The happy life of a prodigal

"Eh......"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Dong Zhifu: "The invitation to you two today is only to discuss the cloth business in our Gusu City, and we will not discuss other matters."

"I'm being rude..."

When the Patriarch of the Wu Family heard this, he didn't ask any further questions, but cupped his hands and said, "It's just, my lord, most of the cloth business in Gusu City is under the control of the Tang Mansion.

The sum of our two families is not as good as three-tenths of the Tangfu Cloth Village, you..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, but did not continue.

After Dong Zhifu heard this, he smiled and said: "Ten years ago, the silk and cloth of the whole world were still in the Jiangnan West Road. In just ten years, our Jiangnan East Road has grabbed the silk and cloth business." come here...

There is a saying that Feng Shui takes turns, why should the two belittle themselves? "

"This......"

The head of the Wu family and the head of the Yan family, another of the three great families in Gusu City, looked at each other when they heard this, and they could see the twinkling light in each other's eyes.

"Master Zhifu, do you mean that you are willing to help us win the Tang family's cloth business?"

Both the Patriarchs of the Wu Family and the Patriarchs of the Yan Family are mature people.

No matter how expressly Dong Zhifu said, they didn't get an accurate answer, but they still couldn't believe that all of this was true.

"If that wasn't the case, why would you two appear here today, sitting at the same table with me?"

Dong Zhifu picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said lightly.

When the two Patriarchs heard this, they looked at each other.

Before that, they had already noticed the subtle changes in Gusu City, so they strictly restrained the children of the house these days, for fear of causing any accidents.

Now it seems that what they thought... was not wrong!

The two patriarchs stood up together without much hesitation, looked at the prefect Dong in front of them, saluted dignifiedly, and said in unison: "My lord's kindness for helping each other, I will definitely keep it in my heart, and I will definitely keep it in my heart in the future." Will repay each other!"

There may not be rewards for paying, but if you want to get benefits, you must pay.

This is the experience gained by the two Patriarchs in the ups and downs of Gusu City for many years.

Dong Zhifu did not hesitate to offend Tang Zhengtong's family, the servant of the household department, but also to help himself and others win the cloth and silk business. There must be a deeper reason behind it.

Both the Patriarch of the Wu family and the Patriarch of the Yan family understand this truth in their hearts.

But......

No matter what, being able to snatch such a piece of fat from Tang Fu's hands is a rare thing!

Chapter 463 Let them come and go!

Gusu City, the outskirts of the city.

Qian was walking in the field of sweet potatoes, squatting down from time to time to observe the growth of sweet potatoes.

These seedlings were all obtained by dividing the five previous sweet potatoes. There were not many of them, but they had finally taken the first step.

According to the growth status of these seedlings, Qian Zheng is confident that within three years, all the ten acres of land can be planted with sweet potatoes.

There is only one reason why he is so confident, the output of this sweet potato far exceeds his imagination.

The five seedlings before have not grown enough to be divided into so many pieces, let alone after they grow up.

Even if you haven't seen the grown sweet potatoes, just looking at those seedlings, you can know how terrible the yield of sweet potatoes is.

certainly......

There is a prerequisite for realizing all this, that is, these sweet potatoes can grow up safely.

only......

Qian Zheng didn't know what he thought of, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he raised his eyes, and looked in the direction of Gusu City not far away.

There, a figure can be vaguely seen, slowly approaching.

"Money is in charge! Money is in charge!"

Qian Zheng stared at the gradually approaching figures, and suddenly heard a shout.

Turning his head to look, it was the guard of Fang Mansion.

"Guan Qian, there are dozens of people over there, all of them holding things in their hands!"

Qian Zheng nodded, and said flatly, "I see."

"The money is in charge, what should we do next?"

The guard asked.

Qian Zheng thought for a while and said, "Call all the brothers over, I have something to tell them..."

Hearing this, the guard showed excitement on his face, and said, "Okay, Manager Qian, I'm going to call someone!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and trotted away, leaving the sweet potato field.

Every now and then, the seven guards who were guarding here before and the five guards that Qian Zheng brought out from the city gathered together.

Qian Zheng walked in front of them, glanced at everyone, and said: "You are all old people in Fangfu, and some of you arrived at Fangfu earlier than me, so I won't say much about it.

Half a month ago, I had already written a letter to the young master. Counting the days, it should have been in the hands of the young master by now.

What kind of person is the young master, you know better than me, no matter where our Fangfu is, we have never suffered a disadvantage.

So... no matter what you face, don't be afraid, the best way to defeat the enemy is to face the enemy directly!

We bought these lands with real money, and the people in the yamen want to take them back for no reason. They want to ask us, ask the guys in our hands, and see if they agree! "

"No promise!"

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen guards shouted one after another.

"Okay, keep our land, don't need the young master to speak, I will pay each of you an extra five taels of money out of my own pocket.

As long as anyone dares to approach, no matter who they are or what their status is, they will all be called, and they will never return! "

Qian Zheng gave an order, and a dozen guards, like red-eyed wolves, drew their swords from their waists and shouted in unison: "Let them come and go!"

the other side.

Wu Yong, the young master of the Wu family, walked in the front, followed by dozens of guards carrying various weapons.

The leader of the guards was a very burly man.

This guy was originally in the bodyguard agency, but later the bodyguard team was robbed outside Gusu City, just happened to be bumped into by the head of the Wu family, who helped him and took him in.

From then on, he stayed in the Wu Mansion as a guard, and he was considered to be the only person in the Wu Mansion who possessed real kung fu.

Therefore, even facing the young master of the Wu family, the leading guard did not appear as humble as the middle-aged steward before.

"Young Master, we are just ahead..."

The leading guard came to the end of the path, stopped, pointed to a field, and said.

Wu Yong looked at the field, and could vaguely see a few figures, which were much sparser compared to his side.

"Well, when we get there, no matter who it is, break one of their legs first, wait for them to beg for mercy, no... wait for them to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, then stop, understand?"

Looking at the figure not far away, Wu Yong seemed to think of something, his expression became a little cold, and he gritted his teeth.

When the leading guard heard this, his expression didn't change at all. He nodded and said, "Understood, young master, please rest for a while, wait..."

"Rest? Master, did I come here from the city to rest?"

Wu Yong said coldly.

When the leading guard heard this, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Young master, you should be more careful, although these people have mud legs and no real skills, they still hold swords in their hands.

A sword has no eyes, if it hurts you, young master, it will be bad..."

"You don't need to worry about these, all you have to do is smash their legs to me!"

The young master of the Wu family seems to have a special paranoia about breaking other people's legs, and he just breaks other people's legs when he opens his mouth and shuts his mouth.

The leading guard seemed to be used to it, so he just nodded, looked at the guards behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Did you hear what the young master said?"

"I heard!"

The shouts of dozens of guards were very powerful in this empty field.

"it is good!"

The leading guard looked at the figure approaching him not far away, and said coldly: "Let's go!"

"Come on!"

With an order, dozens of guards all rushed forward!

"Come on—!"

In just half a minute, the two groups collided.

There are no superfluous words and no superfluous actions.

It's a big punch to meet you!

Although there are many guards in the Wu residence, but not many of them can be called weapons, and some of them even hold wooden sticks in their hands.

However, there are only a dozen guards in Fangfu, but all of them are holding swords.

In addition, the strength of the two groups of people cannot be compared.

Some of Fangfu's guards were selected from among the refugees, they were not considered strong, they could only be said to be stronger than ordinary people.

But......

Liu Dong and the other three guards who followed Qian Zheng were the real "Fang Mansion Guards". They were veterans who had experienced many battles, and they were naturally able to handle such a mob with ease.

It's very easy for a person to face four or five people, and he doesn't take these people seriously at all.

Only the leader can make Liu Dong pay a little more attention.

"The young master has an order, as long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will spare your life!"

"he...tui..."

"Just you bastards still want grandpa to beg for mercy? I'm afraid you're still dreaming!"

"My housekeeper also has an order. As long as your young master kneels down and begs for mercy, he will spare his dog's life!"

When the guards of Fang Mansion heard the words of the guards of Wu Mansion, they all showed disdain and snorted.

Wu Yong next to him heard this, but he was so angry that his eyes seemed to burst into flames!

Chapter 464

At this moment, Wu Yong could no longer restrain his anger, picked up the long sword in his hand, and walked a few steps forward.

He had already fixed his eyes on the guy who made him kneel down and begged for mercy before, brandished his long sword, and stabbed him.

only......

A dandy, or a dandy whose body has been hollowed out by wine and lust, has so much strength, the guard just blocked it lightly, and bounced Wu Yong's Ji'an back.

"Which grandson dares to sneak up on your grandfather!"

The guard roared angrily, and looked at the person who was swinging the sword at him.

After seeing his face, he was slightly taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, it turned out to be you!"

Not far away, the guard commander of the Wu residence has been paying attention to the movement here.

When the two groups of people just exchanged hands, he noticed something was wrong.

The strength of these people in front of him is much stronger than he imagined.

Even if one's own side has an advantage in numbers, it may not be able to defeat the opponent.

But... there is a key breakthrough on my side, which is my young master!

If my young master is held hostage by these mud legs, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this moment, seeing his young master being watched by the other party's guards, the guard leader of the Wu residence kicked the guy in front of him away, rushed towards his young master, and said loudly: "Young master, be careful!"

Before the words were finished, the sword of Fangfu's guard was about to fall on Wu Yong's neck.
