When Yang Dao found out the fact that the Luye Freemasons were split, Huang Shao knew that he was in trouble.

As the bandit on the other side said, the power of his Luye Freemasonry is indeed far less than it was a year ago.

A year ago, when Zhao Yu, the second son of the Zhao family, was still there, what a beautiful scenery he was in the Lu Ye Freemasonry, driving the dignified Ruyang Zheng family out of the place of origin, forcing Liu Yi to go to Ye County to beg Mao Gong to come forward to help, although they were reprimanded by Mao Gong afterwards, but every businessman in the Chamber of Commerce was still enthusiastic.

In this era when the world generally despises businessmen, when they join forces, they can shake the century-old family, and even a county magistrate is terrified because of them.

As a result, many businessmen realized that they could also form a great force.

And when many businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce were ready to regain the dignity of businessmen and change the status of businessmen under the leadership of the second son of the Zhao family, bad news came......

The Luyang Zhao clan was destroyed, and Zhao Jing, the marquis of Luyang, his wife Zhou, his eldest son Zhao Yin, and the real leader of his Luye Freemasonry, Zhao Yu, the second son of the Zhao family, were destroyed by Liangcheng's army overnight.

Afterwards, notices were posted in Luyang and Yexian counties, pointing out that the Zhao family in Luyang had colluded with the rebels and plotted to rebel.

Zhao Jing, the township marquis of Luyang, is the sage of Luyang, how many refugees have fled from Wannan and Wanbei with one trick of 'work for relief'?

And Zhao Yu, the second son born to this townsman and his wife Zhou, is even more intelligent, and the businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce have compared him to Ganluo, who was twelve years old during the Qin period.

Fathers and sons like this, actually say that they colluded with the rebels?

It's ridiculous!

You must know that before the Zhao family of Luyang was killed, he raised more than 100,000 stones of grain and rice for Wang Shangde of Wancheng, and Wang Shangde took this batch of grain and grass to inspire the army and crusade against the rebellion in Nanjun.

Since the Zhao father and son colluded with the rebels, why did they help Wang Shangde raise grain and grass?

Isn't that inconsistent?

Coupled with the sudden death of Mao Jue, the county commander of Yexian County, Huang Shao instinctively felt that there was something strange in this.

When he mentioned this to his brother Huang Fu, his brother concluded that the Zhao father and son must have offended some great dignitaries in China......

"Fur ......"

Huang Shao exhaled slightly.

Like his brother Huang Fu, he admired the second son of the Zhao family very much, because the second son used his wit and skill to twist these merchants, or the family that took business as their family business, into a whole, and made them realize that when they were united, they could have such a powerful power.

But unfortunately, after the death of the second son, the Luye Freemasonry was divided......

Wei Pu and Lu Kuang competed with each other for the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, and fought for it, the second son was gone, Mao Gong also died, and no one could stop them - although during this period, Liu Wei, the county commander of Luyang, also tried to intervene, hoping to resolve the contradictions between the two sides, but unfortunately, Wei Pu and Lu Kuang did not listen to the advice of this Liu Gong.

Also, Liu Wei is the county commander of Luyang County, and Wei Pu and Lu Kuang are both businessmen in Ye County, if anyone can suppress these two, there will only be Zhao Yu, the second son of the Zhao family, and Mao Jue, the county commander of Ye County, but unfortunately, these two are gone.

Just three or four months later, Wei Pu's group was defeated and expelled from Luyang and Yexian by Lü Kuang and others, and then they all lost their territory in Runan, Jiaxian and other places, and with the support of the rest of the merchants, Lü Kuang became the president of the Luye Freemasonry.

But obviously Wei Pu's merchants will not be willing to fail, they moved their family business to Linru, Ruyang, Lunshi counties, they helped the second son of the Zhao family to defeat the Zheng family in Ruyang in those counties, in Rushui counties have a certain foundation, under the persecution of Lu Kuang and other forces, Wei Pu and others settled in Ruyang, with this as the basic plate, established another Luye Freemasonry.

In order to distinguish it from the Luye Freemasons of Lu Kuang and others, Wei Pu and others changed their flags.

Originally, the banner of the Luye Freemasonry was based on green and green, and the words 'Luye Freemasonry' were written above the banner, and three mountains were outlined below, representing Lushan, Yingshan and Woniu Mountain in Luyang and Yexian respectively.

After Wei Pu and his group moved to Ruyang, they changed the pattern of the three mountains to Rushui, and the background color was also changed to cyan, except for the words above the flag, which was still Lu Ye Gongji.

However, because of this, he will be ridiculed by Lu Kuang and others as Rushui Freemasonry.

Huang Shao, like his brother Huang Fu, was not interested in the fight between Wei Pu and Lu Kuang, but under the tense atmosphere of 'white and black' in the Chamber of Commerce at that time, they chose Lu Kuang and others, who had a greater chance of winning.

Sure enough, Lu Kuang lived up to expectations and defeated Wei Pu.

But Huang Shao also dealt with Wei Pu's gang in private, and he knew that Wei Pu and the others' purpose was very clear, they wanted to recapture Ye County and regain the orthodoxy of the Luye Freemasons - although the word 'orthodoxy' was used here a bit awkwardly, it was undeniable that this was the purpose of Wei Pu and others.

After all, Wei Pu and Lu Kuang both insisted that they were the successors of the second son of the Zhao family.

In short, the Luye Freemasonry that was beautiful back then was like a flash in the pan, with the passing of the second son of the Zhao family, it quickly went from peak to weakness, although Lu Kuang and Wei Pu each controlled a Freemasonry, but compared to a year ago, it was far inferior.

The most favorable evidence is that Wei Pu and Lu Kuang, neither of them can have the skills of the second son of the Zhao family.

When the second prince was there, Wang Shangde acquiesced to the Wancheng Military Market under his command to purchase the goods provided by the Luye Freemasons at a price that exceeded the market price by two percent, but now that the second prince is gone, the purchase price of the military market has suddenly fallen back to the market price.

Even so, the two Luye Freemasons of Wei and Lu still had to spend a lot of effort to deal with Kong Jian, who presided over the military market, to win him over, to curry favor with him, and to ask him not to suppress prices.

Bow and scrape!

Grovel!

When the second son of the Zhao family was still there, did this Kong Jian dare to speak up? !

"Hey, that Huang Shao, what do you say?!"

In the distance, the shouts of the mountain thief Guo Da interrupted Huang Shao's thoughts.

Huang Shao frowned and looked at the other side.

According to what Cao Ju said at that time, the second prince originally planned to unite everyone to raise a sum of money to crusade against these bandits, and even, it is said that the second prince can also invite the army of Wancheng, but unfortunately, the second prince still had time to arrange, and he encountered a catastrophe, coupled with the later battle between Wei Pu and Lu Kuang, no one in the chamber of commerce did this at all. So much so that the hidden dangers of these bandits remain to this day.

"Ugh."

Huang Shao sighed, temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and shouted to the other side: "Rong Huang thinks for a moment." ”

"I'll give you another hundred breaths." Guo Da in the distance shouted loudly: "This is the last chance, if you don't obey, I will kill you!" ”

"Good, good."

Huang Shao pacified the other side, jumped out of the carriage, and asked the guard beside him: "Wei Chong, if you want to repel them, how many men will you probably lose?" Give me an approximate number. ”

The guard named Wei Chong said in embarrassment: "This is really hard to say, the thieves in the world, the strength is uneven, if the other side is just a bluff, we can win without hurting a single person; But if there is indeed strength on the other side, then the second master must be prepared......"

Hearing this, Huang Shao's eyelids jumped.

What preparation? Get ready for money!

Burying the dead guards, hiring new ones, it all costs money!

In the past two years, with the gradual growth of the Talu Ye Freemasonry in Luyang, Yexian, Runan, Ruyang and other counties, trade in various counties has become more and more frequent, which has directly or indirectly driven many industries in various counties, including the escort industry.

The reason is that all places have not been peaceful in recent years, and the same is true in Luyang, Yexian, Runan, Ruyang and other places, and the second son of the Zhao family did not have time to solve the problem of bandits and rogues along the way, which made the Luye Freemasons only adopt the old method, that is, to hire guards to protect the caravan.

Thinking about the scale of the Luye Freemasonry, a large combined caravan can easily travel with hundreds of carriages, and if you don't bring enough guards, can you travel with confidence?

In short, the size of the Luye Freemasonry has greatly stimulated the escort industry, whether it is a local who knows a little boxing and kicks, knows how to use weapons, or a ranger who comes to the nearby counties, as long as they know how to do martial arts, they have changed their careers to become guards.

But the guard is not easy to do, it is the employer's life money, if you still want to mix in this business, then you can only stubbornly advance and retreat with the master's family, if the master's family asks to repel the invading bandits, then you must risk your life.

Of course, on the other hand, the owner of the employer, will not casually let the guards die, after all, the money to buy a life, that is, the money for a certain number of years of the buyout guard, is a large expense.

If there are too many dead guards, they will have to pay for new people, and the people hired will not necessarily be loyal.

After thinking about it, Huang Shao finally came up with a more secure method: "Wei Chong, you take two people to try the opposite side, if the opposite side is strong, let's hand over a few cars." …… Don't be impulsive, if you die, not only will your family lose their support, but I will have to find someone else, and I may not be able to find a suitable one. ”

Wei Chong smiled and said, "Thank you for the second master's compassion, Wei is measured." ”

Hearing this, Huang Shao nodded, jumped into the carriage again, and shouted to the bandit opposite: "The king on the other side, what do you think of this?" You and I each send three people, if the king wins, Huang will leave a few carriages according to the king's wishes; If we are lucky enough to win, the kings will let us pass. ”

"Yes!"

After exchanging glances with Chen Mo and Wang Qing, Yang Tong responded with a laugh.

The dignified owner of the village naturally does not need to end up in person.

In the end, Yang Tong's side sent Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Niu Heng, and almost easily defeated Wei Chong and the other three guards.

Especially Wei Chong, he was defeated by Chen Mo within a few moves, and his face was dazed, it was unbelievable.

Seeing this, Huang Shao didn't dare to hesitate anymore, honestly handed over five carts of goods, and fled with the remaining twenty or so carriages.

Although Yang Tong was a little reluctant to let the remaining twenty or so carriages escape from his hands, in order to realize the ambition of 'Yingshan Tiger', he finally listened to Zhao Yu's advice and allowed the caravan to leave in good faith.

When the rest of the bandits cheered that Yu Bing had snatched five carts of goods, including horses and carriages, Zhao Yu watched the carriages flying the banner of Luye Mutual Aid quickly flee.

Although he had a certain responsibility, he was still very disappointed when he learned that the Luye Freemasonry split into two branches because of the relationship between Wei Pu and Lu Kuang.

However, this also helped him to regain control of the Luye Freemasonry in the future.

That was originally the Chamber of Commerce he had established, and he would eventually regain it, including the rest of the family businesses that originally belonged to his Zhao family, by that time......

『…… I will rebuild the Luyang Zhao clan!"

Thinking in his heart, Zhao Yu pinched the tender little hand in his hand.

Jing Nu looked at her puzzled, looking inexplicable.
