Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Terrible Living
The two men stood with their backs to the curtains, unaware of anyone in the pavilion.
"Have you thought about what to say for a moment?" one of them asked.
The other shook his head: "The owner has a poisonous eye, it is definitely not possible to hide it from him, now only the young master can save you and me." As he spoke, he looked left and right, "The young master gave me a breath before, saying that the matter will have a result today. 」
The one who spoke first was still worried: "Don't mention it, I haven't heard of tobacco being shipped with wine. Besides, can Fu Ye really trust that kid? It's been rumored by the gods, and I don't know if it's true or not......
"You can't even think of this?" The latter sneered: "Even if Fu Ye finds out, you can also frame the blame, isn't it, it can be regarded as a multiple way out." 」
These two people are sneaky, Bai Cheng didn't want to eavesdrop, who would have let him hear such a big secret before he hid out.
His eyes flashed over the harmless face of people and animals in Nannan, and he suddenly felt cold all over his body.
What kind of depth does a person's city have to be to look so sincere when calculating others?
After the two left, Bai Yuan hurriedly went back to the house and explained the matter to Wen Shen.
Wen Shen was puzzled in his eyes: "Once it involves tobacco and soil, this matter will be widely involved, is Yu Wannan really so bold?"
"Tobacco and soil harm people, and even more harm to the country," Bai Yuan didn't care about Yu Yunan, but said, "Even if the old lady can't explain it, in the end, I really want to leave Tai Yongde because of this, and I can't let Jiangu be used as a cover for that kind of person." 」
Wen Shen didn't refute, but said, "I can't let you go. 」
Bai Yuan sat down on the table covered with ledgers, swinging his legs, "Boss, you have to understand that they deliberately used Tai Yongde as a gunman, once something happens......
Before he finished speaking, Wen Shen suddenly waved his hand, and Bai fell silently.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Li Pingxia stood by the door, "Dongjia, the old lady sent someone to call Bai Cheng to go to the inner courtyard, I didn't dare to say that he didn't go to work today, sneak over to inform you two." 」
Bai Yuan jumped down from the table, "Master, do you know why she came to me?"
Li Pingxia nodded: "It was the young master of the Yu family who came and asked you to come over by name." 」
"Catching up with the door?" Bai fell subconsciously to look at Wen Shen, "That person is deep in the city and scheming, it must be that I left without saying a word just now, and he noticed something." 」
Wen Shen lifted his coat, got up and shook his head: "After all, this kind of thing needs to be covered up, even if you doubt it, it should be just a temptation, and it won't be so bold. He walked over to Bai Fall's side, "Let's go over and have a look." 」
Then, he instructed Li Pingxia: "There will be wine tomorrow, so the master will go and get busy first." 」
But before the two of them had gone far, Li Pingxia actually followed: "I'm not too worried, let's go over with the two of you to have a look." 」
After speaking, he walked in front of the two of them, his thin shoulders blown by the wind, and his single clothes stood upright.
When the three of them arrived at the inner courtyard, the old lady was playing chess with Yu Wannan.
As soon as the chess game opened, the black and white pieces were just hanging on the corners, and there were eight Mid-Autumn Festival salutes on the side of the chessboard, thinking that they were brought by Yu Yunan.
The two sat opposite each other, and they couldn't see the old lady's hostility towards the family, and after a few hands, she even laughed.
Bai Yuan was very suspicious of what the second son said before, it was all nonsense.
Yu Wannan noticed their side, and before the chess pieces fell, he stopped and said politely: "Uncle Wen's chess skills are exquisite, and Wannan will come to ask for advice another day, how about we talk about business first?"
"It's also exquisite, coaxing my old woman. 」
The old lady smiled and asked people to remove the chessboard, beckoned Wen Shen to come closer, and showed an unprecedentedly approving look: "You have done a good job this time, Young Master Yu is willing to pay twice the price, from our family's altar sword Gu, and now the ocean has brought it." I'm not a woman who can't participate, so you go and sign the contract. 」
Yu Yu, who co-authored the visit, did not come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but to preemptively strike.
Wen Shen came to the door twice before, although I don't know how to talk about it, but I promised a low price
Definitely, but Yu Yunan did not agree.
Now that he saw that there was a possibility that the matter would be revealed, he immediately found the old lady who loved face to facilitate the matter.
In order to celebrate the release of the new wine, the Wen family's relatives and friends in Chishui live in the backyard these days, and if you guess correctly, this "great joy" of the owner selling the altar wine at a high price should have been spread all over the world.
Gentleness is like being roasted on a fire.
High, really high. Bai Yuan figured out the twists and turns, and couldn't help but want to give Yu Wannan a thumbs up. This ability to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger really makes people want to kick him out of the door.
How could this kind of person take advantage of the loophole under his nose, Bai Cheng stood up with his head held high: "The Yu family is in charge of the waterways of Qianyang, and there are countless people who want to cooperate with it, why do you have to buy Tai Yongde's wine at a high price?
Without waiting for the other party's reaction, he continued: "The world is chaotic right now, tobacco is more expensive than gold, you can guess without asking, this kind of thing must be firmly in Fu Shaotong's hands. No matter how much the Yu family has a way, they can't get out, so the young master thought of a good way. He saw Fu Shaotong help me on the street a few days ago, and he thought about relying on my affection to avoid interrogation, so he wanted to use Jiangu as a cover. Old lady, don't lose the watermelon and pick the sesame seeds. 」
He said so much in one breath, but the old lady just sat down, not surprised, not scolding, so abnormal that it made people's hearts beat drums.
There was silence for a while, and Wen Shen spoke to help: "Mother, Bai Cheng has a point. There is a kingdom and a people, and the world is so turbulent, even if we can't help the world, at least we have to be alone. Things that are related to tobacco and soil, let alone twice as much, even if it is ten times the profit, you can't touch it. 」
"Fourth brother is so big. Ye came in from outside the door, followed by a group of Wen family uncles.
Everyone entered the courtyard, all with serious faces, and silently found a place to stand.
He paced back and forth as he spoke, "The elders are considerate, but the younger ones can't be unreasonable. Although I don't know as much as you, I know that being able to make money is the real skill. Brother Nan promised his mother just now, once the tobacco was successfully transported out this time, he would give us a profit of 10%. Fourth brother, you don't need me to calculate, how many oceans is this percentage, right?"
Wen Shen was stunned: "He told you about the smoke and soil before?"
No wonder the old lady was so calm when Bai Cheng told everything and everything.
"Nonsense!" Wen Shen reprimanded him harshly, and saluted to the elders around him: "Uncles, you all grew up listening to the story of Lord Lin selling cigarettes, even if you don't mention the righteousness of the family and the country, when your father was alive, have you forgotten about forcing Tai Yongde's men to quit smoking?
"Besides," Wen Shen slowed down his tone again, and persuaded bitterly, "Something like big smoke, once it gets touched, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the house, it will turn into water and flow away. How many people's lessons are there, and our Wen family must not follow in their footsteps. 」
An old man on the other side cleared his throat: "Shen'er, Uncle knows that you are an upright person, but in this world, tobacco and soil are equal to real money, and those of rich families have never handled it......
"Yes," another person chimed in, "there are so many poppy growers in the countryside that every year the whole village boils a lot of tobacco paste and sends it to the tobacco house." If I want to say this money, it is falling in the belt of the Chinese, and it has nothing to do with the righteousness of the family and the country. 」
"What's more, you can't talk about the money that you said turned into water and went away. Let's help cover it up, it's an extra cash cow!Shen'er, don't be stubborn!"
"yes, yes. 」
"Shen'er can't be too stubborn. 」
For a moment, everyone agreed. Countless examples came out of their mouths, and they became the most beneficial evidence that Jian Gu was reduced to other people's wedding dresses, which was high-sounding and justifiable.
"No. Wen Shen's face was resolute, and he said in a cold voice: "Do you know who you are making enemies of if you do this? As long as I am still in charge of this family, I will never agree. 」
With just this sentence, the young master suddenly became a master
The target of public criticism, disappointment and accusations were thrown over one after another.
But he seems to have an iron heart, and he has to rely on his own strength to fight against everyone's selfishness, "Lilu is famous, and he is regarded as white. The Wen family's family motto is there, raise your head three feet, do you really want to destroy Tai Yongde for the sake of money?"
These few words, like a thousand pounds of stones falling to the ground, instantly smashed everyone's voices down.
In the hesitation of the courtyard, the old lady put down the teacup slowly, "I can't figure out the big truths you said, and I can't figure it out, but I know that making money is the responsibility of the family. You have been in charge for a long time, and if such a good business is yellow, you will change the owner!"
"Yes, yes, you have to think about the clan as a leader, otherwise why would everyone support you?"
"Shen'er is also dedicated, but it's a pity that his ability is not good, in my opinion, it is better to let the capable live. 」
"This time, Ti'er ran before and after, and also supported such a big winery in Qianyang by herself, I heard that the wine has been sold before it is out of the cellar. 」
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the broken drum was beaten by 10,000 people.
Bai Yuan, who couldn't stand it, was just about to step forward, but Li Pingxia beside him was one step ahead of him, walked next to Wen Shen, and shouted, "Enough!"
Then, in front of everyone, he stabbed his clothes with both hands.
His skin was sallow, his belly was deeply sunken downward, the ribs on his chest were distinct, and there seemed to be only one skin on his whole body, wrapped around the bones.
It's a horrible living person like a dried corpse.
