Chapter 43 Secret Planning, Accumulated Wind and Rain

morning.

The morning dew is not scattered.

The morning glow is beginning to appear.

Zhuang Ming faces the east, sits quietly with eyes closed, exhales and exhales, circulates the true qi, accumulates the excess true qi that has grown through practice, accumulates it in the atrium, and turns it into a Hunyuan Yiqi sword.

And the young dragon is like a cloud snake, entrenched on its shoulders, facing the sun, its eyes flickering, and a ray of fresh air in its mouth, after breathing, it is like a snake letter endlessly.

Zhuang Ming let out a sigh of relief when his meritorious deeds were completed.

In recent days, after Song Tianyuan, King Chen came to Huai'an to take power. He seemed to be relaxed and freehand, and he made a plan to resolve the deadlock, but in fact the depression in his heart was not small.

"It's finally safe."

Thinking like this, he saw that Shuang Ling came over cautiously with soup.

"My son..."

"Put it there, I'll eat it later." Zhuang Ming laughed, and said again: "Have you eaten it yet?"

"Not yet." Shuang Ling pursed her lips.

"You eat first."

Zhuang Ming said so, and then asked: "How is the situation today?"

Shuang Ling said: "After you fell asleep last night, Master Lu He came over, but saw that you were resting, so he didn't dare to disturb you."

Zhuang Ming nodded. Since Lu He didn't dare to disturb him to rest, it meant that the matter was not urgent.

"What is Lu He here to report?"

"Last night, all the restrictions on Zhuang's firm were lifted."

"Well, King Chen's order is not too late."

Zhuang Ming laughed, and laughed at himself: "If I were naive, maybe I would still think that he is sincerely making friends with me and let go of past grievances."

After speaking, he asked again: "Did Lu He mention the loss?"

Shuang Ling nodded hurriedly, took out something from his bosom, and said, "He brought Bai Lao's statistics, this is the list."

Zhuang Ming took it, frowned slightly, and sighed: "The loss is not small, and a lot of money has been lost. Fortunately, no one was killed, but it is also expected. Now it can be operated normally, which is not bad."

Shuang Ling hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Young Master, Master Lu He also asked, those companies that originally cooperated with Zhuang's Commercial Firm for mutual benefit, see King Chen's pressure, either stand aside or add insult to injury, what should they do? "

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "During this period, those who still express good intentions will be given preferential treatment in the future. But those who are watching from the sidelines will be treated as usual. As for those who make trouble, it will be decided according to the interests..."

Shuang Ling was stunned, unable to understand why the young master was so tolerant.

Zhuang Ming said indifferently: "Silly girl, we are in business, and what we earn is silver taels. If it is not necessary, we have to let go of the conflict between emotions and the differences between likes and dislikes."

"Those who make trouble, if they don't cause too much damage and can bring us greater benefits, they may not be able to continue to cooperate. As long as the other party is willing to bow their heads, apologize, and compensate for the loss, it will be over on the surface. What happens in the dark? , we only need to know it well, and we will do it in the future.”

"Of course, those who don't have self-knowledge, they don't have enough capital, they can't bring more benefits to Zhuang's business, but they hurt us, so let their business collapse and cease to exist..."

As he said that, Zhuang Ming thought of something again, and said, "Give me an order to let Lu He, Bai Lao, and Yue Yang come over. As for Bai Qing and Liu He, they were injured last time, so let them get along with you." Other brothers, continue to recuperate..."

When Shuang Ling heard the words, she said yes, and she was about to step back and pass on the order.

At this time, Zhuang Ming said again: "At noon, you use my token to go to the warehouse and get a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng. It should be the one that was bought in June last year and cost 3,200 taels. .”

This branch of old mountain ginseng, the power of medicinal effect is exactly what the young dragon needs, its medicinal power belongs to, and the direction of the five elements is also in line with the current season and time.

Taking it at noon today, it should be the time when the effect of this old wild ginseng can be exerted the most.

And the young dragon has grown so fast that the naked eye can see it these days, and it has grown by one foot.

He controls the young dragon with his thoughts every day, breaths out, and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon. It is not slow to enter the country, but it is thanks to these treasures that can be called heaven and earth.

Young dragons swallow it every day and absorb the medicinal effect, which is of great benefit.

However, this way of raising dragons can only be supported by him, the richest man in Huai'an.

"After all, no wealth is not enough to support the Tao..."

Zhuang Ming sighed with emotion, and his desire to continue to grow the Zhuang's firm and expand its business became stronger and stronger.

But before that, the matter at hand must be settled.

Because he knew in his heart that King Chen would never let it go!

——

Old Bai arrived first.

Immediately after, Lu He and Yue Yang also rushed over.

"My son..."

"coming."

Zhuang Ming signaled them to sit down, and then slowly said: "Now the sealed-up warehouses and shops of Zhuang's Commercial Bank have been unsealed, and the crisis is temporarily relieved. We can breathe a sigh of relief, but we can't really settle down. "

"My lord, you mean..." The three of them looked at each other with worried expressions.

"Do you really think that you can force him to truly compromise by making a strong move this time?"

Zhuang Ming chuckled lightly and said, "King Chen compared himself to a god, and when he came to Huai'an, he was like a god descending into the world. We are all ordinary people, like ants, how could he compromise with us?"

"King Chen never puts us in his eyes, but this time he has suffered a big loss. He is definitely not angry in his heart, and he will definitely wait for the opportunity to retaliate."

"Now he just doesn't want to make a big move and mess up his plan in Huai'an."

"But once his affairs in Huai'an are roughly settled, and he is free to deal with Zhuang's firm."

"Although I threatened Chen Wang with the joint impeachment of officials from the Sixteen Houses of Huai'an, in fact, I am not sure, because these officials are also black-hearted people, and they may not compromise."

"If I forcefully persecute him like this, I'm afraid that the officials of the sixteen mansions will be ruthless before King Chen is threatened, and they will join forces to catch us all and silence them."

"As for King Chen's act of raising the bandits to be self-respecting and killing the good..."

Zhuang Ming paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, King Chen has already cleaned up his tail, but Lu He inquired a lot of news, I guessed it with my heart, thought about everything, avoided the important and ignored the minor, specious, so I wrote it, but I wrote it. The content must be in line with the general process. In this way, Chen Wang will definitely feel that I really have the evidence, and will attach great importance to it, and clean up the tail of this matter."

"As long as he finds out all these things and cleans them up, we, as private businessmen, actually have nothing to do to get him."

"At that time, it's time for him to strike again."

"The seizure of Zhuang's business this time is certainly a catastrophe for us, but for him, it's just a matter of convenience. But, until the next time..."

After a pause, Zhuang Ming said with a dignified expression, "Next time, his attack will definitely be more ruthless and ruthless, enough to collapse the Zhuang's business overnight, leaving me to die without a place to die."

The faces of the three present all changed.

It's just that there is not much fear.

Ever since they took the young master's order to ambush King Chen's subordinates, they had already thought about the worst possible outcome.

"My son means..."

"This time, I never thought that I would be able to turn hostility into friendship with King Chen. It was originally an irreconcilable grievance. After this time, I will never die."

Zhuang Ming said: "It's just that now he is afraid and puts the big things first, so he put us little people down for the time being. He just doesn't want to make extra troubles, delay the time, and go to the big things in his eyes first, but in fact , we are actually procrastinating as well.”

Lu He saluted and said, "My lord already has a plan?"

Zhuang Ming exhaled, and said: "Compared to King Chen and other powerful officials in the court, we are just ordinary people. To fight with him is like hitting a stone with an egg, so our vitality lies in the court..."

Yue Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhuang Ming observed his words and expressions, and said with a smile, "Yue Yang, did you think of it?"

Yue Yang and Yue Ting, two brothers, have very different personalities.

Yue Yang, who has always been taciturn, only concentrates on doing things, and rarely speaks.

Hearing Zhuang Ming's question at this moment, he said seriously: "My lord, do you want to...drive away tigers and devour wolves?"

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "The officials of the sixteen mansions in Huai'an are not enough to shake King Chen, so let those old foxes who are in the same position as King Chen in the capital's court hall come and bring down King Chen."

Bai Lao hesitated and said: "Those officials in the court hall are also people with deep plans. They have been fighting with King Chen for so many years, but they still can't win him. What can you do?"

Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Let's make a fake first."

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other with astonishment.

Zhuang Ming laughed, and said: "An emperor who can secretly carry out new policies in the sixteen mansions of Huai'an will not be a foolish emperor. However, the emperor may think that King Chen is more capable, so he used it in the sixteen mansions of Huai'an. This king with a different surname, and we just need to let him know that if he uses Chen Wang, it is very likely to cause even more terrible chaos, then... maybe Chen Wang is very likely to be transferred by him, and another one will be found to replace him King Chen, at least this new high-ranking official will not be like King Chen, who has had grievances with us from the very beginning."

Lu He hesitated, "What do you want to build, young master?"

Zhuang Ming said: "King Chen once said that even if he kills me, he can still convict me. He can forge any witnesses. And I have to follow this method to create evidence that he intends to rebel. !"

"Rebellion?" All three of them showed surprise.

"good."

Zhuang Ming said: "This person is ambitious, greedy, and has a gloomy temperament. I don't believe that he would have thought about this..."

As he said that, Zhuang Ming smiled and said, "So, it may not be a fraud. I guess King Chen must have this idea in his heart, but this time, we will help him pick out his ambition and present it to the emperor."

Lu He hesitated: "But what is fake is only fake after all, and the evidence cannot be verified."

If it was so simple to fake it, how could those old foxes in the court not have imagined that they were so oppressed by King Chen?

Zhuang Ming said: "If the officials in the court do this, it will inevitably leave traces. It is just a power struggle in the court. The emperor must have doubts in his heart and will not believe it easily."

"However, we are not in the court, not in the eyes of the emperor, but ordinary people far away from the court."

"The rumors and evidence from the people may even make the emperor more suspicious."

"People's hearts are inherently complicated. Since ancient times, those who are talented and bold must be suspicious."

"Even if this move can't kill King Chen, at least it will make the emperor afraid."

"Nowadays, among the sixteen prefectures in Huai'an, King Chen is the most powerful, and he seems to be the overlord."

"It is said that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and that King Chen has led the army. There is also a saying that 'the general is out, and the king's fate is not tolerated'."

"Actually, if you really want to talk about it, at this moment, King Chen, in Huai'an, can't help but have this kind of mentality."

"When the emperor realizes this, he will be even more afraid of King Chen. To prevent him from dominating Huai'an and becoming a powerful force on his own, he will definitely be transferred away. This is enough."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Ming said again: "This matter must be done quickly, before King Chen is ready to take action against us, he will be too busy to take care of himself."

Lu He nodded and said, "I understand. I have many contacts in the martial arts world, so I can release some news."

Bai Lao paused for a moment, and said, "Is the old slave going to handle the falsification?"

Zhuang Ming nodded, said yes, and looked at Yue Yang again.

Yue Yang thought about it and said: "This matter must be heard by Datian and let the emperor know. There are also many passes in it. I will go to Beijing first."

Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, and said: "It's not urgent for a while. What I said just now is just a general direction. As for actions, the subtleties are often the key to changes. Tonight I will personally make plans, tomorrow In the morning, you guys come again, take my bag, and then go about your own business."

When the three of them heard the words, they all bowed and saluted, and they said yes.
