"Xiao Jiu, although you are my nephew, I have always attached great importance to you, and the degree is no less than that of my three unscrupulous sons. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" The personable Du Ming stood in the reception room of the city hall, although the reception room had sofas and chairs, but the excessive cleanliness made Du Ming resolutely refuse to sit down, preferring to stand in the middle of the reception room all the time. Opposite him, there stood a young man less than thirty years old, the young man and Du Ming also had two neatly trimmed beards, and wore the same decent black peach leaf dress, and even the eyebrows had some similarities, and at first glance they were relatives of the same family.

"Thank you Uncle for the cultivation. The young man stood respectfully with his hands down and said in a low voice, "I always remember your kindness. ”

"Ever since the death of my poor brother, I have treated you as if you were my own children. Du Ming sighed and said, "Especially you, smart, ambitious, and dare to think and do, I have always believed that your future achievements are limitless, and even I have made plans, after I die, you will assist Xiaofeng, I believe that the two of you joining forces will definitely make the power of the Du family continue." ”

"I'm sorry uncle. The young man hung his head and said, "Du Hai has disappointed the uncle. ”

"yes, I'm disappointed. Du Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This time you have caused too much trouble, and I'm afraid you still don't know what the problem is." ”

"Indeed, I don't understand. The young man Du Hai bit his lip vigorously and suppressed his emotions and said, "I don't understand why what I did caused our family to suffer such a big loss, and I don't understand why I was grabbed by that person." ”

"Alas, Xiaohai. Du Ming slowly put on white silk gloves, patted Du Hai's shoulder and asked, "Why did you place that order?" I didn't ask for superficial reasons, but from the heart. ”

"I know that seventy tons of beef is enough to attract the attention of the wolves. Du Hai clenched his fists hard, "Once the wolves attack, you can hit the Sun family the number of private soldiers, not only that, because the people of the Lu family are also in the team, with Lu Hu's character of protecting the short, once Lu Qing has an accident, although he will not turn his face with our Brocade City because of the need, it will definitely seriously affect the relationship between the Sun family's Li family alliance and Sang Ma City, and even cut off trade with the two of them, when the time comes, our Du family can take advantage of the situation and include the trade of Sang Ma City in our pocket." Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the alliance between Sun and Li will not pose a threat to our Du family. ”

"Yes, good idea, I mean, really good idea. Du Ming nodded and said affirmatively, "But I want to ask you, how did you come up with this idea? No, no, no, don't be in a hurry to answer first, I know you came up with it yourself, but I want you to seriously recall how your idea was born in your head." ”

"This ......" Du Hai was stunned, looking at his uncle with a confused expression, not knowing how to answer at all.

"Think about it seriously. Du Ming insisted, "There must be a process from the birth to the maturity of your idea, and I hope you will work this process backwards, so that you know what the problem is." ”

"The process. Du Hai frowned and recalled carefully, "At first, when I was drinking with Song Qi that afternoon, Song Qi secretly told me that he planned to trap Sun Wei once, and if he was lucky, he could even make the Sun family suffer a big loss." He and Sun Wei have a very poor relationship, and it is not the first time that they have hurt each other, so I didn't think it was strange, so I asked him what he was going to do. ”

He said that he was going to delay the news of the wolves that night that should be delivered to Sangmacheng until the next morning, if the news was sent that night, Sun Wei would have had the opportunity to travel overnight in order to catch up with the wolves, and now that he got the news, in order to avoid the wolves, he could only stay in Sangmacheng for at least three or four more days, until the problem of the wolves was solved and then set off. Three or four days is enough for many orders from the Sun and Li families to exceed the time limit, which is a blow to the goodwill of the Sun and Li families. It would be better if Sun Wei refused to stay in Sangma City, maybe he would run into the wolves head-on and wipe them out. ”

Then I said to him, this method is really good, but the time must not exceed noon the next day, otherwise if Sun Wei has already set off at noon, and he will not receive the notice at that time, not only will Sangmacheng Xingshi chase him to pass the news, but also cause the Sangmacheng convoy that has already set off to have to return the same way, let them run in vain, maybe it will affect the relationship between the two cities. ”

"Obviously it's persuasion, but secretly it's actually reminding him that he can still do this, you're borrowing a knife to kill people, but it's a little too immature. Du Ming thought about it and said, "However, this is not the beginning, at this time, I'm afraid you have already thought of the plan of the order, that is to say, you have been thinking about how to use the order to deal a blow to Sun Wei." ”

"Well, I hadn't been thinking about it before, but it seemed that I did have a vague idea, and when I heard Song Qi talk about his thoughts, I suddenly figured out the whole plan. Du Hai himself was uncertain and said, "Why did you have these vague ideas before?"

Looking at the distressed Du Hai, Du Ming prompted, "Could it be that you heard or saw something before?"

"Ah, it seems so. Du Hai was shocked, raised his head sharply and said, "The earliest was when I chatted with a few people from the city guard at noon that day, talking about the problem of the strange beast tide. Well, in fact, I just got the news of the strange beast tide at that time, and I took the initiative to chat with them, wanting to inquire about the information. As a result, those people mentioned that during the previous meeting, the chief had revealed several plans to them, one of which was to use the animals in the breeding center as bait, and then launch a surprise attack on the wolves from all sides, and said that the strange beast tide five years ago used a similar method. ”

"Definitely. Du Ming nodded, "Yan'er told me that he used the livestock in the breeding center as bait. ”

"At this time, I didn't think about the plan for the order. Du Hai had already figured it out and quickly continued, "But not long after, I went to inspect the freight station, and on the way I heard someone say that I am afraid that the price of meat will rise, and it is better to save more." At this time, I thought that if I could let Sun Wei, who was the nearest to the nearest foreign trade order, buy a batch of beef from Sangmacheng, maybe I would have the opportunity to earn a lot of extra income for my family, but if I thought about it carefully, there were wolves, and Sun Wei could not pass the order for such dangerous goods, so I gave up this idea. It wasn't until I heard Song Qi's plan in the afternoon that I connected the two things and felt that it could be made into a deadly trap. ”

"Someone on the road mentioned that the price of meat is going to rise. Du Ming pondered and said, "Have you heard it more than once, do you remember how many times?"

"It's true that more than once, like four or five times. Du Hai finally understood what Du Ming meant, lowered his head and said, "I can't remember the specific number of times." ”

"And you don't even see who it is, the person who said that is mixed in with the crowd, right? Du Ming sighed, "Now you understand what the problem is?"

"This is a trap for me from beginning to end?" Du Hai said bitterly, "My thoughts are all guided by someone?"
