Soon, the night passed and the sun rose high in the sky.
Zhang Feng stretched his body and walked out of the room. Just as he was about to eat breakfast, something bumped into him.
"Damn it, who doesn't have eyes?"
He cursed and was about to teach the person a lesson when he realized it was Yu Baoqing. He was even angrier. "Baoqing, are you f * cking blind? Watch where you're going. "
Yuchi Baoqing scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Fengzi. I wasn't paying attention."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and his expression changed. "Fengzi, something happened. Old Jia and the others are waiting for you in the hall."
Zhang Feng frowned and felt that something was wrong. He turned and walked toward the hall.
As soon as he entered, Jia Daoren came up to him. "Master, something happened. I went out to buy a house this morning, but no one was willing to buy."
"How could this be?"
Zhang Feng's expression darkened.
"I don't know." Jia Daoren frowned and paced around. "I saw that no one was buying and thought that I was underpaying. I doubled the price, but no one was willing to buy. Master, what should I do?"
"Don't panic."
Zhang Feng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to panic.
Then, he seemed to think of something and quickly said, "Old Jia, did you offend someone in Jiangnan? Otherwise, why didn't they buy? "
"How could I have offended someone?"
Jia Daoren said without hesitation.
Then, he paused and said, "Master, even if I did offend someone, they wouldn't be a threat. It's impossible that so many merchants wouldn't buy."
Zhang Feng took a deep breath and nodded.
Yes, even if Old Jia had offended someone, he couldn't have controlled all the merchants immediately.
Besides, why was it that Old Jia was fine before, but now the merchants were unified?
There was only one possibility left.
It had something to do with him?
Did he offend someone?
That was impossible. He had just arrived in Jiangnan and hadn't had time …
Oh no, it was the Gao family.
He finally figured it out and quickly said, "Old Jia, it must be the Gao family."
"The Gao Clan?"
Jia Daoren glanced in the direction of the Gao residence and felt that it wasn't quite possible. He asked, "Even if you offended the Gao family, they wouldn't know about our relationship. Moreover, we only discussed buying paper yesterday. How would they know?"
Zhang Feng nodded, thinking that it made sense.
But soon, he came to his senses.
The Gao Family was powerful, so wouldn't it be easy for them to find her?
Besides, the guards had been on the road all night yesterday. Perhaps they had let down their guard and let these dogs slip in?
All of these were possible.
However, it was no longer important to know this now.
With a heavy expression, he asked, "Old Merchant, is there any other way to buy a house?"
Jia Daoren shook his head. "I'm afraid not anymore. Once the Gao family gets involved, no one else will dare to buy a house, unless …"
"Unless what?" A glimmer of hope flashed across Zhang Feng's face.
Jia Daoren looked deeply at Zhang Feng with a heavy expression. "Unless you look for the Yang family. Only they would dare to go against the Gao family."
Zhang Feng frowned. Although he wanted to build a good relationship with the Yang family, he didn't plan to look for them. Just as he was about to ask if there was any other way, Jia Daoren spoke again. "Apart from the Yang family, there are only the other six families …"
Zhang Feng sighed. Wasn't that the same as not saying anything? The seven families all wore the same pants. How could they go against the Gao family? They might as well look for the Yang family.
That was what he thought, but he didn't plan to do so yet.
He remembered that the old scholar had given him a slip of paper with some important information written on it.
He looked at Jia Daoren and asked seriously, "Old Merchant, do you know the Wang family?"
"The Wang family?"
Jia Daoren frowned. He raised his head as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he said, "There aren't many Wangs in Jiangnan. Master, are you talking about the Wang family by the canal?"
Zhang Feng nodded. "That's the Wang family. What kind of power do they belong to? What is their position in Jiangnan? "
Jia Daoren shook his head and sighed. "The Wang family is quite pitiful. They were aristocrats in the Sui Dynasty and were prominent in Jiangnan for a period of time. They basically monopolized one-tenth of Jiangnan's industry until His Majesty ascended to the throne. The Wang family's power slowly declined and was swallowed up by the seven families. Now, they only have one industry left. I'm not sure what it is exactly. As for their power, they seem to have joined the Yang family. However, this happened a while ago, so the Wang family's power isn't very strong. Master, do you know the Wang family? "
Zhang Feng nodded slightly. "Previously, an elder told me to look for the Wang family if I were in trouble. I didn't expect the Wang family to be in such dire straits. However, it seems that there is no other way."
After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made a decision. "Prepare the horse. Since I'm already in Jiangnan, I'll go take a look. Even if I can't help much, I'll just take it as a junior going to visit the elders."
