Tong Yuan maintained the posture of raising his palms, his voice returned to calm, and said hoarsely: "It's a little interesting, continue." ”

Yun Menghan opened the folding fan and shook it a few times, looked back at Ye Yuanqing and the others, turned his head to Zhou Kongqi and said, "Senior Zhou, can you take my son-in-law and his friends back to the room to rest first?"

Zhou Kongqi nodded, and Zhou An at the door walked up to Ye Yuanqing, bent down and stretched out his hand and said, "Ye Gongzi, Lin Gongzi, Miss Cui, please." ”

Ye Yuanqing looked at Yun Menghan, who returned a smile, so he saluted Zhou Kongqi and the others, then turned around and walked out of the living room, Lin Yuanqing and Cui Lingsha also walked out after him.

After the three of them walked away, Yun Menghan made a gesture of please, and Zhou Kongqi hurriedly laughed: "Hahaha, hey, it's all my own family, why bother to make the atmosphere so stiff, come on, sit down and say." ”

Yun Menghan looked at Jiang Wenbin behind Tong Yuan, frowned and said, "Senior Tong, is it okay for Jiang Gongzi to listen here?"

Jiang Wenbin already knew somewhat at this moment that he had provoked the wrong person, and he hurriedly got up and was about to go out, Tong Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him, and the old man said unhurriedly: "Wenbin is my righteous son, my business is his business, why should he be here?"

Yun Menghan shrugged his shoulders and said You are happy, Jiang Wenbin glanced at his master gratefully, and then bowed his head and stood by the wall.

I saw Yun Menghan snap and close the paper fan, walked to the desk on the side and said, "Senior Zhou, borrow pen and ink." ”

Zhou Kongqi nodded, and Yun Menghan took a piece of white paper and spread it on the round table in front of everyone, drew a triangle on it with a pen, and dotted a black dot in the lower right corner and said: "This is the wharf on the south bank of Hangzhou, along the canal can lead to Tianjin in the north, Luoyang in the west, and through Yangzhou in the south, Ruhai can reach Goryeo and Dongying. ”

Tong Yuan looked at the piece of paper quietly and said hoarsely, "Go on." ”

Yun Menghan smiled slightly and continued: "There are a total of twenty-five warehouses here, except for thirteen, the rest is the property of Senior Zhou." ”

Zhou Kongqi replied with a smile: "Yes." ”

"As far as I know, nearly half of the private salt on the market is shipped out through here, and more than 2,000 ships can be shipped out in a day, each ship is worth hundreds of taels, not to mention silk, cloth, grain, medicinal materials, calligraphy and painting and other commodities, just the ore, gold and jade that are transported in every day, are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you know better than me about the transportation and other things, and there are countless passing ships, with the thirteen warehouses, it is equivalent to owning half of the wharf, and its value does not need me to say more... Tong seniors. Yun Menghan kept staring at Tong Yuan when he spoke, as if he wanted to read the other party's thoughts from the other party's eyes, but unfortunately Tong Yuan's mood did not change at all.

"Although the management of Nan'an Wharf is in the hands of Lord Duan, Lord Duan has divided this power into two and handed it over to two people, right?" Yun Menghan looked at Duan Changqing.

Duan Changqing coughed, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said casually, "What does Mr. Yun mean by this?"

Yun Changqing looked at Zhou Kongqi, and the other party nodded slightly, so he said aloud: "Okay, since everyone can be here today, it means that they are allies, and many unhappiness in the past can be put down first, and what we are seeking is greater interests." ”

Tong Yuan slowly opened his eyes at this moment, stared at the paper on the table and said slowly, "Qi Xianliang?"

"Tong seniors are smart people. Yun Menghan said with a smile.

"Yun Menghan, right, I know that you are a member of the Ye family in Chang'an, although the strength of our Huanhua Sword Sect is not as strong as the Ye family, but I can be sure that no one can leave this Hangzhou City. ”

"Senior Tong is serious. ”

"Since you have investigated so clearly, then you should also know that Qi Yaozu is my disciple, you still dare to say such a thing in front of me? Aren't you afraid that you are seeking skin with a tiger?" Tong Yuan still lowered his eyelids and said slowly without moving.

"As Senior Tong said, you are confident in your own strength, but you don't want to see a big battle between the two sides. Yun Menghan said this and took out the rag again, the blood stains on it had dried, leaving only a dark red, Tong Yuan's eyelids jumped involuntarily after seeing the rag, but then his eyes sank, still not moving.

Yun Menghan smiled after seeing his reaction, he put the cloth on the paper and said, "Qi Yaozu only worshipped Tong's predecessor as a teacher half a month ago, I don't think the relationship for half a month is not so solid, Jiang Gongzi, what do you think?" After speaking, he looked at Jiang Wenbin and said.

At this moment, Jiang Wenbin more or less understood the meaning of several people, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, Yun Menghan's words pulled him back from shock, he stumbled and didn't know how to answer, his face was flushed, Tong Yuan snorted coldly when he saw this, and said: "Yun Gongzi doesn't have to be embarrassed Wenbin, just say anything directly." ”

"Hahaha, don't blame Senior Tong, then I'll say it directly, our Ye family thinks that there are Zhou family and Huanhua Sword Sect in Hangzhou City, and one more Qi Xianliang is too much. ”

"When will it be the turn of outsiders to meddle in our affairs in Hangzhou?" Tong Yuan still lowered his head and said, but his body exuded a cold murderous aura.

Zhou Kongqi laughed and said: "Hey, old boy, people say that fifty knows the destiny of heaven, you are in your seventies, why are you still so short-tempered? ”

"Hmph!" Tong Yuan heard Zhou Kongqi say this, and it was not good to have another attack.

"Senior Tong is too anxious, in fact, I have another task in Hangzhou this time, which is to investigate Qi Xianliang's smuggling of smuggled salt. After Yun Menghan finished speaking, he took out a talisman from his arms, this talisman was made of white jade, embossed with silver dragon patterns, Zhou Kongqi and Tong Yuan had never seen it, and they might doubt its authenticity, but Duan Changqing beside them knew it, and immediately fell to the ground after seeing it, and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Qincha." ”

Yun Menghan helped Duan Changqing up and said with a smile: "Lord Duan doesn't need to be polite, the Holy Lord secretly arranged for my lord to investigate this matter, so I hope that my lord will not make a noise." ”

"Xia Guan understands. Duan Changqing said with a hunched waist.

Seeing Duan Changqing's reaction like this, Zhou Kongqi and Tong Yuan stood up in unison.

"Originally, there was a lot of saying in the DPRK that 'those who practice martial arts violate the ban with martial arts', and this time I just want to solve this matter as a martial arts person, but since this is the case, then I sincerely ask Senior Zhou and Senior Tong to assist. Yun Menghan looked at the two, Zhou Kongqi seemed to have known about this for a long time, and kept smiling, Tong Yuan was silent for a long time and said: "If Yun Gongzi is just investigating the case, after the evidence is conclusive, he can lead the officers and soldiers to take down Qi Xianliang and his group, and Qi Xianliang's assets should be confiscated, so what does this matter have to do with me?"

"Senior Tong doesn't know, the meaning of the Holy Lord is to curb the flow of illicit salt into the market, and we can decide other matters ourselves, besides, Qi Xianliang runs such a big industry, he is tired enough, and it is time for him to rest. Yun Menghan said meaningfully.

"With the strength of the Zhou family master, he can completely deal with all situations, and why did he have to cut a piece of meat in the first place, wouldn't it be better to eat it alone?" Tong Yuan looked at Zhou Kongqi and said.

"Hahaha, Lao Tong, why are you so suspicious, I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, Brother Yun has already explained this matter to me, Qi Xianliang's assets are more than what I just said, everyone has been neighbors for many years, of course I have to think about you if there is a benefit. Zhou Kongqi said, grabbed Tong Yuan's shoulders and laughed.

Tong Yuan took two steps to the side silently and said, "What about Master Duan?"

"Hehe, the old man will leave office in three years, and if a big case can be solved under my rule, it will be the icing on the cake. Duan Changqing said with a smile.

"Senior Tong, although the Huanhua Sword Sect is a big sect, you must also know the annual income of the gang, and the income of a few medicinal herb shops and wood factories in the city alone can't support the expenses of the entire gang. Yun Menghan said.

"Hehe, Yun Gongzi is a good method, he will find out our family background in a few days after coming to Hangzhou. Although Tong Yuan said this, he was still secretly surprised that Yun Menghan could understand the affairs of his sect so well.

"Tong seniors have won the prize, not to mention the South Shore Wharf, just the monthly income of the casino, pawnshop, and restaurant in Changle Fang is higher than the annual income of all your industries, no matter how you think about it, you won't lose money. ”

"Okay, since Yun Gongzi said so, there is another question that Gongzi needs to answer truthfully, that is, what benefits can your Ye family get from the middle? Tong Yuan finally raised his head, opened his eyes, stared at Yun Menghan and said.

"Okay, don't hide it from the predecessors, some industries of the Ye family want to settle in Hangzhou, and they need the nod of the local martial arts leader. Yun Menghan also stared intently at Tong Yuan's eyes and replied.

"Haha, then aren't we luring the wolf into the room?" Tong Yuan suddenly burst out laughing.

Besides, we are here to be serious, and we don't plan to compete with our predecessors for anything, more than a dozen counties and townships around Suzhou and Hangzhou, we will not do such a thing as cutting off people's financial roads, and when the time comes, we also need the full support of our predecessors, and we pay attention to a win-win situation in trading. ”

"Okay, since Yun Gongzi said it so clearly, the old man will accompany you for a while, and afterwards, the South Bank Wharf and Changle Fang will be under the name of the Huanhua Sword Sect. Tong Yuan picked up the white jade sword on the table, waved Jiang Wenbin to summon him, and strode out of the living room.

"Old boy, go slowly, it's dark and the road is slippery, I won't send it, Zhou An, lead the way for the Tong Hall Master." Zhou Kongqi shouted outside the door, and after a while, Zhou Kongqi, Yun Menghan, and Duan Changqing glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.
