Chapter 329: And the Insider
Seeing Xu Mingxuan deflated, Song Zheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed (read the full text in the misty rain). Two years of lustful dogs and horses have made Xu Mingxuan lose his sharpness, and he doesn't even have the courage to rise, so it's really unbearable.
Song Zheng sighed, lifted the wine jar, drank nearly half a jar of wine, wiped his lips, and laughed out loud (read the full text of Ping's tracer video recording).
"Xiaolang," Xu Mingxuan snorted, "We're still friends!" ”
"Of course it's a friend," Song Zheng cracked his mouth, his voice a little desolate, "It's a pity that Song has one less brother!" ”
Xu Mingxuan was shocked and stood up straight. stared at Song Zheng, there was panic, despair, and sorrow in his eyes, and so on.
Song Zheng didn't look at him either, and sighed, "I don't blame Brother Xu, everyone has their own ambitions, and the twisted melon is not sweet, I just ask Brother Xu to take care of Huitong Commerce and Trade for a day in Licheng." In order to reward Brother Xu for his kindness, I have another 300 dry shares as a reward. These 300 shares were originally prepared for Brother Xu, in order to conspire with Brother Xu. Although Brother Xu has no interest in discussing development, these three hundred shares are still given to you, counting the three hundred shares promised at the wine table, a total of six hundred shares, I hope that Brother Xu can hand over six thousand taels of silver tomorrow. ”
Xu Mingxuan's body shook again, "Xiaolang, I ......"
Song Zheng waved his hand and said lightly, "That's all for today, and then I want to hear Brother Xu talk about Jiangning City." ”
"Xiaolang, listen to me." Xu Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Since Xiaolang looks up to me, I'm not afraid to tell you what I think." With Xiaolang's ingenuity, there must be better partners in Jiangning, such as Huang Yuandu's second son, Huang Song, who is extremely intelligent and can use every last resort to open up. With the importance of the prime minister to Mr. Xishan, it is not difficult for Xiaolang to make friends with him, if he participates, with the help of the prime minister's prestige, Huitong Commerce and Trade will definitely be able to become popular in the world soon. ”
Song Zheng snorted and didn't speak, he didn't share the sky with Huang Song, and if he cooperated, I couldn't wait to strangle him to death.
Xu Mingxuan continued, "When the world is venerable, many princes and nobles in Jiangning are all on the grounds of handing over Mr. Xishan, Xiaolang is here, even if he does not cooperate with that Huang Song and discuss with other princes of the family, he can succeed." As for me, I am self-aware, not to mention that I am in this situation now, I really can't bear to let Xiaolang fail to achieve something big because of his friendship. ”
Song Zheng's eyes flashed, "So, it's not that Brother Xu doesn't have the ambition to revive his majesty, but he is afraid that he will mislead me?" ”
Xu Mingxuan nodded, "You and I intersect with sincerity, if I drag Xiaolang down, it will not be beautiful (Dragon and Phoenix Baochai Yuan)." ”
Song Zheng was a little moved in his heart, this Xu Mingxuan is a very affectionate person, even if he insulted him with words, he was still not annoyed, but considered for me, such a friend, such a brother, is worth befriending.
"Then let me ask you, Brother Xu, do you really want to mess around like this? Can you really bear to give up Miss Tang Wan? Song Zheng remained silent.
Xu Mingxuan smashed the table hatefully, "In the past two years, I haven't thought about returning to Jiangning every day!" Every day I don't want to lead the Xu family! Every day I don't want to pull Wan'er out of the fire pit! Please take a look! ”
Xu Mingxuan said, took off his shirt, and turned around to expose his back. Song Zheng was startled, only to see that Xu Mingxuan's back was covered with layers of whiplashes, new scars were stacked with old scars, purple scars were accompanied by blood scabs, I don't know how many whips he received!
"Xiaolang didn't know that every time I woke up drunk, I asked Ah Rong to whip me, and with the help of the pain, I was reminded not to forget the matter of Jiangning. Xiao Ting, Huang Yue, the second and fifth, I will trample them under my feet one by one! Xu Mingxuan gritted his teeth, "I was mixed with Qiao Shang and Hou Zhonglian, and I also got the name of the three princes, in order to paralyze those people in order to try to taoguang!" ”
Is this Xu Mingxuan a masochist? Song Zheng frowned, "Brother Xu, you don't seem to have finished speaking!" ”
Xu Mingxuan put on his clothes again and looked at Song Zheng in surprise, "Xiaolang is really smart." ”
"It's nothing, since Brother Xu can be so ruthless to himself, then the matter between Brother Xu and Xiao Ting and your Xu family will definitely not be so simple, there should be a deep grudge!"
Xu Mingxuan sighed, "Not bad." Our Xu family is now in decline, although it is related to the premature death of my grandfather, but it is mainly internal friction. When my grandfather was alive, he treated all the children of the Xu family equally (read the full text of Makino Meteor). The position of the uncle's squire is also borrowed from the grandfather's grace. However, over the years, Uncle Zu has done everything possible to cultivate the power of his own force, and has handed over many businesses to his children and grandchildren. My father was originally in charge of the Xu family's silk weaving and cloth business, and he was also the largest piece of the Xu family. However, his uncle gradually seized power, first separating the cloth, then intervening in silk weaving, and finally handing over only the business of the southeast coast to his father. ”
Xu Mingxuan's face turned red, and he continued, "After my accident, the fifth brother intervened again, nominally to assist my father, but I also took away most of the coastal business, and now, only Quanzhou is left to my father's jurisdiction. My father was depressed, but he was helpless. Even so, for the sake of the Xu family's plan, his father still carefully taught the fifth Xu Mingju, and handed over all the old relationships and old customers of the Xu family. ”
"The most hateful is the second Xu Mingsu, this person is dignified in face, but in fact he is a demon in color. As early as two years ago, I secretly molested my sister. In the past two years, seeing that my sister Juying has become more handsome, she has become more and more presumptuous. A few days ago, I received news that this guy actually proposed to my uncle that he wanted my sister to marry his cousin Shi Lin as his wife. This Shi Lin is Xu Mingsu's best friend, and secretly I don't know how many good women I have found for him. Once Ju Ying falls into his hands, he will definitely be insulted by Xu Mingsu! ”
Song Zheng was stunned, this Xu Mingsu didn't let go of the clan sisters, it can be said that they are not as good as beasts.
Xu Mingxuan continued, "There is also news that when I was discussing the redemption of Wan'er in Shuiyuefang, Jiangning, that day, I had just negotiated the price, and Xiao Ting arrived. Xiao Ting and Xu Mingsu are good friends, if there is no secret communication between Xu Mingsu and Xiao Ting, Wan'er would have been redeemed a long time ago. ”
Clenching his fists tightly, Xu Mingxuan's knuckles turned white, "This is all the ugliness of the Xu family, if it weren't for this, I would never tell Xiaolang." Xiaolang should know my troubles! ”
Song Zheng sighed secretly, behind the hidden feelings, there is actually a shady scene, no wonder even if he is agitated, Xu Mingxuan is still discouraged, such a thing, Xu Mingxuan's self-protection is a problem, how to cooperate!
"Brother Xu, since you are in this situation, then Xu Dengcheng, the housekeeper who is specifically in charge of the field, should not be so simple?" Song Zheng threw out another question. "Xiaolang is right. That Xu Dengcheng was nominally assisting me, but in fact he was the henchman of Xu Mingsu's father (the latest chapter of the snap of thunder). What I have done in Licheng in the past two years, it is estimated that Xu Mingsu is very clear, and I am acting, mainly to show him. ”
Song Zheng glanced outside, and Xu Mingxuan hurriedly said, "Ah Rong has no problem." Ah Rong was an orphan that my father picked up outside in his early years, and he followed me since I was a child. I felt uncomfortable, so I forced Ah Rong to whip me. Ah Rong cried bitterly every time, and he couldn't do it, and I threatened him with self-defeat, so he smoked it. ”
"Does Xu Dengcheng know about this kind of thing?"
"My sleeping place is a small independent courtyard in the big courtyard, and every time Ah Rong listens outside for a good movement, he whips it, and he should be able to hide from him. Xu Dengcheng never asked about this. ”
Song Zheng said in his heart, he can't wait for you to commit suicide, how can he care about you!
"Brother Xu, haven't you thought about getting rid of this Xu Dengcheng?"
"How haven't you thought about it!" Xu Mingxuan sighed, "However, Xu Dengcheng is not a simple person. I wonder if Xiaolang has heard of Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Division? ”
Song Zheng nodded, Lao Tzu was originally a member of the Imperial City Division, and he was a mortal enemy with Dark Eagle, how could he not know these two spy departments. Does Xu Dengcheng still have a relationship with them?
"The personnel of the Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Division often have to go through the channel of transshipment of goods in the field. Xu Dengcheng had a close relationship with them, and was even a member of the Dark Eagle or the Imperial City Division. These two mysterious organizations are all black-hearted, and I am worried that dealing with Xu Dengcheng will annoy them and I will suffer from them. Therefore, I have not dared to act. When I first came, I was under his watch, and I had to cover myself up with indulgence. This year, perhaps Xu Dengcheng felt that I was no longer a threat and relaxed his surveillance of me. Even sometimes give me a little more silver, as long as it's not too excessive, and let me spend as much as I want. ”
Song Zheng asked again, "Didn't you make some preparations for revenge?" ”
"I'm ashamed to say that when I came from Jiangning, I had twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver on hand. Some of them I got when I was running my father's business, and some of them were given to me by my mother (the latest chapter of You Jianjianghu). I spent most of the past two years, trying to get to know some high-rollers, however, I spent a lot of money, but I haven't seen the characters. In addition, I also opened an antique shop, selling some calligraphy and paintings, bronzes and the like, and also made a little money. Originally, I wanted to use this as an accumulation to expand the business. However, the energy is limited, although the store is not small, but the place in Licheng is too small to support too large a field. ”
"Do you have an antique shop?" Song Zheng asked in surprise, he thought of the second part of King Lu's treasures that he had gotten, those were all gold, silver and jade, extremely exquisite, but he didn't have a chance to make a move.
"Yes, the name is called Langbaolou, and now it is one of the few antique shops in Licheng. What, Xiaolang has good things in his hands? ”
Song Zheng didn't answer, but pondered. After a while, Fang said, "Brother Xu, even if you are like this now, I still want to cooperate with you." Help you win the position you deserve in the Xu family, I don't know what you think? ”
"Xiaolang, I thank you for your kindness, but ......"
Song Zheng sank his face, "Brother Xu, I, Song Zheng, have always been true to my words, today for Brother Xu's sake, I have already said the same thing twice, I don't want to say it for the third time!" ”
Xu Mingxuan stared at Song Zheng, and after a moment, he struck his two fists fiercely, "As long as Xiao Lang helps me take charge of the Xu family, I will definitely do my best to help Xiao Lang and open the trade line throughout Daqi." ”
Song Zheng smiled, "Then Brother Xu also has to promise me a condition!" ”
"You say!"
"In the future, don't let Ah Rong whip himself again, these scars on your back, I will think of removing them for you!"
"Okay!" Xu Mingxuan said happily, "In my situation, Xiaolang still wants to help me, what reason do I have not to fight!" ”
Song Zheng laughed, "Okay, let's have a drink!" ”
