Jinghong Tower

At this time, Wu Dongming never dreamed that King Jin would put the blame for the robbery of thirty carts of things on his head.

When Wu Dongming heard the news, he was so angry that he also brushed the things on the table to the ground.

Thirty cartloads of stuff, why didn't he rob it?

King Jin thought it was Wu Dongming who robbed it, but Wu Dongming was almost certain that He Ran did it!

No wonder he was sent away early. It turned out that King Jin was going to send something to Fenzhou. At that time, He Ran was planning how to rob him.

Wu Dongming thought again of the dragon-qi house he bought at a high price in Zhoujiapu. He suffered a big loss.

He Ran, eat alone!

Wu Dongming thought for a while, and then asked Wu Ji to come over. He looked Wu Ji up and down. Wu Ji was confused, why did his father look like a human trafficker?

"Father, are you looking for me?" Wu Ji was cautious.

"It's a bit short," Wu Dongming sighed. Why hadn't he noticed that the eldest son was so short before? "Your grandfather was tall and mighty. I am not short either, and your brothers are not short either. Why are you so short?"

In fact, Wu Ji is not short, he is of medium height, but in the Wu family, he is indeed a little shorter than his father and younger brother.

Wu Ji heard a strong sense of disgust in his father's tone, not only disgust, but also suspicion. Thinking of the rumors he had just heard about King Jin's life experience, Wu Ji's heart sank. Could it be that his father suspected that he was not his biological son? of?

"Father, didn't you say that my appearance has followed yours?"

Wu Ji remembered that among the three brothers, he was the only one whose father was not in the house when he was born. At that time, his father was fighting with the Tatars at the border. Could it be because of this that his father suspected him?

"Nonsense, you are the most handsome in our family, of course you followed me!" Wu Dongming said loudly.

Wu Ji was just happy when he heard Wu Dongming continue: "But why are you so short?"

Wu Ji's heart went cold. Just as he was about to defend himself, he heard his father saying to himself: "I have no choice, my biological son, I can only make ends meet to support him."

Wu Ji is going to kneel down to his father. Thank you for your kindness.

"You're short, you're short. You don't know what to do. Look at your appearance. You're older than you and me. No wonder He Ran doesn't like you!" Wu Dongming didn't stop talking and continued to hurt.

"Father, do you want to sell me again?"

"Sell whatever you want, you are worthless, do you know? He Ran robbed the things that King Jin gave to Cai, thirty carts, thirty carts in total!"

Wu Dongming's heart was broken. Now He Ran was not the only one who was short of money, men and weapons, but also him!

He resolutely raised an army, not only because he hated the King of Jin for defending the Cai family, but also because the imperial court was in arrears with military pay!

The military pay from the year before last was not paid yet, so he used his own money to pay for it!

The Wu family has been operating in the northwest for many years and is indeed very wealthy, but raising an army is a bottomless pit. It's okay to pay for it once, but you have to pay for it every time. No matter how thick the family wealth is, it will be emptied.

He made several offers, but they all came to nothing. In the end, he got the military salary from the merchants.

Since they all want him to make money to support the army, then he should simply support his own family, that's the opposite.

Now that it was really reversed, he discovered that there was a big difference between fighting and not fighting with money.

Thirty carts of stuff, although it was a lot before, he wouldn't take it seriously, but now, let alone thirty carts, even twenty carts, he would take it back.

It turned out that dad was because of this incident. Wu Ji felt that he had been hurt again: "Father, you are not really going to let me ask to marry He Ran, are you?"

Wu Dongming gave him a disappointed look: "You are too short for her to look down on."

If He Ran could become a member of the Wu family, have King Xiao Zhao, and have a daughter-in-law who can cheat, abduct, and rob, what a beautiful world this would be!

At this time, He Ran had returned to Qingcang Mountain.

This time, 200 people went out and 300 people came back.

The soldiers of the two flags who were picked to "rob" were very excited. This was their first battle, and they were fighting with the boss. Although the boss said that this was not a real war, they were still excited.

The newly recruited 1,000 people had also entered the mountain, and He Ran handed them over to Lu Zhen along with the more than 100 prisoners.

"I read the military manual you wrote silently. The fact that I can remember so much shows that you have studied hard. Now I leave these people to you and hope that you will train an elite army."

Although a lot of weapons have been snatched, many new soldiers have been recruited, so the weapons are still not enough. As for the armor, it is even worse.

The imperial court has control over pig iron and weapons. Of course, if Master He wants to purchase weapons, there are ways to do so, but that is not a long-term solution after all.

Therefore, it is still necessary to occupy Jin land first. Jin land has iron ore, and with iron ore, weapons can be made.

The iron ore currently discovered in Jin belonged to the imperial court in the early years, but now, it all belongs to the King of Jin.

He Ran didn't just think about it, she sent a team of ten people, led by He Shaolin, who was the person in the village who was responsible for doing business and making money.

He Shaolin has been out in the mountains with his father and uncle since he was fifteen years old, taking medicinal materials and prey from the mountains to the outside. After selling them, he bought books, pens and ink, farm tools and daily necessities that were not available in the mountains.

They also sell some goods to earn money to subsidize the village's daily expenses.

Although Jinghong Tower also gives money and gifts to the village, He Shaolin has also helped the village make a lot of money over the years.

Although He Shaolin is only thirty-two years old now, he already has seventeen years of business experience.

Not only was he well-educated, he was also good at martial arts. After He Ran had a long conversation with him, he decided to send him out to buy weapons and iron ore, while also looking for iron ore that had not been known to the court or the Yamen. .

At this moment, news came from Heitu that they had found the whereabouts of Liu Ruyan.

At that time, Liu Ruyan found a successor to redeem her life, and followed the man back to his hometown.

But after returning to the man's hometown, Liu Ruyan realized that she had been fooled.

This man is not an honest person at all. He did not really like her when he redeemed her, but just to find a wife for his two stupid brothers!

The man's parents were cousins ​​who eloped. They gave birth to four sons, one died at birth, and the other two were idiots, in their thirties, still playing with their own shit. Just put it in your mouth.

But these two fools were obsessed with wives. They started clamoring for a wife when they were fourteen or fifteen years old, and even went to get under the bed of their sister-in-law. It was for this reason that the man's first wife ran back to her parents' home and never came back.

Among the four sons, only this man was a normal person. He was smart enough. He made money in business and married wives for his two stupid brothers. However, not long after, one of the two sisters-in-law committed suicide and the other ran away. Later, he bought two more. Well, these two simply hanged themselves together.

As for the maids and wives, I don’t know how many of them died silently. These two fools wanted women, but they pushed them to death.

The man met Liu Ruyan when he was visiting a brothel. Liu Ruyan thought that he had met a stupid man with a lot of money, and she stalked the man to redeem her body. The man got annoyed by her and had an idea.

Liu Ruyan was not young, she had given birth to children, and she was already in ruins. The man redeemed Liu Ruyan at a very cheap price, and he did not expect her to continue the family line, so he asked her to serve two fools.

When Heitu found Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan was tied with an iron chain, naked, and lying on the ground like an animal.
