Chapter 217: The Operation Begins
The next day, all the shops of the Zhong family in Kyoto Castle were closed, causing great inconvenience to their lives.
At this time, everyone realized how important the Zhong family was in Kyoto City.
In the hall of the Zhong Mansion, Zhong Tingzhi took the clan elder to take over the Zhong family in a menacing manner.
Seeing this scene, Zhong You smiled, it seems that these people still don't know anything about the outside world!
"What are you doing here?"
Zhong Tingzhi said triumphantly: "Let's take over the Zhong family's business." Please hand over the ledger and seal. ”
Zhong You pretended to be concerned and said: "If you want me to hand over these things, there is no door, you have the ability to take over the Zhong family firm by yourself." ”
Zhong Tingzhi pointed at Zhong You angrily, "You... Aren't you afraid that I will report to the official to arrest you and say that you are plotting to rob the Zhong family? ”
Zhong You narrowed his eyes, hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Patriarch Zhong forgot to tell you that the great master once said that if the Zhong family has no master, the Zhong family's business house will be under the control of our seven major stewards, I think you also heard this at the time, after all, you were also there, didn't you?" ”
A cold light flashed in Zhong Tingzhi's eyes, when he was at the meeting at the ancestral hall, Zhong Xuanlan said this, he didn't approve in his heart, but he didn't have the right to speak: "If you don't agree today, you have to agree, otherwise, you and your father don't want to leave Zhongfu." ”
Zhong You said mockingly: "That's good, Patriarch Zhong, if you have any tricks, I don't believe you can do anything to me." ”
Zhong Tingzhi looked at Zhong You's appearance and knew that he was soft and hard, so he ordered his subordinates to lead troops to forcibly search the Zhong family.
Zhong You looked at the people searching around, sneering in his heart, and at the same time hoped that the palace could get the news, and he could leave a little leeway.
It's a pity that he didn't wait for the news from the palace to the end of the search, which evoked a smile, I hope you don't regret it!
Zhong Tingzhi got the account book and title deed specially prepared for them by Zhong You, and left arrogantly.
After the people left, Zhong You said in the air: "Act according to the words of the big boss, and the stewards who are willing to leave will be taken away, and those who are unwilling will give a sum of money."
Three days later, we withdrew. ”
"Yes." A figure flew away.
Zhong You was very glad to receive an urgent letter from the big boss last night, and made some adjustments to the previous arrangement, and it was really a big boss who could control the overall situation, but it was a pity that the palace people missed the opportunity.
He was looking forward to what was going to happen next, and he also wanted to go to the big boss, because things should be more exciting on her side.
It's a shame he was able to watch it for himself!
Zhong Xuanlan's side is indeed very exciting, just like her face.
When the winter solstice came in to report the matter, she was cautious, because the big boss of her family got up this morning and had morning sickness reaction, what to eat and vomit, and then, the big boss was very angry, and even the son-in-law was also implicated.
"Big boss, Prince Mobei's business, our people have found out, take a look."
With that, Dong Solstice presented the list to Zhong Xuanlan.
Zhong Xuanlan stretched out his hand and took the list, tsk, if this is a big battle, it is really a good dark pile!
"The shops on the list can be grabbed if they can, and if they can't, they will be burned, and by the way, make the movement bigger, I want to make the palace anxious."
"Yes." The winter solstice commanded. "What should the big boss do with his caravan?"
Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Gushan has always been rampant, you know what to do." ”
Solstice nodded.
Zhong Xuanlan burned the list, watched the fire roll up the paper, leaving black ashes, and asked, "Is there any news from Nanliang?" ”
Dong Solstice said: "There is no news about the business of the Seven Princes of Nanliang in the shadows, but we already have news about where the young master is." ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Where is Zhong Xuanli now?" ”
Dong Zhi frowned slightly, and saw the big boss who said the young master's name with an unhappy face, and was a little puzzled, did the young master get into trouble again or did the big boss blame the young master for coming to her without permission?
Gathering his thoughts, Dong Solstice said: "A small courtyard in Liuxiang, Xicheng, Yuncheng. ”
Zhong Xuanlan knocked on the table and said, "Let him continue to take it." ”
Dong Solstice sighed softly, young master, you ask for more blessings!
At this time, Xia Zhi stood at the door and said, "Big boss." ”
Zhong Xuanlan motioned for Dong Solstice to leave on errands, and then raised his eyes to Xia Solstice and said, "Come in." ”
After Xia Zhi came in to salute, he said: "Big boss, there is a drought in Youzhou. ”
After Zhong Xuanlan heard this, he suddenly looked up at Xia Zhi, "Is this serious?" ”
Xia Zhi said: "Our people have inquired and asked the local old people, and those old people said that this year's weather is not normal, and now it has been a month without a drop of rain, and the water level has begun to fall." ”
Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, the table was knocked by her, and after a while, he said, "Who else knows about this?" ”
Xia Zhi said: "This is what our people found out by accident, but we can't hide it for long." ”
Zhong Xuanlan instructed: "Go and buy grain, no matter the thickness of it, and buy it secretly for me." ”
Xia Zhi had a bad guess in her heart, but she really didn't want to think so much about the big boss.
But the Zhong family didn't involve food before, and today's actions inevitably made her think more.
Zhong Xuanlan saw that Xia Zhi had not received the order for a long time, looked at her, saw her slightly changing expression, squinted his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Xia Zhi, my Zhong family is a merchant, and I, Zhong Xuanlan, am a businessman, don't forget your responsibility." ”
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said after a while: "Please forgive the big boss, my subordinates have overstepped." ”
Zhong Xuanlan waved his hand towards Xia Zhi: "Let's go down and do something!" ”
Xia Zhi was ordered to retire.
Zhong Xuanlan looked at the courtyard scenery outside the window alone through the window, it was already early summer, the trees were verdant, and they were already chirping, and the birds were flocking down on the city wall, and the banyan trees were ...... The chirping and chirping add to the liveliness of the quiet courtyard.
Zhong Xuanlan stroked his stomach, and couldn't help but think of Wang Xuannian, I don't know how he is in the dark pavilion, is he injured?
At that time, Wang Xuannian was resting in the forest, and he had just finished a jungle battle with the members of the Dark Pavilion.
Mo Wen walked to the stream, looked at Wang Xuannian, who was cleaning himself, saw the bleeding sword wound on his back, and asked, "Boy, do you want to give up?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xuannian was shocked, he didn't find anyone approaching.
He turned to look at Mo Wen, who didn't know how long he had been here, and said in a firm tone, "I won't give up." ”
Mo Wen said: "Come up, come with me!" ”
After speaking, Mo Wen turned around and walked forward.
Wang Xuannian quickly flew ashore, and after getting dressed, he immediately followed Mo Wen's footsteps.
Mo Wen said as he walked: "There is a lot of training in the dark pavilion, in general, there are three parts, the intelligence pavilion, inquiring about news, and selling intelligence. The Killer Pavilion, the Assassin, the Guard, the Secret Guard, etc., all come from it. Medicine Pavilion, business, inheritance of Mo's medical skills, etc. ”
Wang Xuannian frowned slightly, I don't know why Mo Wen told him this?
Mo Wen said again: "Subdue the three pavilion masters and take charge of the dark pavilion, and you can go back." ”
"In charge of the Dark Chamber?"
Mo Wen nodded.
Wang Xuannian refused: "This is Lan'er's power, I can't take over." ”
Mo Wen was stunned, then turned to look at Wang Xuannian, and said, "Then aren't you always loyal to her?" ”
Wang Xuannian asked, "Uncle Mo, do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Mo Wen turned around and continued to walk forward: "After you take down the three pavilions, I will tell you about Zhong Xuanlan." ”
As he spoke, Mo Wen saw the cave in front of him and said, "It's here, you go in!" ”
Wang Xuannian looked at Mo Wen and said, "I will definitely win the three pavilions." ”
