Chapter 354 Visiting the Su Family
"Cry. Ha" the door opened, and an old man walked out with a load.
I have to get up at three o'clock every day, just to make the things I pick on my shoulders. There are tender tofu and tofu made from tofu Zhang, which is well-known around me.
As before, after making tofu, except for leaving half of it for my daughter to sell at home, the rest must be carried around the streets and alleys to sell.
However, today is different from the past.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw a mass of things and stayed under a tree.
Old Zhang's eyes needed to bean curd. After getting closer, he observed it again, but found that there was a bright red spot there.
Blood!
Tofu Zhang continued to take two steps forward with courage, and then he saw clearly that under the big tree, it was a dead person!
The man was bald and wearing a torn jacket. In fact, he was not ragged, but after being cut several times, he became so ragged.
Bald Li! Tofu Zhang knows this person, this person is the thug who has always been evil here!
"Bang!" Put down the load, bald Li ran to the nearby yamen.
The bald Li died and died on the roadside. The news immediately reached Luo Guanzhong. At this time, Luo Guanzhong had just finished reporting to Chen Feng.
Originally, Chen Feng was a little dissatisfied with Luo Guanzhong's report. What he disliked the most was competition by any means.
From the perspective of origin, Chen Feng is also a businessman and has his own understanding of doing business. Since he is doing business, there will inevitably be competition. Legitimate competition will help promote the growth of the entire industry, which are worth encouraging.
However, if Qiao Rang takes over and relies on his own financial resources to engage in malicious competition, such as setting fire, burning someone's house, and then occupying the house, this behavior has already violated Chen Feng's bottom line.
Even if it is not Han Xue's aunt or any other citizen, Chen Feng will investigate the case to the end.
Now, seeing that the matter is about to be exposed, the other party actually uses the method of killing and silence, which is even more of a crime.
Luo Guanzhong looked at Chen Feng's face and knew that he had been slowing down. He should have controlled these people after getting the news. He did not expect that the other party would take action so quickly.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered another thing: Where is the madam?
I got a reply soon. The madam had never come out since she entered the Su family yesterday.
One after another, someone replied that the bodies of other people, including the Bald Head Third, were found.
Last night, these people died tragically on the streets.
Originally, these things were all their own affairs, but now, they wanted to distract Lord Chen, and Luo Guanzhong felt very guilty.
Now, things have become a big deal, and it still has to be followed by Lord Chen.
Chen Feng was walking in his yard. Now, the Yingchunyuan, the madam, and these stutters are supporting roles, and the protagonist is obviously the Su family.
The Su family is a big shot in Pingjiang City. Although it is not as good as the Shen family, it is not much worse. The main part of the Su family is in addition to the grain business, and there are also fertile land outside Pingjiang City. They are both merchants and big landlords.
Originally, Chen Feng did not want to point his butcher knife at them for these people. After all, if Chen Feng wants to maintain his rule, he must pay attention to the interests of the lower classes and the so-called scholarly class.
When Chen Feng first came to Pingjiang, the Shen family organized a banquet for big merchants. There, Chen Feng met the old man of the Su family once. He was wise and smart, and could succeed in doing business and had great strength.
Although Chen Feng got the halo of fighting bravery, he has always been kind to these people. Perhaps, this is how he makes the other party feel that he can do something without worrying about being punished, right?
Thinking of this, there was something else in Chen Feng's eyes, and he was murderous.
Since the Su family wants to challenge its authority, then use the Su family to establish its reputation in Pingjiang.
Thinking of this, a plan had already come to Chen Feng's mind.
"Li Tieniu." Chen Feng said.
"At." Immediately, I ran in alone, and today, Li Tieniu was on duty.
"Take two hundred men and go to the Su family with me." Chen Feng said.
"Yes." Li Tieniu ran out to execute the order without any doubt.
"Mr. Chen?" Luo Guanzhong was still a little questioning. Now, all those who were in the information were killed and the clues were cut off. What can I find out when I go to the Su family at this time?
"Brother Luo, go with me. After a while, there is something you need to do." Chen Feng said, letting Luo Guanzhong hear him, and then continued to say it.
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Luo Guanzhong was amazed, is that okay?
Of course, he did not dare to doubt Chen Feng's approach, he could only obey the word.
Chen Feng was not concerned at all. For him, if his opponent and him were in charge of the rules, then he would be in charge of the rules. If the opponent did whatever he wanted, then Chen Feng would not be so polite.
All the evidence points to the Su family. The Su family must have had a conspiracy. Therefore, since Chen Feng does not have the clear ideas and clear decisions of Bao Qingtian, there is no guy named Yuan Fang around him. You can ask Yuan Fang what he thinks about everything, then he can only use the simplest and most effective way.
The tall blue brick walls, glazed tiles, the courtyard, the nine in and out, the rockery flowing water, the green trees, and the bright red flowers, almost all the wealthy families in Jiangnan deliberately made their homes gentle and elegant, very similar to their Wu-ling style.
Holding a bird cage in one hand and a folding fan in the other, a man in his forties was walking on the corridor, not knowing what he was humming in his mouth.
If you only look at him like this, you seem to be like those wandering men on the streets, and you are idle all day long. No one would believe that he is the master of the famous Su family in Pingjiang, Su Jiujiu.
Su Jiujiu is the name of the old man of the Su family before he became rich. Many people like to be elegant after they have become rich and change their names. Only the old man of the Su family seems to be very satisfied with their names and has never changed their names.
The family business was mainly handed over to his two sons to take care of. The old man of the Su family almost always was idle and lived a very comfortable life every day.
However, no one noticed that the old man looked like he was the same today, but in fact, his expression was always very unnatural.
Just as he was walking slowly, the butler ran over in panic.
"Master, Master." The housekeeper shouted loudly.
Seeing the butler like this, Su Jiujiu's face changed: "Why are you so panicked, what kind of discipline?"
"Master, there are a group of officers and soldiers outside, and they are all surrounded."
Officer and soldier? Hearing these two words, Su Jiujiu's face turned strange and returned to normal.
"Who is Li Du? Go out and take a look." Su Jiujiu took a steady step, put down the bird cage, and walked out.
When Su Jiujiu arrived at the door, two sedan chairs had just arrived here.
At this moment, Su Jiujiu looked confused, and then he saw the person coming out of the sedan chair, and immediately his face was filled with smiles.
Lord Chen, the actual ruler of Pingjiang Road, Lord Chen!
"Mr. Chen, it turns out that he is visiting the humble house. It's so bright." Su Jiujiu said immediately and walked forward a few steps.
The soldiers outside came to their place, maybe because Lord Chen was going to come to their home, that's all, Su Jiujiu comforted himself.
Although he himself knew very well what happened last night, all the evidence had been eliminated by himself. I am afraid there was no reason to cure his sins.
Thinking of this, he was full of confidence.
"Master Su, this time I'm having a lot of troubles to visit." Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Where, where, Lord Chen, don't say that. Just call Little Man Jiujiu. The word "Master" can't afford to accept it." Su Jiujiu said earnestly: "Mr. Chen is very welcome."
"Jiujiu, I heard that your Pingtan is very good here. I'll come today to enjoy it." Chen Feng said.
"Hello, sir, please come in there." Su Jiujiu said: "The villain will go and prepare immediately."
Pingjiang soft language, Pingtan is the general term for Pinghua and Tanci. In later generations, it was the most popular in the Qing Dynasty, but its emergence was very early. Now it is popular in Pingjiang, Jiang, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.
This kind of quiz is usually spoken on stage, and the content is mostly about the historical legend of the sword and the iron horse and the heroes who are powerful. Tanci usually raps, holding the three strings in hand, holding the pipa in hand, and singing by themselves. The content is mostly about legendary novels and folk stories with children's love. Pingdian and Tanci are both known for their delicate rap, and the soft Wu dialect is beautiful; some jokes are often interspersed in the performance, which is interesting. Tanci is sung by Wuyin, which is ups and downs, light, soft and gentle, and the strings and pa are very pleasant.
Almost all the big families in Pingjiang have this hobby, and Su Jiujiu, who has always been idle, is usually a good person, and he has a group of such people at home.
When Su Jiujiu heard Chen Feng say that he would listen to Pingtan, he became interested.
Another person in the sedan chair also came down, and Su Jiujiu also knew him. He was the celebrity around Lord Chen, Lord Luo.
"Please, Lord Luo." Su Jiujiu waited for the two of them to enter the door before following behind and leading him to the backyard.
Behind the rockery, under several green trees, a table was set up. Two adults were sitting there. Su Jiujiu didn't dare to sit there, standing there, serving these two adults.
In front of them were two beautiful women, stroking their pipa in their arms, fiddling for a few times, and then, with the rhythmic sound of the pipa and the gentle sound of the nightingale, it came out.
