Hearing Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer's questions, before Li Qin could answer, a loyal servant beside her shouted excitedly:
"They did it! It must be them! I was seriously ill by them, and now they are attacking Xiuxian Gang. They want to drive out our Li family!"
Qin Qiaoer's face darkened, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his brows, and he asked in a cold voice: "Who are they?"
The loyal servant was so frightened by the murderous aura emanating from her expression that he could not speak.
After Li Qin sighed softly, she personally explained the situation to her younger brothers and sisters:
"Your fourth brother-in-law has no ability in studying and getting fame, but he is quite talented in business. In just a few years, he has grown the small cloth shop at home and developed it into a new big cloth shop in Baize County.
business……"
Although Qin Shaoyou has never been to Jiangnan, he has heard of Baize County.
Because Baize County is rich in weaving, it is known as one of the four major cloth capitals in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is only a county town, it is very prosperous.
Zhu Xiucai once said more than once that he wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to gain knowledge. If he could go to a large and wealthy county like Baize County, he would have no regrets in his life.
I don’t know where this guy heard the news, saying that in rich counties in the south of the Yangtze River such as Baize County, the customs industry is very prosperous. There are not only dancing girls from the Xia Kingdom, but also foreign races from other countries, as well as various monsters...
One of Zhu Xiucai's dreams was to write a book called "Hundred Monsters", in which he would comment on the advantages and disadvantages of various monsters and rate them.
Of course, the current Zhu Xiucai would probably not dare to say such a thing again.
Even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the guts or the guts.
Baize County is one of the largest cloth production and trading places in Jiangnan. The competition among local cloth merchants is naturally quite fierce.
In this environment, the fourth brother-in-law Li Xin was able to grow into a big cloth merchant in Baize County. His business acumen and skills were indeed very strong, and the resources and funds controlled by Li's cloth shop were by no means ordinary.
But in the same way, Li's Cloth Shop has grown from a small cloth shop to a large cloth merchant. It must have taken away a lot of business from other cloth merchants, and it will naturally be remembered.
Li Qin's story also proves this situation.
The cloth merchants in Baize County could not defeat Li Xin in the shopping mall, so they resorted to crooked means.
"Three months ago, your fourth brother-in-law suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. The skin all over his body was ulcerated and suppurated, and he almost died. Several big cloth merchants in Baize County took the opportunity to join forces to strangle Li's cloth shop, hoping to kill him in one fell swoop.
Annexed the Li family cloth shop..."
At the critical moment, it was the fourth sister who stood up and turned the tide.
She first calmed down the internal commotion and uncovered a few thieves who were trying to steal the goods. Then she took advantage of the tactics and defused the tactics used by several big cloth merchants one by one.
Those cloth merchants did not expect that Li's cloth shop would not become a piece of sand without Li Xin. Li Qin's ability was actually no worse than hers.
Even in some aspects, Li Qin's ability is even stronger.
Although Li's cloth shop suffered a lot of losses in this process, it did not suffer any damage and successfully weathered the crisis without being swallowed up by those big cloth merchants.
The fourth sister said these words relatively calmly, but Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer could both imagine the danger at that time.
I didn't expect that the fourth sister, who used to be soft and weak, could actually have such a powerful appearance. No wonder she has such a high prestige in the caravan because she was 'beaten'.
"This time the imperial court asked for a spiritual guide, and our Li family was originally not on the list, but in the end we were assigned a task.
I secretly made inquiries and found out that the big cloth merchants were unwilling to give up and gave money to the eunuchs who came to supervise the practice. Only then did Li's cloth shop be added to the list of tributes.
In order to prevent any accidents, I personally led the team to escort the monk, and I also took your seriously ill brother-in-law with me.
Your brother-in-law's illness has not been cured even after visiting famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River. I suspect that he was poisoned by that group of people. I think that the capital is under the emperor's feet, and the doctors must be more powerful. Maybe they can cure your brother-in-law's strange illness.
…”
After talking about these situations, Li Qin sighed and said quietly:
"I originally thought that those big cloth merchants wanted us to pay tribute to the practice guide because they wanted to consume our funds.
Now it seems that I thought things were too simple, and those big cloth merchants thought too well.
They clearly want to use the Cultivation Guide to make our Li family spread out, and to plunge our entire Li family into a state of eternal doom!
When we are imprisoned for failing to follow our spiritual principles, they can take the opportunity to seize our property and take away everything we have."
Xue Xiaobao, who had come along to join in the fun, couldn't help opening his mouth when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Isn't business war supposed to be about intrigues and tricks? Why are you poisoning and hurting people?"
"Real business wars are often so simple and direct. Strategies and tactics only exist in storytellers and novels."
Qin Shaoyou patted Xue Xiaobao on the head, and said to himself that this was not straightforward, but what was more direct was robbing the official seal and getting on a dump truck.
After listening to Li Qin's description, Su Tingyu tugged on Qin Shaoyou's clothes and whispered: "From your fourth sister's description, your fourth brother-in-law's condition does not seem to be due to illness or poisoning, but rather
It's like someone has put a curse on you."
Qin Qiaoer, who was standing nearby, heard what Su Tingyu said. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "It does sound like being cursed."
Immediately she asked Li Qin: "After the fourth brother-in-law fell ill, did you report the case to the local Demon Suppression Department?"
"Reported." Li Qin said with a wry smile: "Your fourth brother-in-law has always been in good health, but he suddenly fell ill. We also suspected that he was either poisoned or possessed by evil spirits. Not only did he go to Baize County Government to report the case, but we also went to the Demon Suppression Department.
As a result, they simply ignored us and asked us to go to a doctor if we were sick."
Qin Qiaoer's face was as cold as frost, and he hummed: "How can such a thing exist? It seems that people from the Baize County Government Office and the Demon Suppression Department are suspected of neglecting their duties even if they have not accepted bribes. When I return to the capital, I will definitely attend
One copy of them!”
"I will also tell Qin Erlang about these things when the time comes." Xue Xiaobao agreed.
Although he didn't know Qin Erlang's true identity, he guessed that this good friend was definitely something special.
Qin Shaoyou asked: "My fourth brother-in-law is also in the team? Where is he now? Can you take us over to see him?"
Judging from the fact that this five ghost transporting technique also relies on talismans, the person who performs the technique should not be far away. Maybe he is following the fourth sister and the others all the way. Only then can he trick the caravan man into hiding the talisman in Yangping Mansion.
paper, and used the five ghost transporting technique today to steal the practice guide.
Maybe there are these people behind the thieves who sneaked into the inn tonight.
Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence. During the day, I just used the five ghost transporting technique to steal the training guide, and the thieves came at night.
If the thieves succeed in killing people and stealing goods, killing both Li Xin and Li Qin, they can go back immediately and devour the leaderless Li family's business.
If Li Xin and Li Qin were lucky enough not to be killed by the bandits and lose their spiritual practice at this time, it would be too late to make amends. What awaited them would be a death sentence.
No matter what the final result is, that group of people can pass the blame to the thieves and remove themselves from it, so as to avoid being traced to themselves.
And if Li Xin was really cursed, with Cui Yougui and Su Tingyu here, maybe he could follow the spell and lock the opponent's position.
At that time, not only can the practice guide be recovered, but also the stolen goods can be recovered, so that the people who framed the fourth sister's family will not be able to quibble.
