Chapter 135: Undercurrent
When Wang Bingling came in, Qin Shao was facing a bronze mirror, holding a small pair of tweezers in his hand, carefully plucking a long hair on his brow.
"Hall Master.." Wang Bingling screamed expressionlessly, then stopped squeaking, waited for him to clean up and stop talking, looking at the situation, and waiting for a while, she was already surprised.
Qin Shao didn't raise his head, but just snorted, seeing that Wang Bingling didn't squeak, Orchid pointed to the chair in front of the bookcase, and blamed: "What are you doing standing stupidly, sit down and talk." ”
Wang Bingling stood straight and didn't squeak.
Qin Shao looked at himself left and right in the bronze mirror, frowning, obviously very dissatisfied, raised his eyes to look at Wang Bingling for a while, and suddenly said: "Bingling'er, cold-faced woman, I like your face, white and flawless, a heroic spirit, they all say that you are good at disguise, just according to your appearance, give me one too, can you do it?" ”
Wang Bingling kept rolling her eyes, just your huge Chinese face, unshaven beard, and you still want to transform into a cold-faced woman, in the next life.
Qin Shao probably also thought that it was impossible, so he changed his words and said: "Then Feng Yawen, I have taken a closer look, her face plate is bigger than mine, isn't it also quite likable?" can recruit Yang Bo, now it's no problem, right? ”
Wang Bingling not only rolled her eyes, she almost vomited, Feng Yawen was a half-old, her charm still exists, her temperament is graceful, her elegance is peerless, and her mature femininity is so envious that even Wang Bingling is envious, how can she get it easily?
"Forget it, come to think of it, you don't have that ability.." Qin Shao was very disappointed and said disdainfully: "Then you say, what can I easily become?" ”
"Li Kui." Wang Bingling replied coldly.
"You.." When Qin Shao heard this, he was furious, jumped up from his seat, and the orchid finger came again, "Okay, you Wang Bingling, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, in my opinion, your disguise technique is just a waste of fame.."
After that, he threw down the small tweezers in his hand, glared at Wang Bingling fiercely, walked to the window with extremely fast steps, and opened the window with hatred.
"Did you find out where that person came from?" Qin Shao asked.
The 'person' in Qin Shao's mouth is the person who drank tea with Zuo Wencan and Du Xiuling, who seems to be from the army, and his intuition tells him that this person may have a great background.
A few days ago, he witnessed Du Xiuling and the other three walking out of Shaolou together, Du Xiuling and Zuo Wencan are old acquaintances, only he has not seen this person, so he ordered Wang Bingling to investigate, Wang Bingling came today, must have reported the matter to him.
"The man's surname is Feng, and he came from Huai'an in a carriage the day before yesterday." Wang Bingling breathed a sigh of relief, this lord can be regarded as talking about the topic.
"Coming by carriage?" The man looked like he was from the army, but he didn't expect to come by carriage, Qin Shao asked, "What about the coachman, have you found the coachman?" ”
"No, the coachman sent the man surnamed Feng to Haizhou, and immediately returned to Huai'an empty."
"This surnamed Feng behaves a lot strangely, he is young, he can sit and drink tea with characters like Du Xiuling and Zuo Wencan, the origin must not be simple, we must find out his details."
Qin Shao leaned out of the window and looked, the sun was above his head, and the cold sunlight shone on the Yuntai Pavilion across the street.
Du Xiuling lives in Yuntai Pavilion, and moves around frequently with Master Huiren of Biyun Temple, these two people are not good at stubble, but they are former opponents, how did they get together?
Biyun Temple is the largest temple in Haizhou, the incense is the most prosperous, an incense money does not seem to be much, but there are many people who can't stand the contribution, and the silver can be piled up into a hill over time.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the temple is a pure place for Buddhism, pay attention to a compassion, persuade people to accumulate good deeds, have the function of education, the government also takes care of a lot, and from time to time will give some official land to the temple free of charge, which is quite common in the Ming generation.
Biyun Temple is large in scale, the momentum is extraordinary, the old appearance has been very considerable, Huiren used the land donated by the government, built a lot of buildings, for the merchants and officials to and from Haizhou to rent, and can also earn a lot of rent every year.
Although Hui Ren was a monk, he was quite good at management, and when he had money, he started a loan business, and lent the silver to those who were in a hurry for money, with an annual interest of 20%, which was usury.
The Buddha said, purify all sentient beings.
But this Huiren doesn't cross anyone, and the black-hearted money of the usury is ruthless and makes a lot of money.
Playing in a Buddhist holy place like Biyun Temple, playing in the dark under the lights, is not afraid of retribution?
And the Du family is a big salt merchant with a fortune of tens of millions, and there is no shortage of silver, so the business of usury that comes quickly will naturally not be absent, but the scale of his family's business is much larger.
Both of them have been running underground money houses in Haizhou, fighting openly and secretly for many years, what brought them together?
Obviously, they must have a common adversary.
Who is the opponent?
Who else could it be besides Yang Bo?
Du Xiuling has learned that Sitong Money Village is run by Feng Wanli, but it is Yang Bo who is really at the helm.
Sitong Bank offers five cents of annual interest, and the two of them often have two percent, the interest difference is too great, normal people will go to Sitong Bank to borrow, will their business continue to do at that time?
What if they, like Yang Bo, lowered their annual profit to five cents? Considering the risks, a rough calculation is not profitable at all.
Fortunately, Sitong Money Bank is currently only operating in Shenjiabao, specifically lending money to those merchants who come to Shenjiabao to buy real estate, and Huiren and Du Xiuling have only lost some customers, which has limited impact on their business in Haizhou.
Yang Bo is not an ordinary opponent, this kid has become a god in the streets and alleys, he is not a god, Du Xiuling doesn't care, but Du Xiuling also knows that Yang Bo is really capable, just a match factory, it is said that there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hands every month, and there are factories in Shimiao to lay the foundation, and he Du Xiuling can't afford to look down on Yang Bo.
Now that Yang Bo has sealed thousands of miles and opened a Sitong Money Village, it is even more like a tiger with wings, Rao is Du Xiuling, an old ginger, and he is also frightened in his heart.
Not to mention that the strength is far inferior to the Du family's Biyun Temple, so when the monk Huiren came to the door, the two hit it off, and the two of them have been thinking about how to deal with Yang Bo all these days.
People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries, and maybe that kid will kick his nose in the face one day and cut off their financial route.
Qin Shao had already promised to help Yang Bola's people pull silver, and Biyun Temple and the Du family were both Qin Shao's targets.
Qin Shao has talked to them separately, the purpose is to let them invest money in Shenjiabao, invest in Sitong Qianzhuang, and buy industries, of course, the most ideal is to directly invest silver in the Black Rock Cliff deep-water wharf project, the project is huge, it is a gold-swallowing beast, and Yang Bo alone can't do it.
Du Xiuling promised that if he could make money, he was secondary, but the opportunity to explore Yang Bo's reality could not be missed, the Du family had a big business, even if the cooperation failed, the loss of 180,000 yuan was nothing.
But figuring out Yang Bo's reality and knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and a backhand blow in the future can give you a better chance of winning.
Huiren is different, mentioning Yang Bo, he is not angry, his words are full of resentment, Sitong Qianzhuang pulled away his business, not to mention, but also broke the rules, in Huiren's view, Yang Bo is extremely evil, and now he actually came to the door, talked about cooperation, and asked him to invest money.
Is there such a brazen person in this world?
Qin Shao is in Haizhou, and he is also a figure with hands and eyes, Huiren and Du Xiuling's every move, naturally they can't escape his eyes, they have a very close past, and they can think of it with their butts, they must be thinking about what bad water is, and they are ready to deal with Yang Bo's Sitong Qianzhuang.
Now that there is another person surnamed Feng, it is imperative to find out his origin.
Thinking so, Qin Shao turned around, sat down in front of the bookcase, and said: "You go and clean up, go to Huai'an immediately, there is a clue about the coachman, and you will definitely check the surname Feng." ”
"Yes.." Wang Bingling bowed and was about to retire, but he asked one more question, "Hall Master, Du Xiuling and Zuo Wencan want to be unfavorable to Yang Bo, do you want to inform Yang Bo?" ”
"Yang Bo wants to tie these rich men together with silver and get on the thief ship of his stone temple, this is his so-called binding strategy, the idea is good, but..." Qin Shao sighed first, and as he spoke, he became angry.
"Yang Bo is a dumbfounded man, how dangerous is the business field, how much does he know? He doesn't have a long memory, and besides, he has no evidence in his hand, and now tell him that he may not complain about me, and he will definitely say that I can't get the money, and make excuses. ”
Wang Bingling pursed her lips and looked at Qin Shao with a puzzled look, "Actually, the hall master treats Yang Bo very much, his subordinates can see it, and Yang Bo can naturally do it, why do you pretend to be bitter and hateful?" ”
As soon as Wang Bingling's words came out, Qin Shao suddenly jumped like thunder and roared, "He Yang Bo can't look down on me, can I take a fancy to him?" How can I be attentive to him? That kid is just a lucky guy, and he doesn't know where to get some strange skills, and we people can do great things with him, otherwise, I will treat him to his heart? Hmph.."
"My subordinates haven't heard that Yang Bo looks down on you, hall master, are you thinking too much?"
"You know a fart, you know a fart."
"Hall master, subordinates retire." Wang Bingling secretly laughed, bowed down, and left.
Wang Bingling went back to the house to dress up in disguise, wearing a blue silk robe, a light mustache on his lips, and a small gold-painted fan in his hand, like a personable son.
Brother Gongzi got out of Shaolou, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, although it was cold, but the weather was fine, and it was not a problem to rush to Huai'an before evening.
Wang Bingling rented a new carriage produced by Shimiao, happily boarded the carriage, and said nothing all the way, only two hours, Huai'an Mansion arrived.
The coachman stopped the carriage, but it was raining in the sky at this time, and said casually, "The day is strange, just now in Haizhou, the sky is still sunny, just arrived in Huai'an, it rained, son, can you bring rain gear?" ”
Wang Bingling got out of the carriage, sure enough, it was raining, the rain was not small, she really didn't bring rain gear, this cold day, it's not fun to be drenched in the rain, more importantly, she is a woman dressed as a man, with makeup on her face, when the rain is drenched, isn't it exposed?
Wang Bingling thought of Yang Bo, it must be Yang Bo's guy who is making it bad.
I couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in my heart, standing in the middle of the street, and scolding, "If you don't let it go early, you don't let it go late, it's just a small one.. This son didn't bring rain gear, you have to put it, Yang Bo, you bastard, you are so bad.."
"Childe, are you scolding Yang Bo who can make matches? Xiao Lao'er heard that Yang Bo is not a mortal, does the son know him? I can't scold it. ”
"Get out.."
Wang Bingling gritted her teeth, yelled at the coachman angrily, covered her face with her hands, and ran towards an open-door shop, finding a place to hide from the rain first, the most important thing.
