Zhang Cang coughed lightly, trying to attract Ji Heng's attention.

Ji Heng glanced at Zhang Cang a few times, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he really didn't have anything to say, just Zhang Cang's size, he wanted to say that he ate less sweets, but in history, Zhang Cang lived for more than a hundred years, and he was not confident that he could live longer than Zhang Cang.

After waiting for a hundred years, Zhang Cang is still there, and he sighs from time to time.

Alas, all those who advised me to eat less sugar died back then.

It's a beautiful scene.

Ji Heng really didn't want to encounter it.

He pondered for a moment, and slowly spat out the four words.

It's good now.

Zhang Cang's face darkened.

Very good?

Where is he doing now?

Since the eldest son 'confided' with him, he can be said to be afraid, lest he make a mistake, catch someone else, and then go to prison.

And his great talent, who doesn't know the Imperial History Mansion?

As a result, it was always in last place.

He was indeed peaceful, but he was somewhat resentful.

Ji Heng smiled and said: "Zhang Yushi, you are a master disciple of Xunzi, you are well-read, and you are proficient in the study of planning, and now although your reputation in the world is not obvious, but one day, you will be like your other senior brothers, famous, and looked up to by the world, you have this background." ”

Ji Heng finally added two sentences.

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang was relieved.

Several layers of folds appeared on his fat white cheeks.

Looked at.

Everyone couldn't help but be happy.

After a burst of laughter, Ji Heng estimated the time and said to the outside of the hall: "Come on, go and take Feng Dong, Cheng Zheng. These people will come back again. ”

Hearing Ji Heng's name, Fu Su frowned slightly.

Because the number of people has decreased.

Originally, there were eleven salt merchants and iron merchants.

This time, there were only six of them.

This amount has been reduced by nearly half.

Fusu looked at Du He, Zhang Cang and others, only to see the two of them looking at their noses and noses, and turning a blind eye to this, he thought about it slightly in his heart, showing a thoughtful look, he combined with Ji Heng's various practices, and roughly guessed Ji Heng's thoughts.

The government has been robbed, how can the businessmen retreat?

Merchants also need to be held accountable.

Those who are not invited are those who are abandoned.

Fusu's eyes were slightly condensed.

He pondered in his heart the merchant he had called.

But it is still a little unclear, Ji Heng's specific screening criteria.

It stands to reason.

Cheng Zheng and Feng Dong can be said to have done all the bad things, and they came forward to do most of the businessmen, these two families obviously had bad intentions, but Ji Heng not only did not blame the past, but even raised his noble hand and deliberately gave the two families a chance to survive.

There must be a doorway in it.

It's just that I haven't noticed it yet.

Fusu didn't ask.

He knew that it would be clear then.

Zhang Cang sat on the side, already completely in the sky.

These things are easy to understand.

The more Feng Dong and Cheng Zheng shouted in front of them, the more frightened and uneasy they would become after they thoroughly clarified the truth, once these people fell to the Qin court, they would become extremely loyal, because others had excuses, but they didn't.

Because these people are talking the whole time.

They will bear the consequences.

They can't afford it.

Therefore, no matter how fierce the battle is in front of you, how many sides of the battle will be, and how completely you will fall in the end.

After a while, Zhang Cang retracted his mind.

When his gaze swept over the field, he fell on Ji Heng's body, and paused imperceptibly, this pause was very short, and he moved away after only one breath.

He understood Ji Heng's plan.

It's just that under Ji Heng's light and breezy mask, he directly determined the life and death of several businessmen, which is completely contrary to what he kept saying before: 'people-oriented' and 'between heaven and earth, there is nothing more precious than people', and even completely inconsistent.

The so-called 'people are expensive' seems to be just tools.

Coming as soon as it is called, it is going to go as soon as it is called.

Such people are terrible.

Because he has always shown justice and awe-inspiring outside, but in fact he is unscrupulous in private to achieve his ends.

It's inevitable to get along with this kind of person without chilling.

A thought.

He really wanted to see Ji Heng's true face.

He was very curious if this kind of person with different hearts and mouths would be born from his heart and look like a vulture.

It's just that this thought is fleeting in my heart.

He was indeed curious.

But it's not enough to cause trouble.

Ji Heng showed people with a mask, and he didn't want to gain insight for the outside world, if he knew his face, he would definitely solve the doubts in his heart, and he was afraid that he would also cause more trouble for himself.

He wasn't curious enough to die.

Everyone sat in the lobby.

The other side.

Feng Dong and other businessmen staggered home.

When I went, I went in pairs, and when I came back, I was alone.

Feng Dong's gray hair is very messy, he is really a person who is not good-looking, he is not tall, but his demeanor is full of rickets.

In the past, Feng Dong was undoubtedly a green pine on the rock in the eyes of the Feng clan, but in less than ten days, this green pine was in danger of withering.

He sat on the steps.

But he didn't enter the house for a long time.

He raised his head and looked at Feng's Gaomen compound, his heart full of Qi.

His eyes were full of sadness.

In just ten days, he endured too much.

Also lost too much.

His eldest son Feng Zhen, Feng Wen and Feng Wu brothers, and other outstanding clansmen are all arrested by the government at the moment, and the Feng family, which is already a little young, is now completely withered, and the huge mansion can't find a few people who can support the family, how sad is this?

And what kind of scenery was Fung in the past?

The family property is ten thousand gold.

Bronze door fine stone, hundreds of people, such as the city.

But in just half a year, most of the clansmen fled, and there was not much property left, and the Feng family was even more in danger.

The Feng Wall that he personally built.

Now he has to watch Feng's building collapse with his own eyes.

All of this is inseparable from one person.

It's just that Feng Dong can't hate it.

Don't dare to hate.

This person has too much calculation, too deep calculation, it is not at all they can compete with, he is very sure that if he dares to cause any more trouble, this person will definitely retaliate by more cruel means, unlike ordinary fighting and killing, this man is scheming.

He doesn't kill easily.

Instead, it will continue to torture and toss.

Let them live rather than die.

Looking at the bleak courtyard, Feng Dong came from his heart and cried loudly.

The cry was mournful.

Soon.

The closed door of the Feng family opened.

Feng Dong's son Feng Ce opened the door of the house, and saw his father sitting on the steps crying bitterly, with a hint of panic in his eyes, he looked around, but he didn't find his brother's figure, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, where is the eldest brother?" ”

"Parents."

The other tribesmen wept bitterly.

Feng Dong didn't say a word, just cried on the side.

Wait for the crying to stop.

Gradually, he regained his composure.

It's just that there is no longer the old look in his eyes.

With Feng Ce's support, Feng Dong slowly entered the house.

The rest of the clan followed, their eyes full of unease and trepidation.

They don't have much in mind.

But it can also be seen that the clan is very bad.

Entering the lobby, Feng Ce drove the other clansmen out, closed the door tightly, and said with a panicked face: "Father, where is the eldest brother?" Why didn't he come back? ”

Feng Dong didn't speak, just shook his head.

"It's over, I'm done." After a long time, Feng Dong cried and laughed, muttering these words in his mouth.

Feng Ce blushed and said comfortingly: "Father, my Feng family will not have an accident, the government did not find evidence so quickly, even if my brother is arrested, he can also beg, if the government really does nothing, then he will not do anything, and he will flee with his family." ”

Feng Ce didn't think about it that much.

His idea is very simple, since Xianyang can't stay, then stay in another place.

They still have a little money in the Feng clan.

As long as the means of doing business are still there, they may not be able to rise again.

Feng Dong looked at Feng Ce, who had a reckless face, closed his eyes dejectedly, waved his hand and said, "Go out, my Feng clan is completely finished, and there will be no place for my Feng clan in the world from now on, let alone anyone will tolerate the existence of our Feng clan." ”

"One wrong step, one wrong step."

"From the last time when the government soldiers were bloodless and took away our foundation, I should have reacted, we are just cheap businessmen, how dare we fight against the government?"

"Huh."

"After all, I was blinded by greed."

Feng Ce frowned, a little unsure of what his father said.

Feng Dong did not explain.

just waved his hand weakly.

Feng Ce hesitated, didn't dare to disobey his father's words, and slowly exited the lobby.

Out of the lobby, the Feng clan immediately rushed up, gossiping about the situation, Feng Ce's eyes showed a touch of anger, and he scolded a few times before everyone retreated.

He was also uneasy.

The father, who is as stable as a rock in the clan, how can this frightened appearance not make people worry?

It's just that he doesn't know what happened to his father when he went to prison.

I don't know what I've experienced.

Therefore, he can only stomp his feet back and forth outside the house.

That's when it happened.

There was a noise of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Feng Ce's eyes were even more angry, and he immediately scolded: "What do you want to do? Do you really think that if the eldest brother is not here, I can't do anything about you? ”

"Someone! Put."

Before Feng Ce's words could be spoken, he saw a soap-clothed official appear in the courtyard, his face changed, and he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and greeted him as if flattering, and said worriedly: "Official, what are you here for this time?" ”

The soap-clothed little man looked arrogant.

He was just a small official, and no one cared about it in the past.

But during this time, under the successive measures of the government, I also deeply realized that the change in the attitude towards himself in the Feng clan, from the initial disdain to the current panic, this feeling that makes people snort is too pleasant.

Even.

He also developed a sense of pride.

He glanced at Feng Ce contemptuously and said coldly, "What are you?" Let Feng Dong answer. ”

Feng Ce's eyes showed a fierce look.

But in the end, he didn't dare to have a seizure.

Soon.

Feng Dong, who was disheveled and had blank eyes, came out.

The little official looked at Feng Dong's miserable appearance at the moment, sneered, and said, "Feng Dong, how can you say that you are also a big salt merchant in Guanzhong, you should also pay attention to your own edges, what kind of system is so messy?" Now hurry up and clean up for yourself, and then follow me to the prison office. ”

"The eldest son, please go again."

"Again, please?" Feng Ce questioned.

The little official said coldly: "What? Do you have an opinion? ”

"Don't dare."

"If you don't dare, you'll be right." The little official said disdainfully: "The government is doing things, and it is not your turn to point fingers." ”

"You businessmen should recognize who you are."

I came back a little late today, and I went to squint after dinner, which delayed a little time.

Normal updates will begin tomorrow.
