The Buzhuang is not a small business, and several clerks are busy. Seeing Lin Bai and others coming, they quickly asked: "Sir, what do you want to order?"
Lin Bai was about to speak.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out of the room. He was obviously startled when he saw Lin Bai, and then his face showed ecstasy, and he quickly came up to him, "I've met my uncle!"
As he said this, he scolded a few of the waiters, "Those who have no eyesight, this is my uncle."
Several guys had shocked looks on their faces.
My uncle’s name is well known to everyone, but this is the first time we actually meet him.
Lin Bai looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Do you know me?"
The shopkeeper quickly said: "Sister-in-law, young Song Qing'an's family is in Jiangzhou, and he is a member of the Song family."
I see!
The talented man smiled awkwardly. There was probably no one in Jiangzhou who didn't know him, let alone a member of the Song family.
Lin Bai immediately asked a few simple questions, all about the cloth village.
After all, it is your own property, so you should naturally take care of it if you encounter it.
At the end, Song Qingan suddenly said: "By the way, uncle, I am also in Guinan and currently in Bozhou."
The master in his mouth was naturally Song Qianshan.
Lin Bai was startled for a moment. Old Song Dynasty also came to Guinan?
Could it be because of that incident?
In fact, as early as when Su Mingyue was giving birth, Lao Song went to Kyoto to see him and asked him if he was from the Red Lotus Sect. He also said that the little goblin had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether Lin Bai was from the Red Lotus Sect or not, this uncle He admitted it all.
However, if it’s not, you have to plan for the no, and if it is, you have to plan for the yes.
Lin Bai didn't hide anything and told Lao Song about his amnesia.
And Lao Song also told him something.
That is, the old mother-in-law, the little fairy’s mother, actually comes from the Yang family in Bozhou and is the largest chieftain in Bozhou.
This is why Lao Song said to make plans early.
Once my uncle is really a member of the Red Lotus Sect, there will be no talk of rebellion. At least there must be a way out, so it is probably because of this that he appears in Banzhou.
Lin Bai asked curiously: "How did my father-in-law and my mother-in-law know each other? Do you know?"
He was really curious. Old Song Dynasty, who was not very good-looking, actually came to Guinan and hooked up with a chieftain's daughter. Tsk tsk!
Song Qing'an smiled naively and said: "To be honest with you, I do know a little bit about it. When I came to Guinan with you to do tea business, the place was in Bozhou."
"My wife was being forced to get married by her family. She ran away from home secretly and planned to take a boat along the Shajiang River to Wangjiang River, and then went straight to the south of the Yangtze River. On the way, the Yang family chased me. My wife happened to meet us, and she panicked that she was being hunted by bandits. The master relented. He hid his wife in the cargo and took her to Jiangnan."
"At first, we didn't know the identity of the madam. It wasn't until a few years later, when the old man and I came to Bozhou again that we accidentally heard about it. The old man went back to question the madam, and the madam confessed."
"After the master learned about it, he was afraid that the Yang family would cause trouble, so he asked us not to reveal the identity of the wife..."
Good guy!
Lin Bai called him a good guy.
Just say that the little fairy is so out of touch, and her feelings follow those of the old mother-in-law, just like the old mother-in-law.
Lin Bai asked again: "How dare your father-in-law go to Bozhou now?"
Song Qing'an laughed and said: "It's different now. Now I am a third-rank official in the imperial court and the most talented person in the world..."
All right! This reason seems to be enough.
The talented man felt a little drifting.
"By the way, uncle! The young lady and madam are here too, and may be arriving soon."
What?
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, "The third child is here too?"
Song Qingan nodded, "Yes! News came from Jinling a few days ago, saying that both the madam and the young lady are here."
What is the little goblin doing here? And the old mother-in-law?
Acknowledge?
Are you afraid that something will really happen to you, so you can give yourself a back-up?
Lin Bai's heart felt warm and moved, and he really wanted to catch the little goblin and ravage him.
However, this worry is a bit unnecessary, right? Lao Zhu has already been granted a marriage, how could he still doubt his identity?
It doesn't matter, having such a powerful relative is not a bad thing after all.
Maybe they need help with these things now.
Before setting off, Miss Yan helped him make up for the situation of the southwest chieftains a lot. The Yang family in Bozhou is not only the largest chieftain in Bozhou, but also one of the four major chieftains in Guinan. It is extremely powerful and is said to have been passed down for hundreds of years.
If you can really establish a relationship with them, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit.
Of course, it's still too early to say this at the moment. We can only know the specific situation after the little goblin arrives and meets Lao Song.
He immediately told Song Qingan a few words and asked him to send some things over from Jiangzhou.
Although Guinan is far away from Jiangnan, the Wangwang River runs through the west and east, so the journey is not slow.
Lin Bai was in a good mood after leaving Buzhuang.
If the Bozhou Yang family can be dealt with, not to mention integrating the southwest chieftains, it will be of great help to stabilize the situation in the southwest.
There are many chieftains in Guinan, and the four chief chieftains are the chief among them.
Almost all the other chieftains followed their lead.
The four major chieftains are: Sizhou Tian family, Bozhou Yang family, Shuidong Luo family, and Shuixi'an family.
Among them, the Shuixi'an family has always been more inclined to the imperial court. It is said that their ancestors moved from the interior, and it is also said that they have old grudges with Dali.
Of course, no one knows whether it’s true or not, but that’s what it looks like on the surface.
An's guards appeared around the queen.
Judging from this point alone, there should be no doubt that An was close to the imperial court.
Except for An, the attitude of the other three chieftains towards the imperial court could not be said to be good or bad. Anyway, it was like this. They all developed independently. It would not be easy for them to do whatever the imperial court wanted them to do.
Even the An family is actually the same, everything is based on the chieftain system.
They seem to be independent kingdoms, so what is there to be dissatisfied about.
But if Lao Zhu said that he wanted to integrate the major chieftains, return them to their hometowns, cancel their hereditary official positions, military power, etc., then it would be guaranteed to explode the next day.
To put it bluntly, everything is profit.
From their point of view, it's not wrong. Let them hand over these obediently, and then they can only let the imperial court fish and eat them, of course they won't do it.
So Lao Zhu also knew that it was almost impossible to peacefully integrate the Southwest.
That's why we made arrangements in advance. If the talented man has a way, it's naturally best. If he doesn't, then use force to integrate.
The north has been pacified, the domestic disaster has been alleviated, and the hidden dangers in the south of the Yangtze River have been eliminated. Now is the best time to integrate the southwest.
Of course, Lao Zhu also had scruples. If one move went wrong, it would not only be the chaos in the southwest. In fact, if Zhuge Liannu hadn't given him strong confidence, he probably wouldn't have dared to try.
Even now, I may not really make up my mind.
Lin Bai didn't want to go to that step even more. It was not good to be safe. If he fought in any war, it would be fatal.
However, is it possible to solve the problem peacefully?
Can Boshu Yang play a role?
