Take the space to break into the red building

After putting the food in my mouth, I feel that the whole person has been conquered. It really deserves to be a good thing from Shenjing City, and I really can't find it in Jiangnan. .

For ordinary people, eating is just for living, but for these big salt merchants, eating is definitely not just for living.

Enjoyment is the greatest essence of eating, and now they are enjoying it.

After some enjoyment, the salt merchants finally started to talk about the business, and their business was about the salt patrol envoy.

Qiu Chen, the head of the Qiu family, one of the eight great salt merchants, put down his chopsticks and said, "Everyone, Lin Ruhai is dying."

"For the time being, it's a good thing for us, but we can't take it lightly. You must know that the emperor has been staring at the salt tax."

Qiao Yan, the Patriarch of the Qiao family on the other side, nodded after hearing this and said, "That's right, I really can't relax. Someone in my family sent me a message from the court."

"Although we have fed many important officials of the imperial court with money, what if the emperor keeps watching us closely?"

"Although the Ministry of Household Affairs has always opposed the tax increase on salt merchants, and the princes in the court also love us very much, but the emperor can't help but have ideas."

"Right now, Lin Ruhai is about to die, but if another one is sent who is as reckless as Lin Ruhai, or even worse than Lin Ruhai, then it will be troublesome."

As soon as these words came out, it really aroused the approval of the salt merchants, and they all nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chun said, "Brother Qiu and Brother Qiao are right. Although it seems safe now, we must not take it lightly."

"In my opinion, we should donate some more money to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then communicate our thoughts to several people in the court, so that we can live better."

"That's right. Brother Jiang's words won my heart. Instead of letting the emperor choose, it's better for us to choose ourselves."

"At least the people who come up with it will be our own people, and it's safer to do things like this."

Jiang Chun looked at Huang Guan and raised the wine glass in his hand.

The person who spoke was the person sitting next to Jiang Chun, Huang Guan, who had a close relationship with Jiang Chun's family.

The Jiang family and the Huang family were already related by marriage, and they were also connected among the eight major salt merchants.

Although the remaining ones are also one of the eight major salt merchants, they are much weaker than the four mentioned above.

It is said that the eight major salt merchants are actually pulled to make up the number, and the four Jianghuang and Qiuqiao families really play a decisive role.

The other Hou, Wang, Cheng and Bao families are actually only obedient.

In fact, the four families didn't want to come, but they had no choice. What they ate was the salt merchant's meal. If they didn't fit in with the group, they would offend other people, so they couldn't come.

But coming here, it seems that it is not good not to speak. Huang Guan looked at Hou Cheng, the head of the Hou family, and said, "Brother Hou, why are you absent-minded? But what's on your mind?"

It looks like he is caring, but in fact he is guarding others. This Hou Cheng has a problem, and he is distracted at this time. Are you thinking of reporting them?

Sure enough, several other people looked at Hou Cheng, even the Wang family, the Cheng family and the Bao family who were supposed to form a group were the same.

Hou Cheng quickly explained: "No, no, I'm just a little worried. You may not know that Lin Ruhai's closed disciple is a very powerful guy."

"Everyone knows that my Jiangnan Hou family is a branch. It is said to be a salt merchant, but it is actually used to make money for the main family in Shenjing City."

"Recently, a lot of things have happened to the master's house, and my Jiangnan branch has been evacuated. Now I can't even pass the year."

Hou Cheng spoke like weeping, but Jiang Chun listened and said disdainfully: "Okay, we all know that your family's scriptures are difficult to read, but what does this have to do with Lin Ruhai?"

Seeing that Jiang Chun was dissatisfied, Hou Cheng stopped crying and said instead, "Everyone doesn't know that the disaster of the master's family in Shenjing City is actually related to this disciple of Lin Ruhai."

"That man's name is Yang Guang. It is said that his identity is a mystery. All he knows is that he has a big backer behind him. He has done a great job in the city of Shenjing. Not only that, but even the prince was kicked out of his house and occupied the prince's mansion. "

"The most important thing is that this person is cruel and merciless. The Patriarch of my master family offended this person and was forced to kill him."

"There is a good family to help you get ahead, but in the end, a well-behaved family of the state duke abruptly ruined the family, but for others, it is so happy to be promoted to a noble."

"I didn't expect him to arrive in Jiangnan, but I was a little worried."

Seeing what Hou Cheng said was terrible, the other families also became a little worried. After all, they came from Shenjing City, so it's hard to deal with.

Jiang Chun said confidently, "What am I talking about? So that's the case. Although this person has some skills in Shenjing City, this is Jiangnan, everyone."

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. When we get here, if it's a dragon, we have to coil up, and if it's a tiger, we have to lie down. We are the masters here. How can we be taken away by others?"

Chapter 125 Mission Impossible?

After Jiang Chun said this, some people agreed, such as Huang Guan.

There are those who shake their heads secretly, such as Hou Cheng, everyone has their own opinions, and differences are inevitable.

It's just that they didn't dare to say it out. As for Jiang Chun's plan to mess with Yang Guang, it was pure nonsense in the eyes of people like Hou Cheng.

He is a dragon crossing the river, and Lin Ruhai left after he died, so why bother with extra details.

But this can't be said, Jiang Chun's temperament is like that, the more he is not allowed to do it, the more he will work hard.

That is, in Yangzhou, that is, his family is powerful enough, otherwise this character would have been beaten to death long ago.

Several people discussed it, but there was no result. They just confirmed one thing. Before Lin Ruhai died, they would not do anything.

After the new salt patrol envoy arrives, they will come out to win them over. If they are as serious as Lin Ruhai or worse, then they will kill him.

That's what happened to Lin Ruhai back then. At the beginning, he was scruples about this and that, but in the end, Lin Ruhai gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou.

Although Lin Ruhai lost his relatives with the medication in the end, they still lost what should be lost.

If there is a new Salt Patrol Envoy, they will not give him such a chance, either subdue him to be their watchdog, or kill him as an example.

Hou Cheng returned to his home in a daze. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes that were originally intoxicated suddenly became clear.

Obviously he was pretending to be drunk. After tidying up at home, Hou Cheng changed his clothes and went out through the back door.

Hou Cheng stopped at the entrance of a shop that was being renovated. After entering, the guy who was decorating the shop seemed to recognize him, so he simply nodded and walked out.

Hou Cheng walked into the backyard of the store, which was a huge warehouse.

"Come here at this time, what's the matter?" A man walked out of the warehouse, looked at Hou Cheng and said.

"Brother Heihu, I have to come. Something is wrong. Then Jiang Chun will deal with your master. I am afraid that something will go wrong, so I came here to report it."

The one who came out was none other than Luo Heihu who came out from Shenjing City to run a caravan.

Hou Cheng said with some panic, it could be seen that he was a little afraid of Luo Heihu.

Hou Cheng spoke eagerly, but Luo Heihu had a strange expression.

He's not worried about Yang Guang, he's worried about whether these salt merchants have lost their minds. It's not good to provoke them, to provoke this evil spirit?

Of course, this evil god is his master now, so these people want to deal with their masters?

Really, I don't know how to live or die.

Luo Heihu regained his composure, and said to Hou Cheng: "Don't worry, come on, I have freshly brewed tea here, let's talk slowly..."

Luo Heihu took Hou Cheng to his little room, but what the two talked about was unknown.

But when Hou Cheng came out from inside, he already had a smile on his face.

Luo Heihu sent him to the door, Hou Cheng smiled and bowed and said: "Send it here, you still have something to do, don't worry, I promise to handle it well, the agency thing you said will be fine, right?" .”

Before leaving, Hou Cheng was still thinking about the fine salt agent that Luo Heihu had promised.

That's right, what Luo Heihu showed Hou Cheng was the refined salt produced according to the method given by Yang Guang. After seeing this refined salt, Hou Cheng knew that the salt industry was about to cause waves.

Especially after Hou Cheng knew the output of this refined salt, he could even see the fate of several major salt merchants.

I was very glad that I took refuge in Luo Heihu because of fear, but I didn't expect that he had such an opportunity because of the wrong way.

Luo Heihu saw that Hou Cheng was still worried, so he said patiently: "Don't worry, the master likes the people who work hard to help him, and he is never stingy with rewards."

"You have to know that the research and development team behind the master is very powerful. Just look at the things in the supermarket in Shenjing City, but any leaks can make a family eat their mouths full of oil."

"The sooner you take refuge, the more benefits you will naturally enjoy, and you won't regret it."

Luo Heihu's comfort was very effective, and Hou Cheng left contentedly.

Now he even expects that other salt merchants will not be short-sighted to provoke Yang Guang, so that these salt merchants will be killed, and he, Hou Cheng, will become the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou of the new generation!

Although there is a master behind the scenes, who doesn't?

Even the current salt merchants, behind them are the endorsement platform of high officials from the court, otherwise how could it be so big.

After Hou Cheng left, a serious look appeared on Luo Heihu's face.

He is not worried about Yang Guang's safety, because that is meaningless, what he is worried about is the deployment of the caravan.

If these salt merchants really started to fight, it would definitely cause a battle.

The current situation in Yangzhou City is not good at all. There are tens of millions of refugees outside the city, and the city is dominated by big merchants such as salt merchants, cloth merchants, and grain merchants.

As for the officials, the officials in Yangzhou have already been well-fed by the merchants, and the relationship between the refugees and Yangzhou city is already very tense.

If it was him, he didn't want to take the responsibility for himself, and wanted to kill someone, the best way was to stir up the situation outside the city, and then kill the other party while taking advantage of the chaos.

If it was a nobleman from Shenjing who died in ordinary times, it would definitely have to be investigated, but if the casualties were caused by refugees attacking the town, then he could only consider himself unlucky.

Yang Guang will be fine, that's for sure, but what about the people around Yang Guang?

For example, for Lin Daiyu, who he personally escorted, Luo Heihu saw that his master was a lover.

"No, I still have to talk about it, otherwise something will happen and everyone will have a hard time." Luo Heihu said to himself, and then went out in the dark.

Yang Guang looked at Luo Heihu in surprise as he patrolled the gate of the back house of the imperial envoy's yamen.

"Is it so powerful? Have you found all of this?"

Luo Heihu laughed and said: "Master was joking. The whole Jiangnan knows that Master Lin, the Salt Patroller, is going to accept closed disciples so that he can take care of his daughter and inherit his family business. How could I not find it."

"I received a report that the salt merchants have gathered together. They seem to be planning something. If you want to attack the salt merchants, I think this plan may have been leaked."

Luo Heihu looked into the back house, and the meaning was obvious, some people inside were the eyeliner of salt merchants or other forces.

This is normal, Lin Ruhai knew from the very beginning that there were other influencers around him, including salt merchants, officials, and even the palace.

But he didn't care before, because he was righteous, and now he doesn't care, because he is dying!

There is only one thing he is preparing now, and that is to avenge his family and clear the way for his daughter.

He didn't want his daughter to suffer even after he died.

"Plan? Hehe, I never need to plan when doing things. By the way, since you are here, let me ask you, is there someone surnamed Qi who is in contact with you?"

Chapter 126 Chaos

Luo Heihu nodded and said: "There is indeed a person surnamed Qi who has been talking to me about business recently. They want our caravan to purchase their cloth from their family."

"In addition, I hope to reach a cooperation with our caravan to take care of our products, but I have never agreed to them."

"Recently, Yangzhou is not peaceful. The city is undercurrents because of Lin Yushi's illness, and there are mixed refugees and disaster victims living outside, but there is no one to manage them."

"It's about to turn into a civil uprising, so I've been thinking about whether to stay in Yangzhou."

After Luo Heihu finished speaking, he quietly waited for Yang Guang's order. He knew that Yang Guang would definitely not say meaningless words.

Since Qi Yang was mentioned, there must be his intentions.

"If you reject him, you will say that you will not cooperate with dishonest people." Yang Guang said directly after hearing this.

Luo Heihu nodded and said, "Yes, do you need to teach them a lesson?"

Luo Heihu felt that since he said that, there must be something in the Qi family that offended this master.

It happens to be good for Liwei.

But Yang Guang shook his head and said: "No need, we will settle this matter later, let's solve the problem of salt merchants first, the banquet for my apprenticeship is two days later, you should make preparations in these two days, I need some people to guard the outside by then, But don't be run away."

Luo Heihu came to a sudden realization that this teacher apprentice banquet was also part of the plan.

That's right, with the strength of my own master, as long as these people get together, it's basically a catch.

As for bringing people with him, on the surface it looks like he is going to help, but in fact it is just to beat people up and prevent the people inside from running out.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Heihu said: "Master, is this going to catch them all?"

Yang Guang looked at Luo Heihu and said, "Why, do you have any acquaintances?"

Luo Heihu nodded and said, "There is indeed a person who came closer, that is, the tipper I told you about earlier."

"Here I want to apologize to you. Without your permission, I promised him that I would give him some business."

Yang Guang didn't care about these things, but he was very satisfied with Luo Heihu's ability to admit his mistakes on his own initiative.

I saw Yang Guang said with some relief: "The general will not accept the fate of the foreign king. If you can seize the opportunity, you will seize it. There is nothing wrong with it. I am not that kind of pedantic person. Work hard. I am optimistic about you."

Yang Guang left, but Luo Heihu didn't pay special attention to Yang Guang's words about the fate of the general.
