Others may not know Sun Yueling's past, but Yan Nantian knows his thoughts, and seeing that his expression is different, he said, "Master? ”

Sun Yueling came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "The princess has finally found a good home, Liu Youfu is an upright courtier, and the two of them will definitely die happily." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A few days ago, Yan Nantian told him about it, and Zhu Huiyan, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, was forced to marry Wei Liangqing by Wei Zhongxian and the Ke family, but Zhu Huiyan has always refused to agree, either looking for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to be coquettish or asking the queen Zhang Yan to stand up for her, and finally under her various entanglements, the matter has been delayed until now.

Maybe she couldn't drag it out any longer, Zhu Huiyan could only choose one person to marry in the Manchu Dynasty, and the person she chose was Liu Youfu, a minister with an extraordinary appearance who had experienced disasters with her many times. The eldest princess finally has a horse, this is a great thing, the emperor of the apocalypse specially gave a mansion, and instructed the wedding to be lively and grand.

Now that Sun Yueling is passing by the horse mansion, why is there no emotion in his heart?

Congratulations, Zhu Huiyan finally got rid of Wei Liangqing's entanglement and found a wishful husband who can be entrusted for life. At the beginning, he Sun Yueling rejected the princess's hospitality for the great cause of Donglin, and now he sees the princess marrying the knot, and a big stone in his heart finally lands.

It's just that, it seems that deep down, there is still a trace of imperceptible strange feelings breeding and spreading, which makes him happy and sorrowful.

Sun Yueling let out a breath of turbidity and sighed: "Liu Youfu has become a concubine, I'm afraid that there will be no leisure to help us, so I think it's better to bother him less in the future." "According to the rules of the Ming court, once the officials of the court and the central government become the royal family, they cannot participate in political affairs, and can only be an idle nobleman, so Sun Yueling said this to Yan Nantian, he is actually doing this for the good of Liu Youfu and the princess, so as not to let them get involved in the battle of the court.

Yan Nantian nodded and said, "That's what the master said." ”

Sun Yueling suddenly laughed again and said: "Since the princess is married, there is no reason for my Sun Yueling not to congratulate him, but it is not appropriate for me to disclose my identity now, so I have to ask someone to send this gift." ”

Yan Nantian said: "Let your subordinates handle this matter, and they must order someone to send a generous gift, so that they can know the blessing of the master to them." ”

Sun Yueling shook his head and said: "You are not a rich man either, our silver reserves in the capital division have already spent a lot in Liu Duo's case, where can we get so much spare money?" Aren't you and I going to find Wu Chengde right now, this guy is a rich man, and this money deserves to be on him. ”

"This ......" Yan Nantian was speechless, slandering you in her heart to congratulate the princess on her wedding, but let others pay for you, is this really good?

Sun Yueling seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said: "Don't worry, I won't let Wu Chengde suffer in vain, before I came to Jingshi, I had already instructed Han Wanshui an important matter, but I am afraid that it will not be long before he will reply to me, and this matter can bring huge benefits to Wu Chengde." ”

When Yan Nantian wanted to ask what was the matter, Sun Yueling suddenly pointed out the window and said, "It's here." ”

Yan Nantian raised his eyes and saw that this was the Xinjiekou of Beicheng, and the famous Jishui Pond of the Beijing Division was nearby, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Is the thirty-six secret mansion here, they will pick a place." ”

The two got out of the carriage, and soon found the secret house of the 36th Road in the small Tongjing Hutong near the Jishui Lake, Sun Yueling knocked on the door with the special technique taught by Wu Chengde, and the brothers in the 36th Road opened the door, learned of their intention, and hurriedly led them to see Wu Chengde.

In the backyard, when Wu Chengde saw them, he instead said, "Brother Sun, you came just in time, and I have something important to inform you." ”

Sun Yueling was surprised: "You also have something to look for me?" ”

Wu Chengde looked solemn and said, "This matter is not trivial, it is estimated that you have to deal with it carefully." ”

Sun Yueling and Yan Nantian glanced at each other, this time they planned to come to have a few drinks with Wu Chengde and relax and relax, but unexpectedly, something happened again.

Yan Nantian's mind turned quickly, and said: "Since everyone has something to say, why don't you pick a secluded place, prepare some wine and food, and how about everyone chatting while eating?" ”

Wu Chengde said: "I'm very secluded here, and ordinary people can't find it at all." ”

"Uh......" Sun Yueling was speechless.

Yan Nantian looked at Wu Chengde and said with a heavy face: "Brother De, in fact, you don't know, the master is in a bad mood today. ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly picked up the stubble and sighed: "As soon as I'm in a bad mood, I want to have a good drink!" ”

Yan Nantian: "When he wants to drink, the first thing he thinks of is you." ”

Sun Yueling nodded heavily.

Wu Chengde looked suspicious, looked at Sun Yueling, then at Yan Nantian, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Yan Nantian stared at him and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"Damn, don't you just want to drink, I'll just please!" Wu Chengde finally opened his mind, waved his hand, and said, "You come with me." Then he walked outside.

The two hurriedly followed.

The three of them went out and walked along the alley for a while, turning to a street next to Jishuitan, Wu Chengde pointed forward and said, "There is a blue and white restaurant in front, let's go there to eat and chat." ”

Sun Yueling stretched out his thumb and said, "Brother De is mighty." ”

At this time, the streets were gradually deserted, there were fewer pedestrians, and the place was relatively remote, so the three of them did not worry about being found at all.

This Jishuitan area is very prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty, the Tonghui River section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal goes directly here, the Jishuitan Wharf is a gathering of business travelers, after the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Imperial City encircles the canal, the waterway between the Tonghui River and the Jishuitan is cut off, the Jishuitan loses contact with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the grain goods transported from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are transported to Beijing by land from Tongzhou, so the Jishuitan area gradually deserted, only becomes the place where the tourists are in the wind and the moon.

The blue and white wine shop is said to be a wine shop, but in fact, it is a little better than a roadside stall. The three of them sat down around a wooden table, asked for some food and drink, and ate and drank slowly. At the other tables, there were also some literati and drunkards, eating and drinking, and talking about some country anecdotes.

Sun Yueling hadn't come to this kind of place to eat and drink for a long time, and at this moment, sitting in this not very particular wine shop, the whole person seemed to be relaxed, and all the shackles and troubles in the world seemed to be gone with the wind, and he picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, let's have a drink first." ”

The three of them raised their glasses and drank together, Wu Chengde couldn't bear it after all, put down the wine glass and said, "Brother Sun, I have something very important to tell you......

Sun Yueling interrupted him and said: "How can there be so many important things, today we are just drinking, and if we are not drunk, we will not return......

Wu Chengde said with a smile: "I love to hear this, Brother Sun is really the same as before." ”

Sun Yueling said: "That's, how dare I stand in front of you Wu Xiaode, oh no, Wu Chengde." ”

Wu Chengde glared and said, "Damn, you still call Lao Tzu's old name!" ”

Sun Yueling laughed, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "I heard that you are doing business with Shanxi Wangjiabao now?" ”

Wu Chengde nodded and said: "Yes, the main business scope of our 36 Dao is still in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and in recent years, we have expanded our influence to Beizhili, the Central Plains, and Jiangnan. ”

Sun Yueling had long known this, and said: "As far as I know, there are eight merchants in Shanxi led by Wangjiabao, among which Wang Dengku of the Wang family and Fan Yongdou of the Fan family are the leaders, and these eight traders are not only doing business with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, but also have trade contacts with many tribes in Mongolia. ”

Wu Chengde looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Sun is right, I didn't expect that even you know these things." ”

Sun Yueling smiled faintly, how could he not know about such a thing, he didn't know the situation before, but now he understands it clearly. This Wangjiabao is very likely to be one of the eight great merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, the eight major merchants of Shanxi secretly provided various intelligence information within the Ming Dynasty for the Later Jin Dynasty when the struggle between the two countries was the most intense, and also smuggled various military supplies and food for them, so that the Qing court repeatedly survived the famine and lack of materials The critical moment, and later these eight merchants were personally received by Fulin in Bauhinia City, and named them the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Dynasty.

It's just that now they only have this sign, and they don't dare to deal with the Houjin magnates openly and openly. What Sun Yueling was thinking about was how to extinguish this sprout and strangle it in the cradle, so he said: "Do you have a lot of influence in Shanxi? ”

"Do you need to ask?" Wu Chengde raised his head and said, "In Shanxi, in addition to the Wangjiabao of the four major Shang clans, we have the most right to speak in the thirty-six Dao. ”

"That's good!" Sun Yueling stared at him tightly and said, "If I want you to take the Thirty-six Dao to replace Wangjiabao, can you do it?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Chengde was taken aback, looked at him stunned and said, "You...... You're not kidding, are you? ”

"I'm not kidding!" Sun Yueling looked anxious, and said in a low voice, "Wangjiabao has dealings with the Mongolian tribes today, and tomorrow will have dealings with the Houjin magnates, and when the war between the Ming and Houjin countries is deadlocked, they will provide a steady stream of financial resources and materials for the Houjin." ”

Wu Chengde was at a loss when he heard this, and muttered, "Really? Even Yan Nantian frowned at this moment, half-believing what Sun Yueling said.

Sun Yueling already knew that Wu Chengde was unbelievable, let alone Wu Chengde, I was afraid that no one would believe it if he said this, so he said: "I know this is a bit sensational, but this will be the case in the future." That's why I didn't say that Wangjiabao would be completely wiped out, but let you replace them and suppress them through business means. This is a big deal, I believe you, I told you about it, do you believe me now? ”

Wu Chengde didn't look like he was joking, and sighed: "Of course I believe you." However, if we want to suppress Wangjiabao, how can it be so easy, I have no confidence at all. ”

Sun Yueling's eyes showed a strong look, and he said: "If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future." If I can return to the imperial court, I will definitely recommend myself to serve in Shanxi, and then we can completely destroy Wangjiabao and other businesses through political, economic, and even military means, so that you will become the first business name in Shanxi. ”

Wu Chengde frowned, but still said: "Brother Sun, since you say this, you must have your reason, if there is really such a day, I, Wu Chengde, am willing to do what you say!" ”
