Chapter 20: A Middle-Aged Man with a Broken Mouth

Just when several of Wang Li's rogue subordinates wanted to help Wang Li up, five tall warriors in tea-white suits stepped into the Wanjin Warehouse, mercilessly driving away the guys and guests inside and outside the Warehouse, and was about to swing a stick to drive Xu Wei and the others away, when a middle-aged man's voice sounded lazily: "Slow down......"

The middle-aged man has an ordinary figure, about forty years old, with a short beard on his mouth, and some messy stubble on his sideburns and chin.

The middle-aged man was followed by two well-proportioned and tall young men, also wearing plain white military uniforms, but they looked much more luxurious than the middle-aged man. Moreover, these two young men looked like they were carved out of a mold, and each of them had two iron rulers around his waist that were often used by government officials.

The middle-aged man stopped his stick-wielding warriors, walked towards Lu Xiao without hesitation, and then deliberately waved his sleeves to hide his face and said in disgust: "I said where did the local flavor come from, it turns out that there is a country woman from Chengtouzhuang in the store, which is really unappetizing." ”

A middle-aged man in his forties unceremoniously insulted a soft-looking and well-dressed young woman, and in the eyes of Xu Wei, who was onlookers, this middle-aged man was no different from a three- or five-year-old boy playing with mud.

If it is someone else, Wu Banjin will definitely come forward to stand up for Miss, even if he can't beat him, he will have to take advantage of it. However, when he met Lu Xiao, a middle-aged businessman, Wu Banjin could only shut up and endure it.

Because this rude middle-aged man is one of the four wealthy businessmen in Shendu who is as famous as Lu Min, the big boss of the Lu family firm, Gao Zhen, the big boss of the Gao family firm.

In fact, Gao Zhen doesn't like others to call him the big boss of the Gao family, he still prefers guests to call him a big shopkeeper, but compared to Gao Zhen, he doesn't like the title of "one of the four wealthy merchants of Shendu", Gao Zhen thinks that he should undoubtedly be the "head" of the four wealthy merchants of Shendu, after all, he is now the head of the entire Shendu Merchants Guild.

The business operated by the Gao family, almost all of the Lu family is involved in it without accident, especially in terms of money, the Lu family's Tianyuan money village is a black money village specially used by rich people to save emergencies, although it is easy to borrow money and difficult to repay the money, but because as long as someone dares to borrow money, Tianyuan money is willing to lend, so the guests who come to the door are still endless.

In today's Sui Dynasty, money banks generally refer to those small lending stalls, or underground black stalls like Tianyuan Money Bank; The regular money house is generally called the cabinet shop, and the Shenglong cabinet shop of the Gao family firm is the largest and most formal cabinet shop in Quanshendu and even in the Jiangnan region.

A large part of the flowing money in the Shendu is stored in the Gao family's cabinet, but because the Gao family's cabinet has followed the rules of strict control and lending since the ancestors, Gao Zhen, who can only get some oil but can't eat fat, sees Lu Min's Tianyuan Qianzhuang making money every day, and he really hates itchy.

Not to mention that the business of the Lu family such as Mochiyue Tower and Fengyu Goolan robbed the Gao family of countless guests, in Gao Zhen's opinion, this is no different from Ming robbing his money, so he naturally hates the Lu family who was born in a peasant family.

It was not the first time that Lu Xiao and Gao Zhen had met, and the tea garden business she had vigorously developed was made by Gao Zhen secretly uniting several bosses of the tea shop to stir it up, making her lose a lot of money.

Although it is not a taste to be humiliated by the enemy at this moment, Lu Xiao can naturally still recognize the general situation, she saw that Xu Wei had won the double knife, and she didn't want to have any entanglement with Gao Zhen anymore, so she squeezed out a smirk at Gao Zhen and said politely: "Since Boss Gao has this Yaxing, then I won't bother, business is always about harmony, and I hope Boss Gao will not embarrass us young people who come out to hang out." ”

"Hmph." Gao Zhen was too lazy to talk to Lu Xiao's hypocrisy, and he didn't plan to really embarrass a little girl, because he didn't take Lu Xiao's daughter-in-law businessman in his eyes from the bottom of his heart, and waved his sleeves and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I'm still embarrassed for you, I feel bad luck standing next to you." ”

"Oh yes." Gao Zhen suddenly turned around and stopped Lu Xiao again, and said with a crooked smile, "Tell your brother, I'm afraid his recent wishful thinking is going to be in vain, hahahaha." ”

Lu Xiao didn't know what her brother was planning every day, and she didn't want to pay attention to Gao Zhen anymore, so she handed over the double knives to Xu Wei and pulled him towards the door of the warehouse.

Seeing Lu Xiao, Xu Wei and the other four people in and out of pairs, Gao Zhen couldn't help but be idle, and laughed at the suave guards around him: "Look, these country women are the best at hooking up with men, the little girl's family doesn't want any face, and the real mother is not ashamed." ”

Xu Wei was already a little unhappy when he saw Lu Xiao being humiliated before, and when he heard some foul words popping out of Gao Zhen's mouth, he turned around and wanted to go back to ask for an explanation, but Lu Xiao, who also heard those words, grabbed Xu Wei's hand tightly.

Lu Xiao's five fingers are slender, and his cool hand is soft and soft to hold, but it is such a gentle hand, but at this time, he is pulling Xu Wei hard to prevent him from turning back.

Xu Wei caught a glimpse of Lu Xiao's side face gritting his silver teeth, and knew that he must have something unspeakable, so he had to leave with her according to Lu Xiao's wishes.

At the moment when Xu Wei and Lu Xiao were about to step out of the gate of the Ten Thousand Gold Warehouse, Wang Liu, who was wearing a blue-green robe, rushed out of the inner hall of the warehouse like a big king, and shouted: "Can't let them go!" They snatched both good knives, stop them! ”

"Oh?" Gao Zhen's expression was suddenly a little displeased, and he waved his hand to the two suave white-clothed warriors behind him, instructing them to take someone to stop Xu Wei and Lu Xiao.

There are also about five or six tall martial artists in tea and white clothes guarding outside the door of the Wanjin Warehouse, and there is a small guy who is similar to Gao Zhen's height, but his body is thin, he holds a small fan in his hand, and the two beards on his mouth are slender, and when he sees Gao Zhen's fingers, he knows the boss's thoughts, and hurriedly commands the white-clothed martial artist outside the door: "Quick!" Stop them. ”

The tall warriors in tea-white suits each held a long, smooth and hard stick wrapped around the ends of the stick by a long uneven iron ring, which would surely make people's heads bloom if it was sturdy.

Six long sticks at the door of the quality warehouse were neatly poked towards Xu Wei and others, forcing them to retreat, and there were five sticks behind them from all directions, Xu Wei shouted "squat", the long knife in his hand was unsheathed, and the cross arm waved left and right to block several sticks.

Almost at the same time, the white-clothed warriors at the gate of the quarantinery also came with sticks, and their stick methods were extremely orderly, and their coordination was almost seamless, comparable to the formation layout of the perennial drills in the army.

Xu Wei knew that he couldn't just defend, so while protecting Lu Xiao and the others to move closer to the wall, he took the initiative to swing his knife and cut the hand armor of one of the martial artists.

"Why are you only caught by one person, and you are drilling the horns there?" Gao Zhen saw that eleven of his subordinates were crowded with Xu Weihuan, and said unhappily, "I raised you to watch you dance sticks and sing big plays?" ”

The Ten Thousand Gold Vault occupies a large area, but the white-clothed warriors are not weak, they are still superior in numbers, and more importantly, they know how to use long sticks in narrow places, making it difficult for Xu Wei to get close in a short time.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao and the others were behind him, and Wu Banjin, who was bare-handed, wanted to help, but Xu Wei pushed him back, and now he rashly entered the long stick array with afterimages, and only those who were beaten to death were killed.

The two dignified-looking young men beside Gao Zhen saw that Xu Wei was resisting stubbornly, and almost at the same time opened his mouth and said, "Stop!" Stand down! ”

The two suave men looked like twin brothers, and the one with longer hair and a little thinner hair should be the elder brother, he brushed his hair with the iron ruler in his right hand and looked at Xu Wei and said: "Boy, you have a little ability, more than a dozen beat you, you still have to protect the people behind you, you really bully you, it is better to let our brothers come to meet you." ”

"Why don't you let us go, the knife is mine, both." Xu Wei knew that the two were not weak hands, and it was inevitable that there would be casualties in the fight, so he arched his hand in a concession and said: "I also hope that the two brothers are high-ranking and noble." ”

Lu Xiao, who retreated to the wall, also said loudly to Gao Zhen: "Boss Gao, they are all in business, we have to be reasonable, this knife is indeed ours, and it was deceived by the treacherous tricks left by the king, if you don't believe it, Jiangzhou Prefecture is next to it, so you can go to the official to check it out now." ”

Hearing this, Gao Zhen turned his head to look at Wang Liu and asked, "What the village aunt said is true?" ”

Wang Liu didn't want to admit it, but he didn't dare to deceive Gao Zhen, so he had to nod his head vigorously, and replied with a bull head on his lips: "Boss Gao, you see that the knife in Xu Wei's hand is really a god in the world, and it is really a good knife." ”

Gao Zhen's treasure collection shop, its scale is twice as large as Wang Liu's shop, and from a distance, he knows that the knife in Xu Wei's hand is by no means a vulgar thing, and I heard Wang Liu say that there is a rare mermaid tear on the handle of the knife, which is a good thing that can't be found with lanterns in the land of China.

Gao Zhen naturally knew about Wang Liu's dirty methods, but as long as the things were good, he didn't bother to care about other things at all.

Hearing Lu Xiao say that he wanted to report to the official, Gao Zhen touched his chin and said righteously: "No matter whether this knife was stolen and robbed, what does it have to do with me?" I only know that Boss Wang's store is selling that knife, and as long as I Gao Zhen buys it for him today, then this knife is mine. Whether you want to die or live to find the king to stay, I have no control. ”

After that, Gao Zhen threw out five special silver tickets for Shenglong Cabinet Workshop in the sky, each of which could withdraw one hundred taels of silver or one hundred copper coins in Shenglong Cabinet Workshop, and said loudly to Xu Wei and others: "Now I have bought this knife for five hundred copper coins, don't say that it is the governor of Jiangzhou, even if the Sui Dynasty Daxing Gong is here in person, this knife is mine now!" I've already spent the money first, and now you are robbing my things, and I will return them to Lao Tzu! ”

"How can there be such a strong person in this world?" Xu Wei was dumbfounded after listening to Gao Zhen's words.

However, in fact, Wang Liu, who was next to Gao Zhen, was even more dumbfounded, and muttered reluctantly: "Just ...... It's only 500? The rare treasure knife in this world must be sold at least 3,000 times......"

"Hahahaha." Gao Zhen smiled and patted Wang Liu's helpless face a few times and said in a low voice: "If Lao Tzu didn't help you, you wouldn't have gotten a penny, what?" Only allow you, shameless thing, empty gloves, white wolf, and don't allow me to take advantage? ”

"Boss Gao is rarely making his own decisions there." Lu Xiao was no longer willing to endure it, and walked to Xu Wei's side without the slightest fear, and this delicate Jiangnan woman seemed to exude a rare powerful courage that only a wealthy merchant in the Shendu had in her body: "Since this knife was deceived and possessed by Wang Liu, it is a thief!" ”

Lu Xiao folded his hands on his waist and said slowly: "And what your boss Gao is doing now is to buy stolen goods knowing the stolen goods, and if you do such an embarrassing thing, you will naturally return the stolen goods to the original owner first, don't say that you bought it for 500 guan, even if you buy it for 500,000 guan, this knife is also Xu Wei, you can ask Wang Liu to get the money back, but there is no reason to continue to forcibly occupy Xu Wei's knife!" ”

Gao Zhen was a little speechless by Lu Xiao's two words, and his heart smoldered in the sky, "You have a mouth, don't you?" ”
