"What's there to be afraid of? It's only two hundred thousand taels of silver, and the Fang family is still around." Zhang Shizu didn't care at all after hearing his subordinate's report.
Another scion of a prominent family, however, looked shrewd: "I want to know what kind of stuff he's dealing in that's so valuable."
"You'd better not know, and I'd better not know either."
"How so?"
“A business that can make this much profit, I estimate…” Zhang Shizu gestured, and everyone else stared wide-eyed.
“But it’s none of our business. We’re just investing money.” Zhang Shizu said smugly. “Besides, you all know that the Fang family offended the emperor. It’s good for us to make as much money as possible now.”
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Let him do the deadly work, we can just pick up the pieces."
Fang Zhiyi, who had disappeared for several days, reappeared, still informing them of the money distribution.
Seeing their principal and substantial profits, these second-generation rich kids got excited, and some even decided to invest more on the spot. However, Fang Zhiyi refused, saying he was tired and needed to rest.
The less anxious he was, the more anxious these people became. Moreover, the previously agreed-upon secrecy quickly spread within their circle, resulting in almost all the second-generation elites of prominent families in Beijing coming the next time Fang Zhiyi announced he was going to ship goods.
Fang Zhiyi immediately stated that more money wasn't necessarily better, as the quantity of goods was limited, and then began to expel people from the scene.
But when night fell, Zhang Shizu secretly arrived and left behind two million taels of silver notes, which he had stolen by opening his family's treasury without permission.
Then came another one, a third one, a fourth one...
Everyone is afraid that when it's their turn, they won't get a share.
Seeing Fang Zhiyi accept the money with a troubled expression, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Zhiyi made it very clear that this trip would take longer, and they would have to wait until her younger brother's wedding before setting off, which was reasonable and no one questioned it.
On the day of Fang Congyun's wedding, although both the Fang and Jian families sent out invitations, not many guests came, since many people knew about the Fang family's offense against the emperor.
Nobody wants to get involved at this time.
The desolate wedding scene was hard for Fang Congyun, the pride of heaven, to accept. He didn't understand why he was getting married when he was perfectly fine, and he couldn't understand why the Fang family looked so precarious.
After much deliberation, he blamed everything on Fang Zhiyi.
When Fang Congyun saw Jian Xiaoyu's blushing face, he felt no emotion whatsoever, and even felt a sense of disgust.
Fang Zhiyi is ranked first, and this woman is ranked second. Who told you to say everything in front of so many people?
The quiet wedding banquet ended, and the two happiest people were Fang Zhiyi and Jian Xiaoyu.
When Fang Zhiyi called her younger brother and sister-in-law, Jian Xiaoyu laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Seeing Fang Zhiyi's nonchalant attitude, Fang's father gritted his teeth in frustration. In just this short period, this unfilial son had asked the family for a lot of money, saying he was going to do business, but he hadn't brought back a single penny of profit.
The more he looked at Fang Zhiyi, the more murderous intent filled his heart.
The next day, Fang Zhiyi left Beijing with Peng Huan'er. Before leaving, he made a special trip to inform the "shareholders". The second generation were very happy. Thinking that they would soon be able to hold their heads high at home, they could hardly suppress their joy. They all agreed that once they made this money, they would tell their families that they were not just a lazy bum who did nothing!
Fang's father breathed a sigh of relief when Fang Zhiyi took the initiative to leave.
He had already decided to find a sparsely populated place and cripple this unfilial son! In particular, he would make sure his mouth could never spout nonsense again!
A day after Fang Zhiyi set off, Fang's father also made an excuse to go out.
He had already ordered his men to follow Fang Zhiyi, waiting for him to get a little further away before making a move. He followed the marks along the way, and as a fighter, his speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.
