Chapter III. Sword Asks Beiyan 257.Past Life and Present Life (3)

Huayan is a mountain goods store that started by selling herbs and furs; However, due to the "Medicinal Material Yellow" from Jiankang City, there is a century-old plaque hanging at the door, and it has monopolized most of the You Fang Langzhong and internal and external medical halls many years ago, so although the medicinal material business is very profitable, Huayan Firm can only follow behind the Huang family and eat a little leftovers.

Therefore, the main goods with the highest profit margin of Huayan firm are rare goods produced on various rare birds and beasts, especially fur.

However, recently, Huayan Business is in a hurry to completely separate itself from Youbei Third Road, so the stable supply channel from Youbei Third Road is completely broken. However, after years of experience and beating, today's Zhou Shutong is no longer the little shaman who has never seen much of the world; Long before he announced that he was officially out of the control of shamanism, he began to contact a number of fur sources such as Xijiang, Mobei, and even Dashi as a backup supplier for Huayan Firm.

However, once the source changes, the quality of the fur will naturally fluctuate and change. Therefore, at present, Zhou Shutong is eager to carry out all-round in-depth cooperation with the wealthy family - Gusu Shen family, who monopolized the clothing and fabric business, so as to open up a business channel that completely belongs to the Zhou family.

Early one morning, Zhou Shutong, who used Hibiscus cream to consolidate the "curative effect", was like falling into the clouds and mist, enjoying the taste of fluttering immortals. After hearing the report of the subordinate in his ears, he opened his eyes and saw that the second son of the Shen family, who had been thinking about it for many days, really jumped out of his mind! In the face of the honor of traveling more than 400 miles for distinguished guests and visiting in person, Zhou Shutong immediately gave birth to the illusion of destiny!

The business of the Nankang Dynasty is well known to everyone, and this generation of the Gusu Shen family has a total of three young masters. The third master is still in the stage of reading and literacy, and he is not in charge; The uncle of the Shen family has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he has entered the imperial cabinet as an official when he was weak, and he has no interest in business; Therefore, all the business dealings of the Gusu Shen family have always been decided by the second master Shen Ang in front of him!

Zhou Shutong was moved by the benevolent and sensible Heavenly Father in his heart, only to feel a burst of happiness and dizziness in his brain, tears and snot flowing, and his lips couldn't stop trembling; With a pious pilgrimage heart, he opened his arms and waved his arms, and went straight to the holy envoy in his heart, Shen Erye, and flew away; And Shen Erye, who was on the other side, was also full of kindness and benevolence on his face, and he also opened his arms to himself, and at the moment when the two sides were about to hug each other and cry, he used a clean and neat trick of grassland wrestling - nose pulling!

Zhou Shutong had already made his hands and feet weak and vain in step in advance; Now that he was pushed and sent by the grassland wrestling technique of the second master of the Shen family, he immediately jumped forward as if he had taken off his hand and pierced the gun, and fell out of a sturdy dog gnawing mud!

It wasn't until Zhou Shutong fell to the ground with dizziness and blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he felt as if his ankle had been smashed into pieces by a huge stone falling from the sky, along with his fragile ankle bones!

Zhou Shutong, who was so painful that his scalp was numb and trembling all over, seemed to hear the second master of the Shen family muttering in a low voice before falling into a coma:

"Hey, I didn't expect this set of grassland wrestling taught by the Qi brothers to be really effective......

Although the shattered ankle bone does not involve mental problems, due to the recent period of time, the kind of depraved life full of poisons still completely hollowed out his early sturdy physique. He was first in a coma for three days because of the severe pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow; After waking up, I lay in bed and recuperated for nearly half a year, so I was barely able to walk independently!

As the so-called Saion loses his horse, he knows whether it is a blessing; Although Zhou Shutong's ankle bone has been completely shattered into bone slag; But because of this unwarranted disaster, he also found a loyal partner who would never leave him for the rest of his life and depend on him for life and death-crutch.

Since then, Huayan has lost a cheerful, enthusiastic, shrewd and capable owner; In his place is a cripple with gloomy eyes and an odd personality. After a long time, even Zhou Shutong, a rather nice name, has been gradually forgotten by the people of Nankang; The men of his own business called him the proprietor; And the subordinate in the house has always been his master; And those friends and business partners who gradually became estranged because of his drastic change in temperament all called him Zhou Kidnapper behind his back; As he became more and more unkempt, the title of Zhou Kidnapper slowly became a more smooth old crutch......

In fact, there are many people who are born with disabilities in this world, and there are not a few people who are injured the day after tomorrow, and no one will live a more comfortable life than him, but why is he the only one who will fall so completely?

Although the stall of the slope is unsightly, for a wealthy man who goes out to the sedan car, the impact is really not too big; So the real reason for being haunted and disgusted with the world is just a breath in my heart.

During the period of recuperation in bed, Lao Guan also repeatedly analyzed the cause of the whole thing. He had heard Shen Ang mention "Brother Qi", so he guessed that Second Master Shen's inexplicable behavior was instructed by Qi Geqi, the captain of the Twelve Shaman Guards!

After all, he has only made an enemy surnamed Qi in his life!

However, what is the identity of Second Master Shen? What is his Zigge status? There is an incomparably huge gulf between these two people, and they are not people of the same world at all. Even if you only put the names of the two together, you will insult the name of the Gusu Shen family! A poor ghost like Qi Geqi, not only has no power, no power, no money, but he doesn't even have a father, and he is a grassland barbarian who can't read a few big words, how can he climb up to Shen Ergongzi? Even if Li Xuanyu, the Heavenly Spirit Veiner, personally stepped out to make a deal in order to take revenge on himself; But what kind of price can that poor jingle noisy Youbei Third Road offer, and why can't a background like Shen Ergongzi resist the temptation?

Look, at this moment, the old crutch doesn't believe in any emotionally related stories anymore! He disdained all the so-called beliefs and ideals, the givings and gifts that were not in return; Because Zhou Shutong, or a businessman in the pure sense, is only willing to believe in pure interests and fair exchange of interests, these two business relationships.

Willing to give, give up first, and get last. Such a simple word, but they will never understand the true meaning of it.

It stands to reason that since I scratched my scalp, I didn't figure out the key; It's better to simply go directly to Gusu Shen's house to scold the street, and fight to the death to get back a reasonable explanation for his innocent and crippled legs!

So after he recovered from his foot injury, he really mustered up the courage to hire a master of the rivers and lakes and went to Gusu City with great fanfare; However, after shooting the door knocker for a long time, only a handsome young man with a sword appeared in the Shen family; Don't look at this child's young age, but he's very tight! He first swung a few swords in his hand, and then easily solved the one ticket of guards he hired at a high price; Then he slammed into the courtyard door with a "bang", and threw himself a dry "roll" through the high wall...... What kind of scholarly family is this!

According to Zhou Shutong's temper when he was young, although I can't beat you, I have to die in the hands of your Shen family! But now he has become an old crutch, so he was really bombarded back by Xiao Shen You's rolling word, where did he come from! Until many years later, when Shen Ang's son Shen Gui ended his life with his own hands, Lao Guan could not determine the real reason why Shen Er Ye had poisoned him for no reason......

In this way, this Zhou Shutong not only did not live to understand, but also died in a daze.

It wasn't until the old crutch dragged a stump leg and returned to Guangling City in a gray way that he realized that the door of the Shen family's mansion was not something that could be knocked on casually! Before he could fully digest the fatigue he had suffered along the way, the shopkeeper of the Shen family's cloaking shop had already written a complaint and sued his Huayan firm to the yamen.

This paper is logical, well-organized, full of pen power, and sprinkled; said that their Huayan business gang did not do business in an irregular manner, and they used shoddy tricks! said that they used the best winter leather to cover the top, covering a basket full of defective scraps below to ship, and defrauded the Shen family's clothing and hat store of the payment!

After listening to the dossier in public, the prefect of Guangling City and the villagers who stood on the jury felt that there was no controversy in this case, which could be said to be clear and well-founded, and there was no shortage of human and material evidence and circumstantial evidence; Even the entire set of evidence and pleadings have obviously been sorted out and labeled, and after the case is concluded, there is no need for the master to do it himself, and it can be directly sent to the file inventory.

And there is a visible gap in the strength of the lawyer group hired by the two sides. The lawyer team of the Shen family firm is all over sixty years old and has a lot of experience! Among these old men, the worst one, that is the Jinshi master from the second list, all of them can be called the protégés of the Son of Heaven; Among them, the old man who is the leader is an important minister of the cabinet of the former dynasty Dayan, and an erudite Confucian who has published books and biographies; Even the laws and regulations of the Nankang Dynasty and people participated in the drafting and compilation work!

As soon as this person appeared in the government office, the prefect who was in charge of adjudicating the case took off his official hat in front of everyone, knelt down in front of his old man and kowtowed three times, and kept saying that the master was the head of the seat and the teacher was short, and his attitude and wording were extremely modest.

And although Huayan Firm also hired the top lawyer team in Guangling City, when the prefect made a shocking sound and announced the opening of the trial, these usually high-spirited local lawyers couldn't even insert a tone particle.

With such a disparity in strength, how can Huayan Firm win this lawsuit?

After all, a businessman is a businessman, different from the Jianghu people who pay attention to the point and kill people too much; For example, if you don't die when you fight a tiger, but you are injured by a tiger, it will never happen to them!

Now that the Gusu Shen family has shown its fangs, there is no possibility of letting the old man go!
