The housekeeper did not speak, but looked at the great elder. This matter was beyond his ability to handle, and only the great elder could solve it.
The Great Elder stood up and said with great dignity: "Come on, let me go and see who dares to do such a thing. He really takes the courage out of his ambition!"
"Yes, Great Elder!" The two bowed and replied.
By the time the elder arrived at the iron shop, the long table originally used to identify things had been overturned, and the clerk guarding the shop and several guards from Changsun's family had also been beaten with bruises and swollen faces.
Seeing this scene, the great elder's face turned dark. This was not a slap in the face, but a slap in the face of his Changsun Mansion.
"Who, who did this? Do you have the courage to do it, but don't have the courage to stand up?" the great elder said, scanning the people around him.
"We did it, but it was your people who made the move first. We just fought back, but the Changsun family is really weak. They cried for father and mother all the time without doing anything, just like a mother-in-law. ." A young man who was not very old stood up and said.
There were seventeen people behind him, all of whom looked at the great elder with disdain.
"Bold! The people who beat me dare to be arrogant here. Let me take them down. I want to see who dares to be arrogant in the territory of my eldest grandson's family!" the elder said solemnly.
Following the instructions of the great elder, dozens of Changsun Mansion guards who followed him surrounded the eighteen people, and pressed forward step by step to narrow the encirclement.
Facing these guards from the Changsun Mansion, the eighteen people were not afraid. They drew out the long knives from their waists and formed a strange formation to prepare.
"Where did these boys come from? How dare you yell at the Changsun family? Isn't this looking for death?"
"The person who spoke must be the elder of the Changsun Mansion. These boys will be in trouble now!"
"Who says it's not the case, but the Changsun Mansion is really overbearing. If they disagree, they will arrest people. If you want to say they are arrogant, they are even more arrogant!"
"Who calls this family the eldest grandson? They have the arrogance to do anything. Who can do anything to them?"
"I don't agree with this. Changsun Wuji is on his last legs. The Changsun family is at the end of its rope. Once Changsun Wuji goes west, I'm afraid the good days of the Changsun family will come to an end!"
The surrounding discussions did not stop the imminent battle. The onlookers were not optimistic about these eighteen young people who dared to provoke the Changsun family. After all, these eighteen people were too young. Even if they had some skills, how could they rely on the guards of the Changsun family? Discuss together!
However, the ending shocked everyone. The guards of the Changsun Mansion who besieged the eighteen young people were beaten to the ground by the eighteen young people in just a moment. None of the people who originally surrounded them could stand. With.
This result made everyone stunned, and they did not expect such a result at all.
Even the great elder and the steward were shocked and didn't know what to say.
"Who are you, how dare you run wild here?" After all, the Great Elder has experienced the storm, and he can tell at a glance that these eighteen people are of extraordinary origins, and he can tell at a glance the realm of these people, and they are all At the peak level of the Qi Sense Realm, he is so young and his level is still so high. Coupled with the weird formation just now, it is obvious that the person who came here is evil.
"Who are we? We are none of us. We are just here to exchange the money for buying pig iron from your eldest grandson's family. Who knew that not only did you not give us the money, but you also wanted to default on the debt and have people beat us. We just took action angrily." The young man stood up and said.
After hearing the young man's words, the great elder was angry, but he also knew that it was too late to find someone to deal with these young men. Now he could only adopt a conciliatory attitude and get over the matter first.
Thinking of this, the great elder turned to look at the shopkeeper and said, "Is what he said true? Did you take action against him?"
The shopkeeper opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Could he tell the elder that what he was exchanging was not small money, but scrap metal worth hundreds of thousands taels? Besides, the situation has been reported before, how could the Great Elder not know about it? Asking him now is just to find a way out and use him as a scapegoat. Otherwise, how can the great elder maintain his face?
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't say anything, the elder reprimanded: "Our eldest grandson's family does business based on trust. If something happens, my eldest grandson's family will bear the responsibility. If someone comes to exchange it, if it is really sold by my eldest grandson's family, exchange it for him." Just, what are you doing? You are so stupid!"
Regarding the reprimand of the great elder, the shopkeeper didn't dare to refute, he just bowed his head and kept silent, pretending to be an ostrich.
"Little brothers, this is all a misunderstanding. Just exchange whatever you have. My eldest grandson will keep his word and will never break his promise!" the elder said to everyone, cupping his fists.
This attracted applause from everyone, and the housekeeper couldn't help but give a thumbs up as he watched. The first elder is the first elder. Hundreds of thousands of taels, if it can make everyone change the reputation of the Changsun family, then this money Well worth the money spent.
The young man naturally heard the words of the great elder. He raised his brows and snorted softly: "Thank you very much. Our things are at the back. Please check them. If there is no problem, put them here." Give us the money!”
On a restaurant not far away, Luo Zhang stood in front of the top window of the restaurant, looking at everything below. Li Yifu stood aside respectfully.
"This great elder still has something. This can give him a solution. It seems that he has lost hundreds of thousands of taels, but he has restored some credibility. He is really an old fox that is difficult to deal with!" Luo Zhang muttered to himself. road.
"Sir, this is just the end of the war. When your iron-making shop opens, no matter how good their reputation is, they will be affected, and they will have to jump in a hurry!" Li Yifu replied respectfully.
"What you said is not bad, but we must win those mines before that. Without those mines, our iron smelting shop cannot continue to operate!" Luo Zhang said slowly.
"Counting the time, Liu Rengui will be back soon. The bargaining chip to win those mines is on his boat!"
Hearing Luo Zhang's words, Li Yifu also laughed. Who would have thought that Luo Zhang would ask Liu Rengui to transport a large amount of iron ore back by ship. There is ore in the north, and there is also a lot in the south. And the ore in the south is finer and not only better. Refining, and the refined iron is purer, this news is probably only known to future generations like Luo Zhang.
Besides, it’s useless even if people in the north know about it. Could it be that the iron ore was transported from the south? The transportation price is probably much more expensive than iron ore, which is not cost-effective at all!
A farce ended like this. Finally, under the auspices of the great elder, more than 300,000 taels were paid to eighteen young people, and the scrap metal they pulled was also verified to be correct, and the steward's heart was bleeding. , this is obviously someone doing something wrong, but they can't do anything about it.
Such an aggrieved thing had never happened to their eldest grandson's family. He couldn't help but think of the family head again, and his heart was filled with sadness.
After the eighteen people left, the great elder ordered people to follow them, hoping to see where these people came from and to find out who was behind them.
However, the people who were following him came back to report that they had lost him not long after leaving. This made the great elder so angry that he almost hit someone.
He has been very busy these days. The income of the Iron Refining Shop has been greatly affected. The money lost alone is more than two million taels, which can be said to be a heavy loss. If it weren't for the eldest son's family's great business, who could You can bear it, but it's not an option in the long run.
"Do you really want to go to Luofu to ask about Sun Simiao's whereabouts?" The elder sitting in the hall couldn't help but think of this matter.
Instinctively, he refused this matter, but to be honest, he also knew that he and the head of the family were incomparable. If today's matter was handled by the head of the family, it would have been a different outcome.
Sure enough, the storm is about to come!
Although I knew that the death of the family leader would have a great impact, I didn't expect it to be so big.
The housekeeper stood aside silently. He didn't know how to persuade the great elder to visit Luo Mansion. If the great elder got angry, he would not be able to bear the consequences and walk away.
If it continues like this, the Changsun Mansion may collapse before the day when the head of the family wakes up.
It's not often that people offer help in times of trouble and add the icing on the cake, and there are many who add insult to injury. How could those who were originally envious of the Changsun family let go of such a good opportunity?
