"Zuo Jinglun has good acting skills." He Liangyuan laughed and said: "Today's news, the three members of our cabinet all know that this matter is inseparable from Wang Xiao, and they all pretend not to know. Among them, Zuo Jinglun is the most shameless, and 'the horse is down, has the Bauhinia Pass been lost'? Heh, acting. Can he not know where those people came from? ”

He Zhengxiao said: "That is to say...... The court and the central government don't dare to make the king laugh? ”

"The power of the army is in the hands of others, how can it be used?" He Liangyuan said: "What do you think Lu Zhengchu went to Liaodong for?" The old man only now can see that his hand is high. forced the hypocrisy to be real, broke away from the capital as a dead place, and went to hold the Guanning army...... Retreat as advance, old fox. ”

"So what do we do?"

"I heard that Wang Xiao is going to go out of Beijing to preside over the epidemic prevention in the four northern provinces, and I will have my own arrangements at that time." He Liangyuan waved his hand and said, "First of all, in front of you, this Tang thief and horse robbery is really decided, have you thought of the reason?" ”

He Zhengxiao pondered: "He wants food? After he contacted the Cui family, the Cui family's food prices began to drop. Now other grain merchants in Beijing are waiting for the Cui family's grain to be sold out...... But if he is allowed to transport grain back from Xuanfu, I am afraid that the price of grain will not rise this winter. ”

"That's just one aspect." He Liangyuan said: "On the other hand, Wang Xiao's so-called military power is only a card in his hand, and he may not really be able to play it." Only when the food and salary are in place, can those military powers truly belong to him. What he wants is far more than the nobles of those small families in Zhending Mansion. The fattest group of people in the world is still in the capital. ”

"But Jingzhong Xungui doesn't dare to fight him hard now."

He Liangyuan groaned: "He wants to drink soup, then we will take the pot away, which is called 'drawing from the bottom of the kettle'." When the time comes, it will be up to him to get his food and salary, and hold the power of the army......"

~~

After He Jingyao, the head of the He family, fell seriously ill, the power of the He family fell on the eldest son He Yao.

Jingzhong called He Jue 'He Dagongzi', but this 'Gongzi' was seventy-seven years old at the time, and the eldest grandson was eight years old.

At this age, He Jue's heart to become the head of the family became more and more urgent.

"This is He Gong's letter ......"

He Jue took it, his face was a little worried, and after thinking for a long time, he summoned his henchman, He Cheng.

After He Cheng came, He Jue said, "The situation is not very good, I need a ship...... Where did Lao Jiu go today? ”

The He family has fourteen brothers, who are in charge of different affairs in the family. Now the only one who is not under He Yao's control is He Wan, who is ranked ninth and is in charge of the domestic sea trade.

Now that the situation in the capital is treacherous, He Wan came back at this time, and He Wan couldn't help but pay attention to it, and asked him about his whereabouts several times a day.

He went to the Joke Industrial Park. Three carriages were changed on the way, but the old man followed. ”

He Yao frowned and said, "He went to see Wang Xiao?" This thief! But he has not been in the capital for a long time, how can he easily gain Wang Xiao's trust? ”

He Cheng said in a low voice: "Uncle should still remember the so-called 'plan' he received from a coal shop in July?" ”

"Laughing about the coal shop?" He Jue touched the short beard on his lips, and said with some annoyance: "Lao Jiu and Wang Xiao have just cooperated in this business, what can a little friendship in this kind of business be worth!" ”

That being said, he actually regretted it.

At that time, he didn't pay attention to the financing plan at all - but a small cinder business, a nobody named 'Wang Laohu', dared to come to the door to talk to the He family about business?

Later, knowing that Wang Laohu was the horse Wang Xiao, He Jue was a little lucky, glad that he was not touched by this disaster.

I didn't expect it to be ...... now

The situation is getting too fast, and business is not going to be easy.

"Uncle, don't forget, the ninth master and Wang Zhen were classmates and friends back then." He Cheng reminded again.

"Ha, brothers have to turn against each other, classmates more than ten years ago?" He Jue thought for a while, and suddenly said: "You say, Lao Jiu really has that kind of vision, and at that time, he saw that Ming Wang Xiao could have today's momentum?" ”

He Chengdao: "At that time, I saw that although Wang Xiao was not good, he was still immature. At that time, he was a quasi-concubine, but he still dared to let his concubine blatantly come out to talk about business, and he was by no means an old man. I didn't expect such a flawed person, so many people didn't defeat him, obviously some luck...... As for the Ninth Master, it was just luck. ”

"Luck?" He Jue said angrily: "A thing born of a cheap maid has not died after drifting on the sea for twelve years. It only cost 30,000 taels of silver to catch up with a powerful person in Beijing, who gave him such luck? ”

He Cheng was a little unsure of how to answer.

How fast did the Lu family react at that time? Without hesitation, he threw the iron ore to Wang Xiao, and as soon as Xi'an City was broken, he immediately moved his family business out of the capital. Now he lives in the south, and he also cooperates with Wang Xiao in several mines in the north.

The ninth master's reaction was not slow, and he pasted it himself to invest in silver.

It's just that my uncle just can't look down on it. What's the use of talking about it now?

"Uncle also wants to take refuge in Wang Xiao? You can contact ......."

He Yao only thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "No! Our He family is acting as an agent for the business of Jingzhong Xungui, which is the foundation. What Wang Xiao wants to steal is the money and food of these people, and he can only dig out his bones and suck the marrow by taking refuge in the past. ”

"However, when the Ninth Master went to see Wang Xiao at this time, it must be to use his strength to deal with the uncle."

He Jue scolded: "Eat things inside and outside!" In order to deal with his brother-in-law, he did not hesitate to take refuge in the foreign enemy who dug up the foundation of my He family, and sooner or later he would ruin this family business, which is simply a mouse's eye! ”

Although He Yao has a bad temper, he is not a mediocre person after a lifetime of ups and downs in the business sea. scolded and scolded, and the anger in his heart passed, and he began to arrange.

"Go, find He Fengshou, and then call my younger brothers."

"Yes."

After a while, He Fengshou came over cautiously and saluted, "I've seen the eldest young master." ”

He Jue said, "Do you know why I called you over?" ”

"Little ones don't know."

"You have treated your ninth brother well since you were a child, but unfortunately he has an extreme temperament and is good at gambling, so he has to go to sea to mix. What kind of suffering should a rich child suffer? He Jue smiled and said: "The eldest brother is like a father, I should find a way for him to make a living." It just so happens that now I am planning to move my family business to the south. At that time, the business of cloth and tea wants to be handed over to the ninth brother, do you think it is good? ”

He Fengshou was a little surprised, and said in a low voice: "This kind of thing, how can a small one interject." ”

He Jue sighed: "I know that the ninth brother used to rely on Lord Lu. But now it's different, Lord Lu has resigned from the position of first assistant and wants to go to Liaodong in person. He is old, but he still has to suffer from this wind and frost, and he doesn't know when he can come back. Without this relationship, it would be difficult for maritime trade to do. ”

He Fengshou lowered his head, knowing that He Wan was telling himself: He Wan's backer was gone.

"What does the eldest young master want?"

"Let's put it bluntly, I need a boat, and I am willing to exchange the cloth and tea business for the boat in the hands of the ninth brother."

"However, the little one can't persuade the Ninth Young Master." He Fengshou said.

"I know." He Jue said: "Then there is no need to persuade. You give me a list of his henchmen, and then let people sail the ship to Tianjin Wei. Remember, I want all the boats. ”

"This ......," He Fengshou planned to refuse.

"Your wife, children, and mother, I have sent someone to the south."

He Fengshou trembled when he heard this, raised his head to look, and saw a smile on He Jue's face.

"Go ahead and do it. I only need a boat, and the ninth brother is my sibling, I will treat him well, and I don't need to worry about you, an old man......"

~~

After He Fengshou withdrew, after a while, several brothers of the He family came in one after another.

He Jue has been in business for many years and is the best at controlling his face, and the kind smile on his face has been replaced by a worried color.

He put down the teacup, got up and said, "You still have the heart to eat, drink and be merry, do you know what time the He family has reached?!" ”

"There's nothing going on in this capital......

"Bastard!" He Jue scolded: "I didn't realize that the catastrophe was coming, aren't you afraid that the old family of the Wen family will repeat itself on our He family?!" ”

"But, big brother, none of us have offended......"

He Jue scolded: "No one has been offended? Pifu is not guilty, but Huaibi is guilty. ”

As he spoke, he slapped a letter on the table.

"A bunch of idiots, see for yourself."

"This ...... Could this be alarmist? Wang Xiao has no grudges and no grudges against us, how can it move to us? ”

"Still asking? When you took over the proprietors behind the Wen family, you didn't think that there would be this day? He Jue said with a gloomy face: "Also, Lao Jiu went to find Wang Xiao today." ”

"How can Lao Jiu be like this?!" The lobby was immediately fried.

"How can you find outsiders to help?"

He Jue raised his hand and said, "The Lu family ran away, Zheng Yuanhua also ran away, and now Lu Zhengchu also plans to run." We can't go wrong by following these smart people. ”

"Big brother is saying he wants to escape? But our family business is all in this capital......"

"The family business is not important, the foundation is important." He Jue said, "I want you to contact all the proprietors. Tell them that Wang Xiao will leave Beijing in a few days, and if he wants to run, this is the best opportunity. My He family has prepared a big boat, and I asked them if they would like to put the belongings they have saved in several lifetimes into another basket. ”

"Boats? But the matter of sea trade is now in the hands of Lao Jiu. ”

As soon as everyone looked up, they saw a murderous intent on He Yao's face......
