Lu Zihong's mansion is located in the north of Guangzhou City, and is a gorgeous building complex with eight entrances.

The door of the mansion is very exquisite, with black purple-shirted wooden door frames, door leafs, brass door knockers the size of human heads, and a raised eaves on the top. There are double-sided brick carvings on the door lintel, with a plaque with "Purple Qi Comes East" written on it. The edge of the bucket frame is decorated with auspicious patterns such as flowers and bats. The gate tower is very tall, with three-story flying eaves and brackets. There are door piers, brick carvings, iron guard doors, and door couplets below the gate tower, all of which are available.

There is a pair of rosewood door couplets hanging on the door tower. On the left is "the sun and the moon are long" and on the right is "the eyes are far away and the world is big".

Unlike ordinary families, there is no down house built on the walls on both sides of the gatehouse, and the walls on both sides are door walls.

A pair of stone drums are placed on each side of the gate.

The stone drum was as big as a stone lion, and looked like a slander drum at the door of the yamen.

At this time, seeing the people from the Zheng family gathered at the gate of Lu Zihong, none of the people from the Lu family dared to come up to confront each other. Even the doorman guarding the gate was so scared that he hid in the yard - their master Lu Zihong was still lying on the bed with his butt? How could they rely on the right and wrong with the Zheng family now?

However, there were people around the Zheng family ten meters away. There were many people who came to see the fun, but none of them dared to get close to the vicious Zheng family. They stood far away on the road and pointed at the Lu family's gate.

There are too many people who hate the Lu family, and there are all those who want to eat the Lu family's flesh. Seeing that the Zheng family seemed to be in trouble with the Lu family, the people were all very excited.

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand to his servants.

More than forty servants threw huge iron hooks on the Lu family's courtyard wall, and finally hooked the wall on the left side of the gatehouse together.

A captain of the servant shouted loudly, and dozens of people tried their best. With a "boom", the courtyard wall on the left side of the gatehouse was pulled down.

Behind the fallen courtyard wall, the Lu family maid and servant ran away in a hug, as if they were suffering from the doomsday of a flood.

The people opened their eyes wide and watched the Zheng family breaking the Lu family's door.

Then the servants shouted loudly and threw the iron hook lock onto the wall on the right side of the gatehouse. They did the same thing and knocked down the courtyard wall on the right.

Then a group of servants took off the oil-dunked bundles of firewood from the two carriages and piled them up on the Lu family's gatehouse.

Zheng Chenggong took a torch and waited for the housekeeper to lit the velvet wood with flint, and then lit the torch on Zheng Chenggong's hand with flint wood.

Zheng Chenggong held up the torch and bowed his hands to the people on both sides of the street and shouted:

"Qin's spring soft chair store, my Zheng family has half of the shares, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is my Zheng family's business."

"Lu Zihong knew that my Zheng family had shares in the Qin family shop, but he wanted to smash the Qin family shop, and it was slapping my Zheng family in the face!"

"Is my Quanzhou Zheng family that easy to bully?"

Zheng Chenggong held up a torch, looked around at the gatehouse, and shouted loudly: "If you dare to insult my Zheng family, my Zheng family will insult him. Even if his backstage is a great official, my Zheng family will ask for an explanation!"

The people did not bother to watch the fun and let out deafening shouts.

"Well said!"

"The Zheng family's young master said it well!"

Zheng Chenggong said loudly: "Today, I will burn the Lu family's door in public. Let them understand that the only way to blame the Zheng family is to bring shame on yourself."

After saying this, Zheng Chenggong tied the torch to the firewood above the Lu family gatehouse and threw it away.

Just a "huh" sound, the oil-soaked bundles of fire burned in an instant, and a huge fire broke out on the Lujia Gate Tower, which soon ignited the wooden structure of the entire gate tower.

Later, the entire gatehouse had become a fire, burning raging.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong was careful in his work and knocked down the door wall next to the Lu family gatehouse in advance, so that there was no burning material around the gatehouse that could spread, so that the fire did not spread.

The onlookers saw that the Lu family's door was burned, laughed loudly, cheered and applauded vigorously.

Several merchants who were blackmailed by the Lu family but were unwilling to admit defeat. They were looking for contact with each other and smiled with joy. They brought in more than a dozen firecrackers and placed them in front of the burning gatehouse to set them off.

All I heard was the sound of firecrackers exploding everywhere, and the scene was so festive.

...

On May 17th, Qin Zhao sat in the "Duyun Hall" on the Chiyun Peak, happily drinking Maojian that had just been picked this year.

Qin Zhao asked the mason to go to Chiyun Peak last month and built several decent houses and several solid warehouses on Chiyun Peak. This extensive "Duyun Hall" is one of the rooms built by the mason, and was converted into a living room by Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao is in a good mood now.

This time, Qin Zhao won a great victory in the battle with the prefect Lu family. Qin Zhao forced the prefect to beat Lu Zihong in the hall, which made Lu Zihong unable to get out of bed for two months. Zheng Chenggong was even more domineering and directly burned Lu Zihong's house, so that everyone in the city knew that the Zheng family won a great victory in this battle, and the Lu family was defeated in a mess.

These days, small vendors who came to Zheng's family to seek protection umbrellas are endless, and Zheng Chenggong is said to be a little unbearable.

However, in fact, these small vendors bring little benefits. Unlike Qin Zhao's big deal, these vendors often only trade for a few hundred taels a year, and even if they ask the Zheng family to be a protective umbrella, they can't pay much money.

However, several of them have a large amount of transactions. Originally, these big deals were affiliated with the Lu family, but now the Lu family's popularity has been greatly reduced, so these families want to change their families and invest in Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong has been operating in Guangzhou for a long time, with good reputations and is not very extorted. Therefore, these big dealers with annual profits of over 1,000 taels have also been invested under the Zheng family, hoping that Zheng Chenggong will provide shelter.

Qin Zhao was also successful. Although Qin Zhao gave up 20% of the dry shares to Zheng Chenggong, he still had 60% of the shares. Based on the sales volume of 20 spring soft chairs a day, Qin Zhao's store in Guangzhou still had a profit of 2,000 taels per month.

Moreover, after defeating the Lu family this time, Qin Zhao's majesty has greatly increased. Now the entire Guangzhou city knows that Qin Zhao has a deep background and I don't expect anyone to come to find fault.

Qin Zhao could at least lie on the pile of silver safely for several months.

As for the revenge of the prefect Lu, Qin Zhao felt that Lu Yixuan did not have the courage. Because Zheng Chenggong's three thousand rioters had been circling around the outside of Guangzhou Prefecture and rushed in at any time. Qin Zhao had already asked his subordinates to walk outside and deal with it carefully, and told his subordinates not to act alone anywhere to prevent being shot. If the prefect Lu dared to take action against Qin Zhao openly at this checkpoint, Zheng Chenggong felt that his face was damaged and he would definitely put martial law in Guangzhou again.

If the martial law in Guangzhou is in place, the prefect of prefect Lu's official position will be over, and Ding Kuichu will definitely not let him go.

However, if things are planned, they will be established, and if they are not prepared, they will be abandoned.

In this 17th year of Chongzhen, the new emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty had not yet ascended the throne, and everything was getting more and more chaotic. If you want to settle down in a chaotic world, it is unreliable to rely on the short-term cooperation of the Zheng family alone, and you must have a real support.
