The ancient mansion of the south of the city.

It was cold in the mansion, and even the voices of the chief workers and maids who were walking became much softer at this time, and they did not dare to speak loudly, let alone show a trace of smiles, for fear of angering the moody master at this moment.

"The head of the family, Mushan has returned with his troops!" Above the lobby, the Gu clan gathered and one person gave up his hand to report.

"Got it!"

Gu Peng knelt in the first place, his fists clenched slightly, a dead tree-like face was extremely cold, he took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and said coldly: "Pass the order, the family up and down, from now on, act in a low-key manner, without my order, don't go to the Mushan!" ”

Xiucai said that he couldn't be a soldier.

In the prosperous times, perhaps the first of the scholars, they are rampant, and every word can be named an official and a thief, taking people's lives, but in the troubled times, there are soldiers who are kings, so they must bow their heads, otherwise it will be a disaster of destruction.

At this time, Mushan was powerful, with thousands of soldiers and horses, and even the Taishou Mansion gave in, if they and Mushan were dead, they would not be able to carry it.

The most important thing is that Makiyama are barefoot, but they wear shoes.

If Mu Shan destroys their door, it is not impossible to do it, although the consequences of doing so will make Mu Shan offend the entire Nanyang and even Jingzhou Shi clan, making it difficult for them to move an inch, but the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and Mu Shan did not do this.

And they can't afford it.

The destruction of the Zhu family is a lesson from the past.

So they have to endure this breath.

"No!"

Several family deacons glanced at each other and nodded, knowing that it would be embarrassing for a thief to bow his head, but for the sake of the family, they could only do this.

"The head of the family, the little nephew still has something to report!" A middle-aged man stepped forward.

He is the deacon in charge of the family shop, Gu Lin, who is less than forty years old, and the backbone of the family.

"Say!"

"In the past, our shops were looted and ransacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves, this matter is quite strange, not only the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion, but some merchants in the city are helping to abuse, they know where our shops and warehouses are, and the reason why we have not been able to find the looted property is also hidden by them!"

Gu Lin said: "If I hadn't paid attention recently, I found some merchant families in the city, such as the Zhang family in the silk village, the Xu family in the ironware shop, and the Sun family who opened a wine shop and teahouse...... They actually colluded with Jingping Village, and I'm afraid they are still in the dark! ”

He paused and said: "And recently, I sent people to keep an eye on these merchants' homes, and found that today there are more than a dozen heads of merchants' families and Mujing, the son of Mushan, gathered in the Chengnan Restaurant, although because they are far apart, I don't know what they are discussing, but they have always gathered together, and it is not a good thing to discuss, so I want to report to the family owner!" ”

"Merchant?"

When Gu Peng heard this, his pupils were cold, his blood was condensed, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring, and he shouted angrily: "These lowly things of theirs dare to be like this, they want to find death!" ”

He never took the so-called businessmen in his eyes.

This is a group of parasites.

is mercenary, but can only wag their tails and beg for mercy on them.

Just a bunch of dogs.

He usually obeys them, but he didn't expect that these businessmen dared to bite them hard behind them when they were most in danger, and this bite was miserable for them.

"The head of the family, these businessmen must have taken refuge in Mushan!"

Someone whispered.

"If we do it to them at this moment, wouldn't it be a provocation to Mushan!"

"Mushan is not afraid, just a reckless man!"

Someone said coldly: "If we can't teach these businessmen some lessons, wouldn't our scholars be discredited and bullied!" ”

"Humph!"

Gu Peng said coldly: "Mu Shan holds the power of the army, a certain family naturally respects him, if he uses the power of the sword soldiers, he will naturally not be able to move him, but if he really thinks that we are afraid of him, then he is too naïve, the law of this court can not tolerate a rebellious minister and thief, the county and the Lord Taishou can still tolerate him, because he has no anti, but their tolerance is limited, if the sword soldiers are forced, Mu Shan will die, so the sword soldiers do not move, and he will not dare to mess with us!" ”

He was afraid of Mushan.

But it doesn't mean that Mushan can be rampant and domineering, as the so-called division is famous, even if Mushan wants to send troops to level them, he must have a name, otherwise he is a thief, Nanyang will not tolerate him, Jingzhou will not tolerate him, and the world will not tolerate him.

"What does the head of the house mean?"

"Don't these businessmen think that if they take refuge in Mushan, they will be able to compete with us?"

Gu Peng said sarcastically, and said with a sneer: "Then let him know that the scholar clan is not allowed to provoke, and tell all families and clans that from now on, boycott all merchants close to Jingping Village, let them have no goods to sell, let them have no goods to buy, they have no labor, no source, but just rely on the profits from reselling, I will see how long they can survive!" ”

"No!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes brightened.

*************************

In the middle of the restaurant.

"Big shopkeeper, there is something to ask for!" Zhang Heng suddenly spoke.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Mu Jing put down the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile.

"In the past, we helped the Jingping soldiers and ransacked the warehouse of the Shi clan, this matter can no longer be hidden, they have noticed that we are interfering in it, and they must be extremely angry!" Zhang Heng stood up and arched his hand and said: "The city sergeant clan has always been arrogant and domineering, and they will not run us to resist them, they may not dare to disobey the county lieutenant, but if they attack us, they will definitely be ruthless!" ”

"So ......"

Zhang Heng said loudly: "Please also ask the big shopkeeper to take action and save my lives!" ”

"Please take the big shopkeeper and save my lives!"

And they all gave up.

Their fear of the warriors goes deep into the marrow and soul.

"Do you want me to ask my father to come forward and warn these nobles?" Mu Jing played with the wine cup with his right hand, and said calmly: "It's not impossible, we will advance and retreat together, in the past, you were also to assist me, it is reasonable, I should carry this matter, but ......"

His voice made everyone's hearts slightly happy, but as soon as his words changed, everyone became a little nervous, and they looked at Mu Jing with a pair of eyes.

Mu Jing raised his head, his eyes swept over, and he looked directly at everyone: "Are you willing to let the Shi clan hold you down for the rest of your life?" ”

"What else can we do if we don't press it?"

Everyone smiled bitterly.

"There's a great opportunity now!" Mu Jing said.

"Opportunity?"

"What a chance!"

Everyone looked at Mu Jing and frowned a little.

"A chance to rebel!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "The strength of others is always empty, only their own strength is relied on, my father can come forward, if it is forceful pressure, they must not dare to be too presumptuous, but let our businessmen always make people look down on us, thinking that we can only hide under people, dare not raise our heads and be ......."

His voice changed: "But if we can rely on our own strength to resist the oppression of the scholars, then we can stand in the world as merchants!" ”

"It's easy to say, but the big shopkeeper, how can we merchants stop the scholars?"

The mood of the people is not high, and how many times the lessons tell them that the rebel clan will not end well, and they are already a little numb.

"Why can't you stop it?"

Mu Jing's calm face had a touch of evil: "My father led the troops in the town to suppress the Quartet, how dare they use the sword soldiers, they can't use the power of the sword soldiers, the so-called scholars, but there is only one mouth left, don't you even have this bit of courage?" ”

"The big shopkeeper is right!"

"There is a county lieutenant who led troops to suppress Wuyin, whoever dares to mess around will be slaughtered, so our safety has been guaranteed!"

"If that's the case, it's already hostile anyway, so it's okay to block it!"

“……”

When everyone heard this, their mentality began to change a little.

"The big shopkeeper, it's not that we don't want to wait, but in every corner of this county, there are tentacles of the scholars, even among the merchants, we are just a fraction, and most of them are obeying the orders of the scholars!"

Zhang Heng pondered for a while, and arched his hand and said, "I'm afraid I don't have much chance of winning!" ”

"If you haven't tried, how do you know success or failure, are you willing?" Mu Jing looked at Zhang Heng: "Zhang Heng, they joined Jingping Commercial Bank not only to survive, but also for dignity, don't you want this dignity?" ”

"Since the big shopkeeper has such ambitions, why don't you hesitate to fight, please ask the big shopkeeper to command!" Zhang Heng clenched his fists, after all, he was stimulated by Mu Jing's fighting spirit, Mu Jing was right, he still had to gamble, just bet on dignity.
