Chapter 21
Zhao Jiuxiong's face changed, and he stretched out his hand towards Yang Chengzu, "Master, this matter is very important, let's not be so hasty." How about we take a step to talk? He pointed to the private room with his hand, and Song Guoliang said: "Brother Yang, be careful of deception." ”
"Brother Guoliang, you are too worried. Zhao Jiuye is a person on the scene, how can he do something that is not exquisite? I'll talk to the Ninth Master, you stay here, what you want to eat and drink, just give orders, and record it in the account of Jinyiwei. ”
The two entered the private room one after the other, Zhao Jiuxiong personally made a pot of fragrant tea, and personally went out to bring four plates of dim sum and put them away, and then said with a smile: "Master, I, Zhao Jiuxiong, am a rough person and can't speak, don't be surprised." Yesterday, I also heard a sloppy incident, I don't know which enemy actually framed me, saying that I had dealings with those people. O conscience of heaven and earth, I have never met those bandits at all, when did I become an accomplice? We do have a lot of people in the Cao Gang, and it is inevitable that the flow of character is complicated, but I dare to say that there is not a single thief who kills officials and rebels like this. ”
"Yes, I would like to believe that all the good people in your gang are. But you have to be considerate and considerate of me, don't you? The expression on Yang Chengzu's face was as sincere as he was, and he looked like he couldn't help himself
"Ninth Master, you also know, I am a worker, not a commander, a commander, not even a thousand households. After being explained by others, do I dare not do it? That confession is handed over, if I say I didn't check it, do you think Song Ye's side will spare me? ”
The Cao Gang has its own backers in the imperial court, but their backers are mainly the Governor of Fengyang, and they have little to do with the brocade system. For example, Jiang Bin, the Cao Gang General Altar will not be short of filial piety, but that filial piety belongs to the Cao Gang General Altar, not to the local branch altar. Just as the management of the general altar is insufficient, the relationship between the general altar and the sub-altar is not so convenient.
Moreover, Jiang Bin is greedy for money, and he will definitely accept it if he is filial, but no one can say how much he can help. The key to this matter is that Yang Chengzu occupies a rational word, and no one can say a word, and if there is a prisoner's confession but he is not allowed to investigate, who can announce it. Zhao Jiuxiong is the leader of Huazhou, not the leader of Henan, if you want to alarm Song Zhaonan, it has to be the leader of the Cao Gang Henan Branch helmsman in Longmen, he is a little bit worse.
But to use that dragon head helmsman, I don't know how much price to pay. This place in Huazhou is very fat, I don't know how many people are staring at it, maybe when I look for the dragon head, I will die worse than if I fall into the hands of the government.
He had no choice but to say with a smile: "Young Master Yang, this is an official with a private interest, and if it is private, there is a disadvantage." The villain also knows that if you enter the public door with one word, you can't pull it out. But for the sake of my friendship with the old man at the beginning, I hope that the little master will help me change this confession. ”
As he spoke, he had already pushed a silver bag over, "It happened suddenly, and the amount you have on your body is limited, so don't be too little." After three or five years, I will arrange for someone to send you to your home to ensure that the numbers satisfy you. ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Chengzu didn't take his silver bag, but looked at him with a sneer. "Ninth Master, you are worthy of being an old-timer in the rivers and lakes, this soft knife is not ambiguous, are you reminding me, do you know my home? I'm telling you, you're also a family man. The ninth master has thousands of furniture, and there are so many people in the family, compared to my family of orphans and widows, it is so strong that it is heavenly. If someone in my house stirs up, then I'm sorry, and I'm going to have to pay for whom. If something happens to your mansion at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
When he said this, he slapped the table violently, and his eyes were full of murderous energy, which actually scared Zhao Jiuxiong, and the silver bag was swept to the ground. It is said that Zhao Jiuxiong is also a ruthless person who has been mixed on the street, so he will not be so unhelpful. But after all, he is the master who has gone ashore to wash his white, living and moving his body, nourishing and moving his qi, and the blood and courage of the year have long been consumed.
Yang Chengzu had just experienced a tearing up yesterday and had already adapted to the discomfort after the killing, and at the same time, the unique murderous aura that had been killed had initially formed. This murderous aura is similar to the temperament of the veteran soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, and their gestures are different from ordinary people, so it is not to blame Zhao Jiuxiong for being cold.
He has a family and a job, a son and a daughter, and an aunt and wife, is he committing a crime of playing with others? The so-called older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is, he is the kind of person. If you want something, you won't have the courage to fight hard. It's just that he can't figure it out, he has already promised to give money, why is this Yang Chengzu still endless, but he has turned his face?
He hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding." I really didn't mean that, how could I do that? Don't worry, if someone from the Cao Gang dares to go to your house to make trouble, you will kill my whole house, this will be fine. I'm a rough man, I don't have a good brain, can you show me the way? What the hell is going on to make you let me go this time. If the boat on this dock is checked by you a few times, I won't do this business, and the Cao Gang won't be able to tolerate me. ”
When Yang Chengzu heard him say this, he turned his anger into joy, picked up the tea bowl, and gently beat the tea leaves in the bowl with the bowl lid. "Ninth Master, you don't need to beat the drum hard, this confession, just a thought of it, whether I destroy this confession or hand it over, it depends on what you do. This Caoyun wharf is getting into gold every day, fat flowing oil, our Jinyi Wei is hungry and about to eat, do you think, is this appropriate? Since I made this little flag, I have to find a job for the old and young masters in Weili, right? Fortunately, I am now a little richer, I have made a sum of money, and I want to learn to do some business, and I will join your gang. I don't care how you run it when the time comes, I just pay dividends on a monthly basis, and I don't care about anything else. If someone wants to find trouble with your Cao Gang, I, Yang, was the first to have a big ear scraper to pump him, do you think this deal is not a loss? ”
Only then did Zhao Jiuxiong understand that these boys had been making trouble for a long time to come to occupy the heroic shares of their own docks. He couldn't help but be angry in his heart, he was really old, and his prestige faded. When I was young, I relied on this method, and I didn't slander people, why was I slandered today? How bold are these people, dare to come and eat their own dry stocks, aren't they worried about the weight?
He naturally didn't believe that Yang Chengzu would take out real money to buy shares, that was a fool's business, he just put on a name and collected a protection fee from himself. It's normal for the Cao Gang to pay protection money, but they can't arrest anyone who pays, and even the Yamen of Huaxian County don't dare to collect their own money.
"Young Master Yang, I think you may be young, and you don't understand some things clearly." Zhao Jiuxiong's tone gradually hardened: "My Cao Gang has always been doing well, and those who have more funds go to open other businesses, and they never need others to invest in shares." Besides, my Cao Gang also has its own major shareholders, and several big men in the court have shares in the gang. Take our Henan as an example, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Pujing is the largest shareholder of our Henan Cao Gang. Shaolin Temple is wealthy, there are endless gold and silver in the temple, do you think there is such a major shareholder, do we still need to find other shareholders? My small Huaxian wharf is nothing, and my Zhao Laojiu is nothing. But Master Guangzhao, that is a great virtue of Buddhism, his old man can't see the chaos of the dock the most, if the master is not happy, Young Master Yang, you are afraid that it will not be easy to explain. ”
