"Since the old Xia Ge sent Li Dazhang and those muddy people to Fengyang Mansion to take a turn, I didn't dare to use the tax collection items like "drenching and kicking" and "fire consumption" in the past, and I took back the salt from more than ten salt shops under my hand, so many people inside and outside the yamen are waiting for me to eat, I don't look for the eldest brother, who can I find? ”

"Wang Bolun."

Zhao Hongchuan spoke softly, and Wang Bolun suddenly stopped, pursed his lips, and said with an embarrassed face: "Okay, I won't say it." ”

Zhao Hongchuan said slowly: "Among the three of us, I am making money, and the third is a pathfinder, and my life is not as good as you, who are all left behind in the hall." We brothers talk about family life, I have said a lot about being big, don't take it to heart. ”

Zhao Hongchuan habitually spoke very slowly and slowly, smiled in an extremely kind tone, and continued: "I heard that the current Yamen of the Governor of Fengyang Mansion is the back garden where you are staying, I don't know where these words come from." Today, I heard you say those drenched words, and I finally understand..."

"Even the government collects taxes, you have to interfere? Are you stretching your hands too long? ”

He raised his hand to serve the tea, but saw that the tea had already bottomed out, and it was drunk when he and Fan Sanye were waiting for Wang Bolun.

Fan Sanye naturally raised his hand to pour tea for him, Zhao Hongchuan accepted it as a matter of course, and took a shallow sip.

Zhao Hongchuan continued: "You have to grasp the military power in your hands, don't let others covet it." What should be given to you, I won't miss you, what you shouldn't want, you don't want to open your mouth, I am a businessman, the third is a shipman, you are an official. It stands to reason that among us we should respect you, and the one who is a brother is taking advantage of age, and I have said a lot of things, so you should treat me as if I am old and talk trivially. ”

Zhao Hongchuan beat a series of cancellations, a stick and a sweet date, a sweet date and a stick, and slowly choked Wang Bolun's words.

Fan Sanye didn't say a word, just stared at the flickering lights silently, Wang Bolun licked his lips, and secretly thought, in the past, this Fan Jidao was like this, a down-and-out dog who became like a soul swimming in the water, and dared to treat himself like this, it was really too deceitful.

But he thought about it again, the salt merchant had collapsed, and he really couldn't turn his face with Zhao Hongchuan at this time.

Zhao Hongchuan, an old guy, has always been biased towards Fan Jidao, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, he can't throw fire on Fan Jidao.

Wang Bolun smiled, not embarrassed or embarrassed, and said, "Come on, I haven't said those words." It's just that my subordinates have a sharp decrease in salary, and I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”

Zhao Hongchuan frowned slightly and asked, "Are you threatening me, or is it the master?" ”

Wang Bolun smiled and said, "Don't dare." ”

Zhao Hongchuan snorted lightly and said, "You have a quick temper, and I don't know how to change it." ”

Wang Bolun's eyes turned secretly, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm also embarrassed, big brother, you and my brother want to say, you can't ignore me." ”

"That's it!" Zhao Hongchuan smiled angrily and said, "How can the eldest brother ignore you?" He got up slowly, turned to the front of the library, and took out a wooden box from the lattice.

Wang Bolun's eyes suddenly lit up, but Fan Sanye didn't even raise his head, with a look of staying out of the matter.

Zhao Hongchuan placed the wooden box on the table and opened it, and inside was a thick stack of paper.

He glanced at Wang Bolun, and saw that his eyes were full of greed, and the corners of his lips twitched and smiled.

"I know that you have lost more than ten salt shops for nothing, this is my private six shops, there are cloth villages and restaurants, I originally wanted to retire in the future, hey, now my brother is in trouble, I can't sit idly by."

He gritted his teeth, pushed the wooden box in front of Wang Bolun, and said, "You can run it well." ”

Wang Bolun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, what are you doing!" How can I, Wang Bolun, ask you for pension money. ”

Zhao Hongchuan sighed deeply and said, "Take it, our brothers are good at doing things for the master, are you afraid that you won't be able to raise yourself in the future?" As long as you are good with the third child, I am good. ”

Wang Bolun said: "Big brother, thank you." ”

Zhao Hongchuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The wealth is light, haha, take it away." ”

Wang Bolun wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, pocketed the contract in the box, and was speechless.

Zhao Hongchuan continued: "This time I want to leave Fengyang Mansion and go to the capital to help the master, and I will see you again on July 7 next year." ”

"Big brother is going to Beijing?" Wang Bolun was pleasantly surprised and said, "It's been a long time since I went this time. ”

Zhao Hongchuan said: "I don't understand the things in the court, you don't have to ask me, I went to the capital, just to take care of the business of the capital for the master, I said, I am just a businessman." ”

Wang Bolun smiled, and regretted his behavior a little, if it wasn't for the one just now, he would have dared to ask Zhao Hongchuan to mention himself in front of his master, now, where would he dare to say?

This Zhao Hongchuan is really an old fox, what kind of pension shop is just to gag his mouth, thinking about it like this, Wang Bolun is even more depressed, but he doesn't dare to show it.

"Third child, things are not easy in Guangzhou Mansion, you have to take care of your master, don't be greedy for money and lustful, because of small losses."

Fan Sanye arched his hand and said, "I know, thank you for mentioning it." ”

Wang Bolun frowned secretly, what did he say, didn't he mean Sang scolding Huai?

He pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother thinks too much, the third child has never been close to women, if he is really close to women one day, we must send a big gift to congratulate him!" ”

Zhao Hongchuan smiled and pointed at Wang Bolun: "You, you, you are used to bullying honest people." ”

Fan Sanye scratched the back of his head, his face was red, and he seemed to be a little unable to sit still, and said, "Don't, don't ......"

Wang Bolun smiled: "Haha, you stunned! ”

Zhao Hongchuan lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Bolun and smiled.

When Wang Bolun left Daxing Rice Shop and returned to the palace, it was just as the moonlight was disappearing and the sun was rising.

Mrs. Wang sat in the room and stared at him all night, and when she saw Wang Bolun coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to undress him.

Wang Bolun glanced at her, threw a thick stack of contracts in his arms on the table, and said, "Put it away in a while." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Master, we already have a lot of shops. ”

Wang Bolun said: "Women, you should abide by your duty, and let you put it away." ”

"Yes."

In the Daxing rice shop, Fan Sanye and Zhao Hongchuan sat opposite each other.

Zhao Hongchuan said in a low voice: "You gave my token to the young gang leader of the Sanlian Gang?" ”

"Yes."

Fan Sanye just replied like this, but did not explain.

Zhao Hongchuan's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "You walk the rivers and lakes, you want to make friends, this is also to expand your contacts for the master, I didn't blame you, what are you bowing?" ”

Fan Sanye raised his eyes to look at him and said, "I should discuss with the eldest brother before doing it." ”
