"Decay obeys." Feng Dong arched his hand.

He stroked his hair with his hand casually, making the messy ends of his hair a little neater, and then looked at his second son, and said in amazement: "Take a good look at the clan, if I don't come back"

"Let's go our separate ways."

"Father." Feng Ce's eyes were anxious.

Feng Dong shook his head and sighed lightly: "Falcon for a thousand days, there will be such a day." ”

"That's it."

Feng Dong walked out of the courtyard tremblingly.

His steps were already very faltering, and seeing this, Feng Ce hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help, but was stopped by Feng Dong.

Feng Dong waved his hand and said, "No need." ”

"I can do it alone."

After speaking.

Feng Dong waved his hand at the little official, and walked straight to the front.

The little official laughed and had no opinion.

Soon.

Feng Dong went to the prison office again.

This time, the little official did not lead him to the lobby, but took him directly to the back hall.

By the time Feng Dong arrived, there were already several people standing in the field.

Seeing Feng Dong coming, Cheng Zheng took two steps quickly, walked up to Feng Dong, and said with an uneasy expression: "Brother Feng, you are also here, you are usually the most knowledgeable person in our group, you come to analyze for us, what is the so-called matter when the government called us here this time?" ”

Others were watching.

Feng Dong smiled bitterly and sighed: "What else can it be?" ”

"It's for salt and iron."

"The various measures of the previous government are actually just taking advantage of the opportunity to launch the 'business law', and now the goal has been achieved, and we have all become traitors among the merchants, you must not forget, Mr. Zhong in front of him was so targeted, but he did not mention salt and iron."

"The government really didn't get anything?"

"Impossible!"

"The government is likely to have insight into some of the situation, and now they are trying to force me to wait."

Cheng Zheng's face was slightly gloomy,

The expressions of several people present were very ugly.

The previous government has already harmed them so badly, if they start to interrogate the matter of salt and iron. I'm afraid that no one present will be able to get out alive, after all, they are all participants, and the government's attitude is so tough.

There was an air of despair and depression in the back hall.

Bang!

With a muffled sound.

The back hall, with the door open, closed abruptly.

Hearing the sound behind them, the five people were also startled.

When the five of them turned around, they saw 'Mr. Zhong' and walked over.

This time, Mr. Zhong was the only one.

The previous eldest son, Tingwei and others are gone.

Feng Dong and the others had slightly different expressions.

But they didn't feel the pressure weaken, but felt like Mount Tai was overpowering, pressing them a little out of breath.

Mr. Chung's methods are unpredictable and unpredictable.

They really don't want to go through it again.

With the eldest son and others on his side, this person is still restrained, and what will be done by only one person at the moment is really unthinkable, and it is really unthinkable.

Feng Dong and the others said, "I've seen Mr. Zhong." ”

Ji Heng nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

said.

He clapped his hands.

Soon, a few servants entered the house and brought a cup of tea to several people.

Ji Heng said: "This is Xinyang Maojian. ”

"I stumbled upon a tea that tasted quite good."

"You can try it."

Hear the words.

Feng Dong and the others' faces sank.

They are already frightened birds, and they subconsciously have the greatest bad intentions for all of Ji Heng's actions, and even they think that this so-called tea is poisonous.

Ji Heng sat on it.

He looked down with a mocking expression.

Don't rush.

There is no hurry.

Not annoyed.

Looking at the green tea, Feng Dong also beat a drum in his heart, he couldn't guess Ji Heng's thoughts, and then thought about it, their life and death had long been in the hands of this person, and they still used such means as poisoning?

That's it.

Feng Dong's restless heart calmed down a lot.

He reached out and lifted the tea bowl, and a slightly hot touch came from his fingertips.

Feng Dong looked around, and no one was drinking, while the others looked at him, as if expecting his attempt, Feng Dong hesitated for a moment and took a sip.

Tea in the stomach.

Feng Dong immediately frowned.

Astringent.

It doesn't taste very good.

Feng Dong put the tea down, although it didn't taste good, he also found out.

This tea is non-toxic.

Ji Heng looked at Feng Dong with interest and asked, "How does the tea taste?" ”

Feng Dong arched his hand and said, "Mr. Huizhong." ”

"The taste is light."

"Astringent."

"The old man has always liked salt and sugar, and he is not used to drinking this weak tea."

"Then wait." Ji Heng said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Feng Dong frowned.

He looked at the tea suspiciously, not knowing what Ji Heng meant.

Hearing the conversation between Ji Heng and Feng Dong, Cheng Zheng and the others leaned on the hand on the tea bowl and immediately retracted it.

Wait? What are you waiting for?

Waiting for poison?

After more than ten breaths, Ji Heng asked again: "How does it feel now?" ”

Feng Dong's brows furrowed even tighter.

He really didn't know what Ji Heng wanted to ask.

He pursed his lips and made a gesture to try to fool around.

Forthwith.

Feng Dong's expression was slightly different.

He looked at the tea sharply, and said with some uncertainty: "This tea seems to be a little extraordinary, slightly bitter at first, with a little astringency, but now it is full of sweetness, and the lips and teeth are fragrant." ”

"It's a little weird."

said.

Feng Dong took another sip.

This time, instead of taking a small bite in front, it is directly taking a big bite.

He smacked his lips.

It seems to be savoring the taste of tea.

Long.

He nodded with certainty.

My guess is correct, it is indeed sweet at the beginning.

Feng Dong was surprised: "I don't know the treasures in front, this tea is indeed a good product." ”

"Old man, thank you, Mr. Zhong."

Ji Heng said calmly: "The first taste of tea will indeed be unpalatable, but if you can taste a few more sips, you can find the taste, and tea also has the effect of refreshing the mind." ”

Hear the words.

Feng Dong and the others were stunned.

They subconsciously looked at the tea bowl in front of them, and their eyes showed a strange color.

Cheng Zheng and others, who originally didn't dare to drink tea, also hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and hurriedly drank a few sips.

As a businessman.

They know the value.

Not to mention that the taste is acceptable, if it really has the effect of refreshing and refreshing the mind, the value is great.

But soon the expressions of several people dimmed.

Once the government's commercial laws come down, when they are really implemented, they, the salt officials and iron officials, can only operate salt and iron, no matter how good the tea is, it will not fall on their heads, and now that the value of tea is known by the government, how can it be left to them?

Ji Heng can feel the change in the atmosphere in the field.

He said lightly: "Let's put aside the taste of tea for the time being, have you ever felt a lot clearer?" ”

Hear the words.

Feng Dong's eyes condensed slightly.

He didn't know why Mr. Zhong asked.

Ji Heng did not delay, and said directly: "The people in front of you are depressed, like frightened birds, and now you have recovered a lot, which shows that drinking tea is still useful." ”

"At least it's sobering up."

"Mr. Zhong, what do you mean by this?" Feng Dong asked curiously.

Ji Heng smiled and said, "It's not interesting, I just want to talk to you about something." ”

"What?" Feng Dong's gaze was uncertain.

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Don't you really know? ”

Feng Dong and the others trembled, and still pretended not to know: "Please also ask Mr. Zhong to make it clear." ”

"Salt and iron!" Ji Heng said coldly.

Feng Dong was expressionless, just arched his hand, and asked with a blank expression: "The old man didn't understand what Mr. Zhong said. ”

"Salt iron?"

"Mr. Zhong should know that the salt and iron of our salt merchants and iron merchants have all entered the water, and there is indeed a lot of salt and iron left in the hands of each family, but although there are less than 10 million people in Guanzhong, there are still millions, how can we fill such a huge demand?"

"Mr. Zhong thinks highly of us."

Ji Heng bowed slightly, as if he recognized these words.

He raised his hand, pointed around, and said lightly: "You can look around, maybe you will find something." ”

Hear the words.

Feng Dong and the others looked slightly shocked.

They hurriedly looked around, but there was no obvious notice.

But.

They didn't take their eyes back.

Still looking around with a solemn face.

Waiting.

Cheng Zheng suddenly spoke: "Why are there only five of us, and the other six?" ”

Hearing Cheng Zheng's words with a little fright, the others also reacted suddenly, what about Cao Bingsheng and the others?

They were all there last time.

Why didn't you call them this time?

Is it intentional?

Or did you accidentally go wrong?

"You should be sober now, and the tea has been in your stomach for a while, so you should be sober." Ji Heng's voice came faintly and fell into everyone's ears, but they only felt cold and cold.

It makes people shudder.

What did Ji Heng's words mean, how could they not hear it?

It's intentional!

Cao Bingsheng and others were decided.

Ji Heng supported the big case with one hand, leaned forward slightly, like a tiger descending from the mountain, looking at the five people below, he said coldly: "Now you should be completely awake." ”

"You can also talk about salt and iron."

"Salt and iron into the water."

"You know better than anyone else."

"Stop telling falsehoods that you don't know and don't know."

"It doesn't make any sense."

"Salt and iron will be handed over to the imperial court, and I will save your life."

"What do you think of this deal?"

Quiet all around.

Feng Dong, Cheng Zheng and others were silent.

No one spoke.

They all hung their heads, not knowing what to do.

Looked at.

Ji Heng sighed lightly and said slowly: "It seems that you still don't know a little about your current situation, I will give you a little more time to calm down, and the time for a cup of tea should be enough." ”

"When I come back, I hope to hear a satisfactory answer."

"Remember."

"Now the only one who can save you is the imperial court!"

"Don't make a mistake."

After speaking.

Ji Heng got up and walked to the back hall.

The door was reopened, and the room was silent.

Cheng Zheng looked around vigilantly, gathered the people together, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, what do you think Mr. Zhong is calculating in his gourd?" What exactly does he want us to calm down? ”

"Where will Cao Bingsheng and the others be?"

"Will he be dealing with us on the one hand, or the eldest son and others on the other side, dealing with Cao Bingsheng?"

“.”

Cheng Zheng asked a lot in a row.

He was now a snake, wary of anything.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

How can they know this?

This Mr. Zhong is too skilled in playing with this set of 'false and real, true and false', and no one knows what is true and what is false, but they dare not be careless.

It's about your own net worth and life.

Feng Dong did not speak.

He stood at the outermost end, quietly sipping tea.

But his expression gradually became clearer.

But soon.

His expression darkened, and the corners of his mouth were full of self-deprecation, full of helplessness and grievance.

He had regained his composure and was gradually sorting out his situation.

They were really shocked by Ji Heng's series of actions in front of them, almost like frightened birds.

Feng Dong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I probably guessed what Mr. Zhong wanted us to calm down and sober up, our heartstrings were too tight during this time, we were already a little too panicked, and we had already lost our sense of proportion, and what we thought was completely instinctive." ”

"This was actually in Mr. Zhong's expectation."

"He's just going to make us a bird with a wounded bow, so that we can fall into it step by step, and the trap he has already set has indeed fallen into front of us."

"But it's different now."

"He needs a sober us."

"So."

Feng Dong paused, looked at the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "He gave us a cup of sobering tea, and at the same time took the initiative to throw out the topic, just to make a 'win-win' 'deal' with us." ”

"It's a deal, but it's a threat."

"Because we don't have a choice."

"From start to finish, we were at their mercy."

"Helpless."

"There's no awareness at all."

"He is one link after another, and he will kill us in calculations, and now he has given us two roads, one way to live, and one way to die, and the way to live is to hand over the salt and iron, and he will keep us from dying, and at the same time ask us to completely fall to the government."

"In the future, it will be completely reduced to a 'official businessman' like Juling!"

"Completely obey the orders of the government."

"As for the dead end."

"Except for falling to the government, the rest are dead ends."

"It is predestined from the beginning of the law of commerce."

"We have all thought about the terrible impact of the promulgation of the Commercial Law, but in addition to the impact on our own business, the more fatal impact is actually the promulgation of the Commercial Law itself."

"Everyone in the world says that business is profit-seeking."

"That's right!"

"But once the law of commerce comes out, the impact on the world's businessmen is unimaginable, and the hatred of other businessmen for us is like a surging river, endless, and even the spring and autumn years can be resolved."

"As long as the law of commerce exists, we will always be sinners."

"We probably thought of some of them before, and at that time, we probably thought that there was an official government, even if other businessmen were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to target it too blatantly, but the premise of all this was the protection of the government."

"What if the government doesn't ask?"

A word fell.

Everyone else looked shocked.

The government doesn't care?

Wouldn't that let them face the world's businessmen?

How could they handle that?

Of course, there are no long-lasting businessmen in the world, but there will be big businessmen in any period, and once these people become big enough to a certain extent, how can they not resent them?

Then will their people be at peace?

What awaits them in the end is .

Extermination!

Feng Dong said with a low emotion: "That Mr. Zhong made us calm down in this reason, as for what Brother Cheng was worried about before, it is not important at all, and there is no need. ”

"We are left with only two options."

"Raw."

"Or die!"

Moving luggage today, because the property fee is in conflict with the landlord, so I can't get the door slip, and I can't use the goods to pull it, so I moved it by myself.

It's not done yet.

But tomorrow it should be two or six thousand words.

Later, only the day of the key change may be less and more, and the rest of the time will be updated in 10,000 words.
