Chapter 557: Death
The clan elders didn't expect that it was just a little gunpowder, and compared with the gunpowder in the workshop, they sold less than one-tenth of it. However, this point of gunpowder completely angered Hengqing.
The patriarch standing outside Hengqing's house was stunned.
He was kicked out by Hengqing, and was kicked out of the house by a junior who was two generations late. As a clan elder who has been in a high position for a long time, he must not bear it.
Looking at the plaque of the Li Mansion indignantly, the clan elder turned around unwillingly. Failed to say that Dong Hengqing helped, what could he do next? Leaving Hengqing's home, he even had to find a place to stay, fortunately, in the past two years, the Li family has made some money, otherwise, how can he go to live in a dilapidated inn.
The inn chosen by the clan elder is the best inn in the capital, but this inn is also a gentle business. The clan elder went in with the front foot, and the back foot was gentle and knew the situation.
It turned out that not long after the clan elder entered, there were visitors.
The clan elder didn't come to the capital alone, it's just that the people he brought with him have been staying in the dormitory of the academy, and Hengqing drove the clan elder out, although he was quite ruthless, but he still didn't let his face lose in the eyes of the family.
Therefore, the visitors who entered later were definitely not the people brought by the clan elders.
The clan elder never thought that his every move was under the control of those people. As soon as I entered the inn, those people came to me. This batch of gunpowder raw materials is very large, so the other party is very concerned. After all, with such a large amount of gunpowder, if it really gets over, it will be quite easy for Qi Guo to counterattack.
"I've done my best."
Looking at the person in front of him, the clan elder was already terrified to the bottom of his heart. What he said in front of Hengqing was indeed not a lie, and the Li family had really come to the time of life and death.
The Li family is indeed a famous big family in Tongzhou, but this family is a scholarly family, and to put it bluntly, it has the same urine as the Gu family. Originally, I didn't look down on Ah Block, and the usual expenses were all raised by the descendants. The only people who have the ability to make money to support their families are Hengqing's father and brother.
However, both of them died. The Li family, who is sitting on empty mountains, has no choice but to pick up the most disdainful business before, the businessman.
Lin Jiaqin is a businessman, and it is because he has taken Wen Wan's car, and with the help of a cross-era boss like Wen Wan, it is difficult to succeed or not. However, the Li family does not have such conditions, and the so-called noble life has made them forget how to be an ordinary person. So, doing business with two women is simply impossible!
However, there is no endless road, and they still found a good way, a way to make money, but they don't need to look at Wen Wan's face.
In the beginning, food was sold. The two major granaries of Dayong are Quzhou and Tongzhou. Tongzhou experienced that drought, and the next two years were all smooth, not to mention, there are still countless useful farm tools to help. Therefore, the business of selling grain to Qi is very good, and the money is easy to make.
Next, there is gunpowder.
The Li family originally didn't want to take the road of gunpowder. However, there are really not many people who can keep calm after making money, and if the clan elders can do it, the people below can't do it. The gunpowder mixed in the grain was delivered several times, and the clan elder found the initiator.
He is his only grandchild.
I couldn't bear to punish him, and I couldn't bear to let my grandson be blackmailed by those people, and in the end, the clan elder could only take risks, and as a result, the gunpowder fell into the hands of Marquis Wu.
"I don't think you have done your best, your grandson, it's really unlucky to have your grandfather." The burly man sat on the main seat with his butt in his head, drank water with his hand, and there was no clan elder in his eyes.
However, the clan elder can only admit it. What can I do if my child is in the hands of others!
"How smart Li Jia is, it's impossible for you not to know, this time we have already startled the snake, next time, next time we must be careful." The patriarch walked around twice in front of the man, and finally could only pray like this.
It's a pity that the man didn't give him the opportunity to pray.
"We're going to have to get a lot of gunpowder. If you can't do this thing well, we will find someone else to do it, and there should be a lot of people in the Li family in Linjiang who are willing to do it. ”
Leaving this sentence, the man got up and left. The sound of opening and closing the door was loud, showing the man's anger.
The transaction with the Li family has always been to sell the money first and then see the goods. This time, the silver came out, but the goods were gone. Next, with the ability of the Li family, it is impossible to get the goods again.
The patriarch sat on the ground dejectedly. He didn't have the strength to climb back into his chair.
"What's wrong with you, old man?" The door was not closed tightly, and Xiao Er, who was carrying the kettle, saw the eyes of the clan elder, entered the door directly, and intimately helped the clan elder back to the chair: "Old man, our inn is the best inn in the capital, if there is anything, press this bell to call us over." ”
Only then did the patriarch realize that there was a bell in the center of the table.
"Okay." The patriarch's voice was dry, and although the bell was there, he didn't take a second look.
Bells, is it comparable to grandchildren? Li Jia, so ruthless, can his grandson still live well? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy the clan elder became, and the uneasy clan elder naturally didn't notice that Xiao Er's walking posture was much more powerful than ordinary people.
Xiao Er, who was wearing a white towel, closed the door as soon as he went out. Then he straightened up. Xiao Er, who originally looked a little obscene, turned into a sturdy young man.
The young man, carrying a teapot in one hand and the other on a railing, jumped down from the second floor and poured tea for the guests at the table next to him to a round of applause. After a few clicks, the teapot was empty, and Xiao Er jumped to the back kitchen with a smile and never came out again.
Hengqing was so angry with the rotten things at home that he couldn't do anything. There is an old man in the family who is like a treasure, but how can so many elders of the Li family watch the Li family run wildly towards a road of no return!
If it's something else, if it's something else, if Hengqing really doesn't take a hand, he can't forgive himself. However, at this stall, such a thing as gunpowder, let alone the Li family, even if you balance yourself, you can't touch it!
Now, in the northwest, the heroic spirits have not dispersed, how can this kind of thing be let go!
At night, Hengqing hugged Gu Xi and was silently in a daze. Gu Xi Gu Xi, think about the wolf guard and eagle guard who sacrificed in the west to protect him, think about the scene when he saved Rong Bai, Heng Qing really didn't know how to face himself, face the Li family, and face Rong Bai.
It's a bit strange to balance these two days.
Rong Bai was grinning, but she could feel this strange look. After all, Hengqing, who used to be by her side all day long, now spends most of the night in the study, and often looks at Gu Xi in a daze.
Rong Bai wrapped his coat and walked into Hengqing's study.
