Chapter 569: Incense Bait (II)
Zhang Yaoling's attitude towards his nephew was much better than Zhang Zongdao's, coupled with Zhang Siduan's confident attitude, most of the worries in his heart were reduced, and his heart calmed down, and he asked, "What?" That kid finally couldn't hold it anymore and showed his fox tail? Did you write a letter? Or is there something agreed? ”
Zhang Siduan smiled, "Uncle was also a figure in the horse when he was a teenager, and the things in this are very clear. As two people, how dare they leave words? If there really was a letter note, the little nephew would think that there was some trap in it. It's just that in the past few days, although Fan Jin has been busy doing those things, his words have never stopped. ”
"You mean that Mei Yu pairing?"
"That's right. Everything he wants to say is in the script, so that even if someone finds something, he can't grasp it. And for women, they regard the words in his script as private words written to themselves, and this is his means. The younger sister of the master married a scholar, and the two smuggled into Wushan before they got married, and the meaning of this is self-evident. In addition, in the last two days, the scholar managed to sneak into the women's mansion, and the two secretly communicated with each other. ”
Zhang Yaoling snorted coldly, "If he dares to do this, he will really be bold!" ”
"He's not going to be so obvious, but we can push him. I'll take that little slut to the countryside tomorrow to find Fan Jin and talk about this material. ”
"Huh? Talking openly? ”
"When talking about business, it is naturally good to be above board. The little nephew got a message from his uncle's house. Miss Zhang is scattered, and she rewards a lot of maids and servants of the Wang family, and she also sends some precious jewelry to the relatives of the Wang family. Even if it is my uncle's family and others, when it comes to Miss Zhang, they all say that she is worthy of being a daughter, and she can't afford to raise her without a daughter. ”
"That's how women are, when they're in a bad mood, they have to spend money. Besides, the Zhang family is richer than the prince, she grew up in such a family, and it is normal to develop that kind of young lady's style, what's so strange about this? ”
"In the Zhang family, everything is naturally stopped, and now she is the daughter-in-law of the Fan family after all, no matter how brazen Fan Jin is, he will not reach out to his daughter-in-law's family to support his own wife. And his little money can't even support Miss Zhang's daily expenses. So the little nephew bet that he needed money very badly. ”
"So what?"
"Because he needs money, he won't just put this batch of grain on the market. If there is really an intention in this regard, he must have begun to build momentum, from dealing with the acting king to re-clearing the fields and acres this time, Fan Jin's approach is to do nothing, and create public opinion first. Sometimes, there are no cards in his hand, but he deliberately screams the mountain ring, just to scare the opponent so that others can't guess his bottom line. But now he obviously has a good card in his hand, but he is silent, which is not his style. The only explanation is one: he doesn't want to make a fuss to everyone at all, so as not to be unable to get off the stage. ”
Zhang Yaoling's face became more and more beautiful. Regardless of his modus operandi, he still likes to think of himself as a businessman when it comes to self-positioning. When I meet someone I can negotiate with, I always rejoice in my heart. He nodded, "If that's the case, things will be easy." As long as he is willing to ask for money, we can deal with it, but we don't have to get out of control as we originally thought. ”
Zhang Siduan shook his head and said, "The little nephew thinks that no matter how Fan Jin chooses, our path should not change." It should even be done more desperately, and he can't be allowed to leave Shanxi alive, and the same is true for the slut. ”
"Why is that? If he had been willing to take the money, things could have been done satisfactorily, and this would not have happened. ”
"Because after the little nephew saw Fan Jin's methods to deal with the Dai Wangfu, he felt that this person must not stay in the world. Otherwise, one day when he stands across from our house, we may not even be able to take a single move and a half from him. Just like this time when dealing with the Dai Wangfu, the scene of inciting those mud legs to surround the palace, the little nephew now feels a chill down his spine when he thinks about it. Shang Fang's sword is nothing more than a piece of stubborn iron, but these mud legs are enough to burn the world. If he lights this fire in the future, none of us will have a good life, and everyone will be able to live in peace except for him sooner. That little slut had been with him for too long, and it wasn't reassuring. ”
"This ......" Zhang Yaoling twisted his beard and was silent, although he was of great age, but in Datong, the final person was Zhang Siduan and not him. He pondered for a long time: "Fan Jin is not comparable to ordinary people, and killing him is only afraid that it will be a big event." At that time, Zhang Juzheng is only afraid that he will be desperate and will give his son-in-law a head, and our life will be sad. ”
"So we can't kill with our hands, we still have to borrow knives. Fortunately, Fan Jin was in front of him to deal with the Dai Wangfu, and we already had a shield. Even the murderous knife, Zhu Naixuan is afraid that it has been sharpened for us, and what we have to do is to push him under the knife. In the future, even if Zhang Juzheng comes in person, I guarantee that we will not be blamed. ”
Seeing that Zhang Siduan already had a comprehensive plan, Zhang Yaoling didn't do much persuasion, but repeatedly advised: "This matter is not trivial, remember to be cautious, in case someone is caught, even your eldest brother, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”
"Uncle rest assured, this little nephew has already thought it through. I promise that until the moment Fan Jin's head hits the ground, he will still regard our family as his best friend and most loyal ally. ”
Seeing the way his uncle told him earnestly, Zhang Siduan felt funny. Under the stability, what is hidden is actually cowardice. The comment on Yuan Shao in the very popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms suddenly appeared in his mind: phoenix feathers, chicken gall, tiger skin, sheep quality. His uncle, or most of the family, is actually like this. On the surface, it seems to be powerful, but in fact, it will only be reduced by ten wills, leaving the help of the family, or encountering opponents between wealthy and powerful, there is no good way. It is expected that they will not be able to keep the family business, so they can only rely on themselves to take care of the family here and stabilize the rear for the eldest brother.
He thought in his heart, and walked out of the door, an old servant had already walked quickly, and he ordered: "Go and prepare the car, let someone call Miss, let's go to the countryside to visit Master Fan." I miss it for a few days, so I have to see each other. Besides, he is a stranger who is not familiar with the land, how can he get such a thing as clearing the land without the help of the locals? We're going to have to help him. ”
The two carriages of the Zhang brothers and sisters, as well as the accompanying guards, also had dozens of people, and when they arrived in the countryside, the sun was almost setting, and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers could be heard in the distance, as if they were celebrating a festival. At a time when the border is not at peace, this kind of behavior is even more reckless. It is important to know that the activities of Tumut's rangers have become more and more rampant recently, and once they cross the border wall, Datong is easily affected by the front of the army, and they celebrate in such a place...... Still lacking experience, Zhang Siduan thought.
I walked a little further, but I found that I couldn't walk, there were more and more people, the road had been blocked, and the family went to report the news, and it was also very difficult to walk. The name of the Zhang family is of limited use on this occasion, and most people do not know the prestige of the Zhang family, and it is not easy to open the way. finally squeezed through, and the road closed again, which made Zhang Siduan a little worried, what to do when people came back.
After about a meal, I suddenly heard the crowd boiling, and someone shouted: "Fan Qingtian! It's Fan Qingtian! Get out of the way, everybody! Don't get in the way of Fan Qingtian! ”
Zhang Siduan heard the noise, and couldn't help but lift the curtain to look out, but saw that under the sunset, the crowd dispersed little by little, until a spacious passage was made, and at the end of the passageway, Fan Jin walked side by side with a young and beautiful woman Walking here, as he walked forward, the road behind him closed a little bit, but Zhang Siduan inexplicably thought of another scene in the Three Kingdoms: Guan Yunchang flew and stabbed Yan Liang, and the Hebei army was divided and cracked, most of which is like this.
The people came to salute the approach, and the carriage began to move forward, and with Fan Jin opening the way, the crowd became very cooperative this time, and the carriage was able to pass. The woman who came with Fan Jin was Mei Ruyu, she got into Miss Zhang's car, and Fan Jin got into Zhang Siduan's carriage.
Zhang was sitting in the car, accompanied by a maid beside him, and when he saw Mei Ruyu coming in, Zhang sniffled, and suddenly asked, "Are you injured?" ”
Mei Ruyu nodded and said, "Miss Lao asked, it doesn't matter if she was slightly injured." Thanks to the old man who lent me his talisman armor, otherwise I am afraid that the injury will be more serious. A group of Tartar rangers came over the border wall and plagued a village. The eldest lord and his own soldiers chased after him to kill and kill all the rangers. I took a hit when I fought them. ”
When she said this, her face was not afraid, but there was a sense of pride and excitement. The experience of being born and dying with Fan Jin, just like the imperial view in the official's resume, is enough to boast and appear different. A woman who can fight on the street and grab a piece of land for herself is afraid of being hurt.
"Fighting the Tartars?"
On the other carriage, Zhang Siduan was also a little surprised when he heard Fan Jin's words, and immediately began to blame. "It's nonsense! Who are you? Killing the enemy with a sword and handing over the white blade is also what you should do? If my brother knows about this, I will have to write a letter and scold you. ”
"That's why I want my uncle to cover it up a lot and don't tell my teacher." Fan Jin said with a smile: "It's really those Tartars who deceive people too much, they actually ran to the vicinity of Datong to rob, more than a dozen people were killed in the village, and a few women hanged themselves, don't give them a lesson, it's really no one in Datong." Besides, these rangers are actually limited in number, otherwise they would not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the border army. There are only forty people in total, and there are hundreds of guards around the little nephew, and they are protected by shotguns, so it is not difficult to deal with them. ”
"Even you went to kill yourself, and it's not difficult? This is not allowed in the future. You are a scholar, and you use a pen to kill people, not a knife! Zhang Siduan glanced at him, and then pointed outside: "Who are these people?" ”
"Some of the people in the nearby countryside are the children of military families in the city, and when they heard about it, they brought weapons to serve as guards. Those children of military families have some martial arts, and most of the rest are countrymen who have not practiced. It didn't make much use when I met the Tartars, but because I was grateful for my kindness in addition to their opponents, I had to rush over even if I was sent to death. If it weren't for the little nephew's hand cutting Tartar, they might not have come so enthusiastically. In this way, it is actually worth it. Besides, the little nephew killed those two Tartars, they were both cut to half death, and I just went to mend the knife, and there was no danger at all, just to make a show. ”
"......I see," Zhang Siduan nodded, but there was a chill behind him. Has the people's hearts reached this point? Even the people, who were as tame as sheep, were willing to die for him, this man...... Absolutely can't stay!
His heart turned to killing intent, but his face was full of concern, asking if Fan Jin was injured, and then asked about the casualties. While he was talking, the man was already outside the door of his residence. I saw that several rows of pots and stoves had been erected, and in addition to grain, there were also some pigs and sheep limbs floating up and down with the boiling water.
"Actually, some people proposed to eat those tartars as well, but I told them that eating the dead is easy to get sick, so they gave up. Although the meat is nervous, it can still be obtained, and it is not guilty of cannibalism like a wild beast. Fan Jin smiled, saying that eating people is like eating chickens and ducks, just considering the cost to see if it is worth it.
Sitting down with each other, Zhang Siduan said: "My little sister can't stay at home, I brought her to relax, I didn't expect to encounter this incident, I think I still have to take her back." ”
"You don't have to rush it now." Speaking of Zhang's, a glimmer of light flashed in Fan Jin's eyes, although the hatred was short-lived, he was still captured by Zhang Siduan. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Finally, if you still have weaknesses, this can be dealt with. Otherwise, if you are desperate to deal with the aftermath, you will have to find someone here to kill you or poison you with a single blow, instead of waiting for the Mongols.
"With so many people in the moment, at least there is no problem with safety. Besides, Datong City will definitely be able to get the news, and in half a day, there will be a Fubiao battalion rushing over, and with the protection of the standard battalion, they will not be afraid of ranger attacks. ”
So my uncle was relieved. Now take her back, the little girl must be unhappy, I won't touch his moldy head. ”
The two chatted a few words, and the topic fell to the grain. As Fan Jin excavated and scavenged, more and more materials were discovered, just like digging a rat hole in the winter food shortage, and the harvest became bigger and bigger. No matter how secluded the location of those secret warehouses is, people are always needed to deliver supplies. These people who undertake the task of transportation are the best guides. Under their guidance, these warehouses were cracked one by one, and Fan Jin had more than 120,000 stone of grain in his hands, even if he counted the few days of entertaining these people, he had more than 100,000 stone of grain to use to interfere with the grain market.
Fan Jin said: "This grain deal, the little nephew hasn't thought about it yet. Naturally, the border army wanted to sell them at a low price, but it was too troublesome to go through the accounts, and I haven't come up with a suitable account transaction until now; Otherwise, it is sold to merchants, but it is also a problem for local grain merchants and foreign grain merchants to sell to...... In short, the world is not good, business is difficult to do, you have to find a reliable person, in order to work together. ”
Zhang Siduan nodded in agreement, and did not make a specific statement. Fan Jin was a little excited because he killed people with his own hands during the day, and he drank a few more drinks at night, and it was already the second watch when he dispersed. Zhang Siduan looked a little overwhelmed, and was supported by the servant back to the bedroom. But as soon as the person entered the door, his eyes immediately became clear, and he was no longer drunk. After sitting down, he first drank a few sips of strong tea, and then ordered his two henchmen to check on the situation.
After about half a minute, a servant pushed the door and entered, and said in a low voice: "A dark shadow went to touch the lady's residence, and the figure was Fan Jin, should we ......?"
"Don't be in a hurry at this time, now the general trend is in his hands, and if we can't catch any of them, we will be in trouble ourselves. Nuan Xue is our person, just wait for her to send a signal. Zhang Siduan instructed the servant, and he took an abacus, pulled the abacus beads at will, and muttered in his mouth: "The ancestors of the Zhang family bless, this time to stop this devil." ”
