Chapter 54: The Trap on the Li Family
After receiving the errand of receiving the Qi State Mission, Shang Zeyi was so busy for the next while, discussing the details of the marriage, time, etc. with the Qi State Mission, anyway, he could delay it, and the later the better.
As for the Li family's affairs, the mission did not mention half of it, as if they had not received the task at all, which made Shang Zeyi wonder for a while, whether he and Su Jingluo were shaken by Wan Junke, this guy was simply to scare them.
Still not at ease, even if he was too busy and dizzy, Shang Zeyi still took the time to go to the Baiguozhen General Store.
Su Jingluo has been there every day these days, and he is probably worried that Wan Junke will make some changes temporarily, and he can also respond in time to dispatch from the Baiguozhen General Store.
When he arrived at the Baiguozhen General Store, Shang Zeyi just got off the carriage and saw Li Dongmiao sitting pitifully at the door, drooping his head miserably as if he had been robbed by someone.
"What's going on?" Shang Zeyi asked as soon as he entered the shop.
When Li Dongmiao saw Shang Zeyi, it was as if he had seen a savior, grabbed Shang Zeyi's sleeve, snorted and cried with tears: "Fourth prince, you have to help persuade Su Gongzi, he is consumed with Xian Yulu, and it doesn't count if he sells all over the street, he has begun to send things without money in the past few days, and if he continues to toss like this, Xian Yulu will not fall, and the signboard of Baiguozhen will fall in a few days." ”
It turns out that Su Jingluo doesn't know what to do these days, anyway, he has been competing with Wan Junke, the other party recruits people, and the other party lowers the price, and he also lowers the price.
Even a mindless person like Li Dongmiao can see that behind Xian Yulu is the Li family, with a lot of wealth, and Bai Guozhen does not have that kind of background.
Li Dongmiao could see that it was impossible for Su Jingluo not to see it, but he still did it as always, there must be a reason for him.
Since Shang Zeyi found Su Jingluo to be in charge of the dispute between Baiguozhen and Xianyulu, he had confidence in him, and always maintained his trust in Su Jingluo no matter what happened.
But it would be a lie to say that he was completely relieved, and he didn't know Su Jingluo's true thoughts, Shang Zeyi was still a little uneasy.
"What about Master Su?" Shang Zeyi couldn't talk to Li Dongmiao about these things, he also wanted to meet Su Jingluo now, and ask him what specific countermeasures he had, so that Shang Zeyi could feel at ease.
Li Dongmiao pointed to the second floor and said, "Li Gongzi has been on the second floor for the past few days, and someone has just arrived, so he should be talking to him." ”
"Oh, then I'll go up myself. Without bringing Li Dongmiao, Shang Zeyi went up to the second floor alone.
The second floor is a private room, which is obviously usually used by Li Dongmiao to rest and entertain guests, and after Su Jingluo came, he was ruthlessly occupied, and at this time, the private concierge room was closed, and there was a sound of conversation coming from inside.
There was no lock on the door, Shang Zeyi opened it with a light push, and inside was a delicate study dress, Su Jingluo sat facing the door, and the other person who was talking had his back to Shang Zeyi, so he didn't see his face clearly.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two subconsciously stopped talking, and the man also turned his head, and Shang Zeyi looked at it.
Hey, isn't this an acquaintance?
"Old Wang, why are you here? Shang Zeyi was surprised.
The person who came was none other than Wang Qinian, the undercurrent in the Golden Building.
Because of the news that has been secretly circulated several times, Shang Zeyi is no stranger to this undercurrent in Jinlou.
Wang Qinian is about thirty years old, and there is no appearance requirement for undercurrent acceptance, but basically the more ordinary the better, so as not to leave an impression.
From Shang Zeyi's point of view, Wang Qinian must be unqualified in terms of appearance, and he is not suitable to be a secret agent.
It's not that he's too good-looking, it's that he's too lewd, like a rotten egg in a pile of eggs, and he can be recognized at a glance in the crowd.
Wang Qinian saw that the person who came was Shang Zeyi, and hurriedly got up to make way for him, and his mustache shook and shook it, and he said with courtesy: "City Lord, why are you here?"
Every time he saw Wang Qinian, Shang Zeyi would always have the urge to cut off his beard, and he suppressed the impulse and said, "This should be me asking you, how did you get to Baiguozhen?"
Wang Qinian didn't dare to hide it from Shang Zeyi, touched his obscene mustache and said: "Su Gongzi has a little deal with me, and I will talk about it these days." ”
Shang Zeyi just remembered why he came to Su Jingluo, so he temporarily abandoned Wang Qinian, sat down and asked Su Jingluo: "What's the matter with Bai Guozhen?" Although I know that you have calculations, you also have to talk to me to make me feel at ease. ”
Su Jingluo Chengzhu was in his chest, he raised his head slightly and gestured to Wang Qinian, and said, "Aren't you talking?"
Hearing his words, Shang Ze looked back and forth between the two suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Qinian opened his eyes and smiled, even more suspiciously, he answered for Su Jingluo: "Su Gongzi wants to eat the Li family, but the funds in his hand are a problem, so he passed on the meaning to the right minister through me." The right minister is also very interested, and transferred a sum of silver from the vault of our White Deer City, he has already arrived at the Golden Building a few days ago, and in the past few days, while the Li family has not reacted, he has eaten one-third of their property. ”
The right prime minister, Wang Zhaomo, not only manages the undercurrent of the world's No. 1 intelligence organization, but also manages the money in White Deer City.
Although there is no invincible city lord in the world, Bailu City is located in the place where the world is connected, and it has accumulated countless wealth with its geographical advantages, and the treasury is still abundant, which is slightly better than the Li family.
Su Jingluo had a countermeasure when he first saw Wan Junke, but he was short of money in his hands and wanted to find cooperation, so he first thought of Wang Zhaomo.
In the past few days, Su Jingluo has deliberately fought hard with Wan Junke on the street, and put on a posture of not giving up, which really attracted most of their attention, and the pressure was not only squeezing Bai Guozhen's capital chain, but also forcing the fragile nerves of the Li family, so that the entire Li family was wary of whether Bai Guozhen would have unexpected changes, but ignored the situation of other industries.
Su Jingluo took the opportunity to attack the west, and cooperated with Wang Zhaomo to catch the Li family off guard, and ate one-third of the Li family's family wealth alive.
"If you see it, you will accept it, the industry that can eat the Li family before is that their attention is on Baiguozhen, and now they have suffered such a big loss, not to mention Wan Junke, even Li Zhengnan should react, and if you want to eat it again, it will be real money. Su Jingluo said lightly.
The Li family is so thick that they can eat one-third of their family foundation without much effort, and this achievement will be regarded as a myth no matter where it is placed, but in Su Jingluo's opinion, this is just commonplace, and a harder battle is still to come.
"But it's enough to eat one-third of the Li family, plus the funding behind White Deer City, even if the Li family wants to break the kettle and let go, we won't lose to him in terms of funds alone. ”
Su Jingluo was full of confidence.
He was so optimistic, but Shang Zeyi frowned and said worriedly: "It's just that if you continue to consume like this, it will end up being a lose-lose outcome." Even if we win, we will only get a Li family that is just an empty shell, and we will get the real money in my White Deer City for nothing, and this transaction will be lost. ”
Unlike Shang Zejin, who wants to keep the wealth of the Li family in the Shang Kingdom, what Shang Zeyi wants is that the Li family's family property belongs to him, but if the current rhythm continues, Bai Guozhen and Xian Yulu are consumed like a bottomless pit, and in the end, both sides have to run out of money.
Naturally, he had already eaten one-third of the Li family, and Shang Zeyi wanted to accept it if he wanted to see it.
Su Jingluo was not worried about this, he had already considered this.
"Wait, no matter what happens to Baiguozhen, the complete Li family will still fall into the hands of you and me. "Su Jingluo is rightfully authentic.
Then he explained it again, and Shang Zeyi suddenly realized.
In fact, the ultimate goal of him and Shang Zeyi is to eat the entire Li family, as for what way to use, it doesn't necessarily have to be to win the battle for Baiguozhen.
But as long as Bai Guozhen puts on a tough posture and always forces the Li family, in the end, the Li family will only gradually fall into their hands.
In the end, Bai Guozhen really choked the fate of the Li family, once he lost the dispute between Bai Guozhen and Xian Yulu, according to the gambling agreement, the entire Li family would be easy to handle. Therefore, whether it is Li Zhengnan or Wan Junke, they can only desperately spend money on Xianyulu, knowing that it is a trap, they have to sell their property and go all the way to the end, and Su Jingluo, who has Bailu City behind him, can take the opportunity to easily eat the original industry of the Li family at a low price.
So in the end, no matter whether the battle for Baiguozhen is successful or lost, the ending of the Li family will not change, and it will only fall into the hands of Shang Zeyi and Su Jingluo.
For this business war, Baiguozhen is insignificant, but it is an ingenious fulcrum that leverages the foundation of the entire Li family.
As Su Jingluo's opponent, Wan Jun was not intellectual, but lost in the general trend.
"The Li family's only chance now is above the mission, is there any movement over there?"
Shang Zeyi shook his head and said, "The envoy of the Qi State didn't mention the Li family at all, as if they hadn't taken over the task. But the more this is the case, the more I care, and the longer they delay, the more calculating they become. ”
Su Jingluo also has no information on this matter, but the biggest intelligence leader of the Golden Mansion is by his side, Su Jingluo asked Wang Qinian directly: "Is there any clue about this in the undercurrent?"
Wang Qinian pinched his beard and smiled, and said obscenely: "There is some news, but it is still half-truths and half-truths that have not been confirmed." ”
"What?" Shang Ze recalled.
Speaking of intelligence, Wang Qinian restrained his temperament and said solemnly: "A letter came from Qi State the day before yesterday, saying that Qi State intended to buy a certain big man in Jinlou, but I don't know who it is. ”
