The first thousand four hundred and forty first chapters at the end of the road
Chapter 1441: At the end of the road
It was also about making money, but Xu Jingke, who was staying in Chengdu at this time, didn't feel so comfortable.
I don’t know who made the effort to find out all the actions of the officials and businessmen who had made money for Liu Zhang before.
When Liu Zhang found out, he was naturally furious that day.
He didn't expect that his own family would dare to lie to him... Just looking at the astronomical figures on those bills made him breathless.
If all this money fell into his own pocket, why would he continue to increase taxes and suppress the people. As a result, the people are now complaining, and there are faint signs of rebellion.
The key is that his previous behavior of continuously increasing taxes has left large areas of land outside the city abandoned. The wealthy businessmen in the city can't control so much... He bought various fields at low prices, built manors, and recruited tenants, making the Chengdu area extremely high.
The farm property has plummeted - so that military pay is now a bit tight.
But it was impossible for Liu Zhang to disband the army... Now he relied on the few troops he had in hand to be wary of Cao Cao and Liu Bei who were very likely to arrive. If he didn't hold on to these troops, he would not even be able to sleep at ease.
All in all, the resentment accumulated from such a dead end led Liu Zhang to become furious and vowed to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and cut him into pieces - he even said harsh words that he would not kill even his own relatives this time.
My hands are soft.
When Xu Jing learned about this, he was naturally so frightened that he couldn't even eat.
But looking around, he saw that the people who could give him advice had already been assigned to him.
As expected, Xu Jing began to regret it.
But it was difficult to recover from the overflowing water. No matter how much Xu Jing regretted it, he could only grit his teeth and think of a solution.
Seeing that Liu Zhang's general cleaning was coming, Xu Jing, who was almost desperate, suddenly received an inexplicable letter.
——
"Sir, someone slipped a letter outside the door. The only thing written in the letter is that you should accept it. Look..."
"Letter to me?
Is there someone else who wants to make money with me?
Oops, I'm so annoyed...just throw it away..."
"Master, do you really not want to take a look?
This envelope looks extraordinary..."
"Um?
I'll take a look later..."
Hearing the concierge's mention, Xu Jing couldn't help but become slightly interested.
He called the concierge to come to him, and the concierge respectfully handed over the letter.
Sure enough, just like the concierge said, this envelope does not look like something that ordinary people can afford...
The key is that in addition to the fancy edging, the envelope also has a unique fragrance, which makes Xu Jing really dare not neglect it.
When I opened the envelope, the first sentence that caught my eye was:
"Master Xu has been in a dilemma recently and is in a bad situation."
Sensing the strong sense of ridicule in the letter, Xu Jingdang was about to tear up the letter to vent his anger, but fortunately he saw the next paragraph, which stopped his hand in mid-air.
"However, now Pang has a way to help Mr. Xu escape from trouble. If Mr. Xu is interested, please pay attention to the next letter, and in order to let Pang know what you mean, if you agree, tie the door in front of the door.
Put on the red rope, if you don’t mean to do it, don’t worry about it.”
"Finally, no matter what your intentions are, please burn this letter, otherwise, even Pang will not be willing to lend a helping hand to you."
Seeing the last paragraph, Xu Jing's heart skipped a beat. Who is Pang?
The answer is ready to come out. There is only one person named Pang who can be named in Yizhou, and that is Pang Xi.
But what Xu Jing didn't understand was why Pang Xi knew that he was in a bad situation now?
Why did Pang Xi plan to lend a helping hand to him again?
All kinds of doubts were intertwined, which made Xu Jing completely confused.
However... just like what was said in the letter, his situation was very bad. He didn't know how to fall asleep every night, and he became more and more irritable.
Now that someone is willing to lend a helping hand to him, this is already a life-saving straw. Even if he wants to be careful, the situation at the moment does not allow him to be so cautious - after all, in the final analysis, there will be no worse situation than now.
.
So Xu Jing took a deep breath and said to the concierge:
"Ahem...Um, are there any red strings at home?
Uh, you can go out and tie the red rope on the door frame later."
"Sir, what is this?"
"Oh, don't ask, just tie it on."
"Oh ok."
——
The night actually passed quickly, but just like the previous few days, Xu Jing still didn't fall asleep.
But compared to the despair before, this time, Xu Jing couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's situation.
Pang Xi wants to help him?
Will the other party ask for anything?
In fact, there is no need to think too much. The other party will definitely not be able to help him in vain, but Xu Jing is already satisfied. As long as he can save his life, he can make a comeback no matter what the situation is in the future.
Early the next morning, Xu Jing even got up earlier than the concierge, mainly because he heard sparse footsteps in front of the door, which made him nervous.
After hurriedly packing up his clothes, he quickly stood up and checked. Sure enough, there was another letter specifically addressed to him in the same place in front of the door.
He rushed to the door like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, picked up the letter, and hurried back to his room to open the letter.
The content written in the letter is very different from yesterday:
"As expected, Mr. Xu is a smart man, and Pang likes to cooperate with smart people the most."
"I generally know your situation. If I can't come to Chengdu in person right now, I can only ask a friend to handle the matter."
"I also know your appeal. You want to avoid Liu Zhang's investigation, right?"
"So let me tell you my request here. It's very simple. Pang helps you get through this inspection. But you know that the reason why you ended up like this is because of the part of Shu Brocade's industry you annexed. At least
We have no way to forge any more evidence in a short period of time, so the only way Pang can think of is for you to temporarily transfer these properties to Pang, and let Pang handle Liu Zhang's cross-examination on your behalf."
"Of course, Mr. Xu will not be treated badly here. Pang knows that these assets are the foundation of your foothold, so Pang plans to directly acquire all your properties. You set the price. As long as it is within a reasonable range, Pang will
I will definitely help you with all my strength.”
"Similarly, this time Tang will give you a day to think about it, and if you agree, tie a red rope on the door frame... Someone will come to confirm it the next day."
"Also, don't forget to burn the letters, so as not to leave any clues to others."
When Xin saw this, Xu Jing was actually numb.
He thought that the other party would want his assets... Although these were his treasures, they were not impossible to part with.
But Pang Xi now made a big move and wanted to acquire all his properties.
