"You are stupid!" Gu Xiao said to Yang Zhao: "Brother Fang's grandfather used to be the Minister of State, and he was also the Duke of the state. Brother Fang's father was the head of the academy. Would he be happy if Brother Fang became an official again? Are the dignitaries used today? In fact, I think it is right for the Fang family to do so. For the emperor, he would rather support the newly promoted dignitaries, and would rather support the people he wants to use than those from the previous dynasty. Father is the head of the academy, grandfather is the Duke of the state and was once the Prime Minister of the country, and if Fang brother is allowed to be an official, the power of the Fang family will be too great, and the mountain of the academy alone will make the emperor feel very, very threatened. "

"So that's the case, Gu Xiao, you know a lot." Yang Zhao nodded.

Li Xiang listened attentively.

While sharing the money, Gu Qing said: "I was born in the Gu family. I have watched my father deal with many powerful people since I was a child. You will know some things if you see them too much. You already have them in your hand. Let's go and watch the pot." What's in it is that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants."

"Aspirations are hard to fulfill." Zhang Jiuling patted Fang Chengxian on the shoulder.

"Who doesn't have a hard-to-recite scripture, I'm already used to it, but thinking about it, it's a pleasure to be a rich and powerful man with nothing to do in the future, and I can also make money with Gu Xiao."

"Okay, the money is divided." Gu Xiao said.

Yang Zhaoka looked at Gu Xiao putting all the money into his own purse and said doubtfully, "Aren't we splitting the money?"

"You are still young, my father said that children can't spend too much money, I will collect it for you first and then give it to you after you get married, hahahaha." Gu Xiao smiled and lifted the heavy money bag.

Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-nine

Several people shook their heads and smiled wryly, but they were still willing to put the money in Gu Xiao’s place, so they don’t have to worry about food and clothing in the academy. Zhang Yugong came to Gu Xiao’s side and said, “There is a group of people in Chang’an who are robbing the students of our academy. .”

"What did you say?" Gu Xiao immediately scolded: "Who doesn't have a good eye and dares to steal my business."

"The other party is a group of trackers who have been earning money by transporting goods for many years, and the price they charge is the same as ours." Zhang Yugong said expressionlessly.

"We finally got a little bit better, but we can't let them cut it off." Yang Zhao also said anxiously.

"I knew it would happen, no one is a fool, Gu Xiao, what should we do?" Li Linfu also said anxiously.

Zhang Yugong said calmly: "My lord, do you need me to kill them?"

Hearing the word kill, the children immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.

"Uncle Zhang, don't kill people easily, you're frightening them." Gu Xiao thought about it and said, "Where did they come from, and who is behind them?"

"Jiangnan wealthy businessman." Zhang Yugong said.

"Great merchants from Jiangnan?" Gu Xiao frowned and said, "How could a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan come to meddle in the affairs of the academy?"

"Master Hou's business is spread all over the Central Plains, and he has many contacts with merchants in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is rich in products. The wealth of these wealthy merchants in Jiangnan is comparable to that of Chang'an's dignitaries. After the waterway is repaired, many Jiangnan merchants will travel between Chang'an and Jiangnan. , and raised a lot of trackers." Zhang Yugong continued: "But as long as Lord Gu says a word, their people will withdraw, and many people in Jiangnan also want to see Lord Hou's face."

"Wait! The family can't let this matter come forward." Gu Xiao said immediately.

Zhang Yugong said: "So it's easier to kill them."

"Uncle Zhang, don't rush to use the knife, let's meet them first, do you know where that group of people are now?" Gu Xiao asked again.

"In West City in Chang'an City, that group of people often gather there." Zhang Yugong said in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go and see who is going to steal our business." Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll go with you." Yang Zhao said immediately.

"I'll go as well."

"Together we will."

Seeing that everyone wants to go together, Gu Xiao was a little worried that if something happened, he would not be able to take care of so many people. Looking at Zhang Yugong, Zhang Yugong gave Gu Xiao a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Our people have already set foot on that place, say hello to the leading guards who are patrolling the city, and tell the head of Dali Temple, Xiao Di, that it is easy to make a group of people disappear in Chang'an out of thin air."

"It's not to the point of murder." Gu Xiao wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Zhang Yugong still said: "If the other party dares to offend the young master, I will still kill them."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Gu Xiao took the lead and followed Zhang Yugong all the way to Chang'an City.

Gu Village is not far from Chang'an City, and it takes half an hour to walk there. The West Market in Chang'an is much deserted than the East City. There is a dilapidated house at the end of the street in the West Market. Gu Xiao stopped here. Immediately, dozens of people surrounded Gu Xiao and stood beside Gu Xiao to protect him.

Just as Zhang Yugong was about to go forward to open the gate, a ruffian walked out from the corner of the street. Looking at the posture of the group of people, everyone was holding a horizontal knife in their hands. You are a good man, how did my little gate in the West City provoke a few people?"

"You didn't provoke me, you provoked my young master." Zhang Yu nodded and said to him.

"Xia Huazi in the West Market, I know all the rangers in the three miles of the West Market, so please don't make trouble. Although the West Market is deserted, it's not deserted."

The other party introduced himself and listened as if he was warning not to make trouble.

While talking, Huazi whistled, and immediately many people with sticks walked out of the street corners, and surrounded Zhang Yugong and his group.

"I haven't come to Chang'an for a long time, this Chang'an ruffian has no bounds for courage?" Zhang Yugong took out a mask and threw it at the blind man's feet while speaking.

Blind Huazi lowered his head and saw this strange and penetrating black mask's expression changed dramatically. He tremblingly picked up the mask on the ground, held it in his hands and knelt down with a plop, and slapped himself on the face, "It's a villain!" Those who have eyes but no pearls are villains who have eyes but no pearls."

The sound of applause echoed.

Gu Xiao looked at what this man was doing, as if Zhang Yugong would keep slapping himself if he didn't speak, his eyes were full of fear.

Zhang Yugong took the horizontal knife from the person next to him, and the other person's eyes became more and more frightened, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head, "Forgive this good man, the villain has eyes but no eyes, don't kill me, there are old and young in the villa's family. "

Blind Huazi kowtowed continuously, and the skin on his forehead was immediately scratched.

Gu Xiao thought that a mask of Uncle Zhang could make the people here so frightened. He didn't know much about Uncle Zhang's power. Uncle Yang said that all the people under Uncle Zhang were murderers without batting an eyelid. .

"I won't kill you." Zhang Yugong said in a low voice, looking at the mansion in front of him, pointing to the closed gate and saying, "Drag the owner of this mansion out for me."

"Okay!" The blind man nodded immediately, beckoning the people around him to kick open the door of the house, there was a sound of cursing and shouting in the courtyard, and after a while, the blind man dragged a few guys out with bruised noses and swollen faces.

"This man, these people live in this house, and they make a living by transporting goods on weekdays."

"Who are you! Is there any law to commit crimes in Chang'an?!"

As soon as the other party spoke, the blind man slapped him on the face, and the other party's nosebleed immediately splashed out, and the blind man yelled, "Apologize to me! Speak well!"

"Blind man, I usually give you a lot of money, don't rely on you being the boss..."

"Slap!" Xia Huazi slapped him on the face again, "Do you know who you provoked? You don't want to live, I still want to live!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhao and the others retreated step by step, and they had never seen such a scene in the academy.

This slap stunned him, as if he understood how serious the matter was.

Gu Xiao stepped forward and stared at the blue and swollen guy in front of him, "Are you the boss?"

The blind man held his hair and said to Gu Xiao: "This young master, he is the boss.".

"I see." Gu Xiao knelt down and looked at the wound on his face and said, "Who told you to go to the academy to solicit business?"

The kid in front of me is only eleven or twelve years old, but looking at the guys with knives standing behind him, is there anyone in Chang'an who can hold a knife? The bad guys and rangers who hang out in Chang'an all have knives in their hands Either it has something to do with the government or it has something to do with the powerful.
