Chapter Forty-Nine
Chapter 49 Dry Fight Jade Silk
Fifteen miles southwest of Luoyang, there is a village called Chen Guanli, here is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, there is a big mansion covering an area of more than ten acres in the east of the village, a wall six feet high, there are more than a dozen vicious dogs in the house, there are dozens of guardians, although the mansion has never seen any master in and out, but almost all the people in the village know that this is a big warehouse, which stores at least more than 100,000 stone grain. Templars,
Nearly noon, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared on the official road outside the village, and the wind and lightning came, quickly surrounding this large warehouse, more than a dozen vicious dogs roared and rushed out, and were killed by a rain of arrows in an instant, and the soldiers smashed open the door and rushed into the ......
Seeing that the situation was critical, one of the guards on the periphery turned on his horse and galloped towards the city.....
Half an hour later, a carriage stopped in front of the Dugu main house, and Yao Huan, the proprietor of Yao Ji Mixing, almost rolled off the carriage and ran into the gate, shouting with a crying voice: "I ask to see the head of the house!" ”
In the study, Dugu Zhen was sitting at the table reading a book, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the housekeeper said outside the door: "Master, Yao Huan asks to see, it seems that something big has happened?" ”
Dugu was stunned for a moment, even if something big happened, he should go to find a tool and find himself to do something?
He thought about it, and estimated that it was a big matter that the instrument couldn't solve, so he said, "Let him in!" ”
After a while, Yao Huan crawled in and shouted in panic: "Master, something is wrong!" ”
"Don't be so anxious, the sky hasn't fallen." Dugu Zhen was a little dissatisfied.
Yao Huan stabilized his mind, and then said hurriedly: "Master, I just got the news that our grain depot in Chenguanli has been occupied by the army, and there are 150,000 stone of grain in it. ”
"Why?"
Dugu Zhen's face sank and said: "My Dugu family didn't steal or rob, why did he Yang Yuanqing occupy my granary?" ”
"But master, that's not the granary of the Dugu family, it's the granary of Yao Ji Rice Shop."
Yao Huan lowered his head in fear, "I promised him yesterday that Yao Ji Rice only has 50,000 stone of grain in stock, and if he deceives the government, he is willing to be severely punished." Templar,"
Dugu Zhen frowned, this is a bit difficult to do, if you interfere, it is equivalent to admitting that Yao Ji Mixing is the industry of the Dugu family, although everyone knows some things in their hearts, but they just can't say it, once it is broken, it is not good to pretend to be confused.
But if the Dugu family doesn't care, Yang Yuanqing can unscrupulously clean up Yao Ji Mixing, and when he encounters the chaos in the capital, Yao Ji Mixing may really not be able to eat and go around, and he will be punished as a profiteer.
Just when Dugu Zhen was silent in thought, the housekeeper's nervous voice came from outside the door, "Master, Yang Yuanqing is here, ask to see Master!" ”
"Ahh
Dugu Zhen was taken aback, Yang Yuanqing actually came to the door, what did he do? But his surprise was only for a moment, and he soon calmed down again, and he had to admire Yang Yuanqing's courage, and finally kicked Yao Jimixing away and negotiated with himself head-on.
"Invite him to your room!"
He glanced at Yao Huan, who was full of panic, and said slowly: "You go back!" Wait in Miku in Fengdu, I'll send someone to inform you if there's anything going on. ”
"Yes! Then I'll go back. ”
Yao Huan didn't dare to meet Yang Yuanqing, turned around and hurried away, Dugu Zhen got up, changed into a wide robe, and walked to your guest room in a hurry.
Your room is very close, and as soon as he walked to the door, Dugu Zhen saw a very tall young man, who was admiring the thousand-mile prancing horse hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Although he has heard of the name for a long time, Dugu Zhen is still the first time to face Yang Yuanqing, the last time he saw him, it was the birthday banquet of Princess Leping, he compared arrows with the Turks, and saw him once from afar, and more than three years have passed.
"How can General Yang have time to come to the old man's dwelling?"
Dugu Zhen walked into the room with a smile, Yang Yuanqing turned around, he also saw Dugu Zhen for the first time, Dugu Zhen is not tall, but his face is beautiful, although he is in his fifties, he is well maintained, and he looks like he is in his early forties.
"Is it the head of the Dugu family?"
"Old man Dugu Zhen, General Yang, let's meet for the first time!"
Yang Yuanqing bowed and said: "It turned out to be Dugu's senior, Yuanqing is polite." ()”
"General Yang is too polite, please take a seat!"
Dugu Zhen invited Yang Yuanqing to sit down, a maid brought two bowls of freshly fried tea, Dugu Zhen picked up the tea bowl, sucked it gently, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, thank you General Yang, I used to drink buttermilk, but it was only after the tea began to spread in the grassland last year that I began to try to drink tea, and this drink is inseparable." ”
Yang Yuanqing smiled, also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and praised: "This water is good!" ”
"Of course this water is good, this is the Qingyu Spring of Bishan, and every morning there will be a family member who goes to Bishan to get water."
"Yes, this water is clear and sweet, I lived in Chang'an Wubenfang when I was young, and the water we drink at home is the water of the source of the Wuben River, which is slightly similar to this water, and drinking this tea makes me feel like I have returned to my youth."
"I heard that General Yang's family was poor when he was young, and he was still hunting to support his family, and it was really adversity that he could become successful, and I will take General Yang as an example in a few days to warn the young children of the Dugu family, don't be greedy for wealth and nobility, you must learn from General Yang to serve the country when you are young, and you must not lose your mind by plaything."
Although the two people have hostility in their hearts, they have each other's identities, and the hostility is well concealed, just like two friends who have known each other for many years, and in a few ordinary words, they are full of mutual understanding.
Even Dugu Zhen had an unreal feeling, Yang Yuanqing was such a knowledgeable person, how could he kill Yuan Shangying as soon as they met, he didn't have the ferocity and viciousness of the legend, at least he Dugu Zhen didn't realize it.
But this tacit understanding between them did not last long, and they finally got to the point.
"General Yang is coming to Dugu Mansion for Yao Jimi's business!"
Dugu Zhen went directly to the topic, breaking the tacit understanding that had just formed between them, and he was also very frank, he said this is equivalent to admitting that Yao Ji Mixing is related to the Dugu family.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, and said frankly: "I don't hide it from the head of the family, I entered Beijing this time to shoulder the most important task of the saint's explanation, and the stakes are very high, I advise the Dugu family not to make another mistake of Renshou for four years, and once again encounter a severe blow from the saint." ”
"Are you threatening me? General Yang! Dugu Zhen said coldly.
"The head of the family should know that I am not a threat, even the Yuan family, who hates me deeply, is silent at this time, I don't believe that the head of the Dugu family will not think of it."
Dugu Zhen was silent for a moment, and he finally sighed, admitting that Yang Yuanqing was not alarmist.
Yang Yuanqing smiled again: "Dugu's predecessor is a smart person, he should understand that I came to the door with sincerity, now if I want the Dugu family to be convicted, it can be said that it is as easy as a hand, does the head of the Dugu family believe what I say?" ”
Dugu Zhen was stunned, this time he didn't understand what Yang Yuanqing meant, "General Yang, can you be honest and clear?" ”
Yang Yuanqing put a map of Luoyang in front of him and said: "I marked five granaries on the map, which are the reserve grain of Yao Ji Mi Xing and Zhang Shengji in Luoyang, a total of 500,000 stone grain, and now the capital is fighting rice for 700 Wen, but there is no rice to sell, the people in the capital are boiling, and there is no rice supply on the side of the refugees, and they are on the verge of rioting, but the reserve grain of Yao Ji Mi Xing and Zhang Shengji control the lifeblood of the entire capital, if I fully arrest Yao Ji Mi Xing and Zhang Shengji Mi Xing, and at the same time start to the saint, Accusing these two rice shops of taking advantage of the opportunity of the Holy Tour's Northern Tour to plot against each other and want to provoke a riot in the capital, may I ask the head of the Dugu family, what will be the consequences in the end? ”
Dugu Zhen's forehead was already sweating, he understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, if he wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the Dugu family, it could be said that it was easy, if he was ruthless, he could even cause a riot in the capital and a rebellion among the displaced people, and finally put the responsibility on the two rice banks, 'plotting against each other and instigating a riot in the capital', this crime is too serious, and the Dugu family can't afford it.
Dugu Zhen suddenly realized that the Dugu family's control of the food in the capital was actually a big unwisdom, and it was too easy to be used.
"General Yang won't really do this, right?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "So I came with sincerity, I hope to fight with the Dugu family into jade silk, the matter of the four years of Renshou, I am also ordered, not my heart, my Yang Yuanqing's enemy is only He Ruobi, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”
Yang Yuanqing knew that he and the Yuan family had formed an indissoluble enmity, and he didn't want a situation where the Dugu family and the Yuan family joined forces to deal with him, and reconciling with the Dugu family would do no harm to him.
He said sincerely: "I still want to advise the Dugu family master again, the saint wants to move the heart of the Dugu family for a long time, what he lacks is just an excuse, so he will acquiesce to the Dugu family to control the food in the capital, just wait for the Dugu family to put the rope around their necks, to put it mildly, the Dugu family is actually digging their own graves, the head of the family, be careful!" ”
Dugu Zhen's sweat had already soaked his back, he suddenly turned over and knelt down to Yang Yuanqing, kowtowed three heads, and said with great gratitude: "Thanks to General Yang's words of Jin Yu, the Dugu family was able to escape the catastrophe, from now on, the old feud between the Dugu family and General Yang will be written off, and I am willing to turn the war with General Yang into a jade silk." ”
Yang Yuanqing suddenly had a feeling in his heart, he has been fighting to the death with people for a long time, but he can occasionally reconcile with the enemy, and this kind of taste of turning hostility into jade silk is indeed very sweet.
Of course, he reconciled with the Dugu family not to taste this taste.
.......
Yang Yuanqing left, and Dugu Zhen immediately ordered: "Order Duguqi, Yao Huan and Zhang Shenghou to come to see me quickly!" ”
Soon, Duguqi, who was in charge of Dugu's grain business, Yao Huan, the proprietor of Yao Ji Mi Xing, and Zhang Shengji Mi Xingdong, appeared in Dugu Zhen's room together.
Dugu Zhen glanced at them and said slowly: "From now on, Yao Ji Rice Store and Zhang Shengji Rice Store will open up the food supply, and all the grain reserves will be taken out, two hundred yuan of rice, and each person will be limited to five buckets of rice, in addition, after the food crisis in the capital subsides, Yao Ji Rice Store will be resold to the Yuan family, and Yao Huan will go to Jiangnan and change to the tea business." ”
Dugu Zhen's decision was that the three people in the room were stunned, and Dugu Zhen stammered and asked, "Family master, this.... What's going on? ”
"It's not going on, it's my order as the head of the house!"
He took a deep look at Dugu Qi again, "Also, you have to remember, don't provoke Yang Yuanqing, otherwise, I will use the clan rules to deal with you!" ”
