[0178 Yang's and Wu's are present](1/2)
On the way back from the Wu Mansion, Wei Bao looked at Luo Yangxing from time to time as if he was looking at the god of heaven.
Luo Yangxing had already handed over the arrested Master Wu Wu Sanfeng to his subordinate Jinyiwei's foot locking hands, stuffed a cloth piece on his mouth, and placed it in Wei Bao's carriage. He was riding on the horse, with a leisurely expression.
"Brother Wei, what are you doing?" Luo Yangxing noticed that Wei Bao had been looking at him, and suddenly his eyes tilted and he looked at Wei Bao.
Wei Bao smiled in the carriage and said to Luo Yangxing, who was riding a horse outside, "Brother, is he hiding so much?"
"It's okay." Luo Yangxing's fat face had a habitual smile, "Brother, you don't have to mention what you saw just now. Did I hide it? I have never told Brother Wei that I can't do anything, right? Do you think I am a Jinyiwei Qianhu and get it through relationships?"
"I have no such intention. My elder brother's Jinyiwei Qianhu is naturally not obtained through relationships." Wei Bao looked like I knew, "Oh, I understand, the master will not show his appearance! I will never tell others that he is good at martial arts, and he is a master, so don't be afraid."
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. There are many good players in the Jinyiwei, and I haven't seen it as a top 100. Naturally, there is no need for others to know about it. Besides, this is not a bad thing. Some people are still afraid that others don't know that they have good skills." Luo Yangxing smiled.
"I understand, brother is low-key! Those who can truly become masters should be as low-key as brothers, so that they can keep improving." Wei Bao envied. Now his attitude towards Luo Yangxing has completely changed. He thinks that Luo Yangxing is not only a very smooth person, but also a good understanding of the worldly style, and is very suitable for intrigues in the officialdom, but also a "expert"!
Wei Bao guessed that Luo Yangxing said that his kung fu could not even enter the top ten in the Jinyiwei, so he must be too modest. He is probably at least the top twenty or even the top ten! From the group of general flags brought by Luo Yangxing, it can be seen that so many officials do not seem to be a trainer. In the entire Jinyiwei, there are all those with official positions and those without official positions, and there are only tens of thousands of people. According to this ratio, how many masters can there be?
Luo Yangxing shrugged his shoulders and thought to myself, I'm low-key? What can I have to be low-key? At that time, I wanted to become a sworn brother with you, but you still refused. Even a plain-headed ordinary person is pretending to be a stubborn person. Do I still have to be low-key?
Luo Yangxing doesn't like to show off his skills, mainly because he doesn't want to be jealous of others, and when encountering things, he will not be the first to be suspected. If a martial arts person dies, he is the only one of the four people who don't show his martial arts skills, then he will be eliminated first. Luo Yangxing has the protection of his father, and does not need to compete for any credit, but only needs to be avoided from being jealous of others. This is his way of survival, but these words are not necessary to explain them in detail to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao looked at Wu Sanfeng who was locked in the carriage with him and smiled and said, "Young Master Wu, we should have heard of each other's name for a while, right? Unfortunately, we have only met today."
Wu Sanfeng glared at Wei Bao angrily, unable to figure out how he was. His dignified young master of the Wu family would end up in his current situation!? I really don’t know who sent Wei Bao. He doesn’t know at this moment, and he can’t regard Wei Bao as a person without a backer. It’s just Wei Bao’s backer. Whether it’s Beijing, Beizhili, or Yongping Mansion, it’s a big riddle. No one can understand who Wei Bao’s backer is? Anyway, no one will think that the low-key concubine Li Zhuang’s concubine has such great energy, and Li Zhuang’s younger brother Li Chenglian is even more unlikely. Wei Bao’s backer will definitely not be Li Chenglian.
Wei Bao saw Wu Sanfeng staring at his eyes erratic and laughed and said, "What are you thinking? As long as you don't make a fuss, I will take off the cloth strip from your mouth. In fact, it is not like blocking your mouth. You are a person with a status. If you leak this matter, it will not be of any benefit to you. If someone else should understand this, I am afraid that you will not understand it, so I block your mouth."
When Wu Sanfeng heard Wei Bao say this, she almost got angry and her eyes were covered with blood.
Wei Bao ignored whether Wu Sanfeng was angry and smiled and pulled out the strip of cloth from Wu Sanfeng's mouth.
Wu Sanfeng took a deep breath first. As Wei Bao expected, he did not scold Wei Bao, but was still staring at his eyes, his eyes flashing.
If Wei Bao didn't say that just now, then Wu Sanfeng's first thing to do now is to greet Wei Bao's ancestors for the eighteen generations.
Wei Bao himself didn't know that he was actually very suitable to do something, to understand people's hearts and psychological hints. Most of the time, Wei Bao used hints to tell the other party how to do it. When encountering a powerful person in this area, Wei Bao would respect and pay attention to it.
"What do you want to do to me? Tell you, dare to touch me and let you all die without a complete body!" Wu Sanfeng gasped and said viciously.
Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Don't be angry, who is going to do you? From beginning to end, you are unreasonable. If you bought the batch of fur from me at the price you usually buy, what would I want your goods? But how did you do it? You don't plan to pay a penny and want to rob. Is there anyone in the world who does this kind of business?"
Wu Sanfeng knew that he was in the wrong, but he was not convinced because he wanted to swallow the goods that Wei Bao had obtained for free. It was based on the power of the Wu family, which was a thousand miles apart from Wei Bao's power. If it were anyone, it would be impossible to buy goods from Jiannu and how much it would be like doing business with Jiannu.
"You killed those businessmen outside the pass?" Wu Sanfeng suddenly remembered to ask about this, and at the same time showed a hint of fear. He knew that since those people could travel outside the pass to do business, they were all good at riding and martial arts, they were amazing. I wonder how many capable subordinates Wei Bao had.
Wei Bao did not answer Wu Sanfeng's question, so he lay back and placed his hands on the back of his head to keep himself in a comfortable position: "Mr. Wu, take a break, I will treat you well and have a good meal later. It's meaningless to talk to you now. Wait and see what your father's attitude is?"
Seeing that Wei Bao refused to say anything, Wu Sanfeng felt more and more afraid and trembled in a cold war.
When he arrived at Shanhailou, Luo Yangxing asked to park the carriage in the back building and set up a room in advance to see Wu Sanfeng. When he escorted Wu Sanfeng, he asked someone to cover it with a robe, and did not lose the face of Master Wu.
The news of this incident will soon be heard, but as long as the slaves present at the Wu family, Wei Bao's escorts, and a group of Jinyiwei do not say anything, others can only watch the flowers in the fog and cannot fully understand how the matter started and how big it was.
Because whether Master Wu was kidnapped or did Master Wu take the initiative to follow the Jinyiwei, this matter was not clearly transmitted by his mouth.
Luo Yangxing left several Jinyiwei to guard Wu Sanfeng and smiled at Wei Bao: "I can drink with confidence now. Brother, the Wu family will probably solve this problem with money. When I get the money, we will add five points to two or one, and then let Wu Sanfeng go, and the matter will be settled. How about it?"
Wei Bao had long guessed that Luo Yangxing was making such a good plan, and smiled slightly: "But it depends on the arrangements of the elder brother, but I must also consider whether I will be plotted by the Wu family after you leave, right? Otherwise, if the elder brother leaves, will I become the fish on the Wu family's chopping board?"
Luo Yangxing frowned, "Brother, I almost forgot about this, this is really not easy to deal with. I would say hello to them at that time, and I would not dare to give me any face at all, otherwise I would bring out Lord Tian Ergeng too? They would say that brothers and Lord Tian Ergeng are friends of age, so they would not dare to give face even more."
Wei Bao shook his head and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you say that Eunuch Wei and I are friends for ages. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Will they come out to kill me? Just create a small case, brother, I will ask my brother to help me burn paper in front of my grave next year."
puff.
Luo Yangxing was amused by Wei Bao, and was secretly amused. He patted Wei Bao on the shoulder: "It's okay, haven't the Wu family come here yet? Let's drink first. I'll think about this matter and keep it for the brothers to solve it successfully!"
Wei Bao Yishan, you were the helper I invited, but now you have become a pig's feet and I have become your supporting role? What do you want you to solve? But Luo Yangxing's identity is here. Now that Luo Yangxing has participated in the holiday with the Wu family, it is indeed not very convenient for him to instruct Luo Yangxing to do things. It is natural for Luo Yangxing to instruct him to come.
This incident gave Wei Bao a lot of deep thought. People are like chess, things are like games, people's hearts are like watching the fire. He is still a thousand miles away. He always wants others to do whatever they do for him, but he doesn't take the other person's thoughts and identity into consideration. Every time he layouts it is like a child playing house, he can make himself uncomfortable in the end and get half the result with twice the effort.
"Brother, I won't talk about this in advance. It's famous to drink at night. I want to ask my brother to host the opening ceremony of Shanhaiguan Branch of Tiandi Shangjia!" Wei Bao said.
Luo Yangxing looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh, brother, you are so cunning. When you were in Yongping Mansion and Funingwei, you repeatedly invited us to come to Shanhaiguan for a drink. It turned out that they wanted so many officials to support your opening ceremony?"
Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Drinking is naturally a drink. Isn't it a matter of supporting the audience? Isn't it necessary to force the officials to give me a big red envelope."
"Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you that you offended the Wu family once just now. The Wu family is very feasting on the ground, right? When you open your business, don't make it the only one of us Jinyiwei eat and drink here, and you will be in a mess." Luo Yangxing said.
This is exactly what Wei Bao was worried about, and smiled bitterly: "No matter how many people he came, they will open anyway. I have sent people to post everywhere. Everyone who should notify them has already been notified. Everything depends on God's will."
Luo Yangxing smiled and said, "Okay, brother, I have always been optimistic about you. I have the spirit of doing things. Whether it succeeds or not, those who can rush forward with a hard neck will always gain more."
Wei Bao heard Luo Yangxing’s words and felt that he had a good feeling. No matter whether the other party was sincere or false, he finally had the same gain this trip, which was Luo Yangxing, the future commander of the Jinyiwei.
When Wei Bao and Luo Yangxing joined hands to come from the inn behind Shanhailou, Li Chenglian saw that Wei Bao and Luo Yangxing seemed to have a step forward, and was very happy for Wei Bao and himself. He knew that Luo Yangxing was able to be comprehensive in every way, but there were not many people who were really close to him. He really looked down on his brother as much as he was now.
"Xiaobao, why did this Shanhailou suddenly have a light and decorate? It seems that it is going to be a happy event?" Li Chenglian asked, "All the officials who came from Yongping Mansion just now received a post from your subordinates. What's going on?"
Only then did Wei Bao concisely talk about the opening ceremony of the Shanhaiguan Branch of Tiandi Shangjia tonight.
"First go to my new store to watch the lion dance. After playing firecrackers, you will come to Shanhailou for dinner." Wei Bao told Li Chenglian the itinerary.
Li Chenglian nodded and said to Wei Bao softly: "Xiaobao, I heard them all say they are leaving."
Wei Bao hurried to see it. Sure enough, a group of officials who were "scamd" by him were indeed whispering to each other, and there were signs of leaving.
To capture the thief, we first captured the king. Wei Bao thought to himself that what happened at the door of the Wu family just now should have not been spread so quickly. Even if it had been spread, it was just heard and it was still hot "news". It was impossible for these people to know too specific. Let everyone "scam" to the front of the Shanhaiguan Branch of Tiandi Shangjia to see the opening ceremony.
"Master Zu, let's go and take you to a good place." Wei Bao smiled and said to Zu Guangyao's side. He smiled at other officials from Yongping Prefecture, several thousand households of the garrison, and a group of hundred households of the garrison: "Everyone is going, prepare good things for everyone."
Everyone had just received Wei Bao's "invitation", so they naturally knew what they wanted to do. They wanted them to support the opening of the Shanhaiguan Branch of Tiandi Shangjia. They were not worried about giving red envelopes. They knew that Wei Bao would never let them suffer losses. Not only did they not have to pay for the red envelopes, they might also get two more silver back.
These people are mainly worried about the relationship between Wei Bao and the Wu family. If they went to the opening ceremony of Wei Bao's store and were in a place like Shanhaiguan, what would the Wu family think?
But after eating and drinking in Wei Bao for several days, he was unwilling to say anything and was a little embarrassed. As the "leader" of everyone present, Zu Guangyao was particularly embarrassed. He couldn't say anything. He stood there but had no intention of following Wei Bao.
Luo Yangxing had already expected this situation just now, and secretly thought that Wei Bao was shooting himself in the foot, but it was not his business. He was just watching the fun and did not help Wei Bao persuade people to attend.
Uncle Sun Jiu and Fang Jie'er also understood the current situation. Uncle Sun Jiu was also watching the excitement. Sister Fang was a little anxious and stared at Wei Bao, wanting to see how Wei Bao solved it.
"The world is bustling, all for profit. I don't benefit others, who is willing to help me? I, Wei Bao, is not a person who doesn't know how to do things. The adults who are willing to help me today will have to pay double their rewards in the future." Wei Bao said calmly: "Sir, most of them are locals in western Liaoning. I, Wei Bao, are also locals in western Liaoning. Since we are fellow villagers, we have been having a happy time these few days, so we can be considered a meeting, right? We only go to see a lion dance and have a meal when we come back. Is there any place to be embarrassed?"
Wei Bao has already brought out all the advantages he can say, which not only shows that there will be benefits to support today, but it will definitely not be for nothing. It also shows that he is also from western Liaoning and a fellow villager in the village. He is not an outsider. If he can't open the situation in Shanhaiguan, let alone open the situation in the entire Yongping Prefecture. In Yongping Prefecture, he cannot make the Tiandi Business name firmly gain a foothold, and the transactions in the capital are at most empty.
Win one step, go to the sky step by step, lose one step, hell step by step.
Wei Bao has done everything he can do anyway.
Fang Jie'er, Luo Yangxing, Li Chenglian and others who were close to Wei Bao in their hearts nodded secretly after hearing this, thinking that Wei Bao was saying it well.
But the officials headed by Zu Guangyao, no matter how good Wei Bao said, they were still frowning and unable to make up their minds.
"Young Master Yang is here!"
At this time, a call came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Hongyi, who was dressed in luxurious service, stepped in with an official step and said with a smile: "What are you doing in the hall? Haven't you started having a banquet yet? Am I too early?"
When Wei Bao saw Yang Hongyi coming, he couldn't help but be happy: "Young Master Yang is here at the right time. When everyone is together, first go to the door of the new store of the Shanhaiguan Branch of Tiandi Shangjia to watch the lion dance, and then have a banquet at Shanhailou. If you can get the commander's grandfather, this is really the glory of me, Wei Bao. Dear master, the commander, is busy with all kinds of things, and still does not forget the small businessmen like us. I suggest that you use tea instead of wine first and toast Master Yang with a cup."
Luo Yangxing, Fang Jie'er, Sun Jiu Uncle, Li Chenglian, and Wei Bao's men all admired the young master's move. With the action of celebrating tea, this was equivalent to completely tying Yang Hongyi and him. It was equivalent to saying that if you leave at this time, it would not mean that Wei Bao would not be alone in giving him the face of Wei Bao, but it would also make the Yang family very unhappy.
Zu Guangyao and a group of officials who were "scammered" by Wei Bao were all thinking about how to reject Wei Bao. But they couldn't say it well, so they could only force themselves to leave, and they didn't care about anything. After all, the cloud above their heads was the Wu family's ancestors and the entire clan system formed over the past century, not Wei Bao.
But now that Yang Hongyi has arrived in person, the situation is different. Although the commander commander of Shanhai Guard is not known how much worse than the Jinyi Guard, at Shanhaiguan, the commander commander commander is really better than the signature of the Jinyi Guard! The arrival of the eldest son of Yang is equivalent to the Yang family's public support for Wei Bao. When they left at this time, they were equivalent to standing on the Wu family's side and not giving the Yang family face at all.
So everyone couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing what to do.
When Yang Hongyi saw everyone's expressions, he immediately understood the current situation. He was unhappy at the time and thought to himself that although the Yang family is an alien officialdom, he has been in Shanhaiguan for more than two years. How are you? Do you not give face if you drink a cup of tea? Even if my Yang family is not as powerful as the Wu family in this area, it will not even have 20% or 30% of the Wu family's influence, right?
"It seems that everyone is not thirsty." Yang Hongyi's heart was filled with anger, but there was still a pale smile on his face, just like usual. But Yang Hongyi's words made people feel a little gloomy.
Wei Bao secretly admired Yang Hongyi's cunning. How could Wu Grand Prince Wu Sanfeng catch up with him? Yang Hongyi only has the demeanor and temperament of a second-generation official. He can maintain his demeanor and not show his emotions at any time. This is much more powerful than catching his teeth and staring at him and getting angry.
"Everyone drinks tea, and everyone drinks tea. We should respect the commander's tea. The commander loves the people as his son and manages the place with good control. My Zu Guangyao admires it very much." After being stunned, Zu Guangyao took the lead in reacting. Even if he wanted to offend the Yang family, he should not be so inferior in the open. Instead, it makes people feel that western Liaoning is a villager and cannot be promoted, so he advises everyone.
After hearing what Zu Guangyao said, everyone hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and agreed, saying that they respected the commander and the eldest son Yang.
Yang Hongyi smiled and drank a cup of tea. He knew that everyone had not given his family much face, so he looked at Wei Bao.
Wei Baoxin said, "What do you think of me?" This can only prove that your Yang family is not good!" The 2,000 two I just gave to your father in the afternoon were just thrown into the water."
"Mr. Wei, I remember it in my heart when I went to the Shanhaiguan Branch of the Tiandi Shangqian Shangqian to watch the lion dance, and I also came to drink the opening wine later, but I still have an urgent matter here, so I will go." Zu Guangyao said with a clue of inspiration.
Wei Bao said: "What's the urgent matter? After drinking, I asked Lord Bai Zu to do it."
"No, I must go in person. Since Mr. Wei is a local native of western Liaoning, I believe Mr. Wei knows the rules here. We are all working below, and it is rare to come to Shanhaiguan. We have to visit the elders of the clan first. It takes only a few hours, at most half an hour to come. It is also because I am old and I remember it until this time." Zu Guangyao smiled.
Zu Chuncai also said to the side: "Young Master Wei, my master does have some urgent matters to do."
After hearing what Zu Guangyao said, everyone understood that Zu Guangyao was going to the Wu family first. If the Wu family agreed to his and Wei Bao’s opening wine, he would definitely not be able to come back in half an hour. If the Wu family disagreed, then he would not come. Even if Wei Bao wanted to drag people down, he would definitely not be able to enter the Wu family.
The officials suddenly felt relieved, secretly praising Zu Guangyao and Jiang were old. They all agreed with Zu Guangyao, and they all said that they had forgotten the big thing, so they should visit the elders first and then come to see the lion dance and drink.
Wei Bao pretended to be calm and said, "It is naturally the first priority to visit the elders. I will not dare to make things difficult for you. Please come. It is nothing for me to wait half an hour. At that time, if everyone can't catch up, we can only go and watch the lion dance first. My business is a trivial matter, so everyone doesn't have to take it to heart."
All the officials supported Wei Bao's words and quickly thanked him, all of whom praised Wei Bao for being generous and wise.
Most of the praises from everyone are out of sincerity. Not to mention Wei Bao's 14-year-old young man, who is over 30 or 40 years old, and has a very deep-minded man. At such a moment, in such a short time, it is not easy to control his emotions and say such things that everyone has a way out.
There is not a fool present, and everyone's heart is like a mirror.
This is an invisible game, and now, the game has reached its last critical moment.
To be continued...
