Chapter 124: Background Comparison

Chen Zhuo's eyes were fierce, but he couldn't help it, he could only stare at Li Xiluan with fire, and then turned to Wei Qiao, who lowered his head and painted, his right hand was held on the chair, his heart was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth.

As soon as Li Xiluan's voice fell, everyone in the hall looked at each other, some looked worried, and some gloated.

"I support the Wei family!"

Suddenly, in the silence, Jiang You stood up, walked to the center, and said loudly.

Everyone was stunned, although Jiang You's fourth largest merchant in Jinling, although it was far from the real Big Three, his influence could not be ignored.

A smile flashed at the corner of Chu Shan's mouth, leaning on the chair, still not moving at all.

Chen Zhuo turned his head to look at Jiang You, sneered, but ignored it.

Jiang You didn't mean to look at the faces of the other two, he raised his head and hugged his fist at Li Xiluan, then looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, I think that today, we can support the Wei family, we can support the Chu family, but we can't support the Chen family!" I can't say it too clearly, but I ask you to think about it carefully, consider it carefully, and don't lose everything in the future regardless of the small profits in the future! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately buzzed and discussed. Because of Jiang You's words, in fact, they are also worried in everyone's hearts, and as soon as these words are clear, everyone can't help but be bored in their hearts.

The Wei family camp was silent, but the eyes that looked at Li Xiluan were quite surprised. It is no secret that the Wei and Jiang families are united, but Jiang You's strong support is almost overwhelming, which is completely unexpected to them!

The people who 'broke into the north' are a peculiar group, they have no leader, most of them are retail investors, and they have always been on whose side, and now after listening to Jiang You's words, although their faces were thoughtful, there was no trace of inclination.

The camp of the Chu family was quite friendly to Jiang You, and it seemed that Jiang You's sentence of 'you can also support the Chu family' had an effect, and many people nodded at him.

But in the Chen family, many shopkeepers' faces were gloomy. On the contrary, Chen Zhuo remained silent, just sneering disdainfully at the corners of his mouth, looking too lazy to take care of it.

Jiang You naturally didn't care about Chen Zhuo's sneer, and continued: "Everyone, Jinling ......"

"Brother Jiang." Before Jiang You finished speaking, Wei Qiao suddenly said with a smile.

As soon as Wei Qiao spoke, everyone's eyes turned. Even Chu Shan, who was half-asleep, opened his eyes and looked at it.

Wei Qiao stood still, smiled faintly, tore off the paper on the notebook and handed it to Jiang Youdao: "Brother Jiang, please hand this to the shopkeepers who supported the Chen family just now, I believe they will understand the righteousness." ”

Jiang You was stunned for a moment, walked over, took a look, suddenly smiled on his face, nodded at Wei Qiao, turned around and walked towards the shopkeeper who had just loudly supported the Chen family.

Wei Qiao's painting is nothing.

A big tiger confronts a sick wolf, and behind the big tiger, there is a healthy and strong wolf. And between the tiger and the sick wolf, there was a pack of wolves, which had no leader, and were much shorter and thinner than the sick wolf and the strong wolf, but their numbers were boundless.

They are all old foxes, and the meaning of Wei Qiao's painting is extremely obvious, and they will not be unable to understand it.

Jiang You glanced at Chen Zhuo with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and sent the painting over. However, Jiang You did some tricks, and gave them to the people next to the shouting shopkeepers, and there were no shouting shopkeepers.

These people's faces changed when they saw it, and then they immediately spread it, and they whispered from time to time.

In the eyes of others, it is the people who support the Chen family, and their attitudes have changed.

Soon, the painting was passed to Chen Zhuo's hands, Chen Zhuo looked at it seriously, suddenly snorted coldly, and was about to stand up. Jiang You suddenly waved his hand again and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to Jiang's words." Now Jinling, Wei, Chen, and Chu are all super families, and we can't compare to ten or twenty. If one of the dominant families can suppress the other two, then they can pinch any of us to death at will, and the current Chen family has this ability! I think I should continue to support the Wei family, as long as the Wei family is in the way, we can rest assured, otherwise once we have no one to shelter, it will be meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered! ”

As soon as Jiang You's words fell, everyone burst into discussions. Jiang You's words were too straightforward, but they went straight to the line of defense in people's hearts. Everyone was silent, and their eyes fell directly on Chen Zhuo, who represented the Chen family. Although everyone knew that he couldn't be the master at all, they still set their eyes on him, hoping that he would make an explanation, or even a promise.

Chen Zhuo's brows were completely cold, his eyes stared at Jiang You coldly, and his eyes were full of cold light.

The corners of Chu Shan's mouth hung up, and he smiled faintly.

Li Xiluan was high in the seat, his eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Wei Qiao smiled faintly, but his eyes looked at the staircase, and he didn't pay much attention to the argument here.

He was thinking, what kind of surprise would Chen Ting bring him?

"I support the Chen family, Jinling's recent fight has been too fierce, which is not conducive to the development of the Chamber of Commerce."

In the noise of the hall, behind Chen Zhuo, on a chair not far away, there was a faint sound.

Everyone fell silent.

- Xie Shopkeeper, Xie Long.

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to him, this person had a pivotal position in Jinling East, and he was a figure who was to be personally received by the head of the Chen family. His words fell, and in the noisy hall, a pin drop could be heard.

Wei Qiao's face was always pale, his gaze swept lightly on Xie Long's old and cold face, and then turned to Li Yuanfeng, who was not far from him.

Li Yuanfeng's influence among the entire neutral shopkeepers is extremely terrifying, if he can take the lead in supporting any family, the people who will follow him will definitely exceed anyone's imagination.

Li Yuanfeng frowned slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and he did not speak.

Jiang You looked at Xie Long and said with a smile: "Then Shopkeeper Xie means to support the Chen family's ascendancy?" ”

Xie Long glanced up at him Jiang You, and said lightly: "Your father is timid and afraid, the Jiang family could have risen like the Chu family, but it's a pity." ”

Jiang You's face changed slightly, and then he said coldly: "Shopkeeper Xie supports the Chen family's ascendancy, then Shopkeeper Xie knows that such a result will involve the entire Jinling cloth merchants, and the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Although Jiang You's words were not clear, everyone could hear them. In the future, once the Chen family takes the position, they will inevitably go all out to retaliate against the Wei family, although the current strength of the Wei family is not enough to compete, but the foundation laid by Master Wei is so strong that it is difficult for outsiders to imagine. At that time, the Wei family resisted desperately, the gods fought, and mortals suffered, and at that time it was not known how big waves Jinling would set off, and how many people would be involved.

The hall was cold again, and everyone's eyes were turning back and forth on Xie Long and Jiang You, and then on Li Xiluan, Chen Zhuo, and Chu Shan, after all, these three were the ones who really made the decision.

Shopkeeper Xie looked asleep, looked up at Jiang You, and then turned his face to look at Li Xiluan, who was indifferent, and said lightly: "Break and then stand, break early and stand early." ”

As soon as he spoke, suddenly there was a loud discussion in the hall.

First, they were worried about getting involved in the battle between the Wei and Chen families, and secondly, they were not sure whether the Wei family could withstand the Chen family, so everyone began to talk in a low voice, their faces were hesitant, and their eyes flickered.

Jiang You's eyes flashed with pride, and he said loudly: "Everyone, as long as you support the Wei family, we can all work together to maintain the stability of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, and everyone can do business with peace of mind, and don't worry about anything else." The Chen family can't help us! ”

Everyone frowned, hesitated again, and the discussion increased again.

Chen Zhuo sneered disdainfully, looked sideways at the middle-aged man behind him, and said in a low voice, "When is the eldest brother coming?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Wei Qiao, who was smiling lightly, and said in a low voice: "A stick of incense, it should be almost now." ”

Chen Zhuo nodded, leaned back in his chair, looked at Jiang You with cold eyes, and pursed his lips.

Chu Shan still sat there steadily, his eyes seemed to be squinting, as if he had not slept yet.

Xie Long looked up at Jiang You, did not speak again, hung his head, and closed his eyes.

When Wei Qiao saw it, he took out the rag from his arms and said to Jiang You, "Brother Jiang." ”

Jiang You was stunned again, walked over, received it in his hand, and wanted to ask, but his eyes lit up as soon as he pinch his hand. took a closer look at it in front of him, and then said in surprise: "Brother Wei, is this the new cloth of the Wei family?" ”

Wei Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Well, what does Brother Jiang think?" ”

Jiang You rubbed it vigorously, looked at it seriously, and then said loudly: "The eyes are bright and firm, the tentacles are smooth and soft, it is indeed a good cloth!" ”

Wei Qiao smiled faintly and raised his head behind him.

Jiang You immediately understood, turned his head with a smile and said loudly: "Everyone, this is the new cloth of the Wei family, you might as well compare it with the Chen family." ”

As he spoke, he handed the cloth in his hand to the shopkeeper on the right, who was naturally still the one who didn't coax the Chen family just now.

"Well, play the surname, greasy, don't fade, good cloth......" A shopkeeper raised the cloth and said loudly with shining eyes.

"Yes, the color is gorgeous, the color is uniform, it is indeed a good ......," the other shopkeeper took it, looked at it carefully, and said loudly.

"Well, the tentacle bullet is soft, smooth and comfortable, and it can indeed sell well...... and then a person took it, touched the tentacle, and said loudly.

After a few people talked, the crowd in the east suddenly became curious, and they all shouted to take it over.

Li Xiluan sat on the upper seat, his expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at Wei Qiao quietly.

If there is a good cloth in the family, Weiqiao will definitely tell her, but if she doesn't talk about it now, it means that this cloth is impossible to produce at all, in other words, Weiqiao is fooling people.

Li Xiluan knows, but others don't.

Jiang You looked at everyone's excited expressions, took the rag with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, walked up to Chen Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, do you want to take a look?" ”

Chen Zhuo's eyes were cold, and he suddenly leaned in and whispered, "We have already discovered that person." ”

Jiang You's body trembled, and then he smiled and said, "Since Brother Chen doesn't look at it, forget it." After speaking, he shouted to the people who were still discussing: "Everyone, Jiang Mou's words are from the bottom of his heart, and I hope everyone can seriously consider it, as long as the Wei family is still in the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, they will definitely boycott the Chen family with all their might." In this way, everyone doesn't have to worry about the Chen family's retaliation, after all, the Wei family is in the way. As long as the Wei family is still there, the Chen family can't do anything to us!"

Jiang You's words, every word is heart-wrenching, shopkeepers, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't make a decision for a while. Moreover, one of the family members of the Wei and Chen families did not open their mouths and the other had not yet arrived, and everyone was in an impetuous mood and waited secretly.

Liu Zhengxu, who was sitting in the southeast corner, put down the teacup lightly, looked at the various expressions of the 100 people in the hall, and then looked at Wei Qiao, who was always staring at the door, shook his head, and whispered to himself: "Merchants, you can never do without copper-smelling things." ”

Although Shao Yi couldn't afford to offend him, he nodded lightly, but he didn't think so.

'As long as it is a human being, who can live without this copper-smelling thing.' ’

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say much else, let's vote directly." Jiang You saw that everyone was hesitant and said loudly again.

Jiang You was extremely jealous of Chen Dashao in his heart, and he had the intention of taking advantage of him not yet to settle the matter. After all, this is also a five-five point, as long as the Wei family takes out one or two more things to shock everyone, in his mind, it is likely that he will really take down the chairman's throne.

"Yes, President, let's get started." Suddenly, on the Wei family's side, Duan Feng, who was not far behind Wei Qiao, suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Qiao Zhengyan and the two beside him also nodded, they were not clear about the Wei family's hole cards, and they also expected to win the chairman's throne in one fell swoop, saving them a lot of dreams at night.

Li Xiluan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a long time, he looked at Wei Qiao again, Wei Qiao pondered that the time was almost up, so he turned his gaze to the few seats next to Chen Zhuo.

He did this just to lay a mental foundation for the treasurers, and he didn't expect to really win the position of president in one fell swoop.

Chen Ting, if Master Chen could take it so easily, Jiang You wouldn't have to be so flustered and a little at a loss.

Li Xiluan nodded clearly, his eyes swept lightly below, staring at Chen Zhuo, and said in a cold voice: "Second Master Chen, can you be the master of the Chen family?" ”

Chen Zhuo was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, he felt that Li Xiluan was deliberately looking for him today, otherwise how could he hurt her?

"Hehe, Li will wait for a long time."

Chen Zhuo was just about to speak, and a few figures suddenly turned out at the staircase in the distance, and the leader was the eldest young master of the Chen family, it was Chen Ting, and he was naturally the one who spoke.

As Chen Ting walked over, whether it was on the left or right, many people stood up one after another, shouting: "Shopkeeper Chen is here." ”

Wei Qiao listened to the greetings one after another, and his heart flashed with surprise, Li Xiluan didn't have such a big appeal just now, and he didn't want this Chen Ting to be so popular.

Chen Ting was followed by two people, naturally Wang Feng and Lian Yuan, neither of them spoke, and glanced at the crowd with a faint expression.

Chen Ting walked over slowly, and Chen Zhuo immediately stood up and stood aside with a slight respect.

Chen Ting didn't sit down, but walked up to Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, how is it, I'm still keeping my promises, right?" ”

Wei Qiao also stood up, smiled faintly, and said, "Well, but I hope that Brother Chen can always keep his word." ”

Wei Qiao had something to say, and Chen Ting could also understand it, so he smiled and said, "I will definitely keep my promises, but I don't know if Brother Wei can also keep his promises?" ”

Wei Qiao's smile was also a little more, and he said, "If the Wei family loses, I will take my sister-in-law back to my hometown, if Brother Chen loses, ......."

"I will hand over all the Chen family's properties, and then leave Jinling with all the Chen family." Chen Ting then laughed.

Wei Qiao smiled, raised his hand, and said, "High-five as an oath!" ”

Chen Ting smiled, also raised his hand, and also slapped Wei Qiao's palm heavily, and the two said together, "One word is a certainty!" ”

Chen Zhuo watched the movements of the two, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that he was now far behind Wei Qiao, and Wei Qiao, who was extremely inconspicuous in his heart, unknowingly, made him a little unpredictable, and even looked up.

Chen Tingwei Qiao looked at each other and laughed, and after a long time, Chen Ting turned his head and hugged his fist at Li Xiluan, and said, "Shopkeeper Li, wait a long time." ”

Li Xiluan smiled and nodded lightly.

Chen Ting turned around again, looked at Chu Shan and hugged his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Chu, wait a long time!" ”

Chu Shan sat still and said with a smile: "Well, how about it, such an important matter, that old thing is not coming?" ”

Chen Ting smiled and said, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper Chu, my father is unwell, and then he will arrive." ”

Chu Shan smiled at him and nodded, then looked at Wei Qiao, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ting slowly walked towards his seat, but Wang Feng, who had been standing, had a strange look in his eyes.

On the guest table in the southeast corner, Liu Zhengxu and Shao Yi knew each other, but most of the people who came from this chamber of commerce were household officials, and occasionally there were Yushitai supervisors, and they were also of a very low rank.

Chen Ting glanced at him, followed his gaze, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Today is lively." ”

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, but he also smiled, he was just surprised, not afraid of anyone, smiled faintly at Chen Ting, and walked towards Liu Zhengxu and Shao Yi.

Lian Yu's expression was indifferent, his eyes swept sharply on Wei Qiao's face, raised his head slightly, and followed behind Wang Feng.

Since he saw Lian Yuan, Wei Qiao had already guessed Wang Feng's identity, but he didn't say hello, and Wang Feng didn't say anything about it, so he didn't need to compliment him. As for Lian Yuan, it's just a stranger who is a little more familiar.

Before Wang Feng walked to the table, Shao Yi suddenly jumped out, clasped his fists at Wang Feng and smiled, "Hehe, Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't want to see you here today." ”

Shao Yi is from the fourth grade, and Wang Feng is from the third grade, although Wang Feng is older, but the two are not subordinate to each other, and they are both court members who participate in the government, Shao Yi is not afraid of Wang Feng at all, and he knows that Wang Feng is simply a role in riding the wall in the court, and there is no real backer.

Now that Wang Feng has appeared as the opposite of the Wei family, Shao Yi decided to give Wang Feng a dismount today.

This is not to please Wei Qiao, and there is no need for him to please Wei Qiao. What I did today was not for Wei Qiao to see, but the people behind Wei Qiao. Shao Yi knows that many people are paying attention to everything today, what he is doing now, the people behind Wei Qiao will definitely know it clearly, what he does is for those people to see. Those people will definitely know what he meant, and naturally they will express it.

Otherwise, who will do things for them in the future?

Wang Feng was stunned, looking at Shao Yi's Buddha-like smile, and couldn't understand what he meant at all. He smiled indifferently and said, "What a coincidence, I saw Lord Shao and Lord Liu here." ”

Liu Zhengxu also stood up early and hugged his fists at Wang Feng. He is a senior official, and there is no need for him to deliberately show respect to Wang Feng.

Shao Yi's signature Maitreya Buddha smiled, his small eyes stared at Wang Feng like a poisonous snake, and he smiled, "Yes, I don't know if Lord Wang is here to cheer for the Chen family today?" ”

With this sentence, the hall, which was originally quite lively, fell silent again. Everyone's eyes turned to the two of them, their eyes flickering.

Jiang You looked at the movements of the two, his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "I didn't expect that the two families would come to the background so quickly." ’
