The atmosphere in the Chu family's meeting hall was depressed for a while, Chu Zongguang frowned, this is what he hates the most, Chu Xiu's thoughts are clear to him, but if Chu Sheng's mother and son really do this kind of thing, this is also something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

Chu Zongguang looked at Chu Sheng's mother and son and said, "You really did this thing?"

The second lady stood up, made a look of grievance, and said: "Of course not, others don't believe me, don't you still believe me, master? How could I do something that harms the interests of the Chu family? Yes, I sold that batch of ore, but it was my father who sold it." ”

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "Then how could the last ore go to the Li family?"

The second lady said: "My father's Kaishan Martial Arts Hall needs a batch of blades, and in the entire Tongzhou Mansion, only the Li family's blades are the best, but the Li family's blades with more than three turns are directly built in Qingyuan Town, Yan Kingdom, and that is a treasure, plus my relationship, even if the Li family still has some treasured blades, they will not sell them to my father."

So my father could only find a way to sell this batch of ore to the Li family, so that the Li family agreed to help him forge blades.

However, as a member of the Chu family, even if Ding Kaishan is my father, I will not harm the interests of the Chu family. ”

As she spoke, the second lady directly took out the silver ticket, handed over the fifty-five thousand taels of silver to Chu Zongguang's hand, and said with an aggrieved look: "Fifty-two thousand catties of ore, according to the highest market price, is only fifty-two thousand taels, but here it is three thousand taels more, which is more than the highest price."

Although my Chu family's ore is sold to Yan Country to earn more, this batch of ore is enough for the caravan to go once, I sold it directly to my father, and the caravan saves time, isn't this good?

Besides, sir, don't forget, when the Chu family first came to Tongzhou Mansion, my father helped the Chu family a lot, and there was no credit for this, so how could there be hard work, right?"

Seeing that the second lady finished the play there, Chu Xiu suddenly frowned.

It seems that the second lady is not unprepared, and she has thought of all the excuses.

It's just that no matter how much she makes excuses, she can't change the fact that the ore fell into the hands of the Li family, Chu Zongguang shouldn't choose to turn a blind eye, right?

But the result was that those elders of the Chu family were silent after seeing the silver ticket, and the Chu family did not lose money this time anyway.

And Chu Zongguang frowned, the second lady really made it a little difficult for him to carry Ding Kaishan out.

After all, the Chu family was able to gain a successful foothold in Tongzhou Mansion, and Ding Kaishan really made a lot of efforts.

Although the Chu family later compensated Ding Kaishan a lot, Chu Zongguang couldn't pull his face to scold his father-in-law.

So he just snorted coldly and said, "Okay, this matter is over, Chu Xiu, you don't have to stare at this matter." ”

After Chu Zongguang finished speaking to Chu Xiu, he turned his gaze to the second lady again, and said lightly: "And you too, don't think I don't know what your idea is."

After all, the Li family and our Chu family have different paths, forget about this matter, if you have anything to do with the Li family next time, you must not be spared!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Zongguang let everyone disperse, and he also left directly.

Chu Sheng's mother and son Shi Shiran left, and Chu Sheng showed a smug smile at Chu Xiu before leaving, but Chu Xiu still had an expressionless face.

The decision Chu Zongguang made today simply made Chu Xiu feel the urge to scold his mother.

This kind of thing can fool the enemy, and this Chu family is simply like not Chu Zongguang.

Leaving the Chu family's mansion, Chu Xiu went all the way back, Ma Kuo saw Chu Xiu coming back, and asked with a smile: "Young Master Chu, did your father punish the mother and son heavily?"

Chu Xiu shook his head, which suddenly made Ma Kuo stunned, and said in disbelief: "Your father doesn't care about this kind of thing, what does he think?"

Even rough people like Ma Kuo know that what Chu Sheng's mother and son do is a big taboo.

It's okay to fight, not to mention a small family like the Chu family, those top families on the rivers and lakes are even more ruthless in infighting, and almost every generation of heirs, except for some of them who can crush others, or they are all blood from generation to generation.

But the problem is that there is a premise for infighting, that is, it must not damage one's own interests.

Although the second lady's mother and son relied on sophistry and silver tickets to prove that they did not harm the interests of the Chu family, it was Chu Xiu's interests that were harmed.

Using outsiders to pit his own people, isn't Chu Xiu a member of the Chu family?

Chu Xiu said with a gloomy face: "I don't even know what my father thinks now, but this matter is definitely not over, let people prepare to prepare, I want to move that Li Zhao!"

Ma Kuo was puzzled: "Let Boss Han make a move?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, let's do it ourselves!" This time, I not only want to move Li Zhao, but also want to force the Chu family, otherwise according to the normal procedure, I will definitely not be the heir of the head of the Chu family." ”

Now Chu Xiu can also see that Chu Zongguang doesn't like him, even if his favorite son Chu Injury has been abolished, but he Chu Zongguang doesn't like him either.

Those people within the Chu family are even more short-sighted, and they are all staring at their immediate interests.

Chu Xiu has no patience to spend it with them, and if he wants to get this position as soon as possible, he can only get this position by killing the eldest Chu Kai and the third Chu Sheng, or he can only make a contribution that no one can surpass, and he can only get this position.

Right now, the Li family is such an opportunity, moving Li Zhao is just an introduction, and destroying the Li family is Chu Xiu's real plan!

In the past, the Li family and the Chu family had so many grievances, if Chu Xiu could completely destroy the Li family, who could compare to this credit?

Although he is not strong compared to the Li family, Chu Xiu is confident that he can leverage the strength of the entire Chu family through this matter.

Ma Kuo shrugged his shoulders on the side, anyway, they are now holding Chu Xiu's silver and doing things for Chu Xiu, so naturally Chu Xiu is what he says.

Moreover, they are also cooperating well with Chu Xiu now, if Chu Xiu can sit in the position of the heir of the Chu family, and the power in his hands is big enough, it will actually be beneficial to them.

"By the way, Young Master Chu, do you know which way the Chu family's caravan is going to take? If you can't hear it, I'll let you go and talk to Boss Han and ask them to help you keep an eye on it. ”

Chu Xiu shook his head, and said with a strange color in his eyes: "No need, I have my own way to do this." ”

Saying that, Chu Xiu called Gao Bei and asked, "Help me pay attention to how Li Jing of the Li family is doing now, and tell me his news." ”

If Li Zhao hadn't mentioned this matter before, Chu Xiu would have almost forgotten what happened in Yuanbao Town.

But now that Li Zhao suddenly mentioned it, Chu Xiu suddenly had a way.

Li Jing can only be regarded as a small person in the Li family, although he is appreciated by Li Zhao, but he is only a subordinate after all, he is not even in charge, and his situation and whereabouts are not secrets.

At this time, Li Jing was drinking in a tavern.

If a person from the Li family like Li Jing drinks in a tavern opened by the Li family, he will naturally have some discounts, but now he deliberately avoided these places and chose a tavern opened by an ordinary businessman, just because he didn't want other Li family's subordinates to see his jokes and laugh at him.

Li Jing is an ambitious person, since he was a child.

Although he is a descendant of the Li family, he is unwilling to be a person all his life.

There are many people with such ambitions, but most of them are daydreaming, but Li Jing is different, he is the kind of person who really dares to do it, so he is very hard working and desperate in the Li family.

Although he doesn't want to be a human being, if he can't even do a subordinate, then how can he become a human being?

With this kind of thought, it took Li Jing a short time to stand out from a bunch of subordinates and gain the appreciation of Li Sangongzi, but the experience in Yuanbao Town was like a nightmare, directly destroying everything for him.

Li Tong, the steward of the Li family, was humiliated by Chu Xiu because of his involvement, so he became angry with him after returning to the Li family.

And Li Sangongzi also reprimanded him because he caused trouble outside and was not stable enough, although it was just a reprimand, but in fact, it also meant that he was disgusted by the third son, so during this period of time, Li Tong was even more merciless in the Li family to embarrass him, and no one in the entire Li family was willing to stand up for him.

Now Li Jing doesn't know who he should hate.

Do you hate Chu Xiu's humiliation at the beginning, or hate Li Tong for bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and dare not trouble Chu Xiu and can only be angry with him, or do you hate Li Zhao for abandoning him mercilessly?

Just when Li Jing was a little drunk, a person suddenly walked out of him and said, "Li Jing, my son-in-law invites you to come over, be quiet, don't scream." ”

As he spoke, the man directly put his hand on Li Jing's shoulder, and the force suddenly made Li Jing understand that he couldn't resist.

This immediately made Li Jing's wine wake up for the most part, and he said in a low voice: "Who is your son-in-law? I'm a small role that can't be on the stage, what is he looking for me for?"

"You'll know when you go!"

The man directly threw down a piece of broken silver and left the tavern with Li Jing hostage, but he didn't go far, and led him directly into the second floor of an inn.

Pushing open the door, there was only one young man in the room, wearing a golden brocade robe, and on the table was a Yanling knife, a salted water dish of peanuts and a pot of rice wine.

The moment he saw this person, Li Jing's eyes were immediately filled with horror.

"Chu Xiu! It's you!"
