Chapter 143: The head of the Cui family
On Feng Jian's side, Cui Sangongzi's originally handsome face has been slapped into a pig's head by Cheng Yousheng, and Cui Sangongzi is also a strong seed, and he is still scolding indistinctly when he is beaten like this.
Cui Chengyong roughly understood the identity of Feng Jian and the others from Chen Fu's mouth, and his mentality suddenly changed dramatically, the Cui family has a big business in this Pingdu City, and the Cui family is not afraid of the government, but they are most afraid of these bandits! Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, offending a group of bandits and robbers, it is definitely more than worth the loss for the Cui family.
Now that his nephew has provoked a powerful bandit leader for no reason, the entire Cui family will be unlucky! I can't do this by myself!
Thinking of this, Cui Chengyong hurriedly beckoned a confidant, briefly explained a few words, waved him to the head of the Cui family to report, and asked him to come and deal with the matter in person.
Then he stubbornly walked up to Feng Jian and said deeply: "Today's incident was completely caused by the people of my Cui family, and it almost caused an accident between Feng Gongzi and the three of his subordinates, and I have sent someone to inform the head of the Cui family, and ask the head of the Cui family to come and deal with this matter, and ask Feng Gongzi to wait for a while." ”
Feng Jian was still lukewarm and said: "Please also ask the shopkeeper Cui to find the person in charge as soon as possible, this son's side really can't wait!" ”
"Soon! Soon! Cui Cheng said that he was also anxious in his heart, and in order to distract Feng Jian's attention, he asked, "I heard that Feng Gongzi is in urgent need of food, and he plans to buy it from Pingdu City?" ”
Feng Jian moved in his heart and said, "Yes, there is such a plan, and it has been approved by Lord Zhizhou." As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Fu, who was standing by and watching.
Chen Fu nodded and said, "Yes, I just mentioned this matter to Shopkeeper Cui." ”
Cui Cheng said with an interface: "Don't hide it from Feng Gongzi, my Cui family has opened a few grain stores in this Pingdu City. I'm not talking big, at least sixty percent of the grain business in this city has to go through the hands of my Cui family. Several larger grain stores in the city, such as Dayou Grain Stores, Shunfeng Grain Stores, etc., are all owned by my Cui family! How much food does Feng Gongzi need? My Cui family is willing to supply Feng Gongzi at the lowest price. ”
Feng Jian and he went around for a long time to establish a cooperative relationship with the Cui family, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and the Feng family believes that the cooperation conditions he proposed The person in charge of the Cui family will definitely be tempted.
Now that Cui Cheng is automatically mentioning the matter of food, Feng Jian will take the opportunity to negotiate with the other party on food. Cui Chengyong just said that the Cui family controls more than sixty percent of the grain trade in Pingdu City, so it is likely that the Cui family has a water transportation system all over the place, which is exactly what Huluyan lacks, and it is impossible to establish it in a short time.
If the dredged Nanjiaolai River is used as a bargaining chip, the logistics cooperation between the two sides after the dredging of the Nanjiaolai River and the dredging is proposed to the principal of the Cui family.
This is a matter of more pros than disadvantage for both sides. Feng Jian believed that the principal of the Cui family would not be moved when he heard that he could spend a huge amount of money to renovate the Jiaolai River and restore the function of the Jiaolai River's sea transportation channel.
If the Cui family intervenes, with the help of the Cui family's water and land transportation capabilities, Huluyan can quickly start water trade, and of course, this is also a good opportunity for the Cui family to expand water transportation.
Cui Chengyong couldn't have imagined that his casual mention of food would make Feng Jian have so many ideas.
Seeing that Feng Jian had been frowning and pondering and did not answer, he turned his head to look at Cui Sangongzi, who was still shouting vaguely. Looking at Cui Sangongzi's swollen face into a pig's head, he felt a little relieved, what else would this idiot do except cause trouble!
About half an hour later, I saw the hotel shopkeeper first hurriedly come to Chen Fu and whispered, "Butler Chen." The head of the Cui family had already gone downstairs and asked the villain to come up and say goodbye, saying that he was here to make amends to Feng Gongzi. ”
Chen Fuyi turned to Feng Jian and said, "Feng Gongzi." The head of the Cui family has now arrived downstairs in the restaurant and said that he is here to make amends for your sins, so let's see if he will come up to meet him. ”
Cui Chengyong was very much in favor of the way the head of the Cui family responded. With the connections of the Cui family, I believe that he has already figured out the origin of this Feng Gongzi, otherwise with the respect of his family master, he would definitely not take such a peaceful way. Take the initiative to ask to see Feng Jian.
Cui Sangongzi, who was lying on the ground and whining, heard that his father was coming, and he wanted to make people hear. Only then did I realize that I might have really stabbed the hornet's nest, and I don't know how to deal with today's affairs.
Feng Jian naturally hopes to meet with the head of the Cui family, if the two sides cooperate, then he will definitely not continue to embarrass the third son of Cui!
"Please come up and talk about the solution to the problem!" Feng Jian said calmly.
Chen Fu said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant: "What are you still doing in a daze, go down and invite the head of the Cui family up." ”
Cui Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't panic, the shopkeeper, let's go and catch the head of the house." He whispered to the guards beside him to stay in the Jing Pavilion, and then walked towards the downstairs of the restaurant.
With the sound of the wooden staircase "creaking", a group of people came up on the second floor of the Fulai Restaurant, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby face was surrounded in the middle, and Cui Chengyong, the shopkeeper of Fengxian Pavilion, whispered something to the middle-aged man's side, and the slightly chubby middle-aged man frowned slightly.
A group of people walked to the door of the Jing Pavilion, and the middle-aged man waved his hand to the guards beside him and said, "You are not allowed to do anything casually outside the door." Fifth brother, and go in with your brother! ”
Cui Chengyong pushed open the door of the Jing Pavilion first, turned around and asked the head of the family, Cui Cheng'an, to go first, and followed him into the Jing Pavilion.
Although Chen Fu is a big official in the Zhizhou Mansion, in terms of identity and status, he cannot compare with the patriarch of one of the top big families in Pingdu Prefecture. Seeing the richest man in Pingdu City, he was naturally very polite, and stepped forward to say hello to Cui Chengan.
Cui Chengan nodded lightly and said, "Please ask Steward Chen to say hello to Lord Chen on my behalf!" Cui has been busy with mundane affairs, and when he has free time in a few days, he will definitely come to the door to listen to the teachings of Lord Zhizhou! ”
Chen Fu hurriedly said: "Lord Zhizhou, everything is fine, welcome the Cui family master at any time!" ”
Cui Chengan said "um" and turned his gaze to Feng Jian who was surrounded by a group of soldiers from the Zhenshan Battalion, Cui Chengan changed color slightly, and bowed slightly to Feng Jian and said: "This hero is Feng Jian Feng Hero!" ”
Chen Fu generally preemptively said: "Yes, this is Feng Jian from Huluyan." ”
Turning his head, he introduced to Feng Jian again: "Feng Gongzi, this is Cui Cheng'an and the head of the Cui family, let's get to know each other." ”
The Cui family is a well-known big family within a radius of 100 miles, and at least one-third of the land in Pingdu City is in the hands of the Cui family, and large and small shops are scattered in all corners of the city.
It can be said that the head of the Cui family stomped his feet, and Pingdu City was about to tremble, and the face of the Cui family head was not easy to refute casually even by Pingdu's parents.
If Feng Jian, who used to be an ordinary farmer, met the head of the Cui family who took the initiative to talk to him, he would definitely be photographed by Cui Chengan's condescending momentum!
At this time, Feng Jian talked freely in front of Zhizhou Chen, and in the face of rich gentry such as the head of the Cui family, he could no longer stir up any waves.
Feng Jian considered at this time that the head of the Cui family had better be a person who knew right from wrong, otherwise it would not be good for the Cui family to get into trouble.
Because Feng Jian was ready to cooperate with the Cui family in water and land transportation, he took the initiative to say: "I have heard the name of the Cui family master for a long time, Feng Jian is polite!" ”
Cui Cheng'an is also an old and cunning person, Feng Jian dared to appear in the city openly as a Huluyan thief, and he was also vigorously maintained by the steward of the Zhizhou Mansion, such a strange thing itself shows a lot of problems.
I just heard my cousin Cui Cheng tell in a whisper that the bandit leader of Daze Mountain was ready to lead more than 10,000 people to return to the imperial court.
I immediately understood why the bandit leader in front of me was standing here blatantly! He had also read the twists and turns of Mingfa in the newspaper of the imperial court, and knew that the imperial court had implemented a policy of appeasing the bandits and displaced people who were in rebellion, and this thief must have reached an agreement with Chen Zhizhou.
More than 10,000 bandits returned to the imperial court at once, Cui Chengan was a little surprised that this group of bandits was powerful, although he knew that most of these bandits were desperate peasants, but the destructive power caused by more than 10,000 peasants was immeasurable.
But he didn't think that these bandits would dare to commit murder and arson in the city.
On the one hand, he was afraid of bandits like Feng Jian, and on the other hand, he looked down on Feng Jian and other thieves on the evil side from the bottom of his heart, and even hated it a little, and the materials transported by the Cui family were hijacked by the thieves several times.
When he heard that his uncompetitive third son repeatedly troubled a few bandits from Huluyan, and led more than a dozen family members to poison the Fulai Restaurant.
At that time, the exact identity of Feng Jian and the others had not been determined, and they were just thinking about how to rescue their youngest son, and how to clean up these bold thieves afterwards, so he put down what he was doing and quickly rushed to the Fulai Restaurant with a few henchmen.
Seeing that his beloved third son's face was swollen like three fat people, a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, no matter what mistakes his son made, he should be controlled by himself, this group of little thieves is really vicious.
I know in my heart how much trouble my third son has caused for the Cui family, and if I don't handle it well, it will affect the entire Cui family! But when he saw his son's miserable appearance, he almost couldn't help but be angry.
But the son is now in the hands of the other party, and he made a special trip to Fulai Restaurant to wipe his stupid son's ass, not to exacerbate the conflict between the two sides, and it will even backfire if he gets angry now.
Cui Chengan took a deep breath and said in a completely calm manner: "Don't dare, don't dare." The little brother is a young hero, and the old man admires him very much. The dog has offended all the old men twice, and I apologize to the little brother and you here, and ask the little brother to forgive the dog. ”
Feng Jian pretended to be suspicious for a while, and when he saw a trace of anxiety in the corner of Cui Chengan's eyes, he knew that he still had the initiative in the matter, so he said: "Since the head of the Cui family is willing to admit that it was your son who led the attack on my son, the matter will be easy to handle."
