this guy, the gang leader of the Cao Gang, which sounds scary enough.

Thinking of this, He Jia'an could only bite the bullet and cupped his hands: "My lady was just a little dizzy from the cold wind, and she has gone back to the cabin to rest. How about this, please leave the address, Mr. Jiang, when my lady recovers. , my husband and I will definitely come to visit."

Hit, definitely can't beat, the only way is only one word... procrastinate.

He Jiaan was not sure whether his strategy would be effective, but when he was thinking about it, Jiang Mubai who was opposite him suddenly laughed, and then suddenly snorted heavily: "I said that the surname is He, do you think that this The young master doesn’t know how to count, you said she was sick when she was sick? I just said she was not sick, I just wanted to go up and have a look, someone, please help, I want to get on the boat.”

As soon as this sentence was finished, before He Jiaan had any reaction, the people on the opposite side immediately started to move, a few flying claws swished up, and then pulled tightly, the two boats were not big at all. The distance was immediately shortened a lot.

The situation is already clear enough, when I usually see scenes in novels where girls are being robbed in broad daylight, I am very angry, but I never expected that I would encounter such a time.

The veins in He Jiaan's hands had burst, and seeing that the other party would jump onto his boat in a short time, He Jiaan suddenly turned around and ran into the cabin.

"Mr. He, why are you running? Don't waste your energy. Even if you let your lady jump off the Grand Canal now, I can still catch her up. Besides, I just borrowed it for a few days. When I get tired of playing , it will be returned to you."

He Jia'an's face turned livid as he listened to the obscenities behind him, but he ran fast. After a few steps, he got into the cabin, looked at Chen Yueying with an anxious expression, and asked suddenly: "The one I brought What about that baggage?"

"Ah?" Chen Yueying in the cabin could hear the conversation outside the ship clearly. If he was on the shore, he might have escaped, but this is on the Grand Canal. Didn't he hear people say that even if he jumped into the river now, he There is also a way to get himself up, but what should I do now.

The two servants brought here were quite calm and did not show any fear. Zhang Hu had already drawn his knife in his hand, and said to He Jiaan: "Young master, you go to the second floor to hide first, and Lao Ba and I will stay here first." Hold here for a while."

"It's too late. There are too many of them. Let's all go up to the second floor." He Jiaan was still rummaging through the pile of luggage, but Chen Yueying and Xiao Zhao beside him looked panic-stricken. Shouted: "Uncle, it's not good, they are coming up."

At this time, He Jiaan finally found the luggage he wanted, grabbed the luggage and ordered: "Quick, everyone go to the second floor."

The five of them had no time to take care of the boatman behind, and hurried to the second floor of Huafang. Zhang Hu and another famous man Ding stood in front of the stairs on the second floor, but they were very worried. It depends on whether the two of us can stop it, he doesn't have any confidence in his heart.

"Uncle, if we really can't hold back, you can jump into the river with the eldest lady. This place is not too far from the shore, as long as you swim ashore."

Zhang Hu was already ready to sacrifice his life for righteousness. When he caught a glimpse of He Jiaan, he was suddenly taken aback. Seeing He Jiaan carefully stuffing something into a strange-looking thing, he didn't know if he heard what he said. if.

The gun was given by Ronaldo. Although it is powerful enough, the loading speed is too slow. It needs to be reloaded, and it needs to be reloaded. After entering the cabin, I looked around and when there was no one on the first floor, I immediately rushed up to the second floor.

The stairs of more than ten steps ran to the end, the other party just showed his head, and before he had time to check the surrounding situation, a gust of cold wind blew towards his head, the other party was also considered a The master, without even thinking about it, tried his best to lie back fiercely. Although he escaped Zhang Hu's knife, he lost his balance and fell down together with the people behind him. .

As soon as Jiang Mubai entered the cabin, he saw how useless his subordinates looked, and he was immediately out of breath. He walked to the stairs in three steps, glanced up carefully, and then glanced left and right. After taking a look, he shouted angrily: "What are you looking at, go up."
