Han Garden.

Xue Poye looked at the invitation card that Lao Song had just sent, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Although he knew that Mrs. Fang would use this trick sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so soon. He sent the invitation card within a day after he came back from Suzhou.

Of course, this is not a good invitation. It is an invitation from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. The content is very simple, but it is to call Hangzhou businessmen big and small to meet in Baoyutang.

Baoyutang is a separate courtyard, of course it is the courtyard of the Lu family. It is located in the center of Hangzhou, and it is the only way to pass through the large and small transportation hubs of Hangzhou. It is not considered clean.

In the outer residence of Baoyutang, there is a shop of the Lu family, which deals in jewelry and antiques.

This gathering may be nothing in the eyes of other people, but Xue Poye knows very well in his heart that the Lu family is going to attack him at this Chamber of Commerce gathering.

With a state chamber of commerce to deal with a fledgling young man, even if the young man has amazing business talents, it must still be effortless.

Lao Song looked at Xue Poye worriedly, of course he knew the strength of Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce better than Xue Poye.

This meeting is scheduled for three days later.

Xue Poye threw the invitation on the table and sneered. Although he disdained Mrs. Lu Jiafang's methods, he also knew that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce represented the biggest force in Hangzhou's business community, and any individual merchant was absolutely incapable of doing so. To deal with such a powerful business organization, this of course also includes oneself.

So Xue Poye felt that it was necessary to think carefully about what kind of tricks Mrs. Fang would use to suppress herself in this gathering, and she must be fully prepared to deal with it.

……

Moyunzhai was not far from Hangzhou City, so Ye Tianxiang's troops returned to Suzhou soon. After returning to the camp, Ye Tianxiang came to Hanyuan with a look of annoyance.

Xue Poye could tell from the expression on his face that this operation naturally failed.

"Damn it!" Ye Tianxiang cursed angrily, "Those bandits have all disappeared like ghosts, and there is no one in the entire village, not even a pig or dog."

Xue Poye sighed: "Then this time, isn't it a waste of time?"

Ye Tianxiang clenched his fists and said: "I don't believe that gang of thieves will disappear out of thin air. I have sent spies to investigate around. The troops will stay in Hangzhou camp for a few days. Once they are found, they will be killed immediately." Can't help it. He slapped his thigh, very annoyed and angry.

Xue Poye remained calm, pretending to be puzzled and said: "Not many people know about this, even your brothers probably don't know much about it? But why did the bandits in Moyunzhai know? It's strange!"

He was thinking of advance as retreat. In this way, even if Ye Tianxiang broke his head, he would never think that something went wrong on his side.

Ye Tianxiang gritted his teeth, frowned and thought hard, and finally suppressed his voice and said: "Damn, it might be the letter from those guys in Hangzhou. Although some of my brothers know about it, they are all loyal and loyal. The problem, on the contrary, is that Hu Dutong and several generals in the Hangzhou camp know that they cannot get away with this matter. This Moyunzhai has stayed in the boundary of Hangzhou for so many years, and the soldiers and horses in Hangzhou did not move, allowing them to do evil , I think they are the same breed, ****......!" Gritting teeth.

He regarded Xue Poye as one of his own, so he did not hide his distaste for the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou, and even boldly speculated that the informed generals in the Hangzhou camp leaked the news, but he never thought that Xue Poye had something to do with this matter .

Xue Poye pretended to think about it deeply, and said closer: "Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou may have something to do with Moyun Village, so you have to be on guard, maybe all the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou have taken over Moyun Village of silver."

For Xue Poye's reminder, Ye Tianxiang was very grateful, and gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, brother, I will keep this matter in mind. I will definitely kill the bandits in Moyunzhai."

After lunch in the Han Garden, Ye Tianxiang went back to the camp alone, but a brother Qing Lianzhao, who was pretending to be a staff, rushed over and handed Xue Poye a note, and passed by without anyone noticing.

Xue Poye was a little strange, but since the note was handed over by Qing Lianzhao's brother, it was naturally related to Qing Lianzhao's affairs. When he returned to the office, he opened the note and saw the following words: "Lingyin Temple, Dayuan's former residence, let's discuss important matters!" A lotus-shaped pattern was drawn on the back.

The lotus flower girl is Lv Niangzi, and this letter was obviously sent by Lv Niangzi.

After burning the note, Xue Poye frowned. The letter said that there was a big deal to discuss, but he didn't know what kind of big deal it was.

Suddenly I thought of Juhua boy Duan Kezhang. Since he went to the capital, this old man had sent several secret letters, but there was no news for a while. Could it be that the big thing is that there is something wrong with Duan Kezhang?

This is very possible. There are many masters in the capital, and if there is a slight negligence, his life may be in danger. Although Qinglianzhao has a sub-helm in Kyoto and an underground intelligence network, it has nothing to do with the intelligence network of the Kyoto Procuratorate and the intelligence network of the Imperial City. Compared with the information of the organization, it is very different.

In addition to the dreadful Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are three major garrison troops in Kyoto, the Internal Servant, City Patroller, and the Kyoto Prefecture. There are no masters everywhere. If Duan Kezhang is in the hands of these people, it is really not What amazing news.

This time, Lv Niangzi believed that she was going to Lingyin Temple. Since Dayuan sat down, the victory hall of Lingyin Temple has been handed over to Mingxu, and Mingxu is now in Suzhou, treating Qiao Ting, so Lingyin The current person in charge of the Yin Temple is the newly promoted deputy head of Shengtang.

If Hangzhou is the most suitable place for Qinglian Zhaonao to gather, it is really Tui Lingyin Temple. There are Buddhist monks covering it up. Few people can think that it is Qinglianzhao's lair there. more confusing.

Although Xiao Pan sent his subordinates to investigate the murderer who killed Tieniu, he stayed in the shop honestly for fear of arousing suspicion.

Xue Poye called Lao Song and told him to go out to find an open space suitable for building a workshop. Once Luo Ding and the others from Suzhou came over, they would start to take action here. The first step would be to use the technology of the Qiao family to make silk in Hangzhou. Cloth, only by making silk cloth, can it make waves in Hangzhou.

As for a batch of sales outlets, Xue Poye had long thought of Qinglianzhao's head, there are quite a few shops under the Hangzhou sub-helm, and the income of these shops is handed over to the accountant of Shengtang, and then transferred to the main helm for funding.

Once the workshop produces silk cloth, the cost will be extremely low, and compared with the Lu family, the advantage is also great.

First of all, Fang Lu's family can't keep up with Qiao's in terms of silk technology, and the source of raw materials is not as extensive as Qiao's. The Fang family provided it, with extra manpower and freight, so compared with Xue Poye's local production of silk cloth in Hangzhou, the cost is not a little bit higher.

To put it more clearly, if the cost of Xue Poye's silk cloth is three qian per bolt, then the Lu family will definitely have to pay five qian. The quality of the silk cloth is higher than that of the Lu family's silk cloth, so when the price and quality are both superior, if there are no other factors, it will naturally defeat the Lu family soon.

The Lu family's silk business has been very good before. The reason is that no one dares to compete.

Lao Song has already worshiped his shopkeeper like a god. I am afraid that Xue Poye will lead people to capture the capital to become emperor, and Lao Song will rush forward with a broom on his shoulders, so he will leave immediately for the selection of the address of the workshop. to do.

There is an open space on the south side of the West Lake. Next to the open space is a very small earth temple. It is very conspicuous under the verdant green trees, and the wind is warm. In this open space, it is a car hire known by Hangzhou locals. district.

As the name suggests, the car rental area is a place where horse-drawn carriages are concentrated. If foreigners come here and want to visit Hangzhou but do not have a car, then it is convenient and cheap to hire a horse-drawn carriage here. It is really an excellent choice.

When Xue Poye went to Suzhou, the carriage that hired Master Shao was called from here.

However, Master Shao was shocked in Suzhou, and after returning to Hangzhou, Xue Poye gave him a very generous reward, so he has been training at home for the past few days and has not worked.

Xue Poye hailed a car here, took Xiao Pan, and rushed to Lingyin Temple.

The golden lion did not ride back, and was still at Lanyuexuan, but even if the golden lion was there, Xue Poye would choose to take a carriage. After all, there are many such carriages in Hangzhou City, and no one would pay attention, but the golden lion is very It is conspicuous, and many people in Hangzhou know that Xue Poye, the shopkeeper of Renyi in Hanyuan, is riding a golden horse.

Of course, Xue Poye is not afraid of those people asking for his signature, but afraid that some guys who hide in the dark and plot against him will pay attention to his whereabouts. Only by riding in such a carriage can he avoid many eyes and ears. By the side, Xue Poye was in a more relaxed mood. Of course he believed in Xiao Pan's anti-stalking ability, and he also believed that he would not be targeted.

Get off the bus not far from the west entrance of Lingyin Temple, pay the fare, Xue Poye strolled along with Xiao Pan for a while, and then arrived at the main entrance of Lingyin Temple, and went up the steps, but there were many tourists and The pilgrims all seemed very pious.

As soon as he entered Lingyin Temple, under a pagoda, Xue Poye saw the unpredictable Chen Fu.

Chen Fu still had an easy-going smile on his face, looking very humble, smiled and nodded towards Xue Poye, turned around, and walked towards the "Jingxin Temple" where Da Yuan was, while Xue Poye and Xiao Pan It also seemed to follow inadvertently.

"What's the matter?" Xue Poye rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "It's done so carefully and solemnly."
