Chapter 1 There is no good banquet.

Jiankang, Wuyi Lane.

Jin Prime Minister Wang Maohong looked at the document slowly and took a long time to hand it over to Xie Taichuan. Then he closed his eyes and stroked his knees with his palms, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Wang Wendu, who was sitting in the lower head, was not as patient as him, and bowed: Prime Minister Wang!When the Song army entered the country, they regarded our Jin court as if nothing was available. How could they let it go?

Sitting next to him was Pushe Zhou Boren.

Today, the important officials in the court were discussing affairs in the prime minister's office, but Zhou Boren sat down and called out to drink wine. Before he started discussing affairs, he had drunk several glasses. He was holding the wine bottle and opened his eyes drunk and said in surprise: Is there anything in my imperial court in the Great Jin Dynasty now?

Wang Wendu was filled with anger.This Zhou Pushe was rarely known for his reputation and was in a high position, but he was always intoxicated by wine, making amazing words.He was the first person in the boat that day. Although the scenery is beautiful, he would not be able to be the master. If it weren't for the Great Jin Dynasty, he would have to be imprisoned and punished with his big mouth.

Sima Huan said indifferently: The Song army is just a way, why should the King Shizhong be disturbed?

The Song army set up camps in Jiangzhou and sieges many times. They had already started to attack the city ten days ago, so it was not a way to borrow the road!

Wang Wendu bowed to Wang Maohong again and said: Prime Minister Wang!Although Jiangzhou is small, it is also the land of our Great Jin Dynasty. How can the Song army be arrogant?This matter is related to the court's dignity, so please think twice!

Um...

Wang Maohong nodded repeatedly, as if he was very convinced of his words.

Xie Taichuan passed by and handed the document to Zhou Pushe.Zhou Boren didn't catch it all at once, and Wang Wendu snatched it. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it. One hundred thousand!

Xie Taichuan comforted: There are only more than a thousand bandits, so the Song army has suppressed the bandits.

Wang Wendu received the letter from Song State.Because Emperor Jin was seriously ill and could not attend court, all political affairs were handled by the prime minister, so important officials in the court gathered in the prime minister's mansion early in the morning.

The book says that the Song army was using Jiangzhou and unexpectedly encountered bandits. A commander in charge died. He is now suppressing bandits. He asked Jin State to forgive him.

Seeing Xie Taichuan's calm appearance, Wang Wendu secretly felt ashamed, and his demeanor was still inferior to that.

He calmed down for a moment and said reluctantly: Xiao Hou is in charge of Jiangning, where will there be bandits?Even if there were bandits, with Xiao Hou's courage, he would quell it. Why should the Song army Yue Zu replace him?

In the Battle of Xuanwu Lake, although Sima Huan chose to wait and see under the pressure of Wang and Xie's family, he had a friendship with Xiao Daoling. He heard this and said: Where does Xiao have troops?

Wang Wendu threw the document and said coldly: Grand Sima, don’t lie to me!Mr. Xiao left Jiankang that day and took away at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Stone City Navy Camp. Could it be that he was helpless in the face of more than a thousand bandits?

Don't quarrel, don't quarrel.

Wang Maohong coughed and opened his eyes.Shaoling Hou was in Ningzhou, and with his troops, it would be great if he could defend the river.As for the bandits in Jiangzhou, let the Song army worry.

Wang Wendu shouted: Prime Minister!

Xie Taichuan advised: Due to the bandits in Jiangzhou, the people have moved to Ningzhou. Now there are no soldiers under the command of Shaoling Hou, only more than 10,000 troops.Therefore, the Prime Minister ordered Youdu to take the soldiers of the Northern Palace to bring you peace of mind to Baoning Prefecture.The two countries of Jin and Song have always had good friendships, and clearing the bandits on the border may not be the business of our Jin family.Moreover, the book of the Song State Jia Taishi said that after the removal of the bandits in Jiangzhou, the cities and buildings in Jiangzhou were rebuilt by the Song State, and they dared not occupy the land of our Jin State.

Wang Wendu came from a noble family, how could he not hear what he meant?

Xie Taichuan’s words have a few meanings. One is that he only admits that Shaoling Hou had subordinates, that is, his family and private soldiers who depended on his master, rather than the formal army recruited by the court.

The second is the movement of the Northern Mansion soldiers, which is said to be Wuyou in Baoning Prefecture, but in fact it is to control the situation.

The third meaning is to imply that it is not hesitant to destroy Jiangzhou City.

Wang Wendu finally understood that Prime Minister Wang and Xie Taichuan were not concerned about the entry of the Song army, and they actually vacated the land in Jiangzhou for the Song army to fight with the bandits.

In addition to being shocked, Wang Wendu blurted out: Who is that group of bandits?

Who else can be there?

It was Zhou Pushe who spoke. He drank all the wine in the bottle in one gulp and then exhaled.Yue Wumu, the remnant of Xingyue Lake.

With a bang, the small bit at Wang Wendu's elbow fell to the ground.

Cheng Zongyang came from the Fuling River, and there were already carriages waiting by the river. The coachman was wearing a straw hat and looked familiar.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care either, so he stuffed the bitch wrapped in bed into the car, rode a horse and returned to the city.

It was already past the Shen period, and the Chengji Grain Store was not closed yet, and the water sign in front of the door marked the price of 400 copper baht per stone.

Several large trucks filled with grain were parked below the steps, and Qi Yuan was negotiating the price in the store with a customer.

Cheng Zongyang made a gesture to him, asking him to continue talking about business and enter the yard through the side door.

There was a pile of newly purchased food in the yard.Yi Biao was guarding the warehouse where the money was placed. He pulled a bench and sat in front of the door. When he saw Cheng Zongyang, he just nodded and replied to his safety, but did not get up.

Qin Hui came out and said: I thought the young master would have come back yesterday, but I waited until today.

Cheng Zongyang said as he walked: Chang Bo told me on the road.Is the situation in Wang Tuanlian there not good?What is the saying now?

Qin Hui smiled bitterly and said: It’s because there is no explanation, and I feel that the situation is not good.Young Master Wang accidentally burned his clothes and was splashed with lamp oil by his servants, which caused a disaster. Hundreds of people in front of the gate of Xiangzhu Temple could see clearly, so Wang Tuanlian naturally could not entrust his son.But the reason why Young Master Wang had an accident was the beautiful maid next to the young master. Wang Tuanlian could not forgive him in public, and it was necessary to take his anger in secret...

As he said that, Qin Hui stopped.

Cheng Zongyang saw something strange.how?He wants to cause trouble for me?

I privately asked Wang Tuanlian’s housekeeper, and he revealed in his words that Wang Tuanlian knew that it was the young master who teased the young master and had an accident, so he got furious at home.

Get angry at Young Master Wang?

Qin Hui shook his head.He got angry at the young master.The housekeeper said that if he caused such a disaster for a slave, he would just kill him directly. The young master protected his shortcomings so much that he didn't know what happened.If the young master is reluctant to kill him, he will be sent to the mansion to serve the young master. If the matter is settled, he will be returned to the young master.

Cheng Zongyang was furious.fart!

Qin Hui said calmly: I know that the young master will definitely refuse.The market opened yesterday, and I bought two outstanding maids with a man. The young master went to the banquet tomorrow, so I sent the person.

Cheng Zongyang thought to himself: Why not give him Bitch Zhuo!With the tricks of bitch Zhuo, he would kill that kid in just two days!But Cheng Zongyang just thought about this and did not take it seriously.

It is not bad to settle things. If Wang Tuanlian takes over, he will not provoke him in the future and he will not need to mention the matter of pulling him into the water.

yes.

Qin Hui paused and said: There is another thing that Captain Meng sent someone to come.

Cheng Zongyang immediately stood up, where?What happened?

Qin Hui said: It’s not a big deal. It was Pengyi Society’s carriage and horses who arrived in Yunzhou and opened a semicolon. They just rented the lower shop yesterday and more than a dozen people came.

Who is coming?

The coachman walked in and took off his hat.Cheng Zongyang looked for a while before finding a familiar trace from the outline of his eyebrows and shouting: Yu Ziyuan!Why is it you!

Major Cheng.

Yu Ziyuan gave a tribute and said with a smile: Is the disguise technique that I am doing well?

When will I not recognize a girl when I put on makeup? That's what I can do.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Jiangzhou can't wait to cut it into two people alone. Why is Boss Meng willing to send you here?

I was the only one who came, and the rest were brothers transferred from other branches.

Yu Ziyuan smiled and said: Now that Yunzhou is doing well, I can change the signature of Yunzhou carriage and horse store to make some money.

Cheng Zongyang understood as soon as he heard this, Pengyi Society was targeted by Song State, and most of the old subordinates of Xingyue Lake in the society went to Jiangzhou.

Meng Feiqing was afraid that his staff would not be enough, so he secretly sent someone to change his name and opened a branch in Yunzhou. First, it was to facilitate his own actions, and secondly, it was to arrange a way out for himself.

If I had thought that Boss Meng was too careful in the past, now I have made a grudge with Wang Tuan arranged by the Yun family, and I would admire Meng Feiqing's prudence.

With these powerful arm helps, I have more confidence. Even if I turn against Wang Tuan, I will run away with Jin Zhuo and advise them to catch up.

The shop was originally only enough for five or six people to live in, but Xiao Zi and Meng Niang were already in her room.Now there are Zhuo Yunjun and Shen Wanying, so where can I live?

Shen Wanying was fine, but that bitch Zhuo Yunjun always allowed her to leave her sight and she must not put her outside.

It was not the time to find a house, so Cheng Zongyang asked them to work on the floor and then pulled a curtain in the room.

It is not to separate the two of them, but to avoid being seen outside.

The two beautiful maids bought by Qin Hui were left at Yaren's place and were prepared to take them directly when they went to the banquet tomorrow.

Cheng Zongyang made up his mind and didn't go to see it, so as not to feel soft-hearted.

If the battle in Jiangzhou is delayed by the Wang Tuan Zheng, the death and injury will be his brothers.

I still know which one is more important.

After dinner, Cheng Zongyang sat down and started to look at the account books for the past two days.The porridge shed in the south of the city and the praise of the prefect Teng Fu brought him a lot of convenience.

Everyone in Yunzhou knows that Chengji Grain Store's owner is kind and righteous. The price of collecting grain is much higher than that elsewhere. Buying grain is a good thing for giving porridge and doing good deeds. Several wealthy families have come to sell grain, and have collected nearly 3,000 stones in the past two days.

The grain piled up in the yard is not that it is too late to enter the warehouse, but that the warehouse is full and can only be piled up in the yard.

These three thousand stones of grain were collected at the price of 400 copper zhu, and a total of nearly 600 gold zhu was used.

The biggest expense was 10,000 shi of grain from Zhou Mingye, the boss of Richangxing.

It was originally agreed to add 10% within ten days; in order to make this profit, Zhou Mingye was afraid that the year would not pass. Yesterday, news came that he had prepared the goods and was just waiting for transportation.

As for the price, if you settle in gold baht, you will only charge 1,900 pieces.

Cheng Zongyang used his pen to clean his ears.I suddenly had nearly 20,000 stones of grain in my hand, and I used nearly 3,000 gold coins.

The 20,000 s of grain were sold for more than 1,000 tons. If they were moved to the grain shop, everyone would have to sleep on the grain.If it is too silly to transport it directly from the Fuling River, you must find a way to hide it.

Because there were not enough rooms, I had to find a warehouse as an office.

Compared to the modern office I have been in before, this warehouse, which does not even have windows, looks shabby, and the wooden box used as seats is far less comfortable than leather seats.

But when Cheng Zongyang thought of the 200 kilograms of gold sitting under his butt, he felt very at ease - the weight alone was overwhelming with any luxurious seat in the world, which was so luxurious.

As for the box in the other corner of the room, there were a batch of fireworks brought from Jiangzhou.One is gold jam, the other is fireworks. Whether the situation can be opened in Yunzhou depends on the power of these two things.

Cheng Zongyang absent-mindedly turned the wick. While he was thinking, a soft voice came from outside the courtyard.

Amitabha.

Cheng Zongyang stopped his pen, listened to Feng Yuan rushing his shoes, kicking and running over, and opened the door and said: Wuliang Tianzun!

Then he said: Hello, Master, this is the territory of our Taoist people. If you want to beg for alms, it will be too late, and secondly, you knocked on the wrong door.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and smiled.All major sects regard themselves as Taoism, and Feng Yuan’s magic is not very good. The Pingshan Sect has not gained much attention from Taoism, but he spares no effort to safeguard the interests of Taoism.

The nun was not angry and said softly: The nun came from Xiangzhu Temple and wanted to see your master.

When Cheng Zongyang heard about Xiangzhu Temple, he couldn't help but scream in his heart.I stole a bamboo and was actually brought to me by the owner.

Feng Yuan said: My son doesn’t believe this.Don’t think that it is your credit for our Chengtouer setting up a shed and serving porridge. Our Chengtouer is born with kindness and has nothing to do with your Buddhism.You know the Hirayama Sect?Do you know that the one who shared the rice in the porridge shang today is our great master of Pingshan Sect?You know...

My husband Cheng and I are old acquaintances.

A sentence kept Feng Yuan's talk back.After a while, Feng Yuan said: Too Cheng, there is a nun outside who said he is looking for you!

Cheng Zongyang sighed, put down his pen, rubbed his face first, and then went out with a smile.

A nun in her forties stood outside the door with soft eyebrows, wearing a nun hat on her head, a whisk in her hands, and a string of Buddhist beads hanging on her chest. She didn't look like any valuable wood.

Cheng Zongyang felt relieved when he saw that the young nun he ran into in Guanyin Hall did not follow him.She had no witnesses and refused to admit her guilt. She had no choice but to do so.

Cheng Zongyang bowed first and said hypocritically: Is the master here to beg for alms?The person who came Ah, took two strings of money to serve him to the Master.

Poppin did not come to beg for alms.

That's Huazhai?Oh, we don’t avoid meat here, there is no vegetarian food.The tea is plain, I don’t know the teacher…

The poor nun did not come for the purpose of transforming the vegetarian food.

The nun put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and then said: "The nun Ciyin came for the Xiangzhu Temple."

It turned out to be Master Ciyin.It’s a coincidence that I went to Guizhou to sauna on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Cheng Zongyang pretended to be stupid and said: The temple is really effective. I heard that Vajra would fall down to suppress the evil people by themselves - but this matter has nothing to do with me.

Ciyin said with kind eyes: Vajra shows saints, suppresses evil and drives away evil spirits, and the young master is seeing it, which is a blessing.But Pomni did not come for this matter.

That's the matter with Xiangzhu. The dead nun is so sure, let's talk about her majesty first.Cheng Zongyang picked up his shoulders, and the master said just now that he was an old acquaintance with me - it seems that we have never met before, right?

Ciyin said lightly: If not, how can you shut up your noble?

Cheng Zongyang glanced at Nun Ciyin a few times. I remember that monks don’t lie, right?

Amitabha Buddha is a noble person who is easy to argue. He can save some verbal talk. I believe the Buddha will not blame him.

As she said that, she walked towards the courtyard with her own care and said: "The monks don't need much. The young master just said that there is vegetarian tea, so let's have a cup of vegetarian tea. Since there is no vegetarian tea in the Sudian Mansion, the young master doesn't have to worry about it."

The nun did not regard herself as an outsider at all, so Cheng Zongyang had to run back to bring tea and ask Ciyin to sit in the yard. While winking at Yi Biao, he asked him to avoid it in the warehouse.

Since the master was not begging for alms and veterinary food, it was not because he had gone to the temple to burn incense. I wonder what he was looking for so late?

Ciyin looked at the tea.No cake tea?

The cup is made of tea that I am used to drinking, but I didn’t expect that a nun is so picky and needs tea cakes.I won't give you any drinks!

No.

oh……

Ciyin took a sip and put down the cup and looked around.This yard is not big.

It's much smaller than Guishi, haha...

Cheng Zongyang was haha, and Ciyin sighed.

Tan Yue didn't know that there were big difficulties.The temple is too big, and some sluts are inevitably taking the opportunity to go in and out.I, a nun who became a monk, couldn't come forward and care. Sometimes thieves are inevitable in and out.

Cheng Zongyang put down his cup.Master, are you scolding me in person?

Ciyin said in surprise: I mean the young master of Wang Tuan Lianjia, where did the young master think?

Cheng Zongyang cursed in his heart, and simply said: Not bad!I took your bamboo, but the four elements of monks were empty, and they also cut their flesh and feed the tiger. Is it necessary to come to the door for a bamboo?I have thrown away that fragrant bamboo. If the master is unhappy, how about I pay you to practice Vajra?

Ci Yin smiled and said with his hands together: Amitabha.The young master is kind, and I thank you very much.

However, Pomni did not come for fragrant bamboo.

Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a while, and then said for a while: Your door has entered, you have drunk tea, and you have accepted it with a smile on your way to rebuild the Vajra. Now he said it was not for this matter, so why did you come?

The little disciple Jingshan lost a Buddhist bead and asked the young master to give it back.

The Buddhist bead of the golden star and red sandalwood - Cheng Zongyang let out a cry in his heart.This nun is really stingy and runs to the door for a Buddhist bead.

The master said Ah too early!Is it necessary to go around such a big circle?

Ciyin lowered her eyebrows and said with her eyes straight: Poor Niu can't. If she had said it too early, I'm afraid the young master would not recognize it.

Cheng Zongyang choked.If she wants Buddhist beads directly, she might really refuse to accept it.After all, I was guilty and couldn't hold back, so I leaked the bottom of it first.

It was too late to say anything at this moment, so Cheng Zongyang had no choice but to say: Wait.

Cheng Zongyang went back to his room and took out the Buddhist bead from his backpack, rolled his eyes at Xiao Zi, and then pinched Zhuo Yunjun's body, then came out and handed it to the nun.

Ciyin smiles with her eyes and inherits love.

She took the Buddhist beads, put them in her sleeves, stood up, and put them in her palms.

Pomni will not disturb you today.Tan Yueduo is also worried about the Vajra statue in the temple.If the young master is busy, the poor nun will come again tomorrow. Please stay, please stay.

Cheng Zongyang almost vomited blood. The thief had cheated him. If he didn't build a Vajra statue for Xiangzhu Temple, she would come to disturb him every day.Damn, you've smashed hundreds of stones of food out right away.

Cheng Zongyang said as he walked: Master, I will go to your temple in two days, so you must not use it.How much does it cost to practice the Vajra? If you offer a price, I will hand it over to you a lot of money.

Tan Yue must have misunderstood. Pomni just put a list in Guanyin Hall, and the matter of repairing Buddha statues in the temple has nothing to do with Pomni.Besides, the poor nun is a monk, how can he get copper coins and get a stinking smell of copper?You know, the bowl used by Pomni is still from purple gold.

...You want gold baht!

Gold and silver are both seven treasures of Buddhism, so it is naturally not taboo for the poor nun.Since the young master has a great kindness and is willing to rebuild the golden body with the golden zhu, the nun will accept it on his behalf. I think the senior brothers who come to the temple will not be surprised.

Ciyin stopped at the door, turned around, and bowed politely: Young Master just said that there are two strings of money?

Monks should be content with their hardships.

I was afraid it was a small cursor, and I even pointed out that I wanted to be a good person!Cheng Zongyang said: All the people in a bunch are copper baht!Isn’t the master afraid of the smell of money?

Ciyin said in a good manner: What the young master said is, then change it to two strings of silver zhu.

The two strings of copper zhu and two strings of silver zhu are a hundred times different. The thief nun can really open his mouth!

Cheng Zongyang took out more than a dozen silver coins with a dark face.That's all!

It seemed that when he saw Cheng Zongyang's face was not good, Ciyin was no longer picky, so he took it and put it in his sleeve, and said, "Amitabha, the young master stays and make good relationships again in the future."

Good fate is a ghost!Cheng Zongyang slapped the door and turned around and shouted: Damn girl!Where is that fragrant bamboo?I'm going to make it a toilet brush!

A ear room in the inner courtyard opened the door, but Lin Qingpu waved to him.

The shop was not enough. Qi Yuan and Feng Yuan lived in one room, Yi Biao, Ao Run and Wu Sangui were squeezed in one room. Lin Qingpu's water mirror technique needed a quiet room. He originally lived alone, but now he had to live in the same room with Qin Hui when he had more people.

At this moment, the traitors went out for a walk, and 99% of them went to Changping Warehouse to check in, and only Lin Qingpu was alone in the house.

After covering up the door, Lin Qingpu said: Is the master’s name “Ciyin”?

Do you know each other?

I just heard of it.

Lin Qingpu said: It is said that Ciyin comes from Yuyin Temple, and is also a branch of the ten directions of the jungle. She has traveled around the world and begged for alms everywhere for many years, but she didn't expect to hold a order at Xiangzhu Temple.

Coming from the jungle of ten directions?This thief was born from the eyes of money, and he was so good at making money.

Lin Qingpu said: Master Ciyin made a great wish more than ten years ago to build a Guanyin practice courtyard.

No wonder.It costs a lot of money to build a Guanyin Temple, and the old nun may not be able to build it even if she died.

Lin Qingpu coughed.Master Ciyin begs for alms with the name of Yuyin Temple. The donors in the world have given up on the face of the ten directions of the jungle, and they have earned enough money to build the Guanyin Academy in a few years.Master Ciyin once said that after the completion of Guanyin Academy, she would erect a monument for the donor to pass on the world. As a result, she had a good fortune. One was left with no temple or the other was left with the inscription, and the donation disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a while and shouted: Is this dead nun a liar?

Lin Qingpu said: There are rumors in the world, but the inside story is not clear.Master Ciyin took the donation and left it. He didn't hear the news for several years, but he didn't expect to see him here.

Cheng Zongyang remembered the finger power of the little nun who shot out Buddhist beads. With this hand alone, if he really wanted to fight, he might not be able to gain an advantage.

Could it be that Ciyin, the thief, is not as good as her apprentice?Do you have to make a living by cheating?

A liar?

After hearing him, Xiao Zi's eyes immediately lit up and she smiled and said: People like liars the most.

Do you like to cheat those scammers?

It’s not fun to deceive fools at all, but it’s fun to deceive those fools who are smart.

Xiao Zi said with anticipation: I haven’t cheated on a nun yet. It can drive money and deceive sex. I feel very happy when I think about it.

...The grave of the dead nun’s ancestor must be emitting blue smoke at this moment.

Cheng Zongyang was tired for a few days and was going to the banquet where Wang Tuan was practicing tomorrow. He was not in the mood to mess with Zhuo Yunjun and his disciples. He just teased Xiao Zi for a while, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

The north wind blew early the next morning, and the weather became colder.Cheng Zongyang came out wearing a black cloak, and the Ouyishe carriage had already stopped in front of the door.

With the carriages and horses of Pengyishe, it is much easier to go out.Cheng Zongyang took Qi Yuan and Feng Yuan to Wang Tuanlian's mansion in the south of the city.

Qi Yuan was in charge of the grain shop. If he left Yunzhou, he would take care of everything. Of course, he would be indispensable for the banquet he went to the royal group to practice this time.

Feng Yuan is half a burn doctor. This time he went to see Young Master Wang's injuries.Qin Hui went to Yaren to pick up the two newly bought beautiful maids and secretly sent them to the Wang's house.

Wang Tuanlian's house is outside the city. He is a local snake in Yingzhou. He has been in business for many years and his house covers a wide area. The two black painted doors are larger than those in Jingxi County. However, the door is closed at this moment, and only a corner door is opened in the side yard for people to enter and exit.

Today, all the merchants in the city were coming. To put it nicely, they came to the banquet; to put it bluntly, they were all here to show filial piety to Wang Tuanlian, and it was good to be able to pass the corner gate.

Cheng Zongyang went in and saw Sun Yixuan. The Yun family's hidden stake in Yunzhou winked at him and pretended to go into the toilet casually.

The incident happened, the young master's companion had already told me.Wang Tuanlian has always been repaid for his grudges, but this time he may not be able to stop.

Sun Yixuan whispered: If the young master wants to justify this matter, he must first give up the beautiful maid to discuss.

Cheng Zongyang refused.This matter will never be mentioned again.

Sun Yixuan nodded.Then I cut off my connection with Wang Tuanlian.Although the young master is doing legitimate business, please be more careful.

Cheng Zongyang came out of the toilet, Feng Yuan had already gone to the inner house to see Young Master Wang's injuries, and Qi Yuan was guarding outside.

Have you found a seat?

There, the ninth seat in the courtyard.

Wang Tuanlian has a lot of customers, and he can't even sit in the room, so he has to put it in the yard.

There were only three seats in the hall, and the rest were all in the yard.The seats are not ranked according to their status or business size, but only depend on the amount of gifts given.The ones given are more seated as the chief, and the fewest seats are less seated as the last seat.

Qi Yuan whispered: Merchants are also concerned about face. Some of them don’t give enough gifts and are driven to the last seat or yard to sit. On the Dragon Boat Festival, they give gifts twice as much as possible just to sit in a good seat.

This Wang Tuanlian is good at doing business.

Cheng Zongyang sneered: This business is a bit domineering.

As soon as Cheng Zongyang found his seat, a servant next to him who had been waiting for a long time said: Is it Boss Cheng?

The master asked Boss Cheng to sit in the hall.

Hearing this greeting, many people around him looked over, envious, sneered, sympathized, and sympathized... all kinds of eyes.

Cheng Zongyang bowed in circles and said with a smile: Wang Tuanlian has a life, and he dare not refuse.I offended you, and I invite you to have tea another day.

Everyone bowed their fists and returned the salute. As soon as they left, there were many discussions behind them.Cheng Zongyang ignored it and found that he was in the chief position when he arrived in the hall.

Cheng Zongyang knew that the meal was not delicious, so he bowed to everyone and sat down to wait for Wang Tuanlian to come forward.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came in. He was in his forties or fifties, with a burly figure, wearing a black cocoon silk robe, and two lying silk eyebrows. He could not tell anything unusual about his eyes.

The guests in and under the hall stood up and said hello to the host.Wang Tuanlian just hugged his fists: I have something to do at home these days, so I'm a little slower.

As he said that the family next to him delivered wine and food, which were all ordinary things and were not worth much money.

The guests who came were not for food and drinks. They all said: How much kindness the young people have received this year? They should have invited a group training session, but they came to disturb me. I'm so polite.

After three rounds of wine, Wang Tuanlian started to toast.The first few were all big merchants in the city. They knew Wang Tuanlian's rules and were careful to sue, and then took a few thanks and took a few words to drink.

Cheng Zongyang stood up.Cheng Zongyang, a grain merchant, met Wang Tuanlian.

Wang Tuanlian poured a full cup and said lightly: Boss Cheng is busy with work and has to meet today. You must drink a few more cups.

Cheng Zongyang usually wears a common clothes, but today he wears a cloak to cover up the two quick knives tucked behind his waist.

He took the wine glass and drank it: He is a newcomer and does not understand the rules. He also asked Wang Tuanlian to give him more advice.

Boss Cheng set up a shed to serve porridge, and even the magistrate praised it. How could Wang dare to give advice?please.

Cheng Zongyang drank three cups in a row, and Wang Tuanlian had to pour it again. He held the cup with one hand and smiled and said: Drink three cups in a row. If you drink again, you will make the jokes in the seat that you are not polite.

Wang Tuanlian laughed.The wine I toasted is etiquette. Although Mr. Cheng relaxed the amount and a few glasses of thin wine, Wang could still afford it.

There were several old merchants on the table who were all energetic. Listening to the verbal confrontation between the two sides, they all dressed up as Bodhisattvas in the temple without saying a word.

Wang Tuanlian is indeed a ruthless character. He said this ruthlessly. The more he did, the less he could not drink it.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Let the group practice to toast, it is already a transgression. It is better to let the group practice a few cups.

Wang Tuanlian laughed to the sky and stopped the laughter for a while.This is why Boss Cheng doesn’t understand the rules.Today is Wang’s treat, and Boss Cheng is a guest. How can he ask Boss Cheng to come to toast?

Although he is a guest, he is full of intentions.Please don’t let your heart down.

Wang Tuanlian stared at him with a pot, as if judging how sincere he was.The hall was silent. In the silence, a family member came over and said a few words in Wang Tuanlian's ear.

Wang Tuanlian put down the wine pot, said, "I lost my companionship, and then went into the inner room."

Cheng Zongyang didn't stand up, and sat down and ate the food slowly.Zhou Mingye, who was sitting in Richang, quietly gave him a thumbs up, praising him for being calm and composed by Wang Tuanlian.

Cheng Zongyang knew that Qin Hui had sent the person here, so Wang Tuanlian went in to see the gift.The two beautiful maids chosen by Qin Hui spent a lot of money on him. If Wang Tuanlian was satisfied, the matter would be revealed.

More than a moment later, Wang Tuanlian came in with a breeze on his face, repeatedly accused him of guilt, and then took the wine pot, but this time he toasted him down the road.

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief, ate some food casually and said goodbye.Wang Tuanlian didn’t try to keep him, but said: Come on, please send Boss Cheng off for me!

When Cheng Zongyang left the yard, he saw Qi Yuan, Qin Hui, Feng Yuan and Yu Ziyuan gathering together to wait for him, his face looking unusual and ugly.

Cheng Zongyang's heart sank.What's wrong?

Qi Yuandao: Donald Cheng, if you don’t come out, we may have to go in and grab people.

What went wrong?Sure, didn’t you give two beautiful maids to the king?

Given.

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: Wang Tuanlian took the two beautiful maids to see Young Master Wang, and asked Ming that he didn't see him in the temple that day, so he was beaten to death on the spot.

Cheng Zong clenched his teeth.Wang Tuan was full of spring breeze when he came out of training. Who knew that he had just killed two innocent women in the back house, and he was still so vague.

Feng Yuan said: I have seen it with my own eyes for Mr. Wang.Wang Tuanlian killed two beautiful maids with a stick, and then told the young master, "What's the point of being a business maid?"If I don’t know the truth, even the businesswoman and wife will take him to serve the young master - Touer Cheng, I just eavesdropped on the side and cannot be accurate.

What eavesdropping, he said to me!

Cheng Zongyang's murderous intent was rising.If Wang Tuanlian is not eliminated, he will no longer have to do his own food business.

Yu Ziyuan was just here and didn't know much about the situation. However, he could guess a little from everyone's expressions and whispered: Young Master...

Cheng Zongyang understood what Yu Ziyuan meant.

With his current strength, it is not difficult to kill the Wang surnamed Wang, but now everyone in the city knows that he has a grudge with Wang Tuanlian. Wang Tuanlian was killed for no reason, and the first person he suspected was himself.

Don't rush for now.

Cheng Zongyang said: Let’s start with Teng Magistrate. Wang Tuanlian’s road has been blocked.

yes.

Tell Changbo to start transporting grain to Jingxi.Ziyuan, you have to work hard for this matter.

yes.

Fourth, Boss Sun, please tell me about it. There is no need to say more about the details, just say that we are going to take another way.

Several people agreed.Cheng Zongyang said: Feng Dafa, how is that little bastard injured?Can you survive the spring?

Young Master Wang was only hurting his head and face. I applied medicine to him, and his life was worry-free. However, the one he was smashed and his bones were severely damaged. Seven or eight bones were broken. Even if he could save his life, he would be a useless person.

Everyone, be more alert.

Cheng Zongyang said with a cold face: We are foreign guests, so we will never do anything if we can do it, but whoever dares to do it will be up to us to end it!
