Chapter 186 The Mu Brothers
He lived a long life and got a plaque from the imperial court, so he had the nerve to hang it in the middle hall?
He was so shameless that the moment Gao Xiaoli left the house, his master Jia Daoquan was so ashamed and angry. But in the face of the plaque given to the Gao family by the emperor, what could he say?
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to death.
The ancestors of the Gao family had even saved the emperor, so what kind of contribution had they not made? The merit of rescuing the emperor was greater than anything else. Gao Xiaoli also had enough confidence to ridicule Jia Daoquan. Basically, the emperors of the Song Dynasty had inscribed plaques on the Gao family's imperial pen.
In comparison, the Jia family is simply not enough.
Gao Xiaoli, who left the village, became happier the more he thought about it. How does it feel to bully someone?
Just one word cool!
Especially the feeling of defeating the opponent to death without any plot or tricks, was the most proud moment in his life.
At the end of the day, it also suffered a loss. Jia Dao's whole family had insufficient background, and it was a small family with a small family spirit.
As for the fact that he deliberately raised the price and blackmailed Jia Daoquan in the end, it turned out to be a disgrace.
Gao Xiaoli, who was feeling happy in his heart, was sitting in the car. Suddenly, he burst into laughter. The laughter grew louder and louder from shallow to deep, and later he was even out of breath. He also thought of Li Kui looking at his eyes calmly.
He couldn't understand the feeling of saying disdainfully: "I really despise you!", but now he felt obsessed with it and couldn't extricate himself.
"Master, did you get the money?"
“Better than getting money!”
The housekeeper had a shy face, with one side blue and one side white. The cheeks slapped by Li Kui yesterday had turned purple. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get out of here in seven or eight days.
Does he hate Li Kui?
hatred!
But when he thinks that his master has been eaten to death by Li Kui, how dare he have any desire for revenge? What's the use of hatred? The key is strength. He doesn't have the strength to teach Li Kui a lesson at all. Hatred can only make himself worse.
Painful. The housekeeper, who knew that being bullied was also appreciated, soon forgot his hatred for Li Kui.
I can't help but forget that even my own master was bullied miserably by Li Kui, and he never returned to Bozhou to ask for help.
The Gao family in Bozhou is not just a general. Now in the court, there are also two generals who hold military power. Although it is because of the empress dowager, but even without the empress dowager, could it be that the Gao family has been wronged and the court will
Will you not care?
Jiangmen just lost the power in his hands. It does not mean that the imperial court completely abandoned Jiangmen. If he was really wronged, the imperial court would not let Jiangmen's face be trampled on the ground casually. Because, this is also the imperial court's face.
As for the fight between the civil servants and the generals, even the emperor had no choice. The generals were wronged and had no choice but to find a place where no one was around and secretly swallow it.
The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were the most ungrateful group of people in history. When Kou Zhun faced Zhenzong, it was a common occurrence for him to drag the emperor to prevent him from retreating. He also pointed at the emperor and cursed angrily. Imagine Kou Lao
Cina tastes, drinks vinegar, and eats garlic. When you get close, you will be as manic as a bloody storm when you open your mouth.
But what about Zhenzong?
In the end, I could only live with it.
Li Kui is so unreasonable. He is obviously a reckless person, but he is backed by a circle of literati. Even if the housekeeper is extremely angry, he may not be able to avenge him in this life.
We can only let it go!
Besides, Jia Daoquan.
When Gao Xiaoli left, his master did not stand up to see him off, and his eyes were dull as if he were an idiot. His thoughts were drawn to the unsolved case seven years ago, and the owner of the unsolved case was Chang Wu, and the other one was Chang Wu.
One person is him.
Chang Wu was the unlucky guy who took the blame for the first Changpingcang accident, but at the same time, this name was also the name he was most afraid of hearing.
"master!"
"master!"
The host didn't see the guests off, but the steward still saw them off according to the rules. He just watched silently as the Gao family's carriage majestically passed through Zhuangzi. There was no courtesy from the host, but some silence.
After sending Gao Xiaoli away, the steward returned to the house. Facing Jia Daoquan, who was deep in thought, the steward hesitated for a while, walked to Jia Daoquan again, and called softly.
Jia Daoquan woke up suddenly, but felt a chill on his back. The bright sunshine outside the house only made the coldness in the house even more exaggerated. Jia Daoquan raised his eyelids slightly tiredly and said feebly: "Is the person gone?"
"gone!"
The steward answered softly.
Jia Daoquan then stood up while supporting the case. He almost lost his composure just now. Just after Gao Xiaoli said the name of 'Chang Wu', he knew that the end was over. But Gao Xiaoli was full of fighting spirit. After several confrontations,
He fell on the futon and seemed to sit down, but actually fell down.
Thinking of how he had worked hard for many years to save such a huge family fortune, he finally left something to be desired.
This made Jia Daoquan feel powerless in his heart, and it swept through his whole body instantly. He walked numbly to the yard. The sun in late spring was hot and dazzling. Jia Daoquan stood in the sun, but he didn't feel the heat. Instead, he felt as if he had escaped from the ice cave.
It felt warm. It was just that the sun was too harsh, and some black spots in front of my eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and the feeling of dizziness was getting worse and worse.
Suddenly, Jia Daoquan staggered a few steps, and the steward was so frightened that he walked over quickly, supported Jia Daoquan, and said nervously: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call a doctor?"
"It's okay!" Jia Daoquan waved his hand and said to the steward: "Go and bring me a chair. I want to bask in the sun alone!"
The steward did not dare to disobey, so he had to bring a rocking chair out of the house and place it behind Jia Dao. Jia Dao was lying on the rocking chair and closed his eyes. He didn't know whether he was asleep or worried.
In the backyard, the Mu brothers were waiting for Jia Daoquan to arrive.
Mu Chun, the younger brother, couldn't help it anymore. He stood up irritably and said to his elder brother: "Brother, I don't know what this Brother Jia means. He left you and my brother aside, but went to entertain guests by himself. You don't have to talk about the world.
Qingmian, I have to go and see!"
Mu Hong was worried and stood up and walked through the courtyard gate, only to find that Jia Daoquan seemed to be asleep, basking in the sun in the courtyard. Mu Chun clenched his fists and finally realized that this was not their brother's Jieyang Town, but Yingzhou City.
.There was no attack at this time, but Mu Chun, who had a fiery temper, was so angry that he walked straight in front of Jia Daofan and sneered...
It's a pity that his expression is destined to be wasted.
Jia Dao couldn't see anything. He closed his eyes and was basking in the sun. Even when he opened his eyes, his surroundings looked confused and unclear.
Soon, when his eyes got used to it, he saw clearly that it was Mu Chun. He forced out a smile and said, "Brother Mu Chun, where is your eldest brother?"
"My little brother is here!"
Mu Hong was a bully in the fish and meat village in his hometown, but in Yingzhou, his temper has calmed down a lot. Especially Mu Hong, you don't see how domineering he is in his daily life.
When Jia Daoquan stood up, he was no longer as distraught as he was after Gao Xiaoli left. There was no trace of frustration or panic in his whole person. Instead, he gave people a sense of calmness, as calm as ever, with no expression of joy or anger.
He said to the steward waiting at the gate of the courtyard: "Lao Hou, go to the warehouse and get a thousand taels of silver. Wrap it up for the two warriors and send them out of Yingzhou overnight."
It turned out that the Mu Hong brothers came to Yingzhou because they received a letter from Jia Daoquan. The letter said that an exchange had appeared on the ground in Yingzhou, and the prices of tung oil and camellia oil were rising, asking them to find ways to do this big business.
It's a pity that the Mu brothers are quite arrogant in Jiangzhou, and few people dare to provoke them. It has become a habit to bully others on weekdays. By the way, Jiangzhou is also known as Jiujiang in later generations. Wang Bo wrote in "Tengwang Pavilion Preface"
It has been said that "it stretches across three rivers and leads to five lakes, controls the wild thorns and leads to Ouyue." It is a treasure land. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it belonged to Yuzhang County, and Jiangzhou was also the city of Chaisang at that time.
The treasure land with outstanding people and places in Wang Bo's works is now full of disasters.
The Mu brothers are one of them.
Since they received the letter from Jia Daoquan, they have been preparing to prepare goods. However, they showed off their power in Jieyang Town, but the big businessmen in Jiangzhou ignored them. The businessmen in Jinghu didn't even look at them. They were just bullies from a small place.
, how big a storm can it cause?
This is exactly what happened. The Mu brothers tried their best, but in the end they could only prepare a shipload of goods. Just this shipload of goods had already emptied the two brothers' wealth. But they didn't expect it.
, after the goods they purchased at a high price were shipped to Yingzhou, the price of tea oil dropped by twenty guan per stone. The two brothers were heartbroken and beat their chests, feeling regretful. If they had come a few days earlier, they could have made tens of thousands more wealth. But even so, they
This trip has at least doubled the profit.
However, Mu Chun, who was running rampant at home, couldn't stand it no matter what he said. Furious at being cut off, he secretly led his clerk and subordinates to raid Li Kui's cargo yard on the dock.
This attracted Gao Xiaoli.
He didn't know that he had gotten into trouble, but he was very dissatisfied with Jia Daoquan for letting their brothers leave in despair. He had never seen the wind and moon in Yingzhou City, how could he leave just like that?
When you return to your hometown, how can you brag with the bullies in Jiangzhou?
Mu Chun suddenly took two steps and said angrily: "Jia Daoquan, what do you mean? My brother came to Yingzhou to prepare generous gifts for you. He worked hard to send you a shipment of goods, but he started to dislike my brother for coming. You
I just wrote a letter, and my brother and I gave half of the benefits to you, what do you think of it? If you still give me a thousand taels of silver in a hypocritical manner, is my brother short of this 1,000 taels of silver?"
"Two, two, you two have wrongly blamed my master!"
Jia Daoquan did not respond to Mu Chun's questioning. Instead, the steward Lao Hou rushed over and stopped Mu Chun from complaining. He could only reveal the truth of the matter: "You two, is it possible that my master dislikes these two distinguished guests?
It is true that there was a fire in the largest cargo yard on the dock, and my husband was affected. Now he cannot save himself, let alone leaving two good friends behind. Please forgive me."
"well--"
Mu Chun, who was roaring like a violent storm just now, suddenly felt guilty when he heard that there was a fire in the goods yard. When he heard that Jia Daoquan was also affected, O'Nai immediately realized his recklessness, hurriedly clasped his fists and admitted his mistake: "Brother, don't be angry.
