There is a village called Chenguanli fifteen miles southwest of Luoyang. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. At the east end of the village, there is a large mansion covering an area of more than ten acres, with a wall of one and six feet high. There are more than ten in the house.
A vicious dog has dozens of ward guards. Although there has never been any official visits and exits in the mansion, almost all the village knows that this is a large warehouse, which stores at least tens of thousands of stones of grain. There is no pop-up window
q
At noon, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared on the official road outside the village. They arrived at lightning and quickly surrounded the large warehouse. More than a dozen evil dogs roared out and died in an instant by a rain of arrows. The soldiers
After smashing the door, a guard on the periphery saw that the situation was critical, he turned over and ran quickly into the city for half an hour. A carriage was parked in front of Dugu's house. Yao Ji Mixing's owner Yao Huan
The short and fat body almost rolled down from the carriage, ran into the gate, and shouted in a crying voice: "I ask to see the head of the family!"
In the room, Dugu Zhen was sitting at the table and watching. At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. The butler said, "Master, Yao Huan is asking for a meeting. It seems that something big happened?"
Dugu Zhen was stunned for a moment. Even if something big happened, he should go find a tool and what should he do?
He thought about it and probably was a big thing that the weapon could not solve, so he said, "Let him come in!"
After a moment, Yao Huan rolled in and crawled in panic: "Master, something big happened!"
"Don't be so anxious, Yao didn't fall down." Dugu Zhen said a little dissatisfied.
Yao Huan calmed down and then said anxiously: "Master, I just got the news that our grain warehouse in Chenguanli was occupied by the army, with 150,000 stones of grain in it."
"Why?"
Dugu's face sank and said, "One of my Dugu family did not steal, two did not rob, why should he, Yang Yuanqing, occupy my granary?"
"But Master, that's not the Dugu family's granary, that's the granary of Yao Ji Rice Store."
Yao Huan lowered his head in fear, "I promised him yesterday that Yao Ji rice shop only has 50,000 stones of grain reserved. If he deceives the government, he will be willing to be severely punished."
Dugu Zhen frowned, it was a bit difficult to deal with. If he intervened, it would be equivalent to admitting that Yao Ji Mixing was the Dugu family's industry. Although everyone knew some things in his heart, they just couldn't say them out. Once they were told, they wouldn't be able to say them out.
Be careful to pretend to be confused.
But if the Dugu family ignored it, Yang Yuanqing could unscrupulously deal with Yao Ji Mixing. When encountering chaos in the capital, Yao Ji Mixing would probably be in trouble and would be in trouble. He would be a business deal.
Just as Dugu Zhen was thinking and silent, the butler's nervous voice came from outside the door, "Master, Yang Yuanqing is here, please see Master!"
"Ah!"
Dugu Zhen was shocked. Yang Yuanqing was in a position. What did he do? But his surprise was only a moment, and he quickly calmed down. He had to admire Yang Yuanqing's courage. He finally kicked Yao Ji Mi Xing away and faced the negotiation with him.
.
"Please go to the expensive room!"
He glanced at Yao Huan with a panic on his face and said slowly: "Go back! Wait in Miku, Fengdu City. If you have any problems, I will send you to notify you."
"Yes! Then I'm going back."
Yao Huan did not dare to meet Yang Yuanqing, so he turned around and left in a hurry. Dugu Zhen then got up, changed into a wide robe, and walked towards the guest room without any hesitation.
The expensive guest room is very close. As soon as I walked to the door, Dugu Zhen saw a very tall young man, who was admiring the picture of a thousand-mile horse hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Although he had heard of Daqi for a long time, this was the first time Dugu Zhen had face to face with Yang Yuanqing. Once he met him, he was Princess Leping's birthday party. He and the Turks competed with him and saw him from afar. More than three years have passed in a flash.
"How could General Yang have time to come to my husband's house?"
Dugu Zhen walked into the room with a smile. When Yang Yuanqing turned around, it was the first time he saw Dugu Zhen. Dugu Zhen was not tall, but his face was pretty. Although he was over fifty years old, he was well maintained and looked only forty years old.
Beginning in the early years.
"Is it the head of the Dugu family?"
"I am Dugu Zhen, General Yang, this is our first time meeting!"
Yang Yuanqing bowed and said, "It turns out that he is Senior Dugu, Yuanqing is polite."
"General Yang is so polite, please sit down!"
Dugu Zhen asked Yang Yuanqing to sit down, and a maid brought two bowls of freshly fried tea. Dugu Zhen picked up the tea bowl, sucked it gently, and smiled and said, "I want to thank General Yang, I have been drinking butter paste juice.
It was only after tea began to spread in the grassland last year that I started trying to drink tea, and I couldn’t do it without it.”
Yang Yuanqing smiled, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and praised: "This water is good!"
"This water is of course good. This is Qingyuquan in Mangshan. Every Yaowu, there will be a special family going to Mangshan to get water."
"Yes, this water is clear and sweet. When I was young, I lived in Chang'an Wubenfang. The water we drank at home was the water at the source of the Wuben River, which was slightly similar to this water. Drinking this tea made me feel like I was back in my youth.
era."
"I heard that General Yang was in poverty when he was young and even hunted for his family. Only when he was in adversity could he become a talent. I will take General Yang as an example to warn the young children of the Dugu family not to be greedy for wealth, and to learn from General Yang to serve the country in a young age.
Playing with things is a loss of ambition.”
Although both of them are hostile in their hearts, they have identities with each other and are well concealed, just like two friends who have known each other for many years. The simple words are filled with each other's understanding.
Even Dugu Zhen had an unreal feeling. Yang Yuanqing was so knowledgeable and reasonable. How could he kill Yuan Shangying as soon as he met? He was not as fierce and vicious as the legendary one. At least he did not understand it.
arrive.
But the tacit understanding between them still didn't last long, and they finally got to the point.
"General Yang came to Dugu Mansion for Yao Ji Mixing!"
Dugu Zhen went straight to the topic and broke the tacit understanding that had just formed between them. He was also very frank. He said this to admit that Yao Ji Mixing was related to the Dugu family.
Yang Yuanqing nodded and said frankly: "I don't hide it from the head of the family. This time I went to Beijing to shoulder the most responsibility of the saint's explanation, which is of great importance. I advise the Dugu family not to make the misjudgment of Renshou for four years again and to encounter the sternness of the saint again.
Strike.”
"Are you threatening me? General Yang!" Dugu Zhen said coldly.
"The head of the family should know that I am not a threat. Even the Yuan family, who hates me deeply, was silent at this time. I don't believe that the head of the Dugu family would not have thought of it."
Dugu Zhen was silent for a moment, and he finally sighed, admitting that Yang Yuanqing was not an exaggeration.
Yang Yuanqing smiled again and said, "Senior Dugu is smart and should understand that I am a talented person with sincerity. If I want to convict the Dugu family, it can be said that it is easy. Will the Dugu family leader believe what I said?"
Dugu Zhen was stunned. This time he did not understand what Yang Yuanqing meant, "General Yang, can you be more honest and make it clear?"
Yang Yuanqing put a paper map of Luoyang in front of him and said, "I have identified five granaries on the map. It is the reserve grain of Yao Ji Rice Xing and Zhang Shengji in Luoyang. There are a total of 500,000 stones of grain. Now, the capital city has 700 pieces of rice.
, but there is no rice to sell. The people in the capital are full of grievances, and there is no rice supply to the refugees, and they are on the verge of riots. However, the reserves of Yao Ji Rice and Zhang Shengji control the lifeline of the entire capital. If I arrest Yao in full
Record Mi Xing and Zhang Sheng record Mi Xing, and at the same time, he initiated a report to the Holy One, accusing the two Mi Xings of taking advantage of the Northern Tour of the Holy One, and plotting against the misconduct and trying to provoke a riot in the capital. What will happen in the end if the Dugu family head will?"
Dugu Zhen had already seen sweat on his forehead. He understood what Yang Yuanqing meant. If he wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the Dugu family, it would be easy. If he was a little more cruel, he could even trigger riots in the capital and chaos in the refugees, and finally put the blame to the two families.
He acted, "scheming was a tyrant and provoked riots in the capital." This crime was too serious and the Dugu family could not afford it.
Dugu Zhen suddenly realized that the Dugu family controlled the food in the capital in a very bad way and was too easy to be used.
"General Yang won't really do this!"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "So I came with sincerity. I hope to turn thousands of swords into jade and silk with the Dugu family. I also took the order to do it for the four years of Renshou. It was not my true heart, my revenge.
It’s just He Ruobi, and it has nothing to do with any other entry.”
Yang Yuanqing knew that he had formed an indissoluble bond with the Yuan family, and he did not want the Dugu family and the Yuan family to join forces to deal with him. Reconciliation with the Dugu family will do nothing to him.
He said sincerely: "I want to advise the Dugu family leader again. The Holy Holy has wanted to touch the Dugu family's heart for a long time. All he lacks is an excuse, so he acquiesced to the Dugu family to control the food in the capital, and wait for the Dugu family to put the rope on its own
Neck, to be honest, the Dugu family is actually digging their own graves. Be careful, head of the family!"
Dugu Zhen's sweat had already wet his back. He suddenly turned over and knelt down at Yang Yuanqing, kowtowed three times, and said gratefully: "By General Yang's words, the Dugu family was able to escape the disaster, from now on
The feud between the Dugu family and General Yang was written off, and I am willing to turn thousands of swords into jade with General Yang."
Yang Yuanqing suddenly felt a feeling in his heart. He had been fighting with the people for a long time, but he could reconcile with the enemy by chance. This feeling of turning thousands of swords into jade silk is indeed very sweet.
Of course, he reconciled with the Dugu family not to taste this taste.
Yang Yuanqing left, and Dugu Zhen immediately ordered: "Self-order Dugu Qi, Yao Huan and Zhang Shenghou come to see me quickly!"
Soon, Dugu Qi, who was in charge of the Dugu family's grain business, appeared together in Dugu Zhen's room.
Dugu Zhen glanced at them and said slowly: "From now on, Yao Ji Rice Store and Zhang Sheng Ji Rice Store opened up the supply of grain, take out all the reserved grains, and 200 yuan of rice, and each purchase is limited to five dou of rice. In addition, wait for the food crisis in Beijing.
After the quellation, Yao Ji rice shop resold it to the Yuan family, and Yao Huan went to Jiangnan to switch to the tea business."
Dugu Zhen’s decision was that the three people in the room were shocked. Dugu Qi stuttered and asked: “Head of the family, what’s going on?”
"Nothing happened, this is my order as the head of the family!"
He looked at Dugu Qi again, "Also, you have to remember, don't provoke Yang Yuanqing, otherwise I will deal with you with clan rules!"
