The news that Li Shimin personally proposed words for the academy spread all over Hangzhou City in a few days, which also surprised people who originally despised the status of the academy.

The students studying in the academy felt that their faces were bright, and when a man in a green shirt walked on the street to buy a dong, he said that it was a student of Hangzhou Academy, and everyone had to look up a few times.

Gong Dajun suddenly received an invitation from Hangzhou Shiwei Qingquan at home, saying that he was invited to attend the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Academy tomorrow.

Holding the invitation card made him confused for a while, firstly, he did not participate in the Chamber of Commerce, and secondly, he did not donate money to the academy, how could he suddenly receive such an invitation.

The next day when he arrived at the academy, Gai Wenda took the students and business representatives to pull off the red silk covered on the stone, and the four big characters "Hangzhou Academy" were written on the stone in Li Shimin's flying white font, which was very strong, and everyone cheered and applauded.

Seeing the excited appearance of teachers, students and businessmen, Gong Dajun was very disapproving, because he didn't donate a penny, and he didn't have a good impression of Xiao Zheng.

After the unveiling ceremony, Xiao Zheng left the businessman representatives behind and said: "Everyone, you have witnessed such a grand event today, I think you must be excited in your hearts, but there is another big drama I also want to invite you to watch, I have to take a few more steps to be tired of everyone."

"As long as the adults go, I'll go!" The merchants said happily.

"Alright, let's go together!" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Gong Dajun didn't want to go, but the two people dressed as servants came over and said with a smile Since everyone is going, I bother you to go too, and you are designated by Shangguan to go, although the tone of your voice is polite, there is no room for negotiation.

There were a hundred reluctant people in their hearts to go, and scolded Xiao Zheng's eight-generation ancestors and followed everyone on the official road and walked west. The further he went, the more empty Gong Dajun's heart became, and he vaguely had an ominous premonition, because everyone was going in the direction of his cement kiln, and it had not changed.

When he arrived in front of the cement kiln, Gong Dajun's heart sank.

In front of the cement kiln, dozens of workers stood in a row of kiln workers, and more than 100 officers and soldiers stood on the side to guard these people.

Zheng Xuanli went to these potters and pulled out a person who looked like a team leader, brought it to Gong Dajun and these businessmen and asked, "Look, is there anyone you know here?" ”

The man came to the front and looked at the people in the crowd carefully, shook his head and said, "Go back to the adult, there is no one the villain knows."

Gong Dajun was shocked, looking at the portrait of this person, he heard the housekeeper say that it was estimated that it was Chen Dong, a distant cousin of his third lady.

"Well done!" Xiao Zheng applauded and said.

This move made all the businessmen who came over look at each other, and they didn't know what Xiao Zheng was tossing in front of a kiln.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard of the concrete thing when you were cultivating the official road, there is a very important material here called cement, to put it mildly, cement was invented together with the old people in the ancestral village, and this formula belongs to me. But today, for some reason, the cement was burned in this kiln, which made me very curious, so I would like to ask you to come and see if someone has the same recipe or someone has stolen my recipe to burn cement and sell it for money."

Xiao Zheng walked up to Gong Dajun and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong, I don't know if I'm right?" ”。

"This..., the villain has also seen this thing of cement, and the other villains really don't know" Gong Dajun glanced at Xiao Zheng and replied.

"Gong is the largest brick merchant in Hangzhou and even in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't think Mr. Gong knows anything new in this place, or does he really not know?" Xiao Zheng's words were meaningful.

Everyone saw the conversation between Xiao Zheng and Gong Dajun, thinking that this guy was the largest masonry merchant in Jiangnan and this cement kiln, everyone seemed to have guessed something, and everyone was watching the two of them fight without saying a word.

"My lord, the villain really doesn't understand what you're talking about, I didn't want to participate in this opening ceremony, I was invited by Lord Wei, although I didn't donate money to the academy, but there is no need for adults to embarrass the villain like this," Gong Dajun closed his eyes slightly after finishing speaking, and said nothing.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gong, you will never use officials to coerce people, let alone bully people."

As he spoke, several fast horses galloped back, and a catcher got off the horse and saluted Xiao Zheng before handing Xiao Zheng a few papers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the person just now is called Chen Dong, and he is the owner of this kiln, but this kiln was Mr. Gong Dajun before it changed hands, right? This is a document for the transaction between the two kiln owners, so you can also take a look."

"Yes, I admit this, I bought this kiln to someone else two months ago, and the transaction was a pledge, and I didn't directly handle it. But Lord Xiao, if you think that someone stole your recipe to burn cement here, you should find the current kiln owner Chen Dong, instead of me Gong Dajun, the villain didn't burn cement two months ago."

"Beautiful, Mr. Gong's trick of the golden cicada is doing a good job, outsiders seem to have never lived a lifetime, and it is a normal transaction, no one will think that there is anything abnormal."

After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words and said: "But I seem to have heard of one thing, this person's name is Chen Dong is a distant cousin of your third lady's family, I don't know if this matter is true or not, can Mr. Gong clarify."

Gong Dajun was shocked when he heard Xiao Zheng's words, how did he know about such a secret thing, but the super psychological quality that he had cultivated over the years in the business still made him look very calm.

"My lord, there are six ladies in the villain's house, if they are all counted as distant relatives, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of people, the villain can't know everyone else, even if he is a distant relative of my wife, this fair trade does not violate the law of the country, what does it have to do if he commits a crime? Didn't the villain just raise the price of masonry a little when you built the road, if the adult really wanted to take revenge on the official for personal revenge, now beat the villain dozens of boards, and the villain will follow, didn't you Lord Xiao originally say to the people that there is no movement of a flail and a tree", Gong Dajun looked at Xiao Zheng coldly and said.

"This trick is well hidden, is this trick Li Dai Taostiff?" Xiao Zheng looked at him without the slightest anger and said.

He clapped his hands and said to the two sergeants, "Invite the others over."

After a while, Gong Dajun's housekeeper walked over with a young and somewhat attractive woman, and behind the two of them was a man walking with his head down.

When Gong Dajun saw the woman and the housekeeper, his face changed greatly, he opened his mouth and didn't speak, but just glanced at the housekeeper viciously.

Chen Dong, the kiln owner who had just recognized the person, suddenly became excited when he saw this woman, and shouted "cousin" in his mouth.

After shouting, he wanted to rush over, but was blocked by two sergeants.

"Mr. Gong, you can't say that you don't know these people, right?"
