He asked the four of them to come in and talk to him, what have you gained these days?

The Tian family was the first to stand up and report to Ling Jingyang that he had successfully contacted the former Shanxi trade partner and persuaded the other party to sell grain, but these grains were only gifts, and the main trade was to buy pig bristles.

Ling Jingyang kept nodding, the Tian family was very shrewd, and did not expose the purpose of selling grain, but used pig bristles as a cover, he asked the head of the Tian family, how much grain can he buy?

"My lord, my Tian family has enough brown rice for 700 stones, but these brown rice are more expensive, and we have to buy 100 quintals of pig bristles before they are willing to sell grain and grass to us."

Ling Jingyang said a little coldly: "How much does it cost to sell pig bristles, as well as grain and grass?" ”

The head of the Tian family felt that Ling Jingyang's tone was a little cold, but in front of interests, he still gritted his teeth and talked about the other party's offer.

The pig's bristles were one hundred taels of silver, and the grain was twenty taels of silver and one stone, and after he finished speaking, he touched the sweat on his forehead.

As soon as these words came out, the other three heads of the family despised the Tian family, where is this trade, it is completely a money grab.

The head of the Tian family didn't dare to look at Ling Jingyang, but Ling Jingyang didn't say anything, just at this time, Dong Daqi took more than a dozen personal soldiers to set up defense outside the door, these personal soldiers were all soldiers who had seen blood on the battlefield, and ordinary people saw it far away.

The head of the Tian family felt ashamed in his heart, thinking that Dong Daqi was here to kill him, but his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, this kneeling made Ling Jingyang confused, and before he could speak, the head of the Tian family slapped himself wildly.

"The general spared his life, and the villain was also forced."

Ling Jingyang suddenly held his breath and asked, "What's the matter, you did something rebellious?" ”

In fact, when the head of the Tian family went to Datong City to discuss business, he found a former trade partner, saying that he wanted to buy some pig bristles and grain and grass, he didn't know his trade object, but the Jin merchants who had a close relationship with the Qing army.

As soon as this Jin merchant heard that he wanted pig bristles and grain and grass, he thought that the Tian family might be doing things for the Dashun army or the Ming army, so he hurriedly asked people to contact the Qing army, and offered attractive conditions to lure the Tian family to do things for them.

The head of the Tian family did not dare, and the Jin merchants told him that the Qing army was about to attack the Dashun army in Shanxi.

At that time, the entire Shanxi, Henan, Beizhili and other places were the sphere of influence of the Qing army, and the Tian family could be unimpeded in the sphere of influence of the Qing army, which was much stronger than following other forces.

Ling Jingyang stared at the head of the Tian family coldly, the old man of the Tian family did not really surrender, he just brought a message and made a microphone.

"My lord, the other side said that as long as you bring the troops over, what was it before, what it will be in the future, everything you need."

Ling Jingyang's killing intent gradually revealed, and he looked at the old man of the Tian family and talked eloquently: "Did you say that we are the team of the Great Shun Army?" ”

"The small one didn't say it, the small one said that the adult was an official soldier, and he was forced to surrender to the thief, and he didn't want to follow the Shun army, and he wanted to have a better future."

The words of the head of the Tian family saved his life, Ling Jingyang put away his murderous intent, and said to him: "What's your person's name?" ”

"The villain is just a connection with the shopkeeper below, and the villain who is the head of their house really doesn't know him."

Wen Bu stood up and said to him: "Which one is it, with such a big face?" ”

The head of the Tian family hurriedly said to Wen Bu: "Brother Wen, you don't know, they are the Shanxi giant Fan family. ”

As soon as these words came out, the other three family heads all gasped, there is only one Fan family in Shanxi who has such a big breath, Ling Jingyang looked at everyone's expressions and asked, "Everyone, this Fan family is a local hero?" ”

Speaking of which, the other three families began to gossip and Ling Jingyang to introduce the Fan family, Fan Yongdou, the head of the Fan family, but a well-known businessman in Shanxi, I heard that this person had a deep relationship with Jiannu outside the Guan, and even the local officials in Shanxi wanted to scold him.

Wen Bu is younger, and he knows a lot of gossip, and Ling Jingyang said that the Fan family used to do business with the Mongols and was resident in Zhangjiakou, the capital of Wanquan, Ling Jingyang hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Isn't it Xuanfu Town?" ”

Wen Bu nodded, yes, it's Xuanfu Town, Ling Jingyang's anger and blood were tumbling for a while, and he suddenly remembered what the origin of this Fan family was, it was Fan Yongdou, the representative of the Jin merchants, in the past few decades, that is, the eight Jin merchants led by Fan Yongdou gave blood transfusions to the Qing army, so that they could survive outside the pass.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The four major families looked at each other, how could they know Ling Jingyang's thoughts, Ling Jingyang felt bored, and said to the head of the Wen family: "You go to connect with the Fan family, just say that we are willing to negotiate with them, as long as you can afford to give money, everything is easy to say." ”

The four major families are all a little anxious, isn't Ling Jingyang a mortal enemy with the Qing army? Why did he suddenly want to surrender, the head of the Qiao family is now Qiao Delong, he has some contempt for Ling Jingyang, and thinks that it is no wonder that the army went to Yanmen Pass, but Ling Jingyang led the main force in Wei County, and he was holding such a stinky fart in his stomach.

The expression on Qiao Delong's face was fully seen by Ling Jingyang, and he said to Qiao Delong: "Qiao Delong, do you have some complaints? ”

Qiao Delong was asked by Ting Jingyang, so he simply let it go, anyway, the Qiao family also went to Yanmen Pass with Houying, and he was alone in Wei County, and he died if he died.

"Ling Jingyang, I think you are a dog, yesterday you fought with the Qing army to the end, and today you have become a dog who wags his tail and eats bones."

Wen Budi hurriedly covered Qiao Delong's mouth, but Ling Jingyang was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and his eyes gradually revealed murderous intent.

"Jodron, you're a tough bone."

Qiao Delon raised his head and snorted coldly.

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it."

His attitude made Ling Jingyang furious: "Come on, drag it out Ling Chi." ”

Ling Jingyang suddenly became extremely brutal, Dong Daqi led two personal soldiers to rush in from outside the door, tied up Qiao Delong with a thumb-thick hemp rope, and dragged him outside, Qiao Delong was dragged upside down, scolding Ling Jingyang for being a mongrel, and he didn't let go of Ling Jingyang as a ghost.

"Hurry up and chop him alive."

The other three families trembled with fright, they didn't expect that Ling Jingyang was so brutal, he was talking and laughing just now, and he would kill him in the blink of an eye.

After a while, Qiao Delong's miserable cry sounded outside the door, it was the scream of the iron knife after cutting into the flesh, Ling Jingyang and the old man Tian continued: "You hurry back, go and contact the Fan family, just say that we are willing to follow General Jiang, as long as the silver and grain and grass are enough." ”

The head of the Tian family cried with a sad face, he was actually unwilling to surrender to the rebels and the Qing army, hoping to follow the Dashun army: "General, the little old man has bad legs and feet, this time I go to Datong City again and again, I am afraid that it will fall apart, and I ask the general to invite another Gao Ming." ”
