Chapter 130

A wave of failure

"Mosquito legs are also flesh! Dengzhou can still squeeze out oil and water." The shopkeeper Di educated Boss Wu without hesitation: "Wu Menghui, Wu Menghui! Have you forgotten the scene when the eunuchs harmed Dengzhou Prefecture six years ago? I have heard that this time I was determined to harm our Zhou Duda in Dengzhou, who is a descendant of the Zhou family in Longxi! The Zhou family in Longxi was so glorious back then, but you see how quickly and cleanly you defeated under the eunuchs."

The shopkeeper Di cited the Zhou family and the Zhou Du family as examples, and Wu Menghui's spirit suddenly became weak: "What should I do? The tax envoy, the mining supervisor is coming to our Dengzhou Prefecture, so I dare not deliver goods to you. When the time comes, I will spend all my time, and more than 30 people in my family will starve to death!"

Seeing Wu Menghui's pitiful appearance, the guy named Xiao Lu couldn't help but cheer him up: "Boss, now you can have a good New Year. Besides, it's unknown when the tax envoy will come to our Dengzhou Prefecture, but when they come, they will definitely not stay for a long time!"

Although the taxation forces the mining supervisor to plunder like a locust crossing the border, and can plunder three feet after scraping the ground three feet, Xiao Lu said it is justified. They can't stay in this small place in Dengzhou for too long, and they will naturally leave after they have plundered it.

Although the loss is huge when you close your home for a period of time, as long as you avoid the limelight, you can naturally reopen. At the worst, when these eunuchs come to Dengzhou Prefecture, Wu Menghui can go to the East Three Mansions to do business and avoid the limelight.

On the contrary, the Heng Palace can be said to be half of the natives of the Three East Prefectures. If they assigned horse and cattle workers to Dengzhou Prefecture and Huang County, it would probably take decades or even hundreds of years, and they would almost go to the same country. Just like the horse-raising battle in Zhangqiu County, it has lasted for more than two hundred years since the beginning of the country and has never stopped.

Therefore, when Xiao Lu said this, Wu Menghui couldn't help but feel a little excited again, but the shopkeeper of the Mule and Horse Shop just saw Wu Menghui being uncomfortable: "Hmph, do you think the Heng Prince's Mansion has really stopped, it's so naive!"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Di Da from the Mule Horse Shop said proudly: "But we definitely have nothing to do. Our store has the relationship with the Anhui Guild Hall. No matter what the dog eunuch or the Hengwang Mansion, how dare you attack our store! The old Tang family store you mentioned is just a straw nest set up in Huangxian. Looking for an ordinary mule and horse shop, how can you compare with our real brand of time-honored brands?"

Boss Wu and Xiao Lu then understood why the owner of this mule and horse shop would suppress Boss Wu everywhere when he entered the store and asked for trouble everywhere. It turned out that it was because Boss Wu praised Tang Shuijian's old Tang family store before entering the store, and said casually, "It's not as heartwarming as the old Tang family store."

Although he understood the reason, Boss Wu was straightforward. Although the size of the Tang family’s old store is much smaller than the "Changye Account" run by Anhui merchants, the ten "Tangjia Old Stores" together may not have the size of the "Changye Account" and the backing behind it is not strong enough, he felt that the Tang family’s old store in his hometown is much stronger than this mule and horse store.

As long as he entered the Tang family's old store, he seemed to return to his own house, and he was comfortable to do anything. Therefore, he immediately said: "The Tang family's old store is not bad. You must know that our Miss Gu wants to find eighteen top big shops in the county. The first one is to choose the Tang family's old store. Besides, this time, there is really no movement in the Hengwang Mansion..."

When he heard that Boss Wu wanted to transfer the topic back to the Hengwang Mansion, the shopkeeper Di of Chang Ye must certainly attack Boss Wu: "You think the matter is really as simple as you imagined. Although I am from Anhui, I have taken root in Dengzhou for three generations. Who doesn't expect Dengzhou to live a better life? Do you think the disaster has come to an end now?"

Although shopkeeper Di is a regular visitor to the Anhui Guild Hall and speaks Anhui dialect at home, he can also speak the extremely skilled Penglai dialect. He has only returned to his hometown in Anhui twice since he was a child, so he often regards himself as a noble man in the city and has a bit of affection for Dengzhou Prefecture.

"But the situation is stronger than the people. The Heng Palace is famous for being domineering and unreasonable. How miserable is he made by Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture over the years? Even though you are a countryman, I believe you know what you know. Back then, they forced Governor Hong to leave. Even if an old teacher has three heads and six arms, what can he do to the Heng Palace!"

He told Boss Wu that Prince Heng’s Mansion was not giving up, and Boss Wu really didn’t believe it: “But Prince Heng’s Mansion is really not moving!”

The shopkeeper Di quickly cited evidence: "Old Wu, do you see if Duda could go back to Qingzhou Prefecture that Zhou?"

Wu Menghui often travels between Huangxian and Fucheng, and has his own convoy. He is definitely a well-informed person. He is particularly concerned about Zhou Duda's movements during this period, so he immediately replied: "I still stay in our Huangxian County, but according to me, he will definitely not stay for too long. Sooner or later, he will go back to Qingzhou!"

The manager Di Da’s view was different from Wu Menghui: "He still stayed in Huangxian and refused to leave, which means that Prince Heng’s mansion was not willing to give up on this matter and would sooner or later attack us Dengzhou! We will be truly relieved when he will go back to Qingzhou!"

He added: "You said that Zhou Duda brought more than 20 people to Huangxian in a fierce manner. Think about how much money it would cost to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and how much money Zhou Duda could afford! Since you have made such a large amount of money, you will naturally attack our Dengzhou Prefecture sooner or later!"

Wu Menghui felt that the shopkeeper Di made a good sense, but he still defended himself: "But now that County Magistrate Liu has transferred the dog official named Dong to investigate the Fushan Yin case. Without this kind of trash, what tricks can their Heng Palace play in our Dengzhou and Huang County!"

Manager Di usually likes to show off, but when he heard this, he lowered his voice: "Old Wu, if you are willing to keep it secret, I will take you to see a good thing, and you will understand after reading it!"

"What good thing?"

"You will understand after reading it!" Manager Di said mysteriously: "If you want to see it, then just swear to your brother. If you dare to reveal a word, you will be beaten to death by thunder when you go out."

Boss Wu really didn't know what he wanted to make such a swearing, but he really wanted to know what information Boss Di had: "Old Di, I believe you. If I leak a word, I will be beaten to death by thunder when I go out."
