Chapter 214: Absolute Control
It was too late, and Tang Meng bowed his hand and said goodbye to the deputy general. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Back in the house, the housekeeper appeared appropriately behind Tang Meng: "Master Qiqi, I didn't see Su Ren and anyone from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce coming today, but at noon, a shopkeeper of Cui Jiuming's family turned around twice in front of our house, and went to the wine shop opposite to drink a pot of wine, until it was almost noon, and was called away by a small servant of the Cui family." ”
"Cui Jiuming's housekeeper?!"
"Yes! The surname is Wang, and the villain has dealt with him before, what does this person say? Very businessman's shrewdness! ”
Tang Meng smiled: "It seems that the first person who can't sit still is that Cui Jiuming!" ”
The housekeeper didn't answer, he knew what Tang Meng had already thought. As a good housekeeper, it's better not to talk at this time.
Tang Meng waved his hand: "Go!" Send someone to keep an eye on Su Mansion, and report any movement immediately, does Su Ren really not want to be an official? Officials, businessmen, officials, and businessmen, without the coat of officials, even if he is the best businessman, it is impossible to become big. ”
The butler saluted and withdrew. Tang Meng didn't feel sleepy. This time, he joined forces with those businessmen in order to force Su Ren out, at least to force Su Ren to come to his own mansion. He had been under Meng Ji long enough to make Tang Meng forget that he was the governor of Shu County. When he was quelling the rebellion outside the city that day, Tang Meng felt that he had become a pawn in Su Ren's hands, which made Tang Meng very uncomfortable.
I got up and opened the window, and the stars hung all over the sky at night, some big and bright, some small and dark. According to Taoism, the stars in the sky all represent a person. The biggest and brightest one is naturally the emperor, and only when the star is dimmed does it mean that the emperor is going to die. Tang Meng searched for a long time, but he couldn't determine which one he belonged to, and he didn't find out where Su Ren's natal star was.
A breeze blew in through the window, nearly extinguishing the oil lamps on several cases. The light in the room suddenly dimmed and brightened. Between light and darkness, Tang Meng felt that the stars in the sky were shining together.
Returning to a few cases, he unfolded a bamboo slip, picked up the pen and thought for a while, and began to write. Tang Meng writes very slowly, because the seal characters are very complicated, and the twists and turns in the song are the same as earthworms.
"Tang Meng, the governor of Shu County, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, wishing my emperor long live long live, long live, since the minister served as the governor of Shu County, he tried his best to live up to His Majesty Longen, how could he be a traitor, there was Shu County Governor Shi Mengji for the disaster of Shu County, secretly controlled Shu County fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, the minister was powerless, almost made my Han territory hand over to people, the minister was terrified, fortunately thanks to God's blessing, my emperor was ordered by the sky, God descended a virtuous person, protect my Han territory, there are Su Ren, mountain and wild sages, since the mountain, repeatedly built miraculous feats......"
Tang Meng spent a whole hour finishing the recital. He put down the brush, checked it again, corrected the mistakes, and copied it neatly, and then dried the ink and rolled up the bamboo slips. Call in your own personal guards.
"Send the recital to Chang'an immediately, remember to hand it over to Taiwei Tian Wei in person, and not to be seen by outsiders, understand?"
The guard nodded, took Tang Meng's recital, and went out. As soon as the time came, the sound of horses' hooves came from the street outside the courtyard. Tang Meng stretched his waist and moved his limbs that were about to stiffen, and then he undressed and prepared for sleep.
The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and it spread far away in the silent city of Chengdu. When passing by Xishi, he was heard by Su Ren. Hurriedly sent Hawking out to see what was going on, and sent Hawking away, Su Ren rubbed his temples, feeling tiredness coming. Today, he was tossed by Cui Jiuming several times, which made Su Ren a little angry. This guy hired him for an official without going through himself, which angered others and almost roasted himself on the fire.
Huang Shisan hurriedly poured a glass of water for Su Ren and handed it to Su Ren with both hands, Su Ren let out a sigh: "Haven't you come yet?" What time is it? ”
Huang 13 said: "It's the time, and there is still half an hour." ”
Su Ren nodded: "Okay, you go to the back door and wait, bring it in as soon as you come, and don't let anyone meet you." ”
Huang Shisan nodded, turned around and went out, and gently led the door away. Hawking hurriedly ran back, and when he entered the door, he found that Huang 13 was missing, so he searched for it in the house, and said while looking for it: "It's a horseman, it seems to be a county soldier, and he went to the west gate." ”
"County soldiers!" Su Ren was puzzled: "It's so late, the person who can still get out of the city must be a character, at least the person who sent him out of the city has some ability." ”
Hawking nodded: "That's natural, that person seems to be Tang Meng's guard, I saw it when I entered the city." ”
Su Ren admires Hawking's memory very much, the county soldier who is only a one-sided relationship, can still remember after so many days. And it's night, and Hawking may not even see the man's face, but he can tell the man's origin, which is indeed an unusual observation.
"What did Tang Meng send people out of the city for?"
Hawking shook his head: "Do you want to chase it back?" Tang Meng has been moving very frequently these days, and his housekeeper chatted happily with those merchants at the door every day, and our people also found that several big families had entered through the back door of the Tang Mansion. ”
"I have long thought of this, with Tang Meng's cleverness, he will never hang himself on our crooked neck tree, now Tang Meng is different from before, if he wants to raise his county soldiers, he will get the support of those big families, he wants to get rid of us!"
Huang Shisan pushed the door in, saw Su Ren and Hawking talking, walked over and whispered a few times in Su Ren's ear. Su Ren nodded, and Huang Shisan turned around and went out, bringing in a guy dressed in black. This person was wrapped in black clothes all over his body, and his face was covered with a black cloth, and he stood in the dark night outside the door, and if he didn't look carefully, he would definitely not be able to find it.
"It's coming! Have a seat! Su Ren didn't get up, and the man didn't salute, turning around and sitting on the chair in front of Su Ren.
Hawking stared at the visitor curiously for a long time, and suddenly saw a scar on the left eye of the visitor, and said with a smile: "Who did I think it was?" Are you concerned? I am not afraid to realize the prickly heat. ”
Ah Xun removed the black cloth covering his face, revealing his scarred face: "Sir said that we can't expose any of our hiding, the streets are full of county soldiers, so we have to do this." ”
Su Ren personally poured a bowl of tea for Ah Xun and handed it to him. Ah Xun hurriedly caught it with both hands: "Mr. Xie! ”
Su Ren smiled: "This attitude is right, no one knows about your affairs in Chengdu except the three of us, and if there is any situation in the future, I will contact the two of them, and I will send the two of them if I have something, and I will also bring tokens, don't believe the rest of the people, do you understand?" ”
Ah Xun nodded: "The villain understands!" ”
"Excellent! I called you here today because there is one thing for you to do, you did a good job last time, and when you go back, you should reward the person who inquired about the news, don't care about money, I will give you everything you need. ”
"The villain understands!" Tsuna was grateful, but the scar on his face completely ruined his appearance.
Hawking smiled: "You better keep a straight face, it's too ugly." ”
Su Ren glared at Hawking, and said to Ah Xun: "After you go back, scatter everyone out, I want to know how much power Tang Meng still has in Chengdu and even Shu County, whether it is bright or dark, all of them will be pulled out by me, and I don't care what method you use, in short, cut off all connections between Tang Meng and the outside world, now that Tang Meng is not restrained by Meng Ji, he wants to break away from us, and he needs to teach him a lesson!" In a word, I want to force Tang Meng to come to me! ”
"No!" Ah Xun hurriedly got up and agreed.
Su Ren continued: "But you must also be in a good sense of proportion, don't expose you too aggressively, we want Tang Meng to know that we did it, but we can't let him find out you by the vine!" ”
"Originally, I wanted Su Kai or Liu Gao to do this matter, but then I thought about it, their style of acting has been branded with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, this is too obvious, and it can't deter Tang Meng, so I let you go, after this matter is done, everyone will be silent immediately, and then send someone to Chang'an to start over, I think this matter will definitely involve the imperial court, we have to take precautions!"
Ah Xun nodded: "The villain understands!" ”
"Remember, never expose yourselves, because you don't exist!"
When he woke up the next day, Tang Meng had been lying in bed for a long time, which was the most comfortable sleep he had ever slept in all these days. stared at the roof for a long time, then turned over and sat up from the bed slowly. Because of that concert, Tang Meng's mouth had a slight smile, and he really wanted to see what kind of expression Su Ren would have when he received the imperial decree.
The housekeeper came in with the washing water, put it where it should be placed, and asked while helping Tang Meng get dressed: "The people of the Zhuo family are here again, they want to discuss the matter of the Yandi copper mine with the master, do the masters see it or not?" ”
Tang Meng stretched his waist: "What price did they drive this time?" ”
The housekeeper said: "He didn't say it, the villain guessed that it should be higher than a few days ago!" ”
"Humph! These old foxes, all staring at the industry left by the Meng family, with copper mines, they can make money, the Zhuo family thinks really well, but unfortunately they don't know that the copper mine is not the Meng family. ”
"So, do you want to reject them?"
Tang Meng wiped his face and threw the sackcloth into the basin: "No, I want to see how sincere the Zhuo family is, let them wait in the living room." ”
"No!" The butler agreed, and walked out of Tang Meng's room with a copper basin.
Tang Meng was not in a hurry, he carefully ate his breakfast, and was just about to go out to meet the people of the Zhuo family, but when he found that the housekeeper came again, he did not move. This time the butler's face was very bad, a little panicked, and a little nervous.
Tang Meng glanced at the housekeeper: "What's the matter?" Are the people of the Zhuo family embarrassed you again? ”
The housekeeper shook his head again and again, and muttered in Tang Meng's ear for a long time. The more Tang Meng listened, the more solemn his face became, until the last palm slapped on a few cases, and the dishes and rice bowls on them clanked: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”
