It stands to reason that the Yang family should have solved this inconspicuous Zhou family a long time ago, but the Zhou family is too good at finding opportunities, always walking on the cusp of the waves, soaring, the original small family is about to become a wealthy family in the Ming officialdom in a blink of an eye, and more importantly, Zhou Qingli is now the most important person to deal with the 'Wei Zhongxian Reverse Case'!

The relationship between the Yang family and the Wei Mansion is unpredictable, Huang Liji, Li Guopu categorically dare not easily excuse the Yang family, the Yang family is already meat on the chopping block!

Yang Hu thought about it in his heart and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Gongzi, you really embarrassed me, I want to go back and discuss with them." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yang is slowly discussing, I'm not in a hurry." By the way, I heard that Jinyiwei has arrived in Yingtianfu and arrested the Shangshu King of the Nanzhili Military Department in Jin, how far is it from Yangzhou? ”

Listening to Zhou Zheng's undisguised threat, Yang Huyi sighed and said, "Since Zhou Gongzi said so, I can only respond, I don't know what Zhou Gongzi else wants?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "I will ask Ma Shiying to make adjustments, leaving a total of twelve salt merchants, and those who are disobedient will be wiped out directly this time." ”

Yang Hu frowned and said, "What does Gongzi Zhou want to do?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "I want to open a salt store. ”

Yang Huyi immediately understood, and said, "Zhou Gongzi wants to be the first salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"So to speak." Zhou Zhengdao.

Yang Hu stopped talking, he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip slowly.

Zhou Zheng wants to be the first salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty, then their share of salt will be greatly reduced, which will threaten their roots.

Yang Hu didn't speak, but Zhou Zheng opened his mouth and said: "This year, each of you will invest one million to buy my Zhouji's goods, and in the future, 500,000 yuan per year, and pay it off in a lump sum in March every year, and this year, you must pay it off before March." ”

Yang Hu looked at Zhou Zheng, his expression was no longer the previous coyness, put down the teacup, and said, "Zhou Gongzi, you are too ruthless, right?" As a result, the vitality of our sixteen families will be greatly damaged, and we may be in a state of collapse......"

"Do you have a choice?" Zhou Zheng interrupted him, his tone cold and resolute.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was behaving more and more aggressively, and he was not allowed to refuse, Yang Hu's face suddenly appeared embarrassed again, and said, "Did Zhou Gongzi misunderstand something?" I came to talk about business with Zhou Gongzi, why did it become like this? ”

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he looked at Yang Huyi seriously, this person, what other hole cards does he have?

Yang Hu touched his head, smiled with emotion and embarrassment, and said: "I am not satisfied with Zhou Gongzi, Yuan Fu, and Li Ge are all familiar with each other, and I am also very familiar with Jinyiwei, of course, I am still ......in business."

Zhou Zheng stood up straight and said, "It seems that Shopkeeper Yang has no sincerity to talk, so let's talk about it next time." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Zheng was about to leave. He felt that he had to give the Yang family some more means.

Wei Xizhuang naturally stood up and followed.

Yang Hu looked at Zhou Zheng's movements until he was about to step out of the threshold, and suddenly said: "Zhou Gongzi, don't worry, I just said, the sky is asking for a price, and the money is paid back on the ground, aren't we talking about business?" ”

Zhou Zheng stood in front of the threshold and said, "Last time, Yang Huzhi played tricks with me, this time, if I step out of this threshold, the price will not be what I just said." ”

Yang Huzhi sighed again, and just as he was about to speak, a family member hurriedly ran over and whispered in his ear: "Master, there is a letter from Jinzhong, saying that more than a dozen merchants have been raided, including the Fan family. ”

Yang Huyi's gaze changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng stood at the door, smiling silently, like an innocent person.

—two hours ago.

Shanxi, Zhangjiakou.

The Fan family was surrounded by the local government's government officials, and there was a Jinyi lieutenant in command.

Fan Yongdou's expression was calm and calm, and he raised his hand to the thousand households and said, "This thousand households, I don't know what happened to my Fan family?" ”

This thousand households were calmer than him, and said: "Your Fan family is involved in Wei Zhongxian's rebellion, and the time of death is just around the corner, so you dare to ask me something?" ”

Fan Yongdou's face changed slightly, their Fan family's business was all over the world, and they naturally knew about Wei Zhongxian, so they hurriedly said: "Qianhu has misunderstood, I, Fan Jiake, abide by the law and never exceed the slightest, and please ask Lord Qianhu to be clear, if you don't believe it, you can ask Su Zhengxing, the political envoy of Shanxi." ”

Seeing that he moved out of Su Zhengxing, the smile on his face was gone, he took two steps forward, missed his head, and whispered in Fan Yongdou's ear: "Your Fan family is known to the world when they go to the west exit, no matter whether there is a reverse case of Wei Zhongxian or not, you all have to die!" You let me take it away now, I'm so good, if you play tricks, I guarantee that you will die an extremely ugly death! ”

Fan Yongdou's body trembled, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to compose.

The so-called 'going to the west', also known as 'going to the tiger's mouth', is to pass through some passes in the border towns of Jiuguan, break through the blockade of the Ming Dynasty, and do business with the Mongols, which can be said to be 'smuggling', and can also be said to be 'collaborating with the enemy'!

Of course, with the fall of the Chahar and other tribes and the rise of the Jiangu, the Fan family's trade object has changed to the Jiangu.

If Zhou Zheng was here, he would definitely be able to accurately say that Fan Yongdou had been to Shenyang and met Huang Taiji!

Fan Yongdou looked at this thousand households and said in a low voice: "Just open your mouth for as much as you want." ”

The thousand households sneered in their eyes, took two steps back, and said with a normal face: "Everyone take it away and raid the house!" ”

Fan Yongdou raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Slow! ”

This Qianhu looked cold, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and said, "Fan Yongdou, you don't want to toast and eat and drink!" ”

Fan Yongdou raised his hand and said, "Lord Qianhu, wait a moment." ”

These thousand households naturally knew that Fan Yongdou was delaying time, how could they give him this time, and said, "Arrest, no one is allowed to escape!" ”

Jinyi Wei led the officials, frantically began to arrest people, and rushed into Fan's mansion.

Fan Yongdou's eyes widened, gritting his teeth, but he was helpless.

Fan Yongdou was quickly locked up, standing in the Fan family's compound, his expression was ugly, his fists were clenched, and he was still praying in his heart, praying that the letter he sent would respond and come to save him.

The Fan family's business is all over Zhangjiakou, and they have close relationships with officials of all walks of life in Shanxi, and someone will definitely come to their rescue!

Fan's mansion is very large, and the raid has been carried out for half an hour, and it is still going on.

Qianhu walked around the Fan family's compound for half an hour, and before he was done, he came to Fan Yongdou and looked at the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings in the courtyard, which was really rich and staggering.

He picked up a piece of gold ingot, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Don't give up yet?" ”

Fan Yongdou frowned, his face was ugly, and said, "They will appear." ”

Qianhu shook his head and said, "If I appear here, you should die." Let me tell you the truth, the imperial court is liquidating the 'anti-party', and there is a separate list of merchants, and your Fan family ranks first. ”

Fan Yongdou looked startled and said, "Why? ”
