Chapter 183 Shanxi Merchants Meeting
Shanxi Xuanfu, on the widest street in the city, although the weather is very cold, there are horse-drawn carriages passing by from time to time.

Every carriage is very spacious. Although it is not luxurious, it is absolutely comfortable. In other words, these carriages are very solid.

It's a little strange that these carriages all went in the same direction, and they all stopped at the gate of the same house in the end.There is a large plaque on the door, with the words "Fan's Mansion" written on it.On both sides of the plaque, there are red lanterns hanging high on each side, and the word "Fan" is pasted on them.

At the gate of the mansion, there were two rows of servants standing all the time. When they saw a carriage approaching, they hurriedly greeted it, and soon brought the people out of the carriage into the mansion.

In the lobby of the second entrance courtyard, the door was closed, and there was a row of strong servants standing at the door.After seeing a middle-aged man wearing a mink fur coat approaching, a leading servant hurriedly shouted: "Master Wang is here!" Then he opened the door and let this Master Wang in.When the door was closing, I glanced into the lobby, and there were already seven people sitting there.

In the lobby, after the old master Wang entered, the seven people inside all stood up, exchanged brief greetings, and immediately found their respective seats to prepare, without procrastinating at all.

In the main seat is a middle-aged man with a rich face, but a shrewd and capable temperament.However, his expression was a bit serious at this time. After seeing everyone sitting down, he immediately said: "The New Year is coming soon, but I have to invite everyone here in a hurry. There is something wrong with the capital!"

Hearing this, the man on the left, that is, the old master Wang just now frowned, and immediately turned to look at him and asked: "Brother Fan, is it because Master Han was dismissed? This has been done before." understood."

The other six listened and nodded.If that's the case, they all know about it.

Brother Fan, that is, the person in the main seat, surnamed Fan, surnamed Yongdou, shook his head, and said with a serious face: "Master Han asked to resign on his own. Please come, it's a letter from Mr. Han."

Having said that, he pulled out a letter from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Master Wang, that is, Wang Dengku, and then stood there without returning to his seat and said to the others: "Master Cao is dead, and his head hangs on the Wumen, and..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the few people present all turned pale with shock.Mr. Cao is the censor of Zuodu, how can he be gone if he doesn't have it?

For them, Cao Yubian is more important to them than Han Yu.After all, it wasn't long before Han Yu was helped up to become the first assistant, and it was the result of Cao Yubian's activities.

If it was just that Han Yu resigned and stayed at home, they would not take it seriously. After all, in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, such things should not be too many.But if Cao Yubian was killed, he would never have a chance!

"Brother Fan, why did the situation in the court change so dramatically?" A skinny man couldn't sit still, and simply stood up and asked.

These eight families, because the Fan family has a wider relationship there, and even recognized a clan member, the Fan family has always been the head.Because of this, most of the affairs on the side of the court were handled by the Fan family on behalf of the eight families.Now that such a big thing has happened, of course they have to ask Fan Yongdou clearly.

Hearing his question, Fan Yongdou frowned and said: "Lord Han said in the letter that the Emperor's temperament has changed drastically due to the entry of the Dajin.

When the other seven people present heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.Unexpectedly, when Dajin entered the customs, it would bring such a bad thing.

Originally, they welcomed Dajin to enter the customs.After a battle, Dajin can grab more property.With a lot of money, they can make more money when they do business.Moreover, after Daikin has tasted the sweetness, there will be more demand for military supplies, which will also make their business scale larger.It was also for this reason that they all followed Fan Yongdou's suggestion and contributed a lot to the entry of Dajin this time.

Unexpectedly, luck and misfortune really depended on each other, and the emperor's temperament changed drastically, which caused their power in the court to be greatly damaged.This is usually slowly piled up with money, this time it is really a heavy loss!
At this time, Wang Dengyun had already read Han Yu's letter, handed it to the nearest Wang Dayu, and said with a wry smile: "Also, Mr. Cao's house was ransacked, and the Yongchang ticket office was also blocked by the way."

Hearing this, Di Tang who was next to him shook his head and said: "The money for the ticket office is a trivial matter, the eight of us just collected it together casually. But things in the court cannot be immediately effective with money! If there is no one who can speak in the court, it will be difficult for us to do business in the future."

When Huang Yunfa, the youngest, heard this, he immediately looked bitter. He glanced at the other seven people and said, "Is this deal a loss?"

"It's not a loss!" Fan Yongdou immediately denied: "Dai Jin entered the customs this time, and you should know what you will gain. The current plan, I think it is according to Master Han's words, each family first raises a sum of money, and immediately brings Go to the capital, let Mr. Han and the others do the work."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the reactions of the other seven people and said: "After this battle, we are not the only ones who are unlucky, Li Biao, the second assistant, and those censors, etc., are all the same. The capital will soon In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, a group of officials will definitely be punished. As long as we can take advantage of this opportunity to act well, we should be able to recover some of the situation."

Hearing this, the other seven people were silent, obviously calculating gains and losses in their hearts.

Suddenly, Liang Jiabao, who had been silent all this time, reminded: "Will there be any problems when we send to cooperate with Dajin? According to the news I got from the capital, it seems that the capital hates Dajin very much, and those who take refuge Daikin and those who help Daikin."

"Yes, I also got the news here, and now the capital is talking about it everywhere." Jin Liangyu nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Fan Yongdou waved his hands and said, "It's normal for them to want to hate. This time when Dajin enters the customs, most of them will suffer losses! Besides, the people we sent out are all confidantes, and they have already left the customs with Dajin. Can they bite us? Even if someone wants to frame us, it’s not like we’re all gone in court.”

Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded, among them, Jin Liangyu clapped his hands and said in a hateful voice: "Your Majesty, why did you kill Governor Yuan so quickly? Otherwise, if we just spread some news, he is the best." Target!"

Before anyone else could respond, Fan Yongdou also clapped his hands and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past, let's sum up what Mr. Han said, and Marshal Ma, we have to send some money and food, at least I want Marshal Ma to look stronger after he goes to the capital, so that he can compare with other King Qin troops!"
