"You're Fan Yongdou, right?"
Zhu Cihong stepped forward steadily...... There was no longer anyone in the main hall except for Fan Yongdou and the concubines, and the strong and pungent smell of blood began to spread.
It is not uncommon for the crown prince of a country to kill people, but when he touches the residence of a merchant in the dark like this, in addition to killing people, he also has to blackmail, and he is afraid that he may be kidnapped in the future.
But at the end of the next season, there is no need for such a ridiculous and surprising method, what is the best way to break the situation?
Zhu Cihong looked indifferent, just looked up and down at the middle-aged businessman in front of him, this guy was an ordinary man at this time, in front of the strongman who broke into the house and killed people, he also maintained his composure and demeanor, to be fair, after all, he is a billionaire-level successful person in the future, and he has a momentum that only successful people have.
But it is also this guy, betraying the country and selling his ancestors, and selling a large amount of pig iron, grain, cloth and medicinal materials to Jiannu through mouth. If this is the case, at most he is shameless, but while selling supplies, they also helped Jiannu build an intelligence network in the interior, and sent a large amount of mountainous terrain and military intelligence out in a steady stream.
Otherwise, when Li Zicheng went all the way to Yanjing in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, how did Dolgon know the route and actual situation of the army, and why did he swear an oath before Wu Sangui decided to surrender, and mobilized the strength of the whole clan to prepare to fight for the world with Li Zicheng?
I really want to thank these Shanxi businessmen!
Under his sharp eyes, Fan Yongdou, who was still quite confident, was also a little flustered. In this chaotic last days, he is a businessman who travels south and north, and he has experienced many similar situations, and it doesn't matter, it's just that he finally broke his fortune and avoided disaster.
But the young young student in front of him with a calm look couldn't understand what was in his eyes.
In a panic, there were many words: "This strong man is the leader, right?" To tell the truth, I have recently collected a lot of grain and cloth, and I have used a lot of silver, so if I want to say that I take too much at once, I will also deceive the king...... In this way, there are still more than 10,000 in the current silver family, and it is in the inner mansion warehouse, please send a few people to carry it...... Walking outside all year round, in fact, it is also easy to make friends, to put it mildly, if the strong men lose the wind one day, I am afraid that they will be used if they make this friend......"
Fan Yongdou talked for a long time, but Zhu Cihong just looked at him with interest...... After a while, the long-sleeved and dancing merchant closed his mouth, and his eyes gradually showed impatience and vague anger...... Over the years, even a high-ranking official at the level of the governor and governor has not treated him like this.
Those general soldiers, adjutant generals, are even more respectful to him!
"No silver, how much gold do you have in your house?"
In the end, Zhu Cihong finally spoke slowly.
Saying this, Fan Yongdou breathed a sigh of relief...... As long as you are willing to open the plate, it will be much easier.
When things came to the field that he was good at, Fan Da Shangshang's expression was much calmer, he pretended to think, but he kept thinking about how to deal with it in his heart...... What do you have to do to let the caregivers in the outer courtyard know that the inner house has changed!
"Back to the general, the inner house is cleared!"
At this time, the appearance of Wang Xiao and others shattered Fan Yongdou's illusions...... Five or six black-clothed men rushed in, covered in blood, and there were shocking blood stains on the short knives and axes in their hands...... It is clear that the limited resistance of the inner house has been completely crushed.
"You don't have to be here, go out near the gate of the inner house, and guard the door of the inner house with every other man."
"Yes!"
As soon as Zhu Cihong gave the order, Wang Xiao and the others turned around and went out without the slightest hesitation. It seems that listening to the general has made the action already sound and natural, and it is completely a matter of habit.
Strong curiosity made Fan Yongdou begin to look at Zhu Cihong cautiously...... At most fifteen or sixteen years old, there is no bearing to say, it must be a long-term high-level commander who has such a bearing and expression...... At this moment, Fan Yongdou was first confused, and then, a faint thought began to emerge in his mind.
"Say, how much gold?"
The inner house was clear, and there was no movement in the outer house, so Zhu Cihong's expression was much more relieved. asked someone to move a chair and asked Fan Yongdou to kneel down and reply.
One high and one low, it is even more obvious in terms of status and psychological implications, and the person in front of him is the dish on the board, and you can cut it as you want.
Fan Yongdou had a small act of resistance before kneeling, and was lightly kicked by Wang Yuan in the crook of his knee, which hurt his heart.
Coupled with nervousness, a face is sometimes yellow, sometimes iron-blue.
At this time, Fan Yongdou completely understood the gap between their status, as well as their actual situation...... Money is no longer a guarantee of his status, on the contrary, it may be his amulet.
"There are more than 20,000 taels of gold...... There are also hundreds of taels of jewelry or something...... Beaded jadeite also has some ...... Antique calligraphy and painting also have some ......"
As soon as he thought of being killed, Fan Yongdou's expression was much more respectful, lying on the ground, and honestly replying.
"Send your henchmen and bring my people to bring the gold, and you don't want any jewelry, jadeite, or anything. We ask for money, but we are not robbers. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm waiting for ......" Zhu Cihong hesitated, but still slowly said the words that he had already thought out in advance.
According to him, he is a general who broke into the army, of course, he became a general at such a young age, and there is no need to say more about his strong background. And this time in Beijing, he was ordered to infiltrate the Beijing division to do important errands.
Contact the officials at both ends of the first rat, spread the news, and hide to prepare for the cooperation between the inside and the outside...... These are the norm for spies, and they have a more important task, which is to register the property of the officials and wealthy merchants in the city, so that they can raid their homes and help them after the army enters the city in the future.
The practice of breaking into the camp in the Central Plains and Xiangdeng area, Fan Yongdou, a giant businessman and the leader of an underground intelligence organization, is very clear, so when Zhu Cihong said his purpose, Fan Yongdou was stunned, and there was no trace of suspicion at all.
Speaking of which, the serious little Liu Ying may also have this kind of task, and Liu Zongmin ordered 5,000 sets of clamping sticks at the beginning of entering the city...... This shows that Chuang Ying has a very strong confidence in the assets of the imperial relatives and ministers in the capital...... Because 5,000 sets of clamping sticks are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you won't do such a stupid thing if you are not sure.
"So it's nothing to ask you for a little gold now." In the end, Zhu Cihong took a sip of tea and said to Fan Yongdou: "The more you donate now, the more you can avoid disasters in the future." ”
"Yes, the villain understands."
"Also, you have a secret collusion with Dongyu, don't you?"
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Yongdou's mouth was like a toad that had been struck by thunder on a rainy day. In Daming Jingshi, he was forced to ask such the most important thing, and it was in his bedroom, and the most important thing was to ask the identity of the person or the anti-Ming army...... Fan Yongdou felt that there was one thunder after another above his head, and the rumbling kept ringing, and he kept hoping that what was in front of him was a nightmare, and he would wake up soon...... But he knew that the most terrifying nightmare wouldn't be like this...... Because my imagination has not yet reached such a rich point.
"Don't be afraid." Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with the look on the other party's face, and of course, he also confirmed his conjecture, which helped to improve his status and image in the eyes of his subordinates.
Of course, he is the core now, but the power brought by his status is nothing, and the position that he has to build up bit by bit by his own ability is unbreakable.
Just after he forced Fan Yongdou to confirm the identity of this person, Wang Yuan and the others behind him snorted coldly, and when they looked at Zhu Cihong, they really looked more respectful.
"You colluded with Donglu, the disaster is the Ming Dynasty, for us to break into the camp, Donglu entered the customs again and again, and it happened to help us, so you have no merit. If it weren't for this layer, we wouldn't have come to you for help...... Such a good thing, ordinary officials and businessmen are not in turn. ”
Fan Yongdou's expression didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and after listening to Zhu Cihong's words, he had to nod again and again.
However, at that time, people did not have any distinction between countries and nationalities, and under the premise of only the change of dynasties, loyalty to a certain dynasty and a certain group was the category understood by ordinary people.
Zhu Cihong's words changed, and he continued: "We have no enmity with Dongyu, and this dynasty is new, so we are not afraid of him." My lord King Chuang will lead 500,000 elites to attack the Jingshi next spring! Well...... You can first send a letter to the past, tell the two auxiliary kings to know, and say that I am a new dynasty and do not want to be enemies with them, and we will take Guanning as the boundary between each other, and enjoy the blessings of peace forever...... Well, that's it. ”
When the young general in front of him said this, Fan Yongdou knew that his surname could be saved. And the panic gradually disappeared, and the brain became much more active.
After nervous thinking and secretly observing, Fan Yongdou had already believed more than ninety percent. The people in front of him, whether they have a temperament or a little habit that is inadvertently revealed, are all typical military appearances, and as for Zhu Cihong, he is full of confidence and looks like a young nobleman who has been in the top position for a long time.
Among the Jingshi, except for the people who broke into the camp sneaked in, where could there be so many martial artists who couldn't get along with his Fan family? Besides, knowing the details of his collusion with Dongyu, how could he let him go lightly and ask him to pass on the news?
There was no doubt at the moment, he lay on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Please rest assured, the villain will definitely spread the news!" ”
There were also several times in the Guannai, and the auxiliary king, especially Prince Rui, was particularly interested in breaking into the camp, and several times passed on the rumors, telling him to pay more attention to the "marshals of Shaanxi", and any news must be passed on as soon as possible.
Although there is a lot of gold to be lost today, there is also a direct channel of communication with the camp...... Speaking of which, the gains still outweigh the losses.
"If there is anything else, we will send someone to contact you. Come in today, if you don't kill people, you can't stand your authority, and you can't win trust. ”
The man carrying the gold outside has returned, and this time he has obtained tens of thousands of gold, and he has successfully deterred an old and slippery businessman, and established a channel to release news to the gold side...... The income is really huge.
So Zhu Cihong and Fan Yongdou, who both felt that they had gained, smiled together......
"I don't know what the major general is called, in which battalion head?"
Because of relaxation, Fan Yongdou also talked more, and began to socialize unconsciously.
"Oh, it's inconvenient to say the name...... Zhu Cihong said with a look on his face: "Camp head, we are the people who torture the camp, remember, we can't spread it out when we are idle." ”
"Yes, yes!" Fan Yongdou bent down deeply, and agreed in his mouth, but he kept the name of the camp in his heart.
