Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 753: Zhang Fengnian’s Kidnapping

There was a sound of rain outside. Zhang Fengnian, sitting in the dilapidated temple, had already begun to look around.

He didn't dare to make any mistakes, for fear that the man in black would kill him completely.

After a cup of tea, the man in black actually started a fire in front of Zhang Fengnian, and the flames shot up into the sky.

Zhang Fengnian's eyes were blindfolded, but he could feel the heat gradually approaching.

"Actually, I don't know who you are. If you let me go, you will definitely have endless money. Why risk your life now?"

Zhang Fengnian's words drew laughter from the man in black. He looked around.
I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen now.

It is obvious that Zhang Fengnian's temperament seems to have changed a lot since he came back from Datong Prefecture.

Therefore, when the other party looked at Zhang Fengnian, his eyes were full of ridicule.

"I heard that you businessmen can make a lot of money when doing business, but you never give poor people a way to survive."

The other person's voice was extremely hoarse, as if his throat had been damaged by drugs.

Zhang Fengnian quickly shook his head when he heard his words. Every time he and Zhu Han did business, they would always try to give the people a way to survive.

Otherwise, the people in Datong Prefecture who were affected by the disaster would have no way to survive.

It is because I can help them grow those medicinal herbs that they can continue to survive in Yingtian Prefecture.

This is something that Zhang Fengnian has always been able to arrange properly, despite the concerns of others.

Zhu Han didn't take these things to heart. Now that he was imprisoned, Zhang Fengnian naturally had no worries.

"That's because you don't understand the difficulties faced by us businessmen. As long as we can help the people every time."

"As long as there are arrangements to be made later, I will naturally be able to help. It's just that sometimes people don't understand."

Zhang Fengnian's words left everyone confused.

At this time, two men in black came forward. They looked at Zhang Fengnian and recognized him as Zhu Han's right-hand man.

But now that he is in their hands, it is impossible for them to let him go easily.

"If that were true, there wouldn't be so many poor people in the world. I think you are just deliberately letting us down."

"Today is the day you die. We are all waiting to give you orders. Don't even think about escaping from us."

Zhang Fengnian never thought that he would be kidnapped as soon as he arrived at Yingtian Buddha.

He was actually quite interested in who had set their sights on him.

"You are really brave, but don't forget that I am His Royal Highness the Eagle King's man. If you kill me, the prince will not let you go."

"Why would you risk your life for someone else's business? If you let me go now, I won't pursue the matter any further."

Zhang Fengnian's words made everyone present laugh.

They began to speak wildly one by one, as if a life like Zhang Fengnian's was just a business deal in their hands.

"As long as you die in our hands, you can still gain a lot of influence."

"If he really had forgotten you, the prince would definitely investigate the matter, and we would not do that."

"That's right. Since we have already started to become bandits, we will certainly not let our prey escape like this."

"Don't think you can escape from our clutches."

Zhang Fengyan was unable to move. Just by listening to what they said, he had already determined that these people were hired.

It seems that someone wants to kill and silence the witness.

Zhang Fengnian sat on the ground and began to ponder.

At this time, Gao Fei had already received the news.

He brought several masters from the palace and began to search for Zhang Fengnian's whereabouts.

In the dark night, Gao Fei had already mobilized two of his men, who had already received the news in the restaurant.

Zhang Fengnian disappeared five miles outside the city. Now they have found the coachman who came with Zhang Fengnian.

The driver was knocked unconscious.

Gao Fei looked at the driver in front of him and quickly helped him up, seeing that he was still breathing.

So, he quickly took out a pill from his waist that He Fengyu had prepared for saving lives and fed it into the coachman's mouth.

Soon, the driver slowly woke up.

When the driver saw Gao Fei in front of him, he was frightened. He gripped the whip tightly in his hand and began to back away repeatedly with a vigilant look.

"Who are you? Why are there another group of people here? Do you want to kill me too?"

The driver was brought back from Datong by Zhang Fengnian. He had promised him that if he could come with him to Yingtianfu, he would have a better place to go.

I didn't expect something like this to happen halfway.

Gao Fei took the sword in his hand, turned around and threw it to his men.

When he hurried forward and looked at the driver, his voice softened a lot and he also revealed his identity.

"I am the prince's personal bodyguard. Who took Zhang Fengnian away?"

"We are good people. We are here to take you back, but we must find Zhang Fengnian. Do you know anything?"

When the coachman heard Gao Fei's words, he looked at Gao Fei carefully.

When he saw the token on his waist, he was slightly relieved. In one breath, he told Gao Fei that they were surrounded by a group of people.

"There were a lot of them at the time, and they were all very skilled in martial arts. After they threw a handful of medicine at me, I lost consciousness."

"My eyes went dark and I passed out, but I vaguely heard that their target was my young master."

Zhang Fengnian's driver is still frightened when he thinks about it now, and his body is trembling slightly.

Gao Fei frowned slightly as he listened. It seemed that someone did this on purpose.

Zhu Han had said before that there were problems with the silk and satin business in Yingtian Prefecture.

Only if Zhang Fengnian returns to Yingtian Prefecture can this crisis be overcome. It seems that someone has already seen this point.

That's why they attacked them.

"Then you know where they escaped to."

The driver recalled carefully and pointed to the east with certainty.

"They should have left from there. When I was unconscious, the sky had already changed and it started to rain. I remember it clearly."

Hearing the driver's words, Gao Fei immediately gave his men a look.

His men immediately went to track him down, and Gao Fei first arranged for the driver to stop, and then he chased after him.

At the same time, Zhu Han and He Fengyu had also received the news.

He Fengyu couldn't believe his ears. Zhang Fengnian finally returned to Yingtian Prefecture, but he encountered such a thing. He immediately felt that someone must have done it on purpose. How could it be such a coincidence?

"Master is now in Yingtian Prefecture. There are too many people who don't want Zhang Fengnian to come back. We have released a lot of information before."

"The silk and satin shops in Yingtian Prefecture have started to become active. We have also been keeping a close eye on the Wang family. They do have a lot of silk in their hands."

He Fengyu couldn't help but admire Zhu Han's judgment.

Before, they always thought that there was no way for them to survive in the silk business.

If this continues, there will be no benefit.

But in the blink of an eye, the silk had gradually begun to warm up under Zhu Han's manipulation.

Although business at Zhang's Silk Shop has been slow these days, there is no need to close down.

This is the result of Zhu Han's efforts to turn the tide.

Even the news had already come from the East China Chamber of Commerce.

"Now wait and see what happens, and let Gao Fei handle the task of finding Zhang Fengnian, and there won't be any more accidents."

"We are now fighting in Yingtian Prefecture, and we must not mess up, otherwise the people behind the scenes will become even more rampant."

Zhu Han was very calm. After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

Hearing his words, He Fengyu immediately became alert.

Nowadays in Yingtian Prefecture, there have been many problems regarding their previous business, but now some people have been affected as a result.

However, no matter what they do, they have no way to continue to survive.

This will result in their business being likely to suffer some serious damage.

From the beginning to the end, this business has really not allowed them to relax, and now the silk and satin business has become a hot topic in Yingtian Prefecture.

At this critical moment, someone actually started to attack Zhang Fengnian.

"Master, we have really become a thorn in the eyes of others. There is no news from the emperor anymore."

"He has already ignored the business in his scheme. Then isn't it useless for us to do what we are doing now?"

In fact, Yingtian Prefecture does not have that much impact on many businesses.

They had already seen all of this before, and saw it all more clearly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was always very cautious when he handed over the business to Zhu Han. This time, if Zhu Di had not intervened.

Naturally, the silk and satin shop's business would not end up like this.

He Fengyu's words made Zhu Han more determined in his thoughts.

He raised his head and gave He Fengyu a meaningful look.

"It seems that this matter is not as simple as we thought. However, since someone has already started to attack Zhang Fengnian, it proves that the influence we have suffered in the past few days was completely manipulated by someone with malicious intent."

"I'm afraid this business is deliberately done by someone. You should investigate the King of Yan and find out where his current silk business comes from and who is the person behind it."

After Zhu Han finished speaking, He Fengyu nodded quickly.

Then he left the room to find out the news.

Before leaving, he bumped into Ge Rong at the door of the study.

Ge Rong was still holding the account book that he had read through overnight, but he did not find any clues.

"You're going out so late?"

Ge Rong looked at He Fengyu in great surprise.

He Fengyu nodded repeatedly with a helpless look on his face. He now saw clearly that many people in Yingtian Prefecture were extremely jealous of their East China Chamber of Commerce.

Now that the silk and satin shop business is so profitable, some people have already started to cause trouble, most likely out of jealousy of their business.

"Master has something for me to arrange. If you want to see Master, please go in quickly."

Before leaving, He Fengyu reached out and patted Ge Rong on the shoulder.

Ge Rong felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and watched He Fengyu leave. Then he carefully knocked on the door of the study.

Zhu Han was sitting in the study, reading a letter. He looked up when he heard a knock on the door.

"come in."

He thought that something was up with He Fengyu again, but he didn't expect that he was also trying to cover it up. What he saw were Ge Rong's thick account books.

Ge Rong actually finished reading all of them. He hurried in, put the account book on Zhu Han's desk, and stood aside respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have read all the account books you gave me yesterday. I have checked all the expenses carefully. There is no problem with the account books."

Zhu Han looked at Ge Rong and nodded slightly, his brows full of admiration for him.

Now, this account book has actually been under Zhu Han's control from the very beginning. It can be truly seen that there are quite a few problems in it.

In fact, silk has never been of much concern, but he did not expect that the current situation on the account book was beyond his expectations.

"Then tell me why there is nothing wrong with the account book, but a large number of defective silk products have been produced. Is there someone who wants to harm us on purpose?"

Zhu Han's words made Ge Rong frown. He took a closer look and Zhu Han boldly expressed his guess.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, this is someone trying to use someone else's hand to push the silk that should be filled, so as to profit from it."

"The means is not only to gain fame in Yingtian Prefecture, but more importantly to be able to reap some benefits as soon as possible."

"Only the best silk can keep you full, but now this defective silk has obviously been tampered with. This is a plan that someone has been planning for a long time."

Ge Rong analyzed all these things very clearly, which made Zhu Han look at him with admiration.

After hearing what Ge Rong said, Zhu Han nodded slightly and looked at Ge Rong with a smile on his face.

"You are indeed right. Someone has been secretly watching our every move. Now the silk business has suffered a heavy blow here."

"It's obvious that someone is trying to trip us up in secret. Who in Yingtian Prefecture would dare to do such a thing and become our enemy?"

Ge Rong was a learned man. He was not only familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but also had considerable attainments in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Zhu Han also asked him a lot of questions on a daily basis, which helped him to develop a lot of talents in doing business.

Hearing Zhu Han's words, Ge Rong frowned and looked at Zhu Han thoughtfully.

"If Yingtian Prefecture wants to do this kind of business, it not only needs a backer, but also needs to have strong strength."

"And it requires a lot of investment in the early stages. The person must be rich or noble, and most likely a royal relative."

What he meant was self-evident.

Zhu Han looked at Ge Rong and nodded slightly, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. This really made him look at him with new eyes.

"You are indeed right. Many things in Yingtian Prefecture are simply unimaginable. I admire you very much for being able to understand the truth behind this."

Ge Rong felt a little embarrassed, but he had indeed guessed a lot.
