When Yan Bozhai received the tokens from his wife and children and became angry at home, Zhao Chengdong, who was far away in Zalanbao, finally got up and went to the grain store to meet Boss Zhuo. Yang Xiaotao didn't come with her because she hadn't done a good job that month, and she really couldn't go out.

After listening to Zhao Chengdong's intentions, Boss Zhuo immediately patted his chest and agreed, "Don't say it's a sick horse, even a dead horse, I will help you take it all for us to do business, it's about a righteous spirit, if friends don't come to help when there is a difficulty, then this business will also come to an end, and it will definitely not become a big climate, isn't it just five taels of silver?" Don't worry, I'm out."

Zhao Chengdong gave him something warm in his heart, and felt that Yang Xiaotao really introduced the right person, there are still many good people in this world, like this Boss Zhuo, but he is really his nobleman

At the moment, his brain was hot, and he didn't care whether the price was low or not, so he agreed, "Since Boss Zhuo is so righteous, then I will leave it all to you, do you think when you can come and drag the horse away?" ”

Boss Zhuo thought for a while, "There are so many horses dragged out, they have to be loaded in a car, and they are gone during the day, so I'll come as soon as it gets dark?" ”

Zhao Chengdong is a typical example of not seeing rabbits and eagles, although he is embarrassed, he asks, "What about this silver ......?"

"You can rest assured that it's all cash," Boss Zhuo had already thought about selling it in his heart.

He was already engaged in some shady business, and on the surface, Zhao Chengdong's horses were all sick and dead, which was useless. But if the horse is dismembered and made into braised food, who else can see it? Some low-cost restaurants use such horse meat to pass off as beef and sell it to those poor families who are greedy for cheapness.

According to this calculation, the price of five taels of silver is indeed not expensive, and the saddle and other leather goods processed from a horse skin should also be worth the capital. Only a fool like Zhao Chengdong, who doesn't understand anything about the market, will blatantly tell the price reported by the previous family to the next family, doesn't this make it clear that others have time to drill? If you don't take advantage of it, it's a fool, but Boss Zhuo has made up his mind to get a lot of money from Zhao Chengdong

"But Boss Zhao, since you have a horse plague in this horse farm, do you want to take action with the live horse?" He said with ulterior motives, "This sick horse is waiting for it, but it is troublesome and troublesome, should you sell them all, change them to new horses, and then regroup?" Anyway, you have experience and knowledge, this is less than a year, and next year will be another batch of new atmosphere? If horses are easy to raise, how much trouble can you save? ”

Zhao Chengdong's heart moved, if Boss Gao made this suggestion to him yesterday, he still felt that others were not at ease, but today, after yesterday's toss, he was indeed a little impatient. There are so many sick horses, and they have to take medicine and fine grains, and they have to take a lot of artificial in. If the horses are all right, why does he keep so many idlers?

But he was still a little worried, "If I sell all these horses and buy a new batch of them, I will have to feed them for another year."

"Ahem" Boss Zhuo waved his hand nonchalantly, "How much can the forage cost?" How much do you make if you keep a horse? It's not a grade at all, think about it, how much money did you spend on buying food from me? How much does it make to sell a horse? Isn't this one coming out? I don't have the ability to raise horses, so I can sell grain, if I could raise horses, I would have done that earlier, who would have scarced these grains? ”

Zhao Chengdong felt reasonable, "I don't sell anything except a stallion, and I will ask you for all the rest."

Boss Zhuo immediately raised his legs when he heard this, looking like he was in a hurry, "That is the case, then I will go with you now, touch the situation of these horses, and when I turn around, I will find a buyer for you to drag the horses at night but I can't find it, I will help you eat this batch of goods myself, just make a friend."

Zhao Chengdong was moved to see him so righteous. This will go with Boss Zhuo to see his horses. Well, this night, there were five more mouths for eating, but the horse fell five more Zhao Chengdong didn't know that he was sick yesterday and rushed to the doctor, and the medicine given to the horse was heavy, and he didn't pay attention to diet and conditioning.

Seeing that Zhao Chengdong only knew how to scold the little guy and did nothing, Boss Zhuo became more and more happy in his heart, and pretended to persuade him not to go to his heart, so he immediately counted the horses in the horse farm. Zhao Chengdong is ruthless now, since he is going to sell, he only leashes the stallion that he wants to leave behind to the warmest and most comfortable place in the stable, and hands it over to the little servants to take care of it. The rest was dragged out like straw for others to evaluate.

Boss Zhuo counted them, and probably had a spectrum in his heart. He generously said that as long as he came to drag the horse at night, those who could stand up and follow him would be counted as fifteen taels of silver, and those who could not walk would be counted as five taels of silver, so as to bargain. Zhao Chengdong promised and agreed to see him again after dark, so he waited here with peace of mind.

Boss Zhuo went back and estimated that if Zhao Chengdong raised the horses well, would these horses not be worth thousands of taels of silver? can be handed over to this loser, and it is estimated that it will only cost less than two to buy it all. Wait for yourself to change hands, at least one or two taels of interest is there. Where do you need to find someone else in this business? He did it himself

It's just that now I have to find a middleman to pretend to be a customer, Boss Zhuo also thought of He Daya, Zhao Chengdong wanted to earn his own two silvers, and he had no way to wait for him to give him the money, and then put the news to He Daya, so that he could steal the money and share it with himself. However, he can't let He Daya know what he is doing in this, otherwise the small one is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will be a little variable if it is not good.

So who to look for? Boss Zhuo pondered a thing or two, secretly thought about the candidate, and hurried back to prepare. Only Zhao Chengdong was cheated and kept in the dark.

The sun slowly came to the middle of the day, and moved westward a little. Anxiously waiting is not only Zhao Chengdong in Zalanbao, but also Zhang Qingting in the capital.

The letter was sent early in the morning, but Yan Bozhai was willing to let him go? No one has a bottom in their hearts.

It is said that he should be willing, no matter what, the Zhu family is his wife, and Xiaobao is also his only biological son. Even if he doesn't value everything in the world, he still has to take care of his own flesh and blood if he doesn't eat much tiger poison, right? Otherwise, what is he working so hard for? What's the point of being alone?

Zhang Qingting thought so, Zhu also thought so, and everyone thought so.

They were still afraid that Yan Bozhai would come early, so after taking Zhu's mother around the capital, they came to the Yanlou in the east of the city to wait.

This location was carefully selected by Meng Zhan. Because it is not far from Miyagi, it is a quiet place in the middle of the bustling city. The place has a wide field of vision, and if you want to make trouble, you will definitely alarm the surrounding capital royal forest army.

This team would not even listen to the orders of ordinary officials, and in order to ensure the safety of the royal family, the Holy Decree had already granted them the right to cut first and then play if there was any change. Therefore, Meng Zhan forgave him, no matter how arrogant Yan Bozhai was, he didn't have the courage to forcibly rob people here.

As long as Yan Bozhai is sincere in exchanging hostages, then Nineteen can be carried out in a peaceful way. Just in case, Meng Zhan still made all the preparations, not only secretly brought some henchmen to guard Zhang Qingting and Zhu's mother, but also ambushed a lot of hidden piles on the nearby road, in case Yan Bozhai went crazy, then immediately took his token to Jing Zhaoyin and other places to quickly report to the officials, and mobilized the officials to suppress it.

Of course, at that time, it will be necessary to fight to the death. Meng Zhan now has some evidence on hand, but it is not sufficient, the key is that he can't figure out the emperor's state and dare not act rashly. But he is also sure that if Yan Bozhai is really mad, he will dare to go out and shake things out.

If the emperor once asked Yan Bozhai to do some unsightly things, Meng Zhan knew that it must be that the emperor was unwilling to mention it on the table again. When he arrived, he pretended to be confused, dragged everything to Yan Bozhai's head, and let Yan Bozhai eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering. But I'm afraid that by that time, his career will come to an end.

Don't care? That's probably a lie. Thinking about him, Meng Zhan can say that since the day he opened his eyes, he has been preparing for his official career. His lifelong ambition is to scold Fang Xuan above the court, and he used to want to make a name for himself, but when he arrived in Zaranburg, he reminded him that a good official doesn't care how honest and sympathetic he is, but can really do something, solve something, and bring something for them. If life is stopped, then what else can he do?

He is not an unambitious concubine like Qiao Zhongda, he can give up everything and make money in business. He is not a concubine like Yan Bo who has suffered a lot, he no longer has extravagant hopes, and his heart is like water. He Meng Zhan does not need to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, nor does he need to worry about the imperial examination. He only needs to spread out all the things he has in the court. To the small, he wants to become famous, and to the big, although he wants to benefit the common people, although it is a little ethereal, it is indeed his life's ambition.

So if Yan Bozhai didn't move, Meng Zhan wouldn't move. This is his helplessness and his fate.

The sky gradually dyed with a large sunset, and the beautiful beauty stinged people's eyes. In the early spring, when it was warm and cold, it was still dark and early. Standing upstairs and looking through, I still can't wait for what should come.

Meng Zhan sat in front of the hall, watching a ray of sunlight pass through the window lattice, crawling step by step over the carpet woven with red flowers in front of his eyes, and finally completely disappeared into the window lattice. sighed deeply in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Qingting, "Mrs. Zhang, you won't blame me, right?" ”
