Aspirations

Chapter 137
Zhending county government office, study room.

"What? Didn't catch up with Yang Jiang?" Xia Xiang's face was slightly unkind, and Yang Jiang took Fu Ke out of the county government in broad daylight in full view, but he disappeared and spread the word. It would be a shame and humiliation to the Zhending County Government. He said angrily, "If you send someone to look for it again, even if you can't find Fu Ke, you will have to dig up Zhending City to find Yang Jiang!"

"Master Xia, calm down." Seeing Xia Xiang angry for the first time, Ma Zhanguo took a step forward and whispered, "Although Zhending City is not small, there are not many places where people can hide. Yang Jiang dares to take Fu Ke away blatantly." , There must be someone behind it. In the opinion of the officials below, it is not appropriate to mobilize the crowd, just send someone to secretly search for Fu Ke's whereabouts. Yang Jiang, as a security officer, will come to the county government sooner or later."

Zheng Hao was not angry but happy, and laughed: "Forcibly taking Fu Ke away, it can be seen that the other party jumped the wall in a hurry and couldn't hold back. It doesn't matter, Xia Xianzun, after Zheng Tixing arrives, I don't believe Cui Fu Zun will not hand over Fu Ke. In fact, It is also a good thing to come to Yangjiang to take Fu Ke away. Fu Ke is locked in the county government prison. If there is any mistake, it will be Xia Xianzun. Now that Fu Ke is taken away by Yang Jiang, needless to say, it must be the Cui Fuzun Xu Heguang's instigation. Whether it's for reputation or for fear of settling accounts afterwards, Cui Fuzun and Xu Heguang will not let Fuke have any accidents, and they will definitely eat and drink well. In this way, we can rest assured gone."

Xia Xiang thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you Zheng Tongpan for reminding me, I was too impatient just now. What Zheng Tongpan said is very true. Fu Ke was taken away by Yang Jiang. If something goes wrong, Yang Jiang You and the people behind the scenes are all to blame. Forget it, let him go, anyway, Zheng Tixing will arrive in a few days...Now the autumn is just right, I will go outing together tomorrow, how about it?"

Zheng Haoxin thought that Xia Xianzun is really a wonderful person, just now he was in a state of anxiety, but in a blink of an eye, everything was calm and calm, and he couldn't help but give Xia Xiang a high look, such a casual temperament is mostly outsiders, but why Xia Xianzun is still in the officialdom.It is really rare for a person to be so free and easy in the officialdom.

"I just happen to be free, so I should accompany you." Although Zheng Hao prefers Xia Xiang between Cui Xiang and Xia Xiang, after all, it has nothing to do with his personal interests. No matter who wins or loses, it will not matter to him. What a loss.

"Okay, okay, I've heard that Zhending's scenery is beautiful and majestic, and it's also a great thing to enjoy poetry in autumn. This immortal will do my part to accompany Xia Xianzun." Cao Shujun is naturally happy, but he doesn't know How urgent the situation is at this time, I just want to take a good tour.

Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke looked at each other, and the two had the same mind. Ma Zhanguo stepped forward and said: "Xiaxian Zun, the official and Ding Butou still have important tasks to do. Search for Fu Ke, hold Yang Jiang accountable, investigate the river embankment, Wait, I won't go on an outing with Xia Xianzun."

Xia Xiang waved his hands: "You two just go to work, just report to the official in time if you have something to do."

"Xia Xianzun, Xia Xianzun..."

The eager voices of Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan came from outside the door. After a burst of hurried footsteps, Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan entered the room one after the other.

After seeing the ceremony, Xu Wangshan asked: "I don't know if Xia County summoned the two of us to come here. What is the order? The two of us are busy expanding the grain storage to prepare grain. This year is a bumper harvest year. People harvested grain at a fair price, without suppressing the price, and harvested a lot more grain than in previous years."

"Good, good!" Xia Xiang clapped his hands and applauded, "The purpose of a big business is not to gather wealth, but to manage the world and benefit the people. A gentleman loves money and obtains it in the right way, with integrity and self-denial, and does not cheat. Don’t lie. To be rich and benevolent, be willing to do good deeds, and benefit the world at the same time, is the real big businessman.”

Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan looked at each other, and the two looked happy. Ma Qingyuan said: "Thanks to Xia Xianzun's appreciation, I am ashamed. Ma and Xu Yuanwai are real people, and it is a good thing to do what they can for their fathers and fellow villagers." It is our duty to be a human being. If we talk about great merchants, the two of us are still far behind. If we can win Xia Xianzun in the future and don’t dislike it, the two of us will never leave and follow Xia Xianzun around. Great merchants and dedicated themselves.”

Zheng Hao nodded secretly, Ma Qingyuan is a character, he took advantage of the trend, and wanted to take the opportunity to become Xia Xiang's right-hand man, he has winks and is smart enough.

Cao Shujun laughed, and said quickly: "It is not difficult to follow Xia Xianzun in the future. In terms of strength, the two of you can barely get into Xia Xianzun's eyes, but Xia Xianzun is dedicated to the country and the people. I hate profiteers who rob us the most. You two have made up your mind. If you really want to obey Xia County’s order, you can only do legitimate business in the future, and you must also care about the people, not just for your own selfishness. "

Xu Wangshan looked at Cao Shujun suspiciously. Although he didn't know who Cao Shujun was, he could see that Cao Shujun was extraordinary, and he was definitely not an ordinary person. And Ma Yuanwai. Although Xu and Ma Yuanwai are not as good as Changzai and Guangjin Commercial Bank, they are rich and powerful, but they can be regarded as the number one person in Zhending County, and they also have a family property of 10,000+ Guan. The two of us grew up Poor, relying on morning and night to do some small business step by step to today, what things have not been seen and who have not met? Xia Xianzun is young and promising, and has the ambition to be the public, follow Xia Xianzun around, we are willing , Even if you lose all your wealth, you will have to start all over again. Didn’t Li Bai also say that life must be full of happiness, and don’t let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone!”

Ma Qingyuan then said: "What Xu Yuanwai said is exactly Ma's heart. Ma and Xu Yuanwai are also well-informed people. Not only have they read countless people, but they have also seen a lot of ups and downs in the world. I want to do business. If you want to be big, if you want to have a broad structure, it is all in your mind. If you only seek profit for yourself, you will be just a businessman after all. If you care about the people of the world and have China in mind, you can hope to become a real big business. Xia Xianzun, Ma is willing to follow about!"

"Xu is also willing to follow the left and right!" Xu Wangshan clasped his fists and looked solemnly.

Xia Xiang asked the two to come because he had something to entrust them to do. He didn't want the two to come, but there was a show of allegiance first.Although Ma and Xu have a reckless spirit, they are still simple and gentlemen, so they are usable people.

"Since the two of you have the heart to serve the country and the people, I happen to have one matter that falls on the two of you." Xia Xiang smiled lightly, neither accepting nor rejecting the two, "Dong Duan returned to Shile Taking over Dong's firm, he was originally a scholar and didn't know how to run the business. Although Liancheng, a housekeeper who is always in good times, helps him straighten out the accounts, Dong's firm has internal and external troubles, and some people are eyeing Dong's firm. Single strength is weak..."

What a smart person Ma Qingyuan is, he knew Xia Xiang's intentions before Xia Xiang finished speaking, and immediately said: "Don't worry about such a small matter, Xia Xianzun, Ma is willing to take people to Shile to help Dong Duan and Liancheng. "

Xia Xiang nodded and smiled: "In this way, there will be no horsemen."

"It's a matter of course." Ma Qingyuan didn't delay, turned around and left, "It's not too late, Ma will leave immediately."

Xu Wangshan laughed, and bowed his hands towards Ma Qingyuan's back: "I hope that the horsemen will win the flag and the horse will succeed, and Xu will not be far away."

Ma Qingyuan waved his hand without looking back, and laughter came from far away: "Mr. Xu, you stay in Zhending and serve Xiaxian Zun's front and rear horses. When Ma returns from Shile, there will be a big celebration banquet."

After sitting down again, Xu Wangshan heard that Fu Ke was taken away by Yang Jiang privately and hid, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Yang Yasi is too bold to do such a thing?" After thinking about something again, he couldn't help shaking his head Sighing, "The case of Fu Ke seems to have touched some people's pain points, and some people want to kill people to silence them."

"Mr. Xu, where do you think is the most suitable hiding place in Zhending City?" Xia Xiang asked with a smile. Xu Wangshan was born and raised in Zhending, and his familiarity with Zhending City is unmatched by everyone present.

Xu Wangshan thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although I grew up in Zhending City, there are more than [-] people in Zhending City and tens of thousands of houses. It is very easy to hide a person, and Zhending City There are mountains, rivers, and forests, and people can hide everywhere. If you want to know where Fu Ke is hiding, arresting Yang Jiang for interrogation is the fastest way."

Xia Xiang shook his head: "Since Yang Jiang dared to take Fu Ke away blatantly, someone must try to protect him..."

Before Xia Xiang finished speaking, someone reported: "Xia Xianzun, Xu Xiancheng and Yang Yasi are asking to see you."

Zheng Hao sneered: "You are so courageous, you dare to come back swaggeringly, you are really full of confidence."

Xia Xiang was not angry, he chuckled: "Let them in."

After a while, Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang walked in with their heads held high. After the ceremony, Xu Heguang stepped forward and said: "Xia County Lord, by the order of Cui Mansion Lord, Yang Yasi will be seconded to the government office today to assist Mrs. Gao. Wei and Taiwei Yan were responsible for the security of Zhending City. In addition, under the orders of Cui Fuzun, Yasi Yang took the prisoner Fu Ke away."

With one hand turning the darkness into light, Xia Xiang has no reason to punish Yang Jiang's crime. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is Fu Ke now?"

Yang Jiang changed from his previous servile attitude, and said arrogantly: "Return to the Xia County Lord, because it is the order of the Cui Mansion Lord, Fu Ke's whereabouts must not be known to outsiders, and the official has nothing to say."

"What a guts!" Before Ma Zhanguo could yell, Zheng Hao couldn't hold back and glared at Yang Jiang. With the support of Fu Zun, you can do whatever you want, with my official here, Cui Fu Zun's government orders will not come out of Zhending Mansion!"

Yang Jiang blushed, but he didn't dare to look directly into Zheng Hao's eyes. He bent slightly and said, "Zheng Tong made a mistake and blamed the subordinate, and the subordinate did not dare to disrespect Xia Xianzun, but this matter was indeed ordered by Cui Fuzun." Come down, the subordinates dare not disobey."

"Forget it, since it's Cui Fuzun who wants to intervene in Fu Ke's case, I should obey orders." Xia Xiang waved his hand, signaling Zheng Hao not to get angry, "No matter where Fu Ke is, he will go out from the county government office. At that time, he was in good health. When he returns, he will definitely be intact. Xu Xiancheng, Yang Yasi, and Fu Ke are the key witnesses. You two must ensure that he returns to the county government prison safely. If he There was a half-point error, and this official is asking you."

Xu Heguang originally wanted to take advantage of Fu Ke's incident to anger Xia Xiang, so as to kill Xia Xiang's prestige, but instead of getting angry, Xia Xiang hit backhand, putting him and Yang Jiang in a situation where there was no way out. Qi said: "Fu Ke was taken away by Cui Fuzun, what's the matter with me? If Fu Ke made a mistake, Xia Xianzun should go to Cui Fuzun to ask the crime."

Xu Heguang knew that Xia Xiang didn't dare to question Cui Xiang, so he said this on purpose.

Xia Xiang chuckled: "Yang Jiang took Fu Ke away privately without reporting to the official. Although he was ordered by Cui's lord, he was also suspected of trespassing. As the county magistrate, Xu Xiancheng has nothing to do with Yang Jiang taking Fu Ke away. Reported to the official in advance, and did not stop it in time afterwards, which is suspected of dereliction of duty. The official ordered you two to be fully responsible for Fu Ke's safety from now on, and there must be no mistakes!"

The first-level officials crushed people to death, Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang carried out Cui Xiang to suppress Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang directly ordered the two to do things with the prestige of the county lord, if the two did not obey, they would have disobeyed the orders of their superiors, and the two were against each other. Glancing at him, he bowed helplessly to Xia Xiang: "I would like to follow the order of Xia Xianzun."

"Okay, it's okay, you two can go down." Xia Xiang waved the two of them away.

As soon as the two left, Zheng Hao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Xia Xianzun has a good wrist, so that Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang can't tell the pain. Although they took Fu Ke away, they couldn't beat or kill them, and finally sent them back obediently." , otherwise it is dereliction of duty and you have to bear the fault. It is tantamount to linking Fu Ke's safety with the future of the two, so that even if others want to kill Fu Ke, the two will try their best to stop it. "

Xia Xiang showed a worried look on his face: "I'm not worried about Fu Ke's safety, but I'm just worried that after Zheng Ti's punishment arrives, Fu Ke will either disappear, or he will suddenly retract his confession in public after showing up, which will cause trouble. But... There are still a few days before the punishment arrives, let’s not worry about that much, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today.”

Xu Wangshan admired Xia Xiang's mind very much, but he was still a little bit worried: "Master Xia, it's better to let Xu send someone to secretly search for Fu Ke's whereabouts. If he finds it, it's better to act first."

Ma Zhanguo nodded: "I also ask Xu Yuanwai to help me investigate Fu Ke's whereabouts."

"It's easy to talk about." Xu Wangshan agreed.

Seeing that everything was well arranged, Xia Xiang couldn't help being excited: "Let's go to Guanxin Pavilion. Lady Lian, Lady Cao, and Lady Xiao are guests from afar, and we're only here to discuss things. We don't treat distinguished guests well, not hospitality. way."

Several people followed Xia Xiang to Guanxin Pavilion, but Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke did not accompany them.Walking halfway, Man Tuo suddenly said: "If Tian Manchu is smart, he should go south instead of running to the capital."
