I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiyi, who had a handsome face, smiled and shouted to the pedestrians who were coming and going to watch the wrestling match again:

"My fellow villagers, my Fang family will be participating in the Longhua Association wrestling competition. Please come and support us."

"Today, I will show you some wrestling experts and let you all believe that my Fang family has the strength to win the championship!"

The people around looked at the young men behind Fang Yiyi, who seemed to be in good spirits but very young and not very strong, and they all had strange expressions on their faces.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one responded. They just looked at Fang Yiyi and his group with amusement, as if they were watching a joke. The scene suddenly became awkward.

Fang Yiyi was not angry, but was very happy instead. This effect was very good, very nice!

He said nice words, but no one believed him. If Xue Li and his men lose again, they will be laughed at and ridiculed.

Moreover, the news that Fang Yiyi brought some wrestlers who would fall down with a push to participate in the Longhua Association wrestling competition would spread throughout Chang'an in an instant. It was really amazing!

Thinking about the increase in the odds and how he could make a lot of money, Fang Yiyi couldn't help but smile even more brightly.

The people around the ring all looked at Fang Yiyi's inexplicable smile with strange expressions.

A sentence popped up in my mind: "Is this Fang Jia Sanlang mentally ill?"

No one moved around the ring. The wrestlers looked at Xue Li and the others with disdain, unwilling to fight with them.

Fang Yiyi gave Xue Li and others a look, and they looked at each other.

Liu Erniu stepped onto the stage with big strides as usual. The young man with a simple and honest face smiled and saluted to the people in the audience, saying:

"Please enlighten me!"

No one moved in the audience, and Liu Erniu just stood quietly on the stage.

After more than ten breaths.

A deep, attractive and mature female voice came from a tavern next to the ring.

"Sun Er, go up and ask this little brother for advice!"

A burly wrestler replied respectfully:

"Yes, boss!"

When Fang Yiyi heard the voice and looked, he saw a young woman wearing a sky-blue brocade double-breasted skirt, with a sky-blue shawl hanging from her arms, her hair tied up, revealing her snow-white neck, oval face, and a cold and beautiful look, who was looking at him coldly.

When this young and beautiful woman met Fang Yiyi's confused eyes, a hint of anger emerged in her almond-shaped eyes that Fang Yiyi did not understand.

The anger was fleeting, but was caught by the sharp-eyed Fang Yiyi.

Fang Yiyi was completely confused. He thought about it for a moment and wondered:

"Who is this woman? I don't remember her, and I haven't come into contact with her since I traveled through time."

"Why are you looking at me with anger? When did I ever have a grudge against her?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a pretty maid came to Fang Yiyi.

Chapter 242: Chang'an's Richest Widow, Lady Zuo

Just look at this strange maid, she crosses her arms and bows respectfully and says:

"Meet Mr. Sanlang of the Fang family. My wife invites you."

As she spoke, the maid raised her head and motioned him to look at the tavern on the stage.

Fang Yiyi looked at the cold and beautiful young woman again, nodded, and walked over with big strides.

It was obvious that there was no good intention in the other party's eyes, so Fang Yiyi lost his humble and polite attitude and sat directly opposite the cold-eyed young woman.

He picked up the wine jug in front of the other person and poured himself a glass of wine.

The slender fingers held the wine cup and placed it under the high nose bridge.

Fang Yiyi sniffed it and praised, "Excellent osmanthus wine. This lady has really good taste."

He stared at the other party who was treated so cynically by him, and was so angry that he was as cold as ice, but he could do nothing about it. He forced himself to suppress his anger and drank the wine in the glass with a smile. Then he asked:

"I don't know this lady's name yet. What brings me here to see you?"

The cold and beautiful young woman took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, saluted and said: "I am Zuo Huirong, the owner of Fanghua Pavilion, and I am honored to meet Mr. Sanlang of the Fang family!"

Zuo Huirong, the owner of Fanghua Pavilion?

Hearing this name, Fang Yiyi's mind instantly recalled the cold and beautiful young woman with the temperament of a queen.

Fanghua Pavilion is the largest gold, silver and jade jewelry shop in Chang'an, and basically monopolizes all mid- to high-end jewelry.

The most surprising thing is that the owner of Fanghua Pavilion, Zuo Huirong, was from a poor family and her husband's family was also ordinary people. She lost her husband at an early age and started doing business at the age of seventeen. With her own efforts and as a woman, she earned a fortune in just thirteen years. She was said to be the richest widow in Chang'an.

In his thirteen years of ups and downs in the business world, he has never been involved in any scandal, has always kept himself clean, and has always been charitable and generous, helping those in need.

Because she was as beautiful as a flower and as pretty as a fairy, the poor people she rescued called her Zuo Bodhisattva.

Since ancient times, men have been valued more than women, not to mention that widows are always surrounded by gossips. It is conceivable how difficult it was for Zuo Huirong to keep herself clean in a business world full of dirty tricks and to build up such a considerable family business, and one can also imagine how powerful her methods were.

Facing such a strong woman, she is also a strong woman who often does good deeds.

Fang Yiyi put away his cynicism and said with admiration:

"It turned out to be Madam Zuo. I was rude just now, please forgive me!"

Zuo Huirong was stunned by the completely different attitude from before, and the coldness on her face dissipated a little.

She stared at the young man in front of her, pursed her lips, and her original anger dissipated. She looked a little pleading and said:

"I have no intention of blaming you."

"I invited Sanlang of the Fang family to come over today to talk because I want to ask him a favor."

Fang Yiyi said sternly, "Madam Zuo, please feel free to speak."

Zuo Huirong bit her red lips lightly, looking embarrassed, and said bitterly:

"Although I have some property, I am still just a woman. Can you please let me go?"

At this point, Zuo Huirong lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and pleaded with great determination, like a hero cutting off his own arm:

"I am willing to give up my business in Chang'an and hand it over to the Fang family. I will never set foot in Chang'an again. Please, Mr. Fang, let me go."

Instantly, a cold light appeared in Fang Yiyi's eyes, and he asked:

"Why do you say that, Madam Zuo?"

"Who in my Fang family is targeting Madam Zuo?"

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against officials, let alone businessmen.

No matter how much money Zuo Huirong earned, she was still a lowly businessman, not to mention that she was a widow.

Chapter 243: The Poor Experience of Lady Zuo

Even if the Fang family is not one of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, it is still the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty.

If the Fang family wants to deal with Zuo Huirong, they don’t have to do it themselves. Just say a word and countless people will take action on their behalf.

Not to mention, Zuo Huirong is a beautiful and wealthy widow. There are countless people who would be willing to take advantage of her.

At this moment, Zuo Huirong's words clearly imply that the Fang family is targeting her.

But the Fang family had no other relatives in Chang'an, that is, Fang Xuanling's family.

My grandfather is busy with government affairs, and my second brother has no interest in other women except his second sister-in-law, Princess Gaoyang. Now he is even more obsessed with business, not to mention Fang Yiyi.

If you think about it carefully, someone must be bullying others under the banner of the Fang family, or someone must be using the name of the Fang family to do evil and frame the Fang family.

How could Fang Yiyi not be angry!

Zuo Huirong looked at Fang Yiyi and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it. She hesitated for a moment and said:

"Don't you know that Manager Zhao of your Fang Family Porcelain and Embroidery Shop suppressed Fanghua Pavilion and even threatened that I would be spared if I offered myself to him?"

Fang Yiyi was puzzled and frowned.

"Shopkeeper Zhao?"

"Porcelain Embroidery Shop is my second brother's shop. I've only been there a few times and don't know who Shopkeeper Zhao is."

After the opening of the Porcelain Embroidery Shop, Fang Yiai has been doing the work himself. Fang Yiyi had also been staying in the shop until yesterday afternoon. There was no such person as Manager Zhao.

Zuo Huirong frowned and asked angrily:

"Fang Sanlang, let's not beat around the bush. Although I am a woman and not well educated, I know that you are the one who makes the final decision for the Porcelain Embroidery Shop."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you today."

"How could you not know about the Fang Family Porcelain and Embroidery Shop's owner, Zhao Yao?!"

When the Cixiu Shop opened, it was suppressed by Qiancihang and Baixiu Shop, and every merchant in Chang'an knew about it.

After that, the porcelain embroidery shop suddenly made a fortune and was packed with customers.

After Zuo Huirong inquired about what happened, she analyzed that all the changes in the Porcelain Embroidery Shop were due to the work of Sanlang of the Fang family who appeared the next day.

Fang Yiai, the second son of the Fang family, is just the one who is in charge. The one who really makes the decisions and controls the overall situation is Fang Yiyi in front of him.

How could Zhao Yao dare to ask Zuo Huirong to offer herself to him if he didn't get her consent?

It was thought that Fang Yiyi donated the coal mine and was respected by the people of Chang'an, and that he had changed his previous playboy character.

Unexpectedly, he is such a despicable bastard!

She knew that if this matter were to get out, no one would believe that Fang Yiyi, a kind-hearted man, would allow people to bully a widow like her.

She also knew that she couldn't afford to offend the Fang family and had already prepared for the worst.

Relying on the connections she has accumulated over the years and the huge wealth she has earned.

She can’t afford to offend the Fang family, but she can afford to hide from them!

She had the means to change her appearance, and before the Fang family took action, she ran away and went to live in the south.

If she didn't want to find a way out for the sisters who had worked with her for many years, she would not have taken the risk to meet Fang Yiyi, a playboy with a beastly heart.

At this moment, Fang Yiyi pretended not to know.

How to make Zuo Huirong not angry!

Fang Yiyi's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "I, Fang Yiyi, would never deceive a woman like you."

"I wanted to talk to you nicely, but you were rude. I'll remember this!"

"I'll settle accounts with you after I've dealt with this matter of yours!"

The words have fallen!

Zuo Huirong's face turned pale and she wanted to get up and leave, but Fang Yiyi's ruthless and sharp eyes made her tremble all over and she dared not move.

How could a widow doing business withstand the aura of the Chinese military king in the previous life?

Chapter 244: Please tell me how to punish the woman

Fang Yiyi raised his hand and gestured.

Bao Twelve, the Shadow Leopard Guard, who had been following him since he entered the city and was always ready to do anything for him, quickly came to his side.

"Greetings, sir. Please give me your orders!"

Fang Yiyi pointed at Zuo Huirong and said, "Check out the owner Zhao of the porcelain embroidery shop that Madam Zuo mentioned."

"One quarter of an hour. I want to know the whole story."

"Yes!" After the Shadow Leopard Guard agreed, he disappeared without a trace in a few flashes under Zuo Huirong's astonished gaze.

Zuo Huirong, who thought she was used to the methods used by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, was filled with despair.

She thought she could run, but with the skills displayed by Fang Yiyi's men, she couldn't escape even if she had wings!

She couldn't help but start to regret why she had fallen into the trap. It would have been much better if she had persuaded all the sisters to leave Chang'an last night!

But there is no regret medicine in the world!

Now that things have come to this, as long as we don't tarnish her innocence, everything will be fine.

The worst that can happen is that all the family wealth will be lost.
