Chapter 213 The Fang Family’s Little Trick! (Part 1)
However, he saw a middle-aged official with a fat waist and a round belly, wearing a green official robe, and looking four or five points similar to Fang Zhi, standing in the crowd. He had quite an official authority. He thought that this person was Fang Xianzhong, the Suyang Weaving Envoy.
At this time, more than a dozen servants of the Fang family were going in and out of the cloth shop, carrying cloth, furniture and other things.
"The Fang family is shameless!" Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but curse. After all, the Fang family cloth shop is now named Shen, but Fang Xianzhong moved away the cloth and other goods. This is all the Shen family's loss!
"Fang Xianzhong took all the cloth away, and all the Shen family got was an empty shop!" Shen Ruoyan said hatefully.
Jiang Chengfeng also had a gloomy expression on his face, and said coldly: "Although Fang Xianzhong's actions are shameful, we can't do anything about it! These cloths are worth some money, but they are not the most important thing! What is important is the shops and other real estate! As long as these things are still there, we still have hope of making a comeback!"
Shen Ruoyan nodded, looking at her cousin who was being beaten on the ground in the crowd with a worried look in her eyes, and sighed: "My cousin was too careless in doing things. He suffered a loss this time. I hope he can remember this lesson in the future!"
"A blessing in disguise?" Jiang Chengfeng laughed, "After what happened today, although the young master got beaten, it is more favorable to our Shen family in terms of public opinion!"
Shen Ruoyan thought about it, nodded, and remained silent.
After a while, someone suddenly patted Jiang Chengfeng on the back. He subconsciously turned his head and saw the two brothers Bai Biao and Bai Feng looking at him with smiles.
Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you two for your help today! I believe you two have already known about this matter, right?"
Bai Feng nodded, glanced at Fang Xianzhong coldly, and said, "Fang Zhi has signed a written agreement, and Lord Tang was also present at the time. Even if the Fang family wants to deny the debt, there is no way!"
"In that case, isn't it only natural for us to take over the Fang family's cloth shop?" Jiang Chengfeng laughed, and Bai Biao and Bai Feng also laughed.
Young Master Zhao, who was being beaten, saw Jiang Dazhu in the crowd and shouted hurriedly, "Jiang Dazhu, come and save me!"
Shen Ruoyan took a deep breath, walked to Fang Xianzhong with lotus steps, bowed, and said respectfully: "I am Shen Ruoyan, a humble girl, meeting Lord Fang!"
Fang Xianzhong glanced at Shen Ruoyan and sneered, "Ms. Shen is really so powerful! She actually ordered the servants to forcibly take over our cloth shop. Doesn't Miss Shen take me seriously?"
Jiang Chengfeng stared at Fang Xianzhong, thinking that this official was really a dog who could not spit out ivory. Your son has already lost the cloth shop to the Shen family, and now he is saying that the Shen family took it by force? Do you want to have some shame?
Shen Ruoyan was unmoved and said sternly, "Master Fang has misunderstood! I, Shen Ruoyan, have been doing business for many years and have always abided by the laws of Northern Tang. What does Master Fang mean by this?"
Fang Xianzhong's face suddenly darkened. "Miss Shen forcibly took over our cloth shop. What exactly do you want to do? I am the Suyang Weaving Commissioner. I am usually busy with affairs and have no time to chat with you!"
Shen Ruoyan was furious and said in a cold voice: "Master Fang, why did my Shen family take over your Fang family's cloth shop? Master Fang should know it best, right? At that time, Master Fang lost the bet in Huazhou, but Master Tang was there to testify. Now my Shen family is fulfilling the bet, but Master Fang deliberately obstructed it and ordered the servants to beat my cousin! Excuse me, Master Fang, what is the meaning of this?"
Although Shen Ruoyan said it lightly, these gentle words were like a sharp knife, cutting through Fang Xianzhong's heart again and again, leaving blood everywhere. Fang Xianzhong was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
In fact, Fang Xianzhong was also very angry at his son's failure to live up to expectations. How could he bet the Fang family's assets just because of a momentary anger, and still lose! In the end, he had to clean up his son's mess and embarrass himself here!
Fang Xianzhong suppressed his anger, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Miss Shen, I have also heard about the bet in Huazhou. After investigation, I confirmed that someone deliberately framed my son! Therefore, I have asked Lord Long, the commander of Jianghuai, to help investigate this matter and clear my Fang family's name. So, don't take that bet seriously!"
It seems that Fang Xianzhong is completely shameless! Besides, Long Fengyang is a military man, and this gambling matter is a civil matter. Even if an investigation is needed, it should be reported to Governor Ye Duo for investigation. Is it Long Fengyang's turn to intervene?
Fang Xianzhong confused right and wrong and fabricated facts. Even though Shen Ruoyan was a clay Buddha, she was so angry that her pretty face turned red.
"Master Fang, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting the vision of the many elders and fellow countrymen in Jianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Or are you doubting the fairness of Master Tang? If so, then please ask Master Fang to come here. I am willing to confront him face to face!"
Jiang Chengfeng hurried over and pulled Shen Ruoyan's sleeve, thinking, why is this girl so angry? We have written evidence, are we afraid that the Fang family will deny it? Now our Shen family is right, why argue with Fang Xianzhong, this dog official!
Fang Xianzhong said indifferently, "My son caught a cold yesterday and is now recuperating at home! I will confront you when he recovers!"
Hearing Fang Xianzhong say this, Jiang Chengfeng almost burst out laughing. I'm afraid that Mr. Fang is recuperating with some woman right now?
Shen Ruoyan took out the document signed by Fang Zhi that day and sneered, "Master Fang, please read it carefully! This is the document signed by Master Fang in Misty Rain Tower that day. Master Fang's signature is on it! In addition, there is also the signature of Master Tang, the notary. This is solid evidence. Do you still want ?"
"Shen Ruoyan, the scoundrel! Do you know your crime?" Fang Xianzhong pointed at Shen Ruoyan angrily and shouted, "Lord Tang is a top-rank official of the dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You are just a commoner girl. How could you possibly have Lord Tang's signature? You are just talking nonsense!"
"You are blind!" Bai Feng suddenly jumped up, pointed at Fang Xianzhong's nose and cursed: "You are just a small Suyang Textile Commissioner, a small official of the sixth rank! How dare you doubt the signature of Lord Tang?"
"Who are you?" Fang Xianzhong was shocked when he sensed the power emanating from Bai Feng and asked in a lost voice.
Bai Feng sneered and took out a gold medal from his arms. "I am a first-rank imperial guard, and I am ordered by the emperor to protect Lord Tang Yin! I can prove that this is indeed Lord Tang's signature! You, a dog official, clearly recognize Lord Tang's signature, but you pretend not to know it. Are you trying to rebel?"
Bai Feng worked in the palace, and those first- and second-rank officials had to be polite in front of him. Fang Xianzhong was just a sixth-rank official, so naturally he didn't take him seriously. Calling him a dog official was a compliment to him!
