Wu Zhihe's mansion was deserted, the guests who came to celebrate his birthday had long since dispersed, the wine table had been removed, and the black coffin had been carried and thrown away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the secret room, Wu Zhihe glared at Wu Yu angrily, and slapped him with his backhand: "Waste, you messed up a good birthday, do you want to be angry with your father!" ”

"Father, the child just doesn't understand why you are so afraid of that inexplicable!" Wu Yu covered his red cheeks and shouted: "Yes, he has a brave and warlike army under his hands!" But so what, you-"

Wu Zhihe closed his eyes and said lightly: "Go on." ”

Wu Yu pondered for a moment, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed in the direction of distant Kyoto, and said, "This head is for the current Queen Mother!" Now in the world, everyone says that there are two saints in the court, in fact, over the years, which matter in the court is not after His Majesty first discussed with the court, and then went back to ask the queen mother what she meant! The final decision-maker of the world's major events is still the Queen Mother, not the weak and mediocre Emperor His Majesty who lingers in the pear orchard all day long, indulges in singing and dancing. ”

Wu Zhihe said again: "Go on!" ”

Wu Yu said solemnly: "Father, our surname is Wu, and the old man of the Queen Mother is surnamed Wu!" You are the distant nephew of the Queen Mother, and I am a distant nephew!! Now above the temple, my aunt and grandmother reuse their relatives, and many of our old Wu family members are in important positions, which of those princes, emperors, and prime ministers dare to be rude to our Wu clan? I don't believe that he really dares to do anything to our father and son inexplicably...... Take 10,000 steps back, even if he dares to mess around inexplicably, it is not good for us royal relatives, that is, slapping my aunt and grandmother in the face, it is no different from rebellion, and the queen mother's aunt and grandmother will never continue to forbear! ”

"Alas, Yu'er, if your mind is more used on these big things, how can my father blame you for half a point." Wu Zhihe slowly opened his eyes, stared at his son, and finally showed a trace of joy: "It's just that you still blame your father, and your father chose to forbear, not because he was really afraid of him, but for another reason...... However, my father is a little tired now, and if you want to take a break, if you want to know the reason, just ask the county Cheng Zhang Gu. After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Wu Yu to leave.

Wu Yu glanced at his father deeply, bowed and then retreated gently, instructed his subordinates to bring a horse, and hurried towards the county government without stopping.

Qingcheng County Yazhong, the county Cheng Zhang Gu Zheng was writing something on the desk, this person was about fifty years old, his head was blue and streaked, he looked up and saw Wu Yu come in, and slowly stood up.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be polite, please do it!" Wu Yu's tone was surprisingly respectful.

"Virtuous nephew, I seem to have guessed your intentions...... It's nothing more than an inexplicable thing about your father's repeated endurance. Zhang Gu said with a smile.

Wu Yu sighed secretly and was in awe: "Uncle Zhang deserves the title of a think tank, and he really deserves his reputation, and he can be guessed at the right time." ”

"It's nothing!" Zhang Gu shook his head with a smile: "The virtuous nephew has been angry a lot recently, but your father has sat idly by, and the virtuous nephew has some doubts and indignation in his heart after all. ”

Wu Yu said: "That's what it means!" It's just that my father is tired today, so let me come and ask you. ”

Zhang Gu nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Although it is inexplicable that there are thirty or forty thousand brave soldiers in his hands, even the Xihu Iron Cavalry is fearful, but your father can't bear it, but it is not because he is afraid of him, but because of the interests involved." ”

Wu Yu sighed and wondered, "What interests?" Please also ask Uncle Zhang for details! ”

"Virtuous nephew, the following words only come out of my mouth, and enter your ears, be careful!" Zhang Gu said, and after seeing Wu Yu nodding heavily, he took a deep breath and continued: "Among the confiscated assets of Shen Qinghe, there is a high-grade iron mine, on the surface, this iron mine is also confiscated and state-owned, but the actual situation is that it is secretly controlled by us, except for a small amount of iron that is registered and sent to the treasury, waiting for the imperial court to receive it, and most of the rest of the refined iron is used to do business with the Western Hudong Royal Court, that is, the Western Wusha Khanate. ”

Wu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then said in shock: "Uncle Zhang, you are joking!" Not to mention anything else, such a huge iron ore also needs at least a dozen carts to transport, and it is impossible to escape the inspection of the guards of Qinglong Pass in the first place. Moreover, even if you are lucky enough to get out of Qinglong Pass, you have to go all the way north to the border, either to cross the desert, or to pass through the only trail at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Qinglong Mountain, how can you avoid the beacon towers on the mountain range? ”

Zhang Gu smiled: "Theoretically, according to what you said, it is estimated that it is difficult not to be discovered!" But...... What if someone in Qinglong Pass secretly helps? ”

Wu Yu said categorically: "This is impossible! Inexplicably, he has been working against us openly and secretly, and the people of Qinglong Pass swear allegiance to the death inexplicably, how can they help each other! ”

"There are no absolutes...... Virtuous nephew, you have to understand one thing, there is no loyalty in this world, it's just that the bargaining chips for betrayal are not high enough, and if you face a huge and irresistible temptation, you can still benefit your heart. After Zhang Gu smiled mysteriously, he didn't sell it, and said again: "Of course, that inexplicably is indeed a resolute person, but unfortunately, not all the generals under his command are like this...... Inexplicably, two of the six generals under his command couldn't withstand the benefits we provided, and secretly chose to cooperate with us. ”

Wu Yu frowned and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "Could it be that it is not easy to go out to patrol the border with Zhao Duoxing?!" ”

"The virtuous nephew is also smart...... The profit that can be made by a fine iron is very huge, and Qian Zhao and the others failed to resist this temptation in the end, roughly calculated, even if we share the account with them, the money we get is far higher than the wealth we have worked hard over the years. Zhang Gu praised Wu Yu and explained: "On the day when Jingtie came out of the customs, the two generals Qian and Zhao changed the guards of Qinglong Pass in advance and replaced their own henchmen, which naturally easily avoided the inspection. Then, the wagons carrying the goods were mixed in with their patrols, and there was no doubt about the beacon tower on the mountain......"

Wu Yu suddenly opened his mouth after hearing this, but frowned again and said: "According to the provisions of the Great Win Law, Jingtie is not allowed to leave the country, especially not to enter the hands of the Eastern and Western Wusha Khanate and the Great Qi regime established by the rebel general Wan Qiying. You don't have to think about it to know that they will use fine iron to forge sharp weapons to deal with us and win a big win, and the first to bear the brunt is Qingcheng under our jurisdiction, which is not only lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, but also a big crime of collaborating with the enemy to betray the country and destroy the family, and will be scolded by the world in the next life! ”

"Spit? Hehe..."Zhang Gu looked at the void with deep eyes, and muttered: "As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!" ”

Wu Yu didn't say anything, just listened silently.

Zhang Gu turned around and looked at Wu Yu sharply: "Lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot?" No, no. Hu Ren killed him, and naturally led the Qinglong Armor to resist inexplicably, what does it matter to us? ”

"This ......"

"Nephew, don't you understand what your father means until now?" Zhang Gu patted Wu Yu on the shoulder: "If your father is completely against the inexplicable, the relationship between the two sides must be like fire and water, then the two generals of Qian and Zhao are still inexplicable subordinates after all, and they will carefully weigh whether they want to continue to cooperate with us, and this money will not be able to be earned, this is one of them."

The soldiers of Qinglong Pass are the primary force to deter the East Wusha, and since they have inexplicably guarded this place, they have fought nearly 100 battles with the East Wusha, but the iron cavalry of the East Wusha has never crossed the Qinglong Pass a step, and Qingcheng is naturally very safe. It's just that... Since there is a war, people will die, and sooner or later the Qinglong Armor will slowly be exhausted, until it is weak, and then your father will lead the army to directly destroy the inexplicable remnants and quell the rebellion for the imperial court, which is another great achievement, this is the second. ”

Wu Yu rode and said: "My father is just a county order, where is the military power?" ”

Zhang Gu smiled: "Your father's killer weapon is a secret decree of the Queen Mother, which can control the Liangzhou army when necessary......"

At this moment, Wu Yu finally came to his senses, but he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he slowly swallowed: "It's really poisonous...... Coup! ”

"What the virtuous nephew wants to say is - poison plan!" Zhang Gu said disapprerovingly: "People come to this world once, and they only live for a lifetime, so they naturally have to enjoy it comfortably and happily, how can they be comfortable?" Nature is money! Virtuous nephew, you are now worry-free and happy, but you are still far from a truly rich family.

For example, the four wealthy businessmen and giants of Huaiyang who partnered to establish Jiangnan Qianzhuang, which one is not a rich country, only to say that there are thousands of slaves in the Xia family alone, and even the treatment of these slaves is also fresh clothes and delicacies. If you think about it, the servants are still wearing Qiluo and pearls, and the young ladies of ordinary big families are afraid that they can't compare. There is also the daughter of the Xia family, it is said that she received 100,000 taels of silver for the New Year's money, tsk.....

For another example, Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in the world, not to mention how splendid his Kyoto mansion is, is that the Yuanbao Qianzhuang branches that he scattered all over the country are all built with high-quality rosewood or golden silk nanmu. It is rumored that when he was showing off his wealth in front of His Majesty today, he said, 'Your Majesty please tie a tree in Nanshan with a silk, and the tree in Nanshan is exhausted, and the minister's silk is not poor.' His Majesty sighed afterwards - I heard that the richest is rivaled, the most expensive in the world, and the richest in the world. ”

As soon as Zhang Gu spoke, Wu Yu was enthusiastic when he heard it, his eyes showed infinite longing, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a cold smile, and he shouted: "Yes, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, this world is so realistic!" As long as you are happy at the moment, no matter what the infamy behind it is, at that time we are all dead, and it is not painful for the world to scold us. ”

Zhang Gu was silent, but after glancing at Wu Yu, the two of them each showed ugly and dark smiles.

……

On Qinglong Mountain, in the inexplicable study.

Mo Fei handed the general's token to his father, who was reading a document with a slight frown, and whispered, "Father, is something wrong?" ”

"Fengzi is here to report, the troops of the East Royal Court have been wandering in Mobei recently!" After saying it inexplicably, he glanced up at Mo Fei, and added with a smile: "This time it's true!" ”

In fact, after Mo Fei just entered the door and saw his father's expression, he had already determined that something was wrong, he thought about it and replied: "Since defeating their invasion last time, the two sides have been at peace for a long time, and now they are suddenly moving again, but they have been lingering without attacking, it is a little strange...... Maybe Dongwusha is just like us, just sending troops to patrol the border? Or is it to lure us into attacking? ”

Inexplicably: "Both are possible, but they often choose this season of autumn high horses and fat, and suddenly attack, and the autumn grain has just been harvested on the land we have won...... In any case, it is not to be taken lightly, otherwise the people will suffer. ”

Mo Fei suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "The two uncles Qian and Zhao are leading troops to patrol the border, will it be dangerous?" ”

Shaking his head inexplicably: "That's not going to happen, they should be on their way back now, and they should be able to return to the pass in the next few days." After saying it inexplicably, he paused, picked up the general's token in front of him, and said with a smile: "You really carried a coffin to Wu Zhihe's mansion?" ”

Mo Fei nodded: "If it weren't for my father's explanation, I would have beaten Wu Yu on the spot." ”

Inexplicably smiled bitterly: "Fei'er, this is not good, Wu Zhihe's background scares you a little when he says it." ”

Mo Fei patted his chest: "Father, the child is ready, let the storm come more violently!" ”

"Today's Queen Mother's surname is Wu!"

"I'll go..."

"Wu Zhihe is the distant nephew of the Queen Mother!"

"I'll..."

looked at Mo Fei inexplicably, and said earnestly: "Fei'er, above the court today, the Wu family's relatives are majestic, and everyone is afraid!" You can wantonly humiliate Wu Zhihe's father and son, but because of his father's special situation now, he is someone else, and he dares to be rude to the Wu clan, and his nine lives are not enough to play. ”

Mo Fei whispered: "That child's previous actions... Doesn't it make it a little difficult for my father? ”

Inexplicably arrogantly said: "That's not it, as long as you don't shout at the father and son, you can just look at the rest!" ”

Mo Fei was silent for a moment and blurted out: "Since my father said it, I will carry another coffin to the county government office after tomorrow!" ”

Inexplicably, I was so shocked that I almost slammed my jaw on the table: "Uh...... It's too bad! ”

Mo Fei smiled slightly: "Don't worry, father!" After all the things that need to be done are done, the children will focus on the business in the future, as long as they don't provoke the children, the children will naturally not provoke them! ”

Inexplicably relieved, and then he didn't have time to think: "Business has to be done, but learning and cultivation can't be delayed either, remember!" ”

Mo Fei nodded, and after chatting with his father for a while, he turned to leave.
