In the city of Yangzhou, Dongguan Street in the new city, which is directly connected to the Grand Canal Wharf, is one of the most prosperous streets in the city.

The Huizhen Building on Dongguan Street is the most luxurious restaurant in Yangzhou City, and the three-storey pavilion here is also the tallest building in Dongguan Street.

Today, the Huizhen Building, which is known for its high price, was chartered, and the five Western merchants jointly held a banquet in the Huizhen Building to thank Wang Qingwang who sacrificed himself to save others.

If it weren't for Wang Yuanwai who gave his daughter and family property to Lin, I am afraid that several of them would still be imprisoned in Shuicicang, and I don't know if they can come out alive.

This kind of righteous deed, which has only been seen in ancient books, deserves to be thanked with the grandest pomp.

In today's Huizhen Building, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, or drilling in the grass, all kinds of water and land treasures are served like money.

Wang Yuanwai sat on the main seat on the third floor, all he saw was the brightest smiling face, and all he heard was bottomless praise and praise.

The Western merchants, who were originally business rivals, are all respectful and respectful in front of them today.

In this regard, Wang Yuanwai had to admit that Lin Tailai was really a genius.

The matter of sacrificing a daughter for glory should have been poked in the backbone, ridiculed by people in various ways, and became a joke after tea and dinner in the city.

But now it is also an act of dedicating women, and after the guidance and packaging of Lin Daguan, he has become a hero of righteousness.

Enjoying the supreme glory, Wang Yuanwai felt that he was walking on the pinnacle of life.

I have lived for more than 40 years and experienced countless ups and downs, but I have never had such a scenery.

Wang Yuanwai couldn't help but think, if the scenery in front of him was not forcibly given by Lin Tailai, but came from his own hard work, it would be even better.

But Wang Yuanwai had just had this idea, and a new face beside him, others only thought it was Wang Yuanwai's entourage, and coughed heavily.

This sudden cough was full of tones from Suzhou, which brought Wang Yuanwai back to his senses from the fantasy he shouldn't have.

After sighing again, Wang Yuanwai had to start business, and stood up with a wine glass.

As the absolute protagonist today, Wang Yuanwai's every move is the focus, and after he stood up, others stopped talking and looked at Wang Yuanwai in unison.

Wang Yuanwai said loudly: "I am gathered with you today, in fact, there is one more thing, I hope you will sell me Wang Qing a face." ”

Those who can sit on the third floor today are all front-line figures in Yangzhou's business circles, especially the top 20 Western businessmen, who have basically arrived.

Immediately, I saw Wang Yuanwai wave his hand, and a servant led a middle-aged courtier to walk up from the corner of the stairs.

This middle-aged courtier was none other than Zheng Zhiyan, the leader of the Hui merchants and the theoretically largest salt merchant in Yangzhou City.

At this time, Zheng Yuanwai's face was ugly, he didn't want to come here at all, but he had to come.

And when the Western businessmen during the banquet saw Zheng Zhiyan, many people had a bad face.

A few days ago, Zheng Zhiyan was released alone and went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, while several Western merchants continued to be imprisoned.

As a result, it was believed by Western business forces that Zheng Zhiyan colluded with Lin and betrayed his business colleagues.

Then several Western businessmen joined forces and launched a high-end business war with the Zheng family that lasted for more than ten days.

For example, robbing each other's salt packets, setting fire to each other's pawnshops, ambushing and beating each other's family members, and so on.

Although the Zheng family also has Huizhou compatriots to help them, these fellow villagers are also full of complaints, feeling innocent and implicated, and at the same time feeling that Zheng Zhiyan is not kind, which causes Zheng Zhiyan's reputation among Huizhou businessmen to plummet.

Now that several Western merchants have been released, there is no point in this high-end business war, but for the sake of face, both sides are unwilling to relax first.

When the head of the Shanxi Guild Hall, who was highly respected in the Western merchants, saw Zheng Zhiyan, he asked Wang Yuanwai: "What does this mean?" ”

Wang Yuanwai said with a smile: "It was all a misunderstanding before, and you and Brother Zheng had a lot of trouble.

But to be a man and do business, peace is still precious, and now for the sake of my face, how about a truce between each of them? ”

After making eye contact with several other Western merchants, Manager Sun nodded and said, "Since Wang Yuanwai has opened his mouth, we naturally want to sell face." ”

Wang Yuanwai looked at Zheng Zhiyan again, "Brother Zheng, don't be unconvinced, how about it now?" ”

Zheng Zhiyan: "."

Although Wang Yuanwai is older than himself, he has always been the role of a younger brother, and he Zheng Zhiyan is the eldest brother of Huishang!

But today, Wang Yuanwai dares to take a bite of "Brother Zheng", I really don't know what to do!

But the situation is stronger than people, Zheng Zhiyan can only nod and say, "Yes, this time it will end here." ”

Wang Yuanwai smiled "haha", and pretended to be arrogant and said: "Please sit down with Brother Zheng and drink and relieve the hangover!" ”

Mr. Sun raised his wine glass with a smile and cooperated with Wang Yuanwai.

But Sun Wenyi, the son of Mr. Sun, couldn't bear it anymore and whispered, "Is my father too respectful to Wang Qing?" After all, we are Western businessmen, and they are Hui businessmen.

And I always feel that there is a little suspicious between Wang Qing and Lin Tailai, doesn't my father have any doubts? ”

Mr. Sun still had a smile on his face, but replied to his son:

"What if you know it's suspicious? If I don't pretend to be confused, can I get out of the water store?

As long as you want to go home safely and soundly, you must recognize Wang Qing's kindness. ”

Sun Wenyi was very unconvinced and said: "If it's just for the sake of the water second warehouse, it's not that I can't understand my father's compromises. But now that he is out of danger, why do you still hold Wang Qing? ”

Mr. Sun said lightly: "Heroes are never so easy to be, the higher they fly, the heavier they fall." ”

Speaking of this, Manager Sun suddenly said to Wang Yuanwai: "That Lin Tailai is a wolf, last time he went to Yangzhou and invaded the Zheng family's foundation, and this time he went to Yangzhou, and coveted the Wang brothers' family business.

It can be seen that Lin Tailai's insatiable character can be the enemy of all of us in the Yangzhou business community, and we have to guard against it. ”

Wang Yuanwai may not have expected Mr. Sun to talk about this, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "The boss is reasonable." ”

Mr. Sun sighed: "What's the use of being reasonable? The most important thing is how it should be done.

Brother Wang is also a victim, don't you want to take back your daughter and family business? ”

Several of the surrounding Western merchants heard Chief Manager Sun's words and shouted together: "The old chief is right, then Lin Tailai is really not a thing!"

If Brother Wang is unwilling, we are willing to help, and we can't cheapen Lin Tailai for nothing! ”

After finishing speaking, Manager Sun stared at Wang Yuanwai tightly.

If Wang Qing and Lin Tailai were in a group, at this time, Wang Qing would either talk about him left and right, or he would be vague and confused.

The purpose is to cool down the intense emotions, ease everyone's hostility towards Lin Tailai, and stop focusing on the focus of "anti-Lin Tailai".

At this time, Wang Yuanwai pondered for a moment, and he didn't know what he was hesitating.

Then he suddenly slapped the case and shouted: "You are all right! Although I was forced to sell my daughter and my property, I don't think Lin Tailai will be satisfied!

As the saying goes, using the land to do the Qin country is like fighting a fire with a salary! We face Lin Tailai, the same reason!

I can't be like Brother Zheng anymore, I was at ease after giving up the seven thousand salts, thinking that I didn't have to worry about Lin Tailai anymore, but this time I was arrested and imprisoned! ”

Zheng Zhiyan: "."

Someone applauded and said, "Brother Wang is right! But aren't you afraid to publicly criticize Lin Tailai like this? After all, that's a person who even dares to arrest the governor and the patrol! ”

Wang Yuanwai stood up again, raised his arms and shouted: "I, Wang Qing, have lost my daughter, lost my property, and have nothing!"

I have nothing left to lose, what am I afraid of?

So I dare to stand here, speak justice for you, and accuse Lin Tailai of a few words? ”

Wang Yuanwai's words were generous and powerful, and the people around him cheered in unison.

Mr. Sun couldn't help but fall into confusion, how dare this Wang Yuanwai publicly reprimand Lin Tailai? Are they really a gang?

He just mentioned Lin Tailai's words, and Wang Yuanwai dared to continue scolding, and his attitude was even more extreme than himself.

Before Mr. Sun could figure it out, Wang Qing began to speak loudly again, "Actually, Lin Tailai is just a paper tiger, far from being as powerful as he seems!"

If Lin Tailai is really fearless, then why did he hide in Shuijicang and dare not come out? It shows that he is also afraid in his heart! ”

Someone shouted again: "Brother Wang also looks down on Lin Tai too much, right?" So how can Lin Tailai just be a paper tiger?

Could it be that Zheng Yuanwai lost 7,000 salt leads, and Brother Wang, you also paid a heavy price, these are all fake? ”

Wang Yuanwai replied: "That's because we are all facing Lin Tailai alone, so we will be broken by Lin Tailai!"

The strength of a family is limited, and there is no future for going it alone!

Now we must unite, and only if we are united can we stand up to people like Lim Tai Lai! ”

There was warm applause and cheers between the seats on the third floor, whether Wang Yuanwai's reasoning was right or not, but the spirit was indeed commendable.

Someone else said loudly: "We are willing to take Brother Wang as the leader to resist Lin Tailai together!" ”

Wang Yuanwai hurriedly humbly conceded: "How can you be a leader, how can you dare to be a leader." ”

A few more people said: "Wang Yuanwai is anxious for justice and righteousness, righteousness is thin and cloudy, and he breaks his family to save people, and his colleagues admire this!"

If someone else is the leader, who can convince everyone? ”

Mr. Sun looked at this scene and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this development trend seemed to be different from what he thought.

He didn't expect that Wang Qing really dared to scold Lin Tailai in public, and even contemptuously belittled him as a paper tiger.

I didn't expect that others would really dare to believe Wang Qing and actually want to nominate Wang Qing as the leader!

Thinking of this, Manager Sun was also quite unconvinced, and asked again: "The leader must be brave and strategic, not just shouting a few words to do a good job, does Brother Wang have any way to deal with Lin Tailai?" ”

Wang Qing said proudly: "I dare to say that Lin Tailai is a paper tiger, and naturally I have my reasons!"

I already have evidence that Lin Tailai sells a large amount of illicit salt, as long as he takes advantage of this, Lin Tailai will be in a catastrophe! ”

Mr. Sun: "."

it! Is Ling Wangqing playing for real?
