Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 75 Tangning's Ambition
Knowing that Tang Zongbing was the cowardly scholar of the original Tang Mansion, the whole Chaozhou Mansion was involved with the Tang Mansion, and it can be said that there was a lot of panic.

They hid and fled one by one, for fear of being retaliated by Tangning who had soldiers in his hands.

Only Cheng Gong couldn't bear to give up his family business. After arranging his wife and children to leave, he stayed alone, just to fight for a chance.

The reason why she dared to do this was because from Tangning's reputation, she was not a bloodthirsty person, and she was very kind to ordinary people.

Cheng Gong thought he hadn't done anything harmful to the Tang family back then, so he dared to take the risk.

But this didn't mean that he wasn't worried. He knew that if he stayed in Fucheng, he would have to meet Tangning directly, and he had been anxiously waiting for this day to come.

He originally thought that after Tangning entered the city, the first thing she would do was to take back the Tang family's property in Fucheng, but he didn't expect that after a few days, it was still calm.

Until today, when someone sent an invitation letter on Tangning's behalf, he was still a little suspicious, because he thought about it, now that the entire Chaozhou Prefecture is dominated by Tangning, seeing him as a small businessman, is there still a need for an invitation letter?

It's just that such a thing can only be believed in its existence, not in its non-existence, so I still made some preparations.

It wasn't until seeing Tang Ning and the others with his own eyes that he believed that all this was true. After seeing Tang Ning's attitude towards the two of them, the original worry in his heart suddenly eased a lot.

"Master Tang, please come inside." After Cheng Gong stood up, he hurriedly bowed to invite him.

Tangning nodded, and extended her hand to invite her.

Song Yunwan and Xiaohuan brought a few soldiers into the mansion, while Huang Dabiao and others stood guard outside.

Several soldiers stayed in the courtyard, Tangning, Song Yunwan and Xiaohuan followed Cheng Gong into the main room.

Cheng Gong politely asked Tangning and the others to sit down. Tangning sat down and motioned for Xiaohuan to sit down, but Song Yunwan, the company commander of the security guard, only wanted to stand. This was her duty.

Wang Shoucheng immediately arranged for someone to prepare tea, but Tangning did not intend to move, nor did he speak immediately.

Cheng Gong and Wang Shoucheng felt restless.

It was Cheng Gong who gritted his teeth, stood up and knelt down, and said proactively, "Master Tang, I, Cheng Gong, have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, and wantonly tamper with the Tang family's property. I deserve death."

"I also ask Mr. Tang to have a large amount, and the villain is willing to double the compensation to Mr. Tang..."

Wang Shoucheng also quickly knelt down.

Tangning seemed to come back to her senses, and said with a chuckle, "The Wu family, the Zhang family, and the Li family have all escaped from Chaozhou City. Why didn't Boss Cheng escape? Is it because I, Tangning, didn't give me enough time?"

Cheng Gong was taken aback for a moment, and then cautiously replied: "Now, in the whole of Guangdong, Fujian, and even the whole of Daming, how many people still don't know Mr. Tang? If I want to escape, where can I escape?"

"I am the Patriarch of the Cheng Family. Everything is decided by me, Cheng Gong. If Master Tang wants to punish him, he will punish me alone, and please Master Tang not to embarrass others."

Tangning looked at Cheng Gong meaningfully, and said, "Do you all think that when I return to Fucheng this time, I, Tangning, will definitely come to exact revenge?"

Cheng Gong was startled, and hurriedly leaned over, and said with sincerity and fear: "Master Tang, forgive me, the villain dare not think so delusional."

"Really? But I heard that your family has already been transferred away by you."

Hearing this, Cheng Gong and Wang Shoucheng bowed their heads even lower, and dared not speak again.

After pondering for a while, Tangning sighed softly, "Cheng Gong, Cheng Gong, you underestimate me, Tangning. If I, Tangning, were really so eager to take personal revenge, do you think you have time to escape?"

"Even if you escaped from the Chaozhou government, so what? I, Tang, only need a letter, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi must honestly send people here."

"Yes, yes. Lord Tang, spare your life, Lord Tang, spare your life, everything is the villain's fault, it is the villain's fault, the villain is willing to accept any punishment..."

Regarding what Tang Ning said, Cheng Gong didn't dare to have the slightest doubt. He had heard of this Tang Zongbing's unpredictable ability for a long time.

Moreover, this General Soldier of Tang was specially appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to Huanggang, which shows the importance His Majesty attaches to Master Tang.

They are businessmen with no status, and people with status like Mr. Tang can't do whatever they want.

Tangning said calmly, "Although I, Tangning, am not a saint, I can still reason."

"If the Zhang family, Li family, and Wu family are still in the prefecture, I, Tangning, can't say that I will strip them of their skins. After all, when they robbed my Tang family's property, they used many disgraceful methods."

"However, your Cheng Gong is different. You are still very principled in doing business."

"Although you also took away some property from our Tang family, you relied on your own business acumen. I, Tangning, are inferior in skills. If I lose, I will lose. There is nothing I can't afford to lose."

"So from the very beginning, I, Tangning, didn't intend to trouble your Cheng family."

After hearing this, the two of them immediately kowtowed their heads and said in gratitude, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for your magnanimity."

"Both, please get up."

Both of them raised their heads cautiously, and when they saw Tang Ning making another gesture towards them, they stood up fearfully.

Tangning stretched out her hand again and said, "Boss Cheng, sit down. I'm here today. I have something important to discuss with you."

Cheng Gong said hastily: "Master Tang, but according to the order, as long as the villain can do it, he will definitely die."

Tangning smiled and said, "You're a businessman, why would I want you to die?"

Cheng Gong smiled awkwardly.

Tangning raised her eyes to look around, and then said with a sigh, "When I left Fucheng, the Cheng family was not what it is now. In just half a year, three more shops have been added."

"As soon as the war was over, the business of Cheng's shop became more and more prosperous. This is probably the reason why you, Boss Cheng, don't want to leave Fucheng."

"You man, you don't want your life if you want money."

Cheng Gong smiled awkwardly again, unable to answer.

Tangning changed the subject immediately, and said, "However, I admire your character. The current situation is chaotic, and business is not easy to do. If you need ability, you also need enough courage."

"So, I'm here today."

Cheng Gong knew that Tangning was going to talk about something serious, so he immediately listened respectfully.

"Boss Cheng, have you ever heard of the red-haired ghost in Dayuan?"

Cheng Gong nodded quickly and said, "I've heard of it, and have done business with them."

"Then how much does Boss Cheng know about them?"

Cheng Gong pondered for a while, and said: "Those red-haired ghosts are very good at doing business, and they are also merchants and robbers. Many of their things are forcibly plundered, almost without money."

"Especially the spices, pepper, deerskin, antlers, etc. looted from Nanyang, we have a great demand in Ming Dynasty, so they are very popular and can be sold at a good price."

"However, silk, porcelain, tea, etc. from our Ming Dynasty are also what they need, but they use various means to suppress the price. I heard that after they ship it back, the price will increase several times, or even ten times."

"They control the route to Nanyang. Every time we businessmen go to Nanyang to do business, we risk our lives."

"Because those red-haired ghosts don't talk about principles. They may change from businessmen to pirates at any time."

"Hey, only someone with status and strength like Zheng Zhilong can frighten them."

"We small businessmen, if we want to get something from them, it's hard."
