Fan Dongyang has always believed that if you want to make a fortune, you must hug your thick enough thighs, and the Zhou family, who is extremely prominent in Tianjin, hugged Beiyang's thighs, so that they have the current scenery. However, in Fan Dongyang's eyes, Beiyang's thigh is not thick enough and not stable enough, only the big thick thighs of the great powers are the most haode choice.

And among all the powers, Fan Dongyang is also constantly screening, Britain, France, the United States, Europe and the United States are far away, as the so-called whip is beyond the reach of the whip, the most worthy of the service is Japan and Russia, the Japanese won the Russo-Japanese War again, so it has become the most haode choice to take refuge in Japan.

In addition, there is another point that makes Fan Dongyang determined, his name is Dongyang, and the Japanese are also called Dongyang, this may be the providence in the dark, the Fan family is going to prosper again!

Ever since the Feng army regained the Middle East Road, the Japanese felt the pressure, and the increasingly powerful Feng army was beyond the control of the Japanese, and the Feng army had begun to build factories in a systematic manner, develop road transportation, and compete with the Japanese in many fields.

Not long ago, the Japanese learned that Fengjun was preparing to build an oil mill, and it immediately touched the sensitive nerves of the Japanese, soybeans are the most important agricultural products in Northeast China, and they are also one of the most lucrative industries, and the Japanese absolutely do not want to see Fengjun snatch the soybean industry away.

After thinking about it, the Japanese were ready to support another large-scale oil mill to completely divide up the soybean resources of the three eastern provinces and at the same time control China's domestic market.

Fan Dongyang and the Japanese hit it off, and quickly determined the cooperative relationship, and now it has been basically discussed, and at this time, Feng Jun suddenly killed the Fan family, which made Fan Dongyang a little panicked, but the opposite side of the Standing Tree Nosuke did not care.

"Fansan. Don't be afraid, you are a friend of the Empire, and the Imperial government will protect you firmly, don't care about the army. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ligao!" Fan Dongyang gave a deep salute, and then let the housekeeper lead the way, and gathered a large group of guards, surrounded by everyone, he came to the gate of the mansion.

Fan Dongyang was also taken aback at a glance, only to see that the number of troops outside was amazing, and all of them were loaded with guns. By the light of the torches, you can also see some machine guns and artillery, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, ready for battle, and the army is well-groomed. At first glance, it is not an ordinary rabble, Fan Dongyang sees it in his eyes. Anxious in the heart.

His brain was spinning. It seems that he has not offended such a strange army, he can only pretend to be calm and say loudly: "The military master opposite, come to my house late at night, what is the matter with you?" ”

"There is indeed something, we are here to arrest the restorationist Fan Dongyang. Open the gates of the house at once, and capture them all, or the army will enter at once!" ”

When Fan Dongyang heard that he was going to arrest himself, he also said that he was a restorationist. He was a little weak in his heart, when Zhang Xun was restored, Fan Dongyang did contact Zhang Xun and sent 200,000 oceans to express his loyalty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, could it be that this matter was found out?

He hurriedly said: "Master Jun, you have made a mistake that Fan is a legitimate businessman, and he will definitely not participate in any restoration actions, you must not listen to slanderous rumors and false accusations." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, since we found out your head, we will honestly cooperate, do you still want us to use force?"

Fan Dongyang saw that the other party had a tough attitude, he also sank his face, and said loudly: "Fan is not an ordinary person, he will let others bully me, if there is anything, we can sit down and talk slowly!" ”

Fan Dongyang wanted to say something more, Zhang Tinglan was already impatient to wait behind, for such a guy, he had to cut through the mess quickly, and he couldn't give him a chance to escape, if he ran to the concession area, I am afraid he would never be able to catch it again.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Tinglan waved his hand, a platoon of Feng soldiers quickly rushed out and pounced directly on Fan Dongyang and others, Fan Dongyang did not expect that Feng Jun would do it directly, and he was not willing to be captured, and those bodyguards under him still wanted to resist.

A few people still have to raise their guns, the Fengjun soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, how can they be given a chance, they can hear a few crisp gunshots, and the guards who want to resist are all killed, Fan Dongyang was also scared stupid all of a sudden, and several Fengjun soldiers arrested him on the spot.

After controlling this guy, the Feng army rushed into the mansion and controlled all the personnel, and just when the Feng soldiers rushed to the middle hall, Tachitakanosuke also walked out, his brows were furrowed, he looked very unhappy, and said loudly: "What are you doing, hurry up and release Mr. Fan Dongyang, he is a friend of our Great Japanese Empire, you dare to arrest him, it is unreasonable!" ”

Fan Dongyang saw Ligao Zhisuke, as if he had seen his own mother, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Mr. Ligao, help me quickly, these people are simply robbers!" ”

Ligao Zhisuke walked quickly in front of Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang, and said loudly: "You must stop offending Mr. Fan, otherwise we will go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to sue you." ”

Zhang Tinglan sneered: "Please!" If you don't sue us, we still have to find the Japanese, Fan Dongyang colluded with Zhang Xun to restore the imperial system and restore the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the evidence is very conclusive, you Japanese and Fan Dongyang have cooperation, does it mean that the Japanese are also involved in the conspiracy to restore? ”

"You are talking nonsense, this is a slander against the Great Japanese Empire, I will not let you go!" Tachitakanosuke was still shouting, and several of the soldiers had already pointed their bayonets at him.

When Tatsutakanosuke saw that the other party had a tough attitude, and there were soldiers with loaded guns everywhere, he himself could not play a role, so he could only leave in high spirits. Zhang Tinglan's main target this time was Fan Dongyang, and he didn't want to clash with the Japanese, so he let go of Takanosuke.

At this time, the Feng army had already controlled the entire mansion, and there were all two hundred people concentrated in the open space in the courtyard, and Fan Dongyang also stood opposite Zhang Tinglan honestly.

Zhang Tinglan looked at him and sneered: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Zhang Tinglan who raided the prince of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, and in the process of raiding them, I found that the Fan family and the Eight Banners were constantly in contact, and you also sent money to Zhang Xun." Do you also want to be a hero of the restoration? ”

"Sir, you misunderstood, the Fan family did have dealings with the prince of the Eight Banners, but you also know that we used to be imperial merchants, and we must have been in contact with each other, and we also sent money to Zhang Xun, but at that time, I really didn't know what he was going to do to restore the imperial system, and I ask you to be aware of it."

At this time, several Fengjun soldiers had already searched the secret room of Fan Dongyang's house and found some secret letters from it. Soon they were all sent to Zhang Tinglan.

Zhang Tinglan took it and looked at them one after another, with a ruthless look flashing in his eyes from time to time, there were letters exchanged between Fan Dongyang and the children of the Eight Banners, and there were several letters exchanged between them and the Japanese. In several of them, Fan Dongyang flattered the Japanese and expressed his loyalty.

And he also said that he was willing to use his own industry. Spy on all kinds of information for the Japanese. In particular, knowing the various movements of the Feng army, as well as the idea of controlling soybeans, there is no need for anything else, just seeing this, Zhang Tinglan has already moved to kill.

"Han Qing, take a look at it too. The Japanese really look up to us, it's not enough to send Japanese spies, but also to buy some scum, Fan Dongyang, you really have the legacy of your ancestors. You eight imperial merchants pointed to the betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, and they prospered, and now they are ready to sell the Republic of China to the Japanese? ”

Facing Zhang Tinglan's questioning, Fan Dongyang's face changed color, and he hurriedly said: "Master Jun, I and the Japanese are normal cooperation, but there are some conditions imposed on me by the Japanese, I have to prevaricate, I really have no other thoughts, the Fan family is just an ordinary businessman, in the troubled times, it is not easy to survive." I am willing to give two million to the ocean, I just ask you to give me a way to live, our Fan family is grateful! ”

Fan Dongyang has also fought a lot with the Beiyang Army, and knows that these people are extremely greedy for money, and in his opinion, the same is true for the Feng Army, as long as he takes out enough silver, he can get through the difficulties.

However, when he met Zhang Tinglan, he had miscalculated now, Zhang Tinglan waved his hand: "Fan Dongyang, you don't need to say it anymore, new hatred and old hatred, let's count it together, your Fan family is mixed up!" ”

Fan Dongyang saw that Zhang Tinglan's attitude was so tough, and a chill surged from the back of his head, and he suddenly fell to his knees: "The villain made a mistake, please let me go, the assets of the Fan family are all yours, and we have been operating in the customs for many years, and we have a huge network of contacts, these are also yours, you should be a dog, I am willing to be your eagle dog!" ”

"No one will raise a capricious vicious dog, so put away your set!"

Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and asked the soldiers to drag Fan Dongyang down, at this time, more things were found in the Fan Mansion one after another, how many years of the Fan family's big family, the accumulated things are indeed amazing, including business contacts, collusion between the powerful, and how they have cooperated with foreigners in recent decades, there are everything, countless.

With these things, as long as you find some randomly, it is enough to put the Fan family to death. In addition, during the search, they also found the nest book that the Fan family had treasured for a long time, that is, the certificate of their operation of the salt farm, with this thing, the salt farm controlled by the Fan family officially fell into the hands of Zhang Tinglan.

"Han Qing, I guess this thing is an important cultural relic, keep it and put it in the museum in the future!" Zhang Tinglan weighed the yellowed nest and smiled with joy.

Fengjun raided the Fan family, the news was like wings, quickly spread throughout the Beijing and Tianjin area, quickly caused an earthquake, the Fan family is the representative of the old-school salt merchants, they were arrested, and the whole body was moved, and the other salt merchants were all dead and sad, these people jumped out, looking for relationships everywhere, and at the same time wantonly scolded the Fengjun for their barbaric nature, demanding immediate release.

At the time when these people were criticizing the pen, Zhang Tinglan suddenly announced that the Feng army would officially take over half of the Changlu salt farm, and at the same time adopt a new salt policy, abolish the old salt introduction system, and change it to free trade, and anyone in the world, as long as he pays a deposit of 500,000 yuan, can go to the salt factory run by the Feng army to buy salt, and then transport and sell it at will.

The common people of the world have long been tortured by the salt government to death, and now when they hear the news, they immediately boil, everyone knows that the old salt government is full of evils, but the Beiyang government has not had the courage to reform, and the people can only bear huge pressure and eat dirty and unbearable high-priced salt.

Finally heard the news of the reform, and couldn't help but these people were not happy, and some powerful businessmen were also excited, salt has always been a profiteering industry, although it is free to buy and sell, the profit will definitely not be as high as it used to be, but this is also a sure business without losing money, so a large number of businessmen have run to Tianjin, how the Fan family has not cared about them.

500,000 is not much, but it is not too much, everyone has a lot of money in their pockets, anxiously waiting. At this time, Zhang Tinglan had taken over all the salt pans, and at the same time announced the official start of free sales, and the merchants who had been impatient for a long time were boiling.

Some merchants who had been preparing for a long time handed over 500,000 oceans to Fengjun, and then immediately began to order salt, and the amount ordered by powerful merchants was more than 10 million catties, the scene was unprecedentedly hot, and Zhang Tinglan's pockets also quickly bulged.
