Chapter 576 What to say when we meet again

Compared with Lou Shuwan, the people from the other forces in Qingmu Village would have learned about Ning Yi a little earlier.The earliest was He Shuyuan and He Yuanwai, who had a background in the Qi family. In the afternoon of the second day after meeting the Blood Bodhisattva, someone secretly invited him to the courtyard above the mountainside to talk.

He had visited this inconspicuous small courtyard above the mountainside twice before to visit Liang Bingfu, and he knew in his heart that compared to the lobby of Qingmu Village, this courtyard was the real core of Qingmu Village's power.If the other party can call him, it is likely that he has made a decision to secretly finalize the deal with him.

He Shuyuan was not surprised by this result. Among the various forces that came over this time, the Qi family had the most profound background.As long as it can be combined with the Qi family's power, Lu Liang's place can play the role and make the most profit.This trip, he Shuyuan can be regarded as giving full face to Qingmu Village.

Once Qingmu Village cooperated with the Qi family, it was recruited and entered the military system.Although it is said that it does not interfere with the affairs of Qingmu Village, but at the practical level, when you join the army, you must always be an officer, and you must be supervised, and you can insert people here.Under the impact of various interests such as money and power, these village owners and leaders of Luliangshan will also become part of the interests of the Qi family.After seeing the needle and inserting the needle, it is really difficult to say who will have the final say in Qingmu Village in a few years.

Thinking so in his heart, after entering the room in the courtyard, what he saw was a young man who was writing something at a desk. lift it up.

"Wait a minute, it'll be all right. He Yuanwai, sit down."

He Shuyuan, who was originally full of joy, frowned and stood at the door with his hands on his back, staring at the young man.He was thinking about what the people in Qingmu Village were selling, and his expression was already serious and angry.

The other party ignored him and continued to write something on the paper. When he was finished, he picked it up and took a look before folding it into his sleeve and stopping the brush.Then he looked into the eyes of the middle-aged man at the door, stood up, and picked up the teacup on the table in his hand.

"He Shuyuan and other members, let's meet Ning Yi and Ning Liheng. Have you heard of Secret Investigation Division?" The young man took a sip of tea and walked out from behind the desk, with a slight smile on his face, but he also brought Leng Yi said, "If the Qi family has told you, we have played against each other from last year to this year. During the food disaster, He Yuanwai also made a lot of money, right?"

The moment he heard the words "Secret Investigation Division", He Shuyuan's heart sank. There is a feeling that criminals of later generations are doing bad things and suddenly encounter the FBI.Of course, his feelings were not so specific, but immediately, he realized the meaning of the name Ning Liheng, and he was not sure why this person appeared in Lu Liang now.

"Ning Liheng...you are the one in the prime minister's residence who is in charge of adjusting food and disaster relief..."

From last year to this year, in order to quell the harm of the food disaster, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion almost went to war with the Wu Dynasty in the northern half of the world. Among them, the one responsible for mobilizing food to suppress the price of food in the north and south is the young man in front of him, who once said to the Qi family. Some information is also consistent.In the prime minister's residence, this man named Ning Liheng was able to do such a thing, even if he could not be said to be a state scholar, at least he was a poisonous man who could not be provoked by the prime minister's side.Even if He Yuanwai can rely on the Qi family's relationship to command a place, in front of such a person who represents the authority of the prime minister, it is not enough to see.His words were difficult, but the other party had already walked over.

"Well, it is Xia. In a place like Luliang, there are people on the rivers and lakes who send bandits to kill people with bloody hands, and there are also people who call about demons, all of which are false rumors. Xia is like He Yuanwai, a businessman. Even if there was some friction before, it's just money, and we don't hurt our feelings personally. He Yuanwai, do you think so?"

There was a smile on the other side's face. After all, He Shuyuan was not someone who had never seen the world. He knew that things must have changed, but he regained his composure: "That's right. It's just that He doesn't know why Mr. Ning is here right now. "

"Actually, it's very simple, and it's similar to He Yuanwai's idea." Ning Yi patted his arm with a smile, and walked out the door first, "Let's go out for a walk and talk while walking."

The atmosphere of the current conversation was taken away by Ning Yi from the very beginning.It's just that He Shuyuan can't do anything about it. The other party is not only the core aide of the Prime Minister's mansion, but also has something to do with the vicious and vicious Green Forest people. The name of the demon has caused a gang of gangsters to cry and howl. People, the other party is afraid that they will kill themselves here.He followed all the way out, and stopped outside the door, overlooking the valley of Qingmuzhai.

"He Yuanwai." The young man tilted his head, "Look at Qingmu Village, it's developing quite well. It wasn't like this two years ago. You think it's because the owner of the village is suddenly talented. , made it bigger in one fell swoop? Did you start a border trade?"

He Shuyuan looked at the scene below and hesitated for a moment: "You mean, your prime minister's office has already intervened?"

"No such thing, the Prime Minister's mansion does not admit this, and we will never cooperate with the bandits." Ning Yi smiled, "Today's events are out of my mouth and in your ears, and they have never happened to the outside world. Yes. He Yuanwai, as you know, the prime minister’s family has a big business. Just like you, they need money for everything they do. We have some businesses, such as helping people plan their business. People lead the way, sometimes how much money is earned, how much money is spent, rough people do not know how to manage accounts, we will help to do accounting, and then try to give good advice on income and expenditure. It is a win-win small business, If you make money, you will make money, and if you are good, you will be really good, don’t you think?”

As Ning Yi said that, he was already walking forward, and He Shuyuan followed him with a tangled face.

"In business, the most important thing is not to sell what to buy, but to make friends. Just like the food disaster from last year to this year, we also know a lot of friends. As long as we have friends, our relationship can be connected. What do we need? , What to produce, what to sell, and how to sell, there are people in every link, and it can be quickly turned around, and then everyone can make money, and things can get bigger and bigger. Even if there is a little friction with people during this period, Like I said, it's all about money. It's a good thing that people can still get to know each other. If they didn't know each other, I wouldn't be able to chat with you as well as you are now. He Yuanwai, you You are a senior in business, you say, am I right?"

He Shuyuan: "Haha... yes..."

Ning Yi continued: "As I said, the Secret Investigation Division is just walking around the tent and giving opinions. The Luliang area has been a problem in the border for a long time, and we have been trying to solve its problems. The current situation. However, it is impossible for a single family to do business. In the past, it just opened the door to do business and only charged a small fraction, which is much more affordable than other places. Moreover, Qingmu Village has long admired the king. He Yuanwai will be his own person in the future. He Yuanwai can rest assured that when he opens the door to do business, it will never change, but we have a discount for He Yuanwai's big business. This is Ning Mou In the recent survey, these things are the most profitable, and we will receive less than usual, so let’s take a look outside.”

He said, and put the paper he wrote earlier into He Shuyuan's hand.He Shuyuan held the paper, but didn't open it, just looked at Ning Yi: "So, it is also the opinion of Qin Xiangye?"

"It's not anyone's opinion. It's just that the border has always been a big issue. How to control and control it has its laws. We can't fish for a year or two. These things are the considerations of the people above, Li Xiang Qin Xiang and the others. Consider, I'm not very clear."

Ning Yi said while smiling brightly.But the meaning at the moment is: this is the result of our consideration, not something you can know at this level.He Shuyuan frowned. He didn't know how much effort the Secret Investigation Division had put into this place, but he understood that it was useless to roll around in front of this person. After thinking about it, he said, "What about the army? Vice-General Xiao. They are here, can you explain the matter of the prime minister's tiger's mouth grabbing food?"

Border trade played a pivotal role in the taxation of the Wu Dynasty, but there were also various interventions, and the Prime Minister's residence was definitely not clean here.However, such a division of interests is like a political struggle. There is friction with each other, but they will not tear their faces. Once the distribution of interests is determined, everyone will abide by the tacit agreement.If it is said that the Prime Minister’s residence is here to open a smuggling outlet, the matter can be big or small, but of course, there are only so many benefits at the border. Everyone is scrambling to grab it, and it can be opened in a place like Luliang where no benefits were obtained in the past. A hole can be regarded as a skill. As long as it does not affect too much and does not eat alone, there is still a way to manage it.

Ning Yi also shook his head: "We naturally have arrangements for these things. As I said, the Prime Minister's office didn't actually intervene in the affairs of Qingmu Village. At most, we lobbied here and made a suggestion. What the Xiangfu is interested in is actually the coal mine in Luliang Mountain. I don’t know if He Yuanwai has heard of it. There are several open-air coal mines here, which are very easy to mine. We have done some business in the capital, called... , I need this thing. So we also hope that Lu Liang will be able to stay in good health for a long time."

He Shuyuan said: "I heard about that stove. However, the coal is cheap. Wouldn't it be too much trouble to transport it from here?"

"The business needs to be big. There is coal here, so we can develop the coal stove business northward. The stove is still very useful."

He Shuyuan nodded, and smiled after a while: "If you want to do this business, He would be very willing to participate in a single stock, so as to enjoy what the people of the capital like."

"Haha, He Yuanwai's words are heavy. Qianglong doesn't want to overwhelm the locals. He wants to do business in the north. I will be the first to find He Yuanwai. I will provide the technology, and you will provide the manpower. How about. As for Lu Liangshan..."

What kind of coal business, lotus root coal business, for the He family is just a small business between the teeth, just saying this, to get closer, He Shuyuan interrupted Ning Yi with a smile: "I understand Brother Ning's business about Lu Liangshan. Meaning, however, there is still the Qi family behind my brother. I can't tell what their views are. But no matter what, just like what Brother Ning said, it's just a business and it doesn't hurt the peace, how about it?"

Ning Yi reached out and patted his hand holding the paper: "Well, everyone is doing things, friction is inevitable, follow the rules and don't hurt."

The two were talking and laughing, and Ning Yi sent He Shuyuan to the mountain pass and waved goodbye.Just after turning around, the smiles of the two of them faded in an instant. Ning Yi frowned and walked back bored. He Shuyuan gritted his teeth for a while. He was very resentful that the Secret Investigation Division had intervened here, but this kind of thing was indeed true. Talk about first come first served.Everyone secretly manages their own interests. If the Secret Investigation Division really started to control Lu Liang two years ago, and others want to intervene, then it is really a tiger's mouth, so what can he do even if he is angry.

That afternoon, Ning Yi met with Wu Shengjun's deputy general Xiao Cheng. As a member of the army, this deputy general was the easiest to settle. After bringing out the backgrounds of Qin Siyuan, Qin Shaoqian, and the Secret Investigation Division, he promised to make a promise. With a lot of money, the other party immediately became Ning Yi's iron brother.For Wu Shengjun to do things like Lu Liang, even if he did it, how much could he earn?Only the money in your pocket is the real money...

As Ning Yi said, business people will not tear their faces away casually. Even if they can tear up their faces with Qingmu Village, they are not willing to tear up their faces with the Secret Investigation Division and Qin Siyuan.However, under such rules, it is still a choice to take a chance, make some small moves, or wait for the situation to change and deteriorate.After Ning Yi said hello to these people, the grass on the top of the mountain near Qingmu Village also began to gather here, first spies and spies, and then some leaders, large and small, were prepared to visit the Blood Bodhisattva.

In the beginning, Lou Shuwan was very distressing to the people around her. Once someone on the surrounding hills believed it, they involuntarily began to discuss and connect in private.Regarding the possibility of Qingmu Village being recruited, everyone felt a huge sense of crisis.In this way, the outside of Qingmu Village, which was already full of people, has become more crowded and chaotic these days.Inside Qingmu Village, the people who were initially panicked because of the appearance of so many outsiders, have calmed down these days, and silently began to shrink their defenses and consolidate the village.

Qingmu Village has developed business in the past two years, and has absorbed most of the foreign population. Now it even seems a little chaotic in the process of expansion.Once the fight starts, the business and the stockade will definitely be affected. On the other hand, it seems that most of the forces from Luliangshan except Qingmu Village are united this time, and the momentum is astonishing.To anyone, Qing Muzhai would not want to fight this battle.And if Qingmu Village didn't want to see war, the current phenomenon of consolidating the defense line can only be said to be the most passive defense.

The whole situation began to tighten under such an atmosphere. On the night of three days later, the blood bodhisattva, the head of the village, held a banquet to entertain these distinguished guests who went up the mountain, and everyone went to participate.Arriving at the banquet in the main hall, Lou Shuwan suppressed a trembling mood and waited for a figure to appear as a guest. However, Ning Yi and others did not appear among the guests until the flowing banquet started.Halfway through the banquet, she almost stood up to test the Blood Bodhisattva and asked her where the demon who went up the mountain this time is now. At this moment, Qiu Guyan came in from outside the hall, and whispered behind her ear. some news.

"...I heard some rumors from the people in the mountains, and I don't know if it's true for the time being. The Blood Bodhisattva did not compete by martial arts, but...she already has a sweetheart, and I heard that she already knew it internally, that person is Ning Li. Heng, he entered the mountain to marry the Blood Bodhisattva... So this time, he is not a guest, but the host..."

At the position of the village owner not far away, the woman nicknamed Blood Bodhisattva was talking to the guests with a smile and a distance.Lou Shuwan was holding the wine glass, and there was a "hum" in her head. The light left for a moment, and then she returned to her eyes tremblingly. She found that her hands were shaking slightly, and the picture in her eyes was shaking.

"...Even if he is the main family." She found that her voice was hoarse, so she repeated it again, "Even if he is the main family...the people outside the mountain are going to surround, why is he not moving, he is waiting Die? He knows that a lot of people will be killed in a fight..."

"This...it's clear..."

"It's going to kill a lot of people... Does he know... What is he thinking..."

That night, she didn't know how she got out of the hall. Walking on the mountain road, the night wind was cold, the mountains were lonely, and the lights in the courtyards in the distance seemed to laugh at her.She returned to her yard and room, sat for a long time, put on her cloak again, and went out. She walked to the door of the courtyard where Zhu Biao and others lived, and was about to go inside, but someone stopped him.Qiu Guyan, who was in charge of protecting her, also came to block the man.

"I want to see Ning Yi!"

she said so.However, after experiencing Xiao Xiangma's incident, everyone knew that the Tian Hu force she represented was the enemy, and the blockers did not intend to give him a good look.

"Girl, none of us want to see you here."

"I want to see Ning Yi!" she yelled, "I know him! I know he saw me too! Let him come out to see me—"

In the backyard of Shawanshi, some of Dong Pang'er's subordinates were disturbed and came to watch the fun.The blocker was also taken aback. This woman sounded familiar with the boss... I didn't know what to do for a while. In the back room, Zhu Biao had already run out: "Ah, you..."

"Tell Ning Yi to come out and see me! It's just that the enemy of the Lou family came to look for him—"

"Uh, wait." Zhu Biao thought for a while, then disappeared behind the courtyard.

Lou Shuwan wore her cloak, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and closed her eyes.After a long time, Zhu Biao came down from the mountain and said to her, "He can see you tomorrow morning."

Lou Shuwan closed her eyes, took a breath, and turned to leave.

The next morning, she met Ning Yi.
