In the evening, Li Mu and Su Tan'er were looking at the full moon in the sky on the corridor on the second floor of the small courtyard of Su Mansion, eating, blowing in the wind, and talking.
"Ms. sir, are you having a showdown with the Wu family?"
Li Mu said: "It's a showdown!"
Su Tan'er asked curiously: "What was the result?"
Li Mu smiled: "My husband took action, and the result is good. The tone has been set. You can talk to the Wu family again tomorrow. Whatever you like, you're welcome."
Su Tan'er said: "The Wu family gave in so easily."
Li Mu said: "Of course it's not that easy, but they have no choice. On the one hand, they will confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, and on the other hand, they will lose their money. It's very easy to choose."
Su Tan'er said: "Those who listen to my husband, go and have a talk with them tomorrow."
Li Mu said: "When talking to the Wu family, speak more domineeringly. Don't let them think you are easy to talk to."
Su Tan'er wondered: "How can you be more domineering?"
Li Mu said: "For example, can you say you want money or people? Or, don't worry about money...after all, people can live."
Su Tan'er smiled and said: "Mr. Sir, will saying this add salt to the wound?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "How could that be possible? They are all veterans who have been in the mall for decades, and they still have some tolerance. This is also to express their attitude and not give them any chance to bargain."
…
The next day, Su Tan'er took seven or eight of her close shopkeepers and stewards, as well as a few little girls, to the teahouse they had made an appointment with the Wu family.
The tense atmosphere of Jiangning's weaving industry has not spread to the common people. Pedestrians are passing through the streets and alleys, and music is playing softly in restaurants and tea shops. Occasionally, some people will talk about interesting things in Jiangning. The Su family and the Wu family will inevitably be mentioned.
and.
Nowadays, Jiangning's weaving industry, which was once full of murderous energy, also seems to be quiet.
Speaking of which, many people are surprised that the Su family has been assassinated one after another; they have failed in the competition for royal merchants; the second and third families have been separated, and they are eyeing the position of the head of the family.
Under such circumstances, the Su family, which should have been even more chaotic, unexpectedly calmed down and performed their duties, which was surprising.
Another amazing thing is the Wu family, who turned their hands into clouds and rain, quietly obtained the secret recipe of the Su family, and snatched the food from the tiger's mouth to get the emperor's business. Although such ruthless methods made people wary,
But it also makes people sigh with emotion.
After taking over Huangshang, the Wu family was originally very high-profile, but recently it suddenly became low-key. Every time the merchants in Jiangning City talked about it, they would praise the Wu family for their calmness and magnanimity. It was very rare for them to be so low-key despite such achievements.
The carriage drove all the way and arrived at the teahouse we had arranged. We met several shopkeepers and stewards of the Wu family, headed by Wu Chenghou.
After the greetings, Wu Chenghou looked around and said, "Where's nephew Ning Xian! Why didn't he come?"
Su Tan'er smiled faintly and said calmly: "My husband never likes to meddle in these nosy matters and worry about these things. There are lectures in the academy today, so Tan'er did not disturb him."
Wu Chenghou laughed at himself: "So, our Wu family is not in the eyes of nephew Ning Xian, so I am making a fuss."
Su Tan'er smiled and said, "Forgive me, Shibo. My husband is at home today and doesn't care about these mundane things. My niece is taking care of the business. If the Su family hadn't encountered difficulties recently, Tan'er would have been helpless and my husband wouldn't have interfered."
"However, my husband did have some insight into today's matter, and the subsequent development has been clearly arranged one by one. My husband has his own things to do, so I will leave it to my niece.
Well, there is no need for Shi Bowan to be angry about this..."
Wu Chenghou snorted and had to sit down and start negotiating.
In fact, there was nothing to talk about. Su Tan'er followed the principles explained by Li Mu. Although her tone was gentle, her words were domineering, without any intention of compromise.
The Wu family had already accepted it, but when they saw Su Tan'er's firm words, they sighed and had no choice but to agree.
After the general framework was determined, Wu Chenghou stood up and left. He had never experienced such a frustrating negotiation. The next specific details were directly left to his eldest son Wu Qilong.
The wind blew through the corner of the alley near the tea house, and the negotiation was over. Su Tan'er and his party took a carriage home. In the car behind were seven or eight confidant shopkeepers and stewards, who were looking through the thick account books and the records of the Wu family's various properties.
material.
Su Tan'er opened the curtain and looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, and said with a smile: "Chan'er, do you think I spoke domineeringly today?"
Xiaochan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that her young lady would ask such a question: "Baqi... He is so domineering. The head of the Wu family was so angry that he almost blew his beard and stared."
Su Tan'er thought for a while and nodded: "I think it's pretty awesome too." She laughed as she said that.
Xiaochan laughed and said, "Not only the Wu family, but Shopkeeper Cao and the others who came with us today were also frightened when they knew what they were asked to do today."
"Until the Wu family handed over their business brochures and account books from various places, they still couldn't believe that they could directly choose from these high-quality properties located in various places."
The shopkeeper and manager who came with Su Tan'er this time were really shocked. The Wu family is getting stronger and stronger now, and they have taken over Huangshang again. However, the Su family is getting weaker and weaker. Under this situation, the two families had no idea.
Any intersection, even hostility.
Now, the Wu family has taken out all their assets and let the Su family choose whatever they like.
The seven or eight shopkeepers and stewards looked at the thick pile of industrial information from various places piled in the carriage, and still felt that it was not real, like they were in a dream.
Things took such a big turn. I heard that my uncle in the family even took part in taking the lead. They kept it secret to such an extent. I don’t know how many things the host couple did in secret. Even the Wu family admitted that they were defeated. It seemed that they were deeply involved.
According to Su Tan'er, as long as you can control your digestion, you can eat as much as you want.
With the ability of the Su Family Dafang, it can only absorb one-third of the Wu family. Even so, if it swallows up some of the best properties of the Wu family, the strength of the Su family Dafang will skyrocket in the future.
As for the Wu family, after this, it will lose so many high-quality industries and may be in ruins.
It's a pity that such exciting things need to be kept secret. Only a few shopkeepers and managers know about it. Once word spreads in the future, I don't know how many waves, shocks and admirations will come.
As for the two-bedroom and three-bedroom family members who think that the position of the head of the family is 100% certain, I am afraid they will be disappointed. It will never be possible for them to take charge of the Su family.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Wu family had too many properties and the selection process was too cumbersome for Su Tan'er and a few little girls to handle, the confidentiality work would have continued until the overall situation was decided.
In the next few days, in the same teahouse, Su Tan'er led several girls, shopkeepers, stewards, and people led by Wu Qilong to connect business and industry in various places.
Su Tan'er was sitting quietly drinking tea, and suddenly said: "Who is your mole in our Su family? It's time to tell, right?"
Wu Qilong opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment.
Su Tan'er said: "I remember that this is also one of the conditions I negotiated with your father a few days ago. If I break my promise, the consequences will be serious."
Wu Qilong sighed and said several names in succession. Just as he mentioned the last one, he looked at Su Tan'er's calm face and said in surprise: "Don't you believe it?"
Su Tan'er said: "I believe it!"
Wu Qilong asked curiously: "Shopkeeper Xi is one of your most capable assistants. Are you not surprised to know that he is a mole?"
Su Tan'er smiled: "I've known it for a long time. What's surprising? He was even involved in my father's assassination. Do you think you colluded with him? We didn't know. We just didn't expose it in order not to alert the snake."
"Otherwise, don't you think about it, shopkeeper Xi is one of the shopkeepers I rely on most, and why he is not involved in such a big deal as taking over your Wu family's property."
Wu Qilong said with shock on his face: "So you have known it for a long time, you have known it for a long time...I just said...just said...Oh! Greed really kills people."
Su Tan'er said: "Okay, I hope you will cooperate well in the future, and our Su family will also help you. I don't want to kill them all. That would be bad for the reputation of my Su family."
Wu Qilong sighed, having been plotted to this extent, he had to admit it.
…
In the afternoon, Su Tan'er called Geng Huyuan, sighed softly, and gave a few serious instructions.
Geng Huyuan clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Miss, I promise not to let anyone escape."
Su Tan'er warned again: "Be careful, this person is very smart, just follow the predetermined plan."
Geng Huyuan nodded, cupped his fists and saluted, then mounted his horse and hurried away.
At the door of a shop in the Su family, Xi Junyu was sitting there basking in the sun, closing his eyes and meditating on what had happened during this period, with a bit of pride on his face.
At this time, there was the sound of a wheel axle nearby, Xi Junyu raised his head, a carriage stopped in front of him, Geng Huyuan jumped out of the driveway: "Shopkeeper Xi, Miss, please come."
Xi Junyu said: "What does the young lady want from me? Why did she come to you specifically to pick her up?"
Geng Huyuan said: "Shopkeeper Xi will know when he arrives."
Xi Junyu smiled, stood up slowly, and got on the carriage. At this time, Su Taner called him over, just to let him go over to discuss countermeasures.
He just heard this morning that through the clan meeting, the two and three bedrooms that had just been separated began to press forward step by step, connecting with each other, planning to gather together once in a while, and hold another meeting to decide on the next generation successor of the Su family.
.
Naturally, Su Tan'er failed to compete for the imperial merchants, which wasted a lot of family resources and had a huge negative impact on the Su family. In addition, the recent crazy and disorderly expansion in various places made it no longer suitable for the Su family to be in charge.
The new successor can only choose from the second- and third-bedroom apartments.
This is not only a fantasy about two-bedroom and three-bedroom families, but many people in the Su family today have this view. Last time, they only separated the family and did not replace Su Tan'er in one step. Many people were very regretful.
It's rare for so many clan members to get together. If they don't take the opportunity to decide who will be the next generation of the Su family, they will have to make another trip in a while.
From Xi Junyu's point of view, the convening of the second clan conference is almost unstoppable, and Su Tan'er's resignation is already foreseeable, so it is normal for him to be so anxious to discuss countermeasures.
Sitting on the carriage, Xi Junyu began to think about the possibility of Su Tan'er's comeback. After thinking for a long time, there was no possibility of a comeback in a short time.
From the Royal Merchants Conference to the present, these methods against the big family have been linked together. It is a foregone conclusion that the second and third families will attack Su Tan'er. At the next second clan meeting, all Su Tan'er's rights will be removed.
There is no room for twists and turns.
Thinking of this, he smiled and shook his head, wanting to ask Su Tan'er if she was afraid!
However, as the carriage stopped in the backyard of the store, the courtyard door was slammed shut, and as soon as Xi Junyu got out of the car, Geng Huyuan waved his hand, and several nurses around him immediately swarmed up and controlled him firmly.
Xi Junyu was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "What are you doing...what are you going to do...I am the shopkeeper of Su's. If you do this, aren't you afraid that the lady will find out and blame you?"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him. Several people directly carried him into the house and tied him to a chair. Xi Junyu knew that resistance was useless, so he could only sit on the chair as if appointed.
The passage of time was dull and boring. I don't know how long it had passed, but suddenly there was movement outside the door. It was Su Tan'er.
Without waiting for Xi Junyu to call for help, Su Taner, dressed in a black dagger and holding a dagger in her hand, pushed open the door and entered.
"Tan'er... my boss..."
Xi Junyu suddenly found that the figure in front of him was a little cold and unfamiliar. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Su Tan'er sighed and said, "Brother Jun Yu, this may be the last time I call you that."
With that said, Su Tan'er walked to the chair with a cold look: "Why are you doing this?"
Xi Junyu frowned and looked confused: "What are you asking? I don't know what you want to ask."
Su Tan'er said word for word: "Assassinate my father and steal the formula.
Xi Junyu blinked and looked innocent: "How is that possible? Where did you hear that?"
Su Tan'er sighed: "Admit it, you can't slander me."
A thin layer of sweat formed on Xi Junyu's forehead, and he quickly said: "I know you messed up the Imperial Business Conference, and all rights may be taken away in the next clan conference. I know you are not willing to accept it. We can think about it together.
There is no need to listen to hearsay and act like crazy, I will help you."
Su Tan'er shook her head: "It seems that you haven't gotten the news yet, and your relationship with the Wu family is not as close as you imagined."
"You don't need to worry about the Su family's affairs. There won't be any commotion in the second and third bedrooms."
Xi Junyu said: "How is it possible? Things have reached this level. What else can you do? Unless the Wu family gives up the imperial business to the Su family again, even if Old Madam Su steps forward and forces you to take over, there will be no way to pass."
Su Tan'er shook her head: "It seems you really don't know anything..." She said word for word: "The Wu family's cloth has faded, and the cloth you made from the formula you stole has faded."
Xi Junyu's eyes widened: "The cloth has faded. Impossible, how could it fade?"
Su Tan'er sneered and said: "Why is it impossible? The cloth has already faded. I worked hard for several years, but everything came to nothing. I was just sad when I discovered your plot and had no choice but to take advantage of it."
Xi Junyu said: "You mean, the Wu family was deceived by you?"
Su Tan'er said: "That's right! The Wu family can't hand over the cloth, and they have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. They can only ask the Su family... He has confessed all the evildoers, including you."
Xi Junyu became anxious and shouted: "It's fake, it's all fake...you lied to me."
Su Tan'er sighed, shook her head, told Geng Huyuan to keep a close watch on her, and walked out. After all, the Xi Junyu in front of her was different from the one she knew when she was a child.
