Chapter 65
Listening to Manager Liu's words, Du Yuanzhen pondered for a while with a calm expression.
Du Yuanzhen is from the Du family in Tongling and was born in the Du family for many years. He has been a slave to the Du family since his ancestors. He is a good person.
The Du family started in the Yuan Dynasty and managed it for several generations. The financial resources were getting stronger and stronger, and its reputation and power in Guanzhong were even more huge.
Compared with this, Manager Qian is simply extremely poor.
Eight of the ten ticket companies in Guanzhong owned by the Du family, and the other two companies also owned many shares of the Du family.
At the government level, the Du family trained a large number of scholars for the imperial examinations for the imperial examinations. Many current officials in the capital have been or are still funded by the Du family.
Among the martial arts worlds in the martial arts world, the Du family supported many martial arts sects, including the Shaolin sect, the Huashan sect, the Hengshan sect, the Beggars' Sect, and Kongtong.
There are so many children in the Du family like him. After the clever ones attract attention in front of the master, those who are more capable will be appreciated by the master will be sent to be deacons and shopkeepers. Those who are ordinary in ability will be sent to the countryside to manage the farm.
Du Yuanzhen dragged his father's blessing and received the reward from the master's family to come to Shibalipu to manage the business of the ticket number.
He also had some opportunities. When he was a teenager, he invited his husband to study with his children for several years and learned some truths. Later, he went to Piaohao to practice for a few days. I wonder if it was due to luck, Piaohao's business was getting better day by day.
More than twenty years have passed, and Du Yuanzhen secretly used some tricks and accumulated a large family business. (Refer to the Lai Family in Dream of Red Mansions)
After all, the Du family has a great family and a great business, so it is impossible to really cover everything. There are too many people like Du Yuanzhen who are lying on the Du family to suck blood, and the Du family is lying on the court to suck blood.
Although salt and iron were all specialized in the state in all dynasties, now Wanli sent eunuchs to the mines to collect taxes and could not be collected, and they were beaten to death. In an environment where the tyrants from all over the country were naturally impossible to be honestly good people.
Just like selling contraband to the Mongols, the powerful people in Guanzhong naturally knew it tacitly.
"Tsk, strange, it's really strange. One is Wang Rui and the other is Feng Yuxiu. These two people seem to appear out of thin air.
Several caravans were attacked by bandits in half a year, and they could not find anyone at all. It was impossible to find out whether the words named Wang were true.
The person who asked the Beijing suburbs has not come back yet. Where did these two people come out? How could they have so much money?"
Du Yuanzhen was very moved when she remembered the scene of Wang Rui bringing four carriages high-purity silver to exchange for silver in the ticket number.
It's interesting to have an ordinary person with no background but has so much money.
There is a saying that virtue is not worthy of position, and it is actually very suitable to use it here. If the holder does not have the ability to protect them, it will naturally arouse the covetousness of others.
More than 40,000 taels of silver, this is not a small amount. Anyone who sees it will swallow a few times. For him, Du Yuanzhen, it is also a considerable asset.
Du Yuanzhen naturally had to test Wang Rui's ability to see if he had the ability to protect the money.
If Wang Rui cannot show his ability to possess these silver, then Du Yuanzhen naturally has to try his best to come up and take a few bites of fat meat.
And testing such a thing is so incapable of being able to do it yourself. If something happens, it is easy to get yourself into it.
Therefore, Du Yuanzhen, who was proficient in leveraging the power and throwing stones to ask for directions, learned that Wang Rui led people to recruit refugees on the official road, immediately chose the stone to throw stones to ask for directions, and sent people to Shangzhou overnight, secretly informing the disciples of the Beggar Gang branch.
Sure enough, the next day, the Beggars' Gang people came to Wang Rui and even had a conflict.
However, what Du Yuanzhen did not expect was that the clerk of Tongfu Inn actually took action.
"Master, the shopkeeper Tong of Tongfu Inn is the eldest daughter of the Tong family of the Longmen Escort Agency, or the wife of the head of the Hengshan Sect. I'm afraid I won't sit down and see that Wang Rui has been dealt with by the Beggars' Sect."
Through the information learned, Manager Liu analyzed for Du Yuanzhen:
"Although the Hengshan Sect has been in a state of internal conspiracy and self-killing, it is no longer enough to worry about it, but the Longmen Escort Agency has a lot of ways and has friendship with the cross-breeding bandits in various places. As long as the shopkeeper Tong is willing to stand up and give the Beggars' Sect a step forward, the Shangzhou Branch will not be too investigated in the end."
Du Yuanzhen naturally knew Tong Xiangyu. After all, Tongfu Inn has been open for the third year. He naturally knew the identity of the eldest lady of the Longmen Escort Agency.
The most mysterious thing about Tongfu Inn is not Miss Tong, who lives widowed here, but the man who is willing to be a runner-up in a small inn in a remote place. He is very skilled in martial arts and is definitely not an ordinary person, but outsiders do not know his origin except his name.
"Is this another strange man who is willing to live in this remote inn and be a servant? But now the servant is tired of it, so he takes out money to buy land and prepares to be a servant?"
Du Yuanzhen couldn't help but think so. After all, this is a world with great force. What kind of strange people are there in the martial arts world?
If he accidentally gets into this kind of existence, it is better to stop as soon as possible.
Manager Liu looked at Du Yuanzhen's expression and immediately understood his thoughts. His eyes turned and said:
"Master, in my opinion, this Wang surname is definitely not a strange person. Although he is good at skill, he is at the level of an ordinary martial arts man. He only relies on the sword in his hand to break the formation of the Beggar Gang disciples. Why don't we try him again?"
Du Yuanzhen thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"Okay, you can send someone to modify the news slightly and secretly notify Shangzhou branch that Chu Xiong and Lu Ming were arrested. You must make the Beggars' Gang anxious. Then I will see if Miss Tong will make this happen."
Manager Liu: "Yes."
—————
Wang Rui brought people back to the village, and the whole village suddenly began to be noisy.
Several women and children were taking care of their injuries, while Wang Rui arranged for the group of people who were left in the village and were not injured to take turns to take care of other injured people. The doctor was invited by Wang Rui to the village and taught them how to decoct medicine and take care of the injured.
The thirty or so refugees who were originally recruited this time ran away because they were afraid of running away. Only eight people did not run away and were brought back by Wang Rui.
Although this happened, the procedure that should be taken was still gone. Wang Rui asked Feng Yuxiu to organize them to boil water, clean and hygienic, change into new clothes, and asked them to prepare evening food instead of the women and children.
Wang Rui found someone to go to a nearby village to buy a few sheep and killed one for them to supplement nutrition when they were injured.
Under Wang Rui's organization, everyone was in order, everyone was arranged to do things, and the situation was under Wang Rui's control.
Finally at night, when everything was quiet, Wang Rui sat on the roof of the only tiled house in the village, staring at the deep starry sky, thinking about everything today in his mind.
