Chapter 976 A peace talisman from the Hu Ben Army

(0976)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

Recently, Fan Wanjie has been a little uneasy. He always feels that there seems to be some kind of shadow that has been covering his head. Fan Wanjie still believes very much in his subconscious. However, Fan Wanjie carefully observed and analyzed and could not find the source of the shadow, which made him feel even more uneasy.

The Fan family in Datong Prefecture has always been the leader among Shanxi merchants. Before other big merchants started, the Fan family had already relied on tea and salt to secretly conduct private transactions with the Mongolians and gradually made a fortune.

Datong Prefecture is close to the border, and every year, a large number of Mongolian merchants quietly arrive at the border and buy various scarce supplies from the Han people. This is an open secret. As for whether you can use this secret to make money, it depends on your personal ability.

Facts have proved that the Fan family is indeed capable. The officials in Shanxi, even officials from the six ministries, have more or less related to the Fan family. Especially the officials in Shanxi Province, have a very close relationship with the Fan family.

However, the trade with the Mongols made the Fan family feel unsatisfied. Through the introduction of the Mongols, the Fan family and the Great Jin Kingdom got involved. The cooperation with the Great Jin Kingdom made the Fan family make countless profits. Every time the Tartars robbed back from various places, a considerable amount of gold and silver wealth flowed back to the Fan family.

When the Great Jin Kingdom was the strongest, the Fan family made profits from the Great Jin Kingdom every year, absolutely no less than one million taels of silver. This is indeed amazing for a large merchant. Even the salt merchants in Yangzhou, Jiangnan may not earn so much silver every year. However, because the source of silver is quite special, the Fan family dare not make it.

Unfortunately, all of this was quickly broken due to the rise of the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army defeated the Great Jin Kingdom in such a short time, which completely cut off part of the Fan family's business profit source. Under the pressure of the Hu Ben Army, the Mongols did not dare to do business with the Fan family. In this way, the Fan family's business was almost in a stagnant state.

Fan Wanjie dared not approach Zhang Zhun. He knew very well that his affairs with the Great Jin Kingdom would definitely be a dead end in Zhang Zhun's hands. With his shrewdness, he naturally estimated that Zhang Zhun should have information on his trade with the Great Jin Kingdom. His trade with the Great Jin Kingdom were recorded. These records were evidence of traitors when they came to Zhang Zhun's hands. With Zhang Zhun's personality, he would definitely not let him go.

Besides, the Fan family was in Shanxi and the amount of land controlled was indeed a little too much. Because the silver earned from the Great Jin Kingdom could not be used through normal channels, the Fan family bought a large amount of land in various parts of Shanxi. Just in recent years, there were chaos in all parts of Shanxi, a large number of people fled, and a large amount of land was lost. The Fan family bought a large amount of land at a very low price.

Before, Fan Wanjie randomly counted it and found that the land under the name of the Fan family exceeded one million acres. This number is indeed too amazing. Apart from the royal relatives, there are probably no landlord or big merchants, who have so many fields. The land of King Fu is only a few million acres. If you shoot the first bird, Zhang Zhun will be surprised if you don’t crush him.

It is very dangerous to continue to stay in Datong Prefecture or even Shanxi. Therefore, without thinking, when Emperor Chongzhen retreated south, Fan Wanjie quickly chose to retreat south. What made him feel relieved was that the eunuch of the Xuanfu Army Supervisor Wang Kun. His relationship with Wang Kun has always been good.

After giving Wang Kun a full 200,000 taels of silver as a tea and water bill, and making a promise in black and white that after arriving in Chengdu, he would give half of his property to Wang Kun. Wang Kun reluctantly agreed to protect his safety and send him and his family to Chengdu.

Emperor Chongzhen's retreat was relatively fast. It took only five days to go south from Datong Prefecture to reach Yanmen Pass. It was estimated that it would take five or six days to reach Taiyuan Prefecture to attack. Fan Wanjie felt that as long as he passed Taiyuan Prefecture, it would be safe. At that time, even if the Hu Ben Army wanted to chase after it, there would be a large army of the Ming army blocking it. If he arrived in Shaanxi smoothly, the Hu Ben Army would not be able to catch up.

Seeing that Taiyuan Prefecture was about to arrive and was about to leave the Hu Ben Army's pursuit range, Fan Wanjie slowly let go of his heart. He began to think about how to use local connections and resources to revitalize the Fan family again after arriving at Chengdu Prefecture...

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves interrupted Fan Wanjie's thoughts. Fan Wanjie hurried out and found that Wang Kun had arrived in person. There were at least 300 armed servants next to Wang Kun. International practice is that these servants are Wang Kun's personal thugs.

"Fan Wanjie, come here."

Wang Kun said with a smile, as if he was the legendary old fox.

The eunuchs around Emperor Chongzhen all had their own characteristics. Gao Qiqian knew how to pretend to cry best. Every time he cried, he was earth-shaking, heartbroken and tear-jerking. Basically, as long as Gao Qiqian cried, Emperor Chongzhen became soft-hearted. Cao Huachun was a wooden man, and he sat silently in the dark house every day. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he seemed to be a monk in a temple, not like the admiral of the Beijing camp.

Zhang Yixian is a good person to make money. Every day he is thinking about where to get some money and enrich his warehouse. As long as it is related to money, he wants to get a kick. Wang Chengen is a good man, timid and taciturn, and he is a little bit silent. Wang Kun is a smile on his face, with a knife hidden in his smile and a smile on his mouth. It is not a good thing. When you are confused by his bright smile, his vicious hands will come. Over the years, the people who have been cheated by Wang Kun have gone there.

"What are the instructions for my father-in-law?"

Fan Wanjie quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice.

When Fan Wanjie saw Wang Kun's smile, he felt that things were going to be bad. Every time Wang Kun smiled so brightly, someone must be unlucky. Could it be that today, he was the one who was unlucky? But where did he offend Wang Kun?

"Get all your family together and follow me."

"By the way, bring all your property with you."

Wang Kun said with a slight smile, not knowing what to do.

Who is Fan Wanjie? He is the head of the Fan family. The Fan family's achievements today are closely related to him. He is also a person who travels around the world. He has a wide range of knowledge and has a first-class ability to observe words and expressions. He naturally can see at a glance that something is wrong with Wang Kun's actions.

With Wang Kun's personality, the brighter he smiles, the more sinister he feels inside. Seeing Wang Kun's smile, Fan Wanjie felt a chill in his backbone. What exactly should Wang Kun do? Should he kill himself or swallow his property?

With Wang Kun's identity, it is impossible to be so polite to him, but since Wang Kun showed this, Fan Wanjie felt that he could not see the sun tomorrow. If things were abnormal, they would be a demon. If Wang Kun was so abnormal, how could the Fan family survive? He dared to conclude that Wang Kun was going to swallow all the property of the Fan family.

At this moment, what Fan Wanjie thought of was to kill the death and die together. His last property would never be handed over to Wang Kun easily. Without the property, he would rather die. He believed that Wang Kun would definitely kill someone to silence him and would never give him a chance to survive. No one in the Fan family could survive.

However, Wang Kun was extremely powerful and was deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. The troops around him were basically from the Jin army from Xuanfu. What could the dozens of guards in the Fan family do? Even the three hundred servants around Wang Kun could not defeat them! This was really a fish on the chopping board and was left to be dealt with.

There was no choice but to bite the bullet and said slowly: "Please wait for a while, father-in-law."

Wang Kun still said with a sarcastic smile: "Take all your people and things with you."

Fan Wanjie felt that his heart was constantly sinking. At this point, Wang Kun's murderous intent was already very obvious. However, after thinking about it, Fan Wanjie had no good way to get out of trouble, so he had to follow Wang Kun on the road with his terrified family and his last property.

After leaving Datong Mansion, Fan Wanjie only had thirty or forty family members, and dozens of other people were all bodyguards and the like. The most expensive thing they were the big box of thirteen people. As for what was contained in it, only Fan Wanjie himself knew.

Following Wang Kun, Fan Wanjie and the others along the way. After walking for a while, Fan Wanjie found that he was actually walking eastward. His heart suddenly stumbled. Toward east, that was the territory of the Hu Ben Army! Wang Kun took him toward the territory of the Hu Ben Army. What does that mean?

Fan Wanjie felt more and more wrong. Either Wang Kun was about to eat him, leave all his property, and then frame the Hu Ben Army. Or Wang Kun had some conspiracy and wanted to blame him. Subconsciously, Fan Wanjie was most unwilling to have a relationship with the Hu Ben Army, and even more unwilling to fall into the hands of the Hu Ben Army.

After this, Fan Wanjie also took the initiative and raised his head in anger and asked, "Wang Kun, what are you going to do? Where are you going to take us here?"

Wang Kun said with a slight smile: "What am I doing? Do you need to explain it to you?"

He waved his hand, and the servants around Wang Kun immediately pressed up and controlled Fan Wanjie and the people around him. Everyone in the Fan family had a sharp sharp knife on the back. As long as the sharp knife was sent forward, they would all die.

Fan Wanjie was both angry and helpless and said: "Wang Kun, I have never lost your filial piety. After I arrived in Chengdu, I will give you half of my property. Why do you want to do this? If you let me go, I am willing to give you all my property."

Wang Kun looked at him coldly without saying a word.

That’s right, your filial piety is indeed a lot. The property of your Fan family is indeed a lot. But I, Wang Kun, have to have a life to eat it. The property I have accumulated now is actually a lot. What I need now is a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but a peace talisman. A peace talisman from the Hu Ben Army. By the way, this peace talisman is really hard to work on!

His feelings came from Gao Qiqian's fate. Emperor Chongzhen evacuated the capital and was in a panic and actually missed the handling of Gao Qiqian. When Emperor Chongzhen evacuated, Gao Qiqian was still in Zhao Prison and knew nothing about the outside world. Of course, now, Gao Qiqian has been rescued by the Hu Ben Army.

Zhang Zhun did not kill Gao Qiqian, and ordered him to be released, and no one else allowed to investigate Gao Qiqian's old accounts. In other words, Gao Qiqian's old accounts were completely wiped out. From now on, Gao Qiqian is an ordinary person with no merits and no faults. According to the Hu Ben Army's equal field order, he can still get five acres of land. As long as it is not very unlucky, Gao Qiqian will not starve to death. Moreover, he still has some hidden property.

It can be said that Gao Qiqian's previous interactions with the Hu Ben Army gave him a peace talisman. It was with this peace talisman that Gao Qiqian had the chance to survive. Otherwise, with his previous status, he would have been chopped up by the Hu Ben Army. When did Zhang Zhun hesitate to kill someone?

What Wang Kun needs now is such a peace talisman. Who can tell the future of things? Even if the imperial court arrives in Chengdu, how many years will it last? If there is no such peace talisman from the Hu Ben Army, I am afraid it will be impossible to escape and die! On the contrary, if there is a peace talisman from the Hu Ben Army, it would be completely different.

"Da da da da!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, as if a cavalry was coming.

Wang Kun clapped his hands, and immediately a servant came forward to welcome the arrival of the cavalry. A moment later, under the guidance of Wang Kun's servant, a team of agile cavalry appeared in front of Fan Wanjie.

"ah!"

Fan Wanjie's pupils immediately contracted.

Tiger Army!

Damn it, it was actually the Hu Ben Army!

These agile cavalry that suddenly came out were the troops of the Hu Ben Army!

The answer to the mystery was solved naturally - Wang Kun actually wanted to give him to the Hu Ben Army!

"you!"

"Wang Kun!"

Fan Wanjie scolded at the top of his lungs.

"Pooh!"

"You traitor!"

Wang Kun cursed angrily.

"you!"

Fan Wanjie was stunned.

Damn Wang Kun actually called him a traitor!

In the world, anyone can call him Fan Wanjie a traitor, but Wang Kun cannot! Who doesn’t know who he and Wang Kun are doing? Every time the Tartars enter the frontier, Wang Kun cooperates so smoothly, just like he is a subordinate of Huang Taiji. Such a person actually accuses him of being a traitor! It’s really... unreasonable!

"Fan Wanjie, I misread you!"

"You are so heartless! You actually work hard for the Tartars!"

"If I had known that you had actually engaged in trade with the Tartars, I would kill you with one knife!"

Wang Kun shouted righteously.

In this world, no one can change his face more easily than eunuchs. At this moment, Wang Kun was so righteous. Every sentence and every word were like a sharp knife, stabbing Fan Wanjie's heart.
