Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance at this Qin Luo: "Oh, it seems that Shopkeeper Qin is an understanding person!" ”

Qin Luo said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie, the world where we are located is the world of the Ming Dynasty after all, the adults have spoken, and the villains naturally have to follow." Those people are so used to being arrogant and domineering that the court officials don't pay attention to them anymore, they are not young, and they are still good people with their tails between them. ”

Xu Liangyin said: "This is to the point, okay, you can leave for Nanjing tomorrow, and after you report to your home in Nanjing, someone will naturally entertain you." ”

Qin Luo put a stack of Daming treasure banknotes on the table without a trace, and tapped it lightly with the fingertips of a few fingers: "It's a little meaning, it's not a respect, I'm going to say goodbye." ”

With that, he stood up and arched his hand at the two of them, turned and left.

Xu Liang suddenly said loudly: "Shopkeeper Qin stays!" ”

Qin Luo turned his head, his face full of surprise: "What else does Lord Xu command?" ”

Xu Liang strode forward, grabbed the treasure money on the table and stuffed it into Qin Luo's hand: "The shopkeeper Qin is gracious, the general has received it, if this was before, the general would have accepted it, but now it is different from the past, this money would never dare to ask for it." For the sake of these silvers, Ben Jiang can also remind the shopkeeper Qin that when you arrive in Nanjing, if someone puts forward conditions to you, no matter what the conditions are, the shopkeeper Qin had better agree. ”

Qin Luo nodded, stuffed the treasure money into his arms, and left silently.

He is a smart person, and he is a smart person who has read books, he knows what to ask and what not to ask, and it is not easy for Xu Liang to say that sentence for the sake of the three thousand taels of Ming treasure banknotes.

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere here, several seamers over there gathered in Guo Hansheng's house after leaving Chen Dafu's mansion. Xu Liang's arrival this time surprised them, and at the same time, some of Xu Liang's words and certain requirements also made them smell dangerous.

The maritime merchants led by Guo Hansheng advanced and retreated together every time, but this time Chen Dafu's withdrawal and Qin Luo's backlash made several people uneasy. Especially Guo Hansheng, while worrying in his heart, there is also the anger of Chen Dafu and Qin Luo.

The reason why these maritime merchants have sometimes turned a blind eye to even the imperial court in recent years is that they have thousands of family fortunes while also controlling the livelihood of the people in several coastal areas, and the most difficult thing for the imperial court is that they advance and retreat together and trust each other very much.

At this point, whether it is the merchants of other dynasties in history or the later generations in which Zhang Ru lived, basically no one can compare with the maritime merchants of this era.

After coming out of Chen Dafu's mansion, Guo Hansheng and others gathered together, Guo Hansheng didn't wait for everyone to sit down and began to ask countermeasures: "Let's talk about it!" Today, Xu Liang's unexpectedly tough spirit, who is behind this, and what are they going to do. ”

Yang Yiyu said: "The person surnamed Xu is not good, and the little boy did not send a letter, so it is very likely that Wei Guogong is going to do something to us." ”

Guo Hansheng's eyes narrowed: "If it is really Wei Guogong, it will be easy to do, the amount of silver that his son has taken from us over the years is not a small amount." Even if the imperial court is not to blame in the past, without our offerings, he is so big that thousands of people in the Guogong Mansion have to feed, and he drinks the northwest wind. ”

"What do you mean?" Shanxi businessman Zhao Bingrui asked.

Guo Hansheng said coldly: "I'm afraid that the imperial court has put pressure on Wei Guogong, and Nanjing has already taken down the little prince." If that's the case, we're in real trouble. ”

The other Hui merchant obviously didn't have the courage of Guo Hansheng, he trembled, and his expression instantly became a little flustered: "Then what should we do?" ”

Guo Hansheng said: "For today's plan, there are only two ways, either to bow down with the surname Xu and honestly go to Nanjing to let others take care of it; Either mobilize the people below to prepare to resist, whether it is the imperial court or the envoy of the Guogong Mansion, those who know each other will be entertained, and those who don't know each other will come and kill one by one. ”

"Lao Guo, you're trying to create a law!" Yang Yiyu's face changed greatly, he was just a businessman, not a duty, but he didn't dare to do such a rebellious thing.

Guo Hansheng snorted coldly: "What kind of rebellion, let's do our business well, we didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, so many people are doing it, why does the imperial court pay special attention to us." Is the court unkind and unrighteous first, could it be that we can't even resist? You have accumulated a lot of wealth in your family, if you are really exterminated by those black-hearted officials of the imperial court, do you think it is worth it? ”

Zhao Bingrui said with a smile: "Lao Guo, don't be angry, you don't know what Lao Yu's character is, he will panic when he encounters something." Lao Yang didn't dare to do it, I did it with you, there are so many sailors, so many people in the southeast coast, I don't believe that the imperial court can do this. ”

Guo Hansheng showed a smile: "Don't worry, we are all people in the same boat, whether you want to follow or not, as long as you don't fall to the court, Guo will definitely not let you suffer." If anyone thinks we are bold, then you can go directly to Nanjing, and there is no need to worry about us. ”

Yang Yiyu gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly, if there is a big mess and the imperial court sends troops to encircle and suppress it, our life may not be easy." ”

Guo Hansheng said fiercely: "If the imperial court really wants to tear its face regardless of it, it will be a big deal." There are countless islands in the sea, and there are also many islands we operate, so the way out is not a problem for us at all. If you've decided, you can go back and prepare now. ”

The other people looked at each other, and finally said firmly: "Okay, **** mother!" ”

After the others left, Guo Hansheng entered his own small courtyard, which was only qualified for him to enter, that is, cleaning, which he personally cleaned.

There is a bedroom and a study in the small courtyard, and whenever Guo Hansheng has something that he can't decide, he will come here to think about it carefully. It can be said that this yard is his haven from the wind.

But today, the light is on in the study in the small courtyard.

Guo Hansheng walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked left and right, opened the courtyard door and walked in, and then went straight to the study.

"Knock knock!"

The knock on the door woke up the person reading the book inside, and the man grabbed the dagger on the table, blew out the oil lamp at the first time, and tiptoed to the door: "Who! ”

Guo Hansheng's voice came from outside: "It's me!" ”

The person inside breathed a sigh of relief, and after opening the door, he took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit the oil lamp again: "How is it?" ”

Guo Hansheng sighed: "What the master said is really right, the person surnamed Zhang should have arrived in Nanjing, and he has already decided to attack the maritime merchants in the coastal area." ”

Standing opposite Guo Hansheng, a young man with a handsome face, he was wearing an off-white robe, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist was not ordinary at first glance, and even the dagger he put down was inlaid with a lot of gems.

The young man said lightly: "I have already learned Zhang Wenxuan's methods, otherwise I would not have come to you in person this time." Remember, no matter what, you can't let those maritime merchants compromise with the court, and once you compromise, your life will definitely not be easy in the future. ”

"Don't worry, the little one knows what to do." Guo Hansheng said very respectfully.

At this time, Guo Hansheng had completely lost the domineering spirit he had faced with those maritime merchants before, and in front of this young man, he was like a servant.

"Did anyone from Nanjing send a message? Xu Huaiyuan can still be used, we can't clash head-on with Zhang Wenxuan, but he can. The young man sat down and rubbed the wrench on his right thumb.

Guo Hansheng didn't dare to sit down, stood there with his head down, clasped his hands tightly together, and said carefully: "Little incompetent, there is no news from Nanjing for the time being, and the people sent out have not returned." ”

The young man said lightly: "Fujian is not close to Nanjing, and you can't blame you for the fact that the news over there was not sent back in time." Let's go back! According to the original plan, as long as your attitude is tough enough, even Zhang Wenxuan will not dare to provoke easily. Those who can't work together, clean it up as soon as possible, and if it's not convenient for you to do it, I'll have someone do it. ”

Guo Hansheng said: "Master, others are easy to handle, but Qin Luo and Chen Dafu are both people with big families, and it is very difficult to take down these two people with a small hand." In case it is not good if it shows the horse's feet and spoils the big thing of the adults. ”

The young man nodded and said, "Well, you have thought it through, so be it!" Let your people not make any moves for the time being, or my people should be able to come over in a few days, and when the time comes, they will use their families to make a fuss, and see if they dare to break away from us. ”

Guo Hansheng bowed down and said, "The little one retires, and the master rests early." ”

The young man waved his hand: "Go! The silver that should be sent to the capital, find time to send it over, don't look for Steward Rao this time, I will naturally arrange someone to hand it over to you. ”

"Master, Mo Fei." Guo Hansheng had a lot of words.

The young man immediately said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, knowing too much will not do you any good." Let all the people on Qingshan Island prepare me and be ready to attack those little maritime merchants at any time. After making them drink the soup for so long for so many years, it's time to collect some interest. ”

"Little obedience!" This time, Guo Hansheng didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he cautiously exited the study and closed the door with his hand.

The young man squinted at the glowing oil lamp, a playful smile on his lips, and suddenly, he grabbed the dagger encrusted with gems on the table and slashed at the oil lamp, the soybean-sized light was crushed by the cold air on the dagger before it could touch the wick.

In the dark, I don't know when the young man's hand has already grasped the blade of the dagger, blood flows from his fingers, and the young man's cold voice comes from the darkness: "Zhang Wenxuan, this time I want to see how you hide!" ”
