In front of Guan's trading business, four or five guys were surrounded by sticks. Dabao held a guy in his hands in the middle. Under Dabao's burly figure, the two guys were like two little chickens, blushing and sticking out their tongues.

Du Bingyue, carrying a stick as thick as an arm, beat Yun Shilan, who was slumped on the ground and hugging her head. Blood was already emerging from Yun Shilan's head, and she sat on the ground and hummed.

Han Mo saw it from afar and couldn't help shouting: "Yue'er stopped!"

He also looked down on Yun Shilan and even hated Yun Shilan. However, it is undeniable that Qingshang led to the prosperity of Donghai County. Although it was a foreign merchant, the Han family's purpose has always been strictly stipulated. If Qingshang had not made unforgivable mistakes, treat these people as well as possible. After all, the merchants of Yan State are far less than the veterans of Qingshang and the strength of them. If they want to drive the trade development of Donghai County and even Yan State, Qingshang is needed.

When Du Bingyue saw Han Mo coming, she stopped and pointed at Yun Shilan and said, "Little Fifth Brother, he bullied me!"

Han Mo came over. Seeing that Han Mo was young and very delicate, he thought it was easy to deal with, he immediately shouted: "You are from the same group? This woman is fierce and domineering. What do you think you will do if you dare to attack our boss?"

Then two guys who bully the weak and fear the strong rushed up, trying to hold Han Mo and force Du Bingyue not to act rashly.

Han Mo didn't even look at the two of them, but just walked towards Du Bingyue, calming down, but his brows frowned slightly.

The guy was about to take action, and when Guan Shaohe shouted from behind, "Stop? Do you dare to attack him, do you know who he is?" He quickly came over and saw a beautiful girl standing next to Yun Shilan with a stick, and was surprised and said to himself, "Can this be Han Mo's aunt?"

When the guy saw that it was Guan Shaohe, he knew Guan Shaohe's identity, so he immediately did not dare to act rashly.

Yun Shilan raised her head and saw Han Mo. She said with a sad face: "Fifth Young Master, you...you are the master, this... this foolish lady is unruly and commits crimes on the street...you want to make decisions for the people...you are the masters for the people...!"

Du Bingyue raised her eyebrows and her almond eyes were angry. She hit Yun Shilan with another stick and said angrily: "You scold me for being a fool? You are you going first, and you still blame me?"

Han Mo walked over, squatted down, looked at Yun Shilan with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "Yundong family, we meet again, we are really destined to be together!"

"Do you know him?" Du Bingyue blinked.

"Yue'er, this is the honest and decent Yundong family. I just made a deal with me half a month ago. How can you be rude to Yundong family?" Han Mo coughed twice and said pretentiously.

Yun Shilan opened her eyes wide and said, "This...the fifth young master knows this woman...the girl..."

Han Mo sighed: "She is my friend and has a bad temper, but she doesn't know how to offend Yun Dong's family? Tell me, if it's really hers, I will make the decision for you."

Yun Shilan's face was stiff, as if she had forgotten the pain on her body, and the fat flesh on her face twitched, and finally said, "This... Since this is the friend of the Fifth Young Master, then... let it go... forget it, forget it!"

Du Bingyue immediately said: "Forget it? You want to forget it, I don't count it yet!"

Han Mo looked up and asked, "Yue'er, what happened?"

Du Bingyue stretched out his left hand and said, "Little Fifth Brother, look?" Han Mo looked carefully and saw Du Bingyue's white left wrist wearing a string of purple bracelets. He didn't pay attention to it before, but when he saw it, he felt that the bracelet was exquisitely crafted and not like a thing in the Central Plains, but thought it was also a thing in the Gentiles.

However, Du Bingyue's fair wrist was actually a little red, as if she had been pinched by something.

Han Mo's face darkened, as if he understood something, and said in a deep voice: "Why is your hand red? Who was hurt?"

Yun Shilan was extremely frightened and dared not look at Han Mo again, so he lowered his head.

"It's him." Du Bingyue pointed to Yun Shilan and said, "I went into his store to see things. He saw the purple bracelet in my hand and said he wanted to buy it. I didn't sell it. He grabbed my hand and said it was the bracelet in their store. I stole it from their store and wanted to snatch it. I kicked it to the ground. His dog legs took a stick to beat me and Dabao."

Guan Shaohe heard it and said coldly: "Yundong family, what this girl said is true? How can we do this by doing business? Do you still have the reputation of Qingshang?"

Yun Shilan raised her head and glared at Guan Shaohe viciously. She saw Han Mo looking at him coldly, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Other trade dealers on the street all had their heads out and looked at this show from afar. The sparse customers stopped in their hometowns and pointed at them, as if they were very despised of Yun Shilan's character.

"Yun Dong family, what my friend said is true?" Han Mo's voice became cold.

Yun Shilan stammered and said, "That...I...this...wrong understanding...is all misunderstandings...!"

"It seems to be true." Han Mo shook his head, stood up, and saw the heads of various trade banks poked out, and his voice suddenly became louder: "The merchants on the street all listened to Yun Shilan forcing customers to sell goods, but they could not succeed. They even wronged others and even snatched them. Donghai City really can't tolerate such evil business, and I, the State of Yan, can't tolerate them. Everyone is doing business well, so naturally someone will protect you. If you have such bad character, I don't think there is any need to continue to stay in Donghai City."

Yun Shilan raised her head, her face changed drastically, and a resentful look flashed through her eyes.

Han Mo didn't say much, took the stick from Du Bingyue's hand, threw it on the ground, took Du Bingyue's hand, and said softly: "Yue'er, I'll take you back." Hears: "Dabao, go!"

Dabao threw the two guys to the ground, spitted, and followed Han Mo.

After taking a few steps, Han Mo stopped and said lightly: "Yundong Family, if you want to leave, leave as soon as possible, stay... Everyone is not good-looking!" Without further ado, he led Du Bingyue and Dabao to slowly leave, and soon disappeared at the intersection of the street.

Yun Shilan looked at Han Mo who was leaving with resentment, suddenly raised his hand, smashed it hard on the ground, and then screamed "ah", obviously it hurt his hand.

Guan Shaohe smiled coldly and turned around to leave. When he heard Yun Shilan say coldly behind him, "Guan Shaohe, congratulations on finding a big backer. You are proud now."

Guan Shaohe stopped and did not look back. He just said calmly: "Yun Shilan, when I was in Qingguo, I told you that it is better to be honest in life."

"Guan Shaohe, don't be too early." Yun Shilan said hatefully: "You still hope that your backer in Qingguo will be more stable, so don't even have anyone to collect the corpse by then!"

Anger flashed through Guan Shaohe's eyes, but he finally smiled coldly and walked away.

...

...

The night was dark, but the lights were lit in the dim study of the sect leader of the Han family's East Mansion.

Han Xuanchang stood in front of the case and took a letter from the sect leader. He only glanced at him a few times, his face suddenly sank, and his thick brows frowned.

"This is a letter sent from Han Yecheng, and it was just delivered this afternoon." The master's face was as gloomy as ever: "What do you think?"

Hanye City is one of the two cities in Bozhou County, and the other is Lantian City.

Bozhou County is the richest county in Yan State, with rich resources and abundant resources. It is the gathering place for the iron ore and copper mines of Yan State, and the area is the largest county besides Kuaiji County where Yanjing is located.

The two major families of Ye and Wu are the owners of Bozhou County.

Ye Family Furnishing Han Ye City and Wu Family Furnishing Lantian City, two cities, one on the left and one on the right, are barriers to each other. Moreover, Bozhou County has a complex terrain, many mountains and many passes, which are areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Ye and Wu families have been close friends since the founding of Yan State. They have had close friendships. They have a very harmonious relationship. They are two major families tied together. They have great power and prestige in Yan State. If the Xiao family had not had famous generals like Xiao Huaiyu, the Tiger of the East, would have absolutely no match for the forces of these two families.

Even so, the two families joined forces, and the Xiao family is still very afraid of breaking up openly.

In recent years, the Ye and Wu families have become increasingly powerful. Not only are they powerful in the court, but they are also ready to move, often delaying or even refuse to pay taxes and silver. They also train troops in Bozhou County, casting armor and privately buying horses. It can be said that the opposite has become a thorn in the eyes of the court. Although the court wants to eliminate it, the Ye and Wu families are too powerful, and they may be counterproductive if they are too forced.

Therefore, the cabinet often urges Bozhou County not to make such nonsense, but these words are no different from farting when they hear the two great families of Ye and Wu.

The officials appointed by the imperial court to Bozhou County were completely undermined and had no real power. Therefore, in order to avoid being appointed to Bozhou County, many Beijing officials even bribed them in a large manner, and no matter how high the officials were, they would not dare to go there.

Everyone knows that when Ye Wuzhen rebelled, the Beijing officials might have to take them out to sacrifice the flag.

Now that the Ye family suddenly wrote a letter, it would naturally not be a good thing.

...

Han Xuanchang pondered for a moment and finally said, "Although the Ye family did not say anything, the letter mentioned Qin'er, and I think it was planned to win over our Han family and marry us."

The sect leader nodded slightly and said, "That's what it means. Ye Wuyuan's eldest son has already married, and he has another second son, Ye Geng, who is only twenty years old. Although he has taken two concubines, he has not yet married his wife. This time, the meaning of this letter is obviously to let Ye Geng marry Qin'er and be his wife."

Han Xuanchang frowned and said, "Once this marriage is completed, our Han family will be with them, and it will become the sand in the eyes of the court. Although the court does not dare to attack the Ye and Wu families at present, it dares to attack our Han family."

"But if we refuse, we will definitely offend the Ye family, which is equivalent to offending the Wu family, and our situation will not be good." The sect leader said in a deep voice: "The Ye and Wu families will rebel sooner or later. When the fight comes, who will win and lose will be unknown. The strength of the Ye and Wu families cannot be underestimated."

Han Xuanchang looked solemn and said slowly: "Uncle, from this point of view, the Ye and Wu families seemed to be unable to hold back."

"They are not sure of fighting against the court by just the power of the two families, so they dare not act rashly and wait for the opportunity." The sect leader said lightly: "But as long as they join any of the other seven aristocratic families, one will rise and fall, they will dare to take action." Looking at Han Xuanchang and asked, "Xuanchang, why do you think they chose our Han family among the seven aristocratic families?"

Han Xuanchang pondered for a moment before he slowly said: "Not to say that the Xiao family and the Su family are all wolfish ambitions, and it is impossible to form an alliance with them. The Fan family and the Ye family are enemies. In the battle between the court thirty years ago, the Ye family forced the Fan family to kill their direct children. This hatred is irreconcilable, so there is naturally no possibility of alliance. The He family is a lackey of the Xiao family, and they are close to the Xiao family, so it is naturally difficult to win over. As for the Hu family, although they own a county,

But the northwest camp in the county is close to the west, unable to move, and its strength is suppressed, the Ye and Wu families are disdainful to contact each other. There is also the Ximen family in Wu County. On the one hand, the sky is high and the water is far away, and the alliance will not be meaningful. On the other hand, the Ximen family is too weak and can protect themselves. Even if they win over, the Ximen family will not do anything. In this way, the six major families of Xiao, Su, Fan, He, Hu, and Ximen cannot form an alliance, so they can only make an idea on our Han family."

The sect leader smiled, obviously very satisfied that Han Xuanchang had a thorough understanding of the situation, and said softly: "That's true. Our Han family has a county with 20,000 policing troops, and has the strength that is not known to outsiders. Moreover, with Bozhou County, one left and one right, the Ji County will be sandwiched between them. Once the Ye and Wu families raise an army, if our Han family forms an alliance with them and advances together, then the Yan State will be in danger."

Han Xuanchang sighed: "I'm afraid that when the two troops and horses meet in Yanjing, it is the time when our Han family is destroyed. At that time, the Ye and Wu families will achieve their goal, and the birds will hide their bows, and the rabbits will die and the dogs will cook them. They will join forces to deal with us."

The sect leader sneered coldly: "In the end, the Ye and Wu families will also start to have internal conflicts."

After a silence in the study room, Han Xuanchang said respectfully: "Uncle, how should we reply to the letter from the Ye family!"

"You must not offend them, nor do you have to form an alliance with them." The master leaned on the chair, pondered slightly, and finally smiled: "Then we will be mutes, and we will not reply!"

Han Xuanchang was stunned, thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
