Chapter 1535 Mr. Qu (2)
Fu Jingen got on the pleasure boat and was led by a strong man to the deck of the bow of the boat.
A man in a crescent white brocade dress was sitting at the piano table, his hands gently stroking the guqin.
"Mr. Fu, what song do you want to listen to?"
Fu Jingen smiled and said, "I don't understand the rhythm, I can do whatever I want."
"Dong, dun..."
A melodious sound of piano floated over the Qinhuai River. There were many ships on the Qinhuai River. Many people came out to see the wonderful sound of piano. However, when they saw the signs on the ship, they all retracted and left quickly.
After the song, the piano player stood up and looked at Fu Jingen. Seeing that he was looking into the direction of the capital, Mr. Qu smiled and said, "My Lord Fu, but my piano sound can't reach your ears."
This famous young master Qu, whose surname is Qu Ming Shanhui, was a famous wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. He was better than his youth and became the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce at the age of 25.
This person is very strange. He doesn't like others to call him president or master, but likes to call him young master. So when people outside talk about him, they always call him Young Master Qu.
Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "Although I don't understand the rhythm, Mr. Qu's song is very good, which reminds me of my wife and children at home."
"I heard the piano sound of the third grandmother of the Wu family. The voice kept circling around for three days. I wonder if Lord Fu had heard it?"
Fu Jingen looked at him, nodded and said, "I heard it once, it is not as exaggerated as Mr. Qu said, but listening to her playing the piano is indeed a pleasure."
Mr. Qu felt very sorry: "It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to listen to the previous song."
After saying that, he slapped twice. Soon two graceful beauties walked in and carried the piano and the piano table down, and then replaced it with a long table of golden nanmu.
After sitting down, Qu Shanhui looked at Fu Jingen and said with a smile: "Mr. Fu has been in Jinling for half a month and has been busy investigating the case and cannot rest for a moment. I invite Mr. Fu to come, because I want you to relax."
Fu Jingen looked calm: "I'm sorry."
Qu Shanhui's smile remained unabated and he said, "Mr. Fu, I haven't congratulated you on your dear daughter yet!"
Fu Jingen glanced at him and said lightly: "Since you are so well-informed, you should know that the emperor is determined to rectify the Liangjiang Salt Tax. Even if I don't have me, there will be others."
This is obvious that even if you kill him, it will be useless, and the emperor will send someone again.
The two beauties brought over tea and pastries, put them down, and returned them to the cabin without stopping for much.
Seeing that Fu Jingen opened the teacup but did not pick it up, Qu Shanhui smiled: "What, Lord Fu is afraid that I will poison me."
Fu Jingen took a sip and said, "I have only drunk such a top-notch Biluochun from the emperor."
Qu Shanhui smiled and said, "If Lord Fu likes it, I will give you half a pound."
Fu Jingen glanced at him and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Qu for the gift."
After drinking a cup of tea, Fu Jingen said, "Mr. Qu, I am just following the order. So, you don't have to waste time here."
Qu Shanhui still had a faint smile on his face and said, "Xiaoxiao, Susu, give my new painting to Lord Fu."
Soon, the two beauties came in with a painting, walked to Fu Jingen, and they spread the painting open.
Fu Jingen's face changed when he saw this painting. It was not that this painting was so expensive, but that this painting was written by Qingshu.
Fu Jingen has no special hobbies when he is not rich or lustful, but he has weaknesses. He has now found this weakness.
A playful smile flashed through Qu Shanhui's eyes and said, "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu's paintings are really a good product in the world. I have tried a lot to buy them."
Fu Jingen did not answer his words, but said: "In the early years of Hongde, the taxes on Liangjiang were 16 million taels, and now the taxes on Liangjiang were less than 5 million taels. Now the border town is fighting the national treasury is empty, and the emperor must pay the salt tax. Mr. Qu, if I don't have me, there will be others."
Qu Shanhui smiled and said, "Qu is just an idle person and does not understand the affairs of the court. Today, please invite Lord Fu to come and listen to the songs and paintings, and then enjoy the beautiful scenery."
He threatened him with paintings just now, but now he said that he was an idle person. Fu Jingen was too lazy to have a show with him and said, "Mr. Qu, if you are willing to cooperate, I will plead for you in front of the emperor. If you are stubborn, then you are destroying yourself."
After being threatened, Qu Shanhui's smile on his face remained unabridged: "I just said that, I'm just an idle person. I think it's more appropriate to talk to Governor Luo and Governor Mo."
Fu Jingen was too lazy to talk nonsense to him anymore and said, "Since you are obsessed with it, don't waste my time and drive the boat back."
Qu Shanhui shook his head and said with regret, "I thought I could make friends with Lord Fu."
"It's a pity."
When the boat was about to dock, Qu Shanhui handed him a box: "I hope Lord Fu will like it."
Seeing that Fu Jingen was still moving, Qu Shanhui opened the box: "Don't worry, it's not a rare treasure, it's just an ordinary collection of poems."
Fu Jingen didn't know what he sold in the gourd, but he nodded and said, "I have collected the poetry collection, please take it back!"
When Lao Ba saw Fu Jingen intact, his suspended heart fell back to reality: "Master, let's go back."
Looking at the backs of the group, the two beauties walked to Qu Shanhui: "Young Master, do you want to solve him?"
The voice is melodious, but this is really fierce.
Qu Shanhui smiled and said, "Don't you think he is very interesting?"
The two of them didn't think Fu Jingen was interesting, they just thought he was particularly annoying. They actually threatened his young master, and they were really impatient to live.
Lao Ba asked, "Master, what did the person named Qu say to you today?"
"I said congratulations to me for having a daughter, and I also took a portrait of a peony painted by my wife and said I would like to appreciate it with me." Fu Jingen said coldly: "He did this just to warn me to stop and stop pursuing it."
Lao Ba said, "What should we do? If we continue to investigate, they will definitely attack. Governor Luo has a unclear attitude and we have no chance of winning against him."
Fu Jingen didn't say anything. As long as I got the account book, I could catch them all in one place.
Lao Ba asked, "Master, did the person named Qu mention the fifth brother?"
"Lao Wu is just one of my long-super. He gave the waist card to warn me that everything we have is under his control."
Therefore, Qu Shanhui did not specifically mention Lao Wu to him, and Fu Jingen was even more unlikely to ask him on his own initiative. Otherwise, exposing his true relationship with Lao Wu would make him more dangerous.
Lao Ba's heart was thrilled and said, "How is the fifth brother so lucky?"
Fu Jingen didn't speak.
The Ba Lao was a little anxious and said, "Master, let's find a way to save Brother Wu?"
Fu Jingen glanced at him and said, "If you don't care about it, you will lose all the game. If you lose, all of our people will be here."
The reason why Qu Shanhui hasn't taken action yet is that he is not sure that he has already mastered so much evidence. Otherwise, these people would do anything for the sake of their benefit.
Lao Ba's eyes were red in discomfort.
Fu Jingen looked towards the Qu family and said, "You don't have to worry. Lao Wu is smart and clever, and he can't escape this disaster."
After a long time of silence, the Baba said, "Master, let's not take on such dangerous errands in the future."
Huashan and Hezhou were always full of dangers. This time, this trip to Jiangnan, the case was only halfway through the investigation and Lao Wu was caught in.
Fu Jingen replied only eight words: "The matter of eating the king and loyalty to the king. But don't worry, this should be the last time, and there will be no such dangerous errands again in the future."
Lao Ba was not good-looking, but he still said: "I hope this is the last time as Master said."
