Chapter 452: Zhongzhou

Ye Feng was stunned when he listened to it, originally he just came here with Li Caixue to drink water, and then looked for an opportunity to have an in-depth "exchange" with Li Caixue, but he didn't want to do such a thing, and it was related to Xiao Tianfeng.

He probably heard a meaning, this Zhao Mingcheng's daughter from Xiao Tianfeng's cloth village into a batch of silk, want to make garments and sell them, because the purchase of money is not enough, so he signed a contract with the Xiao family, this is called venture capital, who knows that a fire will be the entire Chang'an City's garment market chaos, her garments can not be sold, but the Xiao family at this time urged to ask for payment, this Zhao Ya girl failed to invest, the benefits were empty, but she tasted the price of venture capital.

Xiao Tianfeng's cloth village caught fire? Ye Feng really didn't know about this, since he left the Xiao family and entered the Li Mansion, he had never contacted Xiao Tianfeng again, only knew that she might have to accompany her father back to Yelang to deal with the Xiao family's inner ghost with the help of Liliang of the Dihuang Sect.

Although Ye Feng didn't know much about Xiao Tianfeng, he also knew that she was a hard-faced and soft-hearted woman, and she shouldn't do such a thing to force people to repay the loan, there must be some twists and turns in this matter.

Li Caixue helped Zhao Mingcheng up, and said softly: "Uncle, you don't have to worry, although I don't know the eldest lady of the Xiao family, but I have also heard of her deeds, as far as I know, the eldest lady of the Xiao family acts like a man, and she should not be so stingy, and this matter only involves silver and two is not enough, so let's do it, I have some silver money here, so I will give it to the uncle, you take it and help your daughter pay back the goods first, and I will send someone to the Xiao family to say a few words of peace when I go back." Presumably, the eldest lady will definitely give me face. ”

Zhao Mingcheng's face was flushed, and he bowed deeply again, and said: "Miss Li is kind and kind, and the old man is very grateful, but Miss Li's silver money, the old man will never dare to ask for it, and my daughter's matter, in fact, is not only a matter of silver compensation, but also involves other bigger issues, which is what makes the old man feel the most difficult." For that eldest lady of the Xiao family. The old man actually understands something, as Miss Li said just now, the eldest lady of the Xiao family is actually a very haode person, we who are the people of Shengdou. Even if it's a bit of a buying and selling business. It is also mostly engaged in some small business transactions. In the entire Chang'an City, only the Xiao family is willing to communicate with us, and other merchants do not bother to do business with us at all. Usually, if we have any unfavorable turnover, the Xiao family has never had a dunning phenomenon, so everyone is very grateful to the Xiao family, once there is a surplus on hand, they will immediately return it to the Xiao family, and thinking of the generosity of the Xiao family, our daily livelihood needs are also purchased in the Xiao family's store, and the Xiao family does cloth and garment trading, not one thousand but eight hundred. ”

Li Caixue asked: "Uncle Zhao, you said that this matter is complicated, what kind of situation is it, and what about your daughter, where is she now?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Zhao Mingcheng's tears came out, and he sobbed: "After these things just happened, Ya'er knew that she didn't want to drag down our father and son, in order to pay off the arrears as soon as possible, she had been running around sleepless for the past few days, just hoping to send these ready-to-wear clothes out as soon as possible, but the ready-to-wear stores in Chang'an are now generally sluggish, and the stores that used to do business with Ya'er were even closed, Ya'er had no choice but to go to Zhongzhou, no matter how we persuaded her, she couldn't stay." ”

"Zhongzhou, what's wrong with Zhongzhou? Why can't she go? Ye Feng finally couldn't help but interject and ask.

Zhao Mingcheng explained: "Little brother, don't you know Zhongzhou? ”

Ye Feng sneered: "I really don't know, I'm a foreigner, and I just came to Chang'an not long ago." ”

said that Ye Feng didn't know, and even Li Caixue, a noble lady who grew up in Chang'an, also showed a puzzled expression at this time.

"Zhongzhou is the general name of our ordinary people for those rich officials and businessmen in Chang'an, the so-called Zhongzhou, in fact, is the most prosperous place in Chang'an City, many dignitaries and nobles will build their mansions in the center of Chang'an City."

"It turned out to be a gathering place for rich and celebrities, so what, even so, ordinary people can't go?" Ye Feng still didn't quite understand.

Zhao Xiaobao stood up at this time, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Dad, don't intercede with them anymore, my sister has been imprisoned by the Fan family for two days, Fan Zhe's dog, I have long seen him unpleasant, since I saw my sister once a few days ago, he often came to our house to harass, what kind of mind he wants, I have long been clear, now that our family is in trouble, he played a trick and fell into the well, wanting to occupy my sister, I think it is better to let me gather some brothers and snatch my sister back directly, if Fan Zhe's dog dares to stop it, I will beat him with broken muscles and bones, My martial arts over the years have not been practiced in vain, and it is a big deal that our family will leave Chang'an City in the future and find another place. ”

This Zhao Xiaobao's voice is as bright as a bell, and his face is full of arrogance, but it is very different from his father Zhao Mingcheng's temperament.

"Xiaobao, don't talk nonsense, your sister is too impulsive so she fell for the Fan family's way, do you want to follow in your sister's footsteps?"

Ye Feng and Li Caixue were a little confused when they listened, and Li Caixue asked: "Uncle, I still don't understand, who is Fan Zhe, and what kind of relationship does Miss Zhao Ya have to do with him?" ”

After Zhao Mingcheng explained again, Ye Feng and Li Caixue figured out that Zhao Ya took the risk to Zhongzhou in order to sell the ready-to-wear in her hand as soon as possible and repay the arrears of the Xiao family in time. Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also an important commercial port, with a permanent population plus a floating population of more than one million, with a distinct class distinction, the royal family and nobles are naturally superior, and the identity is the most precious, followed by some dignitaries, and then there are local merchants and foreign merchants, and Zuihou is the ordinary people with the largest proportion of these populations.

In Zhongzhou, most of the people live in Chang'an, there are some officials at all levels in Chang'an and their families, and the other is the rich businessmen, these people are not many, but they live in the largest house in Chang'an, raise the most abundant fields in Chang'an, and grasp the political and economic lifeline of Chang'an. There is a saying among the common people of Chang'an that they would rather sit in prison for ten years than enter Zhongzhou, which shows the corruption, degenerateness, arbitrariness, and domineering of Zhongzhou.

According to this concept, Li Caixue's Zhongshan Mansion and Xiao Tianfeng's Xiao Mansion also belong to Zhongzhou.

Zhao Ya didn't want to implicate the whole family, and didn't want her elderly father and young brother to be sent to the government by the Xiao family to punish the crime, so she would rather venture into Zhongzhou to sell her ready-to-wear clothes, just hoping to be lucky enough to sell all the ready-to-wear clothes, but she didn't want the ready-to-wear to be sold, but she was taken by a second-generation official named Fan Zhe. prescribe the most common condition for the second generation of officials like him: isn't it a ready-to-wear worth five hundred taels? Okay, I want them all, but the condition is that you Zhao Ya will be my concubine, how superior this condition is, in addition to understanding your difficulties, I also made you an official wife, and the whole family has soared since then, rich and glorious.

Isn't this just a robbery? However, Fan Zhe doesn't see it that way, this is called paid assistance, and it also takes care of your face, a small common people, no one dares to say anything even if Lao Tzu robs it. Why is Fan Zhe so awesome? Because there is a father who is an official, his father is not an outsider, it is the Chang'an City guard Fan Xiyuan that Ye Feng had only seen before.

How big is Fan Xiyuan's official position? In the modern society of Huaguo, it is equivalent to the status of the mayor of Beijing, which shows that the identity of the second generation of officials is indeed worthy of the name.

If it weren't for the fire in the Xiao family's cloth warehouse, Miss Zhao Ya might not have had the opportunity to set foot on the boundary of Zhongzhou in her life, but now she is being urged by the Xiao family, and she is dead, so take the risk of gambling, speaking of which, the culprit seems to be really the Xiao family.

Li Caixue has such a meaty temperament, and after listening to Zhao Mingcheng's story, she couldn't help but change her complexion, and she screamed again and again?

From the bottom of her heart, Li Caixue must be extremely disgusted with Fan Xiyuan, that old guy is so old and still wants to propose to him, when he thinks of this, Li Caixue feels like swallowing a fly.

At that moment, Li Caixue slapped the table and said angrily: "Is there still a royal law here?" Uncle Zhao, you don't need to worry, I will definitely try my best to help you solve this matter. (To be continued......)
