Wang Yu had originally set up a time bomb for the Hou Mansion. Before the bomb was completely detonated, if the conflict in the Hou Mansion could be made more intense, he would naturally be happy to see the result.
After returning from Yangxinju, Zhang Yuhang did not go directly to Liu Zuan and others to comfort him, but called Xiao Ma in.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
In the study, Xiao Ma asked while standing in front of Zhang Yuhang's desk.
Zhang Yuhang said: "Have you asked Prince Xie? What did you say?"
Xiao Ma said: "I haven't gone yet. I plan to go there tonight. Has anything changed?"
His young master usually would not interfere in these matters, so when he asked now, he thought what had happened.
"No, you go find Xue Fang and her son and ask them to appease Liu Zu'an. Also, I remember that Sun's natal family seems to have its own industry in Beijing, and it seems that it has been involved in making money in the past few years. , casinos, brothels, and even the most popular Beijing debt are all involved, right?”
Zhang Yuhang carefully recalled the information he already had and sorted it out step by step.
"Yes, but the Sun family itself is not a big merchant family, and does not have much financial support. These industries are only involved in it, and are far from being large-scale.
However, the court situation has been relatively chaotic in recent years. I heard that Shopkeeper Sun, relying on our relationship with the Marquis Mansion, has roped in a head of the Household Department as a partner, and now the business is doing well. "
After Xiao Ma said this, he asked with a slight hesitation: "Master, are you planning to start from the Sun family, but she is not of the same mind as the old lady and the others."
Zhang Yuhang knocked on the table with his hand and said: "But their interests are the same. If you want to completely bring down the Hou Mansion, then the relationship network of these Hou Mansion must be completely cut off, and he will eventually be unable to support himself."
In fact, Zhang Yuhang's target is not really just the Sun family. What he ultimately wants to deal with is the three hundred private soldiers of the Hou Mansion.
In recent years, at least a quarter of the cost of raising private soldiers in the Hou Mansion has been borne by the Sun family. Shopkeeper Sun of the Sun family is very far-sighted. Although the Hou Mansion is weak, it is still a Hou Mansion after all, and its status is There is no doubt about it.
As long as his daughter is in the Hou Mansion and he is there to help her in times of need, then the friendship therein cannot be measured by money at all.
Moreover, the annual expenditure for a mere three hundred elite soldiers is basically no more than eight thousand taels of silver. This is already an extremely high salary. You must know that ordinary soldiers, even the regular army of the imperial court, are far from this treatment.
This is also the reason why any private soldier is loyal to his master's family. After all, as long as the master's family exists for a day, he can enjoy such good treatment. Under this premise, who would not work hard to protect the Hou Mansion.
Calculated, he only spent less than two thousand taels of silver a year, which was not a small amount for a merchant family like the Sun family, but he could still afford it with grit.
With this relationship, the status of the Sun family has also risen. Shopkeeper Sun is also a shrewd and calculating person. He has his own ability to make money in the mall. He will have more means to spend money in the Hou Mansion. Earn it back.
Therefore, as long as there is a problem with the Sun family, it will not only affect the life of the private soldiers of the Hou Mansion, but also when desperate, he will definitely seek help from the Hou Mansion.
What if the problem that caused the Sun family was something that could be solved with violence?
If you raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while, wouldn't it be necessary to use private soldiers?
As long as these private soldiers move, he will have means at his disposal.
You have to know that now that you are working in the Supervisory Office, you still have a lot of mental calculations but no intention. As long as you plan carefully, there is a lot of space that can be utilized.
"How are your arrangements in the Hou Mansion during this time? How many personnel have been prepared?" However, there was no need to tell Xiao Ma this. After a second thought, Zhang Yuhang asked his question again.
When Xiao Ma heard this, he thought about it and said: "After these days of constant contact and money, except for the most loyal maids around the ladies, I dare not contact them. The rest of them will basically communicate with me about any news. I just want to It will probably take a lot of time to turn them into our people.”
Zhang Yuhang shook his head, "No need, that's good. It's too much, and they can't detect anything. You can go find Yi Tian and the others later to see what's going on there. Also, where is Bai Zhan?" , how is he?"
"Yes, Bai Zhan has broken through to the level of a third-rate warrior. He is going to find you today. I will let him settle, but he can stay with you at any time now."
Xiao Ma was also very excited after knowing that Bai Zhan had made a breakthrough. He finally had a decent master beside his young master.
"Go and call Bai Zhan over. I'll take him out with me later."
Having such a master beside him makes Zhang Yuhang feel a lot more at ease.
A moment later, Bai Zhan appeared in front of him in high spirits.
Looking at Bai Zhan's energy and energy in front of him, Zhang Yuhang was also very happy. He clenched his hands into a fist and hit him hard on the chest, saying: "Not bad, he is more energetic than before. He is worthy of being a first-class warrior." .”
Bai Zhan grinned: "I didn't expect to become a warrior so quickly. I thought it would take at least five or six years before I could break through. You don't know how surprised Uncle Liu and the others were when they found out that I had made a breakthrough. "
Xiao Ma also smiled and said: "Just be satisfied. The resources the young master has spent on you these days are not a small number. I don't know how much he spent on exercises, martial arts, elixirs, and ginseng.
Now even your weapons and protective golden silk armor are prepared for you. This kind of treatment is rarely available to even the top geniuses. "
What Xiao Ma said was true. As the representative of his side's highest combat power, Zhang Yuhang spared no effort in supporting Bai Zhan. He gave him whatever he asked for. Now that he has made a breakthrough, coupled with Bai Zhan's own natural power , not to mention being invincible to third-rate warriors, he can be considered the best among them.
Bai Zhan listened and looked at Zhang Yuhang with firm eyes. Not only himself, but also his mother's condition was now treated by a specialized doctor, and his whole body felt much better.
This also made him more convinced that he was with a good master, a good boss worthy of his life to protect.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Go and do your work. Bai Zhan, go and call Xiao Yong, and we'll go out together."
Xiao Ma hesitated and said: "Master, you can just lead Bai Zhan when you go out from now on. Then Xiao Yong..."
Bai Zhan also nodded: "Master, I can protect you. Although I have just broken through, Xiao Yong is definitely not my opponent now." '
Zhang Yuhao smiled and said: "What are you thinking? Of course I believe you, but Xiao Yong is the person placed by the old lady beside me. Isn't this just to monitor me? Especially at this time, it would be easy not to take him with me." Make the old lady suspicious.
Besides, not only am I going out tonight, but I also have to ask the clan elder to go out with me. Having him around makes it more convenient. "
