Chapter 114: Step by step

This second brother refused to bow to Tie Mo, so why didn't he even give Qiao Liuyun's face? At this time, he actually made Qiao Liuyun run away.

After thinking about it, Kang Zhenyue felt that he had to make up for the mistake Kang Zhendai made as soon as possible, "Prepare a carriage... No, prepare a horse, accompany me to the Qiao family."

Kang Fu was very surprised and looked up at the sky, "It's... it's almost midnight, it's getting late. Should I wait for tomorrow?"

"I can't wait for that long, Chi Ze changes. Uncle Fu, don't say much, prepare the horse quickly!"

In just half a cup of tea, Kang Zhenyue changed into a clean brocade robe and followed Kang Fu and others to the street overnight and arrived at the door of Qiao's house.

It was late at night and the door of the mansion was knocked on. At no time, Qiao Liuyun got up from the bed and went to the living room.

Kang Zhenyue just arrived today and came to visit him in a hurry at night, which was full of sincerity.

"Brother Zhenyue, you don't let you sleep in the middle of the night, but it's a bit unauthentic!"

Qiao Liuyun laughed and couldn't help but yawn. Kang Zhenyue said a few words and said, "It's really important. During the day, my second brother's words are offensive. I would like to ask Brother Qiao to see if our two families have been in love for decades."

"This is a matter. Brother Zhenyue is too disgusting. How could Qiao blame the second son?"

Kang Zhenyue smiled bitterly in his heart, why did you leave angrily during the day?

The two sides said a few polite words and gradually got to the point. When talking about the serious matter, Kang Zhenyue became much more serious. The affinity and persuasion were something that Kang Zhendai could not have. Even Qiao Liuyun felt inferior to that.

"Brother Qiao, Zhang Bei's affairs and Urge's troubles are also known to you. Don't worry, since these troubles arise because of my Kang family, my Kang family will naturally not sit idly by. When we came, the old man had already instructed that our Kang family would spend 500,000 taels to compensate the Qiao family for the losses during this period. If Brother Qiao feels that it is not enough, we can talk about it again!"

He took out 500,000 taels as compensation in one breath. Not to mention the entire Shanxi, even if half of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, only the Kang family had such courage.

The Kang family has a strong financial resources, which shows that this is absolutely great and can be compared to the Cao family.

Kang Zhenyue lowered his posture, came to the door to apologize in person, and took out 500,000 taels of silver as compensation, which was definitely considered sincere. Qiao Liuyun was really moved, but then she could only sigh silently.

"Brother Zhenyue, you have to worry about it. I'm afraid Qiao will not accept these compensations."

"Hmm? Brother Qiao thinks it's a little less? We can talk about this again, you think..."

Qiao Liuyun raised her hand to interrupt Kang Zhenyue and said with a wry smile: "It's not about how much money it costs, but Brother Zhenyue came a little late."

"Is it late?" Kang Zhenyue was stunned, and he instantly understood what he meant.

"Chang Family?"

Qiao Liuyun did not hide it and nodded slightly, "Iron Guard had come to find Qiao before, and Qiao had already agreed to invest in Duofu, and will open several semicolons in the capital soon."

In fact, Qiao Liuyun did not invest money or sign any contract. Who to cooperate with now is just a matter of his words. At this moment, as long as he reiterates his words, he can get 500,000 taels of silver.

It’s impossible to do this. At least Qiao Liuyun feels that following Tie Shoujie is more promising than following the Kang family.

"Is that true?" Kang Zhenyue seemed to be exhausted, leaning on the back of the chair loosely. One day, if he had arrived one day earlier, or if his second brother lowered his head a little and did not irritate Qiao Liuyun, the situation would not be like this now.

This is fate. You can't keep up with one step, you can't keep up with one step.

"Brother Qiao, have you really decided not to change? You should know that our Kang Qiao family has been in the past century for nearly a hundred years. Will it end here?"

"Brother Zhenyue, please forgive me. It is precisely because of the future of my Qiao family that Qiao had to make this decision. There are some roads, the second young master has gone too far, so Qiao doesn't want my Qiao family to suffer a catastrophe due to today's actions."

Qiao Liuyun said what he wanted to say the most, and he thought his choice was not wrong.

In fact, if there was no such variable as Tiemo, according to the normal development of history, the Chang family, Qiao family and other Shanxi merchants would be grateful to the Kang family for their persistence today in the future.

Unfortunately, there are no prophets in the world.

Everyone is smart, and some things can be seen at all. Kang Zhenyue quickly figured out Qiao Liuyun's concerns, sat up slightly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if there is no Later Jin, aren't there any giant bandits from all sides? Why did Brother Qiao insist on choosing Tiemo?"

"Giant bandit?" Qiao Liuyun pursed her lips and smiled sarcastically, "Will those people do anything besides robbing wealthy families and splitting land and goods? Why do you have to say so thoroughly about some things? May I ask Brother Zhenyue, are you willing to use most of the Kang family's wealth to support those bandits?"

"I....."

Kang Zhenyue was speechless and could not refute for a moment.

Those bandits only know how to burn, kill, loot, and commit sabotage everywhere. If they cooperate with them, they will be like sheep entering the tiger's mouth. At least, so far, no bandit is worthy of sincere support.

But the new emperor ascended the throne, wiped out the eunuch party, and suppressed the Shanxi merchants.

If there is a better choice, who would be willing to go out and support the Later Jin?

Everyone understands the risks. Because they understand, Qiao Liuyun changed the party and threw them to Tiemo.

Qiao Liuyun can change his mind, but the Kang family cannot do it. In order to support the Later Jin Dynasty and to support Huang Taiji, the Kang family invested countless manpower and financial resources. Now the interests of the Kang family in all aspects are bound to Huang Taiji, so how can they withdraw just by saying that they can withdraw?

To this day, the Kang family has been closely tied to Huang Taiji, prospering and losing.

Kang Zhenyue walked out of the Qiao family's mansion in a daze, turned around and looked at the gold-toned plaque, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Half a month later, the entire land of Shanxi Province would know that the Qiao family and the Kang family would part ways. At that time, those Shanxi merchants with unstable intentions would probably follow the footsteps of the Qiao family and turn to the Shanxi merchants led by Chang and Cao.

That's how should the Kang family lose its prestige?

......

In the early morning, autumn water drips and leaves float.

Listening to the report of the goblin, Tie Mo smiled and said lightly: "Joe Liuyun is smart enough. Since ancient times, no one with two faces and three swords has ended up! Let the brothers keep a close eye on Kang Zhenyue. This eldest son is much better than the second son."

Tie Mo was glad that he had done it quickly enough. If Kang Zhenyue arrived in Zhangjiakou and he would have to spend some time trying to win over the Qiao family.

The sand sculpture held the wine gourd and rode on the big willow tree in the yard. Under the tree, squatting with a fierce look on the wolf.

"I said Tie Shou, Grandpa Tie, can you let this beast out first?"

Tie Mo rolled his eyes in anger, "Then you can't bear it, wait until you get outside before drinking?"

"No, I'll just itch if I don't drink for an hour!"

"Then I can't do it either. Mengmeng loves wine the most and can't control it!"

"You...humph, if it weren't for your face, I'd have found a chance to kill this annoying beast!"

Tie Mo didn't take it seriously at all, so Sha Diao made a harsh talk. He hadn't eaten anything when he fought with Mengmeng before? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been frustrated when he met Mengmeng.

After fighting back, Sha Diao hung the wine gourd around her waist and said with a deep eyebrows: "Okay, let's talk about something serious, what should Kang Zhendai do? He is leaving Zhangjiakou today."

Tiemo touched his nose, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "I said, I will kill him whenever I have the chance."
