Chapter 560 Formal Negotiation
The two sides had already talked last time. The Ma family invested a lot of manpower and financial resources to build housing for refugees and build textile truck factories at the same time.
Everything went smoothly.
Fang Chen gave everything to Ma Shan to do, and he had specialized in his profession. With the support of the court this time, the Ministry of Works also participated, giving Zhang Yu 100,000 courage, and he did not dare to make trouble in building a house or build a factory.
Moreover, many victims have joined the construction of houses.
Most of the victims who could travel through mountains and rivers from the south to the imperial capital were young and middle-aged. The joining of the victims further improved the progress of the project.
Within half a month, all 100,000 victims can be settled, and some victims will not be dispersed and allocated to other cities. With Yanghuafang as the center, a large number of houses and factories will be built around the open land.
After everything was arranged, Mashan and several senior executives of the Ma family invited Fang Chen to have a meal.
It is difficult to refuse the kindness, so Fang Chen can only agree.
"Mr. Fang, I'll give you a cup!"
"Mr. Fang is really good at drinking!"
"Mr. Fang, our Ma family will be headed by Lord Fang in the future and will be loyal to Lord Fang!"
"I heard that Lord Fang is about to take office as the commander of the Jinyiwei. If Lord Fang takes care of our Ma family, our Ma family will definitely bring honor to our ancestors!"
"Mr. Fang is a bright lamp in the darkness. I admire him for enlargement, like a surging river, endless..."
"Come on, let's respect Lord Fang together!"
The people from the Ma family frequently toasted Fang Chen, and the other party was extremely respectful.
It feels very pleasant to be flattered and licked.
Everyone had a drink and was drinking hard. Suddenly, the people from the Xicheng Military Police outside asked for a visit.
The person who came was Li Yun, the commander of the Military Commander.
"Sir, it's not good!" Li Yun learned that Fang Chen was here, and he dared to come.
He was gasping and sweating.
Everyone put down their wine glasses, Fang Chen's heart sank and asked, "Li Yun, don't worry, tell me, what happened to Xiao San?"
Li Yun's eyes were filled with horror: "It's Zhang Fengwu, the youngest son of the Minister of Revenue. He grabbed Xiao San and... cut off two of Xiao San's fingers..."
"Sir, hurry up and save Xiao San. If it's too late, I'm worried that Xiao San will never have his life..."
Zhang Yu's son?
Damn, the one who dares to touch me!
Fang Chen immediately flocked to anger and cursed: "What do you soldiers and Sima do for food? What does the urban management team do? Xiao San's men also have thousands of people now, right? Why were they arrested by Zhang Fengwu?"
"Is my finger cut off?"
"This is simply a shame for me!!"
This is a shame!
Xiao Sannian was Fang Chen's man. Now someone chopped Xiao San's finger, which was equivalent to slapping Fang Chen hard.
Where can Fang Chen bear it?
"Brother Ma, friends, I'm so sorry. I can't drink with you if I have something to do. Next time we'll stop getting drunk."
"Let's go, let's avenge Xiao San!"
Fang Chen and Li Yun said goodbye to Ma Shan and others.
"Sir, please wait!" Ma Shan stood up and had something to say.
"Mr. Fang, I have heard a little about the matter between you and Master Zhang Yu."
"Zhang Yu's son is not easy to mess with. This time he dares to go to your territory, and the person who touches you must be coming to you. It may be a conspiracy or a trap."
"Mr. Fang must not be blinded by anger, be careful."
Fang Chen took a few deep breaths and felt much calmer: "Thank you, Brother Ma, for your reminder. Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility."
Fang Chen and Li Yun rushed to Yanghuafang.
On the way, Li Yun told everything, and this time Zhang Fengwu brought over a dozen guards.
Zhang Fengwu went to a gambling shop to find Xiao San, arrested Xiao San and asked him for money.
Xiao San refused to give it to him, so Zhang Fengwu cut off Xiao San's two fingers.
Although the gambling shops were all under Xiao San's men, hundreds of people were summoned on the spot and the soldiers of Sima rushed over, no one dared to touch Zhang Fengwu.
Because Zhang Fengwu is the son of Lord Shangshu, he is also a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.
How dare these little people touch the fifth-rank official?
The name Shangshu alone crushed everyone to death.
Another point is that Li Yun asked the soldiers of Sima to maintain order on the spot, and never take action and do not have any conflicts.
Everything will be decided when Fang Chen comes.
If there is a conflict, the more the incident becomes, it will definitely ferment to an uncontrollable level, which may affect Fang Chen's career.
Fang Chen's face became colder and colder. He beat Zhang Yu half to death in the morning, and now Zhang Yu's son is here to take revenge at night.
No matter what conspiracy is there, Fang Chen will go to save Xiao San. If he doesn't go, it will definitely make his subordinates feel disappointed.
In the past half a month, Fang Chen has managed Yanghuafang very well, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone in Yanghuafang is full of gratitude to Fang Chen.
However, the branches and gambling houses were not closed because in ancient times, these were legal and normal. If they were forcibly closed, they would arouse opposition from many people.
These places were operated by Xiao San. In the past, the Sima of the Seng was charged a certain protection fee, and Xiao San's profit was only 2300 taels per month, and more than 80% had to be handed over to Zhang Fengwu.
After Fang Chen came, he would eliminate all black transactions and gray income, even if it was a branch office and a gambling house.
, As long as you operate legally and compliantly, you will definitely not pay the bastard Zhang Fengwu.
Tonight, Zhang Fengwu used this as a reason to depose Xiao San.
Fang Chen arrived near the gambling house, where more than 2,000 people had surrounded the gambling house, and even Xiao San's subordinates were shouting that Zhang Fengwu would let Xiao San go.
The soldiers of Sima were afraid that Xiao San's men would be more impulsive, so they would block them and not let them rush in and cause trouble.
Xiao San inside didn't let his men take action, and everyone was waiting for Fang Chen to arrive.
Zhang Fengwu stayed in the gambling house and refused to leave, just to see Fang Chen.
After Fang Chen and Li Yun got off the horse, the crowded crowd immediately separated the road.
"Mr. Fang!"
"Mr. Fang, you are here!"
"Mr. Fang, save Xiao San!"
Fang Chen shouted: "Please rest assured that Xiao San will definitely not be able to do anything with me."
Fang Chen and Li Yun walked into the gambling house.
The light was very dim, and all unrelated people in the hall had been driven outside.
In the center of the hall, Xiao San was beaten to a bruised nose, covered in blood, and was covered in wounds.
The index and middle finger of his right hand had been cut off, thrown away like garbage.
The right foot of a young man in his twenties stepped on Xiao San's chest.
This young man was Zhang Fengwu, and fifteen warriors stood on both sides of him.
Everyone has extraordinary aura!
Chapter completed!
