"If you're busy, you don't have to stay with me." Along the way, he received countless attention gifts, coupled with the appearance of the leaders of the Cao Gang, which made Xihe uncomfortable, but also had some doubts about Shen Cheng's identity-

I thought that Shen Cheng was just a prince who was not favored, but now I am afraid that there is something else hidden.

When facing Shen Cheng, Zhang Qing looked frightened, where did he look like he was facing a friend he hadn't seen for many days? It is almost the same as saying that the subordinates face the boss. When the rest of the gang saw Shen Cheng, they immediately saluted respectfully, with a look of respect and worship in their eyes......

Although these charlatans don't have much contact, which one is not a bloody man? The so-called wealth and nobility can't be lewd, and the most unbearable fear of the heroes of the rivers and lakes is to grovel to the powerful, but they can give Shen Cheng such a high courtesy, which is really a bit incredible.

No, it's not appropriate to say that it is courteous, Shen Cheng gave Xihe the feeling when he walked here, where is the same guest as himself? It's clear that it's almost the same as the king who patrols his fiefdom.

"I'm fine. Aren't you going to see the stewards? I'll be with you. Knowing that Xihe was smart and obviously saw something, Shen Cheng didn't mean to hide it, "Don't hide it from you, this Cao Gang is now under my control." ”

As he spoke, he waved to Ah Chang, who was far behind:

"Lao Jiu, you go and bring those stewards over."

Xihe stood still and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Although there was some speculation in his heart, he really didn't expect Shen Cheng to be really the big boss of the Cao Gang-

Don't talk about other places, but a Qingfeng Mansion, the Cao Gang helps the people, I'm afraid there are thousands of people? Coupled with other waterway rudders, it is difficult to say that there are tens of thousands of people.

Among them, there are so many masters, and they don't know how many, but now they are all obeying Shen Cheng's orders!

Xihe's round eyes are so cute, and the smile on the corner of Shen Cheng's mouth can't be controlled: "It's not as powerful as you think." ”

Waterway transportation is the lifeblood of the country, how can such a big gang survive for hundreds of years if it is not willing to compromise with the imperial court at all?

Outsiders only know that the Cao Gang is quite beautiful, but they don't know that since the Taizheng Dynasty, the more important positions in the gang are often held by people related to the imperial court. It's just that unlike other people who have a false name before, they have real power in their hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they completely control the Cao Gang.

Of course, this recognition is not obtained for nothing, but in exchange for experiencing several bloody storms and even near-deaths......

"Big boss, Young Master Yang, all the stewards of your firm have been sent to the council hall." With Shen Cheng's orders, Ah Chang's efficiency is not ordinarily high, but he has brought all the people over.

Shen Cheng nodded:

"You go and call all the other heads of the house, and go to the council chamber with you."

Inside the Council Chamber.

Feng Xing and the stewards were there.

"Steward Feng, did the master really say that he would take us out soon? Why hasn't it been yet? The one who spoke was a fat white man in his fifties, although there were no patterns on the material of his clothes, he obviously saw that he was the best, and it was clear that he was also a pampered day on weekdays.

And in a kind of stewardship, the identity should be above Feng Xing, even if the future is uncertain at this moment, there is still a high taste in the tone.

Even when the "master" is mentioned, the dissatisfaction is overflowing.

Feng Xing frowned.

The man in front of him also knew himself, and it was another veteran-level steward besides Zhou Minghou, named Feng Shaodong. On the order of the young master, he sat in Huainan. The young master treats people generously, and the salary of the steward is extremely generous, for example, this Feng Shaodong's family assets are also extraordinarily solid, even compared to the local rich family, it is not bad. In the past two years, he has generally regarded himself as a meritorious man with Zhou Minghou. When you get along with each other, it's really extraordinary.

And Feng Xing always felt that others might not know that the former young master had changed Miss Xihe to sit, and Feng Shaodong knew this. Otherwise, it is clear that the people who escort the goods on weekdays are all their subordinates, why did they come here in person this time? It is not known what conspiracy he had with Zhou Minghou.

But he didn't break it, only nodded and said vaguely:

"Even if the master arrives, he has to negotiate with the Cao Gang - you have also understood the power of the Cao Gang, how can you come here so quickly? Steward Feng, please be calm for a while, let's wait a little longer. ”

"You're not in a hurry." Feng Shaodong took out a crumpled handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, obviously there was a chair prepared next to him, but he didn't dare to sit at all-

One night ago, there was a shout of killing on the river, and under the fire, Feng Shaodong and others saw the ferocity of the Cao Gang with their own eyes.

Since being brought back, the three souls and seven spirits have been scared. In the past two days, day and night, there was no time to stop, and they were even taken to the prison where the Cao gang dealt with the prisoners for a walk, and all kinds of terrible torture instruments and bloody scenes completely frightened these merchants.

Although it was two days, Feng Shaodong and the others felt that such a hellish day would be regarded as two years.

On the one hand, he cursed Zhou Minghou more than once and brought them over to the so-called "big things to discuss together", so that they fell into such a miserable situation that the heavens should not be called the earth, and on the other hand, he also questioned and even looked down on the new young master.

Once upon a time, when the young master was in Japan, wasn't that road properly dotted? But all the goods in the business are always shipped out smoothly, as for their stewards, as long as they do their own affairs, how can they ever encounter such a frightened thing that will lose their lives at any time?

All of them undoubtedly prove that this new young master has no control over the business at all, even if his ability to deal with things is extremely poor, the business is in her hands, and there is no danger of subversion at any time, and it is no wonder that Zhou Minghou will have different intentions. The so-called incompetent, exhausting thousands of troops, I can't say when the Hongyun business will be swallowed up by others.

After standing for so long, both legs really went limp. Feng Shaodong barely stood firm on the table, and he was even more impatient:

"How long has it been, if you have the heart, you would have negotiated it a long time ago, right? Is the master really here, or is there something discordant? Steward Feng, don't help hide it, after all, my life is at stake. ”

Either way, it's obviously a distrust of Xihe.

"Steward Feng said carefully." Feng Xing categorically vetoed, "The master is not that kind of person. ”

Feng Shaodong didn't have the energy or disdain to argue with Feng Xing, and beckoned to the other stewards:

"Come here, let's discuss how to beg Cao to help these heroes release them."

As soon as a word came out, among the twenty people present, five or six people surrounded them on the spot, except for more than ten people who were still standing silently beside Feng Xing and hoping for the master to come to the rescue, there were seven or eight people who did not go to Feng Shaodong's side, but their expressions were obviously a little swaying.

"The master is kind-hearted, and he won't let you go in charge no matter what. But everyone, I don't believe in the master so much, and the master will come later, but don't regret it. Feng Xing sneered, and did not step forward to stop it. Having said that, I can't help but be a little worried.

The master just said that he would go back, but he didn't want to wait so long......

The seven or eight hesitant people hesitated, but did not follow after all, but looked down at the ground, as if they did not want to be involved in the battle between the two parties.

Feng Shaodong's face suddenly became even more ugly - he underestimated Feng Xing's kid. It's only been so long since I've been here, and I can envelop so many people!

The eyes were not kind to these people, and he stroked his beard and said with a gloomy expression:

"Steward Feng also said that the master is kind-hearted, even so, the master must be able to understand the practice of exchanging property for his life in a desperate situation."

Feng Shaodong didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Minghou's words before, but he always hesitated in his heart, thinking that he would personally escort the goods and act again after arriving at Qingfeng Mansion.

In my heart, these goods will "disappear" nine out of ten.

Now these goods are still there, but they are in the hands of the Cao Gang, what is the difference between them and disappearing?

And the Cao Gang made such a big move, and what they did was nothing more than the word wealth. Even so, it is better to push the boat down the river and directly hand over these belongings to others, the young master has not come here yet, and it can't be said that it is because of how much money he paid to redeem himself and others and the Cao gang are entangled.

As long as all the stewards on his side should be undertaken, and promise to be willing to dedicate all the property brought this time to the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang will be overjoyed, as for Yang Xihe, although the behavior of herself and others is a little arrogant, only she has just sat on the position of the young master, and when she relies heavily on these stewards, she will not dare to chill herself and others, and under the pressure of the two parties, she is not afraid that she will not bow her head.

"Feng Shaodong!" Feng Xing's face sank completely, "You are just the manager of the business, not the young master himself." How to dispose of the property of the business, how to have your beak! ”

I didn't expect Feng Xing to show himself such mercy, and Feng Shaodong was extremely displeased, and immediately protested:

"If the young master is still the young master, how can we fall into such an unbearable situation?"

Unexpectedly, Feng Shaodong would put all the responsibility on the master, Feng Xing said coldly: "It is obvious that you are not greedy enough and were bewitched by that Zhou Minghou, otherwise, how could you be here?" It is really disgraceful to have the face to put all the responsibility on the young master. ”

Listening to the two of them, the others were obviously a little stunned, and Wei Rushan, the manager of Anyuan Business, said with a suspicious expression:

"What do you mean by 'if the young master is still the young master', is it difficult, isn't the young master a young master?"

Feng Shaodong waited for such a sentence, and immediately sneered:

"No, Brother Wei doesn't know, right? I also learned some time ago that our young master had already gone out to travel, and now the head of the business is his sister......"

"What?" Feng Shaodong's words were simply a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, except for Feng Xing and a few stewards who had already guessed before, everyone was stunned.

Then Feng Xing found that things were a little out of control in an instant, not only more than half of the seven or eight hesitant people went to the position where Feng Shaodong was standing, but even the expressions of the people around him were full of apprehension.

Feng Shaodong had a smile on his face.

As long as he can bring everyone out of the Cao Gang safely, he is not afraid that all of these stewards will defect...... That Yang Xihe is just a yellow-haired girl, and the affairs of the business will not be decided by herself at that time!

Just as he was complacent, a rush of footsteps came from outside, Feng Xing glanced outside, and was immediately relieved.
