Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Opponent

Chen Yuanheng's eyeliner has not been done yet, so he has a fork.

On this day, Lan Shanghan invited Chen Yuanheng and Wang Yihe to have dinner together, and originally made an appointment with Wan Chengyuan, but Wan Chengyuan returned to Qingyang City and couldn't go to the appointment. After three rounds of drinking, Lan Shanghan waved away the maids who were waiting, and said to Chen Yuanheng: "My lord, my business has met the opposite. ”

Chen Yuanheng was not surprised and said, "Really? What's going on? ”

Lan Shanghan said: "Recently, my business has been very good, and I have attracted the attention of Cui Junxiu, the former boss of the cloth industry in Deqing City. He has dozens of people under him, all of them are scoundrels, and I have repeatedly shot at the caravan that transports silk and satin, and I have no choice but to be amorous, which increases the cost, Cui Junxiu is still suppressing me on the price, and now my business is very difficult, fortunately, I am running a quilt business in this section, plus the fabrics needed by the garment workshop in the house have always been supplied by me, and the business of this piece has not been affected, and the rest have been pressed very much. ”

Chen Yuanheng said directly: "I've heard of this Cui Junxiu, it seems that there is a backstage, and he used to be good friends with my restaurant's opponent Sun Deyi, right?" ”

Lan Shanghan said: "Exactly, the two of them are sons and daughters, and Sun Deyi is the one who assassinates history." ”

Chen Yuanheng snorted and said, "I knew that this Sun Deyi Restaurant was crushed by me, and it would definitely not give up, so it was waiting for me here." ”

Lan Shanghan said: "My lord, this Cui Junxiu is not only the boss of the cloth shop, but also opened a casino in Deqing City, which is Dafa Casino. ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned: "Still open a casino?" ”

Lan Shanghan said: "Yes, his casino has been open for many years, and he has raised dozens of thugs, all of which have become a disaster in Deqing City. ”

When Wang Yihe heard this, he interjected: "Yes." When I was in Anseong before, I heard a lot of stories about the harm of this Dafa casino, and there were also some flashy children of Anseong who went to Deqing City to gamble. In the end, the family went bankrupt. ”

Chen Yuanheng's brows furrowed even more: "So this casino is very harmful, not only to the people of Deqing City." And plague several surrounding counties? ”

Lan Shanghan said: "What's more, in fact, there are casinos in every place, and this gambling word has been repeatedly banned from ancient times to the present, but there is no casino like him." The general casinos are covered and hidden, after all, gambling was banned at the beginning of the founding of the country. But he was different, he even openly built a three-story building in the south of the city, which was extremely luxurious. ”

Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "He is so arrogant? There is really no way to see the king. Hum. ”

Wang Yihe continued: "In fact, he was not so arrogant before, he used to open a small casino, which was a dark field, and then his family and Sun Deyi's family got married, so he opened this three-story Dafa casino." I heard that this casino has Sun Deyi's shares. ”

Chen Yuanheng sneered: "It's Sun Deyi's shares, and it's equivalent to Yan Songbai's shares, right?" No wonder Sun Deyi's restaurant can't be opened, the family is still so rich, and the profits of the casino are much larger than that of the restaurant. ”

Lan Shanghan said: "But what about my silk business? In fact, the silk business is not as profitable as the restaurant business, and there is no way to compare with the casino. I don't know why this Choi Jun-so doesn't like me. In fact. I've heard other colleagues say before that his Cui family doesn't care about the silk business at all, and he just uses the silk business as a cover to cover up his casino business. ”

Saying this, Chen Yuanheng understood more in his heart: "Actually, Brother Lan, you can be said to be affected by me, the reason why this Cui Junxiu suppressed you is because of me?" ”

At this moment, Lan Shanghan and Wang Yihe didn't understand: "My lord, how can it be because of you?" Even if he has a few dollars in a small business, does he dare to go against you? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Of course he doesn't dare to go against me, but the people behind him are against me, and you are just harming the pond fish." ”

Lan Shanghan said: "The person behind it is Sun Deyi, no, Sun Deyi is just a merchant, so ...... Could it be Lord Thorn? ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded slowly.

Lan Shanghan was surprised, and felt that the matter was tricky, if such a big official as Assassin Shi went against him as a merchant, then he would definitely die.

Wang Yihe said: "Although Lord Assassin Shi has a bigger official position than your lord, but you are from the Chen family, how dare he go against you?" ”

When Chen Yuanheng heard this, he smiled bitterly: "You don't know who is behind Lord Thorn Shi?" ”

Wang Yihe was surprised: "Is there still a backstage for such a big official as Lord Assassin?" ”

Chen Yuanheng was about to speak, but Lan Shanghan had already said: "Brother Wang, haven't you heard that there are people in the court who are good officials?" If he can be a thorn, naturally there are people in the court. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed when he heard this: "What Brother Lan said is that the backstage of this Lord Assassin is Brother Wang's own family. ”

Wang Yihe was surprised: "How is my family?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "The queen mother is the backstage of Lord Thorn Shi, the queen mother's surname is Wang, isn't it your own family?" ”

Wang Yihe was frightened: "Oh my God, the queen's mother? ”

Lan Shanghan couldn't hide his frightened look, he originally thought that he was assassinating Shi to deal with them, which was enough to make people feel sick, but now he actually pulled out that the queen was the queen in the background, it was really desperate.

Chen Yuanheng looked at them and laughed: "What's wrong with the queen mother?" We also have a backstage, and our backstage is my own sister, Concubine De. ”

At this moment, Lan Shanghan and Wang Yihe's heads were completely useless. Wang Yihe said directly: "Oh my God, another mother, we are a small businessman, where did we provoke a bunch of mothers?" ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed out loud when he heard this.

Lan Shanghan and Wang Yihe have been friends with Chen Yuanheng for many years, and they speak very directly, and when they saw Chen Yuanheng smiling like this, they both said helplessly: "We are all about to die, why are adults still laughing?" ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Lan, don't worry, I will deal with this matter soon, haven't you heard that the county officials are not as good as the current management?" Those ladies are far away in the capital, and we have the final say here. ”

Lan Shanghan's eyes lit up when he said this.

Wang Yihe remembered something at this time and said: "My lord, I also met an opponent in Deqing, it is the largest money bank in the local area, the Lin family's money bank, our bank business has attracted their eyes, and they will deal with me, you say, will they be the people who assassinate Lord Shi?" ”

Chen Yuanheng pondered and said: "This matter should be cautious, if it is just peer competition, I really don't want to get involved too much, you better inquire more and see if they are a gang, if they are a gang, I can't say, I will get rid of them, if not, you still have to think of a way, see if you can bring them over, come together to do bank business, we will have more and more things in the future, it is always good to have more helpers." ”

Wang Yihe nodded.

Lan Shanghan said: "Then, my lord, how are you going to deal with Choi Junxiu?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I didn't bother to fight with them anymore, so I directly asked the official to investigate his casino, and our Great Chu Dynasty law clearly wrote that gambling was prohibited, and I checked him, and no one could say anything." You know, I'm different from the previous ones, first, I'm not afraid of assassinating Lord Shi, second, the servants in my hands are all my own people, Dutou Wu Dashan is what I used when I was in Ancheng, strong martial arts, many brothers and sisters, and a native of Deqing, born and raised, familiar with people, with him, I will be able to eradicate the Cui family quickly. At that time, won't your matter be solved? ”

As soon as Lan Shanghan thought about it, he became happy and raised his glass to Chen Yuanheng. The three of them drank and went home.

After a few days, Chen Yuanheng and Wu Dashan discussed, made a careful plan, destroyed the Dafa casino in one fell swoop, seized more than 20,000 taels of silver, the original Dafa casino underground are empty, is a large cellar, more than half of it is a silver cellar, in addition to gold and silver, there are some antique calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, jewelry heads and the like. There were also more than a dozen women hidden in half, all of whom had been snatched from other provinces, abducted, and hidden underground for the high rollers who came to gamble for money.

When the people saw these dozen women being taken out of the cellar, they were all angry, and they didn't expect that the Cui family had lost their conscience to such a point, not only opening casinos to harm people, but also abducting and selling women.

Chen Yuanheng opened the court to interrogate Cui Junxiu, but unfortunately, Cui Junxiu only confessed to opening a casino, and also admitted to abducting and selling women, and also admitted that he robbed women in other provinces, but did not say who was behind the scenes. All this has already made the onlookers angry, and they all rushed to throw eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at Choi Junxiu.

As soon as Chen Yuanheng saw that the order was not good, he announced his withdrawal from the court and took Cui Junxiu to prison, planning to try it another day.

Back at home, Chen Yuanheng told his family about it, and Bai and Chen Wenhui were very angry at Cui Junxiu's abduction and trafficking of women.

Chen Yuanheng said: "It's a pity, this Cui Junxiu just doesn't assassinate Shi is his backstage, if he does, I must play the chapter and sue the assassination history, if he gets him to the stage, it will also be a blow to the queen's mother, and it will be of great help to Concubine De's mother." ”

Chen Wenhui has never learned the tricks of extorting confessions by torture, and there is nothing she can do after listening to it.

Who knows, two days later, Chen Yuanheng suddenly said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, Lord Assassin Shi is really scheming, maybe he sensed my intentions and actually sent someone to the prison to kill Cui Junxiu." ”

"Huh?" Bai and Chen Wenhui, as well as the two Chen brothers, were all taken aback. But there is no way, I can only sigh that this time I let Yan Songbai escape.

ps:

It's almost a hundred chapters, I really can't believe that I can write a hundred chapters, haha, it seems that the potential is endless, because I think I have just made a start, buried a lot of foreshadowing, and there are still a lot of big plots waiting for it.
