Chapter 552 Getting carried away
"Brother Ma, Brother Qiao, what are you doing?"
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Chen Yiqu walked forward and stood beside the two men.
Ma Rong and Qiao Tai were overjoyed to see Chen Yiqu and patted him on the face.
After a long while, Qiao Tai finally said, "You have done quite well in the past few years. You have become stronger. You were so thin before."
Qiao Tai walked around Chen Yiqu, marveling at him.
"Don't joke, my two brothers. I was sent here by Yuan Qi."
"The head of the family went to the governor's mansion earlier, and they asked me to get information and find out what the head of the family did when he went to the governor's mansion."
Chen Yiqu begged for mercy again and again and had to tell the purpose of his trip.
Ma Rong and Qiao Tai stopped joking and told Cui Liang that the purpose of Li Cunxi's trip was to blackmail him.
Then, Ma Rong said, "According to the time, the Iron Hand Group should have heard the news from the Governor's Mansion by now."
"Even if you send back all the accurate information, it's still a little late. Fortunately, you can explain it now that you're back."
When Chen Yiqu got the news, he cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, there is no time to lose. I will go back and report the news to Yuan Qi."
Qiao Tai nodded and said, "Go quickly, Yiqiu, don't waste time, we still have time to meet again later."
Chen Yiqu said goodbye to the two reluctantly and turned to leave.
Ma Rong and Qiao Tai lingered at the ferry for a while, then left together and found an inn to stay in in Yangzhou city.
On the official ship, Li Cunxi and others sat in the cabin, no longer avoiding others. They took out the bribes they had received and played with them carefully in their hands.
Lu Dayou looked at the calligraphy again and again, unable to let it go, and the love in his eyes was almost beyond words.
Wu Yanhao was lying on his side, playing with the beautiful jade in his hand, but his eyes were always fixed on Zhong Yao's masterpiece in Lu Dayou's hand.
After a long time, Wu Yanhao suddenly said:
"Dayou, how can you be sure that this is the masterpiece of Zhong Yao from the late Han Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Lu Dayou looked at it carefully again and again, but could not find any problem with the calligraphy.
However, since Wu Yanhao said so, this calligraphy is most likely a fake.
A young man from a wealthy family must know much more than he does.
"Damn it! Cui Liang actually used a fake painting to trick me. I will never stand for him!"
Lu Dayou was extremely angry and furious.
He was born in a mountain valley in Youzhou, from the poor Xiaolianzi Village, and had no knowledge.
Fortunately, I followed Di Renjie and then Li Cunxi in the past few years, and gained some experience.
He has dabbled in all kinds of arts, but is not an expert in them. He only recognizes Zhong Yao's masterpieces but does not know whether they are authentic.
If Wu Yanhao hadn't reminded him, he would have almost been fooled by Cui Liang using a fake product.
It's really infuriating!
Who would use counterfeit goods when giving bribes?
"I was negligent."
Li Cunxi rubbed his brows and said, "Most of Zhong Yao's works have been lost. These are probably imitations by later generations."
"I thought that with my status as the governor of Yangzhou and the capabilities of the Iron Hand Group, I could really get a masterpiece by Zhong Yao."
After saying that, Li Cunxi casually handed the painting of a lady with a fan in his hand to Lu Dayou.
"I'm not interested in this thing, so I'll give it to Brother Dayou."
"I was at the Governor's Mansion just now. Did I act well?"
Lu Dayou was filled with emotion when he received the fan.
Li Cunxi was indeed a good brother. When he saw that he was being cheated, he directly gave him the bribe he had received.
This kind of brotherhood cannot be bought with money!
Lu Dayou put away the painting of the lady with a fan, and decided to say a few good words for Li Cunxi in the secret letter, and then slander Cui Liangjin a few more times.
"You did show some greed today, but that's human nature. If such a high-ranking official is not greedy, others will just think there's something wrong with you."
"I guess Cui Liang knew that you accepted bribes, so he must think that you are also a corrupt official, and then told Yuan Qi, and they will naturally have ways to deal with you."
Wu Yanhao put the jade in his hand into his pocket and sat up straight.
"We just need to wait for Chen Yiqu to bring back the news, and then we can wait for that bastard Yuan Qi to come find us."
"Will he really come?" Lu Dayou asked doubtfully.
"Yes, whether it is to confuse us or for other reasons, he will come to us."
……
At Prince Ying's Mansion, Yuan Qi had been waiting for a long time, but instead of waiting for Chen Yiqu, he waited for a killer from the Iron Hand Group who went to the Governor's Mansion to gather information.
The killer probably ran all the way back, and breathlessly recounted the process of gathering information.
Yuan Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Li Cunxi went to the governor's mansion just to go through the motions, and finally left happily after getting a bribe from Cui Liang.
His worst fears did not occur.
Li Cunxi, who was known as the most talented young man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, did not discover the conspiracy behind the Han Canal boat capsizing case.
The first man of the young generation, the head of all officials in the court, stumbled in Yangzhou and misjudged the depth of the flood in Yangzhou.
"In this case, I can rest assured."
"Since Li Cunxi hasn't discovered the depth of our Yangzhou, I will have no choice but to wait until he leaves before I openly carry out the Han Canal boat capsizing case. Hahahahahahahahaha."
"Our good days are coming soon, hahahaha."
Yuan Qi felt so refreshed, as if he had jumped into the canal and taken a three-hour bath in the middle of summer.
He swam freely in the endless canals, and no one cared whether his naked buttocks looked decent or not.
"metropolitan."
Long Feng suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong, Long Feng?"
Yuan Qi's refreshing feeling did not last for more than a few seconds before it disappeared immediately, just like being poured with cold water in the dead of winter.
It makes people feel uneasy and tremble all over.
This feeling came unexpectedly and was brought by this grandson Long Feng.
In the past, every time he became too proud of himself, Long Feng would say something like this and he would fall from the clouds to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"You've got me a little prepared, Long Feng."
Yuan Qi rubbed his eyebrows.
"What are you thinking about?"
Long Feng glanced at Yuan Qi in confusion, and then said, "I wanted to say congratulations to the Sect Master. You finally got what you wanted."
"Li Cunxi has been our enemy for so many years. This time we are right under his nose. What can he do to us?"
Hearing this, Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloom on his face was replaced by a smile.
The two smiled at each other, then clapped their hands and laughed.
Years of accumulation, years of forbearance, years of suffering...
At this moment, all the hardships and hard work they had experienced turned into the great route to the island of wealth!
After being poor for over a hundred years, their Iron Hand Group is finally going to become one of the top wealthy families and become completely rich!
Yuan Qi jumped up suddenly and twisted his body involuntarily.
"Get rich, get rich, get rich!"
