Old Master Zhao is sick! An old man in his seventies, even if he is in good health, he has more or less ailments. In addition, the current situation of the Zhao family must be shocked and angry, extremely depressed, and it is normal to be sick. When this news reached Xiao Zhongze's ears, Xiao Zhongze really wanted to laugh a few times. He has been the magistrate of Tongzhou for nearly twenty years, but the Xiao family has always been suppressed by the Zhao family in Tongzhou, mainly because of Zhao Donglei, the old man who is immortal is the best not to be ill, and it is better to have his braided hair.

If the Zhao family was still the Zhao family in the past, and the current situation was, I was really helpless. Even if I was a general, I would probably have to make friends with him. But now, it is different. The Zhao family has already fallen into the water. It will not be painful to beat the fallen water dog at this time. When will it be better to establish the status of the first family in Tongzhou? The Cao and Wang families themselves cannot afford to offend them, but they are the guest soldiers after all. After the battle and defeat the Northern Expedition Army, they will eventually leave. Even if they want to get a share of the pie in Tongzhou, they will still be strong and not suppress the local snake. It would be enough to share some of the money they should give them. For some small profits to exchange for the support of the Cao and Wang families in the court, the Yu Xiao family will have all the benefits but no harm.

Whether it is the Zhao family or the Huang family, they can only become the granary and silver treasury of the army headquarters of Tongzhou. They were not allowed to stop until they were completely squeezed out. Zhao Donglei fell down, and the Zhao family lacked a pillar and a backbone. They would be very easy to pack up. Although Zhao Gang had been a Tongzhou detachment for so many years, in Xiao Zhongze's opinion, it was not a little worse than his father, but he had a way to deal with Zhao Gang. As for the Huang family, Xiao Zhongze snorted a few times. Who told them to follow the Zhao family like a follower? This time, you don't have to be polite, and you can wipe them out like a fallen leaves.

Xiao Zhongze began to make excuses to pay out money from Zhao Huang's second family's pockets. Tongzhou is so big, and there are only so many wealthy families. If they don't leave, their own Xiao family will have to do it. If a fellow Taoist dies, I will of course have to spend some time.

In Tongzhou, another major yamen, Luowang Tongzhou branch, did not receive any news that Zhao Pu had sneaked back to Tongzhou. It must be said that the Zhao family did a good job in this regard. In the early morning of the second day after Zhao Pu was dragged into the mansion as a beggar, the guards of the Zhao Mansion sneaked out from the side door, hid all the way, and finally threw the sack into the moat.

Of course, Luowang's spies quickly took out the sack, and a person inside died terrible. Judging from his outfit and size, they were exactly the same as the beggar who was dragged into the mansion during the day. Luowang's person in charge just flattened his mouth. A beggar would die if he died. It was not a big deal. Compared to the Zhao family, it was really not worth mentioning. It was waved and the matter was revealed. However, a big fish slipped into the Zhao mansion without knowing it.

Old Master Zhao was sick, so he naturally wanted to hire a doctor. The doctor he hired was a doctor in Baorentang. This was an old shop in Tongzhou for decades. There was nothing to doubt. As one of the doctors who went to the consultation, Hong Anbang entered the gate of Zhao's mansion in a dignified manner.

Old Master Zhao is so precious. How can a doctor make people feel at ease? Baorentang naturally has to send several experienced people to consult. Although the spies in Luowang set up controls on the periphery and monitored the Zhao family, it is impossible to connect Baorentang with the official department.

The little red building is under strict vigilance. Except for the eldest young master, no one is allowed to enter. Those who serve in the little red building are old people who have been with the old master for decades. Even the other direct descendants who are close to each other are mercilessly blocked outside.

Want to greet me? Yes, just kowtow outside the building and leave. The old man knows your filial piety.

In the Little Red Mansion, Zhao Donglei, who was rumored to be very ill, was very energetic. He sat on the chair of the Grand Master, staring at Hong Anbang, who was sitting opposite him with a smile on his face.

This is a legendary figure! Zhao Donglei secretly claimed in his heart that this person was in trouble with the wind and rain in Shangjing, but he was able to compete with the concubine Xian. Although he lost in the end, he was still an amazing guy. He didn't see the person against the concubine Xian. Are there still many people alive now? Even the emperor was burping. Zhao Donglei curled his lips. For ordinary people, the emperor was a heaven and an unattainable god, but for them, the emperor was just an ordinary person, but he was lucky and became the son of the previous emperor. He respected the power in your hands, not you. Zhao Donglei was even more disdainful of the emperor like Li Xiao, who was dealt with by his wife. On the contrary, he praised the concubine Qin Rouna. In this world, the strong prey on the weak will be lost, and there is no need to make any excuses.

He lost too, but he had not lost his life, so he had a chance to make a profit. The Zhao Mansion did have the capital to make a profit, otherwise the Northern Army would not have to spend so much effort to find him. If he had the capital, he would naturally have to bargain to make a serious decision. But now, the most important thing for Zhao Donglei was to find out the other party's bottom line and the size of his role in the other party's heart, so that he could discuss this deal with confidence.

In Zhao Donglei's opinion, this is a transaction, but if you lose money in your normal transaction, you will always get it back. If you may lose your life this time, you will have to be careful. Yun Zhao's thunderous methods against the large families in the north and the area she is currently controlling make Zhao Donglei feel uneasy. How can he take a step forward?

But facing an old fox like Hong Anbang and an old fox, after only a moment of confrontation, Zhao Donglei gave up the idea of ​​exploring the other party's bottom line. Hong Anbang had seen more worlds, and compared with him, there was nothing worthy of praise except for living for a few years. He decided to go straight to the point. If he could talk, he could not talk. He respectfully sent him out and sent this evil star away. There was no need to make enemies with them. Maybe he would really win after the Northern Army. With this incense, the Zhao family could also benefit from it. Just don't be wiped out.

"I have been pursuing Mr. Hong's name for a long time." Zhao Donglei's crutch gently hit the ground. This was his usual action. Amid the jingling sound of the crutch hitting the ground, his mind would be clearer." We don't need to say anything, we should go straight to the point and go straight to the point?"

Hong Anbang smiled and nodded, "Old Master Zhao is indeed well-known and admires it. It's so good!"

"You came to me, of course, because my Zhao family is useful, and it is useful to you. Otherwise, the powerful Zhengbei Prince, who is supported by hundreds of thousands of troops, would not have thought of an old man like me. Since we are still worth some money, I would like to ask, how much is our Zhao family worth in the heart of Prince Zhengbei?"

Hong Anbang laughed: "No wonder Mr. Zhao has been doing well in Tongzhou. Xiao Zhongze has been in charge of the Tongzhou regime for 20 years and cannot shake the Zhao family's position as the number one in Tongzhou. Today, I finally understand that Mr. Zhao is the first one I have encountered when discussing major affairs of the country as business."

"This is a business, isn't it?" Zhao Donglei asked back: "My Zhao family lost a lot of money in the previous investment, but it's not that they lost all their money. There is still the capital for a second bet in your pocket. Before placing the second bet, you naturally have to see it clearly and understand it."

"Old Master is wise!" Hong Anbang gave a thumbs up, "As for seeing clearly, I think General Zhao Pu will help you more. His words are always trustworthy than mine, right? Since the old master has seen me, he has naturally become biased in his heart, right?"

"Yes, there is a bias, but I didn't make the final decision. I have the right to choose from the big and small ones. From Liang Xiaozhong, I understand the price they offered to me. What about the prince of Zhengbei?" Zhao Donglei asked.

"In a word, the Northern Army ensures the safety of everyone in the Zhao family and will never hold the Zhao family accountable for the past. As for other aristocratic families, there are examples in the previous ones." Hong Anbang said with a smile.

"The Prince of Zhengbei is going to do a business without any capital. The Zhao family and the main branches must have several thousand holes. Just one life is safe, so let them drink the northwest wind in the future?" Zhao Donglei shook his head repeatedly, "No one can change this price."

"Life is the most expensive!" Hong Anbang smiled and said, "You said, staying green mountains are there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood. With someone like the old man here, how many years can the Zhao family rise again?"

Zhao Donglei laughed to the sky, "I'm happy with this, but it's not true. If I were young for twenty years, I'd really done this business, but I'm already in my seventies this year. People who are far away from each other day might kick their legs when they can't get up in one breath. The best in the next generation is Zhao Gang and Zhao Pu. Zhao Gang has more than enough to start a business, and Zhao Pu has been broken by you and it's useless. I have to plan for the Zhao family. If the Zhengbei Army is at this price, I can only send Mr. Hong away."

Hong Anbang nodded slightly, "The old man's concern is not unreasonable. Although the prince offered this price, another order granted me full rights to handle the matter, but it is convenient for me to engage in it. Let's do this, I will add some codes, how about compared with Yang Hongfa, Luzhou?"

"Yang Hongfa? How did you deal with his Yang family? I heard that he surrendered to you. By the way, he also has a nephew who serves as an official in your Battle North Army. I heard that he is quite appreciated by the Battle North King, right?" Zhao Donglei asked.

"The old man is talking about Yang Qing. He is the one who walks under our Northern Dynasty cabinet. He is very capable and has great talent. On our side, as long as you have talent, you will have a day to stand out. The Zhao family has a century-old family and many talents have emerged. Why should Mr. Zhao worry that the Zhao family will not stand out?" Hong Anbang introduced with a smile.

"When people get old, there are always some greed. If you can earn more, you will earn more." Zhao Donglei said shyly.

"The old man knows that the Yang family is still very comfortable in our northern land. Our Northern Expedition Army just confiscated his land. As for other foreign wealth, he didn't want him any money and still belonged to him. We also discounted the real estate in Luzhou. The land is the red line of our Northern Expedition Army. The old man doesn't need to mention this. Compared with Yang Hongfa, you can also keep the wealth of Zhao. We don't want your shops and business across the country. You just need to hand over all the land owned by Zhao. This is our bottom line. Mr. Zhao is a sensible person, and I don't bargain with you. It seems pretentious. If you have a price, you can do it. If you can, Hong said goodbye!"

Zhao Donglei took a breath. Land is the lifeblood of aristocratic family. Without land, even if the aristocratic family is rich in the future, it will be a skinny dog ​​without a backbone. Yun Zhao's move was indeed above seven inches of the aristocratic family. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
