Chapter 164 Black Eat Black

(PS: The second update will be delivered. Continue to ask for a monthly pass.)
"Master Futai, please spare me, please forgive me!" Young Master Zhang was so cruel that he was going to bury the insider alive without explanation. Wang Dengku was completely frightened, struggling and kowtowed, "Master Futai, Lord Futai, Don't kill me, don't kill me! Caomin is still useful to you, still useful! You leave Caomin with a dog's life, and Caomin will come in handy!"

"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm sorry." Young Master Zhang said darkly: "I blame you for being careless and overhearing the secret of this official. This official has to do this for the sake of my own head and glory and wealth. There, remember not to sue me."

"Master Futai, silver, I can give you silver!" Wang Dengku didn't care about being stingy anymore, and opened his mouth to buy his life with silver.But Young Master Zhang didn’t care about his collusion with the supervising army to steal and sell arms, so he didn’t care. He just waved Zhang Shitou and others to stuff Wang Dengku’s mouth with cloth. Getting ready, he hurriedly shouted: "Fan Yongdou! Fan Yongdou! Master Futai, Caomin can help you bring down Fan Laoxi! Caomin has evidence against Fan Laoxi!"

"Wait!" Young Master Zhang finally withdrew his order, and shouted to his confidants: "You all go out, you stay with Shitou." The confidantes left the room according to the order, and Young Master Zhang squatted until he was pressed down by Zhang Shitou. In front of Wang Dengku who was on the ground, he stared into Wang Dengku's eyes and asked, "How do you know that I want to deal with Fan Yongdou?"

"Lord Futai, Caomin just heard that Eunuch Fu intends to make a deal with someone, and you want to stop it. Caomin also inquired secretly, and found out that the person who intends to make a deal with Eunuch Fu is Fan Yongdou." Wang Dengku replied with a mournful face.Young Master Zhang patted Wang Dengku's thin old face, and said with a sneer, "You're so smart, you guessed that I don't like Fan Yongdou, skipped me and directly traded with the old eunuch Fu, tell me, you plan to help me deal with Fan Yongdou, and take this The business has been messed up."

"Caomin has evidence of Fan Yongdou's tax evasion, tax evasion, and smuggling of prohibited items." Wang Dengku, whose buttocks were also dirty, did not dare to say that Fan Yongdou had a connection with Jiannu, but only picked things that had weight and would not hurt himself and said, "Also, Caomin also Knowing which route Fan Yongdou took to smuggle prohibited items in Zhangjiakou, what time he likes to smuggle, and that he bribes those local officials, the grassroots all know! Futai Lord, you just need to send troops over there, keep them and catch them!"

"Crack!" Young Master Zhang slapped Wang Dengku's face hard, and roared, "You idiot, talk nonsense! Zhangjiakou belongs to the Xuanda Defense Zone. I send troops there directly. Even if Fan Yongdou is caught smuggling, he can How much profit did I get? At that time, I will not only offend Xuanda's colleagues, but also the army in Xuanda's defense zone who will copy Fan Yongdou's family. , Is it worthwhile to do your best?"

Young Master Zhang's words really came from the bottom of his heart. He has been reluctant to attack Fan Yongdou for so long. Apart from not wanting to make Jiannu jump over the wall, another important reason is that Fan Yongdou is as rich as an enemy, and Young Master Zhang did not become the governor of the Xuanfu. Or before Xuanda Governor, he didn't want to give up this big advantage to others——Fan Yongdou was able to sit on the throne, and there were no officials from the court and the local government to participate. Do such fun things.And Wang Dengku also quickly came to his senses, the Futai master not only wanted to deal with Fan Yongdou, but also set his sights on Fan Yongdou's family property - pissing and blowing his nose, both ends are correct.However, Wang Dengku had long been looking forward to making a big deal with Young Master Zhang, so he hurriedly said, "Master Futai, then, go and tell your father-in-law that Fan Yongdou's deal should be handed over to the grassroots, no matter how much Fan Yongdou asks for." , the grassroots will add half of it, and another 5000 taels of silver will be filial to Mr. Futai, and it will be kept so that Mr. Futai will not suffer."

"This guy came to Jimen, and he really came for something else." Young Master Zhang sneered in his heart, and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by that? I persuaded Eunuch Fu to transfer this business to you. Still taking advantage of it?"

"Master Futai, think about it carefully." Wang Dengku said with a sad face: "Caomin accepted this deal, and you are a grasshopper on the same rope with Mr. Futai. How dare you leak your secrets, Mr. Futai?" Going out? Also, the higher the price paid by the grassroots, the more money will be shared between Eunuch Fu and Master Futai. If you are happy, Master Futai, so will Eunuch Fu. Those small conflicts before will disappear.”

"This..." Eldest Young Master Zhang finally got a little tempted, and asked hesitantly, "Do you know how big the deal between Eunuch Fu and Fan Yongdou is? You dare to add half, can you afford so much money?"

"May I ask Mr. Futai, how big is this deal?" Wang Dengku asked tentatively.Young Master Zhang grinned and replied, "Two hundred new-style muskets, 500 taels each, a total of 10 taels of silver!"

"500 taels of silver each? So expensive?" Wang Dengku gasped, adding half of the 10 taels of silver, that's 5000 taels, which is more than half of Wang Dengku's net worth.Young Master Zhang sneered and said, "Are you scared? The official's eyeliner at the firearms store told me that when Fan Yongdou's people went to the firearms store to look at the goods last night, he didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately asked for two. Baizhi! A small character like you, still want to do big business with me?"

"One hundred and five thousand taels, that's one hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Wang Dengku gritted his teeth, thinking that anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and the big deal is to make a little less money. Let's make Fan Yongdou sick first and save his life!Wang Dengku gritted his teeth and said: "Master Futai, please go and tell your father-in-law, one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, I will eat this batch! Caomin will pay another 5000 taels of silver to Master Futai!"

Young Master Zhang didn't agree immediately, and his triangular eyes turned around for a long time before Young Master Zhang stood up, sat on the chair next to him, knocked on Erlang's legs and shook and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, so you are very sincere and sincere. Is this a deal?" Wang Dengku replied with a mournful face: "Lord Futai, Caomin certainly has this sincerity. Although this transaction is somewhat disadvantageous, as long as Master Futai understands the sincerity of Caomin, I will continue to take care of Caomin's business in the future. , the grassroots will be content."

"So, do you have any connection with the Tatar tribe?" Young Master Zhang suddenly asked inexplicably.Wang Dengku hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Caomin's business is in the border market, and of course they have some connection with the Tatar tribe. I don't know why Master Futai asks such a question?"

"Very good." Young Master Zhang nodded, and suddenly said, "Well, let me sell these two hundred new-style muskets to you for 7 taels of silver—but you have to get the goods yourself!"

"My lord Futai, what do you mean by that? Caomin...don't understand." Wang Dengku was confused.Young Master Zhang smiled ferociously, and replied: "It's very simple. You give me 7 taels of silver, and then arrange a Tatar army. When Fan Yongdou buys the musket from the old eunuch Fu, I will tell you where and where to buy it." Trading time, what to do when the time comes, I think you should understand, right?"

"Cheats eat blacks?!" Wang Dengku gasped.Young Master Zhang snorted: "Don't say it so harshly, this is killing two birds with one stone! You contacted the Tatar soldiers and ate these muskets, and spent less money to make more money. This official also made such a bad breath, let Fan Yongdou know how to skip this official." What are the consequences of directly doing business with Fu Yi, do you understand? In a word, do you want to do this?"

Regardless of the fact that they are both traitors and Shanxi merchants, Wang Dengku and Fan Yongdou's grievances have not lasted for a day or two in order to compete for business. How can Wang Dengku be indifferent to such a 'kind' suggestion that benefits himself and harms the enemy?After hesitating for a long time, Wang Dengku tentatively asked: "Futai, can the money be less? It is also very expensive for grassroots to hire Tatar cavalry."

"Two hundred muskets, two or three carriages can be pulled, how many Tatar cavalry will be used?" Young Master Zhang snorted coldly, and shouted impatiently: "Forget it, for the sake of offering your cousin and niece, 6 Two silvers, one tael less will not work!"

"Success." Wang Dengku gritted his teeth and agreed, and pleaded again: "But the grassroots need some time. After all, 6 taels of silver is not a small amount. It takes time to raise money and contact the Tatar tribe."

"Of course I will give you time. Fan Yongdou also needs time to raise money, right?" Young Master Zhang said coldly, "But for raising money and contacting the Tatar cavalry, shopkeeper Wang, you can let your son Go with your nephew, shopkeeper Wang, you can stay in Jizhou for a few more days. Also, shopkeeper Wang, should you write a document admitting that you colluded with Jian slaves to smuggle prohibited materials, and temporarily put them here with me? "

After being forced to write a letter that would allow the imperial court to confiscate and behead the Wang family, Wang Dengku finally left under the escort of Young Master Zhang's confidants. The murderer was terrified.The reason why Wang Dengku eavesdropped on Young Master Zhang’s privacy before, was originally to threaten and lure him to sell him some new muskets. Young master Zhang seized his own handle and forced himself to do such dangerous things as cheating and cheating.Wang Dengku couldn't help feeling a little regretful, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be in a hurry to show up?"—Of course, Wang Dengku wouldn't know, even if he hid in the room of the red lady and didn't come out, he would still be caught by Young Master Zhang or Zhang. Shito found out intentionally or unintentionally, and grabbed Young Master Zhang and shouted, beat and killed...

After Wang Dengku was settled, Young Master Zhang couldn't help thinking of the eyeliner that Wang Dengku had arranged beside him. Young Master Zhang, who didn't like being followed by others, took the initiative to walk into the matchmaker's room, and walked over to the red lady who was sitting beside the bed silently wiping tears. The lady laughed and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't kill your cousin. Do you feel sorry for him?"

"Unexpectedly, you are this kind of person." The red lady said with a sob: "I always thought that you are a great hero, knowledgeable, martial arts, and kind to us poor people. Jiannu is frightened when he hears your name. But I just found out today that you are such a person, you can do anything for money, so you...you are the same as those corrupt officials, you are nothing, I am blind." Hong The lady didn't dare to finish her sentence, and added in her heart, "I knew you were such a person. When Wang Dengku bought me and gave it to you, I shouldn't have agreed."

"I have never thought of myself as a great hero, a great hero. I just want to do what I think I should do." Young Master Zhang said casually, lifted the red lady's sharp chin, and said with a smile: "Besides, You are not much better than me, are you? The famous red lady actually made eyeliner for a... businessman, as a detailed work, it really disappointed me."

"You, you know?" After all, Hong Niangzi was still young, so she quickly admitted.Young Master Zhang pinched her smooth chin again, and said with a smile, "I knew from the beginning that if Wang Dengku was really your cousin, why would he give you to me as a maid without your parents' consent? Is the servant girl very promising? So I knew from the beginning that you must have been bought by Wang Dengku and prepared to give to me. There are two purposes, one is to win over the relationship between him and me, and the other is to spy on him secretly My situation, right?"

"Since you know, why did you bring me here?" The red lady raised her red and swollen teary eyes and asked.Young Master Zhang shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Because I wanted to do business with Wang Dengku from the very beginning, so you little beauty will not accept you for nothing. Besides, if I don't accept you, Wang Dengku will not dare to talk about doing business with me." These businesses, so I had to reluctantly accept them."

"Then what do you want now?" The red lady asked nervously.Young Master Zhang sighed, and said, "Go back and find Wang Dengku. When I asked about your parents and family that day, you looked weird. It seems that your parents and family may have been taken hostage by Wang Dengku. You stay with me." By your side, Wang Dengku will definitely force you to continue to work carefully, if you refuse, your family will definitely be in danger. Only when you return to him and lose the value of use, he will not embarrass your family for the time being."

"You drove me away...?" The red lady asked tremblingly, her little face turned pale.Young Master Zhang nodded resolutely, and replied: "Yes, I will drive you away. I don't like to talk in my sleep and I have to be careful, so you have to go. By the way, tell Wang Dengku that this time is enough for the beauty trick, and there will be another one." Next time, watch out for his head!"

The pretty face of the red lady was even paler. After a long time, the red lady said in a low voice: "If you can save my family, I will repay you." Young Master Zhang shook his head and replied: "No, for me , Wang Dengku is still useful, and I don’t want to turn against him now. Besides, I don’t know where your parents and family are now, and I can’t help them if I want to.”

Faced with such a cruel answer from Young Master Zhang, the last hope in Hong Niangzi's heart was completely shattered. In desperation, Hong Niangzi, who had a stronger personality, stopped begging, wiped away her tears and packed the pitifully small amount of luggage.Young Master Zhang put his arms around his chest and watched coldly. It was only when the red lady picked up the package and went out that young master Zhang called out: "Wait a minute." Throw it to the red lady.The red lady came from a poor background, of course it is impossible to recognize the inscription on the waist tag, but seeing that the copper waist tag is small and exquisite, it seems to be very precious, the red lady couldn't help asking in surprise: "What is this?"

"Dongchang's waist card." Young Master Zhang said lightly: "After returning to Wang Dengku, he probably won't do anything to you for a while. Just hurry up and find out the whereabouts of your parents and family members, and immediately take this waist card to see you." Local government, let them send troops to rescue your parents and family members. If the local government asks you where the waist badge came from, you just say that I got it for you from Song Gonggong, the deputy admiral of Dongchang. Forgive them, they dare not refuse Obedient. Of course, it would be better if there were mine supervisors and tax supervisors in that place, and if you go to them with this badge, they will be more obedient."

The red lady stared at the waist tag for a long time, her red and thin lips moved, but finally she still didn't make a sound, and walked away with her bag on her back and her head bowed.Looking at her thin back, Young Master Zhang smacked his lips and muttered: "You are a chivalrous woman, I sold you such a big favor, and I can't even say thank you? I don't know if I will ask you for news in the future, will you?" Won't you be honest?"
