Hearing this, all the clan elders lowered their heads.
Over the years, they have made a lot of money from their master's family, but compared to the real money and silver that the master's family has stored in more than a dozen warehouses, theirs is just a drop in the bucket, and it is impossible not to be jealous.
The third uncle took the initiative to break up with the master's family. If someone takes the lead, the clan elders will naturally be happy to follow.
If they succeed, they will get enough wealth from the master's family to last several lifetimes, and they will laugh out of their dreams.
If they don't succeed, the third uncle in the family, the eldest in the family, will hold up the sky when it falls. Even Gu Yimo, a boy, wouldn't dare to do anything to their elders. After all, the Gu family's big business is still being looked after by them.
They also thought that if the master's family took a tough stance on the separation of the family and caused a huge quarrel with the third uncle, they would come out to be peacemakers and ask the master's family to give them more bonuses to calm the matter.
In short, it is of great benefit to them to separate whether the family is successful or not.
I never expected that this kid Gu Yimo would beat his cousin until he was as bloody as a bloody gourd without saying a few words. It looked like a man like that was probably a loser.
He also dared to throw the tea cup at his third uncle, which was really treasonous and his relatives did not realize that he could be so cold-blooded and cruel.
They looked at the third uncle who was so frightened that he was slumped on the imperial chair, trembling all over. They also saw the bloody handkerchief stained with blood on the ground. They were really afraid that Gu Yimo would rush over and beat them up too.
There was silence in the hall for a long time, and the dull atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Gu Yimo looked at everyone with stern eyes: "Since there is no need to separate the family, I declare that I will take over all the business in Hui Bo Sheng's hands, and I will arrange for someone else to manage it. My third uncle is not in good health, and I can't bear to do it."
He is working so hard, so from now on the third uncle’s share will be temporarily taken care of by the fifth uncle.”
"Haha, eldest nephew, don't worry, I will take care of it for you." Uncle Wu slapped his chest and smiled so hard that his teeth almost disappeared.
Gu Yimo glanced sideways at his fifth uncle, and said coldly: "After today's incident, don't think that I don't know what your plans are, let alone want to imprison my father and me with family affection. You are not worthy of mentioning the word family affection."
.
Merchants value profits. You are useful if you can make profits for me and my son. Don’t think that the Gu family’s business can’t survive without you. Whoever I give a lot of money to will be able to work hard for me. Weigh how much you have.
, if there is anyone who stirs up trouble, then go grab food from the beggars on the street."
The fifth uncle smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, the eldest nephew is wise, wise, and decisive in killing. With the eldest nephew leading the Gu family, it will be just around the corner to earn all the wealth in the world."
"Haha, Lao Wu said it well!"
Gu Quan stroked his beard, and after his son finished singing the blackface song, he looked at the panicked elders with a smile: "As the saying goes, everything will be prosperous when a family is united. My Gu family has a great cause, so we should be in harmony, so that we can manage it better."
All the wealth in the world has been earned. It’s rare that everyone can gather together today. Butler, hurry up and prepare a few tables. Let’s all have a good time.”
The clan elders all looked at Gu Quan and cupped their hands with coy smiles on their faces.
Gu Yimo bowed his hand to Gu Quan and said, "Father and uncles, let's get together. My son is still busy, so he won't have a drink with his elders."
After that, he turned around and left.
The clan elders saw him leaving with a gloomy face. They felt uncertain and looked at Gu Quan in panic.
Gu Quan smiled and waved to everyone: "Yi Mo is busy with business, so don't worry about him. I must not get drunk or come back today..."
Gu Yimo returned to the room and sat behind the desk with a gloomy look on his face.
Yun Chuan looked at him and shook his head and sighed, feeling unwilling to accept his master's responsibility, cursing Chu Zishan for not knowing how to be blessed amidst the blessings, let alone what to do...
He was even more convinced by Duke Zhou's words that Chu Zishan was a source of trouble.
As the sky darkened, Yun Chuan lit a candle, filling the room with warm light.
Gu Yimo raised his eyes and looked at Yun Chuan: "Zi Shan has cut off other people's financial opportunities. You should ask someone to keep an eye on the Minister of Household Affairs to prevent him from doing anything to harm Zi Shan."
Yun Chuan frowned: "Sir, she treated you like that, why are you helping her? You have such a proud temperament, but you are being bossed around by her. Seeing you humiliating yourself to please her, I want to kill this ignorant person.
Anyway..."
Gu Yimo glared at Yun Chuan: "When will I do things that please you?"
Yun Chuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yun Chuan doesn't dare. Yun Chuan said something wrong, please punish me."
Gu Yimo said coldly: "No one can comment on her. Get out and accept the punishment of thorns and whips. If you go overboard again, go back to Duke Zhou. You don't have to follow me anymore."
Yun Chuan pursed his thin lips tightly, suppressing his anger, and cupped his hands: "Yun Chuan doesn't dare anymore, so I'm going to receive the punishment." After that, he gave a big salute, stood up and walked out of the room.
After closing the door, Gu Yimo stared blankly at the flickering candlelight on the table and sighed sadly.
"She has a temperament that accepts soft things but not hard ones. If I'm so stubborn and they don't beat each other's heads, I can only give in and hope to win the beauty back. Oh, you heartless person, what will I do to you?"
What to do?"
Kyoto Tobe.
A servant hurried to the study of the Minister of Household Affairs and said: "I have met the Minister of Household Affairs. The housekeeper of your residence just now came to tell me that there is something urgent at home. Madam, please go back immediately."
The Minister of Household Affairs raised his head from the file and looked at the officer, nodded and said: "I understand, you can go down."
The servant bowed in response, turned around and walked out of the study.
The Minister of Household Affairs put down his brush and frowned. His wife would never let him go back for trivial matters.
I remember the last time my wife urgently called him home, it was ten years ago when my son had his leg cut off by Chu Zishan.
This time... my heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and I had a bad premonition.
He returned home half an hour later. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he could faintly hear his wife's cry. He frowned and walked a few steps into the hall.
"What happened at home..." As soon as he started to speak, he saw the boy kneeling in the hall, who was next to his wife's brother Wu Haoyu.
"Master, this is terrible. Haoyu has been caught. Selling smuggled salt is a serious crime of beheading. Please think of a way to save Haoyu. I am only such a younger brother..."
Mrs. Wu hurriedly walked towards her husband, crying very sadly.
The Minister of Household Affairs pushed Wu away, pointed at the boy angrily and asked: "Haoyu, did he get off the boat and visit the brothels again, causing trouble?"
The boy wiped the tears on his face and said with a sad face: "My lord scolded my uncle last time. How dare I go there? This time, my uncle really stayed on the official boat honestly. When I walked to Qianjiang River,
We were stopped by the training navy, and after waiting for a long time, we were not allowed to pass. The people on our boat had a few words with the navy, and the navy took action, and then they rushed onto the boat. After a while, they just
After discovering the salt in the bilge of the ship, I arrested my uncle and all of us and took us to the naval camp."
Hearing this, the Minister of Household Affairs was a little panicked: "How could this happen?"
"Master, it's not Haoyu's fault this time, you can't ignore him." Wu begged, pulling her husband's sleeves.
The Minister of Household Affairs patted his forehead and walked around thinking.
The Qianjiang River is the territory of the Navy Commander Zhang Dalong. The water transport of the Ministry of Finance normally passes through the Qianjiang River and has never been blocked. Even if a small friction occurs unexpectedly, it will not cause trouble in the bilge of the ship. This seems to be a premeditated and deliberate act.
Of.
The people on the Hubu water transport ship were all his cronies. It was no secret that he was smuggling salt, but if Zhang Dalong knew about it, his head would not be saved.
He suddenly turned around and pointed at the boy: "They have all been taken to the navy camp, so how can you come back? Did you recruit something from them?"
The boy waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I didn't say anything. We were imprisoned in the water prison all night, and no one paid attention to us. The next morning, I was taken to the camp by the sergeant and saw a general. I heard the sergeant
Call him, Governor, the general said, and asked me to send something to Miss Chu, the champion lord."
"What? Say it again." The Minister of Tobe grabbed the boy, his eyes widened with disbelief.
"The general asked me to deliver something to Miss Chu in the Champion House." The boy said in a trembling voice.
"Where is the thing?" asked the Minister of Tobe.
"Just, just, it's a bag of tea leaves." The boy took out a small bag of tea leaves from his arms and held it up to the Minister of Household Affairs: "I'm still confused. You asked me to carry something all the way, so I just brought these little tea leaves...
…”
The minister of household affairs took the tea bag and opened it. It was an ordinary bag of Pu'er. He sat down on the ground with a pale face.
"Chu Zishan, how could she know that there was illegal salt on the water transport ship, and she actually colluded with Zhang Dalong, ah, ah..."
He screamed wildly and tore the tea bag into pieces.
The boy picked up the splashing tea leaves in a panic: "Master, please don't tear them up. How can you send them to Miss Chu if they are torn? I feel that the Governor has a close relationship with Miss Chu, so let's go
Please, Miss Chu, please allow me to rescue my uncle."
"Chu Zishan?" Wu's eyes widened with hatred: "Chu Zishan from the Champion House, she is the evil woman who caused my son to break his leg. Now she wants to harm my brother again, Master,
This time, we will definitely not spare this bitch, I will cut her into pieces."
The Minister of Household Affairs shouted angrily, holding his head: "That girl found out about the smuggling of salt, and we are about to die."
Wu suddenly realized that the ferocious expression on her face turned into panic. She pulled her husband hard and said, "What should I do? Sir, please think of a way quickly and never let this bitch succeed."
"Shut up." The Minister of Hube shouted irritably, pushing Wu away, "Let me be quiet for a while, let me think..."
He tried his best to suppress his panic, calm down, and clear his mind bit by bit.
Zhang Dalong intercepted the water transport ship and discovered the illegal salt in the bottom of the ship. He did nothing else but asked the boy to return to Beijing alone to bring a bag of tea to Chu Zishan.
Obviously, Zhang Dalong asked him to find Chu Zishan.
A few days ago, Chu Zishan came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive his salary from the Marquis, but he sent someone to stop him. She said she would give him seven days, and he also laughed at Chu Zishan for not knowing how high the sky is.
Now think about it, this seven-day period is exactly the distance from Qianjiang to Kyoto.
Could it be that Chu Zishan already knew about his smuggling of salt? How could she know this?
And if it wasn't a dispute at the moment, how could she know that Chu Zishan's intention in intercepting his goods was to gain the salary of the champion.
He had to personally deliver the salary to the Marquis Mansion as she said... This time, he didn't dare to imagine how humiliated Chu Zishan would be. No matter what, he must satisfy this girl's request and must not let her
Expose the smuggling of salt, otherwise, not only will his career be ruined, but the whole family will suffer as well.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, bring me two sets of your most precious head and face..." This chapter has been completed!
