The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 100 The Thirteen Lines of the Same Family

The Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou involves multiple interests behind it.

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 in general, there are actually three parties.

Indigenous forces, officials, foreigners.

The local forces are actually the four major families, the Lu family, the Pan family, the Wu family, and the Ye family.

Pan, Wu, Lu, and Ye, the four major merchants, secretly controlled thirteen industries, involving industries ranging from lacquerware, silverware, porcelain, textiles, painting, and sculpture to salt, iron, rice, sugar, silk, and tobacco. , tea and so on.

Of course, the thirteenth line is too profitable, and there are many other families who want to get involved, but they are not as powerful as the four big families, so many businesses cooperate with foreigners.

Of course, the four major families must also cooperate with foreigners, but you must know that foreigners are also divided into Britain, France, Germany and Italy, etc. The conflicts of interests are very complicated, and there are always lucrative opportunities to take advantage of.

But these things are not known to Xiaoliuzi, a trafficker and pawn.

He only knows which thirteen lines are, and who are those gangs who control the place and who can't be messed with.

The rest are naturally unknown.

Feng Ji sat in the car, closed his eyes and thought.

The eldest sister's family is missing. If she is not dead, there is a high probability that she was tied up by someone's teeth.

Then it will definitely be no problem to go to Tongfuhang to find someone.

The question is whether Tongfuxing is willing to hand over.

Gently tapping on the armrest of the car, Feng Ji once again understood the truth that it is useless to be able to fight, and it depends on strength if you come out to play.

After a while, the car quickly left the shanty town and came to the area of ​​Huangpu Ancient Port.

It is not far from the port terminal, and the flow of people is huge.

Looking south from here, a large number of ships are moored on the sea.

Many of them were hung with foreign flags, large and small goods were carried off the ships and transported ashore by small boats.

More porcelain silk and tobacco ore will also be transported to foreign ships.

"Master, Tongfu has arrived."

Little Six stopped the car and turned to look at Feng Ji.

Feng Ji opened his eyes, and what he saw was a large commercial firm.

The firm has two floors, with a very long facade, dozens of entrances and exits, and people who come and go are all dressed up as merchants.

There were many rickshaws parked at the door, and the drivers were chatting while waiting for the guests.

There is also a tea shop nearby, and there are many big men with big arms eating and drinking, who seem to be thugs.

Feng Ji got out of the car and said, "You wait for me here."

"Okay."

Entering Tongfuxing, there are many people coming and going inside, and there is an endless stream.

When a servant saw Feng Ji, he immediately greeted him and said with a smile, "Master, are you doing business?"

Feng Ji said indifferently: "Come here for dinner without business?"

"Oh, it's a villain with a stupid mouth. I didn't make it clear. What kind of business are you going to do? Let's go together, salt, iron and copper mines, porcelain tea cakes, everything."

Feng Ji glanced at him and said lightly, "I want someone."

The boy was taken aback for a moment, and then looked Feng Ji up and down.

The trading of human beings is not allowed by the government. It is said that Tongfuhang has human teeth business, but this business is not on the surface.

The boy couldn't see Feng Ji's depth, but felt that Feng Ji was extraordinary, not looking for trouble.

He said with a smile: "Master, the villain has no control over this matter."

"Go and talk to those of you who can make decisions here."

"Hey, then you and the villain go to the second floor to sit for a while?"

Feng Ji hummed and followed him up 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 servant took Feng Ji into a room in [Youwei Hall], poured a cup of tea for Feng Ji, and said with a smile, "Sit down a bit."

Feng Ji waved his hand and waited patiently.

Not long after, there was movement outside the door, and a young man walked in with a middle-aged man with stretched arms.

This strong man's face is full of flesh, his steps are steady, his blood is vigorous, and he seems to have kung fu.

As soon as he came in, he looked at Feng Ji, grinning at the corner of his mouth: "Hahaha, you want to do business?"

He sized Feng Ji up and asked directly, "What do you do?"

Feng Ji glanced at him: "Why, do business still need to check three generations of my ancestors?"

"Hahaha, if you don't ask clearly, how can you know if you are from the imperial court?"

"Oh, you dare to do this business, are you still afraid of the court?"

"Hmph, it's not that I'm afraid, but I just don't want to cause trouble, boy, seeing how young you are, are you still a jerk?"

"Tell me, do you want to sell the piglets, or buy them?"

Feng Ji listened to the other party talking about industry slang, without showing his professionalism, he directly took out the portrait of the eldest sister, and said, "Have you seen this woman recently?"

The big man glanced at the portrait and sneered directly: "Fuck you, are you here to play with me, Fei Laosan? Do you know the rules? I'm here for business, not a charity hall. If you're looking for a woman, turn left and go forward 500 meters, go to Wanhua Building to find it!"

Feng Ji stared at the big man, slowly took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve, and said, "Here is 1000 taels, help me find this woman, the money belongs to you."

Fei Laosan glanced at the bank notes on the table, and his eyes immediately became hot.

He rolled his eyes, and laughed grinningly: "Well, you bastard, come to us to walk together, how dare you steal money?"

He took a step forward and pressed it on the bank note on the table, spitting out his mouth: "Boy, if you dare to steal my money, let go!"

After speaking, he 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, but still didn't understand what these words meant.

Suddenly his eyes went dark, and a palm had already slapped his face.

Pfft——!
Two fingers were instantly inserted into his eye sockets.

Immediately Feng Ji kicked it out!
Bang-!
In an instant, Fei Laosan's chest sunken and collapsed, and his bones were shattered.

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and the blind eyes suddenly bulged.

Screams followed.

"what--"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the boy turned his head and ran away in fright.

Feng Ji didn't go after him either, he just picked up Fei Laosan's braid and dragged him back.

Putting away the banknote, Feng Ji stepped on it, and despite the other party's screams, he took a sip of the tea and took a sip of the tea at a leisurely pace.

"Can we talk now?"

"Little bastard, you are dead, cough, cough... I am the incense master of the Tongfu Gang, you... ah—"

Fei Laosan's eyes were bleeding, and before he could finish his threatening words, one palm was crushed and fractured.

Feng Ji's toes slowly moved to his crotch, and Fei Lao San was frightened instantly, and the screams stopped abruptly.

"Don't challenge my patience, next kick, I'll step here."

"You...I...I..."

Fei Laosan's mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly.

He knew very well that since Feng Ji dared to touch him, he could say and do it.

Immediately, he confessed his cowardice and shouted: "Master, young master, Fei Laosan has blind eyes and doesn't know a real hero. Please forgive me this time..."

Feng Ji said indifferently: "Is the 3000 taels still yours?"

"No, it's not... um? 3000 taels?"

The blind Fei Laosan opened his mouth wide, not understanding what was going on.

Feng Ji said blankly: "Since you admit it, then give me back the remaining 2000 taels."

"I...you...you..."

Fei Laosan almost yelled and cursed, but suddenly his crotch tightened, and Feng Ji stepped on his lifeline.

Immediately Fei Lao San was so frightened that he howled quickly: "I'll give it, I'll give it, grandpa, give me a little time, I only have 500 taels on me, and I'll go get it later."

Trembling, he took out the bank note from his pocket and quickly put it at Feng Ji's feet.

Feng Ji put away the banknote, and asked again: "The portrait I showed you just now, recall carefully, has anyone sold it here recently?"

With blood in his eyes, Fei Laosan shouted, "Master, I really don't know. I'm only in charge of negotiating the sale, and I'm not in charge of receiving the goods."

Feng Ji asked, "Who is in charge?"

"Leave it to Lord Tian, ​​let him take care of it."

"Who is Tian Ye? Tian Zhongxin."

"In the past month, where have all the women you bought gone?"

"Well, some were sold to Jardine House, some were sold to foreigners, and quite a few were sold to the White Lotus Sect, and some of them were also donated by the nobles from the government."

Feng Ji's face darkened, and the eldest sister didn't know where she was sent.

It's just that no matter where you send it, the end seems to be fearful...

Just as Feng Ji was about to press on, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs.

At the same time, there seemed to be a large number of people gathered downstairs.

A lot of shouting and cursing were vaguely heard.

"Damn it, who doesn't have eyesight, dares to come to Tong Fuxing to make trouble?"

"Fuck, dare to come to the thirteenth line to make trouble, and don't go out to inquire about it, how can you write dead words!"

"Go, go, catch him, I will kill him alive!"

……

The shouting and cursing were getting closer, and with a bang, the door was kicked open.

But he saw a dark man rushing in.

The leading few big men have blue and white tattoos all over their bodies, and their faces also have the marks of crime left by tattooing.

It seems that what Little Six said is true, these people may indeed be released from prison.

Feng Ji looked at these frightening Tongfu gang members indifferently.

Someone was furious: "Fuck your grandma, boy, let go of the third master!"

"Damn it, little bastard, let go of the third master!"

"Pujie boy, you are courting death!"

"Let go of the third master!"

Everyone cursed, and some threatened Feng Ji with a knife.

Feng Ji gently raised 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, hurry up, go and invite Lord Tian."

Everyone in the Tongfu Gang looked at each other, and at this moment an elderly man came out.

He was wearing a round cap, reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, gray braids, and a slightly serious expression.

"This strong man, did I offend Fu Xing? What's the matter, why don't you let Master Fei go first?"

Feng Ji looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you?"

"The old Pan Zhiben is the shopkeeper here."

He pointed to the hands of the people around him, and said slowly: "You have also seen that if we really don't care about the cost, you will not be able to walk together."

"Let go of Master Fei now, there's more to talk about, strong man, don't make mistakes."

There was a hint of threat in his words.

Feng Ji smiled lightly, and just asked, "Is Tian Zhongxin here?"

Pan Zhiben frowned slightly: "What do you want him for?"

"Question."

"Oh? I don't know 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 disappeared in the shanty town, I want to find her."

Pan Zhiben looked at the portrait, and couldn't help saying: "Hehe, that's how it is, strong man, you let go of Master Fei, as long as he is still in Guangzhou, the old man will definitely find it for you."

Feng Ji smiled immediately: "You didn't lie to me?"

"You can go out and ask, when did Pan Zhiben deceive someone?"

Feng Ji nodded, and as soon as he let go, Fei Laosan staggered and fell to the ground. Regardless of the pain, he scrambled to the back of Pan Zhiben, touched the people around him and got up, with a hideous and angry face: "Uncle Pan , he blinded me, kill him, kill him!"

At this time, Pan Zhiben also restrained his smile, and changed his easy-talking appearance just now, showing a hint of sternness on his face.

"Little bastard, how dare you come here to make trouble with me and Fuxing? If I let you go out today, what face will I have with Fuxing?"

Feng Ji drank tea calmly and asked, "Are you going to break your promise?"

"Hahaha, what are you, worthy of the old man's promise? Come on, catch him for me and chop him into meat paste!"

"Let the people in Huangpu Ancient Port know what will happen if you offend me, Tong Fuxing!"

When Pan Zhiben gave an order, dozens of people rushed up in an instant.

The knives in their hands gleamed coldly, and each of them had a hideous face, slashing wildly at Feng Ji!
