Chapter 313 Go Make Money

caobang

Their Caogang business has been booming recently.

This time, in order to transport this batch of grain, Xue Xu and Qin Sheng used a large number of Caogang manpower through Ji Wuyin.

As far as the Cao Gang is concerned, they can be described as stampeding workers, sailors, and trackers all working together, and they have been busy all night.

After finishing the work, Xue Xu not only paid enough wages for Ji Wuyin to hand it over on his behalf, but also gave Caobang a few boxes of pills.

Lin Shan, the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, saw that these pills were Jingui Shenqi Pills, Xiaoyao Pills, and Liushen Pills that were currently selling well in the Southland. Among them, Jingui Shenqi Pills accounted for the majority. Lin Shan secretly thought that these people really know how to taste.

When the medicine was distributed, everyone was laughing and joking. Many sailors, trackers, and singles took Jingui Shenqi Pills, and those with families took Xiaoyao Pills and Liushen Pills for their wives and children.

Liaodong County, Fang County

At this time, it was almost dawn, and the Fangxian port terminal, which was heavily guarded by soldiers, was very busy.

Three large ships were moored on the shore, waiting to be loaded.

On the shore, goods were stacked in an orderly manner ready to be shipped to the Southland.

"Get to work!"

Following Qin Yan's order, the soldiers began to carry the goods to the ship in an orderly manner.

First, the threshing wheel and various parts of the harvester were carried on board, then boxes of medicinal materials and pills, and finally boxes of books and papers were carried on board.

Wu Ren led seven or eight members of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and wanted to help, but they were dismissed as being in the way.

"Shopkeeper Wu, you have good brains and need to be well protected. These goods are not enough for our brothers." The speaker was a centurion who was once a soldier of Qin Yan. He knew Wu Ren and his group. They went to the Southland to make money, and they were especially treasured.

Wu Ren: ...I think he also came from a bodyguard agency, and he often did these jobs before.

The more people there are, the more powerful it is, and if the workers are not lazy, the speed will be fast.

Not long after, someone came to report that all the goods had been loaded onto the ship and they could set off.

Wu Ren didn't waste any time and boarded the ship immediately, "Boys, let's go!"

…

After a busy night, Zhu Changnian was very tired when he returned to his mansion.

Zhu Changning also stayed up all night, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.

Seeing Zhu Changnian coming back at this time, he couldn't help but stand up, "Brother, have everyone been sent over?"

Zhu Changnian nodded. This time they sent a total of ten children out. Three of the original thirteen were eliminated by Zhu Changnian.

"I have sent people to pick up Huating, and I have also ordered them to send him quietly to Ji Mansion." Zhu Changning's expression was full of stubbornness at this time.

Zhu Huating is the smartest among the ten-year-old children in the direct line of the Zhu family. Zhu Changning really couldn't bear to let him perish with the family.

Fortunately, he was visiting relatives this time. Zhu Changning simply asked someone to pick him up quietly, and then fell into the water and died, preparing to send him away as well.

"You...that's all." Zhu Changnian was also reluctant to let go of that smart child.

"Brother, I really want to send someone to kill Xie Zhan." Zhu Changning really couldn't swallow this breath.

Zhu Changnian looked at him helplessly. The Zhu family, ever since Zhu Congwen entered the game, has become a sure thing.

If their entire clan is really destroyed, there will be nothing left to say. Now for the little hope of survival, they have to endure it first.

So they need to show hindsight, not foresight.

Xie Zhan is very smart and Zhu Changnian doesn't want to gamble.

At this moment, the concierge ran over with a panicked look on his face, "First Master, Second Master, it's not good, our Zhu Mansion is surrounded by officers and soldiers."

Zhu Changnian and Zhu Changning looked at each other. They had only one feeling. The people from the government arrived very quickly. Fortunately, they didn't delay last night, otherwise the Zhu family would really be ruined.

Mrs. Zhu asked in panic, "What happened?"

Zhu Changnian shook his head. It was best for him not to say anything now.

The Zhu family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and everyone could only enter but not leave.

Such a battle made the other uninformed Zhu family members panic.

The imperial envoy who came to the Southland this time was none other than Zuo Anmin.

As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters. Since the news was delivered by Xie Zhan through Zuo Anmin, Song Mo sent Zuo Anmin there and he was waiting for their good news.

On the first day, the Zhu family was surrounded by officers and soldiers. It looks like it is surrounded but not attacked.

Zhu Changnian quickly realized that the government was trying to prevent the Zhu family's property from being lost.

For three days, neither the imperial envoy nor the county governor showed up.

Before this, the two clans of Chen and Lu were fighting inextricably.

Originally, the Chen family was invincible against the Lu family. After all, the Lu family was the second most powerful family among the six major families.

Moreover, the Lu family mainly engaged in the paper industry and books, and was known as a scholarly family. The Lu family originally had a good reputation among scholars and was highly respected by scholars.

But who let the Lu family be in the wrong at this time? Public opinion is all on the side of the Chen family.

During this period, because of what Lu Xihua did and because Lu Yuan protected Lu Xihua, the Lu family suffered a lot of attacks from public opinion.

Many of the Lu family's shops were boycotted by scholars.

This made the Chen family and the Lu family evenly matched.

The Liu and Zhang families also took action from time to time to pick up bargains.

Only the Gu family, under the constraints of the head of the family and the young master, both the members of the Gu family and the in-laws can still restrain themselves.

At this time, the whole situation was still controllable, at least it didn't turn into a mess.

As soon as the Zhu family was surrounded, everyone was calm and alert for a moment.

Lu Yuan, in particular, wanted to stop and wait and see what happened, but his intuition was that something was not good.

But because Lu Xihua had not been dealt with for a long time, the Chen family became angry and turned towards the Lu family. They don't care what happens to the Zhu family, they just want revenge anyway, and if the Lu family doesn't get the retribution they deserve, they won't be able to express their anger.

The Lu family was also forced to fight, and the two families were still fighting inextricably.

As the Zhu family was besieged for three days, the situation gradually changed.

In these three days, all the industries and shops of the Zhu family were forced to close, cease operations, and cease operations.

From then on, in addition to the Chen family who attacked the Lu family with all their strength, there were also the Lu family, the Liu and Zhang families, and some in-laws of the Gu family who couldn't help but take action.

The Liu and Zhang families took advantageous actions more frequently and aggressively. In fact, at this time, the two families had already stepped into chaos. They ripped apart the resources of the Zhu family, and from time to time they stepped on the Chen family and the Lu family who were fighting each other.

On the fourth day, the imperial envoy and the county governor finally showed up.

They came to Zhu's house hand in hand.

Zhu Changnian looked at Zhu Congwen who was detained by them and knew that they should have gone to Xiaozhuya Island to check and arrest people in the past two days.

Zuo Anmin asked Zhu Changnian, who was kneeling at the front, "Zhu Changnian, do you know your guilt?"

"What crime did the common people commit?"

"You, Zhu Jia, are digging gold mines privately. The evidence of your crime is conclusive, but you still want to deny it?"

"Sir, this is impossible! There are no gold mines in our Zhu family's property!"

"Your son Zhu Congwen has already mobilized manpower to mine gold mines, and you still deny it?"

Now Zhu Congwen seemed to be too frightened, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.

Zhu Changnian knelt and moved forward two steps, raised his hand and slapped his son twice.

"Nie Zi, why don't you tell me where you got the gold mine? Where did our Zhu family get the gold mine!" Zhu Changnian asked sternly.

The two slaps from his biological father brought Zhu Congwen back to his senses. He shouted heartbreakingly, "It was Xie Zhan who sold me the gold mine! It was Xie Zhan who sold me the gold mine!" He did not dare to say that he forced it. Xie Zhan sold him, but he did it wrongly.

He knew now that he had gotten into serious trouble. Private gold mining is nothing as long as it is not discovered. But once discovered, it is a serious crime! He thought that no one knew about the gold mine, so he was so brave.

"You are confused. This is obviously a trap set by others. You think it is a pie in the sky, but it is a trap that will make our Zhu family irreversible!" When he said this, Zhu Changnian burst into tears.

"Dad, my son was deceived by Xie Zhan and harmed the family!" Zhu Congwen also reacted at this time. The main reason was that the people from the court came so quickly, as if he had just fallen into the trap and as soon as he took the bait, others immediately closed the net. .

Zhu Changnian shouted loudly, "Xie Zhan, you caused two hundred lives of my Zhu family, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"

When Zuo Anmin heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense! Someone is coming and puts the entire Zhu family in prison!"

The final conversation between Zhu Changnian and Zhu Congwen was so loud that several other families who sent people to inquire about the news heard it.
