This man was Shui Sheng. He heard Zong Bo say that his family had been out of food for several days. When he was anxious, he jumped off Wu Jie's boat and took Zong Bo's fishing boat to rush to the dock first and buy rice to go home.

On the way, he was also upset: he was so confused that he was so confused. He heard that there were many ways to live in Yangzhou, so he took people over to see if he could catch some luck. He stayed there for ten days, but there was no business. Finally, he took a job yesterday. The merchant surnamed Yun was a villain, and the boss named Wu was not a man, so it was impossible for people to hold their breath. If he had known this, he would have been staying in Nanjing!

But what about staying in Nanjing? Is there no hope for a different person?

Shui Sheng is a good idea now, and he is also a leader in the business industry. He also has some face in front of others and behind others. But his family knows that he cannot make money by fighting these days. In the Tao, he depends on connections and relationships. If he doesn’t have these two things, he has to rely on money to pave the way.

When he was a teenager, he was a ruthless character who dared to become famous by the knife. But until today, he only had a dozen subordinates on hand and his territory was pitifully small. Feng Shui treasure land like Xiangpi and casinos is not as good as him.

If you talk about fighting, he is good. But the world has been peaceful for a long time, and merchants gather in Nanjing. Everyone emphasizes harmony and wealth. How can there be so many fights to fight?

Seeing that he couldn't make it anymore, Shuisheng remembered to be a broker on the waterway and make some hard money.

After running this trip, he only made a business in ten days and got dozens of taels of silver. But he had always had a big hand, and after deducting the food and consumption of a few men these days, he only had ten taels left.

Fortunately, these ten or two have been enough for my mother, my sister-in-law and my nephews to eat for several months.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Shui Sheng’s young face.

The boat approached the dock and carried two swordfishes sent by Zong Bo. Just as he was thinking about whether to buy ten kilograms of rice, cut two kilograms of meat, and get some wine to make the family happy, he saw a son bringing a filial wife to come over quickly.

As soon as he saw Shui Sheng, he shouted: "Brother Shui, Brother Shui, it's considered waiting for you."

When Shui Sheng saw that this person was his neighbor, Zhu Mao from Wuyi Lane, a poor boy who failed many times.

But he didn't know the mourning woman next to him.

Shuisheng smiled and said, "Zhu Xiucai, one day I'm gone. Why are you waiting for me today? It's okay. I just got the money and I'm going to have a drink. Let's have a few sips together."

Zhu Sheng blushed and retorted: "I'm not a scholar, I'm just a Tongsheng. Brother Shui, don't talk nonsense. If it's spread, I'll be laughed at by others. I heard that you're going to Yangzhou and come back today. So, I'm just waiting here. I won't eat wine, there's something else."

Shui Sheng asked strangely: "You read your sages, you are a noble reader. I am a bad person. What are you waiting for me?"

Before he finished asking, the woman beside Zhu Mao cried loudly and was about to come forward to hug Shui Sheng's legs.

Shui Sheng was scared and jumped aside: "Who are you? Why did you become like this when you meet?"

The woman just cried, but couldn't speak, which made the water feel depressed.

Zhu Maocai said: "Brother Shui. This woman is Guo Laosan's wife. Guo Laosan seems to be with you."

"Brother Guo San, I'm running on the beach with me, what's wrong?" Shui Sheng looked at the woman, but was shocked. He remembered that Guo Laosan once said that he only had one wife in his family, and no children or old people. This woman is filial to all her body. Could it be: "It turns out that she is my sister-in-law, what's wrong with him, the third brother?"

It would be fine if he didn't ask, but the woman cried even harder when she asked: "The third brother, the third brother...he's gone!"

There are already many people on the pier, and when they see this scene, people keep coming to watch the fun.

"What, the third brother died, how did he die?" Shui Sheng shouted.

"I was beaten to death. Shui Sheng, you have to make the decision for my third brother!"

"Who did it when I was beaten to death?" Shui Sheng gritted his teeth and asked fiercely.

Guo Laosan has known him for more than ten years, and only hang out with him three years ago. He is a timid and unfair person, so why did he die today?

"I was beaten to death by Dong Dalang." Zhu Mao replied.

As soon as he heard the name of this person, Shui Sheng immediately took a breath of air. This person has a lot of origin. A few years ago, he met a person with a status. The man's surname was Luo and he worked as an aide in the Hu Zongxian yamen. For some reason, he fell in love with Dong Dalang's girl and took him as a concubine.

With this relationship, Dong Dalang has been doing well in Nanjing City, running more than a dozen casinos and brothels, and has also done a lot of business and business people.

Although they are both mixed up in the underworld, Dong Dalang and Shui Sheng are not on the same level at all.

"How did you beat him to death?"

Zhu Mao sighed: "It's just a matter of being a gambler. Guo San really likes to bet. He lost money in the Dong family's casino the day before yesterday, and he was cheated, but he was caught."

Shui Sheng said angrily: "Catch it, just beat it up, why do you want to kill someone?" Anger rose in his heart.

Zhu Mao shook his head: "No hit."

"Why..." Shui Sheng was stunned.

Zhu Mao: "Guo Sangang was caught and reported your name. As a result, they also gave face and said that when they saw Shui Sheng's face, this was just like that. But I didn't expect that Guo San was probably in a hurry to lose, and actually grabbed a handful of money and ran away. He was probably too anxious when he ran, and he didn't pay attention when crossing the threshold. He hit the ground and disappeared."

"Ah!" This incident made Shuisheng even more stunned, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

After a long time, he sighed, "This is our reasoning, but it's not easy to blame others."

Zhu Mao: "Who said no? If Dong Dalang is really wrong, I will go to report to the official position and don't have to wait until Brother Shui, you come back. It's really..."

"Speak with something."

Zhu Mao said: "Guo San is friends with you after all. After he died, he had no money to bury him and had been left at home for two days. The weather was hot and it was almost stinking. I heard that Brother Shui ran a boat, so his wife came over to ask if she could borrow some money to buy a thin coffin."

Shui Sheng: "The third brother's business is mine, it should be."

He took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it over: "My third brother can't treat him badly at the age of a handful of age. He has to buy a good coffin."

Guo San's wife took the money and was naturally grateful. She was about to leave.

Shuisheng asked again: "What are your plans for your sister-in-law in the future?"

Guo San's wife burst into tears: "I am from Jiangxi and have no relatives in Nanjing, so I naturally have to go home to seek refuge with relatives and friends."

Shui Sheng gritted his teeth and took out all the money in his arms and handed over: "The journey to Jiangxi is long, and it is inappropriate to have no money to guard against yourself. If you have any intention, your sister-in-law must accept it."

Zhu Sheng also took out a string of money. He counted it, left two, and was about to hand it over.

Shui Sheng stopped him: "Scholar, you are poorer than me, so you will be spared."

After seeing off Guo Sanzi, Shui Sheng smiled and said to Zhu Sheng: "Scholar. I can't tell that you are really good. You are quite righteous. Let's go to my house to have a drink."

Zhu Mao shook his head: "Shame, ashamed, after so many years of exams, he can't even win a scholar. He has no place to stand in a cone and has no tiles to hide the rain. It's rare that Brother Shui is enthusiastic, but he is disrespectful, and he will have a meal with you. But..."

"But what? You are such a man. You just want to drink wine. There is not so much nonsense." He reached out to grab his sleeve.

Zhu Sheng said, "Just just now, I gave all the money on you to Mrs. Guo. Do you still have money to buy wine?"

"Ah!" Shui Sheng realized the seriousness of the problem. Until now, he was notorious. Not to mention inviting someone to drink, he was afraid that even he would be short and hungry.

What’s more serious is what will mother, sister-in-law and nephew eat tonight?

When I think of my mother, Shui Sheng felt ache in his heart.

Zhu Mao handed the money over: "Brother Shui. How many kilograms of rice should I buy with this money first?"

"Who wants your money?" Shui Sheng cursed, "A man is still short of money. Who do you think of me? If you don't believe me, please follow me here. With my Shui Sheng's ability, you will earn a lot of money back. Besides, in a few days, you will have to participate in the Yingtian Mansion Examination. Is it worth buying the Four Treasures of Study? If you become a scholar, our neighbors will also benefit from it. Let's take a look at my Shui Sheng's methods."

"No, no, I haven't won the exam for so many years, so I've given up long ago."

Shui Sheng ignored him anymore, just pulled his sleeve and walked forward.

Soon, the two returned to the waterside of the dock.

Shui Sheng grabbed a foot-strength boss on the water and said, "I have any money, so I borrow a few taels first and pay you back in two days. The old rules are the three-point profit."

This person is also a person on the scene. He used to be a scrambler, but he was ranked among the top ghosts in Nanjing and was familiar with Shuisheng.

The surname Cheng shook his head: "It's a coincidence today, it happened to be nothing."

"You coax the ghost, so much force, after a day, just by squeezing the commission, you will have more than three or three ounces of money."

The man surnamed Cheng shouted: "What I'm coaxing you? Today is our unlucky. Master of the Ministry of Education and Master of the County Master of the Eight Counties of Yingtian Prefecture have all come, saying that he wants to pick up a nobleman from the capital. The yamen runners and soldiers are inspecting the river. Not to mention the boatman, we are both suffering and vomiting blood. Nowadays, no one who is riding the boat now has no money, and if it is not so, they will not have much money. Seeing that the investigation is so strict, they are all hiding. I have been here for a day and have only received more than thirty entries. If you want it, give it to you all."

"Whoever wants you is not asking for advice."

"By the way, Shui Sheng, you just returned to Nanjing from Yangzhou and you can see the official boat along the way. I said that if this noble man could come today, as long as he comes, it will be normal here tomorrow?"

Shui Sheng thought for a while: "The boat I was riding on was from Yangzhou--, and it was only now. Shui Sheng had no other skills, but just sharp eyes. As long as it passed by my eyes, he would never forget anything. From Yangzhou to here, there was no official boat on the river. I guess that noble man would not be able to arrive today!"

The man surnamed Cheng sighed in disappointment and dulled his head.

"No, there is another one..." Shui Sheng suddenly remembered Wu Jie, wasn't that just an official boat? Could it be...

A strange feeling rose from my heart.

As he was talking, he saw the fast ships from the Governor's Office coming quickly and rushed directly to the steps of the dock.

Several ferocious soldiers walked ashore with a merchant who was bleeding and had his fingers cut off, and happened to pass by Shui Sheng's side.

Shui Sheng looked closely and said, who wouldn't be Yun Yi? (To be continued...)
