Chapter 26: The Traitor

…… Look at ++/div
After coming out of Master Wei Zhigao's pleasure boat, Duan Zhong did not choose to go back. /top/ …… Look++. Because at this moment, Duan Chong has a lot of things to think about in his mind, and these things are still very troublesome. The night view of the West Lake in Hangzhou is also good, but it is too late, and it will always make people feel that there are some deserted sections of the heavy nose to sit down by the West Lake, although it is early summer, but the evening breeze blowing in the middle of the night is still with a hint of chill
However, while Duan Chong was pondering, Jiang Mingchen's figure appeared beside Duan Chong, and said in a low voice: "Little master, I just got the news that our shop in Jiangnan was seized by officers and soldiers overnight" Duan Chong was stunned when he heard this: "Sealed? What's going on? Who would dare to do that?" Duan Chong's business in Jiangnan is all taken care of by Ji Wuchang, and a large part of it is to take over the Shen family's business, Duan Chong is not an honest person, and neither is Ji Wuchang, so there are naturally some disgraceful things in the business that he took over, if it is found out by the government, it will definitely be seized, but this Chen is the only governor here, who dares to touch Duan Chong's brows?
Jiang Mingchen sighed and said: "It is said that the governor of Jiangnan, Lord Chen Weiwei, personally led troops to seize the treasurer, and arrested more than ten shopkeepers, saying that he would be arraigned in person" Duan Chong frowned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that this Chen Weiwei seemed to have really rebelled, but Duan Chong didn't know, what was the reason why Chen Weiwei rebelled without hesitation, and he rebelled so completely, he didn't leave any affection, what kind of charm did this Wei Zhigao Wei have, it was enough to make Chen Weiwei so defective? But fortunately, although the only governor of Chen knew that he had a base in Nanliang, he didn't know where the base was, otherwise, the valley of the "Snowy Night Phoenix" would probably also be besieged Duan Chong, although he has some strength now, Duan Chong also understands a truth: no matter how thick his arms are, he can't twist his thighs, and now Duan Chong's forces are obviously like arms and thighs compared with officers and soldiers
There is no doubt that the reason why Lord Chen did this was under the instruction of Master Wei Zhigao The reason why Wei Zhigao did this is obviously the use of the policy of carrots and sticks, as long as Duan Zhong chooses to cooperate with Master Wei Zhigao, then these businesses will naturally return to Duan Chong's hands, but if Duan Chong refuses, then Master Wei Zhigao will definitely give Duan Chong a heavy blow, this is undoubtedly a thing, because Duan Chong himself does not believe that Master Wei Zhigao can use his mouth to persuade the two to cooperate, So these two preparations are to be made, and it is also necessary to carrot and stick Chen is the only adult for Duan Chong, who was originally an extremely important figure, because this is Duan Chong's chess piece in the Southern Liang Dynasty, and it is also the soul of the "Snow Night Phoenix" political organ, but at this moment, he has rebelled, which undoubtedly brought a very significant blow to Duan Zhong and the "Snow Night Phoenix", but now Duan Chong needs to consider how to clean up the mess in front of him, and other things must be left behind
Duan took a heavy breath, but listened to Jiang Mingchen continue: "Because the incident happened suddenly, and Lord Chen was his own person, so the 'poison dagger' did not react. {}…… Reside. But this matter is a big matter, there are more than ten shops that have been seized, and there will be a loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver in a day, and now Zongzi has gone back to investigate the specific situation, as for the specific arrangement, you have to wait for the little master to order"
Duan Chong was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, and finally showed a smile, stood up, patted Jiang Mingchen's shoulder, and said: "You guys did a good job in this matter, this thing did happen a little suddenly, but since it happened, let's deal with it," he patted it, "Let's go, go and sit on the governor's mansion."
Jiang Mingchen nodded when he heard this, and silently followed behind Duan Chong to tell the truth, this Hangzhou City is not big, coupled with the ghost-like walking speed of the two of them, it didn't take long for them to come to the outside of the Governor's Palace, which was brightly lit, and it was completely different from the darkness around, and there were dozens of officers and soldiers at the gate of the Governor's Palace, and he took a heavy breath: It seems that this Governor's Mansion is really a sleepless night tonight
Duan Chong didn't say anything, and walked directly to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, at this moment, Duan Chong didn't need to hide his identity Looking at Duan Chong walking over, there were already officers and soldiers blocking the door sideways, seeing Duan Chong's dress, the original fierce and vicious appearance was immediately retracted, turned into a smiling face and said, "Is it Prince Duan?" Seeing that Duan Zhong nodded, he hurriedly continued: "Your Excellency has orders, if Your Highness is down, you can go in directly, and your Excellency is waiting in the hall" Saying that, he made way and let Duan Chong enter the room Duan Chong touched his nose and shook his head helplessly: It seems that this Lord Chen has long known that I will come to him tonight, so he didn't think much about it, and walked directly into the Governor's Palace
This large courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, Duan Chong has been here many times, and he is naturally very familiar, but this time he came in, but there was a feeling that something was wrong Duan Chong walked straight to the hall, there were several officers and soldiers standing in this hall, and the only Lord Chen Wei, the governor of Jiangnan, was sitting at the head of the hall and drinking tea unhurriedly when he saw Duan Chong walking in, but he got up in a hurry, stood and looked at Duan Chong, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word and was stunned for a long time, but he waved his hand and motioned to the officers and soldiers next to him to step back, Suddenly, only Duan Zhong and Chen were the only two Governor in the hall, and as for Jiang Mingchen, he didn't come in at all outside the Governor's Mansion
After Duan Zhong saw that the officers and soldiers had retreated, he walked straight to the top of the seat, looked at the only governor Chen who was a little out of shape, waved his hand, but said like a master: "Sit and say, so as not to hurt the harmony" Duan Chong said this extremely kindly, but if anyone listens to it, he will feel very uncomfortable, just like the prelude to the rain, he said quietly, glanced at Lord Chen Wei, and smiled: "I originally thought, You will be very calm, but it's a pity that it's not what I imagined, and since you have done some things, don't worry about the front and back," he said, picking up the slightly cold tea that had already been placed on the table and taking a sip. {}…… Reside.
This Chen is indeed very uncalm, his hands are cramped and uneasy on his laps and squeezed tightly, as if he wanted to say something, after listening to Duan Chong's words, he sat down, and never opened his mouth After Duan Zhong took a sip of tea, he smiled slightly: "After doing so many things, don't you need to say something?" Senior Brother" Duan Zhong bit the word "Senior Brother" very hard, and after finishing speaking, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Master Chen Wei
Master Chen's face turned blue for a while, and finally spit out two words: "Senior Brother" However, before he could continue, Duan Zhong had already interrupted and said: "Since you still recognize me as a junior brother, I only need an explanation, if I don't want to listen to anything else, I don't have time to listen, you know, my time is very precious."
Lord Chen took a breath, and finally shook his head: "Okay, what should come is always coming" As he spoke, he stood up and paced in the hall, and after walking around, he finally spoke: "As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, the reason why I helped Master Wei Zhigao is because what he can give me is far beyond your reach" He paused and said, "Although I am nominally the governor of Jiangnan, this Lord Liao Zhangjin's participation in Jiangnan is still making waves, After a year, I still haven't taken back a lot of rights, and as long as this Master Wei Zhigao is here, I will never be able to hold the power of silver in Jiangnan, I can only watch Wei Zhigao and a merchant in Jiangnan collect taxes and silver pugs, which is not what I want."
Duan Chong smiled slightly when he heard this, and a look of understanding appeared on his face: "I know that your ambition has always been not small, but at the moment, I still underestimate you a little" said and sighed, "This Wei Zhigao, what kind of benefits did you give you, so that you can have no mercy for me?"
Lord Chen took a breath: "Help me clear the remnants of Liao Zhangjin's forces, and completely return the power to control the taxes and silver in Jiangnan to me."
Duan Chong frowned, this is indeed a big piece of tax silver, if Chen Wei completely holds it in his hands, he can get at least millions of taels more every year, and this extra silver, Chen Wei can hand over part of it to the treasury as a political achievement, and the other part can be stuffed into his own pocket, this oil and water can be said to be extremely huge, but these are not what Duan Chong can't give, and what Duan Chong needs is just time, so Duan Chong sighed: "Why don't you believe that this Wei Zhigao can promise you, Give me two years, and I can give it to you?"
When Chen Weiyan heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Senior brother, I naturally know your talents and abilities, but there are some things that cannot be succeeded if you have these."
Duan Zhong shook his head and said, "Don't you believe that I can bring down Wei Zhigao?"
Chen Weiwei sighed and shook his head: "Originally, I would have believed in you, but now, I can't convince myself that this Wei Zhigao has deep roots in the Jiangnan shopping mall, which is definitely not what you can imagine, so junior brother, cooperating with Wei Zhigao is the best choice, don't think about any other thoughts."
Duan took a heavy breath: "Why?"
"There are some things I can't say, but you have to understand that I don't mean to hurt you by saying this"
Duan Zhong touched his nose, and finally sighed: "What do you say about the more than ten shopkeepers who caught me?"
Chen Weiwei said: "I'm afraid that if you don't come to see me and you leave, I will release people, and as for this shop, it will be open as usual."
Duan nodded his head: "Okay, I'm leaving"
