Chapter 15: Zheng Xing's vicious brother is injured
After taking care of the yard, Du Chengfeng planned to go back to Dujia Village first, and he had to explain to Uncle Dazhu.
In the future, he will pull the produced fairy wine to the new courtyard of his Chang'an City and store it, so that the assistant fairy wine will become more mellow.
Here Du Chengfeng was rushing back to Dujia Village with great interest, not knowing that another thing that made him angry was waiting for him.
It turned out that Steward Qian and a few entourages returned from Dujia Village and fled back to the Zheng Mansion in embarrassment to report to the eldest young master.
Zheng Xingzheng fantasized about the appearance of making gold every day after getting the fairy wine process, and his face was intoxicated and beaming. Happily in his study and a few pretty girls are chasing and playing.
When he heard the servant's report that Steward Qian had returned, he walked out in a hurry and saw that Steward Qian and a few of his attendants who had gone with him were all miserable.
"What's going on!" Seeing that his own people were seriously injured, Zheng Xing was furious.
"Back to the eldest young master, that Du Chengfeng is really too faceless, not only refused to cooperate, but also beat a few of us like this, he also threatened Childe to let Childe stop the idea of fairy wine, otherwise he will be polite!" One of the attendants replied tremblingly.
"What! A villager in the mountains and wilderness dared to beat me, I really don't know whether to live or die! Zheng Xing was furious after hearing this, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Thinking that he was the dignified young master of the Zheng family, he was actually ignored by a mountain villager, and even made threats, which is really a great shame.
"Steward Qian, didn't you explain to him what I meant?" Zheng Xing asked angrily.
In his opinion, as long as he moves out of his identity, a mountain villager will definitely be jealous, and he will naturally obediently hand over the winemaking process.
Steward Qian raised his body with difficulty when he heard this, endured the severe pain, and said with a sigh of relief: "Back to the eldest young master, we said it, it was useless." As soon as that kid heard your name, young master, he did it directly, and the minions' ribs were kicked off a few times. Big young master, that kid is not an ordinary person, and the slave estimates that more than a dozen people can't get close to him. ”
After Steward Qian finished speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then said, "I'm sorry, young master, it's useless to be a slave, and I've disappointed you." However, the servant inquired about a useful news: that kid had bought a large amount of turbid wine in Chang'an City these days, and now there was a villager named Du Dazhu who was in charge of buying turbid wine in Chang'an City. That kid couldn't have a wine-making order issued by the imperial court, so the slave estimated that the fairy wine must have been processed from a large amount of turbid wine that the kid bought. ”
"Is this news true?" Zheng Xing's eyes lit up, and a perfect plan quickly flashed in his mind.
Datang has a law that stipulates that private brewers must have a winemaking order issued by the government, otherwise it is a crime. There is absolutely no way that kid will have a wine-making order, so he can only purchase a large amount of cloudy liquor for processing.
Although I don't know how that kid processed the turbid wine into fairy wine like elixir and jade liquid.
But as long as he controls the source of turbid wine in Chang'an City and cuts off the supply of raw materials for immortal wine, he doesn't believe that Du Chengfeng will be uncompromising.
When the time comes, it will not be him, Young Master Zheng has the final say, Zheng Xingmei thought to himself.
"Back to the eldest young master, the news is true!" Steward Qian said weakly.
"Good! I see, you guys go down and heal! After the matter is completed, Young Master Ben will not treat you badly, this time let Young Master Ben personally go out. Zheng Xing said proudly.
The mood suddenly became better again, and he seemed to see Du Chengfeng wagging his tail and begging beside him again.
"Thank you, young master, then let's go down first." After speaking, Steward Qian and a few entourages supported each other to find a doctor.
After Steward Qian left, Zheng Xing immediately sent someone to call several proprietors who brewed and sold turbid liquor in Chang'an City to his study.
He didn't believe that with his identity and status, he couldn't cure a mountain villager.
It didn't take long for several proprietors in Chang'an City to brew and sell turbid liquor hurriedly came to Zheng Xing's study.
There is no way, the one in front of him is the eldest son of the Zheng family, and I heard that he is still the nephew of a noble concubine in the court.
Coupled with its own outstanding ability, it is deeply respected. Even if they didn't want to, they had to come.
Several owners glanced at each other, looking at each other's suspicious expressions, as if they didn't know why Young Master Zheng suddenly sent someone to call them all. I could only stand on the side of the study in fear, waiting for Zheng Xing to speak.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Zheng Xing squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Several, straight to the point, I don't want to go around the bend, Young Master Ben wants to know, is there a young man named Du Chengfeng or a middle-aged man named Du Dazhu who has bought a large amount of turbid wine from you in the past few days." ”
"This ......," several proprietors hesitated in unison. After all, as a businessman, we still have this professional ethics if we don't disclose the privacy of our guests.
"Whether there is such a thing or not, you have to think clearly, your brewing order is in the hands of my father, if you don't cooperate, you have to think about the consequences." Zheng Xing said fiercely, his eyes glanced fiercely at several people, and snorted heavily.
Several owners were suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, this was a naked threat, but there was nothing they could do.
Several of them are small families, making a living by brewing turbid liquor, and if the government takes back the wine-making order, they will all have to drink the northwest wind.
Thinking of this, several people looked at each other again and nodded tacitly.
"Back to Young Master Zheng, this is indeed the case, and every time he almost buys out the turbid wine in our store, he is very generous, and he never bargains." An owner surnamed Zhao was the first to stand up and replied.
"Okay, then from today onwards, without the permission of Young Master Ben, no one is allowed to sell a jar of turbid wine to Du Chengfeng's kid, understand?" Zheng Xing commanded unscrupulously.
After hearing this, several people tacitly glanced at each other, handed over their looks, and the proprietor surnamed Zhao stood up and asked, "Young Master Zheng, can we ask why?" If the young master does this, won't he cut off people's money. ”
Zheng Xing frowned, he didn't expect that these people didn't give themselves face, and they were about to have a seizure, but after thinking about it, the surname Zhao seemed to have a point.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Xing smiled slyly: "Several of them are connoisseurs, but have you ever heard of the fairy wine sold in Wangjiang Tower." ”
Immortal wine, of course I have heard it, several people nodded at the same time. Not to mention that several of them have drunk it, and it is indeed immortal wine.
In the past few days, the fame of fairy wine has been thunderous in Chang'an City, and as peers, how could they not have heard of it.
I have also inquired in many ways, but I don't know what to do, listening to what Young Master Zheng means, is there anything greasy in this.
"To tell you the truth, the fairy wine was given to Wangjianglou by Du Chengfeng for sale. And at the same time, he bought a large amount of turbid wine in several of you, several of them are insiders, you should know that there is no wine-making order for the imperial court to allow private wine-making, not to mention that he is a mountain villager, and several of them are smart people, can't he think of any mysteries? To whom is this money not earned? Zheng Xing hinted with a sneer.
Hearing Zheng Xing say this, several people smelled a smell of conspiracy at the same time.
Several people are from the past, how can they not understand the little Jiujiu in Young Master Zheng's heart, but it is just inconvenient to break it.
"I don't know what Young Master Zheng means? If there is anything that needs the cooperation of a few of us, please make it clear to the young master, we will listen to the young master Zheng. A proprietor surnamed Liu asked with understanding under the gesture of several other people.
"Very well, then I'll make it clear." Zheng Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You few join forces, without my permission, you are not allowed to sell turbid wine to Du Chengfeng, at that time, that kid has no source of turbid wine, so he has to come to ask us to cooperate, I will force him to hand over the wine-making process, and then I will not forget the benefits of a few people, a few people have understood." ”
Several proprietors secretly said: How can there be anything that you don't understand, it's nothing more than that Young Master Zheng looks at the interests of the popular family and pulls them into the water together. But where could they fight Zheng Xing, who had a strong background, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.
"Good! Those who know the times are junjie, and several of them are smart people, go back and arrange it! Zheng Xing said contentedly, waved his hand, and motioned for his subordinates to send them out.
After that, Uncle Dazhu saw that there was not much turbid wine in the workshop, so he took a few villagers to Chang'an City to buy turbid wine.
As a result, without exception, all of them ran into a wall, and even a few people were beaten by Zheng Xing's entourage who happened to come when they were buying turbid wine in Liu Dong's store, but fortunately they were only skin injuries and not too serious.
Zheng Xing heard the results of the report from his entourage in the study, and laughed loudly, with a posture of being in his chest, as if everything was under control.
What he didn't know, however, was that it was his ignorance and arrogance that led to his own greater disasters and tragedies.
Du Chengfeng returned to Dujia Village happily, and was thinking about making arrangements with Uncle Dazhu, but saw Aunt Chunhua crying and greeting her, and Grandpa Du also stood aside with a sad face, lonely and old.
"Chengfeng baby, you are back, come and see your Uncle Dazhu." Aunt Chunhua saw Du Chengfeng coming back, as if she had seen the backbone of the Lord, and said with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Du Chengfeng twitched his heart and asked worriedly.
"You go and ask your Uncle Dazhu to know." Aunt Chunhua sobbed.
It seemed that something was wrong, Du Chengfeng hurriedly ran to Grandpa Du's house like a gust of wind, and saw Uncle Dazhu lying on the bed, his face was blue and purple, and there was a dry blood stain on his forehead.
"Uncle Dazhu, what's going on, tell me quickly!" Du Chengfeng was furious, he didn't expect that he had only been out for a few hours, and Uncle Dazhu would be beaten like this.
"Alas! Beaten up. This morning, I saw that there was not much turbid wine in the workshop, so I thought about taking a few to Chang'an City to buy a batch of turbid liquor back, who knew that those shops seemed to be discussed, and none of them were sold to us, and finally I met the entourage of Lord Yin Zheng's family, and it was those entourage who injured several of us. He also threatened us to hand over the brewing process to them as soon as possible, or else you would be responsible for the consequences. Your eldest brother was also injured, so go and take a look. Uncle Dazhu sighed and told Du Chengfeng the cause of the incident in one by one.
