Wang Rui was forced by everyone's eyes, and he also coaxed down, and said: "I just said it, but I didn't say I wanted to do it." ”

"It's better not to think like that!" Wu Qing said solemnly: "Five surnames and seven hopes, which one is not powerful?" If Li Mu could have killed him, they would have killed him a long time ago. He couldn't kill him before, and now he can't kill him, have you forgotten who his mother is? ”

"This ......" Wang Rui's face changed, and he forgot that Li Mu still had an old lady who was not easy to mess with. Like the five surnames and seven sects, the business of the Jiangnan Wang clan also depends on the heir hall to revitalize, especially the goods they bring in from the sea, there is no sales channel for the heir hall, waiting to rot in the port.

Thinking of Mrs. Lu's terrible place, Wang Rui couldn't help but tremble a little. Wang Rui, the eldest son of the Langya Wang family, is also thirty-seven or eighteen years old this year, he and Mrs. Lu are the same age, and he has also met Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng in Luoyang.

If it had just been said, Mrs. Lu had heard it with her own ears. Wang Rui's mind couldn't help but think of the picture of him being tied to a stone and thrown into the Tongji Canal.

"Then what do you say...... Wang Rui said sullenly, not daring to make a mistake.

"In my opinion," Gu Sizhi said loudly: "Or find a way to find out what is the purpose of Li Mu's visit to Yangzhou this time?" If he wants to cut our foundation, then he can't say, the fish die and the net will be broken, but if he doesn't want much, he can still talk, we should endure it......"

Wang Rui frowned slightly, took over the conversation, and said: "I understand what Uncle Shi meant, I summoned everyone here today, not to discuss how to deal with Li Mu, but to discuss how much to share!" From the beginning, you were planning to break the bank and avoid disaster, didn't you? ”

Gu Sizhi did not deny it, and said: "The matter has come to this point, is there any better way?" You can also see the attitude of the Lanling Xiao clan, they have completely fallen to Li Mu! If we can be ironclad, maybe we can still think of a way, I will say the ugly words to my face, everyone here, what is in your heart, let's talk about it! ”

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands: "What is this called, are we still here wrong?" ”

Gu Sizhi sneered and said, "Don't you hear about the cement factory?" In the face of interests, the Taiyuan Wang family can sell other gate valves, and finally get the greatest benefits. Today, in the face of interests, who knows which one will not be betrayed? No one should say it so nicely, today the old man summoned you, just to tell everyone, one is prosperous, one is lost, whether it is good or bad, everyone bears it together! No one wants to spend time, if you move that thought, don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

Gu Sizhi's words were loud, and the meaning was very clear. He is warning everyone that no one should learn from the Taiyuan Wang clan and rely on betraying others to get to the top. The situation he wants is that Jiangnan still keeps the original forces unchanged, there are benefits, everyone gains together, and everyone bears the disadvantages.

It seems to be a compromise solution, but it has not been supported by everyone. There is no other reason than selfishness. The matter of the cement factory, who is not jealous of the benefits that Taiyuan Wang's family has obtained? Li Mu's temper has been figured out by everyone, he will not treat his own people badly, who can get closer first, even if there is a disadvantage in the end, this disadvantage will not fall on him. The situation that the Gu family wants is that they are afraid that other people's families will take the lead. The Gu family is now the most prominent Jiangnan family in addition to the Lanling Xiao family, ranking in the top three, he wants to keep his position, but don't forget, there are more than a dozen families who covet this position.

Gu Sizhi saw that everyone was silent, so he guessed what everyone was thinking. He sighed and said in his heart, just like that, do you still want to resist Li Mu? It's just wishful thinking!

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Gu Sizhi also accepted his fate, and said: "Then let's rely on our abilities, I hope that in the coming year, we can still get together ......" Saying that, he lifted a glass of wine and said, "Respect to you." ”

Then everyone picked up their glasses, and without explaining much, they raised their heads and drank a glass of wine.

No one ate the food, and when they finished drinking, they all went back.

……

Li Mu's boat arrived in Yangzhou in the evening of the next day, and he could slow down, and it was only dusk that it would have arrived, otherwise he would have arrived in the middle of the river in the evening.

Li Mu deliberately kept a low profile, but he was afraid of someone with a heart. The wharf was crowded with people, and there were many people from the Twelve Wang clans, and everyone wanted to get close to Li Mu first and take the first place. Although it is faster, no one can compare to the Lanling Xiao family. But in Yangzhou, the power of the Lanling Xiao clan is not outstanding, and none of the big deals in Yangzhou port are Lanling Xiao's, there is only one shipyard, which barely holds up the scene, but even this shipyard is not the largest in Yangzhou. The largest shipyard in Yangzhou is controlled by the Zhu family.

The stewards of various families came to ask for peace, but they were stopped by Li Chongyi on the grounds that Hou Ye's boat and car had stopped. The boat stopped at the port, but Li Mu, Jin Chen, and Wei Yingluo had already changed into the clothes of ordinary people and went ashore in a small boat.

Li Chongyi originally wanted to protect Li Mu and go with him, but how could Li Mu let him go? He is so big that he walks on the road like a flagpole, and it is difficult to think about it at first glance. Safety issues, after Jin Chen showed his kung fu on the Holy Flame Order, Li Chongyi was also relieved, as far as kung fu was concerned, Jin Chen's level was not much weaker than Dugu Jiu. It's just that in terms of fighting skills, Jin Chen is much weaker than Dugu Jiu. But it's more than enough to deal with street gangsters.

Li Mu made an appointment with Li Chongyi to meet at the Yuelai Inn in Yangzhou at noon tomorrow. Yuelai Inn is also an inn where Jinyi Wei stayed when he stood in front of him. This inn is not very large, on the surface it is a shop opened by a merchant surnamed Sun, but in fact it is the property of Jihetang, which can be regarded as a liaison base.

Mrs. Lu had already told Li Mu the secret of the heir hall without reservation. After the code, this place was taken over by Li Mu.

Li Mu took the two ladies to settle down in the inn, and the informant of the Jihetang also told the preparations made by each family to welcome Li Mu for the first time. If there were people at yesterday's dinner, they would have found a terrible thing, that is, the person who reported it was able to retell yesterday's conversation as it was. It can be seen that the Jihetang has deeply infiltrated the major families, and at yesterday's dinner, there was even a detailed work of the Jihetang.

"Langya Wang Clan-" Li Mu sneered, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. A family that is gradually declining is not worth Li Mu's attention. His mind is only on the two families now. One is the Zhu family who has mastered shipbuilding technology, and the other is the Gu family who has a deep mind, Gu Sizhi's approach is selfish in the eyes of many people, but only Li Mu knows that he is not such a person, his choice is that he wants to keep the foundation of the Jiangnan Wang clan, the foundation of existence, and if Li Mu is allowed to divide down, after a few generations of the Jiangnan Wang clan, it is not necessary that there will be a few left.
