The servants at his residence had been waiting for him outside the door. When they saw Zhang Zhao coming out, they loaded him into the carriage and drove away without looking back.
Only Zhang Yun and Zhang Wen were left alone in front of the door.
The huge Zhang Mansion, in front of Zhang Zhao and a strange young businessman, was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, at the mercy of others.
Zhang Zhao's car was seen disappearing.
Zhang Yun punched the door frame with his fist. The heavy iron door did not move at all, but blood oozed from Zhang Yun's finger joints.
Zhang Wen was so scared that his legs were weak. He had been feeling dizzy since just now. Zhang Zhao's attitude was really different from what he had remembered before.
After not seeing Zhang Zhao for just a few months, the young man could hardly breathe under the pressure of such a domineering Zhang Zhao.
After experiencing his father's silent rage again, Zhang Wen was obviously a little stupid.
"Father...Father! Are you...are you okay!"
He rushed to Zhang Yun's side and held his father's bleeding hand in fear, feeling at a loss.
But Zhang Yun didn't care at all.
He just said in a low tone:
"The elder only knows one of my worries, but he doesn't know the other..."
"What I'm most worried about is you...Zhang Zhao!"
——
Wu County is in such chaos.
The initiator of this situation seemed not to be aware of it at all.
At this moment, he was surrounded by a large number of people, probably dozens of people in total, following him with different expressions, as if escorting him as he walked in the luxurious palace.
The Zhang family is the richest family in Wu County.
But the Gu family is definitely the most united family in Wu County.
This gap is naturally reflected in the owner himself.
The Gu Mansion, which covers an area of hundreds of acres, seems to have gone beyond the boundaries of etiquette in this era.
Even with the carriage, Yi Xiaotian walked around Gu's mansion for a long time before meeting Gu Yong.
Gu Yong seemed to have been prepared to meet Yi Xiaotian for a long time.
Today's clothes are very particular, just like a student meeting his mentor——
"Father, my benefactor has arrived!"
"You traitor! How can you be so frivolous in front of your benefactor! You have offended your benefactor many times before, but today...as a father, you have to rule him according to the family law in front of your benefactor!"
Gu Shao was very happy. He was walking in front of Yi Xiaotian and saw his father waiting in front of the main hall and pavilion from a distance. He rushed forward excitedly, wanting to inform his father of Yi Xiaotian's arrival.
However... no one expected that Gu Yong would show his majesty at this moment and raise his hand to slap Gu Shao.
The key is that the words he muttered made Gu Shao's mind go blank at this moment. He only heard about the family law, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Gu Shao was frightened.
Naturally, the same was true for the servants around Yi Xiaotian. When their master became furious, they would not leave for a moment, but fell to their knees on the ground, eager to start licking Yi Xiaotian's toes immediately.
And what about Yi Xiaotian?
Yi Xiaotian really didn't expect such a thing to happen.
He just followed the agreement and came to Gu's house today to show up. If he wants to develop in Jiangdong in the future, Gu's help will naturally be indispensable.
It's too familiar to look familiar, right?
Moreover, the scenery of Gu Mansion is unique - what is a scholarly family, what is a noble family, Jiangnan water scenery, pavilions, wind, flowers, birds and moon are all available in this place.
Yi Xiaotian was still admiring the flowers when Gu Yong yelled in front of him and confused him for a long time.
After seeing everyone kneeling down and seeing Gu Yong planning to beat his son, Yi Xiaotian stepped forward with a look of helplessness.
"Hey, hey! Mr. Gu! Don't get entangled in such formal matters. My son was against me before, but it was because I didn't identify myself. Now, my son has been very helpful to me in everything.
Without it, I wouldn't be able to do so many things. If Gu Gong is willing to reward me for blaming me, please look at my face and don't pursue it too much."
When Yi Xiaotian said this, his eyelids were actually twitching.
Because he had basically guessed Gu Yong's next reaction.
Of course, Gu Shao looked confused. His father suddenly became angry. When he heard Yi Xiaotian's words, his expression immediately changed, returning to his original calm and self-defeating look, and he naturally retracted his hand.
Gu Shao is too young and really doesn't understand what role he plays.
On the contrary, Yi Xiaotian stopped being angry for a moment when he looked at Gu Yong, and felt helpless:
"These old guys are all pretty good at acting."
In fact, this is what Gu Yong specially showed to Yi Xiaotian. On the one hand, he showed his rigorous family style, and on the other hand, he wanted to get the upper hand. In short, he set up a situation for Yi Xiaotian and immediately paved the way for him. The purpose was, of course.
There is only one thing, and that is to show his respect for Yi Xiaotian.
This effective trick has actually been used throughout history.
Even in later generations, when a guest comes to someone's home, most parents will scold their children in front of the guests - this is a clear sign of leaving the role of a good person to the guest, and it is definitely a sign of humility and respect.
.
As a result... naturally only the young and ignorant children suffered.
Poor Gu Shao.
Yi Xiaotian looked at the aggrieved Gu Shao helplessly and amusedly. Gu Shao seemed to still not understand where he had gone wrong.
But the conversation between Yi Xiaotian and Gu Yong has already begun.
"I'm sorry that I'm ill and can't go far to meet you. It's Gu Yong's good fortune to be able to meet my benefactor."
"Hey, Mr. Gu, there's no need to be polite. I just rescued Mr. Cai by chance. According to seniority, seniority, and knowledge, no one dares to show off in front of Mr. Gu, so just treat me as a junior.
Okay, no matter how much courtesy I have, I really can’t afford it.”
"Ah...well, my benefactor is so humble even up to this point. It's natural for Quan Zi to be embarrassed by being so respectful to you."
"Since my benefactor has said so...then...I would rather be respectful than obey your orders!"
Although Gu Shao was accidentally injured again, he could obviously bear it this time.
Yi Xiaotian smiled and nodded, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not used to such old guys calling each other by the same honorific title.
Make yourself look the same.
No more polite words were said. Under Gu Yong's guidance, everyone entered the main room together.
I also saw the principals of the Gu family and the branch families who had been waiting in the house early.
Yi Xiaotian looked around - checking the eyes of the people present one by one, and was sure that they would be an absolutely indispensable and huge help for him in the future.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to the red tape. The boy came here today because he actually has an important request."
"I am fortunate to have the respect of you all, and I will ask for your help in this matter - I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Yi Xiaotian went straight to the point - without any delay.
He will not be arrogant because of his false reputation. In fact, only he, as the person in charge of the plan, knows how difficult the challenge he is facing now is.
