Chapter 364 Liu Peng’s Fatal Weakness

But for Song Hongliang, this situation was really embarrassing. Before he came to Dengzhou, he promised everyone that he would be promoted and made a fortune. Unexpectedly, everyone worked hard to get out of their own pockets. Not to mention that they had not made a penny, they were directly driven out of the inn and threw them on the street. Now there was no place in the corner. He felt that he would never be able to raise his head in Jingzhou in his life.

"If Boss Di makes a mistake alone, it's just that Chang Yehao doesn't allow you to live there. Then can you stay for one night in other places?" Wei Qiyue immediately put forward his own suggestions for the sake of Prince Heng's Mansion: "Let's stay in an inn for one or two first, I'll help you with the money."

"It's not a matter of money!" said the fat man Song Hongliang, "It's because everyone heard that Chang Yehao didn't dare to let Deputy Envoy Song live. Everyone's strength was not as good as Chang Yehao's backstage, so how dare I let Deputy Envoy Song live in the store, for fear that Liu Shaoyi would be angry and that his own store would not be able to continue to open."

County Magistrate Cao was surprised and asked, "The power of the Liu family in Dengzhou has reached this point?"

Although he is not a good sect, he is still an official, and he is a person who calls the wind and rain everywhere he goes. As a result, he can't even find a place to eat, and he is directly beaten out of the store. Liu Peng is indeed amazing.

The fat man continued, "Liu Peng doesn't need to come forward for this matter. As long as someone from the Gu family's money house says something to stop working with the inn, no one will dare to continue working with you tomorrow."

Of course, the operation of an inn depends on the joint efforts of many suppliers and needs to be taken care of by powerful merchants. If Gujia Money House announces that it will stop cooperating with you, it means that there must be something wrong with your capital chain. Whether it is upstream suppliers or downstream long-term businessmen who have set up rooms for a long time, they will consider the issue of stopping cooperation as soon as possible. Even if they barely maintain it and do not go bankrupt, they will lose at least 30% of the business, and it is the most profitable business.

The Qian Family Bank is willing to continue to cooperate with you. As long as they move a little on the exchange of banknotes for a month or two, the inn will not cry even if they cry, which will increase the cost by 20% or 30% for no reason.

After hearing what the fat man said, Cao Sui realized that the strength of the Gu family's money house was so amazing. It could determine the life and death of an inn in just one sentence. Even if he was so majestic in the capital, what would he do in Huang County? I am afraid that if he dared to fight against Liu Peng in Huang County, he would not even be able to find a place to stand.

Wei Qiyue immediately said in a tone of regret, "Deputy Envoy Song, I didn't tell you that I asked you to live in the old Tang family store. Tang Shuijian is reliable, but why did you go to Changye again?"

"Isn't the boss Tang of the old Tang family store from Huangxian?" Song Hongliang immediately replied: "And the general account of the old Tang family store is located in Longkou. There are dozens of people in my house and everyone talks a lot. How can I feel at ease when I live in the old Tang family store? This shopkeeper Di is very enthusiastic. Not only does he say that he has the background of the Huining Chamber of Commerce, but he is willing to give me a 30% discount when staying in the hotel."

"Hey!" Wei Qiyue sighed and said, "Look at how you are doing this! The old Tang family store is an old store in Dengzhou for more than a hundred years. It has always had a very good reputation. Moreover, Tang Shuijian is not only reliable, but also has a very strong backstage in the mansion. As long as you stay in the old Tang family store, as long as you don't violate the king's law, no matter who offends anyone, even if you offend the emperor, Boss Tang will not drive you out!"

County Magistrate Cao advised very kindly: "Then Deputy Envoy Song can live in the old Tang family store now."

Now Song Hongliang was depressed and said, and the fat man beside him said, "It's too late! Deputy Envoy Song has already been to the old Tang family store, but was turned away directly. Although Boss Tang is not there, Boss Wu Menghui, who is present, told us something. He said that if Deputy Envoy Song lived in the old Tang family store, then Boss Tang and the old Tang family store would not only not drive us out for the sake of credibility, but also try their best to maintain and help hand over to Liu Zhe..."

"But Deputy Envoy Song did not give Boss Tang face and lived directly on Changye. Now that Deputy Envoy Song was driven out of Changye, it would be even harder for him to take Deputy Envoy Song in."

Magistrate Cao asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

The fat man immediately said, "Boss Wu said that if the old Tang family store took us in, it would be fighting with his colleagues. Although he seemed a little smarter than his colleagues, the result of the fighting with his colleagues was to hurt the harmony and both sides suffered. Secondly, since Boss Di had driven Deputy Envoy Song out, Boss Tang took Deputy Envoy Song in the old Tang family store. This was naturally a slap in front of Liu Thief and offended Liu Peng to death. At that time, Deputy Envoy Song did not give Boss Tang face, so why should Boss Tang ask for trouble now?"

Wei Qiyue and Magistrate Cao both felt that the fat man was very reasonable. Wei Qiyue immediately asked, "I don't know who this friend is?"

Song Hongliang immediately introduced the identity of this fat man: "This is Zheng Guantao and Zheng brothers. He has an irreconcilable hatred with Liu Peng and Liu Gou. It's a pity that Liu thief is powerful and he can't stay in Huang County, so he temporarily retreats to the capital city!"

When he heard that this fat man Zheng was from Huang County, the magistrate Cao suddenly became interested. He immediately asked, "Brother Zheng is from Huang County?"

Zheng Guantao sighed: "My family has lived in Huang County for nearly three hundred years, it's hateful and hateful!"

Zheng Guantao didn't say anything hateful, but everyone present knew that he was talking about Liu Peng. Wei Qiyue asked with interest: "How did Brother Zheng offend Liu Peng and Liu Dianshi, and even forced to wander to Penglai?"

Zheng Guantao recalled the glorious years of that day, and remembered the sufferings he had experienced over the past year, and tears immediately fell: "Wen Weng Wei, Lord Cao, it is really unbearable to look back on. The villain's ancestors left a big house worth less than ten thousand gold. Although the villain's family was in ruins, he cherished this house very much and never had the idea of ​​selling it to the public."

Wei Qiyue and Cao Magistrate didn't think that Zheng Guantao's house could be worth tens of thousands of gold, but there was no big house worth tens of thousands of taels of silver in a small county town. Even if it could be worth tens of thousands of gold, it had been eaten by a wealthy family like the Two Kings and One Zhang, but he also felt that Zheng Guantao's house must be nowhere short of apart.

Zheng Guantao continued, "At that time, Liu Peng happened to marry the Beishangu family and fell in love with the villain's house. Before the villain said he would not sell it, he took out a bunch of treasure money and forced to buy it. Of course, the villain was unwilling to do so. That little treasure money is no different from forcing it to rob! As a result, his group of hawks and dogs beat the villain to pieces and had no good meat on the spot. He forced the villain to write a document for selling the house. He immediately found the library office of the house to handle the matter directly. Now the big house where Liu Thief and the thief lived in Huangcheng is the ancestral home where the villain was in Ximaxiang!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Guantao was crying with tears in his voice. It was really hard for him to have a hard time over the past year. Not only did he have a quarrel with his friends in the past for a few Baochao, the Sun brothers also came to him from time to time to cause trouble. Later, seeing that Liu Peng's influence in Huang County became increasingly powerful, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to stay in Huang County, so he had to escape to Penglai, the mansion.

But not long after he arrived in Penglai, Liu Peng came to Fengcang to be the warehouse official again. Fortunately, Liu Peng was just a warehouse official. Zheng Guantao could still avoid Liu Peng after hiding. Just when he thought of the glorious days in the past, Zheng Guantao was united in his mind to take revenge on Liu Peng. Therefore, he and Song Hongliang hit it off. Now Song Hongliang is brought to Wei Qiyue.

The magistrate Cao was particularly interested in Zheng Guantao. Although he knew that what Zheng Guantao said must be very rich, since Zheng Guantao was from Huang County and had a grudge with Liu Peng, it would be of great use to him. He even put aside the question of Song Hongliang wandering on the street and asked directly: "Brother Zheng, since you are from Huang County and have an irreconcilable hatred with Liu Peng, are you familiar with the situation of the Liu Dian Shi Family?"

"It's so familiar that I can't be more familiar with it, so I know it well!" Zheng Guantao patted his chest and said, "It's a pity that there is no wise and powerful master of Qingtian in the court now to promote Zhang Zhengyi to me!"

Magistrate Cao was not interested in upholding the ideology for Zheng Guantao. He could see clearly what Song Hongliang was going to be. He knew himself and would never fight against Liu Peng in Huang County. He would only secretly call on Liu Peng: "Then are there any shortcomings in the Liu family?"

"Of course there is!" Zheng Guantao immediately said: "Although Liu Peng is actually domineering in the local area, his layout has a fatal disadvantage. As long as he plays this move, he can't sleep well at all times, but he can't sleep well at night. Unfortunately, a master like Liu County Magistrate is blind and doesn't know how to use it at all."

Magistrate Cao became more and more interested: "Brother Zheng, how do you say this?"

Zheng Guantao is a native of Huang County, so he naturally knows the inside story of Huang County better than others: "The reason why Liu Peng was able to be domineering and arrogant in the area was because he controlled the territory on both sides of Guanma Avenue from Longkou to Huangshan Pavilion, which were the essence of our Huang County near the sea, with at least 10,000 or 20,000 teenagers. However, such a good place, the government cannot even insert a needle into it. If you want to go over and ask Liu Thief for your business, it is because of this land that Liu Peng can support hundreds of dog-legged people."

Magistrate Cao couldn't help but breathe a breath of air again. He knew that Liu Peng was very powerful in Huang County, but he didn't expect that he had such a great force. Not only did he control the public gate of Huang County, there was also a private port in Dengzhou, and hundreds of patrol teams, and there was a land area of ​​dozens of miles. No wonder Zheng Guantao did not dare to stay in Huang County, so he could only escape to the capital city.

He immediately asked, "Where is Liu Peng's weakness?"

Zheng Guantao clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Just in Mazing Village, as long as the place where Mazing Village is managed, the willow thieves will always thorn on their backs and dare not sleep at night!"
