Chapter 245 He Er is on top!

Yingtian Gu family, Gu Tianyang has been ill at home and has not gone to the yamen these days.

Six or seven days have passed since the Liuhe incident. Unlike everyone imagined, the Gu family did not respond to this matter immediately, but chose to observe silently.

Dongmen Pier became busy overnight. Countless ships gathered at the pier here. The ships entered and left the port. Although they were crowded, they were not messy and everything was in order.

In the first few days, many people complained that the East Gate was inconvenient, mainly because the official road from Yingtian was too circling and the journey was relatively long.

But soon this complaint became smaller, because the officers and soldiers of the two battalions of people occupying the East Gate Wharf showed their magical powers and provided various help to merchants and goods with inconvenient travel. Many people had previously worried that these soldiers would be difficult to deal with, but they surprised everyone.

Anyone enters and leaves the East Gate Wharf, and any cargo enters and leaves the Wharf. All the wharf costs are the same as those of the River Valley Wharf. As long as you follow the rules, there will be no danger. Moreover, the tens of thousands of Nanfu Army are nearby, guarding the East Gate Wharf in the middle, making it as solid as a source of money. Even those thieves and thieves dare not move in this area!

With a sigh, Gu Tianyang's expression in the backyard of the Gu family was extremely hard to see.

Gu Shengjiang and Gu Shenghai, the bosses of the Gu family, were both arrogant and did not dare to show up. The current situation was too uncomfortable for the Gu family. The loss was enough to lose a river valley wharf. The key was that the Gu family needed to have an attitude towards this matter. Otherwise, where was the prestige of the Gu family as the first family in Jiangnan?

If the Gu family endured this matter so much, all forces in Jiangnan would understand that the Gu family was just a silver-like gun head. Once that was the case, the Gu family would be finished.

"What's wrong? I'm mute, are you not talking anymore?" Gu Tianyang said in a deep voice.

Gu Shengjiang said: "Father, the fourth brother is responsible for the matter in Liuhe now. I think the fourth brother should have a certain plan in his mind!"

Gu Shenghai frowned, he wished he could curse his mother. Gu Shengjiang had been in Liuhe for so many years, and Gu Shenghai is now in charge of Liuhe's affairs in name, but no one listened to him. Gu Shengjiang was doing bad things behind his back, and Gu Shenghai was completely unable to control the situation!

The current situation is a test for everyone. If it is handled well, the situation in Liuhe can be stable. If it is not handled well and the old man loses face, there will definitely be no good results.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Shenghai said: "Father, if you want to deal with the matter of Liuhe, you must deal with the matter of your own servant first!

He San, who is in charge of Liuhe, is very bold and does not take the interests of the Gu family at all. This time, such a big thing happened, and he didn't even come back to talk to me. What are we still raising such a slave?

Father, I have asked someone to check it out. He Lianggong has been busy buying land these days. He bought thousands of acres of land in the river valley. The Yangzhou merchants sold him thousands of acres of land at the east gate.

In the current situation, this slave cares about his own wealth. He is just a servant in charge. How could he have so much land on the river valley wharf?

Thousands of acres are said to be just a drop in the bucket. Father, look at this..."

Gu Shengjiang, who was standing beside him, said, "Second, what are you talking nonsense? The lands are all from our family, and He San is just a steward. Let me tell you that the fourth son, He San's position was determined by his father himself. You have not made any achievements in Liuhe Cun, but the first thing you think of cultivating your own confidants is that your intention is too hasty, and your intention is sinister, right?"

Gu Shenghai laughed and said, "Brother, it's not surprising that the emperor and the ministers are the same. Since my father asked me to take charge of Liuhe, I will definitely be responsible for the matter of Liuhe to the end, but the manager of Liuhe will not listen to my greetings, that's definitely not possible!"

"Father, now that things have come to this point, we cannot move the more than 10,000 troops of the Southern Army. The only thing we can do is reconcile!

Liuhe is too small, and the 30,000 troops in the Southern Prefecture Army cannot support it. According to the information I have, Liuhe is in the end and only five thousand people need to provide indirect supply. These five thousand people are the cavalry battalion under Cheng Hu.

We can provide them with food and salary from the side, which doesn’t cost much money…”

"The fourth brother, that's enough! No matter how much wealth our Gu family has, they can't bear such trouble. Do you know how much food and salary you need for 5,000 cavalry? It takes tens of thousands of taels of silver a month! Do you think so much silver is blown by the strong wind?" Gu Shengjiang said angrily.

Gu Shenghai said coldly: "Now that people have occupied the dock, we will rob the money if we don't give it to others. If this is the stalemate, how can our Gu family have the face?

Do you think I don’t know about the tens of thousands of silver? But the money of our Gu family is so delicious? If you get the money, you have to agree to the Gu family’s conditions, and the Gu family’s status as the first in Jiangnan must be defended.

Those so-called emerging forces, such as the nouveau riche like the Ruan family, will be suppressed. Zhan Tianqi's life is not easy. He used Nie Yong to show our Jiangnan powers. However, the eldest brother was too arrogant and did not take other people's dignified second-rank officials seriously. The result was today's passiveness.

I think the current situation is the time for us to negotiate peace with Zhan Tianqi. Don’t worry, father, if you trust me, I will definitely get this done and let our family have face."

Gu Shengjiang's face changed. He wanted to refute Gu Shenghai's words, but he found that he was not reasonable. He was so anxious that all the sweat on his forehead rolled down.

"Father, the He family is a loyal slave for so many years. He San is also loyal to our Gu family. If he was abolished by the fourth brother's words alone, it would disappoint the servants!" Gu Shengjiang said.

Gu Tianyang stared at Gu Shenghai and said, "What did you say?"

Gu Shenghai laughed and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. He San is He San, and the He family is He family. I grew up eating the He family's milk. The old nanny of the He family still loves me!

I have already thought about it. He San is responsible for his own fault and cannot be forgiven. I am going to let He Er go to Liuhe. He Er is always calm and has been a foreign housekeeper for so many years. The whole mansion has a good evaluation of him.

The most important thing is that He Er and Gu Zhilun from Yangzhou are good brothers who grew up naked. They exchanged him for He Laosan. The He family in Liuhe is still a slave to our Gu family. Father, do you think my arrangement is reasonable?"

Gu Shengjiang was stunned for a moment. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Gu Shenghai. A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He suddenly realized that he had been fooled.

Gu Shenghai's previous panic, heavy, and other emotions were pretended to be full of pretense. It turns out that he had already prepared himself. Gu Shengjiang had never thought about using He Er to exchange He San.

Now Gu Shenghai cannot make such a decision in a hasty way. The only explanation is that he has made up his mind long ago and has been trying to attract others without causing any trouble. He is just waiting for the opportunity.

Who is Gu Tianyang? Can you hide what Gu Shengjiang can understand from him? He looked at the fourth brother deeply and felt a little complicated. According to his idea, the Gu family would hand it over to the eldest brother in the future, but Gu Shengjiang's performance disappointed him again and again.

Compared to the boss's mediocrity, the fourth brother is obviously more talented and more scheming. The fourth brother has been attentive about Liuhe for a long time!

"Go and do it, let He Lianggong stay in Liuhe, but he is not allowed to cause trouble. I also understand He Er, a slave. Needless to say, his loyalty to our family. If he can do this, he will leave it to him in the future!" The old man made the final decision and finalized the matter.

What else did Gu Shengjiang want to say, but the old man didn't give him a chance. He stood up and said, "Okay, stop making noises. It's getting late, go and work hard!

The fourth brother, don’t go to Liuhe yourself. Don’t let everyone think that my Gu family is really afraid of some people. This time, you have to explain to me the conditions you want, Humph, it’s not that easy to pull teeth from the tiger’s mouth!”

...

Liuhe County, He Family.

The Gu family's butler came in person. The news from the old butler was very simple. He Lianggong was no longer responsible for all the affairs of Liuhe. He Lianggong was not allowed to leave the house at once. This is the old man's words, and no one can question it at all.

After hearing this news, He Lianggong turned into a mollusc as if he had been pulled from his spinal cord, and he collapsed on the bed.

He Lianggong had thought about what he might face before, but this thought only flashed through his mind because he felt it was impossible.

After all, the Gu family is the number one wealthy family in Jiangnan. This little thing in Liuhe should not be difficult to make the Gu family's old master. This matter will definitely be over!

But He Lianggong didn't expect that things would pass, but he had to become a victim first. The old man replaced him with He Er. Later, the person who was talking about Liuhe turned into the second brother he looked down upon the most before.

Feng Shui has changed. After thirty years, He Er can come back with a high sound. Not only can he come back, but the first thing he did when he went to the He family was to let He Lianggong get a place.

He Lianggong has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. He Er has a five-bedroom wife, and he married a full twelve houses. He completely occupied the main house of He's mansion, and his concubine lives in a first-class and good yard!

Now He Er said in one sentence, He Lianggong had to get out. He Lianggong was so angry that he cursed, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and finally the matter ended up with the old lady.

The old lady said, "The good craftsman has broken the world. It was the great master who gave me great kindness to me, the He family, who saved my wealth. Now that Liangquan is back, the rules must be established. The good craftsman must listen to his second brother!"

With this sentence, He Lianggong lost resistance, and all the servants in the family changed their attitudes. Everyone pushed them down. Even He Hui, the nephew of his relative, was nowhere to be seen. It is no exaggeration to say that He Lianggong is now betrayal of his relatives, and the miserable situation is difficult to express in words.
