Wang Kai has been able to grow big in Liaodong for more than 20 years, from a small trader to a wealthy businessman, and he can be recognized by officialdom as an ordinary person, and he even has a few monks with a lot of cultivation around him to protect him, and it is inevitable that he will be bold.

Zhou Qingfeng was still thinking about how to deal with this king, but this person came in a small sedan chair late at night. He only brought two loyal servants, and even the monk bodyguard who never left him on weekdays was nowhere to be seen, and went directly to meet Zhou Qingfeng. When they met, this person happily bowed his hand to Zhou Qingfeng, saying 'forgive sins, forgive sins', and his cheeks and city government have reached a certain level.

Wang Kai came to visit secretly, Zhou Qingfeng did not see him in his office, but chose a secret room, and only Jin Ge was around to pour tea and water, and Old Man Sun and Xu Bing were just listening in the compartment.

For safety reasons, Zhou Qingfeng opened his eyes to look at Wang Kai. I found that this short and fat wealthy businessman actually carried more than a dozen magic weapons, all of which could be used by ordinary people, or automatically activated the body protection. Waiting for the two of them to sit down, he asked with a smile: "Wai Lang must be 'going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing', I was still thinking about when to visit one or two, but I didn't expect you to come in person." ”

"Hahaha...... what Brother Zhou said is funny. However, with the little brother's ruthlessness, he took the initiative to come for fear that he was going to take Wang's life. Wang was timid, so he simply came by himself. The so-called 'grievances should be resolved rather than settled', is the little brother willing to shake hands and make peace? As he spoke, a loyal servant behind Wang Kai stepped forward with a box. Looking at its footsteps, the weight of this box is not light.

The box was placed in front of the table, and Wang Kai opened it himself, and the yellow cancan inside was full of gold bars. The fat businessman put away his smile and said coldly: "Brother Zhou, we don't talk darkly. Half a year ago, you raided the horse market, but Wang lost thousands of taels of silver. This time you came back, Wang also caused you some trouble behind your back. Here are five hundred taels of gold, you and I are clear, how about it? ”

Wang Kai said directly, that is, to spend money to bridge the relationship between the two sides. Zhou Qingfeng only glanced at the gold, and asked lightly: "If you have any other plans outside the king, you might as well say it directly." ”

Wang Kai leaned over slightly, stared at Zhou Qingfeng and said: "Little Brother Zhou caused this epidemic in the whole city, and he made a lot of money by selling medicine in a change of face, even people like me, who have been fighting in the rivers and lakes for many years, are impressed. I think about it today, little brother, you are a person who does great things. It would be unwise to be your enemy, so it is better to join forces to make the deal bigger. ”

Zhou Qingfeng just wanted to sneer and speak, but Wang Kai interrupted him again: "Little brother, don't say that you didn't do this, let alone that this epidemic is the work of my 'flower girl'." That slut doesn't have that ability, let alone that guts. At most, she wanted to trick you, but she was used by you in a blink of an eye, and she ended up in a tragic death.

The whole thing is not good for others, only you profit, little brother. You say you're a good person, but no fool will believe you. Besides, Wang is not blind or deaf in Fushun, you bought off Master Li's master and secretly harmed the officials in the city, these things are not difficult to investigate. Now that you are entrenched in the west of the city and appeased hundreds of displaced people, this alone is enough to betray you for a bad plot. ”

Wang Kai's eyes were scorching, staring at Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng also stared at Wang Kai, and after the two looked at each other for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wang Yuan's insight is clear, no wonder he can achieve a career in Liaodong." But when you came here tonight, you definitely didn't want to watch the fire from the other side, you just wanted to take advantage of the fire. ”

Wang Kai immediately sneered: "Nonsense, if you can't get caught in the fire, Wang won't come tonight." Just because of my relationship with Master Li, I sued you, do you think that the master can shelter you from the wind and rain? That cheeky old man will immediately turn back, believe it or not? ”

"I believe, I believe." Zhou Qingfeng had a smile on his face again, he stretched out his hand and pulled the box of gold in front of him, grabbed a gold bar and said: "Wang Yuanwai is willing to take the risk to come to deliver gold, and he opened his mouth to explain the heavy pressure, I don't know what to do with me?" ”

Wang Kai originally leaned close to Zhou Qingfeng, but when he heard this, he laughed and relaxed, leaning back, and lying down on the chair. He patted the handrail and sighed in response to the question: "Wang has been doing business in Liaodong for more than 20 years, and he sees that this place is not going to be peaceful, so he has to take precautions." ”

Zhou Qingfeng looked at Wang Kai and waited for the other party to elaborate with a smile.

"Outside the border wall of northeastern Liaodong is the territory of the Jurchens, and those barbarians have fought and killed with our Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and have repeatedly rebelled until this Nurhachi is established this year." Wang Kai sighed again when he said this, and said to Zhou Qingfeng: "To tell the little brother a simple word, although Wang made a fortune by doing business with the Jianzhou Ministry, he really doesn't like those barbarians.

I have seen this person Nurhachi. I have seen his generals, courtiers, and even minions. Those guys are decisive, dare to think and dare to do, deal with them fairly, and are ruthless. I felt comfortable doing business with them, but I was also deeply afraid. On the other hand, I ...... the Ming Dynasty, and I don't talk about others, but I say that this Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang is greedy and arrogant, but in fact he is cowardly, and I look down on him. ”

Jin Ge added tea to Zhou Qingfeng's cup, and suddenly said: "When my mother was alive, she once said that when she fled from Daming to the Jurchens as a slave, it was the officials of Daming who forced my mother's family to flee the famine, and she couldn't survive at all. If it weren't for the cruelty and cruelty of those female Allah, I would rather be a Jurchen. ”

Jin Ge was only ten years old, and his words were full of resentment. Zhou Qingfeng patted him on the head and motioned for him to sit aside and stop talking. Wang Kai said happily: "Ah......, I forgot that Little Brother Zhou was killed from the Jurchen territory." I recently sent someone to Hetuara to inquire carefully about you, little brother, and I heard that you also hooked up with Nurhachi's concubine? ”

Wang Kai's last sentence was teased, squeezing his eyebrows, and his expression was envious. He said again: "I've seen the Abahai Princess, it's really rare for the Jurchens to be so beautiful, and her appearance and figure are outstanding even in our Ming Dynasty." ”

Wang Kai said this as if an adult was telling a meat joke, but he suddenly took a closer look at Zhou Qingfeng's appearance.

After talking for a long time, Wang Kai had actually seen Zhou Qingfeng. But the man sat in front of him, and he still thought that he was facing an 'eight-year-old child'. Until now, when talking about Abahai, he was suddenly surprised to find that Zhou Qingfeng was an eight-year-old child? This head, this figure, this appearance, the heavenly court is full, the face is upright, and the heroic spirit, this young man's skin is too good-looking.

I'm afraid that the gossip is not groundless!

Wang Kai was stunned suddenly, and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, should you really sleep with the favorite concubine of the lord of the Dajin Kingdom?" You, you, you ....... He wanted to say: Why weren't you slaughtered by Nurhachi?

Zhou Qingfeng took a sip of tea and smiled without saying a word.

Wang Kai couldn't figure out his details, and he really didn't dare to guess about it. He could only continue to say what he had said before, "The general trend of the Jianzhou Department has been achieved, and according to the habits of their Jurchens, they will definitely rebel and invade our Ming border." My entire net worth is in Liaodong, but I am not willing to be ruined in the war.

I have already seen through Li Yongfang's person, and he is unreliable. Nurhachi called, and that guy was absolutely finished. Although I am not a gentleman, I have to take precautions and want to move my property to the south, or even to the capital. But I still have some connections in Liaodong, so I'm afraid it's not as good as bullshit if I change places. ”

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and local forces controlled all over the country. A dragon in one place, but a worm in another place. This is especially true for merchants. When Zhou Qingfeng heard this, he already understood Wang Kai's worries, and was even surprised that this businessman's judgment of the development of the situation was very accurate.

"Wang Yuanwai wants to use my medicine as a stepping stone?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.

Wang Kai nodded, "Panacea, no force will refuse." There were outbreaks of plague in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Wanli, the plague of Datong was great, ten rooms and nine diseases, the infected people died one after another, and several families were wiped out overnight. In the tenth year of Wanli, the epidemic in Beijing. Tongzhou and Dong'an are also plagued. Bazhou, Wen'an, Dacheng, and Baoding suffered from a big head plague, and the deceased was resting on his pillow, although his relatives did not dare to ask for hanging. ”

When Zhou Qingfeng was tossing typhoid fever, he deliberately read some information. The so-called 'plague' is the plague that causes lymphatic swelling in the neck. It was a plague hundreds of times more terrible than typhoid fever, that is, the Black Death that ravaged Europe for hundreds of years in the Middle Ages - the special medicine against this thing was streptomycin, which Uncle Zhou had in his hands.

Wang Kai continued: "I see that the rich families in the city have settled in your medical hall, and the poor people have also been treated. Once administered, the condition is relieved immediately. The medicine in the little brother's hand is not only effective, but also a large amount. I thought about it again and again, and I was willing to pay a lot of money to join forces. With such elixir, the world is so big, where can you go?

If Brother Zhou joins forces with me, I don't dare to say the whole of Liaodong, but there is nothing in Fushun that can stump you anymore. Silver taels, fields, real estate, population, what you want. I promise that Li Yongfang can't embarrass you, that waste is full of my people, and his concubines are all sent by me. Even if you turn Fushun upside down, he won't know anything. ”

Wang Kai patted his chest and packed the ticket, and what he said was very sincere. However, he is a snake and mouse at both ends, and he is typically a wall grass. If Nurhachi really kills him, he will definitely surrender. You cannot disbelieve his word, nor can you believe it all. However, this person's power is not small, and Zhou Qingfeng doesn't mind cooperating with him to expand his power.

"Wang Yuanwai said politely, if you are willing to join forces with me, there is still something to solve first."

"What?"

"Where is the assassin who assassinated me not long ago?"

"That guy's name is 'Thorn', he was sent by your master Gu Yuanwei, and he specially wrote me a letter for me to help. But he didn't succeed, and he turned back and was gone. I don't know where he went, but this Assassin is not a small name, and he is afraid that he did not escape, and must be hiding somewhere in the city. ”

"Find him, and I'll make it easier for you to work together."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do this immediately."

Wang Kai agreed very happily, and selling his teammates was extremely happy. So far, both of them have been quite happy. Wang Kai didn't expect Zhou Qingfeng to agree easily, Zhou Qingfeng accepted five hundred taels of gold, but he didn't let go in a hurry. That guy called 'Thorn' is a vote, if he doesn't hand over this vote, Zhou Qingfeng won't have much trust in Wang Kai.

The king was also in a hurry to come and go, and left in a sedan chair in the middle of the night.

Old Man Sun and Xu Bing both listened to it sincerely, and Zhou Qingfeng's response was also within the scope of their approval. However, when Xu Bing and Zhou Qingfeng were alone, the female criminal policeman asked, "Do you have a leg with Nurhachi's concubine?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

"What's there to say about that?"

"So that's it?"

"Wait, why are you asking this? We are now developing well, and we have the possibility of joining forces with the largest wealthy businessmen in Fushun. Shouldn't we talk a lot about work? ”

"Your private life is also the focus of my attention, and these must be filed with me."

"Hey......, what do you mean?"

"That's what you mean, your identity is very special, and any woman you sleep with in the future will have to be reported to me for a record. I want to prevent hostile forces from destroying our cause through women. ”

"Do you think I'm so stupid?"

"Don't forget what I do, I've seen a lot of you men jingworm on the back of your head. So you have to be honest with me. Xu Bing snorted coldly, turned around and left the room where the meeting was held, and after walking away, he heard her muttering in a low voice, "This kid actually slept with the wife of the founding emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he can really endure him!" ”
