"Innocent!"

Old man Zhang said: "Do you know that Su picks up the goods at any time, if he doesn't come for a year, you have to keep your goods for a year?" What about you if you don't come for ten years? We are in business, only the sale of goods is money, it will always be a trouble to stay in your own hands, if you sell it, Su Ren suddenly comes to pick up the goods, and the higher compensation is enough for you to go bankrupt! ”

"This Su Ren is going to kill us all! In the contract he signed with me, it was written that he wanted 10,000 square meters of wood, and my warehouse was full of piles, all for him, and if he didn't come, I wouldn't be able to do business. ”

"Yes! I'm the same, several warehouses are full, and I don't dare to sell them, the spices are troublesome to preserve, and there will be losses if I delay a little! ”

"I've already lost! Hundreds of thousands of catties of various medicinal materials are piled together, and yesterday I saw that the warehouse was too confused to confuse Coptis chinensis and Angelica dahurica, and I couldn't tell the difference! ”

Everyone began to complain, although they were all losing, no one could cope with Su Ren's calculations.

Shopkeeper Liu of the cloth shop took the tea bowl in Old Man Zhang's hand: "Old man, you are well-informed, see if there is any way to solve this matter?" ”

Old man Zhang shook his head: "Su Ren is considered to be popular with the people, and there is the help of the Taishou Mansion, this matter is to blame us for being too greedy, Zhuo Wangsun has never cooperated with Su Ren, nor has he done business with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and there is no problem with his shop." ”

"Humph!" Shopkeeper Liu snorted coldly: "Why does the old gentleman mention that guy now, the surname Zhuo is no longer in the same group as us!" ”

Yes! But anyone who used to be in the same group with him did not be with him at a special moment. Whether it's a good time or a bad time, you'll be hated as long as you're not there. Not to mention that Shopkeeper Liu has such a mind, the other people behind him also have the same mind as him.

Old man Zhang sighed slightly: "Hey! Don't say it, but this time Zhuo Wangsun's vision is good, except for him, all the other businessmen in Chengdu have fallen into Su Ren's hand. ”

"So what to do?"

"What else can I do? Talk! ”

"Talk?!" Shopkeeper Liu looked at Old Man Zhang puzzled: "Then can Su Ren talk to us?" ”

"If you can't talk about it, you have to talk about it! If not, you know what the fate of our people will be! ”

Zhuo Wangsun was the first person to come to the Governor's Mansion after learning of Tang Meng's assassination. In fact, no one else came. Su Ren's movements were too fast, first he sent people to scare Tang Meng, and then pulled out all the spies around Tang Meng in Chengdu overnight. Just these two hands made Tang Meng's heart palpitate, not to mention the businessmen who were ready to defect to Tang Meng, their news was also very well-informed.

Zhuo Wangsun looked at Tang Meng, who was a little sluggish: "Duwei, are you really not ready to take revenge?" ”

Tang Meng didn't speak, since the incident that day, Tang Meng has been bedridden, eating and sleeping all in bed. He is also reluctant to talk to people, even the housekeeper.

Zhuo Wangsun was a little anxious: "Du Wei, we haven't lost yet, you are the Du Lieutenant of Shu County, Su Ren is just a school captain, as long as you make up your mind, I will definitely support you, even if you go bankrupt!" Say it! ”

"How much property do you have?" Tang Meng suddenly turned his face and looked at Zhuo Wangsun: "Can you compare to the Shangshu Chamber of Commerce?" Can you compare those businessmen in Chengdu? ”

Zhuo Wangsun stopped talking. Their Zhuo family is rich, but it has not reached the point where it is rich and rivals the country.

Tang Meng smiled slightly, and turned his head again.

"Even if it's not good, you have to go out and fight him, it's all for you!"

"Really?" When Tang Meng heard this, he glanced at Zhuo Wangsun: "Don't use such a statement, all of us know who it is for." ”

"For whom? Could it be that the lieutenant is really ready to surrender to Su Ren? ”

"What do you say?" Tang Meng said lightly: "The time is different, we were able to swallow our anger under Meng Ji back then, why can't we be under Su Ren now?" What's more, Meng Ji also lost to Su Ren, and he lost very completely, at least it proves that Su Ren is stronger than Meng Ji! ”

"That's what you think, I don't think so!"

Tang Meng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In that case, take care of Shopkeeper Zhuo!" Butler, send-off! ”

Coming out of Tang Meng's house, Zhuo Wangsun glanced back, spat on the ground fiercely, and after only saying two words, he got into his carriage and told the groom to go home. The streets of Chengdu are more lively than before, all the people of the businessmen's family will be talked about when they walk on the road, during this time, the struggle between the Chengdu businessmen and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has become a topic of discussion among the people of Chengdu.

Zhuo Wangsun's carriage had just entered the street, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Look, that's the carriage of the Zhuo family, have you heard, Captain Su courted for Mr. Sima, but was rejected by King Zhuo, and the Captain Su was unhappy, and he was ready to take the Zhuo family!"

"What kind of courtship, obviously Zhuo Wangsun wants to marry his widowed daughter to Mr. Sima, think about it, can a person like Mr. Sima fall in love with a widow?"

"It's hard to say, I've seen that woman once, and she really looks good!"

"Yes, it's a pity, it's a widow, Mr. Sima is talented, can he marry a widow? In my opinion, it must be Zhuo Wangsun who wanted to cling to Captain Su, but was rejected by others, and felt that his face was not good-looking. ”

"It's possible! Hehe, it's ridiculous that this Zhuo Wangsun is really beyond his strength, and he wants to use his daughter to win over Captain Su! ”

"Shangjia is like this, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is in full swing, and naturally everyone yearns for it, and the Zhuo family is no exception!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the carriage of the Zhuo family is here!"

Zhuo Wangsun, who was sitting in the car, heard everything here clearly, and he didn't say a word with a dark face. He was too lazy to reason with these ignorant Chengdu people, he could think of it, these must have been arranged by Su Ren and deliberately released rumors, and it was because of this that he was even more angry. Su Ren is going to trample the reputation of the Zhuo family to death!

The carriage galloped all the way, and it was already past noon when he returned to Zhuo's house. Zhuo Wangsun plunged into his study, pacing back and forth, he is now alone, and he must think of a perfect solution. It is best to defeat Su Ren in one fell swoop, otherwise he will be very passive. Thinking about it, it seemed that Su Ren didn't have anything in his hand, and Zhuo Wangsun's brows furrowed even tighter.

Chengdu businessmen left Su Mansion one after another, they understood Su Ren's purpose, and it was time for them to make their own choice. There are only two paths in front of them, first, surrender to Su Ren and wait for Su Ren to adopt himself and join the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce. Second, he and Su Renyu broke the net, and worked hard to fight. Come to think of it, it seems that that road is not easy to walk.

Early the next morning, the shopkeeper Liu of the cloth shop looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time, and then went out depressed. Mountains of cloth in the yard took up a large number of rooms, and even the corridors were piled to the brim. The guys in the shop are tidying up, taking out the cloth that has been in trouble and repairing it, or drying it, or repelling insects.

"Good shopkeeper!"

The guys along the way greeted Shopkeeper Liu, but Shopkeeper Liu had a straight face and just walked with his head down. I took my housekeeper all the way to Furong Lane, which is the gate of the Su Mansion. From a distance, I saw that a large group of people had gathered at the gate of the Su family, in addition to the shopkeeper and businessmen who came together a few days ago, there were also many ox carts carrying gifts.

Shopkeeper Liu sighed and walked into the middle of this group of businessmen. No one greeted him, and no one was happy at this time, and it was the most unwilling to bow to his enemy, but there was no way.

Shopkeeper Liu came to the door, and Hawking stood at the gate with a golden knife. Shopkeeper Liu stepped forward to give a salute: "It turned out to be Brother Huo, please let me know, Liu's cloth shop is visiting, please meet Captain Su." ”

Hawking snorted coldly: "My eldest brother said that he is not available." ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled, took out a large handful of copper coins from his arms, and handed them to Hawking. Hawking looked down, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "If you say it's not free, you're not free, my eldest brother doesn't want to see anyone today!" ”

Shopkeeper Liu was helpless, turned around and took out another handful from the butler's arms, and handed it to Hawking again. This one is a lot, at first glance, there are not a hundred but eighty, plus the one handed over just now, there is at least one hundred and fifty dollars, if it was placed in the past, it would be an astronomical amount for the Huo family. It's a pity that Hawking has seen the world and doesn't pay attention to more than a hundred dollars at all.

Flicked his wrist and re-stuffed it to Shopkeeper Liu: "Please don't move the little bully me at this point, my eldest brother said, if you want to enter this door, you don't have 10,000 yuan!" ”

"Ahh Ten thousand dollars? Someone began to say, "Isn't this a trick for us?" If you can't negotiate, won't this 10,000 dollars be spent in vain? ”

"Yes! This Su, the captain is too ......"

Shopkeeper Liu is very helpless, their fate is in the hands of others, even if they have to pay 100,000 yuan themselves. Turning around, he commanded the butler, who had a constipated look on his face. Shopkeeper Liu glared at him: "Don't go yet!" ”

The butler hurried out of the crowd.

When the housekeeper of the Liu family came back again, he had an extra silk in his hand. Shopkeeper Liu took it, opened it and took a look, and stuffed it to Hawking. Hawking didn't look at it, stuffed the silk silk into his arms, the expression on his face immediately became warm, revealing two plate teeth, and dodged the way: "Shopkeeper Liu, please inside, my eldest brother has been making tea and waiting for a long time!" ”

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, saluted Hawking, and stepped into the courtyard. Behind him, there was a shout from the crowd.

It was the first time that Shopkeeper Liu came to the courtyard of the Su family, and it was no different from the courtyard of ordinary Shu County people, except that the mulberry tree on the left side of the courtyard was exceptionally tall. Under the mulberry tree, a couple sat face to face and drank tea, leisurely and comfortable. Shopkeeper Liu glanced at it and recognized the two people. One is the main Su Ren, and the other is Old Man Zhang. Both of them were very happy to speak, and they both had smiles on their faces.

Su Ren looked up and saw Shopkeeper Liu, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Oh, I've been waiting for a long time, please hurry, Lao Huang, prepare a stool for Shopkeeper Liu!" ”
