After coming out of the other courtyard, the sky had darkened, and Su Cheng also headed towards his mansion.
On the way, Su Cheng frowned. Was Shangguan Hao's appearance an accident or intentional?
Or, in other words, did the other party take action because of the grudge against his family, or because of the murder case, or both?
Also, Taifu Dugu Jingwei’s letter to himself only mentioned four forces and did not include Shangguan Hao. Why is this?
For a time, many questions appeared in Su Cheng's mind, and there were too many questions that could not be answered.
So many things suddenly became complicated after Shangguan Hao came out.
Su Cheng took a deep breath and suddenly felt Alexander.
There has been no progress in the case of the dead man so far, and now Shangguan Hao, who has a feud with him, has appeared. He suddenly feels that life in Liuzhou is better.
Here, there are only endless calculations, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed!
If he had a choice, he would rather be in Liuzhou with Shen Youwei.
Of course, now that he is here, he will not back down. Whether it is for himself or to protect Shen Youwei and others, he can only keep going forward!
As for Shangguan Hao, since the other party dares to take action, let's do it. He, Su Cheng, is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes!
While thinking, Su Cheng returned to the mansion.
Before entering the living room, Shen Youwei's voice came from inside: "What kind of bullshit did you take the post of chief minister and actually dare to suppress my Shen family cloth shop? Let's see if I don't slap him!"
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and walked in with a puzzled look on his face: "Madam, what made you so angry?"
In the hall, Shen Zhennan, the three uncles, Shen Xiangyang and others were all present. It seemed that the Shen family were discussing some important matter.
When Shen Youwei saw Su Cheng coming, she immediately stepped forward and hugged his arm: "Mr. sir, just now my second brother said that the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce has begun to suppress us. Not only has it purchased all the ice silk, it has also started to imitate silk stockings, and even wants to steal from us. Let’s dig people there while we’re there.”
"Forget it if there is fair competition, but they actually arrested the Weaver Girl's family members to threaten them to join the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce. If they don't agree, one of their family members will have a finger cut off every day!"
"Now the weaver girls here who know how to make silk stockings are in panic. They can't concentrate on making silk stockings at this time."
Su Cheng's expression changed when he heard this.
Shangguan Hao's actions were so fast. Only a few days later, the opponent made such quick moves. First, he made trouble in Shenjia Cloth Store and gained a bad reputation. Then he made his own imitation silk stockings and wanted to take over the business. He even made imitation stockings in order to achieve the goal. For the purpose, he actually used this method to threaten the Weaver Girls.
King Zhao is right, this person is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold light: "It seems that this person is determined to make things difficult for us. We cannot give in on this matter. Since they use this method, we cannot make it easy for them. "
"He Changsheng!"
"What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"
"Immediately summon people from the Ministry of Punishment to seal down the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce overnight. They have sealed off all the shops in the city. In addition, they will rescue the families of the Weaver Girls!"
"yes!"
The Ministry of Punishment still has great power, and there are people from the Ministry of Punishment who are responsible for intelligence in the city. It is not difficult to know where the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce will keep the people they arrest.
Shen Youwei looked at Su Cheng, who looked domineering, and suddenly gave a thumbs up: "My husband is really powerful, and I can't stand those guys. If there is a fight this time, you must call me over."
Su Cheng shook his head: "This matter can't end so easily. Since Shangguan Hao dares to take action against us, he must have anticipated all our actions. Will He Changsheng's seizure of Shangguan Chamber of Commerce have any consequences? I All I want is to save people."
Seize?
This kind of thing is of no use to Shangguan Hao. Even if it is sealed, the other party will still open the door for business. The other party is not afraid of him, Su Cheng!
He is a foreign prince with no real power in Kyoto. Judging from Shang Guanhao's decades of operation in Kyoto, the other party will not give him this face at all.
This seizure is just his attitude. He wants to announce to everyone: Shangguan Hao is going to kill him!
Only by making the matter bigger and bringing it to the emperor's side can he have a chance of winning.
Without power, the emperor is his power!
Without a backer, the emperor is his backer!
Anyway, the emperor also wants to use him to disrupt the situation in Kyoto. Isn't this a ready opportunity?
At this time, Shen Zhennan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "This matter... should we forget it? We are no match for them. No one dares to sell the raw material of ice silk to us now. .”
Without ice silk, they can't make stockings, and they can't gain a foothold in Kyoto. If they still have a conflict with the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce under this situation, they have no chance of winning.
What's more, Shangguan Chamber of Commerce has been run by Shangguan Hao for so many years and has spread all over Daliang. As long as the news about Shangguan Chamber of Commerce spreads, who will dare to do business with Shenjia Cloth Village in the future?
At this moment, Shen Zhennan saw the reality clearly. They were no match for Shangguan Hao. It would be too easy for someone to kill them.
Although Shen Zhennan really wants to promote Shenjia Clothing Village, if they don't give up in this situation, they may die here.
Since Shangguan Hao was so unscrupulous, he would probably do the same to them in the future. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge hidden arrows and it is difficult to defend against them. How could they be Shangguan Hao's opponents?
But Shen Youwei was not happy when she heard this, and her mouth suddenly pouted.
She looked at Shen Zhennan with a look of dissatisfaction: "Dad, how can you say that? There is no ice silk here. We can transport it from other places. Although it will take a little longer, at least the Shen family cloth village can be maintained. As long as If we solve the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce, nothing will be a problem!"
Shen Zhennan smiled bitterly: "Girl, things are not as simple as you think. The Shangguan Chamber of Commerce has trained many people. If there really is a fight, we are no match for them. How can you fight a thousand or ten thousand by yourself?" One?"
Shen Youwei snorted coldly and was about to refute!
But at this time, Su Cheng suddenly reached out to stop her: "Madam, what father said makes sense. We can't start a fight with the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce head-on now. We must save people first."
Shen Youwei frowned: "Is this the case?"
Su Cheng shook his head: "Of course we can't just let it go. We will rescue the people tonight, and I will make a request to His Majesty tomorrow. I want to train the soldiers. Only with a force of our own can we compete with the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce!"
Shen Youwei's eyes lit up: "Really? Your Majesty will let us have soldiers?"
Su Cheng chuckled: "It all depends on whether the conditions I give can make His Majesty happy!"
