I will be the prince at the end of Ming Dynasty Chapter 391 Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it is right to raid the house and destroy the family!
Chapter 391 Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it is right to raid the house and destroy the family!
After hearing Li Zicheng's words, Niu Jinxing and Gu Junen's expressions were obviously a little unnatural.
The two of them retreated from the hall with their own evil intentions.
Looking at the backs of Niu Jinxing and Gu Junen, Li Zicheng frowned.
The influence of Shanxi merchants is really great!
I had just heard the news, and two of the think tanks around me began to plead for them.
I don’t know how much they charged!
But Li Zicheng wouldn't ask any more questions. There was no anti-corruption and anti-corruption agenda among the robbers. After all, when he was attacking cities and seizing strongholds, he could basically commit murder, set fire, and rob property.
Not to mention this, I just collected some money.
Niu Jinxing left the main hall and quickly came to a ticket office.
The shopkeeper among the ticket numbers recognized Niu Jinxing at a glance.
"Lord Xiangguo! What gust of wind brought you here!"
The shopkeeper said to Niu Jinxing in front of him with a smile on his face.
Niu Jinxing's expression was not very good at this time. He looked at the shopkeeper in front of him coldly and said: "Go quickly and call your big shopkeeper out!"
Hearing Niu Jinxing's unkind tone and expression, the ticket manager's expression calmed down a little.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment!"
The shopkeeper quickly said to Niu Jinxing in front of him.
At this time, Niu Jinxing casually sat down in the seat next to him.
"Today, I must meet the boss of your family! Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk!"
"Okay, Mr. Xiangguo!"
The shopkeeper in front of him realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly winked at the waiter beside him.
The waiter immediately understood and quickly left the store.
At this time, the shopkeeper had a smile on his face and said to Niu Jinxing in front of him: "Master Xiangguo, it will take some time for our shopkeeper to come over. If you have anything, you can tell me first. Maybe I can help you solve it.
What? That’s right!”
Niu Jinxing looked at the shopkeeper in front of him expressionlessly.
"You can't make the decision in this matter!"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
Niu Venus sat in her seat and said nothing.
Soon, the big shopkeeper hurried over.
"Lord Xiangguo!"
With respect in his eyes, Wang Denku saluted Niu Jinxing in front of him.
At this time, Niu Jinxing raised his eyes and glanced at the shopkeeper beside him.
Wang Dengku understood and waved to the shopkeeper on the side.
The shopkeeper quickly turned around and left, leaving only Wang Denku and Niu Jinxing in the back hall.
At this time, Niu Jinxing took his time and asked Wang Denku in front of him with cold eyes: "I heard that you provided gunpowder to the Manchus?"
Wang Denku was shocked when he heard Niu Jinxing's words.
This kind of thing is top secret, how did Niu Jinxing know???
"without……"
Wang Dengku was about to retort when Niu Jinxing calmly said to Wang Dengku in front of him: "The person who broke the news holds key evidence in his hands, and King Chuang already knows about it!"
After hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Wang Denku's expression changed for a while. He smiled bitterly and said to Niu Jinxing in front of him: "Master Xiangguo, we are not actually providing gunpowder to the Manchus.
Mainly Fan Yongdou, he needs a lot of gunpowder, you are a businessman! You know, as long as the profit is enough, we..."
"hehe!"
Niu Jinxing looked at Wang Denku in front of him with a sneer in his eyes.
"Who doesn't know that you, the eight Shanxi merchants, are all in the same boat! Who are you kidding when you say this? Just put the problem on Fan Yongdou??? You don't have a store in Beijing??"
After hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Wang Dengku's expression changed for a while.
And at this time.
"You'd better tell me the truth! Before I came, King Chuang already said that Shanxi merchants are connected with the Qing Dynasty. This is a big crime! They should confiscate their homes and exterminate them!"
Niu Jinxing smiled slightly and took a deep look at Wang Denku in front of him.
Wang Denku's expression suddenly changed.
"Sir, what should the common people do??"
"what to do??"
Niu Jinxing rubbed his fingers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked calmly at Wang Denku in front of him.
"If it was in the past, you ordinary businessmen were just doing business, and no one would care where you sold your things.
But it’s different now. Your involvement in arms is no longer an ordinary matter. This is not what businessmen should do!”
Niu Jinxing took a deep look at Wang Dengku in front of him.
"Don't worry, two hundred thousand taels of silver will be delivered to your house soon!"
Wang Dengku looked at Niu Jinxing's movements and immediately understood. He quickly said to Niu Jinxing in front of him.
Hearing Wang Denku's words, Niu Jinxing suddenly showed a satisfied expression on his face. Isn't that why he came here this time???
If it wasn't for money, it would be impossible for Niu Jinxing to deal with these businessmen.
"This is not enough!"
Niu Jinxing smiled slightly, looked at Wang Denku in front of him and said.
Wang Denku was stunned for a moment, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Then you still want to..."
"Shanxi merchants, since they are Shanxi merchants, why should they seek refuge with the Manchus? Isn't it good to make good contributions to their hometown? The Manchus are Manchus after all! If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different!"
Niu Jinxing took a deep look at Wang Dengku in front of him.
"However, our eight Shanxi merchant families have properties in various places, especially in the Jiangnan region. If we openly join King Chuang, then these properties..."
Wang Denku looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him with a wry smile on his face.
"Don't worry! There is no need to announce anything, and this kind of announcement has no meaning."
Niu Jinxing smiled slightly.
"We want Zhangjiakou!"
Although Zhangjiakou is indeed under the control of the Manchus on the surface, at present, there are not many Manchu garrison troops in Zhangjiakou. The main ones are the private soldiers of the eight Shanxi merchant families stationed here.
Wang Dengku's expression changed after hearing Niu Jinxing's words.
He looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Master Xiangguo, Zhangjiakou is too close to the capital. If you really capture Zhangjiakou, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will never give up. By then, Zhangjiakou will definitely become a battlefield.
We, the eight Shanxi merchants, don’t want to..."
Niu Jinxing looked at Wang Denku in front of him with a calm expression.
"You don't think that selling gunpowder to the Qing Dynasty can be solved easily, do you? As long as you pay a little money, there is no need to pay any other price??
You Shanxi merchants also have a lot of assets in the Chuangwang territory, right? If your collusion with the Qing court is exposed, who do you think will dare to speak for you?
Also, will the Ming court in the Jiangnan region also attack your Shanxi merchants’ shops???"
