Chapter 721 Just rely on this face of our family

During the Shen period, the Shanxi Association was overcrowded.

After receiving the "invitation" from officers and soldiers, the Liang family in Guanyuan, Zhang family in Jingyang, Guo, Shen family in Xi'an, Zhang family in Tongguan, and Lin family in Taiyuan arrived at the guild at the designated time, regardless of whether they were willing or not.

The Xiaguan Market was surrounded by the soldiers of the eunuch Wei. Not only did it not communicate with the prefect's office, but it also had no information on the nearby Yanyun Department.

The Western merchants living in Xiaguan were completely isolated from the outside world as if they were drilling into an iron barrel. In addition, the minions of Eunuch Wei were in the market. At this moment, they were also out of control and lost their composure.

Not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one, no one can guarantee that eunuch Wei would not do anything to them, salt merchants, so he could only pinch his nose and go to the Shanxi Guild Hall under the "escort" of officers and soldiers.

The leaders of the six Western merchants have gone, and of course the rest have to follow them.

On the way there, many families had already retreated and felt fearful. If it really didn't work, just borrow the five thousand taels of eunuch Wei.

However, Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants have unwritten agreements and must join forces and advance and retreat together. This is also the reason why they can gain a foothold in Yangzhou and fight against local merchants and Hui merchants.

So even if there are people who want to borrow, they dare not borrow it now. They still have to look at the meaning of the leading companies, otherwise they will likely become the common enemy of the salt merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

After entering the guild hall, what surprised the merchants of the West was that they thought they were the ones who were dealing with them, who claimed to be the general of the army. However, Zheng stood aside, and the young man with a young man with a young face without a need, was wiping the dust on his toes with a white squid.

Looking at the guards on both sides of the young man, everyone could not guess who the young man with white faces was.

It's Eunuch Wei!

The monks in the West quarreled and conveyed information to each other.

However, even though the eunuchs of Wei were famous, the Western Shangs did not feel much fear. This was mainly because they thought they were not at fault, and they all had great families and great careers, and there were people in the court, so the energy was also great. No matter how arrogant the eunuchs of Wei were, they might not dare to treat them.

They were really forced into a desperate situation, and Eunuch Wei could not think of it!

"quiet!"

Zheng Duo took a step forward, raised his hand to signal the Western merchants to be quiet, then took a step back and bowed and said, "Father-in-law!"

Eunuch Wei said "um" and he didn't want to come. No matter how you look at borrowing money, it would damage his dignity and character. However, Lao Wang spoke and told him not to make a big fuss, otherwise Ke Dao would impeach him again, and the emperor would inevitably have any objections.

Others can be given face, but Lao Wang must be given face.

My father-in-law was not afraid that Ke Dao would impeach him. Wang Tiqian was the envoy of the Central Committee and was in Yangzhou. He had to maintain stability so that he would not lose his word.

In view of this, my father-in-law came in person.

He didn't want to talk nonsense to these stingy salt merchants, and decide quickly.

"Our family didn't want to come, but I heard that Xiaguan was in a bad mood, so I took the time to come here in my busy schedule. One is to restrain my subordinates and not disturb the people. The other is to borrow some money from all the wealthy families."

After saying that, Eunuch Wei stood up and glanced at Zhongxi Shangs who were staring at him, saying a little unhappy: "But why did we hear that all the rich men seem to look down on us a little."

Turning his head and asking Zheng Duo, "Who is it?"

"Brother-in-law, it's Liang Chengye!" Zheng Duo said in a muffled voice.

The father-in-law nodded slightly, turned his head, and looked at Zhongxi Shang curiously: "Which is Liang Chengye?"

"It's me." Liang Chengye, the head of the Liang family in Guanyuan, said in a muffled voice.

"Boss Liang is indeed rich."

The father-in-law smiled and raised his hand.

Immediately, there were rapid footsteps outside, and hundreds of personal guards rushed into the sky and surrounded the Western Shang gang with knives and guns. At the same time, the personal guards around his father-in-law also stepped forward and pressed Liang Chengye directly to the ground.

The sudden change scared the Western Shangs and the people were so arrogant that they did not dare to say anything, and Liang Chengye was also extremely frightened.

"What law did I violate for...why did I arrest me!"

Even though Liang Chengye usually speaks in Yangzhou City, he can kill a person with only a few words, but he is suddenly captured and his voice is trembling.

Eunuch Wei ignored Liang at all, looked at the Western Shangs, snorted angrily, and slapped heavily on the table: "A bunch of unkind guys who are rich and unkind have tied them up, and they have all tied them up!"

Xiaotian waved his hand and immediately stepped forward to stop the salt merchants. These soldiers were all big and thick, and they didn't leave any sense of responsibility, which made the salt merchants very difficult.

With the rope on it, the Western merchants realized that something was wrong and struggled and shouted.

"I am unjustly, Eunuch Wei is aware of it. We have been doing business for many years and have always been law-abiding. How can we be unkind to be rich..."

"I have never had any infringement on the interests of the people for generations..."

"We are just businessmen, not officials. We have not been corrupt, we have not been brutally illegitimate, and we have not been traitors. Why should we arrest me!"

“…”

The Western merchants called the wronged and the wronged and the wronged and the wronged, but no matter how they shouted, Eunuch Wei ignored it and looked at them coldly with a stern face.

At this moment, a man took his heel and glared at Eunuch Wei: "Eunuch Wei is so majestic. You can tell that it is easy to get people, but it is difficult to release them!"

This person is Zhang Taihe, the Zhang family in Tongguan. His family is a branch of the Zhang family in Pingyang, and the Zhang family in Pingyang is the family of Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei had a son, Zhang Jia, who was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Works, and Zhang Tai, who was appointed as an official in Huguang to participate in politics.

My father-in-law knows the details of each company, thanks to Zhao Shengjie's complete understanding.

Therefore, my father-in-law was not surprised that the head of the Zhang family dared to question him.

If he were to do this, he would have been the same. Not to mention that the family had ever been the chief minister, one of the clan brothers was a doctor in the Ministry of Works and the other participated in politics for Huguang, which would have been enough to make him awesome.

Zhang Taihe's questioning made the Xishang react, so he questioned Eunuch Wei one by one. During the questioning process, in order to let Eunuch Wei know that he was in big trouble, he moved out of his backstage one by one.

Among them, in addition to the chief minister family moved out of the Zhang family, the Liang family has the toughest backstage.

Liang Chengye actually said that he was the adopted son of Liang Dong, the eunuch of Si Li Bingbing, which surprised Eunuch Wei because Zhao Shengjie's information about the Liang family did not mention this matter.

It is estimated that this relationship must be deeply hidden by the Liang family and not much outsiders know about it, otherwise Zhao Shengjie would not have failed to report it.

The adopted son of Si Li Bingbi eunuch, this backstage is indeed enough for Eunuch Wei to think twice.

Seeing the face of eunuch Wei showing hesitation, the Western merchants couldn't help but feel excited. This little eunuch named Wei knew that he was afraid.

"We have never known each other and have never been acquainted with each other, but we don't know why you, Eunuch Wei, borrow money from us, and why are you ordered people to take us!"

Zhang Taihe sneered in his heart. They were not the Hui merchants, and no one had a scary background. Otherwise, how could they achieve their home business in Yangzhou?

Now, it depends on how this little eunuch spits on his face!

"Why?"
