Wei Zheng smiled: "No, because in that case, he will offend all the officials of Yingzhou who follow the lord, and not only will his life not be saved, but even his family will definitely be wiped out by these local snakes." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "It's better not to be like this until the last resort!" I think these officials should be able to listen to us and put about half of their money in the zài bank. If you really don't want to save it, you can just let him go, don't force it. After all, as a assassin, I should have five or six hundred thousand shares, which is enough to maintain the operation of our intelligence network there. ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "The second question just now is what kind of business can be done without losing money, in fact, the lord has such an achievement in his hands, as long as he is willing to do it, he will definitely be able to make a profit." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "What Xuan Cheng said about the horse business with Prince Dubi? ”

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "How could the lord think of this?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded, and his expression became stern: "When we befriended Prince Dubi before, we agreed to help them open up the horse market in the mainland. A month before our departure, Prince Dubi had sent Na Gao Baoyi to Daxing to find me, saying that he hoped to continue to open his business to the Eastern Capital. ”

"At that time, I was thinking that this area south of the Yangtze River lacks the prairies like the north, so there are no good war horses, and if we want to start an incident in the south in the future, we will not be able to compete in the Central Plains with infantry alone. If only the good horses of the Turks could be transported here and sold. You can make a lot of money. You can also leave some war horses in this area in case you need them in the future. ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Lord, it's okay to make money, counting on leaving war horses here and making a cavalry unit in the future is not very reliable." You are a general, you should know better than me. War horses can't just be bred in captivity, they don't run back and forth on the grassland every day, and they will become thin and weak in less than a year, and they can no longer gallop as war horses in armor. ”

"This Yingzhou is the land of Jingxiang, and there is no large piece of grassland around, so it can't adapt to a large number of war horses. Even if you can get a good war horse there, if you keep it in captivity for a year or two, it will become a pack horse, and you can only transport goods. Pull-a-cart. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "That's true, Xuan Cheng." Do you mean that you can't make money doing horse business in the Yingzhou area, so you have to find another way? ”

Wei Zheng waved his hand: "I didn't say that, I just said not to do war horse business in Yingzhou." Lord, you can do this yourself. ”

Wang Shichong looked directly at Wei Zheng and said slowly: "Xuan Cheng, do you mean that you want me to continue to cooperate with Xiao Mo and resell these war horses to him?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "The lord is really smart, a little bit is thorough, I know you don't like that Xiao Mill, and you don't want to help him cultivate his own power, but if Xiao Mill is willing to give us a face this time and take the initiative to withdraw from his subordinates in this Yingzhou City, that is, he is still willing to cooperate with us, and we can't give him no benefits at all." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "There are two more questions, first, how much money can Xiao Mo have to afford our war horse?" You must know that a war horse here in Jiangnan can be sold for at least four or five thousand yuan, Xiao Mo has not six million in his hand this time, but only one million, and he has to move his huge intelligence network to the place where he will be an official in the future, how many war horses can he afford? ”

In the lobby of the Baiyun Inn, the wind was blowing slightly, the candle flame was shaking, and Wang Shichong's low and rapid voice echoed in everyone's ears: "This second, even if Xiao Mo can buy hundreds or even thousands of war horses, where can he feed these war horses?" ”

"Not to mention that where he is now an official in the Jingxiang area has not yet been decided, even if he becomes the assassin of Jingzhou in Jiangling, raising thousands of war horses alone will not arouse suspicion? And how did he feed after he bought the war horse? Is it in captivity? ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Lord, you have asked Wei so many questions in a row, but there are more than two." I think there are seven or eight. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Actually, to put it bluntly, there are two questions, first, where did he get the money." Second, how does he raise war horses. Just answer these two. ”

Wei Zheng smiled, thought about it carefully, and said: "The first question, he doesn't want to rebel next year, he will definitely have to run it for several years, just buy a few hundred horses every year." Now that we give him this million dollars, he is most likely going to use it to run a new place, but he can always take out one or two hundred thousand dollars, like the stronghold he ran in Dahong Mountain last time, I am afraid that it will cost at least hundreds of thousands. ”

"And didn't he say it, he still has some treasures from the former Xiao Liang Emperor's treasury, even if copper coins can't be used, but gold, silver and jade can still be exchanged for money, and the lord can't underestimate this Xiao Mill too much, if he is really just a poor scholar with a false name, it is impossible to run such a huge force in this Yingzhou."

Wang Shichong nodded: "Then even if Xiao Mo has the money to buy a horse, where will he put this horse after he buys it?" It is impossible to put it in the cave in Dahong Mountain. ”

Wei Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Lord, you may have underestimated the energy of that Xiao Miao, if he becomes the governor of a state, or the county commander of a county, people like Lei Shimeng and Dong Jingzhen can naturally find a way to arrange for a captain or brigade commander of the state and county where he is located, or even a hussar general or a chariot general, to be in charge of the local government soldiers and ordnance horses, and these war horses can be purchased as military horses when the time comes." ”

"As for whether these military horses are kept in captivity or free-range after they are bought, that is Xiao Miao's own business, and it has nothing to do with us, but if there are these war horses in front of me, if I am Xiao Miao, I will definitely find a way to buy them first."

Shan Xiongxin suddenly asked, "Mr. Wei, if that's the case, why should we go to find that Xiao Miao, wouldn't it be better to go directly to Chen Ling?" He had five million dollars in his hand, which he used to buy horses, and he was now the hussar general of Yingzhou. There is also the convenience of this authority. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Xiongxin." You don't know. I haven't figured out how to get along with this Chen Ling yet, so let's wait until I meet Chen Ling himself tomorrow and see his attitude. ”

Wei Zheng also nodded: "Anyway, this matter can depend on the situation, with Chen Ling and Xiao Milling here, the horse can be sold after all, even if it is to get some inferior horses to come, it can also be sold as a pack horse, whether it is marching and fighting or trafficking in commercial goods in peacetime." These pack horses are also indispensable. Doing a horse business in the south is always a sure profit, Wei thinks about it, that is, this business is the best. ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "It's just that in the market in Yingzhou now, is there anyone doing this horse business?" If we open the market here with such fanfare, will we steal other people's business and attract jealousy? ”

Wang Shichong said: "Judging from the materials of the corrupt and illegal officials you found Xuancheng, these local local snakes are engaged in copperware, silk, and rice grain business, but no one is doing the horse business, and maybe they do not have a channel to traffic horses from the north." Otherwise, I won't let this profitable business not do it. ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "But after all, we didn't investigate in detail in the market in Yingzhou, originally Wei Mou planned to go to the market in Yingzhou with his lord yesterday afternoon." It's just that he was led out of the city by Li Jing later, so it was delayed, but fortunately, we have time, if the lord can't spare time after taking office, Wei is willing to run around this market and see it with his own eyes. ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "I still have to see it with my own eyes, there are not so many things here that I need to keep an eye on all day long, just leave it to Hu Sizheng to deal with." Compared with these trivial official matters, it is the most important thing to build up your own power as much as possible. ”

"I'm going to write a letter to my family in a while, and ask Li Jing to help me bring it over tomorrow, so that the branches of the commercial houses everywhere can adjust more money in secret, don't make too much movement, don't open new shops this year, and store the money in Wanfu Qianzhuang by the way, and let him tell Gao Baoyi and let him come to Yingzhou to meet me."

Wang Shichong paused, stood up, paced in front of this table, he made up his mind, and continued: "Now our situation is indeed difficult, but we have seen hope, only by doing well here and doing well can we reduce our pressure and help our Wang family tide over the difficulties as soon as possible." ”

Wei Zheng's eyebrows moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Wang Shichong glanced at Wei Zheng, turned to Wei Zheng again, and said, "Go to see Chen Ling tomorrow, how to deal with it, what does Xuan Cheng think?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Presumably the lord has already planned it, Wei is the only lord and the princess." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and muttered, "Chen Ling, will you be obedient obediently?" ”

At the same time, the small courtyard where Xiao Mo was located was also brightly lit, dozens of helmets and armor were bright, and the heavily armed sergeants surrounded the small courtyard, everyone was holding pine torches, with their backs to the small courtyard, staring at the front with full attention, occasionally a few passers-by passed by, looking inside curiously, and they would soon be driven away by these wolf-like sergeants.

In the study room of Xiao Mo in the small courtyard, Chen Ling is wearing a robe and armor, wearing a military uniform, sitting on the bench where Wang Shichong sat before yesterday, the round face that has been smiling in front of people is full of anger at this time, his fists are clenched tightly, as if he is suppressing the anger in his heart, the whole person is like an active volcano, as long as a little stimulation, it will burst out at any time.

And Xiao Miao, who was standing opposite Chen Ling, was packing up his bags, rolling up the bamboo slips on the bookshelf and putting them in a few large boxes beside him.

Xiao Mo sighed while packing: "Uncle Chen, the little nephew is really reluctant to leave Yingzhou like this, there are still a few volumes of Qu Yuan in the west of the city, I originally said that I would get it tomorrow, but I don't know when I will come back, or, please help me get it?" ”

Chen Ling couldn't hold back any longer, and stood up with a "rubbing", the two apple muscles on his round face were beating: "Xiao Miao, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid with me anymore, if you don't give a satisfactory explanation of Aunt Liu's affairs today, the matter between us will not be over!"

Xiao Mo stopped the movement in his hand and smiled slightly: "Uncle Chen, I have explained many times just now, Aunt Liu was killed by Wang Shichong, because she eavesdropped in the vat outside, and was detected by the surnamed Wang, he shot on the spot." I didn't have time to stop it. ”

Chen Ling snorted coldly: "Xiao Mill." Are you a three-year-old child whose surname is Chen. You deceives you like this?!You arranged at least thirty or forty people inside and outside this small courtyard last night, and only Aunt Liu was sent by Queen Xiao to your side, but she died, and your people were completely fine, is there such a coincidence? ”

"Besides, Aunt Liu has served Queen Xiao for so many years, how many tasks have she performed, and she doesn't even know the rules of surveillance and eavesdropping? Will it still be noticed? Xiao Miao, you must have made some kind of agreement with Wang Shichong in private. I'm afraid that if we know, you're going to kill people. ”

Xiao Miao's face was not shocked, and he was unusually calm: "This qiē is just your speculation, and there is no evidence." Uncle Chen, you and I have also cooperated in Yingzhou for several years, and we can be regarded as a tacit understanding with each other, why do you want to be unhappy when you are leaving? ”

Chen Ling said sharply: "Xiao Miao, Queen Xiao has the grace of reinvention for you, not only sheltering you for so many years, but also giving you money." Give you people, let you develop here. Now that your wings are hard, you want to throw away Queen Xiao and go it alone? Do you think you're still human? ”

Xiao Mo replied coldly: "Uncle Chen, did my aunt allow you to transfer those old subordinates you had in Lujiang to be your own soldiers?" Uncle Chen, you are eating empty salaries in this state, plus your own savings, and wantonly planting your own people in the government soldiers of this Yingzhou, have you reported these things to your aunt? ”

Chen Ling's eyelids jumped, and the momentum in his voice decreased a little, but he still maintained a high-profile door: "I'm different from you, I left Lujiang, and those villagers in my hometown wanted to follow me and join me, so I tried to find a way to let them settle down in Yingzhou, what's wrong with this?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly: "Uncle Chen, what did you just say?" Don't treat your surname Chen as a three-year-old. Is that you, when I am a three-year-old? Let them settle down, and all of them will be your personal guards, is it such a coincidence? ”

Chen Ling didn't want to entangle with Xiao Mo on this issue any longer, he rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Xiao Mo, I won't tell you this now, if you think I have a problem, you can report it to Queen Xiao." It's just that Aunt Liu died inexplicably, and you have to give Queen Xiao an explanation. Otherwise, she will definitely not continue to support you in the future. ”

Xiao Mo replied lightly: "In front of my aunt, I only have this statement, Aunt Liu was killed by Wang Shichong, because she was too close and made a move." Wang Shicheng was talking to me about the key details of the cooperation, as soon as I found out that someone was eavesdropping, I immediately killed him, and I can't stop a weak scholar, is there a problem with this? ”

Chen Ling said hatefully: "Xiao Miao, Queen Xiao is not a fool, you can't deceive her with this rhetoric." I'm not going to lie with you anyway. ”

Xiao Mo let out an "oh" and smiled: "Then how is Uncle Chen going to report to his aunt?" ”

Chen Ling snorted disdainfully: "Naturally, it was a truthful report, so I said that the virtuous nephew and Wang Shichong had a secret talk, and Aunt Liu was ordered to guard, and then died inexplicably." ”

Xiao Mo shook his head: "It's not that he died inexplicably, but he was mistakenly killed by Wang Shichong." ”

Chen Ling said proudly: "Chen didn't see it, and he won't help you fulfill this lie, Chen will only truthfully reflect the facts he saw." ”

Xiao Mo smiled "hehe", revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Okay, then Xiao also told his aunt about Uncle Chen's development of his cronies in Yingzhou in the past two years, and those are also facts that Xiao has seen with his own eyes." ”

Chen Ling was trembling with anger, the nails and leaves on his body were clanging, and he roared angrily: "Xiao Miao, are you threatening me?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled faintly: "How dare the little nephew threaten Uncle Chen, you are the one your aunt put here to monitor the little nephew, if you offend you, you will offend your aunt, who else can you rely on if you offend your aunt?" ”

Chen Ling didn't laugh angrily, and said in a deep voice: "There are a lot of people you can rely on, isn't Wang Shichong your new friend?" Finding Wang Shichong, who is rich in the world, is much more reliable than being the queen's aunt. ”

Xiao Mo shook his head: "Uncle Chen, do you think I will be stupid enough to find an emperor's thorn in the side as a friend, and give up the ready-made queen aunt?" When did the little nephew become so stupid in your eyes? ”

Chen Ling said coldly: "You will, Wang Shichong has been in battle for a long time, his friends in the army are all over the world, he is rich in the first side, and he is also known as a wise general with both civil and military skills, and now the Wang family is forced to a dead end, isn't this just the best help for you Xiao Mo to stand on your own?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly: "Uncle Chen, isn't Wang Shichong your good helper?" ”

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Xiao Mill." What do you mean by that? I'm not you. There is no idea of self-reliance. I don't want to have anything to do with this king. ”

Xiao Mo shook his head: "Uncle Chen, you don't need to say secret words in front of the Ming, you know best what you have in mind!" My aunt is thousands of miles away from you, and I don't know your little actions here, if you know, you see if she believes in you, a foreigner, or me, a child of the Xiao family. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ling took a step back and sat back on the bench in a dejected manner. The fierce light in his eyes just now also dissipated.

This qiē was all expected by Xiao Miao, he knew that as long as he mentioned the difference between this bloodline and his surname, he could completely hold Chen Ling, seeing Chen Ling like this, he secretly sneered in his heart: Hmph, fight with the master, you are still a little behind.

But Xiao Miao's face pretended to have a sincere expression: "Uncle Chen, whether you believe it or not, what I just said, Aunt Liu is already dead, and I wonder how she died." It really doesn't make any sense. And it was Wang Shichong who took the initiative to find me, not me to find him. Therefore, my aunt can't blame me, and it is impossible for her to break off the relationship with me Xiao in the future, because she still has to rely on me, a nephew, to restore the old country of Daliang in the Jingxiang area. ”

"But what about your Uncle Chen? If I don't have an accident, I will be sent to a certain county in Jingzhou to be a county commander, but you, as the Sima of Yingzhou, are not allowed to leave your post without permission, presumably my aunt does not want to give this Yingzhou, which has been in business for four or five years, to Wang Shichong for nothing, and when the time comes, you will definitely let Uncle Chen take charge of the affairs of this Yingzhou and take over my Yiqiē here. ”

Chen Ling stroked the beard under his chin, and his face showed a smug expression: "This should be for sure." ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Chen, don't be too happy, look at my Xiao Miao's yesterday and today, and you can know your tomorrow." My aunt can rest assured that I, my own nephew, can I rest assured that you, a person with a foreign surname, can I rest assured? When the time comes, you will have to put another person to spy on you. ”

Chen Ling's eyelids jumped, but his tone was still very tough: "This is a natural thing, and I will do the same if I change it." It's you, nephew, do you think that when you arrive in a new place, Empress Xiao will not send someone to continue to spy on you? ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Uncle Chen doesn't have to worry about the future of the little nephew, just say that now, when you come here today, I'm afraid that you don't ask me about the crime of Aunt Liu's death, do you want me to transfer all the intelligence networks that Yingzhou has been operating for many years to you?" ”

Chen Ling was suddenly struck by Xiao Miao's heart, his round face was slightly red, and in an instant, he returned to his normal color, and said, "Shouldn't this be?" Xiao Mill, you'd better figure out that your qiē today was given by Queen Xiao, not your Xiao Mill's personal thing. Now that you are gone, you will naturally transfer the power you have been in Yingzhou all these years to Empress Xiao. ”

Xiao Mo laughed, the voice echoed throughout the room, shaking the bookshelf with dust, while Chen Ling was shocked by Xiao Miao's laughter, and his heart was also flustered, not knowing what Xiao Miao's intentions were.

After Xiao Mo finished laughing, he stared at Chen Ling directly, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Chen, the little nephew might as well tell you the truth today." First, the intelligence network in Yingzhou was founded by Xiao Miao, and if you want to say that Xiao Mi was funded by his aunt, these intelligence networks will finally be handed over to his aunt, which is barely reasonable. But your Uncle Chen is just a pawn sent by my aunt to assist me here, or a pawn to spy on me, and this intelligence network will not be handed over to you. ”

Chen Ling's face was blue and white for a while, and he opened his mouth to argue unconvinced, but was stopped by Xiao Mo waving his hand: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." Second, I have already agreed with Wang Shichong that since he took office, all the forces and subordinates that I have established here will withdraw from this Yingzhou. So Uncle Chen, you don't have to think about taking over my power, there will be nothing left here. ”

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he broke out all of a sudden, his hair was almost upside down, and his round fat face was also swollen red, and he pointed his fingers at Xiao Miao, and shouted: "Xiao Miao, you are so bold!" How dare you make this kind of deal with Wang Shichong without my consent! You, are you dizzy? What benefits did Wang Shichong give you, you actually gave him the territory that you have been operating here for several years?!" (To be continued......)
