Liu Lu is a person who does big business.

Naturally, I know better than anyone that there is something strange about it.

People who do trading are very sensitive to information, after all, any information may bring about changes in commodities.

Because of this, people who have been on the street for a long time know the importance of finding out the news.

Therefore, almost all major commercial banks have special contacts to collect information.

And Liu Lu knows that there is no impermeable wall in this world.

It's like the Han Palaces in Annam.

A large-scale plan will inevitably be discussed within the Han Palace, and at this time, in fact, the news has begun to leak.

It's not that the people involved in the discussion deliberately leak the news, but that it's not a secret in itself.

Anything that is brewing and finally implemented is actually a process of crazy outflow of information.

Liu Lu probably calculated, if this is the case, the wind and grass on Annan's side, with his layout in Annan, he should be able to receive the news at this time, even if this news may not be as accurate as others, it can catch the wind and catch the shadows, and some general information can be received.

Indeed, located in Annan, there have long been Liu Lu's manpower, where he not only has many shops, but also a lot of mine sales, and the news channels are extraordinary.

Unless there is a possibility, that is, His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Royal Highness the King of Song conspired, and the two kept it a secret!

Then, on this side, His Royal Highness the King of Song laid out the layout in the capital, and on the other side, the King of Han covered the news, and then suddenly announced.

But this ......

Liu Lu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, he thought in his heart, His Royal Highness King Song is also a big family, could it be that in order to earn the interest rate difference of this bulk of steel, he drummed up a project of the Annan Railway?

So Liu Lu looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Yes, I have to ask, was there any news of Annan's victory some time ago?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "It has never been, at least thirteen days ago, from the news of the big shopkeeper over there in Annan, there was no such news." ”

"Thirteen days ago?" Liu Lu muttered: "In other words, at least thirteen days ago, in the news sent, Annan did not have a great victory!" So...... This great victory is also within these days. If the plan of the railway can be controlled, then can a great victory against the natives also be controlled? Or, is the news now simply fake, but fake news deliberately released by someone for profit? ”

"This ...... It's hard to say......"

"Don't be in a hurry to move yet, and wait and see, and wait for the news from Annan."

"Yes."

I waited for several days, but I didn't hear from Annan.

Just when many people began to mistakenly think that this was just fake news from Annan, at this time, Liu Lu's side, the firm was coming.

The people who came were anxious, almost non-stop, panting to find Liu Lu.

"Big boss."

"What, what's the matter, such urgency?"

"The big proprietor, Annan has a great advantage, so the shopkeeper Zhang Da instructed that the news should be sent urgently at all costs. Shopkeeper Zhang explained, saying that this news can be delivered even an hour in advance, and the owner can earn 10,000 gold in Qixia. ”

Liu Lu's body was shocked, but his face couldn't help but start to be weird.

He glanced at this person with strange eyes, and then said slowly: "This news, is it that Annan has won another great victory, and the Han Palace's announcement is to build a railway connecting the north and the south?" ”

As soon as these words came out, this person's body suddenly shook, and then, he became frightened, and hurriedly said: "East, East...... Villain...... The villain is not lazy, the villain knows that the stakes are high, so this way, he uses fast horses, and he does not dare to rest day and night, according to reason, the villain ...... The villain must have tried his best to deliver the news as quickly as possible...... This...... This ......"

The man's face was horrified and full of fear.

In fact, this can also be understood, such a big event, involving a big deal, a little earlier, you can still get a piece of the pie, but one step later, there is no chance of profit.

Because of this, Annan's side specially explained. The chosen person is also honest and reliable, and has a lot of energy.

Not to mention, in order to send the news early, it can be said that at all costs, the expenses along the way, and the replacement of fast horses everywhere you pass, it is like not wanting silver.

But as a result, the owner knew about it earlier than him, who sent the news, which shows that many people in the capital have already learned the news in advance.

And this man ...... It is also understandable to hurriedly defend himself, after all, no matter how you look at it, he is lazy on the road.

Compared with this person's shock, Liu Lu's face was even more terrifying.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, stared at this person, took a deep breath and said, "What time is this news?" ”

"The 7th ...... of September"

"The seventh day of September...... ...... seventh day of the ninth month," Liu Lu muttered, and said: "On the seventh day of the ninth month, there was news from Annan, and it was only the eighteenth, but it was only the eleventh, but it was ...... On the eighth day of September, the news came to the capital...... This...... This ......"

He felt more and more incredible, but with a complicated look, at this time, he didn't mean to blame this guy, but waved his hand and said: "I know, you go and rest, I will place you in the inn later, come and give him some reward." ”

When this man heard this, he was stunned, and he was very grateful.

But Liu Lu's expression became more and more solemn.

The news has been so many days in advance, and the news has just been promulgated on the Annan side, and His Royal Highness the King of Song will know about it, unless there is a tailwind, of course, this is impossible! Then there's a terrible possibility......

This may be that His Royal Highness the King of Song did collude with His Royal Highness the King of Han, and the two sides deliberately kept it secret, it seems that the construction of the railway may be fake, and it is true to take this opportunity to make profits together.

Originally, Liu Lu didn't want to believe this.

After all, His Royal Highness King Song has a big business, and over the years, he has not competed with businessmen for profit, but anyone who is a businessman, who mentions His Royal Highness King Song, is not full of admiration?

But...... At this time, Liu Lu had to admit this fact, because the truth is right in front of him, is there really a demon law in the world?

"Hey......" Liu Lu sighed.

In fact, at this time, not only Liu Lu, but many people have begun to learn the news from Annan one after another.

After they learned the news, their inner activities were almost the same.

Because, once His Royal Highness King Lian Song completely ignores the rules in order to make huge profits, everyone's prospects will be bleak.

Just when this person was panicking.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Someone pulled Zhang Anshi aside.

Hu Guang sneakily invited Zhang Anshi to his public room, and specially explained to several scribes in the public house who assisted him in the office.

Only then did he glance around, and then said, "Your Highness, there is something ...... Don't go overboard. ”

"What?" Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.

Hu Guang smiled weirdly and said, "Your Highness naturally knows it. ”

Zhang Anshi said directly: "I don't understand. ”

Hu Guang couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Hey, Your Highness...... This...... Do you have to find out the old man? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Please also ask Duke Hu to teach." ”

Hu Guang had no choice but to say: "Now outside, there are some rumors, saying that it is ...... Your Highness...... Recently, in order to earn silver, I actually ...... Conspired with His Royal Highness the King of Han and several people ......"

Zhang Anshi suddenly said angrily: "Who did you listen to, who slandered the innocence of this king like this?" ”

"Ah...... This ......" Hu Guang said: "Your Highness, don't deny it, although the old man is in Wenyuan Pavilion, in recent times, he has also studied the doorway here. ”

Zhang Anshi said strangely: "Hu Pingping doesn't read the sage book on the day? ”

Hu Guang couldn't help but show a little loneliness, and sighed: "It's useless to read it, and I was reprimanded by others for the old man for being ignorant and stupid, even his own son...... Also...... Strike, strike...... Don't talk about that. Your Royal Highness, we are scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, and His Royal Highness is deeply favored, and he is the king and worships the prime minister, how many people have such a favor in these dynasties? What's more, His Royal Highness has a lot of money, so why bother...... Do you have to compete with others? It's not good to pass it out......"

After a pause, Hu Guang continued in a deep voice: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is no gossip outside, His Highness doesn't care about his own reputation, but this matter ...... How long can you hide it? Sooner or later, it will be heard by heaven, if Your Majesty knows, what will you think of Your Highness? Ay...... Almost. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Oh, you mean that this king bought and sold some business orders? ”

Hu Guangdao: "Otherwise, what else can happen?" ”

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "But this is the silver that this king earns with his ability." ”

"By your ability?" Hu Guang frowned, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Your Highness, we have to speak with our conscience, are you relying on your ability?" If Your Highness is based on his ability, the old man will take off the head of the person on the neck and give it to His Highness as a kick. If there is no conspiracy to do such things, how can you buy one and the other? ”

Zhang Anshi was a little upset for a while, so he said: "This king and Hu Gong don't understand, there are some things, Hu Gong doesn't understand." ”

Hu Guang said seriously: "The old man just understands it too well, how can he not understand these little tricks?" Does His Highness really think that the old man is stupid, is he an old fool? The old man advises His Highness, and it is also for His Highness's good! People, after all, don't have too much greed, let's ......"

Zhang Anshi seemed to be really angry, and said with a brushing of his sleeves: "Okay, this king knows." ”

Zhang Anshi flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Hu Guang was unrelenting, he obviously didn't intend to let Zhang Anshi leave like this, grabbed his arm, and said, "Your Highness, tell you the truth, how much silver did you earn?" ”

Zhang Anshi didn't mean to hide it, and said unhurriedly: "It's only two or thirty million taels of silver......

As soon as these words came out, Hu Guang's face changed.

He was still thinking that His Highness was really terrible to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Or, if there are millions of taels, he must be furious, shouting, and competing with the people for profit, not a thing.

Strange to say, when this understatement of two or thirty million taels of silver came out of Zhang Anshi's mouth, Hu Guang actually showed an extremely complicated expression.

Hu Guang's eyes blinked, as if to say: It turns out that such black-hearted silver is so easy to earn, His Highness will take me.

But on the other hand, he was dumbfounded.

Hu Guang is not a saint after all, where in the world is wealth that does not move people's hearts? Let alone...... It's such wealth.

Zhang Anshi looked at him stunned for a long time, and suddenly said nothing, so he said: "Hu Gong, what's wrong with you, you won't have a bad disease." ”

"Huh......" Hu Guang let out a long breath of strength, as if he wanted to spit out the depression that suddenly rose in his heart, and then sighed: "Hey...... Such a kid, with a black heart, can easily earn such a family fortune, the old man is so innocent and upright, he actually ......"

Zhang Anshi's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Hu Gong, you are scolding? ”

Hu Guang looked at him depressedly and lamented: "Boy, you don't know how thick the sky is, you're finished!" Such a big wealth, unclear, now there are gossips outside, once it spreads, it is when you are ruined, young people do not know the height of the sky, if you still have a sense of reverence for the world, go to Your Majesty to ask for sin, return the stolen goods, bear the guilt, it is still too late. ”

Hu Guang is like this, no matter what he says or who he faces, everyone seems to have a low tolerance for him.

With a young and vigorous temperament like Zhang Anshi, he was almost scolded by Hu Guang, and if he changed someone else, he would have turned his face a long time ago.

But Zhang Anshi still said: "This can't be done, this king can't be sorry for his friends." ”

Hu Guang couldn't help but glared at him again: "Friend? Do you still have henchmen? ”

Compared with Hu Guang's excitement, Zhang Anshi said very calmly: "There are many, how can this king alone buy and sell so quickly and without a trace?" So many brothers follow this king, what Zhang, Zhu Yong, Xu Jingchang, Hu Mu or something... Oh, and that newfound Natsu Natsu Natsu what..."

Hu Guang stiffened his face and said, "What...... There is even Hu Mu ......"

Hearing his son's name, Hu Guang jumped up all of a sudden, his hands fluttering in the void, and this hand was extremely fast, and he actually waved an afterimage, quite the style of the lost lightning five whips.

Hu Guang's face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi, you are not a human being, you have lost your conscience alone, you still instigate others, the old man will go to His Majesty to ask for guilt......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said calmly: "Duke Hu can go." ”

Hu Guang: "......"

Hu Guang's heart was stopped, but Zhang Anshi walked leisurely.

Only Hu Guang was left stunned and stunned.

It's right at this juncture.

But suddenly someone said: "Your Majesty summoned Duke Xie and Duke Hu to meet him." ”

After hearing this, Hu Guang walked out of the duty room quickly, looked at the little eunuch who came here to summon him, and frowned: "What about the others?" ”

The little eunuch said: "I only say that I understand the Duke and the Duke Hu." ”

Hu Guang bowed his head, although he was in a bad mood, but His Majesty summoned him, but he did not dare to slack off.

So he straightened his clothes in despair, but he wondered in his heart, did he really report it?

But if you really want to report it, you can't seem to make up your mind, so you have to look preoccupied.

Waited until the Wen Building.

found that here, Zhu Yong and Zhang knelt firmly.

When Hu Guang saw it, his face turned pale.

But I saw Zhu Di scolding with a cold face: "If you don't learn the good, you specialize in the bad, if you don't know, unless you don't do it, do you think I don't know what you do?" ”

Zhu Yong and Zhang kowtowed and said together: "Spare your life, spare your life......"

Zhu Di glared at them angrily and said, "Some people say that you have done a lot of business in Qixia recently, and you Zhu Yong alone have earned 17.8 million taels, yes or no?" ”

Zhu Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "I earned some." ”

Zhu Di was furious and said angrily: "How can this be true! On weekdays, your Zhu family ...... Is there still less money to be earned? Do you know that you have done this...... Is this shaking the market? Who will dare to believe that I am going to implement a new deal in the future? Come, I ask you...... You two, who is the leader? ”

Zhu Yong and Zhang Mian looked at each other.

After a long time, Zhang Qiqi Ai said: "Your Majesty, I don't know, it's just ...... It's ......"

Zhu Di glared at him and said impatiently: "What's it?" ”

I don't know if it's because Zhu Di's appearance is too terrible, but Zhang didn't say anything, looking at him with a frightened face.

Zhu Di said: "Do you two still have to rely on the King of Han and the King of Song, saying that the two of them are the masterminds?" ”

Zhu Yong and Zhang were even more silent.

It sounds like a ...... One of his two brothers has to be a scapegoat?

Zhu Di's eyes fluttered, as if he had some calculation in his heart, and said in his mouth: "What, talk, why don't you speak?" Say, who is still in collusion with you? ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Without waiting for Zhu Yong and Zhang to report enthusiastically, Hu Guang was already thundered.

He felt as if he had lost all his strength all at once, his body staggered, and at this time, he could no longer support it, and poofed, and actually knelt on the ground.

He was about to plead guilty to his son Hu Mu, but something even more miraculous happened, but someone bowed down first.

When I looked closely, it was Xie Jin.

Xie Jin kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of ten thousand deaths......... Minister...... Follow ...... too"

Hu Guang: "......"

Hu Guang trembled, hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth to say: "Your Majesty, your ......"

Zhu Di sneered: "You two, do you still know why I summoned you? I really didn't expect you people to collude together. ”

Xie Jin said frankly: "The minister did not collude......"

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin coldly and said, "Oh? It's not Zhang ...... No, didn't Zhu Yong and Zhang invite you to do this? ”

Xie Jin shook his head and said: "That's not true, a few days ago, when I read the newspaper, I found that there were a lot of prices rising sharply, and I expected that this was very likely that someone was secretly shooting, so I paid attention, and then ...... The minister sensed a pattern......"

Zhu Di was slightly stunned, he obviously realized that he seemed to have misjudged Xie Jin.

At this time, he was a little calmer, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Xie Jin, and said, "What kind of law, come from the truth." ”
