"The money……"
Liu Yiyuan's heart was beating wildly, something his family had never seen before despite their wealth.
"mine."
The look in Zuo Menggeng's eyes was so dangerous that Liu Yiyuan's idea of ​​"taking half of the money when we met" instantly vanished into thin air.
"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Zuo Mengeng stared at him.
"If there's any trouble, it's you who brought it."
Liu Yiyuan looked around and understood.
Except for him, everyone here is from Zuofu, and Zuo Mengeng is really not afraid of leaking secrets.
A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.
Zuo Mansion was originally not high-end in Linqing. If it were not for Hou Xun's appreciation, Zuo Liangyu would not be qualified to stand with the Zhang family, Liu family, Geng family and other wealthy families.
But things are different now.
With such a large sum of money falling into the pocket, the Zuo family's strength has increased by an unknown amount.
Liu Yiyuan underestimated Zuo Mengeng.
"Brother, let me ask you, how is your Liu family doing now?"
Liu Yiyuan was stunned, wondering why he was talking about my family?
But he still told the truth.
"Don't you know, it's not good."
Not only is it not very good, it is actually very bad.
The Liu family was most prosperous when Liu Yiyuan's father Liu Zuo was alive.
Liu Zuo was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, which was a lucrative position. Even though he was very honest, the Liu family's wealth expanded rapidly during Liu Zuo's time, and they became powerful in the countryside.
Once Liu Zuo died, the Liu family had no backbone.
Liu Yiyuan is young and has no fame yet, so he can still get along well in the local area. But it is absolutely impossible to recreate the glory of the Liu family.
He also has an uncle named Liu Ji, who is younger than him and is currently studying.
Although Liu Yiyuan is usually willful and unruly, he also knows that the Liu family is in danger.
Especially this time when the three big guys, Hou Xun, Liu Zongzhou and Qian Qianyi, arrived, if Liu Zuo was still here, he would definitely chat and laugh with these big guys and be on equal footing.
As for him, a junior, although he represents the Liu family, he can only hang out with a group of descendants, and cannot even get in with the big bosses.
Liu Yiyuan didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly he was worried.
Zuo Mengeng knew that Liu Yiyuan was not willing to give in, so he attracted him.
"The world looks up to Shangshu Liu for the great reputation of the Liu family. But how can we, the descendants, just rely on our ancestors for their shadow? A man should make great contributions and make a career worthy of his ancestors."
Zuo Mengeng pointed to the boxes and said: "I want to use this money for big things. Brother, would you like to help me?"
Do big things?
What big thing to do?
Liu Yiyuan's scalp was numb, but Zuo Mengeng's words really spoke to his heart.
When others mention him, they will definitely say that he is the son of Liu Shangshu.
He really wanted to tell others that his name was Liu Yiyuan.
But he doesn't have the confidence because he has no achievements.
Instinct told him that Zuo Mengeng seemed to be doing something extremely dangerous.
It can be seen that the world today is still in turmoil.
They say heroes emerge from troubled times...
Liu Yiyuan cupped his fists and saluted with great solemnity.
"Brother Zuo's arrogance and ambition are admirable. From now on, Liu will follow him and look after him."
Zuo Mengeng was very happy to have gained a talent. He patted Liu Yiyuan on the shoulder and said carefully: "From now on, you should treat Wang Weiran of Puzhou like a snake and don't treat him with sincerity."
Liu Yiyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Zuo Mengeng was talking about this.
"Why is this? Wang Weiran is a queen from a famous family..."
Zuo Mengeng pointed north.
"These Shanxi businessmen are so greedy for money that they dare to do anything."
Liu Yiyuan understood immediately.
If this is the case, you really need to be careful.
Zuo Rong and others came back soon, dragging several corpses with them.
None of Feng Yuanwai and his men escaped, they were all silenced.
Zuo Mengeng told Zuo Gui: "Go to Zhuangzi and ask Lao Qintou and Zhang Yan to organize some reliable people to take all the money back and keep it properly."
Zuo Gui took the order and went.
Zuo Hua was not satisfied yet and said: "Master, Mr. Feng has a house on Zhuangzi. There may be some good things in it. Why don't we go and steal it?"
Zuo Mengeng smiled half-heartedly and asked, "You went and searched the place outside Feng's house. When the Jin Yiwei came and saw that there was nothing there, who do you think they would look for?"
Zuo Hua was stunned and scratched his head, knowing that he was stupid.
Zuo Mengeng knew what kind of virtue he had, so he didn't care and asked Zuo Rong and others to dispose of the corpses.
Lao Qintou, Zhang Yan came quickly and brought with him about twenty young men.
"The things in the box are very important, so you should be careful. If something unexpected happens, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Money and silk move people's hearts, so Zuo Mengeng has to be ruthless.
Those farmers had just received the grain he sent and had enough to eat for a few days. While they were grateful to the young master, they were very obedient.
Sure enough, no one opened the box to take a peek without permission, so he transported it back honestly and asked Zuo Gui and Zuo Dai to arrange it and hide it safely.
All that's left are the two suddenly extra children.
From the beginning to the end, the little boy always protected the little girl, firmly protecting her behind him, and timidly watching the people coming and going.
Zuo Hua is a heartless person.
"Master, how about..."
He started to draw the knife, but in the middle of drawing it, Zuo Rong kicked him.
"Get lost."
Very good, there is no need for Zuo Mengeng to take action.
"Children, what is your name and where is your home?"
Two children are quite troublesome and must be handled properly.
The little boy was extremely nervous when Zuo Hua drew the knife. After Zuo Hua was kicked away, he calmed down a little.
"My benefactor, my name is Lu Wazi, and she is my sister, her name is Lu Xiaomei."
Yes, basically all children from poor families have this name.
"Where are your parents?"
Tears flashed in the corners of Lu Wazi's eyes.
"My father and mother, who make tofu, went to the pier to deliver tofu that day and never came back. I prepared the meal and took my little sister to look for it in the evening. When we didn't find my father and mother, those people locked us up.
stand up."
Zuo Mengeng and Liu Yiyuan frowned, puzzled.
Who is it that actually attacks the poor people who make tofu?
