"Where's the second son?" Wei Qi hurried back to the mansion from the seal prison, and without saying a word, he asked Wei Zhongdao's whereabouts.

"In the backyard!"

The butler bowed his hand and whispered a retribution.

Wei Qi went straight into a courtyard in the backyard, opened the door and rushed in directly: "Wei Zhongdao, do you want to die?" ”

"I don't understand what my brother means!"

Wei Zhongdao was dressed in a white robe, kneeling on a bamboo mat, holding a book in his hand, fascinated by it, and when he saw Wei Qi, his expression was very calm.

"Look at this!" Wei Qi threw him a copy of the imperial court wanted list in his hand.

"Wanted Wang Yue?"

Wei Zhongdao's expression sank slightly: "Mu Jing is actually not dead!" ”

"It's you!" Wei Qi gritted his teeth and said, "You are so bold! ”

The friendship between Wang Yue and Wei's is not known by many people in the world, and he happens to be one of them.

Mu Jing was assassinated, and he was just worried at first.

But when he heard the news that the Ranger King Yanshan Sword Saint Wang Yue had assassinated Mu Jing, he was panicked at the first time, Wang Yue would not assassinate Mu Jing for no reason, there must be a reason.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Wei Zhongdao denied it.

"Humph!"

Wei Qi stared at him with gloomy cold eyes: "It's okay for you to find death by yourself, but if you dare to drag down the entire Wei family, you should die, from today onwards, you must not take a step out of the house, and reflect on it quietly!" ”

What he wanted was an answer, not Wei Zhongdao's admission, and it was impossible for him to twist Wei Zhongdao to confess his guilt in front of Mu Jing.

He had the answer, and he had the response.

"Why are you?"

"Just because I am the head of your Wei family!"

Wei Qi shouted: "Someone! ”

"In!"

The guards walked in from the outside.

"Pass my order, up and down the Wei Mansion, you must not enter the courtyard of the second son, and from today onwards, the second son will not be allowed to go out of the courtyard!" After Wei Qi gave the order, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"Yes!"

Several guards looked at each other and gave up their orders.

In the family, the orders of the head of the family are above all else, including the laws of the imperial court.

"Wei Bocha, one day you will regret it!" Wei Zhongdao shouted as hard as he could, but the gate of this courtyard was closed, as if he had been locked in a cold palace.

Wei Qi returned to his courtyard, paced back and forth, and began to think about countermeasures: "Wang Yue should escape, as long as he is not caught, then there is still a chance!" ”

"But if he gets caught......"

"Damn Wei Zhongdao!"

The emotional changes in Wei Qi's pupils are getting faster and faster, this time he is very passive, this may not be exposed, but it is a hidden danger, once Mu Jing knows that Wei Zhongdao ordered the assassination, I am afraid that Wei's will be in a big disaster.

"Let's go and see how Mulongtu's injuries are first!"

Wei Qi didn't dare to discuss this matter with anything, so he took a few guards, brought some treasured herbs, set up a carriage, and went to Taifu's mansion.

……

……

The assassination of Mu Jing caused a boiling soup in Luoyang City, which made the strength of all parties in the entire Luoyang City begin to become impatient, but in the end, it was quietly silent.

When Mushan ordered, the gate of the Quartet was reopened, the violent bear returned to the camp, and the southern army was withdrawn, the strength of all parties had already realized that Mu Jing, the most expensive second-generation power today, should have escaped death this time.

Some people rejoice.

There are also people who feel a trace of regret.

There are people of all moods.

But the city of Luoyang can be regarded as calm restored.

Of course, the so-called peace is just a calm on face, Mu Jing was assassinated, which touched the nerves of too many people under his command, and this matter cannot be passed so simply.

In the city, an ordinary courtyard, leaning on the side of the East Market, is in the middle of the square street entrance, which seems to be hidden, but there are exits in all directions.

This is Keibuji's stronghold.

The foundation of Jing Wusi is in Nanyang, but it is not just duckweed in Luoyang, after all, it has been arranged for a little time, and there are more or less a lot of network power, and it has also controlled some of the underlying forces and developed a lot of shadows.

But this dereliction of duty made Tan Zong shameless to face Mu Jing.

Tan Zong is very young, but his mind is very gloomy, this time Mu Jing was assassinated, which made him feel ashamed, it was because he didn't get any news that Mu Jing would suffer a life and death catastrophe.

"Mo Fan, did you find anything?" So Tan Zong started to go crazy.

"Report to your lord, no trace has been found so far!"

This is a Luoyang ranger, after being surrounded and captured by Tan Zong with a strong crossbow with soldiers, he was tempted by a lot of money and took refuge in Jingwusi, as the head snake in Luoyang, Mo Fan's serpentine sword is also well-known in Luoyang.

"The Yanshan Sword Saint has come to Luoyang, and there is no news from the rangers in Luoyang?" Tan Zong's eyes were very cold, and the light in his eyes condensed two cold blades, as if he wanted to penetrate Mo Fan's chest.

"My lord, the Yanshan Sword Saint is the king of the rangers, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he can not be known much!"

Mo Fan said: "However, there are rumors in the world that he has been traveling near Luoyang in recent years, and the reason is because he has accepted a disciple!" ”

"Disciple?"

Tan Zong's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Start from here to investigate, find out his disciples, I don't believe that he can hide in the dog hole!" ”

"No!"

More than a dozen rangers took the lead.

……

……

The assassination came to an end, but Mu Jing was considered to have suffered a lot this time, he was stabbed with a sword, and his heart was injured, and he had to cultivate on the bed for more than a month, and he couldn't work hard this month.

But he is also a person who can't sit still, and where he lies every day, his bones are about to rust.

It's just that he doesn't dare to disobey Zhang Ning's will now, who let his little life be pinched in Zhang Ning's hands, under the extremely shameless stalking, he finally took out two hours of free time under Zhang Ning's harsh recuperation conditions.

Two hours was enough time for him to do a lot of things.

"Do you really want to move the salt market in Luoyang?" In the Accord, Xi Zhicai was sorting out the information, and there were articles on it about the planning of this Yanba Campaign, many of which were from Mu Jing's hands, which opened his eyes.

He never knew that there were so many means among the lowly and humble merchants.

"Jingping Commercial Bank is already imperative!"

Mu Jing sat lazily next to the windowsill, wrapped in a tiger jacket, basking in the sun, and said: "They want to open a new market, want to try the water of Luoyang, although there is some impulse, but I still agree, this Luoyang merchants, is a force, can't be used for it, then replace it, sooner or later have to move!" ”

"I'm afraid that the price of salt will be messed up, and it will alarm the imperial court!" Xi Zhicai said worriedly: "Salt is a relatively special commodity, which must be used in life, but the supply is not much, and the imperial court has always paid great attention to the sale of salt, and rarely allows the appearance of private salt!" ”

"Because of this, the salt market is so important to the whole market!"

"Now that you've decided, let's make a move!"

Xi Zhicai shrugged his shoulders and said: "I took a look, the background of Jingping Commercial Bank is not low, and with such a collection of wealth, it should be a try, I'm afraid that they won't be enough in the ** base, so don't have too much hope for this matter!" ”

"I know this, so I asked Zhang Heng to contact the Luoshui He family, if there is a Luoshui He family to deal with us, then there is hope to dominate Luoyang Salt City!"

"There are five major households in Luoyang Salt City, why is it He?"

"Because this He family is an outsider!"

Mu Jing replied: "I have already checked, the other four salt merchants have been based in Luoyang for at least more than 20 years, and each of them has an inextricable relationship with the wealthy family behind him, in the final analysis, he is a lackey, and the He family has only risen for a few years, but it is a foreign killing, and it must have some dependence on to obtain a position in the salt market!" ”

"There must be something behind the He family, otherwise they won't be able to gain a foothold in the salt market in Luoyang!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Of course I understand!"

The pastor nodded: "I'm also investigating the situation, but I believe that even if they have a relationship between you and the family, the relationship is not so strong, and it can be used by me!" ”

"Hope it is as you wish!" Xi Zhicai said.

He knew that Mu Jing didn't have much time to stock, so he changed to another topic: "Wang Yue Tongyuan disappeared in this Luoyang City, what do you think!" ”

"It can only be said that they are not stupid!"

Mu Jing smiled bitterly.

"But it's not the same thing for the clan to let them be in secret!"

"I won't be able to force them for a while!" Mu Jing shook his head: "Even if I am willing to risk my life, my father is probably not willing!" ”

"Speaking of Master Taifu, I'm a little strange!"

"Strange?" Mu Jing squinted his eyes and glanced at Xi Zhicai: "What's so strange?" ”

"Lord Taifu's character, I can be considered to have figured out one or two, it stands to reason that this matter is so big, Lord Taifu is not so easy to give up, but he quickly quieted down, I suspect it has something to do with the palace!"

"You mean the palace has put pressure on him!" Mu Jing frowned.

"It doesn't have to be stress!"

Xi Zhicai said: "You wrote to me before, and I thought about a few things, Guangxi's son of heaven has a city government, which is worth paying attention to, but it is the queen mother who should be paid more attention to!" ”

"Empress Dowager He?" Mu Jing was a little confused: "Why?" ”

"She seems to have the intention of using Master Taifu to stabilize the dynasty, which is a good thing, but it is the means she uses, I have thought about it a little, then ......"

Xi Zhicai's words that didn't come out made Mu Jing a little irritable.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Mujing drank low.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass!"

"Impossible!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "That's Empress Dowager He, my father has such courage!" ”

"Who knows!" Xi Zhicai smiled indifferently.

Mu Jing's face sank.

The two of them stopped talking about the topic here, and they both knew in their hearts that if Xi Zhicai's guess became a fact, then the matter would be complicated.

"How is the expansion of the Jingping Army?" Mu Jing let out a breath of turbid breath and turned the topic to a difficult one.

"At present, it is going well, the expansion of the army has been completed, it depends on the next training run-in!"

Xi Zhicai replied: "Zhang Liao is indeed a handsome talent, Chen Zhi is still too tender, he can accomplish things that Chen Zhi can't do in a short period of time, whether it is recruitment, training, means and talents are far above a few of them!" ”

"Otherwise, I would have held him so seriously!" Mu Jing smirked.

"I'm afraid he has something in mind!"

"It's okay!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "He is still under my control for the time being, and he will not be out of my control for a short time, as for the future, I will talk about it later!" ”

……

……

Entering November, the cold winter is coming, and the snow is shrouded in the sun.

On the banks of the Luoshui River.

A pleasing wooden building on top of it.

"Shopkeeper He, please!" A pot of warm wine, a few side dishes, two middle-aged people sitting opposite each other, Zhang Heng, who raised the wine cup, he toasted the middle-aged man in the brocade robe in front of him.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is polite!"

He Yu responded with a smile, taking a sip of the warm wine in the cup.

"The recent movement in the salt market, what does Shopkeeper He think!" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Salt City is not static!"

He Yu was really calm and said with a smile: "It's normal for the price to change a little!" ”

"In three days, the average price has risen from 7,800 yuan per stone to 9,100 yuan per stone, is this normal?" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is very aware of the trend of this market!" He Yu raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Heng.

"Since I want to sell salt, of course I need to find out!"

Zhang Heng shrugged.

"I can't see that the shopkeeper has the ambition to sell salt!" He Yu said calmly: "Jingping Commercial House in Nanyang is not an expert in selling salt, and there is no salt to sell in Nanyang!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Hengda smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything!" ”

"Shopkeeper Zhang came with all his might, and I naturally can't be a fool, so I made a small inquiry!" He Yu said calmly.

"How does the shopkeeper know why I'm here?"

Zhang Heng squinted his eyes and examined He Yu, he had been in contact three times, from the previous two temptations to the upcoming showdown, this man made him very jealous, and he had a trace of incomprehensible feeling.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Shopkeeper Zhang!" He Yudao.

"Not necessarily!"

Zhang Heng said: "I don't believe that Shopkeeper He will be satisfied with the status quo!" ”

"My family business is not big, and I don't dare to toss!" He Yu shrugged.

"It's not a friend, it's an enemy, in this war, you can go around, it's weightless salt merchants, since we Jingping Commercial Bank dare to come, we have been fully prepared, the salt market in Luoyang, we are determined to win, who is behind us who is supporting, presumably He shopkeeper also understands one or two in his heart!"

Zhang Heng's face gradually turned positive, looked at He Yu, and said coldly.

He Yu's pupils changed slightly: "Why should the shopkeeper be aggressive!" “

"I'm not aggressive, I don't believe that among the five major salt merchants in Luoyang, the shopkeeper He will be willing to bow down to the He family forever!" Zhang Heng said: "

"This matter is too big, and it is difficult for me to make decisions alone!"

He Yu said: "Shopkeeper Zhang gave me three days, three days later, whether it is an enemy or a friend, I He Yu will give you an answer!" ”

"Good!"

Zhang Heng did not continue to oppress: "I'll give you three days!" ”

He stood up, turned around and left, and before leaving, he left a sentence: "Shopkeeper He, I hope that the next time we drink will not be a scene of life and death!" ”

Above the attic, He Yu slowly stood up, looked at the drifting snow outside, and sighed: "This wind and snow came so quickly, I can't avoid it after all!" ”

"Big brother, Childe is here!"

About a quarter of an hour later, a man in his thirties walked up briskly and whispered in He Yu's ear: "I am waiting in the house!" ”

"Hahaha, it's just the right time!"

When He Yu heard this, his gloomy face suddenly opened a smile, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself.

Such a big matter, if there is no son in charge, he really can't make a decision.
