It was noon in the sky, and Mi Yuhuaicai came in a hurry from somewhere else. He probably fell down on the way. The knees and hem of his long gown were in torn, not to mention stained with earthy color. The back was dripping with sweat, and his whole body was covered in sweat. Looking up and down, it looked like he was in a very miserable state. After all, he is a scholar. Although Mi Yuhuai is usually very particular about his clothes. Although his clothes are not luxurious, he always insists on being spotless and neat. Even the man on duty in the chief helm barely recognizes his current appearance. , just about to stop him, he realized that it was Mi Zongfeng who was coming, so he had to swallow his words.
Walking through the courtyard and across the covered bridge, we saw that the banquet had just dispersed. As we got closer to the side hall where guests were welcomed, Mi Yuhuai's expression became more solemn. There were two or three deep lines between his eyebrows, and he didn't care that he had just fallen off his horse. His knees hurt and he staggered toward the side hall.
Most of the horses in the caravan are saddleless and only equipped with halters and reins, which looks very strange. It turns out that the people in the caravan made their fortune among horse thieves. Although they are not necessarily unclean, most of them have extremely good riding skills. At the beginning, the leader of the horse gang was among the horse thieves. Seeing that the horse thieves and bandits all made money by burning, killing, and looting, he left for Fengyou County with only a few dozen people accompanying him. He gradually took advantage of the wind and gained momentum, leading to the current scene, so he joined the gang. Most people have excellent riding skills and do not need to wear a saddle. This habit continues to this day.
Mi Yuhuai's background was that he was just an ordinary scholar at first. How could he have such riding skills? It took him only two years to learn the ability to drive a horse. When he encountered a bareback horse, he suffered a lot. Now he is slightly lame. He ran into the side hall, but he didn't care about his legs.
"Mi's offering comes just by chance. There is plenty of food and wine. Why don't I accompany the offering and have two more drinks to relieve the two days of hard work." Li Wuji was quite curious when he saw Mi Yu entering the hall, but It happened that the drunkenness was welling up, and it was difficult to stand up to greet him. He reluctantly opened his drunken eyes and smiled at the frail man.
"Let me ask you, it's clearly just after noon, but the banquet has already dispersed. Who is the person that Captain Li is hosting?"
Mi Yuhuai took two steps and was in front of Li Wuji, her lips pursed into a thin line and her eyebrows raised.
Li Wuji didn't hide anything, he was just a little suspicious, but he didn't say it clearly. He drank too much in the group before, and now he can't keep his mind clear. He leaned on the edge of the table and said with a smile: "It's just a businessman from the county who came to give a gift. Originally, I just wanted to give some gifts." As a matter of etiquette, it just so happens that the leader, Zhang Honglou, is quite in line with my temperament. I would like to drink a few more drinks, and I hope you won’t be offended by the offer.”
Mi Yuhuai's face was livid, he pointed outside and said with a cold smile, "In the current world, children who have not yet entered the school know that they will go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. The amount of gold and silver in the school is so important. If it is not beneficial, But how can those merchants come and give you free money, Li Wuji?"
Li Wuji has always had an angry temper, but after drinking, his temperament turned into a kind one. If Mi Yuhuai's words had been put on ordinary days, 80% of them would have scolded him, but this time it was different. This rude man was shaking. He stood up, moved Mi Yuhuai to the upper seat, and said with a simple and honest smile, "Mi Yuhuai is sitting here. It's been bumpy all the way. I think you are tired. If you ask me, you literati shouldn't work too hard. You should just sit still and think." My master, why bother to learn those horse-driving skills? If I have free time in a few days, I will make some suggestions with the gang leader and add a two-horse carriage to Mi's offering, which can finally save some energy."
"When Zhang Honglou came here, he didn't discuss anything with me. He only said that he had a way to have both ends of the world. He sent the former shopkeepers of all the shops in the caravan to take care of the current sluggish situation of the shops in the county. If the profits become more and more profitable, Increase, only take half of it, and after a little calculation, it seems to be an excellent method, at least it is much better than the current business methods that no one in the gang knows about."

Li Wuji sat down on his own and started talking nonchalantly, completely unaware that the dusty scholar above him was turning greener.
"Doctor Li really think that the merchants in the county are suddenly willing to be friends with me and other members of the caravan, so he would not hesitate to do such a thankless business?" The scholar gritted his teeth, then slowly let go, and suppressed him forcefully. He was angry, but his face was even paler, and he took two or three deep breaths before speaking again, "I have a big grudge in my heart, and most of the methods used by the caravan to control the shop business came from me, although it does not violate the law. , but it is by no means pure and innocent. Eighty percent of the merchants in the county hate the caravan to the core. Now that they are here, and they clearly know that this move is to encourage the power of the caravan, they only take half of the profits. It can be said to be extremely generous. Leader Li might as well think about it. very."
Outside the side hall, five or six caravans were struggling to move the beauty tree with intertwined python teeth into the back warehouse. The tree was already extremely heavy, and now that it was being moved, the leaves around it were intertwined and shattered. There was a faint glow in it, as if there were hundreds of snakes and pythons twisting and intertwining, with their awns and teeth intertwined, grinding their teeth and sucking blood. It no longer had the appearance of wealth and treasure under the sun just now, but it made people feel cold all over.
"Since we have no purpose, we just want to make friends." Li Wuji shook his head. When he looked at the tooth tree again, he still felt uncomfortable. He could only wave his hands and shouted at those people, "Those people, don't go any further." After it has been transported from the treasury, this tree will be erected in the corner of the courtyard, well covered, and the two Japanese helmsmen will not let me see it again."
Several people didn't know why, but they still nodded in response, lifted up the jade tree wrapped with python teeth, turned its direction, and slowly walked towards the corner of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Mi Yuhuai also restrained his words, stroked the broken hair on his forehead that was wet with cold sweat, sighed and asked: "Fortunately, there is still room for change in everything. I will ask Captain Li, what happened to Zhang earlier?" Did Captain Li personally agree to Red Mansion's proposal?"
"Of course I didn't agree, I just gave him a quick reply and asked him to go back to his hometown and wait for the news." Li Wuji was not in the mood for drinking at this moment. He put down his cup and frowned and said to the scholar in front of him, "Mi Zongfeng was originally a stable person. He was like a landslide. I haven’t changed my face before, so why are such trivial matters so urgent when they fall on my ears today.”
After hearing this, Mi Yuhuai finally calmed down, his brows relaxed, and he replied with a wry smile, "I thought that the most dangerous thing in the world is honey mixed with poison, and seeing countless benefits, but in fact, if it is abrupt, I agree, the trouble in the future can be compared to destroying a gang and destroying a family; everything is carefully planned and thought about for me, but the killing move is actually like a snake spitting out a long message in the dark, suddenly poisoning a martial artist who has been trained for many years and has finally become successful in martial arts. It’s too late to regret it.”
"If you think about it carefully, if the position of shopkeeper in each shop falls into the hands of others, 80% of the overt and covert business among the caravans will be investigated clearly. You can't hide your eyes and let the shopkeeper do business. In this way, money will flow, and the government will Wouldn’t all the handles that have not been grasped for many years fall into the hands of the replacement shopkeepers? Ordinary people would look down upon people in the world, let alone the homes of wealthy businessmen.”
With every word he spoke, Li Wuji's expression became clearer, with only a few crosses, and no hint of drunkenness at all.
So the reckless man frowned and shouted to those people again, "Don't waste your efforts to throw this broken tree outside the hospital and sell it to others while taking advantage of the beautiful sky. It's such an eyesore."
