The white-covered boat sailed back to Suzhou City and parked directly at the Xujia Pier in the Humble Administrator's Garden.
Xu Fan actually greeted him at the pier in person.
¡°My younger brother has been held captive for three full days, and he still doesn¡¯t dare to tell the old man in Songjiang¡¯s hometown.
After returning to his hometown, Mr. Xu Ge fell ill. If he knew about Xu Kun and got angry, the Xu family's sky would collapse.
Therefore, Xu Fan was very anxious and wanted to get Xu Kun back as soon as possible. In addition to asking Lin Xunjian to help put pressure on Kunshan County, he also spent a lot of money to hire Wang Zhideng, the most talented man in Suzhou, to work as a lobbyist on Xishan Island. Let¡¯s see how the person named Zhao can be released?
Wang Zhideng is a disciple of Wen Zhengming. He has a rare talent and a long-lasting talent. He is considered the successor of the four great talents in Jiangnan and is known as the leader of Suzhou poetry circle.
Isn¡¯t Zhao Hao known as the ¡®fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s poetry circle¡¯? In Xu Fan's opinion, the two people should have a good rapport with each other, and maybe the one named Zhao can give the one named Wang some face.
When Uncle Xu, who was full of expectations, saw Wang Dacai's lips turned white, his face ashen, and his hair disheveled being carried out of the cabin, he was shocked.
"What kind of fuss is going on?" Xu Fan saw Wang Zhideng's group's clothes stained with traces of mud and water plants, and asked in shock, "Have you been a guest at the Dragon Palace?"
"That's about it. Let a little kid plant a lotus" Wang Zhideng said tremblingly.
"Huh? Did Zhao Hao throw you into the water?" As expected, the enemy knows the enemy best, and Xu Fan hit the nail on the head.
"I haven't seen Mr. Zhao" Wang Zhideng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just giving up to this little kid and throwing him into the water over and over again."
"That little brat is Zhao Hao!" Xu Fan closed his eyes depressedly.
"Huh?" Wang Zhideng's jaw dropped in shock. "He's still a child?!"
¡°What do you think?¡± Xu Fan sighed speechlessly, as expected, ¡®he is a useless scholar¡¯.
Hey, why is this poem so annoying? It turns out it was written by Zhao Hao!
¡°Bah, cross this sentence out.
"Then I haven't seen the second master either." Xu Fan sighed in disappointment.
"I really saw it" Wang Zhideng was about to express his merit, but then stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong with him? Is he injured? He's missing an arm or a leg?" Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Xu Fan's heart tightened and he asked quickly: "Or is it that he was tortured and bruised all over his body?"
¡°I wasn¡¯t injured, I was just forced to work by them¡¡± Wang Zhideng sighed.
"That's okay" Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He just had to do some work. It was just a little dirty and tiring, but he wouldn't be missing any arms or legs. "What did they ask him to do?"
"Pour the night fragrance" Wang Zhi's voice sounded like a mosquito.
"What?!" Xu Fan couldn't believe his ears. "What kind of fragrance do you want to make?"
"It's just pushing the dung cart to dump the night fragrance." Wang Dacai sighed again. His mind is no bigger than Mr. Zhao's.
Zhao Hao humiliated him like this, so of course he had to stir up anger in front of Xu Fan so that the Xu family could kill Zhao Hao.
"It's just emptying the toilet" The attendant beside Xu Fan quickly whispered the translation for fear that the uncle wouldn't be able to hear him.
"I want you to talk too much! I know what you mean!" Xu Fan turned angry at him with a dark face, and said bitterly: "Starting tonight, all the night fragrance in the Humble Administrator's Garden will be yours!"
"Ah" Chang Sui fainted.
¡°Get out, get out!¡± Xu Fan dismissed the useless Wang Zhideng, and then paced back and forth on the dock angrily.
He only felt that his face was feverish, and his stomach was full of evil fire with nowhere to vent. The boy named Zhao is so unscrupulous!
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated! How could the reputation of the Xu family, the largest wealthy family in the southeast, be allowed to be humiliated like this? !
If you don¡¯t come back with revenge immediately, where will the Xu family¡¯s face be? Put it under your crotch as a butt!
Xu Fan finally couldn't hold back his raging anger, and ordered his subordinates with a dark face: "Immediately send an order to Kunshan to start tonight! Burn him clean!"
"Yes!" The steward immediately accepted the order, boarded the boat at the pier and left the city, sailed down the Loujiang River, and arrived in Kunshan in more than half an hour, conveying the uncle's order in place.
??~~
It was the longest day of the year, and as soon as it got dark, the watchman knocked on the first watch.
"Fire and water are merciless, beware of fire and candle"
In the big house at the end of Xitang Street, a group of people including Goat Beard, Da Zhizi and Stuttering got together again to report on their respective progress.
"Today, after watching the whole day in the City God's Temple, five grain boats arrived at the dock as usual, and two more boats went out to deliver grain to the embankment." Da Zhizihui reported.
"It's been like this every day for the past half month. There should be forty-five ships and eighteen thousand shi of food stored in the warehouse. It's really a lot." Goatee twirled his goatee, nodded with satisfaction, and asked another question. One person asked: "What's going on with the night patrol?"
"Let's find out, the leader of the Guiwang squad in Southeast City patrols the night. He has sixteen white servants who patrol in two shifts every night. It takes about a quarter of an hour to pass by the reserve warehouse."
"Well, a quarter of an hour should be enough." Goatbeard pondered for a while and then said to the man: "You can bring another ten people to the Fangjia Lane. If the patrol comes back early or there is no fire when they come back, you will Just try to hold them back."
"Hey, okay." The man nodded in agreement.
"How is Curry's situation?" Goatee asked Nastammer again.
"Tang, Ambassador Tang Pu will go home tonight. Liu, Deputy Ambassador Liu is taking ten Kudins to look at the library." He stuttered and said, "Already, there is already a Kudin, take it." , took our money. Said, Deputy Ambassador Liu went to bed early and felt that it was the fourth watch."
"Wait, wait as soon as Deputy Liu falls asleep, he will open the back door. Then, start by setting up a bet, Ku, Ku Ding, everyone likes to play and play with money."
"When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to sneak in through the back door and set fire?" Goatee couldn't hold it in any longer and rushed to speak for him.
"No," he stuttered, "that's right."
Goatee rolled his eyes, thinking that he thought something was wrong.
"When is the right time?"
"Three, three o'clock in the morning."
¡°Where is the door to the warehouse?¡±
"Yes, there is a spare key." Although he stutters, he does things more efficiently than ordinary people. Otherwise, Goatee would not entrust such an important matter to him.
"That's good." Goatee asked again if the kerosene and the retreating ships were ready. After getting a satisfactory answer, he said solemnly:
"I just received the order from the uncle before dark. Let's do it tonight and burn him completely!"
¡°Yes!¡± Everyone responded in unison.
"Everyone, the uncle said that as long as this is done beautifully, you will all be included in the Xu family tree!" Goatee said in a deep voice: "What does this mean? I don't need to repeat it, right?"
"I will not let you down, and do your best to serve the Xu family!" A group of fake Xu family members shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, please keep your voice down." Goatee was shocked to the point where his ears were buzzing. He rolled his eyes at everyone and said in a slower tone: "Have a rest for half an hour and set off on the second watch!"
¡°Yes!¡± Everyone responded in unison.
