The inner courtyard of Hongfu.

Hong Feng, the son of the Hong family, took the account book and pulled the abacus to calculate, and the more he calculated, the deeper his brows wrinkled.

"Dad, not only did we not earn any money on that horse this time, but we lost more than 7,000 taels of silver in addition to the expenses on the road, is it worth it for you to do this? Just to drive Liujia Horse Farm out of Yangzhou? ”

Hong Ping, the head of the Hong family, looked at the account book without being angry: "If you lose a few thousand taels of silver, you will lose a few thousand taels of silver, these are all petty fights, as long as the Liu family can't stay in Yangzhou, the big business is behind." ”

"However, since the Liu family dares to be called the richest man in Jiangnan, I am afraid that the loss of more than a thousand horses will not be taken into account, and it will be our Hong family who will be passive at that time."

Hong Ping shook his head with a smile: "No, even if the Liu family has a big business, it is impossible not to care about more than a thousand horses and hundreds of thousands of silver, once these thousand horses are smashed in their hands, the Liu family will also have to break their muscles and bones." ”

Even if Hong Feng is smart, he still doesn't have enough vision compared to the old fox who has been in the mall for a long time, as Hong Ping said, the Liujia Horse Farm is indeed anxious to the ants on the hot pot because of this thousand horses.

The forage of a thousand horses is all the best forage, and it is sold well, soybeans, etc., which are better than what people eat, and a few hundred taels of silver are consumed day by day.

"Dad, what if they also want to sell their horses, even if they lose, they won't lose so much silver?"

"No, they won't sell cheaply, and they don't dare to sell cheaply, if these good BMWs are sold cheaply this year, and the price of the horses in the coming year will be raised again, and no one will buy them, they will definitely hold the price."

"Young master, this is the Hong family in Yangzhou, one of the well-known gentry in Yangzhou."

Liu Mingzhi and the four of them rode on horses and arrived in front of Hong's house not long after.

"Uncle Ma, how is the head of the Hong family usually becoming?"

Ma Biao pondered for a while: "Young master, this Hong family's head Hong Ping is a well-known old fox in Yangzhou, and he is the most calculating. ”

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while: "Calculation? Willow pine. ”

"What's the matter, young master?"

Liu Mingzhi muttered in Liu Song's ear, Liu Song nodded frequently, turned the horse's head sideways and walked away.

Ma Biao looked at Liu Mingzhi suspiciously: "Young Master, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Mingzhi smiled mysteriously: "Since the head of the Hong family likes to calculate, let him mess up and knock on the door." ”

The three of them dismounted, and Ma Biao consciously took the lead in knocking on the door of Hongfu.

"Knock on it, urge it, do you know what kind of place this is?" A voice behind the door yawned and said indistinctly.

The door opens. A subordinate in a gray robe looked at the three of them dissatisfied: "Who are you?" What to do in Hongfu? This door is made of fine wood, can you afford to break it? ”

The subordinate looked at the three people outside the door arrogantly, and his tone was full of arrogance and domineering attitude.

Liu Mingzhi sneered: "What a big breath, just a Hong family, you really think that this is the seven-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, go and tell your master, Liu Mingzhi, the eldest son of a willow tree in the south of the Yangtze River, to visit." ”

"What is a willow and a poplar in the south of the Yangtze River, it is inconvenient for my lord, you can come back another day."

There was a crunch sound.

Liu Mingzhi shook his right hand: "Damn, a dog is a dog, his face is so thick, the master's hands are in pain." ”

The gray-robed man touched the corners of his mouth blindly, and the red blood stained his hands, which showed Liu Mingzhi's great strength.

"You..... You guys... If you dare to come to Hongfu to make trouble, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save you. ”

A crisp sound came again, and Liu Mingzhi looked at his subordinates gloomily: "The mouth is not clean, it is light to beat you, go and tell your master, a willow tree in Jiangnan will come to visit, and then dare to break your dog's legs." ”

The subordinate glanced at Liu Mingzhi timidly, and ran to report with a cower.

Ma Biao was a little worried: "Young master, come to visit, if you hit the Hong family's subordinates like this, it is equivalent to slapping the Hong family's face, I'm afraid that things will be difficult to discuss." ”

The corners of Liu Mingzhi's mouth smiled evilly: "If I don't fight, will the business be easy to talk about?" This is done to teach the subordinate a lesson, let him know what hospitality is and friendliness is the best, and secondly, to see if the Hong family's attitude can be eased. ”

"A willow in the south of the Yangtze River, a cloud in the northwest, the son of the Liu family came to visit, and the old man was rude."

Liu Mingzhi smiled indifferently at Ma Biao: "It's here." ”

The head of the Hong family was wearing cyan satin, wearing a foreign hat, his three-inch hair was cleanly repaired, and he opened the door with a smile to welcome Liu Mingzhi.

He was followed by Hong Feng, the son of the Hong family in purple clothes, and the subordinate who was slapped twice by Liu Mingzhi.

"Liu Mingzhi is a junior, how can he be the head of the Hong family and greet the son of Hong, it is really an honor, the Hong family is really a famous family, and the hospitality is really courteous."

As soon as the words fell, several people stood face to face.

Hong Ping, the head of the Hong family, looked at the young Liu Mingzhi scrutinically, and a momentum pressed up invisibly, and Liu Mingzhi looked at Hong Ping without dodging.

"Hahaha....... Liu Mingzhi is a young man, and the old man is polite. ”

"Huh....... The head of the Hong family should be strong and strong, and the younger generation is polite. ”

"Jiangnan Yijie Liu really lived up to his statement, and just arrived in front of my Hong family's door and beat my Hong family's subordinates, this is relying on the great cause of the Liu family's family to take our local gentry in their eyes."

Hong Ping's words were thorny, and he opened his mouth to question Liu Mingzhi's beating with an overwhelming attitude.

"The head of the Hong family is wrong to say this, the people of the Hong family don't understand it, there are guests who come to the door and actually look arrogant, bullying people, the younger generation teaches him to be a man, so that he understands a truth, the Hong family is the Hong family, the dog is the dog, as a dog, he only needs to wag his tail and beg for mercy when he sees the same guest as the owner, and wants the dog to fight the human power, and the junior pulled out his dog teeth."

Prince Hong glanced at the beaten subordinate: "Brother Liu, my Hong family's dog naturally has someone from my Hong family to discipline it, Brother Liu said that it is a little bit unreasonable to discipline the Hong family for my Hong family, when did the Hong family let an outsider call the shots." ”

"Well, Brother Hong's words are out of sight, the Liu family's Hong family is also a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, and it should be the same as the branch, representing the face of the Jiangnan gentry, your Hong family's dog bites people everywhere, but the face of the rich businessman in Jiangnan is bad, this is our own family to discipline you for you, if people in other places are just afraid of waving their sleeves and leaving, it will be the loss of Jiangnan's reputation, which will make people think that all the dogs of the Jiangnan gentry are like the Hong family, am I right?"

"You!" Hong Feng was speechless.

Liu Mingzhi's words are so vicious and ruthless, if he says that he shouldn't beat people is to put the Hong family on the opposite side of all the gentry in Jiangnan, once Liu Mingzhi publicizes it, the Hong family will be embarrassed.

If Liu Mingzhi is said to be disciplined well, he will lose in momentum.

Ma Biao looked at Liu Mingzhi's words in amazement, the master of the Hong family was speechless, thinking that the young master's arrival was just a small fight, but he didn't expect that he would crush the Hong family.

Qi Yun also chuckled, this Liu Mingzhi's misinterpretation of right and wrong is really dazzling and unexpected.

Hong Ping glanced at Liu Mingzhi meaningfully: "Since Liu Gongzi has come to the door, you might as well come in and sit down." ”
