Chapter 214 List of "Big Shots"
quiet!
Quiet!
As Zhao Duan kicked away with two kicks, and lifted You Zhande away with a palm, the Zhao family courtyard fell into a brief silence, and then a burst of exclamations broke out.
Zhao Pan was stunned. The beautiful girl stopped in shock, followed by the panting maid.
As soon as she came back, she saw the extremely annoying fat man and the middle-aged woman being kicked out and fell to the ground.
I was more surprised than anything else, and then I felt a sense of relief after realizing it.
I felt that the pent-up fire in my chest was finally released.
"Brother..."
Zhao Panming looked at his brother who was slowly walking out of the door, and felt a sense of peace of mind.
Eugene Hua's reaction was even slower. Although she had completely distanced herself from him, she did not expect her stepson to act so decisively.
You will see the fainted mother and son in the courtyard, their faces turning pale:
"Dalang, they..."
Zhao Duan said with a pleasant look:
“Don’t worry, it’s okay, it’s just a slight punishment.”
Even to take care of his aunt's mood, he couldn't kill the whole family here.
The feet that look scary are actually the result of skillful use.
The empress's devil training on him had remarkable results.
If it were in the past, even if the two sides inherited and had huge differences in martial arts, Zhao Duan would not be able to defeat You Zhande so easily.
"Cough, cough..."
In the courtyard, You Zhande was nearly beaten to the point of half-kneeling on the ground by this palm.
When he stood up, he felt that his energy was in confusion, he was coughing violently, and his eyes were full of horror.
According to the "intelligence" he has, the Zhao family's eldest son must be a low-level mortal...
But the moment the two sides fought, he had no power to resist.
Could it be the realm of martial arts divine chapter?
You Zhande's mind was shaken, and the warrior's blood suddenly cooled down.
The whole person woke up and suddenly had no intention of fighting anymore.
But Zhao Duan was already walking down the steps slowly, turning his wrist slowly with cold eyes: "Taking action against the imperial official, it seems that the head of the You family wants to taste the food of the imperial prison."
You Zhande had mixed feelings in his heart, but he finally lowered his head in recognition of the current situation and decisively gave in: "You just got excited for a moment, and it was not intentional..."
As he said that, he looked at Eugene Flower with pleading eyes.
Eugene Hua stopped talking and silently turned away his head.
Seeing this, Zhao Duan sighed softly, with an impatient look on his face:
"For the sake of my aunt, leave three thousand taels and then get out."
You Zhande did not bargain this time. He reached into his arms and actually took out a three thousand tael of silver note on the spot and handed it over respectfully.
He came to Beijing this time just to open up some business links, and he brought a lot of money with him.
Three thousand taels is already a huge amount of money, but for a clan that has been entrenched in the place for many years, it is still within the acceptable range.
So simple?
Sure enough... No wonder the imperial court is so poor. These families, big and small, have hoarded an unknown amount of money... They are so rich...
This is the necessity of launching the New Deal... Zhao Duan sighed and gave a look.
The maid next to her, Mian Tao, stepped forward and took the banknote.
far away.
The old steward of the Zhao family also came out with his servants. In his hands were the gifts that the You family had come to carry, but according to Zhao Duan's instructions, they were all "thrown out" together.
You Zhande was able to bend and stretch, but he didn't resist at all and left with his unconscious wife and son.
Zhao Duan was a little surprised.
A farce ended.
Only a mess was left.
"Mom, don't feel sad for this kind of person, it's not worth it."
Zhao Pan stepped forward, hugged the beautiful woman, and comforted her distressedly.
Eugene Hua forced a smile, her eyes full of loneliness and coldness:
"It's okay, mother understands."
From then on, she no longer had a family in her heart, only a pair of children.
When Zhao Duan saw this, he wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't.
On the other hand, Eugene Flower adjusted her mood, took the initiative to greet the maid, and went to the room to clean up the mess.
…
After they left, Zhao Pan suddenly came over and said:
"Brother, you knew this earlier, right?"
"What?" Zhao Duan asked curiously.
The girl with exquisite makeup and black hair spread behind her head looked up at him seriously and said softly:
“You let them run wild on purpose.
You must know that these people are here to build relationships. During this meal, you have countless opportunities and countless ways to let them know your strength...
No, they don’t even need to come to your door. You just need to explain casually, and the You family will know how high your status is...
In this way, they will not be like this at all, they will only flatter and act like good relatives. But you didn't. "
Zhao Pan seemed to have understood everything: "So you were uncharacteristically obedient and gentle before, just to mislead them...Wait a minute, you deliberately took out this set of equipment, and you were sure that they wouldn't believe it, right?"
Zhao Duan looked at her unexpectedly and smiled.
Neither admitted nor denied.
Yes, he did do it on purpose and did more.
In fact, Zhao Duan secretly ordered people to keep an eye on the You family a few days ago.
He even deliberately let people reveal that he kept a low profile after being interrogated by Dali Temple.
And cut off You Zhande's several actions to explore the news.
Therefore, he told Mian Tao in the morning that the other party might not know his identity. This was the reason. If there is an information cocoon room, then after the You family entered Beijing, they were thrown into a cocoon room by him.
"Why?"
Zhao Pan asked, and the girl was full of curiosity.
Zhao Duan couldn't resist the girl's curious gaze, so he had to say: "I ordered someone to check on You Zhande before and got some information. Well, this family is not a good one. They have killed many people over the years. Arson was only done once. In short, it was not a good thing.
Your mother has a soft temper and is easy to bully. It would not be a good thing if she gets involved with this You family. "
Zhao Pan suddenly realized:
"So you did this on purpose to let them reveal their true nature?"
Zhao Duan smiled: "A mere bumpkin from out of town, your brother and I can easily beat them to death, but after all, they are your mother's family, and blood is thicker than water, so I have to go through all the trouble." .
Only if your mother understands the true nature of these people will she give up.
Otherwise, they are just a few little people, why are you and I worth so much trouble? Acting with them? "
The person he usually plots against is, at worst, a clue figure related to the court boss.
I am really not interested in a few people from small out-of-town families.
Zhao Pan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly said coquettishly:
"Brother, I don't want to learn martial arts anymore. Can you teach me these strategies?"
It's over, the girl is gradually developing into a sinister direction... Zhao Duan yawned lazily, took out a house deed from his sleeve and stuffed it into the girl's lapel, smiling and cursing:
"Get out of here, what kind of intrigues are girls playing? Go learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is a newly bought house in the inner city. You can take it and ask your mother to put it away and prepare to move in a few days."
With that said, he walked out.
The girl was left staring blankly at the deed of a mansion worth tens of thousands of taels tucked into her chest, her brain shut down——
Brother, when did he buy the house?
……
Outside Zhao's house.
After Zhao Duan walked out, he stood in front of the threshold and waited for a while. An official from Lihuatang walked out secretly, cupping his hands and saying:
"grown ups."
"Well," Zhao Duan said as if he had expected it: "Is the person gone?"
"Yes, someone else has followed. My subordinates are waiting for instructions."
Zhao Duan nodded and said with a cold expression: "Just keep an eye on them first. If they are honest, don't worry about them. If there is any trouble, you can handle it yourself. If you can't handle it, report it later." I."
"I obey my orders!" The official disappeared quietly, showing his extraordinary skill.
The ones Zhao Duan wanted his subordinates to keep an eye on were naturally You Zhande's family.
"I hope you will be sensible and not cause trouble."
Zhao Duan murmured in a low voice, turned around, stretched lazily, and went back to the house to rest.
I don’t want to waste any more energy on a few little people.
…
…
The other side.
The carriage rumbles along.
In the carriage, You Zhande carefully checked the status of his wife and son and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although the two of them fainted, they did not suffer internal injuries. They only suffered external injuries and were not seriously injured.
They would wake up one after another. After the mother and son figured out the situation, the fat boy's face turned pale and he was too scared to say a word.
Youshi was also frightened, and said unwillingly: "Then blackmail him for three thousand taels for free?"
You Zhande said irritably:
"Otherwise? Do you want to go to prison?"
Youshi shrank his neck, feeling both timid and angry. He didn't expect that stealing the chicken would end up losing the rice:
"Then what's next? Go home?"
You Zhande had a sullen face, shook his head and said: "Go home? Isn't that really Bai Lai? The road surnamed Zhao is dead, but there is another way. There is still some money left, enough to look for it again "
He took out a list from his arms, with the names of some officials clearly on it.
In the past few days, after learning about the imperial court's opening of the market, You Zhande keenly realized that if the family wanted to prosper, it must get on the bus early.
He asked someone to inquire about the information, and that's how he came up with such a list.
At his level, he had access to a list of officials who might be able to help him obtain the "Imperial Merchant" quota.
"Zhao Du'an...hehe, let's write down today's revenge for now. There will be many opportunities to 'repay' in the future."
You Zhande's eyes were cold: "The top priority is not to argue with him, but to become an imperial merchant and become a big shot in the court.
Without his surname Zhao, the capital will still be around, and we can still find other big shots... What's more, Zhao Duan's status is probably not as high as expected, and even if we try to please him, we won't be able to get anything done. "
Youshi nodded:
"I listen to you, sir. By the way, didn't that noble young master say that if we encounter trouble in the capital, we can ask him for help? He said that his family has great connections in the capital."
The "young master" she spoke of was the young man from a wealthy family whom she had become familiar with on the way here.
After entering the city, the two parties separated, but left each other's addresses.
You Zhande pondered for a moment and said:
"Those disciples of the real powerful people are all human beings. Unless you have no choice, try not to do anything with them. Let's go with those on the list first."
"Okay." You stretched his neck and looked at the first name on the list:
"Chief of the Ministry of Personnel, Feng Ju..."
…
Typos will be corrected first
