Chapter 35: Framed
"My Cheng family's business, not everyone can control it at will, Brother Cao speaks, it's better to be careful, don't flash your tongue in the wind."
Cheng Lang turned around and pointed his finger at Cao Shiyou, who was talking ruthlessly.
Cheng Lang has become more and more active in the past two years, not only has his height grown to nearly nine feet, but he also often runs around, dealing with all kinds of people, and when he smiles kindly, he is really as simple as a big boy. When his face was expressionless, with the momentum of the southern supervisor of the Cheng family's stone, Cao Shiyou, who was suddenly suppressed, no longer dared to say a word more.
is still the same sentence, in this world, we all respect Luo shirt first and then respect people.
In addition to dressing, height, gender, and momentum are all criteria for measuring a person.
It's like when he first arrived in Tongcheng, Cheng Yuguan went out to talk about business, and he always had to take his relatives to deter.
Cheng Lang is much more convenient, he can come forward by himself.
Again, a big man with a height of nearly nine feet talking to you, and a girl less than seven feet tall, has a very different deterrent power.
This is also the main reason why Cheng Yuguan gradually retreated into the background. can solve the matter with one face, Cheng Yuguan doesn't want to make extraneous branches.
Today, Cheng Lang is in the Tongcheng base camp for the first time, revealing a corner of his hideous face.
Cheng Yuguan also followed the third cousin and turned around, calmly looking at the few people in front of him.
Liu Zeming and the others reacted at this time, from the moment Cheng Yuguan's cousin appeared, it was this calm face, I originally thought it was an ordinary girl pretending to be cold, but now it seems that the calm seems to have something deeper.
"Tongcheng is a good place, the scenery is beautiful, the people live in peace, your family in Tongcheng generation after generation, enjoy the peace, or don't stir up trouble at will, otherwise, the results of several generations of hard work will be ruined, you will no longer have the mood to play in leisure now."
"Who are you scaring about?"
Cao Shizhen stood up and stood with his brother.
For some reason, seeing Cheng Yu locked up beside Cheng Lang, she wanted to do the same.
"I don't like to talk falsely, and I don't scare anyone, but I kindly remind you."
After speaking, Cheng Yuguan turned around and looked at his cousin, "Let's go, third cousin, don't you want to see the scenery?" ”
Cheng Lang listened, stretched out his hand and asked Cheng Yu to enter the Baiyun Temple, and after Cheng Yu was locked in, he turned around again, "You'd better listen to my little sister's words." ”
As a final reminder, Cheng Lang felt that he was benevolent and righteous, shrugged his shoulders, walked into Baiyun Temple, and disappeared in front of everyone.
waited until the Cheng family's guards also left, Cao Shiyou, Liu Zeming, and Dong Wenping subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now in front of the two brothers and sisters of the Cheng family, they were in a hurry, and they didn't want to weaken their momentum in front of the two brothers and sisters.
Now that the two of them are leaving, several people subconsciously look at each other.
"Brother Liu, the Cheng family has a knighthood, and it is normal for his young lady to be arrogant, what he said just now seems to be a little inappropriate for the noble girl, otherwise, I will come forward another day and ask Brother Cheng to come over and make amends alone? You also want to return to Beijing in the future, it's better to have a friend like Brother Cheng than to make enemies, right? ”
This turned out to be what Cao Shiyou, who had just stalked his neck and said cruel words.
Wang Qin was behind a few people, with no sense of existence, and listening to Cao Shiyou's words at this time, he suddenly felt that the three views were crumbling.
It turned out that the personable and beautiful son in the past was such a pragmatic and tacky person, Wang Qin seemed to have re-acquainted himself with the "brothers" he grew up with since childhood in just a few days.
Dong Wenping was taught a lesson by Cheng Lang two days ago, and it was when he was unconvinced, when he saw a few quarrels, he couldn't wait for someone to be angry for himself, so he immediately retorted, "Brother Cao's words are wrong, Brother Liu is Liu Xuezheng's only son, and inviting that Cheng Yuguan to go on a spring outing together is to give her face." It was she who had to make a big fuss and save Brother Liu's face, if she said that she would make amends, it should be the Cheng family and Brother Liu who would make amends. Also, General Cheng doesn't have a brother, this kind of cousin in the next room, maybe she was born with mud legs, and she dares to stand in front of Brother Liu, if you let it go easily this time, you let Brother Liu return to Beijing in the future, how to face the nobles in the city? Maybe the brother and sister will still rumor in the capital that Brother Liu confessed today. It's about a man's face, and he can't bow his head easily. ”
Dong Wenping, who can't hold back the article on weekdays, is at length at this time, saying that he is in Liu Zeming's minefield. made Liu Zeming's already dark face even more ugly.
"Brother Wang!"
Liu Zeming suddenly remembered Wang Qin, who was the closest to the Cheng family among all the people.
"Brother Wang, do you know, where is Cheng Yuguan from? Who is related to Cheng Lang? ”
Liu Zeming was not carried away by anger, and he also knew how to watch people put dishes on the plate.
In the past, Wang Qin would only tell the truth, saying that Cheng Lang of the Cheng family still had to listen to Cheng Yuguan, so as to avoid conflicts between friends as much as possible.
But after these days, after seeing the ability of several people to change their faces, Wang Qin suddenly had some kind of evil thoughts, he wanted these so-called "smart" people in front of him to hit the south wall, let them know that to be a person and do things, you still have to be down-to-earth, see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when you see ghosts, and finally have a miscalculation.
"Miss Cheng is Brother Cheng Lang's cousin, I heard that because she was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, she has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to be lively, so she often stays in the backyard of Cheng's stone shop.
Wang Qin said.
"It turned out to be an orphan girl?!"
Liu Zeming's originally suppressed fire was burning again.
Cao Shizhen was also a little surprised, "Looking at her confident appearance, I thought..."
Cao Shiyou also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "This is also normal." Girls have been pampered by their families for several years, and they are always inevitably spoiled, and no one is in their eyes. ”
Dong Wenping also had a hideous smile on his face, "In that case, let's..."
Liu Zeming erected a folding fan and interrupted Dong Wenping's words, "Hey, there are many people with mixed mouths, and we think about it in the long run." ”
…
Today, a branch closest to Tongcheng, Wuling Mansion, suddenly came with news, saying that a group of water bandits suddenly appeared in Quyang River and intercepted the Cheng family's goods.
Cheng Yuguan was a little surprised when he heard the news suddenly.
"I said that there were water bandits in Pengze Lake before, why did I go north to Wuling today?"
The southern part of Jingzhou is close to Jiaozhi, the water system is complicated, and the waterway is smooth, so it is a chaotic place, and there are often bandits haunting and fishing in troubled waters.
Occasionally, the water bandits dare to go north to offend, and they are usually beaten by the Jingzhou Navy Division garrison and dare not show their heads.
Suddenly appeared in Wuling this time, Cheng Yuguan naturally felt surprised, how could he go north so quickly, didn't the garrison react?
Cheng Lang waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a few guts and bandits, take me and bring people forward, and I will definitely ask for this batch of goods back and deliver them on time." The reputation of our Cheng family stone cannot be delayed by a few bandits. ”
Cheng Lang received the news and hurriedly prepared to leave.
Cheng Yuguan thought about it, but still didn't stop it.
said that it was a bandit, and the twenty or thirty people in the sky were not worth mentioning compared to the scale and force of the Cheng family. Moreover, the Cheng family has been in Jingzhou for many years, and it is not the first time that they have faced bandits, so they are naturally not afraid.
"Third cousin, be careful, bring more men and big ships, and don't go to hand-to-hand combat with those outlaws."
Cheng Yuguan stood at the door of the shop and sent his three cousins to departure.
When Cheng Lang heard this, he waved his hand and led the team to set off.
Cheng Yuguan stood at the door of the shop, looking at Cheng Lang's back, and didn't turn around and go back until he couldn't see it.
"Miss Cheng!"
Cheng Yuguan stood still, turned to look at the source of the sound, and it turned out to be Wang Qin, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Prince Wang can come one step late, my cousin has just left the city."
Cheng Yuguan greeted with a smile.
Wang Qin looked a little anxious, looked in the direction of the city gate, and then looked at Cheng Yuguan, "How is this good?" I just heard Dong Wenping say that they deliberately gave the water bandits a letter just to lure Brother Cheng over. If there is a mental calculation or no intention, will there be an accident there for Brother Cheng? ”
Cheng Yuguan was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "When and where did Wang Gongzi hear the news from whom?" Is there a more specific plan? ”
Wang Qin thought for a while, "I heard a word and a half when I was drinking with Brother Cao and Brother Dong last night, I don't know the specific content, but I just heard that they want to separate your brothers and sisters and teach each of you a lesson." ”
Wang Qin's news is vague, but the Cheng family's goods are really lost, thinking about the appearance of Liu Zeming and Cao Shiyou, Cheng Yu is concerned and decided, thinking about their appearance, he can't make a name for himself.
Cheng Yuguan looked at Wang Qin, "Thank you Wang Gongzi for reporting the news, I will ask someone to inform my cousin to be more careful in a while." Wang Gongzi will go back first, and if you come up with any other information later, please let me know as soon as possible. ”
Wang Qin nodded vigorously, "This is natural." I accidentally drank too much yesterday in order to find out more news, and I got up late today, so I didn't catch up with Brother Cheng. ”
Wang Qin was a little annoyed in his words.
Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "Wang Gongzi doesn't have to blame himself, after all, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves." I'm grateful for you to let me know in advance. This is also the relationship between you and your cousin for two years. ”
Hearing Cheng Yuguan say this, Wang Qin was a little uncomfortable, he lowered his head, and said a little embarrassed, "Then I'll go first and see if I can go back and inquire about some news." ”
"Wang Gongzi walks slowly, don't be too reluctant."
Cheng Yuguan watched Wang Qin leave.
"Miss, what's wrong with this prince? Is his word credible? ”
Cheng Yuguan's family relatives Cheng Lei looked at Wang Qin's back and said.
Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "Don't worry about him, you go to the Tongcheng garrison to report the news first, just say that someone is ambushing your cousin, and ask him to respond." This time, maybe you can catch turtles in the urn and make a contribution. ”
Cheng Lei listened to it and smiled, "Our Cheng family has been buying boats to train people for many years, but it's not fun." The people Lang Ge'er took away are all good players trained by the clan, and if they really want to meet the bandits, it is not certain who will die or who will live. Don't worry, I'll go to the garrison and give him this ready-made credit. ”
After speaking, Cheng Lei turned around and took people and went to the garrison camp outside the city.
Cheng Yuguan entered the store, found two clever guys, and asked them to chase Cheng Lang on horseback and send him a warning letter.
In any case, it's good to be on guard.
…
The Cheng family first came to Tongcheng and kept a low profile for a while at first.
Because Tongcheng has a well-developed water system, ships are mostly used for delivery rather than horses.
The Cheng family is a hero right away, and it's hard to say on the water.
In the past two years, delivering goods everywhere, coupled with intentional training, the Cheng family's water kung fu has gradually become familiar, and the water bandits who used to smell and change color are now all ignored. Just like in the past in the merger state.
Cheng Yuguan always believed that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery would be futile. That's why she chose the stone industry, which requires hard power.
Because in this industry, only if there are enough raw materials, manpower, horses, and boats, that is to have the right to speak.
Unlike other businesses, the threshold is too low, and in order to negotiate a single business, others have to pick and choose.
And the Cheng family is not a simple businessman. Backed by the title of General Shenwei, in the past two years, the eldest uncle has been reused in Beijing. is in Jingzhou, a place far away from the emperor, although the Cheng family is not obvious, but to be honest, they don't put anyone in their eyes.
Including water bandits.
A few ignorant bandits who are brave and ruthless, not worth mentioning.
Back in the shop, Cheng Lang took away dozens of relatives, Cheng Lei took away a few guys in the shop, and Cheng Yuguan sat at the counter.
Stone shops are usually not open for three years, but they are open for three years. So she sat down, and was very leisurely, took out the letter sent by her uncle, and replied as appropriate.
Looking at the letter, if she and her third cousin returned to Beijing, Cheng Yuguan drifted out far away in the deserted shop.
The Cheng family is powerful, inconspicuous in the capital, but in Jingzhou, Yangzhou Yizhou, a remote and rich land of three states, the development momentum is violent, and now Yizhou has found a stone origin, and the acquisition has begun to grow and develop, that is to say, the purpose of Cheng Yuguan and his three cousins from the capital to Jingzhou has been fully achieved. Next, hand over the shop in your hand to your relatives, and they can retire successfully.
The patriarch's uncle thought the same way.
has the identity of the patriarch's uncle, Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Lang don't have to run around, and hand it over to the clansmen, but the ownership of the shop is still in the hands of Cheng Yuguan and the uncle's family.
There is nothing unfair about this, with the talisman of the eldest uncle, the Cheng family's business can develop and grow, otherwise, the Cheng family will have to live a poor life in Chengjia Village.
Therefore, Cheng Yuguan withdrew and left, and his control of the business would not have much impact.
For now, it's a matter of choosing a day to return to Beijing.
The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Not only did Cheng Yuguan, a reborn person, enjoy the freedom of Tongcheng, but even the third cousin was reluctant to return to Beijing.
When you return to your parents, although you can enjoy the joy of family, you have to be bound by your elders and the capital. Where is there a pleasure in Jingzhou.
So originally he didn't need Cheng Lang to come forward this time, he had to lead the team to set off. Because he knows that after returning to Beijing, there will never be such a wanton and enjoyable time.
The third cousin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has spirit in his bones.
Cheng Yuguan could even imagine that when the guy informed him that someone might be in ambush, Cheng Lang would not only not be afraid, but would be even more excited.
Thinking of his third cousin, Cheng Yuguan shook his head and continued to think about returning to Beijing.
When the third cousin comes back this time, it can't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, the letter said that the eldest uncle would send the second cousin to arrest him.
In addition, what Cheng Yuguan didn't want to go back to the most was a sentence mentioned in his uncle's letter, saying that the third cousin had been crowned, and Cheng Yuguan was also approaching, and the two of them were going back to Beijing to find out about getting married.
Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan sighed.
