Let’s talk about the vertical cow.
When Shu Niu came out of the main hall angrily, and when passing by the front yard, he happened to see Ji Zeng and Ji Xun heading to the main hall. They just wanted to meet their brothers, but unexpectedly Shu Niu only glared at them. Then he left without saying a word.
Ji Zeng and Ji Xun were frustrated. They didn't know what happened, so they had to go to the main hall to talk to their father.
After Shu Niu left the Ji Mansion, he was not idle and went straight to a wine shop in the east of the city.
"Have you found out where the old man and the overseas Chinese went today?"
Zhu Niu knelt down and stood beside him a warrior holding a sword. He looked heroic, but his eyes were very gloomy, giving people a very gloomy feeling.
When the warrior heard what Zhu Niu asked, he still maintained his sword-holding posture and said calmly:
"Your father and Zichan went to the other courtyard where Li Ran lives today."
"What? Him again?"
Upon hearing this answer, the cup that Zhu Niu had just raised to his mouth instantly put it down again, turned his head, his face was livid and gloomy.
Just listen to Wu Ren continue to say:
"They talked in the courtyard for a long time, and Chu Dang was always following Li Ran. I didn't dare to get too close, so I don't know what they said."
"But it is not difficult to infer that the reason why your Majesty changed his mind today was probably because he was bewitched by Li Ran."
Today, after leaving the other courtyard where Li Ran lived, Ji Xian returned home and called for the cow to be raised. Not only did he change the plan of raising the cow, he even changed the person in charge.
No matter how stupid Shu Niu was, he should have figured out that what Ji Xian was talking about with Li Ran must be about escorting grain and grass to Weiguo for sale.
However, I don't know what Li Ran said that could actually cause such a huge change in his usually stubborn father in an instant.
"It's this guy again!"
"It's really disgusting! Damn it!"
"boom!"
The cup he was holding tightly was thrown to the ground and broke into several pieces.
However, the warrior was indifferent when he saw this, and did not even blink his eyelids.
He looked at the angry Shu Niu, but said calmly:
"Getting angry here won't help anymore. It's better to think about how to remedy this matter."
It seems that this warrior is not the guard of the bull.
"You don't need to remind me! Of course I know this!"
Zhu Niu was furious. Hearing Wu Ren's nonchalant tone, he suddenly became angry and looked at him with eyes full of fire.
When the warrior saw this, he showed a noncommittal look on his face. He held the scabbard with both hands and just stood there, motionless.
"Where are the merchants from Qi now?"
"It's already here. It's now in the city center post."
After the warrior finished speaking, he seemed to have guessed what Shu Niu wanted to do, and immediately continued:
"But... it's not a good idea for you to meet them at this time. What if your father or the person who gave birth to the quilt... Oh, I forgot, there is also Li Ran, and the Sun Wu next to him is by no means ordinary. Senior. I have been in the city inquiring about you these past few days. If they find out, you should know the consequences."
Qi State has many merchants in Zhengyi, which is nothing new.
But the meaning of what Wu Ren said is that whether it is the sacrifice of ancestors, Zichan, or Li Ran, as long as any one of them discovers that Shu Niu went to meet Qi merchants alone, then for Shu Niu, these things will be ruined in the future. They are all evidence of treason.
After all, Qi merchants and Zheng merchants have always competed with each other in the business field. At this juncture, Shu Niu was meeting with people from the Qi State Business Group. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it if he said he had nothing to do in private.
"Of course I know that going to see them at this time is a bad idea, but this is already a helpless move. If not, can I really watch those two fools Ji Zeng and Ji Xun go to defend the country?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just go and make arrangements."
After the words fell, Shu Niu stood up and left in a hurry.
…
It's night, in the east pavilion of the city.
When Shu Niu arrived, the warrior who had just spoken to him had already appeared in the corner.
"Where are the people?"
"It's just upstairs. However, I would like to remind you one last time. There is no turning back when you shoot. You either don't do this or... you have to do it! There is no room for mercy!"
The warrior's voice was particularly cold.
Unexpectedly, Shu Niu just snorted and walked past him with disdain.
When they arrived at the room on the second floor, the merchants from Qi had been waiting for them for a long time. When they saw the arrival of Shu Niu, they all looked alert.
"Young Master Ji, I wonder why he came to us so late?"
When merchants from the State of Qi do business in Zhengyi, it depends more or less on the expression of the Ji clan. After all, Jishi has been operating in Zhengyi for decades, and various relationships are intertwined and intricate. No matter how wealthy the merchants of Qi are, they will never be able to defeat local snakes.
Therefore, it was certainly not their first time dealing with Shu Niu. However, they were a little worried that Shu Niu came to them at this time.
"I came to see you tonight because I want to do you a big favor!"
"Help us?"
When Qi Shang heard this, they all looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Shu Niu meant.
However, Shu Niu's face looked very dull. He only glanced at a few people when he heard the sound, and said nonchalantly:
"Come to think of it, you don't want to see the food from my country of Zheng arrive in the country of Wei first, right?"
"Sacrifice to the young master...what do you mean by this?"
"It's very simple. I will help you steal the grain that the Ji family transported to Weiguo and transfer it into your warehouse. All you need to do is open your warehouse in Zhengyi."
Zhu Niu stopped talking and told them the reason for his visit.
But when these Qi Shang heard what he said, they were stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Shu Niu is the eldest son of the Ji clan! At this time, he secretly colluded with outsiders to deal with his clan. What did he think?
Could it be that...the heir struggle in the Ji family has become so serious?
Or…
"Haha, Master Ji, are you deliberately trying to make us happy? You are the eldest son of the Ji family, and you may be the future successor of the Ji family. What benefit does it bring to you to help us like this?"
When they heard what Zhu Niu said, they found it quite puzzling. It's no wonder that these merchants from Qi State have such doubts. After all, what benefit does Shu Niu do to himself by doing this to one of his own?
"Oh, to be honest, my old man has handed over the matter of transporting grain to Weiguo to my two stupid brothers. Today, I only have the honor of being the eldest son, and I am beyond my reach to deal with this matter. ”
"Everyone also knows that I am a bully, and I am not good at sharing with others. Moreover, if my two idiot brothers return smoothly this time, my status in the family will be greatly reduced in the future, so …”
"do you understand?"
Zhu Niu said calmly, without even looking at these Qi Shang. He was born with an indescribable calmness.
The meaning of these words could not be more obvious. Therefore, after listening to this, several businessmen were ecstatic.
So that’s it!
The internal fighting among the Ji clan gave them this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, they only opened a few empty warehouses in Zhengyi, so what reason did they have for not accepting Shu Niu's request?
So, everyone present nodded their heads:
"Haha, I would like to thank you for your kindness, young master. If we are useful in the future, please just ask, young master, and we will serve the eldest son!"
As the saying goes, if you get a bargain, you have to act well. This has been true since ancient times.
