Chapter 14 Planning
Macheng, Qiufu, although they are all the masters of a gang, one of the three giants of Macheng, but the style is very different, Aguli's residence is outside the city, is a large grassland, Menghu is born in the green forest, and is not particular about food and housing, but Qiu Chi is quite particular about life, rockery pavilions, and high walls, the courtyard covers a large area, and the building in the house is quite layered, when it was first built, it was obviously carefully designed, giving people a feeling of scholarly heirlooms.
"Mr. Qiu, I, Meng Hu, respect your reputation and promise you this, but you don't want to play tricks on me Meng Hu, you said that within five days, the new county magistrate will arrive, but now it's been a few days? Not even a single figure. Meng Hu frowned and looked at Qiu Chi and said: "My gang is not as rich as Mr. Qiu, the brothers who help the people have nothing to do for more than ten days, and they still have a family to support." ”
Meng Hu people are as their name suggests, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and angry eyes, looking forward to it, they have a fierce atmosphere, and they are irritable at the moment, and the entire Mengfu lobby is filled with a depressing atmosphere.
"Meng Hu, don't worry, the county magistrate is not the future, but he is stationed thirty miles outside the city, and he has been refusing to enter the city, I once sent someone to follow Qiu Chi's wishes, disguised as a common person to invite the county magistrate into the city, but I didn't even see the other party's face, it seems that the county magistrate has been alert." Aguli was bare-chested, touched his messy hair with some distress, and said irritably.
"Leader Agu said carefully." Qiu Chi had a sincere smile on his chubby face, shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Taishou, it's me who missed Xingzang." ”
"Speaking of which, it's not all your fault." As soon as he said this, Meng Hu was a little irritable, glared at Qiu Chi angrily and said, "If you hadn't sent someone to ambush you halfway, but you were picked up by others, how could the rich man be alert." ”
Qiu Chi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the Ye family's guards would be so powerful, the ones we sent were all brave men under our hands, and they were easily defeated by the other party, which was more powerful than ordinary county soldiers." ”
"So what now? They neither go into the city nor retreat, and he can afford it, but we can't afford it. Qiu Chi said with some irritability: "Recently, a new small gang that doesn't know whether to live or die has been robbing us of our business, and many brothers in the gang have passed, and if it continues like this, you two will be fine, but those brothers of mine will have to run under the hands of others." ”
Probably five days before Ye Zhao's men and horses were stationed outside the city, a small gang appeared in the city, grabbing land everywhere, Meng Hu didn't care too much at first, after all, the three giants of Macheng are here, how can they care about a small gang of dozens of people, but this small gang is recruiting everywhere in these days, constantly annexing small gangs, but in half a month, it has grown to more than 200 people, and if it continues to rise like this, I am afraid that there will be a fourth largest gang in Macheng, and the most important thing is that the other party's path is the same as Meng Hu, is also looking for a job for the people at the bottom, and the commission is much less than Meng Hu, and many of his gangs have been dug up, which makes Meng Hu have a sense of crisis.
"Rest easy." Qiu Chi waved his hand and said: "It's just a small gang, after this matter is over, I will help you take care of it, and I will work together, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with a stunned young man?" ”
"That's what you said." Meng Hu stretched out three fingers, stared at Qiu Chi and said: "Three days, at most Lao Tzu will wait for three more days, if there is no result after three days, then I will not accompany you and say goodbye." ”
With a fist hug at the two, Meng Hu went back directly with a few of his subordinates.
"We don't care about the affairs of your Han people, but you must ensure that my business will not be affected, which was agreed with Guo Cheng at the beginning." Watching Meng Hu leave, Aguli also stood up, looked at Qiu Chi, and said in broken Chinese.
"Leader Aguli don't worry, I will take care of this matter, but I hope that Leader Aguli can lend me some more people, these people are not so simple." Qiu Chi said indifferently.
"Yes, I'll lend you 300 Karasuma warriors, but I'll have to add another 10% to the reward." Aguli laughed.
"Leader Aguli, you are a little unruly in doing this." Qiu Chi frowned.
"You have to be clear, this is what you are begging us to ......" Aguli's eyes flashed with this rebellious look: "Our sons of Karasuma only believe in power. ”
"I hope the leader of Aguli will not forget, your horses are worth the current price because of you, and the salt and iron you need are also bought from you, if you want to talk to me about strength, I can immediately cut off the trade with you, I believe that in this steppe, there are tribes who are willing to cooperate with me." Qiu Chi sneered.
"You ......" Aguli turned his head and glared at Qiu Chi.
"Although you are not my Han Chinese, but the rules of my Han people, I still hope that the leader of Aguli understands something, don't think too highly of yourself, and keep the name too much, the leader of the Ruyi tribe, dare to call it out!?" Qiu Chi stared at him coldly, and said Sen Ran: "Do you know that as long as Tai Shou gives an order, how many people in your tribe will starve to death this winter because of your words?" ”
Aguli looked at Qiu Chi with a gloomy face, spat fiercely for a long time, and turned to leave.
"Before dark, I hope to be able to meet the three hundred warriors, although I don't think they deserve the title of warrior." Looking at Aguli's back, Qiu Chi said indifferently.
"You're insulting me as a Karasuma warrior?" Aguli suddenly turned his head and looked at Qiu Chi calmly.
"yes." Qiu Chi nodded as a matter of course: "Last year, you Karasuma gathered 10,000 criminals, but was defeated by Captain Yuyang with 2,000 people, such a force, I really can't think of how to be worthy of the title of warrior?" ”
"Humph!" Aguli's face turned purple and he turned around and left, if he had the chance, he swore that he would definitely break this damn Han man into pieces.
"I don't know." Watching Aguli go out, Qiu Chi sneered and shook the sleeves of his robe, turned his head and said, "Come on, scrub the ground again, throw it out for me where Qiu Chi has done, dirty!" ”
"Whoa." Several family members hurriedly came up and began to clean up according to Qiu Chi's instructions.
After Qiu Chi waited in the mansion for a while, a henchman came in.
"Then how did Meng Hu react?" Qiu Chi beckoned people to his side and asked.
"I've gone back to his yard, and I'm not in a good mood to see the situation, and I've been working hard in the yard." The henchman bowed down.
"If you don't have a plan, you can't do great things!" Qiu Chi snorted coldly, got up and said, "Let's go, take a few people, and follow me to the inn." ”
In Macheng, the largest inn is Qiu Chi's industry, the layout is quite stylish, but unfortunately the asking price is too high, and the merchants are obviously unwilling to spend in this kind of place, but the Nightingale Pavilion next door is overcrowded every night.
"Mr. Qiu? Our helper has been waiting for a long time. As soon as he entered the inn, he saw Gao Sheng greeted him with a smile and looked at Qiu Chidao with a smile.
"Hmm." Qiu Chi nodded lightly, followed Gao Sheng, walked behind the other party with a few cronies, pulled a few steps away, and said in a low voice: "Did Zhao Ye go out today?" ”
"No, a few of the gang members came to tell him something about the gang, and everyone but one left." The steward of the inn bowed.
"When?" Qiu Chi frowned.
"Not so long ago." The shopkeeper wondered, "Sir, but what are the doubts?" ”
"Only one person?" Qiu Chi said.
"It's true that there is only one person left, plus Zhao Ye's dozen or so subordinates, the people in our inn are enough to deal with it." The shopkeeper hurriedly said.
"Don't be nervous." Qiu Chi shook his head, secretly saying that he was too cautious, and when he followed Gao Sheng to the attic, the solemn expression on his face had been replaced by a cute smile, and he arched his hand to Ye Zhao, who was dressed in a clean white robe, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, meet again." ”
"Mr. Qiu came to see me today, I think there is a very important matter, if it is for the matter of the Meng gang master, please go back, Mr. Qiu should know that one mountain does not allow two tigers, this horse city is not big, this line is so big, it is difficult for the two of us to reconcile." Ye Zhao smiled and said, Zhao Ye is his pseudonym, and it is naturally difficult for him to form a gang.
"There's something down there that I don't know." Qiu Chi frowned.
"Please." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Although the Changshan Zhao family is not a family, it is also a wealthy family, why would they be interested in such a remote place?" Qiu Chi stared at Ye Zhaodao.
"Yes, Mr. Qiu also knows that we are just a wealthy family and not a family, and we don't have the courage to treat money like dung like a family, we are all laymen, and laypeople should do what laypeople should do, so we are here." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"In the early years of the next year, he also traveled to the mountains, and visited Zhao An, a famous scholar in Chang'an, I don't know how he is doing?" Qiu Chi said with a smile.
"Zhao An?" A blank flash flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes, and he looked at Qiu Chi and said, "Isn't Mr. Qiu deceived?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Qiu Chi wondered.
"In Changshan, there are famous people Yan Huai, great Confucian Liu Sheng, among my Zhao family, there are also a few outstanding people, but they dare not call themselves famous people, who is the famous Zhao An that Mr. Qiu said?" Ye Zhao sneered in his heart, although he was not the real Zhao family, but as a disciple of Cai Yong, the three generations of the Ye family wore it alone, and he knew the names, sources and even writings of famous people in the world, which Qiu Chi was clearly deceiving him.
"Maybe I'm misremembering." Qiu Chi shook his head and said: "Since Brother Zhao Xian wants to replace that Meng Hu, it's okay, but since Brother Zhao Xian wants to come to seek wealth, why just value that Meng Hu's business, this business doesn't have much head." ”
"In the next place, I actually want to have a certain financial route, but ninety percent of the financial road in Macheng is in the hands of Mr. Qiu, so ...... I hope that Mr. Qiu can also consider considering my Zhao family. Ye Zhao said with a smile: "As for that Meng Hu, if Mr. Qiu is unwilling, he can let him live." ”
"No!" Qiu Chi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao Xian doesn't have to take care of it, this person is just a reckless man, without any self-knowledge, Qiu Mou has been thinking about who to replace him recently, but there has been no suitable candidate, so ...... Since Brother Zhao Xiandi intends to take over, he will take over, and he will be restrained for three days, hoping that within three days, Brother Zhao Xiandi will be able to finish this, as for that Meng Hu......"
A sneer of disdain flashed in Qiu Chi's eyes: "Three days later, if Brother Zhao Xian can replace him, Meng Hu's head, Qiu will personally present it." ”
"Bang~"
Before the words fell, the door was suddenly kicked open roughly, Qiu Chi turned his head, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, his eyes couldn't help but open, and he looked at Ye Zhao with a shocked face: "Brother Zhao Xian...... This...... What does this mean!? ”
