"Come, everyone, have fun! Why don't we treat you to a meal today? "Cheng Chumo said loudly in the Teaching Division with a heroic look.
"Good! Brother Cheng is indeed straightforward! " Fang Yiai shouted loudly, and the other rich playboys echoed. Although they were the rich playboys of Chang 'an City, the money they had was only their monthly allowance, and there were not many opportunities for them to be so extravagant.
With a wave of Cheng Chumo's hand, one after another, exquisite dishes and bottles of sparkling and translucent Crystal Dispelling A Thousand Worries were all placed on the table. Coupled with the accompaniment of the Educational Division's top singers and dancers, the atmosphere in the hall was immediately lifted.
"Brother Cheng, have you found another way to make a fortune?" Duke Ying's eldest son, Li Zhen, whispered to Cheng Chumo.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Qin Huaiyu and the other two. They were most proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. According to their rough estimate, the banquet alone cost them at least 30 strings of coins, which was their monthly allowance.
"Ahem! Not at all, not at all, we brothers have offended you a few days ago, so today we are here to apologize! "Qin Huaiyu hastily coughed a few times to stop the blabbermouth Cheng Chumo.
Looking at the clumsy acting skills of the two, the hedonistic sons of rich parents instantly understood that according to the three's flamboyant personalities, they must have found a way to show off in front of them. Previously, when they were showing off their bicycles, various types of four-wheeled carriages, etc … Every scene was still vivid in their minds!
Li Zhen could not help but heavily place the wine cup in his hand on the table as he said unhappily, "Brother Qin, isn't this a little too much? You guys eat and drink well every day, but do you know the pain in our hearts? If there's a way to get rich, you must bring your brothers along. "
The group of hedonistic sons couldn't help but nod their heads. Although they didn't lack money, they had a large family and their monthly allowance could be said to be extremely limited. In addition, they weren't officials, so they couldn't make ends meet. Originally, it was fine if they weren't rich, but among them, there was Qin Huaiyu and the other two who had become rich overnight because of Mo Jiazi. How could this make them feel good?
Qin Huaiyu said earnestly, "It's not that I don't want to take you guys along. It's just that although this business is profitable, it will offend people the most. I don't want to cheat you guys."
"Offend someone?" Liu Renshi, the eldest son of Duke Kui, sneered and said, "Offending people? Offending people is the last thing we are afraid of. There are few people in the Tang dynasty that we can't offend."
Liu Renshi was not exaggerating. When they ran rampant in Chang 'an City, it was always others who fawned on them. No one dared to offend them.
"Of course, I can't do anything that violates the laws of the country. Otherwise, my father will really place righteousness before family." Li Zhen said with lingering fear.
Qin Huaiyu snorted and said, "Of course! How could I possibly harm you, brothers? Have you heard of the hottest rumor recently? "
"Brother Qin, are you referring to the matter of Mo Jiazi offending the Five Clans and Seven Wangs?" Li Zhen frowned.
Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "Yes! Now the Five Clans and Seven Wangs have joined forces to besiege the village of Mo Jiazi. Now all the goods in the village of Mo Jiazi can't be transported out. You guys know the relationship between Brother Mo and us, so we did him a small favor and bought the goods worth 3,000 strings of coins on credit. Brother Mo promised us 40% of the profit! "
"40% of the profit!" A group of fops couldn't help but gasp. The goods worth 3,000 strings of coins and 40% of the profit was 1,200 strings of coins! It was equivalent to several years of their living expenses.
"Didn't the Five Clans and Seven Wangs say that whoever helps the Mo family will be their enemy? Besides, even the village of Mo Jiazi can't be transported out. How can you do it? "Liu Renshi said in disbelief.
Yuchi Baolin snorted and said, "How dare they stop the convoy of Duke Kui's Mansion? Even if they know, what can they do? We didn't break any laws! "
"That's right. You guys don't know that these aristocratic families are openly besieging the village of Mo Jiazi, but they are secretly building workshops to seize the market and make a lot of money for themselves. How can we allow them to enjoy the fish and meat while we brothers go hungry?" Qin Huaiyu tempted.
That's right. Firstly, they didn't steal, secondly, they didn't rob, and thirdly, they didn't break any laws. Why can't they earn this money? Moreover, those sons of the Five Clans and Seven Wangs were all arrogant. They had long disliked those people.
"But if we make enemies for no reason, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain to my father. Those are the Five Clans and Seven Wangs!" Li Zhen frowned and said.
This was the strength of the Five Clans and Seven Wangs. Even the fearless fops in Chang 'an City couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"So, we need to come here secretly. This way, if we make a fuss in the future, it will just be the actions of the younger generation. Uncles, you guys won't feel bad. At most, you guys will beat us up. I believe this is a common occurrence for you guys." Cheng Chumo spread out his hands, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Li Zhen couldn't help but stare at Cheng Chumo. Who would want to be beaten up for no reason?
"A beating in exchange for thousands of coins is worth it!" One of the fops was tempted.
"So, at this time, we must be fast. First, we must ship the goods out and make a profit. In Chang 'an City, the rich are the masters. If you don't have money, no one will look at you!" Cheng Chumo said rudely.
However, the fops didn't refute. In Chang 'an City, which was a money-squandering den, how could they have enough money to live with?
"Okay, I'll do it!" Fang Yiai suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
"You, you can forget about it! Who doesn't know that your grandfather is the head of the Fanyang Lu family? "Cheng Chumo sneered.
Fang Yiai's face suddenly turned red and said, "Although my grandfather is close, he didn't give me any money! Besides, my father is a civil official. I can still bear this little bit of force. "
Looking at Fang Yiai's shameless face, the fops couldn't help but silently give him a thumbs-up.
With Fang Yiai taking the lead, the fops couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. For them, at most, they would be blamed by their parents. It could be said that this was the business with the least risk and the biggest benefit.
"Okay, we'll do it!" The fops gritted their teeth and said.
These fops really couldn't wait to take action. Besides, there was no shortage of housekeepers in their Marquess's Mansion. Soon, batches of goods left the Mo Family Village. After leaving Chang 'an City, they quietly changed the banners of the Marquess's Mansion and drove to various places in the Tang dynasty.
"This time, Brother Fang, you've been wronged!" Seeing the goods leave and the warehouse of the Mo Family Village was gradually emptied, Meton breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Fang Yiai solemnly.
If Fang Yiai hadn't taken the lead, the fops wouldn't have been so decisive this time. However, after all, Fang Yiai's grandfather was the head of the Fanyang Lu family. Fang Xuanling was easy to pass, but the Lu family would be difficult to pass.
"Mother!" Fang Yiai's heart suddenly trembled. In the Fang Mansion, the one he was most afraid of was not his father Fang Xuanling, but his mother Lu. It could be imagined that Lu could even subdue Fang Xuanling, so he could imagine how clever her means were. Fang Yiai couldn't help but sigh and hope that his mother would be merciful.
"What are you afraid of? The law can't punish the majority! With so many people acting together, there's no need to be afraid of the Five Nobles and Seven Families! But I'm afraid that these brothers will be wronged. I hope these uncles won't be so cruel! "Qin Huaiyu said with a little lingering fear.
"Don't worry, as long as there's money, they'll recover soon." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
Modun shook his head and said, "Then you're wrong. We may be able to hide our actions from outsiders, but we definitely can't hide it from those who contributed to the founding of the empire. Without their tacit approval, do you think you can mobilize so many servants in the mansion?"
Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that he really couldn't hide from his father by using the name of the House of Duke. His actions now were obviously approved by his father.
However, the Qin Family and the Mo Family had a good relationship, so it was reasonable for them to help the Mo Family. However, the other Houses didn't have much interaction with the Mo Family, so how could they be willing to take the risk to help the Mo Family?
Meton looked at the disappearing convoy at the end of the brick road and couldn't help but sneer. Where there are people, there will be jianghu. The Five Nobles and Seven Families represented the old aristocratic families, which had been passed down for thousands of years. It could be said that they had already shared the most abundant benefits. However, those founding heroes represented the new aristocratic families. They occupied the highest power in the court, but they didn't enjoy the benefits equivalent to their status. Perhaps these new interest groups didn't have the idea of challenging the old interest groups.
And the struggle between the old and new aristocratic families may be the breakthrough point for the Mo Family. Once these new aristocratic families connived with these prodigal sons to sell the goods of the Mo Family, then the encirclement of the Five Nobles and Seven Families would be like a sieve and become a joke.
