Chapter 274: Letter from the Sect Master

"How's it going at home?" Putting aside the matter of Huzhou, Yuan Hui asked about the situation of the Iron Hand Regiment.

"This is a letter from the Sect Master to you!" Hearing this, the faces of the two of them unconsciously darkened, and the fox took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yuan Hui.

Looking at his expression, Yuan Hui knew that the situation of the Iron Hand Group must not be very good. I took a breath and took the envelope, which was quite thick.

When he opened it and read it carefully, his sword eyebrows also wrinkled.

On the side, Hu Wei said simply: "The two of us have been in Huzhou before, and we are not familiar with the affairs of Yangzhou. However, after returning to Jiangdu, I also learned a little more. In the face of the siege of the black and white roads, we suffered heavy losses. Chu, Yang, Run, Chang, Su and other places, which belong to the industries and forces controlled by us, have been robbed one after another. Gambling houses, restaurants, green buildings, ports...... The loss is not counted! ”

Hu Wei said, his expression was gloomy, as if he was hurting Yuan Qi's flesh. Seeing that although Yuan Hui was frowning, he had no other reaction, so he couldn't help but take a sip of tea and continued: "Huainan's illegal salt trade has almost come to a standstill. The forces that were previously attached to the Iron Hand Regiment have also betrayed many people and led foreign enemies against us! ”

Speaking of this, the fox's face couldn't help but show murderous intent.

"Where's Crouching Tiger?" There was anxiety in her tone, and she didn't speak Yun Gu interjected, staring straight at the fox danger, and the little lady had been thinking about it in her heart.

"Don't worry, Crouching Tiger Village is fine, I said earlier, your father is very smart......" Noticing the worry on the little lady's face, Yuan Hui put down the stack of letter paper in his hand and gave her a smile.

Listening to his words, looking at the warm smile on Yuan Langjun's face, Yun Gu felt a little relieved, but she was still staring at Yuan Hui.

"Your father is much more faithful than those who betrayed! He took Crouching Tiger Village to stabilize Xuyi's private salt trade for the Iron Hand Group. His father was very satisfied with his performance, and had decided to hand over the entire private salt market in Chuzhou to him to take care of! Yuan Hui said lightly, and said Chaoyun smiled: "Besides, even if it's for your sake, he will be fine!" ”

appeased the little lady, and Yuan Hui couldn't help but fall into thought. The description of the fox danger is only an approximation, and the letter from Yuan Qi is much more detailed.

On the surface, the Iron Hand Group is indeed "declining" and has suffered heavy losses. However, it is only on the surface, and the real elite power has long been shrunk to the main halls of Hailing and Hudouzhou.

It is only those peripheral forces that have really been hit, and the loss of interests and prestige is naturally huge. However, the "friend and foe" forces were also screened out according to this, and under the crisis, the hidden dangers inside were also exposed.

This time, the reshuffle of the rivers and lakes that swept Jianghuai can be regarded as a slimming and blood exchange of the Iron Hand Group to "conform to the general trend......

At least from the words, although Yuan Qi's anger can still be felt, the sect master's mentality has been much better.

This is also a big "transformation" move of the Iron Hand Group, Yuan Qi has decided to "go ashore", and since the name of the "Iron Hand Group" is stinky, it is ready to be abandoned.

The "killer" business is no longer the main business, and it will be spun off and handed over to the "Iron Hand Group" brand to attract the attention of the imperial court, hostile forces, and even the three sects and nine streams in the rivers and lakes.

Yuan Qi, on the other hand, will focus on overseas trade, and not long ago, the caravan that had been prepared for more than half a year finally went to sea for the first time. The foundation of the Iron Hand Regiment is there, and Yuan Qi's previous accumulation is not to be talked about, materials, manpower, weapons, and commodities are all available.

Led by Longfeng, Huyun and other hall masters, the three sea ships took the north road to Liaodong and Silla. The two ships took the south road and explored the road to the south, and outside the coastal states of Jiangdong, large and small islands could be dotted. Starting from Hudouzhou, the geographical location is far less convenient than that of Fu, Quan, etc., so you have to explore carefully......

It can be seen that the consideration of going to sea, in addition to the back road and benefits that the father and son thought about before, Yuan Qi also has the purpose of transferring internal functions. The Iron Hand Regiment has been developing smoothly for so many years, and it has suddenly suffered such a big blow and loss, and the suzerain's disposition is still so "weak", it is inevitable that the minds of the people below will feel strange.

You can't keep suppressing it, you have to find something for your subordinates to do.

Of course, Yuan Qi will not be willing to lose anything, as far as those industries in Jianghuai are concerned, in addition to collecting wealth for Yuan Qi every year, they can support a large number of iron hand group manpower, and they are not willing to be easily occupied.

Judging by the meaning of the sect master, when the limelight passes, he will definitely snatch it back.

At the same time, for those large and small forces in the rivers and lakes who pounced on them to "beat the water dogs" and find excitement and profit from the Iron Hand Group, he will retaliate sooner or later, but he has to wait for the limelight to completely pass.

As for the betrayers who were attached to the Iron Hand Regiment, they didn't have to wait that long, Yuan Qi was already planning to make a move. With the means of the sect master, it is conceivable that there will be more tragedies on the rivers and lakes in the future.

In addition, Yuan Qi also mentioned that among the many forces against the Iron Hand Regiment, a very unfamiliar force emerged in Chang and Su Prefectures, which was very secretive and particularly powerful. It seems to be from the north, no matter how "down" the Iron Hand Regiment is, it is also a local snake all over Jianghuai, and it is sensitive and important to this sudden opponent.

Listening to his description, Yuan Hui immediately connected the mysterious people and horses that Hu Wei said about the appearance of Huzhou. Isn't it a snake spirit! After racking his brain and pondering for a few moments, he passed this thought.

However, Yuan Langjun quickly put away his thoughts, no matter what kind of force the other party is, even if it is an internal guard, in Jianghuai, under the premise that Yuan Qi is prepared, there is nothing to be afraid of. The situation has collapsed, and no amount of bad is for the Iron Hand.

The fingers that knocked on the bookcase stopped, Yuan Hui glanced at the three people in the room, took a light breath, and sighed: "It seems that my father's side will soon do something to those people, and the turmoil in Jianghuai will not be able to calm down in a short time!" ”

Hearing Yuanhui's words, Zhang Zhi immediately said: "If you dare to betray the Iron Hand Group, you must be prepared to die, if you are not sent by the sect master, your subordinates will definitely kill all those villains!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhi was making a lot of nonsense there, Yuan Langjun didn't hear it, glanced at him, and his people immediately laughed.

Putting away the letter and focusing on the two of them, Yuan Hui directly ordered: "You settle down in the mansion first, Hu Wei will be the housekeeper, and Zhang Zhi will be the guard!" ”

"Yes!" The two responded directly. They were originally transferred to Yuan Hui's side to listen to it, if it weren't for the delay in Huzhou, they would have followed Lailuo a long time ago.

With such a knowledgeable brother, in Luoyang, Yuan Hui is also more comfortable, not as "poor" as before.

"Plus, you're going to regain your real name!"

......

In the small garden, walking next to Yun Gu, Yuan Hui's expression was obviously still pretending to be something.

Yuan Qi's letter mainly mentioned three points, the "transformation" of the Iron Hand Group, and the revenge of sea trade. These things are just to inform him. Regarding Jianghuai's situation, he can't reach it after all.

Quietly glanced at Yun Gu, and did not explain one thing to her, Ge Tianba had a different heart.

In addition, Li Qingxia is pregnant for nine months and is not far from childbirth......
