Chapter 88 The Thief Who Got the Wrong Way (Thanks to 'Purple Myrtle Knight' for becoming the leader of this book)
Zhu Xizhong came and brought half a fat sheep, which was said to be fed with some precious medicinal herbs.
"You need to take care of your body." As a brother, the old dude's behavior was impeccable. Considering that Jiang Qingzhi was a single man, he often brought him some good things.
Jiang Qingzhi personally made a pot of stewed mutton.
The two of them drank and discussed the rectification matters.
"Someone told me before." Zhu Xizhong took a sip of wine, chewed the mutton carefully, and swallowed it slowly, "For many things, it is better to follow the rules of others. There is also a saying that the first rafter to stick out will rot first."
"How did you respond?" Jiang Qingzhi asked calmly.
"Do you think I will give in?" Zhu Xizhong glanced at him, "I told him to tell those people behind him to either give way or let's have a fight!"
Hey!
How could this old dude be so bloody?
Jiang Qingzhi raised his glass.
Zhu Xizhong sneered, "This is the first time you have taken the initiative to toast today."
Jiang Qingzhi laughed.
Zhu Xizhong drank the wine, his eyes were bleak, "No one wants to be smooth with everyone, but Qingzhi, I have the entire Duke's Mansion on my shoulders, my family depends on me, and my ancestors are watching over me. The bigger the family business, the more worries there are. This person! He dare not act recklessly."
Jiang Qingzhi nodded to show his understanding.
"You are free from worries right now, which makes your brother envious!" Zhu Xizhong was really envious.
After the meal, Jiang Qingzhi sent Zhu Xizhong away and instructed, "Send some of the food we made at home to the Chengguo Mansion tomorrow."
As a person, even if it is a brother, you have to return the gift when it is due. Otherwise, over time, this friendship will be mixed with other things.
At the entrance of the alley, two men stared at Jiang Qingzhi.
"Let's do it tonight."
"I just don't understand, is it necessary?"
"When Jiang Qingzhi was training his troops, many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. It was the same in our mansion. But who would have thought that a veteran general in the army said that Jiang Qingzhi's training method was extremely advanced, and he was far inferior to..."
"It's just paper talk."
"It's just this paper talk. The higher-ups asked us to sneak into the Jiang family tonight to look for military tactics."
"It's not difficult at all."
"It's not difficult. Jiang Qingzhi only has two guards. Dou Jialan was originally a member of the Imperial Guards. The young servant looks innocent. The woman is not alert enough and the boy is sleepy. This is a good opportunity for us to make a contribution."
"How much reward can you tell me?"
"No, but I think it's enough to keep us happy for a while."
"That's good……"
As the sun sets, smoke rises from every household.
"Boss, go home for dinner."
"Get back here right now, you bastard."
After dinner, Fucheng came to ask Jiang Qingzhi for instructions.
"Those two beef dealers delivered more than ten cows yesterday. Jia Qian wanted to lower the price..."
"Lowering the price can help us attract a lot of business, but it will also disrupt the market." Jiang Qingzhi walked in the courtyard with a palm-leaf fan in his hand. "Ask Jia Qian to come tomorrow."
"Yes."
Fu Cheng agreed and reported some family matters. Seeing that Jiang Qingzhi looked a little tired, he took his leave.
"Tell the kitchen to buy some nourishing ingredients tomorrow to nourish Uncle." Fu Cheng arranged the shopping for tomorrow and then went back to rest.
Lying on the bed, Fucheng suddenly said, "This family is missing something."
He thought about it and suddenly realized, "There's a mistress missing!"
He is just a housekeeper, but he takes care of all the household affairs. No wonder it feels inappropriate.
However, it was not his turn to worry about this matter.
"go to bed!"
Fucheng closed his eyes.
In the dream, the familiar palace appeared.
He stood in an open space. The palaces behind and in front of him were tall and majestic, and their huge shadows covered him tightly.
"The noble man is here."
someone shouted.
Countless people knelt down one after another.
Fucheng was unable to move, worried about being punished, anxious...
Suddenly, his body shook and he slowly opened his eyes.
……
In the alley, two dark shadows approached the Jiang family. One of them listened attentively to the noise inside and nodded to his companion.
The two of them jumped over the wall easily.
I looked around, but there was no movement.
The night breeze caresses the skin, making you feel relaxed and happy.
The two of them headed towards the backyard.
Until the backyard study.
"right here."
"You keep your eyes on the surroundings."
"Don't worry, those two guards sleep like pigs."
"it is good."
A dark figure tried to open the lock.
The lock is naturally the best, but Black Shadow is an expert at this and it just takes a little more effort.
Click!
The lock was opened, and the sound was clear in the night.
The shadow whispered, "Any movement?"
There was silence behind him.
"Hey! I'm asking you a question!"
He suddenly felt that something was wrong above his head.
I just looked up.
A pair of green eyes were on the roof, looking down at him.
Then, green eyes fell.
Something swung violently towards me.
"Meow!"
"what!"
As soon as the man screamed, he regretted his decision.
It's a cat!
The shadow shook his head vigorously, trying to throw away the cat that was grabbing his face, and turned around and cursed: "Why don't you help?"
Behind him, his companion lay quietly on the ground.
A hunched old man coughed dryly and said, "Your lock picking skills are quite good."
The black shadow took out the dagger without hesitation and stabbed.
The little old man coughed dryly and stretched out his hand as if he was grabbing something.
The black shadow only felt his wrist tighten, followed by a sharp pain.
The hand loosened and the knife fell.
The old man said to the cat that continued to scratch at Shadow's shoulder: "Duoduo, that's enough, that's enough."
"Meow!"
The two thieves were brought to the front yard, and Dou Jialan and Sun Chonglou were both awakened.
"I failed in my duty." Dou Jialan was overwhelmed with shame.
"Ah!" Sun Chonglou yawned, "Master, how could you hear them entering the house?"
"The human body is amazing. There is an alert thought in the brain. Even after falling asleep, you can sense movements that you cannot sense at other times. This is the wonder of the five senses. I will teach you later."
Fucheng carried a thief in each hand and entered the utility room easily.
"Origin." Fu Cheng asked casually. The two shadows were silent.
"It seems that you two are tough guys." Fu Cheng actually looked a little happy, "I haven't seen such tough guys in many years, and I actually feel happy about them. Stone."
"Master, what are you doing?" Sun Chonglou asked.
"You go out first."
"Why?" Sun Chonglou was puzzled.
Fu Cheng glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid you'll have a nightmare."
His words actually aroused Sun Chonglou's curiosity and he must watch it.
"In a few years." Fu Cheng kicked him out, then glanced at Dou Jialan, "I heard that the Jinyiwei has its own way of using torture. Why, do you also want to see the torture methods used in the palace?"
Dou Jialan nodded.
"Alright."
Sun Chonglou was waiting outside bored.
Suddenly, a suppressed cry was heard from inside.
It was like screams from the Netherworld coming one after another...
The sound seemed to be forced out from the throat and chest, accompanied by the night wind, making people shudder...
After an unknown amount of time, Dou Jialan came out, his face looking pale.
She suddenly squatted down, retching.
"You... have it?" Sun Chonglou blinked, "But is it from the young master?"
Dou Jialan wanted to kill someone, but at this moment his mind was full of the previous scene.
Extremely cruel, but without any blood...
What did Jiang Qingzhi say?
"abnormal!"
Fu Cheng came out, and when Dou Jialan saw him, he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Hehe!" Fu Cheng laughed, "I am a philanthropist, what are you afraid of?"
Sun Chonglou asked: "Master, where did the thief come from?"
Fu Cheng rubbed his wrist, "Cui Yuan's."
"Then let's get him!" Sun Chonglou was angry.
"This is a secret fight. Boy, the essence of a secret fight is to make the other party suffer a loss without being able to speak out. If you retaliate in a high-profile manner, you will lose face. Do you understand?"
Fu Cheng yawned, "No one will come tonight, go back to sleep."
Sun Chonglou went into the utility room.
Under the moonlight, the two thieves lay on the ground with dull eyes.
There was no blood to be seen, nor could there be any smell of blood, but Sun Chonglou felt inexplicably terrified. After shivering, he muttered, "Go to sleep."
The next day, after Jiang Qingzhi got up, Fucheng came to report.
"Last night, two servants from the Prince Consort's Mansion took the wrong road and walked into our study. When I saw them, I invited them to stay. Now the guests are in the front yard."
"Cui Yuan?" Jiang Qingzhi held a long knife.
"Yes."
"Got it." Jiang Qingzhi sneered, "What does that old dog want to do?"
"It is said that Prince Consort Cui admired Lord Bo's military tactics so much that he wanted to borrow it to learn from him."
Looking at the respectful Fu Cheng, Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "Why bother? I will deliver the goods to your door."
Fu Cheng smiled, "My Lord, you are wise. Reciprocity is the long-term solution."
Come and go without indecent!
A secret fight?
Back then, Chiang Kai-shek had fought many secret battles with government forces in South America.
Fu Cheng asked, "Master, how should we deal with those two thieves?"
Jiang Qingzhi said casually: "Grow lotus flowers."
Fu Cheng asked, "Growing lotus flowers?"
My time and space are reversed... Jiang Qingzhi has taken too many supplements recently, and has trouble sleeping. He feels a little dizzy. He coughs dryly and says, "Break his legs and throw him in front of the gate of the Prince Consort's mansion. Is it possible?"
Since he couldn't do it, Jiang Qingzhi asked Chen Bao to do it, which just happened to send a signal to the old Chen family who showed goodwill to him: Chen Bao is a good kid.
Fu Cheng said respectfully and reservedly: "I obey your orders."
When Cui Yuan learned that the person he sent had failed, he became furious.
Just as he was about to have breakfast, the doorman came hurriedly to report that two men had been lost outside the gate.
"My hands and feet were broken."
The steward went to check and came back and whispered, "It's those two."
Cui Yuan was so angry that he left the house without eating breakfast.
Jiang Qingzhi was on his way to Huben Zuowei and met Cui Yuan who was buying breakfast on the roadside.
The two sides looked at each other and collided...
What do you want?
Cui Yuan's eyes were sharp.
Jiang Qingzhi said: "Old dog, if you walk too much on the road at night, be careful of encountering ghosts!"
Cui Yuan said: "You are so arrogant, be careful or you will end up in trouble!"
"Really? Then let's wait and see." Jiang Qingzhi suddenly smiled gently.
Cui Yuan turned around with a sneer and said to the people around him, "Be careful at home recently."
"Yes."
Jia Qian hurried all the way until he caught up with Jiang Qingzhi in front of the military camp.
"I'm late."
"It's okay to come back in the afternoon." Jiang Qingzhi gave him a slap, then asked, "What are your considerations?"
"Although our beef business is good, it can't be compared with those who started in the business a few years ago."
Jia Qian glanced at Jiang Qingzhi and thought, do you understand all this?
"Those who started early have the most customers. We are latecomers, so it is difficult to snatch customers."
"You...you actually know all this?" Jia Qian was really shocked.
"Lowering prices is a way to promote sales, but you are wrong," said Jiang Qingzhi.
"Villain...this is the best business tactic!" Jia Qian was not convinced.
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "Who is our guest? Is it a petty market woman? Or a wealthy man with plenty of money? Think about it yourself."
He preferred to inspire the imagination of his subordinates rather than do everything himself.
Jia Qian lowered his head and thought, how could anyone who could afford and dare to eat beef be short of money?
If the price is reduced, will those wealthy customers care?
So that's how it is... Jia Qian was delighted, "My Lord, I understand."
Jiang Qingzhi had already dismounted and walked to the gate of the military camp.
A group of generals lined up on both sides.
They all bowed together.
"Hello, uncle!"
Jia Qian saw the boss nod slightly, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Then, he was surrounded by generals and entered the military camp.
Jia Qian turned around and said to his clerk, "Master is on a meteoric rise, and we can follow him to become successful. Perhaps in the future we can follow Master and become a wealthy merchant, which would bring honor to our family."
The clerk was so angry at what he said, "They all say that being with the right person is more important than doing the right thing. Shopkeeper, I may be able to... bring honor to my family in the future, but..."
"Do it well. The rules of the master are strict, but generous. If you do it well, you will be able to take charge of the situation in the future."
The man wanted to yell a few times, but finally managed to say: "If that's the case, I'm willing to work like a cow or a horse for you, sir."
"If the uncle wants cattle and horses, he will buy them himself."
"What does the uncle want?"
"loyalty!"
