Chapter 8 Zheng Family's Shock
Branch of the Zheng family in Longxi.
Zheng Yanghui is the general manager of all shops and workshops in the Zheng family in Longxi. In theory, Zheng Yanghui has the greatest power except for the clan leader and the family steward. He has to have money and power. He is quite satisfied with his life.
But today, the disaster came from the sky. Zheng Shengfang, the son of the concubine, was killed by the thunder in the sky for no reason. Before he could take care of his grief, he was reported by the managers of various shops and workshops, which scared him to death.
After listening to the reports of various managers, Zheng Yanghui did not care about the pain of losing his son, so he hurried to the family house to report to the clan leader.
The Zheng family homestead in Longxi occupied a whole mountain outside Qingzhou City. It is used as a family resident. Compared with ordinary families, the Zheng family homestead can no longer be called a house, but a manor, because the Zheng family homestead is too large to include a small hill, including streams and small lakes.
After Zheng Yanghui arrived at the new courtyard, he was taken by the butler and led him through the woods and rivers, and finally came to a pavilion built on the back mountain.
There is an antique granite table in the pavilion and a stone chair beside the table, and an elder sits.
Zheng Angxiong was the patriarch of the Zheng family sent from Xingyang to the Zheng family branch of Longxi. He has been operating in Qingzhou for decades. In several prefectures and counties around Qingzhou, Zheng Angxiong's name is well known.
The Zheng family branch is located in several commercial territories around Qingzhou, and several major aristocratic families have agreed that the territory of several nearby states belongs to the Zheng family branch. Of course, the Zheng family will not do business in other aristocratic territories. These are unwritten rules that aristocratic families have formed over hundreds of years.
Zheng Yanghui, who was standing outside the pavilion, was very frightened at this time, and wanted the patriarch to know what happened in Qingzhou, various shops and workshops as soon as possible.
All the shops and workshops in Qingzhou were robbed in one hour, which would definitely make the clan leader angry. The clan leader was furious, and he, the person in charge, would definitely be blamed.
"What urgent matter? Tell me!" Zheng Angxiong's voice in the pavilion was calm and strong.
"Old patriarch, something big happened. All the supplies and money of all shops and workshops in Qingzhou were kidnapped within an hour. I, the person in charge, cannot refuse the blame. Please punish the old patriarch." Zheng Yanghui stood outside the pavilion and was cautious, for fear that one by one would accidentally cause the clan leader to be furious.
"Who dares to touch the things of our Longxi Zheng family after hearing this?" After hearing this, Zheng Angxiong stood up and looked angry and shouted loudly.
Zheng Angxiong, who is already at a young age to be calm in his work, was shocked after hearing the report. How powerful does all the shops and workshops in Qingzhou take to rob these shops in such a short time?
Zheng Angxiong, who was surprised for a while, looked at Zheng Yanghui who was trembling and immediately asked, "Did other families do it?"
"The old patriarch was a black-faced man who was alone, not like a member of another family." Zheng Yanghui quickly explained that he did not dare to induce the patriarch to lead him to another family. If he didn't explain it clearly and caused disputes between the Zheng family in Longxi and other families, that would be a big trouble. After all, the Zheng family is just a branch of a family in Longxi, and its real power is still in Xingyang.
"Oh! It's not from another family! Who else has such a great power? Let's listen to it in detail?" Zheng Angxiong breathed a sigh of relief, his voice became calm and strong again.
"According to the guards of the granary, he was a black-faced man. This person said that he deliberately robbed our Zheng family in Longxi, and said that our Zheng family in Longxi was bullying people..."
"I found out where these materials were shipped?" Zheng Angxiong asked back after hearing Zheng Yanghui's words.
"No, it seems that these supplies disappeared out of thin air! No trace of clue left behind."
When Zheng Angxiong heard this, he was shocked again. Who has such great ability to rob so many shops and workshops in one hour? How did he transport so much supplies away? Zheng Angxiong fell into deep thought.
A quarter of an hour later!
Zheng Angxiong thought for a quarter of an hour and finally made a decision in his heart.
Zheng Angxiong's body was shocked: "Block down all news and let the shop assistant guard the information. If you are leading the team, go and open up the Western Turkic trade routes!"
After hearing the words of the old patriarch Zheng Angxiong, Zheng Yanghui seemed to pour a basin of cold water from his head. He knew that he was finished. It was not easy to go to the Western Turks to avoid the business road. There were so many horse bandits along the way. It would be a life-and-death death to drive away the business road from the Western Turks! But he did not dare to disobey the commander of the patriarch, otherwise the family law would cause his tribe members to fall into disaster...
What Zheng Yanghui didn't know was that all these disasters were brought to him by his son who cheated his father. If Zheng Yanghui knew about it, would he strangle the son who cheated his father to death early?
Zheng Angxiong looked at Zheng Yanghui who was leaving in a daze and said to himself: "Your son Zheng Shengfang was struck by lightning for no reason, and then he attracted various shops and workshops to be robbed. Didn't that person say that the Zheng family in Longxi was harming people by relying on their power, and they deliberately robbed the Zheng family?"
Zheng Angxiong sat there and was silent for a while, then looked behind him.
"As a top warrior, can you do it?" Zheng Angxiong asked to the figure behind him.
"I can't do it. It's not something that a heavenly warrior can do if so many materials disappear silently." The figure behind him showed his true form and shook his head and said. He couldn't figure out who has such great strength. It has exceeded his cognition.
"Is this a disaster for the Zheng family branch?" Zheng Angxiong said to himself again.
"Hey! Let's avoid disasters if you lose money! Stop the matter here, don't let the news leak out, otherwise we can't afford to lose this person." Zheng Angxiong sighed, looking helpless.
...
Li Yu did not take the matter of robbing the Zheng family in Longxi yesterday. He was just a matter of killing the rich and helping the poor. Moreover, these big families used disgraceful means to obtain too much ill-gotten wealth.
What really made Li Yu very happy was that his beliefs had increased a lot and the space had been expanded several times.
After getting up early in the morning, Li Yu rushed to Li Xiuning and changed the medicine for Li Xiuning.
"Young Master Li, you are here!" Li Xiuning saw Li Yu coming in with a tool for healing injuries, and stood up very politely.
"Well! I'm going to change the medicine for you, it won't be possible if I don't come!" Li Yu smiled.
"Then let's start!" Li Xiuning sat down and asked Li Yu to take action.
"But it hurts a little when you clear the wound in a while, so you have to endure it." Li Yu solemnly reminded.
After hearing Li Yu's reminder, Li Xiuning unconsciously said: "Don't worry! I can hold it back."
Li Yu ignored Li Xiuning's dissatisfied expression and just shook her head slightly. After a while, she knew that alcohol was so good at cleaning the wound. Li Yu had tasted this taste in later generations.
Li Yu gently opened the gauze that had been bandaged yesterday and found that the wound had begun to heal. Then Li Yu dipped the clean gauze into alcohol and began to wipe the wound from the skin around the wound.
"Huh~" When the alcohol just touched Li Xiuning's wound, Li Xiuning didn't care about it just now. Now the severe pain in her body made her breathe. However, the stubborn Li Xiuning still had to grit her teeth and persevere.
The alcohol is very irritating, especially when the alcohol is rubbed on the wound, it feels like someone is cutting flesh with a knife. Whenever Li Yu wipes the gauze with alcohol, her body will tremble involuntarily, and a lot of cold sweat appears on her forehead. However, even so, Li Xiuning still grits her teeth and tries not to let herself scream.
"I really can't stand it, you can "humph". I won't laugh at you if it's okay. It's natural for people to be afraid of pain!" Li Yu saw Li Xiuning enduring the severe pain and persuaded her.
Li Xiuning ignored Li Yu's words and turned her head directly, not planning to discuss this topic.
Li Yu seemed to have eaten a bitter fruit in his mouth, and he smiled bitterly, "Okay! Just shut up yourself!"
Li Yu didn't expect that Li Xiuning seemed weak and had such a strong personality. He stopped talking and continued to clean the wound. The wound was cleaned quickly, and the medicine was applied and bandaged. Only then did Li Yu notice that Li Xiuning was already covered in cold sweat.
"The wound has recovered very well, and there is no infection. I guess it should be completely recovered in a while. Don't worry!" Li Yu said withdrew the medical tools.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for saving you for your righteousness. If Mr. Li hadn't saved you for the second time this time, I might have..."
Li Yu quickly stopped Li Xiuning's next words: "Miss Li, you are so polite. Since I encountered such a thing, can I still stand by death and refuse to save me?"
Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed: "No matter what, thank you for saving your life."
When encountering these ancient people, they always say thanks to Li Yu, and even though they are not surprised by the many etiquettes, they are too many etiquettes and easily make the people who are grateful feel as if they have done something great.
When people interact with each other, there are too many etiquettes, which makes the communication between the two parties less casual, and makes people feel a sense of distance in their interactions with each other. This is actually because Li Yu just came to ancient times and was not adapted to this era.
Seeing that Li Xiuning was still weak, Li Yu said a few words and said goodbye and left.
