"You don't need to make a decision now. After all, this investment is not small, and our Yakushang also needs to make some adjustments first. Even if you agree now, it is impossible to sign a contract immediately. We can negotiate this matter slowly. After you go back, you can also consider it carefully. I have some things to deal with, so I will lose my companion first."

After saying that, Guo Dan asked Kou Yi to greet these merchants, and he left the lobby through the side door.

"Husband."

As soon as the Tang Dynasty came out, Kou Weisha called him softly. She had been standing behind and listening, and asked nervously: "What happened?"

Now, a little movement is enough to make her nervous, and she is still not used to this atmosphere.

"It's not a big deal. It seems that I'm saying that Xiao Lao and the others fought with Li Shouqi and the others again." Guo Dan shook his head and said.

Kou Weisha frowned and said, "They often fight, why are your husband so anxious?"

Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not anxious about this, but Xing'an Bo has come, so I have to go out to see him."

Kou Weisha was stunned and said, "It seems that this matter is not that simple."

Guo Dan nodded slightly and said, "But I think no matter how big it is, it's not much bigger."

Kou Weisha said with concern: "Husband, it's better to be cautious."

"Um."

Guo Dan nodded gently.

When I left the back door, I saw a carriage parked in the alley behind.

Guo Dan got on the carriage without saying a word, and said to Xu Mengchong with anxiety, "Brother, are you okay with me?"

"What can happen if a few kids punch each other twice?" As he said that, Xu Mengqiu snorted and said sadly: "And that evil son can be considered a battle of all kinds."

The old man was really humorous. Guo Dan laughed and said, "It's fine if it's okay, it's fine if it's okay. I don't know. I'm so scared just now."

"Yeah?"

Xu Mengchong obviously didn't believe it.

Guo Dan tentatively said: "It's really true. I also know that my uncle and the others are experienced in many battles, but this time it disturbed my uncle. I really thought they were seriously injured at that time."

Xu Mengchong laughed twice: "Don't worry about evil boys and the others now, but worry about yourself first."

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What does this mean by Mr. Bo?"

Xu Mengmeng suddenly looked at Guo Dan with a puzzled look and said, "Guo Dan, I used to think you were very clever, so I recommended you to Your Majesty. But now it seems that I have misunderstood. You kid are really not smart at all. Please ask you, why did you offend those censors at the enthronement ceremony that day?"

Of course it is to hold my thighs, is it to pretend to be b? Guo Dan sighed: "I don't want this either. You really don't know anything about it. I have never known Jiang Jiaoshi and I will not have any interaction. But he saw me scolding me once, and I also came from the womb. I also have self-esteem."

"What are you? They even scolded the cabinet ministers." Xu Mengshi snorted and said, "Do you know that even the ministers in the court retreated and stayed away from them. You are better off, and you are taking the initiative to go up and provoke them. Now you have caused a big disaster."

Guo Dan blinked and said, "Brother, don't scare me. I just said a few words, probably not so exaggerated."

"Not that exaggerated?"

Xu Mengchong laughed twice: "Do you know why Rong'er fought with Li Shouqi and the others before?"

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "They have always had grudges. I heard that they often fight each other."

"This time is not that simple." Xu Mengqi said: "The reason why Rong'er fought with them was because Li Shouqi and the others shouted and cursed at the door of the Three Musketeers, saying that the Three Musketeers were a dirty place and did all the chaotic things, and asked to seize the Three Musketeers, so Rong'er fought with them."

Speaking of this, he whispered: "Although there are grudges between them, this time, as far as I know, it is because Jiang Yinglin has released news that the album made by the Three Musketeers spread yinhui ideas, so Li Shouqi and the others dare to come to provoke."

Guo Dan frowned and said, "I offended them. Why do they go to trouble the Three Musketeers? If you have the ability, you are coming to me!"

Xu Mengshi snorted, "Do you think they are all a group of brave and brave people who only know how to show the courage of ordinary people? When they were playing tricks, you were not born yet. They were just coming for you. Think about it, what are the Three Musketeers doing now? But when they are making albums of the Enthronement Ceremony, they now put Yinhui's hat on the head of the Three Musketeers. If you want to launch albums of the Enthronement Ceremony, wouldn't that shame the royal family, and would also make the newly promoted imperial concubine laugh at the world. This consequence is not something you can bear."

Guo Dan opened his eyes and gradually realized the seriousness of the matter.

Xu Mengqiong sighed: "You should know that you, a small tooth merchant, participated in this enthronement ceremony and let the merchants get involved, which has already caused their dissatisfaction. However, at that time they did not want to waste too much energy on you, so they did not speak to stop them. But now you take the initiative to provoke them. You offend not only the censors, but all civil servants and scholars. If they want to say that you are yihui's thoughts, then you are not the same."

This is by no means an exaggeration. Although there are newspapers now, it is an official newspaper. The Ming Dynasty did not allow private newspapers to be run, which led to the public opinion being controlled by the entire civil servant group. After all, few people read and read these days, so they can only listen to them.

Guo Dan frowned and showed a sad face.

This really hit him seven inches.

He had thought it was too simple before, thinking that as long as he hugged Wanli's fat legs, he would not have to be afraid of anything, but he really didn't expect that the other party would concentrate his firepower on the Three Musketeers.

Now the Three Musketeers are the heart of Guo Dan’s entire plan, so there cannot be any mistakes.

If the Three Musketeers fall, then everything is over.

You should know that now it is just the perfect end to the enthronement ceremony, but for Guo Dan, he is still on the road to repaying his debts.

The reason why those merchants were willing to donate so much money before was because they wanted the Three Musketeers to advertise for them in the name of the enthronement ceremony, and the Three Musketeers also invested a lot of money in it. If the Three Musketeers' album became notorious, then this matter would be difficult to tell.

First of all, Wanli will definitely not allow the publication of the album of the enthronement ceremony.

Secondly, those businessmen will definitely not give up, but the money has been put into Wanli's pocket, and Wanli will definitely not spit it out.

In the end, Guo Dan's shareholding plan was determined to go bankrupt, and he would have to pay 100,000 taels. Even one tael may not be needed.

If this is true, even the gods cannot save them.

It can be seen that Guo Dan is actually very unaware of the Ming Dynasty and underestimated those scholars.

Those civil servants, scholars, and scholars usually speak better than sing, but if you really step on their tails, they will not repay their grievances with kindness. Those words are all fooling the ruling class. If they really violate their core interests, they will definitely bite you to death.

As a businessman, Guo Dan was very upset about entering the palace, which actually touched their core interests. However, at that time, Wanli and Guo Dan were under the guise of reducing financial pressure and enjoying the people. They were unwilling to prevent Wanli from being appointed as the Imperial Concubine on this basis.

However, Guo Dan even sarcastically mocked them that day. The censors and censors were actually not much different from those of eunuchs. If you, Guo Dan, were killed, they would definitely not give up.

The key is that these people are not mediocre people. Mediocre people really can't survive in this Ming court, because the forces in the Ming Dynasty were very complex, with no black and white at all, all in gray areas, the cabinet is not necessarily positive, and the eunuchs are not necessarily negative. The struggle between them is complicated, and the emperor is a little confused, and there has never been a moment of stopping. They are all experienced and battles.

In just one day, they found Guo Dan's seven inch, because they also knew that the emperor wanted to protect Guo Dan. As long as Guo Dan did not commit suicide, they would have no choice but to deal with Guo Dan for the time being, but if they attacked the Three Musketeers, they would make Guo Dan retreat and waste it to death.

Guo Dan really didn't expect them to mobilize so many troops. He sneered in anger: "They are really powerful. The officials of the court actually joined forces to deal with me, a small tooth merchant."

Xu Mengchong glared at him and said, "It was not just him who was offended that day."

Guo Dan glanced at him and suddenly smiled, "My uncle is here today to draw a clear line with me."

Xu Mengmeng suddenly looked embarrassed and sighed, "Guo Dan, this matter is indeed so chaotic. I do have the responsibility. I want to help you too, but I can't afford to offend them. Now they are still open to me and have not involved me. If I don't withdraw in time, I'm afraid they will deal with me. I'm also a court official. If I'm not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable. I won't bet on the foundation passed down by my Xu family for several generations."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But I will not let Rong'er and the others close the Three Musketeers immediately. I hope you can take over the Three Musketeers immediately."

He was really very afraid of this, otherwise he would have given the money to Wanli directly instead of pushing Guo Dan out.

Because those censors and censors were suppressed by Zhang Juzheng, they had been struggling to survive at the bottom. Now Zhang Juzheng is dead and has been liquidated by the emperor. These censors and censors have turned over and are all like the bloodthirsty mad dog. If they get involved with them, it would be a terrifying thing.

Guo Dan said: "It seems that Mr. Bo thinks I am dead."

Xu Mengchong shook his head and said, "That's not the case. After all, with Your Majesty protecting you, they can't do it if they want your life, but only that is limited to it. You cannot win. In my opinion, Your Majesty will not help you stand up."

Guo Dan frowned and said, "Is even Your Majesty afraid of them?"

Xu Mengchong smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a question of fear, but... But Your Majesty is very guilty now facing them, just as those censors endure you at the time, because they were trying their best to prevent His Majesty from appointing the Imperial Concubine. They just didn't want to be pulled by His Majesty to you. Now Your Majesty may be the same. If Your Majesty stands up for you, then those censors will definitely bring up the Imperial Concubine again, which will make Your Majesty very passive and not worth the loss."

"In other words, I can only rely on myself." Guo Dan said.

Xu Mengchong nodded.

"I have always been relying on myself." Guo Dan laughed at himself and said, "But I am still very grateful to Master. If Master wants to lock up the Three Musketeers, then I will be done, but I can't afford that much money to buy the Three Musketeers now."

Xu Mengchong immediately said, "I give it to you."

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "This...why are you so embarrassed?"

Xu Mengchong looked guilty and said, "This is also a little compensation for you!"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "I feel very at ease when I say this. This reminds me of a famous saying."

Xu Mengchong said curiously: "What is the most wise saying?"

Guo Dan smiled and said, "It's a blessing to lose his horse."
