Chapter 3 An Lushan's Son
Xiaolan looked anxious, gasping breathlessly, "Oh no." Second son...... Second son... In Qinrenfang...... Being ...... Someone was beaten. ”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt a chill in her head, her face turned pale, and she staggered back a few steps. Gu Yuanxi was busy supporting Mrs. Gu and gently stroking her back, so that she would not faint.
"Xiaolan, you tell me carefully, what's going on." Gu Yuanxi was also shocked when he heard this, he knew that the second son was his second brother Gu Yuanhe. This second brother did not devote himself to officialdom like the eldest brother Gu Yuanhai, nor did he fight like the fourth brother Gu Yuanliu, he took care of the family's business on weekdays, and he didn't know why he was beaten for no reason today.
Lin Fuzi frowned, and said in surprise: "Yuanhe is honest and honest, and he has no quarrel with others on weekdays, how could he encounter such a disaster, was it the opponent in the business field?" ”
"Xiaolan, don't worry, you come carefully." Mrs. Lu took a breath and calmed down, "Where Erlang is now, it matters if we go over first." ”
"The second son cleaned up the accounts in the West Market Shixiang Building today, and I didn't want a guest to say that the things in our store were unpalatable, and the two sons smashed a few tables of food noisily, and the second son went up to argue, but together with Ah Xi, they were beaten by the guest's men and their noses were swollen." Xiaolan was so anxious that her tears remained.
"My son." Mrs. Lu only felt dizzy in front of her eyes, and her whole body collapsed weakly on the Hu bed.
Gu Yuanxi's face turned blue for a while. He knew that Shixianglou was his own property in Xishi, and he was usually taken care of by his second brother Gu Yuanhe, but when he heard that his second brother was beaten today, he frowned, obviously angry.
"Mother, don't worry, let Xiaolan take care of you." Gu Yuanxi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and comforted Mrs. Lu: "Child, take a few people to the West Market to help the second brother, and it will definitely be arranged." ”
Mrs. Lu was flustered and anxious for a while, but when she saw this idle son say this, she couldn't help but smile with relief, "Okay, but you have to remember not to conflict with others casually." ”
"Yes." Gu Yuanxi nodded and said, "This is nature." Mother, please rest assured, the child will definitely be dealt with well, and will not lose the face of our Gu family. ”
"Okay~Okay~" Mrs. Lu only felt that her third son seemed to be a different person, which made her feel a little relieved and relieved, she took a long breath and nodded: "Go ahead." Remember to be careful. ”
Gu Yuanxi walked out of the hall and shouted, "Gu Quan." ”
A young man immediately ran in the courtyard, nodded and said, "What do you want from the third prince?" ”
"You go and call a few strong guys, the guys, and go with Lao Tzu to the rescue." Gu Yuanxi spat and said coldly: "I actually dare to beat the second brother, I want to go and see which blind old boy dares to go to our Gu family's territory to spread wild." ”
"guys? Saving the day? Crazy boy? What do you mean, young master? Gu Quan scratched his head and asked confusedly.
"You don't even know about Crazy Boy?" Gu Yuanxi gently patted Gu Quan's head and said, "Don't you usually watch movies and don't go online?" You're so low, you know you haven't seen the world at a glance. Call you to go, you call to go, remember to bring the guys. ”

In Tang Chang'an City, there are two major market areas, "East Market" and "West Market". Among them, the "East Market" is close to the three major areas (Taiji Palace in the West, Daming Palace in the East, Xingqing Palace in the South), and many royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding squares, so the "treasures of the four directions, all accumulated" in the city, the commodities operated in the market, many high-class luxury goods, mainly serve the upper class society such as dignitaries.
However, there are many ordinary people's houses around the "West Market", and most of the goods sold in the market are clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities, which are far more prosperous than the "East Market". There are not only merchants from all over the Tang Empire, but also merchants from Silla, Wa and various regions of the Western Regions, especially the "Hu merchants" from the Western Regions, Persia, Dashi and other countries. These merchants operated a wide range of businesses, such as Persian mansions, jewelry stores, warehouses, wine shops, etc., and their commerce was unprecedentedly prosperous. Li Bai has a poem that says: "Wuling young people are in the east of the golden market, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze." Where do you go to the fallen flowers? Laugh into the orchid shop. Therefore, the "West Market" was known as the "Gold Market" and was the largest commercial center in the world at that time.
The Gu family not only operates a wine restaurant and a silk cloth village in the West Market, but also opens a silver building that trades jewelry in the East Market, and even has shops in some relatively large shops. It can be said that it is a rich party.
Gu Yuanxi learned from the memory of this body that the Gu family had a total of four sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Gu Yuanhai, held the position of Honglu Cheng, from the sixth grade.
The fourth son, Gu Yuanliu, served as a pro-soldier under the account of Wang Zhonghei, the world's famous general of the Four Towns Festival. This fourth brother won the trust of Wang Zhonghei with his bravery, and the future was bright in the prosperous Tang Dynasty when military merit was admired. However, Gu Yuanxi read the memory so far, but frowned slightly, he vaguely remembered that Wang Zhonghe's fate was not very good.
The second brother Gu Yuanhe cooks the Gu family, runs a shop and a wine shop. In this era, businessmen are lowly businesses, so compared with the eldest brother and younger brother, the second brother Gu Yuanhe is not valued by outsiders. However, in the eyes of Gu Yuanxi, who crossed over from later generations, if it weren't for the management of the second brother, the Gu family would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago.
Younger sister Gu Yuanqing is the president of Chang'an Pujia Poetry Society, a well-known talented woman in Chang'an City, and there are many rich children around her to pursue her.
"The eldest brother is a civil servant, the second brother is a businessman, the fourth brother is a soldier, and the younger sister is a young woman in literature and art." Gu Yuanxi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Oops, I'm the worst mix." ”
He thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the Shixiang Building opened by his own family in Xishi.
As soon as I walked into the food fragrance building, I saw that the store was sprinkled with leftovers, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the whole store was in a mess. As soon as he swept his eyes, he saw that his second sister-in-law Zhu Shan was sitting on the ground crying bitterly with the dying Gu Yuanhe in her arms, and there were several clerks sitting next to her, who were also beaten with blue noses and swollen faces.
Yu Changning changed color when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed over and asked, "Second sister-in-law, how is the second brother?" ”
Zhu Shan raised her head, her face was full of tears, and she couldn't say a word.
"How are you doing. What the hell is going on? Gu Yuanxi's heart was full of anger, and he asked the clerk next to him in a cold voice, "What's going on?" How could the second young master and you be beaten? Hit by whom? ”
A young clerk next to him endured the pain and replied with difficulty: "Today, the second young master and the second lady came to check the accounts, and it happened that a guest came to the store with a group of people to patronize, but after eating a few bites, he said that the things in the store were worse than dog food, and he smashed the tables and chairs without saying a word." The second young master went up to argue, but was seriously injured. We went up to help, but we couldn't beat the people around him, so everyone was hurt a lot. ”
After Gu Yuanxi heard this, his face turned terribly pale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Gu Quan, hurry up and ask the best doctor nearby to come and treat the second young master." Don't open the store today. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did those people go?" ”
The clerk also gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that they were going to play at the Baole Building in the West City, and they just walked not far." ”
"Good!" Gu Yuanxi slapped the pillar heavily and said, "Gu Quan went to invite Langzhong, and left a few to help the second sister-in-law take care of the second brother." Can any of you get up and bring me there? I'm going to avenge my second brother. ”
"Third Young Master." The clerk reluctantly stood up and said, "I'm okay." ”
"Okay." Gu Yuanxi gently patted the clerk's shoulder, "Good man, I won't treat you badly to the third son." ”
"Third Uncle ......" Zhu Shan said after hearing this: "Third Uncle must not be reckless, those powerful people, you must not be rash, we will first help Ah He and them back to see Langzhong, and then go to the government to report the case." ”
"Official?" Gu Yuanxi snorted disdainfully: "The government is reliable, and the sow will go up the tree." He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, the younger brother has his own measure." With that, he took a few family members and ran straight out.
Not long after walking on Xishi Street, I heard the clerk's shout: "Third Young Master, it's them, it's that group of people who smashed our Shixianglou and beat the Second Young Master." ”
Gu Yuanxi looked in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly saw a young man dressed in wealth standing in front of a jewelry store, followed by several tall and strong men. He took a few steps forward to take a look, but found that those men were all Hu people.
"This ** Mao, do you think you can be overbearing by hiring a few foreign bodyguards?" Gu Yuanxi gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute, you stop those Hu people, you have practiced martial arts with my fourth brother, there must be no problem." Lao Tzu personally went to beat that dead ** hair. ”
He walked quickly to the man, and saw that the man was dressed in a white round-necked robe, his hair was a little curly and yellow, his nose was high, and he was holding a box in his hand, and his face was full of joy.
"So you're a nonsense." Gu Yuanxi smiled at the man with a smile on his face: "A Hu person wearing our Han costumes is really nondescript. I mean, all the people in white are beautiful men, and there are many ugly beards like you. ”
"Who are you?" The man's face changed, "Although my father is a Hu person, my mother is a Han person." ”
"Oh?" Gu Yuanxi smiled and said: "The good thing to say is mixed blood, and the ugly thing is not to be a mongrel." ”
"Who do you say is a mongrel?" The man changed color.
"I'll say whoever is a mongrel." Gu Yuanxi sneered and said sharply: "Did you smash our Shixianglou just now and hit my second brother?" ”
"Second brother? Who should I be, it turned out to be the brother of the cheap merchant. The man spat disdainfully and said, "Lao Tzu beats your brother, and even you will beat you too." Give it to me. ”
"Yo." Gu Yuanxi was surprised, gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, you are enough to drag." It's more dragged than Lao Tzu. He suddenly shouted angrily, and struck the young man in the eye with a fist: "Ya, Lao Tzu told you to drag me!" ”
The man screamed, slammed his back against the wall behind him, and fell to the bluestone slab with a wail......
Gu Yuanxi's face turned pale, and he said viciously: "His subordinates will also beat me, beat them hard!" ”
There was a sound of punching and kicking, and the few Hu men behind the man were all powerful, but the Gu family was really cunning, and if he couldn't beat him, he would take out the root of someone's life. After a while, several Hu people covered their crotches, fell to the ground and howled in pain.
"I told you to smash our store, and I told you to beat my second brother." Gu Yuanxi shouted violently, and his legs, feet, and fists were exerted on this man with all his strength.
The man screamed and rolled around to escape. How could Gu Yuanxi let him get his wish so easily, he threw himself at him with a roar, viciously put him on the ground and slapped him a few times, pulling his hair, and cutting off his children and grandchildren.
"You ......" The man looked frightened and struggled in a trembling voice: "You dare to hit me, do you know who my father is?" You wait, I must call my father to punish your whole family. ”
"Who is your father?" Gu Yuanxi didn't mean to stop at all: "I don't care who your father is, what if your father is Li Gang." Today, if you don't beat you to call your father and mother, I won't be surnamed Gu. ”
"My father, my father will not let you go." The man howled again: "I told my father to pull all the men out of your family to feed the dogs, and the women to the brothel for thousands of people to and ride." He howled, but his face showed a sinister smile.
"I'm fucking you." Gu Yuanxi was even more furious when he heard this, and he kept kicking and beating people with all his strength.
"My father......" The man was beaten so that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he couldn't breathe, and he still struggled: "My father is the envoy of Fanyang and Pinglu towns, and he is the middle of the imperial history." You donkey Tian Shenu, my father will not let you go, and the emperor will not let you go. ”
"Your father is the envoy of Fanyang and Pinglu towns?" Gu Yuanxi was stunned and said, "Your father is An Lushan?" ”
"Tian Shenu, I must kill your whole family." The man sneered and said in a trembling voice, "I must let my father kill your whole family." ”
"Your father is An Lushan." Gu Yuanxi was stunned there, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and after a long time, he said viciously: "You are An Lushan's son?" Brother is you! With that, he slammed his fist into the man's face.
