Chapter 94: The Opportunity to Enter the Jin
A few years ago, Zhu Jian made various deployment arrangements, and dispatched a group of capable Jinyi secret spies to Shanxi to lurk, secretly monitor and collect intelligence information headed by the eight famous Jin merchants such as the Fan family, he knew that the Jin merchants were not easy to mess with, so he only let those Jinyi secret spies stung in ambush, mainly to collect intelligence, and other things were temporarily ignored.
After Lu Jiantong's Red Gang unified the underground forces of Beijing, after integration, it began to slowly expand outward, Liaodong and Shaanxi are one of the main targets of infiltration and expansion, followed by Shanxi, like ants moving, slowly infiltrating it little by little, first gaining a firm foothold.
According to the secret report submitted by Lu Jiantong, the Red Gang has set up more than a dozen small shops and five secret strongholds in the Taiyuan Mansion of Shanxi, but because the Jin merchants are not only shrewd and powerful, but also hold together, it is difficult to infiltrate, and the difficulty of carrying out espionage work there is not ordinary, but fortunately, in line with the principle of prudence and safety, the people sent in the past have acted in a low-key manner and have not attracted the attention of those Jin merchants.
Of course, Zhu Jian was not satisfied with this, but this matter was not urgent, so he could only order Lu Jiantong to continue to slowly develop his power in Shanxi, and he must form a certain scale, even if he could not compete with the Jin merchants, but at least he must be able to protect himself, and if the situation is special or critical, he can take some special measures.
Guan Ruozhi's deed of dedication made him see an opportunity, an opportunity to muddy the water and split the Jin merchants, which made him so happy that he almost hugged Guan Ruozhi's eyelashes and took a bite, and when he was dozing, the beauty handed over the pillow.
"I'll help you recapture the mine." Zhu Jian's words were amazing, or scared people to death, giving people the feeling of being like an adult male lion, opening his bloody mouth, and the delicate Guan Ruozhi was like a poor little sheep about to be devoured.
He dared to open his mouth like this, of course, there was a good reason, Guan Ruozhi knew that he was unable to recapture the mine, so he would donate to the government, which was considered to have completely given up the right to own, and he took over, manpower and money, her personal safety, and even all kinds of unpredictable accidents did not need Guan Ruozhi to worry about, she only needed to go back as the deceased wife of Wei Sangongzi to show off the mineral rights, in fact, she made a lot of money, and it was earned in vain, so the stupid pen would refuse.
"How old does Childe want to play?"
Guan Ruozhi was indeed frightened, and was stunned for a long time before reacting, and then rolled his white phoenix eyes, with a resentful and strange look on his face, the slave family tried every possible way to get rid of the identity of Mrs. Weisan, son, are you sprinkling salt into the wound of the slave family, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, will you only bully other widows?
In fact, after calming down a little and thinking about it carefully, she felt that Zhu Jian's request for ninety percent was not excessive, she didn't give anything for nothing, and if she was not satisfied, she would be too greedy and too ignorant. However, although the Wei family is not as good as Fan, Kong, Qiao, Cao and other eight families, they are also strong in the local area, black and white, even if Zhu Jian is a raptor who crosses the river, if he wants to successfully recapture the mine, it will take a lot of effort.
Even if the mine was successfully recaptured, but after a toss, the cost increased N invisibly, plus her mine is small, the terrain is not very good, and the cost of mining is higher than that of ordinary mines, without considering all kinds of accidents, it is estimated that it will take a year to return to the capital, and offended the Wei family and other Jin merchants, how to calculate it is a bit not cost-effective, unless it is big, she is curious about how big Zhu Jian wants to play?
The beauty is coquettish, and there is a touching charm, so that Zhu Jian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the joke of an old man next door in the future flashed in his mind, daughter-in-law, or someone else's good.
To be honest, Guan Ruozhi's appearance and temperament are definitely one in ten thousand, although she is a widow, she is only twenty years old, which is the mature period when people are more beautiful than flowers, and in later generations, the cliff is the level of the goddess.
"It's big, it's too big you can't imagine, hehe." Zhu Jian scratched his head, hehe smirked, he suddenly realized that his kung fu flirting with his sister was a bit scum, and the reason why he was able to successfully provoke Lu Hongniang was because he robbed Li Xin's lines, coupled with Lu Hongniang's character of daring to love and hate, he was able to hug the beauty so smoothly, and in the face of a shrewd and capable woman like Guan Ruozhi, it seemed a little powerless.
Snort –
Guan Ruozhi covered his mouth and smiled lowly, his phoenix eyes were bent into moon buds, although Zhu Jian scratched his head and smirked, although it was a little silly, which was extremely incommensurate with his shrewd calculation just now, but it also explained some situations, he was not a veteran of the love field who often messed with Fengyue, and his emotions were still a little tender, which made her feel a little good and curious in her heart.
People are sometimes like this, once they have a good impression and curiosity about each other, they will naturally look at each other's eyes and feelings are very different, and they will automatically ignore some bad sides, and only pick what they like, in her heart, Zhu Jian is quite pure and cute little fresh meat, plus curiosity about his identity and background, and naturally wants to solve the puzzle, but is unconsciously attracted by the other party.
There is an old saying that when a woman is curious about the opposite sex and wants to solve the mystery, it is the beginning of the fall.
Guan Ruoxi's heartbeat accelerated wonderfully, her breathing was also a little disordered, and there was a touch of softness in her eyes when she looked at Zhu Jian, and at the same time, she could feel Zhu Jian's perseverance and confidence when she spoke, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.
She can't tell how she can have such a strange feeling, even if she marries into the Wei family, her dead husband has never let her have this feeling of wanting to rely on, perhaps, all these years of desperate housekeeping, she feels too tired, she also imagines that other women are the same, there is a good husband who can rely on and knows how to care and considerate.
Yo, how do I think about all this mess?
Guan Ruoxi felt her heart beating hard, her cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly changed the topic, "When does Childe want to leave?" ”
"There's no urgency in this matter, let's take action after we have it all figured it out." Zhu Jian smiled freely, when it came to business, he instantly regained his previous free and easy self-confidence, this matter really can't be rushed, you have to discuss it with Lu Jiantong, and then plan before you act, in order to ensure success.
Subsequently, Zhu Jian took Guan Ruoxi's master and servant, surrounded by the dragon and tiger guards, to the Red Gang General Altar, and by the way, sent someone to inform the one-armed commander of Jinyiwei, Lei Yin, to rush over and discuss the action plan for the development of Shanxi.
Although Guan Ruozhi had just returned to Beijing for a few days, she had also heard of the name of the red master Lu Jiantong, seeing this famous person, she stomped her feet, and the red master who shook the capital city was respectful like a subordinate in front of Zhu Jian, and she became more and more curious about Zhu Jian's identity and background, but she was shrewd and knew that there were some things that she could not ask, or that it was not time to know.
Although Guan Ruoxi was abducted by Zhu Jian on his dragon boat, it still needs to be investigated, she only participated in the previous meeting, in fact, it is to introduce and get acquainted, go through the motions, and the important meetings in the back are not authorized to participate.
Several people muttered in the study for most of the day, and it was almost evening before Zhu Jian left in a hurry, he had to go back before the palace gate was closed, so as not to worry the people in the palace.
Guan Ruozhi's master and servant temporarily lived in Lu Jiantong's house, which was also a protective measure for her.
That night, Lu Jiantong and Lei Yin were too busy to go home, and they ate in their own offices, according to the requirements of the Son of Heaven, this time they must do a big job in Jin, they selected elite soldiers and strong generals, entered Jin first, made all kinds of preparations, and had to pick a group of loyal and reliable people to escort Guan Ruozhi back, just selecting people to keep the two busy.
In the end, Lu Jiantong came forward and warned the Guan family, and released the housekeeper Guan Youcai and the two family members by the way, and since then, the Guan family and Guan Ruozhi have no relationship.
Ten days later, Guan Ruozhi's master and servant, escorted by more than 100 bodyguards, left the capital and set off for home, and Zhu Jian personally went outside the city to see him off.
