Fight the Giants Chapter 821

Chapter 821 Upsurge and fall

The news that Mu Yan was in danger in his army quickly reached Huo Xi's ears.

She secretly called Xunwu and Zhenliu and others.

He ordered: "Fifth Manager, please immediately send someone to check the Jun family's property in Yunnan, as well as the current inventory and shipment status of all shops, as well as the merchants we are cooperating with. Find out in detail, I will be useful."

"yes."

“The Sixth Steward went to contact the shopkeeper of Guangfeng Water in the southwest and asked them to prepare enough goods.”

“Yes, ma'am.”

Then he asked Gen Qi, "Eldest Master, in Brown's jade mine, which other family has stocks in it?"

Gen Qi replied: "Reporting to my wife, now only the eldest son, the Jun family and the Wushi family hold shares in it. The eldest son holds four shares, and the Jun family and the Wushi chieftain's house each hold three shares."

Wushi Tusi Mansion?

The Jun family acted based on Mu Zhan's eyes. If Mu Zhan wanted to sell, the Jun family would not give a second thought. Is it just that Wu Shi will listen to him?

Huo Xi pondered for a moment, "If the eldest son wants to sell the mine, will Wu Shi let go?"

Gen Qi nodded: "Actually, Wushi snatched that jade mine from someone else. He was afraid of causing others to retaliate, so he reluctantly transferred it to the eldest son. It was said to be a dowry for the eldest lady, but in fact it was all run by the eldest son's manpower. . Earlier, the prince asked us to encourage the eldest son to sell the jade mine, and now the work is half done, but we can't agree on the price, and the other party's price is too high."

“I wonder if you are the one who wants to buy it from the eldest young master?”

"I don't know. We act cautiously. The prince's properties in Yunnan are all bearing other people's names, and there are others who are responsible for them. Even if we check the Yamen, we can't find the prince. Moreover, the name attached has a background, and we don't dare to provoke it easily. .Madam, don't worry.”

"That's good." Huo Xi nodded, "Should you continue talking, hold the other person aside first and wait for my instructions."

"yes."

Two days later, the status of all Jun's properties in the southwest was sent to Huo Xi.

Jian Jun also did a lot of business with the tribes of Xifan, and he wanted to send a lot of grain, salt, cloth and other items to trade there before the year. I had an idea instantly.

"Mobilize manpower from Zhuangzi to intercept Jun's goods sent to Xifan halfway. No matter what method is used, they must not be able to deliver on time."

It is the season of heavy snowfall in Xifan now, and they are waiting for food, salt, cloth and other supplies to survive. If the Jun family fails to deliver the goods in time, the tribes of Xifan will become angry and demand a large amount of liquidated damages from the Jun family.

Moreover, at this time, the large number of horses, cattle and sheep that Xifan planned to trade with the Jun family not only could not be sold, but also consumed a large amount of food. If they stayed for one more day, they would have to compete with the living people for food.

At this time, the white snow is covered by the west side, and the cat winter at home is missing the food. As long as she operates it properly, not only can the Jun family delay delivery and pay a large sum of money for breach of contract, she can also intercept the goods that Xifan was supposed to trade to the Jun family at a low price.

She had no shortage of grain, salt, and cloth, so she sold them to Xifan, leaving Jun's goods to rot on the road.

He ordered: "Let Guangfeng Shuixin Branch prepare enough goods and be on standby at any time."

"yes."

Huo Xi made repeated deployments here. Mu Yan kept stumbling over him. Various situations often arise on the road. Fortunately, they are prepared and resolve them easily.

Coming out of Maguan, Mu Yan received a letter secretly sent by Jun Ruoxu.

After reading it, the master and the servants couldn't help but feel happy.

"What's going on with this young master? His grandparents and aunt conspired to make the prince die or become disabled, and he's holding back? Did he send me a secret letter and tell the truth?"

What did the young master think? How strange.

"Sir, what do you mean, Master Jun? Why can't I understand something? Is he playing hard to get, deliberately trying to show his favor? Or does he have other agendas?" Mu Yan stared at the letter in his hand without saying a word.

"Sir, do you think this Young Master Jun has been imprisoned by us? Or has his father's death stimulated him? Why can't people understand what he did? And he wrote a letter? Aren't you afraid that we will leave him behind? evidence?"

Li Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Where is Master Jun's handwriting here?"

“Ah, isn't this his handwriting?”

Kan'er took it over and took a look, hey, it's really not the case. "Is this man trying to be smart, or is he trying to fool our prince?"

Mu Yan was silent for a while.

"He doesn't have the guts to lie to me yet. This is leaving a way out for himself. Besides, what this letter says about Jiao Zan is probably true."

Even the secret guards were unable to find out the relationship between Jiao Zan and the Jun family. Only people within the Jun family such as Jun Ruoxu could know such secrets.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Zan's mother was Mrs. Jun's concubine.

According to Jun Ruoxu's letter, Jiao Zan's mother refused to contact the Jun family until her death because she was sent away for marriage by her biological father. It was Mr. Jun who saw that the Jiao Zan brothers and sisters were living in difficulty, so he helped him by giving him money and things, and also funded his education. Later, he sent him to the army and helped him find a position.

"It's no wonder that Mr. Jun is equivalent to Jiao Zan's reborn parent. It makes sense if he obeys the Jun family's orders."

Mu Yan nodded, "Now he relies on Mu Zhan, rising one after another. He has already been tied to Mu Zhan's boat."

As for how Jiao Zan dealt with... the information found by the secret guards, Jiao Zan has performed well in the army in recent years, led troops to win several battles, and has a good reputation in the army. Mu Yan hesitated.

"Even if he has made meritorious deeds, it is true that he harmed the young master. If he is not punished, we will still think that we are afraid of him. If the eldest master's people see that the master has softened and use more drastic methods, we will be able to cope with it. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

“Your Majesty, Kan Er is right, Jiao Zan has to deal with it.”

Mu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Notify Fan Yang that I would like to transfer Jiao Zan to Kunming City and promote him to the right commanding officer. Let him help train new soldiers."

“Ah, young master, why did you get promoted to his official position?” Kan Er was puzzled.

Mu Yan glanced at him and said, "If you don't understand, you're not allowed to have dinner."

“Huh?” He scratched his head and looked at Li Yi.

It took Li a moment to figure it out, "Is the young master promoted openly and secretly? He was promoted to an official, but he was not allowed to lead the troops?"

The troops garrisoned in Kunming City, unless the war is very fierce, have to guard Kunming City, the base camp of Yunnan Province, as their top priority and will not send troops to participate in the war.

If you don't participate in the war, you won't have the chance to make meritorious service. If you don't have the chance to make meritorious service, you won't have the chance to get promoted and make a fortune. Master, are you giving him a job? Resigned from his post?

"Ah, young master, is that what you mean? Then why not just put him somewhere? Why put him in Kunming City to enjoy the blessings?"

"If you want to kill him, let him go crazy first. If he can keep his heart and serve the people and the army wholeheartedly, I can't let him go. After all, he has made many military exploits over the years and is a talented person. But if he After being corrupted in Kunming City, it will be much easier to correct his mistakes and punish him again."

Li Yi agreed very much, "It's the young master who has the advantage. If he is dealt with suddenly, it will also cause dissatisfaction among the generals in the army. After all, nothing else happened on the martial arts stage that day. Everyone saw the young master. He was defeated. He was transferred and promoted, and everyone just regarded him as a young master who loves talents."

Kan Er looked at Mu Yan with stars in his eyes. Sure enough, the young master is still smarter than him. "Then I ask Kunming City to keep an eye on him?"
