"He? He Nan? What's he doing here?" Cai Meng touched his stubble. This was his habit - touching his chin while thinking.
Wang Ziming also heard what the people in Cai's family said, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Brother Cai, then I will resign first..."
Cai Meng laughed strangely: "Are you afraid that he will know that it was you who told the secret?"
Wang Ziming immediately shut up, acquiescing that his thoughts were exposed by Cai Meng.
"The back door is on the north side, you can do whatever you want." Cai Meng didn't want Wang Ziming to be exposed so early. After all, as long as He Nan didn't see Wang Ziming here, he might be able to use this person to ambush him.
After hearing this, Wang Ziming felt as if he had been pardoned and ran towards the back door, while Cai Meng followed the servants to the front door to "welcome the guests".
When Cai Meng saw He Nan, He Nan was playing in the snow outside the gate of Cai Mansion! This was the first meeting between the two of them, and Cai Meng didn't know what kind of person he was.
Because his son told him his complete impression of He Nan. Judging from the fact that he broke his son's wrist bone as soon as he made a move and held banquets every night in the past few days, this man was good at martial arts and was ruthless in his attacks.
Hot, but now that I see him, he is much younger than I thought.
"Executive member Cai." He Nan saw Cai Meng approaching with great strides, and guessed from his demeanor that this person was Cai Meng. "Young master... are you okay?"
Cai Meng snorted from his nostrils and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I am still at home recovering from my injuries, so it is not convenient to see guests."
Different from the wealthy people in people's common impression, and different from his mighty name, Cai Meng is not only not "fierce", but also very cunning and capricious. To put it nicely, he is a person who puts interests first. He
In order to get Cai Huan's support, he established a new ancestor. Although it was unreasonable and humiliating to the family in the eyes of ordinary people, he got tangible benefits.
Therefore, there is no conflict between him attacking He Taiqing, who openly provoked him, and him not immediately taking action against He Nan.
He used He Taiqing to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, which could scare all those who were not powerful enough to make them consider whether they were qualified to challenge the Cai family; but he did not take action against He Nan because he still couldn't figure it out.
What kind of energy is behind He Nan?
It is said that the thief Cao Li Shitong and He Nan have a good relationship. Li Shitong's rapid rise from the county seat to the position of the county thief Cao is all because of the people behind He Nan, and this boy is said to have come from the capital city.
Where is the capital? The place where a plaque fell and killed three officials.
Cai Meng knew that he could dominate the land far away from the sky, but he was far behind in the capital, so he might as well observe further.
"Cai Yuanwai was joking...I came here today just to make peace with you." He Nan cupped his hand. "Although Mr. Ling was at fault first, after all, I acted a little too harshly, so I want to compensate you.
No, I hope you can show your respect and let this article... be revealed like this."
"Just expose it like this?" Cai Meng sneered twice and started to pose: "How do I remember that you invited guests to dinner every day half a month ago, and all you found were guys who were not at odds with me? And those guys who ate bears?
You are so brave that you yelled at the dinner table for me to go find him and give him a try?"
"Hey... Mr. Cai, this is all a misunderstanding. A drunken gaffe, a drunken gaffe." He Nan said angrily, "But how did you know about this? I heard that you and He Taiqing had a conversation a few days ago.
Brother...have you ever had a little friction?"
Just when He Taiqing touched his chin and sneered, considering whether to expose Wang Ziming's matter to divert trouble, he heard a "pop" in his ears, and Wang Ziming was lying on all fours in front of him.
Cai Meng was still wondering what the hell was going on when he heard a deafening voice coming from his side: "I caught one from the back door!"
"Who the hell are you?" Cai Meng was shocked. This person came out from behind him. Judging from what he said, doesn't it mean that this person walked around his house?
The servants on the left and right sides were also frightened by Wei Kui and hurriedly protected the master of the house.
"Sorry, sorry, it's too far to go around from the outside." Wei Kui was actually pretty damn polite.
However, Cai Meng's thoughts were immediately pulled away by He Nan, who asked in a rather playful tone: "We were just discussing how you knew about this...is it self-explanatory now?
"
At this time, Wang Ziming also jumped up and looked around, not knowing who to look at.
"I was just discussing some business matters with Shopkeeper Wang. Does the presence of Shopkeeper Wang at my house mean that Shopkeeper Wang is related to this matter?" Cai Meng kicked the ball back to He Nan.
He Nan sneered, and changed from his previous attitude of blindly seeking peace: "That's not what I meant...I mean, originally it was Shopkeeper Wang who told me to join forces to create some trouble for you, but now
He suddenly rebelled - I don’t know if this was a masterstroke arranged by you, Mr. Cai? Or did Shopkeeper Wang switch sides at the last minute?"
Of course, this matter was not arranged by Cai Meng. He originally sent two smarter guys at home to eavesdrop every night, but on the night when Wang Ziming and He Taiqing had a falling out at the wine table, Cai Meng contacted Wang Ziming and told Wang Ziming
Successfully brought together the same front.
But at this time, Cai Meng certainly wouldn't give an accurate answer, so he spit on the ground: "Don't mention these useless things to me - if you really want to beg for mercy, then cut off your hands and feet and give it to me."
My son apologizes, if you are afraid of pain - then let's play slowly."
Ever since Wei Gui showed up, Cai Meng had calmly maintained an absolutely safe distance from the other party to prevent the two from making a surprise attack.
"...Okay, then let's just ride on the donkey and read the songbook - we'll see." He Nan himself didn't really come to seek peace. The purpose of knocking on the door of this ghost today was to inquire about the situation, and to deal with Cai
After saying the harsh words, He Nan glared at Wang Ziming again with his glasses: "Shopkeeper Wang, I have taken note of this grudge. Please go home early and don't walk at night."
If the first sentence is still aggressive, then the latter sentence is a naked threat.
Cai Meng yawned twice and stared at the two leaving figures: "I won't send it off."
Although he couldn't guess what medicine He Nan was selling here today, it was definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, Wang Ziming was put in a sack on his way home that night. In the following days, Wang Ziming's pawn shop was harassed by some unknown people every day, either throwing excrement or insulting him. In short, the money was not paid.
But if you want to study this matter carefully - the person who set up the sack and the person who harassed him is not necessarily He Nan.
But the victim has always been Wang Ziming.
Finally, a few days later, Wang Ziming approached Cai Meng again, and Cai Meng was very aggressive, lowering the purchase price of Wang Ziming by 30%, and the future profit margin was also reduced to 19 cents.
Wang Ziming was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. If he agreed to Cai Meng's condition, he would be at a loss. But if he didn't agree - he would have to find a tall building and jump off. "Okay." Finally, Wang Ziming gritted his teeth and agreed.
When it comes to his own interests, Cai Meng can be said to act very quickly. Here he signed the house deed with Wang Ziming, and at the same time he went to the treasury of Wanbao Pawnshop to get gold and silver silkworm clothes - in previous years
The gifts prepared for Cai Huan should have left for the capital long ago. In order to please his grandfather, Cai Meng's biggest headache every year is to collect all kinds of treasures. How to get the treasures is not a problem. Cai Meng has experience in taking advantage of others.
, the question is where to find it.
This year's New Year's gift has been delayed for half a month. If we send it to the capital immediately, if we hurry up, we can still make it before the end of February.
The escort team on Cai Meng's side was busy loading boxes of gold and silver property onto the carriage. In order to show off to Cai Meng, Wang Ziming paid his own money to hire an escort to help with the escort.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, if any people got up particularly early, they would see a line of cross-carriages passing through the main street, starting from the center of the city and exiting at the south gate.
The first two cars and the last two cars are square carriages, and the seats are all from the Cai family, including Lei Ming, the guardian martial artist of the Cai family, Cai Zheng, the old housekeeper of the Cai family, and other servants of the Cai family. As for Wang Ziming's clerk and
The external escorts had to work hard outside, either driving or sitting on the bed of the truck.
Because it was a lot late this year, in order not to be blamed by Cai Huan, Cai Meng specially prepared double gifts, and to be on the safe side, he also sent his capable general Lei Ming to escort him.
Lei Ming is a strong man in his forties. He is stern and unsmiling, but he really has two brushes in his hands. He is a master of Thunder Palm. Before he retired from the world, he was a second-rate master.
The Cai family's place was lively, and He Nan's place was equally deserted. A group of nearly twenty people were following him on the way to the capital, with the main staff consisting of He Taiqing's men.
Ever since Brother He was picked on by Cai Meng, although he was lying at home, he really had no ambition to become a prostitute. He took a deep breath and wanted to fight to the death with the man named Cai. This time He Nan mainly wanted to borrow money from him.
He Taiqing sent out more than ten people in one breath. Although these people could not achieve much success, they were enough to hunt for fish and shrimps with Cai Mansion's servant Dingyu.
It wasn't until they passed through the center of a dense forest that He Nan and others appeared and surrounded the Cai family's car. In fact, their fast horses and light cavalry could have caught up with the Cai family's car long ago, but considering that they had taken the main road before, they were far away from the Cai family's car.
The distance between the county and the city is not far away. If anyone from the Cai family escapes, they will go back and report the news, so they chose to take action here.
"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on... I don't need to say more, right?" He Nan shouted loudly as the leader rode. Of course, given his character, he would definitely not shout
So old-fashioned.
"He Nan, what do you mean?" Someone from the Cai Mansion recognized He Nan and told Cai Zheng and Lei Ming that Cai Zheng was an old man over fifty. Although he had the highest status in name, he was really in trouble.
The situation has to be solved by thunder.
"Isn't this obvious?" He Nan tightened the reins of the horse and circled in place, the horse's hooves stamping randomly stirred up countless smoke and dust.
Lei Ming frowned, quietly retreated into the car and ordered a servant to go to the back of the car so that Cai Zheng could return immediately, and then got out again to delay time: "You have to think carefully, if you really do this, you will completely break up with the Cai family.
.”
"Stop talking nonsense, do you believe what you say?" He Nan chuckled softly, and then shouted: "Today I am only looking for trouble with the Cai family, and it has nothing to do with other people. If I still resist, I will stay here."
