Chapter 118: Together Management (IV)

Two years ago, Chai Rong met the sixth sister of the Fu family in Rende Palace. At that time, the sixth sister of the Fu family was just a twelve-year-old girl. Chai Rong left a impression on her. This time, the sixth sister of the Fu family was completely dressed in an adult woman. The sixth sister of the Fu family gave a big gift to Chai Rong with a look of a look of grace, showing a sense of solemnity in her immatureness.

When Chai Rong was still the general of the Left Guard, Fu Yanqing was already the governor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had been in charge of Daming Prefecture for more than ten years and was the famous governor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His qualifications and prestige were even more than that of the governor of the Yongxing Army Wang Yanchao. Fu Yanqing was very complicated at this time. The Fu family had a queen, which was the honor of the Fu family. Although Chai Rong was fair in his work and did not deliberately take care of the Fu family, many things were left unspeakable. The Fu family still gained great benefits through the relationship between the queen. Now, the death of his eldest daughter made him heartbroken. On the other hand, Chai Rong agreed to make the sixth sister of the Fu family the queen, which made him breathe a long sigh.

King Fu Yanqing of Wei still followed his usual habits and followed the etiquette in front of Chai Rong, kneeling down and bowing in a regular manner. After standing up, he had tears in his eyes. Fu Yanqing guarded Daming Mansion for many years and had high power and high positions. He felt the thoughts of the superiors very thoroughly. Therefore, although the halo of the father-in-law on his head, Fu Yanqing's attitude towards Chai Rong was very respectful, and even more respectful than his attitude towards Taizu Guo Wei.

Chai Rong gently rubbed his forehead and said, "Miss Fu is still young. Let's go to the palace for now and then officially enthrone it in three years."

Fu Yanqing replied respectfully, "This is the blessing of the little woman." Seeing Chai Rong's face with a tired face, he said with concern: "Your Majesty is the 95th emperor, you must take care of your health and don't have to work too much."

Fu Yanqing was inspired by this matter. Chai Rong was meticulous and talented. He often bypassed his subordinates and directly asked about political affairs. After sending his daughter to Daliang this time, Fu Yanqing heard about such a thing: When the emperor personally conquered Huainan, there was a section of river from the Yangtze River to the Huai River that could not be cleared. Fan Zhi reported that since the water level of the Yangtze River was higher than that of the Huai River, it would be possible to flow backward once it was dug and construction could not be safely built. Chai Rong went to check the riverbed in person. A few days later, there was a hand-in-hand that there was a detailed construction method. The craftsmen implemented it according to the law and indeed safely cleared the river.

Fu Yanqing disagreed with Chai Rong's "will do everything personally" approach. He was a father-in-law and an important official, so he naturally advised his emperor's son-in-law.

Chai Rong heard the hidden meaning in Fu Yanqing's words, "Yesterday the king wrote a letter to me, asking me not to care about specific affairs, so the King of Wei means that."

Fu Yanqing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is concerned about political affairs. He is tireless day and night. However, there are too many important things coming to Daliang every day. If you do everything yourself, there will inevitably be omissions."

Chai Rong was quite tolerant. In the second year of Xiande, he issued an edict to ask his ministers to make suggestions. When he heard Fu Yanqing's advice, he said, "The Great Zhou Dynasty is surrounded by strong enemies. I feel so uneasy that I can't destroy all the strong enemies in one day, but there are too many things to do."

While Chai Rong was talking, he saw his son Chai Zongxun, who had just turned four, running into Rende Palace. His little face was covered with tears. Several middle-aged palace maids followed behind panting. Chai Zongxun saw Chai Rong and ran over quickly and hugged Chai Rong's thighs. He said, "Father, I want my mother, I want my mother." Chai Rong glared at several palace maids kneeling on the ground and scolded, "Get out." Then he pointed at Fu Yanqing and said, "Look at who this is." Chai Zongxun turned his head to look at Fu Yanqing, who was full of kindness, with a confused look on his face. Chai Rong said, "This is grandpa, you saw it last year." Chai Zongxun called out grandpa, but still hugged Chai Rong's thighs and did not let go. Chai Rong picked up Chai Zongxun and said to Fu Yanqing, "The King of Wei met Zongxun last year. The child was young and had not seen him for a year. He naturally didn't know his grandpa."

Fu Yanqing saw that Chai Rong was holding his grandson like a farmer, and he really didn't have the majesty of a king of a country. He coughed, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said to his grandson: "Zong Xun came to Grandpa, let Grandpa hug him."

Seeing that this stranger wanted to hug him, Chai Zongxun turned his head and hugged Chai Rong tightly.

Although Chai Rong was not the founding king, his family was not good in his youth and he had been wandering around to do business and made a living. It was very different from the emperor who grew up in the deep palace. Chai Rong was closer to the common people in terms of hobbies, style and taste. He was extremely disliked by the royal red tape. He picked up Chai Zongxun and said to Fu Yanqing: "Zongxun is a prince, but without his mother, he is still a child that no one loves. In the future, let's hand Zongxun over to his aunt."

When the sixth sister of the Fu family heard His Majesty say this, she stretched out her hand to Zongxun. Chai Zongxun hesitated for a while and then extended her hands to the sixth sister of the Fu family.

Fu Yanqing came out of the palace in a complicated mood. This time he went to Daliang City, with his main purpose to send the sixth sister of the Fu family to the palace. After sending the sixth sister of the Fu family to the palace, all of his six daughters had their homes. He was a little proud when he thought that both of his daughters became queens.

The carriage was walking through the streets of Daliang City without any speed. Fu Yanqing looked at the scenery of Daliang City through the curtains that lifted a corner. After only one year of leaving Daliang City, Daliang City became more prosperous. There were many shops on the streets, and all industries were prosperous. Pedestrians were passing by. From time to time, you could see Hu people wearing strange clothes. Fu Yanqing said in his heart: Although Daming Mansion is an important town in the north, it is still inferior to Daliang City.

However, the Daliang City seemed quite crowded, and many local houses invaded the official road. When the carriage passed by, it was necessary to slow down to avoid pedestrians passing by. The carriage turned a corner and was blocked by the crowd, and noises kept coming from the crowd. He Mengti, the general of the guard behind Fu Yanqing, immediately stepped forward, separated the crowd, and shouted: "Get out of the way, don't block the road."

Fu Yanqing has been in the officialdom for a long time and knows his identity as a father-in-law, and is always stared at by many jealous eyes, especially in Daliang, a place of right and wrong. Therefore, every time he comes to Daliang, he acts very low-key and specifically instructs his personal guards not to take out the signs of the King of Wei to show off.

The two groups of people who were making noise were holding wooden sticks of different lengths in their hands, confronting each other like dogs sticking out their tongues. They ignored He Meng's rebuke. He Meng was from a family and was a member of He Hui, the commander of the infantry commander of the Guards. That day, Fu Yanqing gave Hou Dayong a farewell show, and he jumped out to challenge Hou Dayong. He Meng was also a famous figure in the Daming Mansion. As a result of this indifference, he lowered his face and shouted loudly: "You know what you are, get out of here."

There was a tall man with a scarred face among the crowd in the confrontation. He turned his head and glanced at the carriage behind He Menghe. The carriage Fu Yanqing was given by Fu Ying. It was decorated in a luxurious manner. The horses pulling the carriage were extremely strong. Behind the carriage were twenty guards wearing weapons. The man with black face looked at the carriage and looked at the guards behind him. Although he couldn't figure out their background, he did not dare to act rashly. He said to the person behind him: "Go back a little and let them go."

More than a dozen men retreated. At this time, the crowds of people on the onlookers were already crowded with the streets. More than a dozen men retreated a few steps and could not retreat. Seeing that the passage he gave up could not pass through the carriage, He Meng pointed at the group of people who did not move with a horse whip and said, "You retreat too." The group of people was very obedient and quickly retreated into the store without any hesitation.

He Meng pointed at the black-faced man with a horse whip and said, "Get back a little longer." Seeing that these people were all civilian clothes, He Meng retreated aside after his scolding, and he was not polite. The horse whip naturally had a very arrogant smell. A small man behind the black-faced man saw that the horse whip was stretched to the front of the black-faced man's nose. He looked at He Meng on the horse with a cold face.

Seeing that the group of people slowly retreated and their movements were not smooth, He raised the whip and pretended to suck it into the crowd. He Meng's movement made the little man beside the black-faced man unable to bear it. He quickly flashed out from behind the black-faced man, grabbed the whip, and dragged it back. He Meng saw that the group of people did not dare to resist him, and was a little careless for a moment. The whip was taken away by the small man. He Meng was furious and pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed it at the small man. The black-faced man was holding a short stick with eyebrows in his hand. Seeing that the rider pulled out the long sword, he was no longer polite. He took action extremely viciously, and the stick went straight to the front leg joint of the war horse, and only a "click" sound was heard. The forelimbs of the war horse was severely damaged. He couldn't stand and fell to the ground with the man and the horse.

He Meng was an extremely ill-fated swordsman in the Daming Mansion Army. He did not get at a disadvantage when he fought with Shi Hu, so Fu Yanqing chose to lead his personal guards. He bounced up when his body touched the ground, and stabbed the black-faced man in his hand. The black-faced man saw the rider's sword skills, so he did not dare to be careless and used a wooden stick to attack the middle of the long sword.

The two fought very quickly, and there was no winner within a few moves. Fu Yanqing's personal guards were well trained. The six guards were divided into two rows to protect Fu Yanqing's carriage. The other guards jumped off their horses and rushed towards the two who were fighting. The guards were not people in the martial arts world, but soldiers who had been through battle for a long time. They had no idea of ​​fighting alone in their minds. When the commander and the man started fighting, they wanted to rush up to capture the person. There were about ten people around the black-faced man. They did not rush up, but lined up in a row with wooden sticks in hand, and the stick tips towards the guards who rushed up, slowly pressing towards the guards.

Fu Yanqing sat in the carriage and kept watching the scene. The black-faced man's work of hitting horse legs was the most commonly used move by the infantry against the horse army. This black-faced man used this move perfectly and had definitely practiced it thousands of times. Although people in the martial arts world are brave and fierce, few people can use this move so purely. Fu Yanqing did not hesitate to determine that this black-faced man was an old soldier, and the formation of his personal guards even showed that this was a group of soldiers who had fought on the battlefield.

More than ten people confronted the group of soldiers all stood in front of the shop gate, with signs hanging on the shop - Fujia Store. These people were all strong, holding sticks in their hands, and watched the personal guards clash with the black-faced man without a sound.

The real boss of the rich shop is Hou Dayong. The merchants of Daliang who are slightly larger know this secret, and no one is very surprised about it. Although the merchants are not at the high level at this time, the money the merchants possess is really envious of those officials. Many officials control some industries openly and secretly, which is also an open secret. Fu Yanqing is quite envious. He has long known the secret of the rich shops, but Hou Dayong and Fu Ying did not mention this matter, so he did not ask and did not understand each other.

Fu Yanqing thought about it several times, and he leaned out of the carriage and said majesticly: "Stop it all."

The black-faced man had a sword on his shoulder, and blood flowed down his shoulder. He was a commander in the guards, named Li Yingchuan. He was good at using Modao. Modao can be chopped or stabbed, and it was extremely powerful. This wooden stick is really not very good at using. His opponent's sword skills are sophisticated. The sword tip covers his vital parts like a poisonous snake. Under the pressure of his opponent, the black-faced man unknowingly changed his stick technique to Modao's sword technique. When he got the sword on his shoulder, the wooden stick in his hand also stabbed the opponent's shoulder, but the dull stick head could not penetrate the opponent's soft armor. In comparison, he suffered a great loss.

He Meng succeeded with a move, and his shoulder was stabbed in great pain. He was secretly surprised. If the black-faced man used a weapon with a pointed head, the stab would also hurt him. He heard the King of Wei speak. He danced a sword flower and retreated.

Fu Yanqing said to the black-faced man: "Are you an imperial guard officer? What position is it? Is it the guard department or the palace front department?"

The black-faced man Li Yingchuan saw the man who came out wearing purple court uniforms, long beards and chests. He was very majestic and a high-ranking official. Li Yingchuan was Li Chongjin's confidant officer. He knew almost all the senior officials in the capital. This senior official must be the governor of the capital. He suddenly remembered that Li Chongjin had said that the King of Wei, Fu Yanqing, the governor of Tianxiong Army, had already entered Beijing, and his face changed color. Li Yingchuan was unwilling to reveal his identity. He bowed to Fu Yanqing and said, "I offend you very much." He turned his back and said, "Go away quickly."

He Meng looked back at Fu Yanqing. Fu Yanqing didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to pursue him. The group of people turned around and headed west, and soon turned into an alley and disappeared in front of Fu Yanqing.

Fu Yanqing turned his head and glanced at the rich shop, and returned to the carriage without a sound. Soon, Fu Yanqing's convoy headed towards the Daliang Hou Mansion.

He Meng walked to the side of the war horse, looked at the forelimbs of the war horse being softly drooped. He touched it with his hands, and the horse's legs had broken into several pieces and could not be cured. He Meng did not hesitate. He was a sword against the horse's neck, and this sword cut off the large blood vessels of the war horse. Blood gushed out with the drawn long sword. The war horse screamed hoarsely, but there was no movement. These movements were extremely neat, and the people onlookers were stunned. A soldier jumped off his horse and gave the war horse to He Meng. He Meng jumped onto the war horse and chased the convoy.

The sergeant dismounted the horse and left to deal with the corpses of the war horses. In the army, after the horses died, they would enjoy the same burial treatment as the sergeant. Only in extremely special circumstances would there be cases of eating war horses in the army. He shouted loudly: "I will give you fifty dollars, who will find a car to help me transport the horses."

The people in Daliang City who were watching the scene ended like this, but they were still unwilling to accept it and dispersed. Soon, in the teahouse in Daliang City, a storytelling with a black-faced man fighting a golden-armored swordsman appeared. The storytelling was extremely exaggerated, and finally, it turned into two gods who stole the mortal world to fight in Daliang City.

The leader standing at the gate of the Fu Family Store was Wu Qilang. He was originally a private salt dealer. After being subdued by Hou Dayong, he became Meng Shu's assistant who was very easy to use. The Fu Family Store opened four shops in Daliangchengli, one in the east, west, south and north cities. During this period, there were always soldiers from the Guards' Department wearing civilian clothes to make trouble in the shops. Wu Qilang brought a few decent subordinates to wait in the Zhang family compound, ready to deal with the harassment of the Guards' Department at any time. When Fu Yanqing's car convoy came over, Wu Qilang happened to confront Li Yingchuan and other guards. Li Yingchuan and others made trouble in the Fu Family Store, all wearing casual clothes. Wu Qilang had known that they were from the Guards' Department and did not expose them. The two sides fought tacitly several times, and no one took advantage.

Wu Qilang had seen this carriage in the Daliang Marquis Mansion. He knew that the carriage was used by the King of Wei. Therefore, when He Meng ordered them to dodge, Wu Qilang immediately retreated to the door of the rich shop.

After the dispute subsided, Wu Qilang took his people back to the Fu Family Courtyard. Meng Shu is now the number one figure in the Fu Family Courtyard. After the Daliang Hou Mansion was repaired and improved, Fu Ying specifically told Meng Shu that he and his sister Meng Zhen would move into the main courtyard. After listening to Wu Qilang's statement, Meng Shu said to Wu Qilang: "I have found out the identity of the black-faced Han area. His name is Li Yingchuan, and he is the commander of the infantry army of the Guards."

Wu Qilang smiled and said, "No wonder this guy is really good at martial arts. He is actually a commander. He encountered a tough idea today and was injured by the King of Wei's personal guards."

"In your opinion, why did the Guards dislike our rich shop?"

Wu Qilang has been in the world for a long time and is very familiar with the world. He said: "If such a thing happens in the world, it is most likely that his peers are jealous. Recently, a large shop has been opened next to the rich shop in the north of the city. There are really a lot of goods from south to north. I have been competing with us for a while. I guess the soldiers of the Guards must have been summoned by these people."

"Fuguitang is rich and noble, and this name has been well achieved. Now the larger shops in Daliang City have the shadow of high-ranking officials in the court behind it. I don't know where the newly emerging Fuguitang came from. The commander of the Guards Department all acted as a thug for him. Daliang City is the territory of the Guards Department and the imperial guards in front of the Hall. It is a very troublesome thing. I wonder if there is any good solution for Fu Niangzi."

While he was talking, Du Gang hurriedly walked in. After entering the yard, he bowed to Meng Shu and Wu Qilang, and then sat on the side without talking. After a while, a young woman came in from outside the yard with a pot of tea, but Meng Shu's sister Meng Zhen. After she entered the room, she said to Du Gang: "Drink tea. This tea has just been transported from Fujian. It has a nice name called Fenghua Chaowu, which has a very flavorful flavor." Du Gang refused: "Thank you, Miss Meng, I have tea." Wu Qilang smiled beside him and said: "My wife Meng, I like Fujian tea the most, so why not drink it." Meng Zhen smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Wu is here too. I didn't see you coming in. I'll make a cup for you." Wu Qilang laughed and said: "Forget it, drinking those good teas is not as good as big brick tea like me." Meng Zhen went out with a smile.
