The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Xie Shu pushed the stool away to let Yu Chuxi sit down, poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Can you tell me, Mr. Lang?"

Yu Chuxi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, took the tea but didn't drink it immediately, he put his finger on the cup and rubbed it unconsciously before saying: "Today Master Gu sent someone to resend the salt that I missed yesterday, After that it was business as usual..."

Hearing this, Xie Shu's mood was not relaxed. If he had just exposed it so simply, Lang Jun would not have shown this expression.

Yu Chuxi tapped the cup lightly, and sighed: "After that, I sent someone to another house to inquire about it, and only then did I know one thing, that is, this Eunuch Liu asked other salt merchants to donate money for it. The palace was built, but my family was not notified."

Hearing this, Xie Shuming came over, so that's the case, no wonder he felt something was wrong when he heard it just now.

Yesterday they found out about the fact that Eunuch Liu asked the salt merchant to donate money. It was not a good thing, no matter who it was, they were not happy about it.

But if everyone else has to do this, but there is one lucky guy who doesn't have to do it, what will the rest of the people think?

Xie Shu frowned and looked at Mr. Lang and said, "According to Mr. Lang, if other people know about this matter, what will they do?"

Yu Chuxi said slowly: "Xie Shu, let me tell you the truth. There are five families in the entire Jinling Salt Merchant. Although my Yu family's share is not the largest, it still accounts for [-]%. This is already eye-catching, but The Yu family has a deep foundation, even if someone covets it, they will weigh it carefully and dare not act rashly, not to mention that this shopping mall is like a battlefield. It's a common practice, but over the years, the strength of the major salt merchants has increased and decreased, among which the Su family has always wanted to go further. If this matter gets out, they will definitely unite in private to deal with me..."

Hearing this, Xie Shu could almost imagine the scene described by Mr. Lang. At the same time, Xie Shu still had some scruples. He still didn't know whether the idea of ​​asking salt merchants for donations to build a palace was the emperor's idea. If it was really the emperor's intention, then alone What will happen to the Yu family who don't donate money?

It's just that there is no conclusion on this matter, Xie Shu doesn't want to say it now.

At this moment, Yu Chuxi took a sip of tea and said with a sneer on the corner of his lips, "I won't let this matter go like this. I don't believe that no one wants the money I sent, but some money will be hot to hold." ..."

After Yu Chuxi finished speaking, he suddenly took a peek at Xie Shu, then stopped, and did not continue.

Although Xie Shu didn't know what idea Lang Jun came up with, he didn't ask, but calmed Yu Chuxi softly and said: "Mr. one side."

Yu Chuxi frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said with some concern: "Then Eunuch Liu deliberately targeted you like this. If you really come to see him, you must be careful, and he may become more successful..."

Xie Shu shook his head and smiled slightly: "I didn't come to see him, but asked him to come to the Yamen to meet me."

This time, in order to donate to the palace, all major salt merchants bleed a lot, and each of them gave 10 taels of silver. My heart ached.

However, these salt merchants were very happy, not only because they knew that the palace was built for the current emperor, but also because they knew that the Yu family had somehow offended the Jiangnan supervisor. Eunuch Liu of the Southern Tour.

This Eunuch Liu is not even willing to meet the people sent by the Yu family, let alone the issue of this month's Yanyin.

If the Yu family is no longer a salt merchant, then not only will they be able to take a large share of the market left by the Yu family, but the rest of the Yu family's business firms can also slowly eat away at it. After all, the salt industry is the main source of income for the rich merchants in Jinling. As the basic support of huge funds, the salt industry is also unsustainable.

They don't care what kind of Confucian disciple the husband-in-law of the Yu family's young master is. At this time, it won't work even if the king of heaven comes.

So after the major salt merchants went back, they had already prepared their subordinates and scrambled to seize the territory of the Yu family. Who knew that the next day, they were all dumbfounded. I was doing business all the time, and only after I asked this question did I know that the Yu family also got Yanyin!

At this moment, all the major salt merchants exploded in an instant.

This is 10 taels of silver in vain!

Why does Guangyu's family not have to pay anything, they try every means to please Eunuch Liu, not to mention, they still want to offer everything!

Of course, these salt merchants didn't dare to ask Mr. Gu for an explanation, let alone ask Eunuch Liu to get them back, so they all focused on the Yu family, and the Su family was the most active among them.

The Su family used to be Huizhou merchants. Since the salt law in Daqing was changed to Nayin, salt merchants from all walks of life in the northwest region have come to Huaiyang region to take root in business.

The Su family was originally a giant of Huizhou merchants, but when they came to Jinling, they could only be inferior to a few, how aggrieved they felt?

Fortunately, the Su family has a good relationship with the government. After coming and going, the operation has become an official business. Now the power in Jinling is getting stronger and stronger, only someone needs to make way...

Originally, the Su family didn't want to confront the Shangyu family, so if the Yu family was in charge of that Yu Wanchun, they wouldn't have to worry about it. They took advantage of Yu Wanchun before, but they fell into Yu Chuxi's hands.

Of course, now, they don't need to spend much effort, it can be said that they are falling asleep and have a pillow.

The Su family moved very quickly, and within a few days, they discussed with the major salt merchants when to do it, and how to divide up the Yu family after that.

Just when the news of the Yu family was getting hot these days, Xie Shu also got a reply from the yamen, saying that Eunuch Liu was coming to deal with the guard today.

This is Xie Shu's second visit to this yamen. When he arrived, Eunuch Liu hadn't come yet. Today, the prefect Wan Linming also has other affairs to be busy. Only the little official named Li Ming was there to make a cup for him. tea.

Xie Shu recognized him, so he asked: "Brother Li, please ask me one thing, what news did the thief who followed my servant find out?"

Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, obviously he knew something, but he didn't tell the truth directly, he just smiled and said: "It's not convenient for me to talk about this matter, it hasn't been finalized yet."

But Li Ming glanced at him, and said with a hint of tone: "After all, this matter is about this Eunuch Liu, and it depends on his intentions, but I don't think this Eunuch Liu seems to want to protect him."

After hearing this, Xie Shu had a clear idea. After thanking Li Ming, he continued to wait for him in the hall.

A while after the scheduled time, Eunuch Liu arrived late.

I saw that although this Eunuch Liu came to the yamen to do business, he was very ostentatious, followed by a few majestic guards. He was wearing the formal official uniform of a fifth-rank eunuch, and a Qin Liangyu python suit, which is also considered one of the palace products. A rarity.

Eunuch Liu glanced at Xie Shu with his slender eyes, and his tone couldn't tell whether it was good or bad: "You are Xie Shu?"

Neither humble nor overbearing, Xie Shu said calmly: "Exactly, Xie Shu met Eunuch Liu."

Eunuch Liu glanced at him up and down, then waved away the crowd, and suddenly showed a self-confident smile: "Before we came to Jinling, our family heard that Mr. Jiang had taken in a high-ranking apprentice, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation. In the capital, our family admired Mr. Jiang's integrity, but it's a pity that the inner garden of the former dynasty is not in the same place, and we have never had the chance to see it, which is really a pity."

Hearing Eunuch Liu's almost friendly words, Xie Shu did not relax a little because of the change in the other party's attitude. This Eunuch Liu's attitude was confusing, and it seemed that he was not the same person as the third prince behind him, but Xie Shu One thing I know is that this person is definitely not a kind person. As for the admiration he said, it can only be overheard. With the character of the teacher, he will probably dismiss it when he hears it.

Therefore, Xie Shu didn't answer the conversation, let alone say something like introduction.

Eunuch Liu's eyes sank slightly, it was the first time he had seen such an ungodly person.He is now a fifth-rank official and an imperial envoy, even Gu Zhong or Lin Wanming, who are one level above him, are polite to him, but who is this Xie Shu?

Although he became Jiang Hong's disciple, it was only a matter of a few days, not to mention that Xie Shu should be asking him for something at this moment.

However, Eunuch Liu saw Xie Shu's cold expression and unique temperament, and he thought again in his heart. The reason why this person was accepted by Jiang Hong was also somewhat extraordinary. In addition, Eunuch Liu had seen his paintings before, so he cherished this talent. Therefore, Eunuch Liu just turned cold and said: "Let's talk about business now, you know now that Zhou Ming is from our family, but this matter has nothing to do with our family, but our family doesn't mind revealing some inside information." for you."

Xie Shu didn't move when he heard this, he just looked up at Eunuch Liu and smiled slightly: "Eunuch Liu, I already know the reason for this matter, so naturally I won't blame Eunuch Liu."

Eunuch Liu didn't expect Xie Shu's reaction to be so flat, and he claimed to know the reason, but ordinary people know that the prince did it, and they can still remain so calm.

Therefore, Eunuch Liu's eyes were fixed, with a look of half-belief.

Suddenly, Eunuch Liu said with a displeased face: "So, our family is still troubled, but you can hold your breath. Seeing your husband is being bullied every step of the way, you still have the leisure to come here to ask for a cup of tea. .”

Xie Shu saw the other party's sudden attack, but he was not afraid at all. He looked directly into the other party's eyes and said, "Eunuch Liu, the next time I come here, I made a special trip to remind my father-in-law. It is the sword hanging from the neck."

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he flew into a rage. Huo De smashed the cup in his hand, and said coldly: "Xie Shu, you are so brave! How dare you joke like that in front of me! "

At this time, the people outside heard the noise and had already filed in, staring at Xie Shu covetously.

But Xie Shu remained unhurried, and smiled at Eunuch Liu: "Eunuch Liu must know whether this is a joke."

From Eunuch Liu's attitude just now, Xie Shu could tell that he and the third prince Shao Zhen were not of the same mind.But since this is the case, how could Gu Zhong and Eunuch Liu reach such an agreement on the construction of the palace?

In addition to the common interests of the two, it means that they have also reached an agreement, but this agreement was reached in private, not because of the emperor's order, otherwise Gu Zhong could go to battle in person. After all, building the emperor's palace is also a credit. But they are not willing to let out even a little wind.

But Eunuch Liu is far away in the capital, how could he negotiate with Gu Zhong in such a short time?Unless there is a matchmaker behind them, Xie Shu guesses that this person is the third prince Shao Zhen!Only Shao Zhen can convince Gu Zhong and Eunuch Liu at the same time.

As for colluding with the third prince, Eunuch Liu must also know that it is equivalent to handing over a handle to the other party. Doing so will indeed make Eunuch Liu more important to the third prince, but since the teacher once told him Well, Eunuch Liu certainly knows the character of the third prince, so doesn't Eunuch Liu have any other thoughts in mind?

This point is the breaking point!

Eunuch Liu stared at him, and after his eyes changed a few times, he finally waved his hands to make everyone retreat.

After everyone left, Eunuch Liu said coldly: "Xie Shu, if you don't tell our family what's good or bad today, you won't even think about going back."
