Today's warm water is not what it used to be. Su Ren's trade route was only opened up to Wuyang, although he didn't go far, all kinds of goods were crazy to concentrate on Laojunguan. At the beginning, it was just the people near Laojunguan, and the buildings near the water got the moon first. Cui Jiuming couldn't do a full range of special goods, so they saw the opportunity and signed an agreement with Lao Junguan to join or start their own production.

Table and chair workshops, roasted tea workshops, salt workshops, and jerky workshops all popped up one by one. The population is not enough, and it is recruited from the city. Laojunguan is now fragrant, and the economic center of warm water has been transferred to Laojunguan in an instant.

Immediately after, the whole Kawanaka also began to get busy. Cui Jiuming's station in Laojunguan is overcrowded every day, in order to get a little supply share from here, and businessmen from all over the country come to the door with goods. Now, Cui Jiuming is reluctant to transport goods, and he only earns the difference from the middle, which is already more than he was busy and tired at the beginning.

With the rise of Laojunguan, the county seat of Wenshui has declined. A large number of population transfers have made the streets of the county deserted all day, and even wild dogs cannot be seen.

Brother with bad breath dozed off in the porter. The Liu family no longer has the glory it had at the beginning, if someone comes to say a few words to Brother Bad Breath, Brother Bad Breath can be happy for a long time.

"Smack!" was whipped on the head, and the bad breath brother sighed, opened his mouth and scolded: "That turtle ......" Seeing that it was Hou Jian, the remaining half of the sentence was swallowed into his stomach.

"Is Liu Xiancheng here? Go tell him and say I'm coming! ”

Brother Bad Breath hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran inside. Hou Jian took a deep breath and looked left and right, looking at the deserted street from one end to the other. Only then did he step into the gate of the Liu family.

Liu Wenzheng was angry in the house, and the sounds of scolding and beating people could be heard clearly in the yard. After the bad breath brother entered, seven or eight family servants trotted out of it.

Liu Wen personally greeted him: "Brother Hou is so free today, he actually came to me?" Why don't you pour the water quickly? ”

"Just some tea!"

Nowadays, drinking tea has become the most popular social rule of warm water, and it is said that many businessmen in Chengdu have also started drinking tea at parties.

Liu Wen's face was displeased: "I don't have tea here!" I want to drink tea and go to Laojunguan! ”

Hou Jian shook his head helplessly: "Okay, don't drink it!" I just drank in Lao Junguan and said things, is my father-in-law here? ”

"You just came back from Laojunguan?" Liu Wen was stunned: "In, please inside!" ”

Liu Tang sat cross-legged on the couch, he didn't like this thing. Since the last time I sat on the Taishi chair at Hou Jian's house, I felt that it was still comfortable to sit on, my legs were not numb, and my waist was not painful. It's a pity that the Liu family can't pull down their faces to buy a set, so they can only settle for it.

The old man was still so energetic, reading a book while pondering the game of Go. Hou Jian entered the door to give a salute: "Hou Jian greets his father-in-law!" ”

Liu Tang smiled: "You're here, get up, sit!" Why did you come back so early when you went to Laojunguan today? But what did you find out? ”

Hou Jian nodded: "I heard some about the content of Su Ren's letter to Tian Wei, which really involved the thirteen-year Seven Kings Rebellion, this Su Ren was able to guess the whole thing from the clues, I couldn't believe it at that time." ”

"Hey! This matter is the most confusing thing that your father and I have ever done back then, now think about it, although the seven kings are powerful, but they have their own thoughts, it is a plate of scattered sand, how can it be the opponent of the court, although the precipice is reined in, it is still a little late, and the previous generation of Huainan King Liu Chang has something to do with it, and then Liu Chang was defeated, and he did some remedies before he entered Sichuan, but it was too late, and he left some handles. ”

"The Empress Dowager is angry this time, I'm afraid she also knows something, this time our Liu family is more auspicious!" Liu Tang was a little tired, and his whole body was out of energy.

"The court has no evidence, and Su Ren can't produce evidence, so what can they do to us?" Liu Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Even if they want to move us, will we just sit back and wait for death?" ”

"What the Seven Kings can't do, do you think we have hope?" Hou Jian glanced at Liu Wen with disdain.

"Even if there is no hope, self-preservation should always be possible, right? It's a big deal, let's go to Yelang, and we can rebuild the Dian Kingdom over there! ”

Liu Tang shook his head: "Maybe it was possible at the beginning, but I'm afraid it won't work now!" Su Ren went to Wuyang for two months, and then sent Liu An's son Liu Hong back, now Wuyang has become Su Ren's world, the news sent by our people, Su Ren is training the garrison for the city lord of Wuyang, just to deal with us! He saw our back road early on, this son is counted in front of us everywhere, when you asked you to make friends with him, you just refused, or Hou Jian mediated from it, otherwise we would be completely passive. ”

"Father-in-law, it's useless to talk about these now, let's think about how to resolve the current crisis, and when the Daxing Order arrives at the warm water, we will only have to lead the neck and kill!"

"What can you do?"

Hou Jian glanced at Liu Wen and stopped talking.

"Say, it's been such a time, it doesn't matter what happens."

"I heard that the head of Chongxu Dao is back, so it's better to ......"

"This old thing dares to come back! Father, I'm going to take someone to catch the old thing and bury my son! ”

"Enough! No brains at all! Liu Tang knocked the ground heavily with his cane: "I know your personal vendetta, I think that if I die, this family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!" I'm not dead yet! After listening to Hou Jian's words, the first task now is to live, and then to take revenge, do you understand? ”

Liu Wen was scolded, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again. Hou Jian continued: "I mean to find that Chongxu Dao Chief, this person has received our favor before, and he has been somewhat affectionate for so many years, not to mention that Brother Liu's child was treated to death by him, and we don't have a good view of him and Lao Jun, as long as he can persuade Su Ren, even if it doesn't play a big role, there are still small effects." ”

"No! Never! As soon as he heard that he was going to exchange his youngest son's life, Liu Wen broke out again. In order to regain the Dian Kingdom, the Liu family lost seven or eight of their sons and nephews, and Liu Wen married seven or eight concubines to give birth to such a son. has always looked more expensive than eyeballs, not Liu Wen's generosity, but in fact, he ran too fast on the old road. Since he has come back this time, how can he not take revenge on this revenge. Without this son, the Liu family cut off the incense.

Liu Tang didn't want to leave this matter like this: "Is there no other way?" This old way harmed our Liu family and cut off the incense, this hatred is not shared! ”

"It's a pity that Shi Manzhu, that traitor, was easily bought by others, otherwise it would be clean to kill Su Ren!" Liu Wen gritted his teeth.

Hou Jian shook his head: "This Su Ren is not a good talker, and he is calm in trouble, don't look at talking and laughing all day long, there is no ambiguity in getting down to business, besides that, I really can't think of any good way, so I can only resign myself to fate." ”

"Father, it's time for people to kill us, but we still want to reconcile with others, and it's too much for them to underestimate!" Liu Wen's face turned pale, and he smashed his fist on the case: "Fight with them!" ”

Liu Tang sighed: "For today's plan, it seems that it is impossible to outwit, only the enemy." ”

Hou Jian didn't speak, lowered his head and listened to the two fathers and sons, and they began to arrange.

The warm water is still the same as before, but it's a little busier. Being able to eat and clothe is the life that most people pursue, and their requirements are not high.

The head of the public Zhang Hu has gained a lot of weight, and he hasn't been to the city for a long time. Chang Shi is an official who can collect money, and when he saw that Lao Junguan's business was booming, he immediately sent Zhang Hu to Lao Junguan to collect the taxes of those merchants. I don't overcharge every time, I come and go for three or five dollars, but I can't stand the crowd. A rough estimate shows that there are four or five thousand dollars in income every month.

Zhang Hu also has a business mind, he doesn't take much, and takes one percent from it. Divide half of it among its subordinates, and the rest for its own members. Build a pergola on the side of the road below the Laojun Temple, the rain can't be drenched, the wind can't blow, and it is easy to send two or three hundred yuan to the family every month, such a good life has never passed.

Humming a small tune, holding wine in one hand and braised meat from Zhang's braised meat shop in the other, humming a little song and walking home. As soon as he turned the corner, a guy crashed into Zhang Hu's arms in the face of a gust of wind. The wine was also spilled, the meat was also dropped, and he covered his chest that was hurt by the collision, and scolded: "Turtle son, that one doesn't have long eyes, grandpa hasn't caught anyone in the past two days, and his skin is itchy, right?" ”

Brother with bad breath lay on the ground and screamed. Seeing Zhang Hu was like seeing a life-saving Bodhisattva: "Zhang Tou, quickly, take me to see Mr. Su, something is going to happen!" ”

"It turned out that you guy, don't follow Liu Wen, what are you doing with Mr. Su?" Zhang Hu hehehe: "Is it that Liu Wen is almost finished, and he wants to hug Mr. Su's thighs again?" I advise you to forget it, I don't want to go to anyone's house, it's up to you? ”

Brother Bad Breath slowly got up from the ground: "I can't tell you, let me pass!" ”

"What's so hard to tell? If you say it, I'll let you go, if you don't say it, I'll pay me for my wine and braised pork, these are all good things, worth ten dollars! ”

"Oops! Liu Wen wants to deal with Mr. Su! If it's too late, something big will happen! ”

"What? Liu Wen wants to deal with Mr. Su? Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, and pulled the bad breath brother over: "What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!" ”

Hou Jian was anxious to see Liu Wen, and his bad breath brother had more eyes. As a standard dogleg, the head of the family knows more or less about things in the house. Liu Wen and the others discussed things in the house, and the bad breath brother hid under the wall and listened clearly.

Su Ren is amazing, brother with bad breath has seen it, when he went to Shuangzui Mountain to ask Wu Bald for help, he could kill Su Ren when he saw it, who would have thought that Su Ren would almost move his head as soon as he said two words. It's good now, the entire Shuangzui Mountain has become Su Ren's.

People who look at the eyes and eat mixed rice have a more sensitive sense of smell, and they know very well which side they should stand on at this juncture. Brother Bad Breath did not hesitate to choose to betray Liu Wen in exchange for his own life.

Without waiting for the bad breath brother to finish speaking, Zhang Hu was taken aback, and pulled the bad breath brother and ran out of the city: "Don't say it earlier, I almost missed a big event, follow me, I have a horse!" ”
