Chapter 61 The He Family Conversation

In the He family mansion, He Songtao stood respectfully behind a young man, his body bent slightly and lowered his noble head. The young man in front of him was naturally He Songtao's elder brother He Songyue.

What kind of legendary character is He Songyue? Everyone in the world has heard of the great reputation of the eldest son of the He family, but there are only a handful who have met He Songyue. When doing business, He Songyue just ordered the shopkeepers of various industries around him to wait outside the He Mansion. Naturally, there will be servants who will deliver the operation tricks to the shopkeepers with gifts. When they meet with foreign bosses who are not from He family, they are always separated by a screen, so there are very few people who have seen He Songyue in the world.

However, there are many legends about He Songyue. There are rumors in the martial arts world. When He Songyue was six years old, the He family experienced a great disaster. At that time, the previous head of the He family had passed away. The contemporary head of the family was in trouble. He Songyue was in the middle and mobilized funds from various places. The legal gold and silver exchange ratio of the Han and Tang dynasties was different. However, due to the different developments of each city, the exchange was also different in actual implementation. The Jiangnan region was rich, with extensive silver circulation and little gold circulation, so one tael of gold could be exchanged for fifteen taels.

Silver, one tael of gold in Yizhou area can only be exchanged for ten taels. According to the Han and Tang dynasties, one tael of gold can only be exchanged for eight taels of silver. At that time, He Songyue sold some antiques in his family and only collected gold. Then he borrowed some gold to transport it to Jiangnan area for exchange and exchanged it into silver, and then pulled it back to the Jingji area and converted it into gold. After going back and forth, after deducting the cost of manpower transportation, millions of taels of silver were also added out of thin air. Combined with the funds mobilized from various places, the He family finally helped tide over the difficulties.

Although He Songyue and He Songtao's father, the contemporary head of the He family, was good at doing business, it was far less flexible than He Songyue. At that time, not many people could think of this method, and there was not so much money to think of. It was often not worth the cost after transporting it. He Songyue became famous in a battle. You must know that He Songyue was only six years old at that time. How deep and unpredictable accumulation was needed to reach such a terrifying height.

In addition, He Songyue himself is low-key and has a weak temperament. Even if he likes to make friends with talented heroes, Confucian scholars and wealthy businessmen, he is not very friendly with others and does not cater to him. Compared with the arrogant and domineering Young Master He Er, it is a very different place, so everyone in the world calls Young Master He and Young Master He Er.

Two young people stood side by side, but in the middle was an old farmer with a gurban-sized shoes. The identity of the person who could sit in front of them as the eldest son of the He family and the second son of the He family was about to emerge. Naturally, he was the contemporary head of the He family, He Jinglun, the biological father of the He family, He Jinglun, the eldest son of the He family and the second son of the He family. He Jinglun worked hard in the He family in previous years, but after He Songyue and Guan, he rarely interfered in family affairs. He was obsessed with the farming of growing flowers and plants, so he was dressed up by an old farmer with gurban-sized shoes all year round.

"Second, I know everything you said just now. It's harmless. Those so-called gang leaders just give them some money. Those people don't have to give them any pensions to their subordinates. All the money is put into their own bags. The so-called buying of people's hearts is just giving some small money. The big one falls into their own bags. If you give them some business, you will be very happy. In the end, all the money goes to gambling houses, brothels, and restaurants. Aren't these all the properties of our He family? In the end, the money returns to our own bags. It's just that the government is a little troublesome. After a county magistrate dies, it's not so easy to explain." He Jinglun tasted the flower tea on the table. The flower tea was brewed by the flowers planted by himself, and the fragrance is scented.

He Songyue stood aside, his lips as thin as rice paper were opened and closed, and he slowly said, "That's easy to solve. The county magistrate was killed by the kid who used a knife. This is something that everyone can see. However, if the court really found out the cause of his death, our He family would not be able to escape. Bribery of the imperial court's official position is not a minor crime. Even if you find someone to push the jar, you must do some tricks in this regard."

He Jinglun said: "Well. Let the boss do this. Do it cleanly and neatly. Don't leave any clues and be noticed by those who are interested. Now is the critical period for the He family to become independent. Nothing can happen. I feel at ease when you do things, but it is inevitable that you will say a few more words."

He Songyue took the order and retreated. Seeing that there was nothing he had done about him, He Songtao told He Jinglun: "Father, if nothing is wrong, the child will also retreat." He Jinglun said: "Taoer, wait, I have something to say to you for my father."

He Songtao stopped and still looked down. He Jinglun said, "Doesn't you feel wronged when you let you do these domineering and dirty things?" He Songtao shook his head and said, "Don't say that, father, the eldest brother is extremely smart, has a heart, and has unpredictable ideas. It is appropriate to let him take charge of the overall situation. The child has no complaints. Besides, being a young man is also what he really yearns for. It is really a headache to worry about the big things at home. Let's leave these things to the eldest brother."

He Jinglun said, "Thank you for being so sensible. I only have you two children. Your mother has nothing to do after giving birth to you. You have to take care of your property. Just take it to your elder brother and help you take care of it. When the family is old, there will always be someone to do some dirty and tiring work. You brothers and two of you should support each other and rely on each other. Although your elder brother is smart, he is not kind, unlike a head of a family or a businessman, he is more like a strategist and a wise man. Instead, you are versatile and domineering in dealing with people. Although you are domineering and arrogant, you also have the style of everyone, which is better than your elder brother. I am going to send your elder brother to Beijing to become an official, which is also something I have been preparing for over the years. When you become the head of this family, you two are both officials and businessmen, and you will definitely be able to support each other and help the He family go a long way."

He Songtao was a little surprised. Over the years, he had seen and admired everything that his elder brother had done for this family. If He Songyue had not done enough to make the He family suffer many times, the disasters faced by the He family would have been enough to seriously damage the He family's vitality. This is also one of the reasons why He Songtao was willing to give up the position of the head of the He family and did not compete with He Songyue. Although he treated outsiders like a grass, he was still very harmonious with his own family. Today, He Jinglun's words were tantamount to killing a donkey, and He Songyue gave up his efforts for more than ten years to his younger brother. He asked He Jinglun, "Then, do you know this?"

He Jinglun said: "I haven't told him yet, but I'll tell him what I'll tell you later. But your elder brother's mind can probably think of what I think of. By the way, what's the use of the person you brought back? In the past, you brought a beautiful woman, but today I was a little surprised."

He Songtao replied truthfully: "The man has been imprisoned in the dungeon of the western suburbs. I just used him as bait to catch a big fish. When the child was traveling, he passed through Jiangning County City, where the power of my He family was still very weak. Everything originated from Jiangning County City being controlled by a small gang called the Dragon and Tiger Gang. I checked that the leader and deputy gang leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang did not have much talent except for being in the streets with people. The momentum they have today is based on their gang leader's wife, so I deliberately teased their gang leader's wife in Jiangning County City, intending to eliminate the Dragon and Tiger Gang and help my He family enter Jiangning County City."

"It's just that I'm alone, with a weak power, and a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and cannot fight with the Dragon and Tiger Gang head-on. I was just planning to test the depth of the Dragon and Tiger Gang's water. Unexpectedly, by chance, I caught their deputy leader. The Dragon and Tiger Gang's deputy leader was brothers and sisters. I believed that he would definitely come to save him, so I thought of the strategy of leading them all to Tai'an City to annihilate them in one fell swoop. It was best to be able to cooperate, but the things that the Dragon and Tiger Gang did in the past few years were to eradicate the local gangs one by one. It seemed that I was not very willing to share the benefits with others."

He Jinglun asked: "Did you ever talked about cooperation with the people from the Dragon and Tiger Gang in detail?"

He Songtao shook his head: "No."

He Jinglun said: "Forget it, since things have developed like this, let's fight to block the water and soil. But you have to remember that we are businessmen, not gangs, so it's better to discuss everything with others in detail. In business, businessmen want everyone to make money, so that more and more money will be. I have seen too many people who want to take money to their own side when they see a little profit. Such people are called short-sighted. Only those who can suffer losses can earn more."

"Yes, father. I understand." He Songtao replied respectfully. He Jinglun seemed a little tired, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Well, it's okay, you go down first. Take a rest for your father and tell the servants not to quarrel with me, be gentle when passing by." He Songtao answered yes and then left He Jinglun's room.

In a dilapidated temple outside Tai'an City, Along and the Dragon and Tiger Gang were staying here, and a bonfire was raised. Some hay was laid beside the bonfire, and a person covered in blood was lying on it. Two Dragon and Tiger Gang members were taking care of it. The two wiped the blood stains on the injured person's body, and they wanted to pull out the iron hooks on the injured person's body, but Along said not to act without action. The iron hook hooked the injured person's joints, and no one knew medical skills. If he injured his meridians or bones without action, it would probably cause more serious consequences. He told everyone to wait until Yun Zangfeng arrived.

The two of them wiped the injured person clean and found that it was not Xiaohu, but another brother missing from the Dragon and Tiger Gang in the pursuit battle. Feng Zhi stayed aside and sighed. She had long expected that this would be the case. During the battle in Tai'an City, she kept hiding and observing. The scenes of He Songtao blocking the black and thin old man fell in her eyes. Everything went too smoothly, forcing him to think that the person in the prison car was not the Xiaohu they wanted to save.

After Yun Zangfeng killed the fat county magistrate with a knife, he came a little late, but finally followed the steps of the large army and rushed to the ruined temple. Ah Long told Yun Zangfeng one by one about the injured and their discoveries. Yun Zangfeng cursed first, and then said, "That's okay. Xiaohu is a brother, and the little brothers of the Longhu Gang are also brothers. Everyone needs to save everyone." Feng Zhi nodded and sighed and said, "Brother Yun is saying that, but now we are shocking the snake. I'm afraid that it will cost more than a hundred times more to save Xiaohu than today."

Along looked at the Dragon and Tiger Gang members who had lost more than a dozen people, and couldn't help but wipe their tears. Those who were missing could never come back, and the rest of the people were injured, which made Along feel a little distressed. These people were all brothers he brought up, and he felt distressed if he didn't have any one. Yun Zangfeng didn't care about rest, so he helped the injured pull out the iron hook in the joints, and then bandaged the wounds for the brothers.
