Chapter 33: A Difficult Life

In addition to Yixingtang in Wuyi, Li Ze also bought another property and bought a house. And the original owner of this house was the one who was killed by Shi Zhuang in the middle of the night and slaughtered all the old and young people cleanly. More than two years ago, this was not only a big case that caused a sensation in Wuyi, but also alarmed the history of the Yizhou assassination, and for this reason, people were specially sent to assist Wuyi in arresting Shi Zhuang. However, no one thought that Shi Zhuang, who had done such a big case, had not left Wuyi at all, and was living a free life under someone's protection.

As time went by, the officials from Yizhou had already patted their butts and gone home, and this case became an unsolved case, and this house has also become a famous murderous house in Wuyi City, from time to time there will be some bizarre rumors circulating in the county, which has provoked everyone to avoid it, not only no one in the house has been asked, but even several families around have moved away.

Li Ze was overjoyed and picked up a big bargain. Not only did he buy this murderous house, but even the neighbors swallowed it together, and the original owners on both sides had already been on the top as long as they could get rid of it smoothly, and the price was naturally very gratifying.

Li Ze doesn't care about any murderous house, the murderer, so he is in his house, besides, Tu Lichun, Tu Hu, Chen Bing, and Zhen Sheng under his command are not good at killing people, and they just happened to take this house to town, and there are really ghosts and ghosts, so they brought it over and killed it again.

The originally quite large mansion became a large mansion covering an area of nearly 20 acres after the annexation of the neighborhood, the first part of Wuyi City, usually Tu Hu with a caravan of people living here, once Tu Hu took the caravan to transport goods away, there was only a small number of people left to take care of the house.

Li Ze's manpower in Yixingtang is mainly Tu Hu and Sun Lei, Sun Lei is responsible for the operation of business, and Tu Hu is mainly to go outside, establish and improve sales channels, networks, and relationships that must be done smoothly. Of course, while doing these things, Tu Hu also relied on these commercial outlets to establish a base for collecting intelligence according to Li Ze's orders. There is a detailed map in Li Ze's study, which marks the location of each Yixingtang industry in detail, if these industries are connected, you can clearly see where Li Ze's goal is, and he is extending his tentacles all the way to the sea.

Li Ze really wanted to run away, but he didn't want to run away like a lost dog, even if he wanted to go, he had to walk in a dashing manner. In his previous life, he had enough of the hardships of life, and when he became developed, he vowed to make the rest of his life comfortable, this life, in Li Ze's opinion, is still a continuation of the previous life.

You can't treat yourself badly. Even if you run to sea in the future, you must be able to enjoy the best of the world.

Yixingtang is a business name under the rule of the Chengde Jiedu Envoy, but the focus of the business has always been under the rule of the Henghai Jiedu Envoy, and there has been no effort at all in the dozens of counties in the four states under the Chengde Jiedu Envoy.

Tu Lichun and Tu Hu also agree with Li Ze's approach very much, if Yixingtang develops in Chengde, it is very easy to conflict with those big merchants in Chengde, and behind these big merchants, there are all real power figures in Chengde who are backing, Li Ze's background strength is naturally not afraid of anyone except his Lao Tzu and eldest brother, but he can't let people know about this relationship. Because once this is the case, his affairs will inevitably be found out, and the matter of Yixingtang is fine, once people know about the secret camp, it will be amazing.

But pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud really makes people feel outside the threshold, and then wants to keep people out, it will be time-consuming and laborious and may not have a good effect.

Therefore, Yixingtang has always been full of efforts to operate under the rule of the Henghai Naval Jiedu Envoy, and in the local area, everyone knows that Yixingtang has dozens of shops in the city, and as for the whole Chengde, Yixingtang has no sense of existence. And this is precisely in Li Ze's interests.

Don't be loud, work quietly, and when the time comes, immediately smear the soles of your feet with oil and slip away.

When Li Ze arrived, in the courtyard behind the gate, the servants and stewards were divided into men and women, and they were already standing neatly to welcome Li Ze's arrival.

Li Ze rarely came here, and for more than two years, he only came once after the renovation of this house, and then completely lost this place to Tu Hu.

Tu Hu is the same as his brother Tu Liqiu, both of whom were born in the army, but compared to Tu Liqiu, his brain is more active and smart, but he is not so impatient when he takes care of the family house, and he runs outside for eight or nine months a year, so he directly adopts military law management, which is simple, disciplined, and easy to quantify.

The servants are all strong and strong, that is, the servants at the head of the family, all of them are also big shoulders and round waists, and they are good hands with a lot of strength at a glance, which fully reflects the characteristics of the two brothers Tu Hu, in their eyes, such people have a working appearance.

The main courtyard has already been cleaned up, just waiting for Li Ze to become the master, and Tu Lichun will naturally take care of the affairs outside, and the affairs in the house, Xia He is also experienced in arranging a few servants to clean up the things they brought in a blink of an eye.

The house that was regulated two years ago, the trees and flowers that were planted at the beginning have finally taken shape, and it can be regarded as having an appearance that can be seen. After inspecting it, Li Ze returned to the room satisfied, Xia He calculated the time, and the temperature of a cup of brewed tea was just right for the entrance.

After drinking tea and changing into casual clothes, Tu Lichun had already arranged the things outside and came in to see Li Ze.

"Don't drive that Yizhou, are you familiar with it?" Li Ze motioned to Xia He to pour a cup of tea for Tu Lichun, and after Tu Lichun sat down, he asked.

"Childe, Yizhou don't call Wang Wenshu, he is the brother-in-law of Cao Xin, the assassin of Yizhou, and he has won Cao Xin's trust and value, even in front of the Jiedu envoy, he has face." Tu Lichun said. "Wang Wenshu has two sons, the eldest son Wang Mingren, who works under the eldest prince, and the second son, Wang Mingyi, is not an official, but is doing business."

Li Ze frowned: "I knew that when I reached the level of don't drive, I would definitely have something to do with Li Che." I'm afraid that Wang Mingyi's business is not simple, there must be Cao Xin's members in it, right? ”

"That's natural. Wang Mingyi is in the business community of Yizhou, that is the number one person, almost a word, it is this level of relationship, our Yixingtang has not been developing in Yizhou, and there is naturally not much intersection with them before, but now Wang Mingyi's eyes have glanced over, we are indeed in some trouble. ”

"So I invited Mr. Gongsun to come and see if I could fool the past." Li Ze rubbed his temples with some annoyance, in this era, if you want to do business, you can't do without the relationship between the official, the bigger the business, the deeper the intersection with the official, and the two people he wants to hide are the two most powerful people on the ground.

"This matter is related to Wang Mingyi, but I am afraid that it will eventually reach the ears of the eldest prince, so we still have to prepare early." Tu Lichun was also worried.

Li Ze nodded: "The matter over there in the secret camp must be hidden tightly, as long as this matter is not exposed, just doing business is such a thing, or it is still within Li Che's tolerance, he is already rich and rich, I just need to be rich, if he really can't tolerate me, then I have to fight again." ”

After thinking about it, he said dejectedly: "But it doesn't seem to have any effect!" In terms of name, he can't compare to him, he can't compare to his strength, even if he fights with brute force, it is estimated that he can abuse me completely, this life is really difficult! ”
