Lin Gao Qiming

Although the words were beautifully said, the momentum has dropped a lot, and the original enthusiasm of "destroy this imperial eclipse" has completely disappeared.Shopkeeper Shen couldn't help but wonder, it had only been a few days, why did everyone suddenly change their gender?
Could it be that Leng Ningyun had secret talks with them in the past few days and made some kind of... private deal?

Shopkeeper Shen looked suspiciously at Shopkeeper Qin.The two exchanged glances and went outside separately with excuses.Seeing no one around, Shopkeeper Shen asked: "Old Qin! What's going on inside? Everyone is a softie!"

"I don't know either." Shopkeeper Qin looked confused, "I said it well years ago! Everyone was happy when we shared the tickets. Besides, even if Delong's tickets turned into waste paper, the family would only lose a few dollars at most. One hundred taels.”

"Could it be that Leng Kun used some means to promise them benefits?"

"This...can't be right?" Shopkeeper Qin hesitated, "We in Shanxi House have always been in the same boat. We all suffer, and both prosper. What does Leng Ningyun do to bribe everyone?"

Shopkeeper Shen thought the same thing, Leng Ningyun couldn't say he had any cards in his hand now.

"This is surprising!" he murmured.

"I think Leng Ningyun must have used some kind of trick," Shopkeeper Qin said, "I'd better check everyone's tone first."

The two returned to the house one after the other.Shopkeeper Lu who could only hear the seal was talking: "...This Leng Ningyun will definitely come tonight. If not, I will be your grandson..."

Shopkeeper Shen frowned slightly, thinking that Shopkeeper Lu is still so vulgar!

Most of the shopkeepers in Shanxi Houses come from lower class backgrounds and have worked their way up through the ranks as apprentices.Most of them have only attended private schools for a few years and are considered to be proficient in writing.It's just that they have been practicing in the shopping mall for many years, and they have naturally learned to talk like businessmen.Only Shopkeeper Lu remained true to his true colors and showed his true colors in just a few words.

Shopkeeper Lu didn't care at all about Shopkeeper Shen's disgusted expression, and continued to talk enthusiastically: "He asked Shuntian Prefecture to lift the seal, and visited his colleagues, and made it clear that it was a hard-cap opening. Since it was a hard-cap opening, why not? Come and show up at the God of Wealth Banquet. Maybe, he hopes to get some money from us!"

"Haha... Speaking of which, isn't Delong's boss Kun Thief? I heard that Kun Thief is very rich!"

"It's a pity that no matter how rich we are, you and I can't go to Guangdong to get it. Otherwise, we can make a fortune by taking these Delong bank notes to Guangzhou and paying for them fully."

"What a beautiful idea you have! Delong has never admitted that he is a thief. You go and pay, and the thief in Guangzhou says that you are a spy sent by the imperial court. He will take the sea skin and ask him to kill him..."

"Hahaha……"

The hall was filled with laughter, but this happy laughter was indescribably weird to Shen and Qin.

So far in the meeting, no one has made any suggestions on how to squeeze out Delong. On the contrary, many people have poured cold water on him.

This is so strange.Shopkeeper Shen has been in the capital for more than 20 years, and the shortest time he has worked with these people is seven or eight years.I know that although they have different temperaments, when it comes to doing business, they are all decisive and ruthless people.

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.This arrow will not shoot out.He couldn't explain the threshold behind the scenes, let alone in front of his boss...

When he thought of his employer, he started to sweat a little.My reputation in the past few decades, the prosperity of the rest of my life and my descendants all depend on this.

At that moment, he coughed and said, "If the thief Kun really comes to the capital, my man's head will be very unstable."

"When the thief arrived in Guangzhou, he didn't see any of his colleagues in Guangzhou moving their heads," someone said.

There are many Shanxi businessmen doing business in Guangzhou.There are many Shanxi merchants doing business on Haopan Street where Guo Dongzhu made his fortune.The situation of the Kun thief can be somewhat understood from the exchange of letters.

"Haha, that's different." Shopkeeper Shen sneered, "Our colleagues in Guangzhou have never offended the Kun thief. We people, we offended Shopkeeper Leng to death..."

As soon as these words came out, the hall that was originally filled with laughter suddenly became cold.When it comes to the run on Delong, many of these eight companies were involved.Especially when Delong first arrived in the capital, not only did the eight families join forces, they also used official power. If it hadn't been for Eunuch Yang behind Leng Ningyun to come forward, Delong would have been wiped out long ago.

Although everyone cooperated smoothly later, when the Kun thieves landed in Guangdong, the eight families conspired again, intending to label Delong as a "reverse childbirth" and Leng Ningyun as a "Kun thieves spy" - this time it was even worse than the last time. Seriously, if it really happened, Leng Ningyun would probably lose his life.

"... Think about it, if you are Leng Ningyun, can you swallow this breath? We can't bring us all to the market entrance, where he sits at the door of Heniantang and watches his enemies being chopped alive?" Seeing that everyone in the hall looked horrified, Shopkeeper Shen couldn't help but feel proud, look at you guys!
He continued to confuse: "If you beat the snake, you will be harmed by it! This Leng Ningyun has just been rescued. Delong is at his weakest. There are already a lot of rumors outside. We only need to add fuel to the flames. We don't need to work harder. A run on the depositors and banknotes outside will kill him!"

There was another murmur in the hall.These words are not without purpose.

"The thief Kun can attack the capital, unless the sun comes out in the west." Shopkeeper Lu looked disdainful, "Besides, if the thief Kun really wants to attack, what are we still doing here, eating pots of milk?"

"You don't want to do business?"

"Business? You've offended Leng Ningyun to death. Is it possible that you're still squatting in the capital waiting for him to come and behead him? Naturally, he packs up and goes back to Shanxi. Business can't be done. Besides life and business, life is more important..."

Shopkeeper Shen was most annoyed by this guy's tongue-in-cheek remarks, but his words were quite reasonable.If the Kun thieves really gained power, they would not be able to survive in the capital.On the other hand, as long as the Kun thieves don't attack, the capital will still be their world.

Shopkeeper Cao coughed, signaling everyone to stop arguing.He wanted to say a few "fair words."

"Everyone, don't argue anymore. Delong has always been a member of our trade guild. There is no need to guess whether he is a thief or not. The government says yes. If the government says otherwise, we will assume he is not." Cao The shopkeeper said slowly.

"That's right." Everyone nodded in agreement. Shopkeeper Shen was in a hurry and was about to say something. Shopkeeper Cao waved his hand and continued:
"As for whether Delong is severely weakened or vigorous, that is their own business. We are colleagues, so we can only comment a few words."

Shopkeeper Shen was furious. This was simply "capitulationism". Just as he was about to question, Shopkeeper Cao still said unhurriedly: "As for Delong's notes in each family's hands, each family is doing its own business. I feel it is not safe." Yes, I took advantage of the fact that he was open in the past few days and hurriedly went to cash it. If I really think Delong can hold it, it won't be a problem to leave it alone. It's common for us in the money industry to suffer such wasteful bills."

This statement is comprehensive and watertight.But Shopkeeper Shen knew that the originally negotiated plan of "joining forces with one voice and sharing the same spirit" to defeat Delong had become empty words and had been changed to "do one's own thing".

Although Shopkeeper Shen is convinced that each company is not optimistic about Delong's future, and there is still huge profits to be made, and the original run on the company is inevitable, the combined efforts of the eight companies and the power exerted by the eight companies on their own are completely different.If the eight companies act together, they can coordinate the progress and make unified arrangements, which can knock Delong out of breath.By spreading out, Delong has much more room to deal with it.

He wanted to say something more, but Shopkeeper Yuan muttered: "Delong is really going to fall, and I'm afraid Eunuch Yang won't let it go."

Eunuch Yang is the head of the Bell and Drum Division. Although he is not as powerful as the powerful yamen such as Si Li Jian and Yu Ma Jian, he is still the chief of one of the 24 yamen.If they really offended him to death, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Are you afraid?" Shopkeeper Qin said, "Eunuch Yang has sent someone to pick up his silver a long time ago. As soon as the seal is opened tomorrow, Leng Ningyun will obediently hand over the 10 taels of silver. As soon as Eunuch Yang gets the money, Leng Ningyun Does Yun care whether he lives or dies?"

"That's what I said..." Shopkeeper Yuan obviously didn't feel confident.Twice they attempted to kill Delong, and both times Eunuch Yang intervened.Moreover, the second time because Delong was suspected of being a thief, Eunuch Yang already wanted to give up. In the end, Delong survived safely, which made them have to suspect that besides Eunuch Yang, Delong had a more powerful threshold. .

"Eunuch Yang's attitude is probably between two choices." Qiao Wannian remained silent until he said slowly, "He is eager to raise the money, which shows that he is not optimistic about Delong, and I'm afraid he won't be able to contribute." Try to protect it. Otherwise, the money will not be withdrawn."

"Old Qiao is right! If you really treat Delong as your godson, you have to provide help in times of need. There is no way to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron!" Shopkeeper Qin immediately agreed, "He just sits on the bank and watches the water rise. It's good that Delong doesn't collapse. Delong wants to If it falls, he won’t have much loss.”

"Yes, at worst we can work together to give him a few thousand dollars afterwards," Shopkeeper Shen said.

Shopkeeper Lu said: "I don't have that much money to plug a dog hole..."

Shopkeeper Shen was about to argue again, but Shopkeeper Cao came out to persuade him: "This is all for the funeral! Why are you arguing so much!"

"When it comes to thresholds, who doesn't have one? Are you so afraid of Eunuch Yang?!" Shopkeeper Qin encouraged everyone, "When Eunuch Wei came to power, he was already a nobody. Now that he has ascended the throne, he is not a eunuch who trusts the palace. Damn it. Only by currying favor with old people from Qiandi did he get into the position of Director of Bells and Drums. As for my friendship with several internal ministers, I'm afraid it's not very deep. It's not a big deal."

"You put it lightly, what if there is some insider stake in Delong? But because of his reputation, he just asked Eunuch Yang to hold it on his behalf!"

"If this is really the case, can Leng Ningyun be kidnapped?"

……

A group of people were chatting lively when suddenly a young boy from outside came in and announced: "Master Leng Ning Yun Leng of Delong is here!"
