Chapter 129: Liuyun Jin (4)
Chu Zhixia left the Deng family unconsciously and walked aimlessly on the street. When passing by the lively market, I saw a cloth village full of people in front of it, and the people were noisy.
"Your Liuyun brocade is cheaper than the market price, and there is no Jiang's commercial seal, what is it if it is not a fake? At the feet of the emperor capital, the Son of Heaven dared to do this thing, and he was not afraid that I would call Ying Tianfu to copy your shop! ”
The one who shouted at the top of her voice was a vulgar-looking woman, angry and angry, and she wanted to blow half the people in the street over. She fiercely pulled at a snow-white brocade mixed with ash, the brocade was as soft as water, hanging from her fingers, and the creases were soft.
"This lady, not to mention the Liuyun brocade is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the price is also different. You keep saying that our Liuyunjin does not have the Jiang family's business seal, do you have to have the surname Jiang in the whole world? The boss of the cloth village was also a sharp-toothed woman, and glanced at the woman meanly, "Liuyun Jin is as precious as gold, and you don't look like a person who is so familiar with Liuyun Jin that your left hand touches your right hand." ”
The woman's face turned red, and she pointed at her nose and scolded, "What do you mean? ”
"You're making trouble in front of my store, and you're asking me what you mean?" The boss of the cloth village scolded, "The Jiang family has a big business, and they still have to snatch food from the mouths of those of us who do small business!" Do you think that if you pretend to be stupid, the Jiang family will reward you with food? Phew! It's shameless to make black money at home, and to smash other people's pots! ”
The more the scolding on both sides became more and more intense, and they were about to scuffle. In the crowd, there were people who clapped their hands, some who pulled and persuaded them, and some who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and talked about the Jiang family's bad things in recent days, which was as lively as a restaurant storytelling.
Chu Zhixia looked at it with relish for a while, then turned his head and went to the Scarlet Jade Pavilion.
——
Jiang House.
"Childe, the collection over there in Jiangnan is here again."
"Childe, Ying Tianfu said that the casino case has been transferred to Dali Temple, and it is not under their control."
"Childe, there is a letter from Guangling. The old man in the clan urged the son to go back quickly and renegotiate the position of the head of the family......"
At dinner, Jiang Changgongzi ate a lot of chickens and dogs, and he was furious when he heard one bad news after another. Jiang Changgongzi listened to the news reported by the shopkeeper and his subordinates, chewing extra hard, as if he was chewing Chu Zhixia's bones.
If it weren't for Chu Shixia, he would have collected enough money through the casino to make up enough arrears, so why would he put all the casinos under his name into it?
"What about the people sent to the Chen family to invite Chen Boyan's son?" Jiang Changgongzi inadvertently bit a grain of sand, angrily spit the rice in his mouth onto the handkerchief, and slapped the subordinates around him to the ground, "How do you do things?" I can't call you, can I? ”
"Chang Gongzi Jiang is so temperamental, it seems that Chen Mou is not the right time to come." Chen Boyan appeared at the gate of the courtyard with a smile.
Jiang Changgongzi's heart was strained.
Ever since the Jiang family's industries in the imperial capital had accidents one after another, Jiang Changgongzi desperately wanted to seek the help of the Chen family. As long as the Chen family says a word, Dali Temple can take this matter lightly. But Chen Boyan, who temporarily came forward on behalf of the Chen family, never saw him, either busy today or had an appointment tomorrow.
Jiang Changgongzi secretly gritted his teeth, when he sent silver tickets to the Chen family, the Chen family did not have this attitude!
"Chen Gongzi is here, and the humble house is shining." Jiang Changgongzi said humbly.
"I probably know what you're looking for me." Chen Boyan sat down in the hall by himself, and his familiarity was dazzling.
A glimmer of hope floated in Jiang Changgongzi's heart.
"But it's official, this matter is your Jiang family's wrongdoing, I can't help you." Chen Boyan lightly shattered his hopes, "What's more, on the day of the fire in Sanfu Casino, Dali Siqing's son was also inside." Although there was no danger in the end, I don't know what Deng Gongzi said to his father when he went back. ”
Jiang Changgongzi gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for that Chu Zhixia to make a stumbling block......
"Shhhhhhhh You don't want to die? Dare to say that about the people of the Chu family. ”
Jiang Changgongzi said flatteringly: "No matter how beautiful the Chu family is, doesn't it have to be lower to you?" ”
Chen Boyan shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this point, I can only persuade you, forget it." ”
Never mind? The Jiang family has more than 20 casinos in the imperial capital, large and small, and the profits from the house title deed add up to a huge amount of money, so how can he calculate it? What's more, when he went north this time, the sect didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him. How did he get back to Guangling?!
Jiang Changgongzi's eyes were red.
He naturally knew that Chen Boyan was not a good man and a woman, and such a shirk was just because the chips were not enough to make him excited.
"Chen Gongzi, make an offer." Jiang Changgongzi tried his best to maintain the last shred of decency, and said.
"Prince Jiang is really happy."
Chen Boyan slowly took out a written IOU from his arms and brought it to him, "Over there in Dali Temple, you can fool the lives of the Jiang Casino." But the ransom to redeem the casino cannot be less. I lend you this ransom, and you only need to press a handprint to get your property back, how about it? ”
Dali Temple is clearly the lackey of the Chen family, what ransom do you want? Chen Boyan said a word, but the Jiang family owed him a lot of money inexplicably. When Jiang Changgongzi looked at the interest rate on the IOU again, his eyes widened in disbelief.
According to the interest rate and principal written on this IOU, if Jiang Changgongzi does not pay back the money within half a year, half of the Jiang family will have to pay Chen Boyan.
"Chen Gongzi, what's the difference between you and Ming Rob?" Jiang Changgongzi gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to deceive people too much!" ”
"You can choose not to sign it. But you have to think about it, you lost all your money in the imperial capital, and returned to Guangling, is your position as the head of the family still sitting firmly? Sign this IOU, and at least you can keep your position. From now on, we will be your help, after all, we don't want this to be a bad debt. You still have a chance to make a comeback. ”
Chen Boyan said step by step, "Or is the famous Jiang Changgongzi willing to go back to Guangling with his tail between his legs and live secretly for the rest of his life?" ”
Jiang Changgongzi's teeth were almost crushed.
He finally understood that Chen Boyan had been hanging him for so many days, just waiting for this moment. Chen Boyan wanted far more than he imagined. If Chu Zhixia set off a bloody storm in Sanfu Casino, there was the Chen family's instructions.
An official is an official, and a business is a businessman.
It was clear that he had long known that he should not pin his hopes on the Chen family.
"I ...... Sign. ”
Chen Boyan sighed with a smile: "You are a smart person. ”
——
Crimson Pavilion.
Jiang Qiao moved the abacus against the ledger, the speed was very fast, and there was only the click of the abacus beads colliding in the room. Chu Zhixia sat next to her, flipping through the book boredly, shaking her head.
"After deducting the cost of building the loom, the weaver's wages and the rent of the rented workshop, we earned. Although it is not a huge profit, the imitation of Liuyunjin flows into the Fang City, which is even worse for the Jiang family. Jiang Qiao stopped his intention to plate and said to Chu Zhixia.
Chu Shixia spread his hands and said, "I don't understand business. But on the way here, someone was arguing over the Jiang family's Liuyunjin and the low-priced Liuyunjin. Recently, I have also heard that the price of Liuyunjin has been raised too high, and the wives and ladies of the princess have begun to be dissatisfied. ”
It's one thing to be willing to use the expensive Liuyunjin to show your identity, but it's another thing to be treated like a fool.
Jiang Qiao nodded: "I will order someone to rush to make a batch of high-quality Liuyun Brocade and sell it at the original normal price of Liuyun Brocade, squeezing the living space of the Jiang Clan's Liuyun Brocade." ”
"It's up to you." Chu Shixia nodded, and said, "Young Master Jiang must be anxious now—you have to pay attention to your safety recently, and I will let Cheng Yuan protect you." ”
"Me?" Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment.
"You." Chu Shixia said, "The Chen family sent someone to confiscate the Jiang family's casino, and the next step will definitely be to force the Jiang eldest son to redeem it." He can't get mixed up in the imperial capital, and he will definitely go back to Guangling. Before he leaves, he may attack you. ”
