Chapter XXVIII

"Have you offended the people of Beizhen Fusi recently?" Xue Keji said to Fan Yongdou.

"This?" Fan Yongdou was a little stunned, and then spread his hands and said helplessly: "Don't you know me, how many years have we been in contact!" When have I ever done something that offended someone! I have never had too few friends, and my filial piety has never been broken in the Beizhen Fusi stationed in Datong Guard, except that I have never been in contact with any Jinyi Guard. ”

Xue Keji frowned and wondered, "Then why did Xu Xianchun target you?" I also invited the Queen Mother's edict to investigate your Fan family? ”

"You said that the new Jinyi Wei second-in-command Xu Xianchun? I've never seen him before! I basically don't have much contact with this North Town Fuji, so I don't pay much attention to it, and there are fewer gifts. That's not right! ”

Fan Yongdou felt that he was safe and secure, and he suffered in vain, and there was some anger on his face: "The filial piety I give to Commander Jiang is the greatest, Xu Xianchun is just a fellow acquaintance, can he also be a leader under Commander Jiang?" ”

Xue Keji was not very happy in his heart, a mere businessman dared to accuse himself of being an official here, openly and secretly implying that Jiang Bin would not do anything with money.

can think about the dividends, fields and Zhuangzi given by Fan Yongdou, Xue Keji can only swallow his anger back into his stomach, and no one will have trouble with money.

"Xu Xianchun was promoted from the same knowledge by virtue of Yang Tinghe's case, and successfully hugged the thigh of the current Queen Mother, and he has a little more face than Commander Jiang in front of the Queen Mother, and now the Commander is the only stumbling block for him to climb up, and the two of them are not very good at dealing with each other." Xue Keji patiently explained.

Fan Yongdou's face changed, and the name mentioned by Xue Keji made him roughly understand what was wrong.

"Some time ago, our caravan to Dajin was killed in front of the hundred households, and the whole of the hundred households was also slaughtered, and I asked the servants in the city to say that most of them died from sword wounds, but some people died from swords and embroidered spring knives."

"I know about this, it's quite a big fuss, our analysis should be made by Lu Wenzhao of the Qianhu of the Fusi of Beizhen, and the entire Jinyi Guard, just the Qi family knife used by their senior brothers and sisters. They must have been ordered to pursue these people, but when we went, the people from your caravan were not there! Xue Keji was slightly puzzled.

Fan Yongdou's expression was slightly embarrassed, "I knew that there might be a problem with the businessman, and some people ran back, so I brought back the body of the Chamber of Commerce in advance, leaving only a hundred households, after all, our people appeared there, and they still carried the goods, which is really unsightly." ”

"Hmph, your business is not small, and Da Ming can't support your Fan family, so he has to run out! At this point, you can tell me what the problem is that made you make arrangements in advance. "Xue Keji really doesn't look down on his smuggling business, this person's business methods are really good, if he does a good job in mainland business, what is there to do.

Fan Yongdou was choked by him, and said in his heart: Just take the money, there is a lot of. What do they do with the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River for the business of the Ming Dynasty, and do they have food? Raw silk? Illicit salt? Porcelain?

Can't compare at all! This Xue Keji is reasoning here as soon as his mouth touches, so he can't look at reality? Isn't it fragrant to sell iron and grain to Mongolia and Daikin?

"About half a month ago, there was a chivalrous man Zhou Huai'an, who asked us to bring Yang Tinghe's grandchildren to Dajin with our caravan. I coveted his skill and promised him that he would take care of the two children, but he would give me a few years of nursing home. But as soon as the caravan left, my eyelids jumped, and I sent people out, and I happened to meet the brothers who had fled back from the guard station. ”

"Shhh Are you crazy, Yang Tinghe was crucified for rebellion, you actually helped his grandchildren escape, don't you want to stay in Datong anymore? Xue Keji gasped and said in shock.

"Hmph, it was originally a knife licking blood business, and the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade trade with Mongolian Dajin, isn't this still done? When have I ever been afraid! Fan Yongdou said disdainfully, he had seen Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, as well as the fierce style of the grassland and Liaodong, and compared with the greed and corruption of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he had already stored the idea that the Ming Dynasty was not long in his heart, and he had only seen him who was high-spirited in Jianzhou Khan, and even thought that that was the true son of heaven that he needed to be loyal to.

Xue Keji shook his head: "No wonder Xu Xianchun sued the Queen Mother, Yang Tinghe's case was almost single-handedly handled by him, and it was over after killing everyone, but there was a fork in the robbery field, and you rushed to get involved, he was afraid that he hated you!" ”

"Sit down, it's good to know the reason, since this matter is caused by the surname Xu, can we just do him?" Fan Yongdou didn't care, and sat on the main seat in the lobby of Fan's mansion by himself. The maid named Xiaoman also served tea in time.

"What you think is too simple, the Queen Mother Yi's order is to thoroughly investigate a few of you chambers of commerce that are involved in smuggling, that is, except for your Fan family, the other seven will not let go. Even those of us who have been bribed by you will not be able to escape. If it's as simple as you say, why am I in such a hurry? Xue Keji said helplessly, only to feel that his mouth was dry, so he slowly blew with hot tea.

"The master is meeting guests inside, and I also ask Miss Qiu to wait here, and when the master and Lord Xue finish talking, the slave will go up to tell you, this is your tea." A maid in a water-red skirt and a double bun said respectfully while handing over tea.

Qiu Moyan nodded and smiled: "Then it's annoying the girl." She knew that the two brocade guards were coming, and she was not surprised that she would stay in the side hall.

"The girl is polite, it's what a slave should do." The little maid's face was red and she whispered.

Although she knew that Qiu Moyan was a woman, she was very handsome than most men in men's clothes, and the little maid had never seen such a woman who could not distinguish between male and female, and she was distracted for a while, only to feel that her face was hot, and she couldn't help but spit on herself in her heart, and retreated shyly to the side.

Qiu Moyan's ears suddenly moved, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly picked up the tea and tasted tea.

"Hey! Don't be so nervous, what are you afraid of? I know you want us to run north to avoid the limelight first, but you don't want to think about how my big business can go for a while! What's more, the seven families of Wang, Liang, Huang, Jin, Tian, and Zhai will not leave, we all rely on smuggling, if we go to the north, we will bring goods, and without the follow-up value, the family assets will not be saved. Fan Yongdou was like Spiegel in his heart, he knew those jackals too well.

"Let me say, the guards and generals of the Forbidden City are all assigned to you Jinyiwei, why don't you just be the Empress Dowager of Laoshzi! Let's just say that she missed the emperor too much and died of death, so she won't get it? Fan Yongdou's eyes flashed with a dim light, which startled Xue Keji and Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming, who had not spoken, almost jumped up, slapped the table and said, "I think you are really crazy!" This is a great crime of rebellion, do you know it? ”

Xue Keji nodded again and again: "Yes, Lao Fan, you better dispel this idea, we can't be the next Yang Tinghe!" ”

Lu Yiming saw that the folds on Fan Yongdou's forehead were piled up in several layers, and knew that he still had this thought, so he said again: "Let me tell you, today, the Queen Mother directly smashed the table with one palm when she listened to the government, and she could also slap the stillbirth woman with one palm when she gave birth, that skill is also a heavenly level, if you don't listen to the advice and send someone to assassinate, you are asking for your own death!" ”

Fan Yongdou raised his eyelids and said quietly: "Stabbing? I wouldn't have done this kind of hard thing, but if the Queen Mother didn't die, you would all be involved, and it was okay if the money in the past was gone, unless the eight of us died, you would never be able to escape the liquidation of the imperial court. Since the Queen Mother is strong in martial arts, poisoning is also a way to survive! ”
