Chapter 101: Attacking the Gao Family

It turned out that Qiongzhou Bu's business was too good, which not only made his peers jealous, but also attracted many people to covet it. After www.biquge.info being shot by Xia Nan Xuan Huang and using a delaying tactic by Xia Nan Xuan, the Gao family, who had been waiting for no news for a long time, became angry and began to retaliate.

The Gao family used the relationship of the government to require Zhang Mingli to hand over 50,000 pieces of high-quality cotton cloth every year in the name of purchasing cotton cloth to pay tribute to the imperial court. Zhang Mingli was unwilling to sit still, and used his family relationship to dredge the government, but learned that the Gao family not only had a close relationship with the government, but also took a procurement eunuch from the palace and led his spearhead to the Zhang family's cloth shop. After knowing the news, Zhang Mingli had no idea, so he could only come to Xia Nan to discuss.

Xia Nan didn't know much about the twists and turns of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, so he asked: "The eunuchs are purchased to buy things for the palace, right?" Will money be given? ”

Zhang Mingli smiled bitterly: "Of course, I will give money on the surface, but it will definitely be lower than the market price, and when and how much this money will be given, it all depends on the mood of the eunuch." How many wealthy businessmen and tycoons were targeted by these eunuchs, and their families were ruined. 50,000 pieces of cloth a year, God knows how many will be sent to me? This Gao family is ruthless enough, colluding with the eunuchs to come here, they want to force me to death! ”

With a "snap", Xia Nan took the case, "Isn't forcing you to death tantamount to bullying me?" This Gao family is really hateful, if you don't give him some color, you won't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. ”

Now the cotton cloth business is his only stable source of income, whether it is raising soldiers or making iron, making guns, casting cannons, it is inseparable from silver, although it has robbed a lot of big households recently, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, this stable source of income can not have any mistakes.

"Brother Xia, I have to remind you that this Gao family is indeed rich and has a deep background, even if he doesn't catch up with the procurement eunuch, it is difficult to shake him with his relationship with the government. Although I am not a good person, my family has been operating in Guangzhou City for many years, and the government also has its own connections. This time, I used my family relationship to dredge up, and they told me plainly that it was best to take the initiative to bow to the Gao family, otherwise I would only end up with no personal wealth. ”

For these intricate connections, it makes no sense for Xia Nan to know about them, because according to the conventional method, he is an outsider who has crossed over, and he can't fight the Gao family, the head snake, no matter what. His biggest reliance is the force he masters, but the Gao family is not the landlord of the countryside in Lingao, and the Guangzhou government is not the Lingao County Ya of Emperor Tiangao, so he can't take the escort to kill him with a sword and a gun, right? These hundreds of people are a great force in Qiongzhou, where the imperial court is lax in force, and it is not enough to see it in Guangzhou.

It seems that he can only use the ultimate, Xia Nan showed a vicious expression, and his eyes were faintly shining. When Zhang Mingli saw him like this, he thought he was frightened, and hurriedly comforted: "Brother Xia, if you want to start everything, it's a big deal if I give this business to his Gao family, who told me that I can't fight him." ”

"No, whether you are doing business or being a person, you must pay attention to integrity, I will continue to do this business with you, and I will never cooperate with the Gao family." In the summer, Nan came to appease Zhang Mingli. After contacting the people sent by the Gao family in Guangzhou, I knew that the Gao family was by no means a good partner, and Xia Nan needed an obedient channel dealer rather than being controlled by the channel dealer.

"Brother Zhang, let me ask you, if there is no instigation from the Gao family, will the eunuchs still stare at you?"

Zhang Mingli replied affirmatively: "If there are not so many shops behind the Gao family, there are so many shops in Guangzhou, how can the procurement eunuch only stare at my family, and besides, the goods he procures are not only cloth." Eunuchs love money, as long as I give a generous gift, it is not difficult for him to let me go, and it will not be good for him personally. ”

Listening to his analysis, Xia Nan made up his mind that since the officials couldn't fight the Gao family, they would not stop doing it and use the simplest and rude method to kill the master of the Gao family. However, it is better not to tell Zhang Mingli for the time being, so as not to scare him. Anyway, he can't help, he just needs to do business with peace of mind, which is the greatest help to himself.

"It's better to be like this, Brother Zhang, you go back to Guangzhou first, find a way to delay the matter first, I will explain the matter here, and go to Guangzhou too, we will find a way together, and we will solve this matter completely."

Zhang Mingli was a little disappointed, but he also knew that this matter was very tricky, Xia Nan was so young and had no foundation in Guangzhou, so it was normal to not be able to think of a way for the time being. At the moment, he promised to go back to Guangzhou first, and the idea was to delay for a while. The situation was serious, and he didn't have the heart to stay in Lingao, so he took a boat back to Guangzhou non-stop.

Seeing Zhang Mingli away, Xia Nan called Lin Weiye, Huang Hansheng, Yang Youji, Huang Mengjia and others and told them what had just happened. A few people were anxious when they heard it, everyone knows the importance of the cotton business, if there is a problem with this source of income, the foundation that Nan has worked hard to build in the summer will be shaken or even collapsed.

Lin Weiye rubbed his hands vigorously: "How is this good, what can you do about it?" We can't just die like this! ”

Huang Hansheng said: "Master, we are rough people, we will only work hard, what you say, we will do it." ”

Xia Nan gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't write it, you will come to Wu, whoever wants to stand in my way, I will send him to Huangquan Road!" As long as the master of the Gao family is killed, the Gao family has no leader, so naturally they can't take care of us. This time, I'll go in person, Yuki, Mengjia and I, and the matter of training is also very important, so Hansheng will be in charge of training. ”

Yang Youji and a few people agreed, and Lin Weiye pointed to himself: "What about me?" Kill Hu Gangsheng, we are fighting side by side! ”

"Now that our stalls are spread, there is no one in the family, I went to Guangzhou, and the family depends on you. You can watch and handle big and small things, and if you can't make up your mind, just put it away and wait for me to come back. ”

Lin Weiye felt that what he said was reasonable, so he had to agree.

Dealing with the Gao family is different from the Hu family or the Lingao County Ya, and it is useless to go too many people. Xia Nan only brought Yang Youji and Huang Mengjia, as well as ten old guards.

After arriving in Guangzhou, the group went directly to the head office of Zhang's cloth store and contacted Zhang Mingli.

Zhang Mingli arranged for them to live in his own home, but Xia Nan refused. The purpose of this trip was to assassinate, so naturally he couldn't live in Zhang's house, so as not to be suspected of Zhang's cloth company afterwards. Xia Nan just asked Zhang Mingli to introduce the situation of the Gao family in detail, so that he could know himself and his opponent and succeed in one blow.

Zhang Mingli didn't know Xia Nan's intentions, thinking that he understood the situation in order to negotiate with the Gao family, and told what he knew at the moment.
