Chapter 225: The Rogues

Fan Yongming said: "There are also shops in various places......

"You don't know what happened to the shop?" Fan Yongdou said: "I have been losing money in the past few months. ”

"I have less than 30,000 on hand." Fan Yongming said: "Recently, I have to prepare for the expenses of getting married. In addition, it is necessary to prepare for the township test this fall. ”

Fan Yongming is not yet twenty, he has already been admitted to Xiucai a few years ago, and he is talking about several family affairs recently, and he has to take the exam, which will indeed have a lot of expenses.

"Forget it, your family affairs and karma also matter." Fan Yongdou has been thinking about family affairs in his heart, he said: "I have a plan in my heart, and I will talk to you at night." ”

"Yes, big brother."

Fan Yongming lowered his head in response, Fan Yongdou nodded, and left in a hurry.

Looking at Fan Yongdou's back, Fan Yongming suddenly felt a chill.

……

The lady of the Fan family was offering incense in the temple of Emperor Guan, Fan Yongdou arrived in a hurry, and saw that his wife was worshipping sincerely, so he had to kneel down and offer incense to Emperor Guansheng.

There are a lot of temples everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, the Zhangjiakou Fort where the Fan family lives now is very large, and the people who come and go are almost all businessmen, worship the gods and Buddhas for peace is almost all businessmen, almost all of them will be related to the emperor temple in each city, there is a very large-scale Guandi temple in the middle of the urn city of Beijing City to the north and south streets of Zhengyangmen.

The scale of Zhangjiakou is not small, there are many people coming and going, Fan Yongdou is accompanied by more than a dozen strong men, everyone carries weapons, and after entering the temple, they are scattered and guarded, Fan's wife saw this situation, and hurriedly saluted the incense.

When she arrived outside the temple, she couldn't help complaining: "In this situation, you are worried about your safety wherever you go, and if you have any urgent matter, you come here to find me, so you can use a gun and a stick like this, be careful that the Holy Emperor is displeased." ”

Fan Yongdou had something to ask his wife, but it was not easy to refute it at the moment, and said with a smile: "The emperor is from a martial arts background, and he will not blame him." ”

He was also a little worried about his safety, after all, Zhang Han was not a good man and a woman, Fan Yongdou was even more afraid a while ago, and within a day or two, several shopkeepers who secretly cooperated with the Fan family and Yusheng suddenly disappeared, and then they never saw anyone again, and Yusheng just changed the shopkeeper, and then everything was calm, not even the people who were looking for them, and the family members of the shopkeepers did not hear about the trouble, as soon as this incident came out, Fan Yongdou immediately knew Zhang Han's ruthless side. This opponent seems to be young, and he usually acts in moderation, and he is not overbearing because he has a deep relationship, and he has always left a line in life, as evidenced by the Chamber of Commerce of Lingqiu and Tianchengwei, I didn't expect Zhang Han to use a spicy hand all of a sudden, solving a lot of hidden dangers.

Those people are missing, and some of the government has also symbolically checked them, but no one is alive, no body is dead, and the family members have not reported it, so of course no one pays attention to this matter anymore.

After that incident, Fan Yongdou raised his guard level, including his wife and children, and they had to take a large number of attachΓ©s with them when they went out, otherwise Fan Yongdou would not be at ease.

After a few months, Mrs. Fan was tired of it, and she was reluctant to bring bodyguards when she went out, only Fan Yongdou insisted on bringing a large number of people.

However, Zhang Han has not moved, which makes Fan Yongdou feel a little ashamed.

Thinking about it from another perspective, Fan Yongdou felt that if he had so many powerful subordinates, he might not be able to resist the temptation and not be afraid of people coming out to assassinate his opponent.

Fan's wife said: "Is there something urgent?" ”

"I have something to discuss with you." Fan Yongdou said: "The matter is a bit urgent. ”

The business war between the Fan family and Zhang Han has been the most eye-catching topic in Shanxi and Beizhili recently, Fan Yongdou and the lady are talking in the shade of the tree in front of the temple, and there are many people passing by, and many people are looking at this side.

Fan Yongdou also knows that it is powerful, and he tries to make a long story short.

The Fan family has done their best in this business war, and now there is a steady stream of goods sold to the northern grasslands, and a considerable part of them have been bought and hoarded by He Yusheng's ideas, so the goods on the grasslands are still insufficient, and the Tartars are still urging Fan Yongdou to continue to supply in large quantities.

This is where the biggest contradiction lies, the needs of supply and demand are no longer equal, Fan Yongdou wants to slow down, and because of Zhang Han's existence, he has lost control, which is equivalent to being coerced to continue.

Fan's wife's face turned pale when she heard this, and she said to Fan Yongdou: "We can't give up this trade route?" Don't fight like this, and still make money every year. ”

"As the saying goes, the old eagle flies everywhere," Fan Yongdou said: "Business is like this, you can't retreat when you make a decision, otherwise people's hearts will be towards others, business will become more and more difficult to do, and the road will become narrower and narrower." ”

Fan's wife knew that this was not the case, the Fan family was originally very wealthy, Fan Yongdou just wanted to go further and become a giant businessman who controlled greater power, her face was pale, she felt flustered for a while, and her body was uncomfortable for a while.

Fan Yongdou and his wife were very affectionate, seeing his wife swaying, her chin was also sharp, and her face was pale, he felt a little sad, stepped forward to support his wife, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely win." ”

"Does the husband want to use my body for himself?"

"Yes," Fan Yongdou said: "I know that you have tens of thousands of private money, and some dowry utensils, which are worth tens of thousands, adding up to hundreds of thousands. ”

"Husband, take it and use it."

"Oh, thank you, wait a while......"

"Husband doesn't need to say much." Fan's wife stopped Fan Yongdou's words and said softly: "What is mine is yours, as long as you are good, the Fan family is good, what are these bodies of mine." ”

"Alas, alas!"

Fan Yongdou was very moved, and he didn't care about the large number of people coming and going, so he held his wife's hands tightly.

……

Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang went to a small hill surrounded by their own soldiers. The terrain is dangerous, surrounded by dense forests, except for a small village at the foot of this shallow slope, in which a dozen or so families live, all of which are grass huts, most of which have been burned down.

In the middle of the village is a tiled house made of blue bricks, which is the ancestral hall of this village, which may be decayed due to population decline and local decay, but it is much more spacious and comfortable than the grass house.

As the two of them walked, the surrounding area was full of slain villagers, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Several village women were taken by groups of brothers to take turns humiliating them in dilapidated grass huts, and from time to time there were sounds of giggling laughter and women's cries and begging for mercy.

Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang's faces were indifferent, after the changes in the past few months, they were no longer the situation when they were in Liaodong, and they had seen too many scenes like this in front of them.

If Li Mingli and Yang Yi were here, they could still see from the eyes of these two people that they were uncomfortable and disgusted, but these two people hid this emotion very deeply, and only the closest brothers could see it.

A small leader guarding the checkpoint came over, his subordinates pressed a Qi knife without a scabbard, and there were several broken gaps in the knife, even so, the one who could wear the knife must be the leader, and this small leader was followed by more than 20 people, and the spear head was just cut out of the spear in his hand, and the spear head was made casually, the length of the spear was different, and the gun head was also of different shapes, which was really crude and powerful.

Zhou Daniu felt helpless, fortunately, the equipment of the border army was also very bad, not to mention the local armament, they were chased and killed for thousands of miles all the way, and they ran from Liaodong to Shanxi safely, which explains everything.

There are also elites in the team, and this little leader also came back from Liaodong, but his martial arts skills are not as good as Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang, and his status is not as good as them.

"Zhou Tou'er, Cheng Tou'er, you are here." The little leader smiled happily and said, "The big cabinet is waiting for you in the ancestral hall." ”

Zhou Daniu nodded kindly and said, "Let's go in." ”

Yu Shiqian and a group of men in border military robes were crowded in the ancestral hall, and a few guys were obviously pulled from the grass house, still talking about women at this time, while still lifting their pants.

Zhou Daniu came in and greeted the acquaintances in the chaotic crowd, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

There were thirty or forty people crowded into the ancestral hall, all dressed in the costumes of the border army.

Along the way, they robbed many villages, and many of the brothers had new clothes to wear, but none of them changed their robes, which were a symbol of their status and status.

Around this ancestral hall, in a radius of several miles, there are people stationed everywhere, and this group of people is already close to 3,000 people, if this number is reported to the imperial court, it will definitely cause the shock and anger of the center, and then the local governors and governors will urgently urge the garrisons in various places to hurry up and suppress. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's control over the place is really low and surprisingly low, still in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the famous "Xunyang thieves" rampant in several provinces, troubled the place for decades, and finally was not completely exterminated, but with divide and rule, Zhao Anjia pacification of various methods to calm down, the court also set up a special Xunyang governor, the garrison is very strong, the final result is still unsatisfactory.

Seeing Zhou Daniu and the two coming in, Yu Shiqian pointed to a bench in front of him and said, "Sit down." ”

Yu Shiqian has been in the border army for a long time, he is very smart, and with the help of Zhou Daniu and others, he has gradually become a commander.

"We don't have much grain in stock, only a few dozen stones, 3,000 people and 200 horses, people eat horses and chew, and we can't afford to delay here." Yu Shiqian continued what he had just said, and said to everyone: "To the south or to the north, or to the west, Brother Da Niu and Cheng Fang, you two also talk about it." ”

The core of Yu Shiqian's troops and horses is the original border army, each of them has become a big and small leader, according to their respective performance and military exploits, how many different men and horses, Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang, and a few Ming troops who escaped from Liaodong formed a small gang, and their subordinates also have hundreds of people, which is a force to be reckoned with among Yu Shiqian's subordinates, but Zhou Daniu understands in his heart that Yu Shiqian's gang is either from Shanxi or from Shaanxi, they either agree to go north to Datong, and they will also want to go to Shaanxi or even Gansu, Nobody wants to go east-
