Chapter 841 Lin Fengyuan's Foresight (1)
Ten-day rounds of leave in the barracks, Tie Kui returned whenever he had leave. Today I got a vacation and went home again. He went to visit Mrs. Xiao, his four children and Aunt Lu first, and then went back to the front yard.
Zhong Shantong told him the news he had inquired recently: "The two million shi of grain and grass brought back from Yingzhou, half of them stayed in the capital, and the half went to Tongcheng." The two million shi of grain caused a little trouble in the northwest The waves, on the capital side, are calm and calm, with no waves at all.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Exchanging Fengying for two million stones of grain, Yan Wushuang has made a lot of money from this transaction."
Zhong Shantong couldn't help but said: "Before I wondered why Princess Ming would take so much food to redeem people, but I didn't expect this woman to be Huo Changqing's daughter." Huo Changqing was very kind to Yunqing, and he wanted to use food to redeem his daughter. Ming Wang and Ming Wangfei have to redeem people even if they are not happy in their hearts.
Tie Kui shook his head and said: "Feng Ying is not Huo Changqing's daughter, that is just a trick to deceive people." He knew the real reason.
Zhong Shantong asked, "Sir, how do you know that Fengying is not Huo Changqing's daughter?"
The matter has passed, and it doesn't hurt to tell Zhong Shantong about it: "Fengying knows my identity, and the two million stones of grain to redeem Fengying is a superficial reason. In fact, Princess Ming is using them to buy my peace."
Zhong Shantong was frightened half to death when he heard this, and his voice was a little trembling: "Master, didn't he almost..." The master and he had already walked around the palace of Lord Hades.
Tie Kui looked very calm, and said: "It's all over. Is it peaceful in the northwest these days?"
Zhong Shantong calmed down, and told about the rumors he heard in the morning: "I heard that smallpox is rampant in Gaocheng, and the son of the world also has smallpox after being infected."
Tie Kui's expression turned cold all of a sudden: "The news is true?" There will be a serious illness in the northwest.
Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "The gossip has not been confirmed yet." Whether the gossip is true or not, they have to decide for themselves.
Tie Kui twirled the jade ring on his thumb, and said after a long time, "This kind of thing won't spread widely. I'm afraid that there is smallpox in the northwest, and my son may also be infected, but the raging smallpox is probably just adding fuel to the vinegar." Smallpox The contagion is strong, but as long as it is properly controlled, it will not spread in a large area.
Zhong Shantong said with some concern: "If that's the case, wouldn't the son be in danger?"
Tie Kui didn't say a word. Very few people who get smallpox survive.
Zhong Shantong said with a sigh: "I heard that the son of the world is extremely intelligent, and has inherited the advantages of King Ming and Princess Ming. It would be a pity if such a child is gone." Such a perfect heir is gone. Big loss.
Hearing this, Tie Kui paused for a moment as he turned his finger, and then said softly, "Maybe it's because he is too perfect that he got smallpox."
Zhong Shantong said with some disbelief: "Master, what you mean is that if my son was infected with smallpox, he would be killed by others?"
Even if Qihao really had smallpox, he couldn't help him. Tie Kui said: "It's just a guess. Some time ago, the capital captured a lot of intelligence personnel lurking in the northwest of the capital. Has Falcon contacted you these days?" Know.
Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "No." After finishing speaking, Zhong Shantong said with a worried face, "Master, do you think Falcon will be caught?"
Tie Kui shook his head and said: "Falcon has been safe and sound under Yan Wushuang's eyes for more than ten years and has developed such a large power. He has his own ability. It is not so easy for Yan Wushuang to catch him. But this time they I am afraid that the organization has suffered a heavy blow."
Zhong Shantong nodded and said: "There is a traitor among them, and the traitor's position is still very high." Having said that,
Zhong Shan said with lingering fear: "Master, apart from Falcon and Fengying, who else in their organization knows your identity?" Don't let them be cautious, but something went wrong on Falcon's side.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Not anymore."
After talking about the Falcon, Zhong Shantong told Tie Kui one thing: "Yan Wushuang transferred Lin Fengyuan back, and we haven't made any arrangements yet."
Tie Kui not only has no ill feeling toward Lin Fengyuan, but thinks that this young man is good-natured and worth making friends with. It's just that Yan Wushuang was suspicious, so he didn't act on it. Tie Kui said: "Old Kong was dismissed by Yan Wushuang, and Lin Fengyuan is afraid to fill his vacancy." Tie Kui said that the old Kong was the commander of the infantry battalion, and his work was delayed because of drinking. In a fit of anger, Yan Wushuang dismissed him and investigated him.
In the evening, Zhong Shan handed a greeting card to Tie Kui with a strange face and said, "Master, Lin Fengyuan handed over the greeting card, saying that he would like to talk to Master tomorrow." My master has no friendship with Lin Fengyuan, and I don't know why Will send greetings over.
Tie Kui accepted the post, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the people in the Lin family that I will prepare wine tomorrow and wait for General Lin." Tie Kui had no idea what Lin Fengyuan was doing here.
At the end of the second day, Lin Fengyuan came to visit.
Seeing Lin Fengyuan, Tie Kui said cheerfully, "Long time no see, General Lin is still handsome!"
Lin Fengyuan wore an azure-colored brocade round-neck gown, which was embroidered with dark patterns all over, and a dark silver inlaid jade brocade belt was tied around his waist. A head of blue silk was tied up with a jasper hairpin, which just complemented the brocade robe. Dressed like this, he doesn't look like a general leading troops to kill the enemy, but more like a scholar.
Raising his hand, Lin Fengyuan smiled and said, "General Tie has won the award. In terms of style, Lin is not as good as General Tie!" In fact, Tie Kui hasn't shaved since he grew a beard. Now he has a beard all over his face. , his real appearance, but few people can explain clearly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Tie Kui invited Lin Fengyuan into the house, and led him directly to the study without going anywhere else.
After entering the study, Tie Kui said with a smile: "Tie is a rough man, he speaks directly. General Lin may as well speak up if he has something to say." To the outside world, Tie Kui is rich and rough, no different from other generals who climbed up from the bottom . Of course, after playing the role for a long time, Tie Kui can't tell what he is like.
Lin Fengyuan smiled softly, put his hands down, and said: "General Tie is good at fighting, and he is even better at doing business. Lin admires him, so he came here to learn from General Tie."
Tie Kui said with a sullen face, "I don't know what General Lin said?"
Lin Fengyuan smiled and said, "Tong Chrome's caravan and his shops in the capital earn nearly one million taels of silver every year. Don't tell me, General Tie, that none of this has anything to do with you?"
Tie Kui asked Tong Chrome to set up a caravan to open a shop. First, he wanted to earn some money for himself to help his family, and second, it was convenient to inquire about news. Much of the news that Zhong Shantong has inquired now comes from Dasheng Store. It's just that he didn't expect Tong Chrome to attract a group of bodyguards to become a hit, and the business grew bigger and bigger, becoming one of the largest caravans.
The bigger the stall, the bigger the risk. Tie Kui is a person with a great sense of crisis. Seeing that this piece of fat could not be swallowed by himself, he invited three generals with real power to buy shares. No one in this world would think too much money, not to mention that it was a legitimate business, and there would be no future troubles if you took part in the shares. All three people you invited took part in the shares. With so many powerful generals as their backers, even if someone was jealous, they would not dare to use any low-handed means to run against them.
Tie Kui laughed loudly and said, "I have shares in the Dasheng Caravan and Dasheng Store. It's no secret in the capital, even the emperor knows about it."
Yan Wushuang did know about this, but Tie Kui was doing a legitimate business, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Furthermore, he brought many people to make money, so Yan Wushuang turned a blind eye to this.
Lin Fengyuan smiled lightly and said, "I told you, General Tie has a good way of making money, and Lin came here specially to learn from it. I hope General Tie will not hesitate to teach you."
Tie Kui felt that Lin Fengyuan was not kind, but he didn't show it on the surface: "I don't know how to do business, but when I encountered a good opportunity, with the help of my colleagues in the army, I found a reliable leader and shopkeeper. I’m doing business by myself, so I’m afraid I’ll lose even my trouser pockets.” When the caravan was formed, Liaodong was relatively unruly at that time, and the caravan led by Tong Chrome was able to do so not only because they themselves were born as bodyguards and were very capable. , also relying on the help of Tie Kui's colleagues. Of course, this is not for nothing, and everyone has benefited. In this regard, Tie Kui always adheres to the idea of making money together.
Lin Fengyuan said with a smile: "General Tie is too modest."
Tie Kui began to complain: "Don't look at the caravans and shops making money, but it costs a lot of money to pave the roads when the stalls are big. After all these years, I haven't received much money." This is half true and half false. Over the years, the caravan has fought with several shops daily, earning him a lot of money. However, Tie Kui adhered to the principle of eating meat and drinking soup together, and the several generals who participated in the shares went away. In addition, he has been taking care of those subordinates who have had an unsatisfactory life. In fact, he has not saved much money over the years. However, by doing so, he not only won over a group of generals, but also got a group of subordinates who cared about him.
Lin Fengyuan smiled, and didn't go around in circles with Tie Kui again, and said, "I want to make a deal with General Tie."
Tie Kui became more and more vigilant in his heart, but he laughed loudly on his face: "It turns out that General Lin came to find Tie for business, so tell me earlier! I don't have any other hobbies, but I like money. Money is a thing, that's it. The more the merrier."
Lin Fengyuan smiled, and said: "This time I'm going to Shengjing, passing by General Tie's hometown..." At this point, Lin Fengyuan deliberately paused.
Tie Kui didn't seem to understand what Lin Fengyuan said, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I haven't been back for ten years, how time flies!" Tie Kui's parents are gone, and there are only two older sisters left. However, under Tie Kui's deliberate enlightenment, the two families have become well-known wealthy households in the local area.
Lin Fengyuan felt that Tie Kui was really calm, and still said with a smile: "But I didn't expect that I heard an unbelievable news there, saying that General Tie was adopted, not Mr. Tie's own."
Tie Kui said with a sullen face, "General Lin wouldn't believe such nonsense, would he?" He knew that Lin Fengyuan wouldn't come to the door if he had nothing to do, so he didn't know what his plan was.
Lin Fengyuan still had a smile on his face, and said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, what matters is what the emperor thinks when he knows this?"
A stern look flashed in Tie Kui's eyes, and he said, "General Lin, you can go and tell the Emperor about this. Let's see if the Emperor will believe this kind of thing that happens out of nothing."
Lin Fengyuan laughed out loud: "General Tie knows more about the emperor's temperament than I do."
Tie Kui could have been under Yan Wushuang for so many years, how could he be frightened by Lin Fengyuan's few words: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Lin Fengyuan was not worried, but said: "If you want people to know, you have to do nothing. General Tie, if the emperor knows about this, he only needs to arrest your two sisters for interrogation, and then he will know the truth. I can't hide it anymore."
Although Ning Hai looks a bit like the real Tie Kui, and the Tie family also lived on the mountain at that time, and rarely went down the mountain. But the Tie family doesn't live in seclusion, they still have to deal with people, especially relatives. And some behaviors of Ning Hai, which are very different from ordinary children, were naturally noticed by caring people. Of course, even if the people who saw it had doubts at the time, they would not ask more questions. After all, it has nothing to do with oneself, and no one wants to offend others for nothing.
It's just that Tie Kui's two elder sisters got rich because of Tie Kui's convenience, and those relatives wanted to take advantage of it. Without taking advantage, some sour words came out.
If other people hear these groundless rumors, they won't take it to heart at all. But Lin Fengyuan had dealt with Tie Kui before, and he always felt that he didn't look like a child from the Orion family, so he sent his confidant Gu Jiu to inquire about this matter secretly. In the end, he really got something valuable from Tie Kui's uncle.
Seeing being threatened, Tie Kui was not angry, but sneered and said, "Lin Fengyuan, Tie was not scared too much."
Lin Fengyuan smiled and said: "The real Tie Kui didn't read a book before he was eight years old, and Tie Kui's parents were also from the mountains, but Li Wangcai went up to the mountain once and found you writing on the ground. And the handwriting is correct and beautiful." This Li Wangcai is Tie Kui's uncle, and he is famous in the local area for being lazy.
There was a murderous look in Tie Kui's eyes: "Lin Fengyuan, you can eat food freely, but you can't talk freely." This incident about Lin Fengyuan did happen, and he was fooled by his parents later. It was also that incident that made Tie Kui afraid to let others know that he could read before he learned from his husband. Because it has been too long, and Li Wangcai never mentioned it, and he himself forgot.
Lin Fengyuan was not afraid of Tie Kui's warning, but said with a smile on his face: "Now that the dynasty has changed, it is not difficult for General Tie to restore his true identity. Kui's identity? Could it be that there is something unspeakable about General Tie's background?"
Tie Kui said expressionlessly: "Lin Fengyuan, I wonder if you have heard a saying? Curious people tend to die quickly."
Lin Fengyuan smiled calmly: "There are many people who want me to die these years, but in the end they all died, but I am still alive." People in Dingguo's mansion did not slander him, but all those people He made life worse than death.
Tie Kui looked at Lin Fengyuan and said nothing. (to be continued)
