Chapter 225 Rogue
Fan Yongming said: "There are also shops from all over the world..."
"You don't know what the shop is like?" Fan Yongdou said: "I have been losing money all these months."
"I have less than 30,000 yuan on hand," Fan Yongming said: "I have to prepare for the cost of getting married recently. In addition, I have to prepare for the provincial examination this fall."
Fan Yongming is less than 20 years old and has passed the exam for a scholar a few years ago. He has been discussing several marriages recently and has to take the exam, which does have a lot of expenses.
"Forget it, your marriage and career are also important." Fan Yongdou kept thinking about the marriage in his heart. He said, "I have a problem in my mind. Let's talk to you in detail in the evening."
"Yes, brother."
Fan Yongming responded with his head down, Fan Yongdou nodded and left in a hurry.
Looking at Fan Yongdou's back, Fan Yongming suddenly felt a chill.
...
The wife of the Fan family was burning incense in the Guandi Temple. Fan Yongdou arrived in a hurry. Seeing that his wife was bowing devoutly, he had to kneel down and toast to Emperor Guan Sheng.
There are many temples everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. The Zhangjiakou Fort where the Fan family lives now is very large, and almost all the people come and go. Almost all the merchants worship gods and Buddhas for peace are businessmen. Almost all the people in each city can find the Emperor Temple. There is a large-scale Guandi Temple in the middle of the Wucheng City in Beijing to the north and south streets of Zhengyangmen.
The Zhangjiakou building is not small in size, with many people coming and going. Fan Yongdou was surrounded by more than a dozen strong men, everyone was carrying weapons, and after entering the temple, they were scattered in the police. Seeing this, Fan's wife hurriedly tent incense and came out.
When she arrived outside the temple, she couldn't help but complain: "In this situation, you are worried about safety wherever you go, and if you have any urgent matters, come here to find me. If you use a gun to get a stick like this, be careful that Emperor Guan Sheng is unhappy."
Fan Yongdou begged his wife for something, but it was difficult to dismiss her at the moment. He smiled and said with apologies: "The Emperor is a warrior, so I don't think he will blame him."
He was also a little worried about his safety. After all, Zhang Han was not a good man and a woman. Fan Yongdou was even more afraid a while ago. Within just one or two days, several shopkeepers who had secretly cooperated with the Fan family suddenly disappeared, and then no one was seen again. He Yusheng just changed the shopkeepers, and the situation was calm everywhere, and there was no one to look for them. The family of each shopkeeper did not hear that it was a mess. As soon as this happened, Fan Yongdou immediately knew that Zhang Han was cruel and ruthless. This opponent seemed young and had a restrained manner in daily life. He did not act rampant because of his deep relationship. He always stayed in a front line. The chamber of commerce in Lingqiu and Tianchengwei was a clear proof. Unexpectedly, Zhang Han used his harsh hands all at once and solved a considerable hidden danger.
Those people were missing, and some government officials also symbolically investigated, no one was seen alive, no corpse was seen when they died, and no family members reported it. Of course, no one paid attention to this matter anymore.
After the fight, Fan Yongdou raised his guard level, including his wife and children. They had to bring a large number of escorts when they went out, otherwise Fan Yongdou would not be relieved.
After several months of continuous progress, Mrs. Fan was already tired of her and was reluctant to take the bodyguard when she went out. Only Fan Yongdou insisted on bringing a large number of people.
However, Zhang Han had no movement, which made Fan Yongdou feel a little ashamed.
Thinking from the perspective of others, Fan Yongdou felt that if he had so many powerful subordinates, he might not be able to stop the temptation and not be afraid of people coming out to assassinate his opponent.
Fan's wife said, "Is there something urgent?"
"It's something to discuss with you." Fan Yongdou said: "It's a bit urgent."
The business war between the Fan family and Zhang Han has been the most eye-catching topic in Shanxi and Northern Zhili. Fan Yongdou and his wife were talking under the shade of the tree in front of the temple. There were many people passing by, and many people looked at this side with their eyes.
Fan Yongdou also knows that he is powerful and try to tell the story as long as possible.
The Fan family has done their best in this business war. Now the goods sold to the northern grasslands are constantly coming, and a considerable part of them were bought and hoarded by He Yusheng's idea, so the goods on the grasslands are still insufficient. The Taiji people of the Tatars still urged Fan Yongdou to continue supplying large quantities.
This is the biggest contradiction. The demands of both supply and demand are no longer equal. Fan Yongdou wanted to ease it, but because of Zhang Han's existence, he lost control, which was equivalent to being coerced to continue.
Fan’s wife turned pale when she heard this, and she said to Fan Yong: “We can’t give up this trade route? If we don’t fight with others like this, we will still make money every year.”
"As the saying goes, the old croaker is flying where the wild birds are prosperous," Fan Yongdou said: "This is how it is to do business. If you make a decision, you cannot retreat. Otherwise, people's hearts will be towards others, and business will become more and more difficult, and the road will be narrower and narrower."
Fan’s wife knew that the truth was not the case. The Fan family was originally very rich. Fan Yongdou just wanted to go further and become a giant businessman who controlled more power. She had a pale face, felt a sense of panic and a sensation of discomfort.
Fan Yongdou and his first wife were very loving. Seeing his wife shaking and his chin was so sharp that he looked pale, he felt a little sad. He stepped forward to support his wife and whispered: "Don't worry, I will definitely win."
"Do you want to use my body?"
"Yes," Fan Yongdou said: "I know you have tens of thousands of private money and some of the items brought by the dowry, which are worth tens of thousands, and there are a total of more than one hundred thousand. At this time, it is better to find you than to find someone else, which is worth it."
"Your husband will use it."
"Oh, thank you, wait a while..."
"My husband doesn't need to say much." Fan's wife stopped Fan Yongdou's words and whispered: "My is yours. As long as you are good, the Fan family is good, what are my bodies."
"Oh, ah!"
Fan Yongdou was very moved and did not care about the number of people coming and going, so he held his wife's hands tightly.
...
Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang were surrounded by their own soldiers and came down to a hill. The terrain here was dangerous, surrounded by dense forests, and only this shallow slope was a small village where more than a dozen families lived, with houses all thatched houses, and most of them had been burned down.
In the middle of the village is a tile house made of blue bricks, which is the clan ancestral hall of this village. It may be because of the population decline and the decline of the place, and the ancestral hall is also decayed, but at least it is much more comfortable than that of the house.
As they walked, there were murdered villagers everywhere, and the air was filled with strong blood.
Several village women were taken by groups of brothers in the broken thatched house and took turns to humiliate them. From time to time, laughter and laughter came from women crying and begging for mercy.
Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang's faces were indifferent. After the changes over the past few months, they were no longer in Liaodong. They had seen too many such scenes in front of them.
If it were Li Mingli and Yang Yi here, you could still see the discomfort and disgust in the eyes of these two people, but these two people hid this emotion very deeply, and only the closest brothers could see it.
A small leader guarding the level came over. He pressed a Qi Dao without a scabbard under his command. There were several broken gaps on the blade. Even so, the leader must be the leader. There were about twenty people following behind the little leader, and they were just spears cut out randomly. The spear heads were made with different lengths and different shapes. They were really crude and powerful.
Zhou Daniu felt helpless, but fortunately, the border troops were very poor, not to mention the local military equipment. They were chased for thousands of miles and actually ran from Liaodong to Shanxi safely, which said everything.
There are also elites in the team. This little leader also came back from Liaodong, but his martial arts skills are not as good as Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang, and his status is not as good as them.
"Zhou Touer, Cheng Touer, you are here." The little head smiled happily and said, "The big cabinet is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."
Zhou Daniu nodded kindly and said, "Let's go in now."
Yu Shigan and a group of men wearing border robes were crowded in the ancestral hall. Several guys were obviously pulled from the thatched house. They were still talking about women and carrying their pants.
Zhou Daniu came in and greeted acquaintances in the chaotic crowd, with everyone smiling.
Thirty or forty people were crowded in the ancestral hall, all wearing border soldiers' clothes.
They snatched many villages along the way, and many brothers had new clothes to wear, but none of them changed their robes. This robe was a symbol of their status and status.
Around the ancestral hall, there were people scattered everywhere in a radius of several miles. This group of people already had a number of nearly 3,000 people. If this number was reported to the court, it would definitely cause shock and anger from the center. Then, it would urgently order the local governor and governor to urge the garrisons from all over the country to urge the garrisons to enter the suppression. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had an amazing control over the local area. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the famous "Xunyang Thieves" were rampant in several provinces, causing trouble for decades. In the end, it was not completely wiped out. Instead, it was divided and governed, recruited and comforted various methods to pacify. The court also specially set up the Governor Xunyang, and the garrison was very strong, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.
Seeing Zhou Daniu and the others coming in, Yu Shigan pointed to a bench in front of him and said, "Sit down."
Yu Shigan was in the border army for a long time and was very smart. With the help of Zhou Daniu and others, he gradually looked like a commander.
"We have not stored a lot of grain, only a few dozen stones, three thousand people plus two hundred horses, and people eat horses and chew it, so it is impossible to delay here." Yu Shigan continued his words just now and said to everyone: "To the south or north or west, Brother Daniu and Cheng Fang, you two will talk about it."
The core of the troops Yu Shigan is the original border army. Each of them has different personnel and subordinates based on their performance and military achievements. Zhou Daniu, Cheng Fang, and several Ming troops who escaped from Liaodong formed a small gang. Their subordinates also had hundreds of people, which are a force that Yu Shigan's subordinates cannot be ignored. However, Zhou Daniu knew in his heart that Yu Shigan's gang was either from Shanxi or from Shaanxi. They either agreed to go north to Datong, and they would also want to go to Shaanxi or even Gansu. No one was willing to go east-
