Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 134

What Kong Linglong paid attention to was that a major incident happened in the Long'an Escort Bureau opened by the Kong family in Beijing.

The Kong family is following the rivers and lakes. The security service is very beneficial to the Kong family in some dark places. There is the only security agency run by the Kong family in the capital, called Long'an Security Agency. The security agency is full of warriors from top to bottom. He was illiterate and only knew how to do business with fists, and the only person who wrote the letter was Zhao Zhuoying, the only head of the bodyguard who was still able to read.

The Long An Escort Bureau is not the largest in the capital, but Zhao Zhuoying, the head of the Escort, was a knight-errant in the past, and because he received the favor from Mr. Kong, he vowed to repay the Kong family.

Zhao Zhuoying is a man of loyalty, and the escorts under his command are all his brothers who were born and died in the past. Therefore, these people are affectionate, righteous and have kung fu, and the name of the Long'an Security Bureau has been established, and it has even been passed on. Rumor has it that repeat customers have attracted new customers, and the business has never stopped throughout the year.

In a place like the capital city, many people are uneasy under the bustling package. Who wouldn't want to find such a group of loving brothers as bodyguards?

That day, Zhao Zhuoying and his brothers had just finished a trip to the escort, and they were in a very good mood. Several people were drinking and celebrating at the escort, when suddenly a man in official uniform came in, saying that there was a group of official bankers, and he hoped they would escort them.

When the official silver was delivered, it was discovered that there was a huge amount of 20 taels.

Although the business of the Long'an Escort was booming, it was the first time to escort so much money, and it was in cooperation with the government.

Zhao Zhuoying's first reaction was that he was very happy. He had run the Escort for so long and wanted to repay Mr. Kong's kindness, but in such a place in the capital, it was too difficult to hinder the development of the Escort.

If they really took over the 20 taels of official silver, they would become famous in the capital tomorrow.

Zhao Zhuoying was eager to try, but that night, he received a secret letter nailed to the door of the security agency, which said that if he wanted to keep the Long'an security agency safe, he must not accept the security guard this time.

But the letter was not signed, and there was no clue of who wrote the letter. Although Zhao Zhuoying had retired from the world for many years, his unruly nature was still there, so he pretended he hadn't seen the letter.And some brothers told him that this is very likely to be a cover-up by the arch-rival Escort, the purpose is to prevent the Longan Escort from cooperating with the government, and lose this precious opportunity to become famous.

Zhao Zhuoying's doubts disappeared, and he immediately ordered his brothers to set off overnight to escort the bodyguards out of the city.The address given on the paper was on a very remote mountain, Zhao Zhuoying didn't doubt it, and led the brothers all the way to the mountain.

After everyone reached the top of the mountain, they had no strength, and the top of the mountain was desolate and there was nothing.

Zhao Zhuoying, who was vigilant, immediately stepped forward to open the silver box, and found that everything inside had turned into stone.Everyone knew that they had been fooled, but suddenly many masked killers surrounded the mountain. The killers had superb martial arts skills, and they were like killing white sheep with their hands against the exhausted bodyguards.

Soon, more than half of the brothers in the bodyguard were killed or injured. A few of them with slightly higher martial arts, under the leadership of Zhao Zhuoying, tried their best to break out of the encirclement, but they fled in all directions without a trace.

Holding the bloody knife, Zhao Zhuoying returned to the Escort alone, but saw that the door of the Escort had already been sealed by the government, accusing the Escort of embezzling 20 taels of disaster relief money from the court.

Only now did Zhao Zhuoying realize that she had been completely fooled, so she single-handedly went to find the official who came to the Escort that day, and directly killed him in the yard. Just when he was about to succeed, the guards of the official's house arrived in time, and dozens of people They worked together to capture Zhao Zhuoying, and the frightened officials went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice the next day. The Ministry of Criminal Justice sentenced Zhao Zhuoying, the head of the Long'an Escort Bureau, to death for the crime of killing an official of the imperial court.

And this letter was the last letter Zhao Zhuoying sent to Kong Linglong before she was sent to prison.

In the letter, Zhao Zhuoying didn't regret her own life, but burst into tears. She only said that she was ashamed of the kindness to Mr. Kong, and that she was sorry for the brother who had entrusted her life to her. hand.

A thin letter, full of pleas and apologies, and did not mention a word about his execution after autumn.

Kong Linglong handed the letter to Yu'er who was next to her. Yu'er was not very literate, but she felt sorry for the deep friendship and sincere guilt contained in the letter.

It turns out that there are still such loyal people under the Confucian family.

It was no reason for Zhao Zhuoying to write this letter. Her benefactor, Mr. Kong, had already passed away, and he himself was about to die. Before he died, he would give everything to his benefactor's granddaughter, and it would be a worthwhile journey in this world.

From this letter full of apologies and guilt, Kong Linglong discovered that Zhao Zhuoying had already lost her will to die.

She has never met Zhao Zhuoying, but she fully believes in the things mentioned in the letter. Her grandfather has helped countless people in his life, so he repays others with kindness.Before this Zhao Zhuoying died, she was filled with guilt and sadness at the thought of failing her benefactor.

Kong Linglong's fingers tapped on the table again. Thinking of her character, Yu'er worried and said: "The matter of the escort agency is really uncomfortable, but it's a pity that we are in Xianyang, far away from the capital."

"Yes." Kong Linglong said softly, "It is true that far water cannot save near fire. If Zhao Zhuoying could write this letter sooner, perhaps it would not have come to this point."

The casualties and injuries of the guards in the security bureau were all brothers for many years. Now that the Long'an security bureau is closed again, it's no wonder that Zhao Zhuoying has no love in his life.

Yu'er said: "Miss, what do you mean?"

Kong Linglong looked at her: "Get ready for me, I'm going to the capital as soon as possible."

Yu'er couldn't hide her surprise anymore: "Miss is really going to the capital?"

Kong Linglong nodded: "Yes, you go pack your bags first, just like what happened half a year ago, there is no need to reveal the news in advance."

Yu'er was a little excited, and replied: "Your servant understands."

Kong Linglong thinks about doing things simply, procrastinating is not her way, Zhao Zhuoying's life must be saved, and those guys in the Long'an Escort Bureau will not die in vain. Since she is the head of the Confucian family, no matter if it is wronged or plotted, she will Help the people of the Kong family bear it.

Fu Ling didn't know what happened, so she came in and said, "Miss, there is someone outside the door who claims to be the old lady of the Liu family, and wants to see you, miss."

Fu Ling has a docile personality, and has been with Kong Linglong for half a year, and there is already a kind of intimacy between her and Kong Linglong.It can be reflected in the manner of speaking.

Kong Linglong's heart moved: "Madam Liu's family?"

Seeing Kong Linglong's abnormal expression, Fu Ling guessed that the old lady was not easy, so she said: "I just said that the young lady is still ill. If it is not convenient for the young lady to see her, I can go back to her."

Kong Linglong immediately said: "No, please invite her in."

Fu Ling smiled, then turned to invite Mrs. Liu.

After Mrs. Liu came in, her piercing eyes were fixed on Kong Linglong's face without any concealment.Kong Linglong smiled faintly, "You all go down, and the old lady and I will be alone."

Fu Ling didn't know Mrs. Liu, so she just turned her head to look, and went down.

Kong Linglong said: "There is freshly brewed tea on the table, I hope the old lady will not dislike it."

Mrs. Liu's own servant girl also came out of the door. She laughed a few times, sat down on the wooden chair with a cane, and said, "Miss Kong, even if I only give you a glass of water, I can't say anything disgusting." Come."

Kong Linglong naturally knew what she meant, she smiled, and said nothing.When Mrs. Liu came to the door, she must have taken the initiative to tell her something, why bother to overwhelm the host, she just waited.

Mrs. Liu looked at her several times with deep meaning. The first thing she saw was that the girl's complexion was healthy, and her body must be fine.The second time he saw that the girl had greeted him, he calmly waited for her to speak, and saw that the girl was still the same as before, smart and thoughtful.

Mrs. Liu smiled faintly: "It seems that I was right in not bringing the ginseng prepared by my eldest daughter-in-law, not to mention that the Kong family's precious medicinal materials are like a cloud, even Miss Kong's body is completely useless for ginseng. "

Kong Linglong took a sip of her tea: "Thank you for your concern, old lady, although ginseng is a tonic, but these great tonics are often harmful to the body if taken too often. Linglong is now in need of green tea for recuperation, but ginseng cannot be eaten. "

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Mrs. Liu was also thinking while drinking tea, knowing that the two families of Kong and Liu were still superficially related, but it was impossible to have a real relationship.

Putting down the tea, Mrs. Liu showed the most common smile of the old lady in the inner house, and said: "I haven't dared to disturb Miss Kong in the past six months. I also heard that Miss Kong is recovering. I must come to see her. Also - the day before yesterday because I received Shao Er from the capital. After I read the letter that came, it mentioned some recent events of the Kong family’s shop in the capital, so I thought, should I come and talk to Ms. Kong, and I hope Ms. Kong won’t think I’m too busy.”

Kong Linglong squeezed her hands and looked at Mrs. Liu.Liu Shao lives in the capital, and Liu Shao must know the inside story better than them about the Kong family's shop being plotted against.She took a breath and said, "Linglong really appreciates the old lady for being willing to say this, the old lady might as well sit down a bit, and I'll ask the servant girl to come over for a new cup of tea."

Mrs. Liu smiled, and after a while, the tea was replaced with a new one, and it was the extremely rare Shifeng Longjing, which cost hundreds of gold a tael.

Of course the Kong family could afford the money, but Kong Linglong didn't drink this kind of tea often.

Mrs. Liu tasted a good cup of tea, and said to Kong Linglong: "Actually, Ms. Kong must have also received rumors. The fact that Kong's shop has been targeted on a large scale in the capital this time is actually related to the Jinyiwei behind it."

Kong Linglong narrowed her gaze: "Jin Yiwei?"

When it comes to Jinyiwei, he is no stranger at all.

Mrs. Liu said: "That's right, Ms. Kong must not know that the first one to be targeted was the pharmacy in Beijing. That time, Jin Yiwei appeared and was seen by many people in the capital. Although there was no danger that time, I can assure you that it started from here. Afterwards, each of the Kong family’s shops was disturbed to varying degrees, and no one was spared.”
