At the same time, in a small courtyard in Pingyang Mansion, a middle-aged man with a white face looked at Fan Xi who was kneeling in front of him eagerly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Tong'er, how is she now?" ”

Fan Xi replied to him with a look of shame: "Please forgive the master, the old slave failed to save the young lady according to the master's plan!" ”

The middle-aged man standing in front of Fan Xi was not an outsider, it was Fan Yaoshan, the big shopkeeper of the Fan family, when he heard the news of Fan Xi's return, he already vaguely knew that Fan Xi failed to bring Fan Yutong back this time, but he still had a trace of illusion and asked Fan Xi again. （..)

After confirming that Fan Yutong could not be rescued by Fan Xi, Fan Yaoshan couldn't help but sit back in his chair in disappointment, and shouted at Fan Xi quite angrily: "Why? I sent Wang Chengping to you, and I also sent you so many good hands, didn't you think of a way? How is Tong'er doing now? What about Wang Chengping? Where is he now? ”

Fan Xi knelt on the ground and replied cautiously: "The old slave should die!" It's the old slave who is incompetent! But don't worry too much for the time being, Miss, she's fine right now!

As for Wang Chengping, please listen to the old slave and tell the old man carefully......"

So Fan Xi carefully told Fan Yaoshan the details of his trip to Yangcheng this time.

After hearing this, Fan Yaoshan asked with some disbelieving: "Is it really as you said?" Is Tong'er really okay? ”

"The old slave is not a clumsy eye, looking at Miss's complexion and expression, Miss should definitely still be perfect, and Miss's life there is quite good, at least Miss looks very relaxed, and she has not been abused by the pole, so please rest assured! Miss is fine right now! There is also a letter written by the young lady to the master in front of the old slave, please take a look at it! Fan Xi then comforted Fan Yaoshan and said.

Fan Yaoshan took the letter in Fan Xi's hand, and immediately looked at it carefully after unfolding it, and after reading it, he sighed slightly and said, "Is this Tong'er's life?" Is this surnamed Xiao really a person who can achieve great things as she said? ”

"Master, this time the old slave has been in contact with the big boss surnamed Xiao for a few days, and all the people in his army admire him very much, and this person is very smart, and his style of action is completely different from that of ordinary poles.

The local government has also tried to quell the local bandits, but it has been repeatedly frustrated over the years, so that most of Yangcheng County is almost uncontrollable, and this surnamed Xiao soon arrived there, he made the local water inaccessible, Wang Chengping was captured, but also because the local people reported to them, it can be seen that this person does have some skills!

And what Miss said in the letter is clear, I hope the old man will think twice! If this person can indeed achieve great things, isn't it a great opportunity for the master? Fan Xi replied on his knees.

Fan Yaoshan stood up, paced back and forth in the room with the letter in his back hand, and was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he waved his hand and said, "You get up!" Now that the matter has come to this, even if it is just for Tong'er, I can only obey their orders! Tell me about it! What do they want us to do......"

So Fan Xi took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was written with a list of the first batch of materials needed by the Xingtian Army and presented it to Fan Yaoshan.

After Fan Yaoshan looked at it, he nodded and said: "These things are not very difficult to buy, except for a large amount of sulfur saltpeter, they will not cause any trouble!" Saltpeter is not easy to get right now, but sulfur is easier to handle! So they said no, how do we trade? ”

Fan Xi replied to Fan Yaoshan: "The old slave has already discussed with the person surnamed Xiao, we can set up a business in Yangcheng County, and then transport these things to Yangcheng or to Zezhou, they will arrange for someone to pick up the goods on the way, and then we can send someone to their designated place to collect the debt!" In this way, even if the government is aware of it, it will be difficult for it to grasp our handle! ”

"That's a solution! Good! Just do what you say, but the person in charge of Yangcheng County must be suitable, I don't think there is any need to choose another person, since you are dealing with them from beginning to end, then you will be responsible for this matter in the future! You can choose the specific manpower, and choose the most reliable person to follow you! Another thing you have to remember is that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better! It's just a pity that Wang Chengping them! As soon as they stay in Yangcheng, I won't have many people on hand! After Fan Yaoshan sighed, he nodded helplessly and agreed, and at the same time made his arrangements.

"The old slave obeys! Will definitely take care of this! However, Wang Chengping's matter is not necessarily a bad thing, if the relationship between our two sides can be stabilized, they will definitely be able to do what Wang Chengping was able to do before, this kind of thing is good for both of us, why don't they do it? After Fan Xi nodded in agreement, he persuaded Fan Yaoshan again.

"That's so, but when will they be willing to put Tong'er back?" Fan Yaoshan still said upset.

Fan Xi also shook his head secretly, because he couldn't say this kind of thing, and looking at the meaning of the young lady, he was not in a hurry, this matter was really a little weird.

"That's it! Let's do it first! I still have important things to deal with in Taiyuan Mansion, and you can arrange the things here! As for the price of the goods, we don't make too much money, and try to be fair to their prices! Now the key is for them to promise that Tong'er's safety must be guaranteed! In addition, when you go to Yangcheng again, tell Wang Chengping that he doesn't have to worry about their families, I will properly settle them here, and I will never treat them badly! Let them stay and do things with peace of mind! Maybe one day, they'll come back to help me! Fan Yaoshan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, since the matter has come to this, he can only accept this fact, and he is a businessman, and he also sees a huge business opportunity from it, if Fan Yutong doesn't say anything about it, the other party comes to the door, it is estimated that he will not refuse this kind of business, Fan Yutong said in the letter is good, now he is indeed the time to bet on the treasure, this Xingtianjun seems to have a bit of potential at the moment, betting on some treasure on Xiao Tian Fitness, it may indeed be a wise choice.

So after Fan Xi agreed, he immediately went out and began to arrange, even during the Chinese New Year, for businessmen like them, many things will not stop, so as long as Fan Xi gives an order, all kinds of materials will continue to gather in Pingyang Mansion, and the next step is to go to Yangcheng County to open a branch, and transfer this batch of materials to the Yangcheng boundary to the Xingtian Army.
