In order to deceive others, Peng Ji and her party are all dressed as businessmen, as Mei Hua originally decided. Peng Ji and Fa Yi are brothers, Liu Chunxi is a cousin, and the rest are long-term servants.

As soon as they arrived at the port of Quanzhou, before disembarking, they heard a noise. When they got out of the cabin, they saw that the gate of the Wanggang Pavilion not far away was crowded with people, and all of them held sticks in their hands. make trouble.

Wanggang Pavilion is not a small pavilion, but a subordinate yamen set up by the imperial court in each port with frequent trade exchanges, which is under the management of the local magistrate's yamen.The person who risked his life to go to Beijing to report this matter was the little pavilion chief of Wanggang Pavilion, and the direct leader was the port chief of Wanggang Pavilion.

Peng Ji took the lead and led the crowd to the gate of the Port Watching Pavilion, and stood with a group of ordinary people who were watching other people's affairs. Under such circumstances, it was not so eye-catching.

Fa Yi stared at the push and pull between the strong man in front and the yamen servant at the door, the big man only shouted "Let's go in and see the port chief", and those behind him also echoed.

She moved a few steps to the side, and asked a guy next to him who was watching the good things, "Hey, what are they doing? Are there grievances to sue?"

In fact, you shouldn’t come to the Wanggang Pavilion if you want to file a grievance. This Wanggang Pavilion is used to deal with disputes in the port. Usually, merchants come to seek an explanation when there is a quarrel between businessmen.

The guy seemed to be waiting for someone to talk to him, and he started talking non-stop, "What's wrong with this? These are all people who work in the port. I heard that they didn't receive their salary for a year. Why don't you come looking for it?" Mayor please settle this matter." He glanced left and right again, and said softly, "What kind of injustice is this? If you want to talk about injustice, who in the dozens of counties in Quanzhou is not injustice?" After saying this, he waved his hands, "Didn't say it, pretend it wasn't..."

Fa Yi still wanted to pull him back to stand back and explain in detail, but the young man was glared at by the strong man who was originally pushing and pulling with the yamen servant, and walked away dejectedly.

Fa Yi had no choice but to give up.

The strong man seemed to have noticed the new faces in Fa Yi's business, frowned as if remembering something, glared at Fa Yi, and ran away with the group of troublemakers.

The yamen servants haven't reacted yet, today's farce is over, but it will last a whole day like in the past, when there is no good show to watch, everyone will disperse.

Fa Yi thought for a while, then walked to Peng Ji's side, "Second brother, we've finished watching the fun, let's go to the inn and stay." She purposely spoke louder so that the yamen servants could hear .

Now their identities are not suitable for people to find out, Peng Ji didn't look at her, she just said "Let's go" and walked towards the city, followed by everyone.

Fa Yi took a step back, and didn't bother to catch up, and only at this time could she sneak a second look at the man from behind.

It's been a long time since Fayi had a good conversation with Peng Ji since we talked about it last time, what Peng Ji said to her the most these days is "um", "ke" and "let's go".As for being sad, she was sad every day, but she could only keep it in her heart and dare not express it on the surface.

She has no right to be sad at all, let alone show it.

The ones who stayed were still Fengyuan Inns all over the country. This time, Meihua didn't even ask, and asked directly where the Fengyuan Inns in the city were.

The Fengyuan Inn in Quanzhou City is more luxurious than the ones I have stayed in before. This Fengyuan Inn is as high as three floors and occupies an area smaller than half a street.

Seeing this situation, Zhuxiang couldn't hold back and said, "This inn is much bigger than the Fengyuan store in Jingzhou. It stands to reason that no matter how good an inn is, it would not dare to open such a big business. In case the business During the recession, there are so many empty rooms, it’s not a loss.”

Fa Siqi looked at her with contempt, "What do you know, the Fengyuan Inn in Quanzhou is the one that makes the most money."

Zhu Xiang scolded, "You know a lot about this long follower, so tell me, why is this the most profitable one?"

Now it was difficult for Fasiqi, she just heard what the patriarch said, as for the specific reason, how would she know.

"Young master, do you think I'm right?" It doesn't matter if you don't know, the patriarch must know.

At the beginning, it was the patriarch who made the decision to build the most luxurious inn in Quanzhou.

When Fa saw that Fa Siqi and Zhuxiang were going to fight again, he said helplessly, "The bigger the inn is, the higher the cost will be. Just like what you said, if the business is in a downturn, the vacant inn will be empty." If there are too many rooms, you will not be able to get back your capital, and you will have to continue to lose money. But the inn business in Quanzhou has not been in a downturn in recent years, and the money spent should have been collected long ago."

Liu Chunxi also got excited, "Then how does the big cousin believe that the business of the inn in Quanzhou in recent years will definitely be good?"

They were led up to the third floor by Xiaoer, and after listening to their conversation, they also smiled and waited for Fayi's answer.

Fayi is the one who walks in the back, so you don’t have to be afraid of people blocking the back, just walk slowly, “Quanzhou is the only port that connects to the other three countries at the same time, and it is also the most convenient port for goods to go by water, not to mention other Just talking about our own merchants in Tianjin, every year there are hundreds of rice merchants, large and small, going to the Gangong to transport grain back to the country."

As she spoke, she noticed that Fa Siqi and the others in front had stopped, and when she looked up, she saw Peng Ji standing on the stairs, frowning and staring at her.

"Brother, what did you say?" After she finished speaking, she strode forward.

She just didn't like the way this man seemed to be very smart, especially after she knew that Fengyuan Inn belonged to the Legalist family, she couldn't hear the man who seemed to know everything.

It seemed that she had lost to this person in opening an inn.

However, she still remembers that if she wanted the Fengyuan Inn, she said she would give it away.

Why did she remember the previous incident again? Peng Ji forced her mind to think of nothing, and just strode into the room, before she turned around and said, "Brother, please come in and explain."

Fa Yi couldn't believe it, Peng Ji called her in?See her alone?

A narrative?what?It's not been a long time since the two of you have seen each other, what do you want to talk about?

Liu Chunxi approached Fa Yi, and said softly: "My son-in-law, don't hurry up, you have to seize the opportunity." After she finished speaking, she patted Fa Yi on the shoulder.

She really wanted the two of them to stop being awkward. It was very embarrassing for her to walk together all the way.

After entering the room, the upper room of Fengyuan Inn was indeed so spacious, Peng Ji was already sitting at the tea table and waiting.

"Please sit down, son-in-law." After entering the room, Peng Ji stopped hiding her identity.

Fa Yi still wasn't sure what Peng Ji wanted to say, so he sat down nervously.

She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that Peng Ji will completely annoy her and want to make peace with her now and drive her away.

Go now, she doesn't want to.I didn't make any mental preparations, thinking that I would never see her in the future, my heart, liver, spleen and lungs felt uncomfortable.

"My son-in-law just now, but what did you ask?" Peng Ji looked businesslike.

Fa Yi groaned, but she didn't react, His Highness just wanted to ask this?

Peng Ji frowned, "In front of the yamen, what did the son-in-law ask from the people?"

After confirming that Peng Ji just wanted to ask about this matter, Fa Yi relaxed a little and started talking about the business.

"The time was urgent just now. I can only hear that the group of people was making a fuss because they didn't get their wages for working in the port for a year. As for whether they are refugees, we need to investigate secretly at night."

Peng Ji nodded, "Well, apart from this, I didn't find out anything else?" She didn't believe it, and went out of her way to find out about it.

Peng Ji herself didn't realize that her approval of Fa Yi was so high in her heart.

Fa Yi thought for a while, and then said all his conjectures, "The meaning of that person's words seems to be that there are hidden secrets in a large area of ​​Quanzhou, and I am afraid that it is the reason why refugees are everywhere."

"What do you mean by that?"

Fa Yi told Peng Ji what the man said, and made his views clear.

It is nothing more than that there may be a major event concealed in the whole of Quanzhou, and this is the reason why there are suddenly refugees. Even the case of the Quanzhou prefect being exterminated is closely related to it. After all, the prefect is the one who can control the entire Quanzhou. "Of course, this minister is completely guessing, and the specific facts need to be thoroughly investigated."

She said so, but she had already confirmed the truth in her heart.With the news that the ladies and gentlemen got in Quanzhou, she can basically figure out the whole thing.

At this time, Meihua knocked on the door and came in to report that the large team had already arrived in Quanzhou and was expected to enter the city early in the morning.

After the report was over, he retreated wisely.

Fa Yi explained his plan, "Your Highness, when it gets dark, I will take Si Qi out to explore. Your Highness, please remember that you should not make a high-profile appearance in front of people before joining the big team."

After she finished speaking, she felt that her words were too blunt, so she added, "I heard that the magistrate newly sent by His Majesty used to be the magistrate of a county below Jingzhou. The county magistrate has met His Highness before, if he recognizes His Highness, he will definitely cause trouble."

Peng Ji didn't respond, "I know. The son-in-law is going out today, so be careful."

After finishing speaking, Peng Ji repented and wanted to take back what she had said. Why did she say something that sounded like she cared about this person?

Fa Yi couldn't believe it, did Peng Ji care about herself?Yes, this is obviously worrying about myself.

She was a little happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will be careful. As I said, as long as I don't want to, no one can hurt me."

Peng Ji gave a cold snort, "You said the same thing last time, what happened later? Do you still remember?"

The worry in my heart that day, the fear that something happened to her was still in front of me, and I dared to speak so boldly again.

As soon as she mentioned the injury, she couldn't help but think of the time the two of them had.

Even if I knew in my heart that it was all an illusion, I still couldn't help thinking about it.

At that time, I was happy and moved by this person, but also worried, sad, and shed tears for this person.

Her mood dropped, she desperately wanted to get out of those days and forget everything that happened with Fa Yi, but it was still so difficult.

Sometimes she even feels impulsive, why don't you ask her, if she is willing to let go of everything in Jingzhou, she is also willing to let go of everything and stay by my side.But after all, he was overwhelmed by his own reason and stopped humiliating himself.

Fa Yi also seemed to feel Peng Ji's unhappiness, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and just replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, the accident of that day will not happen again."

"Okay, let's get back." Peng Ji didn't want to see her dangling in front of her eyes again.

Because as long as she is in front of her eyes, the words she speaks, the blink of an eye, and that eloquent mouth can remind her of those illusions in the past.

Fa Yi got up obediently, and was about to retreat, but Peng Ji called again, "Consort."

Fa turned around, "The wine is here."

"You said that day that you wanted to send Fengyuan Inn to Bengong, but is it true?"

All the things she said in the past were lies, she was a complete liar, even though Peng Ji knew this in her heart, she still wanted to give Fa Yi a chance, if she was willing, she would never lie to herself again , Tell myself all the truth, and I am willing to stay by my side honestly in the future.

If she has a good impression of herself, it is not entirely hypocritical, she is also willing to try to make some sacrifices to grow old with herself.

Then, she can also erase everything from the past and start over with her.

She doesn't mind that Fa Yi is a woman, and she is willing to accept that she once approached her with a purpose. As long as she is willing to like her, then what if she suffers from amnesia?

Peng Ji quietly waited for Fa Yi's answer.
