Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed green: "Those old soldiers can guard them and prevent them from escaping, but if a killer assassin comes, can these people stop them?" Brother Xue, this woman is now in the palace, she is the emperor's woman, how can I move her in the slightest, but the cruelty of the palace struggle in Daxing City is beyond your imagination, brother, if I want to be invincible, it is necessary to grasp the movements in the palace as soon as possible, do you understand now? ”

Xue Ju sighed and nodded: "Okay, okay, I know the truth, you tell me the address and name, I will send thirty brothers with strong martial arts to Zhengjia Village as hunters and government soldiers, and they will be responsible for protecting this family, and will not let anyone of unknown origin approach them, so you are satisfied." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "It should be almost, at the end of each year in the future, you send someone to transfer one million dollars to my store, and then send someone to escort it to Daxing, I will give you an account every year, telling you how much money you have earned this year, you can rest assured." ”

As soon as Xue Ju heard that there was money to be made, he was overjoyed: "Really? That's great, Hua Qiang, I will never poach people from your store again in the future, not only that, but now the two guys I arranged to go in, I will also let them withdraw, we are friends, we should take care of each other, don't think crookedly, I understand this truth now. ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't bother to talk to him about this matter anymore, and stood up: "It's not too early, these things are decided like this, if there is an urgent matter in the future, come to my Wang family firm to send me a message, if I am not in a hurry, I will come in person, and there is one more point." It is the Tianshui where you can expand the potential to Qinzhou in the west. Don't go to Jiuquan where Hexi is. Zhang Ye, especially if you can't enter Guzang, I mention this matter to you very seriously, and you must keep it in mind. ”

Xue Ju was slightly stunned at first, and then showed an unconvinced expression on his face: "Isn't it just those local tyrants in Guzang, what is there to be afraid of." Hua Qiang, can't you fight them? When he said this, he suddenly stopped his mouth. Thinking of a few years ago, Wang Huaqiang seemed to have heard that he had planted in Guzang City, and many shops there in Hexi were forced to close, and it took two years to slowly recover.

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "It's not about fighting, it's just that I had some deals with these local tyrants when I went to the Turks to carry out missions in the past." Brother Xue, you are too small in this Jincheng place to see the outside world, those local tyrants are far from being able to deal with them by force, and they have extremely deep roots, intertwined roots, and affect the whole body. The four counties of Hexi are the range of these people's power. You should not go beyond Tianshui to the west, and do not go beyond the Dasan Pass to the east. The land of the river in the south is open up by the king, and presumably the emperor will not interfere more. ”

Although Xue Ju still had a breath in his heart, he still nodded: "I wrote it down." Hua Qiang, are you leaving? Do you want me to send someone to escort you on a ride? ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "No need, the reason why I only brought Mai Tiecane alone this time is because I don't want others to know about the relationship between the two of us, Brother Xue, you let your subordinates guard the outside today, and only talk to me inside, this is very good, I hope to maintain this kind of secret alliance between you and me." ”

Xue Ju patted his chest: "Hua Qiang, today our brothers talked about it like this, I will go with you in the future, the relationship between us, I will not reveal it to others if I kill him, that Liu Changshui and the two guys, I will find a way to extinguish it, you can rest assured, even my wife doesn't know the current relationship between us, I promise." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Then I will count on you, how to get to Zhengjia Village, can Brother Xue help me show me the way?" ”

Xue Ju wanted to say what kind of way to point, I will accompany you personally, but as soon as he bumped into Wang Huaqiang's cold eyes, he remembered that he had just promised Wang Huaqiang to conceal the relationship between the two, and immediately smiled: "Look at my memory, Huaqiang, do you have a map of this golden city?" I'll show you, and if not, I'll send someone back to get it. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, and took out a silk map from his arms as if by magic, spread it on the table, and in the dim light of the oil lamp, Xue Ju kept pointing on the map, Wang Huaqiang nodded again and again, and quickly wrote down the road to Zhengjia Village.

Wang Huaqiang rolled up the map again, stuffed it into his arms, looked up at the window, and said: "I'm afraid it's almost the third shift at this time, Brother Xue should go back early, the brothers should be tired outside, and besides, if you drive all the guys and guests from this inn out of the house, there won't be any problems." ”

Xue Ju shook his head: "It's okay, I bought this inn early, from the shopkeeper to the guy are all my people, and I didn't live a few guests, I have already driven the guests to other places to stay before I came, you don't know how to go, this Jincheng people have fewer houses and more houses, and the merchants who often come and go here often spend some money to live in the house, and the money spent is much less than the guest house, and the yard can see their goods, don't worry about stealing them at night." ”

Wang Huaqiang knew that Xue Ju had deceived people into signing a note for the murder of his father-in-law in this inn, and he had a psychological shadow for the rest of his life, so he bought this inn early, and it is estimated that he first wanted to demolish this place, but later found that it was really expensive here, and he was reluctant to stay.

This person has a tough appearance, but in fact, he is cowardly in his heart, mean and unkind, short-sighted, he really can't talk about heroes and heroes, and he can only be in this small Jincheng for a while, and he can only give him a small profit to make him optimistic about this area, especially to protect the safety of Xuan Concubine's family, so that Xuan Concubine can work for herself more desperately.

All of this was planned by him before he left, and he was going to implement this step after befriending Li Mi and Yang Xuangan, but the accident at the archery range that day made him have to launch this plan in advance, as for the silk book issued by Wang Xuan, he did not have this thing in his hand, but he was sure that Xue Ju had been afraid of this thing all his life, and Wang Xuan had no proof of death, so he had no fear.

Wang Huaqiang thought of the smugness, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked, glanced at Xue Ju, and said, "Brother Xue, then let's say goodbye, we will meet again." ”

Xue Ju also smiled: "Huaqiang, cherish." He turned and walked out of the door, the sound of heavy footsteps and the sound of nails clashing slowly from near to far, gradually disappearing in the direction of the door.

Wang Huaqiang glanced at the hot water in the bucket on the side, and unconsciously chatted with Xue Ju for two or three hours, this bucket of hot water was already cold, he scooped up a scoop of water by himself, poured it into the bowl in front of him, and filled the bowl with a wheat iron rod on the side, and just picked up the bowl to drink, he heard a sound on the stairs, and the black face of the wheat iron rod full of beard suddenly appeared at the door.

After seeing that Wang Huaqiang was safe and sound, Mai Tiezhu's originally tense face suddenly relaxed, he sat next to Wang Huaqiang, picked up the bowl, took a big sip of water, and said with a smile: "But I'm worried about it, I'm afraid that Xue Ju is not a good person, why have you talked for so long?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "He is indeed not a good person, but he is a useful person for us, my caravan goes to Longyou, and goes to this section of Jincheng Tianshui, and I still need his protection, this time I came to talk to him about the protection fee in the next few years." ”

Mai Tiezhu frowned: "What protection fee?" This is not a bandit cottage, Xue Ju is also a general of the official army in the city, why do you still have to collect protection money from the caravan, it sounds like a bandit leader. ”

Wang Huaqiang waved his hand: "Since ancient times, there has been a family of soldiers and bandits, especially in this Longxi area where the people are strong and thieves are rampant, there are few ruthless people who really can't be suppressed." Although Xue Ju was brutal, it was the most suitable to deal with those horse bandits. Moreover, the caravan crossing the state and county also have to pay taxes, I asked him to reduce the original tax of 30% to about 5%, so that the caravan that has passed through this golden city will be greatly increased, and our next plan can also be carried out. ”

Mai Tiezhu was slightly stunned: "Xingman, what other plans do you have for the next step, do you also want to do business in this Golden City?" (To be continued......)
