Chapter 86: The calamity of greed

In the Thousand Households, a batch of New Year’s goods were delivered, and there were a few large trucks, ranging from meat to fruits and vegetables, and even cloth, which was very rich.

The rest of the Thousand Houses feel that everyone can benefit from it. Although not much, they can save time to buy it.

Zhou Fang took the New Year's goods list and asked Qianhu to meet Qianhu. When the Qianhu heard that someone had come from Donghuamen Hundred Houses, he was very excited and ordered Zhou Fang to come in and speak.

In the lobby of Qianhu House, the new Qianhu Cheng Wen sat upright on the head. He was burly and a little fat. He was about 40 years old. Although he showed a rich look, his skin was not fair, which made people feel like he was lean.

Zhou Fang went in and bowed and said, "Students have met the adults."

Cheng Wen smiled, just nodded lightly, and said, "Why, you came here to ask for a meeting, don't know what's going on?"

Zhou Fang smiled and said, "Isn't it almost the New Year? Hao Baihu is thinking about the brothers in Qianhu's office, so he ordered the students to send some New Year's goods. Although the gift was light, it was also my intention. I would like to ask the adults and the brothers in Wei to accept it with a smile."

Cheng Wen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is that so? Take it for a look."

Zhou Fang greeted the gift list. Cheng Wen lowered his head and looked at it. He was still smiling at the beginning, but gradually, his smile became cold. He threw the gift list aside, looked at Zhou Fang with a grim smile, and said, "Is this a gift from the person named Hao?"

Zhou Fang felt something was wrong. In fact, this gift is quite heavy. Compared with other hundreds of households, it is probably more expensive. After all, Zhou Fang is a person who knows the rules. In addition to New Year's goods, he at least made a golden Buddha to give it to him, which was nearly 100 taels of silver. But now, looking at Lord Cheng's attitude, it seems...

Cheng Wen picked up the gift list again, played with it in his hand, then put it in his palm, opened it, tore it to pieces one by one. He threw the paper with a grim smile, and said sternly: "I can't afford this gift. What is Hao Fenglou? I thought that after climbing a high branch and getting a royal uniform, I dared to be arrogant on my head? Take your things back and tell him that it's not his turn to play wild in this Neidongcheng!"

Zhou Fang was shocked. This was a dignified thousand households. Zhou Fang hurriedly bowed: "Sir... I have something to say!"

Cheng Wen raised his sleeves without leaving any face: "Get out!"

…………………………

Several trucks of New Year's goods were turned away, which caught Zhou Fang off guard. He even knew that the hundred households had earned a lot of money in the past two months. In time, the whole hundred households would be in a gold rush every day. At that time, many people would be jealous. Even in the Beizhen Prefecture Department, there were no one who wanted to get a share of the pie. But he never expected that the Thousand Houses would be so rude and could not satisfy such a "high gift". Looking at this attitude, I was afraid that I would have liked to put my hand into the hundred households and empty the mountains of gold and silver.

He just shook his head in his heart. He thought about getting the money when he had no money. Now that he has got so much money, he is even more troublesome. The statement made by Lord Qianhu today is really uneasy.

Zhou Fang left in shame, and at this moment, Qianhu Cheng Wen's face turned pale and a few sneers came out of his mouth.

At this moment, someone came out of his ear room and couldn't help but smile and said, "My Lord Cheng, don't be angry, what did I say just now? What kind of person is Hao Fenglou? Don't say you are a thousand households, even if you are his, he will still send you beggars to send you. Your Thousand Houses in Dongcheng, and the hundred households are now fresh clothes and angry horses. The flags on the bottom, the small flags and even the school captains, and the strong men are also very popular. On the contrary, you are a thousand households, but you are still suffering. The yin and yang are inverted, and the upper and lower levels are disordered. According to me, who has the final say in the future of Dongcheng? It's really different that Shangguan and Xiaguan have no reason to eat the big head and Shangguan doesn't even get some oil and water? If he uses this money to win over others, what should he do if the lower ones defeat him? Alas... I am really worried about Lord Cheng."

Cheng Wen shouted in a low voice: "Don't be sowed, what does Lord Yang mean?"

The person who came was Yang Xian. He came one step earlier than Zhou Fang. He came to negotiate some official duties with Cheng Wen in the name of Yingtian Mansion. Just when Zhou Fang met, he avoided the ear room. As soon as Zhou Fang left, he came out naturally.

Yang Xian smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng is deceiving himself. At this time, does Mr. Cheng still think I am provoking trouble? I just warned me that if I don't take action, it will be too late. I will take down this Haofenglou and the money of the Donghua Gate Hundred Households in the future..."

When he said this, a trace of greed flashed through Cheng Wen's eyes. There would be more money in tens of thousands of taels of silver every month. Who wouldn't be jealous when he saw it? He stroked the desk and pondered for a long time before saying, "What do you have to do with me?"

Yang Xian smiled: "I don't dare to take it when I see the tutor, but..."

Zhou Fang went back in shame and reported to Hao Fenglou. The attitude of the Qianhu Lord made Hao Fenglou frown. In fact, from the beginning, he had no intention of giving Qianhu a share, so he could get some money, but if he wanted to share the spoils, it would be like he worked hard to make wedding clothes for others. Hao Fenglou would never do such a thing.

He just nodded and said to Zhou Fang: "Forget it, let him go."

There are many things that hundreds of households have to be busy with, and I really can't help but pay attention to other things, so Hao Fenglou has been very busy these days, so he is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground.

But at this time, Hao Fenglou didn't know that in a gambling house in Yongchunfang in Donghuamen, one of the strong men lost their eyes and directly bet on a sword.

This man is about thirty years old and has a burly figure. He looks like a man from the public. Originally, the man from the public wanted to come and try his luck, and the gambling shop was welcome, but now, he has taken the sword directly, and it is obvious that he is anxious and is about to cause trouble.

The man smiled coldly and said, "Where does this knife cost you 20 taels? Come on, come on, come on, start a bet!"

When the casino saw it, he quickly winked at the companions around him, and the companions quickly went to report to the head.

The head of the company came out and glanced at the man. Then he hurried forward and said with a smile: "Sir, come here to play. The whole story of the casino is honored. It's just a small gambling that makes you feel good. A big gambling hurts your body. This might be the case. How much money did the adult lose? The villain will return it. As for this knife, the villain will never dare to accept it."

This man sneered repeatedly: "Is that so? Whoever wants your money, I just want to bet, come, come..."

When a gambling shop encounters such a thing, if you know that the other party has a background, you will usually see off guests. However, looking at the other party, you will know that things cannot be good. They dare not bet. Besides, even if you continue to bet, God knows what excessive demands this guy will have, so the head of the head of the court without saying a word, quickly winked at the client around you and asked them to inform the hundred-household office immediately. The head of the head of the head of the house was trying his best to deal with it and said with a smile: "Sir, why bother..."

The man shouted: "What nonsense? If you don't gamble, I will smash your doorstep!"

As he was talking, there was a Jinyiwei patrolling the streets outside. It was Xiaoqi Wang Chang. Wang Chang said: "Who is causing trouble here? Do you not know the rules of Donghuamen?"

Not only was this man not afraid, he carried his hands on his back and sneered at Wang Chang, Xiaoqi: "I don't know the rules of Donghuamen, but I know what the rules are in the Jinyiwei. I am Zhu Jian, deputy of the Qianhu Office of the Dongcheng Qianhu Office in the Jinyiwei. Who are you? A small small flag dares to be arrogant in front of me? Do you know the consequences of the roaring Shangguan in the Beizhen Prefecture Department?"
