Yao Xisheng smiled bitterly: "Killing those people who went south is not a way to get rid of them once and for all?"
After saying that, Yao Xisheng looked strange: "Didn't you let me enter the house because you knew that this was the only way?"
Ouyang Huarao angrily scolded: "Stop talking nonsense in my Ouyang house!!"
After that, he flicked his sleeves and strode towards the lobby just ahead.
Yao Xisheng smiled and closed his sleeves, but looking at Ouyang Huarao's back, he guessed that the big thing was done, and the next step was to arrange the chess pieces.
Entering the lobby, Yao Xisheng looked at the seven people in the lobby and slapped his head with a smile.
The Confucian scholar sitting at the front of the hall waved his hand: "Mr. Yao, please sit down and talk."
Yao Xisheng smiled and asked directly without sitting down: "You are still doing nothing and waiting to be exterminated?"
One word resounded throughout the lobby.
Ouyang Huarao frowned.
The other family heads looked at Yao Xisheng one by one with very unfriendly eyes. Some of them with a hot temper stood up and shouted angrily!
On the other hand, Ouyang Wen, the contemporary head of the Ouyang family sitting at the front, smiled sadly and raised his hand. Although the anger in the hall was still there, everyone stopped moving and just sat on their chairs.
Yao Xisheng smiled and looked at Ouyang Wenyou. "Wherever the emperor passes by, those who obey will prosper and those who disobey will perish. You created the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, Xiushui Villa, and the Fan family who are now qualified to sit here. Especially Quyang City where the Fan family is located, it was originally an important trade turning point for the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce, and it was also the place where you opened up the trade point with the Western Regions. But now, it has been captured and killed by the Yuan family who obeyed the emperor. The old man of the Yuan family is even heading towards a direction where no grass will grow. All your powerful stores in Quyang City have been completely eliminated! The emperor's next destination is Guangling City. Although the Xu family, Qi family, and Zuo family there have nothing to do with you, if they are gone, can the Ouyang family and the other families survive?"
Ouyang Wenyou said, "I have heard for a long time that the art of persuasion and hesitancy of the strategists is amazing, sir. Now it's time to call you Taoist priest. You hit our weak spot as soon as you walked in. Please sit down first. We are all smart people. You should know that there is no need to test us like this. Besides, my third sister told me what we talked about just now and how you answered. You should have guessed that we did have this idea in mind."
Yao Xisheng smiled, and this time he sat directly on the chair, and then said: "I have to test you, the head of the Ouyang family, otherwise how can I trust you to hand over my five masters of the realm to you?"
Hearing this, there are five masters of Zhimingjing.
In the lobby, Ouyang Wenyou's expression remained unchanged, but everyone else looked at each other, and then looked at Yao Xisheng.
Ouyang Huarao even asked: "Did you plan the so-called Eighth Prince plotting to assassinate the Emperor?"
Yao Xisheng shook his head: "I didn't participate. I was with the Zoroastrian Cult at that time. It was one of my colleagues who planned it, but unfortunately, it was used by the emperor, and the Eighth Prince was killed instead."
Ouyang Huarao immediately asked: "Then how are you sure that the emperor did not deliberately set a trap for us this time! The emperor was so arrogant, and even sent people from the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce to Zhao Yulang to question my Ouyang family. Various actions made it clear You just want us to take action."
Yao Xisheng said: "It was the Emperor who wanted to force Qingliu from your family to kill her. Is there any need to speculate on this matter?"
Ouyang Huarao was a little angry because this was not the first time that Yao Xisheng treated her like a fool!
And Yao Xisheng continued: "It's a conspiracy. Whether you can evade it or not, you will be trapped. The emperor wants to kill people, but your Ouyang family can stop it with just the death-free gold medal? So, the emperor knows that you only have There is a way to go, so of course she will let you take it.”
One of the family heads stood up and shouted angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense!?"
Yao Xisheng shook his head: "So I'm here to help you. If you want to live, you have to kill the king. If you want to die, just wait and enjoy the joy of these days. Isn't Old Master Ouyang celebrating his birthday soon? Have a good time, After all, he could die at any time.”
Snapped! !
After saying this, some family heads could no longer sit still and stood up immediately as they slapped the table.
After all, the old man's birthday is involved in his death, how can he not be angry!
But Ouyang Wenyou said softly: "Everyone, sit down."
After saying these three words, these family heads sat down one after another after watching Ouyang Wen worry about what he was about to say but then stopped.
Ouyang Wenyou looked at Yao Xisheng: "Is the Queen really at her limit? Is that the Sword Immortal her?"
Yao Xisheng nodded: "I can't believe it myself, but as far as the information is concerned, it is really her. I don't know what method was used. It was already the end of the world in just six months, but several people of the end were killed with one knife, and that one With the sword, he killed one of the ten people in the world, along with a dozen of the ultimate masters."
Ouyang Wenyou continued to ask: "If that's the case, are your five stops still useful?"
Yao Xisheng said: "Of course there is. After all, it is a borrowed sword. Now that sword is just an empty frame. It cannot be used to pull out such a sword."
Ouyang Wenyou looked at Yao Xisheng: "How sure."
Yao Xisheng said: "No need to confirm, it is true. And thanks to the sword drawn, otherwise, we would really not be able to do this."
Ouyang Wenyou continued to ask: "How strong are your five people?"
Yao Xisheng said: "The four of them are more powerful than the three in your house."
Ouyang Wenyou fell silent.
Yao Xisheng looked at Ouyang Wenyou, smiled and said: "I just learned that your Shangjun Chamber of Commerce has done a casual business with Dashi and other countries, which is more than one million taels of silver. Such a huge wealth, the emperor naturally knows it, but can't see it If you can’t get it, if you ask me, I’ll kill you and get it.”
Ouyang Wenyou's expression remained unchanged, and all the family heads in the lobby frowned. Even Ouyang Huarao also looked at his brother.
In fact, there are many things that don’t need to be said.
Because what they were worried about was also the power of that sword.
As for whether to do it or not.
Of course it has to be done!
After all, the emperor came here to kill people, and none of them wanted to die!
Ouyang Wenyou looked at the tea leaves in the cup and asked again: "Behind the emperor, there must be the Shence Army, and even Yan Yunxiao personally leads the Chixia Army."
Yao Xisheng said: "Three thousand Shence Army, five hundred Huanglong Guards, Huanglong Guard are all in the dark. As for Yan Yunxiao, he is still sitting in the capital. The emperor is surrounded by Li Xizhi, the leader of the Shence Army, and the Queen."
Ouyang Wenyou took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at Yao Xisheng: "The emperor had planned all the plans to kill Li Nichang, Xia Chenfeng, and Li Shanchang in advance, and every time they were not perfect. How are you sure that the emperor did not guess Shu? The king will cooperate with us, or the emperor already knows everything we are going to do."
Yao Xisheng smiled: "No need to guess, after all, it has reached the point of seeing who can kill whom. It depends on who has more variables."
With that said, Yao Xisheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "The only variable in the emperor's case is whether the queen has such a sword again. After all, the sword is gone, but I don't know if there is another one. So I came here today to do one thing besides sending those five samadhis."
Ouyang Wenyou looked at Yao Xisheng.
Yao Xisheng said: "My master once told me something about your old man. He said that among the ten people in the world who could fight Yan Yunxiao repeatedly [Two Invincibles], he had some friendship with Mr. Ouyang. ?”
Ouyang Huarao frowned: "If you want to ask my father to invite that person to come out of the mountain, just pretend that this matter doesn't exist! Let alone our Ouyang family, I'm afraid even you, the King of Shu, can't invite him! Not to mention doing this!"
Yao Xisheng smiled and said: "I can't find the person, so I can't send this note, but you know where the person is, right? So, please send this note. After reading it, the person will definitely Take action!"
Ouyang Wenyou opened the note at this time.
There is a line of words written on it.
'The Sword Immortal is still alive, and the Emperor and the Queen know where the Sword Immortal is. '
Ouyang Wenyou looked at Yao Xisheng.
Yao Xisheng smiled and stood up: "It's comfortable to talk to smart people. The Ouyang family is indeed much smarter than the Xu family. The main purpose of Pindao coming here today is to send this note. If the purpose is achieved, it depends on whether he does it or not. How to do it, I will not be involved in these matters. As for the five masters of the end, the three in the Ouyang family should be able to feel where they are. Just tell them before doing it. "
After that, Yao Xisheng bowed his head and left.
But just when he turned around, he thought of something and turned to look at Ouyang Wenyou: "Ouyang's family master is a smart man, at least smarter than I thought, so you should know that you didn't know the identity of their group before you took action, but only knew These gangsters killed people, so they did it in the name of justice and morality, and that was all."
Yao Xisheng bowed to Ouyang Wenyou again, turned around and left.
Righteous morality and rightful reputation are never the goal, but only a means.
Yao Xisheng must be aware of this matter when he knows that Ouyang lives there, but he still needs to be reminded.
Walking out of the lobby, Yao Xisheng looked up at the sky. It was sunny after the rain. It was such a nice day.
Chapter 496 It would be nice if the eldest sister was here, so the eldest sister came
Su Liheng, who left the capital, understood a truth.
It turns out that the success of my business in the capital was all because of my eldest sister and the Su family.
Because when he arrived at Guangling City, he realized that without the help of Wanli Chamber of Commerce, it would be really difficult to get to Guangling City in the south!
Although Li Jiulang reminded him that it was a good thing to cooperate with the Wanli Chamber of Commerce, he had to have a backup plan, so Su Liheng found many merchant families in the south such as the Xin family who could not do business, and bought from them. Don't shop these things.
And sure enough, as Li Jiulang said, the Wanli Chamber of Commerce originally had a good negotiation with him, but suddenly, the people from the Wanli Chamber of Commerce said they did not intend to cooperate with him.
Although it was expected, Su Liheng had already invested money, and the cooperation was suddenly terminated just when it started to operate, which gave Su Liheng a headache for a while, but fortunately he had a backup plan.
However, Wanli Chamber of Commerce suddenly interfered!
He bought a shop here in Guangling, but the workshops for making [red lip] rouge and those around [Red Mansion] are still in the Sujia Village outside the capital.
Therefore, goods have to be transported here, and more can be transported faster through rivers.
So Su Liheng thought that one batch of goods would be transported by land with him, and another batch of goods would be transported by river.
Unexpectedly, the goods in the river were stuck.
It's not the people in the water transportation field, after all, Su Liheng has taken care of a lot, but the Hedao Yamen, a lot of excuses, it's stuck.
Even though it has the name of Huangshang and documents from the Ministry of Revenue, those people also insist that things should be done according to the rules. All goods need to be inspected before they can be released. Moreover, there is such a rule in the Daxia River regulations, even if it is from the Ministry of Revenue. Unless the emperor personally orders the goods, if there is any problem, the goods must be inspected.
Su Liheng made a trip in person and found out that it was the Xu family and the Tan family of Wanli Chamber of Commerce who were doing this, especially the Xu family. Because the river transportation in the south is in charge of the shipyard, the Xu family is basically the only one in water transportation, and that The official was also named Xu.
Even though Xu Lezhi, who was originally from the Wanli Chamber of Commerce, had a very good relationship with him, because of Xu Zuiyin and Xu Ren's incident, Xu Lezhi was basically kicked out, and he couldn't speak at all and couldn't help Su Liheng.
But if it’s just that the goods are detained, it doesn’t really matter.
But it was the grandsons of the Xu family who had no knowledge of Su Liheng. When they arrived in Guangling, all the shops were about to open, and they began to publicize it. After the advertisement, the news that the goods had been detained was sent to Su Liheng.
The shop is open, the advertisement is out, and many people are waiting for the opening day.
In the end, there wasn’t much left!
This was all Su Liheng's fault. Because he was so comfortable in the capital, and he had the support of the Imperial Merchant and the Ministry of Household Affairs, as well as the Su family and Su Chang'an, he thought he could do anything.
So Su Liheng didn't think much about many things.
When I was about to think about it, something unexpected happened like this.
Su Liheng stood by the window. The little fat boy was still the little fat boy, but compared to when he was in the capital, he was a little thinner and there was a lot more sadness between his eyebrows.
Xu Lezhi walked into the room at this time, shook his head and sighed: "Li Heng, I went to find a clerk in the Hedao Yamen and asked carefully. The Xu family said they would wait until one month after we open for business before releasing the goods. But the day lilies were already cold at that time. It seemed that they were only satisfied if we broke the trust of our customers once and ruined our reputation."
The most important thing in doing business is credibility and reputation. If it is ruined once, it will be impossible to repair it again!
Su Liheng clenched his fists when he heard this, and then took a few deep breaths. He remembered what Li Jiulang told him, remember to be calm and cautious when encountering difficulties in the south. Business is not important, what is important is your method of handling these things.
He also remembered what his eldest sister casually told him before: "When you are indecisive, curse a few times and let out a few breaths. This will make it easier for him to calm down and help him find a solution." '
but.
In the past few days, Su Liheng had scolded countless Xu family ladies, but there was still nothing he could do.
Xu Lezhi looked at Su Liheng and said, "How about we ship out all the goods we have on hand tomorrow, then temporarily close the business, and tell the outside world that we will wait for the next batch of goods?"
