Of course Patriarch Yan is not the only one who cares about horse thieves, Fang Tongzhi, and the patriarchs of the other two families are also concerned about the situation of horse thieves outside, as well as the few caravans that just left.
Like Patriarch Yan, they knew Fang Tongzhi's temperament very well. Now that Gu Zhao's two workshops are booming, it is impossible for Fang Tongzhi to stand still, and the horse thief is the biggest hole in his hand.
Fang Tong knew that he had a plan in mind, and he didn't think it would be possible at all, so he had a good night's sleep. After getting up the next morning, he was waited on by his servants to wash up, and finished his breakfast slowly. Then he called the housekeeper who had been waiting outside, and asked : "How? Is there any news coming back?"
According to Fang Tongzhi's prediction, he should have taken action last night. He meant that he didn't have to go too far, so as to deal the heaviest blow to those caravans, and tell them that even if that kid Gu Zhao had the best things in his hands, this Yaochang Mansion is not a place where they can come and go as they please, it is still up to him to decide here.
I believe that the kid surnamed Gu will turn pale with shock when the news comes back. I really want to appreciate the kid's face-changing appearance and fight with him. The kid is still tender.
"Master, there is no news yet."
"How to do it? Keep an eye on it, and let someone tell Xiong, don't raise your appetite too much." Fang Tong knew displeased.
"Yes, master, I'm going to remind you now."
The housekeeper sent someone out to urge news, while Fang Tongzhi stayed in the study either reading or painting, looking like an ordinary literati.
Around noon, a piece of news was sent to Gu Zhao first, and it was delivered by the garrison at a fast pace. Gu Zhao's information was indeed accurate. When the caravan camped overnight, they were suddenly attacked by horse thieves. If there were no troops in charge of them The entire caravan will be taken away by those horse thieves, but now the result is reversed. Of the dozens of horse thieves who appeared, some were killed on the spot, some were captured, and a small number of others fled hastily. The army did not continue Pursue, because General Ji's mission to them is to be responsible for the safety of the caravan.
This news made Gu Zhao smile, and at the same time, he sent the good news to other caravans who were waiting, and those merchants all exclaimed.
"Meet a horse thief again? Dozens of horse thieves? Good guy!"
"I didn't listen to the news sent by Mr. Gu. Those horse thieves were either killed and arrested or fled. Mr. Gu said that this is the result of the local garrison he invited to escort the caravan."
"Master Gu asked the garrison to escort our caravan? Is this true or not?"
"Master Gu's ability is too great, are those troops willing to escort us?"
At this time, someone came in from the outside and reminded everyone with a light cough: "Whether this is true or not, it will be clear in a while, but since Mr. Gu dared to boast about such a sea before, it must be true, otherwise no one would dare Guaranteed to solve the trouble of the horse thief."
"I hope it's true too!"
The steward of the Fangfu couldn't get in touch with the person he was looking for to get any news, but in the afternoon, he came to look for Fang Tongzhi with a look of horror on his face: "Master is not well, the young nephew sent someone from the barracks to send a message .”
Fang Tongzhi put down the pen in his hand, frowned and asked, "Is it Zhuoer's letter? What did he say? Just call people in, I'll hear what they said."
"Yes, sir." The butler quickly called him in.
It was an unremarkable man who came in, and he immediately repeated Fang Zhuo's confession truthfully to Fang Tongzhi. Fang Tongzhi looked calm at first, and picked up a teacup to drink tea. Halfway through, the cup slipped from his hand It slipped and shattered at his feet.
"You said that General Ji ordered his soldiers to protect those caravans? Impossible! How could General Ji issue such an order! Could it be that Zhuo Er made a mistake?" Fang Tongzhi changed his face for the first time, and his voice became a little Sharp, I can't believe the news is true.
"My lord, this matter is true. Now half of the people in the barracks have gone out. Although Lord Qianhu was not able to participate in this operation, he learned the details from others. I heard that a group of horse thieves were robbed last night. A lot of them were captured alive, Lord Qianhu asked the little one to come and report immediately."
Fang Tongzhi's face immediately turned red. This matter was beyond his expectation. Why did the reckless man surnamed Ji get involved in this matter? It was because the kid surnamed Gu met the man surnamed Ji when he didn't know. Have you met and reached an agreement?Why would the person surnamed Ji be willing to be driven by Gu Zhao?What good does it do him?
Fang Tongzhi was very ambitious. He selected a promising talent from among his nephews and nephews, and relied on connections and money to get him into the army, and gradually helped him to the current position of a thousand households. He hoped that one day On the other hand, this army will completely fall into the hands of the Fang family. At that time, the Fang family will be able to fear nothing, and it is not impossible to enclose land and become king one day.
Everything went very smoothly, except that a new magistrate arrived in Yaochang's mansion who was not what he expected. He thought it was a small character who could be manipulated, but unexpectedly he saw it wrong. Those officials were difficult to deal with.
"Damn it, isn't there anyone in the barracks who objected to this?" Fang Tongzhi couldn't think of any way to stop this for a while.
"This... I saw that several generals were very happy to go out to carry out this mission, and I haven't heard any objections for the time being."
"Not for the time being, doesn't mean there hasn't been all the time, tell Zhuo Er, get more people to protest, that reckless man is really confused, he listened to Gu Zhao, a kid, doing something wrong." Fang Tongzhi said annoyed.
"Yes, my lord, I will tell Lord Qianhu when I go back."
Fang Tongzhi then ordered the housekeeper to fetch some banknotes for him to take back to Fang Zhuo. If he wanted to do things without money, he would not be able to. The reason why Fang Zhuo was able to get to this point was thanks to his money.
After the person left, Fang Tongzhi was no longer in the mood to read and paint. After walking around the study for a few times, he ordered the housekeeper to call the heads of the other three families over to discuss important matters.
Patriarch Yan was a little puzzled as to why he would ask them to go over to discuss matters. Although he was dissatisfied with Fang Tongzhi's yelling at them, he didn't show anything on his face. He went to Fang's mansion as usual. The other two Patriarchs also asked about it, and they knew what was going on, but the other two didn't know very well, they just thought Fang Tongzhi called them here to discuss how to take down the two workshops, they are very jealous now, maybe Mr. Fang, it will be realized soon here.
Patriarch Yan slandered a few words in his heart, these two people really have a whimsical idea, and Fang called them here in such a hurry, it seemed that something urgent happened.
He was brought into the study by the steward, and sure enough, Fang Tongzhi's first sentence confirmed Yan's conjecture. Fang Tongzhi said bluntly: "The surname Gu cooperates with General Ji in the garrison, and asks the army to send people to protect the caravan along the road. .”
"What? How is this possible?"
The three of them almost spoke in unison, including Patriarch Yan. They were too shocked, and there was no need to hide it, because they were really surprised, something completely unexpected.
Fang Tongzhi said with a serious face, "Zhuo'er sent a letter back from the barracks. It should be true. A group of horse thieves appeared last night and wanted to rob the caravan from Yaochang Mansion, but their actions were not good, and the horse thieves failed."
The jaws of the three of them were about to drop when they heard it. It turned out to be true. Patriarch Yan was shocked. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he went to Gu Zhao's place last night. , At this time, his respect for Gu Zhao in his heart has risen to a higher level. Before, everyone obviously underestimated him because of his age and appearance.
Seeing the irrepressible anger on Fang Tongzhi's face again, Patriarch Yan gloated in his heart. When the army completely wiped out the horse thief, the cancer that is also Fang Tongzhi's biggest reliance, then the surname Fang could still be complacent. Can you get up?
At this time, he was really glad that he made the most correct decision in time, and didn't follow the path of the surname Fang to the dark.
The mood of the other two was not as good as Patriarch Yan's, they were as anxious as Fang Tongzhi.
The Zuo Patriarch was the closest to Fang Tongzhi. One of his daughters was Fang Tongzhi's concubine, and another daughter was married to Fang Tongzhi's concubine, so he could be regarded as his son and daughter's relatives, so he knew the most secrets: "Then what should I do? Is it really at the behest of the kid surnamed Gu? How can he command the army as a civil servant?"
It’s okay if you don’t say this, but Fang Tongzhi’s face turns black when you say it, yes, how can a civil servant command a military officer? It’s simply impossible. How can Gu Zhao be able to do something that other Fang Tongzhi couldn’t do? ?Or is Ji's brain broken?Are you not afraid that someone will sue them in the Golden Temple?
The head of the Hao family also has a daughter in the backyard of the Fang family, but her status is lower than that of the daughter of the Zuo family, but at this moment, it is also what the emergency room is anxious about: "First of all, we need to determine what General Ji means, once or twice accidents, it will continue to be like this, and at the same time, we can mobilize people to file a complaint with the higher authorities."
Patriarch Yan also offered advice in a hurry. Of course, it sounded the same as what Patriarch Zuo Hao said. This matter was beyond their ability. Their hands could not reach into the garrison like Fang Tongzhi. Well, right now is not the time to break up with Fang Tongzhi, and he can still inform Mr. Gu in time.
Fang Tongzhi heard that they were talking too much, and none of them could come up with a really effective solution. The key was that he didn't know how the surnamed Ji and the surnamed Gu got together. If the emperor agreed, all the methods they said It's useless, and this is what he is most worried about, is he underestimating Gu Zhao's origin?
"Shut up!" Fang Tongzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and then opened his eyes to look at the three idiots, "All of you should find a way to find out what the origin of Gu is, did we underestimate him before? No matter what method you use, dig it out for me. And the guy surnamed Gu should also change his strategy, we can no longer stand by and watch him, and if we don't pull him into our own boat, just..."
Fang Tongzhi made a stern gesture, and Patriarch Yan's heart trembled when he saw it. No one could compare to Fang's surname in ruthlessness, otherwise he would not be the leader now.
The two patriarchs of Zuo Hao are not vegetarians either. Instead of waiting until the surnamed Gu can really threaten them, it is better to find a way to get rid of him first, and then push everything to the horse thief. Who can know the truth?
"Okay, it's up to your lord!"
Like Patriarch Yan, they knew Fang Tongzhi's temperament very well. Now that Gu Zhao's two workshops are booming, it is impossible for Fang Tongzhi to stand still, and the horse thief is the biggest hole in his hand.
Fang Tong knew that he had a plan in mind, and he didn't think it would be possible at all, so he had a good night's sleep.
