———— the following text————

Despite the treacherous process, he finally succeeded in forcing Kong Jian to back down, which lifted the spirits of Huang Shao and the rest of the Yexian merchants.

After returning to the Wei Freemasonry Merchant House and explaining what had happened to the people in the firm, Huang Shao and several Yexian businessmen held a meeting in the house where they were staying.

During the meeting, a businessman asked Huang Shao: "Since Kong Jian has obviously backed down, why don't you take the opportunity to refuse his unfair demand to try to make me wait for profit?" ”

Huang Shaozhengse said: "Although it is not the first time for us to deal with the military market, in the name of the Mutual Benefit Association, this is the first time. …… If we can avoid extraneous complications with a five-cent concession, I don't think it's impossible. After all, the top priority is to reach a tacit understanding with the military market as soon as possible, and as for the five cents of profit, it will be long in the future, and we will find an opportunity to get it back in the future......"

Hearing this, the merchants also nodded in agreement.

The next day, with that short-term trade certificate, Huang Shao and others completed the transaction with the military market without any danger and without any trouble.

However, those officials in the military city looked at them with strange eyes, obviously they also heard about the actions of Huang Shao and others yesterday, and saw that Huang Shao and others actually dared to take dangerous moves against Kong Jian, but they also admired the courage of Huang Shao and others.

After the delivery of the goods, Huang Shao and others returned to Wei's firm, waiting to meet Chen Cai and others.

Around dusk that night, Chen Cai and the others secretly returned to Wei's firm.

At that time, Huang Shao invited Chen Cai to the house where he was staying, and told Chen Cai about the process and results of his negotiations with Kong Jian.

Chen Cai said with a smile: "This saves me from waiting for my hands." ”

"Do it?" Huang Shao asked puzzledly, "What kind of hand?" ”

Chen Cai also did not hide it, and said truthfully: "If Huang Gongzi can't solve this matter, I will keep an eye on that Kong Jian day and night, try to lure him away, cut off one of his little fingers as a lesson, and then warn, 'There will be another time, cut off your dog's head'......"

Huang Shao was terrified when he heard this, and said that the black tiger thief in front of him was inevitably too arrogant, you must know that this is in Wancheng, not Kunyang!

As if noticing Huang Shao's astonishment, Chen Cai smiled and said, "Joke, joking." ”

"Heh, heh."

Huang Shao laughed with him, but he didn't believe it was just a joke.

After all, the Black Tiger Thief is a bold bandit he has never seen in his life, who dares to guarantee that this group of lawless bandits will really not dare to commit murder in Wancheng?

Thinking of this, he was secretly glad that he had finally solved the problem and avoided these black tiger thieves from doing it himself.

At this time, Lu Kuang had also learned that Huang Shao had obtained a trade certificate from Kong Jian, and had even completed the transaction with the military market.

If Kong Jian was still thinking about who could bring him more benefits between Lu Kuang and Huang Shao before, then at this time, he was completely on Lu Kuang's side, and he made an idea to Lu Kuang: "It's not that I don't want to make things difficult for him, I think you have also heard that the second son of the Huang family hired some outlaws to spread rumors that were unfavorable to me in the city, if these rumors reached the ears of General Wang, General Wang would inevitably question me, and I was afraid that my position would not be guaranteed at that time." …… But don't worry, this matter will not end here, you bear with it, when General Wang comes back, I will arrange for you to meet General Wang, and then you will personally beg to expose the fact that Huang Shao colluded with the Kunyang Black Tiger Thief, and see what Huang Shao should do. ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Kong Jian was really helping himself come up with ideas this time, and the ideas he gave were not bad, Lu Kuang nodded.

In a blink of an eye, a month and a half passed, and on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Wang Shangde finally returned to Wancheng from the front line.

After returning to Wancheng, Wang Shangde first summoned the deputy general Li Zhen, and then sent someone to order Kong Jian to meet him at his own mansion with the account books of the military market for nearly two months.

Kong Jian did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his entourage to bring the account books and go with him to meet Wang Shangde.

Treating Kong Jian, Wang Shangde has always been unpretentious, and it is the same today, I saw him flipping through the account books without saying a word, Kong Jian only dared to stand aside with his head down, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Coldly, Wang Shangde suddenly asked: "Kong Jian, I saw Li Zhen today, he said that around mid-July, there were suddenly rumors in Wancheng that were not conducive to the military market, what happened?" ”

Kong Jian was slightly startled, turned all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and said cautiously: "Yes...... It was done by Huang Shao, the second son of the Huang family in Ye County, who hired outlaws......"

"Yes." Wang Shangde glanced at Kong Jian and asked lightly, "Then Huang Shao, why do you dare to do this?" ”

At first glance, this seems to be an opportunity to frame Huang Shao?

However, Kong Jian didn't think so, and Wang Shangde's cold gaze at him already showed the unhappiness in General Wang's heart.

Thinking of this, he said with a sneer: "Yes...... It's because ......"

"It's because you threatened him to take him two percent of the profits, right?" Wang Shangde was impatient with Kong Jian's hesitation and took the lead in exposing the matter.

Kong Jian showed an ugly smile on his face: "Humble ...... Humble duty is also for the sake of the military market......"

"Fuck your shit!"

Wang Shangde scolded and said coldly: "Do you think General Ben is the kind of person who is greedy for petty profits? Not to mention that the mere two percent profits are not enough to make up for the damage to the reputation of our military city, even if you add your dog's life, it is far from enough! ”

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life."

Kong Jian fell to his knees with a puff, and said repeatedly: "I didn't expect the second son of the Huang family to be so ......."

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to frame Huang Shao and said: "This kind of trick must have been taught to him by the black tiger thief in Kunyang, and the general may not know that Huang Shao has colluded with the black tiger thief in Kunyang." ”

"What?" Wang Shangde probably really didn't know what was going on, and when he heard this, his face was slightly angry.

Seeing this, Kong Jian hurriedly told him what he knew, and then quietly framed Huang Shaodao: "General, that Huang family brother is despicable and shameless, colluding with the black tiger thief, betraying business friends, and founding a Kunye Mutual Benefit Association with the brotherhood secretly manipulated by the black tiger thief...... I couldn't get used to it, so I intended to help Lu Kuang, but I didn't expect that Huang Shao to dare to make such a move, in order to protect the reputation of our military city, the lowly position could only let the traitor succeed in the end......"

"Can't get used to it? I think you received the benefits of Lu Kuang, right? ”

Wang Shangde said with a sneer, and then frowned and asked, "What is the origin of the black tiger thief?" Kunyang County just stood by and watched? ”

"Uh......"

Kong Jian pretended to hesitate and said, "Specific...... I don't know about my humble position, but Lu Kuang is in the city right now, why don't you ask him to ask him clearly? ”

“……”

Wang Shangde thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Kong Jian was overjoyed and immediately ordered his entourage to go to the city to summon Lu Kuang.

At this time, Lu Kuang was waiting in the city, and after receiving the news sent by Kong Jian, he was very surprised, and immediately changed into clean clothes and came to meet Wang Shangde.

"Lu Kuang pays a visit to General Wang."

When he saw Wang Shangde, Lu Kuang respectfully gave a big salute.

However, Wang Shangde turned a blind eye to this, and even showed little interest in reacting, only to see him glance at Lu Kuang, and then while flipping through the account books of the military market, he asked casually with a cold attitude: "I heard Kong Jian say that the merchants led by the Huang family brothers quit the Freemasonry and founded a Kunye Brotherhood by themselves, and they also colluded with the black tiger thieves in Kunyang, is this serious?" ”

From the side, Kong Jian secretly gave Lu Kuang a look.

Lu Kuang suddenly understood, and immediately said: "It's true! …… Although those led by Huang Fu and Huang Shao kept saying that they would cooperate with the Brotherhood, who in Kunyang didn't know that behind the scenes of the Brotherhood was the group of bandits in the name of the Black Tiger? These black tiger thieves occupy the mountains as kings, control the official roads, and wantonly rob the caravans of our Freemasonry, and every time the caravan under the name of our Freemasonry hits him down the mountain, he is forced to pay a large sum of money......"

Listening to Lu Kuang's crimes against the Black Tiger Thief, Wang Shangde frowned and asked, "Kunyang County is indifferent to this?" ”

"Not really."

Lu Kuang thought for a while and said: "Kunyang County has surrounded and suppressed the black tiger thieves three times before and after, and finally the county lieutenant of my Ye County also participated, although he once defeated this group of bandits, but he failed to eradicate ...... after all."

Wang Shangde asked again: "What about the brotherhood that cooperated with the Huang brothers?" Doesn't it mean that it's in Kunyang County? The Kunyang County Ya is also indifferent to this? ”

Lu Kuang peeked at Wang Shangde and said, "Uh...... Probably because the brotherhood has a good reputation in Kunyang, so the county government has a ...... of rat bogey."

As he spoke, he explained the situation of the Brotherhood in Kunyang to Wang Shangde.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shangde became a little interested after hearing this, and asked with interest: "Oh? And such bandits? ”

"General......

Lu Kuang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Kong Jian said quietly: "General, I think that this evil thief must not be tolerated." …… For our military city, Freemasonry is indispensable, and now the Freemasonry is at the mercy of the black tiger thief, and it is declining day by day, and in the long run, my military market may also suffer losses......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly found that Wang Shangde glanced at him coldly, and he was so shocked that he immediately swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

"Indispensable?"

Glancing at Kong Jian and then at Lu Kuang, Wang Shangde said slowly: "No one is indispensable, even if there is no Freemasonry, isn't there still that Kunye Mutual Benefit Association?" …… Suppressing thieves is a matter for Kunyang County, since the brotherhood has not been designated as a thief by Kunyang County, then the Kunye Mutual Benefit Association is legitimate, and the military city will not take sides. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lu Kuang and sneered: "The Luye Freemasonry has fallen to today's situation, all because you are waiting for yourself!" …… ! ”

Hearing this, Kong Jian frowned slightly, and didn't dare to speak for Lu Kuang anymore.

"General."

Lu Kuang never expected Wang Shangde to stand by and watch, and immediately begged anxiously: "General, now only you can help my Freemasonry, if you stand by and refuse to help, then my Freemasonry will definitely be disheartened, and in the end it can only be defeated by a group of traitors and evil bandits, and it will no longer exist, the general ......"

“……”

Wang Shangde was turning the page when he suddenly paused.

"No more...... What?'

Twisting the corners of the account book, Wang Shangde glanced at Lu Kuang, who was kneeling on the ground.

At a glance, he seemed to see a small figure behind Lu Kuang, smiling and bowing to him.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

Lu Kuang was startled, mistakenly thinking that Wang Shangde was about to order someone to drag him down, and begged again: "General, general......"

However, Wang Shangde ignored him and instructed the soldiers who entered the house: "Send Li Zhen to see me." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers retreated.

What's the situation?

Lu Kuang, who thought that he would be dragged away, was a little dazed, knelt on the ground and was at a loss, and frequently asked Kong Jian with his eyes.

Kong Jian secretly glanced at Wang Shangde, and when he saw Wang Shangde looking at the account books by himself, he thoughtfully shook his head at Lu Kuang slightly, signaling the latter to be calm and wait for the changes.

Not long after, Wang Shangde's deputy Li Zhen came to the house and saw Lu Kuang kneeling on the ground, both a little funny and a little puzzled.

"General."

He hugged his fist towards Wang Shangde.

"Hmm."

Wang Shangde nodded, and immediately raised his head to look at Li Zhen and ordered: "You send a partial general, lead two thousand soldiers to Kunyang immediately, and exterminate a local bandit called Black Tiger!" …… By the way, investigate it for me again, and see if the brotherhood in Kunyang City is related to the Black Tiger Thief, and if so, exterminate them together! ”

Hearing this, Kong Jian and Lu Kuang both showed incredible looks.

Especially Lu Kuang, who was even more excited at this time.

"A group of bandits who encircled and suppressed Kunyang?"

Adjutant General Li Zhen showed a little puzzlement on his face, and said hesitantly: "General, let's not talk about encircling and suppressing bandits, Kunyang seems to be the ...... of Yingchuan County."

As soon as he said this, he noticed that Wang Shangde looked at him unpleasantly.

He immediately swallowed the follow-up words and responded with a fist: "Yes!" The last general is going to give the order! ”

Watching the deputy general Li Zhen stride out of the house, Lu Kuang secretly pinched the back of his hand.

He couldn't believe it.

He actually ......

actually said that he moved the general Wang Shangde in front of him?

Could it be that this General Wang's previous unpretentious remarks about his Lu Kuang were all fake?

In fact, this General Wang has always valued him?

Surprised and angry, Lu Kuang said gratefully: "Thank you general, thank you general!" The general's kindness, Lu Kuang will never forget it in his life, and only the general will be the head of the horse in this life......"

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Wang Shangde glance at him and interrupt him with a cold word: "Get out!" ”

“……”

Lu Kuang opened his mouth and swallowed the follow-up words back into his stomach.

However, since the goal had been achieved, he didn't want to anger the general Wang anymore, so he immediately left with a smile.

From the side, Kong Jian looked at the back of Lu Kuang leaving, and then looked at Wang Shangde, who continued to calm down and look at the account books, with a slightly understanding look on his face.

A few days later, a partial general named Ji Rong led two thousand Nanyang soldiers to Kunyang across the county.

After learning the news, even Zhao Yu was in disbelief.

He actually ...... Misjudgement?

With his understanding of Wang Shangde, the Luye Freemasonry should be just a tool in the eyes of that General Wang, as long as the tools that are replaced are enough to take advantage of, that General Wang will not care whether to replace them at all.

But now, Wang Shangde has sent an army, which is completely beyond Zhao Yu's expectations.

"That general Wang didn't have a lot of weapons, and it is estimated that he was unhappy by spreading rumors......

Zhao Yu secretly scolded himself.

In addition to slander, he can only prepare for the worst at the moment.

On the same day, he returned to the main village of the Black Tiger, on the one hand, he prepared to resist the encirclement and suppression of the 2,000 Nanyang soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered Guo Da to immediately send dozens of brothers selected in advance to the counties of Nanyang County, ready to spread rumors in the counties in the name of the rebels at any time to distract Wang Shangde's attention.
