Chapter 246: Gossip
Jin Chaoqun decided to make a move on Su Yi in two days, and at this moment, he must be in a hurry to prepare for relevant matters, so he arranged for a few henchmen to gather the guards in the city, and contacted some powerful forces in Wuyuan County.
Although Su Yi's subordinates are extremely strong, but this is in Wuyuan County after all, they are not familiar with the place, and when they arrive in Wuyuan County, even a tiger has to lie down, and the principle that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake is applicable anywhere.
Li Cheng is one of Jin Chaoqun's several right-hand men, his father Li Liang is Jin Chaoqun's steward, he has also lived a life of fine clothes and food in the Jin Mansion since he was a child, and has been accompanying Jin Chaoqun's sons to grow up, Li Cheng has long regarded himself as the next steward of the Jin Mansion. Although he didn't hold any position under Jin Chaoqun, when the Jin Mansion saw him, he had to be called a little steward!
Of course, this name is only useful in Jinfu, Li Cheng is young after all, and the people of Wuyuan County have not paid attention to him, his father Li Liang may still have an impression of the people in the city, but for him as a son of a lackey of Jinfu, the local people may not have much impression.
Li Cheng began to help Jin Chaoqun deal with some affairs very early, and at this time, he was responsible for contacting the guards in the city, and if Jin Chaoqun wanted to do something to Su Yi, he had to gather all his troops. Li Cheng had already informed the guards in various parts of the city, and after completing the task at this time, he walked alone to a jade toy shop to spend time.
Although Li Cheng is not a rich son, he has lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food in Jinfu since he was a child, and he naturally has a vision, and he has loved jade since he was a child, and he is especially fond of antiques such as jade carvings and jade pendants.
The shopkeeper is a slightly honest middle-aged man, he only raised his eyelids slightly when he saw Li Cheng enter the store, but most of the people who come to the jade shop will not really buy jade, especially those young boys. They are interested in some fancy jade pendants, but unfortunately these jade pendants are not worth anything, for such customers, the shopkeeper is naturally able to slaughter, and he does not take the initiative to entertain, once these people go up to ask the price. Then these shopkeepers start the crazy sheep slaughter mode......
Li Cheng didn't care, he wandered around the store by himself, and then there were two more customers in the store, both of whom were old customers of this jade toy shop.
Li Cheng saw that the shopkeeper ignored him and smiled slightly. I was about to leave the jade play shop, but I heard the two customers chatting with the owner, "Have you heard?" Yesterday, Nanyang sent a special envoy to our Wuyuan County! ”
"Really?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I've heard a little about this, but I don't know if this news is reliable......
Li Cheng's ears moved, and his feet that were about to step out of the jade toy store retracted.
One of the guests said, "Reliable, of course reliable, you know?" In fact, this envoy was sent by Tian Qushuai, accompanied by Gu Dayong, a confidant of Lord Qu Shuai, who is said to have come to our Wuyuan County to investigate some things......"
Li Cheng's eyes narrowed suddenly. He lowered his head slightly, hiding the look of surprise in his eyes. pretended to choose a jade pendant, but his mind had already shifted to the content of the conversation of several people.
Another guest snorted coldly and said, "The death of that old golden dog is coming, and the lackeys under him are also coming soon, especially that Steward Li, this old dog will be removed by the envoy sooner or later." ”
Li Cheng's jaw almost didn't fall, and his eyes widened suddenly. They stared at the guest who spoke, and the three who spoke did not notice his expression at all.
"Shh The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Lao Wang, silence, you can't talk nonsense." ”
"What are you afraid of!" The guest who spoke said loudly: "This Jin Chaoqun has committed a heinous crime in the city. has long been dead, do you know why Lord Qu Shuai sent a special envoy to Wuyuan County this time, because I heard that Jin Chaoqun has the heart of rebellion! ”
Li Cheng heard that his hands and feet were cold, he grew up in the Jin Mansion since he was a child, and he had long been tied to the Jin family for his own interests. Jin Jiachang, he will follow the rising tide and the Jin family will die, then his Li family will become the first batch of sacrificial souls.
The shopkeeper was shocked: "Jin Chaoqun has the heart of rebellion? What do you mean? Does he want to make himself king? "These businessmen are actually not too interested in current affairs and politics, of course, if Jin Chaoqun really wants to establish himself as the king and attract the soldiers and horses of Nanyang, then Wuyuan County will undoubtedly become a battlefield again, and these people do not want Wuyuan County to fall into a war.
Another guest said, "Not really. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to the guest continue: "This Jin Chaoqun is said to want to take refuge in the imperial court, you also know that Nanyang is the hinterland of Youzhou, these counties are occupied by Lord Qu Shuai, which is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the beginning and the end of Youzhou, once Jin Chaoqun takes refuge in the imperial court, it will break the situation of this separation, and this Jin Chaoqun will also become a hero of the imperial court, if he can succeed, it is not a problem to at least become a big official, as for us people...... At that time, it will be miserable, and Wuyuan County will inevitably become the focus of the struggle between Nanyang and the imperial court. ”
"!" The shopkeeper said angrily: "For the sake of fame and fortune, this surnamed Jin actually wants to kill the people of the entire Wuyuan County? ”
"When did he think about the lives and deaths of the people in the city?"
The shopkeeper was indignant and said, "What should I do then?" The old man lived in Wuyuan County when he was old, what do you say I should do? ”
"In troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog." The guest sighed lightly and said: "We do business on this aspect of the most experienced, in peacetime, business may be affected by the season, weather, but as long as we are willing to do, there will always be benefits, but once it comes to the war era, let alone go out to do business, we can save our lives is good, when the family is ruined, the wife is separated, even if the family wealth is scattered, it can not be alone!" ”
Another guest said: "I heard that Jin Chaoqun is mobilizing the army in the city, and Nanyang is also powerful, in order to test whether Jin Chaoqun really secretly communicates with the imperial court, he specially brought dozens of prisoners of the Eagle Yang Army, do you know the Eagle Yang Army?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I've heard a little, but I don't know what it's for." ”
The guest said: "That is the most elite soldier in Youzhou, if Jin Chaoqun really wants to join the imperial court, he will definitely save this group of prisoners." According to reliable sources, these captives have now fallen into the hands of Jin Chaoqun, and in order to save these captives, he secretly mobilized his army and prepared to take action against the envoy. And the place of attack is in the city, how many people are in this city, and how many people will die in the event of a war? In order to cling to the imperial court, this Jin family did not hesitate to bury our entire Wuyuan County. ”
The shopkeeper slammed his fist on the table with hatred, and then a loud bang sounded, and at the same time, Li Cheng's heart also chuckled, and at this moment his heart was cold. (To be continued.) )
