Su Ren's voice is a little better, at least he can tease Dong Qian. Sitting on a recliner, drinking good tea, watching Dong Qian practice swords in the courtyard. Compared with the cold swordsmanship, Dong Qian's swordsmanship is more like a dance. It is said that the first dancer of the Tang Palace, Gongsun Auntie, is good at dancing swords, the dance posture shocks the world, when the performance is performed, the audience is like a mountain, and even the painting saint Wu Daozi has experienced the use of the pen by watching the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie.

Looking at Dong Qian's movements, Su Ren shook his head and kept opening his mouth to comment: "Not bad, eh!" The arm is not straightened! Leg kick high! This place should be turned back! ……”

As soon as he said three words, he felt a pain in his chest, and a small piece of gravel hit Su Ren's chest impartially. The grinning wail for a while caused Leng Yue to say a few words of comfort. While drinking tea, he "instructed" Dong Qian to practice swords.

Huang Shisan sat on the threshold of the small courtyard and dozed off, this place happened to be shaded by the shade of the trees, and it was lukewarm and the most suitable place to sleep. He has always been about things in the yard, listening to what should be heard, and not hearing a word that should not be heard. For example, Su Ren's wail and Leng Yue's comfort just now, Huang Shisan didn't hear a word.

"Lao Huang, go see if Cui Jiuming is here!"

"Whoa!"

Su Ren's voice was not loud, and his voice was still hoarse, but Huang Shisan heard it clearly and did not miss a word.

Cui Jiuming had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, just because this was the Su family's back house, it was inconvenient for him to break in casually. was talking to Huo Laosi and Sima Xiangru when he heard Su Ren shouting, so he followed Huang Shisan into the courtyard together. The yard is very clean, there are some flowers and plants planted around, a square table, a reclining chair, and one person is Su Ren.

Cui Jiuming smiled: "Mr. Su is doing well, the sword dance is in front, the beauty is on the side, and the fragrant tea is in hand, it is really the most beautiful thing in the world." ”

Su Ren smiled: "I should also take a break, right?" Listen to my voice, it's been a few days and it's still like this! Why do you want to exhaust me? ”

"How could that be! Hehehe! Huang Shisan moved a chair for Cui Jiuming and placed it opposite Su Ren. After Cui Jiuming thanked him, he sat down, peeked at Dong Qian and Leng Yue who were walking away, and asked in a low voice, "When are you going to tell Miss Dong?" ”

Su Ren sighed: "Don't worry, when the matter in Chengdu is over, I will prepare to go to Chang'an, and it will not be too late to talk about it then." ”

Cui Jiuming didn't ask much, and nodded: "Yes, even if you say it now, you can't leave immediately, it's better to wait until you go, and go to Chang'an together to take care of it." ”

Su Ren waved his hand: "Don't talk about it, let's talk about it, how are those guys doing these days?" ”

Cui Jiuming suddenly came to his senses: "Everything is going according to our plan, all the colorful stones from the auction house are hoarding in large quantities, several merchants have already bet on all their net worth, according to what you said, send people to bring over their shops and goods, and in a few days they will all become ours, this time it is really happy, and our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce fights, there is only a dead end." ”

"Are there any smart ones?"

Cui Jiuming stopped his excitement and nodded: "There are also so many smarters who know that they have been fooled, and they have never made a move, by the way, there is one more thing, the old Hu of the silk village does not seem to give up, and they are ready to sue us!" ”

"Sue us, where to sue?"

"My people have seen these guys go to Taishou Mansion a few times, and that is often a master who sees money, will he give us a hand?"

Su Ren smiled slightly and shook his head: "What's there to be afraid of when you go to Changshi?" I wish I could help the surnamed Hu in the middle of things, so that we can save tens of thousands of dollars every month! It is true that he loves money in a common way, and he is a smart person, rest assured, this time the four of them surnamed Hu will never want to turn over. ”

"That's good!" Cui Jiuming grinned: "I was still worried when I came, but I was relieved when you said that." ”

Su Ren took a sip of tea: "Except for the sue, no one is looking for you to make peace?" Some time ago, there were a lot of people who broke away from our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce? ”

"Don't worry, I've taken care of it!" Cui Jiuming relaxed, leaned back in the chair, and crossed his legs: "As long as those small merchants sincerely repent, I don't investigate the past, those big ones, let them dry first, and then talk about it, and when they are completely convinced, they will suffer, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is not a place where anyone who wants to enter and leave if they want to!" ”

Looking at Cui Jiuming's resolute face, Su Ren wanted to laugh. Cui Jiuming's smiling appearance, coupled with his fat body, sat on the chair and was a standard Maitreya Buddha. Now he is talking with a straight face, and he looks funny.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, and when the few surnamed Hu are completely finished, I'll go to Chang'an, and you will take care of the affairs of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce!"

Cui Jiuming was deflated: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!" You have someone to support you, what if you leave and poke the basket? ”

"If you stab it, you will stab it, if you don't experience a few failures, how can you succeed, as long as you are optimistic about the two trade routes, even if something big happens, we all have room for maneuver."

Cui Jiuming nodded and didn't say much. Seeing that it was almost noon, lunch was already ready in the lobby. The rules of the Su family, everyone at the big round table gathered around, ate while talking, and drank two glasses of wine happily, which was completely different from other rich families in Dahan. Cui Jiuming likes this way of eating, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely come to eat.

After eating, everyone has not left the table. Liu Gao came in, followed by two dukes. Su knew each other when he saw it, and beckoned the two men to dinner. The two dukes hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Mr. Su has raised his love, the villain does not dare to disturb, this time I came to the order of Taishou, please go to the mansion." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Well, the villain doesn't know."

"Okay, go back and tell Taishou, I'll be there soon!"

But the duke didn't move, and saluted again: "Sir, forgive me, I am too obedient to the order, let the two of us lead Mr. to go!" ”

"Fart!" Hawking rushed out of the house and grabbed the collars of the two dukes: "Changshi, that old thing, let the two of you come to get my eldest brother?" Say, what the hell is going on? I can't tell you clearly, master, I'll abolish you today! ”

The guards in the courtyard hula surrounded him, and the frightened two dukes hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The older one, 1510 told Shopkeeper Hu and others about suing Su Ren, without the slightest concealment, and even explained clearly how much money he received from Shopkeeper Hu. In Chengdu, anyone can be fooled and deceived, but Mr. Su from Xishi had better not provoke. Not only did his subordinates raise dozens of fierce and vicious guards, but even the county soldiers outside the city were all from other people's homes, even if you were too guarded, you had to be polite to Mr. Su.

After listening to the words of the two dukes, Su Ren stopped Hawking from messing around and nodded: "Get up, thank you for the news, come, give each of you 100 yuan, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and let's go together!" ”

"Mr. Xie Su, Mr. Xie!"

In ancient times, the governor of a county was really a high authority. Taishou, who combines administration and justice, is not only the highest chief executive of a county, but also the president of the Supreme Court, the chief procurator of the Supreme Procuratorate, the director of the Public Security Bureau, the director of the Taxation Bureau, and the director of the Finance Bureau...... Wait a minute. The sum of all the leaders in a region in later generations is the Taishou of a county in ancient times.

With such a big power, and in the border county, if there are ambitious people, the court will have nothing to do with them. The demise of the Han Dynasty is actually directly related to this system. In the thirteen states of the world, the people only know the state pastor or the history of the assassin, and they don't know who the emperor is. In order to continuously expand their territory, the state pastor and the assassin first attacked foreign tribes, and slowly evolved into mutual attacks, which gave rise to the saying of the Three Kingdoms in troubled times.

For the time being, Shu County is too regular and sits on the main seat, and the officials of the rafters are gathered on both sides, majestic and solemn. Su Ren followed the two dukes up to the main hall, holding his head high without the slightest worry or fear. At a glance, he saw the four shopkeepers Hu, Liu, Fang, and Wu kneeling on the side of the lobby.

After the duke finished speaking, Su Ren gave up his hand: "Su Ren has seen Taishou!" ”

"Bold Su Ren, why don't you worship when you see Taishou?" Without waiting for ordinary things to speak, someone has already come out.

Su Ren glanced at the man: "It turned out to be Qi Hu Cao, Hu Cao doesn't have to make such a fuss, although I was dismissed by the imperial court, but don't forget, I still have a title, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, the fifth rank of the knighthood can be seen that the official does not worship, not to mention that I am the fifth rank of the ninth class, speaking of Qi Hu Cao, I should pay a salute when I see it!" ”

"You!" Qi Hu Cao wanted to show it, but he didn't want to, but he put himself in.

Chang Shi smiled: "Ziheng has made great contributions to the court and Shu County, although he was temporarily dismissed, you must not be rude, come, take a cushion for Ziheng, sit down and talk." ”

"Xie Taishou!" Su Ren generously knelt down on the cushion next to him.

"Taishou, please let Xiaomin call the shots!" As soon as Su Ren sat down, the shopkeeper Hu immediately wailed, no matter from the time or the heat, he grasped it just right, leaving no time and space for people: "Lord Taishou is tolerant, Su Ren used fraud to sell worthless rotten stones to me at a high price, and then sent people to sell them in large quantities, causing us to suffer heavy losses, please Lord Taishou make decisions for the small people and ask for justice!" ”

"Taishou is in charge of the small people!" Liu, Fang, and Wu knelt on the ground and cried together.

"Taishou, such despicable people will definitely bring them to justice and return them to my Shu County Qingping!" Qi Hu Cao, who had just been blocked by Su Ren and had nothing to say, rushed up again: "Su Ren used fraudulent means to persecute my Shu County businessmen, and even colluded with foreign businessmen, this is to destroy my Shu County's business and cut off my Shu County businessmen's way of life!" Taishou guards Shu County for the Son of Heaven, and should think about the people of Shu County! ”

"Qi Hu Cao is right!" As soon as Qi Hu Cao finished speaking, Bing Cao also stood up: "As far as I know, Su Ren not only bullied and dominated the market, but also sent his guards to do evil and rob the goods of my Shu County merchants. ”

After saying one by one, Su Ren sat there motionless, and his forehead was sweating.!!
