Chapter 106: The mother and son of the Ming family

"How is Lan Shi today?" The old lady of the Ming family looked at her son coldly and cared about her grandson.

Ming Qingda narrowed his eyes and said, "The child knows which one is more important. Besides, he has been good to her in recent years."

"Man." The old lady of the Ming family sneered and laughed: "After all, this is the case."

After thinking about it, the old woman shook her head and said, "Let Mr. Lan Shi interact with everyone Yuan. A few days ago, I heard that the disciple of the Imperial Commander was opening a brothel in the city. Lan Shi sold the bamboo shop out. I felt a little uncomfortable. I was planning with everyone Yuan to break the business of the Imperial Commander. Now that we have drafted the charter, of course we can't do the opposite."

She continued to say coldly: "Everyone Yuan is the prince's woman. You let Lan Shi Shao drool. Besides, you don't know that the Fan family hated Yuan Meng to the bone. If Fan Xian noticed that Yuan Meng was in Suzhou City, I was afraid that he would kill her as soon as possible. Akashi would interact with her, which would be more dangerous."

Ming Qingda nodded and was about to leave the room, but his mother still kept him. After a while of silence, she asked worriedly: "Our arrangement is our arrangement after all. I always feel that after the little master Fan has rectified the inner warehouse, he should not be so quiet."

Ming Qingda thought about it and responded calmly: "Don't worry, Mother, after all, our family is also a well-known clan in the world. Without taking the evidence, even if he is an imperial envoy, he would not dare to take action randomly."

The old lady Ming had white beards and wrinkles all over her face, and she was sophisticated and indifferent. She snorted in a cold voice: "I dare not? I don't even want 400,000 taels of white snow silver. He must have wanted more. Who else in the world can give him so much money except my Ming family?"

That's true. Four hundred thousand taels of silver had to be raised in such a short time and delivered to Fan Xian. This ability was enough to shock the world. Although Fan Xian was extremely incredibly unacceptable, this money that could be called the largest bribery in the world could be recorded in history. Fan Xian didn't even want 400,000 taels of silver, and what he wanted was naturally greater.

"My son has thought about it." Ming Qingda said calmly: "The imperial envoy did not collect cash, so it was not necessarily a bad thing. Just say that in September last year, the old Cui family once gave 20,000 taels of silver at Yishiju. Lord Xiao Fan accepted it with a smile, but when he turned around, he suppressed the Cui family, so whether to collect cash was not a complete failure. It does not mean that this strange adult had any thoughts."

From ancient times to the present, it is natural to collect cash and do things. It is a rare thing like Fan Xian who collected 20,000 taels of silver from the Cui family but did not give any benefits. It is really rare to knock down the Cui family with a thunder blow. This move completely destroyed Fan Xian's reputation in bribing the world of the world. The merchants in Jiangnan held a deep grudge against this matter.

The old lady of the Ming family was weak on her cheeks. She looked particularly terrifying when she smiled. She said mockingly: "The Cui family is also a petty family and can't even see what's right. His baby son offended Fan Xian in Shangjing, Northern Qi. He was fined to kneel down in the middle of the night and wanted to use 20,000 taels of silver to smear? Mr. Xiao Fan took this money not to do things for the Cui family, but only expressed that he would no longer hold a grudge against Shangjing. As for later, who knows what happened."

Speaking of this, the old woman frowned and asked, "How is Hui'er?"

Ming Qingda replied: "I'm in better mood."

The Cui Ming family was in a marriage under the secret arrangement of the eldest princess. Huier mentioned at this time was Cui Zhihui, the wife of Ming Lanshi, the third generation of Ming family. After the Cui family was beaten up by Fan Xian, those prominent figures survived under the protection of Yan Xiaoyi. However, the family was broken and the people were dispersed, and thousands of people left. The bride who married into the Ming family was inevitably panicked and she cried day by day.

After talking about some family affairs and bringing the topic back to the right path, Old Lady Ming narrowed her eyes and said, "I have said before that the banknotes in Taiping Money House have been deposited almost the same amount this time. But a few days ago, what is the origin of the investment bank you mentioned to me? Why have you never heard of it?"

"I'm a little worried about Taiping Money House." Ming Qingda frowned and said, "Shi Chanli mentioned earlier has mentioned several large amounts of silver in the money house. If the imperial court or the imperial envoy buried some tricks, I'm afraid something will happen at that time."

Seeing that his mother didn't say a word, he continued to say in contemplation: "The Merchant Money Bank is a new company. It only started to appear in Dongyi City last year. You also know that most of the money banks nowadays come from Dongyi. I asked someone to check the shares and background behind it. There should be no problem. My son thought that if the price was raised by the imperial envoy in this inner treasury bid, the future flow must be guaranteed, and there will be a way to leave a way besides the Taiping Money Bank."

Old Mrs. Ming opened her eyes and sneered, "What background does it make you believe so much? Our family is doing an internal warehouse business, and the money we want is like flowing water. Where can the small money house turn around urgently? Fan Xian went to Jiangnan, which made you confused. He really didn't have much prospect."

Ming Qingda was slightly angry, but still smiled on his face and explained: "The main reason is that the background is reliable. Do you guess who is behind that investment bank?"

"Don't make these mysterious things with me." Old Lady Ming stared at her son in disgust.

Ming Qingda coughed twice and said, "It's clear that most of the shares of the China Merchants Bank are from the Shen family's property. The Northern Qi court was pursuing it very well. The Mr. Shen's family's money-in charge escaped to Dongyi and then started to do this business."

"Shen Family?" An old lady Ming finally showed a hint of interest in her eyes, "Shen Chong, the Northern Qi Governor?"

“That’s right.”

After pondering for a while, the old lady of Ming Dynasty smiled and said, "The Northern Qi court confiscated the Shen family, and Miss Shen escaped alone, but she has not been able to collect property. At that time, Shen Chong and the Cui family jointly controlled the smuggling from the inner treasury to the Northern Qi family. I don't know how much money they saved. If it were his family, this money house would have some financial resources."

"The most important thing is that the real backer of the China Merchants Bank is a family with great strength in Dongyi City." Ming Qingda struck while the iron was hot and said: "Shen Chong was the land killed by the Emperor of Northern Qi, and it should have something to do with Lord Xiao Fan, so the China Merchants Bank will definitely not communicate with the court and Northern Qi."

In addition to the huge silver hiding in the fields and manors, the silver hiding used for business is basically in Taiping Money House. The seal of transferring money from Taiping Money House has always been in the hands of the old lady of Ming. Ming Qingda Kong's name is the head of the Ming family, but in fact he is just a puppet. Today, he is trying hard to recommend a money hiring to his mother, but who knows what he has in his stomach?

I don’t know if Old Lady Ming noticed her son’s thoughts, and her smile flew instantly. He said coldly: “How much money can Shi Chanli transfer from Taiping Money House? Haven’t you found it?”

Ming Qingda felt a trace of cold sweat flowing down from his back, and said calmly: "I forced him to Taiping for a while. The old shopkeeper had to break the rules and gave me a real number. The origin of the money Shi Chanli could not be. It should be the Fan family land, and the total number should be around 50,000 taels."

Old Lady Ming snorted coldly, and didn't say anything, just staring at her son.

Ming Qingda became more and more nervous.

I don’t know how long it took. Old Mrs. Ming sighed and said, “Don’t panic to contact the China Merchants Association first. First, Shi Chanli didn’t have much money to do, and it was not enough to cause trouble for us in bidding. Second, behind Taiping Money House is the old monster Sigujian. The most important thing about this money house is reputation. If you make them break the rules, it is because Sigujian needs our Ming family to deliver goods to Dongyi City. If you turn around and go to the China Merchants Association Money House, how can they feel comfortable? Third, even behind the China Merchants Association Money House is the money from the Shen family back then, it is actually nothing. Even if there are the big clans in Dongyi City you mentioned... But the so-called big clans are just thorns in Sigujian’s side. Why should we offend Sigujian?”

Ming Qingda raised her head, and seemed to have never expected her mother to speak to her so gently.

Old Mrs. Ming finally concluded: "There are some small exchanges on the investment bank. As for the inner treasury, you must go to the Taiping Bank, which is safe."

Ming Qingda didn't dare to say anything else, always feeling that behind his mother's gentleness was a knife that killed people without blood. But he was still a little dissatisfied. When doing business, the capital was of course focused on the three holes of a cunning rabbit. Everything was placed in Taiping Money House, how could this work?

The mother and son made a little deviation in their judgment, and it was this deviation that led to the troublesome things that followed.

"If the imperial envoy can accommodate our family for a few years, then according to your wishes, just like this. If he... must cure our Ming family to death, you know what to do."

Ming Qingda hunched and thought for a while and said, "Junshan will be open next month, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Old Lady Ming looked at him coldly: "Murdering is not an urgent task... As for the Junshan Association, our Ming family has raised the Jiangnan martial arts world for so many years and protected them for so many years under the eyes of the court. Shouldn't they be rewarded?"

In this way, killing people naturally refers to killing Fan Xian. And the Junshan Conference is definitely not the martial arts conference that Zou Lei once wanted to deal with Fan Xian.

Qing State has so-called rivers and lakes, but the real rivers and lakes are definitely not the ones that look on the bluestone pavement next to West Lake.

There are so-called masters in the grassland, like the masters of the Jiangnan Water Village, I don’t know how many places they are hiding.

The so-called Junshan Association is the place where these so-called masters in the world are truly gathering. The Junshan Association has never been known, and no one knows how high the strength it has.

If Fan Xian really wanted to kill the Ming family, a large family that had lasted for a hundred years would naturally have a way to fight back. Especially at present, the shadows and professional assassins in the six places were playing hide-and-seek with the swordsmen of Dongyi City in Jiangnan, and the defense power around Fan Xian was not as tight as it seemed.

Ming Qingda obviously disagreed with this proposal and said slightly mockingly: "I don't believe that Junshan can do it if even Dongyi City cannot kill people. In addition, mother, don't forget that the imperial envoy himself is a top master. There is also the Dihu Guard sent by His Majesty by his side. The most important thing is... the Northern Qi saint Haitang should be around him."

Old Mrs. Ming looked at her son with mercy: "Killing is about fighting to the death, not a game that pays attention to success rate. If others want to kill our whole family and you are still considering whether you can kill the other person, then you will never have the chance to kill the other person."

Ming Qingda responded with a wry smile: "So what if you can kill Fan Xian? Your Majesty is furious and the world is shocked. Can my Ming family survive?"

"Of course, we have to do everything without any leakage. We must give the world a convincing answer." Old Lady Ming said coldly: "If Fan Xian can be killed, it is naturally made by Sigujian in Dongyi City. What does it have to do with our Ming family? Anyway, Sigujian has taken a lot of blame over the years, so it doesn't matter if there is one more."

Ming Qingda mocked: "This excuse may only deceive us, but it cannot deceive the people in the world, and it cannot deceive the Supervisory Office and His Majesty."

"If Fan Xian can be killed." Old Lady Ming said with a expressionless face: "Of course, it is best to maintain peace. But if there really is one day, I believe that our wise Majesty of Daqing Dynasty will not shake the entire Jiangnan and shake the foundation of his rule because of a dead illegitimate child. If things can be suppressed to the minimum, His Majesty will definitely suppress it."

"A living Fan Xian is more valuable than the ten Ming families, but ten dead Fan Xian is not as good as a broken Ming family. Your Majesty does not like our Ming family, but it cannot destroy our Ming family. So Your Majesty just hopes that Fan Xian can take our Ming family intact into the hands of the court this time... If you understand this, I can hand it over to you with confidence."

A hint of hatred appeared on the face of Mrs. Ming: "I will fill my life in then."

Ming Qingda was filled with mixed feelings and cried and said, "What are the bad things about my mother?"
