Chapter 48 The head of the lonely family

The Dugu family suffered a heavy blow in the case of He Ruobi, who lived for four years, the head of the family, Dugu Luo, was reduced to the people, and the seventh brother Dugu was given to death. Templars,

Soon Dugu Luo also died of illness, he learned from the pain, for the future of the Dugu family, before his death, he made a major decision, the head of the Dugu family did not consider the concubine, lived as a capable person, and canceled his eldest son Dugu Hong's qualification to inherit the position of the head of the family.

It was also this decision that made the Dugu family unanimously elect Dugu Zhen as the new head of the family after repeated consultations, and Dugu Zhen is Dugu Xin's youngest son, and he is two years younger than Dugu Hong.

Dugu Zhen did not disappoint Dugu Luo, he judged the situation and realized the blow of the saint to the Guanlong nobles, he kept the Dugu family low-key, and did not allow anyone in the family to find trouble with Yang Yuanqing, and it was precisely in this way that the Dugu family escaped the continued purge of the Guanlong nobles by Emperor Yang Guang.

And this time the situation in the capital is chaotic, and food has become the most important weapon, seeing that he can use food weapons to beat Yang Yuanqing to the ground and give Dugu's family a bad breath, but Dugu Zhen is sober-minded, and he still decided to give up this opportunity to hit Yang Yuanqing.

He knew very well that this time was not an opportunity, there was an extremely dangerous undercurrent hidden in it, Yang Yuanqing held the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, his task was not to maintain stability, but to point the sword at King Qi, if the Dugu family rashly intervened, it would definitely suffer a heavy blow again.

He saw that although Duguqi was shrewd, his judgment of the political situation was still lacking, and he couldn't help but be slightly disappointed in his heart, something that he could not understand by saying it, but needed a little talent, Duguqi was no longer young, his thinking should have matured, but he still didn't understand, it could only mean that he was not a politician, he could only manage the family industry.

But as an elder and as the head of the family, Duguzhen felt that he had the responsibility to tell the younger generation something deep.

"Do you know what Yuan Shu came to me for just now?" Dugu Zhen looked at his nephew.

"My grandson doesn't know!"

"He is nominally here to tell me about the changes in the heir to the throne, but in fact, his real purpose is to hope that our Dugu family can stand up against Yang Yuanqing, and he even said that Yang Yuanqing killed Qin Hao was done by a simple-minded and reckless man, doesn't he really understand? No! He knew very well that Yang Yuanqing killed Qin Hao to seize power, but he still wanted to say this, his intention was to make me lower my understanding of risks. ”

Dugu Zhen just reacted, Yuan Shu was not extreme, but sinister, and wanted to push the Dugu family to the front to deal with Yang Yuanqing, but fortunately he interrupted the conversation in time, thinking about it made him a little afraid, the cunning Yuan Shu. Templars,

He took a deep look at Dugu Qi, and continued: "Do you think that the Yuan family does not have the ability to deal with Yang Yuanqing? The financial strength of the Yuan family is not weaker than ours, among those eagle Yang Lang generals in the East Palace's six rate mansions, the Yuan family has a son and a son-in-law, they have the strength to create incidents, such as the massacre of displaced people, etc., but they did not do that, Yuan Zhou was assassinated by Yang Yuanqing, Yuan Shangying was killed by Yang Yuanqing not long ago, such a deep hatred, they actually didn't make a move, they knew very well in their hearts, let us make a move in Dugu's family, success can hit Yang Yuanqing hard, failure can weaken our Dugu family, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, The Yuan family's intentions are sinister! ”

After speaking, Dugu Zhen let out a long sigh.

．．．．．．．

Dugu Qi said goodbye half-incomprehensibly, he understood a little, but he didn't understand very well, why didn't the Dugu family and the Yuan family dare to touch Yang Yuanqing now? The Dugu family obviously has a powerful food weapon, but it is just a warning, and it stops after tasting it.

He was appointed by his grandfather to observe Yang Yuanqing's movements and decide the actions of the Dugu family, but it was he who failed to observe and did not find the King of Jin hidden in the carriage, which finally made the Dugu family pay a heavy price.

It is this reason that Duguqi is very guilty of the family, and he hates Yang Yuanqing to the core, this time the food crisis, he is strongly advocating to do something to Yang Yuanqing, but the opposition of the head of the family makes him helpless, although Duguqi is still a little unconvinced, but he must obey the arrangement of the head of the family.

Duguqi's mansion is also located in Kuanzhengfang, which is his father's mansion, the house of Dugu's long house, Duguqi just walked out of the door, but he saw Yao Huan hurrying over.

"Childe!"

Yao Huan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I went to look for you just now and said that you haven't come back yet." ”

"Yang Yuanqing put pressure on you?" Duguqi guessed Yao Huan's intention.

"Yes, he wants to send troops to seal up all the grain shops, and threatens to kill me and force me to sell grain, Childe, I really can't help it."

"Damn it!" Duguqi scolded in a low voice. (，)

"Did you compromise in the end?" Duguqi sensed that the result was not good.

"I really didn't have a choice, so I was forced to agree to sell the food in the store."

"Now that you've decided, what are you coming to me for?"

Duguqi coldly dropped a sentence, turned around and went down the steps, got into the carriage, and ordered: "Go home!" ”

The carriage started and drove towards the mansion not far away, Yao Huan looked at the young master's carriage and walked away, and couldn't help sighing, the young master is good at everything, shrewd and capable, but he is too mean.

Duguqi's carriage soon stopped in front of his house, he walked up the steps, and casually asked the porter, "Are there any guests?" ”

"There are no guests, but Master Jiang is here."

Duguqi was stunned, what did he do?

The old man Jiang in the mouth of the gatehouse is actually Duguqi's father-in-law, named Jiang Yuan, Duguqi has a wife and four concubines, and Master Jiang is the father of one of the concubines.

Although the Jiang family is rich, its status is not high, and it was not until early last year that a beautiful daughter of the Jiang family married into the Dugu family as a concubine, and the Jiang family finally had a backer, status, and began to become strong.

Duguqi was not in a very good mood at this time, he didn't want to pay attention to this little father-in-law, and walked directly to the backyard, but as soon as he walked into the yard, his Jiang father-in-law stopped him.

"O virtuous son-in-law! I've got a problem and I need help. ”

Duguqi was very disgusted with this concubine's father-in-law, but he had to put on a respectful look, "What trouble did you encounter?" ”

"I received an invitation today, inviting me to Baibaolou for dinner the day after tomorrow."

Baibao Wine Shop is also the industry of the Dugu family, and Dugu frowned, "This is a good thing!" Just go. ”

"But... It's Yang Yuanqing's treat! ”

"Yang Yuanqing?"

Duguqi stopped, asked with some surprise, "Why did he invite you to dinner?" ”

"I was not invited to one, but to more than 1,000 wealthy families in the capital, and I was just one of them, but my invitation was No. 6, and I was also the person he paid attention to."

Jiang Yi took out an invitation card and handed it to Duguqi, sighed and said: "Everyone thinks that this is the Hongmen banquet, today I discussed it with dozens of big families, everyone means to boycott this banquet, and will never pay money and food for those robbers and outcasts, I can't make up my mind, so I come and ask the virtuous son-in-law, do you say I will go or not?" ”

Duguqi thought for a while and said: "If you can contact half of the rich businessmen, then you can not go, otherwise I advise you to go, as long as Yang Yuanqing does not do too much, it is actually fine." ”

"What if he goes too far?"

"If he does go too far, then everyone must unite to resist him, you are not outcasts, you are all figures with heads and faces in the capital, even if he is vicious, he will not easily move you, don't be too afraid."

Jiang Yi is the leader of the Longyou Township Party, and he wants to lead the Longyou family to resist, but he hopes to get the support of the Dugu family, so he specially came to find his son-in-law.

"What do you mean, can I do it?"

Duguqi's mind turned, if he couldn't come forward, it would be good to let his little father-in-law make trouble, in short, he couldn't make Yang Yuanqing so comfortable.

"You can do it, but don't do it alone, on the one hand, it is ineffective, and the risk is also great, you have to contact a group of people and resist it together, then it's different, anyway, I'm supporting you."

Jiang Yi was overjoyed, "I'm going to contact the township party!" ”

He gave a salute, turned around and hurried away, but he ignored a key question, is the support of his son-in-law and the support of the Dugu family the same thing?

Duguqi looked at his excited back and shook his head gently, he knew that his father-in-law was not reluctant to give up that little money and food, but that he was too good to be in the limelight, lest the world not know that he was the father-in-law of the Dugu family.

．．．．．．．

The next day, the next day, Yao Ji rice shop of the fourteen rice shops have been opened, just as yesterday's agreement, four hundred rice buckets, each person is limited to one bucket, the news quickly spread throughout the city, an endless stream of people with bags and baskets, respectively, rushed to each rice shop, soon, in front of each rice shop lined up several long lines, the army also dispatched, responsible for maintaining order.

Next to the door of Yongfeng Fangfang, there is also a Yao Ji rice shop, in the fourteen rice shops can only be regarded as the middle and lower, the shopkeeper surnamed Su, is a middle-aged man in his forties, early in the morning, he began to command the men to get busy, the rice shop soon lined up in front of thousands of people, the rice shop he managed only 3,000 stone grain storage, can cope with 30,000 grain buyers, but Su shopkeeper knows in his heart that his rice storage can only support two days at most.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you bring a little more rice from the rice warehouse outside the city?" One guy complained.

"Don't ask too much about the above things!" Shopkeeper Su reprimanded impatiently.

The guy didn't dare to say anything, and the shopkeeper Su himself was upset, obviously he had business to do, why didn't he adjust a little more rice?

"Shopkeeper Su! Someone is looking for it outside. "Someone called him at the door.

"Got it!"

Shopkeeper Su explained a few words and walked out, only to see a few young people on the other side of the street giving him their hands, and a gorgeous carriage parked next to him, as if there were nobles looking for him.

He walked up quickly and asked, "Who is looking for me?" ”

Two young men walked up behind him and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Su, please get in the car!" ”

Shopkeeper Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked sharply: "Who are you?" ”

Two young men grabbed him by the arm, one left and one right, and with great force, they pushed him into the carriage at once, and someone inside knocked him down, and the carriage sped away at once.

．．．．．．．

Shopkeeper Su was taken into a room, only to see a young officer sitting inside, he smiled slightly: "I am Yang Yuanqing, I heard that Shopkeeper Su has been working in Yao Ji Rice Shop for 20 years, so I would like to ask the shopkeeper one thing." ”

The person in front of him was actually Yang Yuanqing, and the shopkeeper Su was scared in his heart, and asked tremblingly: "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to know, where is the granary of Yao Ji Rice Store outside the city?"
