New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

After some negotiations, Meng Xian was rescued, and the invaders left safely.

The chaotic Meng family quieted down suddenly, leaving only the personnel in charge of the aftermath to rest the damaged places, rescue the wounded, and so on.

Meng Xian did a simple examination and bandaging, then hurried to the council hall and saw Ling Yunwu and the big shopkeeper of the Meng family.

The Meng family is a family-owned business, so the people below call the head of the Meng family the big shopkeeper.

Now the person sitting in the headquarters of the Meng family in Yangzhou is the big treasurer of the Meng family-Meng Dong, and he also has several apprentices, all of whom are scattered everywhere in charge of the Meng family's workshops.

Meng Dong is not tall, stocky, flushed, a pair of eyes are always wide, and his face is coiled with a circle of steel needles and white beards.

When outsiders see him for the first time, they will definitely regard him as a master, and they will definitely not associate it with words such as the world's first forging master and the head of the family.

But this inconspicuous old man not only improved all kinds of siege and defense equipment in the Anshi Rebellion, helped the Tang army win countless victories, but also was good at manufacturing weapons and organs, and the things produced by the Meng family were priceless on the black market.

However, they do not accept customization, and only occasionally provide a batch of standard weapons, which are not cheap but most people can afford them, or on a whim, or give away or sell a few magic weapons. Those divine soldiers will not attract blood, but set off a huge wave of money, any one of which is worth more than one million, attracting countless rich people to fight for wealth.

In short, the Meng family relied on this business model of not opening for three years and eating for three years, and lived an extremely improvisable life.

At this time, Meng Dong was talking to Ling Yunwu about something, and Meng Xian greeted him and saluted, "Big shopkeeper." ”

"Captain Meng... As soon as Meng Dong opened his mouth, he began to cough violently, and his whole face was flushed red, as if he was dripping blood.

He pondered his skills by the stove all the year round, and inevitably inhaled some charcoal dust, and over time he had such old problems, when he was young, he was fine, but when he was old, he couldn't hold on.

Every time I cough, I always feel that I am about to return to the west immediately, and after coughing, I can still continue to shout at the volume that is much larger than ordinary people, and the apprentices and grandchildren blow the wind and iron hard.

There were guests here today, Meng Dong also barely endured it, coughed a few times and held the rest in his chest, and after his breath stabilized, he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, nodded apologetically to Ling Yunwu before speaking.

"Captain Meng, it's been a hard job tonight. Wait for you to count the number of people, see how many are injured and killed, inform Steward Lin, and let him pay the pension according to the previous statement. If you don't have relatives, you can use that money to buy some better coffins, and choose a piece of feng shui treasure to bury them together. ”

The Meng family recruits temporary guards with a high salary, and when they recruit workers, it also shows that there is a certain degree of danger, but for the sake of high salaries, danger is not a big deal at all.

Money is much more important than life these days, there are so many people who learn martial arts, and those who are not top-notch masters have no chance to make an appearance, so they can only show people the yard and deliver goods.

"Big shopkeeper, I finally caught the traces of the assassin today, why don't you take the opportunity to take it down? In the past three days, there have been people at both ends of the Meng family, and as a result, everyone has swaggered away, if we can't take down one or two, what face does our Meng family have to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes?"

What Meng Xian didn't understand was this, why did this little girl from the Ling family just show up and let the assassin go, and Meng Dong did what she said, even if she was a member of the Ling family, she didn't have to give such a big face?

Ling Yunwu smiled, "It was mainly for the safety of Captain Meng that he would let those assassins leave. ”

"Which is more important between the face of the Meng family and my safety!? If you don't teach those people a lesson, really my Meng family is their backyard!"

Meng Xian wanted to show his courage as the captain of the guard in front of Meng Dong, but when he saw the exquisite Ling Yun Dance, a pair of eyes couldn't help but aim at her.

"Miss Ling, the Meng family spent a lot of money to invite the Ling family's martial guards, but it didn't let you come here to talk big. The escort team paid a lot of money to surround the people, and you let them go with the phrase 'don't bully the weak', so what the hell are you here for?"

This time, he had forgotten who was rushing to perform, and asked everyone to wait for the assassin to be captured.

Facing Meng Xian's gaze, Ling Yunwu was already a little displeased, but Meng Dong was still on the side, and it was not easy to attack, so he just shook a sharp look: "Captain Meng, the assassins have come to assassinate Miss Meng five times, it must have been deliberately done by someone, just catching the assassin can only avoid this assassination, and it is also necessary to find out who is behind the scenes, so as to understand this matter." ”

"Then are you just sitting behind the scenes and waiting for the master to come to the door?" Since Ling Yunwu came, Meng Xian, the captain of the garrison, was like a little brother, with a wave of his arm, he had to run through the fart, and he was tired to death in the past few days of modifying the armament, so he didn't pay too much attention in many places, and he just made do with it.

"Meng Xian!" Meng Dong's voice was already about to be loud, and the sudden scolding even shook off the dust on the roof, "Commander Ling has already informed Old Master Yu of her arrangements, you just need to fully cooperate, and there is no need to ask anything else." ”

"The big treasurer, the subordinate...... The subordinates went to count the number of people in their hands first. ”

Meng Xian was poked by the sword-like eyes, and then there was a thunderbolt, only to remember that he was here to express his loyalty, and by the way to make up for the disadvantage, but he accidentally fell into fascination because of looking at beautiful women, and began to talk nonsense, but now that he is sober, he hurriedly finds a reason to leave.

Then Ling Yunwu also got up and saluted Meng Dong: "Grandpa Meng, Xiao Wu will also go to check the arming situation everywhere to see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted." ”

After both of them left, Meng Dong asked, "Have the people of the Tang family gone back?"

Steward Lin, who was more like the head of the family, replied: "The two elders of the Tang family said that Tang Gongzi's injury was not light, so he went back to heal first. ”

Meng Dong dug into his ears and said disdainfully: "Hmph, the group of people in the Tang family all look like yin and yang, and even the little master is also thin and tender, and he is girly." Damn, look at him like that, I guess I can't even hold the lightest hammer, and I still want to think about Lao Tzu's precious granddaughter?

When there were no outsiders, Meng Dong instantly put down the majesty of the big shopkeeper and turned into an ordinary old man.

Steward Lin smiled bitterly and said cautiously: "After all, the Tang family took the initiative to help, and in order to capture the assassin, Young Master Tang was also injured, so we have to express it." ”

"Okay, okay, you go and arrange it. ”

"Yes, the treasurer. ”

......

Outside the Meng family......

Xiao Hei gently hugged Fei Yao and calmed down her violent emotions.

Ming You carried Wen Jin behind his back and said helplessly, "Hey, pay attention, there's still someone here who is dying!!"

Fei Yao, who had calmed down, left Xiao Hei's embrace, glared at Ming You, and then checked Wen Jin's situation before going up again.

The three of them leaped silently over the eaves, but they didn't see it, as if something had fallen to the ground......
