On the edge of the West Lake, a large mansion with a large area is located in it.

"Brother-in-law, do you give me another chance, it's so stupid to be that Qian Sangui today, I actually leaked my mouth. So many people were present and heard it clearly, and they couldn't refute it if they wanted to. ”

Zhu Tou stood behind a middle-aged scribe and made a loud noise.

This morning, he personally watched Qian Sangui go to the Treasure Pavilion in the crowd to make trouble, originally everything went very smoothly, who knew that a fairy-like girl appeared out of nowhere, and in a few words, Qian Sangui was confused.

Shengsheng ruined a good situation.

The angry Zhu Tou wanted Qian Sangui to return the two silver coins to himself directly.

"Gorou, I don't really approve of you doing this. This treasure pavilion is very famous in Chang'an City, and it belongs to the property of His Royal Highness the King of Chu's mansion, how can it be so easy if you want to fight them? ”

The speaker is Hangzhou Changshi Zhang Qi, as one of the four surnames of Wuzhong, Zhang's family, which can be described as capable of literature and martial arts.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Zhang family began to rise, and when it came to the Three Kingdoms, the Zhang family of Wu County produced Zhang Wen, Zhang Yan, and Zhang Dun several celebrities, they were erudite and talented, and the Zhang family soon developed into a family.

During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the position of the Zhang family in Jiangnan was further consolidated, although after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhang family began to go downhill, but it is still a rare family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, the position of Hangzhou Changshi, how can he sit for several years.

"Brother-in-law, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is very powerful in Chang'an City, and I have naturally heard of it. But this treasure pavilion is opened in Hangzhou City, which is our territory. The Zhang family and the Zhu family have joined forces, who else in Hangzhou City dares to get along with us? Besides, we didn't stand up and get along with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I just wanted the formula for that Chanel perfume. ”

Zhu Tou has been arrogant since he was a child.

Besides, the Zhu family and the Zhang family are both surnamed Wuzhong, and the family power can be regarded as all over the south of the Yangtze River.

To put it mildly, ordinary princes really can't fight them.

Otherwise, how can there be a saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake?

The Zhu family and the Zhang family, who have been operating in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, are proper local snakes.

Especially in the Hangzhou generation, it is their base camp, even if it is the Gu family, the Lu family and other families in the south of the Yangtze River, they have to retreat here.

"This Chanel perfume sells so well, how can the recipe be so easy to obtain? Even if Qian Sangui didn't mess things up today, you might not be able to force the shopkeeper to hand over the secret recipe for the perfume. Besides, how do you know that the king's shopkeeper must have a secret recipe in his hand? ”

Zhang Qi loves his wife very much, and he is a little more indulgent to this brother-in-law.

The main thing is that this brother-in-law is usually reliable, and he helps himself solve some inconvenient things.

"Brother-in-law, wealth is in danger, didn't the ancestors fight hard to get rich and noble back then. Now we're just testing the Treasure Pavilion a little, and it's worth the risk. Once we have the recipe for this perfume, we will directly produce it ourselves, and then follow the ships that go to sea to the South Seas, which is definitely a daily progress. ”

Hangzhou's overseas trade has been in full swing in recent years.

The Zhang family and the Zhu family were originally not involved, but they couldn't help but intervene in the past two years.

"You wait a minute and then say, His Royal Highness the King of Chu happened to be in Hangzhou recently, and now he is a noble envoy, don't commit it in his hands, I won't be able to save you when the time comes."

Zhang Qi also felt that what Zhu Tou said made a little sense.

No matter how powerful Li Kuan is, after all, he can't manage Hangzhou City.

Well, except for these days.

……

City Division.

"Lord Wang, I found it out, that Qian Sangui turned left and right after leaving the Treasure Pavilion, and finally went to a big mansion. This house, I heard that it is a courtyard of the Zhu family in Hangzhou. ”

In the night, Wang Xuanwu hurried back from outside and reported the news he heard today to Li Kuan.

Seeing that I am going to Hongzhou, I don't know when I will come to Hangzhou next time.

It's hard to say even if there will be a next time, Li Kuan naturally wants to get rid of this hidden danger.

In the city of Hangzhou, there can only be two kinds of people who dare to fight the idea of the Treasure Pavilion.

One is really splashing, like a frog at the bottom of the well, I can't see the overall situation of Datang, thinking that Hangzhou City really has some strength, and I am not afraid of heaven and earth to engage in the Treasure Pavilion.

This kind of person has nothing to be afraid of, and he will clean it up in minutes.

The other is that some families want to take advantage of the fire and see if they can take advantage.

After all, no matter how famous Li Kuan is in Chang'an City, it is impossible for all the famous families in the world to be afraid of him.

If that's the case, shouldn't everyone be even more afraid of Li Shimin?

Now it seems that there is a second case.

"The Zhu family in Jiangnan?"

Li Kuan sneered.

I am in Chang'an, but I have a lot of wrists with several big families with five surnames and seven wangs, and I can still be afraid of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River?

"That's right, the subordinate inquired again. That courtyard is the residence of Zhu Tou, the sister-in-law of the contemporary patriarch of the Zhu family, and if you want to come to this Qian Sangui, it should be Zhu Tou's instructions. ”

Although the power of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Wangfu is now all over the Tang Dynasty, an important maritime trade town like Hangzhou still has its own power.

Even in the Hangzhou branch of the Tang Royal Money Village and the Hangzhou branch of the Treasure Pavilion, there are people from the Intelligence Bureau.

Therefore, Wang Xuanwu was able to grasp the relevant news in such a short period of time.

"This Zhu family, what is the biggest industry?"

There are two most effective ways to deal with these families.

One is to get rid of their representatives in the officialdom, and the other is to bring down their family's pillar industries.

Especially the latter one, although many people in Datang don't pay much attention to it, Li Kuan knows that the power and damage of this method are actually greater.

Of course, in the long run, it is the first one that has a greater impact.

However, although Li Kuan was a deposed envoy, there were still many constraints when it came to punishing local officials casually, and it was more troublesome to get involved.

It's better to choose the business field you are good at and do it.

"This Zhu family is the owner of a famous silk shop in Hangzhou, and a lot of good land in the family is rented to tenants to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms, and has a close relationship with Yu Jin, a sea merchant in Hangzhou, and it is rumored that this Yu Jin is actually helping the Zhu family."

"Yu Jin? The name seems to have been heard somewhere. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this Yu Jin was one of the four major maritime merchants in Hangzhou City that year, when Dongfang Langzhong brought his subordinates to Hangzhou City, the first to fight were Ma Biao and Yu Jin, these maritime merchants."

Lu Quan stood aside and finally found an opportunity to speak.

Others may not be familiar with Yu Jin, but it is impossible for him not to be familiar with Lu Quan.

Li Kuan: "So, a lot of the Zhu family's silk was sold to the open sea through this Yu Jin?" ”

Lu Quan: "That's right, the Zhu family is the largest silk merchant in Hangzhou, in addition to Yu Jin, some other Fanbang maritime merchants will also find them to purchase silk in their shop." ”

"Lord Wang, if that's the case, then it's easy to do. Didn't the Zhu family want to make more money? The silk is not satisfied with such a huge profit, so we will help him cut off this piece of income. ”

Wu Meiniang had a smile on her face, but the suggestion she put forward was not funny at all.

"These Jiangnan families, the emperor is far away, and they really think that Jiangnan is their world. Lu Quan, you arranged for the ships of the city sailor, and all the ships of the Zhu family going to sea have been seized these days, as for the reason, you don't need this king to help you find it, right? ”

With the big weapon of the City Bo Division in his hand, if he wants to deal with the Zhu family, is it not easy to capture?

Lu Quan: "Lord Wang, no problem, my subordinates will arrange it immediately." In addition, this Zhu Tou, he also has a brother-in-law, Zhang Qi, the mayor of Hangzhou, who is one of his big backers. ”

"Oh? And such things? ”

Li Kuan's index finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, thinking about how to teach this Zhang Qi an unforgettable lesson.

"Lord Wang, in fact, we can repay the other in the other way."

Wu Meiniang smiled, obviously already having an idea.

"How can you repay the other with the other?"

To make Zhang Qi uncomfortable, and there is no need to make a big move, Li Kuan really didn't think about what to do.

"It's simple. Isn't this Zhang Qi Zhu Tou's brother-in-law? It is the long history of Hangzhou again. This is the first term of the official, what he cares about most is the official reputation, this Zhu Tou arranged for Qian Sangui to make the treasure pavilion bad, and we can also arrange a person to make Zhang Qi bad. The more Wu Meiniang thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was good, "As long as you find a woman in a green house, and then find a child from the sick house, and then let this woman in a green house go to the gate of the Hangzhou state capital to make a big fuss, just say this Zhang Qi ......"

Li Kuan listened to Wu Meiniang's idea, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This kind of thing, no matter what era it is, has a very big impact on the official reputation of officials.

Especially now that there is no paternity testing technology, you have no way to prove that the child is not yours.

People stick to you with dead skin, at least it can make you uncomfortable for a while.

Of course, under normal times, a woman in a green building would definitely not dare to do this, and Zhang Qi will clean you up in minutes.

But if someone had her back, it would be different.

Isn't this Zhang Qi Zhu Tou's sister?

This move not only made Zhang Qi uncomfortable, but also indirectly affected Zhu Tou.

It couldn't be a better idea.

Simple, executable, and expected to work well.

Li Kuan naturally agreed to Wu Meiniang's suggestion.

……

As the long history of Hangzhou, Zhang Qi's life is very nourishing.

Although it was a cold winter, there were several honeycomb coal stoves lit in the house, and I didn't feel cold at all.

Zhang Qi took a sip of Longjing fragrant tea, got up and went to the Assassin's Mansion to see if the Cao Joiners had summed up the events of this year.

However, when he appeared in front of everyone, he found that many people looked at him with a little special eyes.

has been an official for a long time, and Zhang Qi can accurately judge whether his eyes are admiration, admiration, contempt or curiosity.

Obviously, these subordinates look at themselves differently than usual.

How is it different, Zhang Qi has never encountered it before, and it is difficult to make a conclusion for a while.

However, this made him feel even more strange.

Could it be that I didn't wear my clothes well today?

Zhang Qi paid attention to his whole body without a trace, and did not find anything wrong.

"Zhang Changshi, someone is making trouble outside, do you want to go out and take a look?"

A Sigong joined the army and couldn't help but whisper a reminder in front of Zhang Qi.

"Huh?"

Zhang Qi frowned, sensing that things were wrong.

However, at this time, he was not too worried.

Under normal circumstances, if something big happens at the gate of this state capital, someone must come to report it.

I came to the state capital early this morning, and no one came to tell me what happened.

"Zhang Qi, you bastard, come out for me......"

"The dog is two years old, you have never looked at him, and now ......"

A rather handsome woman stood at the gate of the state capital with a boy in her arms, and there were several people from the city who were sailors.

Originally, the officials of the state capital wanted to take this woman away, but how could the people of the city sailor let him get his wish?

In this way, a strange scene appeared at the gate of Hangzhou Mansion.

It's only a quarter of an hour, and everyone in the state capital who should know knows it.

Even in the later generations, the scene of the three small companies making trouble is also something that everyone likes to see.

If this junior is his boss, or the boss's boss, everyone's interest will be even stronger.

As for stopping people from making trouble, hehe, there may be people who do it symbolically, but once they find that it seems that it is not easy to stop, everyone will immediately turn into a melon-eating crowd.

"Who are you? Why do you slander this official here? ”

Zhang Qi walked to the door and was about to be angry when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Okay, you're Zhang Qi, as soon as you pull your pants when you're done, you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, right? Last year, you said that when the dog was older, you would find a house outside the city to house our mother and son, and the result? In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, I haven't even seen your shadow......"

"Enough, come on, why don't you fork out this nonsense shrew for this official?"

However, the guards and officials in front of the state capital have all suffered the losses of the city's sailors, and after listening to Zhang Qi's orders, Du Nuonuo did not dare to step forward.

If you don't listen to Zhang Qi's words, the law will not blame the public, and there may not be anything at that time.

But if you step forward now, you will definitely be beaten.

These Qiu Ba, the shot is not light or heavy, if you break your arm and leg......

"Zhang Qi, okay, you don't want to give our mother and son a way to live, right, I'll fight with you."

After the woman finished speaking, she put down the child and rushed to Zhang Qi, the nails of both hands slamming into his face.

What's even more exaggerated is that she actually bit Zhang Qi's shoulder.

Now it's okay, the front of the state capital is completely lively.

Although Zhang Qi is a man, he is already in his forties, and his strength is not necessarily much greater than that of a woman.

All of a sudden, the two actually fought.

The little boy behind him burst into tears.

The shouts, scolding, and cries were intertwined to present a big melon for everyone!
