The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 79
Huang Yishan knelt on the ground and didn't see Mu Xu responding for a long time. He didn't know that Mu Xu was shocked by their wealth, and he thought Mu Xu was too little.Immediately, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, "If your lord is not satisfied, I am willing to add another two million taels."

Mu Xu's thoughts were interrupted by his words, "Get up first, just follow the four million taels you said at the beginning." He will not pretend to be arrogant, and besides, the money is full of human blood, he took it There is no psychological burden.He was going to use [-] million taels of it to develop Jiangnan's Embroidery Guards, and [-] taels to reward his subordinates.As for the emperor, he was going to hand over half of it, since the emperor didn't know how much money he had collected anyway.

Hearing that Mu Xu had accepted his money, Huang Yishan was overjoyed, got up and said, "When I get back to the mansion, I will send the money to Sir. By the way, there is also the deed of this garden."

"It's not in a hurry, I still have something to tell you." Mu Xu didn't refuse, saying that he quite liked this garden, and besides accepting it himself, Huang Yishan felt more at ease.

Sure enough, seeing that Mu Xu didn't refuse, Huang Yishan was even more happy, he said respectfully, "If you have something to do, just give orders, and if you have something to do, the villain will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate."

"It's not that troublesome. I want you to keep an eye on the every move of those salt merchants. If there is any trouble, report it immediately. Also, I want you to find out, the remaining few salt merchants have all those thugs who have been recruited as well as desperadoes." Where are you hiding on weekdays?"

"Yes, the villain respects your life." Huang Yishan agreed with all his mouth, suddenly he remembered something, and hurriedly said, "My lord said so, I remembered something. The reason why our eight families united to resist the government this time is all because of the head of the Zhao family. This old man Xian started."

"The villain's dog and Zhao Xian's second son are wine and meat friends. When we had a drink with him, I overheard him slipping the tongue. From what he said, Zhao Xian should be following the orders of the Zhen family in Jinling this time. of."

Hearing these words solved a doubt in Mu Xu's heart, because he had heard Lin Ruhai say before that these salt merchants rely on someone to back them up, and they also need to rely on them to transport the salt to various places for the imperial court.So when they were a little dissatisfied, these people would make such a fuss every now and then, but every time they only made a slight concession from the Xunyan Yushi Yamen, they would accept it as soon as it was good.It is rare to be so unwilling to compromise easily like this time, and now it seems that the Zhen family is behind it.

But then another even bigger doubt came to mind, why did the Zhen family do this?If he just wanted to pull Lin Ruhai from the position of Xunyan Yushi, it wouldn't be such a big move.Thinking of this, he asked Huang Yishan,
"Then the rest of the family just listen to what Zhao Xian said?"

"The reason why everyone listened to him at the beginning was to teach Lin Yandao a lesson. After all, Lin Yandao has suppressed us severely in the past two years." Huang Yishan carefully checked Mu Xu's face while speaking, and hesitantly said, "later…"

Looking at him like this, Mu Xu still couldn't figure it out. The next content must involve himself, and immediately said impatiently, "Just say what you have to say. Naturally, my lord will not blame you."

After hearing what he said, Huang Yishan continued, "Later, when everyone heard that the incident had alarmed the court, they were a little scared, so they decided to let it go. But then Zhao Xian said that the imperial envoy sent by the court this time is Master Lin's future son-in-law, he said that he will not give up easily when he arrives, so..."

"So he asked you to show me off?"

"That's right, my lord clearly sees that, that's exactly what happened." Huang Yishan nodded and said, "Everyone has no choice but to continue to listen to his ideas. But after the lord arrived, he didn't make any big moves. Many people planned to give him a gift. Give a generous gift, let’s forget about this matter, and there will be no more trouble.”

"But Zhao Xian still refused to give up. What's more, even Ma Yuan, the head of the Ma family, was on the sidelines, and they even talked to the Gong family. But everyone knows that if you continue to fight against the court, there will definitely be no good results. So I'm not going to listen to them."

After hearing Huang Yishan's explanation, Mu Xu was even more sure that the Zhen family had another purpose, first targeting Lin Ruhai, and now targeting himself.After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what the Zhen family's purpose was for doing this.Looking at Huang Yishan in front of him, maybe this person can help him find out the news.

So he asked, "Did Zhao Xian win you over?"

"It is true that he has wooed young people before, but how can a villain dare to fight against an adult." Huang Yishan is also a clever person. After he finished speaking, he understood, "What does your lord mean by asking me to pretend to agree and find out their truth?"

"That's right," Mu Xu said approvingly, "If he wins you over again, you should pretend to be in a difficult position. If the conditions he offers you are okay, then you should agree to him." Nothing, and continued, "How about I send you a master to accompany you to protect your safety?"

Huang Yishan naturally agreed with a grateful look.

Mu Xu saw that he was interested, and gave him a reassurance, "Don't worry, since I took your money and asked you to do things for me, I won't treat you badly, and you will benefit from it in the future."

After hearing this assurance, Huang Yishan thought that what Mu Xu said meant that he would keep his position as one of the top eight salt merchants in his family, so he had nothing to say about it.It wasn't until Mu Xu became impatient that he said goodbye.

Mu Xu didn't want to stay, but just gave Liu Xianglian a wink.Liu Xianglian naturally understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and sent Huang Yishan out in person.

After a while, Liu Xianglian turned around and came back, walked in the door and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have arranged two reliable men to follow him, one bright and one dark, to ensure that he will not betray."

"Brother Liu, I can rest assured." Mu Xu nodded, "I asked you to send someone to check which army nearby is suitable for use. Is there any result?"

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, does your lord know who is guarding Jinling?"

Mu Xu really didn't notice it, and immediately shook his head.

Liu Xianglian didn't give a shit about it, and said directly, "The Jinling garrison today is the cousin of Shenwu General Feng Tang, Ziying's cousin Feng Han, and their Feng family is also a generation of generals. When I come to Jinling, I will bring Ziying with me." I visited him by letter."

Mu Xu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then how many troops are under his command now, and what is their fighting strength?"

"General Feng Han is a bold man, and he manages the army quite strictly." Liu Xianglian explained, "Since Feng led the army and was transferred to Jinling three years ago to serve as the garrison, he has dismissed the old and weak, and filled in the vacant soldiers. Now he has [-] troops under his command. People and horses, the combat power is not bad."

"Okay." After hearing this, Mu Xu was overjoyed. After thinking about it, he decided, "Brother Liu, go back and make preparations. You will go back to Jinling tomorrow. I will write a letter later, and you must deliver it to General Feng personally." inside."

"Yes, I understand, I don't know if you have any other orders?"

Mu Xu pondered for a moment, "Let Jia Lian, Xue Pan, and Li He go with you, that's all, you go and prepare first. Remember to let Jia Lian come to my place, and I will personally explain to them."

Liu Xianglian went out after saying yes. After a while, Jia Lian came with Li He and Xue Pan.Mu Xu asked them to sit down, but seeing that both Jia Lian and Xue Pan were not in good spirits, Mu Xu felt a little displeased.

Xue Pan didn't notice anything, but Jia Lian saw that something was wrong with Mu Xu's face, so he hurriedly pulled Xue Pan away, cheered up and said, "If you have something to do, just tell me." Xue Pan also reacted and echoed.

Seeing them like this, Mu Xu said, "Go to Jinling with Liu Xianglian tomorrow, and help me find out what's going on with Zhen's family. It's best to buy or arrange some secret work to go to their house. If there is an emergency, let Li He came to make up his mind and report it to me later."

Fearing that they would cause trouble, he solemnly said, "Originally I wanted to go to Jinling in person, but now I have to wait for Beijing's order and I can't leave for a while, so I sent you. Especially you Xue Pan, if you don't mind Stay on the lower body, run to the fireworks place and drink too much horse urine, leak the matter, and I will make you the same as Zhen Shihong."

When Xue Pan heard this, he was very clever, and quickly promised to control himself.Only then did Mu Xu wave his hand to signal the two of them to leave first, and when the two walked out the door, he suddenly thought of Jia Yucun again, so he stopped the two of them again, "Then Jia Yucun has a lot to do with the two of you. Jinling, he will definitely contact you. Remember to pay more attention to this person to see if he has committed any crimes during his tenure in Jinling, and it is best to collect evidence."

After they left, Mu Xu said to Li He, "I originally wanted you to stay in Beijing and take care of some things for Feng Ziying. After I came to Jiangnan, I found out that it's no problem to let Liu Qianhu fight and kill. It's okay to deal with intelligence. Arranging to do these things in detail is embarrassing for him. So I want you to be stationed in Jinling in the future and be responsible for the intelligence work south of the Yangtze River."

Li He didn't refuse, and asked directly, "Then I don't know if I am responsible to Lord Feng, or to Lord Feng?"

Hearing his question, Mu Xu smiled and said, "Of course it's me. Report small things to him, and big things directly to me. After I return to Beijing, I will officially promote you to Qianhu, and I will leave the Jiangnan affairs to you, Liu Qianhu." I will transfer him back to Beijing."

"Yes, the humble job must live up to the entrustment of the adults."

"Well, you go."

When Li He left, Mu Xu couldn't help but sigh, there were still too few people available.Originally, he wanted to use Li He to check and balance Feng Ziying, but now it seems that he has to find another way.
