Shu Liang received the imperial edict, rectified the troops, and the tiger came out of the box.
Under his full integration, Dongchang has more than 300 available manpower.
He used these three hundred people as a skeleton and enriched them with flesh and blood. In less than a year, Dongchang became the emperor's capital.
But Shu Liang's ability is limited. He is more than enough to control 300 people. If he controls 3,000 or 5,000 people, his ability is slightly insufficient.
Moreover, this person is suitable for being a knife and an executor, but not for being a brain because his brain is not good enough.
Three hundred people were not enough to control the whole city and could not win many shops, so he simply activated all the fans who had never been reused and forced more than 1,400 people.
The richest ones were selected first. After Dongchang collected the protection tax, they knew exactly how many shops the merchants in the capital had.
Calculating profits from the shop floor and then calculating the merchant's property are all Dongchang's special skills.
Shu Liang focused on finding merchants with plenty of live money, and left the dead money from fixed assets to the officials in the court.
Bang!
He kicked open the door of Chen Ji Jewelry.
There were two burly men standing on the left and right sides of the shop door. Just as they were about to stop him, the two men shoved a knife into their throats. Their movements were skillful and swift. The two men died without being able to even scream.
"Shopkeeper Hu, it's already here and it's not closed yet?" Shu Liang strolled into the shop.
"See the factory owner!"
Shopkeeper Hu and Shu Liang were acquaintances, and they had a lot of protection, so when they saw Shu Liang, they bowed first.
Shu Liang ate melon seeds with a smile on his face.
"The boss asked me to order some goods. Although it's not closed, it's closed. What's the point of the factory boss's visit late at night?"
Shopkeeper Hu laughed along and ordered the boys to serve refreshments and wait on the Dongchang fans.
They don't care about calling him Dongchang fanzi, but they want to call him white-shoe captain. They should keep their attitude low and be respectful.
He was wondering why the bodyguard at the door didn't warn Shu Liang when he came in. The Shanxi bodyguard agency was so unreliable that he turned around and told his boss to fire them and recruit new bodyguards in the capital.
When Shu Liang saw the dazzling array of jewelry on the shelves, he knew he had come to the right place.
He picked up a pearl and looked at the candlelight: "Shopkeeper Hu, are all the things here? Is there anything left in the warehouse?"
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Hu didn't understand what he meant.
"I would like to ask you, do you still have the jewelry in this store in the warehouse?" Shu Liang put down the pearl and held the pearl in his hand to look at it.
At this time, his confidant Gong Hui reported in a low voice that all the escorts outside were dealt with.
Shu Liang nodded and stared at Shopkeeper Hu: "Huh?"
"The warehouse is gone."
"All taken!" Shu Liang waved his hand.
Shopkeeper Hu was horrified and said: "Mr. Factory, why are you doing this? Our store has paid a lot of money to protect you. The notice clearly states that if you pay the money, all these scandals will disappear. Why did Mr. Factory accept it?" My jewelry?”
"Why? Kneel down and let me pass on the Holy Spirit's instructions!"
Shu Liang snorted: "I heard that the merchants in Beijing are hoarding, driving up prices, crowding the market, and bullying good people. Therefore, all merchants in Beijing are detained and their business is suspended. Only after the three law departments have screened them one by one and are determined to be good merchants can they reopen their stores. Those who do business and refuse to listen to the holy edict will be executed! I admire this!"
Shopkeeper Hu was stunned. All merchants in Beijing have suspended their business? What's going on?
He had a good nose and vaguely guessed that it was related to the skyrocketing food prices.
"Shopkeeper Hu, how dare you disobey the Holy Order?" Shu Liang stared at him.
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
Shopkeeper Hu kowtowed and said, "But our store operates with integrity and is not guilty of price gouging. I am willing to obey the holy order, but please make it a convenience for the factory owner. We will stay in the store and wait for the store to reopen, okay?"
"Can."
Shu Liang waved his hand and asked someone to collect the jewelry.
Shopkeeper Hu rushed over and said, "Mr. Factory, please don't touch it. This is my boss's thing. It's..."
Sonorous!
Shu Liang took out his sword and put it on his neck: "What is it?"
Shopkeeper Hu shut up in horror.
"These are stolen goods! Dongchang will take away all the stolen goods. After screening by the Sanfa Department, if they are innocent, they will be returned to you. Do you understand?"
Shu Liang waved his hand to let people stop.
Shopkeeper Hu was so anxious that he cried. Dongchang took it away, will he return it? What a fool!
The original protection gift was caused by Zhang Renli and Wang Deyi. They were business gangs from other places and did not dare to disobey. They pinched their noses and accepted it. Who would have thought that Dongchang would convert the acquisition into robbery, and the situation became more and more violent.
Why did this unfortunate thing happen to the old man?
How should I explain this to my employer?
"Shopkeeper Hu, you and this governor are old friends. I will give you a chance."
After Fanzi put the jewelry into the bag, Shu Liang put away the knife and helped shopkeeper Hu up:
"I know that although you are the owner of Da Chenji, you are still a slave."
"The Chen family is the largest jeweler in the Longyou Merchant Gang, with seventeen shops in central Beijing. The governor suspects that Mr. Chen is working with grain merchants to drive up prices in Beijing, so the governor wants to arrest all the Chen family, one by one. Do not stay!"
"You are the son of the Chen family and know their family well."
"I will give you a chance to become a human being. As long as you hand over the stolen goods of the Chen family and the Chen family to my hands, I will tear up your slave status, recruit you to Dongchang, and make you wear a pointed hat and white clothes." Boots, do you want to be a captain in white boots?"
Sure enough, Dongchang came here just for the jewelry!
Bullshit stolen goods, the Longyou Gang is doing business as usual, and they don’t have much backing in Beijing, so how can they dare to show it off? How dare you team up with grain merchants to drive up prices in the city?
To put it bluntly, it’s Dongchang’s robbery.
However, the price offered by Shu Liang was very high. If he could get rid of his slave status, it would be a great thing for Fuze's descendants.
And if he disobeys, Shu Liang will definitely kill him.
"I am willing to die for the factory owner!"
Shopkeeper Hu pointed at a boy: "Please kill him, please! He is the family leader's spy. If you let him out, he will definitely tip off the family leader!"
"good!"
Shu Liang waved his hand, and Dongchang Fanzi slashed the boy to death.
"Shopkeeper Hu knows the situation, and I will never treat you and your family badly!"
Shopkeeper Hu was the best at following the wind and said quickly: "I am willing to lead the factory supervisor to inspect the Chen family's warehouse. I know that the Chen family has a secret room with a large amount of cash hidden in it!"
"What should I call myself?"
Shu Liang is very satisfied, this is all he wants!
"Sign up with Hu Changgui and go see the factory boss!"
Shopkeeper Hu knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty also knows about Xiao Chenji's warehouse. Your Majesty is willing to lead the way for the factory owner!"
He was willing to risk everything. He had already given his life to Shu Liang anyway, so he simply went all the way to the dark side and got an official position in Dongchang.
"sensible."
Shu Liang patted his old face: "You are right, the Longyou Merchant Gang is very good at handling jewelry. The governor likes jewelry the most, so it's okay to borrow it for a look. After you finish admiring it, it will naturally return to its original owner! Hu Changgui, you Is that right?"
"If the factory owner likes it, why return it?" Hu Changgui played the role of a slut to the fullest.
"Hahaha!"
Shu Liang laughed proudly and walked out of the shop.
The street was noisy, but a fast horse stopped, and a strong man wearing a round hat, a straight robe, and soap boots dismounted and knelt on the ground: "Report to the factory owner, sixteen shops. The confiscation has been completed! Everyone is locked up together, and I have sent two brothers to watch over it!"
"Peng Li, you did a good job!"
"I'll say it again, who dares to touch what I got today? Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"These things must be returned to others after the screening is completed!"
"Did you hear everything?"
Shu Liang's voice was stern, and then he softened his tone: "I will not treat the brothers unfairly. I will reward the brothers with 10% of what I received tonight."
"So, everyone will risk their lives for this governor!"
Hu Changgui's eyes lit up, no wonder Dongchang Fanzi worked so hard, it was beneficial.
If you really act according to the Holy Spirit's instructions, I'm afraid you will get a lot of money tonight.
Can he also get a share of the pie?
"Gong Hui, take the people and follow Hu Changgui!"
Shu Liang whispered a few words to Gong Hui, and then said to Hu Changgui: "Old Hu, from now on you will be under Gong Hui's command. If you do well this time, the governor will promote you to the rank of captain of the reconnaissance school."
"I am willing to die for the factory owner!"
Hu Changgui was also generous. He was over fifty years old. He kowtowed first to Shu Liang and then to Qianhu Gong Hui.
Shu Liang will go to the next restaurant in person, Xiao Chenji.
The Longyou Merchant Gang is the Chaoshan Merchant Gang. It has just emerged in recent years. It mainly engages in the jewelry business and book printing business. It is very prosperous in Beijing. There are three largest ones, Da Chen Ji, Xiao Chen Ji and Lin's Book Industry. .
The Lin family was mainly engaged in book printing and papermaking, and was not as wealthy as the Chen family, so Shu Liang simply handed it over to the officials in Beijing and let them drink the soup.
Shu Liang led Dongchang Fanzi on horseback, and Xiao Chen Ji and Chen Ji rode east and west.
The Governor's Office of the Chinese Army is responsible for the curfew, and the streets are in chaos. There must be people sneaking, smashing, and looting. There is no time to take care of it now. Let's wait for the autumn to settle the accounts.
On the way, he saw many noble families and their servants joining in the vandalism and looting.
"You dare to rob a pawnshop? Is this guy crazy?" Shu Liang frowned.
Pawnshops are different from the Longyou Gang. Those who can open pawnshops in Beijing are backed by powerful people in Beijing.
He didn't even look at these pawn shops, and even dared to collect items from the palace. Many treasures in the palace were sold to pawn shops by Shu Liang's hands.
"Hush!"
Shu Liang suddenly reined in his horse and stopped to look at the young man, feeling furious.
How many treasures from the palace have you collected? They all belong to the emperor, so it’s time to spit them out!
However, pawn shops cannot be robbed easily.
You have to find someone to carry the thunder.
His eyes flickered and fell on the head of a scout captain.
"Mengzhou, I will allocate you one hundred men. You go and plunder all the big pawnshops in Beijing!"
"Kill people directly without asking!"
"Do you dare to go?"
This Mengzhou was a ruthless man. He inherited the post of Gaizhou Guard from his father. He improperly guarded the guards and crossed the border every now and then to kill the Jurchens. He was so angry that the Jurchen tribes often looted Gaizhou, and everyone in Gaizhou couldn't laugh or cry.
The commander of Gaizhou simply dismissed Mengzhou from his post. At that time, the commander of Jinyiwei, Ma Shun, heard about Mengzhou and recruited him into Jinyiwei.
Unexpectedly, Mengzhou is a real thorn, he is brave, cruel, and murderous. He causes trouble every day in the capital. Even Ma Shun can't suppress him, so he just kicks him to Dongchang.
At that time, the East Factory had been abandoned, and it was idle when Mengzhou came.
After Shu Liang took over the leadership of Dongchang, he specially promoted the thorny bosses. Mengzhou, who was in his forties, ushered in the third spring of his career.
"May I ask the factory owner if he can kill people?"
When Meng Zhou smiled, the two scars on his face became hideous. It is said that they were left when he killed the Jurchens. He had more scars on his body. He was proud of his scars and would always brag about them when he went to Goulan Washe.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind."
Shu Liang released Mengzhou to let Mengzhou carry the thunder.
When the robbery is over tonight, the dignitaries in the capital will definitely go and cry to the emperor. If the emperor cannot withstand the pressure, he will definitely return what he robbed without moving, and push Meng Zhou out to take the blame; if he can withstand the pressure, he will Mengzhou has skyrocketed.
"Dare to go under the mark!"
Meng Zhou smiled evilly, like a hungry tiger coming out of its cage: "Brothers, follow me! Go kill people!"
Dongchang Fanzi is not a desperado, and no one is willing to follow him to seek death.
"Damn, it's not pleasant at all!"
Meng Zhou spat: "If you go with me, you can get an extra 10%, don't you dare! The factory owner agreed!"
Money moves people's hearts.
There are fans following Mengzhou one after another.
Shu Liang didn't care. He didn't include the pawn shop at all. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea and he would make whatever he took.
Besides, if you rob a pawn shop, not for money, but for revenge, and if you dare to touch the royal objects used by the emperor, you should all die!
Your Majesty is the master of the world and the most noble person in the world. Do you dare to touch the things used by his old man? If you touch it, you will die!
Mengzhou led seventy or eighty heroes who risked their lives for money.
"Dongchang is acting, everyone retreat!"
Mengzhou dismounted and rushed into a pawn shop.
The pawn shop has been ransacked, and seventy or eighty servants have already packed the items in the pawn shop into boxes. It is estimated that there are thirty or forty boxes.
A young man dressed as a nobleman was holding Tang Pozi in his hand and sitting upright on a chair with a contented expression.
The pawn shop owner, clerks, thugs, etc. all knelt on the ground.
Seeing Meng Zhou coming in, the noble prince sneered: "You bastard, get out of here and don't get in my eyes!"
Meng Zhou didn't bother to look at him and pointed at the servant carrying the box: "Put it down! Put it down for me!"
Those servants didn’t take Meng Zhou seriously at all.
Four servants move a box, which shows how heavy it is.
"Damn it!"
Meng Zhou smiled and patted a servant on the shoulder. The servant scolded him and suddenly his body twitched and blood flowed out of his stomach.
puff!
Mengzhou pulled out the blade, and his intestines flowed all over the floor along the knife.
With a bang, the box hit the ground.
Meng Zhou raised his knife and struck, and before a servant could recover, he cut off his head.
Then he struck the servant opposite him in the face with a backhand knife.
Blood splashed all over Mengzhou's face. Mengzhou grinned, his tongue stuck out, and the blood was sucked into his mouth. He clapped his mouth and laughed weirdly: "This is the life I want!"
As he said that, he struck out with another knife, directly knocking over the servant who was facing him.
He turned over and sat on the wooden box, laughing proudly and shouting happily.
Three of the four servants were killed in an instant.
The noble young master could no longer remain calm. He stood up in panic and pointed at Meng Zhou: "Kill him, kill him!"
The servants realized it later and surrounded Mengzhou with their swords drawn.
Meng Zhou sat on the wooden box, sniffling, enjoying the smell of blood: "Damn it, who dares to touch me? I am the reconnaissance captain of the East Factory! Killing me is rebellion!"
He raised his badge and placed it on the wooden box.
Then jump off the wooden box.
The servants were cowardly and didn't dare to take action. This outfit was indeed from Dongchang. They really didn't dare to kill anyone. They thought Mengzhou would kill three and the matter would be over.
However, as soon as Meng Zhou took two steps, he suddenly raised his knife and struck a servant on the head.
The blade was embedded in his skull, but Meng Zhou didn't pull it out.
He kicked the servant away, then hugged the servant behind him, grabbed the knife with his hands, and stabbed him in the stomach.
Two more were killed in an instant!
"Move, do it, kill him!" The noble master shouted.
"You dare to rebel? Huh?"
Meng Zhou put his head in front of a servant's knife and pointed at him: "Come on, kill me, kill me, and all nine of you tribes will die!"
The servant looked at the noble master in horror and screamed in horror.
A big head flew out, and Meng Zhou's wild smile could still be seen through his undilated pupils.
"kill him!"
One of the servants roared angrily, because Mengzhou bullied others too much. If he didn't kill Mengzhou, Mengzhou would kill them all because of his madness.
"Damn it, these people are rebelling! Brothers, rush in and kill their motherfuckers!" Meng Zhou roared.
As he roared, more than a dozen servants came over with knives.
Meng Zhou groaned and was stabbed.
He secretly cursed Dongchang Fanzi for being a coward for not rushing in to kill people after such a long time.
The sight of blood on his body aroused his ferocity.
Braving the blade, he rushed towards the noble young master as fast as he could.
"Stop him, stop..."
While the noble master was speaking, a stream of hot blood spurted into his face.
His white brocade robe was stained with blood, and blood even poured into his mouth. The salty taste was disgusting.
The next moment, he had a knife on his neck.
"Don't fucking move. If anyone dares to move, I will remove the parts from him!" Meng Zhou was covered in blood, both his own and others'.
But his face was full of excitement, this is the life a man should live! happy!
"Don't, don't move!" Your young master was frightened. He didn't even see clearly how Meng Zhou got through the two human walls and ran in front of him. Could he know magic?
But he didn't see that Mengzhou was hit by several knives.
The servants did not dare to act rashly. This young master was the treasure of the family and could not be hurt.
"I haven't killed anyone for seven or eight years, and my body is getting rusty." Meng Zhou grinned at the noble young master.
It was pitch dark inside the pawn shop, illuminated by candles. Only then did Meng Zhou see Meng Zhou's face clearly, and he almost lost his breath in fright.
This face has two large scars, one from forehead to chin, and the mouth has been cut open;
The other one is on the right side of his face. The scar is not long, but the bone is deep enough to see Mengzhou’s teeth.
"Okay, good man, what do you want to do?"
The noble prince trembled and said: "Hero, let's talk about it, isn't it just money? I don't want it anymore. I am the second son of Zhu Yong, the uncle of Funing. His name is Zhu Kai. I will give this money to the hero and treat it as a friend." OK, okay?"
"I'm a reconnaissance captain, an officer! Not a fucking forest hero!"
Mengzhou snorted coldly: "Uncle Fu Ning is nothing but a bird. I have never even heard of him. There are as many dignitaries as dogs in the capital. Uncle Fu Ning is not even worthy of carrying my shoes! Why, you are so fucking rebellious. You want to follow me?" I'm so close to you, please forgive me, right? Stop dreaming!"
"It's settled, come in, you guys are a bunch of cowards!" Meng Zhou looked down on Dongchang Fanzi. These people could still steal money, so let them do some serious work and forget it as soon as possible.
The Dongchang fans rushed in. Seeing that Mengzhou had the situation under control, they began to occupy the boxes.
"Damn it, grab your ass and kill all these people! Stupid birds!" Meng Zhou was so angry that it was no wonder that the factory owner looked down on these goods. If he were the factory owner, he would kill them all.
"Don't, don't kill anyone...ah!"
Zhu Kai suddenly screamed.
Meng Zhou slashed at him with a knife, trying to chop off one of his arms, but the knife was not fast enough and he couldn't chop it off after two slashes.
"Damn it, your servants are so careless. They don't even sharpen their knives when they go to the battlefield, causing you to suffer three times. It's all down to my skill!"
Meng Zhou muttered.
Zhu Kai lay on the ground and screamed, begging Meng Zhou and calling his servants to save him.
But his servants were chopped down like lambs by Dongchang fans.
"Lie down and don't cover it with your hands. I made a mistake and chopped off your hand. It's not a good thing. I have to remove your arm!"
Meng Zhou stepped on Zhu Kai and slashed him again.
The blade is broken and has not been chopped off.
"Damn! This broken knife!"
Mengzhou threw the knife away and picked up another one from the ground.
"Hero, brother, please spare me, please spare me, I know I was wrong, please hand me over to Your Majesty, please...ah!"
Zhu Kai's begging for mercy was in vain. Mengzhou Mou used all his strength and stabbed him hard, finally cutting off his right arm.
Zhu Kai kept screaming: "Why, why do you have to chop it? Ahh!"
"Damn it, are you deaf? What did I say at the beginning?"
Meng Zhou asked him: "I told your people not to move, why did they move? I spat out a nail, but if they move, I will remove your parts!"
Zhu Kai rolled his eyes crazily, Dongchang fan kills people, why don't people resist?
You are so damn unreasonable!
Zhu Kai is Zhu Yong's second son, a man as bright as a pearl.
But Zhu Yong was also able to give birth, and gave birth to seven sons. Not only was he able to give birth, but his descendants were also able to give birth, and they specialized in giving birth to Hanjian.
"What? You don't accept it!" Meng Zhou didn't bother to embarrass him. He was pursuing gratification, not torture.
Zhu Kai shook his head and said he didn't dare. Seeing the voices in the pawn shop gradually dying down, he looked up and found that no one was breathing.
Not only were the servants he brought with him dead, but also the pawnshop keeper, thugs and the like were all killed.
Zhu Kai was completely stunned: "You, are you really not afraid of the Earl's Mansion?"
"Are you sick? Lord Jingzhong is so damn sick. I won't accept it from anyone. All you can do is set up a good father and let me go to the battlefield. I'll beat ten of you by myself. I'm just a bird!" "
Meng Zhou chuckled: "By the way, what uncle? I've never heard of it! What a bullshit uncle! Show it off!"
Zhu Kai almost lost his temper.
"The captain is right, let us go to the battlefield and be 10,000 times stronger than them. Sooner or later we will earn a title and come back, hahaha!" These villains laughed proudly.
"Go away, why didn't you come in just now? Everyone was so scared that they were bragging like grandsons!"
Meng Zhou exposed their background. When they were robbing for money, one of them was worth eight, but when they were fighting for their lives, they all disappeared without a trace.
You still have the nerve to come out and brag without any shame.
"Isn't this as powerful as the captain?" An old fan flattered him.
Meng Zhou chuckled: "Find a place to seal the things, and keep the injured brother under guard... don't kill him!"
When he saw a gangster about to kill Zhu Kai, he quickly stopped him: "The factory boss asked us to kill the people in the pawnshop. He didn't say to kill the nobles. Spare his life and throw him into the street. Whether he lives or dies, let's leave it to fate." .”
The two fans dragged Zhu Kai and threw him on the street like a dead dog. If he was thrown in the middle of the street, if a fast horse galloped over, he would most likely be trampled to pieces.
"Fuck listen."
"The things are sealed and the guards should not have any thoughts that they shouldn't have."
"Use your brain, who would dare to spend this money without the factory boss protecting it? Do you think anyone can open this pawn shop?"
"You can't make enough money. If you get 20%, you will be rich and prosperous enough."
"Think about it again, is our skin more valuable than silver?"
"I've said this, if anyone still has bad intentions and is discovered by the factory owner, I will definitely not be the one who loses his head!"
After Meng Zhou reprimanded him, he took back his waist tag from the box, hung it on his waist, and said: "The brothers who stayed behind will also share 20% of the proceeds as usual."
"I have a lot of faults, but my only good thing is that it's fair!"
"Let's go to the next one!"
Mengzhou straightened his back and mounted his horse, aggravating the injury, but he didn't care.
That old fan Zhou Cheng trotted over and asked with concern: "Captain, can you take a break?"
"It doesn't matter, pick the big pawn shop first, wait until the big one is finished, and then come back to get the smaller one!"
Meng Zhou glanced at Zhou Cheng: "Stop flattering me from now on and follow me!"
"Yes, captain!" Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up.
He could see that Mengzhou would either become famous and be reused by the factory owner, or he would die miserably. He bet that Mengzhou would be the first to go.
…
"Reporting to the factory owner, Lieutenant Meng destroyed two big pawnshops and gained a lot!"
Shu Liang just came out of Chenji and saw the chaos in the capital. Countless dignitaries took their servants to the streets to rob.
Countless good things were transported to the mansion in carloads.
He was secretly annoyed that he was too slow to rob two houses, and only robbed one million taels of silver in total.
I'm afraid I won't make much if I continue to rob it.
All the good stuff falls into people's pockets.
"Bastard's day!"
Shu Liang suddenly turned his head and glanced at the people in the East Factory: "Who the hell dares to do something for me? Stand up even if you risk your life!"
"Dare you bid!"
There was a sound of explosion, and a short and thick man came out.
His name is Zhang Yongnian, and he is a famous hob meat maker in Dongchang. Even though he is short and fat, like a short winter melon, in fact, he is cruel and vicious, and no one in Dongchang wants to see him.
He succeeded his father in the Jinyiwei position and was disliked by everyone in the Jinyiwei. He was kicked to Dongchang. Shu Liang also disliked him. Like Meng Zhou, he was not his confidant.
"good!"
"The governor will give you two hundred people, you choose them."
"If you do well, I will promote you to Qianhu!"
Shu Liang asked him to come closer, then waved away the people around him and whispered: "The governor asked you to rob those servants, do you dare to go?"
Zhang Yongnian swallowed his saliva and guessed that this was the case!
If the factory owner is dissatisfied with the harvest, he must find someone to take action. The richest people nowadays are not the merchants, but the servants of the powerful.
They are happily carrying treasures from major merchants' shops and mansions.
Here comes a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it.
As expected, he can be a factory boss, and his heart is really cruel.
Zhang Yongnian glanced at Shu Liang's eyes, fearing that if he didn't agree, Shu Liang would execute him immediately.
"Dare you bid!"
Zhang Yongnian knelt on the ground: "I am willing to bring back one million taels of silver for the factory owner!"
"good!"
Shu Liang got angry: "But you must take off your Dongchang skin. After the matter is completed, I will give you 20% of the silver to promote all of your officials. I promise that as long as I am alive, no one will dare to It’s hard for you!”
Zhang Yongnian looked troubled. They were able to pretend to be powerful in the capital because of this skin.
You can use this leather to torture merchants and rob the servants of civil and military officials.
If he really went there blatantly, the emperor would have to push Shu Liang out and kill him tomorrow morning to thank the world. As for them, they must die today, and the emperor cannot save them.
"I obey you!"
Zhang Yongnian also got angry.
This is a certificate of submission. If you accept it, you will become Shu Liang's confidant. It will also be a good opportunity for him to soar into the sky. Do it!
"Go pick someone!"
Shu Liang scolded Zhang Yongnian away, but was still not satisfied.
The emperor made such a big battle, and Dongchang made such a drizzle when he returned home, he had no shame to explain to the emperor.
"Who is not afraid of death?" Shu Liang's eyes were burning and he sent out another team.
"Don't be afraid of bidding!"
A man dressed as a scholar was kneeling on the ground.
Shu Liang's eyes flashed. This person's name was Ke Hong. He was from Juren. He personally recruited him into Dongchang and trained him as a confidant.
"Come forward!"
Shu Liang waved his hand and asked Ke Hong to grab it.
Ke Hong looked calm: "Reporting to the factory owner, I want 30% of the bid, but if I can get back two million taels of silver for the factory owner, if I lose one tael, the factory owner will chop off a finger of the bid!"
Shu Liang frowned: "Ke Hong, you are a member of the Juren family and a person who is valued by the governor. Why do you do such a shameful thing?"
"Reporting to the factory owner, I want to be promoted."
Ke Hong gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, 20% was enough, but the bid was clear. After Zhang Yongnian finished selecting people, there would be no more brave men to choose from. But under the heavy reward, there must be brave men who are willing to bid for it." Work hard."
"Okay! I am waiting for your good news!"
Shu Liang agreed: "If you bring back the money, I will promote you to the rank of Thousand Households!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chang, for cultivating me!" Ke Hong kowtowed and left.
"Gong Hui."
When Zhang Yongnian and Ke Hong were selecting people, Shu Liang called Gong Hui over to discuss, and he couldn't be idle.
"Mr. Factory, I know something about the bid." Hu Changgui said in a low voice.
"Come on." Shu Liang did not accuse him of eavesdropping.
"I think Huizhou merchants and Suzhou merchants have more salt eagles." Hu Changgui reminded.
Shu Liang's eyes lit up: "Yes, Yan! The salt was taken away, and there is still Yan Yin!"
Businessmen from other places, such as Huizhou merchants and Suzhou merchants, all joined the group to keep warm and formed a business gang.
The Longyou Merchant Gang is not very powerful because there are few traders in Beijing.
However, merchants such as Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, and Su merchants were numerous in Beijing. They formed a unified force, helped each other, and were powerful.
"Mount your horse! Follow me!"
Shu Liang knew that he would probably only drink soup. If he drank soup, he would drink soup. The governor still didn't believe it. Who dared to compete with Dongchang for soup? He was tired of living!
But at this moment, the sky suddenly burst into flames.
Shu Liang was surprised: "What direction is that?"
"Like Guangjiku!" Gong Hui replied.
Shu Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better not to be in the palace. Let's go out and be quick with your hands and feet. I will go to the palace to announce the good news to the emperor in the evening!"
"I will obey the orders of the factory owner!"
Among the Hui merchants in Beijing, the four families of Cheng, Wang, Wu, and Huang were the richest.
Shu Liang is going to the Cheng family to try his luck.
In the Cheng family salt shop, the cries of the Cheng family could be heard.
The salt shop was ransacked and all the salt was looted. The Cheng family was imprisoned in a small salt shop with several servants guarding the outside.
Shu Liang ran away from the Wang family and the Wu family again in vain, and couldn't get rid of any trouble.
He didn't go to Huang's store.
He went straight to the Huang family's residence. The owner of the family was Huang Nanfeng, whom he had dealt with once.
We arrived at Huang Mansion quickly.
But I saw many servants walking out carrying salt bags.
"Late again!"
Shu Liang was a little impatient, so he rushed forward with his horse, whipped down his whip, dispersed the servants, and led Dongchang Fanzi into the Huang Mansion.
"Dongchang is handling the case, and idlers should stay away!" Gong Hui roared.
He led his followers to seal the four gates of Huang Mansion.
Shu Liang hurried in and saw the host and guest chatting happily in the Huang family's main hall.
Shu Liang's pupils shrank.
The two people sitting in the main hall were also slightly surprised.
"See Mr. Factory."
Huang Nanfeng saluted first, but the other one remained motionless.
Shu Liang was too lazy to pay attention to Huang Nanfeng, and stared at the other person with burning eyes: "Who do you think this governor is? It turns out to be the son of King Dingxing. Why are you here when you are not recuperating at home? Huh?"
"I'm here to see the factory master!" Zhang Zhong, Zhang Fu's eldest son, stood up reluctantly. He had leg problems and could not attack the prince due to illness.
Instead, he gave up his title to his concubine's younger brother, Zhang Mao.
But was it Zhang Zhongrang?
Isn't it the emperor's bad taste and a deliberate seal?
They are all bastards, huh!
"I ask you, why are you here?" Shu Lianghan asked sternly.
Zhang Zhong had a lot of resentment towards the emperor, and he had heard about it, so he didn't have a good tone towards Zhang Zhong.
What's more important is that nowadays, the city is searching for merchants, but Zhang Zhong and Huang Nanfeng are drinking tea and chatting, saying that there is no ghost inside, who believes it?
"Mr. Factory, I am carrying out His Majesty's orders. Didn't you see?"
Zhang Zhong pointed to the servants who were carrying the goods and sneered: "Mr. Factory, this place is already here, so I don't need to worry about it."
Shu Liang frowned, was it a British public behind the Huizhou merchants?
"Come here, search!"
Shu Liang was too lazy to talk nonsense and took action directly.
Huang Nanfeng changed his color slightly, glanced at Zhang Zhong, and said urgently: "Mr. Factory, our Huang family is willing to tie ourselves up in the shop without having to do anything to the factory boss. You see..."
Shu Liang remained unmoved.
Dongchang Fanzi was very ruthless. He first subdued the servants of the Huang family, and then ordered the servants of the British government to stop moving.
But without Zhang Zhong's order, the British officials ignored them.
"Zhang Zhong, ask your servants to stop carrying it." Shu Lianghan said with a face.
"Eunuch Shu, I have already said that this family belongs to the British government, so I would like to ask Eunuch Shu to show your respect." Zhang Zhong changed his title and sat down.
Shu Liang's face turned gloomy, Zhang Zhong was forcing him to take action.
In other words, I wanted to use this to bargain with the emperor, but my method was too immature!
Do you really think that the governor will give you a chance to bargain?
"Those who disobey orders will be killed without mercy!" Shu Liang ordered.
Zhang Zhong suddenly changed his mind and was about to speak.
But screams were heard.
He lamely leaned at the door to look, and saw that the servant he had brought out had been chopped down by Dongchang Fanzi, and his blood stained the white salt red.
"Shu Liang, you dare to kill people from my British government!"
Zhang Zhong pointed at Shu Liang fiercely: "I'm going to sue you in front of His Majesty! Ah! Let go! Let go!"
Shu Liang grabbed his finger and broke it hard.
Zhang Zhong screamed in pain so much that he couldn't stop screaming.
"What tricks are you playing with this governor? Aren't you just forcing this governor to kill people? You want to go before the emperor and ask for justice?"
Shu Liang pinched his fingers, forced him to come closer to him, and stared at Zhang Zhong's rather immature face: "You are still too young. I can give you a chance to go to the Palace of Hell to complain!"
"Dongchang obeyed the order. Huang Nanfeng's family colluded with the grain merchants and resisted arrest with weapons. Kill them all!" Shu Liang yelled.
"ah?"
Huang Nanfeng was so frightened that he fell to the ground and begged Shu Liang for his life.
However, he saw his wives and concubines being chopped down.
His son was chased all over the garden by Dongchang Fanzi and was eventually killed.
"Ahhh!"
Huang Nanfeng went crazy. He never expected that Shu Liang would dare to do this. He stared at Shu Liang and said, "I will fight with you!"
puff!
Shu Liang struck him directly with a knife, and blood splashed all over Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong was fooled.
Shu Liang did this for him to see!
Because he was being clever, Shu Liang killed everyone!
Is this Shu Liang crazy?
Isn't he afraid of being impeached?
His Majesty……
Suddenly, Zhang Zhong realized that the emperor's deep intention was to force all the civil and military officials to kill each other, and even hope that they would kill each other.
Let their so-called party members be torn apart.
"Kneel down."
Shu Liang pointed at Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong was frightened and knelt on the ground softly.
"Don't attack me. I can't stand your kneeling." Shu Liang stepped aside. He was not a rebellious eunuch.
Zhang Zhong knelt down facing the Forbidden City.
"Zhang Zhong, I know that you have a grudge against the emperor."
"But have you ever thought about it, is it really the Emperor's decision to confer titles?"
"You are the eldest son of King Gu Xingding. Even if you are slightly disabled, you should still be able to ascend the throne normally."
"Why can't you attack the prince?"
"Who got the advantage?"
"Think about it again, how many rebels there are in your British government. Zhang Shi has already been punished, and there is also Zhang Fu!"
"Is that Zhang Mao necessarily clean?"
"Use your brain to figure out who is in league with whom!"
Shu Liang patted his head: "My lord is protecting you. If you attack me, what will happen to you? Follow brothers Zhang Min and Zhang Fu and join in the evil!"
"You will also die without a burial place!"
"Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu's great reputations have been ruined by you!"
"But think about it again, if you help the emperor and eradicate Zhang Fu and his son, will the title return to you?"
Shu Liang is sowing discord.
Zhang Fu can bury nails in the palace and among the courtiers.
Our family is also burying nails in the British government!
Zhang Zhong, isn’t he the best person to win over?
Stupid and incompetent, how useful it is.
Zhang Zhong curled his lips.
"Think again, why are you here tonight?"
"Is it being plotted?"
"Hui merchants, are they from the British government?"
"Zhang Zhong, if I were you, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Those who love you will hate your enemies."
With that said, Shu Liang helped Zhang Zhong up: "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you, but you must be used by me and the emperor."
"As long as you obey me, won't your title come back?"
"Isn't it just a matter of the emperor's words to decide who to attack the title?"
Zhang Zhong swallowed his saliva, his eyes moved, and his eyes flashed with hope: "I am disabled, can I still attack the title?"
"Even if it's a dead person, the emperor can let him rise to the throne, so disability is nothing!"
Shu Liang pointed at himself: "Isn't this governor also disabled? Doesn't the emperor put me in high regard?"
Zhang Zhong was unwilling to compare himself to eunuchs.
But what Shu Liang said does make sense.
"This is me?" Zhang Zhong pointed to himself.
"I can pretend that you have never been here!"
Shu Liang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, you are the British Duke, but you have to tell me where Zhang Jin is hiding! I know, you must know!"
Zhang Zhong's face changed slightly. Shu Liang didn't ask why he appeared in the Huang Mansion, nor did he care who was behind the Hui merchants. Instead, he asked Zhang Jin, what bad things had his cousin done?
