Chapter 100 The Thirteen Lines of Travel
There are many interests involved behind the Guangzhou Thirteenth Bank.
Although it is not as prosperous as when it monopolized foreign trade in the past, it is still the most profitable business today.
There are many interests involved, but overall, there are actually three parties in total.
Local forces, officialdom, foreigners.
The local forces are actually the four major families, the Lu family, the Pan family, the Wu family, and the Ye family.
The four major merchants, Pan, Wu, Lu, and Ye, secretly controlled thirteen industries, ranging from lacquerware, silverware, porcelain, textiles, painting, sculpture and other industries to salt, iron, rice, sugar, silk, and tobacco. , tea, etc.
Of course, the Thirteenth Bank was so profitable that many other families wanted to get involved, but they were not as powerful as the four major families, so many business houses cooperated with foreigners.
Of course, the four major families must have cooperated with foreigners, but you must know that foreigners are also divided into Britain, France, Germany, Italy, etc. The interests are very complicated, and there is always money to be made and opportunities to be taken advantage of.
However, these things are not something that Xiao Liuzi, a trafficker and lackey, can know.
He only knows which thirteen lines are, those gangs that control the situation, and who are the people not to be messed with.
Naturally, I don’t know anything about the rest.
Feng Ji sat in the car, closing his eyes and thinking.
The eldest sister's family is missing. If they are not dead, they are most likely kidnapped.
Then it will definitely be no problem to go to Tongfu Bank to find someone.
The question is whether Tongfu Xing is willing to make friends.
Knocking gently on the armrest of the car, Feng Ji once again understood the truth. It's useless to fight. It depends on your strength to hang out.
After a while, the car quickly left the shanty town and came to the Huangpu Ancient Port area.
It is not far from the port terminal and has a huge flow of people.
Looking south from here, you can see a large number of ships parked on the sea.
Many were flying foreign flags, and cargo, large and small, was removed from the ships and carried ashore in small boats.
More porcelain, silk, tobacco ore will also be transported on foreign ships.
"Master, Tongfu has arrived."
Xiao Liuzi stopped the car and turned to look at Feng Ji.
Feng Ji opened his eyes, and what he saw was a large trading house.
The trading house has a total of two floors, with a long facade and dozens of entrances and exits. All the people coming and going are dressed up as merchants.
There were many rickshaws parked at the door, and the drivers were chatting while waiting for their customers.
There are also tea shops and braised food shops nearby. There are many big men with big shoulders and round waists eating and drinking. They look like they should be thugs.
Feng Ji got out of the car and said, "Wait for me here."
"Okay."
Entering Tongfu Bank, there were many people coming and going in an endless stream.
When a boy saw Feng Ji, he immediately came up to him and said with a smile: "Sir, are you doing business?"
Feng Ji said calmly: "You don't want to do business and come here to eat?"
"Oh, you are stupid and didn't explain clearly. What kind of business do you want to do? We are in the same business. We have salt, iron and copper mines, porcelain tea cakes, everything."
Feng Ji glanced at him and said calmly: "I want someone."
The boy was stunned for a moment and then looked Feng Ji up and down.
Human trafficking is not officially allowed. People say that Tongfu is engaged in human trafficking business, but this business is not open to the public.
The boy couldn't see Feng Ji's depth. He only felt that Feng Ji had an extraordinary aura and didn't look like someone looking for trouble.
He smiled and said: "Sir, a villain can't decide this matter."
"Go find the person who can make the decision here and come and talk."
"Hey, then you and I will go sit on the second floor for a while?"
Feng Ji hummed and followed the other person to the second floor.
The second floor is much cleaner than the first floor, and the private rooms, large and small, are much more concealed.
The boy took Feng Ji into a room in [Youwei Hall], poured a cup of tea for Feng Ji, and said with a smile: "Sit down for a moment."
Feng Ji waved his hand and waited patiently.
After a while, there was movement outside the door, and a waiter came in with a middle-aged man with flowery arms.
This strong man's face is full of flesh, his steps are steady, and his energy and blood are strong. He seems to have great skills.
As soon as he came in, he looked at Feng Ji and grinned: "Hahaha, are you the one who wants to do business?"
He looked at Feng Ji and asked directly: "What do you do?"
Feng Ji glanced at him: "Why, you have to investigate three generations of my ancestors when doing business?"
"Hahaha, if I don't ask clearly, how can I know if you are from the imperial court?"
"Oh, you dare to do this, are you still afraid of the court?"
"Hmph, it's not that I'm afraid, I just don't want to get into trouble. Boy, you're still a gibberish at your young age?"
"Tell me, do you want to sell piglets or buy piglets?"
Feng Ji listened to the other party talking about industry slang, but without showing his professionalism, he directly took out the portrait of the eldest sister and said, "Have you seen this woman here recently?"
The big man glanced at the portrait and sneered: "Damn it, are you here to trick me, Fei Laosan? Do you know the rules? I am doing business here, not a charity hall. If you want to find a woman, turn left when you go out and go forward. Five hundred meters away, go to Wanhua Tower to find it!"
Feng Ji stared at the big man, slowly took out a wad of silver notes from his sleeve, and said: "Here are one thousand taels, help me find this woman, and the money will be yours."
Fei Laosan glanced at the banknotes on the table, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
He rolled his eyes and laughed ferociously: "You are such a bastard, how dare you steal money when you come to our bank?"
He took a step forward, pressed it on the banknote on the table, and breathed out a foul breath: "Boy, if you dare to steal my money, let go!"
After finishing speaking, he had already grabbed Feng Ji's palm with one hand.
Feng Ji sighed and looked at the other party: "Really, I want to have a good chat."
Fei Laosan frowned, not yet understanding what this meant.
Suddenly his vision went dark, and a palm slapped his face.
Pfft——!
Two fingers instantly inserted into his eyes.
Immediately Feng Ji kicked him out!
Bang——!
In an instant, Fei Laosan's chest collapsed and his bones shattered.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his blind eyes suddenly bulged.
Screams followed.
"ah--"
When the boy saw that something was not going well, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
Feng Ji didn't chase him, he just picked up Fei Laosan's braid and dragged him back.
After putting away the banknote, Feng Ji stepped on it under his feet and let the other party scream. He blew the tea leaves gently and took a sip of the tea.
"Can we have a good talk now?"
"Little beast, you are dead, cough cough cough... I am the incense master of Tongfu Gang, you... ah——"
Fei Laosan's eyes were bleeding, and before he could finish his threatening words, one of his palms was stepped on and shattered into pieces.
Feng Ji's toes slowly moved to his crotch. Fei Laosan was instantly frightened and his screams suddenly stopped.
"Don't challenge my patience, I will step here next time."
"You...I...I..."
Fei Laosan's mouth was trembling and he couldn't speak clearly.
He knew very well that since Feng Ji dared to touch him, he could say and do it.
At that moment, he quickly gave up and shouted: "Master, Master, Fei Laosan is blind and does not recognize a true hero. Please spare me this time..."
Feng Ji said calmly: "Are these three thousand taels still yours?"
"No, no...uh? Three thousand taels?"
The blind Fei Laosan opened his mouth wide and did not understand what was going on.
Feng Ji said expressionlessly: "Since you admit it, then give me the remaining two thousand taels."
"I...you...you..."
Fei Laosan almost screamed, but suddenly his crotch tightened, and Feng Ji stepped on his life.
Immediately, Fei Laosan was so frightened that he howled quickly: "I'll give it, I'll give it, grandpa, give me a little time, I only have five hundred taels with me, I'll get it back later."
He tremblingly took out the banknote from his arms and quickly placed it at Feng Ji's feet.
Feng Ji put away the banknote and asked again: "Recall carefully the portrait I just showed you. Has it been sold here recently?"
Fei Laosan's eyes were bleeding and he shouted: "Master, I really don't know. I'm only responsible for negotiating the business, not the receipt of goods."
Feng Ji asked: "Who is in charge?"
"It's up to Master Tian to take care of it. It's up to him to take care of it."
"Who is Master Tian? Tian Zhongxin."
"Where have all the women you bought gone in the past month?"
"Well, some were sold to Yihe Bank, some were sold to foreigners, and many were sold to the White Lotus Sect. The nobles from the government also gave some away."
Feng Ji's face darkened, and the eldest sister didn't know where she was sent.
It’s just that no matter where they are sent, the fate seems to be the same...
Just when Feng Ji was about to continue questioning, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps going upstairs.
At the same time, there seemed to be a large number of people gathering downstairs.
A lot of yelling and cursing sounds were vaguely heard.
"Damn it, who doesn't have the guts to dare to come to Tongfu Xing to cause trouble?"
"Fuck, you dare to come to Thirteenth Street to cause trouble, and you don't even go out to inquire about how to write the word "death"!"
"Let's go, let's catch him and I will chop him alive!"
…
The shouting and cursing got closer and closer, and with a bang, the door was kicked open.
But saw a crowd of people rushing in.
The leading men, whose arms were covered in tattoos, had the marks of crime left by tattoos on their faces.
It seems that what Xiao Liuzi said is true. These people may indeed have been released from prison.
Feng Ji looked at these terrifying Tongfu Gang members calmly.
Someone was furious: "You're kidding your grandma, boy, let me go!"
"Damn it, little bastard, let go of Third Master!"
"Street boy, you're looking for death!"
"Let go of Third Master!"
Everyone yelled, and some people threatened Feng Ji with knives.
Feng Ji gently lifted Fei Laosan's braid and asked, "Which one is Tian Zhongxin?"
Fei Laosan immediately screamed and shouted: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive at all, hurry up, go and ask for Master Tian."
Everyone in the Tongfu Gang looked at each other, and then an older man came out.
He wears a round hat, reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, gray braids, and a slightly serious expression.
"This strong man, what did my colleague Fu Xing offend? If you have something to do, how about you put Master Fei down first?"
Feng Ji looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you?"
"The old man Pan Zhiben is the shopkeeper here."
He pointed at the people around him and said slowly: "You have also seen that if we really do not care about the cost, you will not be able to leave Tongfu."
"Let Master Fei go now, there is still more to talk about, strong man, don't make a mistake."
There was a hint of threat in his words.
Feng Ji smiled lightly and simply asked: "Is Tian Zhongxin here?"
Pan Zhiben frowned slightly: "What are you looking for him for?"
"Ask questions."
"Oh? I wonder what the strong man wants to ask? The old man's answer is the same."
Feng Ji didn't say anything, just shook his hand, opened the portrait of the eldest sister, and said: "About a month ago, this woman in the shanty town disappeared. I want to find her."
Pan Zhiben looked at the portrait and couldn't help but said: "Haha, I see, warrior, let Master Fei go. As long as he is still in Guangzhou, I will definitely find him for you."
Feng Ji suddenly laughed: "You didn't lie to me?"
"You can go out and ask around. When did Pan Zhiben deceive someone?"
Feng Ji nodded and let go. Fei Laosan stumbled to the ground. He ignored the pain and crawled behind Pan Zhiben. He touched the people around him and climbed up. His face was full of shame and anger: "Uncle Pan." , he blinded me, kill him, kill him!"
Pan Zhiben's smile also faded at this time. He changed his talkative look just now and revealed a hint of sinisterness on his face.
"You little beast, how dare you come to make trouble with me and Tongfu? If you are allowed to walk out today, how can I and Tongfu lose face?"
Feng Ji drank tea calmly and asked, "Are you going to break your promise?"
"Hahaha, who do you think you are, worthy of my promise? Come on, catch him and chop him into pieces!"
"Let the people in this ancient Huangpu Port know what will happen if you offend my colleague Fu Xing!"
Pan Zhiben gave the order, and dozens of people rushed forward in an instant.
The swords in their hands were shining with cold light, and each of them had a ferocious look on his face as they slashed at Feng Ji crazily!
