Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

On a spring night, the breeze is blowing, and the drizzle is slightly cool.

The next day, the stars had not set, the sun had not risen, and the sky was still hazy.

The port outside the city of Ningbo is already bright as day, with countless lanterns and torches, and a huge brazier is still burning on the elevated bridge at some distance.

On the edge of the port, large and small restaurant sheds have been set up, and they are selling up and down.

"Where is Baozi, where is Baozi!"

"Fried dough sticks with soy milk, rice dumplings and steamed buns!"

"Yangchun noodles, how about a bowl?"

By the side of the shed, there were many men in short shirts who had breakfast in groups of three or four, and they all came to the port before dawn to help people with their work.

People like to classify themselves into different grades. If you look carefully, you will find that the men who are eating breakfast seem to classify themselves into high and low grades.

A "high-end" man eats in a leisurely manner, talking and laughing with a group of people.

These probably have been working at the dock for many years, have their own guild, and make appointments with the merchants in advance to set the time for the work.

Most of the "lower" men are together with several people, and they have to watch and listen to all directions when eating.

If someone who looks like a manager comes over, he yells, "There is a ship of goods to be loaded at the west port, fifty cents per person, first come, first served!"

These guys didn't care about anything, and rushed over.

In a hurry, some people stuffed half a steamed bun into their pockets.

Some people held a can of soy milk and drank it while running.

Some people couldn't take away half a bowl of noodles, and they couldn't bear it, so they simply picked up a large chopstick and stuffed it into their mouths.

The swaying noodles that could not be wrapped and hung on the chin caused the "high-class" men to burst into laughter. The laughter was full of laughter. Most of these embarrassed men were farmers near Ningbo, who came here during the slack season Looking for work at the docks.

As far as Shengdou ordinary people are concerned, how much does the calculation of the powerful have anything to do with them?

Three meals a day, spring shirts and winter jackets are enough to consume all their energy and thoughts.

At the intersection of sea and sky, when the first ray of sunshine breaks through the sky, three resounding gongs sounded over the harbor, and the officials of the Shipping Department in Tsing Yi stood on the high platform and sang loudly: "The time has come, open the port!"

The black-and-red sailor, shirtless, shook the huge oars, shouting loudly.

When the first ship left the port, it raised its sails. The huge building ship, carrying life and yearning, rushed to the place where the sun rose like a wind and waves.

Kang Ziyou was sitting in the cabin, watching the farther and farther Ningbo port through the window, and before he had time to express his emotions, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening when he returned.

Looking at the two people entering the door, before Kang Ziyou could say hello, the braided man couldn't help but said, "Second brother, it's a good thing you got on the boat the night before yesterday, and the news just came that it was still dark this morning. The house has been surrounded by people from the capital camp."

Kang Ziyou didn't look worried at all, instead he held his chin and wrote lightly: "Well, it's earlier than I expected. It seems that our Crown Prince is also a decisive person."

The other person who came in with the braided man had a happy face, was white and fat, looked friendly, and was dressed like a shopkeeper.

He sat next to Kang Ziyou out of nowhere, wondering: "Second brother, what on earth are you thinking? A few years ago, you let us infiltrate the Kang family's property. I thought you were going to take over the Kang family. give up?"

Before Kang Ziyou could answer, the braided man said guiltily: "Second brother, is it because of my miss last time? I should fight it out and kill that Ouyang Qing!"

"Hey..., then let the people from the capital camp kill you!"

After Kang Ziyou sneered, he said sincerely, "Xiao Wu, to me, you are much more important than Kang Ziqi."

Seeing Xiao Wu's face moved after hearing this, the friendly man next to him said: "Second brother, you could have just

If the people from the Kang family were to hunt down and kill Ouyang Qing, even if they failed, they would not blame the Kang family for colluding with pirates, at most they would have given up on Kang Ziqi. "

"Heh..., third child, if you don't implicate the Kang family, do you think grandfather would be willing to give up Kang Ziqi?"

Kang Ziyou seemed to have thought of something, and said with a sneer, "Even if grandfather is willing, Kang Yong'an will probably give up some of his family property to protect that bastard if he begs."

After hearing this, the amiable man suddenly realized: "Now that even the Kang family has been involved, Mr. Kang may not be able to take care of both ends of the family business."

Xiao Wu also came to his senses, but still couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The family business is so cheap to the court!"

"Heh..., it's better to cheapen the imperial court than cheapen that old bastard Kang Yong'an." Kang Ziyou said no longer.

Kang Ziyou's dislike for his father was not surprising to the other two. Thinking of the foundation of the Kang family, the amiable man couldn't help but feel sorry for Kang Ziyou and said: "Why did the court suddenly think of rectifying Shibo? It would be better if it was a few years later By then, the Kang family will be in the hands of the second brother."

Kang Ziyou didn't care, and said with disgust, "It's in my hands? Humph... In the end, it's just doing coolies for others. It's not like you don't know how much money the Kang family gives to my second uncle every year." .”

Kang Ziyou's second uncle, Kang Yongnian, inspector censor, once scolded Lin Fangxu for forgetting his identity as a scholar, and even satirized Jiang Shiyun insinuatingly, but was later tricked by Lin Fangxu.

Kang Ziyou didn't hate Lin Fangxu because of his second uncle, he and his second uncle didn't have a good relationship yet.

The biggest reason why he hated Lin Fangxu was that he was the one who proposed the reorganization of Shibo.

Another reason is that a person from a background that is not as good as his own has become famous in the officialdom at a young age, and even climbed up to the younger brother of the Xungui family. This kind of self-esteem Kang Ziyou is very unbalanced. Of course He himself will not admit it.

At this time, he only said with disgust on his face: "Some people want to stand out in front of the emperor, so they take my group of sea merchants under the knife, it is really hateful!"

The person he hates is now smiling and listening to Jiang Shiyun's talk about going to the Kang family to get someone.

Kang Ziqi had already been arrested, Jiang Shiyun still looked contemptuous when he was mentioned, and at this moment he was still a little incredulous: "You don't know, when Commander Chen ordered someone to take Kang Ziqi away, he and her concubine cried. You have to fight to the death, just like singing a big show."

Lin Fangxu held back his laughter, and said in a wicked way: "What kind of singing? I haven't seen it either, and there are people like this."

Jiang Shiyun was a little embarrassed, but Lin Fangxu seemed to really want to know, so he reluctantly said: "When Commander Chen ordered Kang Ziqi to be taken away, he grabbed his concubine's room and said that it would be life and death if he said goodbye at this time. It’s hard to see, and then I told his concubine not to worry about it, but to take care of himself.”

Thinking of Kang Ziqi's concubine, Jiang Shiyun endured the cold again and said: "Her concubine was crying like pear blossoms and raining, and said softly, if Kang Ziqi died, she would not live alone, she would live and die with her husband." Then, in the end, I was crying and trying to bump into a pillar, and was stopped by someone."

In fact, those two people were several times more exaggerated than what Jiang Shiyun said, but he really couldn't learn it, so he could only learn the general idea.

Lin Fangxu was amused by his almost unstoppable expression, and couldn't help teasing: "The performance is so moving, you won't be moved at all if you go to pick someone up?"

After Jiang Shiyun heard this, he disdainfully said: "The two ships of Ouyang's family, hundreds of lives are more moving! When Kang Ziqi ordered people to do it, he had to think about today! Her natal brothers in the concubine's room all participated, I don't believe she doesn't know, why cry now, when her brother and husband beheaded, some she will cry."

Seeing his righteous indignation, Lin Fangxu picked up a candied fruit and fed it into his mouth.

Jiang Shiyun chewed, his complexion turned bright, and he said with a smile in his eyes: "Don't say anything that is moving, the brothers who went to get people are disgusting! Kang Ziqi cried and told his concubine not to hit the pillar At that time, I think even Commander Chen wanted to draw his sword to kill people, haha..."

Lin Fangxu smiled and did not comment, but asked: "What about the rest of the Kang family?"

? ”

After Jiang Shiyun finished laughing, he returned to his serious appearance, and replied: "Master Kang and Kang Yongan are still in the Kang family mansion, and they are probably reporting to Kang Yushi for help. I don't know what the final decision will be. Kang Ziyou didn't arrest anyone, he The book boy said that he went out the night before yesterday and went to sea with a friend to learn more, who knows? Commander Chen has ordered an investigation, but I don't think Mr. Wang and the others are very concerned, they seem to think that Kang Ziyou has nothing to do with the overall situation."

On the contrary, Lin Fangxu didn't care much about other people. When he heard that Kang Ziyou had gone out to sea, he was silent for a while, and then said meaningfully: "Run away, this thief sees opportunities quickly."

Isn't it fast, counting the time, when the steward of the Kang family and the concubine brothers were arrested, he ran away.

Lin Fangxu was sure that Kang Ziyou had absolutely no affection for the Kang family. The Kang family was only on the edge of a cliff, but it was Kang Ziyou who pushed the Kang family into the abyss.

Most of the gangsters that day had nothing to do with the Kang family, they should be Kang Ziyou's own staff, but they don't know what kind of relationship they have with Kang Ziyou.

Thinking of this, Lin Fangxu felt admiration for him. He really deserved to be a man who called wind and rain at sea in his previous life.

The senses between people are really unfair sometimes. If you admire others, most of them will hate you.

If Kang Ziyou, who was approaching his base camp, knew Lin Fangxu's thoughts, he would probably be extremely disdainful. How could he have feelings for the Kang family?

Kang Yong'an doted on his concubine and killed his wife, forcing his own mother to death. Kang Song pretended to reprimand Kang Yong'an and finished the matter. Finally, he wanted to touch the dowry left by his mother.

It's just that none of them underestimated their grandfather, Nangongshan, the famous sea king in Minzhe area.

All the crew and captain of the dowry fleet he gave to his mother had already been arranged, and they only obeyed his mother's orders. After his mother passed away, he only listened to himself.

Kang Song has always wanted the foundation that his grandfather earned, but unfortunately in the end, he found that he could see it, but he couldn't touch it at all.

He didn't even know that his grandfather started his career as a pirate. Didn't Lin Fangxu want to know the relationship between Kang Ziyou and pirates?

Kang Ziyou himself is a pirate!

The power left by Nangong Mountain was later taken over by Kang Ziyou. The older generation who followed grandpa had retired, and the four people in charge now were their descendants, and they were also Kang Ziyou's sworn brothers.

He developed Nangongshan's maritime business even stronger, not only collecting protection fees at sea, but also bought a place the size of a county in Silla as his base camp.

Didn't the prince want to support a group of new sea forces? Kang Ziyou felt that this was a good opportunity, much better than working for the Kang family.
