It was almost noon when Fang Jie came out of the Marquis of Sanjin with the black boy, and the Martial Arts Institute was closed, so Fang Jie didn't need to report, and it was almost the twelfth of February, so he decided to stop by Hongxiu Zhao on his way back. lock up. This is the first time that Fang Xie is going to start a business after arriving in the capital. He planned to give up this business but now he has to pay attention to it.
The Great Sui is different from the previous life, the status of merchants in the Great Sui is very low. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are ranked last. Because of this, businessmen are not allowed to become officials... Fang Xie had made a plan before he arrived in Chang'an City, not to do business unless necessary. But after arriving in Chang'an City, he realized that money is inseparable from everything.
And those elders, who doesn't have a business background behind them
Although the salary of the Great Sui Dynasty was not low, if you depend on the salary to live, the adults are afraid that all of them will live a miserable life haha. Ever since he knew the big people behind Hutong Tianxing, Fang Jie became more and more determined to do business. If you want to make further progress in your official career, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
Building a garment workshop is only the first step, and Fang Jie has many ideas in his mind. But what is most lacking is capital. If the ready-made clothing business starts, everything behind will be easy to take care of. He didn't want to spend too much of Wu Yidao's money. It wasn't that he was high-minded, but that he was worried that the money would be sorted out sooner or later, and he didn't come up yet.
Heizi was like a person who came out of the deep mountains and old forests for the first time, everything he saw was new. And he didn't seem to have the awareness of being a book boy at all, he ran to the front to look at the rouge and gouache sellers, and fell behind and squatted on the ground to look at the mastiff cubs.
Fang Jie didn't bother to talk to him, and walked forward on his own.
When passing by an alley, I found that there were many people watching the excitement. Fang Jie took a closer look, and it turned out that a husband and wife were arguing inside. From time to time, bottles and jars fell out, and every time something fell out, the people watching outside burst into applause.
"If you dare to throw my mother's rouge and gouache, my mother will throw your four treasures of study!"
There was a lot of noise, and the onlookers shouted, "Throw down the desk! Throw down the bronze mirror!"
Bronze mirrors are valuable things, not something that just anyone can afford. Fang Jie listened for a while and smiled, then turned to leave. At this moment, suddenly a long sword came out of the crowd like a poisonous snake and went straight to Fang Xie's back!
People's attention was focused on the noisy house, and no one noticed this abrupt sword. The man holding the sword swam out of the crowd like a spirit snake, his feet galloped forward, it looked as if the sword was leading his body forward. At this moment, Fang Jie had just turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't even see the killing move behind him.
But at this moment, there was a panic in the crowd. I don't know when that black boy squeezed into the crowd to watch the fun, but when the sword was about to stab Fang Xie in the heart, he suddenly rushed out of the crowd like a bull. He lowered his shoulders and slammed forward. He didn't know how his skinny body had such explosive power, and he smashed the crowd into pieces.
The assassin was startled, if this sword stabbed down, it might succeed. But if he didn't dodge, he would definitely get punched by Hei Kid.
At the very moment, he twisted his wrist and rolled sideways in mid-air. He just moved away, and the black boy punched the wall behind him before. With a bang, a big hole was directly smashed into the hard blue brick wall. After the punch missed, Hei Zizi continued to chase after him without stopping.
The assassin turned around and stabbed Hei boy's heart with his sword. Who knew that Hei boy would not dodge or dodge. It seemed that he wanted to fight the assassin to the death. When the sword pierced his heart, his fist must also hit On the assassin's temple. The assassin was forced to dodge again by this rogue style of play, but when he turned around, he found that Fang Jie was already standing in front of him.
In the front is Fang Jie, and in the back is the black boy.
The assassin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly shouted "Do it!"
With a bang, the wall on one side of the alley suddenly collapsed, and a strong man with a sledgehammer smashed Fang Jie's head with it! This person can be at least two meters tall, and the heavy hammer in his hand must be at least three to five hundred catties heavy. If he was hit by this hammer, Fang Jie's whole body would be smashed into a puddle of mud.
The man crashed into the courtyard wall and rushed out, the distance from Fang Xie was exactly the length of the sledgehammer in his hand.
Fang Jie frowned, and stepped back abruptly. The incomparable explosive power exploded from his feet, and several green bricks were crushed by him. The hammer fell with a bang and hit the ground fiercely. A burst of thick smoke and dust surged up, and the solid road surface was smashed into a big hole with a radius of half a meter.
At the moment when the heavy hammer fell, the sword-wielding assassin rushed forward. He lightly stepped on the sledgehammer, and pierced Fang Jie's face with a sword.
Hei Zizi chased after the assassin, but was stopped by the strong man with a heavy hammer. The sledgehammer swung over sideways, with the whistling sound of wind. If this hammer hit Hei boy's waist, he might be able to fly him directly and smash through the courtyard wall. The black boy was thin and small, and the hammer head seemed to be bigger than his upper body. The brawny man with the giant hammer was strong and burly, and the black boy was barely taller than his ass.
But what happened next shocked everyone who saw it to their jaws.
Hei boy still didn't dodge or dodge, he opened his arms suddenly and hugged the hammer head! It seemed that his weak body would definitely be swung up with the sledgehammer if he stuck to it. But in fact, the hammer head, which was bigger than his upper body, was hugged tightly by him, and stopped suddenly! This is completely contrary to people's common sense. Even if a galloping horse wants to stop, it has to rush a certain distance under inertia. But this sledgehammer stopped in Hei Kid's arms as abruptly as if the picture was frozen.
Hei boy yelled loudly, and swung upward with all his might.
A heavy hammer weighing hundreds of catties, and a strong man weighing at least two hundred catties were lifted together by him! The black kid holding the hammer was like a mighty ant lifting a beetle several times his size. The strong man was obviously taken aback, let go of his hands and fell from mid-air, turned around and left.
Hei Xiaozi hesitated for a while and didn't chase after him, but rushed to Fang Jie's side.
At this time, Fang Jie was covered by a light curtain. It was impossible to see where the sword was, Liu Guang covered Fang Jie's whole body. Apart from retreating all the time, he couldn't find a chance to fight back. The speed at which the assassin drew his sword was astonishingly fast, and he couldn't tell which one was the sword and which one was the phantom.
Fang couldn't help but backed away, and suddenly stomped hard on his foot. The blue bricks on the ground shattered and collapsed into a pit. The assassin kept moving forward, stepping into the pit abruptly and tilting his body, the sword light suddenly became confused, Fang Jie took advantage of the situation and punched out. The assassin turned backwards, kicked his foot on Fang Jie's fist, and flew out like a cannonball. He threw his hand in mid-air, and the long sword flew down like lightning and stabbed straight at him. Solution. Fang Jie only had time to dodge, the sword cut open the shirt on his shoulder, leaving a bloodstain.
Look at the assassin again, he has been swept away like a hawk.
Hei boy turned to chase after him, but Fang Jie stopped him and shook his head. At this time, the people who were watching the couple's quarrel came to their senses, and they didn't know who yelled first, and immediately dispersed and ran away.
The boy Hei looked at the wound on Fang Jie's shoulder, and after confirming that it was just a puncture of the flesh, his face gradually softened.
"Do you have any wound medicine?"
Fang asked.
The black boy shook his head, parted his mouth and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Wound medicine? I never need that thing."
Fang Xie curled his lips, tidied his clothes, turned and walked back: "Now I finally know why my father-in-law chose you to be my personal book boy. It really feels safe to take you with me."
The black kid smirked a few times, then turned his head to look in the direction where the assassin disappeared, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
…
…
The news of Fang Jie's assassination spread quickly, and half an hour later, Feiyupao from the Ouchi guards began to check the area. An hour later, the news entered the East Nuan Pavilion of Tai Chi Palace. An hour and a half later, Fang Jie was already on his way into the palace.
Beside him, besides the black boy, there are the strong man Nie Xiaoju and the scholar Chen Xiaoru. Of course, there was also Shen Qingfan who was sitting next to Fang Jie in the carriage.
Prince Yi's Mansion.
After Qin Liuqi told Prince Yi the truth about Fang Jie's assassination, he stood aside with his head bowed. Prince Yi, who was sprinkling fish food into the pond, was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, then looked back at Qin Liuqi and asked, "Who did it?"
"I don't know yet."
Qin Liuqi said: "It's definitely not someone from the mansion. The Snake Guards can't go out without orders. Fang Henshui has never been out in the courtyard in the west city. This subordinate has already asked very clearly."
Prince Yi threw the fish food down, and it landed on the water with a bang. The koi that were not frozen to death in the cold season swarmed up, and the water in this small pond seemed to boil like a boiling pot. Those koi scrambled for fish food, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Prince Yi clapped his hands, and asked after a moment of silence: "Yesterday, when those people in the court were discussing, someone mentioned that Wu Yidao might have given things to Fang Jie, right?"
"yes."
"Could it be some idiot who couldn't wait and sent someone to find Fang Jie?"
Qin Liuqi was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Probably not, although they are a little stupid, they are not so stupid as to be so reckless, and the subordinates have already told them, your lord, you have arranged for someone to be there by Xie's side. If something is in Fang Xie's hands, he will definitely find it."
"Go and ask!"
Prince Yi waved his hand: "Everyone has to ask before nightfall."
"This subordinate will do it."
"Wait a moment… "
Prince Yi suddenly stopped Qin Liuqi again: "Just now you said that the newly bought bookboy that Fang Jie brought with him has a good cultivation level? If you just simply buy a bookboy, you will be considered a big boy against the sky. It is also impossible to sell luck to a master who is willing to be a book boy. The three newcomers around Fang Jie have to check to see who arranged to go there... Tell Zhuang Die to be careful of those three people."
"The subordinate understands."
Qin Liuqi responded, turned around and left quickly.
Prince Yi turned around, subconsciously picked up the clairvoyance on the table and looked towards the palace.
"Who is making trouble at this time?"
he muttered to himself.
…
…
Tai Chi Palace.
Dongnuang Pavilion.
The emperor waved his hand to let the young eunuchs who were waiting on him go out, leaving Su Buwei alone. He asked Fang, who was saluting, to stand up, glanced at him lightly and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Fang Jie lowered his head and said, "Skin trauma, it doesn't matter."
The emperor hummed, and looked back at Su Buwei. Su Buwei hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I don't know who did it. The servants have already informed Commander Luo and the people from the Qing Yamen to investigate. The two assassins came very suddenly, without warning, and fled quickly. , so the identity is hard to determine. However, there is a burly man among them, such obvious features should not be difficult to find out. The people from the Ouchi guards have already searched in the dark, and if there is any news, it will be sent back to the palace immediately. "
"Your Majesty..."
Fang Jie straightened up, sorted out his words and said, "There's no need to investigate, I know who sent the assassin."
"oh?"
The emperor's expression changed slightly, he looked at Fang Jie and asked, "Who is it?"
Fang Jie raised his finger and pointed to his nose: "It's the minister himself."
