Chapter 222 Anti-guests?

Today, He Er and He Liangquan were really happy. The Fourth Master showed his face in front of the old master today. He was in a good mood and made a special trip to call him over.

"He Er, you have been a servant in our family for so many years, and I have always underestimated you! You made a big splash today, good, very good!" Gu Shenghai said.

He laughed, walked to He Er, shook his sleeves, patted He Er's shoulder with his hand and said, "I know your business, He San is not a thing. If Liuhe is really good this time, I will let you do the job in Liuhe in the future!"

He Eryi heard Gu Shenghai say this and immediately said, "Second Master, don't worry, I will keep all the docks of Liuhe within half a year. I am not an ungrateful person. The Fourth Master stands out for me. I will be yours from the Fourth Master. If you have any questions in the future, I will give you a good idea and I promise to help you with it!"

He stepped forward, approached Gu Shenghai's side, and lowered his voice:

"The old man got angry and got furious. The third brother was scolded, but he insisted that Fourth Master, you have collusion with Nie Yong, Liuhe County.

The third brother got the news from Qiao Zhisong, but the news was very blurry. The Fourth Master could overshadow him, which inevitably made the old man suspicious!"

Gu Shenghai said: "Oh? He Er, where did you come from?"

He Erdao: "The merchant from Yangzhou is also named Gu, and his name is Gu Zhilun. He is the one who caused trouble many years ago and fled to Yangzhou. This time he came back to ask someone to find the old man, but the old man is very arrogant and looks down on him.

Now, I, a slave, went over to talk to him. To be honest, I lived in the same alley with me Gu Zhilunke when I was a child. Now he has followed Nie Yong. With our relationship, it is still easy to find out some news!"

Gu Shenghai frowned slightly and began to think in his heart that He Er was not alone in Liuhe. He had a close relationship with Gu Zhilun, and this Gu Zhilun was also a man from Zun Nie Yong, Liuhe County.

Gu Shenghai was not interested in the government affairs of Liuhe County and the affairs of the Nanfu Army. He was interested in the business of the Gu family in Liuhe County.

As long as he can hold the Gu family's business in his hands, he doesn't care about other things. It's a good thing that He Er has supernatural powers and abilities. He Er is not afraid of He Er having a strange intention. After all, He Er is still a slave of the Gu family. He cannot let the horse run away, and he wants the horse not to eat grass!

He Er got into Gu Shenghai's relationship, and his foreign housekeeper's face in the Gu family soon became different. With a word from the Fourth Master, everyone knew about He Er's current backstage, and a lot of flattery followed.

For He Er, the most realistic advantage is that the butler helped him change the yard. Just on the Fourth Master's side, the butler specially arranged a unique courtyard for He Er. Although the room only has three rooms to carry the yard, it is much wider than before.

With such a small courtyard, He Er could bring his inner wife and aunt over there, and he had to run to Liuhe without thinking about the woman.

What made him even more excited was that news kept coming from Liuhe, and the master there seemed to be quite satisfied with his errands. If He Er had been half-believing and half-doubting about the boy's words before, he was now full of confidence.

...

He Er was proud of his youth, but He Lianggong was not very comfortable.

Although he is in charge of business in Liuhe, he will be a punching bag if something happens. The old man cannot scold Qiao Zhisong, who is a juren and a court official!

He Lianggong was scolded and he was very distressed. His mind was full of random thoughts. The Nanfu Army went down the mountain and wanted to go to the Dongmen Wharf. In the future, can the river valley wharf where he is located on the Sankong Bridge still flourish as it is today?

As long as the Nanfu Army sealed the official road and said to the passing merchants, "I drive this road. If you want to pass by, leave behind the road and wealth." The river valley pier on the Sankong Bridge will become a dead end. What value does this person in charge have?

The Nanfu Army has more than 30,000 people, and they also have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Even if the Gu family is powerful, will they still dare to fight with the Nanfu Army? Then the Nanfu Army has occupied all three wharfs, and the Gu family has no choice!

"Uncle San, don't worry, didn't the old man say that? It's going to rain and my mother wants to remarry. This is nothing to do. Let's wait and see if it changes first?" He Lianggong's confidant and his nephew, He Hui, came to him and lowered his voice.

"You know, no! In the eyes of the old man, Liuhe County is just a drop in the bucket. Even if it is abandoned, it will not hurt his roots. But for me, for our He family, if Liuhe is gone, our family will be gone. Do you understand?" He Lianggong said coldly.

"Ah Hui, once the Nanfu army really goes down the mountain, they will stop at the Dongmen Wharf and our river valley Wharf will be pinched. The goods coming and going from land must pass through the official road, with 30,000 soldiers and generals, it makes people feel terrible if you think about it!"

He Hui said: "One thing is certain. Regardless of whether the Sankong Bridge will be affected, the Shanmu Bridge will definitely become popular. Recently, the shops in Shanmu Bridge Town have been frying, and many people are rushing there!"

He Lianggong glanced at He Hui and said, "A Hui, have you bought it?"

He Hui shook his head and said, "I can't buy it. The area has been bought by Yangzhou merchants. They don't sell it at all now. Everyone can only worry!"

He Lianggong shook his hands and stood up suddenly and said, "I asked you to take the Biyun Tower to take over? Let's go with me to Biyun Tower, and we'll wait for someone!"

He Hui said: "Uncle San, I don't think this matter is urgent. It's all a matter of horoscope. The old man said that it is not easy to get the Nanfu Army to go down the mountain. Zhan Tianqi thought it very well, but he may not be able to do it! This is the time, uncle, we should be quiet but not moving!"

He Lianggong said coldly: "What do you know? I am throwing a stone to ask for directions. In addition, I also leave a way out for us first. Do you know who I want to meet? Gu Zhilun? Third uncle and he grew up naked. He had made trouble and went to Yangzhou. Now he has returned home in glory and has become a prosperous person. Last time he invited me in Biyun Tower, but it is impolite me. I want to invite him today!"

...

Gu Zhilun has been unable to sleep at night these days, and he has nightmares when he is lying in bed.

Lu Zheng asked him to spend all the money, which was tens of thousands of taels of white money. After spending the money, he only bought a large piece of wasteland.

Not only that, Lu Zheng also asked him to go to Yangzhou to transfer Lu Zheng's shares. Lu Zheng himself prepared to take out all the money and buy all the land.

Gu Zhilun knew that Lu Zheng was playing a big game, but he was really nervous because these silver was the savings he had fought for half his life. If he lost this time, all his silver would be wasted.

It is a joke to rely on some land to plant crops. The ones I bought are all sandy land, and once the river water comes out, it is likely to be completely submerged. In the eyes of local people, it is a famous bad land.

Gu Zhilun is a businessman, and silver is his lifeblood. Now that tens of thousands of taels of silver are gone, how can he be at peace in his heart?

Under such circumstances, he suddenly received an invitation from He Lianggong. His inner uneasiness and excitement were conceivable.

But he was still a scheming person after all, and he was confident in Lu Zheng. After being nervous and excited, he was extremely careful to deal with the current situation.

At this time, helping Lu Zheng is helping him, so he did not dare to be careless about Lu Zheng's advice to him.

Like last time, his trip was still amazing. Three carriages and more than a dozen followers went straight to Sankong Bridge.

The car parked outside the Biyun Tower of Sankong Bridge, and He Lianggong was already waiting there with a smile.

"Brother Zhilun, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally look forward to you. I heard that my brother has become rich recently. Today I specially prepared wine and food to celebrate you!" He Lianggong said.

Gu Zhilun beat him and said, "Good comrade, you are so polite! You and I are brothers, why are you doing so polite? I happen to be fine today. Let's have a few more drinks, okay?"

The two went upstairs together, and He Lianggong introduced He Hui to Gu Zhilun. Gu Zhilun said, "Oh, the eldest son is so old, Ah Hui, my father and your third uncle were brothers who grew up together when they were young. There are no outsiders here today. You can sit down and eat together!"

He Lianggong was very enthusiastic, He Hui was serving him carefully, Gu Zhilun was very interested, the host and the host were all happy, and the atmosphere was very good.

After three rounds of drinking, He Lianggong said, "Brother Zhilun, you have made a big deal recently. I heard that you can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver when you take action on the Shanmu Bridge. Is there any good news? You, a brother, cannot just think about getting rich by yourself. You should take care of us brothers too!"

Gu Zhilun was slightly stunned for a moment, pointed at He Lianggong with his finger and said, "Lianggong, you are so heartbroken to say this! You are a local snake in Liuhe. The matter of Liuhe can't hide it from your eyes and ears, so don't be pretentious to me!

To be honest, I did spend money on the Shanmu Bridge, but this business is not without risks. If the Nanfu Army can't get down the mountain, do you think my money will be wasted?

So brother, everything is hard to say. I will tell you, I have been up and down these days. If it’s a business that is really profitable, do you think I can go with my brothers to make a fortune?”

Gu Zhilun said this and made the topic clear. He Lianggong and He Hui looked at each other, and both of them were a little confused.

Gu Zhilun's words were very sincere, as if they were brothers' hearts. However, because they were too sincere, He Lianggong and He Hui were uncomfortable.

If Gu Zhilun had just started talking big, saying how powerful his business was and how much he could make, they would think that Nie Yong was bluffing. Now that Gu Zhilun said this, he said he was worried, but he felt confident! This time, they were confused.
