Chapter 106: Variables
And Lin Fengjin felt that he was originally the son of a merchant, and when he came to such a place where his caravan could not usually go, he sold some rare goods at a high price and bought them low, so he was really sorry for the blood flowing in his veins.
Outside goods are very good to sell here, because Ganmujie is not poor here, most of the miners are not treated like slaves, but relatively higher than farming, they have to consume the money they get, and the continuous circulation of wealth makes Ganmujie more prosperous. And the goods brought by Lin Fengjin were all high-quality goods, so although they were one percent more expensive than the same goods in the local area, they were sold out after walking through a few shops at will.
Then Lin Fengjin inquired, and then went to the main street of Tujiaba, where there are several cinnabar shops, who knew that Lin Fengjin rushed over to ask, all said that there were some if they bought nothing, but to buy in large quantities was gone, Lin Fengjin asked carefully to know, it turned out that the cinnabar here is also in short supply, every year on the fifteenth day of the first month, there will be a meeting, and the big commercial houses will come to bid for shares, and the annual output will be divided cleanly. Now in the season of July and August, Lin Fengjin came here to buy goods, and he could get a thousand catties after the sky.
However, Lin Fengjin's main purpose in coming to this cinnabar shop is not to buy goods, and those who can open a cinnabar shop here must have a very close relationship with the Tu Zhang family, otherwise, how can they enter the cinnabar thing?
Lin Fengjin was not in a hurry to answer the boss's words, but hesitated and said:
"Actually, we also know the rules of the Tu Zhang family, but the head of the family has an old relationship with a Langjun of the Tu Zhang family, so he sent a small one to visit him, but there is no way, can the eldest brother pass it on my behalf? Or hand over the letter, ten taels of silver should be invited to the eldest brother to drink a glass of wine. β
At this time, ten taels of silver are worth two months' salary of the shopkeeper. Immediately took it with a smile and said:
"I don't know which Lang Jun of my family your lord is friends with?"
Lin Feng said:
"It's Saburo-kun. β
Tu Zhangao is the third among the brothers and sisters, so Lin Feng respectfully called him San Langjun not bad, the shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and suddenly a somewhat weird smile appeared on his face and said:
"When did your master hand over to Saburo-kun?"
Lin Feng did not doubt it, and said casually:
"The year before last, didn't your Saburo-kun go out with the army the year before last? My master met him at that time. β
The shopkeeper said happily:
"Okay, can you take out the letter? I'll deliver it to you, San Lang-kun should be in the house right now, just in time to send it over, if it's past noon." If you go to Daning in the east, you have to wait for tomorrow. β
Lin Fengjin took out the letter, and this letter was naturally written by Lin Fengjin himself:
"Say goodbye to Yaocheng, is Brother Tu Zhang healthy? β
The words in this letter are naturally all hidden words, and outsiders see it as a very ordinary prayer post, but Tu Zhangao, who knows the eyes of the sea, must be like a mirror in his heart.
Who knew that not long after the shopkeeper took the letter, a series of footsteps soon sounded, and seven or eight men dressed very neatly surrounded in front of the hall. The muscles and bones are very strong, and he looked at Lin Fengjin coldly. The shopkeeper pointed at Lin Fengjin and said loudly:
"That's him, come to my shop to find out the whereabouts of that traitor!"
These black-clothed men immediately strode forward, although Lin Fengjin didn't know what was going on. But he also knew that it seemed that there should be some unknown variables, so he suddenly narrowed his eyes and said:
"What's the matter, did I also violate your royal law when I came to your Tu Zhang's house to find someone?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth:
"It is not a violation of the king's law to come to our Tu Zhang's house to find someone, but you colluded with that rebellious traitor. But it's a big taboo for our Tu Zhang family!"
It turned out that Lin Fengjin didn't know that the financial power and force in the Tu Zhang family. There are also law enforcement powers that are held by three factions, for example, the Tu Zhangao family holds the most important financial power, and is usually responsible for external handovers, so the hidden power is the head of the three factions, and his family is also the spokesperson for the outside world.
And why Tu Zhangao's status in the family is high, but not because of his own decision-making, talent, etc., but because of the little JJ under the crotch, his grandfather gave birth to three sons, but there was a big trouble in the third generation, that is Tu Zhangao's uncle, the second uncle, his father gave birth to nearly 30 babies in total, but there are only two men, among these two men, one of them was born with cerebral palsy, and the only normal one is Tu Zhangao.
Therefore, although Tu Zhangao's uncle is in charge of power, he can only helplessly elect Tu Zhangao as his successor, otherwise, the old man will definitely not be happy, he must still be willing to take charge of the power with his own bloodline, otherwise, he will have to fall to the side branch.
Therefore, although Tu Zhangao is mediocre, he can also go to the battlefield to gild and make contributions, as long as he waits for the abdication of the uncle, then he can take over smoothly, and every qiΔ seems to be as beautiful as it is destined.
However, after the first battle in Yaocheng, as soon as Tu Zhangao returned home, he was about to return to his warm home to lick his wounds, but he found that all of a sudden, the world had changed! It turned out that during the more than half a year that his expedition had been delayed, his uncle Tu Zhangjian was actually happy with his noble son! However, it was not born to a wife or concubine in the family, but a product left over from the results of entertaining prostitutes outside.
Originally, playing a prostitute was not a big deal, Tu Zhangjian has been eating more of those tiger and wolf medicines for the past thirty or forty years, and has made a big woman's belly seventeen or eighteen times, not to mention himself, even the people around him have long been numb by the bad news, but he didn't expect to unintentionally insert willows and willows, and the big teapot in the brothel in Yuzhi City, hundreds of miles away, suddenly came to report the good news, saying that it was congratulations to the uncle for getting a noble son, or a twin boy!
Tu Zhangjian was not calm all of a sudden, but he was angry, because there were not a few people who coveted his family business, and there were two or three pretending things before, but once he thought it was true, and he went to the old lady to make a fuss, and used the secret technique of the clan to check, it turned out to be a wild seed!
At that moment, Tu Zhangjian, who was angry, sneered and asked the big teapot to pick up the twin men. Then he was ready to fall to death, and then cramped and peeled the big teapot, but the big teapot was hugging people with a smile, and he actually took a pocket directly out and said that the villain is here to please the uncle, and this pocket will not leave without filling it with gold and silver.
Tu Zhangjian was even more angry when he heard this, and even began to think about how to break the legs of this big teapot and throw it into the bitter kiln, wailing for ten days and ten nights before dying, but after taking the twin babies and looking at them, the whole person was stunned, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared!
Because of the faces of the twin males. It is actually similar to Tu Zhangjian!!No wonder this big teapot is so sure.
Suddenly turned from rage to ecstasy, Tu Zhangjian's mind was blank, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, and found that his hands were trembling so badly that he almost didn't drop the child, so he hurriedly called someone to hold the child loudly, and went around the room for a long time, slapped himself hard, and then went to see the soles of the child's feet.
It turned out that Tu Zhangjian had a birthmark on his right foot. He remembered that the old man's feet also had it, but this was a secret that no one knew, so when he opened the soles of the feet of the two children, Tu Zhangjian, who held a lot of power, suddenly burst into tears. Even the shape of the birthmark was similar, only the size was a little different, and he could see clearly that the birthmark was under the skin. The tentacles are smooth and not fake.
The appearance is similar, and there is a birthmark as proof. To tell the truth, almost nine percent of the time was sure that Tu Zhangjian had planted it himself, and in ecstasy, the big teapot directly took ten pockets of gold, silver and jewelry! Next, the verification of the family's secret method was passed.
Of course, since Tu Zhangjian has his own offspring, and he is still two healthy and lively men, he must be willing to pass it on to his children and grandchildren, and even the old man can't control this.
There is a way that the house leaks and it rains, and the ship is late and encounters a head wind. Tu Zhangao has not recovered from such a strict blow, he Lao Tzu went mad when he practiced the way of Wu Zhang, and he couldn't catch it in one breath and died, if Tu Zhangao himself is talented, he can perform a realistic template of "How can my generation be a Penghao person, look up to the sky and go out with a long smile", just a young master's position, what if you don't do it, Lao Tzu still can't look down on it.
But he's not.
At this time, there was a "smart" and "loyal" family member waiting for Tu Zhangjian to drink alcohol, first scolded Tu Zhangjian for turning back from the outside to fool people, and then persuaded Tu Zhangao to "take risks" and kill the two wild seeds.
If Tu Zhangao had Lin Fengjian's brain, he would immediately slap out the family's teeth, and then kick seventy or eighty feet under his crotch by the way.
It's a pity that Tu Zhangao is not Lin Fengjin.
So he did it, and really killed the two babies without any problems.
However, the two innocent poor babies were the children of Tu Zhangpo in the next room, and Tu Zhangpo's third concubine happened to be the sister of Tu Zhangjian's eldest wife.
Tu Zhangao, who was stunned, was completely blank in his mind at that time, and then the "clever" and "loyal" servant appeared again, and righteously let him go first.
Tu Zhangao naturally fled stupidly at this time, but when he left, he completely confirmed the crime, and even gave up the last chance to clear himself.
In fact, if Tu Zhangao doesn't do anything and behaves in a low-key manner at home, then it should be his uncle Tu Zhangjian who has a headache, because although everyone knows that he will give his position to his cub, but sometimes, it is not something you can do if you want to, and you can't be too ugly to eat, not to mention that Tu Zhangao has just lost his father and is a vulnerable group, and there is an old man staring at it.
Therefore, as long as Tu Zhangao does nothing, it is impossible to inherit the position of steward in the family, but his uncle Tu Zhangjian must give him a lot of compensation, either gold and silver treasures, or the right to score points to him.
It's a pity that Tu Zhangao fell into this conspiracy trap, and his uncle Tu Zhangjian could angrily accuse him of being a mad beast, justifiably depriving him of his position, plus madly chasing and killing him, and depriving him of his family's property together, which is really the best of both worlds.
Needless to say, the "loyal" family member who gave Tu Zhangao the idea must have been proud of the spring breeze at this time, and he was promoted and made a fortune.
In such an environment, Lin Fengjin came to Tu Zhangao. And it just so happens that the shopkeeper of this cinnabar shop is still a cronie of the bitter master Tu Zhangpo, and it is understandable that he has suffered such treatment.
Of course, Lin Fengjin didn't know the twists and turns at this time, but of course he wouldn't be restrained, he gave the wild boar a look, and the two of them immediately rushed out of the door, although these guards of the Tu Zhang family were very skilled, but with the strength of a few of them, it was wishful thinking to intercept Lin Fengjin and the wild boar.
After going out, Lin Fengjin also took the initiative to break off and let the wild boar go first. He attracted the idea of the guards, fought and retreated, and then waited until the wild boar successfully escaped, and then performed the trick of being a ghost, and after a few ghosts were ejected in an instant, they disappeared directly from their sight.
Suddenly such an unexpected situation, it is obvious that Lin Fengjin was also a little caught off guard, Tu Zhangao did such a stupid thing, it is really a little fugitive. Then it's a pity. Now there is only one choice left, which is to find Tu Zhang Langqing for help.
Lin Fengjin still vaguely inquired about some of the conditions related to it, and in the battle between Teng Snake Ze Longyu, Lin Fengjin originally thought that Tu Zhang Wolf Qing was dead. Because he saw with his own eyes the witch priest Tu Zhangyuelu beside the big head man threw his head off.
Later, Lin Fengjin learned that the person killed by Tu Zhangyue Lu was just a stand-in for Tu Zhang's wolf qing.
And the relationship between Tu Zhangyuelu and Tu Zhanglang Qing should be both relatives and enemies. It is nothing more than similar to the current relationship between Tu Zhangao and the family at this time, Tu Zhangyuelu is a branch of the line, but this line has been forcibly squeezed out. It's strange that the two don't fight when they meet!
Lin Feng hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go to Tu Zhang Wolf Qing for help, even if Tu Zhang Wolf Qing was already in a semi-retired state at this time, but the energy it could use was still very amazing, according to the map on the jade slip, Qingmei Sniff's hiding place was within a radius of 100 miles, if there was the help of the Tu Zhang family, it would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
What's more, he also provoked the blood general, as well as the mysterious force behind the blood general, this time it is not difficult for Lin Feng to retreat with his whole body, but if he wants to successfully obtain the jade seal and retire, then it really depends on how much strength the Tu Zhang family is willing to take to support him.
As for whether Tu Zhang Wolf Qing will sell himself as soon as they meet, after all, Lin Fengjin is also very valuable in Xirong now, Lin Fengjin is not very worried, because the people of Xirong are strong and barbaric, but there is an advantage that there are clear grievances, and if you say it, it will be a spit and a pit. Tu Zhang Wolf Qing also inherited Lin Fengjin's life-saving grace, and also invited him to come here to play, so there would be no backtracking.
Tu Zhang Langqing's status in the family at this time, of course, is high, he is almost 100 years old at this time, and he looks down on any fame and fortune, as for wealth or something, as long as he commands, naturally someone will offer it with both hands, so of course he will not interfere in mundane affairs, and will not live in this rolling red dust, but stay in the Shushi Valley fifty miles to the west.
Tu Zhang Wolf Qing cultivates the ancient secret Wuzhang Dao, Lin Fengjin seems to have heard the wild boar mention, the progress of the Wu Dao, the ghost Dao is very fast, but when it comes to the back, it is more difficult layer by layer, and every time you progress one more layer, then you have to pay several times more effort and luck!
For example, two people with the same qualifications start cultivating together, one cultivating the Witch Dao and the other cultivating the Qi Refiner Method. In the first ten years, the person who cultivated the way of witches and ghosts could easily defeat the person who cultivated the Qi Refiner Method.
However, when the cultivation of both of them reached fifteen years, the two sides could already fight, and when the cultivation of the two reached twenty years, the situation was reversed, and those who cultivated the Qi Refiner Method could already comprehensively crush those who cultivated the way of witches and ghosts. A Qi Refiner who has cultivated for thirty years can even be one enemy and two against people in the Witch Dao and Ghost Dao in a fair environment!
However, there are a small number of geniuses who are naturally suitable for cultivating the Wudao, but they have been cultivating like a bamboo from the beginning, without any obstacles along the way, such as Tu Zhang Langqing, before going to Teng Snake Ze Longyu, he cultivated the Wuzhang Dao to the realm of Dacheng, at this time, what he cultivated every day is that after the Wudao cultivation reached his Cheng DΓΉ, it can be said that there is almost no way to follow the path of his predecessor, and he can only find his own way and walk out of a path that is most suitable for him......
There are three thousand avenues, each on one side.
In fact, whether it is the witch road, the ghost path, or the righteous path realm, after the realm has reached the extreme, the end is a barren, and everyone has to overcome obstacles to get out of their own new avenue, so it is also extremely difficult to get the way.
It didn't take too long, Lin Fengjin took the wild boar to the Shushi Valley fifty miles to the west.
Along the way, Lin Fengjin did not encounter any pursuers, nor did he encounter any trouble, in the valley mouth of Shushi Valley, there is also a small town, this town is to save these offerings in the valley from all directions, it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it is complete, in a sense, the Qingluo County (Tujiaba) outside is the trunk of Tu Zhang's family exposed to the outside for people to see, then this Shushi Valley fifty miles to the west is the root of Tu Zhang's family.
The leaves have fallen off, the branches have been broken, and even the main trunk has been cut down! The tree still has a chance to revivenation, but once it is dug up, then the tree will have to accept the fate of its inevitable death.
Lin Fengjin followed the rules here, first walked down from the horse far away, and then walked over with the wild boar to the guards at the entrance of the village.
The attitude of the guards here is also quite modest, because they almost know quite well in their hearts that it is best not to offend the people who can come here to visit the people in Shushi Valley, otherwise, there will often be no good fruit to eat in the end.
Lin Fengjin said that he asked to see Tu Zhang's wolf, and the guard didn't look very surprised, so he invited Lin Fengjin into a courtyard room next to him and sat down, the furnishings were still very elegant, this should be Tu Zhang's reception room, and then asked Lin Fengjin to wait for a while, and then turned around and changed someone to receive Lin Fengjin again. The status of this newcomer is obviously very high, he is a guard commander or something, he looked at Lin Feng and said:
"What do you want to do to see our ancestor?"
Lin Fengjin had already thought of a countermeasure, and took out something from his side unhurriedly, but it was the cow hair divine needle configured by the iron armored divine beast.
"This is my token, you just need to hand it in, and then tell sΓΉ, just say that the old man of the river is visiting. β
The guard commander frowned and looked at the cow hair divine needle in Lin Fengjin's palm, looking a little skeptical, but those who could be guards in Shushi Valley obviously had a bit of eyes, seeing that Lin Fengjin was frank and confident, he said very simply:
"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll go and pass it on. β
Lin Fengjin nodded, but it was very quiet here, his ears were extraordinary, and he listened to the footsteps of the guard commander from a distance and did not go far, but after going out of this door, he went around the two side rooms, and then re-entered another room:
"Gong Laosan, aren't you usually well-informed? A young man came here today, but he took this vain thing and said that he wanted to see the old ancestor, I really muttered in my heart, what kind of bullshit is this hair-like thing, isn't someone here to entertain us?" (To be continued......)
