Chapter 154
"master"

On the day of closing accounts at the end of the year, when Aunt Yu came back from the shop, she didn't even bother to take a sip of water, so she angrily sent someone to find Mr. Guo.

Since getting the forgiveness from the Huang family, Mr. Guo relieved his burden and felt relaxed and comfortable. After having a few drinks with the masters in the afternoon, he went to the new Aunt Qiao to enjoy the tenderness.

On Zhengxing's head, he was interrupted by the woman sent by Aunt Yu, and Master Guo was very angry.

"What are you shouting, today is the day to stay in Auntie's house!" He let go of Auntie Qiao's sweet and soft body, and shouted out of the door in displeasure.

"No sir"

Disturbing the master's elegant mood, the mother-in-law didn't dare to look around, she lowered her head and answered boldly:
"It's about the Detiange Coal Shop. Aunt Yu said that the matter is urgent, and it is related to the future livelihood of the Guo family. I must discuss it with you immediately, Master."

"Why do we have to discuss today?"

The mother-in-law could hear the master's impatience, but she still nodded without flinching, "It's a big deal."

After two sticks of incense, Master Guo went to Aunt Yu's house with a displeased face.

In the past, when Mr. Guo shook his face, Aunt Yu must coax him with nice words. There has been no exception for more than ten years, but Aunt Yu today doesn't care about these things.

"Master, I found out that De Tiange is behind the newly opened coal shop in the town. Does the master know about this?"

Master Guo frowned, and took a deep look at Aunt Yu.

"I still think it's a big deal. It's no secret that coal trucks come and go in Xiaoxi Village every day! Is it worth your fuss?"

Master actually knew, Aunt Yu was stunned.

"Then why didn't the master tell me earlier?"

"You've been busy these days, it's not that I haven't had time to tell you."

Master Guo looked indifferent, sat down and poured himself a cup of herbal tea to suppress the evil fire.

Having been married to Mr. Guo for more than ten years, Aunt Yu couldn't tell that Mr. Guo must have forgotten to tell her. She hated her in her heart, but it was not easy to explode, so she gritted her teeth and sat down.

"The coal in Detian Pavilion comes from the He family in Anzhou, master, do you know that?"

Master Guo took a sip of tea, his eyes widened, "Which He family in Anzhou?"

Could it be that there are still several He families in Anzhou?

Aunt Yu was sprayed with a sip of tea, and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief. After a while, she raised her head in embarrassment, and said in a resentful tone:
"Besides Liulang's ancestral family, are there other He families in Anzhou?"

"It's only Liulang's grandfather, the He family, that I'm asking you!"

Master Guo had an unbelievable expression on his face, and his tone rose an octave unconsciously:
"How could Liulang's ancestral family dismantle Liulang's platform? The coal shop is Liulang's mother's dowry, and it has always been in good condition. Fortunately, it was only provided for us in Raozhou, why did it suddenly provide for others?"

How did Mr. Guo know.

In recent years, the business of several shops in the family has been getting worse and worse. The surplus figures he saw were manipulated by Aunt Yu, and the silver taels that he usually took home were all embezzled from the payment that should have been paid to the He family.

It can be said that all the food and drink used by the Guo family these years have been from the He family.

Of course Master Guo couldn't know about these things, so Aunt Yu calmed down:
"I asked someone to inquire about it, and the store clerk swore that they bought the best anthracite coal from the He family, and there was a plaque in the shop that granted the exclusive distribution rights of official coal to the He family by the King Regent. Can't go wrong!"

"The exclusive distribution rights of official coal?"

Master Guo was furious, but he still keenly grasped the key point in Aunt Yu's words, "What kind of exclusive distribution rights for official coal? When did the Prince Regent issue such a thing?"

With Guo Laba's contacts, it's impossible not to hear about this kind of thing.

"How do I know this!" Aunt Yu said, "Master, write a letter to Liu Lang and ask! If the He family really has this thing, we must hold it tightly!"

It was issued by the Regent. With this good thing, the official coal supply in Raozhou is not all from the Guo family!I will not be afraid to walk sideways in Raozhou in the future!
The matter was so important that Mr. Guo didn't care to be angry anymore. After leaving Aunt Yu's house, he went to the study and wrote a letter to Guo Liulang.

Anzhou.

"Supervisor Wang"

He Er walked into a room of the forge iron kiln that was much brighter and more spacious than before, saluted the red-faced Steward Wang on the main seat, and took out a small and exquisite box from his sleeve:

"Supervisor Wang is promoted, a small congratulatory gift is not a respect."

Supervisor Wang smiled, and a servant stepped forward to take the gift box.

"Then I would like to thank the He family for their kindness."

As Supervisor Wang spoke, he signaled his servants to serve him tea, and after a long exchange of pleasantries, he cut to the chase.

"In addition to wrought iron, I am also responsible for making weapons. I read the records and learned that Mr. Tie needs a lot of materials recently, and they all went to your He family."

Supervisor Wang half-spoken and looked at He Er meaningfully.

He Er understood, and took the words, "To tell you the truth, Supervisor Wang, the He family is now making weapons for the regent king."

Although the matter of the He family building weapons was strictly kept secret under the arrangement of the Regent, it is impossible to hide this matter from everyone. Officials with some connections like Supervisor Wang will know that it will happen sooner or later.

In addition, the regent once sent an official document asking for oil cannons. Although it was taken back before it was officially posted, relevant news had already spread.

It is speculated that the Prince Regent has obtained the oil artillery, but he does not know where to get it.

Supervisor Wang was very satisfied with He Er's frankness, smiled and said:
"But the oil cannon?"

Well this.
He Er glanced at the servant next to Supervisor Wang, took a sip from his teacup without haste.

Supervisor Wang understood and signaled the servants to retreat. When the door was closed, he got up and walked to the seat next to He Er, leaned over and lowered his voice:
"I guess this has something to do with Brother Bai, I don't know if I'm right"

He Er put down his teacup.

"There must be a connection"

According to Bai Fu's explanation before leaving, He Er said:
"However, he said that he gave this credit to our He family. Now it belongs to our He family and has nothing to do with him. After all, he knows too many things. There’s no time to have fun and enjoy life.”

So rest assured, don't worry about someone taking the credit.

Moreover, Brother Bai is so powerful that he might be able to use it for you in the future.

Supervisor Wang understood the subtext, and laughed twice, "Brother Bai is a wonderful person."

He Er made a gesture of hissing:

"Supervisor Wang, this wonderful person, it's good that you know me, but don't let more people know about it and rob him."

"That's the reason!"

With this wonderful person, Supervisor Wang seemed to be able to see himself on the rise, so he couldn't help but smile more heartily, but he didn't forget
Today's topic, he took out a letter and handed it to He Er:

"Recently, I have encountered some small problems, and I want to discuss them with Brother Bai. Please pass them on to me."

He Er took the letter and put it in his arms without looking at it:
"Don't worry, Supervisor Wang, the He family has correspondence with Mr. Bai every month, and will definitely convey it to you safely."

The two talked about coking coal again.

Because Supervisor Wang's promotion to two levels has something to do with coking coal-
First, coking coal was used to make iron to reduce the brittleness of iron. Later, coking coal was used for frying iron, and coking coal was planned to be used in making weapons in the future. Therefore, the amount of coking coal required by Supervisor Wang's iron forging kiln increased several times in a short period of time.

Other well-informed wrought iron kilns heard the news, and they approached the He family one after another to discuss their purchasing intentions. In order to meet the sudden surge in demand, the He family has already started building a new coal-fired kiln.

"Don't worry, Supervisor Wang, the He family will give priority to ensuring your dosage, as Mr. Bai has specifically explained before leaving." He Er said.

Supervisor Wang stroked his beard in satisfaction.

"Brother Bai has a heart."

When Guo Liulang came back from the artillery workshop, he got a letter from Master Guo. He thought his father was going to urge him to go back to the blind date again, so he put the letter aside, turned around and went to the coking coal kiln again.

The newly built kiln this time should be made according to the drawings given by Bai Fu. Before leaving, Bai Fu explained a lot of precautions, and there were many things that needed to be checked before and after.

But before he could eat the hot meal, Master Tie called him over again.

Mr. Tie finally seized the opportunity to reach the sky in one step. In order to make achievements to show to the regent, he worked hard to manage the workshop, not to mention, but also paid close attention to all relevant news all the time.

"The first batch of oil artillery will be sent to the front line. The regent said that he will send someone to teach the soldiers to use it himself. I thought about it, and you have to go to this matter."

Seeing Guo Liulang, Mr. Tie didn't care about greetings, and handed him the letter from the regent.

Guo Liulang roughly scanned the content of the letter, and he had a bottom line in his mind.

"Master Iron" he handed the letter back, "These days you inspect the artillery yourself. In terms of proficiency in operation, you are far better than me. In addition, you were born as a sergeant. You go to compare I'll go get it right."

Bai Fu said that the He family is a merchant and is only responsible for providing supplies. It is best not to interfere with matters related to military affairs, so as not to be beaten by others.

Going to the military for drills this time is a good opportunity to stand out.

It is impossible for a person like Mr. Tie who is good at seizing opportunities not to fight for it. The reason why he proposed to let him go is actually a temptation to know the attitude of the He family on this matter.

After all, since the cooperation between the two parties, they have never talked frankly about the matter of credit. Now the relationship between Mr. Tie and the He family prevents him from taking credit for granted like Supervisor Wang.

Seeing that Mr. Tie still looked embarrassed, Guo Liulang explained:

"If there are many men in the He family, I'd like to join the army for a while. Unfortunately, the affairs of the He family are all on my shoulders. I'm afraid I won't be able to join the army in this life. Master Tie should take pity on my He family's situation."

The situation of the He family is no secret in Anzhou. Now that the Wang family of the Jin family is being suppressed, it really depends on Guo Liulang whether the He family can get up. Lord Tie smiled.

"Well, I'll run this time."

Watching Guo Liulang leave, the two guards looked at each other and followed quietly.

Guo Liulang loved dancing with guns and clubs since he was a child. For the purpose of strengthening his body, Mrs. He invited several martial arts masters for him to teach him. Who would have thought that Guo Liulang was extremely talented in martial arts. After so many years of hard work, Guo Liulang Liu Lang didn't dare to say that his martial arts were world-class, at least he could be called a master.

Leaving the workshop, Guo Liulang noticed something strange. He faintly felt that someone was watching him. He walked to a corner calmly and shot two stones out.

"Where did the thieves come from, why don't you come out and meet them?"

He stared into the darkness and said lightly.

There was silence in the dark.

A hidden guard who was suddenly shot by a stone grinned his teeth in pain but dared not make a sound, and at the same time was surprised--
The higher-ups suddenly sent them to see if Guo Liulang had any secrets, such as disguised as a man, or had a close relationship with a woman. Today is the first time they have been following them, and they did not expect to be discovered so soon
As a hidden guard, martial arts are naturally not bad, just because he didn't guard against being caught off guard by Guo Liulang just now, but it is not easy for Guo Liulang to get them to show up.

When Guo Liulang rushed to the tree where the two were hiding, they had already disappeared.

Guo Liulang frowned.

Who is he being targeted by?

On the way back to Yuandu, Xiao Shizi was extremely uncooperative.

Stomach pain for a while, dizziness for a while, back pain and leg cramps for a while.

Therefore, when he was safely brought back to Yuandu, the regent's injury was almost healed.

Because the trip to Anzhou failed to come true, and the delivery of the letter was intercepted later, Xiao Shizi was so angry that he refused to get off the carriage at the gate of the Prince Regent's mansion.

The servants had no choice but did not dare to force it, so they reported the truth to the regent.

The regent was busy, and when he heard the words, he didn't have a head, so he had someone directly carry the carriage into the courtyard of Xiao Shizi, and then... then he didn't care.

To eat, to eat.

To drink, to drink.

To go to the toilet, Gong Tong sent it to the carriage.

In the end, because it was too cold, Xiao Shizi got out of the carriage and went back to the house angrily.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he saw a little guy who looked exactly like him eating fruit at his exclusive table, and his face turned dark immediately.

"Are you that fake son?" He asked angrily.

The little guy stopped nibbling on the fruit and looked over, "Daddy named me Yuanlue."

On the way, the secret guards of the regent king had already added more details about the fact that the regent recognized a adopted son. Xiao Shizi originally thought he was just a worthless guy, but now seeing this appearance and hearing him call him daddy, he suddenly became angry. up:

"That's not your father! No shouting!"

"Why don't foster father call daddy?"

Yuan Lue had an innocent face, his big eyes blinked, and he had an innocent and cute face.

Xiao Shizi was shocked.

He seemed to see himself pretending to be innocent with his mother.

This kid actually dared to use such a trick on himself.

Too shameless!
"Who let you into my house!" Xiao Shizi stepped forward and snatched Yuanlue's fruit, "Do you think you are the son of the world if you recognize a adoptive father? Stop dreaming!"

Yuanlue was not annoyed, Man Lilisiao wiped his hands, jumped off the stool, looked at Xiao Shizi and said:

"Actually, I don't want to come either, but Dad said he was afraid that you would be lonely, so he asked me to accompany you."

I'm afraid it will make you angry with me!

Xiao Shizi kicked Yuanlue out of the house without saying a word.

The moment Yuan Lue stepped out of the door, the grievances on his face disappeared, and he changed into a resentful face, and walked towards the Prince Regent's courtyard.

When Le Tian and the others came back, they were called by the regent for questioning.

Lego and Fatty followed the regent to Anzhou halfway, and Letian Leshi stayed in Qingzhou with Xiao Shizi, and the two reported what happened in Qingzhou carefully.

The regent didn't say much after hearing this, and let them go first.

When they went out, they saw the resentful young prince coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "My lord, the lord is still talking to Miracle Doctor Tang."

Yuan Lue went straight into the study without looking at the few people.
