"The most hateful thing is that not only has that boy from the Wu family not been imprisoned, he is also spreading rumors that sooner or later our family will be bankrupted. He is really wishful thinking..."
"Huh? What did you say?" Fang Zheng was about to continue walking when he suddenly turned around after hearing this, and the expression on his face changed a little.
"Damn you, you villain! You talk too much!" Xiao Wu saw Fang Zheng's expression was different, and immediately regretted his gaffe. After being promoted to a senior study companion, he started chewing his tongue in front of the young master, typical of "give three points and then leave"
"Dyeing room", isn't this looking for trouble?
"Don't die yet. Do you think that boy from the Wu family wants to bankrupt our Fang family?" Fang Zheng asked in a bad tone with his eyes slightly narrowed, his expression a bit like the calm before the storm.
"Yes, many people in the capital know that on the day you just woke up, young master, this boy drank too much in Zuixian Tower, banged the table and uttered arrogant words. The words spread like this, and the villain just listened.
That's all." Xiao Wu looked at Fang Zheng's face and said cautiously.
Fang Zheng felt anger burning in his chest.
Damn it! I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen such arrogant people. If you hit someone, you just don’t come to the door to apologize, but you actually want me to lose everything. Isn’t this destroying my job? This is tolerable, but it is intolerable!
From the day he traveled through time, Fang Zheng set a clear goal for himself: not to be an official, not to be a king. All he wanted was to be a dandy young master with food, drink and money. This goal may be useful to other people.
It sounds very unambitious, but Young Master Fang likes it.
In terms of the Fang family's financial situation, this goal has been achieved, and Fang Zheng is enjoying such a life happily. He has no ambitions. In the future, when his father retires and takes over, he plans to guard this property with peace of mind.
Then marry a few more wives, become a rich man, and live an ordinary life.
As for the protagonists in the novel, they were busy inventing firecrackers, steam engines, muskets and artillery as soon as they traveled through time... Go to hell! The young master didn't have that spare time, so he got something for nothing, and the pursuit of enjoyment was his highest ideal.
Now someone wants to ruin his ideal, and Fang Zheng is really angry now. What will he do if the Fang family is ruined? Go to the streets to beg for food? Not to mention that his father has suffered so much injustice because of him.
That boy from the Wu family needs to be taught a hard lesson, not only for himself, but also for his father. Although Fang Zheng knows that the boy from the Wu family is just talking about it, the Fang family's current industries are now spread all over the south of the Yangtze River.
, like a huge aircraft carrier, can it be said that it can fail?
But just talking about it won't do. If you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're just afraid that thieves will miss you. If you don't scare him, who knows what tricks he will play in the future.
"Xiao Wu, do you know what the background of the Wu family is?" Knowing yourself and your enemy means you can win a hundred battles. Since you are planning to take action, you must make a more careful plan to avoid causing trouble in the future.
"Background? What kind of background does his Wu family have?" Xiao Wu curled his lips disdainfully: "It's just using money to maintain the relationship with the government. If he is really good or bad, the government will not care about his life or death."
Well, this makes sense. My predecessor was almost killed by that kid, and the government didn't help the Fang family. After all, the status of businessmen in this era is not high. In the eyes of those who are officials, businessmen are
Profit-seeking people are synonymous with cunning and cunning. With this understanding, how can an official help a businessman to stand out?
This is good news. On the other hand, if the boy from the Wu family is unlucky, the government will probably not pay much attention to it. As for Mr. Chen, the Yin of Jinling Prefecture, he can't even think of picking it out. This young master Qiu Ben has taken note of it.
"Xiaowu, what do you usually do after having dinner at Zuixianlou? It's so early, shouldn't you go home and sleep?" If he really went home to sleep, he would have to give it up today.
"How can it be possible? After such a rich man eats and drinks, of course he takes advantage of the wine to visit the brothels."
There's something going on! Fang Zheng was a little excited: "Oh? Do you know which brothel he often goes to?"
Xiaowu said without hesitation: "Of course it's Qionghua Tower. It's just across the alley across the street. Last time I competed with you, Master, for the pink girl from Qionghua Tower, this kid used his dirty tricks to win you over.
The freshness hasn't worn off yet, and I'm having a heated fight with Miss Pink."
Peach...Peach red? Damn it! What kind of taste did my predecessor have? Just hearing the name is vulgar enough...
Young Master Fang rolled his eyes and thought about it.
Fang Zheng whispered: "Xiao Wu, this is not far from home. Go back quickly and call a few nurses. Remember to choose those who are good at skills and smart. Come here quietly to find me. By the way, this
Don't make things public, don't let my father and mother know, go and come back quickly!"
Xiao Wu responded and quickly disappeared under the night.
Fang Zheng squatted alone at the entrance of the alley, staring warily at the restaurant across the street. Although it was early summer, the weather was still a bit cold after nightfall. Fang Zheng tightened the neck of his gown and couldn't help but shiver. Look.
As the diners in the restaurant across the street came and went in an endless stream, I felt very angry.
Damn it! You're drinking and eating meat inside, but I'm standing outside looking out like a loser. We are all dandy young masters, and we all have different fates. If I don't make you cry for father and mother when I come out later, the young master will
Take your last name.
It was very uncomfortable to wait for someone, especially when he was cold and hungry. Fang Zheng counted silently in his mind and kept counting until five hundred, when Xiao Wu finally arrived.
There were five people following Xiao Wu. The leader was a tall man in his thirties with a beard. Fang Zheng recognized him. He was the head of the nursing home of Fang Mansion. His name was Zheng Zhan. He was a taciturn man.
, but his hands are quite capable.
Zheng Zhan was from the north. When he was eighteen years old, there was a famine in his hometown. He and his mother fled to the capital. Later, his mother fell ill. Master Fang happened to pass by and gave his mother twenty taels of silver to see a doctor. Unfortunately, in the end
His mother's illness was still not cured, and it took more than a month to finally let go. Zheng Zhan had no ties to him, and felt the kindness of Mr. Fang to help him in times of crisis, so he went to the Fang family. Zheng Zhan had been with a man who was in trouble in his early years.
A monk who had practiced Kung Fu and was very good at Shaolin Arm Fist, Master Fang made him the head of the nursing home of Fang Mansion.
Fang Zheng vaguely knew the four people who followed Zheng Zhan. They were strong, smart and capable. Although they did not have "high bulges at the temples" as described in martial arts novels, their demeanor showed a strong energy. They must have
They are all nursing homes of the Fang family. It is said that Mr. Fang is quite thoughtful, and he has recruited such a gangster with real authority under his control without saying a word.
Fang Zheng quickly stepped forward to say hello: "Brother Zheng, why are you here in person?"
Zheng Zhan was not good at words, so he just raised the corners of his mouth to show that he had smiled.
Seeing Zheng Zhan acting cool, Fang Zheng had no choice but to clasp his fists towards the four people behind him and said loudly: "I've heard for a long time that you heroes are highly skilled in martial arts and your reputation is far-reaching. Now that I've met you today, it turns out that it's better to meet each other than to be famous. Everyone, please
!”
This nonsense intro was so frightening that the four "heroes" behind Zheng Zhan bent over and bowed in return. They were as polite as polite and elegant gentlemen, and there was no trace of a "man of the world" at all.
One of the shorter men hunched over and said with a smile: "I heard that the young master had something to call for urgently, so the younger brothers followed Chief Zheng and hurried here. If the young master has anything to do, just give him the order. The younger brothers will definitely go through fire and water.
I will not give up until I die."
"You're welcome. There's no need to go through fire and water. It's not that difficult. You just need to help me knock on the sap and scare people."
"Ha, Jie Dao'er, tell me earlier, this is what our brothers are good at." The short man looked like an expert who "specializes in the art".
"Ah?" Fang Zheng was shocked. He couldn't see that his father, a businessman like him, had such a dark side. There were actually some bandits and robbers in the family's nursing home. The Fang family was really a bit of a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
the meaning of.
The short man explained proudly: "To tell you the truth, young master, ten years ago my brothers did business without capital in the north. After a few days of drinking and sharing the money with each other, we became blind."
Seeing that he had robbed the master of a fortune, Chief Zheng went up the mountain single-handedly and beat down dozens of people in our group. Only then did our brothers follow Chief Zheng into Fang's house with all conviction...
…”
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zhan glared at him. The short man smiled, touched his nose and stopped talking.
Zheng Zhan turned his head and said to the other party: "Forget about the past, whatever the young master plans to do, I will definitely support you carefully."
Fang Zheng came back from the shock, feeling vaguely uneasy. Isn't it a little inappropriate for his father to recruit these bandits to serve as a nursing home? The fruit seller changed his profession to selling pesticides. Can he sell well? What if?
He is used to eating secretly...
Hey, what time has it been? Why are you always so out of tune? Fang Zheng shook his head and ordered everyone: "It's very simple. When that kid comes out of the restaurant later, please bring Brother Zheng up and kill him with a stick first.
He was knocked unconscious and then taken to a deserted wilderness. Master, I have to treat him well today."
After saying that, he pretended to smile ferociously while pinching his knuckles. His knuckles were a bit unsatisfactory today, and none of them made a sound after a long time. The chilling atmosphere he had deliberately cultivated was greatly reduced.
The short man was obviously a talkative master, so he couldn't bear it and spoke again: "Listen to Xiao Wu, that guy was the one who made you unconscious for more than a month, young master?"
"What does idea mean?" Fang Zheng was a little uncomfortable with the way people in the world spoke.
"Haha, I can't change my words. This is slander. Is that kid the murderer who made you coma for more than a month?"
"That's right, I took the opportunity to deal with him today. Also, I haven't been killed by him yet, young master. I can only say that he is the perpetrator. It seems inappropriate to call him a murderer..."
"It should have been so long ago! The young master is willing to take revenge, and he has the demeanor of a man in the world!" The short man lost no time in sending a gentle flattery.
"Really?" Young Master Fang beamed after being photographed: "I have to practice kung fu for a few days. Can I be ranked among the best in the world? For example, a jade-faced flying dragon, a pear tree crushing a begonia, etc..."
"..." Everyone was silent, rationally pretending not to hear the young master's overestimating remarks.
Several people were squatting under the corner, chatting and watching closely what was going on in the restaurant, waiting for Mr. Wu to come out after he had eaten and drank.
This scene seems a bit familiar to Fang Zheng. He used to squat at the gate of a foreign school, accompanying his classmates and waiting for the girl he liked after school, but it looked like this. No wonder he squatted so smoothly, it would look more like him if he was holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Master, they... are actually not bad. In the past, they had no choice but to do business without capital..." Zheng Zhan seemed to see the underlying uneasiness in Fang Zheng's heart and defended himself.
"Well, Brother Zheng, I believe you. After today's work is done, thank them for me. As for the master, if he doesn't know, let no one say anything about it. If he knows, you can blame it on me. No.
Make things difficult for you."
"Everyone has a share. Since we are here today, we don't want to take it out." Zheng Zhan gave a rare smile and spoke calmly.
Before Fang Zheng could say anything, Xiao Wu spoke up: "Master, that kid is out."
Everyone looked across the street and saw Mr. Wu waddling out of the restaurant. The waiter nodded and walked straight to the door. After exiting the door, Mr. Wu turned to the right and entered a dark alley.
When the time was right, Fang Zheng secretly winked at Zheng Zhan, who nodded knowingly, waved and led the four guards across the street seemingly leisurely and towards the alley.
Today is obviously not Mr. Wu's lucky day. Mr. Wu is in a bad mood.
Mr. Wu was born into a family of merchants. The Wu family was slightly inferior to the Fang family in Jinling in terms of wealth. Due to poor management and many other reasons, the Fang family was always suppressed by the Fang family in terms of business. Therefore, Mr. Wu had no choice but to move his business farther away.
A lot of money was invested in the expansion in the south, but I didn't expect that I was so unlucky. It happened to coincide with the rebellion of the Jiaozhi Kingdom in the south. The rebels occupied Wuzhou and looted all the shops in the city. One-third of the Wu family's wealth was wiped out.
.——There is no insurance company these days. If you are stolen or robbed, you have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky.
Master Wu was so angry that he was so angry that Mr. Wu also suffered a lot from his father. In depression, Mr. Wu went to a brothel to get drunk, but he met Fang Zheng's predecessor. All the old and new hatreds came to his heart, so he used
The black hand pushed him downstairs.
Mr. Wu originally thought that he had done something good for the Wu family, so he happily ran to Mr. Wu to express his merit. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu slapped him on the head and face, and immediately pulled him straight to the Jinling government office and gave Mr. Chen, the governor, a big gift.
With a thick stack of silver notes, Mr. Chen pressed the complaint against the Fang family for the white money, and the matter was finally settled.
Half a year passed in a flash, and the Wu family's business was now deteriorating. After Fang Zheng's accident, Mr. Fang had no way to sue. In anger, he united with other businesses in Jinling City to suppress the Wu family's business indiscriminately. Wu
The Wu family has declined from being the second richest businessman in Jinling to being a second- and third-rate business today. This consequence was something that the Wu family and his son did not expect at the beginning.
Mr. Wu didn't know why he lost his temper today. He found an excuse to scold Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu was so depressed that he went to Zuixian Tower to drink and get drunk. He planned to vent today's depression later.
As for Taohong - tying her to the head of the bed and torturing her wantonly might be a good way to vent her anger. Mr. Wu smiled and felt much better.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
While walking in the middle of the dark alley, Mr. Wu suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. An ominous premonition arose spontaneously. People are naturally alert. When he felt something was wrong, he immediately turned around and walked back without hesitation.
.
Mr. Wu's alertness was correct, and his turning back was also correct. The only thing incorrect was that his reaction was too late.
The entrance to the alley was blocked by three tall shadows, and the two men were quietly approaching from behind.
Looking at the closed-door and dog-fighting formation in front of him, it can be said that the comers are evil. Mr. Wu is not a fool, and of course he knows that they are coming for him.
He composed himself and said calmly: "What advice do you heroes have?"
His answer was a sap, hitting him hard on the back of the head, and then he was dragged to a carriage out of the city like a dead dog...
