When Li Yuan and eldest grandson Nanqiao left, their faces were far less beautiful than when they came.
Li Ziye refused to eat soft and hard food, and refused to eat oil or salt, which really made the eldest grandson Nanqiao very angry.
Soon, the news that the eldest grandson Nanqiao was in trouble in Liyuan spread to the Yin family and the business alliance.
The three families were not aligned with each other to begin with, and the fact that the Li family's business was a piece of meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of made the three families seem to be at odds with each other.
If possible, the three families would all want to monopolize the opportunity to cooperate with the Li family and completely suppress the other two.
Late at night, in the merchant alliance, a fire burned brightly, illuminating half of the imperial city as bright as day.
In the Li Garden, Li Ziye, who was practicing swordplay under the moonlight, saw the fire in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curved in a dangerous arc.
The second brother finally started to take action.
The timing is right!
The next day, before dawn, half of the imperial city was in chaos.
The people from the merchant alliance broke into Yin's bank angrily and raised an army to investigate.
Because, among the goods burned last night, they found the waistband accidentally left by the Yin family.
Outside Yin's Bank, people were crowded around to see the excitement, all wanting to see what was going on.
They had also heard about the fire in the Merchant Alliance, but judging from the current situation, the matter seemed to be related to Yin's Bank.
"Everyone, everyone, be patient and don't be impatient. Be patient and don't be impatient."
In the Yin family bank, Yin Zhong, the old man of the Yin family who was about to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, was alarmed and walked out quickly with a cane.
"Mr. Yin, please give me an explanation!"
In front of the people who came to question the crime, the steward of the Merchant Alliance threw a waist badge with the word Yin on the ground and said angrily.
A young man stepped forward, picked up the badge, and respectfully handed it to the old man beside him.
Yin Zhong took the belt card with a gloomy expression. After a moment, he said, "The belt card does belong to my Yin family, but this fire was definitely not started by anyone from my Yin family. My old man dares to guarantee it with the Yin family's century-old reputation." , this matter was definitely not done by the Yin family!"
"Mr. Yin, our Merchant Alliance has lost so many goods, you can't shirk responsibility with just a few words!" the steward of the Merchant Alliance said angrily.
"Guanshi Yao."
Being wrongly accused for no reason, Yin Zhong looked a little worried and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
"What do you want? Of course I'll lose money!"
The manager of the merchant alliance said angrily, "I have already settled the account for you. The total is three hundred thousand taels. If you are short of one tael of silver, our merchant alliance will fight with your Yin family to the end!"
"Yes, fight to the end, the Yin family is too bullying!"
Among the people in the merchant alliance, an angry voice sounded. It was so sudden, but it aroused everyone's anger at the right time.
Looking over, he saw that he was a young man with beautiful features, bright eyes, handsome appearance, graceful demeanor and extraordinary temperament. He emerged from the mud without being stained, and he was clean without being evil.
If Li Ziye could add an adjective to his appearance, it would be a Xinhua dictionary.
However, at this time, no one had time to see what Li Ziye looked like.
"Yes, fight to the death! What a bully!"
One person lit a fire, and everyone broke out. Fanned by Li Ziye's "good intentions", everyone in the merchant alliance became agitated. The momentum was like a wave, and their emotions became more and more out of control.
In the crowd, Li Ziye shouted to help at the top of his lungs, his face red and his ears red. He looked even more excited than the people in the merchant alliance.
In front of everyone, the merchant alliance manager looked back at the young man who shouted loudest in the crowd, and gave him an appreciative look. This young man is good and very discerning.
After you go back, you must promote and promote!
"Have you heard that the goods burned last night were a gift from the Merchant Alliance to the Li family in Yuzhou City, worth 300,000 taels of silver, and now they have been set on fire by the Yin family. The Merchant Alliance has suffered heavy losses this time! "
"A meeting gift of three hundred thousand taels of silver? Is the business alliance so generous?"
"If we can win the opportunity to cooperate with the Li family, three hundred thousand taels is nothing. Besides, those goods are not completely free. However, these are not important anymore. The goods are gone. The merchant alliance wants to cooperate with the Li family. I’m afraid it’s not that easy anymore.”
"The Yin family is ruthless enough. I heard that the Yin family also wants to cooperate with the Li family this time. It is probably because they are afraid that the business alliance will come to the front, so they made this dirty move."
"Who says it's not the case? After suffering such a big loss, the Merchant Alliance will definitely not give up and just wait and see the good show!"
Outside Yin's Bank, people who had something to do were whispering to each other, one to one, then another to another. After a while, everyone on the street knew the "inside story."
Of course, this inside story was also spread by classmate Li Ziye.
In Yin's bank, Yin Zhong looked at the excitement inside and outside the bank, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
Trouble!
If this matter is not handled well, the reputation of his Yin Bank will be ruined.
Bank business relies on reputation. If the reputation is bad, who would dare to do business with Yin's bank!
Thinking of this, Yin Zhong suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the merchant alliance steward in front of him, and said in a harmonious voice, "Steward Yao, look at our Yin's Bank and your merchant alliance. We had no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently. How could we do something like this?" This kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself must be framed by someone, and I hope that Manager Yao will not be taken advantage of by others."
"Being taken advantage of? Are you saying that our manager Yao is being foolhardy?"
Before the director of the business alliance spoke, Li Ziye's voice sounded again in the crowd, stirring up discord.
"That is, if you commit a crime, you still want to shift the responsibility to others. If you dare to do it or not, we, Director Yao, will not be fooled by you!"
Suddenly, next to Li Ziye, a young man in Tsing Yi echoed.
Li Ziye and the young man in green looked at each other, then looked away at the same time.
Met a colleague!
They all come here to stir up trouble.
Sure enough, after the two of them started singing and stoking the flames, in front of everyone, the face of the merchant alliance steward turned ugly. He looked at the old man of the Yin family in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yin, the physical evidence is here, and you still want to quibble, right? Only if we go to the government to make trouble will Mr. Yin admit it!"
"Guanshi Yao."
Hearing that the government was about to be alerted, Yin Zhong's expression changed. He took a step forward and whispered, "This matter is indeed not the fault of our Yin family. Can you please ask Manager Yao to show off to me and give the Yin family ten days? I will definitely do it." Let someone find out the whole story and give the merchant alliance an explanation."
"Ten days?"
The manager of the Merchant Alliance snorted coldly, lowering his voice at all like Mrs. Yin. Instead, he raised his voice and said, "Old Mrs. Yin asked for ten days as soon as he opened his mouth. Do you want the Yin family to have time to find a scapegoat to take the blame? This face, I can’t afford it!”
Behind, in the crowd, Li Ziye pricked up his ears, heard the conversation between the two, and immediately shouted loudly, "Manager Yao is right, we want justice today!"
"Yes, seek justice! The Yin family has gone too far!"
On the side, young people in Tsing Yi also joined in, fanning the flames together.
"Demand for justice!"
The people in the business alliance who were already excited could not stand the excitement and immediately started shouting.
In the crowd, Li Ziye and the young man in Tsing Yi silently remembered each other's appearance and planned to send someone to check the other person's identity after today.
You can meet colleagues here, who are not the masterminds behind the scenes, but also vested interests in this matter. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
The farce in Yin's bank is getting worse and worse. Outside, there are more and more people, all of them are just trying to eat melons, and they can't wait to see the two families fighting.
When Li Ziye saw that the fire was almost lit, he prepared to grease his feet and leave.
On the side, the young man in Tsing Yi saw this and quietly walked out from behind the crowd, preparing to retreat.
Outside Yin's house, the two looked at each other, smiled, and extended their hands.
"Li Dazhuang." Li Ziye introduced himself.
"Sun Erniu!" The young man in Tsing Yi responded equally honestly.
The two shook hands, then immediately took it back, turned around and left.
Pooh! What a fool!
Li Ziye, the young man in Qingyi despised the other party in his heart!
Li Yuan, after Li Ziye came back, he sent someone to find out the origin of the young man in Tsing Yi.
Similarly, after the young man in Qingyi returned home, he immediately sent someone to investigate Li Ziye's identity.
"Li Ziye?"
"Changsun Fengyu!"
After seeing many portraits, the two recognized each other at a glance.
fraud!
Li Ziye and eldest grandson Fengyu once again despised each other's character.
"You mean, the Li family's legitimate son also sneaked into the business alliance and went to Yin's bank to cause trouble?"
In Changsun Mansion, Changsun Nanqiao heard a trace of surprise on his pretty face and said after hearing what his nephew said.
"right."
Changsun Fengyu took a sip of tea and said with contempt, "I have never seen such a shameless person, and he lied to me and said his name was Li Dazhuang!"
"Didn't you also lie and call yourself Sun Erniu?" Zhangsun Nanqiao said without mercy, exposing the former's hypocrisy.
"Auntie, how can you speak for an outsider?"
The eldest grandson Fengyu said in surprise, "Could it be true, as the rumors say, that you have fallen in love with that boy from the Li family? Auntie, you should think twice. That boy is younger than your nephew and me!"
"roll!"
The eldest grandson Nanqiao scolded angrily, "I think your skin is itchy. What if I didn't tell your father to loosen your muscles and bones?"
"Hey, aunt, I was wrong."
The eldest grandson Fengyu immediately gave up and said, "But, aunt, what do you mean by the actions of the legitimate son of the Li family?"
"Stir up the flames and make the three families fight among themselves."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said calmly, "The people of the Li family came to the capital because they were forced by the imperial court. Of course, the people of the Li family are not willing to compromise easily."
"Then the fire in the Merchant Alliance last night was also started by the Li family?" the eldest grandson Fengyu said in a condensed voice.
"That's not necessarily the case."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao shook his head and said, "It may be that the Yin family did it. After all, I came back disappointed in Li Garden, and if the merchant alliance suffers another heavy blow, the direct beneficiary is the Yin family."
"But if it was really the Yin family, why would there be evidence left behind? It doesn't make sense." Changsun Fengyu said puzzled.
"Perhaps it was accidentally left behind."
As he spoke, the eldest son Nanqiao showed a bright smile and said, "Of course, the Li family is also suspicious. Feng Yu, that Li Ziye is very interesting. You can get closer to him."
"Close?"
The eldest grandson Fengyu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm afraid that in the end, if we get close to him, he will become my little uncle."
