In the Zhou family mansion, Mr. Zhou Yanhui is negotiating business with several wealthy people. Mr. Zhou is not like Zhou Bangning. He has built such a foundation for a few years in Shanghai. In addition to relying on Zhou Yanru's reputation, he also relies on his own abilities.

As an official family, Mr. Zhou knew that the society of the Confucian Church was an official society. No matter how rich the businessman was, he would not participate in politics without shelter, and he would eventually become Chen Wansan.

Therefore, Mr. Zhou likes to make friends with officials and support students. He also needs to make money together, win over more people, and form a group so that he can protect his property in the imperial society.

At this time, Mr. Zhou was discussing opium distribution with several wealthy families in Jiangnan. "Everyone, the British have arrived after they shipped the goods. It's still the same rule. Zhou took 50% of them, and everyone left."

Several wealthy businessmen in silk in the room had a little unhappy face. They were all well-known figures in Jiangnan and had backers in the court. They had long been a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yanhui eating meat and having to drink soup.

"Zhou Yuanwai, you took 50% last time, and this time you got 50%. If there are so many goods left, how can we divide the four of us?" Ma Xi said dissatisfied.

When several wealthy businessmen saw Ma Guoma’s son’s words, they immediately agreed and asked for more points.

Zhou Yanhui looked stern, "Everyone, this business was initiated by me, so it is reasonable to eat big."

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, but Ma Xi snorted coldly, "Zhou Yuanwai, you can't say that. How bad is your business? You know, without us being suppressed by you, you would have been involved in the censor long ago, and you can still do business with peace of mind?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yanhui couldn't show his face and explained with a smile: "Don't be angry, although you still have 50% of the goods this time, compared with the last time, the goods you received were only a lot more. Because the British expanded the scale of poppy cultivation in Bangladesh, the goods were twice as much as last time. This means that the share has not changed, but the Fushou Paste that everyone got doubled."

After hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows and looked happy.

Just as everyone continued to discuss, footsteps came outside the house, and then the door was knocked open. Zhou Bangning suddenly broke in and cried with a swollen face: "Dad, you have to make the decision for your son!"

In the room, everyone looked shocked, looking at Zhou Bangning, whose face was swollen like a pig's head.

Someone among the guests said, "Nephew, what's going on? Who beat you like this? Uncles avenge you."

Zhou Yanhui gave them opium and asked them to make money. Everyone expressed their opinions when they saw this.

Zhou Yanhui, however, had a stern face and scolded: "Don't you caused trouble for me again?"

No one knows his son better than his father. When Zhou Yanhui saw it, he knew that Zhou Bangning must have done something unethical.

"Brother Zhou, this is your wrong thing. Even if your nephew is wrong, others can't beat him like this. Isn't this not giving you face?" One person complained and supported Zhou Bangning: "Nephew, tell me, tell the uncles, see which one is not open. If your father does not need to come forward, the uncles will help you make the Lord."

Although Zhou Bangning is almost thirty, he is his own child after all. No matter how wrong he is, he cannot beat the child like this.

Zhou Yanhui had a dark face, "You said, what's wrong with falling to the ground? Who dares to attack my Zhou Yanhui's son in Shanghai!"

Zhou Bangning stammered and lowered his head in a mosquito-like voice, "Dad, it was His Majesty who beat his son!"

"Who is it?" Zhou Yanhui frowned and asked, "You can shout louder!"

Zhou Bangning cried and said, "Dad, it's Your Majesty! Now Your Majesty asks me to call my dad to the county government."

"Who?" Zhou Yanhui was stunned.

"It's Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here in Shanghai!" Zhou Bangning was about to cry.

Everyone in the room took a breath when they heard the words, and everyone's faces showed shock and panic.

Zhou Yanhui was shocked and came to his senses for a long time. He said with a grudge: "You are unfair, it's okay if you do evil things in your daily life, why do you still provoke Your Majesty? Say, tell me what you did and let Your Majesty beat you like this."

"Dad!" Zhou Bangning saw Zhou Yanhui getting angry and wanted to pretend to be innocent, but when he saw Zhou Yanhui's eyes were about to kill, he could only say timidly: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that in front of our house, the civil servants are getting out of sedan chair or military officers are getting out of the horse? His Majesty passed by the mansion in a cart. Who can know that he had a small conflict with His Majesty."

Zhou Yanhui was relieved when he heard the words. If this is the case, it would be a good idea to solve it. This rule is that Zhou Bangning is ignorant and messing around. Now he is being drawn to a pig's head, which is also a lesson. He prepared some gifts himself. His Majesty saw that the old Zhou family had made contributions to the dragon, and the matter was over.

Zhou Bangning continued to whisper: "Also, when your Majesty goes to the tobacco shop, I don't know his identity. I thought it was a fat sheep from the north, so I blackmailed him for 450,000 silver dollars."

Zhou Yanhui's head was buzzing when he heard it, and his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning. His body was shaking. He was supported by Ma Xi and others beside him. "Zhou Yuanwai, keep it steady!"

"I will beat you to death!" Zhou Yanhui picked up the teacup on the table and was about to throw it at Zhou Bangning.

Ma Xi and others hurriedly hugged him, pulled him aside, and comforted him one after another: "Don't calm down, it's already happened, it's useless for you to crippled Bangning."

Zhou Bangning knelt on the ground and shivered. Zhou Yanhui was held by Ma Xi and his eyes were red and his breath was breathing heavily. After a while, he recovered from calmness.

After all, Zhou Yanhui is from an official family, has strong abilities and is also very knowledgeable about politics.

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly returned to Shanghai from outside the pass, obviously in a private visit, but his unscrupulous son hit the gun.

The conflict at the doorstep can only be said that the Zhou family is domineering and cannot be fatal. Zhou Bangning extorted the emperor hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, and could also pay it back twice as much. The worst thing is to open a tobacco shop to harm the other side.

Now Zhou Yanhui can only bet, hoping that Gao Huan did not know the harm of the tobacco shop, nor did he know the bad things he did in Shanghai.

Zhou Yanhui breathed for a while and regained his calmness. He looked at Ma Xi and others. These people were either royal relatives, families of officials in the court or white gloves, and had a great influence on the court.

"Everyone, this time the dog is in trouble, please help me!" Zhou Yanhui looked at everyone and said.

As soon as he said this, Ma Xi, who was holding him, immediately let go, allowing Zhou Yanhui to almost sit on the ground.

The Zhou family offended the emperor, and everyone came forward at this time, didn’t they tell the emperor that they had an affair with the Zhou family?

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I just remembered that there was something urgent at home, so let's take a step first!" A rich man suddenly bowed his hand and turned around and left.

"Zhou Yuanwai, we're going to talk about it another day!" Several people fled in panic.

Ma Xi said embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhou, I have a special identity, and it is not good to face the Zhou family. Instead, it makes Your Majesty even more angry. You should ask Master Zhou about this."

As he said that, Ma Xi glanced at Zhou Bangning, "If there is really no way, I suggest you kill your relatives for justice. After all, your son can be reborn. The Zhou family has collapsed and everything is over."

Zhou Bangning was shocked and looked blind. Are you polite with the surname Ma?

After saying that, Ma Xi also fled in panic.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two masters of the Zhou family left in the room. Zhou Yanhui stared at Zhou Bangning, as if he had made up some decision.

"Dad, I am your own son! You can't ignore me!" Zhou Bangning cried in shock.

Now Zhou Yanhui still felt dizzy. Zhou Bangning caused such a disaster, and the entire Zhou family might be implicated by him.

At this time, Zhou Yanhui looked at Zhou Bangning who was kneeling on the ground. The more he looked, he became more and more angry. He suddenly jumped up, picked up the vase in the room, smashed it at Zhou Bangning, and then went up and punched and kicked it.

After all, Zhou Yanhui is almost fifty years old. After a few hits, he made himself exhausted and panting.

He sat on the chair and gasped, "Take out the silver dollars that blackmailed His Majesty, and I will put another tens of thousands of dollars in it. I will go to see His Majesty with me later and apologize to His Majesty."

Zhou Bangning was beaten into a pig's head and cried with grievance: "Dad, those bills of exchange worth hundreds of thousands of yuan were stolen by a group of men in black."

After hearing this, Zhou Yanhui really beat his chest and stamped his feet. He knew that the emperor was doing it on purpose, "Why did I give birth to such a fool like you? Can the person who can take out hundreds of thousands of silver dollars for you to blackmail you at once be an ordinary person?"

Zhou Yanhui was almost angry. Perhaps Ma Xi was right. He didn't have only one son, and he could have children. Maybe he should have been killed for justice.
