Chapter 51 Rogue
"Look for the Fourth Master?"
"That's right, the Fourth Master has a lot of money in the business we are waiting for. I'm going to come to him."
"But the Fourth Master is from Quanzhou. He is doing business in Guangzhou. Can he beat the prefect of Guangzhou City?"
Qin Youli was an old accountant in Renhoufang, Xiangshan County. He had neither walked through the sea nor entered the officialdom, and had no news. Even if he had heard of the Zheng family's power, he would only be a legend. With his cognitive level, he could not understand that a maritime overlord and a trade giant could control the military and political affairs of Fujian Province and the appointment and removal of military generals in Fujian Province.
He even didn't know that Zheng Chenggong, who was later generations, even fought with the Qing Dynasty for a province of Fujian with his family, and even sent troops to Nanjing.
It is better to say that Zheng Chenggong's Zheng family is a businessman family, than to say that the Zheng family is the Minshang who actually controls Fujian.
After all, Qin Zhao is a time traveler, with far more knowledge than ordinary people in this era, knowing the future history and understanding the past and future of the times. With Qin Zhao's identity as a time traveler, he has another evaluation of the strength of the Zheng family.
At this time, only Zheng Chenggong can save Qin Zhao's business.
"Let's go, I'll go to Zheng Mansion!"
Qin Zhao no longer hesitated and walked towards the Zheng family with his old accountant and two servants.
When he walked to the Zheng family's store, Qin Zhao found the familiar shopkeeper Zheng Wen, and wanted to meet Zheng Siye.
Seeing that Qin Zhao was anxious, the shopkeeper looked at the entourage behind Qin Zhao and said regretfully: "Boss Qin, you came here unfortunately. The Fourth Master went back to Quanzhou with the ship the day before yesterday to meet the Grand Marshal."
Qin Zhao's heart sank.
Qin Youli looked at Qin Zhao in panic, and whispered to Qin Zhao's ear and said, "Master, is the Fourth Master who heard the wind and stopped waiting?"
Qin Zhao frowned at Qin Youli and thought to himself that this old accountant had no knowledge.
Zheng Chenggong's hero, dares to act and take responsibility. He will make it clear if he doesn't help Qin Zhao. How could he hide it at a critical moment?
He asked the shopkeeper of the Zheng family seriously: "Shopkeeper, how long will it take for the Fourth Master to return to Guangzhou to take charge."
The shopkeeper said: "The Fourth Master went back to Quanzhou to meet the Grand Marshal. It was hard to say at this time. Maybe he came back in half a month, but maybe it would take a month. It depends on the arrangements of the Grand Marshal and the Fourth Master."
Qin Youli panickedly patted his thigh with his left hand and said in a panic: "What should I do? I'm really unlucky!"
The shopkeeper saw Qin Youli's panic look and asked curiously: "What? Boss Qin has something important to look for the Fourth Master?"
Qin Zhao said honestly: "It's really an important matter, it involves the business of our joint stock with the Fourth Master."
When he heard the five words "share-sharing business", the shopkeeper became serious.
"Since it is involved in the deal between the Fourth Master, I think the Fourth Master wants to hear the news at all times. I will transport a ship of cargo from Guangzhou City to Quanzhou tomorrow, and take the sea route. According to the weather, it will take five days to arrive in Quanzhou. If Boss Qin is really anxious, I will write a letter today to the ship owner on the ship, and ask the ship owner to hand it to the Fourth Master."
Qin Zhao showed joy on his face.
In five days, it took about ten days to go, and I should be able to support myself in Guangzhou.
"Then let's borrow a pair of ink from the shopkeeper. I will write a letter here and hand it over to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's will transfer it to the boat boss for me!"
The shopkeeper Zheng Wen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll ask someone to prepare an envelope for Boss Qin."
After a while, the letter envelope is ready.
Qin Zhao spread his pen and ink and thought for a long time.
In the end, he splashed ink and only wrote more than a dozen big words on the letter paper.
"The traitor is planning to seize the soft chair and hopes that the Fourth Master will return quickly."
...
On this day, Qin Zhao sat in a shop on Hongliu Street, watching the customers entering and leaving his shop.
Qin Zhao originally hired three blacksmiths to make steel wires for himself. Because Liu Datou was beaten, the other blacksmiths were afraid. Qin Zhao could not find a new blacksmith to make up for Liu Datou's vacancy, and Qin Zhao's sofa production capacity decreased.
Qin Zhao, who could produce forty soft chairs a day, can only produce twenty-five ones now.
Qin Zhao sat in the store, in a bad mood and frowned.
He was unhappy there, but suddenly heard a raucous noise coming from the distance from the street.
Qin Wuji, who was in charge of business in the store, ran to the street and took a look, then ran back.
"Not good, the boss, a group of people came over with the guys, and seemed to be coming to me to wait."
"Maybe Lu Zihong's people are here! The boss!"
Qin Zhao frowned and stood up to greet him.
On Hongliu Street, more than 20 scoundrels in the city, led by a scholar with a short stick, rushed towards the sofa shop where Qin Zhao was. While walking, these people knocked on the green bricks on the ground with the long sticks on their hands, making crackling sounds, making the pedestrians walking on the road scared and quickly avoided them.
While knocking on the ground, these gangsters were still shouting.
"Qin Zhao, a troublemaker in Xiangshan County, took my property, and we are here to find justice."
"The unlucky Qin Zhao dares to imitate the soft chair designed by my young master, and he deserves to be a death sentence!"
"It's a rebellion, I dare to imitate my son's things!"
Walking to Qin Zhao's soft chair shop, these people formed a circle and a half, surrounding Qin Zhao's shop to death.
Where have the customers in the store seen this? They were so scared that they quickly left and all of them were exposed in an instant.
There were many people watching the fun outside the shop, and there were a lot of people watching the show, one meter away from the outside, and a large number of people were watching the show.
"Qin Zhao! Come out for me!"
"Qin Zhao comes out!"
A tough gangster suddenly knocked on the door post of the shop with a stick.
This Ming Dynasty building had no steel bars as a skeleton, and there was a column to support the roof every ten feet away. Qin Zhao's store's store had a wide storefront, so there were actually two door posts to support it in the open storefront.
The gangsters knocked on the doorpost under the leadership of a young man, as if they were about to tear down the store without seeing Qin Zhao.
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Zhao stood up and said coldly to the gangsters.
When the gangsters saw Qin Zhao coming out, they all stopped shouting and looked at Qin Zhao with a fierce look.
The leading scholar laughed and said, "Just, a big joke. A thief who steals the secret recipe of my young master's soft chair dares to stand in front of me and confront us!"
"You believe that my brother, one by one, broke your store?"
Qin Zhao took a breath and knew that the prefect's nephew started to test this further. Liu Datou did not fight back after being beaten. Since you didn't fight back when you hit you in the important production process, then I will go to your store directly. Seeing that you still use the relationship behind it, why don't you fight back?
If you don’t use the relationship, you may be a real villain with no background and you can rub it at will.
