Chapter 284: A Pure Transaction (Part II)

Zhao Guanhou did not say anything, but sat on the hardwood bed and looked around, "We have a saying in Jinguo, it is called blood is thicker than water, I don't understand, what good is it for you to try to murder your cousin." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just because he is a lancer company commander and you are only a hussar company commander? The contradictions between the arms have reached such a big point? ”

Alyosha shook her head: "You don't understand...... You will never know what kind of family I live in. My father was not the eldest son, so he was always suppressed, and when I grew up, Mihai was always on top of me again. He is taller than me, stronger than me, more powerful than me. Even as a soldier, he can wear that iron armor as a lancer, while I can only be a hussar because I can't pass the physical examination. I was laughed at by him for two months because of this, and every time he saw me, he would say, oh look, our poor Alyosha, he is so thin that he was brushed off during the medical examination, and we have to protect him. That's my cousin. ”

He drank the remaining half of the wine, "From childhood to adulthood, I have been his follower, in his eyes, I can only be regarded as a follower, a messenger, and I can't be regarded as a nobleman at all." He gave me the estate, including the serfs on it, but I deserved it, and I deserved more. Just because he was an older brother, and because he was stronger than me, my fiancΓ©e became his woman, and I pursued her hard for six months, and he, after meeting him a few times, slept with her. After that, in less than a month, he abandoned her again, patted me on the shoulder and said, little Alyosha, what are you sad about, you see, I gave her back to you, didn't I? In his eyes, I can only accept what he doesn't want, snacks, old toys, and tired women! ”

"And titles and domains." Zhao Guanhou said coldly, in the previous life, he didn't know how much he had seen this kind of wealthy family grievances, and even once he and Monica were hired by three people to kill their competitors for them, and finally led to the killing of all the heirs of this generation. As soon as Alyosha said it, he knew what was going on.

Sure enough, Alyosha nodded, "Before the expedition, my grandfather's health was already very bad, and this time he lost a son, if he loses another grandson, he will definitely not be able to withstand this blow." God willing, it is time for him to serve the merciful Lord after he has lived too long. But you see, if Mihai were alive, I would still be his cousin and continue to receive what was left of him. So I want him to disappear, forever! ”

"No kidding, I'll be in trouble if an earl's grandson dies in my prisoner of war camp."

"I will testify for you that Mihai's death was solely due to an accident caused by his attempt to escape, which has nothing to do with your country. I can always provide written evidence or testify in person. I can also prove that it was his own physical reasons that caused him to not escape the grasp of death. ”

"Well, assuming what you say is true, then what good can I get? Inexplicably help you kill people, this is not on the battlefield. ”

Alyosha excitedly unbuttoned the button around her neck, "Are you willing to help?" This is really happy news for me. Listen, I'll give you the benefits. A couple of Tiele girls, a chunk of money, or two manors, and everything on the manor? Oh, let me think again, it must be Gerth who is presiding over the peace talks now. His secretary has a bit of a friendship with my father, and if I write a letter, he will definitely help you mediate. ”

"It's not to help us, but to help me, and this relationship must be clarified. Also, I want you to write a letter proving that you murdered your cousin Mihai. Don't try to play tricks, because after you write it, I'll show it to Mihai, and if you do, I'll help him kill you. This is my turf, and it's easy to settle anyone. ”

Alyosha hesitated for a moment, "I...... I'm going to write this? You know, once this thing is outflowed......"

"It's going to stay with me, as long as I don't have a problem with it, and no one will see it. If anyone tries to plot against me, or tries to settle the bill, you have to bury me. Understood, my Earl. ”

At dawn the next day, Zhao Guanhou was holding Su Hanzhi and talking to her, Feng Xi pushed the door open. Although she didn't have a room, this kind of thing was no longer strange, so she turned her head and said, "Master...... The big thing is not good, there is news from the foreign devil camp that a foreign devil has died. is still a big official, and also, Zhao Shu Zhao's mansion also came to beg, saying that Lord Zhao is in good health, he will not die after eating gold dust, and he will not die after eating smoke bubbles, please show mercy to the court and spare his life. ”

Su Hanzhi's face was tender, and as soon as Feng Xi saw it, she buried her head in Zhao Guanhou's arms, and when she heard the words, she also felt pitiful. "How many sins does a person have to suffer if he eats gold and cigarette bubbles, and still does he not die, Guanhou, do you want to talk to Lafayette?"

"Zhao Zhanru is as healthy as an ox on weekdays, and he is famous in the government and the opposition, this time he has a good physique, even if it kills him. He deserves to suffer a little more crimes, no matter how pitiful he is, he is not as pitiful as our fellow villagers who were brutalized by foreign soldiers. I won't help ask for this favor, he won't die, I'll help him die later, this is my old job. Fengxi, it's not the first time you've seen me like this, why are you still shy? Come here, wait for me to get dressed, I will go to Zhao Zhanru first, and then go to see the foreign devils. ”

Zhao Shu's death is already a certainty, and the Zhao family asks for their lives, hoping to open up the net and hope for a turnaround. How can it be a matter of foreigners, even if it is the Empress Dowager Cixi, there will be no way. Zhao Guanhou first helped Tongzong ascend to heaven, and then went to the prisoner of war camp to cook a little, and he was all found to be angry, and soon decided on the result of a violent pawn, wrote a book, and when he came to the general office of the national affairs yamen, he would talk about it in person.

The departure is imminent, and many of the civil and military guards in Jinan Mansion have sent posts to Zhao Guanhou and asked him to come over, in fact, they asked him to take a look at his industry in Beijing when he entered Beijing, and what the result was for his family members who were stranded in Beijing. At that time, the incident happened in a hurry, and many people had a lot of property left in Beijing, and now they are worried about whether they can recover it from the foreigners.

After entertaining these people, it was already noon, Zhao Guanhou came out of the mansion of a Beijing official, pulled the horse, and went all the way to the branch opened by Siheng in Jinan.

There is not much business in the bank, some people make deposits, some people withdraw money, and some people want to do foreign exchange. As soon as he said hello, a fellow hurried over to pick up the horse, and he went straight to the cabinet room. Dong Jun is still in Beijing, and what he runs in Shandong is the dowry maid of the old lady Dong, the beautiful woman Aunt Jin who is in the year of Huaxin.

She originally ran a Siheng branch in Texas, and the business in Jinan was newly opened and is still in charge of it. When Zhao Guanhou came in, she was holding a hookah and reading the accounts in the cabinet room with an abacus, because she was wearing a plain cheongsam during her husband's funeral, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. The guys knew that the proprietress had just lost her husband, and they were too far away to get closer.

Seeing that Zhao Guanhou was coming, Mrs. Jin got up with a smile and said, "My lord, why don't you say hello in advance, we can also prepare for the reception." What, today is to read the account? ”

"Your own people, you're welcome. I'm here to look at the books, and I'm going to use a sum of money. ”

"Then let's not talk about it here, but go to the treasury, where the bottom account and the money are there." The two of them came out of the closet room one after the other and went straight to the warehouse. This is a confidential place, where Siheng's bills, bottom accounts and cash are stored. The door was wrapped in iron chains, and a large lock was hung outside, and outside the storeroom were a dozen guards with fast guns. These people hold extremely high monthly salaries, and their loyalty is beyond reproach.

Madame Jin waved her hand, and the bodyguard opened the door and withdrew. When the two entered the warehouse, Mrs. Jin took it to the door. The lighting in the warehouse is good, and there are permanent lights, so there is no problem with the line of sight. As soon as the door was closed, Madame Jin immediately showed a smile on her face that the guys had never seen before. Two lotus arms hugged Guanhou's waist tightly from behind, and pressed his head against his back

"My lord, you really have no conscience, and you haven't come to see me for so long. Don't you know that if you are exposed to the cold, you will not meet people when you are just fed, but how can people live? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "There are so many strong guys in your store, are you afraid that no one will serve you?" Don't pour this rice soup on me, let's get down to business first, I'm going to Beijing this time, do you have anything to do, if you want me to tell Master Dong, I can bring you a letter. ”

"Do you want to enter Beijing? That dare is good, the slave family must let the adult bring a letter, saying that his good friend, a good shareholder of Siheng, took advantage of his father's bones to occupy his mother-in-law. Mrs. Jin said as she gently bit Zhao Guanhou's ear

"Good man, I really can't stand it, I can't find a guy for this kind of thing, and whoever I find will be worried about my family property and my business. When the time comes, the foundation will not be able to be saved. If you've never tasted that taste, it's easy to boil, but if you eat the taste, you are not allowed to touch it again, how can you bear it. These days, I'm struggling by myself, and I really can't stand it, so you can do it, give it to me. ”

Although Mrs. Jin is only in her early thirties this year, she is a bit beautiful. But between the two, it was originally only a strategic partnership, and even from Dong Jun, Mrs. Jin counted him as half an elder. Even Zhao Guanhou didn't expect that the relationship between the two would become like this.

Soon after Cixi lived in the governor's yamen, a large area of Daming Lake had been selected to start building the palace, and the original Shandong Xuezheng Yamen was incorporated into the scope of the palace, and the Xuezheng Yamen was built with a new purpose. In addition to withholding the required funds, the local officials are obliged to report the required funds.

Sheng Xingsun in Songjiang, one person took 100,000 taels of silver to repay the service, so that many officials secretly scolded him for being despicable and shameless. In addition to scolding bitterly, these officials also tried their best to come up with enough money to repay their official positions, and for a time, Shandong's financial industry was greatly prosperous, and Siheng's Shandong branch business was prosperous, and the business volume increased greatly.

The amount of money for the construction of the palace was very large, and Zhao Guanhou deposited all of them into Siheng's Shandong branch, which was regarded as injecting a fresh blood into Siheng, and the capital chain was not broken, and the business could be maintained. Therefore, this Mrs. Jin took Zhao Guanhou as a benefactor backer, and tried her best to welcome her, first preparing to send a few distant girls from the family to be small, and after failing to do so, she invited Zhao Guanhou to taste Shanxi cuisine in the name of being good at cooking. When Zhao Guanhou went to the appointment, he was drugged in the wine.

Zhao Guanhou is not an easy person, and he can see the problem in the wine at a glance, but Aunt Jin is not afraid, she simply breaks the jar and breaks it, unties her clothes, and lets you enjoy it. Seeing that this noble lady was willing to serve, Zhao Guanhou also took the attitude of eating wild game and happily gave in.

One of the two is looking for a moment of happiness, and the other is greedy for his young and strong appearance, handsome, and even more coveted his official position and power. With Mrs. Jin's eyes and judgment, she decided that the future of this young military attache was limitless, and if she fell next to him, she would not only be able to keep the foundation of the Four Hengs, but also make the money village bigger. Therefore, half out of his own heart, half out of commercial considerations, he gritted his teeth and sacrificed himself.

Today, the old dream is revisited, and it is another enthusiasm in this small tent. On this mahogany box, the right is a splendid curtain. When everything was over, Mrs. Jin closed her eyes tightly and hugged Zhao Guanhou with affection, ignoring the lack of a trace of her body. Fortunately, there is a ground dragon burning in the room, otherwise the two of them would have to freeze.

There was a look of enjoyment on her face, "You let me be comfortable for a while, I know that I am not worthy of you, and our relationship will not last long." But this thing is like smoking a big cigarette, you can't quit if you get it. Although I have been married, the old thing is half-dead, and there is a strange smell on it, and every time I get it, I can't get up or down, it's like being tortured. Ever since I met you, I have known what it is like to be a woman. With this experience, even if you die, it's worth it. ”

Zhao Guanhou whispered in her ear:

"I'm going to use fifty thousand silver tickets. 30,000 is my filial piety to King Qing, and 20,000 is your reward for the four constants. I have cash in my hand, but now I can use Siheng's silver ticket to help you maintain your reputation in the capital and tell everyone that Siheng is not bankrupt. This is also for your consideration. Also, I want you to write a letter to Dong Jun, telling him as a concubine that you are all living well in Shandong, and there is a great future here, so that he can move the foundation of Shanxi to Shandong. You are his concubine and his only elder, and you were told you couldn't do it. ”

At this time, Mrs. Jin was still in the aftertaste, but she saw Zhao Guanhou staring at her, her eyes were cold, like two sharp blades, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, as if in front of this little man, she had changed from Mrs. Jin back to the little maid Xiao Jin'er who could only obey orders and listen to the arrangements of others.
