As the three witnesses Qian Zhifeng, Qian Lingyun and Taishou Yang Zhouwei stood up, everyone immediately dispersed to both sides to reveal the empty lobby, and as for the Qian clan and the Qian family's many shopkeepers, they were divided into several piles and stood on one side.

Glancing at Qian Zhifeng and the others, Qian Susu set his eyes on the second brother Qian Sifang, and a smile that seemed to be a smile appeared on his rough face, and he opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, can you start?" ”

Seeing the strange smile of the third Qian Susu, Qian Sifang became more and more unable to figure out his details, but the matter has come to this point, Qian Sifang can only suppress all his doubts, and nodded in response: "Okay, start." ”

As Qian Sifang's words fell, Qian Jingchen, Qian Jingbo, Qian Bowei and other people who stood up to support him just now immediately stood behind him, as well as many grain and tea shopkeepers, who also chose Qian Sifang without any hesitation, and soon gathered twenty or thirty people, but Qian Susu was also less behind him, Qian Jingheng and other Qian clansmen, plus many casinos and Qinglou shopkeepers, did not need to be weak at all.

Seeing this scene, Qian Sifang's face turned cold. The Qian family is also a flourishing family as a century-old family, especially in the past 30 years, the business has spread to all walks of life and all parts of the world, and Qian Buwei has handed over some scattered small businesses to many clansmen, although these businesses are gathered together in fragments, they are also a not weak force, so Qian Sifang has sought their support but has a vague attitude, but he didn't expect to support the third child now, it seems that the third child has done a lot of hard work. With a sigh in his heart, Qian Sifang immediately sneered again, if you only have such a little means, you will lose today.

Glancing at each other, Qian Susu seemed to see what Qian Sifang was thinking, a smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled: "Second brother, your supporters don't think as much as the third brother!" ”

Qian Sifang heard the sarcasm of the third Qian Susu, and snorted coldly and ignored him, seeing this, Qian Susu smiled and didn't say anything more, but swept the lobby with cold eyes.

At this moment, in addition to the two groups of Qian Sifang and Qian Susu, there is also a group of people who are the forces of the fourth Qian Yuan, and they all set their eyes on Qian Yuan, waiting for him to decide. The other group is neutral, but the final victory depends on them, and it depends on who has the more clever means.

Under the gaze of everyone, the gray-robed old man sighed lightly and walked behind Qian Sifang, and a smile appeared on Qian Sifang's face. The old man Qian Rui, although he is a side branch of the Qian family, controls the largest cloth store of the Qian family, and is also a force that is not weak, and with Qian Rui's choice, there are five shopkeepers standing behind Qian Sifang with a clear banner.

Looking at Qian Susu, although Qian Sifang did not speak, the meaning could not be more obvious, now it is your turn. Haha smiled, Qian Susu said unconcernedly: "Old five." ”

When Qian Susu's words fell, Qian Shengwu, the fifth elder of the Qian family, stood up, looked at the second Qian Sifang for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, the fifth Qian Shengwu stood behind Qian Susu, and there were six or seven shopkeepers following him.

After the world was calmed, he expected that the saint would rely on the prosperity of Jiangnan to drive the prosperity of the world, of course, this is also the result of Qian Buwei and many Jiangnan clans working together. Therefore, Qian Buwei opened inns in major cities in the world, and all of them were named Jiangnan, and this inn became the foothold of many Jiangnan clans, and the business was extremely hot, and Lao Wuqian Shengwu was in charge of these inns.

Seeing that the fifth Qian Shengwu chose Qian Susu, Qian Sifang frowned slightly. The eight brothers of the Qian family, except for the sixth who is obsessed with Dandao, everyone else has a line of business, which is not a weak force, and it is the object of his struggle, but he didn't expect the fifth to choose the third. Although there was an accident, Qian Sifang was immediately relieved, none of the brothers could stay out of this battle for succession, they could only choose one person, but they didn't choose him Qian Quartet. Thinking of this, Qian Sifang chuckled lightly and asked with a smile: "Seventh, eighth, what about you?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lao Qiqian Yuanjie frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, Qian Yuanjie bowed down and saluted the second brother Qian Sifang, and then walked behind the third brother Qian Susu, and took away several shopkeepers.

Seeing Lao Qi Qian Yuanjie's eyes, Qian Sifang sensed that something was wrong, and after hearing what he said, his face immediately turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Lao Qi Qian Yuanjie liked fine wine at a young age, and his taste was tricky and he could distinguish the quality of wine in one bite. Winemaking requires grains, and Qian Yuanjie is indispensable to deal with the second Qian Sifang, but he chose Qian Susu, it seems that Qian Susu is higher.

stared at the seventh Qian Yuanjie coldly for a moment, Qian Sifang set his eyes on the eighth Qian Dehua, and said calmly: "The eighth." ”

The old eight Qian Dehua is the youngest son of Qian Buwei, who is quite fond of him, and the world has been set when he was born, and he is deeply affected by the scene of Jiangnan singing and dancing, and he likes poetry and poetry all day long. Therefore, Qian Susu did not have any hope for the old eight Qian Dehua, which was also the reason why he was angry that the old seventh Qian Yuanjie chose the third Qian Susu, if none of the eight brothers supported him, where would the face be? But to his surprise, the eighth Qian Dehua was silent for a moment and opened his mouth to say: "I support the second brother, the third brother, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, Qian Dehua walked behind Qian Sifang, but he never took over the family business at all, just alone.

As the eighth Qian Dehua made a choice, the Qian clan people who had not yet made a choice immediately decreased by half, but judging from the scene in front of him, the third Qian Susu obviously had the advantage, and the second Qian Sifang's face became more and more gloomy, but at this moment, the third Qian Susu smiled and shouted: "Uncle Nan." ”

Suddenly, two cold lights burst out in Qian Sifang's eyes, and he turned his head to stare at a burly old man. The old man's temples were white and his face was wrinkled, but his body bones were still tough, and there was a heroism in his solemnity.

Di Chennan, although he is not from the Qian family, but he is the life and death brother of the old man Qian Buwei, walking the world in the troubled times, Di Chennan has blocked countless assassinations for Qian Buwei, so he has a very special status in the Qian family, and many people have suspected that Di Chennan is in charge of the most mysterious hole in the Qian family. Therefore, if Di Chennan supports the third Qian Susu, although Qian Sifang still has some means, he is afraid that he will not be able to turn the tables.

Glancing coldly at the lobby, Di Chennan's gaze stayed on the boss Qian Lingyun for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "The old man supports the third child." ”

At this moment, many people in the Qian clan stared at Di Chennan in disbelief, just happy and sad. Although there were already speculations, but listening to Di Chennan himself, Qian Sifang still couldn't believe it, and subconsciously blurted out: "Uncle Nan? ”

Di Chennan did not answer Qian Sifang, but walked behind Qian Susu step by step, and every step seemed to step on Qian Sifang's heart, making his mind blank, and his face became more and more pale, and even beads of sweat the size of beans appeared.

Seeing the appearance of the second brother Qian Sifang, Qian Susu had a trace of pride on his face, he had endured it for ten years, and today he finally won the position of the head of the family in one fell swoop, how can he not be excited? Hehe laughed, Qian Susu opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qian Sifang never thought that he would lose to the third child, and his expression was gloomy for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, but his slightly rickety body no longer had the pride and ambition he had at the beginning, and just when Qian Sifang was thinking about what to do, a voice suddenly sounded, saying: "Lord Shen, the Metropolitan Governor of Huainan Province, Lord Chen, the Chinese scholar, and Lord Li, the head of the household department, have arrived." ”

Hearing that three important ministers of the court came to visit, everyone was stunned, especially the third Qian Susu. Qian Susu worked hard to gain the upper hand, and he was about to admit defeat than the second Qian Quartet and take over the Qian family, but at this critical juncture, what did they mean by coming? And for some reason, Qian Susu had a bad premonition. Taking a deep breath, Qian Susu suppressed all his doubts and went out.

There were a total of four people who came, the first two side by side were Shen Lan, the governor of Jiangnan Province, Chen Baihan, the head of the Chen family, followed by Li Tiannian, the son-in-law of the Qian family, and the last person was Zhou Chu.

Although the Qian family is one of the four great families and rich in the world, they do not have any official positions, so when they saw these important ministers of the court, Qian Susu immediately knelt down and bowed: "Grass people Qian Susu greets Shen Dadu, Chen Shilang and Li Shangshu." ”

Seeing that the Qian clan knelt on the ground, Chen Baihan took the lead to support Qian Susu and said, "Don't be like this, hurry up." After a pause, Chen Baihan said sadly: "I heard that Brother Qian is seriously ill, and the Holy Lord specially ordered the old minister to go out of Beijing to visit, but unfortunately the world made people not only fail to see the last of the old brother, but also took a step too late and failed to send Brother Qian a ride, the old man felt uneasy!" ”

Coming here today, Chen Baihan and Shen Lan were not dressed in official clothes but in civilian clothes, while Li Tiannian, as the son-in-law of the Qian family, did not wear filial piety clothes but had a white silk tied around his waist. stepped forward to pay the second child's money, and Li Tiannian said sadly: "Second brother, third brother, hurry up." Since getting the news that his father-in-law is critically ill, Tiannian is difficult to sleep, but the household affairs are heavy, and he can't get out for a while, and finally thanks to His Majesty's kindness, Weichen is specially allowed to visit, but I didn't expect to be a step late, and the son-in-law is ashamed! At the end of the words, Li Tiannian's solemn face left two lines of tears, and many people admired it.

Li Tiannian has been in charge of the household department for ten years, he is the real God of Wealth, and many clans in Jiangnan are trying their best to befriend him, so he can't be clearer about his temperament, and he has a straight face all day long as if everyone owes him money, but today he left tears, no wonder he can stand in the court for decades.

Different from everyone's thoughts, feeling Li Tiannian pinching his arm three times, Qian Sifang had a doubt, what did he mean by this, and what did he hint at himself? Although he couldn't do it, Qian Sifang followed Li Tiannian's words and said sadly: "Before my father left, I also missed the third sister and Li Shangshu very much, but my father knew that you were busy with official business, so he specially instructed you not to send you a letter, so as not to distract you from betraying the trust of the saint." After a pause at this, Qian Sifang knocked his head on the ground again, and bowed to Shen Lan and Chen Baihan: "The saint has all the opportunities, and he can also worry about his father's illness. ”

Hearing Qian Sifang's words, the brothers of the Qian family and the juniors immediately bowed and said: "The grass people thank you, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

At this moment, although Qian Susu had endless doubts, he could only knock his head down, and Zhou Chu, who was watching, showed a smile in his eyes, this is the general trend, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and the saint is really talented.
