Which merchant is suitable? Chang Qingyun said that instead of looking for someone else, it would be better to find Ruijintang Silk and Satin Store, the shopkeeper Jiang who bought the rice cloth. It is also a century-old brand in Wuzhou. It has been passed down for generations and has foundation and credit. It will definitely be no problem to hand it over to their counter for storage.
So the matter was settled, and a few days later, Ruijintang sent a few guys to quietly transport the money back, leaving behind three small ox-horn stamps.
"After a long time of trouble, the money was just taken here and sent back." Liu Hope looked at the three stamps with some reluctance, "I didn't even cover them."
Jiang Yougong was not as sentimental as he was. He casually stuffed himself and the stamp for Zhu Si into his arms and said: "It is easy to get into trouble if you carry this money with you, but it is safe if you store it in this big shop..."
Liu Youyou watched him hide the seal in his sleeve, as if a piece of flesh had been torn off. He laughed a few times, full of unwillingness.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was wrong. He had taken almost half of the money from him for no reason - he was the manager of Sanhezui, not Jiang Yougong! Even if you want to give him some benefits, this 40% is too much. Besides, the one hundred taels taken this time is even more meaningless - who is responsible for guarding the camp is not the same? It has nothing to do with him at all, but he went to plug Zhu Si’s dog hole!
This kid Zhu Si doesn't seem to be a good person. He knows there are benefits here, but he still has to come to share the benefits from time to time?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jiang Yougong was "not interesting enough" and felt unhappy. But now that he wants to "make a fortune" in this camp, he is indispensable as his "strategist"...
Suddenly, Liu Hope's heart moved: Speaking of counselors, isn't Chang Qingyun a ready-made counselor? ! In terms of ability, he is much more capable than Jiang Yougong - he is a dignified civil servant and has served as an aide to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Doesn't he know more about official matters than Jiang Yougong, a little sentry?
Moreover, Mr. Chang is much more obedient than before after being taught a lesson about Qiao Niang. He is also effective in doing things. The key is that he is a prisoner, and his life and death are in his own hands. Firstly, there is no need to give him any money. Secondly, there is no need to worry about him talking nonsense outside. Thirdly, if anything happens, just kill him without any further trouble.
The more Liu hopes to calculate, the more clever his plan becomes. It's just that Jiang Yougong has a deep connection with him now, and it's difficult to get rid of him safely...
How did Jiang Yougong know that Liu Hope had evil intentions? After taking the stamp, he rushed to see Zhu Si. After complimenting the captain of the National Army a few times, he quietly gave him the small horn stamp.
"One hundred stones of white rice is not a sign of respect."
Zhu Si understood this. White rice is silver, and one hundred shi is one hundred taels. He smiled slightly and thought that these three-part mouths were really good! No wonder Jiang Yougong refused to adjust his defense and insisted on relying on Sanhezui.
It seems that he can be strangled again in the future, but now, it is a critical time for grain transportation, so it is better to stabilize him first. At that moment, he accepted it with a smile on his face and said some soothing words. He also said that the grain fleet was coming soon and asked him to do a good job of guarding Sanhezui in case something like this happened.
Liu Youwang has been itching in his heart ever since he came up with this idea. Thinking about how to get rid of Jiang Yougong "safely". Although his mind is not flexible, he also understands that no matter which method he uses to deal with this "brother", there is a great risk of implicating himself. It is best to silence him once and for all...
Such a complicated conspiracy was naturally beyond his reach. After thinking for a long time, he finally called Chang Qingyun.
"Old Chang, my friend has something that I would like to ask you to help me with..." Liu Hope said with some hesitation.
"Master, please give me your instructions." Chang Qingyun asked, not knowing why for a moment.
"I have a friend who has a business and the business is good. But he is busy - so he asked a shopkeeper for help, but this shopkeeper has no ability and does nothing. He has to take half of the money every year. ..." Liu Hope is actually not very good at talking. His words were a little garbled with such nonsense, and he was sweating on his forehead. "...Tell me, how did you drive this shopkeeper away - you can't call him yet. Have any complaints?"
Chang Qingyun was baffled. Which one is this from? He had a rough idea of Liu Youyou's origins. He was from a poor peasant family and was kidnapped by thieves and used as a fake. How could such a person have business friends? Besides, what Liu Hope said is unreasonable...
His mind was spinning very quickly, and he understood within a moment after being confused: this "I have a friend" is "myself". This Liu Hope is talking about him and Jiang Yougong!
Chang Qingyun suddenly became interested. In his opinion, Jiang Yougong and Liu Youyi had always been "wearing the same pants." But what Liu Youyou said now showed that there was a conflict between the two.
What a smart man he was. After making some inferences, Liu Yougong suspected that Jiang Yougong had gained too much benefit from Sanhezui. In other words, he wanted to "eat alone."
This is human nature, and Chang Qingyun has seen it a lot in the past. But at this juncture, Liu Hope suddenly had such an idea. I wonder if he can take advantage of it?
He coughed lightly and said, "I want to drive people away. I don't know how to drive them away. Should I drive them away with force or with force?"
Liu Youwang saw that he was confident and knew that he had an idea. He couldn't help but be very happy and said with a smile: "You scholars are very knowledgeable! What is Wen Dian and what is Wu Dian?"
"Wen Qian, it's natural to leave a trace in your life so that we can meet each other someday. Invite him to drink and say a few soft words during the dinner. He just said that the small store temple cannot accommodate a great Bodhisattva like you. Please ask him to find another job before sending him off. Spend a lot of money to buy peace and harmony."
"We have to pay another sum of money, okay? Where is Wu Qian?"
Chang Qingyun deliberately said solemnly: "It's easy to drive away, but it depends on whether the shop owner has power..."
"What?" Liu Hope became interested.
"When it comes to Wu Dian, it means breaking one's face. But there are several types of breaking one's face. One is that the shop owner is so wealthy that he directly tells the shopkeeper to pack up and get out. Even if the shopkeeper is unwilling to do so, he does not dare to offend him. You can only leave obediently."
"Well, that sounds good, but I'm afraid the shop owner isn't that good."
"The other is that since the shopkeeper has no power, the shopkeeper will naturally hold a grudge after being cut off from his wealth, and he will definitely think of ways to take revenge." Chang Qingyun deliberately wanted to whet his appetite, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief. Japan is on guard against thieves. If he bites her back, the shopkeeper will be in trouble..."
Liu Youwang was fascinated by what he heard and said anxiously: "So what?"
"Then it depends on whether the store owner dares to do something dirty."
"Oh? How to do something evil?" Liu Hope asked anxiously.
"There are thousands of ways to do evil. The easiest one is to frame him." Chang Qingyun said, "I falsely accused him of embezzlement and stealing the money in the cabinet, and caught him on the spot. I had no choice but to plead guilty and get out - but One thing is, you must not disturb the government, otherwise the shop owner will lose money if you get entangled."
"Yeah, but this is not safe. The shopkeeper is not greedy, so he will naturally think that the shopkeeper framed him. Don't you have to hold a grudge?"
Chang Qingyun secretly thought, this Liu Hope is really cruel! Then he said deliberately:
"With the defense in hand, most people don't dare to complain. It can be regarded as a long-term peace and stability. But this problem must have been forged. If one day it falls into his hands, it's hard to say..."
"What if there are no future troubles?"
"If you want to get rid of it once and for all, you have to not only use evil tactics, but also heavy tactics." Chang Qingyun said, "This depends on whether the store owner is so ruthless."
Liu Youwang did not ask how to act cruelly. He thought for a while and asked, "I know the owner. He is even capable of killing people."
"Just daring to kill someone is not enough. If the government discovers it, both people and money will be lost."
Liu Youyou was silent for a while and did not ask any more questions. After a long time, he said: "Master Chang, you are reliable and you are a master. I will ask for your help in many things in the camp in the future."
Chang Qingyun saw the cold light in his eyes and knew that this man had murderous intentions. He couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and quickly bowed and said: "Thank you for looking after me, sir. The student will do his best."
"Liu Youzhi is planning to take advantage of Jiang Yougong." Yi Haoran muttered, "This does add a lot of variables."
"Yes, that's why I'm anxious to see you. I don't know if this will have any impact..." Chang Qingyun said.
If the evil attempt is successful, whether Jiang Yougong is resigned or transferred to the defense, Sanhezui still needs a squadron to guard it; if the evil attempt is unsuccessful, Liu Hope will definitely be dismissed from his post and investigated.
But it is hard to say whether these will help their actions. Yi Haoran found it difficult to make this judgment for a while. However, the management team at Sanhezui wanted to assassinate the captain of the National Army squadron in charge of security. This would definitely be very beneficial to them, but how to use it was another problem.
"Didn't he say anything to you afterwards?"
"I didn't say anything." Chang Qingyun said.
"Has anything changed?"
"I have been given a lot of tasks to manage and take care of, and I have to check the accounts from time to time." Chang Qingyun said with a bitter smile, "I am very busy - I am now a prominent figure in the camp. I think he is a little bit obsessed with me. It means 'entrusting an important task'."
Yi Haoran turned around a few times and suddenly said: "I understand - Liu Youzhi is trying you out!"
"Trial me?!"
"Yes." Yi Haoran nodded, "You told me last time that Jiang Yougong had a deep connection with him."
"Yes, if Jiang Yougong didn't come, he wouldn't be able to make so much money." Chang Qingyun explained the collusion between Jiang Yougong and Liu Hope.
"So, he wants to see if you can replace Jiang Yougong." Yi Haoran said with a smile, "If you can replace him, Liu Hope will do something evil."
"So that's it!" Chang Qingyun suddenly realized, thinking that Liu Youxuan seemed vulgar, but could be so ruthless, and he couldn't help but sweat broke out on his back.
"This is indeed an opportunity that can be taken advantage of. But how to take advantage of it, the student can't figure it out for a while." Yi Haoran was a little distressed,
