got on the horse, Hu Yanjin went straight to the Bamboo Forest Garden. He wanted to meet his father before Yi Chengjin.

"Huyan!"

As soon as he arrived at the door of Zhulin Yayuan, he saw Zheng Kuan directing his men to unload the goods. The goods of the three carriages seem to have just been purchased from Jiangnan. But except for the basket of melons and fruits on the surface, the box below is a little heavy-handed.

"Guys?" Hu Yanjin didn't shy away from it, and asked in a low voice.

"There is a fixed number of factories in Jingshi, and we can't get it, but the management of Nandu is much looser, and we can do it with any style by spending more silver. Cao Yun is navigable, and the Cao Gang also has our people, and these are the ones who came by their own boat. Huyan, your old man's determination is very big! ”

Zheng Kuan has been either in the southern capital or in Beijing in recent years, and the transportation channels between the two places have also been opened up by him. He was born a businessman, and if he didn't rebel, his life would be very nourishing.

Speaking of his old man, Hu Yanjin patted him on the shoulder and walked in. Zheng Kuan grabbed him, leaned into his ear and said:

"You'll look for me in a moment, and the news will be there."

Hu Yanjin nodded, he knew what Zheng Kuan was talking about.

Zhulin Yayuan is a building complex, in the depths of the bamboo forest, is an independent courtyard.

The most spacious one was given to Yi Chengjin, there was a big hall in the courtyard, the key is that there is also an underground secret passage, take the dark passage, and with a cup of tea, you will arrive at the small river far away from the bamboo forest. After crossing the river, it is not easy to find any traces.

The courtyard where Wu Chenliang lives is on the edge of the bamboo forest, backed by a soil ridge, which is full of pine trees, which are the native plants in this area, and the bamboo forest is slowly planted by people. There is a clear boundary between these two plants, one soft and one rigid, behind Wu Chenliang's yard, which makes the line of sight clearer.

"Father."

"Well, here you are. Is James House okay today? They run around early in the morning, and young people don't learn to improve. ”

Hu Yanjin is used to it, no matter when his father sees him, he can always count whether he is or not.

He hurriedly said, "Isn't there a situation I want to tell you?" Father, last time you said that if the King of Han and the King of Zhao could move at the same time, this riot would be complete. also let me pay more attention to the movements of King Han and King Zhao. ”

"That's right, I did."

"What you said, my son has taken it to heart. That night, I saw King Lu Cheng enter the Han Palace, so I followed him, but I was discovered by the palace soldiers and was a little injured......"

"Huh? Where's the injury? ”

"I had a skin wound, and now I'm healed, and the subordinate who went with me was slashed in the back."

"What nonsense! I deliberately separate two lines of action with you, that is, I hope that you will go to the court, less swords and swords, and in the future, as long as you contain the emperor's grandson, or imprison or kill, you will be a great achievement. You'd better put yourself in danger! ”

The more Wu Chenliang spoke, the more angry he became, and he looked at Hu Yanjin as if he was listening to the training honestly, and then he was relieved.

"Father, the son returned in vain this time, and he didn't dare to report to His Royal Highness, for fear of leaving a bad impression on him......"

The first time Wu Chenliang heard his son say that he should take care of his image in the hearts of others, he couldn't help but look him up and down, stroked his beard and said:

"If you don't say it, you don't say it, and it's not a big mistake. If you ask, you say that I asked you to go, and I didn't find any news, so I didn't report it. ”

"Yes, father. The son went back first, afraid that the imperial grandson would look for him later. By the way, this is a pickle made of buckwheat, let me bring a can for you to taste, if you like it, there is still one at home. ”

"Got it. Go ahead and be careful in the future. ”

Wu Chenliang looked at Hu Yanjin's back, and then realized that his son had grown up unconsciously. That buckwheat girl is not bad, and her son is from the Babei family, so it is better to marry her back as soon as possible, and let her son be taken care of by many people.

Coming out of his father's courtyard, Hu Yanjin went to the lobby to find Zheng Kuan again, and he was counting the accounts at the counter.

Zhulin Yaju does not point to the hall to make money, the underworld and the white road are all-inclusive, salt, black fire, precious medicinal materials, jewelry and rough stones, sometimes a box can be lifted down, you can buy half of the street.

Hu Yanjin has a lot of money, and he also benefited from the fact that he gave Zheng Kuan all the extra money every month early, in addition to the fixed interest silver, how many uncertain dividends can he get. In addition, he only makes profits every month, and he has been in the office for nearly a year, and the account here in Zheng Kuan can make people look blushing.

The rewards in the palace are a lot of gold and silver utensils made of silver, these things cannot be traded on the market, nor can they be returned to the furnace privately, except for the display of decorations, the scenery and funeral, almost useless.

Hu Yanjin also handed over the gold and silver objects he and Hua Qiao obtained to Zheng Kuan for gold and silver, as for whether he took it to the private gold shop to melt it into gold and silver, or reprocessed it and sold it, that was Zheng Kuan's business.

"Is your father finished?"

"What do I have to say to him? The daughter-in-law learned to make pickles and gave him some to taste. How? Tang Sai'er has news? You're really powerful. Hu Yanjin boasted.

"Where did I get the skills? Your father sent someone to contact them, and I followed them for a few days. The direction is there, but when I get to the mountain pass, no one takes it, and my people can't get in. It's up to you to figure it out.

However, this time I happened to hear a piece of news, they should be more than Tang Sai'er, they formed a 'Tongle Alliance', and at the same time revolted to end Yongle. Huyan, this is reliable for you, if they make a fuss, my financial road will be cut off. ”

Zheng Kuan learned the way of Anbang to govern the country with Hu Yan since he was a child, and he lacked interest, but he liked the way of doing business that his father looked down on. I don't know how many times he has been beaten and scolded by his father, but he is unswerving and insists on doing what he likes.

This is exactly where Hu Yanjin looks at him.

Zheng Kuan took out a folded piece of paper from under the counter, handed it to Hu Yanjin, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Tear down their alliance and break each one."

"Hehe, Xiao Huyan, my brother didn't mistake you, this time you did it with your old man."

Hu Yanjin opened the piece of paper and glanced at it, folded it and put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Have you done less about this?" Also, where am I small? Small wide wide. ”

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yi Chengjin came over on the back foot.

"General Wu, has Hu Yanjin contacted you recently?"

"He came over early in the morning. What's wrong? ”

"Come early in the morning?"

"He made some pickles in his house, and he just came out to run errands, so he sent some over."

Yi Chengjin glanced at the celadon bottle on the table, and asked quietly: "Hu Yanjin acted without authorization but didn't report it, do you know?" A few days ago, there was an assassin in the Han Palace, but I didn't expect it to be him at this moment. ”

"This is what I know, he and his two men went, and they escaped and were wounded, and his men were seriously wounded, and they were slashed in the back, and they almost died. I didn't hear anything useful, but I told him not to report it to you. ”

Only then did Wu Chenliang understand that he was placed by his son:

This bunny! No wonder you were so honest just now!
