"Destroying someone's money is like killing one's parents." Shen Cha nodded, "Especially for a family like Zhun Tugu that finally climbed out of the mud pit and saw some hope, the first eldest prince's approach is tantamount to giving They deliver the killing blow.”
"Yes, and that's not all they are dissatisfied with." Shopkeeper He sighed, "The eldest lady also said before that the private salt and tea business in the Jin Kingdom are in the hands of the powerful people headed by the Wanyan family. Here, similarly, these powerful people also control the so-called iron smuggling channels, and during that great siege, people from these families were also involved."
"But these people were picked up high and put down gently. No matter whether they were people or business, there was no big or too much loss." Shen Cha looked at the shopkeeper, "right?"
"Yes, after this storm, what business those powerful people should do and what business they do has not been affected at all. On the other hand, for a family like Zhun Tugu, people were arrested and their property was confiscated. Fortunately, there was no one who rebelled. Otherwise, the whole family will face the disaster of annihilation." Shopkeeper He sighed softly, "The situation of other families will be better. They have family wealth and will not sit on their hands. But only Zhun Tugu, their family's previous Once again, the matter was brought to light and became the subject of a lot of abuse.”
"What are you talking about?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "I guess these words don't sound very good."
"It really doesn't sound good." Shopkeeper He nodded at Xue Ruitian, "Jin people are tough and straightforward. They always say what they have to say. They don't care whether what they say sounds good or not. Others can't stand it. You won't change your stubbornness. , Dogs can't change their eating..." He raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped talking, "Anyway, these are considered light words, and I won't repeat the unpleasant ones, they are simply unpalatable."
"But Zhun Tugu was able to be written on this board by you, so he must have some other skills." Shen Cha looked at the board, then at the shopkeeper, "But I haven't listened to it now. Find out what is so special about them that makes you pay so much attention to them."
"Their tenacity that they cannot be defeated no matter how hard they are suppressed is considered a skill, right?" Xue Ruitian smiled at Shen Cha, "After all, no big family can be like them, who have experienced countless hardships and can still be tenacious. Get up, right?"
"Master Hou is right, but it's really not for this reason." Shopkeeper He nodded, then shook his head, "Actually, the Zhun Tugu family has a secret that is kept secret from the outside world. It's not that they don't want to tell it, but that I’m embarrassed to say it because it doesn’t sound good.”
"Hey, if you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have been curious. But now that you've said it, I'm a little bit interested." Say it out loud?"
"Dig a hole in the ground."
"What?" Xue Ruitian was stunned after hearing what he said to the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but pick his ears, "Say it again, I don't seem to have heard clearly."
"Master Hou, you heard that right, it's digging holes in the ground." He the shopkeeper repeated in a dumbfounded voice, "A more accurate statement would be digging tunnels and holes. This skill doesn't seem to be considered a skill in the eyes of others. but……"
"In our eyes, this is a very impressive skill." Xue Ruitian nodded, "If the two armies were facing each other, and someone dug a tunnel from the opposite camp to reach us in the middle of the night, we would not know at all. This skill is definitely a sneak attack. A good player can kill the opponent without anyone noticing." He couldn't help but sigh, "Wanyan Qingmu has this help, that's really amazing!"
"In this way, many things will have a reasonable explanation."
"Xiao Cha?" Tea nodded, and he thought for a while, "It makes sense to say that. After all, it is impossible to sneak into the palace without anyone noticing. Without tunnels, it is impossible. With such a plan, it is impossible without anyone to execute it. And Zhun Tugu is good at this, which is what they need most. No wonder Zhun Tugu can be on this board, it will be a great help to Wanyan Aoki."
"Brother Tian The tunnel was dug out so that after Wanyan Qingmu invaded Yiqing Mansion, he could use it to blow up the palace. Unfortunately, this secret tunnel was discovered and all the gunpowder inside was destroyed."
"Wanyan Qingmu just has bad luck. In fact, his methods and scheming are not bad at all. If he had been lucky, the Golden Palace might have changed hands by now, and he would have achieved what he wanted."
"I haven't finished talking yet. Zhun Tugu's achievements are not limited to this alone. Although Wanyan Qingmu's people have left Yiqing Mansion, they have also left a lot of informants in the city. Although these informants look at each other on the surface, They are not connected, but their residences are connected by tunnels underneath, and these, as expected, should be the work of the Juntugu family."
"So, the Zhun Tugu family has taken refuge with Wanyan Qingmu a long time ago?" Jin Jing looked at the shopkeeper, "When did Wanyan Qingmu get in touch with them? Is there anyone in the middle who can help them?"
"No one pulled the strings." Shopkeeper He shook his head slightly, "Zhun Tugu came to the door on his own."
"Come to the door by yourself?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Wanyan Qingmu is so reckless, how dare you meet him?"
"I've seen you." Shopkeeper He smiled helplessly, "His reason is very simple."
"An enemy of an enemy is a friend or an ally." Shen Cha snorted coldly, "Zhun Tugu hates the eldest prince and the people he supports. He and Wanyan Qingmu have the same goal, which is to destroy the eldest prince's power. Therefore, the two people coincided with each other and walked together in confusion."
"The eldest lady is right. Moreover, Wanyan Qingmu said that even if Zhun Tugu doesn't come to him, he will come to him."
"Why?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "Could it be that you value the craftsmanship of the Zhun Tugu family?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper He nodded, "He once investigated these unpopular and unreputable small families in Yiqing Prefecture, and finally chose Zhun Tugu because they have craftsmanship, and this craft is what he urgently needs. All the tunnels must be opened before all his plans can become reality. The tunnels are the first step in all his plans. Without this, he can't do anything."
