After sealing the flat on Huashan, the things are not mentioned for the time being, but it is said that Sun Qianhu Sun Decheng, with Huashan four people, riding fast horses, all the way to the southeast, this day, into the city of Nanjing, in the north of the city to live, here the majority of civilians, housing prices than the south of the city much cheaper.

Early in the morning of the second day, pack up the luggage and come to the Navigation Marquis Mansion in Zhongcheng, this piece is full of dignitaries and nobles, the mansion is open, the pink wall is surrounded, the green willows are still around, and the crowd is scarce, but the wind and rain of a hundred and ten years have slowly eroded the courtyards of these former princes and nobles, and most of them show traces of dilapidation.

Sun Decheng strode close to the side door with the four of them, and a young porter asked, "May I ask your surname, who is in the mansion?"

Before Sun Decheng could say anything, an old porter next to him said in surprise: "Isn't this Uncle Sun? Uncle Sun, please come in, you're here to find the fifth master, right? The fifth master happens to be at home." ”

After the old porter finished speaking, he turned back to the young porter and explained: "This is the fifth master's cousin, Yan'an Wei Qianhu. ”

He hurriedly led Sun Decheng into the Hou Mansion, took him to the door of a small courtyard, and asked in a loud voice: "Has the fifth master gotten up? ”

A lazy voice came from inside the courtyard, "Who's coming in?"

Sun Decheng and others entered the courtyard, and saw a person standing in the courtyard, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, a fair face, and a lazy atmosphere. ”

Sun Decheng said with a smile: "I've seen my cousin, but I haven't seen him for a few years, and my cousin's bearing is becoming more and more extraordinary." ”

Zhang Jinxing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Cousin, go inside and sit down to talk." Then he called his servants and entertained four of his attendants.

Sun Decheng said: "These two boxes are left, and those two boxes will be sent to Hou Ye, Yi Ming, you go to rest first, and I will look for you later." Ma Yiming nodded to the two of them and followed the next person.

Zhang Jinxing watched Sun Decheng speak, his eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything, the two entered the middle hall together, sat down to talk, and chatted about the situation of the two families, Zhang Jinxing said: "My cousin came to Nanjing this time, is there something to do with my eldest brother?"

Sun Decheng nodded and smiled: "But I was entrusted by someone to have a business to cooperate with the Hou Mansion." ”

Zhang Jinxing's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "What kind of business is it? ”

In recent years, the Zhang family has gradually deteriorated several businesses, almost unable to make ends meet.

Sun Decheng said with a smile: "It is a big and powerful man in Shaanxi, and he wants to build a large workshop in Nanzhili, and it is initially estimated that there will be more than 1,000 people. ”

"Five thousand taels!"

Zhang Jinxing's eyes lit up even more, and he said with a smile: "These rich people are really rich! But a place is strong and strong, and it is still a little short to cooperate with the Hou Mansion, and this share has to be talked about." ”

Sun Decheng frowned slightly, and said, "Cousin, if you see if Master Hou is at home, I will tell you in detail." ”

Zhang Jinxing stood up and said, "Here, let's go find the eldest brother, and the eldest brother should also be interested." ”

Sun Decheng flattened his mouth, knowing that this cousin was actually very excited, this business could bring five thousand taels of income to the Hou Mansion every year, and the economic situation of the Hou Mansion could be completely reversed, which could be regarded as a great contribution to the Hou Mansion.

The two of them went to the courtyard where Zhang Jinliang, the master of the Hou Mansion, lived, and said to the maid at the door: "Big brother has had breakfast, right? ”

The maid glanced at Sun Decheng, turned her head and entered the courtyard, and after a while, she came out and said, "Hou Ye asked the fifth master and Sun Ye to go to the garden to talk." After saying that, he led the two of them into the courtyard and into the garden.

Zhang Jinliang, the sailing marquis who is nearly fifty years old, was slowly playing long fists under the tree in the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he slowly retracted his posture and beckoned the two of them to come over, Sun Decheng hurriedly followed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and said, "I've seen Master Hou." ”

Zhang Jinliang said: "Your family doesn't have to be polite, get up and sit!"

Sun Decheng carefully sat on the stone bench under the tree, and his own maid served fragrant tea, so he listened to Zhang Jinliang say: "You are the child of Aunt Yuru's family, call Sun Decheng!"

Sun Decheng hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Hou has a really good memory!"

Zhang Jinliang sighed: "When Aunt Yuru got married, I was three or four years old, I didn't want to say goodbye for more than 40 years, and we were all old!"

Sun Decheng complimented: "Master Hou is radiant, light and healthy, can you discipline me to wait for fifty years!

Zhang Jinliang heard a lot of these flatteries, but he didn't care, and asked, "You came all the way, what's the matter?"

Sun Decheng hurriedly said solemnly: "The little brother came this time, is entrusted by a big man in Shaanxi, to Nanzhili to find a partner, I see that the income is acceptable, I came to ask Hou Ye, are you interested in business?"

Zhang Jinliang gently blew the tea soup, took a sip slowly, and said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

"This person's name is Yue Buqun, is the head of the Huashan faction in Xiyue, wants to build a textile workshop in the south of the Yangtze River, and is initially expected to employ more than 1,000 people. ”

Zhang Jinliang's expression moved, and he finally looked at Sun Decheng and said: "This place is strong and strong, and it is rampant in the township, and its reputation is not very good." ”

Sun Decheng said with a smile: "This Huashan faction is different from ordinary heroes, it is a famous and decent family, but I have never heard of anything about the chaos in the place, and it is similar to the Wudang faction." ”

Taking Wudang as an example, it is the Wudang faction that has a very high status in the palace, many emperors believe in religion, and there are Wudang people who explain the Taoist scriptures, and the royal relatives and nobles have heard of it.

"It's similar to Wudang, well, Huashan is also a Taoist sect?"

"Yes, the good sect knows that the Huashan faction is also in the same vein as Quanzhen, and it is extremely powerful in Shaanxi, and no one in the whole Shaanxi dares to take its edge and control the entire Shaanxi Jianghu forces. Sun Decheng explained.

Zhang Jinliang frowned and said, "There is such a strong force in the locality, and the governor of Shaanxi doesn't care about it?"

Sun Decheng smiled bitterly: "Hou Ye has been in a high position for a long time, and these things will not reach your ears, in fact, not only Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong, all have such heroes, and the people in the government can't manage it, and they don't dare to take care of it." ”

Zhang Jinliang was amazed and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Sun Decheng said: "If Hou Ye is interested, then I will talk about it, Hou Ye can also listen to an interesting story." ”

Zhang Jinliang said: "Well, you say." ”

"These sects have their own martial arts heritage, ranging from hundreds to thousands of years, and they call themselves martial arts people, or Jianghu people. ”

Zhang Jinxing said beside him: "Is that what it means to be far away from the rivers and lakes?"

"Yes, these people in the rivers and lakes are also divided into good and evil factions, and the people of this evil sect are what we often hear, robbing homes and houses, kidnapping and extortion, etc., which are called the underworld of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Now the leader of the underworld is called the Sun and Moon God Sect, and it is said that the king of Kaiping, Chang Wangye, was born in this gang. ”
