The Gao family was originally just an ordinary merchant in Guangzhou, but it suddenly rose in the hands of the current head of the family, Gao Hongtu. It is an exaggeration to say that www.biquge.info became rich overnight, but in just a few years, he has become one of the richest people in Guangzhou from an ordinary merchant, not only operating the largest money bank in Guangzhou, but also getting involved in other industries, doing whatever he wants.

He has a close relationship with the Guangzhou government, and has money, which shop is prosperous, so he applies both soft and hard, and the government presses and silver together, and the other party's business and shop are rarely missed, and there are a few who are unwilling to sell their ancestral business, and finally end up with a broken family.

Xia Nan sighed when he heard it, this phenomenon is also common in the old time and space, in the land of China, no matter ancient or modern, it is difficult to make a fortune by abiding by the law and doing business, only the collusion of officials and businessmen, coupled with ruthlessness, can quickly accumulate wealth. However, this kind of nouveau riche wealth comes from the wrong way, the foundation is not strong, and the fortune is fast, and the loser is also fast.

"This time, he took a fancy to our cotton business, and the Zhang family also had connections in Guangzhou, which made him a little jealous, so that he would not resort to indiscriminate means, but only make a fuss through official relationships. If you change to other ordinary merchants, I'm afraid that there will be gangsters in the store to make trouble at both ends in three days, so that you can't do business, and you won't know when you go out and be knocked out of the stick. ”

Zhang Mingli felt very depressed, he was originally a side branch of the Zhang family, belonging to the forgotten and neglected role, so he could only raise his own funds and go to Qiongzhou to do the private salt trade that the Zhang family disdained, until he met Xia Nan, a nobleman, who started a cotton cloth business, and was valued by the family, and he could get close to the inner circle of the family, but he encountered this kind of bad luck. Although the power of the Zhang family is not weak, but when it encounters a black-and-white character like Gao Hongtu, it is impossible to parry, and once the cloth shop is swallowed by it, he will fall into the dust and become the abandoned son of the Zhang family.

Xia Nan got a lot of useful information from Zhang Mingli's introduction: the Gao family not only colluded with the government, but also walked between black and white, so they could drive gangsters at will, and they could knock on the sticks behind their backs, maybe there were evil servants and thugs at home. In this way, this operation should be more careful.

Seeing that Zhang Mingli had no more news to provide to him, Xia Nan got up and said goodbye. Zhang Mingli repeatedly failed to keep him, so he had to send him out in person.

After the group left Zhang's house, they found an inconspicuous inn to live in. This kind of inn is full of men and pawns, and the three religions and nine streams are mixed in it, and it is not easy to attract attention.

Combined with the situation introduced by Zhang Mingli, they discussed the plan overnight. Xia Nan concluded: "The Gao family is very rich, and it is likely to raise thugs, our purpose is to kill Gao Hongtu without exposing himself." ”

Yang Youji narrowed his eyes, "If you can sneak into the Gao family and give me a bow, I can take his life." But how can you infiltrate Gao's house without being discovered? ”

Huang Mengjia was used to going straight and slashing and killing, and he was not very accustomed to this method of assassination, and said: "This is really troublesome. It would be nice if I could lead the men and horses to kill them, and I would have more than enough to fight ten of those bullshit thugs. ”

"Are you afraid that others won't know that we did it? If we expose ourselves and the cloth shop is seized by the government, what's the point of killing Gao Hongtu? Xia Nan glared at him dissatisfied.

This kind of action is not what Yang Youji and Huang Mengjia are good at, Xia Nan comes from a modern society with a sound legal system, and has little experience. After thinking about it, Xia Nan still decided to step on the spot first and understand the layout of the Gao family's house before making plans.

The group left the inn and went to Huifu Street, where Gao's house was located.

When passing through an open field, the crowd was full of voices, and a large group of people gathered in a large circle to watch the excitement, and from time to time there were cheers. Xia Nan and the others had something on their minds, so they didn't have time to pay attention, so they turned a corner and prepared to go around.

At this moment, a spherical object crossed the crowd and spun and flew towards the summer south.

In addition to learning taekwondo in his spare time, his biggest hobby is football, and he used to be the main midfielder of the school team. At this time, I saw this spherical object flying over, subconsciously turned sideways and stopped with my chest, and after unloading it, I swung my leg and kicked it back, and several movements were done in one go, like flowing water.

After kicking it out, I felt that the object was soft and hard, quite elastic, a bit like a football.

The crowd of onlookers turned their heads to see this scene, stunned for a moment, and applauded, which made Xia Nan scratch his head.

A man in a short coat walked out of the crowd, holding a football-like thing in his left hand, looked Xia Nan up and down, and said, "This brother is very eye-catching, is he interested in playing?" ”

Summer Nan was confused: "What are you playing?" ”

The man looked at him with strange eyes: "You kick so slippery, why do you still ask to play?" Keju! ”

Keju? Football in ancient times? Xia Nan then understood. In his impression, Keju seems to have been popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, the Song Dynasty reached its peak, and it declined after the Yuan Dynasty.

He smiled: "There's still something to do next, and I'm out of company." "Turn around and want to leave.

The man grabbed him: "The level of the people in this game is not very good, it is rare to meet an expert, and it is itchy not to discuss with you!" ”

Xia Nan was unhappy, if someone usually asked him to play a street ball game, he might have agreed, but now he is going to step on a point, ready to do illegal things, how can he be in this mood. This person is a strong man, and he is not a good stubble, he is probably a street gangster.

He shook his arm, trying to break away from the other party's hand, but the movement was relatively large, and the opponent's short coat swung to reveal a waist card tied around his waist.

Xia Nan glanced at it casually, this waist card was pale yellow, I don't know what material, but the words on it pierced his eyes - Zhou Guoxin, a hundred households in Jinyiwei!

Xia Nan looked up at the other party again, and the man was looking at him with a smile.

He calmed down and slowed down: "This brother, I really have something important to do, how about I talk to you another day?" ”

He looked at the field, there were no goals at both ends, only a net set up in the center, and a hole less than half a meter in the middle, and continued to explain: "My gameplay is different from yours, there are collisions, confrontations, and more intense, so ......"

The man's eyes lit up: "New ways to play? Double Door or White Shot? ”

Xia Nan didn't know what kind of play was played in vain, so he could only say vaguely: "In short, it is a two-sided match, and the one who shoots into the opponent's goal wins......"

The man with the brocade shirt on his waist patted him on the shoulder: "Very good, you go and do something, I'll come to you when it's over." ”

Xia Nan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said, "You must sweep the couch to greet you." ”

But I thought in my heart, I don't know if you, the brocade guard, are true or false, and with the principle of not causing trouble, I will not offend you in person, as for the future appointment, it depends on Lao Tzu's mood. Anyway, you can't find me when I'm gone, Guangzhou City is so big.

Seeing Xia Nan's relaxed expression, the man showed a mysterious smile and didn't say anything more.
