Chapter 481
"There is absolutely no such thing! Duke, this is slander and slander!" Two Shanxi merchants jumped up, blowing their beards and staring and shouting: "We are in Shanxi, and we entrust Mr. Jiang to protect us, so we will naturally accept Mr. Jiang's favor." , with his instruction, the Fan family and the Wang family behaved cautiously and had no dealings with the Tartars at all, what is written on it must be the work of traitors who are jealous of us!"

"Oh?" Wang Huan stroked his chin.

"Absolutely! Both of us can guarantee our lives!" The two Shanxi merchants swore to the sky: "Please check it out!"

"So, there are ghosts in it?" Wang Huan frowned, thinking.

Jiang Guan's eyes flickered, he stared at Wang Huan for a while, then narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Guo Gong, shopping malls are like battlefields. The Fan and Wang families have behaved uprightly and sat upright. They have never violated the regulations of the court. They have a clear conscience! But doing business will inevitably offend some people. It's always a trick, please be careful, don't fall into the trap of the traitor!" The two Shanxi merchants continued to argue, this matter can be big or small, but it must be made clear.

Jiang Xuan listened to it, and couldn't sit still. Among the eight Shanxi merchants, Fan and Wang were based in Datong. In fact, they were puppets raised by the Jiang family.In the Ming Dynasty, the road from Datong to Zhangjiakou was always cut off by Jiang Guan. Only Fan and Wang could pass without hindrance. Other Shanxi merchants had to collect money to pass by.

Therefore, the Jiang family and the Fan and Wang families are in a relationship that both prospers and loses. Today, when hosting a banquet, Jiang Guan wants to make friends with Wang Huan and get acquainted. On the other hand, he also introduces the two to Wang Huan. the meaning of.

In Jiang Guan's impression, Wang Huan was a good fighter, and his ability to do business was better than fighting.As a vassal of one side, Jiang Guan clearly realized that what is fought in war is money, and without money, relying on mud legs alone cannot make a fortune.He sees clearly that Wang Huan is a rising star in the officialdom. He lives in a temple. In fact, he is also a businessman who is proficient in calculation. According to common sense, such a character would not refuse his kindness.

Many friends have many paths, Jiang Yu is deeply rooted in Shanxi, and now he is pulling his face to please Wang Huan, Wang Huan should not refuse.

Jiang Yu was even ready to give up some benefits. As long as Wang Huan was willing to accept him, the Jiang family would continue to occupy a stable place in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

But Wang Huan's behavior on the table was not very friendly. Jiang Xuan slapped his thigh and wanted to speak.

A hand reached out from the oblique stab and held him down.

When Jiang Xuan saw it, his brother shook his head lightly at him, signaling him not to act rashly.

Wait a minute, Jiang Guan's eyes conveyed these words.

The conversation between the two Shanxi merchants and Wang Huan was still going on. After listening to the confession of the two patriarchs, Wang Huan nodded and sighed: "It's reasonable, but I don't believe it either. , that’s why I’m willing to tell a few of you.”

The two Jin merchants were overjoyed, but before they could be happy, Wang Huan said to Li Tingyu and Li Dingguo: "Take out everything."

The two stood up, lifted two packages from their feet, and threw them on the table.

Jiang Xuan and the others didn't know why, and stared blankly, unable to figure out what was inside, but Jiang Yu's gaze began to sharpen, and his hands were tightly clenched together into fists.

Wang Huan took a sip of tea leisurely, and said: "The wine is good wine, is it from Fen Bar? It is mellow and fragrant, and tastes good to drink, but there are some impurities, and some teeth are scratched. You need to wash it with tea."

Several people in Shanxi looked at each other in blank dismay, their teeth gritted from the drink?What is Duke Liang talking about?
Li Tingyu and Li Dingguo slowly moved their seats apart.

Wang Huan put down his cup, the table shook with a "bang", his face changed, and his face became terribly gloomy in an instant, a chilling aura erupted from every pore, and the smiling arhat was replaced by a murderous and decisive one. King Kong.

"From the beginning of the 46th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty established regulations. Later Jin refused to obey Wang Hua, betrayed the imperial court, and became an open enemy of our Ming Dynasty. However, all officials of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to communicate with him, transport goods, or communicate with each other by marriage. We will cut through foreign enemies!" Wang Huan roared, like a raging lion: "But Jin's people are ugly, either openly or secretly, and they forget their roots in pursuit of profit, and transport our Ming Dynasty's medicinal materials and grains to the outside of the pass through the Great Wall Pass in exchange for huge profits, even There are heinous acts of smuggling military ironware and gunpowder craftsmen. Liaodong soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the front, regardless of life and death to protect their families and the country, but they never imagined that the Hulu who killed them would eat the food given by Ming Dynasty. , used the armor of the Ming Dynasty, and even the swords that pierced their bodies were all produced by the Ming Dynasty!"

Everyone at the table was stunned by his sudden attack, either terrified, panicked, or lost in astonishment, and no one made a sound for a while.

Wang Huan's voice was filled with sorrow and anger, "The people in Jin are ugly, I just want to ask, have you ever thought that every penny you earn is actually snatched by the Tartars from the people in the official warehouses of Liaodong?" What? Every bribe you received was the blood and sweat of Daming scavenged by the Tartars? Are you fucking comfortable with the money? Are you not afraid of retribution?"

The Jiang brothers suddenly changed their colors and stood up abruptly. Wang Huan didn't wait for them to do anything. With a flick of his hands, he swept the dishes on the table with a clatter, pushed the two burdens to the middle, and shouted: "This Inside are the account books taken from the Fan family and the Wang family. The contents in it can be described as wonderful, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain! On that day and month, how much was sent out and how much was returned, remember clearly, two Patriarchs, can you please What a good accountant, without them, I still don't know how much black money you have earned!"

The two Shanxi merchants stared straight at the bag. The bag was not packed tightly. It could be seen that the inside was indeed full of layers of books. The two lost their voices: "Impossible! These things are hidden in the secret room Here, no one else can get in, you, you, why are you..."

As soon as the words were out of their mouths, the two felt that something was wrong, so they quickly shut up. Wang Huan stepped on the chair and said with a sneer, "How did you get here? You are so greedy, will the people below have good products? Will it be for you?" Risk your life to keep a secret?"

The two Shanxi merchants were sweating profusely, with trembling hands and feet, pointing at Wang Huan, stammering with trembling lips: "You, you, you slander! No, it's not my, our family's, my family's..."

Wang Huan smiled coldly: "It's up to you to talk about it!" He waved his hand and said again: "Jiang Zongbing, where do you want to go?"

Li Tingyu and Li Dingguo had already taken off their crossbows, cocked their arrows, and aimed them at the Jiang brothers standing behind the table.

From the moment Wang Huan got angry, Jiang Guan sensed that something was wrong, and began to move towards the door. Seeing that the situation was wrong at this moment, he immediately picked up a chair to block in front of him, and yelled, "Come on, come on!"

There was no sound outside the door, as if Jiang Guan was shouting into the air.

Li Tingyu released the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time at this moment, and said with a smile: "What is it called? Your people have been dealt with long ago. The whole restaurant is filled with soldiers of the Duke of Liang. Who are you calling? "

Jiang Xuan was a mighty general, and he shouted angrily, "Wang Huan, you have made up your mind! If you want to touch our brothers, Shanxi will never be peaceful! The land of Jin is..."

"Is it from your Jiang family?" Wang Huan interrupted him and waved his hand: "If I touch you, Shanxi will be in chaos and rebellion will be everywhere, right?"

He sneered and said, "I can take down Dorgon, but I'm afraid that your Jiang family will fail?"

"Putong!" "Putong!" Two times, the two Shanxi merchants had never seen such a scene, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Li Dingguo pointed his crossbow at the Jiang brothers and spat at the two Shanxi merchants.

Wang Huan slowly put his foot down on the chair, took a step forward, looked at Jiang Yu who was holding the chair, and asked with a blank expression: "Jiang Zongbing, I think you have made great contributions to defending Datong, and I don't want to take you Life, where are you going?"

Jiang Yu glanced at the crossbow, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, he threw away the chair in his hand, kicked a Shanxi merchant standing in front of him aside, stood face to face with Wang Huan, gritted his teeth, and said in hatred : "Duke, what's the benefit of doing this?"

"Of course there are benefits." Wang Huan stared into his eyes and said calmly: "I don't want someone to stab me in the back when I'm fighting the Tatars head on, just like you did before."

"But now I have broken with the Tartars!" Jiang Guan roared: "I betrayed the Qing court and killed the bannermen, and the Tartars hate me to the bone! How can they still trust me?"

Wang Huan waved his hand and said, "What about Li Zicheng? King Chuang didn't give you a penny, and Emperor Chongzhen treated you well. You also betrayed Daming and demoted Li Zicheng."

Taking a breath, Wang Huan seemed to squeeze out a sentence word by word: "Jiang Yu, you are a mercenary villain in your bones. You have no righteousness and shame in your heart. Whoever is beneficial to you, you will follow whoever is good for you." , you are more shameless than a bandit, more despicable than a prostitute, what you have done, you are a fucking bitch!"
