The dead are gone, but the living still have to go on their own paths. Only on the second day after Mrs. Murong was buried, the four ministers had already come to see Murong Fu with their accounts. Mrs. Murong passed away, and Murong Fu was the master of the Gusu Murong family, and he should preside over all the family business.

Receiving the account book handed over by Deng Baichuan, Murong Fu's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise. At his current age, it is obviously too early to really preside over the family business, and I can't imagine that Deng Baichuan and others have really regarded him as the master, and this kind of loyalty has obviously long been extinct in modern society. He lowered his head and flipped through the account book while listening to Deng Baichuan's introduction: "In front of the lord, he relied on the 'Dou Zhuan Xing Shift' stunt to collect the seventy-two peaks of the forty-eight islands of Taihu Lake, and set up four major villages: Qingyun, Chixia, Jinfeng, and Xuanshuang. The lord originally planned to use Taihu Lake as the foundation to make friends with heroes and heroes, Xu Tuhuai South Road, and did not want the middle road to collapse. Now, with the ability of the four of my brothers, only the Taihu Lake area is still under control. ”

Murong Fu knew that the money of the Murong family was not very innocent, but now he was not very surprised to hear that he was the chief scoop of the Taihu underworld organization. He didn't understand whether Deng Baichuan's so-called control meant being able to influence local officials to govern the government, or only referring to being able to bring up an armed team, and after a moment of silence, he asked directly: "Huainan Road is a heavy battle of Caoyun, and my Murong clan is not only in charge of the Taihu Lake heroes, but what kind of livelihood do I do?" ”

Murong Fu's question was asked, but the four ministers looked at each other, and after a while, Deng Baichuan replied with a little embarrassment: "There are many forces on Taihu Lake, and most of them are not peaceful. If there is a dispute, we will always come forward to mediate, and the heroes are grateful for the benevolence and righteousness of the Murong family, and celebrate the New Year's holidays...... Ahem......"

It turned out to be just a little minion who collected protection money in the autumn wind, and he didn't even have his own industry. Murong Fu couldn't help but let out a long sigh and frowned worriedly.

The four ministers saw that Murong Fu was silent but had another hidden worry, they had been with Murong Fu for 14 years, and they knew that he valued civil affairs more than martial arts, but they were afraid that he would read moral articles too well, and his actions would inevitably be a little ignorant of the world. To put it simply, it is difficult to accept the Murong family's underworld identity.

Everyone glanced at each other, Bao Wei snorted, and was about to step forward to enlighten a few words, but saw Murong Fu casually close the account book that recorded the evidence of Murong family's collection of protection money, and said in a deep voice: "Let's think about making money first!" ”

Bao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then turned the prepared words of persuasion into a question. "What do you mean, Childe? What is missing from my Gusu Murong clan is these blockages? ”

"In my opinion, it is these blockages that are most lacking now!" Murong Fu said categorically, seeing that Bao Wei wanted to refute in a loud voice, he raised his hand and made a stop move. "Let me ask you, what is the basis for the restoration of the country?"

The turmoil replied without thinking: "Naturally, it is a peerless martial art, as long as the prince learns to 'fight and turn the stars' to become famous in the world, he can recruit the heroes of the world......"

Before he finished speaking, Murong Fu had already asked in a cold voice: "As far as I know, the highest martial arts on the rivers and lakes now is the abbot of Shaolin Xuanci, but why is it that the one who occupies this world is a powerless child surnamed Zhao?" ”

The storm was stunned for a long time before he replied: "This Xuanci is an outsider......

"Xuan Ci is a person from outside the square, the six roots are pure and unstained with dust, could it be that all the martial artists in this world are people outside the square?" Murong Fu asked again.

"This ......" has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, and naturally he can't understand the truth of this. What he had decided for more than ten years was broken by Murong Fu's words, and he was powerless to refute it, and he was at a loss when the turmoil came, so he just stood in place in a daze and didn't say a word.

When Deng Baichuan and the other four got married to Murong Bo, they admired and admired Murong Bo's martial arts skills, and then they entered the Murong family, and tried their best to rejuvenate Dayan, but if they were asked how to revive Dayan, they were confused and clueless, and they felt that they wanted to win people's hearts for a while, and they wanted to produce heroes in troubled times. In the final analysis, these four people are just executive talents, but they have no ability to co-ordinate and control the cocoon. Deng Baichuan looked around and saw that everyone was confused, so he stepped forward, and was about to ask Murong Fu for his guilt, when Gongye Qian, who was standing beside him, suddenly said quietly: "If you want to hold high the banner of righteousness and restore Dayan, you must have soldiers and generals in your hands, and it is absolutely not enough for us alone." ”

Feng Bo slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Ah! Therefore, the lord is bent on recruiting the heroes of the rivers and lakes for his own use, and these heroes of the rivers and lakes have their own conceited skills, and they must be strong in martial arts to convince them! ”

Murong Fu was almost not laughed at by the turmoil, and he endured it again and again before swallowing back a foul sentence. "On the battle array, is it a group of rabble with empty martial arts or an army that orders forbidden?"

This time, Gongye Qian did not give the turmoil a chance to continue to be angry with Murong Fu, and replied first: "Naturally, the army is useful. As long as the poor people have a meal and a meal, they can go with us with peace of mind and join us into an army to fight. The people are stupid and easy to take advantage of, but those heroes have their own ideas, which is extremely difficult to subdue. Speaking of this, Gongye Qian only felt empowered, bowed down and said, "The son is a great talent!" ”

Deng Baichuan had other worries. "If there is peace today, and there are occasional natural disasters*, the imperial court will also organize the displaced people into the box army for resettlement. How can we have the opportunity to reach out to the people? ”

Not only does it not have a chance, but the slightest action will be regarded as a conspiracy to kill all the doors! Of course, Murong Fu would not say such things, he just said: "Now that the Murong family has no money in their hands, it is too early to talk about recruiting the people, and it is only right to think about making money first." "When everyone has become the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, every day they call slaves and maids, and they still want to rebel with their brains and deaths?

Bao Wei closed the folding fan in his hand and knocked on the palm of his hand, and it was extremely rare to open his mouth to echo others. "In this way, the money in our hands is indeed not enough, not to mention that to attract the people, it is to make friends with heroes, and it also costs money! However, there is no huge profit in farming and work, and only the merchants are 100 times more profitable. It's just that this art of colonization ......"

Before he finished speaking, everyone frowned in unison. The four ministers and sister-in-law Deng are all martial artists, and they make a living by "presiding over justice" on weekdays, where can they have any ability to make money?

Murong Fu smiled secretly, and said in his heart: I know you won't! "Sister-in-law Deng has eaten the pine nut candy I made?"

As a woman, Sister-in-law Deng naturally can't avoid women's habits, and she loves sweets and snacks. The pine nut candy that Murong Fu made for Wang Yuyan was crunchy and sweet, not only did she like it, but there was nothing that the women of Yanziwu didn't like. It was Li Qingluo, but when she heard that Wang Yuyan came to Murong Fu to ask for candy, she didn't stop her very much. Sister-in-law Deng is a smart person, and after a little thought, she understood the meaning of Murong Fu's words, and immediately asked, "What does Childe mean to sell this pine nut candy?" ”

Murong Fu nodded and said softly: "It's not just this pine nut candy, other candy snacks can also be developed slowly." Huainan Province has always been rich, and this business seems small but promising. In the future, it will be bigger and it will be feasible to sell overseas. ”

When everyone heard Murong Fu mention the words "exported overseas", they gasped. You must know that the benefits of shipping are a hundred times more profitable, which is a big truth in this era. Thinking of the grand occasion when the silver money rolled in, everyone scratched their ears and cheeks, but Gongye Qian was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Why don't you raise silkworms and take silk?" The benefits of silk are better than a small piece of sugar, not to mention that people can not eat sugar but cannot not dress. ”

As soon as Gongye Qian's words came out, Murong Fuden glanced at him meaningfully, and said patiently: "How many ordinary people can afford to wear silk?" If it was the family of the super-rich Jia, someone had already made this deal, and my Murong clan had no roots and no bottom, and it was not easy to intervene. ”

Gongye Qian smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "But if Gongye Qian wants to do it, Gongye Qian guarantees that Gongye Qian can make it happen!" ”

Murong Fu noticed the lust between his eyebrows, and his heart jumped. Among the four great ministers, if it is the most annoying, it must be different; If it is the most intriguing person, it is naturally the most infamous storm. However, among the four people, Murong Fu was the most estranged from the bottom of his heart, but Gongye Qian, the reason was that he was now showing his near-term success, quick profit, and casual killing, which made Murong Fu unable to believe that he would be a chivalrous man with benevolence and righteousness. "If Mo Ruo burns down the swallow dock, wouldn't it be more costless for me to wait for the master and servant to go up the mountain to make a ringing horse?"

Murong Fu's sarcastic tone was already extremely heavy, and Gongye Qian hurriedly bowed his head.

However, as soon as the words came out, Murong Fu himself regretted it. Even if you don't like your subordinates, how can your boss be angry and ridiculed for no reason because of your likes and dislikes. He hurriedly made amends, and reassured Gongye Qiandao: "I know the intentions of the second brother of Gongye, but if we want to restore the country, we must not give up the word 'benevolence and righteousness', otherwise we will be chaotic ministers and thieves!" Besides, it is not easy to raise silkworms and take silk, I heard that it is not easy to raise silkworms in spring, and I have to think about how to do this business. Although he doesn't know the specific operation to improve the survival rate of spring silkworms, he has modern knowledge to rely on, but he knows how to strengthen management. As long as the management goes up, even if the technology is difficult to break through for a while, this efficiency is also difficult for the large sericulture farmers of the same era to achieve. However, as Gongye Qian said, selling silk is a profiteering industry, and he was afraid that the money would be made too quickly, so the four ministers asked him to collect people's hearts and raise the banner to rebel according to the script.

Gongye Qian saw that he had good intentions, but Murong Fu did not appreciate it and only grasped the "benevolence and righteousness", just like a pedantic scholar who was stupid in reading, and he was also full of grievances. However, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and since Murong Fu has already spoken to appease, he has no choice but to whisper: "It's his subordinate Meng Lang." ”

Murong Fu has already set a plan to make money, and the rest will be handed over to the four ministers to operate and execute. If Murong wants to return to the matter, then the so-called four great ministers will be useless. Therefore, he mentioned Deng Baichuan and a few other words about the sugar making skills and the doorway of choosing a shop, and put this topic aside. He was secretly relieved to see that the four ministers were a hundred times easier to fool than Mrs. Murong, but he didn't know that his heart had not yet been put down, and Sister-in-law Deng suddenly said: "Good godmaster knows, Mother Gui has already extinguished her mouth, and Yanziwu has been cleaned up, so don't worry!" ”

As soon as Sister-in-law Deng said this, Murong Fu's hair was about to explode, and she immediately stood up and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Murong Fu was furious, everyone immediately glanced at Gongye Qian with doubts.

Gongye Qian, who "pretended to pass on the holy decree", secretly said "terrible", hurriedly bowed to Murong Fu, and said honestly: "Son, killing Gui's mother is the intention of his subordinates. When the master mother was newly mourned, she was in a hurry to leave, and she didn't care about the friendship between master and servant over the years, and she must have bad intentions and couldn't stay! ”

Murong Fu took a deep breath, clenched his left fist hard, endured it and endured it slowly: "Mother Gui, you killed it, and none of Mother Gui's family members were spared?" ”

Gongye Qian bowed his head resignedly, not daring to answer.

"Why is your Daogui mother in a hurry to leave? My mother scolded me with a rod, because she was slanderous, and she was afraid that I would find her bad luck. It's good for you, lest others don't know that I, Murong Fu, is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people, and even the old man who has served by my mother's side for many years will take his life! Second Brother Gongye, you are so self-assertive, where do I dare to call Murong Fu? Knowing that nearly ten lives of Gui's mother's family disappeared in the blink of an eye, Murong Fu's heart was furious, and he almost wanted to kill the murderous demon in front of him immediately to give Gui's mother his life.

Murong Fu's words are also difficult to accept, he really regards Murong Fu as the master of Zhongxing, so he thoughtfully and thoughtfully helps him solve the trouble. Unexpectedly, Murong Fu not only did not appreciate it, but doubted his intentions. Gongye Qian raised his head at the moment, blushed and said loudly: "Since Gongye doubts my loyalty, Gongye Qian only dies!" With that, he jerked his right palm and shot it down on the top of his head.

The four ministers are like siblings, how can Deng Baichuan and the others watch him commit suicide? The three of them hurriedly pounced on him and held him down with all hands and feet. Deng Baichuan watched Murong Fu grow up, he always thought that he had a gentle personality, and he didn't want to be so angry today, so he didn't dare to kneel on the ground and plead for Gongye Qian: "Please forgive your son!" ”

Deng Baichuan took the lead in kneeling, and the other two, together with Deng Sister-in-law, also knelt down and pleaded. Among these four people, only Bao Wei is the most jumpy, and he pretended to be clever and added: "The second brother of Gongye is also doing this out of loyalty, please know the master!" ”

Murong Fu was silent, only looking at them coldly. In Murong Fu's heart, these four ministers are really not much of a figure, not only have they brainwashed him for many years and tried to manipulate him to go to the dead end of seeking a change in the country, but as a subordinate, they lack respect for their superiors. However, these Murong Fu can bear it, but he can't bear it like Gongye Qian, who treats human life as nothing! Mo said that he had no intention of rebelling at all, even if he had the intention to fight for the world, it would be difficult to achieve great things with subordinates like Gongye Qian. Just by killing Gui's mother, it can be seen that he is not even a hero, at best he is just a ruthless outlaw. After a moment, he said slowly, "You think I'm making a big fuss? ”

Murong Fu was filled with anger, but Gongye Qian actually said eloquently: "Master Gongzi, it seems that such a villain who tells right and wrong should be killed!" Those who achieve great things are not informal, how can they have the kindness of a woman? ”

Murong Fu's eyes darkened when he was choked by Gongye Qian's crooked reasoning, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and asked the other four, "You think so too?" ”

The four of them didn't dare to answer, but it was obvious that they didn't all agree with Gongyeqian's words.

Murong Fu suddenly felt tired, he had always known that they were fanatical, but he didn't know that they had reached this point. He knew that if he wanted to kill them, they might not be willing to kill them. But if you drive them away, it will be a word. But what about after that? After all, Murong Bo is still alive, and the death of a wife who has no impact on the great cause of restoring the country is nothing, but if his son drives away the "orphaned minister" he left behind, I am afraid that he will have to come forward to set things right.

Thinking of this, Murong Fu tightened his left fist again, trying his best to calm down. "Have you ever thought that I am the only descendant of the Murong family, and the Murong family will be in charge of me sooner or later, why does Mother Gui offend me?" Before the four ministers had another chance to anger him, he had already said to himself, "Because she's stupid!" However, even if there are thousands of stupid people, there is one advantage, that is, they know to be afraid! I want Sister-in-law Deng to give Tsuyin two words thoroughly, just to use her greed and fear, so that she will be tight-lipped about what she has seen and heard in Yanziwu from now on. Now Gui's mother has not had time to do anything, and the second brother of Gongye has already killed people because she is worried that she is talking nonsense. In his day, my Murong clan recruited troops and horses to try to restore the country, and more and more people know this secret, how many can the second brother of Gongye kill? Daddy treated you like a national soldier when he was alive, could it be that you have only one 'killing' ability as a national soldier? You are so incompetent, when will my Murong clan's great cause of restoring the country be accomplished? ”

Murong Fu's high-sounding words finally taught the four masters to submit and plead guilty again in unison. This time, it was much more sincere. Murong Fu didn't let them get up, and continued: "Among the four elder brothers, the second brother of Gongye was the most knowledgeable. Today's reinstatement of the official has to ask for advice, 'There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes.'" What does it mean? ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, Gongye Qianden trembled, slammed his forehead on the ground, and said loudly: "Gongye Qianqian is guilty!" "There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. This sentence was originally from the "Analects", Zhou Tianzi was unable to control the princes, and the guide zhì "Lile conquest comes from the princes", which is the beginning of the world's lack of Taoism, and it is also a symbol of the princes' usurpation of the Son of Heaven.

"Since you are convicted, you can't go unpunished!" Murong Fu said coldly. Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed at himself, Gui's mother's family had died innocently and tragically, and the best punishment should be to kill people to pay for their lives, but he couldn't do it. Even so, other punishments are very hypocritical. "Punish you for copying the "Dizang Sutra" a hundred times for Gui's mother's family, are you convinced?"

Gongye Qian immediately kowtowed again, and said loudly: "Gongye Qian's heart is convinced, thank you Gongye!" ”

When the matter ended like this, Murong Fu was already tired, turned his back and waved his hand weakly: "Let's all go out!" Do it in the future and think twice before you act! ”

"Yes!" The four ministers and sister-in-law Deng responded at the same time and withdrew from the hut in frustration. It was nearly evening, and there was a cool breeze outside. Everyone was blown by this cold wind, and Fang suddenly realized that his back was already sweaty, and he couldn't help but shiver excitedly.
