Chapter 114: Noble Lawlessness
Zhao Gongzi said a few words of mourning to Xu Bangrui, then came out of the mourning shed and was sent by Xu Weizhi to the guest shed on the side to rest and eat tea.
In fact, Zhao Hao was really not tired, but it was rude to leave immediately, so he had to sit down to eat a cup of tea and talk to Xiao Zhi in a low voice.
In the guest shed, there were more than a dozen guests, all of whom had come to worship earlier, and they were also eating tea and talking there. Seeing the young man come in, the guests ignored it at first, but after hearing Xiao Zhi call him Master, the shed fell silent.
Zhao Hao put down the teacup strangely, and said in his heart, is the reputation of this son now so loud that it makes people thunder?
I saw a tall middle-aged man with triangular eyes and a hooked nose, and got up and walked in front of him.
"Excuse me, you're Zhao Gongzi, right?"
"Yes, who is the driver?" Zhao Hao was a little uncomfortable by his condescending eyes.
"Pingjiang Bo Chen Wangmo." The man revealed his identity.
"It turned out to be an uncle," Zhao Hao bowed and arched his hand: "I don't know what to see?" ”
In fact, he knows that Ping Jiangbo is the deputy chief soldier of Caoyun, and Gu Huan, the chief soldier of Caoyun, is very old, and the Caoyun Group is basically what he has to say.
I moved other people's cakes, this is to ask the teacher to ask for guilt.
"I've heard the name for a long time, like thunder, a few of our old brothers want to invite our son to dinner, I don't know if I will appreciate it or not?" Chen Wangmo held his hands behind his back and squinted at people.
"It's really unfortunate that I have to go back to Suzhou tomorrow." Zhao Hao was too lazy to go to their Hongmen banquet, and he had nothing to say to these rotten nobles. "It's better to come to Jinling next time, from the next to the east, please enjoy the light."
"You!" Chen Wangmo didn't expect that he would dare not give himself face in public, so he lowered his face and said, "Don't be too crazy!" ”
"Uncle Shi." How could Xu Weizhi let the teacher be humiliated? Immediately stood up and said, "Grandfather, please calm down!" ”
"Hehe, I'm calm." The corners of Chen Wangmo's mouth twitched twice, his eyes crossed Xu Weizhi, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Since Zhao Gongzi doesn't have time, let's talk here." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and let the rest of the people go out of the shed first.
"Uncle, please speak." Zhao Hao nodded, and also asked Xiao Zhi to withdraw first.
Of course, Gao Wu will not leave an inch, otherwise if he doesn't talk about it, Zhao Gongzi is not a person.
Chen Wangmo didn't care, so he sat down on the chair next to Zhao Hao and said slowly: "Jiangnan Group's business is very big." ”
"It's just a mess." Zhao Hao smiled faintly.
"You've already made a lot of money in Jiangnan, isn't it a bit too much to cross the border again?" Chen Wangmo picked up an immortal fruit from the table, peeled off the shell and put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Hao was in no mood to play dumb riddles with him. These sons of Xungui are also frightening and scaring people, how terrible is a toothless tiger?
"You have taken our grain by sea and robbed us of our jobs!" Chen Wangmo gritted his teeth and said.
"On this topic, there has been enough arguing in the court." Zhao Hao raised his finger and motioned for him to shut up: "The Royal Sea is for Caoyun to fight fires, if Uncle feels that he has been robbed of his job, hurry up and help Pan Zhongcheng repair the canal, and restore Caoyun as soon as possible!" ”
"Hehe, Zhao Gongzi is pretending to be confused!" Chen Wangmo snorted coldly and said: "You know better than anyone that transporting grain to the imperial court is a money-losing business, and transporting goods to merchants from the north and south by the way is the real profit." Now all the goods that should go from the canal have been changed to sea transportation! And you're so cheap......"
As he spoke, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Even if Caoyun recovers, as long as you give them back the goods, there will still be a few merchants who are willing to find us to transport the goods!" ”
Zhao Hao really wanted to laugh out loud, but thinking that the next door was still crying, he couldn't hold back his laughter, looked at Chen Wangmo with a strange expression, and said, "Uncle, what are these words?" It's like the two of us are in the ring, and you say you can't move, otherwise I won't be able to beat you. How can a person with a little bit of decency say such a thing? When you encounter this kind of thing, shouldn't you find the reason from yourself? You also reduce the shipping cost, isn't it the end of it? ”
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" Chen Wangmo looked at Zhao Hao coldly, and said-for-tat with him: "Millions of workers are tied to food and clothing, and not a single child can be lowered!" ”
"So what?" Zhao Hao cocked Erlang's legs and dusted off the ashes on his white robe.
"I know that most of your head is overseas trade, and we will never be jealous of what you like to do and how you do it." Chen Wangmo slammed his fist on the tea table and said: "But don't mix with domestic freight, our well water does not interfere with river water, you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, how about it?" ”
"I'm sorry uncle, this piece of overseas is too unstable, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake." Zhao Hao shook his head slowly and said, "It's still a stable ...... from China."
What are you kidding, Zhao Gongzi still wants to launch the commercial revolution of the Ming Dynasty, how to stimulate the development of industry and commerce if the transportation capacity is not increased and the freight is reduced?
"Boy, don't you toast or eat and drink!" Chen Wangmo's eyes erupted with fire, and he glared at Zhao Hao like a cannibal.
"Hehe, I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless!" Zhao Hao finally couldn't suppress his anger, slapped the table and shouted: "Is there less of your Caoyun Group's three indiscriminate methods?" They have maliciously squeezed our Jiangnan Bank and colluded with the Japanese to attack our fleet. Why, did you forget about it after the turn of the year?! ”
"......" Chen Wangmo chuckled in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "That's the bad debt you have with Hengtong, what do you have to do with our Caoyun Yamen?" ”
"Don't admit yourself, do you?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but slap his palms and sneered: "Since it has nothing to do with you, how do you know about Hengtongji's collusion with the Japanese Kou?" ”
"Didn't you say that?" Chen Wangmo was a thief for a while, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, suffocating his arrogance, and then said in a muffled voice: "If you don't interrupt, just say yes or no?" ”
"You can't help but do the business of delivering to your door, I can't help it, uncle." Zhao Hao lifted the corners of his robe and slowly stood up.
"Then don't blame us for being polite." Chen Wangmo also got up, stared at Zhao Hao coldly and said: "The anger of millions of workers is something that you can't afford Jiangnan Group!" ”
"Alright, let's stop bragging." Zhao Hao laughed, glanced at him coldly and said, "Just let the horse come, the last account has not been settled with you, this time we have new hatred and old hatred together!" ”
"We'll see!" Chen Wangmo's lungs were about to explode, but he didn't expect the surname Zhao to be so arrogant, even more crazy than their honor!
"We'll see." Zhao Hao smiled and walked out of the shed, Gao Wu looked back at Chen Wangmo deeply, and followed out.
With a 'click', Chen Wangmo smashed the tea bowl and sat on the chair in anger and gasped.
"What, Lao Chen, didn't you bluff that kid?" Nan Hebo and Dongning Bo came in when they heard the sound, and their faces were not very good-looking when they saw this.
In fact, Chen Wangmo did have the meaning of scaring Zhao Hao this time. From the Ming Dynasty to this day, these hereditary titles of honor are used to bluff people.
I didn't expect that kid to be a bird, this is really bearable, unbearable!
"Damn, if you don't give him some color, he really doesn't know how thick the sky is!" Chen Wangmo gritted his teeth for a while, Fang gasped, but his eyes were fierce!
~~
Coming out of the Wei State Mansion, as soon as he got into the carriage, Zhao Hao instructed Gao Wu: "Contact that person and let him figure it out for me, what the hell is Chen Wangmo's gang going to do?" ”
Gao Wu nodded, got out of the car and gave the order.
On the same day, after Zhao Gongzi returned to Liuyun Mountain Residence, the security office raised the security level, and all the men in Caijia Lane ended their vacations and set up several lines of defense inside and outside the Mid-Levels Villa.
At the same time, the security department also notified the Okurayama management company and ordered them to also strengthen their vigilance to prevent anyone from committing crimes.
But in a crowded dining and entertainment venue like Okurayama, it is impossible to prevent a few troublemakers from mixing in.
As a result, that night, a green building by the Hibiscus Pond went out of the water. Fortunately, although the poolside pavilions are dense, they all have high horse-head walls, which play the role of isolating the source of the fire, and the fire extinguishing team has done their best to extinguish the fire, so the fire has not spread to the adjacent buildings.
Zhao Hao stood in the dark terrace of the villa in the middle of the mountain, looking at the raging fire under the mountain, the panicked crowd, and the people who were desperately fighting the fire, etc., the fire jumped in his eyes, but his voice was as cold as frost:
"These nobles are really the next ......"
"yes." Uncle Wu, who happened to be invited to Liuyun Mountain Residence as a guest, stood side by side with Zhao Hao, looked at the fire under the mountain and said: "This group of guys is relying on the shadow of their ancestors to do nonsense, and they have no king's law, isn't it the result of the imperial court always opening up to them?" ”
"Well......" Zhao Hao nodded, as Wu Shilai said, the reason why Chen Wangmo is so fearless is because the law of the imperial court has no justice at all, and under the premise of discussing relatives and nobles, there is no conclusive evidence, and it is impossible to pull a noble off the horse. Moreover, even if the nobles are convicted, the punishment can be commuted.
Xungui is a stinking thing like the clan, but the quantity is well controlled, and the harmfulness has not risen to the level of the latter.
Because unlike the clan, which has to be canonized as many times as possible, even if the title of hereditary replacement, only one person can choose from the children to inherit it, and the rest do not enjoy privileges. Otherwise, Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning would not have played out their brains in order to fight for the right to inherit the title.
"But their children's families can't discuss their relatives and nobles!" Zhao Hao sneered, clapped his hands, and asked the guards to bring up two large boxes.
"What is this?" Uncle Wu's eyes lit up.
"From Gu Huan to Chen Wangmo, as well as 1,000 complaints and charges from 16 Nanjing nobles such as Nanhe Bofu and Dongning Mansion, and their family members committed various adulterers." Zhao Hao said lightly.
"Huh?" Wu Shilai's eyes were about to fall. "Where did you get that?"
"Since you want to fight with the Caoyun Group, how can you not collect their black materials?" Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Wu should be reported by the masses." ”
