Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these are all ready, but what about the prisoners on the other side of the East Factory?" ”

"All of them will be transferred to prison, and the trial will start after tomorrow! By the way, did I find the person you were looking for? ”。 Looking at Chen Hong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked with a calm face.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have found it, but I haven't started contact yet, is it a test today?" Chen Hong looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse cautiously and asked with a calm face.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked suspiciously, "What kind of person is this?" Have you found it all out? ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all clear! The family's surname is Fang, there are five people in the family, and the owner's name is Fang Xing, a forty-two-year-old businessman. Fang Xing's ancestral home in Anhui, now living in the capital, is a generational business family, in addition to Fang Xing, the Fang family also has Fang Xing's wife Zhao, as well as the eldest son Fang Hua, the second son Fang Yan, and then the eldest daughter Fang Fei. Chen Hong bowed and said respectfully.

After a slight hesitation, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly: "What kind of business does he do?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Fang family has been engaged in the silk industry for generations, and the business is not small, but the Fang family is very observant of their duties. It is not for the rich and unkind businessmen, donating money and medicine every year to relieve the orphans. It's just that the Fang family has encountered some difficulties recently. Chen Hong still bowed down and said with a respectful face.

Nodding again, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this person?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers have already asked Lord Luo of Jinyiwei to help, and the last six generations of Fang Xing have been found out. The Fang family was originally a big family, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, so they went their separate ways. Fang Xing's branch is not a long-term line, so there is nothing special about it, that is, at that time. Fang Xing came to the capital. The ministers collected the information of the merchants of the entire capital, and there were very few who had no background, and this Fang Xing was one of them. Chen Hong nodded vigorously, and said in a rather firm voice.

Walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought quietly for a long time before asking again, "Chen Hong." You just said that the Fang family is in trouble, what is the trouble? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are many businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, and different places have their own chambers of commerce. Fang Xing's family has ancestral weaving skills and craftsmanship, so the business has been very good in recent years. However, the Jiangnan merchants, who also started with silk, naturally couldn't tolerate such a thing, so they united to run the Fang family. Some of the businesses here have a deep background, and the Fang family can't afford to mess with them, so they have recently had a lawsuit. Lost! The family is preparing to sell the silk workshop! Chen Hong replied.

Pacing slowly again, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a calm face: "Who are the people who are squeezing the Fang family?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the name of several Jingying silk and satin businesses in the capital, as well as the chambers of commerce in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. The composition of these chambers of commerce is very simple, they are all regionally centric, but these chambers of commerce basically have the shadow of the nobles of the dynasty and the vassal kings of various places! Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse cautiously, Chen Hong said respectfully.

He groaned for a long time. Only then did the Emperor of the Apocalypse say in a deep voice: "Let's get in touch today!" When this is over, I'm going to use him! ”

"Yes. Your Majesty, the ministers go in person! After bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong bowed and retreated.

Looking at Chen Hong's departing figure, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled coldly and said in a low voice: "They are all rich people, but I am poor." This time, I want to be rich, too! ”

The Fang family's house is located in the east of Běijing City, and it is a large mansion with three entrances and three exits, which shows the wealth of the Fang family. However, the Fang family, which was rich in the past, is now a little dilapidated, and the front of the door is bare. The door was closed.

The Fang family's inner house was also gloomy at this time, the head of the family, Fang Xing, sat on the chair with a sad face, and on the side was Mrs. Fang. The two sons were also sitting in the house, and Fang Fei, the eldest lady of the Fang family, who was not out of the door, was also present.

With a deep sigh, Fang Xing said to the housekeeper on the side, "How is it?" Still no one buys it? ”。

"Master, these people are avoiding us now! Don't say you're here to buy our shop, as long as I come to the door, no one will be there! The old housekeeper Fang Fu should have really sighed and said with a dejected face.

Slammed the table hard, Fang Xing said loudly: "These people are trying to force us to a dead end!" If you want our Fang family's weaving process, these people are really too much! ”

"Dad, Shuntianfu is obviously colluding with them, and there will definitely be good officials in this běijing city. Why don't we go out and make inquiries and then file a complaint? "Fang Xing's eldest son, Fang Hua, is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, has already married a wife and has a son. Fang Huaping is very stable and has a very square demeanor.

"Dad, if you want me to see it, we should go to Jingyang Zhong and sue the emperor!" Fang Yan on the side didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore, and said loudly. Fang Yan is the second son of the Fang family, and compared with his brother Fang Hua, Fang Yan can be described as an inadequate. However, because of the relationship between the tutors, he is still a good person, and he can only be said to be young and frivolous.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fang Xing looked at his daughter on the side, among his three children, Fang Hua was loyal and honest, decent, and was a very good successor. Fang Yan is young and frivolous, and he doesn't know the depths, but the one who can help at this time is Fang Xing's daughter Fang Fei.

Although she is a daughter, Fang Fei likes to read books like Sun Tzu's Art of War and Guiguzi very much, so naturally only she can help at this time.

"Fei'er, do you have any solutions?". Looking at his daughter, Fang Xing said expectantly.

Frowning slightly, Fang Fei pondered for a long time before he sighed and said, "Although the eldest brother's method is feasible, we are not familiar with the officials in the capital, although we can do this, but life and death are unpredictable. Although they are all businessmen now, the identity of the people behind them must not be simple, if we really do this, whether there are officials who dare to manage it is a matter. Compared with the eldest brother's statement, I am more inclined to the second brother's statement. Seeing Fang Yan's proud look, Fang Fei smiled and said, "But that's the last resort!" We're not there yet! ”

"Fei'er, do you have any good ideas?". Seeing his daughter say this, Fang Xing suddenly looked happy and asked eagerly.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fang Fei said with some hesitation: "Father, things are not so simple, these people want money and power, we can't fight them." Now we only have two ways, one is to hand over our craft, these people should let go after getting the craft, but it is not ruled out that these people will cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The second is to find a powerful person, this person must not be afraid of these people, and our Fang family will take refuge in it! It's just that it's hard to find such a family in the capital, I'm afraid that the worst will be the palace, and this prince will be powerful! ”

After listening to Fang Fei's words, Fang Xing sat down on the chair again in a daze, what is this! patted his forehead vigorously and said bitterly: "What is this called!" Is it really that hard to be a serious businessman? ”。

When the Fang family was at a loss, a group of people came at the door of the Fang family, and more than 20 guards protected a small pride. Each of the guards was very strong, each carrying a sword, and the leader was riding a horse. In the capital so ostentatious, you can know at a glance that the identity can be determined to be extraordinary.

Coming to the door of the Fang family, the leader turned over and dismounted, came to the side of the proud son, and said softly: "Master, it's here!" ”

"Go up and knock on the door, press the pride!" The man inside the proud son commanded softly, and then there was no sound.

The leader replied respectfully yes, and then strode to the door of the Fang family, slapping the door knocker vigorously. After a short time, a person's voice sounded inside, "Lighter, here!" ”

With a sound, the door opened, and when he saw the people outside, the gatekeeper was stunned and said with some hesitation: "Who are you?" What's the matter? ”。

"Go in and report it, just say that our master is a nobleman, let your master come out to greet him!" The leading man spoke very politely and arrogantly.

"Let's just say I'm here to buy silk and satin!" As soon as the leader finished speaking, a voice sounded behind him, an old voice.

After hearing this voice, the leader hurriedly turned his head, bowed down and said respectfully: "Yes, master!" ”

The gatekeeper couldn't help but look like the person behind him, it was an old man in his fifties, and he was dressed very expensively. With a wisp of hair, it looks a little weird, but the eyes are very sharp, and people dare not look at it.

"Wait a minute, the little one will go in and report!" The gatekeeper didn't dare to delay too much, so he flew in to report the news!

In the hall of the Fang family, the Fang family was still worried, and at this time, the housekeeper ran in quickly, and said with excitement on his face: "Master, there is a person from outside, who is surnamed Chen, and he is here to buy our shop and workshop!" ”

"What! Come in, no, I'll go and ask for it myself! Fang Xing stood up abruptly and hurriedly walked outside.

After a short time, the people outside came to the hall of the Fang family, and after the guests and hosts were seated, the old man said to the head of the guards with a calm face: "You stay outside, don't let anyone disturb us!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The leader bowed respectfully, said in a deep voice, and then turned and went out.

After looking around the room, the old man said in a deep voice: "Master Fang, the old man came with sincerity, we are talking about things here and someone is eavesdropping, is it a little inappropriate!" As he spoke, the old man pointed behind him and pointed to the back of the screen.

"You guys come out for me!" Fang Xing seemed a little embarrassed and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, three people walked out behind the screen, it was Fang Xing's two sons and daughter Fang Fei. The three of them lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Fang Xing. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
