After being reminded by Zhuge Yi, the patriarch Cheng made the red clay business a bright line, and the north and south goods sales business as a dark line.He personally controlled the bright line, strengthened the governance of Cheng's terracotta mines, and added a big shopkeeper to the shop that sold the terracotta, all of whom were his secretly cultivated henchmen.The dark line is shielded by Mrs.
Cheng, and the patriarch Cheng is behind the scenes.The traffickers of the southern and northern goods handed over the account books to Mrs.
Cheng, and then the Cheng patriarch returned them to Mrs.
Cheng after applying for inspection, and appointed the traffickers to do the business of the north and south currency through the mouth of Mrs.
Cheng.As the saying goes: good men don't fight women.Patriarch Cheng's move moved flowers and trees, pushing Mrs.
Cheng to the forefront to resist the joint pressure of Patriarch Mo and Patriarch Wu, not only did not ruin her reputation, but aroused the fighting spirit of the Cheng clan.Thinking that Mrs.
Cheng and a woman dare to go out of the house to defend themselves against the fierce situation, how can the rulers and sons of the side branches of the Cheng clan lose to a woman?
Throughout the 100-year history of the Cheng clan, in addition to the first, third and sixth generations of the Cheng clan people working together to carry it forward, the remaining dozens of generations of the Cheng clan are infighting, so that the ancestral industry of the Cheng clan fell into the hands of the Cheng patriarch only forty percent, and the status of the Cheng clan in Ciyu Town fell to the top three.Mrs.
Cheng was originally the daughter of a businessman, and she had a lot of ideas about doing business since she was a child.She is not bound by the status hierarchy and treats the traffickers equally.The traffickers gradually liked Mrs.
Cheng, who had a bold personality and was spicy.The Cheng clan's north-south goods business is becoming more and more prosperous, in contrast, the Wu clan's north-south goods business is dismal and loss-making, and many shopkeepers have run to the Wu patriarch to complain.The Wu patriarch, who was raising a leg injury at home, was originally waiting for the good news that the Cheng clan was crushed, but who knew that it was his Wu clan that was the first to collapse?
The Wu patriarch gritted his teeth and sent someone to the Mo patriarch to discuss.Who knew that Patriarch Mo left Ciyu Town one step ahead of time and left a letter for him before leaving.The housekeeper sent a letter to the Wu patriarch to read, saying, "The people sent by the Mo patriarch are resting in the west courtyard, are you invited to come?"
”The Wu patriarch rubbed his forehead, burned the letter in a charcoal brazier, and said, "There is no need to come to see you.Patriarch Mo said in the letter that he was looking for an old friend to help us.Before he returns, the person he sent will help me to suppress the four clans of Cheng Sidian Yan.It seems that Patriarch Mo is determined to destroy them. ”The housekeeper pondered carefully and said, "Patriarch Mo only sent one person to help, which seems to be too weak. ”"Call the man."
Patriarch Wu instructed the housekeeper to invite someone, and he wondered if Patriarch Mo hurriedly went to find an old friend, who was that old friend?
There is a vague feeling of being deceived.The housekeeper invited a middle-aged man with a stupid appearance, and after seeing the Wu patriarch saluting, he stopped talking.Patriarch Wu looked at the man and asked, "Patriarch Mo sent you to help me, what did you do?"
”"The patriarch will hand over all the sixty shops of the Mo clan to the contemptible people, and the contemptible people hope that the Wu patriarch will also hand over the seventy shops of the Wu clan."
The middle-aged man's expression was flat, and his stupid appearance did not have a trace of the cunning of a businessman.The Wu patriarch has always judged people by their appearance, and when he heard the man say this, he couldn't help laughing and mocked: "This brother, it's not that I look down on you, but that your cowhide has been blown up."
Who is Patriarch Mo, how can he put his entire wealth and life in your hands?
Hahaha, are you easy to deceive when I am a three-year-old child?
”The middle-aged man was not angry, took out a stack of land deeds and house deeds from his arms, and handed them to the Wu patriarch for reading by the housekeeper."
A total of one hundred and twenty sheets, all of which are shops of the Mo clan.Patriarch Wu, you have to keep your eyes open and see clearly. ”When he got a stack of deeds and read it, the smile of the Wu patriarch became more and more stiff, and finally he couldn't make any sound in his throat.His heart was beating like thunder, and his mind echoed "Impossible!"
No way!
”The negative voice, but the Kiko seen with his own eyes is real."
Patriarch Mo really trusts you so much?""
Or else?"
The middle-aged man stepped forward and took a stack of deeds and stuffed them back into his arms.He was neither humble nor arrogant, and raised his head and said with disdain: "If Patriarch Wu doesn't have the courage to fight with the four clans of Cheng Sidian Yan, the contemptible people can go to Patriarch Yan."
I believe that Patriarch Yan will be more interested and willing to cooperate with Patriarch Mo. ”"Nope."
The Wu patriarch jumped out of bed excitedly regardless of his leg injury, grabbed the middle-aged man who turned around and wanted to leave, and said to the housekeeper, "Bring the deed of the Wu clan." ”The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said: "Patriarch Mo said to the contemptible people: Suppressing the four major clans with the power of the nest, are you still afraid that there will be no days of success?"
”"Yes.What Brother Mo said is. ”The Wu patriarch's heart was beating more and more violently, and he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.Although he said that he could trust a middle-aged man, the Wu patriarch still chose his confidant and shopkeeper to carry the deed.The middle-aged man did not object, and bluntly said that the people appointed by the Wu patriarch could not prevent him from suppressing the four major clans, and the Wu patriarch would ensure that his people would not exceed the rules.The middle-aged man left the Zhongzheng Mansion of the Wu clan, and he was accompanied by the confidant shopkeeper of the Wu patriarch.Where they went, no one knows; What the two did, no one knows; No one knows what method the two used to pressure the four major clans.After five days of waiting day and night for the Wu patriarch, the earth-shattering news finally came out from Ciyu Town: the porcelain kiln mine of the Cheng, Si, Dian, and Yan clans collapsed, and the number of dead and injured was unknown.If it was just an accident in the red pottery cellar of the Cheng clan, the people of Porcelain Yu Town would still think that it was a natural disaster, but the porcelain kilns of the four major clans had accidents one after another, and the people with a little brain guessed that it was a man-made disaster.The red pottery kilns of the Cheng clan suffered heavy losses, followed by the porcelain kilns of the Si clan, and the kilns of the Dian clan and the Yan clan were not large and were mostly seriously injured.At night, the patriarch of Si invited the three patriarchs of Cheng, Dian and Yan to discuss how to deal with the casualties in the kiln.Patriarch Si sat on the main seat and sighed for a long time, saying, "The business of the Cheng clan has been pressured by the Wu clan, and it is not a loss but a profit.But we don't have that luck, recently we have been robbed of business by Mo's and Wu's people one after another, and we will fight if we are slightly dissatisfied.Half of our business has been lost, and if it continues, I'm afraid ......
Alas!
”The upright patriarch scolded: "Patriarch Mo and Patriarch Wu don't dare to go against Feng Xiannu and Zhuge Zibo, so they secretly manipulate us.Hum!
Two old horsemen are really not a thing. ”Patriarch Yan patted Patriarch Dian's shoulder and reminded: "Be careful that the wall has ears."
If it reaches their ears, we will suffer in the end. ”The patriarch gritted his teeth and squeaked, and slammed his fist on the table to vent his anger.Patriarch Si sighed abruptly and said, "I have a way to avoid the sharp edge of the Mowu and Wu clans, but ......
Alas!
I'm afraid of provoking the misunderstanding between Feng Xiannu and Zhuge Zibo, saying that we are ruthless and unrighteous. ”Patriarch Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "In order to save our family, we can only wronged them.Brother Si, make up your mind and temporarily cut off the relationship with Feng Xiannu. ”Patriarch Si bowed his head: "That's the only way." ”Patriarch Yan said helplessly: "We are also forced to forgive, I hope they can forgive." ”Patriarch Dian was indignant, but he knew that Patriarch Si and Patriarch Cheng's decision was right.They are not only members of the same clan, but also shoulder the livelihood of the whole clan.They can go hungry, but the people can't.Patriarch Si decided, "Okay.We split up and spread the news of the severance with Feng Xiannu.Let's hope they don't blame us. ”"I'll go to Ampai right away."
Patriarch Cheng got up and said goodbye to Patriarch Si, and hurried back and forth.Patriarch Yan and Patriarch Dian also said goodbye to Patriarch Si and went their separate ways.() Glory to the end
