In front of a remote house in Yanjing South City, the door of the house was open, and several figures stood respectfully, waiting for something.

After a while, several carriages appeared in the alleyway, stopped in front of the house, and jumped out of the first carriage, only to see that the person's face was gloomy, and his eyes were gloomy, and it was Geng Yiren, the third elder of the Geng family in Yuncheng. Several figures came down from the carriage one after another, which were a pair of children of the eldest of the Geng family and the second son of the Geng family.

A middle-aged man with a big belly immediately greeted Geng Yiren, his face was full of flattery, and he said respectfully: "Third master, you can be regarded as here, you have worked hard all the way!"

This person is the person who contacted the Geng family in Yanjing, and the name of Geng Zhi is the side branch of the Geng family, who is responsible for the news exchanges of the Geng family in Yanjing and makes friends with Yanjing dignitaries.

Geng Yiren walked into the house under Geng Zhi's lead, the house is not very large, but there are four wings in a main hall, and the small courtyard is slightly crowded. Geng Yiren was expressionless, but the three little guys behind him frowned.

Originally, when several young ladies saw the towering city walls of Yanjing, they saw the incomparable prosperity and liveliness of Yanjing, and their hearts were full of longing for Yanjing life, but after seeing such a shabby and humble house, their mood plummeted, and their home in Yuncheng was more than a star and a half stronger than this small mansion.

Geng Zhi, who was carefully accompanying him, saw the faces of several young ladies who turned sharply, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and began to get nervous, but secretly looked at Geng Yiren and found that he did not have any dissatisfaction before a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

Geng Zhi was also depressed in his heart about this situation, thinking of what kind of status he had in the Geng family in Cloud City, but since he came to Yanjing, he had to be a man with his tail between his legs every day, for fear of provoking someone he couldn't afford to provoke, and bring disaster to himself and the Geng family.

Just this mansion, he has been operating in Yanjing for ten years, and he finally bought it some time ago, and he spent a huge amount of money.

Entering the main hall, Geng Yiren sat down, Geng Zhi stood respectfully under the hall, and several young ladies looked at the main hall that was not as big as their own Yuncheng thatched house, and the expression on their faces was even more ugly.

Geng Yiren, who was sitting at the top, frowned slightly when he saw the expressions of several people, but he didn't say anything, but asked his subordinates to take them to the wing room to rest.

After Geng Chenyuan and the three left, Geng Yiren spoke: "Ah Zhi, you have worked hard all these years. ”

After hearing this, Geng Zhi suddenly sweated like rain on his forehead, and his back was soaked, because in Geng Zhi's mind, this third master has never been a good match, the third master is ruthless, and he has seen cruel methods, so he hurriedly said: "Third master, you have tormented me, for the sake of the Geng family, I will not hesitate to break my bones." ”

"How is Lord Feng contacted?" Geng Yiren suddenly changed his words and asked about Qin Tianjian.

"After receiving a letter from Yuncheng some time ago, I immediately prepared a gift and wrote a prayer post, just yesterday the Feng Mansion sent a message, Lord Feng will meet guests on the second floor tomorrow, and you can meet us at that time. Geng Zhileng was stunned and reacted quickly.

"Well, you're doing a good job, what's going on over there in Gengfu?"

"Young Master Geng arrived a day earlier than the third master, and there is no movement at present after coming back, according to the news from his subordinates, Little Young Master Geng seems to have been grounded by Lord Shaoshi, and the specific situation is not very clear. Geng Zhi replied truthfully.

"Can you make an appointment to meet Master Shaoshi today?" Geng Yiren said after a moment of silence.

"I started my activities long before the third master came, but the people I had always known well with before, this time I seemed to feel any trouble, and I was unwilling to help. Geng Zhi secretly raised his eyelids to look at Geng Yiren uneasily.

"Okay, let's start preparing for the second floor tomorrow, and send more people to find out the news of Geng's mansion," Geng Yiren heard Geng Zhi's words, his face was still gloomy, but a trace of worry appeared on his brows, and he paused and continued, "Continue to find someone to see if you can contact Su Lao first." ”

Geng Zhi didn't dare to delay for a moment, and after turning around and ordering his subordinates to serve Geng Yiren and the others, he left the small courtyard in a hurry.

"What a broken place, it's not as good as the place where the people in Cloud City live. In the wing, Geng Chenxi kicked a chair and complained, "I think that Geng Zhi must have acquiesced to my Geng family's money." ”

Geng Chenyuan frowned, and he was also dissatisfied in his heart, but the city was deeper, so it didn't show it on his face, and Geng Chenwan on the side also had a small face of resentment, echoing Geng Chenxi's words from time to time.

After complaining, the three of them were still angry, because they understood the temperament of their third uncle, but the three of them didn't dare to go to Geng Yiren to chatter, and they didn't find Geng Zhi's people in the courtyard, and the people who served the three of them were beaten by Geng Chenxi and Geng Chenwan, Geng Chenyuan stood aside and didn't make a move, but his eyes looked at everything indifferently.

The three of them made a lot of noise, and Geng Yiren's ears had already been alarmed, but they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping it, they still sat in the main hall thinking about their own affairs, and turned a deaf ear to the screams and cries outside.

At midnight, Geng Zhicai returned to the small courtyard exhausted, and after telling Geng Yiren about the news and arrangements he had heard, he retreated. After coming to the wing room near the gate in the small courtyard, he pushed the door and walked in, there was no palm light in the house, Geng Zhi lightly smeared and prepared to sleep in wide clothes, but a slight sobbing sound came from the darkness.

Geng Zhi frowned slightly, took out the fire fold and blew it, lit the oil lamp on the table, and the dim light slowly lit up the room, only then did Geng Zhi find a few hugging together, huddled in the corner of the wall, with obvious scars on their bodies, and if you look closely, you will find that these people are the people who were bullied and insulted by Geng Chenxi and Geng Chenwan during the day.

Looking at the few people who were unkempt, their clothes were torn and still choking, Geng Zhi felt a pain in his heart, his eyes were full of anger, and his hands clenched into his fists and his nails pierced deep into his palms.

These so-called subordinates are all his closest relatives, because he has been in Yanjing all the year round, Geng Zhi has taken his relatives with him as a subordinate to make it easier to take care of, and he doesn't want to be bullied like this now.

Geng Zhi didn't need to ask to know that it must be a good thing done by those gentlemen of the Geng family, although he was angry in his heart, he had to endure it, he was by no means the opponent of the Geng family, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart.

The next day, in front of a splendid and majestic restaurant in Yanjing Jingcheng, the flow of people was like weaving, and the cars were like flowing water.

Among the many extravagant carriages, an inconspicuous carriage was parked at the outermost periphery, greeted by the disdainful eyes of the surrounding people.

"No parking here. Geng Zhi was standing respectfully beside the carriage, Geng Yiren was just about to step out of the carriage, but unexpectedly, a cheer came, Geng Yiren immediately looked gloomy, but did not have a seizure, but stepped out of the carriage.

Geng Zhi saw clearly that it was the guard on the second floor, and hurriedly greeted him, squeezing out a flower on his bloated face, and wanted to go up to get close to the guard, but the guard's next action directly rejected his thoughts.

I saw that the guard directly pulled out the sword he was carrying, and wanted to point at Geng Zhi and Geng Yiren, with no expression on his face, arrogant.

Geng Zhi's throat moved, and his eyes drifted to Geng Yiren. Geng Yiren didn't even look at him, and walked directly into the carriage again. Geng Zhi was sweating at the moment, and hurriedly ran over to pull up the reins and drive the carriage into the distance, bursts of ridicule sounded all around.

After leaving the second floor, Geng Zhi stopped the carriage and asked Geng Yiren in fear. Geng Yiren, who was sitting in the carriage, had the heart to break Geng Zhi's body into pieces at this moment, but after all, he still had use value, so he endured it, and then got out of the carriage with a gloomy face.

The two soon returned to the second floor, and the laughter of the surrounding coachmen sounded again, and even pointed directly without scruples. Geng Zhi was in a cold sweat, but Geng Yiren looked very calm although his face was gloomy.

The second floor is only three stories high, and the building is as black as ink, and the light transmitted by the light embellishes the second floor, which is extraordinary. At the door, two graceful and delicate women smiled like flowers, and greeted the send-off, and their smiles caused the surrounding pedestrians and coachmen to lose their minds for a while.

Geng Yiren and the others were just about to step in, but they were stopped again, this time they were stopped by a short and fat young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a ruffian look on his face, he glanced at Geng Yiren and the two, snorted lightly, and swaggered in in the bright eyes of the two beauties.

Geng Yiren was like a dormant volcano in his heart at the moment, if he didn't know the bottom of the second floor and the depth of the Yanjing water, I am afraid that he would have erupted a long time ago, Geng Yiren forcibly suppressed his anger and prepared to raise his feet to enter.

To say that Geng Yiren was really unlucky, he was stopped again, and the reason given by the two beauties to welcome the guests was even more ridiculous, just because the short and fat boy just now looked at him unpleasantly, and that's it, Geng Yiren wanted to die at the moment.

Although Geng Yiren was extremely angry in his heart, his reason still defeated his impulse, and the person who could make the second floor act like this was absolutely extraordinary, and such a person was not something that he or even the Geng family could provoke.

Geng Zhi saw Geng Yiren's scary face, his back was already soaked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to explain to the welcome guests the intention of the two.

The welcome glanced at the two of them, reported the letter suspiciously, waited for a long time before the welcome came out, and then led Geng Yiren and the two in, arranged the two in a box on the first floor, and told the two to wait here.

The two sat stupidly in the private room and waited, I don't know how long later, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a person who looked like a small servant walked in, and the little guy didn't say a word and led Geng Yiren to the second floor, and stopped in front of a room called Cup Mo Stop, raised his hand and lightly buckled the door knocker twice, and the sound came from inside.

The little servant let go of the door and motioned for Geng Yiren to go in by himself.

Geng Yiren straightened his mind and walked in. Facing a huge screen carved in jade, a huge private room appeared in front of him around the screen, and the two figures were already sitting on the top of the place, and the short and fat boy from before was impressively seated.
