It seems that these two arrogant brocade-clothed boys are indeed the head snakes of this place, and as soon as they were thrown downstairs, someone immediately carried them away for treatment.

After a while, a large group of people broke into the restaurant, led by a middle-aged man, in his forties, with a rich face and figure, wearing a sky blue silk robe and horse coat, followed by more than 20 family members, all holding wooden sticks, with fierce faces. Last time, his son was robbed by bandits, and the mother-in-law of the family fell out, and she also paid 100,000 taels of silver to redeem the only precious son. Now someone broke a leg in Fuzhou City, it's really unbearable for aunt, uncle can't bear it! As soon as he walked into the store, he shouted, "Where is the man who beat my son?" I'm going to break his legs to avenge my son!" ”

Xiao Er next to him pointed to the private room upstairs, very afraid of him!

The group quickly climbed to the second floor, followed the traces, and walked to the No. 2 private room in Tianzi. Geng Jingzhong had already seen the appearance of the person through the door, but he still sat still, holding a cup of tea in his hand and tasting it slowly.

"How many of you broke my son's legs?" When the visitor saw Yang Jian and the four people standing at the door, their expressions were even more angry: "I want to see who is so bold and dares to take my Gu family in his eyes like this!" "I'm going to go inside.

Yang Jian stretched out his hand to stop him, he was very wary that there were too many of them, and he couldn't let these people break in.

"Yang Jian, let the Gu family master come in." Geng Jingzhong's calm voice came from inside.

When people heard this voice, it seemed to be a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it, but he didn't care about it, he knew a lot of people, and no one dared to touch his Gu family's tiger whiskers in Fuzhou. Leng snorted, raised his legs and walked into the private room.

"The head of the Gu family is so majestic and evil! I wonder whose legs you're trying to break? Geng Jingzhong saw him enter the private room, so he raised his head and said slowly.

When the originally angry and somewhat distorted face of the person who came saw the speaker's face, he suddenly became stunned, and then his red face instantly turned pale, and he trembled uncontrollably, and his legs immediately knelt down: "The grass people don't know that the son of the world is here, they have offended the son of the world, and I ask the son of the world to forgive me!" ”。 The martial arts family who followed behind also knelt on the ground in an instant, trembling with fright, and did not dare to take a breath.

This Gu family master is the current head of the Gu family, a famous family in Fuzhou City, and the elder brother of Gu Bingyuan of Fujian Salt Road, named Gu Bingfu. Speaking of which, the Gu family in Fuzhou is also a Tsinghua family, several generations of business, to their brothers' generation, his younger brother Gu Bingyuan is even more promising, becoming a Fujian salt patrol, a dignified court three-grade officer, supervising the entire Fujian local salt affairs. During the Spring Festival, Geng Jingzhong held a banquet to entertain visiting officials from all walks of life, and many big businessmen were also present. Gu Bingfu followed his younger brother Gu Bingyuan into the palace and saw this young prince with his own eyes.

"Didn't you just say you were going to break my legs? Why don't you speak? ”

"The villain has eyes but no beads, and begs the son of the world to forgive his sins." Hearing Geng Jingzhong's cold voice, Gu Bingfu was even more afraid. Although he is very rich, and his younger brother is also a member of the Sanpin, he is a businessman, and the status of businessmen has been low since ancient times, and he offended the prince, and no one dared to care if he was directly killed. Thinking of what this prince had done for most of the year, Gu Bingfu almost couldn't support his body and collapsed.

At this time, there was another commotion from downstairs, and someone came to find a place. The person who came was the eldest son of the Fuzhou Wang family, about thirty years old, his own brother was beaten, he was furious, and came to take revenge. But when I climbed to the second floor, I saw a group of people kneeling on the ground, and I felt a sigh in my heart, expecting that things were not good, but I didn't dare to leave. He has taken over the affairs of the family, and he has experienced a lot of big scenes, he is not a brainless person, he immediately stopped the noise of the family, and then just stood outside and waited.

Geng Jingzhong also heard the sound outside, but he didn't want to worry more about these people here, and he lost the face of Jingnan Palace. "Master Gu, go back, this son doesn't want to worry too much this time, your son has already paid the price for offending me, forget it." Sue the person outside, take care of your children when you go back, and don't make trouble everywhere. Tomorrow you two will come to the palace, and I have something to tell you. ”

Gu Bingfu was overjoyed when he heard that the prince didn't care about this matter. Geng Jingzhong asked the two of them to go to the palace tomorrow, but they were still apprehensive for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

"Go ahead, you still want me to invite you!"

"Yes, yes! The grass people leave now! Gu Bingfu was pardoned, immediately got up, turned around and left. The man waiting outside saw Gu Bingfu come out with a pale face, and also left with him. Since the Gu family can't afford to provoke them, they must also be unable to provoke them, their family's power is not much different from the Gu family, and it's still thirty-six tricks! But I don't know what the expression on Gu Bingfu's face will be when he hears from Gu Bingfu's mouth that the person in the private room is the famous prince of Jingnan. What is certain is that the two sons of the family who broke their legs will not have a good time in the future.

As soon as these people left, Geng Jingzhong and the others stopped staying, and gave the hotel a piece of silver as compensation and went home.

Geng Jingzhong slept late again before getting up. As soon as the washing was completed, the next person came to report that Gu Bingfu, the head of the Gu family, and Wang Xiancai, the head of the Wang family, came to visit.

At this time, it is the end of October, and the current solar calendar is the end of November, and the temperature is still very low before the sun comes out in the morning, only five or six degrees. But these two heads of the family, who were dressed in silk and satin and delicate bodies, did not seem to be affected by the cold weather at all, and stood outside the palace gate early in the morning waiting, and kept whispering something, even if they were frozen to snot, they didn't care! Behind the two of them, a row of housekeepers carrying several large boxes of gifts were neatly placed on the side of the road, and the big red boxes looked quite extraordinary.

As the head of a great family, his mind is still enough. They wisely did not put the officials of the family on the table; In front of King Jingnan, even the governor of Fujian is not enough to see, so it is better to come over honestly and ask for guilt. When the gate was opened, he immediately handed over the prayer post, and explained that the prince had asked them to come, and the palace guards reported to the steward before letting them in.

"Brother You, you say, did the prince deliberately hang us, why hasn't he come out yet?" In the living room, the two sat together, and Wang Xiancai whispered to Gu Bingfu.

"No, didn't you hear what the man just said? Shizi has been very tired lately, and he wakes up late every day, wait! I don't know what the prince called the two of us here? I'm up and down now! ”

"Who isn't! Look at my eyes, I didn't sleep well all night last night, and when I first woke up in the morning, my kid was scolded by me again! Wang Xiancai remembered what happened yesterday, and he felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, blaming himself for being too pampered with his son. I can't raise my godfather!

"Scolding? If it weren't for my mother-in-law, I would have broken his leg again! It's not good to offend anyone, dare to offend the son of the world, and force the woman who left the son? Fortunately, the prince said that he would not care about it anymore, otherwise our two families would be finished! In Gu Bingfu's opinion, if the prince can take that maid shopping, she is basically the woman of the prince. In this era, most of the concubines of large families are maids in the family, and they are not wrong to think so. In fact, what they didn't know was that the maid was actually a princess pretending! Fortunately, the princess did not want people to know that she was pretending to be a maid to go shopping, and did not reveal her identity; Otherwise, the consequences will ---

After the two chatted quietly for nearly an hour, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "The son of the world has arrived!" ”

Suddenly, the two people in the living room quickly got up and looked at the door of the hall in unison.

Geng Jingzhong was still dressed in casual clothes, approached the living room with a smile, nodded, and greeted the two of them!

"The villain sees His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Your Royal Highness is well!"

Geng Jingzhong walked straight to his seat: "Let the two family heads wait for a long time!" Excuse me! ”

"Shizi is polite! We've just arrived! ”

"Yesterday's incident, the villain was outside the city, and he didn't know about it until the evening! Today, I have come to ask the son of the world for my sin! Wang Xiancai did get the report from his family very late, and he wanted to come to the palace to make amends, but Geng Jingzhong had already put down his words and stopped.

Geng Jingzhong waved his hand: "Hmm~, I said yesterday, your son has been punished for offending me, I won't mention it again at this time, I'm not so stingy!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You are magnanimous, and the villain is grateful! The two of them were relieved when they heard this, and they made a fuss again and again! Then wait for Geng Jingzhong's next words, since Geng Jingzhong doesn't care about yesterday's affairs, then if he calls them here today, there must be other important things to order, just listen quietly.

"The two heads of the family may be very strange, why did this son call you over today?" Geng Jingzhong looked at the honest appearance of the two of them and knew that they were waiting for him to speak, and after the two nodded, Geng Jingzhong continued: "I must both know that I built a port in Mawei. Now it is in the stage of development, and it is gratifying that the incoming prisoners of the Zheng family in Taiwan have been eliminated by us, and all the warships have been captured. I mean, I want to build more ports, I wonder if you two would be willing to help? ”

Gu Bingfu and Wang Xiancai seemed to have a glance, and Gu saw joy in each other's eyes. Geng Jingzhong's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wants to develop sea trade! There is no one in the rich merchants along the coast who does not want to carry out sea trade, before the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong's son Zheng Zhilong was the largest maritime merchant after being recruited, at that time as now, the imperial court was also forbidden to the sea, but the maritime trade has not been interrupted for hundreds of years, they are all families, which one does not have a sea ship? Which one did not trade by sea? It's just the size of the scale. Now, Geng Jingzhong actually wants to build a port and develop maritime trade on a large scale
