Behind him stood several masters in sackcloth.

This person is He Ao, Cangshan Flying Eagle of the Cao Gang.

The Cao Gang has expanded rapidly in the past ten years, not only in terms of territory, but also absorbed many masters of the rivers and lakes, the most famous of which are Cangshan Flying Eagle and the Three Monsters of Xishan.

Although the cultivation base of these few people failed to enter the tiger list, they are also well-known masters in the Jianghu.

"Brother He, you're really joking."

Su Ze let out a long sigh, and said: "My Su family has been turned into a ravine in recent years, and the end of the road is impoverished, and the scenery of the past has long since disappeared."

Compared with the other three great families, the Su family's development is indeed extremely slow. If it weren't for the shadow of their ancestors, they might have been squeezed out of the ranks of the four great families long ago.

This has been the case since ancient times, whether it is a master or an aristocratic family, they all rise and fall alternately.

He Ao smiled lightly, took a sip from his teacup, and said: "Compared to the Cao family and the Mu family, the Su family is indeed much slower, now there is a chance to give Brother Su a clear path, we will understand People don't talk dark words, so I wonder if Brother Su is interested in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?"

Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?

Everyone in the world knows that Liu Qingshan is now in charge of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. As long as he enters the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, it is tantamount to taking refuge in the Cao Gang. Gang's chariot.

For ordinary merchants, this is simply a good thing that can be met but not sought after.

Su Ze's face was as calm as water, and he said: "My Su family doesn't make a lot of money, only some cloth, tobacco and other businesses. I'm afraid I joined the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce..."

There is deep conflict in his heart to seek refuge in the Cao Gang.

Back then, the Patriarch of the Su family died in the hands of Tie Yunshan. Just when the Su family was about to retaliate and kill Tie Yunshan, Liu Qingshan suddenly took action to save Tie Yunshan. The Su family had to give up for the sake of the overall situation.

After all, the prestige of the Cao Gang has already begun to emerge, and it is not something the Su family can compete with.

But because of this, the relationship between the Su family and the Cao Gang was in dire straits, and they had no contact with each other for several years.

The visit of Cangshan Flying Eagle is obviously the Cao Gang's plan to break the ice.

Before he joined the Cao Gang, Cangshan Feiying He Ao and Su Ze had a slight friendship at the Tianlan Festival, so the Cao Gang sent him here today.

Deep in Su Ze's heart, there was a trace of resistance. Liu Qingshan was an ambitious character, and it was clear whether he would be good or bad if he jumped on this big ship.

He Ao smiled faintly, "As long as Brother Su says a word, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will definitely have a place for the Su family."

"This matter, let me think about it."

Su Ze was silent for a while before speaking.

Seeing what Su Ze said, He Ao put down the teacup in his hand, and lightly tapped his fingers on the table, "There is not only Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce behind our Cao Gang, the Su family can also cooperate with other chambers of commerce in various places in the future to strengthen our own strength. , this is a rare opportunity.”

Su Ze smiled wryly, "Brother He, I know your kindness, but the Su family has a big business, and this matter needs to be considered again."

When He Ao heard Su Ze's words, he sighed slightly in his heart, but he stood up calmly, "Since that's the case, then brother Su should think about it. If He still has something important to do, he will leave first."

Su Ze also got up and said, "Are you leaving now? I've already prepared the banquet. You and I might as well have a few drinks."

"No, the affairs in the gang are complicated, and I need to deal with them."

He Ao clasped his fists, then turned and walked out of the hall.

After finishing speaking, Su Ze looked at He Ao's leaving back, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Su Rui snorted beside him, and said: "Father, what He Ao said just now is just a direct rejection. What good cooperation do we have with Cao Gang?"

Because there is an enmity between Tieyunshan's Cao Gang and Su's family, and the Cao's family has joined the Cao's family. You must know that the Cao family and the Su's family have similar livelihoods, but they are hostile relations, which makes the grievances between the two parties even deeper. up.

And Su Rui has a kind of hatred for the Cao Gang in his heart, how could he be willing to cooperate with the Cao Gang.

Su Ze didn't answer Su Rui's words, but asked: "You said that someone from the Mu family came to Yuzhou City in the morning, and then went to the Cao family?"

Of the four great families in Jiangnan Road, the Su family and the Cao family are in Yuzhou City, while the other two big families are in Linjiang City and Pingcheng.

Although Su Rui was puzzled, he replied honestly: "Yes, Mu Liangyin from the Mu family has come, and he also brought several large boxes of belongings, which are said to be Na Cai."

"The Mu family and the Cao family are going to marry...it's broken!"

Su Ze frowned suddenly, and said, "Hurry up, write a letter to your second uncle."

"Father, what's wrong?"

Seeing Su Ze's expression, Su Rui was a little puzzled.

Su Rui's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, "The Cao Gang is going to attack my Su family. The Cangshan Flying Eagle came just now to show courtesy before serving. If my Su family is willing to fall to the Cao Gang, there may be a chance, but Just now I rejected He Ao, now if he returns to his life..."

Su Ze had a look of disbelief, "The people of the Cao Gang are so courageous? Dare to disregard the imperial court's law?"

"What do you know!?"

Su Rui said coldly: "Liu Qingshan and Chu Nanying are the same person behind the scenes, and they have colluded with each other. If there is any crime at that time, my Su family will be doomed."

The gentry clan came into the world, every pore is dripping with blood and dirty things, wealth is a process of accumulation, and the process of accumulation requires plundering, selfishness, stinginess, attraction, temptation, greed... It is no exaggeration to say that every family in the world, every high-ranking person stepped on countless corpses.

No clan is clean, there are blood and corpses under their feet.

The Su family is no exception.

As long as you want to check, you can definitely find these dirty things.

"I see."

Su Ze also felt a chill in his heart, and quickly ran out of the hall.

..........

Jishi Hall, the backyard.

The snow-white walls, jet-black tiles, and the faint sunlight poured down, spreading a layer of soft brilliance.

"Aww! Woo!"

Little Heizai turned the dog's head, and then bounced around in the utility room, as if searching for some treasure.

Then he stretched his hind legs, ready to be clamped on the wooden post, and started to pee.

Seeing this, Tan Yun quickly kicked over.

"Aww... Aww."

Little Heizai rolled two or three times, then lay down on the ground and stared at Tan Yun with wide eyes, wagging his tail as a gesture of goodwill.

Zhao Qingmei's face was as calm as water, and she slowly opened the book called diary.

When Tan Yun saw this, his heart was itchy as if he had been scratched by a cat.

She was also curious about what the diary was.

"Written by your husband?"

Zhao Qingmei glanced at the font above, it was definitely written by An Jing.

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the seventh day of April, it was sunny.

Bored in my heart, I have a lot of worries, no one can talk about it, I can only write a diary for comfort...By the way, I will record the history of my struggle to get rich, I hope I can encourage each other in the future!

Today is another day of collecting herbs in the mountains. After collecting all the herbs for a day, I sold all the herbs to Yaman Zhang. He only gave me [-] yuan. I know that he is bullying me when I was young.

I worked hard for half a year, worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and saved only three taels of silver, but Yaren Zhang married two concubines and gave birth to four fat boys.

I know that all I'm doing now is working for Yaren Zhang.

On a lonely night, I can't help but ask myself, are you tired from working?Tired, because comfort is reserved for those who can listen to music.

I'm sorry, I'm embarrassing to the majority... (crossed out here), after all, I'm just an ordinary boy picking herbs.

Lying on the couch, I thought about it for a long time. It is impossible for me to work part-time in Anjing. It is impossible to work for others in my life. In such a good time, I will fight and become a master... ...Forget it, let's eat first. "

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the ninth day of April, the sun turned to cloudy.

Finally, I made up my mind. I want to say no to Yaman Zhang. If I don’t sell the collected herbs to him and save the middleman to make the difference, I think my life will be much easier, and the money can be saved. I can also marry a daughter-in-law earlier and spread my good seeds earlier.

When I told this to He Yaren Zhang, he seemed very angry and even threatened me with a whip in his hand. The face caused great trauma to my young heart. If it weren't for the three pockmarks and the two dogs beside me... I think I would definitely be whipped by the tooth man. In the end he He mercifully gave me one day and told me to go back and think about it carefully, otherwise I would have no good fruit to eat.

In fact, Yaman Zhang is very picky, not to mention good fruit, I have never eaten bad fruit.

After returning to Powahan Kiln, I thought about it over and over again, and finally made up my mind that I would not give him a part-time job.

Unexpectedly, there was a turning point the next day, Ya Ren Zhang was killed... I was very surprised when I heard the news at the time, and I was afraid and happy in my heart. What I was afraid of was who killed him Fang Zhang died, but the joy is that he will no longer be exploited by others. "

Seeing this, Zhao Qingmei's heart skipped a beat, and she bit her red lips lightly.

It turned out that after we parted, he had such a hard time.

Fortunately, this toothy man Zhang died, otherwise An Jing would not know what kind of suffering he would have suffered.

Seeing Zhao Qingmei frowning and stretching, Tan Yun felt extremely curious and felt like he was about to be driven crazy.

What is it that can make the leader's expression change so much.

Zhao Qingmei was completely immersed in it, and did not notice Tan Yun's expression beside her at all.

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on April [-]th, there was heavy rain.

Today's weather is terrible, it is clearly not a suitable day for collecting herbs, but I don't want to lie down at home.

I was thinking that there are too few people who work hard like me.

Coincidentally, when I was collecting herbs, I suddenly saw a dying old man under the heavy rain. His body was covered with mud, and he seemed to have fallen from the mountain.

Without hesitation, I directly helped the old man up.

Because I only have fifty cents in my purse, as long as I have no money, others will... (rectify and cross out).

There is only one reason why I saved the old man. The virtue of kindness and simplicity has penetrated into my blood. When I meet an old man who is lying on the ground, I must lend a helping hand, so I must save him.

Under my treatment, the old man gradually came to his senses. He seemed to want to repay me. At that time, I refused.

In the end, the old man forced me to accept his gratitude, so I could only reluctantly accept it.

At that time, I thought in my heart, even if he didn't repay me, I, An Jing, would save him.

After all, the old saying is good: peace of mind can produce wisdom, and good deeds can lead to blessings. "

"Xingping five years, April 28, sunny.

Since there is no middleman to earn the price difference, I found that my purse has become more and more bulging, and it seems that I can't spend it all. The biggest worry every day is that the money cannot be drawn. "

"In the fifth year of Xingping, May [-]th, Xiaoyu, today is Xiaoyu again, Er Gouzi said he would take me to the clock, I refused him decisively after hearing this, and scolded him badly, after all, I I want to leave all my savings to my future daughter-in-law."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, May 27, it was cloudy, nothing happened today... read and practice calligraphy."

"Xingping five years, May 28, nothing to do today, reading and practicing calligraphy."

"Xingping five years, May [-]th, nothing to do today, reading and practicing calligraphy."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the first day of June, I just realized now that I can't help spending money so much, it's because I was too naive before."

"The fifth year of Xingping, June [-]th, learning makes me happier, so I plan to open a medical clinic. I have already established a network of contacts, but I lack some money. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends, so I can borrow from them first. Let me talk about it, they are not in a hurry to ask me to pay it back, so what can I ask for if you have a friend?"

"The fifth year of Xingping, June 27, my friend is really generous. He lent me hundreds of taels of silver as soon as he made a move. The best place to open my clinic."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, the third day of the seventh month, nothing to do today, just study and practice calligraphy."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, the fifth day of the seventh month, I have nothing to do today, just study and practice calligraphy."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the ninth day of the seventh month, a new storyteller came to the nearby teahouse. The rivers and lakes he talked about are really fascinating. My blood is boiling. It would be great if I were a knight, but unfortunately I am just an ordinary man. An ordinary little doctor."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, July [-]th, I can't help but feel inspired by reading and practicing calligraphy today. I can't help but compose a poem impromptu. I stop and sit in the maple forest at night. Where does the jade man teach me to play the flute? It's really a good poem!"

"The fifth year of Xingping, July 24, Sanmazi came back from Goulan listening to the music today, and asked me a question, why did he feel that he had worked so hard, and why he was still bruised and bruised by the torture of life, I think seriously, you may Haven't met the landlady yet."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the third day of August, today I went to drive an ox cart to collect herbs. When I was reading a book, the ox cart ran over directly. A chicken in the yard next to me was directly run over by the ox cart. At that time, I Then I asked the child in the yard next to me, is this your chicken? The child glanced at it and said, "No, my chicken is not so flat. In desperation, I ate a whole chicken with tears in my eyes."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the ninth day of the eighth month, today, I became excited by listening to books, and found that the world is dark and treacherous, and the situation is changing. It is really dangerous. What a blessing to be an ordinary person."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, on the third day of September, time flies, time goes by, and seven or eight patients have been cured today. Looking at their satisfied appearance, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment. I never thought that they would repay me at night. I am very pleased."

"In the fifth year of Xingping, September [-]th, I want to get serious from today, so I decided not to write a diary anymore. From today onwards, I will stop writing."

"In the sixth year of Xingping, on the third day of January, today is as usual. It is really boring. There are always many things in my heart that I want to say to others, but I can't say them. Although I am still young, I believe that one day the iron needle will become a pestle."

"In the sixth year of Xingping, on the third day of February, some people came to make trouble again. I know they are from Bao'an Church. They came to make trouble a month ago, and I endured it. They came to make trouble the day before yesterday, and I also endured it. Today they came to make trouble. I brought two masters of the eighth rank. This time, I could only swallow my anger and let them insult and destroy me. After all, I have never studied martial arts, and I have no strength to restrain a chicken. They just want to smash it. It took my job and made me unable to live, but I didn't feel the need to do it."

"Xingping six years, March [-]th, it has been ten days since the last riot in the security hall, they have not come to make trouble for ten days, I am very strange, in the past they would come to make trouble every three to five times, but this time I didn’t come here for a while, so I couldn’t help but inquire about it out of curiosity, it turned out that the shopkeeper of the Baoantang died of eating arsenic by mistake, and today is a good day for burial.”

"In the sixth year of Xingping, on the fourth day of April, during my consultation today, I saw a young boy with red lips and white teeth. He looked really cute and cute. I really wanted to go up to him and hug his aunt."

"In the sixth year of Xingping, on the seventh day of April, one of Er Gouzi and San Mazi was going to Dongluoguan to pan for gold, and the other was going to Wangjinghai to learn art. After they left, no one supervised my reading and calligraphy. Work hard."

"In the sixth year of Xingping, the first day of May, I will stop writing from today. I want to be a decent person. After all, who cares...(cross out here)."
