The Li family's manor is twenty miles outside Jiangyuan City, and the owner's name is Li Yang, who is a descendant of the Li family in Taiyuan City, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Since accepting this concubine in Jiangyuan City, Li Yang built this manor and began to buy his own property here, and over a period of time, with the help of the power of his Li family, the industry naturally grew stronger and stronger.

After tasting the sweetness, Li Yang was naturally unwilling to give up, and his domineering surname began to be revealed, and most of the business had the taste of ingenuity and grabbing, and the local forces in Jiang Yuancheng also dared to be angry and dare not speak out about these.

For the Shen family, Li Yang has coveted it for a long time, knowing that the Shen family has a big mineral vein and is worth a lot of money, but the Shen family is now one of the two major forces in Jiang Yuancheng after all, and it is tied with the Yang family, and Li Yang does not dare to make too much of it. This time, as his ambitions grew bigger and bigger, Li Yang finally couldn't hold it back.

"Driving"

Shen Hongtian and the others rode their horses and galloped, and finally arrived at the Li family's manor half an hour later, but before they could enter, they were stopped by a group of guards with knives.

"Who's who? Stop!" shouted as the guard stepped forward, murderous.

"Shen Hongtian of the Shen family, I want to see Li Gongzi if I have something, and I hope to report it. Shen Hongtian said loudly.

"My son-in-law is resting and is gone. The guard didn't think about it, and said directly.

"What kind of rest? when is this, your house" Shen Qing saw the other party prevaricating, and immediately said angrily, but before he finished speaking, Shen Hongtian had already stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Please go and tell me, just say that Shen Hongtian has something important to see, and your son-in-law should not refuse. Shen Hongtian continued.

The guard frowned, finally agreed, and turned and walked in.

"Alright, go in, my master is waiting for you in the living room. After a while, the guard walked out and said to Shen Hongtian.

"Good. ”

Shen Hongtian nodded, turned over and dismounted, and walked in with the group.

Li Yang is the son of a big family, and he has made a lot of money in Jiangyuan City, the manor is naturally magnificent, the scale is grand, Shen Hongtian and his party entered the living room, the precious carpet was paved, although it was already deep winter, but it was warm as spring inside.

When the group entered the living room, Li Yang was lazily lying on a mahogany carved dragon armchair, and two pretty maids stood behind him, pinching their shoulders.

Seeing the group coming, Li Yang didn't mean to get up to greet him, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, pretending not to see each other.

"Shen Hongtian of the Shen family has seen Li Gongzi. ”

With the other party looking like this, Shen Hongtian also had to salute first and bow his hand.

"Hmm, it turned out to be the head of the Shen family, and he was disappointed. Li Yang slowly opened his eyes at this time, saying that he was not welcome, but his body did not move.

"Is there something wrong with the head of the Shen family?" Li Yang said lightly.

"That's right, yesterday it was said that my Shen family had a batch of purple smoke stones shipped out of Jiangyuan City and was going to be sent to Taibai City, but today someone came to report it, saying that it was detained by your family, so I came here to verify it. Shen Hongtian said.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Yang said in surprise.

"Childe doesn't know?" Shen Hongtian frowned.

"I really don't know, so let's do it, don't worry, wait for me to ask. Li Yang waved his hand, summoned a small servant, and commanded in a low voice.

After a while, an old man walked in, with a gloomy face, high cheekbones, and a pair of dead fish-like eyes, dull and unfocused, it was the Li family's chief butler, Li Yuan.

"Steward Li, the head of the Shen family just said that my Li family withheld a batch of purple smoke stones from them, but is there such a thing?" Li Yang asked.

"Hui Gongzi, I don't know. Li Yuan said.

"Hmm, then it is estimated that the Shen family master made a mistake, right?" Li Yang turned his head and smiled at Shen Hongtian.

"Hmph, what kind of garlic is pretending, it's obviously your people, so many people can see it clearly, don't you dare to do it?" One person couldn't help but shouted angrily, and said that it was the batch of purple smoke stones he escorted.

"A word of advice, this is not your Shen family, pay attention to what you say, if you are framed and slandered, you can't afford this responsibility. Li Yuan sneered.

"You" everyone was furious, but they didn't expect the other party to be shameless to this point.

"Hey"

Shen Hongtian sighed, shook his head slowly, and then waved his big hand, and a piece of light purple jade with sharp edges and glittering magnificent luster suddenly appeared in his hand.

A moment later, a sky-high purple light suddenly rose from a place in the manor, which was particularly dazzling.

"It seems that those batches are in this place, why should Li Gongzi quibble?" Shen Hongtian said lightly.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Li Yang didn't have much shame, just smiled and said, "Okay, I let people deduct it." ”

"Why?"

"The reason has been said before, I really need a batch of purple smoke stones, why don't you send a favor from the Shen family master?" Li Yang said lightly.

"I'm sorry, this batch of purple smoke stones is equally important to our Shen family, and if we want to send it to Taibai King City, we can't delay it for a moment. ”

"Then let's do it, how about I pay you 100,000 taels of silver and sell this batch of purple smoke stones to me? Anyway, you always have to trade, who is not a deal?" Li Yang said with a smile.

"It's embarrassing for you to say it, this batch of purple smoke stone is enough for 10,000 catties, and it will cost millions of taels of silver, 100,000 taels, do you think it's pig iron?" Shen Qing said angrily.

"It's true that the price given by Childe is indeed too low. Moreover, this is an important transaction for our Shen family, and money is secondary, and the main thing is that we can't lose our trust. Shen Hongtian said.

"It's just a batch of purple smoke stones, it's worth it for the Shen family master? Our Li family has just arrived, don't you Shen family even want to give this face?" Li Yuan sneered.

"Steward Li said seriously, it's not that he doesn't want to give, but this time, it won't work. ”

"Do you know what I want this purple smoke stone for?" Li Yang asked suddenly.

"I don't know. ”

"I want to ask someone to make a good jade and give it to my grandfather as a gift, if it is done, it will naturally have a share of the credit of your Shen family. ”

"Then let's do it, Li Gongzi will return this batch of purple smoke stones to us first, and afterwards, I will order someone to send a thousand taels of purple smoke stones, how about it?" asked Shen Hongtian.

"I'm sorry, my grandfather's birthday is approaching, and I don't have time to delay. Li Yang said with a smile.

"Please don't embarrass us, this business is very important to us, if we lose it, we can't afford this responsibility. Shen Hongtian's eyebrows trembled, obviously forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

"That's your business. Li Yang laughed, not caring about their attitudes at all.

"What nonsense, I see that you are clearly unwilling to return this batch of purple smoke stones. We only want to ask, do you pay back this purple smoke stone, or not!" Shen Qing shouted angrily.
