Winter mornings in the north are cold and severe.

Xu Fusheng, who had been tossing all night last night, was still sleeping in the room when he was awakened by a knock on the door.

Lin Bad outside the door said anxiously: "Son, now the courtyard is full of dynasty soldiers, as well as the officials of Jinyang Mansion, who have fenced off our entire courtyard." ”

Xu Fusheng, who was still half-asleep and half-awake, said indifferently: "Let them wait, and don't let people sleep in the morning." ”

That being said, the man got up and began to get dressed, and as he got dressed, he said to himself, "This group of goods came early enough." ”

When Xu Fusheng got dressed and opened the door, Lin Bad was still waiting outside the door.

It's just that the courtyard is already full of soldiers, and there are more than a dozen officials, and the two sides are arguing.

The courtyard where Xu Fusheng and his family settled was located on Confucian Temple Street, which was an extremely spacious courtyard with access but looked extremely dilapidated.

After standing with so many capable soldiers and officials, the more deserted it became.

Xu Fusheng didn't care about their dispute, beckoned to Lin Bad and whispered, "Did you do what you arranged for last night?"

"I arranged for my brother to come over early in the morning. Lin Bad also replied in a low voice.

The dispute between the soldiers and the officials in the courtyard also slowly stopped after seeing Xu Fusheng come out.

They were already annoyed when they were forced to come to get people early in the morning, and with the fact that both sides had their own reasons, it was inevitable that there would be a dispute.

The officials said that they had received that someone had come to take the troublemaker from Yihongyuan, and the soldiers had heard that Xie Long from the North City Gate had been stabbed and wounded, and the Governor of the City Gate had come to get him.

Those who have always been soldiers look down on the errand men of the yamen, and the people who are stabbed and injured by Xu Fusheng are also officers of the dynasty, so they are naturally indignant and want to take people back first.

Although the officials were weak, they were also instructed by the officials to insist that this was a disturbance of order and was under the control of the yamen, and the criminals must be escorted back to the yamen.

Because of this convenient start to argue, in the end, the two sides should have negotiated the conditions, and stopped after seeing Xu Fusheng come out.

One of the leading officials had a gloomy face, and took a step forward and said, "Which one is called Lin Bad, you were suspected of disturbing the public order in the city last night, and you were murdered with weapons, and now I want to arrest you and wait for interrogation in the official mansion." ”

The yard was so noisy in the morning, and the others naturally woke up, and they all walked out of the courtyard one after another.

In this way, the courtyard seemed to be lively, but the dozens of soldiers stopped speaking at this time, as if waiting to see the jokes of a few officials.

The leading official looked at this scene, and his originally gloomy face became darker and darker.

He said in a deep voice: "It seems that the crime is not limited to this, and you have now added another crime of gathering people privately and wanting to confront the government." ”

Xu Fusheng was calculating the time, but Lin Bad stepped forward and said loudly to the official:

"I'm Lin Bad, one person does things and one person does things, I'm going back to the yamen with you now, and I have nothing to do with the brothers present. ”

Lin Huiyu was also helped up, she didn't know what was going on, so she recruited two brothers to come over and ask each other, and everyone was confused.

But the official still said with a dark face: "It doesn't matter if you say it has nothing to do, who was the one who committed the murder with you last night, please come out as soon as possible." ”

Xu Fusheng, who hadn't had time to freshen up in the morning, wore long hair and a shawl, and his clothes were not properly tidied up.

Lazily stepped forward and said, "It's me, can you allow all the officials to come back to get people later, and I will accompany you when I finish washing."

Or will you discuss which department to go back to deal with first?"

Xu Fusheng's expression, coupled with his provocative words, immediately angered the soldiers who were watching the show.

For them, it was Xu Fusheng who bullied and stabbed Xie Long, although Xie Long was usually mean and the relationship was not very good.

No matter how you say it, he is also a brother in the camp, so he is naturally extremely angry at Xu Fusheng's arrogant attitude at this time.

Immediately walked to Xu Fusheng and said, "In this way, you are the son who stabbed our Lord Xie." Brothers, take people!"

More than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and leather boots spread out towards Xu Fusheng's sides in a uniform manner, and then surrounded Xu Fusheng as the center.

Xu Fusheng looked at this scene, and he had to say that the quality of the soldiers of the Shengyuan Dynasty was really not weak, that is, some officers and soldiers of the City Gate Division had such momentum, and it was conceivable how powerful those world-famous battle teams should be.

In his previous life, he had a special respect for a certain group of people, and he didn't want to offend this group of people for no reason, so he allowed them to surround himself.

Lin Bad, who was on the side, was in a hurry, he thought that he could tie him up, but it was not okay to take away Engong, so he had to take action now.

Xu Fusheng glanced at him and signaled him not to be impatient.

All of this today was already in his plan, and he was also planning to use this group of people to announce his backers to Jinyang City in a high-profile manner, so that it would be much easier to do things in Taiyuan County in the future.

Lin Huiyu listened to the conversation between the official and the soldier on the side, and probably understood what was going on, a little crying and laughing, but he was inevitably a little moved in his heart.

glanced at Xu Fusheng in a complicated way, and simply clasped his hands to his chest, intending to see what Xu Fusheng would do next.

The soldiers were about to tie up when there was a commotion outside the door.

Xu Fusheng knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Sure enough, Li Ji'an, who was as elegant as ever, walked in with two people with extraordinary bearing at a glance.

Looking at the situation in the courtyard, Li Ji'an was also stunned, and didn't understand what was going on.

When Xu Fusheng sent someone to inform him, he didn't say anything, just that he had arrived early.

The soldiers were also stunned when they saw this formation, the second son of the Li family has been walking around the army quite frequently recently, although they have not been in close contact, but they have also seen the figure from afar.

In addition, one of the two adults who followed behind them knew each other, Liu Wenjing, the commander of Jinyang County, and the big and small affairs of Jinyang Mansion were all decided by this well-known Liu County Commander.

The officials stepped forward to salute Lord Liu, but the soldiers were at a loss and didn't know what to do next.

Xu Fusheng stepped forward to relieve their embarrassment, and bowed to Li Ji'an: "Under Xu Fusheng, I have seen Li Gongzi and the two adults. ”

What kind of person is Li Ji'an, how can he allow Fusheng to bow down, and stepped forward with a smile on his face to support Xu Fusheng and said:

"There is no official position in the lower ranks, so Xu Gongzi does not need to be polite. After speaking, he said in a low voice that seemed to be extremely affectionate: "Brother, what's going on." ”

Xu Fusheng naturally didn't really think that this was Li Ji'an's love for him, but he was also happy to do so.

Everyone is a person who has come over with strong winds and waves on the rivers and lakes, and no one still understands what is going on.

Li Ji'an's hand is clever in that it shows his reputation as a corporal of Lixian to the outside world, and it seems to be extremely affectionate with himself internally.

And Xu Fusheng naturally wished he was like this, in the eyes of outsiders, this was the relationship between himself and the Li family was extraordinary, and Li Ji'an was extremely polite to him.

They are all people who have rolled in the human spirit, and there is no problem with these little things.

It was to pretend to be affectionate, and said in a low voice: "Because of the transportation of ore, someone made a hindrance from it, and in order not to arouse suspicion, I beat an officer named Xie Long at the city gate." ”

As soon as he heard Xu Fusheng say this, Li Ji was relieved, got up slowly, and said with a smile:

"Brothers, Xu Gongzi and Zai Xia have been friends for many years, please allow me to have a little time to say something personal, and then let everyone take people away.

Don't worry, I will not make it difficult for everyone, if there is really a matter of gathering a crowd to make trouble and beating up officers, I, Li Ji'an, will definitely show the government and deal with it fairly. After speaking, he glanced at Liu Wenjing behind him.

Li Ergongzi said so, how can other people still have room to speak, they can't catch it, they can't go, they look at each other.

Liu Wenjing immediately beckoned the official to come over and whisper a few words, and the official leader walked over and muttered to the leader of the soldiers.

After a few moments, the courtyard was full of people who dispersed.

The brothers under Lin Bad's hands were naturally excited, but they didn't expect their owner to be so violent, and there was a backer like the Li family behind them.

They don't care about miracles or not, the Li family is in the north, and it is an existence that reaches to the sky.

Lin Huiyu didn't expect the result to be like this, he glanced at Xu Fusheng thoughtfully, and then turned around and went back to the room.

Xu Fusheng greeted Li Ji'an and the two adults into the room with a warm face, and asked Lin Bad to greet the guests.

It's just that the yard is rented, and there are no people to serve, so only a few big men serve tea and pour water.

Fortunately, Li Ji'an didn't mind these details, but Liu Wenjing and Liu Wen'an behind him frowned a little.

They didn't expect that it was such a young man who could be admired by Li Ergongzi, and these people under them looked like some ruffians and hooligans.

Xu Fusheng is a person who pays attention to details, so he naturally will not slack off, and while looking at Lin Bad, he arched his hand and said:

"At the beginning of the next year, I have not found a place to stay, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me. ”

Li Ji'an also relieved Xu Fusheng and said: "Xu Gongzi only arrived in Jinyang City last night, and it is normal that there is no place to stay.

The two adults don't care about these little things, besides, I have already found a house for the Xu family at the Jin Ancestral Hall, and I will ask Xu Gongzi to take him over later. ”

In this way, Liu Wenjing and the others couldn't say anything more, and said with a smile:

"The last time I came back from the Bingzhou Mansion, I heard Li Gongzi talk about how Xu Gongzi was a genius, and when I saw it today, he was really young and handsome. ”

After a polite greeting, the next thing is to get to the point.

First, Liu Wenjing asked with a sincere concern: "I don't know what happened just now, why did Xu Gongzi get into trouble with these soldiers and officials at the same time as soon as he arrived in Jinyang City." ”

Xu Fusheng glanced at Li Ji'an, Li Ji'an nodded slightly, and gestured to speak directly.

Xu Fusheng knew that the relationship between Liu Wenjing and the Li family was extraordinary, how could he hear this kind of secret if he wasn't his own person at this time.

Xu Fusheng paused, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but I thought that in the future, such transportation would be indispensable for tossing, if I was checked every time, I was afraid of being targeted by someone with a heart without a suitable excuse."

So he deliberately made a high profile on his own initiative, thinking of changing his own people to guard the city gate.

In addition, this is also directly equivalent to announcing the opening of my Xingchen firm, so that even if someone says something, it is still a business to transport iron ore. ”

"But you are so high-profile, everyone knows that you are standing behind Li Ergongzi, isn't it...?" Liu Wenan frowned and said.

Xu Fusheng scolded his mother in his heart, but in fact, he was just looking for an excuse to cover up his shortcomings.

But he couldn't help but answer, and slowly got up and said: "That's the case, if it is announced in a high-profile manner, even if someone verifies it, it is because of the sale of the business, and it can be said on the surface."

can be used secretly, once someone finds out, they have the final say on what hat to deduct.

These things can't be concealed from those who have a heart, but everyone has to do them through a layer of cloth.

If this fig leaf is removed, we will face direct accusations from the people.

I guess that's not what we want to see at the moment. ”

Li Ji'an nodded and said, "That's right, we currently give the people the impression that we want an innocent party."

The impression given to the dynasty is that the Li family is lustful and greedy for money, incompetent and greedy, and can do anything, but they must not leave a handle for others. ”

Xu Fusheng really admires these sons and daughters like Li Ji'an, who are young, but their minds have been tempered thousands of times early, no wonder they can leave such a reputation in the outside world.

Once these little things were revealed, everyone no longer continued to dwell on this issue, and instead said, "Then what is Xu Gongzi's plan next?"

Once Xu Fusheng enters the state, he will no longer be the appearance of a hanger, and Zhengse said: "I have already sent someone to pick out the shops of Xingchen Merchant and Jingdong Clothing in advance."

Next, I plan to open Xingchen Business and Jingdong Clothing at the same time, and I will have Li Gongzi to support it at that time.

It is better to reiterate your equity capital in JD Clothing on the opening day, so that there should be other interpretations from the outside world.

In addition, in addition to the iron ore accident, I plan to buy as much grain as possible, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

It is better to take this opportunity to send someone to buy it as soon as possible, in case you need it in the future.

The branches of the Star Firm are to be opened in every prosperous place of the dynasty, and I intend to do so as soon as it opens.

The same can be done for other businesses, and as for other businesses, I have to understand them well before reasoning.

It's just that the sale of officials must be kept secret, and they can only be traded privately. ”

Li Ji'an glanced at Xu Fusheng deeply, nodded and said: "Then do it, this Liu Wen'an is Brother Liu's cousin, the former master of the accounting office in Jinyang City, and now I have transferred it out to do the accounting office for our business." ”

Xu Fusheng's hairs stood up all over his body when Li Ji'an saw this, and he couldn't help but secretly regret talking about buying grain.

At this sensitive moment, one more sentence is one more right and wrong.

It's just that the words have been spoken, so it's not easy to explain any more, so he just arched his hand to Liu Wenan and said:

"In the future, the accounting part will be troublesome to Lord Liu, and we will get familiar with it as soon as possible in the next few days, and then operate it. ”

Liu Wenan also said yes, he still looked down on Xu Fusheng before, but after this conversation, he no longer dared to underestimate it.

A person who can have such a keen eye and courage cannot be measured by age.

And he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of Li Ji'an, his thinking is clear, and he can be regarded as the number one person no matter what.

While thinking about Xu Fusheng's words, Li Ji'an gently tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly:

"There is no need to repeat the principal of the shares on the same day, it will seem redundant, and now it is better to be motionless at the moment, and I will arrange for someone to send it to you in advance.

In addition, we must act quickly and get a good grasp of grain purchases. If the money isn't enough, I'll figure it out. ”

Xu Fusheng naturally nodded yes, and explained without a trace: "Grain will be one of the most lucrative commodities in troubled times, and I believe that I will definitely be able to make the profit needed to buy raw materials." ”

Next, after carefully discussing the opening of the business and other business matters, Li Ji'an took Liu Wenjing and Liu Wenan and left.
