Chapter 130: The Tree Falls and Is Still Fierce

Zhao Xiu knew how big the amount of money he carried with him every time he came back from Tianjin, although the money had been deposited in the bank, which was inextricably linked with Xu Tianbiao in Dongchang, for the rich businessmen of Tianjin Wei. It is already a semicolon in Tianjin.

As soon as he got off the carriage, the acquaintance in front of Huifeng Building smiled and pointed to the wine shop opposite and said:

"Steward Zhao, Jiang Ye is in the opposite room, and a guest is coming."

Since the courtyard and wing rooms behind Huifeng Tower were transformed into chic elegant seats, Jiang Feng only found an empty courtyard between morning and lunch, and spent most of the rest of his time in the wine shop, although it is now called "Tiger Cave" by the people in Nancheng.

Nodding at Zhike, Zhao Xiucai turned around and walked to the wine shop opposite, followed by more than a dozen iron dings who began to sort out the harness with laughter, and the coachman drove the carriage to a large courtyard nearby, which was the place where the recently demolished houses were parked and bolted.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Xu Tianbiao walking out of it with a gloomy face, Jiang Feng also had no smile on his face, Xu Tianbiao saw Zhao Xiucai, he naturally knew what Zhao Xiucai brought when he came back from Tianjin, turned around and whispered to Jiang Feng and said:

"Now go to the money village on South Street to handle the bills, Huicai money village is the property of Grandpa Xu in Nanjing, there will be no problem."

Jiang Feng agreed, Xu Tianbiao was just about to get on the horse, but he suddenly sighed, turned around and patted Jiang Feng's shoulder, got on the horse and left.

"Go and deposit the silver, and the treasurer of the money bank will exchange it for a silver ticket for you, and come back here quickly after you are done, there is something important."

By the time Zhao Xiucai returned to the wine shop, Zhang Liang, the eldest of the Ma brothers, Wang Qinian and Tie Ding's Luo Yi were already in the house, Jiang Feng had been in high spirits since he had a sea ship business, no matter who he talked to, his face was full of spring breeze, but today his face was very gloomy.

Jiang Feng's words were very direct, and he stood up and said:

"Just now, there was news from hundreds of households in Dongchang that Zhang Gonggong had a stroke and was paralyzed last night."

This sentence is like a thunderbolt in the ears of these people in the house, they are Jiang Feng's cronies, they all know that they are making money, fighting and causing trouble are extremely good who is the backstage of Master Jiang, speaking of which, Hui Fenglou has caused countless troubles in the Jingshi, and what he has done in the past year has hundreds of heavily armed family members at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there is a fleet of nearly ten big ships at sea, these things are nothing if someone shelters, but there is no backstage, if someone wants to find trouble, it is a capital crime.

The faces of the people around him were full of shock, Jiang Feng glanced around, and continued to speak:

"Lao Zhao, I will send you the profit money today, and everyone is about 1,000 taels of silver."

Hearing this amount, the expressions on the faces of several people who are qualified to share the money have not changed, the money in their hands has been unimaginable in the past year, but now it is always a little awkward to hear Jiang Feng's words, Zhang Liang is the closest person, and he can't help but ask:

"Master, we don't need to go out of Beijing by horse now, so as not to be found at night to raid the house and destroy the door."

This very cold joke made the people around laugh, Jiang Feng scolded "stinky boy" with a smile, felt that his mood was also relaxed, and said:

"All in all, this matter of Zhang Dugong is not a catastrophe for us, but we must also be prepared, we have finally made such a big fortune, you each go and clean up the things at hand, and those who have families will send people to Tianjin Wei's manor to live for a few days."

Zhao Xiu was the last person to leave this room, Jiang Feng looked at the silver tickets on the table, a total of 15,000 taels, Zhang Liang took 2,000 taels of silver and sent it to Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this is a common practice in the past eight or nine months, but these silver coins, only he and Zhang Liang know.

went out to maintain the operation of the restaurant, the fleet, and the manor, and the silver in Jiang Feng's hand was in a skin bag close to his body, which was extremely flat, and there were not many things in it, fifteen thin pieces of paper, 10,000 taels each, and the silver tickets exchanged by the north and south of Huicai Qianzhuang.

This amount can be said to be an astonishing wealth, not including the current turnover in the fleet and the silver taels in various businesses, if you count the money that Jiang Feng now has is nearly 200,000 taels, this figure is probably close to one billion in modern times, will it just disappear?

For thousands of years, whether it is ancient or modern, whether it is China or a foreign country, the wealth without power protection will soon disappear in the wind and rain, although he also used money to make Lu Bing establish a relatively close relationship with the commander, but this is only in terms of money, and it is convenient in the system in the common benefits, after all, this commander who is three years older than himself has only a relationship between Lu Bing and himself. Unlike Zhang Yong, the relationship that is already close to the ancestors and grandchildren was exchanged for the life of the father of this body.

Now he has a faintly No. 1 restaurant in the capital, as well as four or five restaurants and teahouses that seem to be ears and eyes, a fleet of ships that attract wealth and treasure at sea, and a Tie Ding who is only a hundred people, but equipped with the most advanced weapons of this era, and the most outstanding officers in the Ming Empire have carefully trained him and are loyal to him.

Zhang Yong was already considered an advanced age in the Ming Dynasty, and he had been a horse for many years, and he had suffered a lot of illnesses, Jiang Feng knew in his heart that there would be no miracle to make this old man who was called the 'Tiger Distance Jingshi' healthy, but could the career in his hands be taken away by others because of the old man's stroke, Jiang Feng took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed it fiercely on the table.

Uncle still has knives and fists in his hands! He said to himself viciously.

In the evening, the Su sisters took the account book and stayed in an inn in the south of the city, and the cars of Old Man Li's car shop were already waiting here, and as soon as the city gate was opened, the two sisters would go to the house that Jiang Feng bought in Tianjin Wei, where Jiang Feng's industry was not known except for iron eggs.

Jiang Feng, who has experience, did not say what happened this time, but just said that he wanted Su Guanxue to see the sea and save him from being at home every day.

The next day, the news that Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Twelfth Regiment Battalion, had suffered a stroke and hemiplegia spread throughout the capital, and in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it was already possible to determine that a person had completely lost his ability to move, and this disease had not been solved even in modern times.

On this day, although the business of Huifeng Mansion was still good, some officials with grades did not appear on the list of guests, and unexpectedly, Li Hechun and Xiang's father-in-law still came here to eat on time, and they were not affected in the slightest. However, Jiang Feng's attention was no longer on this.

The position of the commander of the 12th regiment battalion and the imperial horse supervisor is extremely important, the main position is the eunuch, and the deputy position is the tradition of the nobles has continued for many years, but after the eunuchs in the main positions cannot be directors, there is absolutely no possibility of the nobles to be corrected, and the nobles who have no control in their hands and have military power are too likely to threaten the imperial power.

Therefore, the palace reacted quickly, the eunuch Huang Ping, the eunuch of the imperial horse superintendent, and the old man of the Jiajing Emperor in the Xingxian palace were appointed as the commander of the 12th regiment battalion, and the news spread faster, and now everyone is clear that Zhang Yong's prestige in the capital is gone.

At this time, Jiang Feng didn't have so many scruples, and at noon he rode a horse to the old mansion of the Marquis of Changning, and now that he thinks about it, when Zhang Yong returned to the capital, he may have expected that he would not live too long, so he didn't think about any mansion at all, and he has been living in a mansion that is not commensurate with his official title.

The snub at the door is not too surprising, it has been the case in all dynasties, the eunuchs in power have no family to hereditary and cultivate, and the glory and wealth are often concentrated in his generation, as long as he dies of old age, the relationship and power network run by this person will quickly fall apart.

As long as Jiang Feng is in the capital, he will always come to Zhang Yong's house several times a month, since he was scolded for sending silver, he is to send some local products from all over the world and Huifeng Lou's own carefully made food, Zhang Yong's age is very willing to be with a young man like Jiang Feng, and the eunuch who has no children and nephews treats Jiang Feng with family affection.

The one who came out to receive Jiang Feng was still the second master Zhang of Mu Ne, Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan is also the title of an earl, but everyone knows that Zhang Yong's current state, his title of earl is worthless, and the Zhang family has only been restored for less than a year, and it is about to be ruined.

However, Zhang Erye's expression was still wooden, although it could be seen from his eyes that he was very flustered, but he didn't know how to be good, just simply panicked and didn't know how to deal with it, Jiang Feng sighed secretly in his heart, and some words of comfort couldn't be said, when he came to Zhang Yong's bed, several maids surrounded the side to serve, the old man no longer had the wisdom and prestige he had before, saliva flowed down his open mouth uncontrollably, the maid hurriedly wiped it off with a white hand towel, and Zhang Yong's eyes looked at the top of the bed blankly.

Second Master Zhang hurriedly leaned over and shouted loudly in Zhang Yong's ear:

"Brother, brother, Jiang Feng has come to see you, I have come to see you!!"

Jiang Feng was in a very gloomy mood when he walked out of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Yong seemed to be still conscious, but his body was completely incapable of making corresponding movements, maybe it was better to die now, so as not to continue to suffer such pain, Jiang Feng was also clearly aware that the big tree he was relying on was about to fall.

When he was about to go out, Zhang Yuan and Second Master Zhang, who had not said anything, seemed to have just remembered, stopped Jiang Feng, took out the black iron ring on Zhang Yong's finger, and said resignedly:

"My brother said that if he can't do it, he will give this to you, saying that the glory and wealth are all on this, I remember that he hadn't seen him bring this when he was in Xuanhua, and I don't know what it means."

Jiang Feng listened to Zhang Erye's upside-down words, and while reaching out to take the ring and putting it on the middle finger of his left hand, he suppressed the sentimentality in his heart, and wanted to say a few words of farewell, but he found that he couldn't say anything, and left this place with his fists in his hands.

On the third day, business in Huifeng Lou returned to normal, after all, the reason why people came here to eat was not to please Zhang Yong, but that the food and environment of Huifeng Lou were indeed the best in Beijing.

In the afternoon, Xu Tianbiao and Xu Quan came to Jiang Feng's wine shop, Jiang Feng no longer dared to leave the wine shop to do other things, now the situation in Jingshi is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will change next.

Xu Tianbiao's face was full of exhaustion, Xu Quan's expression was also very depressed, Xu Tianbiao said directly to Jiang Feng:

"I'm going to Nanjing tonight, I don't know what the Duke said to Lu Dutang before, I was dropped to Nanjing to be a thousand households of Jinyiwei, which is a good position, Xu Quan also wants to go with me." Uncle is here to advise you, some things are outside the body, and life is important at critical times. ”

Jiang Feng knew that the other party meant that he had offended too many people in Beijing, and if it were not for Zhang Yong's protection, Wanguan's family wealth would be equivalent to a piece of flesh and blood that attracted jackals, tigers and leopards. The uncles and nephews of the Xu family came here mainly to take away the thousands of taels of silver deposited in Jiang Feng's hands.

The usual silver money that the two of them should have received in the past year were all stored in this place, and Jiang Feng didn't say a word, and took out the silver money from the cabinet next to it and gave it to the two of them.

Shopkeeper Wang noticed that Li Hechun and Xiang's father-in-law had not come to Huifeng Mansion in the past few days, but this attention was fleeting, there were too many things for him to worry about, and a few guests were still small things.

On the fourth day after Zhang Yong's stroke, diners did not see any action against Jiang Feng, and they all came to Huifeng Lou with confidence and boldness to enjoy this exquisite and unique food and service. The noon banquet time had just passed, and it was the time when the seats were full, and there were no vacant seats.

Li Hechun, who has always arrived early, appeared at this time, but he didn't follow his father-in-law Xiang, followed by a few relatives, and the shopkeeper Wang saw it, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, but he had to tell the truth without a seat, walked up to him and said:

"Little grandfather, it's really unfortunate, now the upstairs and downstairs are full, why don't you have a cup of tea and wait for a while."

In the past, Li Hechun also laughed and said just wait, don't care and other kind of kind words, today the answer to the shopkeeper Wang was a slap, and when the shopkeeper Wang didn't react, he was kicked down by Li Hechun, and Li Hechun scolded fiercely there:

"Lao Tzu came here to eat because you gave face to your restaurant, and you have to wait, don't be a long-eyed bastard, give me ......"

The family members who followed Li Hechun were obviously prepared, and they were ready to go up and fight when they heard the order, but their master's voice stopped abruptly, and then there was an exclamation in their ears, and then a scream.

The family who turned his head quickly had already seen that Li Hechun was grabbed by Jiang Feng behind him and picked him up, and then fell heavily to the ground, Li Hechun no longer had the care and flattery of this year, and he couldn't bear the pain on the ground and twisted his face and scolded Jiang Feng viciously:

"Dog, you don't want to fucking live, and you dare to beat me."

Jiang Feng looked indifferently at Li Hechun, who was lying on the ground but was still rampant, and asked indifferently:

"Why don't you know that I don't dare hit you?"

After speaking, he raised the steel whip in his hand and whipped it down fiercely at Li Hechun, who was lying on the ground......
