Chapter 50: Conspiracy

Wangjiazhuang, Xu's house.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Mrs. Xu was wearing a silk robe, leaning on a bamboo chair and feeling comfortable, and the two maids, one on the left and one on the right, were gently shaking with a feather fan.

Liu Dayu looked at the appearance of Mrs. Xu, couldn't help wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Uncle is in a good mood." ”

Old Lady Xu opened her eyes and glanced at Liu Dayu, and then asked, "Sun Qian's side has been contacted?" ”

Liu Dayu picked up an herbal tea next to him and drank it all, and then said, "Uncle, don't worry, it's all right." ”

Liu Dayu poured another cup of herbal tea for himself, and then continued: "I have already sent four batches of sorghum over, and now this is the last batch, and after it is transported, Sun Qian's side can connect with the people who broke the king." ”

Old Lady Xu nodded slightly and said, "This time, we can't cooperate with Sun Qian, a salt lord, but there is no way to do it." After all, Sun Qian has a close relationship with King Chuang, and this time he is exchanging a large amount of sorghum for King Chuang's military equipment. ”

Liu Dayu looked at the old lady Xu who was suffering from gains and losses, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Just last month, the salt lord Sun Qian sent people to Huangshandun to find Liu Dayu, and proposed to unite against Liu Yan in revenge for Liu Yan's refusal to trade sea salt.

Sun Qian's conditions were very tempting, the Xu family would pay for the purchase of sorghum in large quantities, and then Sun Qian would come forward to contact the people of the king, and exchange a large amount of sorghum for military equipment, so as to equip Sun Qian's men and horses and strengthen their strength as soon as possible.

Once everything was ready, with Sun Qian's men and horses as the main force, the Xu family paid for the guide to attack Liu Yan's industry and Dapanbao. At that time, the silver and materials grabbed by Sun Qian and the Xu family will be divided fifty-fifty, and the other population will belong to Sun Qian, and the industry will belong to the Xu family.

At this time, Liu Yan was the thorn in the side of Sun Qian, Mrs. Xu, and Liu Dayu, and the two sides hit it off, and then began to plan.

Although Mrs. Xu was a little drumming in her heart, when she thought of Liu Yan's own troubles, she kept Wanfu Oil Mill and forced her nephew away, so she made up her mind and spent a lot of money to buy sorghum around Wangjiazhuang, almost dominating the entire sorghum business in the Wangjiazhuang area!

Liu Dayu was not idle, and he and Sun Qian connected several times in Huangshandun, and handed over a large number of sorghum, and the cooperation between the two sides went very smoothly.

At this time, seeing that Mrs. Xu was so worried, Liu Dayu said: "Uncle, don't worry, the person who connects with Sun Qian is a businessman under King Chuang, and they are all business dealings on the surface, and no one will suspect it." Although Sun Qian is a bit insidious, he is still very disciplined and cautious in doing things. ”

"As for our side, when I contacted Sun Qian, I was in Huangshandun, and now Sun Qian's people are still living in Huangshandun, so as not to let others find Sun Qian and leak the news. I heard that Liu Yan has been looking for Sun Qian all this time, and that little flag official Wang Yue is spreading messages everywhere looking for people! ”

Old Lady Xu frowned slightly, and said, "What is Liu Yan looking for Sun Qian for?" ”

Liu Dayu shook his head and said, "I don't know, could it be that Liu Yan sensed Sun Qian's hostility and wanted to do it first?" ”

Old lady Xu nodded, this is the matter between Liu Yan and Sun Qian, it has nothing to do with him, as long as Sun Qian can charge into battle for himself.

However, Mrs. Xu is still a little worried, Sun Qian is a salt lord after all, and he is used to seeing no king on weekdays, once he does it, will the situation expand, and it will be difficult to involve Wang Weizhen, the officer in charge of the team, when the time comes.

Here, Old Lady Xu had scruples in her heart, and although she was determined to join forces with Sun Qian, she couldn't help but say a few more words: "Be careful in this matter, you must be foolproof." The people who do it head-on must be Sun Qian's people, and the people of our Xu family, as well as the Dun army of Huangshandun, can't come forward, understand? ”

Liu Dayu looked embarrassed and said: "Uncle, that Sun Qian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if none of us come out, Sun Qian's side will not be able to say it, at least we must send a few people to lead the way, which is also a good thing." ”

Old lady Xu didn't respond, closed her eyes and didn't move. Seeing this, the two maids got closer, one of the maids continued to shake the feather fan, and the other maid opened up Mrs. Xu's clothes a little, and then dipped a silk handkerchief in water, and wiped Mrs. Xu's sweat little by little.

Liu Dayu sat aside, watching the beautiful maid who was only a teenager wiping the old lady Xu little by little, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help jumping a few times, which inevitably felt a little violent.

After a while, Old Lady Xu breathed a sigh of relief, then opened her eyes and said, "Since this is the case, then let Jia Jingtao, the head of the Fuzhong Family, come forward and take a few family members to act together." ”

Liu Dayu frowned slightly and said, "Jiaotou Jia? Who doesn't know Jia Jiaotou in Wangjiazhuang! Isn't it a little inappropriate to let Jia Jiaotou act with Sun Qian, in case Jia Jiaotou is recognized when he raids Liu Yan, the matter will be revealed! ”

Old Lady Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, just let Jiaotou Jia and them mask a few of them." This matter must be concealed, let others go I don't worry, only if Jia Jiaotou is cautious, I can sit back and relax. ”

Liu Dayu was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and said: "I think Jia Jiaotou is only arrogant, where is there caution to do things!" ”

Old lady Xu suddenly lowered her face and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired, you go back to Huangshandun first, don't always run to me during this time, I will send someone to inform you if there is something." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Xu looked at the two maids and laughed, and then the two maids helped Mrs. Xu to get up and leave, and walked towards the room not far away, along the way, the three of them kept laughing, making Liu Dayu's eyes widen and a regretful expression.

Liu Dayu turned around and left, preparing to return to Huangshandun, when he met Jia Jingtao, the head of the family, and the two met and exchanged a few words.

Liu Dayu immediately pulled Jia Jingtao aside, found a remote place where no one was, and said what Old Lady Xu meant just now.

"It's no wonder that Jia Jiaotou has come forward in this matter, so it is naturally foolproof. It's just that Liu Yan is not an ordinary person and is very cunning, so this time Jia Jiaotou must be cautious and must not let Liu Yan seize the handle. ”

Jia Jingtao raised his head and smiled, and said: "Then Liu Yan is just a general banner, what can he do if he grasps the handle, and what evidence can he have?" It's also the other way around! ”

"Jia Jiaotou may not know that the relationship between Wang Weizhen, the manager of the team, and Liu Yan is not ordinary, and the two secretly have a lot of interests. Once Jia Jiaotou's side is not secret, let Liu Yan know something, Wang Weizhen, the manager of the team, will definitely intervene strongly, and then things will be difficult to control! ”

Jia Jingtao sneered and said: "Liu Zongqi rest assured, our Xu family has the care of the thousands of households in Xiahe Village, although they are all officials of hundreds of households in Wang Weizhen, but Dai Baihu is a hundred officials of thousands of households, and the status can not be compared with Wang Weizhen!" If Wang Weizhen doesn't know what to do, then I don't mind taking risks and killing Wang Weizhen directly, anyway, Dai Baihu will help clean up when the time comes. ”

Hearing this, Liu Dayu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly grabbed Jia Jingtao, but saw Jia Jingtao wave his hand and walked away without care.

Seeing this, Liu Dayu stomped his feet angrily, and scolded angrily at Jia Jingtao's figure: "Waste! Idiot! Sooner or later, I'll be implicated by a piece of waste like you, bastard idiot! ”

A few days later, Liu Dayu delivered the last batch of sorghum to Sun Qian, who immediately contacted the thieves, and the two sides finally agreed to be in Tiepu Mountain, a hundred miles north of Wangjiazhuang.

The original name of Tieqi Mountain is Jiaoshan, which means the town mountain of ancient Jiaozhou. "Qi Ji" is Qianai Mountain, "Water Jing Note" is the cabinet Aishan, and "Qi Cheng" is the Iron Mountain. The highest peak of the main peak is the Huixian Peak, the mountain is towering, and the color is as black as iron.

On this day, Sun Qian led more than 30 of his men to the Cherry Valley in Tiepu Mountain, where a convoy had been waiting for a long time.

There were more than 40 people around the convoy, all of them were strong men, but the first one was a scholar, with a white and thin face, giving people a sense of humility and courtesy.

Sun Qian and his more than 30 men also drove eight ox carts, which were loaded with sorghum. Seeing the people in front of him, Sun Qian motioned to his subordinates to wait for a while, and then stepped forward with a few henchmen, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Hehe, the white shopkeeper has been waiting for a long time, sin, sin!" ”

The white-faced scholar smiled and saluted, and then said, "Leader Sun is polite, let's not say much, let's settle first." ”

"Okay, okay."

On weekdays, Sun Qian was used to being arrogant and arrogant, but at this time, he became cautious in the face of this white-faced scholar, and his words became polite, beckoning his subordinates to drive the ox cart over and let the other party count the number of sorghum.

After a while, more than a dozen subordinates of the white shopkeeper finished the inspection, and the first one nodded to the white shopkeeper to confirm.

"Hehe, Leader Sun really believes in his word, this batch of sorghum is being harvested!"

Sun Qian smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." Let's take a look at things below, okay? ”

The white shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile: "Please here." ”

Then Sun Qian and the white shopkeeper came to the convoy, and then selected a few cars to check, only to see that the ox cart was full of all kinds of knives, guns, bows and arrows, but these blades were relatively old, but they could all be used.

As for firearms and armor, there are none.

However, Sun Qian is already very satisfied, although he has also raised a team of dozens of people over the years of selling illicit salt, most of his subordinates use sticks and even farm tools. Now the control power of the government in Shandong is not bad, even if Sun Qian has silver, it is very difficult to get batches of military knives and guns.

But now, the white shopkeeper is here, and Sun Qian has equipped dozens of his subordinates at one time.

The white shopkeeper travels between Shandong and Henan all the year round, on the surface he is a merchant who sells grain, and behind his back he is a spy of the thief army, not only spying on intelligence for the thief army in various places, but also using some garbage blades eliminated by the thief army to exchange food and silver for a small group of thieves in various places to supply the needs of the thief army.

After the inspection, Sun Qian clenched his fists and said: "Okay, now that the delivery is complete, the white shopkeeper has worked hard, and it will be easy to go all the way!" ”

The white shopkeeper smiled and said, "Let me ask you more, I don't know who Leader Sun is going to deal with with these blades, or if he has a big deal to do?" ”

The smile on Sun Qian's face dissipated a lot, and then said: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, under the jurisdiction of the Qianqian Household of Xiahe Village, Liu Yan, the head of Dapanbao, has a grudge, and this time I want to ask that Liu Yan for an explanation!" ”

"Liu Yan?"

The white shopkeeper sneered and said, "A mere chief flag officer, can he be so aggressive as Leader Sun? Presumably Leader Sun has a plan! ”

"Humph!"

Sun Qian said with a hideous face: "Liu Yan has a wealth and doesn't let me send it, that is, his calamity has come, and I will definitely want Liu Yan to die!" ”
