A white full moon hung in the air, and the moonlight poured down the streets of Yangzhou City like mercury, making it as bright as day.

In a house in the new city, the lights were bright at this time, and the representatives of salt merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were gathering in the meeting hall, and voices were constantly coming from inside.

"We can't sit still, we can't come from Hu surnamed Lin!"

Everyone sat in order, and in the face of the news of Lin Haoran's imminent arrival, there was a young boy who clearly objected.

There are as many as eight salt merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang gathered here, all of whom are big salt merchants with thousands of dollars, but the most significant are the Wang family and the Weng family.

The Wang family has been in business for generations, Wang Yanxiang and his third son Wang Weizhen are famous businessmen, and this line is a history of the Ming Xian, filial piety, and Wu dynasties, and the official to the cabinet of the prime minister Wang Wei, the prime minister of the mountain, made the Wang family one of the leaders of Zhejiang merchants in one fell swoop.

The Weng family originated from the business wizard Weng Di. When Weng Di was young, he crossed the river and crossed the Huai, went to Qingyuan, Shanxi Province to do business, governed the four mansions, and went to Jiukui to attract merchants from all over the world, and the business was prosperous. And select the children and servants who are scheming and strong, give them strategies, bribe them with cloth threads, indigo, and cotton goods, and go back and forth between Jingchu, Jianye, Fujian and Guangdong, and even Liaozuo and Jiangbei, so as to accumulate a large family business, and even get "those who are rich in words must be the first to be called Weng" in the local area.

It is the Weng family who initiated the gathering today, and Weng is over fifty years old and has a lot of prestige in the Zhejiang business community.

Weng Yuanwai inherited the shrewdness of his ancestors in business, but he objected: "Lin Wenkui has strategy and courage, and behind him is Wu Shan, the secretary of the ministry, and even the emperor is very fond of him. Lu Gongzi, don't come nonsense! ”

Lu Gongzi rolled his eyes disappreciatively, but he showed his attitude: "So what? Anyway, I'm not going to sit still! Once he successfully implements the ticket salt law, my Lu family will definitely bear the brunt! ”

"Master Lu, this Lin Lei Gong is different from Dong Wei and Yan Maoqing, and his backstage is very hard, we should think about it in the long run!" Wang Yuanwai earnestly persuaded.

"As far as I know, Lin Haoran has a large share in the United Business Group, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to buy, and this person is really difficult to deal with." Xu Yuanwai looked worried.

Lu Yun made a movement to wipe his neck, and said murderously: "It's really not good, let's just ......"

When Weng Yuanwai saw Lu Gongzi's move, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately stopped him: "Lu Gongzi, this joke can't be made!" ”

Although Xu Yuanwai had known that this Lu Gongzi was lawless, seeing that he had such a thought, his eyes looked at this young and vigorous young brother with complicated eyes.

The Lu family prospered with Lu Bing, and Lu Bing's two sons Lu Yi and Lu Wei were all given official shades, among which Lu Yi served as the secretary of Beizhen in the capital.

Not to mention that the Lu family is not as good as before, even when Lu Bing is still alive, this murder of Qin Cha is also a big crime.

If you have no choice but to do so, you must not use this kind of means, otherwise it will only make things worse, and even invite catastrophe.

Lu Gongzi was about to declare that he was not joking, but Shen Yuanwai next to him pulled his clothes, and glared at him and reproached: "Lu Gongzi, are you confused?" Woe to the mouth! ”

The Shen family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and most of their children are in business, but with last year's champion Lang recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, they got a cheap champion child, which greatly improved the status of their Shen family.

The Lu family and the Shen family had a close relationship, and when they heard Shen Yuanwai's kind reminder, Lu Gongzi knew that he had just said something that he shouldn't have said.

Naturally, he would not take the initiative to admit his mistake, but threw the question back and said: "Then you tell me, now that people are determined to go to Yangzhou to implement the new salt law, what do you say?" ”

When Shen Yuanwai and the others heard this question, they also had a big headache, so they turned their heads to look at Weng Yuanwai.

Weng Yuanwai knew that things were tricky, and said honestly: "Now the pattern is uncertain, let's wait and see what happens!" ”

The corners of Lu Gongzi's mouth pursed with disdain, and he said disapprerovingly: "Wait and see? My uncle taught me many times in the past not to avoid things when they come aside, otherwise they will only get worse. ”

Although Shen Yuanwai didn't like Lu Gongzi's temperament of being afraid of the world, he had to admit that there was some truth in what he said, so he couldn't help but look at Weng Yuanwai.

Weng Yuanwai sighed secretly in his heart, and he told all the plans in his heart: "President Chen has sent a letter a few days ago, and he will return to Yangzhou in the near future!" This salt is related to the interests of all parties, even if we want to act, we must also pull them together. After a pause, he said schemingly: "If something happens, we can carry it together, which will greatly reduce the risk we have to bear!" ”

"Yes, we can't have something to do, we have to pull them to deal with Lin Haoran together!" Wang Yuanwai immediately agreed with the authentic way.

Shen Yuanwai and the others exchanged glances, nodded silently, and approved this resolution.

Huai salt is not eaten by their family alone, in addition to the Jin merchants, there are also Hui merchants, as well as some nobles hiding in the shadows.

Now facing Lin Haoran, who has a great background, they certainly want to solve Lin Haoran's trouble, but the wisest thing to do is to contact all parties to act together.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Lu Gongzi looked at the relieved appearance of Wang Yuanwai and the others, but his face was very gloomy, and he deeply despised these people in his heart.

Although Weng Yuanwai saw that Lu Gongzi was not satisfied with this plan, he chose to deliberately ignore this perverse son-in-law, and smiled at the others and said: "Since everyone has no opinion, then we will make up our minds, let's see what kind of plan Chen Boren will come up with first, and then we will determine the next step." ”

"Good!"

Shen Yuanwai and the others exchanged glances and expressed their agreement.

It's not that they support Chen Boren or trust the Huaiyan Chamber of Commerce, but they hope that this organization with different intentions can play some role again.

Yan Maoqing the year before last, Dong Wei last year, and Lin Haoran now. Although the first two are also menacing, these two are greedy, just feed them, I just hope that this Lin Wenkui will not go too far.

Everyone set the tone, that is, they decided to continue to wait, wait for other forces to solve Lin Haoran, or wait until Chen Boren returned to discuss countermeasures.

"You all wait, see what the master means!"

Lu Gongzi did not choose to say anything, but looked at his companions present indifferently, but he had already made up his mind in his heart.

When the news of Lin Haoran's arrival came out in the form of an official document, the entire Yangzhou City became panicked, and someone was planning to deal with Lin Haoran.

This place of prosperity has become a dangerous situation for Lin Haoran.
