Chapter 1104: The sore feet of the Marquis of Dingguo
The sound came from outside the house, and then the curtain was lifted, and six or seven people entered, led by a middle-aged man with a cane.
This person is a little thin, but his eyes are attentive, and the crutches on the ground snap and clatter collide as he walks, which seems dense and regular, and when people listen to it, they can't help but focus their attention on it.
"It turned out to be Mr. Huang!"
When the people of the room saw him, they left their tables and saluted them.
"Mr. Huang came here at this time, there must be something to teach me. ”
Mr. Huang waved his hand and said, "A few polite, Huang came this time after hearing Lu Yuanwai mention the matter of Dingguohou's eastward trip." As he spoke, another man walked out beside him.
This man was about fifty years old, with half-white hair and a rickety body, and he looked like a little old man, but as long as he was from Zezhou, there was no one who didn't know this little old man now.
This person's name is Lu Jin, like Na Lei Yuan and others, he is also one of the four major businessmen in Zezhou, and he can be called the head of the four, whether it is wealth or power, he surpasses the other three, and his ancestors have also had a heyday, and he was one of the families, but unfortunately the family fell halfway.
But seeing that the Lu family is about to fall, there are people who have a different face, turn to business, lay the foundation, and then several heroes were born one after another, and once again made a difference in the imperial examination.
Even now, one of the sons and two grandsons of the old man Lu are also famous, and the most prominent grandson is an official in Hebei Province.
In fact, the reason why the four major businessmen in Zezhou were able to connect with the thieves in Tiangang was because of the son of Old Man Lu who was in the matchmaking, and when it came to proximity, the relationship between the Lu family and the anti-army was much closer than the other three.
If it weren't for Old Man Lu, who considered safety considerations. Categorically, I will not introduce other companies to join in and share the profits-
If only the Lu family is engaged in smuggling with the anti-army, this is actually a great risk, because driven by interests, other businessmen who cannot get benefits will pay a price for this, and they will not hesitate to report to the officials.
It was based on this consideration that Old Man Lu tried his best to override the opinions within the Lu family and introduced the other three families to participate.
In this way, the interests are protected. The other three families worked together with the Lu family to use various channels and means to cover up the news as much as possible, and constantly increase the scale of this trade route.
It's just that there are two sides to everything, there must be advantages and disadvantages, in Old Man Lu's original plan, their cooperation with the rebels will not last too long, once they have earned enough. will stop immediately - after all, with the changes in the situation in Darui, even the most pessimistic people do not think that with a few bandits and horses in Qilu and Hebei. can threaten the safety of the entire dynasty.
What the grassland people and the White Lotus Sect have not done, what can such a few teams do?
It's a very simple logic, unless you can predict the prophet, anyone in the game. None of them would have thought that a huge empire would collapse with a bang.
It's just that it's easy to get on board. It is difficult to get off the boat, Old Man Lu and they have their own considerations, but the anti-army side is not a fool, they have their own ways to control the other party, and after a series of intrigues, they have mastered a lot of tricks of the Lu family and other businessmen, and use this as a threat.
As a result, this bizarre way of cooperation continues in the game between the two sides, and according to the normal trajectory, the game will not end until one side has obtained enough chips, or one side is completely wiped out materially.
But a Qiu Yan was killed halfway, carrying many traces of past killings, not to mention the merchants of Zezhou, even the Gangdi thieves themselves were very worried-in the recent period, they were defeated by the new army, which was inextricably linked to Qiu Yan, and retreated again and again.
When the army was just raised, the preparations for the thieves were sufficient, and there were even the corresponding thieves in Hebei Province, and the two sides hit it off, and the land under their control was expanding rapidly.
In the past, the north was affected by natural disasters, and there were often grassland people who came in to fight the grass valley, so the population was not much compared to the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the official roads and facilities were destroyed.
Not to mention, in order to prevent border troubles, the front line in the north is full of military towns, most of which are soldiers of a hundred battles, so it has never been easy to rebel in this place.
If the thief hadn't seen the shape and knew that if he didn't fight at this time, he would have no chance in the future, and he probably wouldn't have raised the anti-flag lightly.
Even so, this is still after Nawu Siping took the soldiers and horses and went out of the customs again, he dared to break out, this is also the sporadic resistance on the grassland, which can involve the idea of the border army, so that the people in the cottage want to fight quickly and fight a time difference.
But the reality was very cruel, the border army did not move, and the new army that could be pulled from Guanzhong was blinded at once, but the arrow had to be fired, forcing them to use factors outside the battlefield to find a way out of the predicament.
Mr. Huang came here because of these considerations.
"Gong Lu, why did I disappear today, it turned out that I came with a distinguished guest. ”
Here, after Lei Yuan and the others saluted, their eyes fell on the old man Lu again.
Old man Lu smiled, held his long beard and said: "The marquis of Dingguo came to the east, the person who came was not good, the old man expected that you must have doubts, and it happened that he received a letter from Mr. Huang, so he invited him over to conspire with him." ”
"Complicity?"
Hearing these four words, the other businessmen led by Lei Yuan jumped in their hearts, and subconsciously looked at the people who came with Mr. Huang and Old Man Lu.
These people look taller and taller, but each of them has a glint in their eyes, the temples are high and bulging, and at first glance, they are not shallow in cultivation, and there is an undisguised evil aura between Gu Pan, if they are released to kill, they are definitely good hands-
In fact, this is not the first time, last time Old Man Lu also discussed a "big event" with everyone, and the final result was to kill another big family in the city by the hands of thieves, and now Lei Yuan and others are afraid that he will repeat his old tricks.
"I can't help it. ”
Worried, Lei Yuan trembled with a fat face and persuaded: "That Dingguo Marquis is an important minister of the imperial court, and he has an extraordinary experience, we can't do such a person!"
Even before Old Man Lu and the others came in, Lei Yuan and the other businessmen were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they didn't know what to do, they didn't have such thoughts.
"Boss Lei, you misunderstood. ”
It was Mr. Huang who opened his mouth to relieve the siege, and he heard a smile: "Let's do things, pay attention to a worthy heart, all of them are right, sit upright, and do the right thing for the sky! ”
"This ......" Hearing this, Lei Yuan and the others were immediately stunned, and looked at Mr. Huang with a little sluggishness and incomprehension, as if they were looking at a madman.
You must know that the Marquis of Dingguo will come over, and everyone present knows that they are coming to accept the submission of the thieves of heaven and earth, but Mr. Huang, one of the enemy soldiers in the god position, is clearly going to turn the other way and surrender a prince of the imperial court, a humane Confucian, and a military master!
It's a fantasy!
But looking at Mr. Huang's confident expression, how could Lei Yuan and the others ask the question in their hearts?
So, what followed was another drama of mutual humility, but in the end, Mr. Huang still fell unceremoniously on the main seat in the recommendation of everyone, and everyone else was on both sides, which was regarded as an expression of attitude.
"Huang knows, you are a little dissatisfied with what you just said," as soon as Mr. Huang sat down, he finally stopped talking and going around in circles, and directly said the most relevant thing to everyone, "But the matter is man-made, this time to raise the banner of uprising, it is our Zhongyi Village up and down for a long time, thoughtful decision, thanks to your help, now since you have encountered difficulties, how can we stand idly by, even if this matter is difficult, then we have to do it!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man Lu, Lei Yuan and the others inevitably had another burst of gratitude, but in their hearts, they were secretly scolding.
"This person should not be faceless, the Dingguo Marquis went on patrol, which was originally attracted by you, but now we are suffering, not to mention, even if your goal can be achieved, it is still your ...... to find benefits."
scolded and scolded, but they also knew that they could only count on this surnamed Huang at this time, and what to do was still a clue.
These doubts were quickly asked by Lei Yuan and others.
Mr. Huang responded indifferently: "Needless to say, we have our own way." ”
Lei Yuan pleaded: "We must know that Mr. You are resourceful and will not be untargeted, but a few of us are limited by our vision, and this news of Dingguohou has already become a mess, and now we are even more restless, sir, you can probably reveal a little, so that we can feel at ease." ”
Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally nodded and said, "It's okay, then Huang will reveal a little, in addition to calming everyone's hearts, I also hope that you can cooperate." ”
"Yes, yes, we will cooperate, sir, please speak. ”
Mr. Huang listened, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This time, the key is to grasp the sore feet of the Marquis of Dingguo, start with the things he cares about the most, and make others jealous, so that they can handle it." ”
Lei Yuan and the others who said this looked at each other, and finally Lei Yuan asked cautiously: "Although we live here and have not had contact with the Marquis of Dingguo, we have also heard that he is like a living sage, what kind of pain can such a person have?" (to be continued......)
