Compared with Lou Shuwan, the people from the rest of the forces in Qingmu Village learned about Ning Yi's information a little earlier. The earliest was He Shuyuan, who had a background in the Qi family, and on the afternoon of the second day after meeting the Blood Bodhisattva, someone secretly invited him to the courtyard above the mountainside to talk.

This inconspicuous small courtyard above the mountainside, he had also been here twice before to visit Liang Bingfu, and he knew in his heart that compared to the lobby of Qingmu Village, this courtyard could be regarded as the real core of power in Qingmu Village. The other party was able to call him over, and it was likely that he had made a decision to secretly finalize the deal with him.

He Shuyuan is not surprised by this result, among the various forces that came over this time, the Qi family is the most profound. As long as it can be combined with the forces of the Qi family, the role that Luliang can play in this place is also the most profitable. Running this trip, he He Shuyuan can be regarded as giving face to Qingmu Village.

Once Qingmuzhai cooperated with the Qi family, he was recruited and entered the military system. Although it is said that it does not interfere in the affairs of Aoki Village, at the practical level, when you join the army, you always have to do things and always be supervised, and you can insert people here. Under the impact of various interests such as money and power, these village owners and leaders in Luliangshan will also become a part of the interests of the Qi family. After seeing the stitches, it is really difficult to say who will decide in a few years in Aoki Village.

Thinking so in his heart, after entering the room in the courtyard, what he saw was a young man who was writing at the desk, the other party looked focused and indifferent, and the pen in his hand did not stop, but he raised the fingers of his left hand without raising his head.

"Wait a minute, right away. He Yuanwai. Have a seat. ”

He Shuyuan, who was originally full of joy, frowned, stood at the door, put his hands behind his back, and stared at the young man. He was thinking about what the people in Aoki Village were selling, and his expression was already a little stern and angry.

The other party ignored him, and continued to write on the paper, until he finished writing, picked it up and looked at it, and then folded it up and put it in his sleeve. Set aside the brush. Then he looked into the eyes of the middle-aged man at the door. He stood up and picked up the teacup on the table.

"He Shuyuan and He Yuan, get to know him, in Xia Ningyi. Ning Liheng. Have you heard of the Secret Investigation Division? The young man took a sip of tea. Walked out from behind the desk. There was a slight smile on his face, but there was also a coldness, "If the people of the Qi family have told you." From last year to this year, we've had a fight. During the food disaster, he also made a lot of money, right? ”

At the moment when he heard the words "Secret Investigation Division", He Shuyuan's heart sank, and he had the feeling that criminals in later generations were doing bad things and suddenly met the FBI. Of course, his feelings were not so specific, but immediately, he also realized the meaning of the name Ning Liheng, and he didn't know why this person appeared in Luliang right now.

Ning Liheng...... You are the one in charge of food distribution and disaster relief in the Prime Minister's Mansion......"

From last year to this year, in order to quell the danger of the grain disaster, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion almost started a war with the northern half of the Wu Dynasty, and the person responsible for mobilizing grain to suppress the price of grain in the north and south was the young man in front of him, which was also consistent with some of the information that the Qi family had said. The person named Ning Liheng in the Prime Minister's Mansion can do this kind of thing, even if he can't be said to be a national soldier, at least he is a poisonous man who can't be provoked by the prime minister's side. Even if He Yuanwai can rely on the relationship of the Qi family to command a place, in front of this kind of person who represents the authority of the prime minister, it is not enough. He spoke with difficulty, but the other party had already come over.

"Well, exactly down there. In a place like Luliang, there are people on the rivers and lakes who send bandits to be slaughtered with bloody hands, and there are also people who call them demons, all of which are false. Zai Xia, like He Yuanwai, is a trader. Trading, even if there was some friction before, it was just money, and between us personally, it didn't hurt our feelings. Do you say yes? ”

The other party had a smile on his face, He Shuyuan was not a person who had never seen the world after all, he knew that things must have changed now, but he still regained his composure: "That's right." It's just that He doesn't know why Mr. Ning is here now. ”

"Actually, it's very simple, and it's similar to He Yuanwai's thoughts." Ning Yi patted his arm with a smile and took the lead in walking out the door, "Let's go out for a walk and talk as we go." ”

The atmosphere of the current conversation was taken away by Ning Yi from the beginning. It's just that He Shuyuan has no choice, the other party is not only the core staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also has a relationship with those vicious Green Forest people, and the name of the demon makes a gang of gangsters cry wolf, if the words are not speculative, let alone use the Prime Minister's Mansion to suppress people, the other party is afraid that he will beat himself to death here. He followed all the way out, and when he reached the outside of the door, where he could overlook the valley of Aokizhai, he stopped.

"What a member." The young man tilted his head, "You look at Aoki Village, it's not bad." Two years ago, it wasn't like this, do you think it's really because the owner of the village here suddenly became a genius and made this place bigger all of a sudden? Also started border trade? ”

He Shuyuan looked at the scene below and hesitated for a moment: "You mean, your Prime Minister has already intervened?" ”

"There is no such thing, the Prime Minister does not recognize this, and we will never cooperate with the bandits." Ning Yi smiled, "Today's incident came out of my mouth and into your ears, and it has never happened to the outside world." You also know that the Prime Minister's family has a big business, and like you, everything you do also requires money. We have some business, such as helping people plan business, who needs what, we know where it is, helping people to pull the line, sometimes how much money is earned, how much money is spent, rough people don't know how to manage accounts, we will help to do an account, and then try to give a good income and expenditure. It's all a win-win small business, everyone makes money is really profitable, everyone is really good, you say yes? ”

Ning Yi said as he walked forward, and He Shuyuan followed beside him with a tangled expression.

"In business, the most important thing is not what to sell or buy, but to make friends. Just like the food disaster from last year to this year, we also know a lot of friends, and as long as we have friends, the relationship can be connected. What is needed, what is produced, what is sold, how to sell, there are people in every link, and then everyone can make money, and things can get bigger and bigger. During this period, even if there is a little friction with people. Like I said, it's all about money, and people can still get to know each other, which is a good thing. If we hadn't met, you wouldn't have been able to talk so well with him and you now. He Yuanwai, you are a senior in business, you say, am I reasonable? ”

He Shuyuan: "Haha...... ...... to the

Ning Yi continued: "As I said, the Secret Investigation Division is just going around and giving advice. Lu Liang is this piece. A long time ago, it was a piece of heart disease on the border. We've always wanted to solve the problem of it, and then we have the current pattern. However, it can't be a single family, and in the past, it just opened the door to do business. Just collect some odd changes. It's much more affordable than anywhere else. And Aoki Village is here. I have long admired Wanghua, and I will be my own person in the future. He can rest assured that he will open the door to do business. It will not change at any time, but we have preferential treatment for those who make a big deal outside of him. This is a recent survey done by Ning, these things are the most profitable, and we will collect less than usual, so why don't you take a look. ”

As he spoke, he put the piece of paper he had written earlier into He Shuyuan's hand. He Shuyuan took the paper, but he didn't open it, but just looked at Ning Yi: "In this way, it is also Qin Xiangye's opinion?" ”

"It's not a specific opinion, it's just that the border has always been a big problem, how to grasp the regulation, there are its laws, we can't do everything we can to catch fish, we can't just see a year or two. These things are the considerations of the people above, and I am not very clear about the considerations of Li Xiangqin and their considerations. ”

Ning Yi said as he smiled brightly. But the implication at the moment is this: this is the result of our consideration, not something that you can know at your level. He Shuyuan frowned, he didn't know how much effort the Secret Investigation Division had put into here, but he understood that in front of this person, it was useless to roll around, and after thinking about it, he said, "What about the army?" Vice President Xiao came over to them, can you explain the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion's tiger mouth? ”

Border trade accounted for a significant part of the Wu Dynasty's tax revenue, but it was also involved in a variety of ways, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was certainly not clean here. However, this kind of division of interests is like a political struggle, there is friction between each other, but it will not tear the face, once the distribution of interests is determined, everyone will also abide by the tacit understanding. If the Prime Minister opens a smuggling outlet here, the matter can be big or small, but of course, there are so many interests at the border, everyone grabs it at every turn, and it can be regarded as a skill to open an opening in a place like Luliang that could not make profits in the past, as long as it does not affect too much, and does not eat alone, there is still a way to deal with it.

Ning Yi also shook his head: "We naturally have arrangements for these things. As I said, the Prime Minister did not intervene in the matter of Aoki Village, at most, we lobbied here and proposed a proposal. If you want to say that the prime minister is interested, it is actually the carboniferous mine in Luliang Mountain. I don't know if He Yuanwai has heard of it, but there are several open-pit carboniferous mines here, which are very easy to mine. We did some business in the capital, called ...... Lotus coal, this thing is needed. Therefore, we also hope that Lu Liang can be stable for a long time. ”

He Shuyuan said: "I heard about that stove. However, the price of charcoal is cheap, isn't it too troublesome to transport it from here? ”

"The business needs to be bigger, there is coal here, we can develop the coal stove business to the north, and the stove is still very good."

He Shuyuan nodded, and said with a smile after a while: "If you want to do this business, He Mou is very willing to participate in individual stocks, so that you can enjoy the things that people in the capital like." ”

"Haha, He Yuanwai's words are serious, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and I want to do business in the north, when the time comes, I will be the first to find He Yuanwai, I will give out the technology, you will do it, how about it." As for the matter of Luliang Mountain......"

What kind of coal business, lotus root coal business, for the He family is just a small business, just like this, narrowing the distance, He Shuyuan interrupted Ning Yi with a smile: "The matter of Lu Liangshan, I understand what Brother Ning means, but there is still the Qi family behind my brother, I can't say what they think." But no matter what, just like Brother Ning said, it's just a sale, and it doesn't hurt the peace, how about it? ”

Ning Yi reached over and patted his hand holding the paper: "Well, everyone does things, friction is inevitable, follow the rules, don't hurt the peace." ”

The two laughed, and Ning Yi sent He Shuyuan to the mountain pass and waved goodbye. It's just that after turning around, the smiles of the two of them instantly converged, Ning Yi frowned and walked back boredly, He Shuyuan gritted his teeth for a while, and he was indignant that the Secret Investigation Division had long intervened in this, but this kind of thing is indeed said to come first and come first. Everyone secretly manages their own interests, if it is true that the Secret Investigation Division began to control Lu Liang two years ago. If others want to intervene, it is really a tiger's mouth, even if he is angry, what can he do.

Also in the afternoon of that day, Ning Yi met Xiao Cheng, the deputy general of the Wusheng Army, as a person in the army, this deputy general was the easiest to settle, after bringing out the background of Qin Siyuan, Qin Shaoqian, and the Secret Investigation Division, he promised a large sum of money, and the other party immediately became Ning Yi's iron brother. If you take care of Lu Liang for Wu Shengjun, it will be done. And how much can he earn? Only money into their own pockets. That's the real money......

Just like Ning Yi said, people who do business will not tear their faces casually, even if they can tear their faces with Aoki Village. There is nothing willing to tear his face with the Secret Investigation Division and Qin Siyuan. However, under such rules. Take a fluke. Making small gestures, or waiting for things to change and worsen, is still an option. After Ning Yi probably greeted these people, the grass on the hill near Qingmu Village. They also began to gather in this direction, first spies and spies, and then some people sent large and small leaders to prepare to pay a visit to the Blood Bodhisattva.

At the beginning, Lou Shuwan told the people around her bitterly, and once someone on the surrounding hills believed it, they couldn't help but start to discuss and connect in private. Regarding the possible recruitment of Aoki Village, everyone felt a huge crisis. In this way, the Aoki Village outlet, which was already overcrowded, has become more crowded and chaotic these days. And inside Aoki Village, the people who became a little panicked at the beginning because of the appearance of so many outsiders have calmed down these days, and silently began to shrink the defense line and consolidate the village.

In the past two years, Aoki Village has developed its business and absorbed most of the foreign population, and now it even seems a little chaotic in this expansion process. Once the fight starts, the business and the village will definitely be affected, and on the other hand, this time it seems that the vast majority of the forces in Luliangshan except for the Qingmu Village are unexpected, and the momentum is amazing. Anyone who thinks that Aoki Village will not want to fight this battle. And if Aoki Village is unwilling to see war, the current phenomenon of consolidating the defense line can only be said to be the most passive defense.

The whole situation began to tighten in such an atmosphere, and on the night of three days later, the blood bodhisattva of the village owner set up a banquet to entertain these distinguished guests who went up the mountain, and everyone went to participate. When she arrived at the banquet in the main hall, Lou Shuwan pressed her mood as if she was trembling, waiting for a certain guest figure to appear, but until the flowing banquet began, Ning Yi and the others did not appear among the guests. Halfway through the banquet, she almost stood up directly to test the Blood Bodhisattva and asked her where the demon who went up the mountain this time was, and at this moment, Qiu Guyan came in from outside the hall and whispered some news behind her ear.

“…… I heard some rumors from the mountain people, and I don't know if it's true for the time being, the Blood Bodhisattva didn't compete to recruit relatives, but ...... She already has a sweetheart, and I heard that she already knows it internally, that person is Ning Liheng, and he entered the mountain to marry the Blood Bodhisattva...... So in this business, he is not a guest, he is the main family......"

Not far away, at the position of the owner of the village, a woman nicknamed the Blood Bodhisattva was talking to the guests with a smile and a distance. Lou Shuwan pinched the wine glass, there was a "buzz" sound in her head, the light left for a moment, and then she trembled and returned to her eyes, she found that her hands were trembling slightly, and the picture in her eyes was also shaking.

“…… Even if he is the master of the house. She noticed that her voice was hoarse, so she repeated, "Even if he is the master...... The people outside the mountain are going to surround him, why didn't he move, is he waiting for death, he knows if he is going to die when the fight starts......"

"This ...... It's clear......"

"When the fight starts, a lot of people will die...... Does he know...... What was he thinking......"

That night, she didn't know how she got out of the hall, walking on the mountain road, the night breeze was cold, the distant mountains were lonely, and the lights in the courtyard in the distance seemed to laugh at her. She returned to her courtyard and room, sat for a long time, put on a cloak and went out, and walked to the door of the courtyard where Zhu Biao and others lived, and was about to go inside, but someone stopped him. Qiu Guyan, who was in charge of protecting her, also came over to block the man.

"I want to see Ning Yi!"

She said. However, after experiencing the incident of Xiao Xiangma, everyone knew that the Tian Hu force she represented was an enemy, and the blocker did not intend to give him a good look.

"Girl, none of us want to see you."

"I want to see Ning Yi!" She yelled out, "I know him!" I know he saw me too! Let him come out to me—"

In the courtyard of Shawanshi in the rear, Dong Pang'er's subordinates were alarmed and came to see the excitement. The blocker was also taken aback, the woman sounded familiar with the boss...... I didn't know what to do for a while, but in the back room, Zhu Biao had already run out: "Ah, ...... you"

"Tell Ning Yi to come out and see me! Let's just say that the enemies of the Lou family came to him-"

"Uh, you wait." Zhu Biao thought for a moment, and then disappeared into the back of the courtyard.

Lou Shuwan wore a cloak, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and closed her eyes. After a long time, Zhu Biao came down from the mountain and said to her, "He can see you tomorrow morning." ”

Lou Shuwan closed her eyes and took a breath, then turned to leave.

The next morning, she met Ning Yi. (To be continued......)
