Among the six joys, Zeng Liu is known for his light body kung fu and his actions are extremely fast. The temperament is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is silent on weekdays. When Yang Zhi was first assigned to the ministry, Zeng Liu said that he was tired of the lifeless wandering life and volunteered to stay by Linglong's side as a personal guard.

Since he came to the branch as a guard on the order of Linglong, he naturally would not leave the mansion, and Zeng Liu had already been found in a moment.

Zeng Liu was surprised and delighted when he saw Yang Zhi, and the folds on his dry and thin face almost smiled into a blooming chrysanthemum. Knowing that Yang Zhi didn't like to be bowed down to, he bowed his hand to the end and said, "Master Hou, I don't want to see you on the ground today!" You've been gone for more than half a year, but you're back! ”

Yang Zhi asked lightly: "I won't die in Chang'an, of course I will come back sooner or later." Brother Zeng, I don't want to see you when I see anyone here, how did I tell you that day? How could Linglong send you here? Has something changed at sea? ”

Zeng Liu heard Yang Zhi's tone was not good, and he defended aggrievedly: "Back to the Hou Ye, how dare the villain forget your advice?" You have wronged me. Since you left the island, there have been no major changes at sea. I remember that it was on June 26 that someone sent a letter to my wife. A few days later, my wife ordered me to come to Jinan to be a guard. I don't know who sent that letter or why I was sent here. However, the villain did not dare to disobey the order of the lady. At that time, you were far away in Chang'an, so you couldn't let me come to Chang'an and ask you to come again, right? ”

Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that there is nothing to do at sea." It's me who is too impatient, and I blame you. This is not the place you should be, come with me later. It just so happens that your second brother is also here, so you can get together these days. ”

Zeng Liu was immediately overjoyed: "What does Master Hou mean." Or take me back to sea? That's great! I ate and slept here, slept and ate. It's good, it's almost suffocating! ”

Yang Zhi had no intention of staying for a long time. Too lazy to talk to him. turned back to Su Ziming and said, "Brother Su, I also know a little about your past. I'm coming to Shandong this time, and you should know that I have another title on my head. If Brother Su has not lost his original intention, he can start looking for someone to take over the ministry. If you have a friend to recommend, you can send a letter to ask them to wait for me in Jinling. Be careful, all the costs are mine. Although Yang is not talented, he will not disappoint Brother Su. ”

Qin Kongyun heard it in a fog, but Su Ziming was like being struck by lightning. In the blink of an eye, there were tears in my eyes. knelt down in front of Yang Zhi, and kowtowed again and again: "Hou Ye's kindness and righteousness, although the villain dies, he can't repay it!" Master Hou, do you know that many brothers on the sea and the people living on Long Island now call you the Buddha of Ten Thousand Families? Do you know how many people have enshrined your tablet of immortality? can serve the Hou Ye, although the villain has no regrets in death! ”

Yang Zhi helped him up and comforted: "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." Fame is like money, but nothing outside the body. Brother Su is serious! Brother Su's confidant and friend can go to Jinling first, but you need to stay here at least until the new year. A smooth handover must be ensured. I think that the little guy who answered the door can be cultivated, Brother Su might as well pay attention to cultivation. ――I have other important matters with Brother Qin, so I will leave it at that. ”

immediately brought Zeng Liu, and made a semicolon with Qin Kongyun. Qin Kongyun had a lot of doubts in his heart. Due to Zeng Liu's presence, it was inconvenient to speak, so he had to hold back first. Next, go to the branch of the original Qin's grain store in Jinan. It's not so much to see, it's better to show your face with soy sauce. Qin's grain store changed hands. It is only known to a few core figures at the top of the grain bank. In fact, now Yang Zhi is powerless to take over, and suddenly announced that he has changed his boss. I am also afraid that it will cause fluctuations in the hearts of grain people for no reason.

The little ghost is difficult, and he has to see him after all. What's more, Hu Weizhi is the dignified prefect of Jinan, and Yang Zhi wants to act on the ground in Shandong from dark to light, and this local snake can't get around it no matter what. After returning to Qin's semicolon to eat and wash, Yang Zhi lay on the bed early, thinking about how to deal with Hu Weizhi tomorrow. And Linglong suddenly sent Zeng Liu to Jinan, which also made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

I was sorting out my thoughts, only to hear the door babble open. The only person who dared to push the door directly without being polite was Qin Kongyun: "Third brother, you have gone to bed to rest, why don't you lower the door bolt?" ”

Yang Zhi got up and said, "The lights are not extinguished, the clothes are not taken off, and the door is not bolted, which eye of yours sees me resting?" After a long day of travel and another afternoon, aren't you tired? Why don't you go to sleep yet? ”

Qin Kongyun sighed: "It is precisely because I have been tossing with you for an afternoon that I am present wherever you go." You are too unfathomable, I can't spit out some words and I can't sleep. ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "No wonder they all say that everyone has the heart of gossip." But as far as you, Senior Young Master Qin, are concerned, it shouldn't be! As long as you shouldn't ask about your old Qin family, when did you see me ask? ”

Qin Kongyun said curtly: "I'm just curious. If it involves secrets, I have my own measure. ”

Yang Zhi said generously: "Then ask!" It's better to be direct, though. ”

"You have always been cautious in employing people, and you never make promises lightly. Why is it unusual today? ”

"Are you blind? Don't you see that I need to hire people urgently? The foundation of Penglai and Changdao is not stable, and the fish and dragons are mixed, so it is not appropriate to transfer too many people. Your Qin clan is already a tree with deep roots, and naturally has a large number of people, how long has it been since I started from scratch? ”

"Today, since you are looking at the face of Ma's father-in-law, why did you give Ma Xing to Cao Yuncheng and Ma Zhou to Liu Er when you first met the Ma brothers?"

"It's simple. Cao Yuncheng was born in the forbidden army, experienced a mutiny and went to the inner court guard, and mixed up to the position of commander, although it was not a good errand to be on duty in the guard mansion, it was an important errand in the eyes of the emperor and Yan Fang. Such a person is very familiar with the rules of the game between the forbidden army and the inner court guards, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels is also handled well, and I will definitely not worry too much about getting involved in officialdom in the future. What he lacks is not brains and experience, but the manpower to actually carry out the work. Ma Xing is simple and honest, which is just right for him. Although Liu Er was born in the rivers and lakes, he was very addicted to officials, and he was arrogant because of his ability to protect his drivers, and he dealt with all kinds of businessmen and officials in the future, and it was very easy to act out of line. Ma Zhou replied shyly at the bottom, and he was reluctant to worship, undoubtedly admitting that he was burdened with humiliation, and he had a bit of a foundation for reading, so his mind should be relatively sober, which is equivalent to matching Liu Er with a think tank. ”

"In just a few words, you have so many famous names in your casual arrangement! …… What rules do you have for the Goldlion semicolon? ”

"First, hospitality. As long as you don't do it, let it spit on its own hands. Once hands-on. Be sure to put the other person to death. Second, only one order is taken every day. The turnover must be more than one million taels, and not a penny less. ”

"No wonder! The first one is easy to say, but the second is why? The semicolon is fully staffed, why don't you see the same goods? Anyway, you have to put a few samples to fill the façade, right? And although the turnover is huge, the profit is less than 30%. For Jinlilai, it's not too high. ”

"It's a shame that you're still from the richest man's family! Do you understand what a seller's market is? Do you understand what hunger marketing is? What's more, the semicolon has been opened for more than three months, and only 57 orders have been made, and there is only one order in almost every two days on average. If it is a cat and a dog, both large and small businesses are done. Wouldn't it become another Qin clan with a huge structure? Do you understand what a chain of interests is? If you don't set a threshold, you let those second-class dealers, third-way dealers, and small merchants drink the northwest wind? Sample? Do you think Goldlion is setting up a stall? What kind of goods are not available in Penglai and Jinan? They won't go to see it themselves? The profit is nearly 30%, you are still too little? Shipping costs are not included. How much is a pound of tea in Jiangnan worth? How much is it worth to be trafficked to Chang'an? ”

Qin Kongyun said stupidly: "You are right!" …… When did you verify your identity with Su Ziming? You've only said a few words to him in total, and you're not afraid to leak it to me? ”

Yang Zhi smiled proudly: "It involves my family's secrets, so I won't tell you!" What if it was leaked to you? I'm sure you won't even be able to figure it out if you try to break your head. ”

Regarding this section, no matter how curious Qin Kongyun was, it was inconvenient to get to the bottom of the entanglement.

Of course, Yang Zhi's confidence and pride are justified, and the mystery is all in the words "smoke and water". When Linglong risked death to send Yang Zhi out of Yanjing. The Xuanhuang jade given by Emperor Yan was given as a token of affection, and Yang Zhi has been wearing it close to his neck since then. This jade pendant is so delicate that it can be filled with water or blown smoke through a small hole. Emerge from another small hole. The so-called beautiful jade is flawless, and Yang Zhi did the opposite. When it is necessary to urgently call for human hands or a large amount of silver, the jade pendant can also be turned into a seal. To prevent counterfeiting. Yang Zhi and Linglong made an appointment somewhere in Yupei to artificially leave a trace. Although Su Ziming knew the method of verification, he had never seen the jade pendant for the time being. Even though Qin Kongyun is a half-immortal reincarnation. How can you imagine it?

After a smile, he asked, "Then when you leave." What did you mean by what you said to Su Ziming? ”

Yang Zhi said with emotion: "As the first person to be the shopkeeper of the first semicolon, it is natural to find out his details. Su Ziming was born as a Jinshi in Beiyan Kechang, and was exiled to Bazhou to serve as a county magistrate, and was later framed for accusing his boss of being greedy for ink. While he was unjustly imprisoned, his father died of grief. Before he could be released from prison to seek justice, Bazhou was captured by the Great Xia army. Su Ziming was infamous and fell to Penglai in the chaos. Frustrated, because Yingniang took a fancy to his talent, he was recruited to join the gang. Imagine how such a person would be willing to fall? He desperately longed for a chance to turn around and change his life one day, so I offered him such an opportunity. ”

Qin Kongyun sighed: "Such a person can use it, it is easy to use, and he will definitely die for you!" You will go to see the prefect Hu Weizhi tomorrow, what is the charter? Do you want me to go with you? ”

Yang Zhi replied: "I was thinking about this just now. I don't know who this person is, I don't know if he is a true official or a hypocrite. As the saying goes, officials crush people to death at the first level, and for the time being, it is a situation where they don't ask for each other, just say hello to the official face and get acquainted with each other. In this case, there is no need to cause trouble, it is better to simplify the complicated and use officials against officials. You are clothed in white clothes, if you go with you, won't your identity be embarrassing? ”

Qin Kongyun was puzzled and said, "Then what do you need to think about?" ”

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "The emperor regards Shandong as a national capital and wealth, and puts Hu Weizhi in the position of the prefect of Jinan, at least half of the reason is that he is regarded as a demon beast, to a large extent, to prevent me from messing around." The emperor is familiar with my style and ability, although Hu Weizhi's reputation is not very well-known, but if he is incompetent, how can he be so important? ”

"Whether it's a true official or a hypocrite, both of these people are easy to deal with. Hu Weizhi can be valued by the emperor, praised and loved by the people, and can be accessible. Do you think such people are easy to deal with? I don't know if you have heard of such a sentence: Corrupt officials must be traitorous, but clean officials are not the most traitorous, only more traitorous! Do Qing officials deserve to suffer and live a hard life? deserves to be aggrieved and wronged, waiting for the worthless afterthought of Zhaoxue? What would rather bend than bend, what will be famous in history, and what can it say? It can only show that he not only failed to fight the corrupt officials, but also failed to protect himself! Don't underestimate this Hu Weizhi, it's really not simple! (To be continued......)
