After Wang Mi read the letter from the head of the Qi family, he was full of resentment. But he did not dare to disobey the head of the family's instructions, so he had no choice but to rely on his connections and think about meeting Wu Shigong again.
But after this trust relationship was entrusted, he went around and around to the prefect Guan of Runing Mansion. However, because of Wu Shigong's rejection last time, the prefect Guan didn't want to lose face again, so he asked his master to go to Zhang Xuebin.
Let's support each other.
But this time, it was not easy for Wu Shigong to refuse. After all, the last memorial to the prefect Guan did not say anything bad about Wu Shigong, and the matter of the memorial to the prefect Guan was also approved by the prefect Guan’s master, Zhang Xuebin, who was Wu Shigong’s master.
After saying hello, it should be said that Wu Shigong has been given face once. Therefore, if Wu Shigong refutes the face of Guan Zhifu again this time, it will not look good.
Therefore, Wu Shigong agreed. However, Wu Shigong did not agree to Wang Mi's request for a banquet. He only agreed to meet Wang Mi in his yamen to hear what the Qi family had to say.
Although Wang Mi still complied with the request of the head of the Qi family and bought a gift that was quite expensive compared to a military attache. But in Wang Mi's heart, he still did not want to lower his self-esteem as the head of the Qi family asked.
shelf.
Wang Mi grew up in the Qi family when he was young. He rose from a clerk to a sole proprietor, and he also worked with many senior officials of the Qi family.
To be honest, the status of businessmen in the Ming Dynasty was very low, but that was for ordinary businessmen, and for super businessmen like the Qi family, it was not that they had to look at the faces of middle and low-level officials, but
Middle and low-level officials have to take the initiative to seek out the Qi family's sugar daddy, not to mention the relatively lowly military attachés.
Therefore, Wang Mi learned from his seniors in the past and felt in the process of doing business that as soon as he revealed his identity as the Qi family, all the officials would be polite to him.
divided.
Wang Mi also knew that the things he did to Wu Shigong in the past were a bit unreasonable. But Wang Mi just thought that it was a bit unreasonable. In his opinion, as long as he used some gifts to express it in a small way, it would be a shame.
This can completely show the sincerity of the Qi family. This also completely shows that the Qi family has lowered their status. There is no need for Wang Mi himself to do anything groveling towards Wu Shigong.
Therefore, when Wang Mi met Wu Shigong today, he said: "Master Wu, there were some misunderstandings between the Qi family and you in the past. I came to see you today because I want to eliminate the misunderstanding with you."
But when Wu Shigong heard these words, he always felt that Wang Mi's attitude was a bit arrogant. Wu Shigong did not get angry directly. He asked in a mocking tone: "Oh? What's the misunderstanding?"
Of course Wang Mi could hear Wu Shigong's sarcastic tone, and Wang Mi also felt a little angry in his chest. He also spoke out directly: "Didn't your Excellency go to Yangzhou and beat up the third young master of our Qi family? Didn't you, Your Majesty?
Did you steal the girl that the young master of the Salt Luck Envoy fell in love with?"
"So what? Do you Qi family dare to come to Runing Mansion and beat me to death with salt?"
"Don't dare!" Wang Mi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest. At this time, he had not completely lost his mind and still remembered the instructions given to him by the head of the Qi family. So Wang Mi slowed down.
He said in a tone of voice: "Mr. Wu, there is no need to mention the old things again. We, the Qi family, don't want to be at odds with you. We have also persuaded Mr. Guan not to pursue your case."
"Oh! You Qi family are so proud. So, I have to thank you Qi family properly?"
"Mr. Wu, I'm not here to quarrel with you today. I don't talk in circles anymore. Our Qi family wants to resume our original cooperation with you. As for the price of the salt, it's easy to negotiate."
"What kind of cooperation! Have your Qi family ever cooperated with me?"
"Your Majesty, it is wrong to say this. Since the salt from the Lu family has been acquired by our Qi family, you should come to our Qi family to get the salt. If you want to get the salt from other places, aren't you afraid of damaging the salt industry?"
Do you follow the rules?"
"Very good! Very good! You Qi family are very disciplined. You brought the salt for me to two taels of silver per stone, and threatened me that I wouldn't be able to get a grain of salt. Since I can't even get a grain of salt,
, then I will no longer be in the salt business. What’s the point of your coming here today? Please go back.”
"What do you mean by these words, sir? Let's not talk secretly. If you don't want to do salt business, why would you go to Yangzhou to find the Lu family? Sir, please don't forget that you lost some goods on the canal.
"
"What? You want to use those goods to threaten me? Tell you, just obediently deliver those goods to me. Maybe I am in a good mood and will let you Qi family go."
"Your Majesty, you are really not afraid of flashing your tongue when you speak. Are you going to let our Qi family go free? Although our Qi family is just a businessman and our emphasis is on being friendly and making money, our Qi family has never been afraid of any threats. I will put it aside for you here.
In a word, either you will cooperate with our Qi family obediently. If not, if you can’t take it with a grain of salt, it’s still light. You need to worry more about your own future!”
"Future!" Wu Shigong's anger suddenly rose. He stood up from the chair with a "chun" and cursed: "Very good! You bastard finally made it clear. I also tell you that as long as I
The official is here, and you, the Qi family, don’t even think about selling a grain of salt in the area controlled by the official.”
"Huh! Let's just wait and see!" Wang Mi immediately stood up and prepared to leave. But before leaving, Wang Mi added: "Master Wu, then I wish you good luck in your career."
Bar."
Wang Mi once again made a naked threat, which completely angered Wu Shigong. He rushed in front of Wang Mi, and with the surprised eyes of the guards around him, he beat Wang Mi violently.
Wang Mi never thought that with his noble status as a member of the Qi family, someone would dare to hit him. So Wang Mi was knocked to the ground by Wu Shigong. In addition, Wang Mi's combat effectiveness level was dozens of times lower than Wu Shigong's.
level, so in the lobby, I only saw Wang Mi screaming and rolling around.
When Wu Shigong made a move, the guards who reacted from the surprise naturally stepped forward to help. This gave Wu Shigong no room to take action. Wu Shigong stood aside and watched as the guards had almost beaten Wang Mi, so he ordered.
: "Everyone, stop it. Throw him outside the Yamen."
The guards carried Wang Mi towards the door of the Yamen, and Wu Shigong also walked out together. The guards walked to the gate, worked together, and threw Wang Mi in front of the carriage that Wang Mi had brought with him as a gift for Wu Shigong.
The servants brought by Wang Mi were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
But it was not over yet. Wu Shigong walked to the carriage and pulled out the samurai sword from his waist. As soon as they saw Wu Shigong pull out the samurai sword, Wang Mi's servants were so frightened that they fled in all directions, but they were still somewhat conscious.
But he couldn't get up. Wang Mi blocked his head with his hands and shouted: "No!"
Wu Shigong ignored Wang Mi's cry at all. He raised his samurai sword and slashed in an arc, cutting off the head of the horse pulling the carriage. The horse's blood spurted out and drenched Wang.
Mi was so frightened that Wang Mi fainted on the spot.
Wu Shigong spat on Wang Mi contemptuously and ordered his guards: "You will watch him later and let him climb out of Runing City. As long as he stands up, beat him down again."
.I also want to tell everyone that in this city of Runing, if anyone dares to help him or give him a sip of water or a grain of rice, I will kill his whole family."
(Yesterday afternoon I drove eight or nine hours until late at night. Today I have to do another day of errands. So today’s update has fewer words. I’m really sorry.)
