Chapter 31: Hot Potato!
Xin Zhi wanted to take down the Chengbei Wharf, but he didn't know much about it before that, so he asked Wen Daheng to investigate, and after Wen Daheng brought the news back, Xin Zhi frowned slightly.
Originally, he didn't estimate this matter to be simple, but it was so complicated that it was beyond his expectations.
Xin Zhong said: "The Yangtze River is a golden waterway, especially this section of Jiangyin, which is the junction of inland rivers and oceans, where maritime trade and inland trade converge, and it is a real place where wealth gathers."
The other docks are now owner-owned, and this pier in the north of the city is dead because of Shen Tusheng, so others have the opportunity to reach in, how can they not fight? ”
Xin Zhi nodded, turned his head and said to Tycoon Wen: "Tycoon, you carefully tell me the details of these families." ”
Wen Daheng was originally Shen Tusheng's subordinate, so he naturally knew a lot about the situation at the dock, so he hurriedly talked about it in detail.
"The main ones who want to meddle in the north of the city this time are Shen Tu Ying and Shen Tu Yue, Shen Tu Ying is Shen Tu Sheng's younger brother, and the Lu family should be behind him.
As for Shen Tu Yue, he is Shen Tu Sheng's brother, Shen Tu Sheng's grandfather has three sons, Shen Tu Sheng's branch belongs to the big house, the second room has no ability, and the third room is Shen Tu Yue's branch.
Shen Tuyue also has a fleet in his hands, but he is on the sea, and it is said that there are still pirates, and he has a close relationship with the Xu family in Yangzhou, and it is estimated that the Xu family wants to intervene.
Yangzhou Xujia is engaged in maritime trade business, is a famous maritime merchant in Lianghuai, because the Jin soldiers arrived in Liuhe, Yangzhou is now in danger, probably want to take a foothold in Jiangyin, this is a dragon across the river, not easy to provoke.
In addition to these two, the Jiangyin clan is also staring at the dock, but they know that they are short of energy, and they probably won't interfere openly, but it is estimated that they will come over to fish in troubled waters when they have the opportunity.
But the villain heard that Hui Xikai, the Jiangyin guard, probably had some ideas about the north wharf of the city, and if the army intervened, it would be a big trouble at that time. ”
The Lu family, the Xu family, pirates, maritime merchants, and military ...... Sure enough, it's a hot potato.
Xin Zhi frowned and thought for a while: "The Lu family has Shen Tu to win, and the Xu family has Shen Tu Yue, they are fighting for the family property of the Shen Tu family, and it is justifiable, we want to get involved, but there is no name, tycoon, did Shen Tu Sheng leave his family?" ”
Wen Daheng nodded and said: "Yes, but it is about equal to nothing, Shen Tusheng's original partner did not give birth to a son and a half daughter to Shen Tusheng, he died of illness a few years ago, and a few years ago he took a sequel, but he gave birth to a descendant, but it was a little girl, so the rest of the Shen Tu family would come out to earn family property." ”
Xin Zhen's eyes lit up: "That's okay, who said that women are not as good as men, girls are also descendants of Shen Tusheng, she has this qualification, tycoon, you are Shen Tusheng's most trusted subordinate, and now that Shen Tusheng has died tragically, as his subordinate, shouldn't you help the widow of the old lord inherit the inheritance smoothly, so as not to lose the inheritance?" ”
Wen Daheng hesitated and said: "I understand what you mean, Son, but I'm afraid it's not that simple, Shen Tusheng's wife and daughter have been protected by Shen Tu Ying's faction, and we may not be able to see each other." ”
Xin Zhi said unhappily: "What to protect, that's hijacking!" It's to annex Shen Tusheng's family property! Got it? ”
Wen Daheng smiled bitterly: "I understand, I understand, but the villain really has no choice?" ”
Xin Zhi smiled: "It's okay, didn't you have some of your subordinates before, and they were all killed?" ”
Wen Daheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "The villain still has some fellow villagers on the dock to recruit, but these people alone have no way to rescue Shen Tusheng's wife and daughter." ”
Xin Zhi looked at Xin Zhong and said, "Loyal master? ”
Xin Zhong nodded and smiled: "How many people do you have?" ”
Wen Daheng smiled bitterly: "It depends on how much money you have, if the money is enough, you can call about twenty or thirty people, if the money is not enough, there will be only about seven or eight people." ”
Xin Zhi said: "How much does it cost?" ”
Wen Daheng stretched out a finger and said: "At least a hundred, you can call twenty or thirty people, and this money is not much, after all, there may be fights on this trip, and it is normal to kill a few people." ”
Xin Zhi nodded and said: "Lord Zhong, give the tycoon ten taels of silver first, tycoon, you go and gather them first, eat and drink or something, then it will be your team, you can gather together, and you will have energy in the future, if you can't, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." ”
Wen Daheng was overjoyed: "Son, don't worry, this villain is still competent!" ”
Xin Zhong gave Wen Daheng ten taels of silver, and Wen Daheng rushed away.
Xin Zhi looked at Xin Zhong and said, "Master Zhong, I have to make your move this time, can you do it?" There are a lot of guards in the Shen Tu family, and they may have to fight in a real fight. “
Xin Zhong shook his head and smiled: "It's just a local chicken and a dog, Xiaolang, don't worry, the old slave will definitely bring Shen Tusheng's wife and daughter back to you." ”
Xin Zhong's self-confidence made Xin Zhi very interested, this self-proclaimed old slave Xin Zhong, Xin Zhi actually didn't have much impression.
Xin Zhi had also asked Xin Qiji about Xin Zhong's past, but Xin Qiji didn't say much, but said that Xin Zhong was a homeless person taken in by his grandfather Xin Zan, and because Xin Zan saved his life, he stayed in Xin's house.
And Xin Zhong is actually not very old, when Xin Qiji was young, in fact, Xin Zhong was only a teenager, and now he is only in his thirties.
As for Xin Zhong's return to the south, there were no together, it is said that there were still some grievances that had not been dealt with, and he went back to take care of some things, as for what things, Xin Qiji didn't say much.
Xin Zhi grinned and said, "Master Zhong, your father's martial arts were also taught by you, so where did you learn your martial arts?" ”
Xin Zhong smiled: "Family heirloom." ”
Xin Zhi continued to ask, "Then your family must be very remarkable, right?" ”
Xin Zhong shook his head and said: "It's nothing remarkable, it's just a Jianghu person who eats with a knife, the Great Song Dynasty is rare to be a scholar, and a martial artist is an inferior person, so you have to study hard, of course, now is a troubled time, if you become an official in the future, you may also have to go to the battlefield, learning martial arts is also self-preservation, and you have to study hard." ”
Xin Zhi continued to knock on the side of Xin Zhong's origin, but Xin Zhong refused to say more, Xin Zhi asked Xin Zhong what grievances he was dealing with in the north, and Xin Zhong revealed a little.
"Actually, there is nothing, just kill a few traitors, the Shandong rebel army was originally powerful, but out of Zhang Anguo, a traitor, the good situation will be put into water, those traitors who defected to the Jin soldiers, don't take care of them, how can they be happy."
Xin Zhi asked about killing those people, but Xin Zhong didn't hide it: "Zhang Anguo has a few subordinates around him, Zhang Anguo asked Da Lang to kill them, and other people can't let them live." ”
Xin Zhi was surprised when he heard this: "These people are all mixed well, at least they all have to be generals with troops, did you really kill them one by one?" ”
Xin Zhong smiled: "It's not difficult, they always have to leave the barracks." ”
Xin Shu hissed and gasped.
It's easy to say, but how can it be so simple to assassinate a general in the army, who doesn't go out with a group of guards, and can kill people in the guards, this ability is not ordinary!
