Chapter 64: Mutual

"What a smart man!"

Zhu Shencone praised in his heart, but he was as calm as water on the surface, and asked Zhang Xijun with a smile how he saw it.

"How can there be such a coincidence in this world?" Zhang Xijun said lightly: "The Kang family has been based in Pingyang for a hundred years, and the Liu family is also a fourth-generation heirloom, but at this time, there have been accidents, this is not a coincidence." What's more, the Liu family fell like this, and it seems that the person who took the Liu family's floating wealth took advantage of it, but if you think about it carefully, the Liu family's salt shop is the fundamental. Since the salt shop is now in the hands of the sixth master, and Kang Youfu has also been taken by the sixth master as his own, it is not difficult to guess the correspondence before and after. ”

Zhu Shencone stroked his palms and laughed, Zhang Xijun was thoughtful, and he probably guessed the truth in a short period of time just by what he said, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Before, Wang Rong also suspected that Zhu Shencone was behind this matter, but this was just a suspicion, and after Zhu Shencone explained, Wang Rong dispelled this idea and was fooled by Zhu Shencone.

This is also because Wang Rong is Zhu Shencone's uncle, watching Zhu Shencone grow up since he was a child, and doing salt trading with him over the years, they know each other very well.

But Zhang Xijun is different, to say that Zhang Xijun and Zhu Shencone have only seen three sides, the first is just arrived at Sheep's Head Mountain, and their group was robbed by Li Hu. The second side is passing by Sheep's Head Mountain on the way back, when Zhang Xijun took the opportunity of Li Hu and others to get drunk and found Zhu Shencone and asked to leave with Zhu Shencone.

And today, it is the third side of Zhu Shencone and Zhang Xijun. To be honest, there is not much contact between the two sides, even if Zhang Xijun already knows Zhu Shencone's identity now, but he only knows it from other people in Wangjia Village, and his understanding of Zhu Shencone is only superficial.

In this case, Zhang Xijun can accurately judge the ins and outs of this matter, which is really amazing.

From this point of view, Zhang Xijun is completely qualified to go to the salt shop as the second shopkeeper, and there is even some overkill.

Zhu Shencone smiled and asked Zhang Xijun what he thought of this matter, Zhang Xijun thought for a while and said, "The sixth master is planning to ...... in the future." ”

"Needless to say, if you do it, how should you do it?" Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Shencone interrupted and asked again.

Zhang Xijun hesitated, and there seemed to be some hesitation in his expression.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Xijun smiled bitterly and said: "The affairs of the Liu family are roughly the same, at most, there are slight differences in details, this sixth master has done a good job." But for the Kang family, I have some other thoughts, but I am afraid that I will make the sixth master unhappy when I say it. ”

Zhu Shencone didn't speak, but his eyes expressed the meaning of letting Zhang Xijun continue to speak.

Zhang Xijun said: "If you make a move, the affairs of the Kang family will never be so easy to understand." Although Kang Youfu has now entered the sixth master's door, if Kang Youfu did not have the idea of standing on his own at that time, or had a little selfish thoughts, then what should you do with the sixth master? ”

Zhu Shencone frowned slightly, he didn't think about this before, he initially targeted the Kang family and pulled Liu Shancheng in, mainly because he wanted to figure out the details of the Liu family, and used Kang Youfu and the Liu family to lay a nail over the years.

The rest of the story came step by step, including the fact that the blessings were made for oneself, and although there was such an idea at first, it was just an idea. When the Liu family's affairs were almost done, Zhu Shencone made this decision.

But as Zhang Xijun said, the whole plan is still a little imperfect, and the idea of collecting Kang Youfu did not arise from the beginning, and after the Liu family's affairs were confirmed, Zhu Shencone found Kang Youfu and put forward the intention of inviting Kang Youfu.

It's a coincidence, when Kang Tai, the head of the Kang family, was thinking about who to hand over the family business to, Kang Youfu's brothers and brothers took the initiative to back down, and it was also for this reason that Kang Youfu agreed to Zhu Shencheng's suggestion without much thought.

The whole thing seems to be going well, but there are many uncertain factors, if Kang Youfu had the idea of taking over the family business at that time, or some other selfish thoughts, then where would this be the result now?

Zhang Xijun's question has some truth, this Zhu Shencone admitted in his heart, and immediately asked Zhang Xijun what he would do if it was him.

"The so-called death and then life, the Kang family is not broken, and the Kang family will eventually have a way out, if the Kang family is completely gone, there is only one way to take refuge in the six masters. In this way, Kang Youfu can not only be used by the sixth master, but when the Liu family collapses and gets revenge, he will serve the sixth master to the death! Zhang Xijun said such a sentence without thinking about it.

When these words came out, Zhu Shenjun's heart was suddenly shocked, he never thought that Zhang Xijun's idea was like this.

"Damn, this is a ruthless person!" Zhu Shencone sighed with emotion in his heart, and looked at Zhang Xijun with a complicated look in his eyes.

Such a ruthless person is really rare, but his words do have some truth, if Zhu Shencone's heart was more ruthless at the beginning, and he directly found someone to kill Kang Tai and Kang Youlu in prison under the help of the Kang family, and backhanded the Liu family, then for Kang Youfu, his hatred for the Liu family must be even worse.

After that, the Kang family was ruined, and even the Kang family's tofu workshop was occupied by Liu Qi and others, Zhu Shencone went to make a move at this time, and Kang Youfu was naturally more grateful to Zhu Shencheng.

And in this way, Kang Youfu has no way out, there is no other way except to take refuge in Zhu Shencone, and then Zhu Shencone avenges Kang Youfu and collapses the Liu family, and Kang Youfu, who has revenge, will definitely not frown even if he gives this life to Zhu Shencone.

This kind of operation is indeed more perfect than Zhu Shencone's design in terms of effect, and it can also eliminate some uncertain factors. But Zhu Shencone thought about it and shook his head, although it can be done, but this approach is too much.

The means used need scales, although he Zhu Shencone has the will, but he doesn't want to be the kind of person who has no feelings and no means. In this way, there is no humanity, only interests, even if the effect is better and the success rate is higher, Zhu Shencone can't cross the last bottom line in his heart, and he really can't do this kind of thing.

Shaking his head, Zhu Shencone vetoed: "It's just an expedient measure to succeed with a small way, if it weren't for the Liu family, I wouldn't use this method to target the Kang family." I'm sorry for the Kang family for doing this, if the Kang family wants to die because of this purpose, where is this still done by people? Not the same as animals? ”

As soon as Zhu Shencone's words came out, Zhang Xijun's eyes suddenly lit up, straightened up, and bowed down to Zhu Shencone, saying that Zhu Shencone was really benevolent, and what he just said was indeed inferior to Zhu Shencone, and asked Zhu Shencone to forgive him.

Squinting his eyes and looking at Zhang Xijun, Zhu Shencone suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter resounded in the room, and as his laughter echoed, Zhang Xijun, who was worshipping, was also relieved.

"Master Zhang, you don't have to be like this, get up. Who can be innocent? What's more, it was just small talk, and I asked you to say it. ”

"Shame...... Ashamed....... Zhang Xijun straightened up, shook his head in shame, and then said: "Sixth master, the matter of the second shopkeeper you said just now has been answered, although the sixth master of the store can rest assured, he will do his best to assist and help the shopkeeper manage the store." ”

"Good!" Zhu Shencone stroked his palms and praised, Zhang Xijun's words made him extremely happy, since this is no longer an outsider, Zhu Shencone immediately carefully told Zhang Xijun about his business ideas about the store, including the channels and salt roads for smuggling salt in Wangjia Village, etc.

Since Zhang Xijun is going to be used, he can't help but let him know about this. In fact, not only him, but even Kang Youfu is the same, but Kang Youfu will not know until a little later, and will not tell Kang Youfu the truth until Zhang Xijun and the other two men bring the salt stored in Wangjia Village back to Pingyang Mansion.

Zhang Xijun's going to Pingyang Mansion is so decided, and the next thing is the follow-up preparations, which is not in a hurry for the time being.

Zhu Shencone just came today, and he will stay in Wangjia Village for two days, and then the few of them will return to Pingyang Mansion together, and let Zhang Xijun ponder and prepare in advance for these two days.

When he left Zhang Xijun's courtyard, it was already a little dark.

On the way back to Wang Rong's house, Zhu Shencone felt a little emotional, Zhang Xijun impressed him a lot more today, and it also dispelled Zhu Shencon's initial defense against him, at least although the defense is still there, it is not as deep as before.

Similarly, the reason why Zhang Xijun was able to agree to this matter so readily, and at the same time showed that he respected Zhu Shencone as the master, and Zhu Shencone also understood what it was for.

Zhang Xijun's words are true, but they are also deliberately testing Zhu Shencone's personality, which Zhu Shencone only figured out when he saw him bow down later.

If Zhu Shencone had agreed with Zhang Xijun's suggestion at that time, and still showed a look of annoyance and regret, I am afraid that Zhang Xijun's score for him would be much lower in his heart. After all, working under a master who has no moral bottom line and is mercenary is completely different from working under a relatively benevolent but decisive leader.

Zhang Xijun is a smart person, and the reason why he made that kind of suggestion actually has a deep meaning, and Zhu Shencone's answer also made him completely relieved. In this case, where would Zhang Xijun, who had already taken refuge in Zhu Shencone, hesitate? promised to do this, and it was a matter of course to do everything for Zhu Shencone in the future.
