Chapter 50: Everything is in progress
The room was as warm as spring, the copper pot was steaming, the four of them sat around, Zhu Qiuqi said words of thanks to himself while pouring wine, and Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minqi brothers also stopped their chopsticks and looked at themselves with a smile and expectation.
This scene made Zhu Shencone seem to have traveled through time and space, and he had the feeling of having a dinner in the future.
Slightly distracted, Zhu Shencone laughed self-deprecatingly, and subconsciously glanced at his fingers, if the other party handed over the Huazi at this time, and then helped himself to point it, this feeling would be all right.
"Uncle, when will Liu Shancheng's affairs be done?"
"There's no urgency, what's wrong? It's only been a few days, and you're running out of money again? Zhu Shencone glanced at Zhu Qiuqi and asked with a smile, unlike Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minqi brothers, Zhu Qiuqi is still a bachelor, and he doesn't spend a lot of money on weekdays, and he has always been a guy who is drunk today.
In fact, according to the family background, Zhu Qiuqi is not bad, but unfortunately he is used to spending money lavishly, and the ten taels of silver he was given at the beginning are almost spent now, and even the estimates given to him later will not be too long. Just like today, calling them to eat shabu-shabu, he can think of such a luxurious way to eat.
"Hehe, isn't this almost the New Year, I'm thinking that the days have passed for so long, and the things on the Liu family's side can be done as soon as possible, and everyone can have a good New Year after they are done." Zhu Qiuqi explained with a smile, although Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minqi brothers on the side did not speak, they could also see from their eyes that they had the same idea.
Zhu Shencone smiled, picked up chopsticks and took out a piece of frozen tofu from the pot, blew it with his mouth, and said meaningfully: "I'm anxious, this hot tofu can't be eaten, and this water can only be done." ”
"I've done everything I've asked you to do, and then I'll have to wait patiently. Don't worry, I can't wait too long, I'm about to be around for a few days. ”
"With such a sentence from my uncle, my heart is settled." Zhu Qiuqi nodded again and again, but he still asked uneasily, is he so trusting the boss of the Kang family? Are you sure that the Kang family boss will follow Zhu Shencone's plan to go down?
"If you want to say that you are 10% sure, it is a big talk, but if you want to say 80%, it is real." Zhu Shencone smiled faintly, put some cold tofu into his mouth and chewed it carefully: "The Kang family almost died this time, Kang Youfu's resentment towards Liu Shancheng now doesn't know others, can I still not know?" Besides, the Liu family is not a good family, Kang Youfu is a smart person, it is absolutely impossible for him to take revenge on the Liu family by himself, as long as he catches the handle of the Liu family, then he will definitely come to me for help. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Shencone said with full grasp: "A few of you just wait, these days Kang Youfu will go to the Liu family every three or five days, maybe he has already touched the lifeblood of the Liu family, and when the time comes, Kang Youfu will inevitably come to me, and then it will be our chance to make a move!" ”
"High! It's really high! Uncle Six, you are this! Zhu Minfeng gave Zhu Shencone a thumbs up and admired the five-body throw, at first Zhu Shencone asked them to secretly find someone to do this thing, a few of them didn't think so, but with the development of this matter, everything was exactly as Zhu Shencone expected, and now Zhu Shencone seemed so sure that their hearts were put down.
"By the way, the last time I asked you to do something, you cleaned up all the tails, right? Don't accidentally toss and expose your tail when the time comes. ”
"Uncle, you can rest assured that this is absolutely clean!" Zhu Qiuqi patted his chest and promised: "When we do things, we are all looking for people to do it in circles according to your instructions, and we can't be involved in anything." ”
"That's fine, don't eat the mutton, but make a fuss."
"No, no, no!"
Zhu Qiuqi assured again, then thought about it and said, "When the Liu family's affairs are over, uncle, how much benefit do you say we can get?" ”
"Hehe, thinking about this again? Didn't you say it at the beginning, it's absolutely no problem for a few of us to make a thousand taels, and no matter how much it is, it's possible. Zhu Shencone smiled, then thought about it and told the truth to a few of them: "You also know that the Liu family is not an ordinary family, and if this thing is really done, it will not work at all on a few of us, and someone must come forward." ”
"There are more joints to be dotted in various places, and if you want to do things solidly, you have to have some blood. Let's not talk about the county yamen and the prefect's yamen, as well as the political envoy's yamen and the governor's yamen, and you have to pull up the general's mansion, right! Even those eunuchs who have no eggs in the palace are indispensable to do a little bit or two, if there is no sweetness, who is willing to do this? ”
"These people are all sanctimonious, but they are male thieves and female prostitutes in their stomachs, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as insatiable. So even if the Liu family is overthrown, we will only take a fraction of the Liu family's industry at best, and the big head must be divided among them. ”
Zhu Qiuqi was a little unwilling in his heart, and couldn't help but scold, this matter was provoked by them, and it was also done by a few of them for the Lord, but it was other people who picked the peaches in the end, which was too much.
The Liu family's industry is quite a lot, even if it is rough, it is at least hundreds of thousands of taels, and even more in detail. With so much silver, so many industries, and only such a little bit finally fell into their hands, it was just a drop in the bucket, and if you think about it like this, you are really a little unwilling.
"Eighteen, what Uncle Six said is right, even if the Liu family falls, we really can't take this big head." Zhu Minfeng persuaded on the side: "You also know the situation of the Liu family, the Liu family has been able to operate in Pingyang Mansion for so many years, and there are a lot of relationships between the top and bottom, and the broken things in the officialdom are still not clear?" If there is no benefit, who will help? Besides, a few of us are not enough, only with the help of the general's mansion can we get things done, so many people share, they eat meat, and it would be good for a few of us to drink some soup. ”
"Yes, eighteen, this matter is still up to the sixth uncle, as long as the Liu family falls, we can drink some soup more or less. Hehe, I don't expect to take tens of thousands, people are self-aware, and I am already satisfied with what Uncle Six said. Zhu Minqi also said that his thoughts are similar to Zhu Minfeng, they are just ordinary clans, their status is low, they have no rights, and they can't speak in many places, if they want to get things done, they must give up the big profits, otherwise they won't even be able to drink the soup.
What's more, Zhu Minqi is an honest person, he is already satisfied with two hundred and five, this money is enough for him to buy a few acres of land outside the city, and then let his family live a good life, as for more, he doesn't have extravagant hopes, just like he said, people must be self-aware, and take their own share.
Zhu Qiuqi thought about it carefully and felt that this was right, but he was still a little unwilling to think that the Liu family had such a big industry, but even so? He also knew his own weight, and he really couldn't do this by relying on a few of them, so he sighed helplessly.
"Eighteen, don't be discouraged, and so are the two of you." Zhu Shencone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do the right thing first, and then it's good to talk about the business." When the time comes, I won't be able to get the floating wealth of the Liu family, and it's good to think about gnawing on the edges and corners, I know in my heart, and I won't let everyone be busy in vain. ”
"That's right!" Zhu Qiuqi's eyes suddenly lit up, what Zhu Shencone said made sense, the Liu family's industry is big, even if you can't make a lot of floating money, it is enough to gnaw a little corner, he nodded again and again, and his face smiled like a flower.
A meal of shabu-shabu was eaten until dark, Zhu Shencone left, and when he entered the house, his sister-in-law Zhang told herself that Kang Youfu had come to him today.
Hearing what the Zhang family said, Zhu Shencheng's drunkenness disappeared in an instant, since Kang Youfu came to find him, it must be about the Liu family, otherwise he wouldn't have come so far away.
But now it's getting late, it's about to be curfew, and it's too late to go to Kang's house. Thinking about what handle Kang Youfu had pinched the Liu family, and how to arrange the Liu family next, Zhu Shencone was a little excited for a while, lying on the kang and thinking for a long time, and he didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze.
At dawn the next day, under the effect of the biological clock, Zhu Shencone got up early in the morning, and it was rare that he did not practice boxing like on weekdays, and rushed out of the door without even eating breakfast after washing, and rushed directly to Kang's tofu workshop.
When I arrived at the Kangjia Tofu Workshop, Kang Youfu was busy in the shop, and it was time for the morning market.
Due to the previous lawsuit, the business of the Kang family is not as good as before these days, but it has gradually recovered as time goes by, and there are still many customers in the shop, drinking bean curd or soy milk, and nibbling on cakes.
"Sixth Master! How did you get here? ”
"Hehe, you went to me yesterday?"
"Well, there are some things I want to discuss with you Sixth Master...... Sixth master, have you eaten? If you don't need to eat first, we'll talk when you're done? ”
"Done!" Zhu Shencone nodded in response, sat down, Kang Youfu helped him serve a bowl of bean curd and cakes, at this time Zhu Shencone was not in a hurry, and ate slowly, and after he finished eating, the flow of people in the morning market gradually decreased, and the shop was empty.
