Li Wenliang lost a lot of weight. He handed the horse's reins to his cousin Li Wenhua. When his father Li Shikuan came out of the house, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's a bit urgent."
"Wash up first." Li Shikuan looked at his son's sweaty face.
Aunt Tang first brought out a copper pot of hot water, then hurriedly fried a plate of rice cake slices, sprinkled a handful of red marshmallows, brewed a pot of tea and brought it to the main room.
Li Wenliang ate a piece of rice cake first and said vaguely: "Awu came to me and handed Anan's message."
"Eat something first, no matter how anxious you are, you won't be in a hurry now." Li Shikuan motioned to his son to eat the rice cake first.
Li Wenliang ate most of the plate of rice cakes in one go, drank tea, and then continued: "Grandma asked us to harvest autumn silkworm cocoons, and we can harvest as many as we can."
Li Shikuan frowned slightly.
"He also said that there are tens of thousands of families operating weaving mills at the Jiangnan Silk Head Office, and not all of them are willing to stop work and go out of business. As the business goes out for a long time, all kinds of thoughts come up, and they say let us figure it out." Li Shikuan breathed a sigh of relief, "These few words are important!"
"My son thinks so too." Li Wenliang smiled.
"That's all?" Li Shikuan asked.
Li Wenliang nodded, "That's all."
Li Shikuan hummed, squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Grandma gave us a message, but these words are not necessarily Grandma's words."
Li Wenliang was stunned for a moment before reacting, "What do you mean, daddy?"
"Yeah!" Li Shikuan said with great certainty, and then sighed, "Autumn silkworm cocoons are not a small number."
"I saw a mulberry field on the way back, so I took a detour and asked. They said that last season's autumn silkworm cocoons yielded 38 copper coins per kilogram of fresh cocoons, and one acre of mulberry yielded about twenty-three or four kilograms of fresh cocoons."
After Li Wenliang finished speaking, he frowned.
This is really not a small amount.
"Autumn silkworms are about to swarm, so we need to hurry up. Go to Pingjiang City and ask A-nan if there is anyone she can entrust to help us keep an eye on harvesting autumn silkworm cocoons.
This is not just a matter of money." Li Shikuan explained to his son and stood up, "Take out all our money and I will go find your uncle."
"The lobby uncle's family has a lot of money, but the lobby uncle?" Li Wenliang stood up.
"It's true, your uncle is a heroic man. By the way, when you come back from Pingjiang City, you go to Kunshan County and tell this matter to that old fox of the Hong family. He has told you that no matter how big or small the matter is,
, we can’t leave him behind." Li Shikuan waved his hand to his son to hurry up, and walked towards the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

Yu Chengfu drove his horse all the way to Wangfu Bieye outside the city. He came out of Biye and went straight to Linhai Town. He met President Shi Shunshundang and got a few words of advice from Huang Xianzhou. He got out and mounted his horse and went straight to Pingjiang City. He just entered
When I got home, I didn't even have time to drink tea. An old servant came in and announced that Mr. Li asked if his master was there.
When Yu Chengfu heard about the Li family, he hurriedly ran out to greet him and let Li Wenliang into the main room.
Yu Chengfu had a lot of things to deal with at the moment, and Li Wenliang had so many things to worry about. The two of them didn't exchange much greetings, and settled the business in a few words. Li Wenliang said goodbye, got on his horse and went straight to Kunshan County. Yu Chengfu
Fu told his wife to ask his brother-in-law to come over and wait for him at home. He hurried out and went straight to Chairman Shi's house.
Yu Chengfu met Chairman Shi's daughter-in-law, the eldest wife of the Shi family, and Chairman Shi's eldest son. He then met Chairman Shi. Chairman Shi seemed to be doing well. He also talked about a few words about the case revealed by Huang Xianzhou, and then moved on.
Following Chairman Shi’s words, I entrusted the affairs of Pingjiang Silk Shop to him.
"... It is said that the cases involving human life are tried first. Anyone with a human life case on their hands will not survive this trip. It is said that the Crown Prince has said that the law must be marched!"
Yu Chengfu's suppressed voice was filled with panic.
The eldest wife of the Shi family turned pale. She reached out and grabbed her son's hand, trembling her lips and saying, "Your father..."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there are no lives on my brother's hands." Yu Chengfu hurriedly answered.
The eldest wife of the Shi family breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
"After the human life case has been concluded, it is said that the money matter will be tried. The money accounts of our Pingjiang Silk Shop have to be settled on the eldest brother. Who makes the eldest brother the president?" Yu Chengfu continued.
.
"Then the money was given to the head office, to the government, to this and that. We took out the money, so why is it a crime?" Mrs. Shi's family couldn't understand.
"It's said that the head office spent a lot of money to bribe the government, saying it was meddling in the government." Yu Chengfu's voice was very low.
"What is interfering in government affairs?" The eldest wife of the Shi family didn't understand, and looked at her son and asked.
"It's almost like a rebellion." Master Shi's explanation was concise and to the point.
The eldest wife of the Shi family almost breathed out of fright.
"Mr. Huang said a few words, saying that the amount found so far is the smallest, and the eldest brother has to be exiled to the north." Yu Chengfu glanced at Young Master Shi, and he was very satisfied with Young Master Shi's explanation.
Satisfied.
"Then how can your elder brother survive?" Mrs. Shi burst into tears.
"I have been looking for a way out since my eldest brother was taken in. No matter what, I saved my eldest brother and now I finally have some connections. It is also because of these connections that I got to meet my eldest brother today." Yu Chengfu said lowly.
Tao.
"As long as I can save your eldest brother..." Mrs. Shi's wife began to cry.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Nowadays, we can no longer listen to the mercy of the Silk Head Office. We have to have our own ideas. We can't care whether our elder brother lives or lives." Yu Chengfu frowned.
"What do you think we should do?" Mrs. Shi's wife choked.
"Our weaving workshop in Pingjiang should be whatever it is. Let me go to the hometowns of some of the weaving shops and persuade them." Yu Chengfu looked at Master Shi.
"Have you really met my father?" Master Shi asked.
"Well, I'll think of a way to see if I can let you visit your father." Yu Chengfu was very straightforward.
"How about waiting until I meet my father?" Master Shi looked at his mother-in-law and said.
"Brother, with all due respect, your father is being held in a military camp in Linhai Town. So far, have you ever heard of any family that has the ability to go in and visit?
"As I said just now, I finally found a way to a different business in the palace. Today I have received the grace to meet your father. If the eldest brother wants to meet your father, then it depends on how we do it. Whether we have the intention or not, we have the ability.
No.
"Your father is on someone else's chopping block. Is this something we can bargain over?" Yu Chengfu's words were extremely rude.
"Uncle Yu is right, your father is on someone's chopping block. No matter what, you have to save your father." The eldest wife of the Shi family looked at her son and said.
Young Master Shi's face turned slightly green after what Yu Chengfu said, and he reluctantly said hello.
Uncle Yu of his has never dared to be so rude to him. However, the Shi family is in trouble right now, and people's hearts are like this.
"I've been running around and bumping into walls these days. I'm really anxious. I spoke in a hurry. Don't worry, brother." Yu Chengfu looked at Young Master Shi and bowed slightly to explain.
"Thank you for running so hard." The eldest wife of the Shi family thanked her sincerely.
"Uncle Yu is also doing it for my father, how can I care about this. Let's go now?" Young Master Shi felt better, but he felt unspeakably awkward and uncomfortable.
Things are different now, he thought, but he's not used to it yet.
"Okay." Yu Chengfu stood up, said goodbye to the eldest wife of the Shi family, and went out with the eldest son Shi, heading to the nearest Xing's hometown.
