Volume 2 This Is Not The End Chapter 171 Miss Locke
"Don't worry, although it is autumn now, it is not the time for our Gulouzhai to harvest, and the purpose of my visit is to help you. The old man said that he was not here to ask for debts.
"Then the old gentleman must have a way to help us get out of the Song Realm?" said Butterfly as she walked over.
"Not bad. The old man smiled and nodded.
"What way?" Fang Baiyu thought to himself, could it be that Gu Lou Zhai's forces had infiltrated the Great Song army, and could control the defenders of Xiaosheng Pass?
"The Great Song Dynasty was founded by business, when the Song Taizu Zhao and the army were lacking in food and salary, several businessmen made great efforts, and later the Great Song Dynasty was established, and these people all benefited. ”
This old man, codenamed Dusk, introduced the situation of the business world of the Great Song Dynasty to everyone, and now the business world of the Song Dynasty is mainly controlled by four merchant families, and these four families are Ji Lai Luo Guan.
"Which family's property is Gu Lou Zhai?" Hearing this, Fang Baiyu's heart moved.
"We are a small business, and we dare not compare with the four great families. The old man shook his hand.
I believe you are a ghost, you are very bad old man, Fang Baiyu doesn't believe the old man's words, but the method he said is good.
The power of the four great families in the Great Song Dynasty is intertwined, and their business is not limited to the Great Song Dynasty, and the old man knows that the Luo family has recently had a batch of goods that are about to be shipped to the Tang Dynasty, and they are taking the road of Xiaoshengguan.
"Do you want us to blend in with their delivery team?" Fang Baiyu thought to himself, is it that easy?
"It depends on the skills of Fang Gongzi and your friends, I know that it is not difficult for you to force your way out, but once your deeds are exposed, I am afraid it will hinder your future journey. The old man waved his sleeves, turned and left.
"Where are those people from the Luo family now?" Seeing this, Fang Baiyu hurriedly asked.
"In the sheep intestines. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the man had disappeared.
"Sheep intestines and tripe, pretending to be a ghost. The old man's cultivation was really above himself, Fang Baiyu felt weak in his heart, and could only complain a few words.
"I know that it is also a city under the jurisdiction of Jinshan County, and we are now not far from Xiaoshengguan, if you want to go to Yanggu, you need to take a detour. Wu Yong designed two plans for Fang Baiyu, one was to wait for the Luo family's delivery team at Xiaoshengguan, and the other was to go to the sheep intestines.
"Let's go to the sheep intestines. Fang Baiyu was still thinking, the butterfly had already made a choice for him.
"Why?" Fang Baiyu asked the woman.
"A business house like the Four Great Families must be strict in the management of the team, and it would be too much of a trace if we mixed in with their team when we went out. Butterflies said with common sense.
"The lady has a point, but how can we get in?" Fang Baiyu seized the opportunity to pat the butterfly's ass.
"You have to go your separate ways. Butterfly thinks that the current team is too dazzling, and it must be broken into pieces to blend into the Locke caravan.
"There were six of us, and we were in exactly three groups. Fang Baiyu means that he is in a group with butterflies, Hongyi and Liu Jiaren in a group, of course, the little girl has to bring Huanhuan and Lulu, the pets, and Wu Yong is with Wu Song
。
"I disagree. "Liu Jiaren just can't see Fang Baiyu and butterflies together.
"If you don't agree, you have to agree, or you will go back. Fang Baiyu didn't want to endure the girl's brutality anymore, seeing that Liu Jiaren was about to cry again, the butterfly hurriedly separated them.
"That's it, a few of us women together, Wu Yong and Wu Song all the way, Bai Yu you are in a group, let's go separately, and be sure to blend into the Luo family caravan within three days. The butterfly spoke, Fang Baiyu could only agree, the script originally arranged for everyone could only leave the Great Song Dynasty and perform it again, so it was okay, although so many years have passed, maybe there are still people who remember the Zhu family.
Reluctantly parted with everyone, mainly because he was reluctant to butterflies, although Fang Baiyu had seen many beautiful women after coming to the Ming Realm, she was the only one who could make the young man feel at ease, it was a feeling of home.
Home is a gentle harbor, but too many people walk on the road, and there is such a group of people on the official road of Xu An and Yanggu in Jinshan County.
There were hundreds of knights active at both ends of the long procession, and there were more than a hundred carriages, most of them full of goods, and each carriage had a small flag with the word Luo written on it.
"Da-da-da-da. "A horse came galloping, and the knight of the horse stopped beside a carriage that was carrying people, and the men inside drew the curtains at the sound of the sound.
"What's the matter with Luo Feng?" a delicate voice came from the carriage.
"Miss, there is a sheep intestine in front, the team must stop and trim it, there have been a lot of people running in the past few days, we have to add some manpower. "The man who was called Luo Feng was a man in his thirties, he was burly and dressed in green clothes, and he looked very loyal and honest.
"We can only stay for one day at most, and we have to leave Da Song as soon as possible. The curtain was pulled down again, and Luo Feng rode towards the front of the team.
There were only two women in the carriage, a girl in a moon-white Luo skirt and a round-faced little Lori, who pouted and said unhappily: "Miss, those people have no conscience." ”
"The Locke family is no longer the Locke family of the past, how can you expect them to be as loyal as before. "That girl in white is Luo Bing, the eldest lady of the Luo family.
"Miss, can we still come back?" Many people thought that the Locke family was just a normal business trip this time, but the maid Ting'er knew that it wasn't.
"If we go back to Chang'an, I'm afraid we will not take a carriage but a prisoner's carriage. Luo Bing's fair face was full of sorrow, the Luo family really made a loss-making deal this time.
The business road is the official road, if you want to be invincible in the business field, you can't do without the support of the imperial court, the Luo family relied on supporting Zhao He to make a fortune, of course understand this truth.
Zhao Jie has no children, the only bloodline is Li Yuanfang, many people think that this eldest princess will become the first empress of the Great Song Dynasty sooner or later, and the Luo family also thinks so, they have always been closer to the queen's faction.
But later it turned out to be a failed investment, Li Yuanfang married into the field, and then defected with Li Shishi.
The Locke family was also affected, and was squeezed out by the other three families openly and secretly, and the Locke family was anxious to find a backer, just in the palace
There was news that Zhao Jie intended to establish a reserve.
Only Zhao Heng, the well-off king, and Zhao An, the grandson of King Rong, have this qualification, and the latter is the queen of the guilty minister, so the government and the opposition are optimistic about Zhao Heng.
However, the Locke family doesn't think so, because there is one person who has been supporting Zhao An with a clear banner, and this person is too often to serve Yu Xian.
Businessmen can't leave the support of nobles, and the most noble person in the world is the emperor, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Jie, and Yu Xian is the closest person to Zhao Jie.
Investing in Zhao An, it was decided so happily, the Luo family decided to support Zhao An after a meeting, and they had a big chip this time, and this chip was Luo Bing.
Like Zhao Jie, Luo Xiang, the head of the Luo family, did not give birth to a son, but the eldest lady Luo Bingxiu is wise, and she can already help her father in the twenty-ninth year, and many of the decisions of the Luo family firm are made by the father and daughter together.
Luo Xiang's original idea was to find a desirable person for his daughter in a few years, but now he wants to entrap Zhao An, because the relationship between King Rong and this son has not been valued for many years, and he has not yet married when he is near, Luo Xiang feels that the best way to show the sincerity of the Luo family is to marry his daughter to him.
Zhao An was overjoyed when he heard the news, the two sides hit it off, exchanged Geng posts, and the two families agreed that Zhao An and Luo Bing would marry in September.
The later plot was similar to Luo Xiang's imagination, Zhao Heng died of illness for no reason, and Zhao An would become the crown prince, and Luo Bing would also become the crown princess of the Great Song Dynasty.
Life is a farce, and when you think you're on your way to the pinnacle of life, the next step may be the abyss.
Just when everyone in the Locke family was overjoyed, the plot suddenly reversed.
Zhao Jie was assassinated in the palace, and it is said that it was Taichang Yu Xian who assassinated him, and Yu Xian later disappeared.
"The Locke family is finished. When he heard the news, Luo Xiang was eating melon seeds, and when he was excited, the skin of the melon seeds hit his nose, and he once again sympathized with Zhao Jie, and both of them died.
After that, the trend of the imperial court was like Luo Xiang's prophecy, Zhao Dan inherited the throne as the emperor's uncle, but Luo Bing's fiancé Zhao An fell ill, and the disease never got better.
Can't sit still, Luo Bing knows that the current Luo family is like a fat sheep that can only be slaughtered, and the two wrong bets have made them have too many enemies, and the Great Song Dynasty has no place to stand, and the only way to survive is to leave.
Luo Bing decided to go to the Tang Dynasty after careful consideration, although the Luo family's business is all over the Ming Realm, but the largest transactions are in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the Luo family and Master Li's mother and daughter have some incense love, Luo Bing believes that they will give the Luo family support, and they must also need the support of the Luo family.
Said to go, Luo Binghastily finished his father's funeral and rushed to the Tang Dynasty with a caravan, the girl is very smart, the gold and silver are not brought, the biggest wealth of the Luo family is in her head, as long as people can escape, those yellow and white things can be abandoned.
Because of Luo Bing's wisdom and the chaos caused by the overlapping high-level of the Great Song Dynasty, no one noticed their departure, and the Luo family caravan walked from Chang'an to Jinshan County.
However, many of the Locke family's descendants still smell danger
Dao, what Luo Bing did is to defect to the big picture, in case it is discovered by the imperial court, a crime of collusion can make the Luo family beheaded.
The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead, and in the past few days, there are constantly people who have taken advantage of the rest time to run away, and the girl does not know if they will report themselves to the court?
Time always moves fast when thinking about things, Luo Bing felt that someone was shaking her shoulder, and when she turned around, Ting'er was looking at her worriedly.
"Is Luo Feng's sheep intestines here?" the girl also heard the neighing of horses outside the car window, and she opened the curtain again.
"The young lady hasn't arrived yet, but an old man wants to see you. The rider outside the car replied respectfully.
