Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dust Settles, and the Storm Comes

Night.

Zhuang Ming has returned to Qianlong Villa.

On this day, Zhuang's firm was indeed in turmoil.

Under the arrangement of Song Tianyuan, the Song family in Xuancheng accumulated savings for half a year, both light and dark, and made trouble overnight.

Even if you are prepared, you are a little tired.

However, at this moment, the victory has been decided, and the situation has been decided.

Song Tianyuan's planned offensive has been predicted by Zhuang Ming and taken over one by one.

Although Zhuang's firm also suffered losses, and from now on, it will continue to cause some damage, but in the end, he won.

The Song family in Xuancheng collapsed, and Song Tianyuan was already dead, so he returned to Qianlong Villa and personally calmed down the follow-up turmoil.

After this time, some potential threats that were secretly unfavorable to Zhuang's firm, hidden dangers hidden in the shadows, also surfaced under Song Tianyuan's instigation.

Now that most of the changes have been eliminated, the remaining families are also remembered by him, and there is nothing to worry about.

After this, most of the hidden dangers have been eliminated, and the relationship between Zhuang's firm and various cities should become closer and closer.

On the other hand, the foundation has been further strengthened.

This time, the mobilization of the teachers can be regarded as a great victory.

It's just that for him, the biggest victory is not the defeat of the Song family in Xuancheng, nor the foundation of the Sixteen Mansions in Huai'an, but the Baishen Pot that can be easily bought back with silver taels!

——

Huai'an Mansion, Fengcheng.

Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.

"This Gu Dao vessel is almost ripe. ”

Zhuang Ming looked at the hundred gods in the room, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a little eagerness.

This Baishen pot, as long as it is used well, can be worth ten years of hard work for him to warm day and night.

However, according to this time, I am afraid that there are still three or two months before the completion of cultivation.

However, Zhuang Ming is familiar with all kinds of classics, and there is no shortage of ancient book fragments, and many of them have the skills of side doors.

He got a prescription at the beginning of last year, which is a folk lost peasant home remedy, which can promote the growth of poultry, and after it was confirmed to be effective last year, it has cost 80,000 taels to build chicken coops and raise chickens and poultry in various cities in Huai'an, and it has made a lot of profits.

And this prescription is not very effective against beasts, but it is also effective against insects and pigs.

In fact, deducing such a prescription is naturally not difficult for people in the Gu Dao.

But in this way, it is inevitable that there will be a saying that the seedlings will be pulled out to help them grow.

For the cultivators who drive Gu worms, Gu worms are the sharp weapons in their hands, and the Gu worms that are fueled by pulling out seedlings are not enough heat, slightly lacking ferocity, and not strong enough, just like the blade is not sharp enough, which is a big taboo.

But Zhuang Ming didn't have any scruples in this regard, he just wanted to raise a Gu worm and use it to raise dragons and use it as a medicinal material, instead of controlling the Gu worm and driving it for use.

"Childe, the medicine you ordered is already on the way, and it will arrive in the evening. Bai Lao stepped forward and said.

"Good. Zhuang Ming nodded, he built a large number of chicken coops, raised chickens and poultry, and made a lot of profits, it is because of the birth of this prescription that the growth of chickens and poultry is accelerated, and they can be cultivated early, so he is also quite secretive, from the collection of medicinal materials to the production of this medicine, during which it is made in three places before it is sent to the chicken coop and mixed into the chicken food for feeding.

In addition, the corpses of Song Tianyuan and his subordinates have been disposed of. Bai Lao presented some things, put them on the table, and said, "This is Song Tianyuan's thing." ”

"This is his bottom sheet in the Dark Village?" Zhuang Ming took the bottom piece of paper and chuckled.

"Exactly. Bai Lao said: "Before, the old slave still thought that he shouldn't carry tens of thousands of taels with him, how could the dark village let him out, but now he finally understands." ”

"This guy thinks that with the Jade God Flower, he will eat me, and he will definitely be able to cheat me out of a lot of money. Zhuang Ming laughed and said: "If he sells it directly to the dark village, he will earn a maximum of five hundred taels, and no matter how high I bid from now on, it will belong to the dark village...... But he thought that he had eaten me and could defraud me out of a lot of silver taels, so it was impossible for him to give all the money to the dark village, but to make another transaction with the dark village, that is, after the successful sale, he would take eighty percent of his own hands and give twenty percent of the income to the dark village. This time he was detained by the dark village, and he only had to take out the bottom list and give the dark village two percent of silver and two pennies, at this point, I had already expected it. ”

"That's right, Childe. Bai Lao pointed to another object and said, "What is this?"

"This ......"

Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand to take it, with a strange expression.

It is a piece of jade order, with a hole in the upper end, and a multicolored rope is tied.

In the middle of the jade order, there is a carving of a gossip, which is divided into yin and yang.

He paused for a moment and exhaled, although he was really a little surprised to see this token, but with Song Tianyuan's city government, he traveled overseas, and it was not surprising that he could be appreciated and receive this order.

"The entry order of a mysterious sect overseas. ”

"Mysterious Sect?Entrance Order?" Bai Lao was stunned for a moment.

"Don't worry, this sect issues such a token every year, not ten thousand, but eight thousand, and those who get this token are only counted as registered disciples, and it doesn't matter at all. ”

"There is still such a sect?" Bai Lao was stunned: "So weird?"

"This sect, good at derivation, so pay attention to understanding, they have been teaching disciples in the mountain gate since childhood, must be extraordinary, intelligent since childhood, but the outside world is capable and wise, there are also a lot, so a hundred years ago, there is also a wide recruitment of wisdom from the outside world, accepted as the outer disciples of the saying. ”

Zhuang Ming put down the token and said, "Named disciple, if you can find the mountain gate according to the traces on the token, you can be regarded as an outer disciple." At that time, the secret will be awarded, and the best will be selected to enter the inner door, and every year, the three people with the highest understanding will be selected as true disciples. ”

"Song Tianyuan is overseas, and he got this opportunity?" Bai Lao was slightly surprised.

"That's how it should be. Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "His eyes are above the top, conceited, when he walked out of the Dongsheng Dynasty and came into contact with the overseas world, he thought that the Dongsheng Dynasty was just a land, just a pond, and he was a dragon who came out of the pond, and now he returned to the pond, but he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, looking down on you and me, these fish and shrimp." ”

Song Tianyuan was extremely conceited, and he thought that he was beyond the heaven and earth of the Dongsheng Dynasty, so he had the intention of looking down on everything, even he, the richest man in the sixteen prefectures of Huai'an, did not take it seriously.

Now it seems that Song Tianyuan must have known the broader world and obtained this token again.

The reason why he returned to the Dongsheng Dynasty must be that he felt that he was going to go higher, so he returned to his hometown first, not only to finally appreciate the style of his hometown, but also to quietly participate in the mystery of the token in his hometown.

Perhaps in Song Tianyuan's eyes at first, this game with Zhuang's firm was a game of chess in his life, which was insignificant.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was too conceited, and after all, in the pond of his hometown, the boat capsized in the "gutter", and even his life was planted in it.

At this moment, Frost Spirit walked in with a soup soup and heard this.

Childe praised him. Frost Ling put down the soup, smiled like a crescent moon, and said: "But no matter how resourceful he is, he was also defeated in the hands of Childe, he is a dragon in the pond, and Childe is a real dragon." ”

"The reason why Song Tianyuan was defeated by me is actually a lot of reasons, not because my mind is smarter than his. Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly, and said: "In the past few months, in the face of this opponent, I really can't sleep, until yesterday, after his death, I was relieved." ”

This time, the Song family in Xuancheng was in trouble, and Song Tianyuan arranged this plan for a long time.

At the time of the calculation, perhaps out of prudence, Song Tianyuan also calculated three or five times, and confirmed that it was correct, so it was the plan.

However, he is different.

He tried his best to search for clues, and he had to keep calculating all the clues he had obtained, over and over again, for fear that he would miss something and become a fatal point.

And so over and over again, thinking about it in a thousand ways, until all the flaws that I could think of with all my intellect were made up, and I dared to really make a plan to deal with it.

Over the years, the reason why Zhuang Ming has been able to defeat those old foxes in the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an is not that he is smarter than these people, but that he is more cautious and more focused.

Shuang Ling and Bai Lao both think that their sons have no last resort and unparalleled resourcefulness, far superior to Song Tianyuan.

didn't know that when Song Tianyuan was playing chess with the old master of Song, Zhuang Ming was thinking about how to use the strategy.

When Song Tianyuan was drinking tea and cultivating his sentiments, he was also thinking about how to use it.

When Song Tianyuan practiced the art of riding and archery and practiced martial arts, he was also thinking about how to use the strategy.

"Song Tianyuan is also a character, but he is too conceited and difficult to accept. ”

Zhuang Ming sighed lightly, poured a glass of wine, lightly sprinkled it on the token, and said in his heart: "I don't know how much time and energy it took you to make such a poisonous move to my Zhuang Firm, but I must have spent more time and energy than you to think about what kind of strategy you will use, and how I should deal with your plan." ”

"Actually, I'm not necessarily smarter than you, but I'm missing two sound legs compared to you, so I don't have as many talents as you, but more focus than you, focus on intrigue!"

"You are excellent at chess, very good at tea, and proficient in riding and archery, and your swordsmanship is also very good. ”

"But I'm different, I'm a cripple. ”

"That's why I won. ”

Thinking like this, he took the silk scarf again and wiped the token clean, as if erasing the traces of Song Tianyuan.

In fact, he did consider subduing Song Tianyuan for his own use before, but this person was too ambitious to subdue.

As for letting the tiger return to the mountain, it is even more impossible.

Although the overall situation has been decided and the Song family has been defeated, Song Tianyuan is indeed not a vulgar type, he is ruthless, he uses evil and viciousness, and when it comes to shortcomings, he can only bear it alone.

If he is frustrated this time, defeated by himself, wears his heart, regains his pride, and collects his conceit, he will become more gloomy, and if he focuses on scheming, he will become very terrible.

Even if there is no Xuancheng Song family, Song Tianyuan, who specializes in scheming, will inevitably become a big trouble.

So Zhuang Ming would rather break his promise than keep him.

Now it seems that with this Tai Chi Law Seal, if Song Tianyuan is not dead, he may indeed become a real confidant.

Thankfully, the dust has settled on you.

Song Tianyuan died after all.

It's just a legacy of aftermath, but it's not small.

"The king with a different surname has already crossed the Huai River. ”

Bai Qing came to report and said in a low voice: "Within three days, I will enter Huai'an." ”

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "According to my previous instructions, the right to prepare first." ”

Speaking of this, he reached into his sleeve, rubbed the young dragon's head, looked at the Baishen pot, and said, "Don't disturb me for these two days." ”
