Chang Wei and his second brother Chang Tong met and recounted the progress of the case, but Chang Tong's recent focus was on the new Suzhou prefect Chen Qichang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chang Tong's reason is very good: the person who benefited the most after his father's death was Chen Qichang, and Chen was a lackey of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

It was already evening after all this, and he returned to Changtong's mansion with Tang Shuxue, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a surprised voice: "Fearless brother, I heard that you have recovered, and I immediately rushed from Suzhou." ”

Looking up, this person was Chang Jieyuan's friend, Shen Kuang, the third young master of the Shen family in Zhouzhuang, a wealthy man in Jiangnan.

The ancestor of the Shen family is Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, who is known as "with huge assets and land all over the world". Before Shen Wansan, Zhouzhuang was just a village, and after Shen Wansan did business, Zhouzhuang became a famous town in the south of the Yangtze River. Folklore has it that Shen Wansan had a cornucopia to illustrate his wealth and how he made it.

Chang Wei greeted warmly: "Brother Shiqing, thank you for your concern." ”

Shen Kuang is five or six years older than Chang Wei, and the two are classmates, but Shen Kuang obviously got the inheritance of his ancestors' way of doing business, and his knowledge is mediocre, and he donated money to his family.

Shen Kuang took Chang Wei's hand and said, "I heard Brother Ziyuan say that you were poisoned by that little slut Mei Ji, and that slut died cleanly, it was really cheap for her." ”

Ziyuan is Chang Tong's word, Chang Wei shook his head and sighed: "The world is unpredictable!"

"This is a younger brother and sister, right?" Shen Kuang glanced at Tang Shuxue next to him, and said with a smile: "What a great beauty, my brother is so blessed." ”

Without waiting for Tang Shuxue to clarify, Chang Wei whispered: "Not yet, it shouldn't be able to run in the future." ”

The two of them squeezed their eyebrows and laughed, and when they saw Tang Shuxue slightly angry, Chang Wei introduced her to Shen Kuang.

Shen Kuang neither studied nor became an official, but did business for his family, Chang Wei asked how the business was, Shen Kuang said: "Recently, a batch of good leather ginseng has come from the north, and a lot of jewelry has come from the south, but these two money-making businesses are run by the eldest brother, and the second brother runs it, and it is not my turn." ”

Although Shen Kuang didn't elaborate, Chang Wei had already understood that the leather goods and ginseng from the north were obtained from Jiannu, and the jewelry from the south was from the Japanese Kou, and these were all smuggling transactions, and if they were caught, they would be killed, but how could there be anything that did not violate the law and discipline in these years? As long as the relationship is hard enough to live, besides, it is not run by Shen Kuang, Chang Wei does not want to have too many troubles.

Shen Kuang said: Wei Shao, what is the introduction of good deals?

Originally, he just asked casually, Chang Wei glanced at Tang Shuxue and said: "This girl is the fourth young lady of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, and her family's medicinal material business is also profitable, if the two of you cooperate, it will definitely be profitable!"

Shen Kuang immediately showed his true colors as a businessman, and talked to Tang Shuxue about the possibility of his cooperation.

Tang Shuxue is also a little moved, Tangmen is located in Shuzhong, and wants to develop outward but is restricted on all sides, to the east is the beggar gang, Wudang's territory, to the north there is Tianshi Dao, the Sword Alliance, and Huashan sniper. There is even Emei in Shuzhong, Qingcheng is blocking the way, and if you want to make your business bigger, you have to expand your sphere of influence, but because the poison and secret weapon of the Tang Sect is too powerful, several major sects regard it as a common enemy, and once there is a change, they will immediately have to deal with the Tang Sect together, so it is difficult to stretch.

Cooperation with the Shen family is different, the Shen family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, with hands and eyes, wide connections, great wealth, and countless industries, and the Shen family does not need to open a store to open up the relationship at all, only need to sell the medicinal materials in the Shen family's shop, and the quality of Tangmen medicinal materials can occupy the Jiangnan market almost effortlessly.

And while the Shen family is making money, they also have an extra way to make money, which is very beneficial to both families, but Tang Shuxue can't be the master, so she has to write back to ask for instructions from home.

Shen Kuang is well-connected and well-informed, knowing that the Tang Sect is a sect of the rivers and lakes, and proposes to ask Chang Wei to join as a guarantor, and he can directly get dividends without buying shares.

Chang Wei understood in his heart that Shen Kuang was not afraid of the identity of the Tangmen, but took the opportunity to win himself over, although his father Changqing, the prefect of Suzhou, died, but his mother's Huang family was a veteran gentleman in Suzhou.

In addition, his eldest brother Chang Kuan is the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, the second brother is often in charge of the six products of the Qing officials of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and the eldest sister is the wife of Qin Shizi, the contemporary King of Qin Su is dead, and it is only a matter of time before Zhu Cunji, the son of Qin, is crowned King of Qin. His brothers and sisters are all young and powerful figures, and Shen Kuang is definitely a good deal to marry the Chang family with dividends.

Chang Wei immediately agreed, he may not take a sum of money to heart, the friendship with Shen Kuang is the most important, if Shen Kuang takes over the rich Shen family in the future, the benefits will be unimaginable.

That night, Shen Kuang held a banquet in Qingyun Tower to congratulate Chang Wei on his recovery.

The pleasure of the boudoir is more than the thrush, the characters in the south of the Yangtze River are romantic, Chang Xie Yuan and Shen Kuang go to Ma Zhangtai from time to time, and the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is a place that often comes.

After drinking half of the wine, He Chong rushed over, and after sitting down, he said depressedly: According to the scars on the corpse, it is inferred that the murderer used the Luohan Boxing of the Shaolin Temple and the Qingsong swordsmanship of the Wudang School.

Shaolin Wudang these basic martial arts spread all over the world, and the average people in the rivers and lakes know a few tricks, and even the old men who teach martial arts in the city and the countryside will, which are similar to the crops, and it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to pursue it from this aspect.

As he spoke, He Chong took out a beaded flower the size of a soybean and a finger-long fur and said that he had found it at the scene.

Chang Wei glanced at it a few times and didn't find anything peculiar, but Shen Kuang's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "This Nanzhu and sable fur are goods from my family, and they have only been sold in Nanjing City, and they are not sold anywhere else." ”

Chang Wei immediately said: "Kuang Shao, look carefully, are you sure that it is only sold in Nanjing City?"

Shen Kuang said affirmatively: "There is absolutely no mistake, this workmanship and nitrate method are unique to the newly opened Maoyuan warehouse." ”

He Chong said: "Maoyuan, why didn't I know there was such a warehouse?"

"You must not know that Maoyuan was newly opened a month ago, and the owner has a northern accent and does not show up often. ”

Shen Kuang said: "By the way, Wei Shao, when I went to Feihua Street to eat 'bad guys' yesterday, I also saw Maoyuan's guys." ”

As soon as they heard this, Chang Wei and He Chong immediately got up and walked out.

Shen Kuang looked dazed and said, "Alas, I said, what are you doing here? The wine hasn't been drunk yet, and the girl hasn't played yet." ”

"Kuang Shao, tomorrow, I will definitely find the most beautiful girl in Nanjing City to accompany you. ”

As soon as he rushed back to the mansion and saw Chang Tong, Chang Wei immediately said: "Second brother, the enemy is in Nanjing City!"

He Chong said: "Two less, three less, let's order all the manpower and serve the Maoyuan warehouse!"

"Wait!" Chang Wei's eyes danced with a spark of wisdom, "I think, it's better to ...... like this"
