Chapter 59: (two)

She just laid the groundwork for her trip, and she silently complained in her heart:...Is it the best way to cheat me? !
"Brother, don't rush to make arrangements. I have friends here and I just want to introduce you." Bai Shiqi smiled on his face and stopped Wen Tao, who had already arranged a drink and listen to the tune.
While talking, Zhao Wujiu got off the boat in a wheelchair, followed by two guards. He had made arrangements, and Luo Dajue led a team into the city to explore the reality.
"This is His Royal Highness Zhou." They discussed on the way here. Lord Luo cannot be trusted by the Salt Gang alone. Instead of hiding it, Zhao Wujiu should play the Prince's sign early in the morning to make things more convenient.
The collusion between Jiangnan salt road officials and businessmen has been rotten to the top. If the court is determined to rectify the salt roads of the Lianghuai, all those who are in contact with the salt will first rectify the salt gang or rectify the salt road officials of the Lianghuai. I am afraid this is Lianghuai. Doubts in the hearts of everyone in Salt Road. At this time, King Zhou needs to stand up and make a stand.
Although Wen Tao didn't know Zhou Wang's intention, he didn't have a good impression of the official family now. How many men in the salt road of Lianghuai tied their heads to their waistbands to eat, and were exploited by officials.
He gave a weird smile and said: "I really don't see that you have a lot of friends, and you even know the prince of the court." He really wants to reconcile with Bai Shiqiyan, but it is a pity that God does not follow his wishes.
Bai Seventeen begged him for himself. He will do his best to do it for her no matter what. But begging him in a low voice for the sake of other men, which inevitably caused Wen Tao to bring out the fire and stab him with words.
Bai Shiqi's attitude was surprisingly good today. He didn't even assassinate him. He said politely: "We are the water transporters and don't deal with anyone. The last time I came back from Beijing, I met King Zhou by chance. I just happened to know him. But this time I came to Yancheng with Zhou Wang, and I really wanted to find someone, and I had to trouble Wen Wen for help."
Wen Tao didn't pat his chest to make sure, and smiled with no deep meaning: "Don't worry, don't worry, when you get to my brother, I will eat first before talking."
Seeing that he had made it clear that he did not want to continue, Bai Shiqi did not force him: "If this is the case, let's finish the meal first."
Wen Tao is usually a lively host, often calling friends and friends to drink and listen to tunes. Today, Bai Shiqi brought people to come to him, and he was so soft-hearted. Don’t worry about how happy he is. The only guests here are Bai Shiqi and Zhao Wu Blame the two, but he summoned a dozen to accompany them.
When I arrived at the wine table, Bai Shiqi knew it well. This is a Hongmen Banquet today.
She showed her weakness today very thoroughly, and she took the lead to raise a glass to apologize to Wen Tao: "There have been many offenses in the past. I punished three cups of self-punishment, and I am punished. Brother Wen has a lot of them, so you don't have to worry about me?!"
She drank three cups in a row, and the teenagers who accompanied the guests at the table often heard that the young gang master gritted his teeth behind his back and scolded Bai Shiqi how stinky and hard his temper was, and it was more annoying. They were amazed at her sudden change, and there were also boobs. Yangzi's, skipping the serious-faced disabled person Zhao Wujiu, went straight to Bai Shiqi and poured her wine with various names.
Wen Tao sat across from Bai Seventeen, neither stopping nor booing. He just smiled and watched, with a posture of "you come to Lao Tzu's site, you can figure it out by yourself".
If it was in the past, Bai Shiqi would have chosen to quit in the morning, but this is a very important matter. Not only must he sincerely say to the group of dudes who came to drink, "Hey buddy, it’s a great honor to drink with everyone." Those who still have to come are not rejected, and they don't even have the time to eat a bite of food to suppress alcohol, and pour down like drinking water.
Wen Tao is notoriously outrageous. The group of people he found are high-ranking baristas at the wine table. They don’t want to kill him when they fill up the wine. If they catch Bai Shiqi, they will find him a place. After the filling, they want to find someone else. Bai Shiqi waved his hand quickly, as if his tongue was a little bit bigger: "Wait, if you continue to fill it, you will lose hospitality!"
One of the facial features is deep, and the black and thin young man laughed and said: "The cousin often praises the hero of the young hero. He is brave and courageous. The brothers admire him tightly. We have the opportunity to get together with the young man. Be more affectionate!"
This person was Yan Fei, the cousin of Uncle Wen Tao's family. The family relied on the salt gang to eat. He was Wen Tao's loyal lackey when he was young. When he was a child, Bai Shiqi followed Bai Zhenting to Yancheng as a guest, and he followed Wen Tao to "enter" Over the past seventeen times two or three times, I was very impressed with the young leader of the Cao Gang.
It was the first time for the rest of the guests present to have dinner at the same table with Bai Shiqi, and they made it clear that they would give Bai Shiqi a horse.
Bai Shiqi hung around Yan Fei’s neck and said: "Brother Wen’s brother is naturally my Bai Shishi’s brother. It’s okay for everyone to kiss each other, but you can’t let me kiss each other? I came from afar. Brother Wen doesn't ask sister to sing songs, so he can't help but be deserted. How about this, let's bet with dice?"
Except for Zhao Wujiu's rigid life and self-discipline, everyone in the field is all playful ancestors. Her proposal was unanimously approved, but Zhao Bai and a dozen people were fighting against a dozen people. It would be unfair, so they broke up and regrouped. Everyone takes turns to bet, and in the end, it’s not as simple as drinking. There are also gambling.
After an hour, everyone present was six or seven points drunk, except Wen Tao and Zhao Wujiu were always sober.
The former has a plan, the latter has been guarding Bai Shiqi.
After Bai Shiqi delivered alcohol again, he stepped on the stool with one foot and poured a bowl of wine on her back. The wine was dripping down her delicate chin, and she didn't care, rubbing her sleeves casually, grabbing Yan. Fei does not let go: "I can't always lose, right?" She had to look at the dice cup in Yan Fei's hand: "Brother Yan, you can't do tricks? How come I will lose out of all likelihood?"
Yan Fei's face flushed when she was pulling her neckline: "Where is it? You lose because you are out of luck, don't rely on me!" The dice cup in his hand did not let go.
Bai Shiqi was overwhelmed with wine, and even felt that he had no good intentions: "You show it to me, I don't believe it!"
Yan Fei was holding the dice cup to run, Bai Shiqi stumbled behind him, she was drunk, and was filled with a lot of wine by the boys. Normally, her light body seemed to be filled with water, and she couldn't run heavily. Go ahead.
The two ran five or six laps around the big round table. Some cheered on the table, some secretly stumbled Yan Fei or Bai Shiqi's feet, and cheered on. The scene was chaotic.
When Bai Shiqi ran to the seventh lap, she passed by Wen Tao and stretched out a foot in the oblique stab. She had already crossed many obstacles before, but when she was about to jump this time, her leg retracted and stepped on it. Sora, almost fell. Unexpectedly, that foot was stretched out quickly again. After drinking, her reaction slowed down, she overturned the car and fell to the side...
Zhao Wujiu's complexion changed suddenly, and he stood up abruptly: "Seventeen--" But he was on the other side of the round table, even if he had to rush over.
When Bai Shiqi was about to fall, he was suddenly pulled by someone and fell directly back into the arms of someone.
She opened her drunk eyes, looked up, and smiled: "It is obvious that she is drunk, and she can't even walk smoothly. Brother Yan, you should take it over and show me, and don't gang up and bully me. Foreign guest. Brother Wen doesn't care about your cousin." She leaned against Wen Tao's arms, trying to sit up straight, and she didn't know whether Wen Tao was sitting too casually, leaning back, or herself. She felt weak, she was about to get up, but fell back again.
"Am I so drunk?" Bai Shiqi covered his head: "How many years did Brother Wen take to entertain us today?"
Wen Tao chuckles, as if he is not ready to help those who want to get up in his arms: "Not much, only thirty years."
"Thirty years?" Bai Shiqi was dumbfounded: "Brother Wen is really troubled!"
It’s no wonder that this wine tastes mellow, but has great stamina. She drank on an empty stomach, at least as many as two jars, and chased Yan Fei for several laps. Now the world is spinning, and she can only rely on it slightly: " Wait a minute for me." I only felt a bit of speech: "Brother Zhao, in a while... let's go back to the boat."
With Wen Tao on the side, she might even have one eye open even when she is dozing off.
Wen Tao secretly grinds her teeth and tightens her waist, only to feel that there is a thick layer between her waist. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the cotton clips are all taken off, and he stares at them and touches them quietly. The more I touched it, the more interesting it became, and I laughed out loudly: "What kind of boat are you going back? If my father knew that you were in Yancheng but slept on the boat, he wouldn't be able to take my skin? We'll go home and live in a while.
Bai Shiqi's brain turned slowly, but he could still respond normally: "What about Brother Zhao?"
Wen Tao saw that she was reluctant to abandon His Royal Highness Zhou Wang, and had to tie her with him, his eyes turned dark, and said politely: "If you don't dislike it, why don't you stay together?"
He was not very sincere in the invitation, but he did not expect His Highness Zhou to take it seriously: "I went with Seventeen. Naturally, it is where she lives where I live. I have to worry about it.
Wen Tao felt very uncomfortable.
After receiving the wind and banquet for a while, the group of young people helped each other away.
Bai Shiqi was helped by Wen Tao and got into the carriage to Wen's house. In the other carriage were Zhao Wujiu and Shu Changfeng.
He deliberately wanted to separate the two of them. Bai Shiqi also had some private words to talk to Wen Tao. It hit it off, and he was so drunk that he helped him onto the carriage and closed his eyes against the side wall for a while, trying his best to suppress the alcohol. Opening his eyes again, he bumped into a magnified handsome face and deep eyes.
The carriage was traveling extremely slowly, and Young Master Wen squatted in front of her, looking straight at the indistinguishable face in front of her: "Seventeen, I have a question for many years in my heart. Please solve your doubts."
"Please speak." Bai Shiqi rubbed his temples, trying his best to make himself sober, but found that the stamina of the wine was too strong, and his mind gradually became chaotic.
Wen Tao seemed to have been troubled by this incident for many years, losing patience, he asked straightforwardly: "Are you a man or a woman?"
Bai Shiqi chuckled his head and said, "Brother Wen, am I like a woman?"
Wen Tao was not confused by her words, but took a step closer, almost facing her face-to-face: "Who said that a woman must be gentle and submissive? I used to think that you sometimes look like an annoying naughty kid. , But sometimes as cute as a little girl, are you a man or a woman?"
Bai Shiqi slapped him on the face with one slap: "Don't stay so close, don't you feel sick when two men are so close?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Tao stepped forward and hugged her firmly, and said in a mute voice: "Seventeen, do you know? The first time I had a spring dream, it was you that I dreamed of."
Bai Shiqi pushed him, his face full of disgust: "Are you a good man? Why haven't you noticed it before?"
Wen Tao was also puzzled: "Apart from dreaming about you, I really don't like men, and you in my dream...worn in women's clothing. Later, I was whimsical and thought...maybe you are a woman." Wen Bao hadn’t even mentioned it. He told me for the first time, staring at her drunken blushing cheeks, her eyes were soaked in water. The emotions she had been suppressed for many years could no longer be suppressed, and she threatened her tightly: "If you never To be honest, believe it or not, I just pick up my clothes on the carriage for verification?"
Bai Shiqi was shocked by his shamelessness: "Isn't it, Brother Wen? You and my brothers have been so male for many years, and you are so male. Don't use me as a guise, you have to break your sleeves." She began to think Wen Tao is simply abnormal: "Besides...you don't know, but I like women, even if I take concubines, can there be fakes?
Wen Tao seemed to have heard some jokes: "Seventeen, don't coax me. For so many years, I don’t know how many people have been in the public. The young man of the Cao Gang is a romantic young man. I have inquired carefully and talked to women. Haven't you even been on a couch? I dare to pack a ticket. You must have never touched your concubine, right?"
Bai Shiqi's mind buzzed, and he used a dry smile to cover up his panic: "What's in my room, Brother Wen... seems to be clear?"
Wen Tao wandered around her waist with a pair of big hands, and squeezed her waist twice, lightly mocking: "I didn't find out what was wrapped around your waist? So it looks like Erlang, yes Isn’t it afraid that others will find your waist? What about the Adam’s apple?"
He leaned closer to take a closer look. Bai Shiqi punched him in the face with one punch, and his expression of anger had changed: "You...I came to Yancheng to report the news for you, and you are actually full of messy thoughts. I can’t discuss business matters with you. I will go to see Uncle Wen and talk to him now.

Wen Taojun received a punch from her in the face. He didn't feel as anxious as usual. Instead, he opened his eyes and smiled, "Is it right? I guessed it, so I was so embarrassed and angry?" He grabbed her Adam's apple and used a clever force. Actually... I was pulled down...
Bai Shiqi was furious: "Wen Tao, your uncle!" He raised his foot and kicked him.
"It really is a girl!" Wen Tao pressed her legs, hugged her tighter, rubbed and rubbed her neck, with a cunning expression: "If you still don't admit that you are a girl, I really want to pick up my clothes for verification!"
What can't this rascal do?
Bai Shiqi's hands and feet were suppressed by him, and his head was knocked on his forehead, and his eyes were staring at gold stars: "Even if I am a woman, what about?"
Wen Tao said "Ouch", his forehead had already bulged a small bag, he grinned with pain, but he smiled very openly: "It's not very good, but I can fulfill my wish. I will let my father and uncle when I go back. Go to propose a marriage, I want to marry you!"
With his head aching, his wine spirit gradually woke up, and Bai Shiqi's eyes turned cold: "Will you be jealous of marrying me and your seventeenth or eighteenth room concubine?"
Wen Tao's eyebrows smiled openly: "With you, what kind of concubine do I need? Give it all away!"
Bai Shiqi looked at him speechlessly, as if looking at a fool.
"Can we talk about business instead of private matters?"
Wen Tao chattered: "What is the matter with you and that Zhou Wang?"
Bai Shiqi rolled his eyes: "The salt gang is about to be slapped, why are you still confused?"
The matter is important, Wen Tao finally became sober, and was pushed away by Bai Shiqi: "You sit farther, and we will speak well."
Wen Tao reluctantly let go of his hand, moved a little to the side, still sitting very close, as if he was afraid that Bai Shiqi jumped the carriage and ran away: "You said, I'm listening." He wanted to pull her hand shamelessly. , She gave a sideways glance before she stopped.
"I got the news here that there are water bandits hiding in the salt gang. Because of the friendship between my old man and Uncle Wen, I don't want Uncle Wen's life's hard work to be ruined, so I deliberately followed His Royal Highness Zhou. You can tell me the truth, Yan Did the Gang get in touch with the water bandits?"
Wen Tao suddenly changed his color: "Which is this who is spreading the rumors outside? How could the salt gang get in touch with the water bandits?"
"Could it be the things the people below did, you and Uncle Wen don't know?"
Don't look at Wen Tao's wandering about men's and women's affairs. He has always been loyal to the gang. The brothers under his hands are willing to bear the troubles, so he is very popular. In another way, he protects his shortcomings.
Extremely short-term protection.
Who would say that his brother is not good, he has to fight hard.
Today’s words were mentioned by Bai Shiqi, and he didn’t fight on the spot: "How is it possible? How could the brothers of the Salt Gang be linked with the water bandits? Yes, we also sell private salt, fight and fight, but never rob the past. Merchant ships kill people, money and money. If I know, I won’t be the first one to spare!"
Bai Shiqi could not completely believe what he said.
The members of the salt gang are both good and bad, and the number is huge. If you sincerely want to conceal Wen Jia's father and son, it is not impossible.
"What if you don't know?"
"How could I not know?" He conceited that he was kind to his brother, and the brothers under his hands must also be daring to him, and he was even more upset about the unprovoked doubts of Bai Seventeen: "Seventeen, you also brought your brothers to beg on the canal. Yes, is it also casually suspecting Bangzhong brothers?"
Bai Shiqi was afraid of his anger and loss of reason, so his tone was extremely calm: "I will not casually suspect the brothers in Gangzhong, but Wen Tao, if there are eyewitnesses and clues, I will definitely check the brothers in Gang and introspect them. If you only speak with loyalty, it is not a long-term solution. Sometimes external attacks cannot destroy a gang, and even if there are internal problems in the most powerful organization, it will also be divided."
Wen Tao seemed to know Bai Shiqi for the first time and stared at her quietly.
Bai Shiqi touched his face: "See what?"
Wen Tao: "Suddenly I don't know you a little bit. I didn't expect you to be full of reason."
Bai Shiqi leaned against the wall of the carriage, and persuaded him: "If you think what I said is reasonable, you can cooperate with me and King Zhou in secret investigations. You also know that this year is probably an eventful season. Whether you can make it through, you have to rely on your own ability. Don’t think that I brought Zhou Wang to Yancheng to cause trouble for you. In turn, I thought, didn’t it give the Yanbang a chance to whitewash? The imperial envoys who checked the Lianghuai salt roads have arrived in Jiangnan, and soon Jiangnan will change. Up."
Wen Tao thoughtfully.
When the carriage arrived at Wen's house, Wen Tao helped Bai Shiqi to get out of the carriage. She quarreled with Wen Tao all the way, and the wine was unexpectedly awake.
The housekeeper Wen also recognized her and came to welcome the guests at the gate with a big smile: "I heard that Young Master Bai was here as a guest. The young master sent someone back early to let the old slave clean up the guest room and sent a letter to the master. He was also very happy. , Should be back soon."
Bai Shiqi smiled and said, "I have work."
The group was standing at the gate, waiting for Shu Changfeng to help Zhao Wujiu get out of the carriage. Suddenly, they rushed to ride in the distance. The horse arrived at the gate of Dewen’s house and was going too fast. The rider tightened the rein of the horse. The child's front hoof was raised high, and he made a long hiss before stopping.
