Chapter Forty-Seven: Knocking the Stick

"The most hateful thing is that the kid from the Wu family was not only not imprisoned, but also talked everywhere, saying that sooner or later our Fang family would go bankrupt, it was really wishful thinking......

"Huh? What did you say? Fang Zheng was about to continue walking, and when he heard this, he turned his head violently, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

"Damn the villain! The villain is talkative! Xiao Wu saw that Fang Zheng's expression was different, and he immediately regretted his words. It has only been a long time since he was promoted to a senior companion reading boy, and he chewed his tongue in front of the young master, and the typical "give three points of color and open a dyeing room", isn't this looking for smoking.

"Don't be damned yet, you say, that kid from the Wu family wants our Fang family to go bankrupt?" Fang Zheng squinted slightly, and asked in an unkind tone, his expression was a bit of the calm before the storm.

"Yes, many people in the capital know that on the day you just woke up, young master, this kid drank too much in the Drunken Immortal Building, slapped the table and said wildly, and the words spread like this, and the villain just heard about it." Xiao Wu looked at Fang Zheng's face and said cautiously.

Fang Zheng felt a fire of anger burning in his chest.

Damn it! I've seen arrogance, but I've never seen such arrogance. If you don't come to the door to apologize for beating someone, you still want me to go bankrupt, isn't this ruining my job? It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

From the day he crossed over, Fang Zheng set a clear goal for himself: not to be an official, not to disperse the king, all he wants is to be a young master who has food, drink and money. This goal may be very unambitious for others, but Young Master Fang likes it.

In terms of the Fang family's wealth, this goal has been achieved, and Fang Zheng is also enjoying such a life. He has no ambitions, and when his father retires in the future, he plans to keep this property with peace of mind, and then marry a few wives, become a rich man, and live this life plainly.

As for the protagonists in the novel, they are busy inventing fire, inventing steam engines, and inventing muskets and artillery as soon as they cross over...... To hell with it! The young master doesn't have that much to work for, and greedy for enjoyment is his highest ideal.

Now that someone wants to make his ideals go to waste, Fang Zheng is really annoyed now. If the Fang family is finished, what will he do? Going to the street for food? Not to mention that his father suffered such a big grievance for him.

That kid from the Wu family had to teach him a hard lesson, not only for himself, but also for his father. Although Fang Zheng knew that the kid of the Wu family was just talking about it, the Fang family's current industry was now all over the south of the Yangtze River, like a huge aircraft carrier, how could it be said that it could be overturned?

But it can't be said that he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid that the thieves will worry about him, and if he is not afraid, who knows what tricks he will play in the future.

"Xiao Wu, do you know, what is the background of the Wu family?" Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, since you plan to make a move, the plan must be set carefully, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

"Background? What background can he have in the Wu family? Xiao Wu pouted disdainfully: "It's nothing more than using silver to maintain the relationship with the government, if there is really a good one, the government won't care if he lives or dies." ”

Well, this also makes sense, the predecessor was almost killed by that kid, didn't the government help the Fang family get ahead. After all, the status of businessmen in this era is not high. In the eyes of those who are officials, businessmen are profit-seeking, synonymous with treacherous and cunning, with this cognition, how can officials help businessmen get ahead?

This is good news, on the other hand, the kid of the Wu family is unlucky, and most of the government doesn't pay much attention to it. As for that Lord Yin Chen of Jinling Mansion, he didn't want to pick it out, this young master of Qiu Ben could be regarded as having written it down.

"Xiao Wu, what does that kid usually do after eating in the Drunken Immortal Building? It's so early, shouldn't you go home and sleep? "If he really went home to sleep, he would have to do it today.

"How can it, this kind of rich son, after eating and drinking, of course, he is taking advantage of the wine to visit the kiln."

There's a play! Fang Zheng was a little excited: "Oh? Do you know which kiln he often goes to? ”

Xiao Wu said without thinking: "Of course it's Qionghualou, just go through the alley across the street." Last time, I fought with the young master for the pink girl in the Qionghua Building, this kid played a black hand and won you with despicable means, and now the freshness has not passed, and he is fighting with the pink girl. ”

Peach...... Pink? Depend on! What is the taste of his predecessor? Just listening to this name is vulgar enough.

Young Master Fang's eyes flickered, and he thought about it.

Fang Zheng quietly ordered: "Xiao Wu, this is not far from home, you hurry back, call a few nurses, remember to pick the kind of person with good skills and clever brains, and quietly come here to find me, by the way, this matter can't be publicized, don't let my father and my mother know, go and go back quickly!" ”

Xiao Wu quickly disappeared into the night.

Fang Zheng squatted alone at the entrance of the alley, staring at the restaurant on the opposite street vigilantly. Although it was early summer, the weather was still a little cold after nightfall, Fang Zheng tightened the neck of his long shirt, and couldn't help but shiver. Watching the diners of the restaurant on the opposite street come and go, there is an endless stream, and my heart is very angry.

Damn it! You drink wine and eat meat inside, but Lao Tzu is standing outside like a deflated three, everyone is a young master, and the same person has the same fate. When I come out, I won't make you cry and call your mother, and the young master will have your surname.

The taste of waiting for others is very uncomfortable, especially in the situation of cold and hunger, it is even more difficult. Fang Zheng counted silently in his heart, and read it until five hundred, when Xiao Wu finally came.

There were five people behind Xiao Wu, led by a tall man, in his thirties, with a beard on his face, Fang Zheng recognized him, he was the head of the Fang Mansion, named Zheng Zhan, who was taciturn, but he had a lot of ability under his hands.

Zheng Cheng is a northerner, when he was eighteen years old, there was a famine in his hometown, he and his mother fled to the capital, and then his mother fell ill, it happened that Master Fang passed by, and sent twenty taels of silver to his mother to see a doctor, but unfortunately in the end his mother's illness was not cured, and finally let go of it for more than a month. Zheng Zhan had no bonds, and felt the grace of Master Fang to help him in danger, so he worshiped under the door of Fang's house, Zheng Zhan practiced kung fu with a monk in distress in his early years, and his Shaolin Tongjian was quite popular, so Master Fang let him be the head of Fang's house.

The four people who came with Zheng Zheng, Fang Zheng vaguely knew each other, seeing that they were sturdy, shrewd and capable, although they were not as "high and bulging temples" as described in martial arts novels, their demeanor was full of vigor, presumably they were all the Fang family's nursing homes. It is said that this old man Fang is quite thoughtful, and he quietly recruited so many Jianghu men who have real chapters under his hands.

Fang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Brother Zheng, why are you here in person?" ”

Zheng Yan is not good at words, and when he heard this, he just pulled the corners of his mouth to show that he had laughed.

Seeing Zheng Zheng playing cool, Fang Zheng had no choice but to clench his fists at the four people behind him, and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that all of you heroes are strong in martial arts and famous in the world. ”

This bullshit opening made the four "heroes" behind Zheng Cheng bend down again and again to salute in return, so polite that they are like polite and elegant gentlemen, how can there be any shadow of "people in the rivers and lakes".

One of the slightly shorter men said with a smile: "I heard that the young master has something to call urgently, and the little brothers hurriedly came with Zheng Tou'er. ”

"Be polite, you don't have to go to the soup and go to the fire, it's not that difficult, just help me knock on the stuffy stick and scare and scare people."

"Ha, robbing the road, I said it earlier, this is the old business of our brothers." The short man has an expert expression of "specialization in the art industry".

"Huh?" Fang Zheng was taken aback, he couldn't see that his father was such a businessman, and he had such a dark side, and the nursing home at home had actually been a bandit and robber. The Fang family really has a bit of the meaning of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The short man explained proudly: "Don't hide it from the young master, ten years ago, our brothers did a few businessless transactions in the north, and after a few days of drinking in a big bowl and sharing money, we were blind and robbed the lord of a red goods, Zheng Touer found the mountain single-handedly, and beat our group of dozens of people down, and our brothers followed Zheng Touer into the Fang family with ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Yan glared at him, and the short man smiled, touched his nose and stopped talking.

Zheng Zhan turned his head and said to Fang Zheng: "Don't mention the past, what the young master plans to do, the villain will definitely support you." ”

Fang Zheng came back from the shock, and was vaguely uneasy in his heart, is it a bit inappropriate for Dad to recruit these thieves to be the nurses? The fruit seller changed his career to sell pesticides, can he sell well? In case he gets used to eating and stealing......

Hey, when has it been, why are you so out of tune? Fang Zheng shook his head and instructed everyone: "It's very simple, when that kid comes out of the restaurant, please trouble Brother Zheng to bring someone up, knock him out with a stick first, and then take him to a deserted wilderness, young master, I have to treat him well today." ”

After speaking, he pretended to be hideous and laughed while pinching his finger bones, his knuckles were a little uncompetitive today, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and the deliberately cultivated atmosphere of slaughter was greatly reduced.

The short man was obviously a talkative master, so he couldn't help but speak again: "Listen to Xiao Wu, that kid is the idea that caused the young master to faint for more than a month?" ”

"What do you mean by pips?" Fang Zheng is a little uncomfortable with the way people in the rivers and lakes speak.

"Hehe, I can't change my mouth, this is black talk, that kid is the murderer who caused you to faint for more than a month, right?"

"That's right, I took the opportunity to clean him up today. Also, young master, I haven't been killed by him yet, I can only say that he is the perpetrator, and it doesn't seem appropriate to call the murderer......"

"It's long overdue! The young master is happy to take revenge, and he really has the demeanor of a person in my rivers and lakes! The short man wasted no time in giving a gentle slap.

"Really?" Young Master Fang was patted and smiled: "I want to practice kung fu for a few days, can I rank up in the rivers and lakes?" For example, the jade-faced flying dragon, a pear tree pressing a begonia or something......"

"......" Everyone was silent, and rationally pretended not to hear the young master's self-conscious remarks.

A few people squatted in the corner of the wall, watching the movement of the restaurant closely, waiting for the Wu Gongzi to come out with a full meal and drink.

This scene Fang Zheng seems to be a little familiar, he used to squat at the gate of the school, accompanying his classmates and waiting for his favorite girl to get out of school, isn't it like this. No wonder I squatted so smoothly, if I took a cigarette in my mouth, it would be even more like.

"Young Master, how many of them ...... In fact, it's not bad, I used to do business without capital and was forced to do it out of desperation......" Zheng Zheng seemed to see the faint uneasiness in Fang Zheng's heart, and made a defense.

"Well, Brother Zheng, I believe in you, thank them for helping me when today's business is done. As for the master, if he doesn't know, let's not say anything about it, and if he knows, you will push it on me and not embarrass you. ”

"Everyone has a share, and since we are here today, we don't want to take ourselves out." Zheng Zhan smiled rarely, and his tone was flat.

Before Fang Zheng could say anything, Xiao Wu spoke up: "Young master, that kid is out." ”

Everyone looked across the street, and saw that Wu Gongzi was swaying out of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper nodded and went straight to the door, and when he went out, Wu Gongzi turned right and entered a dark alley.

When the time was ripe, Fang Zheng quietly glanced at Zheng Zhan, Zheng Zhan nodded knowingly, and waved his hand to lead the four courtyards through the street leisurely and walked towards the alley.

Today is obviously not a lucky day for Wu Gongzi, and Wu Gongzi is in a bad mood.

Wu Gongzi was born in a family of merchants, the Wu family talked about wealth, slightly inferior to the Jinling Fang family, and the business was always pressed by the Fang family due to poor management and many other reasons, so the old man Wu was forced to have no choice but to expand the business to the south, and the cost was invested a lot, but he didn't expect that the luck was too back, just happened to meet the rebellion of the southern Jiaozhi country, the rebels occupied Wuzhou, and looted the shops in the city, and one-third of the Wu family's wealth was lost. - There is no insurance company in these years, and there is no other way to be stolen and robbed than to think that I am unlucky.

This is so angry that Master Wu is enough, and even Wu Gongzi has eaten a lot of Daddy's headlines. Wu Gongzi was depressed and went to the Qinglou to get drunk, but he met Fang Zheng's predecessor, and new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, so he used the black hand to push him downstairs.

Wu Gongzi thought that he had made a meritorious contribution to the Wu family, and he ran to Mr. Wu to express his merits, but in exchange for a slap in the face of Mr. Wu, when he pulled him straight to the Jinling Mansion and gave a large stack of thick silver tickets to Lord Yin Chen, Lord Chen pressed the Fang family's complaint against the white silver, and the matter was barely settled.

Half a year has passed, and the Wu family's business is now deteriorating, after Fang Zheng's accident, Master Fang had no way to sue, and in a fit of anger, he united with other businesses in Jinling City to suppress the Wu family's business indiscriminately. The Wu family has declined from the second richest merchant in Jinling to the second- and third-rate merchant today, but this consequence was what the Wu family father and son did not expect at the beginning.

Today, Master Wu didn't know what to lose, and found a reason to scold Wu Gongzi fiercely, Wu Gongzi was depressed, and ran to the Drunken Immortal Building alone to drink and buy drunk, and planned to vent today's depression on Taohong later. - Tie her to the head of the bed and abuse her wantonly, maybe a good way to vent. Wu Gongzi smiled and felt much better.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

When walking in the middle of the dark alley, Wu Gongzi suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and an ominous premonition arose, people's alertness is innate, and when he felt that something was wrong, he immediately turned around and walked back without hesitation.

Wu Gongzi's vigilance was correct, and it was also correct to turn back, the only thing that was incorrect was that he reacted too late.

At the entrance of the alley, they were blocked by three tall shadows, and behind them, they also quietly approached the two.

Looking at the situation in front of him, it can be said that the comers are not good, Wu Gongzi is not a fool, of course he knows that they are coming for himself.

He calmed down and said calmly: "What advice do you have for all the heroes? ”

He was answered by a slap on the back of the head, and then he was dragged like a dead dog into a carriage out of town......
