Paper can't contain the fire, and the Suzhou Mansion is so big that the death of the Beijing official soon spread all over the streets and alleys.

Hearing the news, the old man didn't get out of bed that day, and lay on the bed to die or live:

"Ouch, what can I do, the business of losing the New Year's currency is small, and offending the court is big, in case Lord Cao's death implicates the Shen family, we will be finished!"

The mother-in-law waited by the bed crying and crying, "I told you a long time ago, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, you always want to eat the imperial grain, this is good, the imperial grain is cooked, but when it is sent to the mouth, it is rancid, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat!" ”

"Daddy, don't worry, this transfer is dead, and the New Year's coin business is not yellow, but it's just a few days to postpone." Shen Wenjun comforted.

"Daughter, you are still too young, this Jingguan'er who was ordered by the emperor said that he would kill him, obviously someone did not want to promote this business, the forces behind it are monstrous, our Shen family is planted on this this time." The more the old man said, the more anxious he became, "cough cough cough ......" Woohoo lament, woohoo lament!

Shen Wenjun bit his lip and looked at Song Che with a clear gaze: "Husband, ......"

Song Che squeezed a smile and comforted softly: "With me here, don't be afraid."

"Uncle, a small official came to Suzhou Mansion, saying that it was summoned by Lord He." The servant was outside the door.

Song Che went.

Suzhou Mansion.

He Qiu was dressed in casual clothes, strolling leisurely in the garden, and he couldn't see the slightest panic.

If you don't panic, it means that everything is under control.

"The fire has burned his eyebrows, Lord He still has the heart to enjoy the flowers?" Song Che walked into the garden with a heavy heart.

He Qiu used a folding fan, teased the flowers, and said softly: "If you come, you will be safe, and your eyebrows will always grow when they are burned." ”

Song Che said in a deep voice: "If your head falls off, you won't be able to grow it." ”

He Qiu said: "There are people in my court, and there are people in your court, and the New Year's coins have never been lost, but a transfer envoy has died, and he can't lose his head." ”

Song Che sighed lightly: "You still have something to say directly." ”

"Someone came to the imperial court just now, saying that when the emperor heard about the assassination of the transfer envoy, Long Yan was furious, and ordered the Suzhou Mansion to find out the murderer within seven days, and transport the New Year's coins to Luojing within a month," He Qiu turned to look at Song Che: "If these two things are not done well, it is the real thing that loses his head." ”

Song Che frowned, as the old man said, there is an extremely powerful force that does not want to facilitate this transaction, and it will be difficult to transport the New Year's coins to Luoyang.

He Qiu said again: "It's not difficult to find out the murderer, after all, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, arrest Yang Xin to take the blame, and then take a little bit, and the transfer will be over - but it will be difficult to transport the New Year's coins to Luojing within the specified time limit, so I called you over to discuss the transfer strategy." ”

Song Che narrowed his eyes, "It seems that the emperor's will is to ask the Suzhou Mansion to do this, and my Shen family is just an honest supplier, what does it matter?" ”

"Don't, don't...... Aunt Song, don't leave the relationship so clear," He Qiu snorted lightly, "You also said that now we are people in the same boat, if I capsize, you will also be pulled into the water, not to mention that the New Year's coins cannot be delivered to Luojing in one day, and you don't want to get a penny,"

He smiled faintly and looked at Song Che: "Now, does Aunt Song have any good transfer plans?" Please speak freely, and I will not shirk what I can do. ”

Song Che was silent for a long time before he said softly: "This time, I will do business myself." ”

He Qiu said: "Suzhou and even Liangzhejiang, I can keep you safe, but if it is beyond my ability, I can't help you." ”

Song Che said: "That's nature, therefore, you must not press all the way alone. The Ming repair plank road darkness Chen Cang. ”

He Qiu was curious: "How do you strategize?" ”

Song Che said: "From Suzhou to Luoyang, there are two ways to choose, one is by land, and the other is by water - we can purchase two batches of goods, one is true, one is fake, the real one is by water, and the fake one is by land in person;

The fake batch of goods should be fanfare, and the real batch of goods should be carried out quietly. Confusing the truth with the false, covering the truth with the false, the true and the false, the false and the real, will definitely be able to hide from the sky and cross the sea. ”

He Qiu smiled: "It seems that Aunt Song really doesn't want to lose this business. ”

Song Che has always been very disgusted with the relationship with the imperial court, but the New Year's coin is what the Shen family has always been looking forward to, so he has to take it, and now it is wrong, and he can only make the mistake wrong, gritting his teeth, with tears, standing up to the danger, and doing it to the end.

"I just want to keep my family safe."

"Follow me into the study, you and I will make tea and talk about the plan in detail."

……

To plan well, land routes must attract firepower.

Song Che had already taken precautions.

By land, starting from Suzhou, passing through the Yangzhou border of Huainan Road, and then passing through Luzhou, going north to Shouzhou to Jingxi Road, the whole journey is nearly 2,000 miles, trekking through mountains and rivers, full of calculations, and must travel 100 miles a day to deliver on time.

Take the waterway, from the ditch to the canal, the whole journey also takes more than 2,000 miles, sailing against the current, you need to pull the slender man, but the matter is artificial, spend more silver, hire a slender man day and night, and the speed will not be slower than the land route.

In short, the land route is a cover for the waterway, and once the waterway is safely delivered, it is okay to abandon the land route.

The land route was personally transported by Song Che, and the waterway must also find a veteran - Chen Rencai, when the Feiyun Gang was in turmoil before, he transported the goods by water as usual, and there is no doubt about his experience in business, and he is the only one who does the work of waterway transshipment.

Chen Ren is He Qiu's cousin, Song Che can't do business, and he doesn't want to get the balance of his family, everyone is in the same boat.

"Without further ado, after I went back, I asked someone to transport the coins to Chen's in batches, and then Chen's to the dock in the evening. Then, I want you to allocate 200 officers and soldiers, 20 servants, and 10 experienced dart masters to go out of the city with me early tomorrow morning. ”

"No problem."

"Besides, you have to write a few more degrees, and all the counties and states that the business route passes through must be taken care of."

"No problem."

"Also, I injured the murderer, I can't guarantee that he will take revenge on my family, and you have to protect my family during the months I have been away."

"No problem."

"In the end, all the costs of this transfer, including dots along the way, will be reimbursed by your Suzhou government."

"Hmph, what a profiteer...... But no problem. ”

"Song Che farewell!"

……

Leaving Suzhou Mansion and returning to Yunshuifang, Song Che began to work on tomorrow's business.

According to the plan, the real New Year's coins were quietly transported to the west of the city in batches. Fake coins are wrapped in coarse cloth wrapped in straw as the inner core, and then covered with a layer of real cloth on the surface, so that not only can they be fake, but also save a lot of effort for long-distance horses.

300,000 horses of brocade cloth, fully loaded with fifty carts, and worked until the fourth watch, Song Che returned to the Shen Mansion, but he did not rest, he decorated gunpowder, muskets, explosives, medicines, electric batons, mobile phones, power banks, and everything that could be used.

By the way, I also wrote a letter of resignation.

This time I went to Luoyang, at least two or three months, and more ...... I don't know when I will return. If the plan can't catch up with the changes, it really provokes some forces that can't be dealt with, and severing the relationship with Shen Wenjun can also make the Shen family not be implicated.

After doing all this, it has been nearly five watches.

Song Che went back to the bedroom and secretly got into the quilt, and Shen Wenjun also habitually shrunk into his arms, so he hugged his wife like this, keeping his eyes open until dawn.

He never imagined that the original plan for the autumn business was now more than a month ahead of schedule.

No matter how reluctant Gentle Township is, it's time to set off.

Song Che got out of bed gently, stuffed the book of resignation under the pillow, and walked out of the bedroom slowly.

Shen Wenjun tossed and turned twice, felt out the envelope under the bed, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears, she hurriedly jumped out of bed, didn't even wear shoes and socks, caught up with Song Che, who had just gone out, and threw herself into his arms like hesitation, and burst into tears in an instant, crying and crying.

When he had enough of crying, he sobbed and raised his head and asked, "Don't you want me anymore?" ”

Song Che held back his tears, replaced him with a smile, scratched Shen Wenjun's nose, and wiped her tears: "I am a son-in-law who is rich, and it seems that I am not qualified not to want you, only my name is signed on this letter of resignation, you judge the situation." ”

Shen Wenjun bit his lip and blamed himself, "It's all my fault for being bad, what kind of coin business I was looking forward to, but in the end I hurt my own Langjun......"

"We are businessmen, where there is money to be made, we will drill wherever we want, and it is normal to have risks, be bold and relaxed, and everything will be fine." Song Che comforted and gently pushed Shen Wenjun away.

Shen Wenjun was reluctant, but he couldn't stay, so he could only hesitate and break his steps, "That'...... So when will you be able to come back? ”

"When the snow falls, it's the day I return."

Song Che waved his hand and didn't look back once, not because he didn't think about it, but because he was afraid of becoming forever.

……

When Song Che pushed the wheelbarrow to Yunshuifang, 200 officers and soldiers, 20 officials, and 10 dart masters were ready.

He Qiu handed over two burdens, one was Du Mu, and the other was heavy silver. Song Che checked it casually, and it weighed a thousand taels to say the least, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tut...... Suzhou Mansion will be a bloody one. ”

He Qiu snorted lightly, "Since the last donation, Suzhou Mansion has long run out of money, and these silver taels are my private sponsorship for you." ”

Song Che happily threw into the wheelbarrow, and asked in a low voice: "Can the waterway goods go?" ”

"I set off last night, it was my He family's merchant ship, and I had installed a servant to pretend to be a business traveler along the canal, and it was foolproof," He Qiu changed his words, and it was rare to let go of his arrogance, and carefully advised:

"But you take the land route, you have to be very careful, especially when you enter the western part of Beijing, you don't have to think that the feet of the Son of Heaven are very safe, it is not as good as a real knife and a real gun, and it is often a hidden arrow that hurts people;

If you really encounter difficulties, you can take it to Luoyang Mansion, as long as it is not a big basket, you can make up for it. ”

"Thank you, Lord He, for reminding me, I hope I don't need that letter."

Song Che clenched his fists, said no more, loaded the wheelbarrow into the carriage, and called: "Let's go." ”

Fifty cars, more than two hundred people, mighty and mighty, drove out of the city.
