Chapter 26 The dust is set, the wind and rain are coming
At night.
Zhuang Ming has returned to Qianlong Villa.
On this day, there was indeed some turmoil in Zhuang's trading company.
Under the arrangement of Song Tianyuan, the Song family in Xuancheng had saved up for half a year and launched an attack overnight, both overt and covert.
Even though I was well prepared, I felt a little overwhelmed.
However, at this moment, the outcome has been decided and the situation has been decided.
Zhuang Ming had already predicted all the offensives planned by Song Tianyuan and took over them one by one.
Although Zhuang's Trading Company also suffered losses, and would continue to cause some losses from today on, he still won in the end.
The Song family in Xuancheng collapsed and Song Tianyuan was dead. He returned to Qianlong Villa and personally settled the subsequent turmoil.
After this time, some potential threats that were secretly detrimental to Zhuang's trading company and hidden dangers in the dark also surfaced under Song Tianyuan's instigation.
Now that most of the changes have been eliminated, the remaining families have been kept in his mind and are no longer a concern.
After this, most of the hidden dangers have been eliminated, and the relationship between Zhuang's Trading Company and various companies in various cities should become closer.
From another perspective, the foundation has been further consolidated.
This time, we mobilized troops and mobilized a large number of people, which can be regarded as a considerable victory.
However, for him, the biggest victory was not the defeat of the Song family in Xuancheng, nor the solid foundation of the Sixteenth House in Huai'an, but the Hundred Gods Pot that he could easily buy with silver!
——
Huai'an Prefecture, Fengcheng.
Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.
"This Gu Dao vessel is almost mature."
Zhuang Ming looked at the hundreds of gods in the room, with a little eagerness deep in his eyes.
As long as this Hundred Gods Pot is used properly and is effective, it can be worth ten years of hard work in warming it up day and night.
However, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there are still three to two months before the breeding is complete.
However, Zhuang Ming is familiar with all kinds of classics, and there are many fragments of ancient books, many of which have side techniques.
He got a prescription early last year, which is a lost folk folk prescription that can promote the growth of poultry. After it was confirmed to be effective last year, he has spent 80,000 taels on building chicken coops in various cities in Huai'an to raise chickens and make huge profits.
.
This prescription is not very effective on animals, but it is equally effective on insects and the like.
In fact, it is not difficult for people in the Gu Dao to deduce such a prescription.
But in this case, it is unavoidable to say that it is overthrowing the seedlings and encouraging them to flourish.
For cultivators who control poisonous insects, poisonous insects are just sharp weapons in their hands. However, poisonous insects that grow by forcing the seedlings to grow have insufficient fire, lack of ferocity, and are not strong enough, just like the blade of a knife is not sharp enough, which is a big taboo.
But Zhuang Ming has no scruples in this regard. He just wants to raise a Gu insect to raise dragons and use it as a medicinal material, not to control the Gu insect and drive it for use.
"Sir, the medicine you ordered is on the way and will arrive in the evening." Mr. Bai came up and said.
"Okay." Zhuang Ming nodded. He built a large number of chicken coops and raised chickens, which made a lot of profits. It was because of the prescription that the chickens grew faster and could be raised earlier, so he also responded to this.
It is quite secretive. From the collection of medicinal materials to the preparation of the medicine, it was made in three places before being sent to the chicken coop and mixed into chicken food for feeding.
"In addition, the corpses of Song Tianyuan and his subordinates have been disposed of." Bai Lao presented some things, put them on the table, and said, "These are Song Tianyuan's things."
"Is this his receipt from the dark bank?" Zhuang Ming took the bottom piece of paper and chuckled.
"Exactly." Bai Lao said: "Before, I still thought that he should not carry tens of thousands of taels with him, so how could the dark village let him out? Now I finally understand."
"This guy thinks he can use the Jade God Flower to win over me and defraud me of a large sum of money." Zhuang Ming laughed and said, "If he sells it directly to the dark dealer, he can earn up to five hundred taels.
From now on, no matter how high my bid is, it will all belong to the dark banker... But he thinks he has me and can defraud me out of a lot of silver, so he cannot give all the money to the dark banker. Instead, he will make another deal with the dark banker.
This kind of transaction is that after a successful sale, he takes 80% of the proceeds and gives 20% to the dark banker. This time he was detained by the dark banker, so he only had to take out the receipt and give the dark banker 20% of the silver. At this point,
, I had expected it."
"By the way, Master." Bai Lao pointed to another object and said, "What is this?"
"this……"
Zhuang Ming reached out and took it, looking strange.
This is a jade order with a hole in the upper end and a colorful rope tied to it.
In the middle of the jade order, there is a Bagua carved in it, which is divided into yin and yang.
He paused for a moment and exhaled. Although he was a little surprised when he saw this token, considering that Song Tianyuan's city had traveled overseas and was appreciated, it was not a surprise to receive this token.
"The entry order for a mysterious sect overseas."
"Mysterious sect? Entry order?" Bai Lao was stunned for a moment.
"Don't worry. This sect issues such tokens every year. If not ten thousand, there are only eight thousand. Those who get this token are only registered disciples. It is not important at all."
"Is there such a sect?" Bai Lao asked in astonishment, "Is it so weird?"
"This sect is good at deduction, so it pays attention to understanding. The disciples they taught in the mountain sect must have been extraordinary and intelligent since childhood. However, there are also many wise and wise people in the outside world. Therefore, a hundred years ago, there were also
This is the teaching of recruiting wise men from the outside world and accepting them as disciples of the outer sect.”
Zhuang Ming put down the token and said: "If the named disciple can find the mountain gate according to the traces on the token, he can be regarded as an outer disciple. At that time, the secret will be given, and the best will be selected to enter the inner gate, and every year the person with the highest understanding will be selected.
The three of them are true disciples."
"Song Tianyuan was overseas and got this opportunity?" Bai Laowei was stunned.
"It should be like this." Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "He has a higher eye than the top and is extremely conceited. When he stepped out of the Dongsheng Dynasty and came into contact with the overseas world, he thought that the Dongsheng Dynasty was just a region, just a mere place.
The pond, and he is the dragon that walked out of the pond. Now that he has returned to the pond, he is just returning home in fine clothes, looking down at you and me, fish and shrimps."
Song Tianyuan was extremely arrogant and believed that he was above the world of Dongsheng Dynasty, so he looked down on everything. Even he, the richest man in the Sixteenth House of Huai'an, did not look down upon him.
Now it seems that Song Tianyuan must have known about the wider world and obtained this token.
The reason why he returned to the Dongsheng Dynasty must be that he felt that he was going to reach a higher level, so he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, not only to finally appreciate the style of his hometown, but also to meditate on the mystery of the token in his hometown.
Perhaps in Song Tianyuan's eyes at first, this game with Zhuang's Trading Company was just a casual move in his life, and it was not worth mentioning.
But he never thought that he was so conceited that his boat capsized in the "gutter" of the pond in his hometown and lost his life in it.
At this moment, Shuang Ling walked in with a soup and heard these words.
"Young Master praised him very much." Shuang Ling put down the soup, smiled with eyes like crescent moons, and said: "But no matter how resourceful he is, he was defeated by Young Master. He is a dragon in the pond, but Young Master is
A true dragon."
"The reason why Song Tianyuan was defeated by me is actually for many reasons. It is not that I am smarter than him." Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly and said: "In the past few months, facing this opponent, I have also been
He had trouble sleeping and eating, and it was not until yesterday, after he died, that he breathed a sigh of relief."
This time the Song family in Xuancheng is in trouble, Song Tianyuan has been planning this strategy for a long time.
When making the plan, Song Tianyuan, perhaps out of caution, also calculated it three or five times to make sure it was correct before finalizing the plan.
But he is different.
He tried his best to search for clues, and kept calculating all the clues he got, over and over again, for fear that he would miss something that would become a fatal link.
Just think about it over and over again, until you have filled up all the flaws that you can think of, and then you dare to make a real plan to deal with it.
The reason why Zhuang Ming has been able to defeat those old foxes in the Sixteenth House of Huai'an over the years is not that he is smarter than these people, but that he is more cautious and focused.
Shuang Ling and Bai Lao both believed that their young master had countless plans and unparalleled resourcefulness, and was far superior to Song Tianyuan.
But he didn't know that when Song Tianyuan was playing chess with the old master Song, Zhuang Ming was thinking about how to use the strategy.
When Song Tianyuan was drinking tea and cultivating his sentiments, he was also thinking about how to use tricks.
When Song Tianyuan was practicing riding, shooting and martial arts, he was also thinking about how to use tactics.
"Song Tianyuan can be considered a character, but he is too conceited and difficult to conquer."
Zhuang Ming sighed softly, poured a glass of wine, sprinkled it lightly on the token, and thought in his heart: "I don't know how much time and time you spent on planning and planning this vicious attack on my Zhuang's firm.
energy, but I must have spent more time and energy than you, thinking about what kind of strategies you would use, and even more thinking about how I should deal with your strategies."
"Actually, I may not be smarter than you, but compared to you, I still lack two sound legs, so I am not as versatile as you, but more focused than you, on conspiracy!"
"You are excellent at chess and tea. You are also proficient in riding and archery, and your swordsmanship is also superb."
"But I'm different. I'm disabled."
"That's why I can win."
With this thought in mind, he took another silk scarf and wiped the token clean, seemingly erasing the traces of Song Tianyuan.
In fact, he did consider conquering Song Tianyuan for his own use before, but this person was too ambitious and difficult to conquer.
As for letting the tiger return to the mountain, it is even more impossible.
Although the overall situation has been decided and the Song family is defeated, Song Tianyuan is indeed not a common type. He is ruthless and vicious, and when it comes to his shortcomings, he is only conceited.
If he is frustrated this time, defeated by himself, tempered, arrogant, and conceited, he will become even more gloomy. If he specializes in scheming, he will become very scary.
Even without the Song family in Xuancheng, Song Tianyuan, who specializes in scheming, will definitely become a serious problem.
So Zhuang Ming would rather break his promise than keep him.
Now it seems that with this Tai Chi seal, if Song Tianyuan does not die, he may indeed become a real thorn in his side.
Fortunately, now, everything has settled.
Song Tianyuan died after all.
It's just a legacy, but it's not small.
"That king with a different surname has already crossed the Huaihe River."
Bai Qing came to report and whispered: "We will enter Huai'an within three days."
Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Follow my previous instructions and make preparations first."
Having said this, he reached into his sleeves, rubbed the baby dragon's head, looked at the Hundred God Pot, and said: "Don't disturb me during these two days."
