He narrowly dodged a flying arrow and lay down behind a stone with lingering fear.
Seeing this, Hao Zhao angrily shouted at Hao Dadao: "Dad, why are we hiding from him? Fight back!"
Hao Dadao glared at him, and then looked down the mountain through the gap between the stones. He saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe and wearing a feather fan and turban, smiling proudly and saying something to Hu Biao.
This person is the third in charge of Hujiapu, and he is also the person with the highest IQ in Hujiapu. This person has committed a serious crime. Why do you say that? Because of his name.
This person's original name was Fan Qing, and now his name is Fan Zhiqing.
Historically, the names of people throughout the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms over the past 300 years were almost all one-character names, with very few two-character names.
Why?
The problem lies with Wang Mang.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped political power. In order to consolidate his rule, he practiced superstition and restoration, and also implemented a series of so-called "New Deals", from the land system to the employment system, from currency to place names, everything was involved, and it also involved people's names. .
"Book of Han·Biography of Wang Mang" records: Wang Mang's eldest grandson is called Wang Zong. If he waits slowly until his grandfather Wang Mang dies and his father Wang Yu dies, this Wang Zong can become the emperor.
However, he was too impatient and couldn't wait any longer. So he got the emperor's clothes and hat. After wearing them, he had his portrait drawn and three copper seals engraved. He conspired with his uncle to seize power.
It's a pity that this person is not Zhu Di, his level is really limited, and he blew himself up before he even started to take action. Although he was his own grandson, he should not be lenient if something like this happened. Wang Zong committed suicide as soon as he didn't like it.
Wang Mang was furious. When a person dies, his "political power" must also be deprived. Otherwise, how can he convince the public? So Wang Mang issued an order: "The original name of the clan is Huizong. After making two names, it will be renamed Huizong."
If you don't think about this command, you won't be able to understand it.
"Made" refers to the law. The original name of Wang Zong was two characters, called "Wang Huizong", which was first changed to "Wang Zong" according to the law. Now that it is against the law, it has to be changed back and called the original "Wang Huizong".
Although the new dynasty established by Wang Mang passed away in a flash, this system was still used. Later, many people had only one character in their names. If someone had a double-syllable name, it usually broke the law and was forced to change it to a double-syllable name. .
Fan Zhiqing committed a serious crime in his early years. The specific crime is unknown, but his two-syllable name is rare. People who know him subconsciously feel that he is not easy to mess with, so he does not care about it and is rather complacent about it.
The reason why Hu Biao reused Fan Zhiqing was not only because of his IQ, but also because of his name. After all, people under his command know that such people are not easy to mess with and are more obedient.
"Brother, I think the disappearance of the second and fourth brothers is probably related to this Haojia Village." Fan Zhiqing said with a smile.
Hu Biao frowned and glanced sideways at him, thinking to himself, aren't you talking nonsense?
Hearing this, Hu Biao wished he could kill Fan Zhiqing now. If he could not hide it, his cousin's life and death would not be unknown. But he knew that now he was employing people. If he killed Fan Zhiqing without any reason, it would be easy to attract his subordinates. People are panicked.
So, Hu Biao followed his plan and asked questions as usual. He said: "The plan for now is to find a way to attack the top of the mountain. Does Zhiqing have a good plan to teach me?"
Fan Zhiqing rolled his eyes, he really had a way, so he said with a smile: "It's not difficult actually. We have brought the eagle claws for climbing. We just need to set a fire on the top of the mountain to drive away the villagers, and then take the opportunity to climb to the top.
.”
Hu Biao raised his eyebrows. He knew that this was a good way, but it was not the safest, because the villagers on the mountain were not simple at first glance, and they must have other defense mechanisms.
However, he still nodded and said: "In this case, you can lead the forward team."
Fan Zhiqing can use his brain, but it is impossible for him to charge into battle.
Fortunately, he had already responded and said with a smile: "Brother thinks highly of me. How can I be a forward? I think Captain Zhou is a good candidate. Who knows that Captain Zhou is as brave as an overlord?"
The overlord is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. It is a bit exaggerated to praise a person like this, but people of this era like to compare a brave man to an overlord. For example, the little overlord of Jiangdong below has the same meaning.
The Chief Zhou mentioned by Fan Zhiqing was one of the three chiefs under Hu Biao's rule. This man was indeed strong and powerful, but his brain was not very good and he was often used as a spearman by Fan Zhiqing.
Hu Biao looked at Captain Zhou who was eager to try, and knew that he had fallen into the trap again. This man couldn't help but praise him. Every time Fan Zhiqing praised him, he was definitely up to no good, but he could always charge into battle and win military exploits, so he was quite a character.
At this time, when Hu Biao saw that he could not take the opportunity to deal with Fan Zhiqing, he knew that his thinking was too simplistic and that he had to take a long-term approach to deal with Fan Zhiqing.
He said: "Then let Chief Zhou lead 20 people to be on standby at any time. You can lead the rest of the people to shoot rockets to cover them. You must ensure that they reach the top successfully and win it in one fell swoop."
Fan Zhiqing bowed to accept the order, and went to arrange a fire with a smile. The moment he turned his back to Hu Biao, his smile suddenly turned sinister, and he vaguely sensed a hint of murderous intent from Hu Biao, which made him regret it, but it was a pity that he did not draw his bow.
Back arrow.
He had been the third child under Hu Biao for three years, and had always been suppressed by the timid Hutong. Everyone knew that he was unwilling to accept trouble. In terms of ability and talent, he thought he was far superior to Hutong. Unfortunately, Hu Biao just couldn't.
It made him very frustrated to reuse him.
The reason why I was determined to delay the opportunity to save people this time was partly to seize power, and partly to test Hu Biao's reaction. Now it seems that no matter how hard I try, I will only be like that, so I'd better look for an opportunity to escape.
.
With this idea in mind, Fan Zhiqing was not so dedicated in doing things. He ordered a deputy and then watched the show in the back with a smile... He thought to himself, it would be best if Hu Biao died here, then the Hu family
The fort belongs to Fan Zhiqing alone.
Mountain.
When Hao Dadao saw someone collecting dead branches and leaves below, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted: "Water, go and bring all the water from the village."
The first and other people also saw the movement below and ran towards the village one after another.
There was a lot of commotion here, and Cai Yan, who was teaching Hao Niang and Aning how to read and write on the hillside, was naturally disturbed.
When they came to the village, they happened to see Hao Zhao and his men moving water tanks, and they found out the whole story after asking.
Cai Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Wei Cheng had not met anyone from Hujiabao, but then she became worried again.
"What if my husband meets them when he comes back..." Cai Yan's face was full of worry.
When Hao Zhao heard this, he frowned and realized the seriousness of the problem.
He hurriedly hugged Cai Yan and saluted, ran back to the lift platform, and informed Hao Dadao of Cai Yan's worries.
Hao Dadao also felt troubled when he heard this.
Just when everyone was helpless for Wei Cheng's safety...
···
"Why, Mr. Wei is here to have a cup of tea, right? Let me tell you if there is anything I can do for the little lady."
After Hua Qingyu finished handling her official duties, she sat down on the single sofa opposite Wei Cheng. She picked up a Hermès leather cigarette case from the table, took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, looking at Wei Cheng opposite with a smile.
.
Wei Cheng reached out and slapped her nose in protest against her smoking, but it was ineffective.
Wei Cheng took the bag on the side to the table and took out the two wooden boxes inside.
The wooden box was also sent by the Wei family, and the material should undoubtedly be golden nanmu. Hua Qingyu felt it was extraordinary at first sight, and she leaned forward, revealing a harmonious light on her chest.
Wei Cheng glanced sideways and picked up the tea cup to hide his embarrassment.
Hua Qingyu seemed unaware, her attention was focused on the wooden box. She put out the cigarette, picked up the wooden box and looked at it for a while, frowning and said: "What kind of wasteful thing, such good wood can't even be painted?"
Won't?"
As she spoke, she opened the box and saw the gold jewelry inside. She didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, upon closer inspection, something seemed more and more wrong. The expression on her face also changed again and again. Finally, she asked uncertainly: "This is
Purely hand-polished?”
Wei Cheng smiled and nodded, reorganized the language he had typed, and said: "A few days ago, I met an old craftsman who has been following ancient methods to make gold and silver jewelry. I think we should support him, so I
Come and ask Mr. Hua if you are interested in cooperating."
Hua Qingyu raised her eyes and looked at Wei Cheng. The beautiful Xing'er blinked and asked curiously: "Such a craftsman still needs your support?"
Wei Cheng said with a calm face: "Some people don't like to be related to politics. For example, I have always followed ancient medicine. Do you think I have applied for intangible cultural heritage?"
Hua Qingyu curled her lips, she was the one who asked Wei Cheng to apply for intangible cultural heritage, but unfortunately Wei Cheng refused.
She carefully picked up the step wave and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, how do you want to cooperate?"
Wei Cheng knew that she would definitely be moved, and quickly said: "I am responsible for recording the process of the master making jewelry. The finished product and video will be handed over to you for packaging and promotion. For the gold jewelry sold, I only need the cost price and 10% of the discount.
Just pay the processing fee, and any excess profit will be yours."
Hua Qingyu was startled at first, then looked at him in disbelief and said, "You are crazy. You really plan to work for nothing. Give me the pure profit, but you won't make a penny."
Wei Cheng secretly thought that I had made a lot of money. The cost was only a few glasses. The so-called processing fee was probably only a few meals. But on the surface, he nodded calmly and emphasized: "I
As I said, I just wanted to help him, and he proposed the 10% processing fee himself."
Hua Qingyu still found it unbelievable. She looked at the Bu Yao in her hand and sighed in wonder: "Who are the people in your circle? I can understand if you don't open a pharmaceutical factory. After all, Chinese medicine varies from person to person.
, it is not easy to pass the clinical examination. But this person can create such exquisite jewelry. If you go to any gold house and make millions a year, you can take this step to participate in exhibitions and win awards."
Wei Cheng chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said, "You can also take it to the exhibition. If you win an award, the honor will be yours."
"Really or not!?" Hua Qingyu was quite moved. She felt that the Bu Yao in her hand really had the possibility of winning an award. If she won the award, her company would also become popular. Maybe she could
Find opportunities to grow bigger and stronger.
Wei Cheng spread his hands and said, "Why are you lying to me? Believe it or not."
Hua Qingyu stared at him for a while, put away her walking stick, lit a cigarette again, blew out a smoke ring, and said: "Okay, you can take a few videos and come over to see... Do you want to send some professionals?"
A photographer for you?”
Wei Cheng was overjoyed. This was half the success. He shook his head and said, "There is no need for a photographer. If he really wants to be famous, he doesn't need me to match him. I will just take more angles. You can see later."
Edit it, we need to reshoot it."
The two chatted for a while about the details of the cooperation. Wei Cheng saw that it was getting late and he had to buy some things, so he stood up and left, "The video will be sent to your email next Saturday. You can take a look at it then."
Hua Qingyu glanced at the Patek Philippe on her wrist, "These are all easy to talk about. Dinner is about to be served. Why don't you stay and dine together?"
Wei Cheng shook his head and made an excuse at random.
"By the way, you can help me sell this set of gold jewelry. Don't sell the other set. You can give it to Tinker Bell for me."
Tinkerbell was the child of Hua Qingyu's brother. Hua Qingyu had asked Wei Cheng to buy a course of anti-fetal medicine for her sister-in-law to take. Calculating the time, the child should be almost one month old.
The identity of Hua Qingyu's eldest brother is not simple. There will definitely be a banquet for the guests when the child is one month old. I am not familiar with him and it is difficult to attend, but sending a generous gift can not only bring the relationship with Hua Qingyu closer, but also indirectly get to know him.
As a financier, why not?
Only then did Hua Qingyu notice another wooden box. When she was about to open it, Wei Cheng had already left.
Hua Qingyu wanted to give it away, but after opening the wooden box, she couldn't walk.
The most important thing is simplicity. Even though this set of children's clothing has a simple shape, people who know the art will know what's extraordinary about it at a glance.
When Hua Qingyu came back to her senses, Wei Cheng could no longer see the figure.
Looking at the necklace in her hand, Hua Qingyu couldn't put it down, but she couldn't help but murmur in her heart: "This Wei Cheng is really getting harder and harder to understand. I thought he came today to ask me to help him make peace with Ye Zi.
I didn’t expect... Wait, he must have really fallen in love with me... By the way, when did he grow his long hair, it looks pretty good... Bah, bah, bah, Hua Qingyu, you are shameless, my best friend and boyfriend.
They all miss me...but they have broken up!"
Wei Cheng, who walked out of the building, didn't know what happened upstairs. At this time, he called two merchants and confirmed the specific arrival time of the two batches of goods, just in case.
The stab-proof suit was okay, but the weapons were controlled items. The freight was not transported by normal express delivery. Wei Cheng would have to go to the bus station to pick up the goods. Calculating the time, he should be able to make it in time for Mr. Fang's birthday party in the evening.
At noon, I randomly found a Shaxian snack restaurant, had a set meal to quickly satisfy my hunger, and then went straight to the largest local grain and oil wholesale market.
In addition to doing business this time, Wei Cheng also wanted to do a lot of shopping. In addition to high-quality wine, there were also rice noodles, seasonings, etc. There were a lot of things to buy. He had already made a list, including preparing winter clothes for the villagers.
of cotton.
But he didn't know that while he was busy purchasing items, Haojiacun was facing a life-and-death challenge.
