Steward Fan raised his hand to the Mongolian armored soldier in front of him and said, "Excuse me, this Mongolian general. I would like to ask to see Su Nang Tai Ji. Please let me know."
The Mongolian armored soldiers outside the "Han" door glanced sideways.
Butler Fan said respectfully, "I am the steward next to President Fan of the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, people from the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce." The Mongolian armored soldier glanced at him again and said calmly, "Wait here, I will go in and inform you."
After saying that, the Mongolian armored soldier left Butler Fan behind and went inside alone to report the matter.
After a short time, he came out and said to Butler Fan outside the door, "Taiji will let you in, but before entering, you need to search yourself. Who knows whether you Han people will harm us, Taiji."
"Yes, yes, yes, generals, just feel free to search them." Fan's housekeeper said with a smile.
Two Mongolian armored soldiers came over and began to search the butler's body.
After a search, they only took out a few taels of silver. The Mongolian armored soldier put it directly into his arms, and then said, "Let's go in with me."
All the money he had on him was taken away, but Butler Fan didn't dare to say anything and followed the Mongolian armored soldier obediently.
Su Nang's residence is a two-entry house. The yard is paved with bluestone slabs. There is a stable on one side of the front yard, and several Mongolian ponies are tied to the horse posts.
As I walked through the yard, the smell of horse manure penetrated my nostrils.
Butler Fan lowered his head slightly, with a look of disdain on his face.
The dignified owner of Bansheng City, Tumut's Dadaiji, raises horses in his own yard. Not even a wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty would do such a thing, and only these Mongolians would understand nothing. The yard raises horses.
"Taiji, people from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce are here."
The Mongolian armored soldier who led Butler Fan into the courtyard came to a door and said respectfully.
"Bring it in" Su Nang's lazy voice came from the room.
The Mongolian armored soldier turned around and said to Butler Fan with a cold face, "Go in."
"Thank you, General." Butler Fan bowed with his hands, then opened the door and stepped in.
Entering the house, waves of heat hit his face, making him feel that most of the chill on his body was driven away in an instant.
There are two charcoal braziers in the house, which burn dried cow dung. Mongolians like to use this kind of thing for heating and cooking.
The charcoal brazier is in the middle of the room, and behind him is a round-faced Mongolian with a big horse and a golden sword sitting on the seat, accompanied by Su Nang's personal guard general Wo Lunkuo.
Butler Fan had seen Su Nang and recognized it at first glance. He hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Young man Fan Youfu has seen Su Nang Taiji."
Su Nang pressed his upper body forward, put one arm on his knees, and said lightly, "I heard that you want to see me. Your Fanji Chamber of Commerce has another way to deal with the Tiger Flag."
Butler Fan knelt down and said, "When we return to Taiji, I just got the news that the people sent by the Tiger Character Banner to the grasslands have gone to the Ulut tribe. They have been gone for more than a day. I heard that they brought several cartloads of gifts. I must have I’m going to see Taiji, the commander of the Fifth Route Army, and I’d like to ask Taiji to make plans in advance.”
"Why did they go to see Wulu Badu'er to do Bentaiji?" Su Nang sneered, "I really thought that Bentaiji was a knife in the hands of you Han people, at your disposal."
"Young ones don't dare, little ones don't dare." Butler Fan kowtowed hurriedly.
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare either." Su Nang snorted coldly.
Butler Fan raised his head cautiously and said, "I am worried that the people in the Tiger-Character Flag will get support from Du'er Taiji, the leader of the Fifth Route Army. Seeing that the shops of the Tiger-Character Flag on the grassland are about to be squeezed out, at this time, the Fifth Route Army If Duer Taiji is involved, it will cause some trouble."
"So what if the Tiger Character Banner is supported by the old guy Wulu Badu'er," Su Nang said, "I support your Fanji Chamber of Commerce in dealing with the Tiger Character Flag because I don't want them to continue to cooperate with Qingcheng. You If Fanji Chamber of Commerce can't deal with the tiger-character flag, then why should Bentaiji cooperate with you? Your Fanji Chamber of Commerce is not the only Ming Dynasty Han merchant who came to the grassland, so the worst is that Bentaiji will find another one."
"Khan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean it this way." Butler Fan hurriedly explained, "This time an important person came to the grassland from Tiger Character Flag. I just hope to take this opportunity to get rid of him and crush him." The tiger flag also has benefits.”
Su Nang's eyes turned cold and he said gloomily, "Do you want me to send troops to kill people on your behalf?"
"This time the people from the Tiger Character Banner are going to the Ulut tribe. They have to walk for many days. It is the best time to get rid of them. Taiji only needs to send troops to intercept and kill them halfway to avoid future troubles." Butler Fan knelt on the ground and gestured with his right hand. A slashing motion.
After hearing this, Su Nang Taiji retracted his arm on his knees, leaned back, and said, "This is a matter between your Fanji Chamber of Commerce and the Tiger Flag. I will not send troops."
"Taiji, this is the best opportunity to remove the tiger flag." Butler Fan said excitedly.
"I have already said that I will not send troops. Do I have to repeat it again?" Su Nang's voice suddenly turned cold.
"Taiji"
Butler Fan didn't dare to say what happened next.
Su Nang said coldly, "I am not the knife of your Fanji Chamber of Commerce. I will kill whoever you want to kill for you. If something like this happens again next time, I will drag you with a horse." , run a lap around the city."
Compared with the county towns in the Ming Dynasty, Bansheng City was not a big city, but if a person was tied with a rope behind a horse and dragged around for a lap, no one would be able to escape the end of a bloody and tragic death.
Butler Fan trembled, feeling chilled in his heart, feeling Su Nang's anger.
For a moment, he was really afraid that the other party would kill him out of anger.
During his time on the grassland, what struck him most was that the Han people had no place at all on the grassland, and even an ordinary herdsman could beat a Han at will.
If the owner of Bansheng City is angry and really wants to kill him, a Han from the Ming Dynasty, no one can save him, not even his master Fan Yongdou comes forward.
Among the Han people, the only one who has some face in front of Su Nang is the old man of the Zhao family. But the old man of the Zhao family never thinks that he is a Han, so how can he help a Han to violate the auspiciousness of Su Nang? mean.
"I'll spare you this time." Su Nang said, "Go back and tell you, President Fan, that if we can't drive the Tiger Flag out of the grassland, the Fanji Chamber of Commerce will no longer come to the grassland, so get out."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm resigning."
Butler Fan got up from the ground, bowed and walked out of the room.
After closing the door, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands.
As soon as Butler Fan left, Wo Lunkuo, who was also in the room, said, "Taiji, this person from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce is right. The people in the Tiger Character Banner who brought gifts to the Ulut tribe must be looking for five ways to control the capital." With Er Taiji’s support, it’s better to let the general lead the men to chase them and kill them all on the way.”
Su Nang waved his hand and said, "There is no need for you to take action. The people from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce will find someone to take action. Our sons are not used to do this kind of thing. In the words of the Han people, let the two Han people do it themselves." Go dog eat dog.”
"Taiji is wise." Wo Lunkuo flattered.
