On this day, a carriage came outside the gate of Duke Xi's mansion. Anyone who knows the goods will know that these two carriages are not simple. The outside looks no different from an ordinary carriage, but the inside is extremely luxurious.
These two carriages were limited edition carriages made by Chang'an Zhang's Carriage and Horse Company. A total of one hundred were produced and they promised never to build such carriages again in the future.
The shopkeeper of Zhang's Carriage and Horse Racing Shop is an old man who used to live in Jijiazhuangzi. He had built a palace before and was a carpenter. After Ji's family became prosperous, he also received support, and slowly started to build a chariot and horse business. Coupled with the fact that he is honest in business and lives well, business is naturally pretty good.
Then he asked Ji Song to give him some advice. Ji Song didn't refuse and just drew a few drawings. Unexpectedly, they became a hit. In particular, the shock absorbing measures and the emergence of the steering shaft have made it the first choice for wealthy families.
Therefore, those who could afford these two carriages were definitely rich or noble in the Tang Dynasty. They were either members of the royal family or from aristocratic families. It has become a status symbol!
When Butler Liu got the news, he didn't dare to neglect it. Although he didn't know who it was, it was definitely not simple. Send someone to notify the owner first, and then go quickly to entertain him!
"Is Mr. Xi here?"
Seeing Lao Liu, the man asked as soon as he got off the carriage.
"The head of the family is reading a book and has already sent someone to report it!"
Old Liu was a little surprised to see the person coming, but he obviously knew who this person was. Thinking about it, there are only a few people who can ride on these two carriages.
"The master of the house will arrive shortly. Prince Consort, please follow me to the living room and wait!"
Yes, it was Lawyer Pei who came. After learning about the trouble his uncle had caused, he knew that this time things were going to be serious. In the morning, he had already begged Princess Lin'an to come to the palace to intercede. Although he felt that it would not be of much use, he at least hoped that the emperor would give him a lighter punishment for the sake of his family.
But just this morning, the emperor directly ordered the naval fleet to clear out "pirates" and eliminate "bandits" at sea to ensure the safety of Datang's maritime trade, citing the request of Ji Song, Duke of Nang.
And he had no intention of discussing with anyone, and directly ordered the naval fleet to have discretionary power when the situation arises. Everyone knows exactly who this imperial edict is aimed at. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, it is useless to look for the emperor. Now I can only come to Ji Song and hope that he will not go too far.
Otherwise, Pei's newly established advantage at sea will be completely lost. Other aristocratic families will never miss this golden opportunity. Once the Pei family loses power, other wolves will swarm in.
Although there is a lot of wealth at sea, who made Pei go too fast?
While others were still in the stage of accumulation and exploration, the Pei family was better off, and they immediately occupied a territory and were granted a title and recognition by the court?
Is it okay now? Everyone is standing on the same starting line, but you run ahead of everyone? How can other people play with this?
The aristocratic families are connected by the same spirit, but they also need to share their time!
Since entering the sea, everyone has understood one thing. The era of everyone joining a group to stay warm has passed. Now who can quickly gain a foothold on the sea is the most important thing.
The first-mover advantage is too obvious, one step is faster and the other is faster. Looking at the current Pei family, it can be said that it is unique in the sea, and it is also developing at an extremely fast speed, which makes many people unhappy.
But everyone had a tacit understanding before, and knew that this was not the time for everyone to fight openly and secretly, so they were still restrained. But Mr. Pei was a little unruly this time and dared to secretly withdraw money and lay a trap for Mr. Zheng.
If Zheng Qian hadn't discovered it in time, Zheng would have been in trouble this time!
A single accusation of evil intentions can bring Zheng to a complete loss, which is chilling to see. If you, Mr. Pei, can treat Mr. Zheng like this today, will you be able to use other methods to deal with them tomorrow?
This time, Mr. Pei has committed public outrage and committed suicide. If he doesn't add insult to injury, even if it's because of his past friendship, he still expects them to come to the rescue?
Phew, what a beautiful thought!
Lawyer Pei also saw this, so he came to Ji Song bravely. If there was any chance, he would never come to the Duke of Xi's Mansion.
How did they humiliate Ji in the first place? Stealing Ji's inheritance and pretending to give it back a few
This nonsense article says that this is the inheritance of your Ji family. If Ji Song hadn't ignored him because of something, it would have been another secret war.
When Ji Song heard that Lawyer Pei Pei was coming, there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he said to Lao Liu: "Go to the door to greet you. There should be people who haven't arrived yet. Let them chat first then, and I'll go change clothes!"
After speaking, he ignored the puzzled Old Liu and went directly to the back.
When Lao Liu came to the door and was wondering who it was, he saw the same carriage appearing at the door. After seeing the person getting off the carriage, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly stepped forward and said, "Greetings to the Master of the Zheng family!"
Zheng Qian was stunned. He came today to thank Ji Song for reminding him that day. He didn't send a greeting card to begin with. Why did it look like he was waiting for him?
"Are you waiting for me?"
He pointed at himself and said in disbelief.
Hearing this, Old Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, I don't know. Just now, the master of the house asked me to wait at the door before the guests arrived. But I didn't expect it to be you..."
"Hey, you've been pretending to be a fool all day long!"
Zheng Qian didn't take it seriously, but according to Lao Liu, there was someone before him?
"Who came before? Is it a distinguished guest? If it's inconvenient for me to come back another day?"
Zheng Qian knew that it was a bit presumptuous for him to come here today. If there were really distinguished guests, it would be unlucky for him to come!
"A distinguished guest is a distinguished guest, but..."
Of course Lao Liu knew what happened in the past few days, and he was the one who spread the news about many things.
"Forget it, you'd better go and see for yourself. The head of the family said he would let you chat first, and he will arrive soon."
Now it was Zheng Qian's turn to be curious, who is it? But it seems like he should know him. Seeing Lao Liu's embarrassed look, he didn't ask any more questions. He would find out later anyway.
"Well, I want to see who this "distinguished guest" is! "
After saying that, he walked into the mansion under the leadership of Lao Liu.
At this time, in the lobby, Lawyer Pei couldn't sit still after waiting for a while. He drank the tea three times, but no one was seen. Although tea is good tea, it also comes in its own time. Even if he drinks the immortal tea now, he can't taste it!
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Lawyer Pei was immediately overjoyed and was about to go out to greet him!
Zheng Qian was also curious about who it was. When he walked to the door and saw someone coming out, he looked up and became furious!
"Old man, how dare you appear in front of me?"
When Lawyer Pei saw who the visitor was, he was dumbfounded. This was really not about enemies getting together. He knew everything Pei did to Zheng, but he felt guilty just because he knew it!
"Brother Zheng..."
"Bah! Who is your brother? I will fight with you!"
Then without saying a word, he pounced on him, trying to fight him tooth and nail!
"Quick, stop them!"
Old Liu knew something was going to happen at the first sight. The two of them were almost a hundred years old together. It would be fine if nothing happened during the fight. If something happened, his family would be in trouble, so he quickly sent someone to break up the fight.
"Hey, Brother Zheng, wait a minute. We have something to talk about. I didn't know about this before!"
"Bah, you, Mr. Pei, don't have any good friends. You just want to die on your own, and you want to drag me, Mr. Zheng? How do you feel at ease?"
"Let me go, why don't you teach this old man a lesson today? Do you really think that I, Mrs. Zheng, are easy to bully?"
After saying that, he broke away while Lao Liu was not paying attention, went up and gave Lawyer Pei a kick, and immediately kicked Lawyer Pei to the ground.
Lawyer Pei was immediately confused. When had he ever been so embarrassed since he was a child? At this time, do you still remember the upbringing of the aristocratic family? If you don't fight back, how will you survive in the Tang Dynasty in the future?
So, regardless of Lao Liu's dissuasion, the two got into a scuffle, and even Lao Liu, who tried to stop the fight, received a few punches.
"Mom, it doesn't matter, just watch, as long as you don't break it, let them do whatever they want!"
No matter how good-tempered Lao Liu was, he was still angry. He tried to break up the fight with good intentions, but not only did he not
It landed well and gave me a few punches. He touched his eyes and took a deep breath.
If nothing else happens, I'm sure to stand in the eyes of an iron-eating beast tomorrow.
Half an hour later, Ji Songcai arrived belatedly!
When I saw him lying on the ground, his clothes were disheveled and all his clothes were in strips of cloth, and he also saw several footprints. His face was even more unsightly, with patches of green and purple, which made him grin slightly!
"What...what's going on?"
Ji Song asked the two people on the ground with a "surprised" look on his face.
"snort!"
"snort!"
But the two of them glared at each other, turned their heads away, and ignored him.
Brother Ji Songtao was bored, and he was even more speechless when he saw the dark circles under Lao Liu Yeding's eyes. He wondered: "How come you were beaten too?"
Old Liu looked at his master with a grievance on his face. Not to mention the grievance in his heart, he was filled with tears!
"Okay, okay, go and have a look!"
Before Lao Liu could tell his grievances, he was driven away by the impatient Ji Song. Who cares to listen to your grievances now? Didn't you see that the two people on the ground are already in good shape?
"Come here!"
Ji Song saw that this was not an option, so he ordered: "Go clean up these two gentlemen. They are respectable people after all. If this spreads out, how will they be seen?"
The guard suppressed his smile and said hurriedly: "It's the master of the house! Go here, little one, and keep the clean and white one!"
The two people on the ground tensed up when they saw the conversation between these two unscrupulous masters and servants, feeling an ominous premonition! I want to refuse, but seeing myself like this is not suitable, but I can’t bear to accept it.
Just when they were struggling, the guards took them away one by one regardless of their mood, completely ignoring their yelling!
An hour later, the two people reappeared in the lobby, newly dressed. Their bodies were clean, but the bruises on their faces would not go away for a while. Looking at the appearance of the two people, Ji Song almost laughed!
"Please sit down, both of you!"
Suppressing a smile, he invited the two of them to sit down.
"Today, I will give Mr. Xi some face, otherwise this man will never sit with me. From now on, he will be there without me, and I will be without him!"
Zheng Qian is even more angry now, "Good boy, it's obviously your Pei's fault, but I'm just so angry that I can't beat you. What's wrong?" How dare you fight back? Are you not ready to admit it?
"Hmph! Do you think I want to be with you? If I weren't at Duke Xin's house today, I would definitely make you look good!"
Lawyer Pei never lost his battle. Even though he was beaten a little badly, he was very tough on his words.
However, this time Zheng Qian was not angry at all. He just sneered and said: "I hope you will still be so stubborn later. You are so good, Mr. Pei. You can only stand out on the sea, but don't you stretch your hands a little too long? You dare to do anything." If you participate, you will offend everyone. I think your Pei family's foundation will completely decline in your hands."
"My pity to Duke Xuanzhen, but Duke Hongda's great reputation has been ruined in the hands of a shameless villain like you. I will decide which two of you will meet depending on how shameless you will be after your death."
Teng~
Lawyer Pei was furious, stood up immediately, and said angrily: "You..."
"Humph, what's wrong with me? Is what I said wrong? Think about how powerful the Pei family was when Duke Xuanzhen and Duke Hong were alive? A family with two prime ministers, but in your hands, haha, only What a dirty trick."
Zheng Qian was so unforgiving with his words that Lawyer Pei almost went berserk!
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Ji Song had to come out and persuade him: "Hey, I mean, you two, we all want face, why are you so tense? Let's sit down and talk slowly, talk slowly if you have anything to say. !」
Hearing Ji Song's words, the two of them snorted coldly, but luckily they both sat down, giving Ji Song some face.
"Brother Lawyer, we are old acquaintances. I was in a hurry for my "favor" back then. I thought my descendants of the Ji family were unworthy and lost the ancestral inheritance. Brother Lawyer can help us find it in time, which can be regarded as a help to us. Very busy. "
Ji Song said with a serious look: "Although that thing is useless, it is left by our ancestors after all. Even if it is no longer useful, we must keep it well."
"Do you think this is true?"
When Lawyer Pei heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. What the hell is this!
He was not the head of the family at that time, but after all, it was his Pei family who did it, and now he must take over.
"What happened at the beginning was that I, Mr. Pei, did something wrong. The relics of your ancestors were then sent over. I heard that Mr. Xi was addicted to books. Although I, Mr. Pei, are not talented, my collection of books is rare in the world. As long as you can see If you can, feel free to copy it."
"Huh? Transcribe it!"
Ji Song picked up the teacup and drank tea. Lawyer Pei felt even more bitter after seeing it. Holding back his heartache, he said, "I made a mistake just now. Mr. Hao can just take the original copy that he has read. How about that?"
Hearing this, Ji Song put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Why are you so embarrassed? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others like, so how can this be what a gentleman does? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"
Ji Song waved his hands repeatedly.
Zheng Qian watched with great pleasure. Seeing Mr. Pei lower his head, he felt happy. Hum, I made you arrogant, now you know you are afraid? late!
"No, no, no, Mr. Xi is one of the few literary masters in the world. These books are perfect for him to have in his hands. Please don't refuse, Mr. Xi!"
Seeing the "sincere" lawyer Pei, Ji Song said helplessly: "Hey, I have collected countless books in my life, just so that future generations can see the works of my ancestors. For this reason, I have made a big wish, even if I have to bear infamy. How about it? Since Mrs. Pei is so kind, if I refuse, wouldn’t I be betraying your kindness?"
Snapped!
He slammed the table, saluted Lawyer Pei in his horrified eyes, and said loudly: "On behalf of thousands of students, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Pei for his righteousness for future generations of students!"
Zheng Qian looked at Lawyer Pei who was suffering and couldn't express his pain, and suddenly felt sympathy for him. When he met Ji Song, Mr. Pei had been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and he acted in a determined manner. He could see it today.
