Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Show 2
When Xuanwu heard this, he really looked at Qinglong on the side with doubts in his eyes: "Brother Qinglong, what he said is true?"
As long as Qinglong said "yes", Xuanwu had no doubts. Because she believed in him.
Qinglong didn't even glance at the white tiger who was grabbed by the collar and kept trying to squeeze his eyebrows at him, and coldly spit out five words that almost didn't make the white tiger vomit blood: "Fuhu." Drunk heavenly fragrance. ”
As soon as the white tiger heard Qinglong's words, his only thought was: It's over!
Xuanwu was stunned when he heard Qinglong's words, and then looked at the white tiger in front of her who was still holding her collar with a cold face, and even the words he said had a cold aura: "White Tiger, you dare to lie to me!"
"No, I swear!" blurted out the words of denial without thinking.
Looking at the girl with a gloomy face in front of him, Bai Hu suddenly regretted his mistakes: Oh my God! Why did he agree to marry Xuanwu in the first place? This is even more terrifying than the rumored tigress! Master, he regrets it, he regrets it very much, can he regret it?!!
Before Xuanwu was powerful, the door that had been closed since evening finally opened from the inside, and then Zhu Zimo, who was dressed in a blue coarse cloth robe, appeared at the door.
Zhu Zimo's appearance successfully rescued the white tiger who was about to fall into the "eighteenth layer of hell" in the anger of Xuanwu.
Seeing that the closed door was opened, the four people standing in the brightly lit courtyard did not dare to play anymore, Xuanwu also loosened the collar of the white tiger and put away his angry face, and the four of them all stood in a row according to their respective names.
The green dragon is first on the right, then to the left is the white tiger, then the Xuanwu, and finally the Vermilion Bird. The four of them all lowered their eyebrows and looked very respectful, and they couldn't see Fang Cai's noisy appearance at all.
I saw that the four of them, the green dragon, the white tiger, the Xuanwu and the Suzaku were clasping their fists at Zhu Zimo at the same time, and called in unison: "Master." ”
The canopy, the color of ink, is dotted with only a few stars, making the night seem extremely cold. The lights in this small courtyard are still bright, in stark contrast to the cold and silent night.
Zhu Zimo, who was standing on the edge of the door, swept his cold eyes over the four people standing respectfully not far away, and asked lightly: "You said that Zhu Hui wants me to raise 10,000 taels of silver in a month, what should I do?"
The four of them, the Qinglong White Tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku were stunned when they heard Zhu Zimo's question, and Suzaku immediately took a step forward and said, "If the master needs it, the Suzaku can send ten thousand taels of silver to the master's mansion tomorrow." ”
Zhu Zimo looked at the Suzaku standing in front of the three of them expressionlessly, and spit out a sentence lightly: "If someone suddenly sends 10,000 taels of silver to your house, will your family not be suspicious?"
Although the words are cold and concise, they are very clear.
"This ......" Suzaku was suddenly speechless when asked, and had to retreat to his place with an embarrassed face.
Suzaku really didn't think about it in that way, just because Suzaku had always remembered that all the wealth he had now belonged to his grandfather, and as long as his master needed it, even if he let him give it with all his hands.
After Suzaku retreated, Xuanwu immediately took the initiative to take a step forward, and asked Zhu Zimo with a respectful attitude: "Master, Xuanwu doesn't understand, Master, your wealth is already rich and rivals the country, why do you still need that little Zhu family's property? Although all the properties of the Zhu family add up to ten million taels of gold, it is not worth mentioning at all compared to the wealth you have secretly accumulated. ”
Zhu Zimo didn't answer Xuanwu, but instead paced to a place two meters away from the white tiger and stood still, his eyes swept to the white tiger, and his tone was cold: "White Tiger, tell me why I want the Zhu family's property now?"
"Ye doesn't want the Zhu family's property, on the contrary, the master not only doesn't want it, but also disdains it very much, so the master has never taken the initiative to ask about the Zhu family's industry, and now the master suddenly wants the Zhu family's industry, it must be because the master has a reason to want, and his subordinates believe that it is not the master who covets the Zhu family's industry. ”
The named White Tiger took a step forward and stood side by side with Xuanwu, did not look at Zhu Zimo, only tied his hands and lowered his eyes respectfully to answer Zhu Zimo's questions.
Hearing this, Zhu Zimo nodded with satisfaction, looked at Baihu, and said with a little appreciation in his tone: "Yes, among the four of you, you are the only one who knows my mind best, so what can you do to raise ten thousand taels of silver without attracting attention and not arousing the suspicion of Zhu Hui and Zhu Ziyao?"
The white tiger pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly: "The white tiger doesn't know. ”
Baihu's words are not modest and shirk, but Baihu really can't think of a way, since Baihu met Zhu Zimo sixteen years ago, Zhu Zimo brought Baihu into this courtyard, Baihu has lived a worry-free life.
In the past sixteen years, in addition to taking care of the villa and some other industries for Zhu Zimo in his name, Baihu is at the disposal of Zhu Zimo at any time, and there are many capable people under Baihu, and there are very few things that really need Baihu to come out over the years.
The two fathers and sons of the Zhu family are really not the same thing, if Zhu Zimo wants to collect 10,000 taels of silver, and the property belonging to the Zhu family will not be handed over to Zhu Zimo to take care of, this is tantamount to asking Zhu Zimo to conjure up 10,000 taels of silver empty-handed!
Although the White Tiger also has his own set of methods in running a business, in fact, the White Tiger is still very upright, and the phrase "no treachery and no business" is really inappropriate for the White Tiger.
Over the years, whether it is suppressing opponents or acquiring opponents' industries, White Tiger has convinced his opponents to lose, and even subdued several opponents for his use, but now Zhu Zimo's matter is really not within the scope of White Tiger's ability, this conspiracy is really not what White Tiger is good at!
If Zhu Zimo let the White Tiger think of using the existing industry to make a lot of money, maybe the White Tiger could still give Zhu Zimo some advice, but Zhu Zimo's matter is really embarrassing for the White Tiger.
Zhu Zimo also knew that it was a bit difficult for him to ask the White Tiger like this, a woman who was full of hatred and only knew how to kill and a man who strictly required himself to behave in a fair and upright manner, what could Zhu Zimo expect from them?
As everyone knows, very much later, this man who acted too neatly in Zhu Zimo's eyes was finally forced to have his hands covered with blood.
Zhu Zimo waved his hand helplessly after all, and said to Xuanwu and Baihu: "You guys retreat!" Then he looked at Qinglong, who had been silent like a piece of wood, and asked, "Qinglong, what do you think I should do?"
Before Zhu Zimo could finish speaking, Xuanwu and Baihu had already returned to their original positions together, and Qinglong took a step forward.
Although Qinglong's face was still cold and ruthless, the respect in those black eyes was fake, and his tone was extremely respectful: "Master, Qinglong thinks that Zhu Hui asked Ye to raise 10,000 taels of silver because he didn't want to give the property to Ye, but I'm afraid that if Ye raised that 10,000 taels of silver, this Zhu family's property will not fall into your hands, rather than doing such a thankless thing, my subordinates feel that it is better to cut through the mess quickly and neatly." ”
Xuanwu on the side was taken aback by Qinglong's words, and without thinking about it, he had already blurted out: "Brother Qinglong! Don't you want your master to kill Zhu Hui and Zhu Ziyao? After all, they are your father's father and eldest brother, and it's a big rebellion to do this!!"
Qinglong didn't answer, but Zhu Zimo said coldly: "Qinglong's words, it's not that I haven't thought about it, after all, my avoidance of them on weekdays is not because I am incompetent and timid." I am not a good person, but in this way, I am afraid that the gossip of the outside world will not be good. It doesn't matter if I arrive, it's just that my mother doesn't want to hear those gossips, and I definitely don't want me to kill my father and brother to win the Zhu family's property. ”
"Yes. It was Qinglong who was reckless. Qinglong clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Zimo, and consciously retreated.
Seeing that the opinions of the four people, the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu and the Vermilion Bird had all been expressed, Zhu Zimo did not get a feasible method after all.
After a long time, Zhu Zimo sighed lightly and said, "That's it, this matter will be discussed later." Master, I urgently summoned you back today, not to discuss with you the strategy of seizing the Zhu family's property, but in fact, I have something important to tell you to do. ”
At this moment, Zhu Zimo can be regarded as getting to the point.
"But listen to the master's orders!" the four of them, the green dragon, the white tiger, the Xuanwu and the Suzaku all answered in unison.
I only heard Zhu Zimo say clearly: "Xuanwu flew a few days ago to pass the book to me, and the fine work she placed in the palace has found out that the big chapter in the west and the red ice in the north are about to move, if the prediction is good, they will have a big move in the spring next year, and the good country and the favored country bordering my big beam will not be peaceful." Once the war starts, there are only two outcomes, both the good country and the favored country are destroyed, or these two countries surrender to Dazhang and Chibing as their vassals. Regardless of the outcome, after settling the Great Chapter of the Two Kingdoms and Red Ice, it is time to attack our pillars. ”
"What do you want your subordinates to do?" the four of Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku asked in unison again. It's not about asking Zhu Zimo what he wants them to do, but what he needs them to do.
Zhu Zimo's eyes were even colder than before, and he coldly distributed the tasks of the four of them: "Qinglong, all the sharp weapons forged by your Qinglong City will be sold to the court of this dynasty at the lowest price before the war begins. White Tiger, you will sell all the good horses and horses raised in White Tiger Villa to the court of this dynasty at the lowest price before the war begins. Suzaku, when war breaks out, you must reduce the price of rice to the lowest in all your rice shops in your dynasty, but in all rice shops in Dazhang and Chibing, you must raise the price of rice to the maximum. As for Xuanwu, you sent someone to keep an eye on the restless merchants in the south, if they dare to do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, don't forget to kill. ”
"Yes!" The four of them, the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu Vermilion Bird, agreed in unison, and then jumped in all four directions at the same time, and disappeared into the vast night.
Looking at the endless night sky, Zhu Zimo thought coldly in his heart: He wants to see, in this way, how Dazhang and Chibing will attack Daliang, and if they want to ignite the beacon fire and mess up the world, they must first ask him if Zhu Zimo agrees!!
