Chapter 130: The big tree falls and remains fierce

Zhao Xiucai knew how big the amount of money he carried with him every time he came back from Tianjin. Although all the money was deposited into the money house, the money house that had a close connection with Xu Tianbiao from Dongchang was already opened in Tianjin for the wealthy businessman of Tianjin Wei.

As soon as he got off the carriage, the Zhike in front of Huifeng Tower smiled and pointed at the wine shop opposite and said:

"Butler Zhao, Mr. Jiang is in the opposite room, and a guest is coming."

Since the yard and wing room behind Huifeng Building were transformed into unique elegant seats, Jiang Feng only found an empty yard between morning and lunch, and spent most of the rest of his time in the wine shop, although this place is now called "Tiger Cave" by people from the south city.

Nodding at the Zhike, Zhao Xiucai turned around and walked towards the wine shop opposite. After more than a dozen tidings were talking and laughing, they began to sort out the harness. The coachman drove the carriage to a large yard nearby, which was the parking and horse-tie place that had been recently demolished.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Xu Tianbiao walking out of the inside with a gloomy face. Jiang Feng's face also had no smile. When Xu Tianbiao saw Zhao Xiucai, he naturally knew what Zhao Xiucai brought when he came back from Tianjin. He turned around and whispered to Jiang Feng:

"Now I'll go to the money shop on Nanjie to get the bills. Huicai money shop is the property of Mr. Xu in Nanjing, so there will be no problem."

Jiang Feng agreed. Xu Tianbiao was about to get on the horse, but suddenly sighed, turned around and patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder, and got on the horse and left.

"Go and deposit the money. The shopkeeper of the money shop will exchange you for a banknote that Huicai will make. Come back here soon after you finish the payment. There is something important."

When Zhao Xiucai returned to the wine shop, Zhang Liang, the boss of the Ma brothers, Wang Qinian and Tiedin's Luo Yi were already in the house. Jiang Feng has been in high spirits since he started the business of the sea boat. No matter who he talks to, he is full of spring breeze, but today his face is very gloomy.

Jiang Feng's words were very direct, and he stood up and said:

"Just just now, news came from Xu Baihu in the East Factory that Eunuch Zhang had a stroke last night."

This sentence is like a thunderclap in the ears of these people in the room. They are Jiang Feng's confidants. They all know who is the backstage of Mr. Jiang, who is very good at fighting and causing trouble. Speaking of which, Huifenglou has caused countless troubles in the capital. The things he has done over the past year have hundreds of fully armed servants at the feet of the emperor, and there are nearly ten large ships on the sea. These things are sheltered by someone and nothing is considered, but if there is no backstage, if someone intends to find trouble, it will be a death penalty.

The people around him were shocked, Jiang Feng looked around and continued to speak:

"Old Zhao, today I will send the profits to everyone. Everyone will have about one thousand taels of silver."

When hearing this number, the expressions on the faces of several people who are qualified to pay have not changed. The money in their hands has been unimaginable in the past for a year, but now it is always a bit awkward to hear Jiang Feng's words. Zhang Liang is the closest person and couldn't help but ask:

"Master, do we need to go out of the capital by horse now, so as not to be found to be searched at night."

This very cold joke made everyone around him laugh. Jiang Feng smiled and scolded "small brat". He felt that he was relaxed a little, and said:

"Abstract, the matter of Duke Zhang is not a catastrophe for us, but we must be prepared. We have finally made such a great fortune. You will go and clean up what you have at your fingertips. Those with family members will send people to Tianjin Wei's manor to stay for a few days."

Zhao Xiucai was the last person to leave this room. Jiang Feng looked at the silver notes placed on the table. There were a total of 15,000 taels. Zhang Liang took two thousand taels of silver to Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei. This was a common practice in the past eight or nine months, but only he and Zhang Liang knew about these silver.

When he went out to maintain the operation of the restaurant, fleet, and manor, Jiang Feng's silver in his hand was in a close-fitting skin. The skin was extremely flat and there were not many things inside. Fifteen thin pieces of paper, each of which was 10,000 taels, and the silver notes that the Huicai Money House had to exchange for the north and south.

This number can be said to be an amazing wealth, not including the current turnover of the fleet and the silver taels in various businesses. If Jiang Feng now has nearly 200,000 taels of money, this number may be close to one billion in modern times. Will it disappear like this?

For thousands of years, whether in ancient times or modern times, whether in China or abroad, wealth without power will soon disappear in the wind and rain. Although he also used money and commander Lu Bing to establish a relatively intimate relationship, this is only about money. With the benefits of common practice, it is convenient in the system. After all, the relationship between commander Lu Bing, who is three years older than him, and his relationship with him is only a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Unlike Zhang Yong, the relationship that is already close to grandparents was exchanged for the life of the father of this body.

Now I have a restaurant that is faintly the number one in the capital, four or five restaurants and teahouses that seem to be like ears and ears, a fleet that attracts wealth and treasures at sea, and a Tiedian who, although only a hundred people, was equipped with the most advanced weapons of this era. The most outstanding officers in the Ming Empire carefully trained him and were loyal to him.

Zhang Yong was already old in the Ming Dynasty. He had been in the military for many years and suffered from many diseases. Jiang Feng knew in his heart that there would be no miracle that made the old man who was "Tiger's Distance to the Capital" healthy. However, was the career he had to take away by others because of the stroke of the old man? Jiang Feng took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed it hard on the table.

The old man also had a knife and a fist in his hand! He said to himself viciously.

At night, the Su sisters took the account book to live in an inn in the south of the city. Mr. Li's carts were already waiting here. As soon as the city gate opened, the two sisters would go to the house that Jiang Feng bought in the Tianjin ward. Apart from the iron ranch, there was no idea that it was Jiang Feng's property.

With experience, Jiang Feng did not say what happened this time, but just said that he wanted Su Guanxue to see the sea so that he would not have to stay at home every day.

The next day, news of the eunuch Zhang Yong, the headmaster of the 12th Regiment of the Admiral, had a stroke and hemiplegia spread throughout the capital. In the Ming Dynasty, it was already possible to determine that a person had completely lost his ability to move. This disease has not been solved even in modern times.

Although Huifenglou's business was still good on this day, some officials with grades did not appear on the guest list. Unexpectedly, Li Hechun and Xiang's elder brother-in-law came here to have dinner on time without any impact. However, Jiang Feng's attention was no longer on this.

The positions of the Admiral's 12th Regiment Battalion and the Imperial Horse Supervisor are extremely important. The tradition of being eunuchs and deputy ones being nobles has been continued for many years. However, after the eunuchs who are in charge of the chief eunuchs cannot be in charge, there is absolutely no possibility of being nobles supporting themselves. There is no control in their hands, and it is too likely that the nobles who hold military power threaten the imperial power.

So the palace responded quickly. The eunuch Huang Ping, the eunuch in the Royal Horse Supervisor, and the old man from Emperor Jiajing in the Xingxian Palace were appointed as the admiral of the 12th Regiment Battalion. The news spread faster. Now everyone knows that Zhang Yong's power in the capital is no longer there.

At this time, Jiang Feng didn't have so much concern. He rode a horse to the old mansion of Changning Hou at noon. Now, when Zhang Yong returned to the capital, he might have expected that he would not live for too long, so he didn't think about any house at all. He had always lived in a mansion that was not commensurate with his official title.

The neglect at the door is not too surprising. This has been the case in all dynasties. The eunuchs in power have no family to hereditate and cultivate. The glory and wealth are often concentrated in his generation. As long as he dies from old age and illness, the relationships and power network run by this person will quickly collapse.

As long as Jiang Feng is in the capital, he always comes to Zhang Yong's house several times a month. Since he was scolded for sending money, he has sent local products from various places and the food carefully prepared by Huifenglou. Zhang Yong is old and is willing to be with young people like Jiang Feng. The eunuch who has no children and nephews has even devoted his family affection to Jiang Feng.

The dull second-class Zhang, Zhang Yuan, was also the title of Count, but everyone knew that Zhang Yong's current state was worthless. The Zhang family had only recovered for less than a year and was about to be ruined.

However, Zhang Erye's expression was still dull. Although he could see from his eyes that he was very panicked, he didn't know what to do. He just panicked and didn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Feng sighed in his heart, and could not say some words to comfort him. He came to Zhang Yong's bed and several maids surrounded him to serve him. The old man no longer had the wisdom and power he had before. His saliva flowed down his open mouth uncontrollably. The maid quickly wiped off with a white towel, and Zhang Yong's eyes looked at the top of the bed without any attention.

Mr. Zhang hurriedly leaned over and shouted loudly in Zhang Yong's ear:

"Brother, brother, Jiang Feng is here to see you!!"

Jiang Feng was in a very gloomy mood when he walked out of Zhang's mansion. Zhang Yong seemed to have consciousness, but his body was completely unable to make corresponding movements. Maybe it was better to die now, so as to avoid such pain. Jiang Feng was also clearly aware that the big tree he was relying on was about to fall.

When he was about to go out, Zhang Yuan, who hadn't said anything, seemed to remember it, and called Jiang Feng, took out the black iron ring on Zhang Yong's finger, and said timidly:

"My brother said that if he couldn't do it, he would give you this, saying that it was all about wealth and honor. I remember that he hadn't seen him bring this with him when he was in Xuanhua, and I don't know what it means."

Jiang Feng listened to Zhang Erye's words in a mess, and reached out to take the ring and put it on the middle finger of his left hand, suppressing the sadness in his heart. He wanted to say a few goodbye words, but found that he could not say anything, so he clasped his fists and left the place.

On the third day, Huifenglou's business returned to normal. After all, the reason why people came here to eat was not to please Zhang Yong, but that Huifenglou's food and environment were indeed the leader in the capital.

In the afternoon, Xu Tianbiao and Xu Quan came to Jiang Feng's wine shop. Jiang Feng no longer dared to leave the wine shop to do other things. The situation in the capital is changing rapidly, and no one knows what changes will happen next.

Xu Tianbiao's face was exhausted, and Xu Quan looked very depressed. Xu Tianbiao spoke directly to Jiang Feng:

"I will leave the capital tonight and go to Nanjing. I don't know what the governor said to Lu Dutang before. I was dropped into the Qianhu, a Jinyiwei in Nanjing. It is a good location. Xu Quan also wants to follow me. Uncle here to advise you, some things are outside the body, and life is still important at critical moments."

Jiang Feng knew that the other party meant that he had offended too many people in Beijing. Without Zhang Yong's blessing, the wealth of the family would be like a piece of flesh and blood that attracted jackals, tigers and leopards. The uncle and nephew of the Xu family came here mainly to take away the thousands of taels of silver that were stored in Jiang Feng's hands.

The common money they should have received over the past year was stored in this place. Jiang Feng took out the money from the cabinet next to them without saying a word and gave it to them.

Manager Wang noticed that Li Hechun and Xiang’s elder brother-in-law have not come to Huifeng Tower in recent days, but this attention flashed by. There were too many things to worry about for him, and a few customers were still small things.

On the fourth day after Zhang Yong suffered a stroke, the diners did not see any actions against Jiang Feng. They all came to Huifeng Tower with confidence and boldness to enjoy this exquisite and unique food and service. The lunchtime time just passed, and it was just when the guests were full of guests, and there were no empty seats.

Li Hechun, who had always arrived early, appeared at this time, but he did not follow his father-in-law Xiang, followed a few people with him. When Manager Wang saw it, he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face. However, if there was no seat, he had to tell the truth. He walked up to him and said:

"My husband, it's a coincidence. Now there are all over the upper and lower floors. Why don't you drink some tea and wait for a while?"

In the past, Li Hechun also said he would wait and wait, and there was no such thing as polite words. Today, the answer to Manager Wang was a slap. Before Manager Wang could react, he was kicked down by Li Hechun. Li Hechun scolded him fiercely there:

"I came here to eat for you to give your restaurant a face. I have to wait. I'll beat me if I don't have any eyes..."

The servants who were following Li Hechun were obviously prepared and were ready to go up and beat him when they heard the order, but the voice of their master stopped abruptly, and then a scream came from their ears, followed by a scream.

The servant who turned around quickly saw that Li Hechun was grabbed by Jiang Feng behind him and picked it up, and then fell heavily to the ground. Li Hechun had no longer had the caution and pleasing of the past year. He endured the pain on the ground and twisted his face and cursed fiercely at Jiang Feng:

"Dogman, you don't want to live anymore, and you dare to hit me."

Jiang Feng looked at Li Hechun, who was lying on the ground but was still extremely rampant, and asked casually:

"Why don't you know I dare not hit you?"
