In Yangzhou City, salt merchants seem to be celebrities now, and their every move will be tracked by the paparazzi of the Ming Dynasty at any time, and after that, their news will be spread all over Yangzhou City in the first time.

However, on this day, the good deeds in Yangzhou City found that outside the Yanzhen Building, where the salt merchants gathered, the guards sent out by the salt merchants were densely protected, and no idle people were allowed to approach at all.

And today's Yanzhen Building has been completely encircled by the Qi family, and Qi Chun'an stood at the top of the stairs and personally greeted every salt merchant who came. And those salt merchants who received the invitation did not pull any of them, and all of them attended. Of course, although they still looked very polite on the surface when they faced Qi Chun'an, the expressions on their faces always looked a little unnatural.

Qi Chun'an knows that at the banquet later, there will definitely be some salt merchants who will embarrass their own Qi family.

As expected, when all the salt merchants drank a glass of wine, before some slow salt merchants put down their glasses, they heard someone asking: "This time our colleagues in Yangzhou salt industry suffered a catastrophe, today we are here, should you pray for us to give us an explanation!" ”

All the salt merchants looked at the person who spoke, his name was Guo Zeng'an, and among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, he was a medium-sized salt merchant. However, he was also a vassal of the Lin family, one of the four major salt merchants in Yangzhou. And Guo Zeng'an's attack, all the discerning people present can also see it, in fact, it was the Lin family who instructed Guo Zeng'an to make trouble behind his back.

But Qi Chun'an was not moved by Guo Zeng'an's trouble. He still kept a smile and said: "This catastrophe in Henan, our Qi family has also suffered a lot of losses, Brother Zeng An can't blame our Qi family." ”

Although Qi Chun'an still maintained a good demeanor when answering, in the ears of the observers, from the words of these two people, there were actually sparks.

"Why doesn't it matter? Otherwise, hand over the royal secret of your Qi family, and let us all hear what he has to say. Guo Zeng'an is still unrelenting.

"To tell the truth, the king's shopkeeper's farewell without saying goodbye is indeed suspicious. But here is an oath, if there is a person surnamed Qi in the Qi family who assassinates Wu Shoubei, then let all the people in our Qi family not die well and cut off their children and grandchildren. ”

Hearing Qi Chun'an make such a poisonous oath, some salt merchants on the side also began to waver a little.

But Guo Zeng'an still danced his poisonous tongue and said: "How do we know that some people's swear is true or false, maybe some people's swear is like a fart." ”

But before Qi Chun'an could sneer at him, a burst of insults suddenly came from behind Qi Chun'an. It was one of Qi Chun'an's nephews who made this sound. He said, "You nun raised a fart only when you were raised, maybe someone is deliberately planting it." ”

This scolded very badly, because Guo Zeng'an's mother turned out to be a nun. Anyway, this nun weishenme will still give birth to a layman, and everyone can make up for it, but these words did reveal Guo Zeng'an's scars in a solid manner.

But before Guo Zeng'an could get angry, Qi Chun'an turned around and slapped his nephew, and then scolded: "Is there a place for you to talk here?" Get the hell out of here. Qi Chun'an's nephew could only cover his face and leave in a huff.

In fact, Qi Chun'an knew that Wang Mi's disappearance was indeed a big loophole in his Qi family, so before today's party, Qi Chun'an had already arranged for his nephew to be prepared. And now, this nephew of Qi Chun'an has completed his mission and can go home.

was interrupted like this, and the scene was a little deserted. So Qi Chun'an bowed his hand to the other three family heads and said: "The three old-timers, the little nephew's family has suffered misfortune, and I thought that my colleagues in the salt industry would work together to overcome this difficult situation in front of them. But today, the little nephew was inexplicably blamed. The little nephew here does not argue, and the little nephew suffers some grievances. However, I hope that the three seniors will come up with a way as soon as possible, so as not to let the situation in Henan continue to erode. ”

Qi Chun'an's words are very powerful. He avoided the weak points of the Qi family and took the initiative of the words into his own hands. Moreover, he also limited the scope of the discussion to the four largest salt merchants, and prevented other small and medium-sized salt merchants from speaking, so as to avoid too many people.

But how could Qi Chun'an's wishful thinking be hidden from those three treacherous and cunning salt merchants. The rest of the people are okay, the Lin family is ranked second among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and they have always been below the Qi family. And this opportunity made the head of the Lin family find an opportunity to get rid of being the second child.

So the head of the Lin family said, "Virtuous nephew, what you said is wrong. Although Fang Cai Xiao Guo's words are a little unpleasant, it is also common sense for him to let the king of your Qi family, the shopkeeper of the Qi family, explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly. Otherwise, we don't know the cause of this incident, and how can we solve the problem in Henan? ”

In the understated words of the head of the Lin family, the topic was pulled back again.

Qi Chun'an scolded secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he still had a hand to prepare, so Qi Chun'an seemed to hesitate and said: "Since Lin Lao said so, the little nephew will also reveal a message to everyone." The whereabouts of this king's shopkeeper, our prayer family already has some eyebrows. Before today's meeting, our prayer family has also sent people out, and this time, we must catch the king's shopkeeper and his family. But the little nephew is also here to ask you, don't spread the news. ”

Qi Chun'an's words immediately caused a commotion among the salt merchants, who did not expect Qi Chun'an to say such a paragraph. And now, those salt merchants can no longer force the Qi family, because the solution of this problem has to wait until the Qi family captures Wang Mi to deal with it.

And at this time, among the three family heads, the head of the Teng family, who was more similar to the Qi family, played a round: "Today, Chun'an's virtuous nephew gathered our salt industry colleagues here, and it is not for us to quarrel." However, the situation in Henan, we also have to come up with a case in advance. Otherwise, even if that Wu Shoubei is willing to talk to us, we won't be able to talk to him. ”

The words of the head of the Teng family caused the salt merchants present to nod unanimously. The head of the Lin family could only reluctantly let go of the topic just now. However, the head of the Lin family was not ready to let go of Qi Chun'an.

"It's definitely not okay to talk to Wu Shoubei in this empty talk, and if you send some gold and silver women, all of us here can also make it up. But now, even if you don't talk about who assassinated Wu Shoubei, then the reason why Wu Shoubei and our Yangzhou salt merchants were the first to fight each other is at least because your prayer family cut off Wu Shoubei's salt goods. Here, the old man will be a villain first, and then ask his nephew: How do you Qi family compensate for the loss of Wu Garrison? ”
