The room was as warm as spring, and the copper pot was steaming. The four of them sat around. Zhu Qiuqi poured wine and said words of thanks to himself. Brothers Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minsu also stopped their chopsticks and looked at him with smiling and expectant eyes. To myself.
This scene made Zhu Shenzui feel as if he had traveled through time and space, giving him the feeling of being treated to a dinner party in later generations.
Slightly lost in thought, Zhu Shenzui laughed to himself and glanced at his fingers subconsciously. If the other party handed over another flower at this time and ordered it for himself, it would feel right.
"Uncle, when will Liu Shancheng's affairs be settled?"
"This matter is not urgent. What's wrong? How many days have you been short of money again?" Zhu Shenzui glanced at Zhu Qiuqi and asked with a smile. Unlike brothers Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minsu, Zhu Qiuqi was still a bachelor and spent money on weekdays. There are not many of them, he has always been the guy who gets drunk today.
In fact, according to his family background, Zhu Qiuqi is pretty good. Unfortunately, he is used to spending money lavishly. The ten taels of silver given to him at the beginning have almost been spent by now, and even those given to him later may not last long. Just like today, he could only think of such a luxurious way to eat shabu-shabu.
"Hehe, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? I'm thinking that so much time has passed. If I can get things done with the Liu family early, I'll get them done early. After that, everyone can have a good New Year." Zhu Qiuqi chuckled. While explaining, the brothers Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minsu beside him did not speak, but it could be seen from their eyes that they had the same idea.
Zhu Shenzui smiled, picked up his chopsticks and took out a piece of frozen tofu from the pot, blew it with his mouth, and said meaningfully: "I'm impatient. I can't eat this hot tofu. Only when the water is enough can it be done."
"All the things I asked you to do before have been completed, and now you have to wait patiently. Don't be anxious, this matter won't wait too long, I think it will be almost done in the next few days."
"With uncle's words, my heart was settled." Zhu Qiuqi nodded repeatedly, but he still asked uneasily, does he trust the boss of the Kang family so much? Are you sure that the boss of the Kang family will follow Zhu Shenzui's idea?
"To say that I am 100% sure is a big lie, but to say 80% is real." Zhu Shenzui smiled faintly, put some cooled tofu into his mouth and chewed it carefully: "This time the Kang family His family was almost destroyed. Kang Youfu’s resentment towards Liu Shancheng is unknown to others. How can I still be unclear about it? Besides, the Liu family is not a kind family, and Kang Youfu is a smart man. It is absolutely impossible for him to take revenge on the Liu family on his own. It's possible, as long as he finds something against the Liu family, he will definitely come to me for help."
Speaking of this, Zhu Shenzui said with full confidence: "You guys just wait. These days, Kang Youfu will go to the Liu family every now and then. Maybe he has touched the lifeblood of the Liu family. When the time comes, Kang Youfu will definitely come." Come to me, then it will be our chance to take action!”
"High! It's really high! Uncle Six, you are the one!" Zhu Minfeng gave Zhu Shenzui a thumbs up in admiration. At first, when Zhu Shenzui asked them to find someone to do this secretly, they didn't take it seriously. But as this matter developed, everything was exactly as Zhu Shenzui expected. Now that Zhu Shenzui seemed so confident, they felt relieved.
"By the way, did you clean up your hands and tails last time when I asked you to do something? Don't accidentally expose your tails by twisting and turning."
"Uncle, don't worry about this, it will be absolutely clean!" Zhu Qiuqi patted his chest and promised: "Whenever I do things, I always go around and find someone to do it according to your instructions. No matter what, we can't be blamed. "
"That's good. Don't leave the mutton uneaten and make yourself a mess."
"No, no, I promise not!"
Zhu Qiuqi promised again, then thought for a while and said: "When the Liu family's matter is over, uncle, how much benefit do you think we can get?"
"Haha, are you thinking about this again? Didn't we agree at the beginning that it would be absolutely fine for the few of us to get a thousand taels, and more is also possible." Zhu Shenzui said with a smile, and then thought about it and told them. To be honest: "You also know that the Liu family is not an ordinary family. If we can really make this happen, we just can't do it. Someone has to come forward."
"There are so many joints that need to be dealt with in various places. If you want to do things solidly, you have to work hard. Let's not talk about the county government and the prefect's government, as well as the chief envoy's government office and the governor's government office. In addition, we have to pull the strings. Over at the General's Mansion, that's right! Even those eggless eunuchs from the palace need to be taken care of. Who would be willing to do this without some sweetness?"
"These people are all sanctimonious, but in their bellies they are male thieves and female prostitutes. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as greedy. So even if the Liu family is brought down, we will only get a fraction of the Liu family's property at best. The bulk must be divided among them. Just go."
Zhu Qiuqi felt a little unwilling and couldn't help but cursed. They were the ones who instigated this matter and they were responsible for it, but in the end it was someone else who picked the peaches. This was really too much.
The Liu family has a lot of property. Even if it is a rough calculation, it is at least hundreds of thousands of taels, and even more if it is a detailed calculation. With so much money and so much property, only this little amount ended up in their hands. It was just a drop in the bucket. If you think about it this way, you really feel a little dissatisfied.
"Eighteen, Uncle Six is right. Even if the Liu family falls, we really can't take the big deal." Zhu Minfeng advised from the side: "You also know the situation of the Liu family. Can the Liu family be in Pingyang Mansion?" Having been in business for so many years, we have a lot of connections from top to bottom. We still don’t know what is going on in the officialdom? Who is willing to help if there is no benefit? Besides, we are not enough. Only the General’s Mansion can help. Once it’s done, it can be shared by so many people. They eat meat, so it would be nice for us to have some soup.”
"Yes, Shiba, let's listen to Uncle Liu on this matter. As long as the Liu family falls, we can drink some soup more or less. Haha, I don't expect to get tens of millions. People need to be self-aware. I am satisfied with what Uncle Liu said." Zhu Minxu also said, his thoughts are similar to Zhu Minfeng's. They are just ordinary clans with low status and no rights. They can't speak in many places. If they want to get things done, You also have to give up the big profits, otherwise you won't even be able to drink the soup.
What's more, Zhu Minlu is an honest and honest person. He is satisfied with the two hundred and fifty. The money is enough for him to buy a few acres of land outside the city and make his family live a good life. As for more, he does not expect more, just like As he said, people should be self-aware and just take what they deserve.
Zhu Qiuqi thought about it carefully and felt that this was right, but he was still a little unwilling to think about the Liu family's huge industry, but so what? He also knew his own weight. It was really impossible for them to do this, so he sighed in desperation.
"Eighteen, don't be discouraged. The same goes for you two." Zhu Shenzhui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do the business first. Once the business is done, the rest will be easier. We won't be able to get the Liu family by then. I'm thinking about nibbling on the little bits and pieces to make money, I know it in my heart, and I won't let everyone's work go in vain."
"That's right!" Zhu Qiuqi's eyes suddenly lit up. What Zhu Shenzui said makes sense. The Liu family's property has grown so big that even if they can't make a lot of money, just nibbling on the corners is enough. He nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face. Became a flower.
After a pot-shabu meal until dark, Zhu Shenzhui left. When he entered the house, his sister-in-law Zhang told him that Kang Youfu had come to see him today.
Hearing what Zhang said, Zhu Shenzui's drunkenness disappeared instantly. Since Kang Youfu came to him, it must be about the Liu family, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way.
But it's getting late now, curfew is coming soon, and it's too late to go to Kang's house now. He was wondering in his heart what kind of information Kang Youfu had got into the Liu family, and how he would arrange the Liu family next. Zhu Shenzui was a little excited for a while. He lay on the kang and thought about it for a long time. He didn't know when he would wake up in a daze. Fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, Zhu Shenzui got up early due to the influence of his biological clock. It was rare that he didn't practice boxing as usual. After washing, he rushed out of the door without even eating breakfast and went straight to Kang's Tofu Shop.
When we arrived at Kang's tofu workshop, Kang Youfu was busy in the shop. It was the morning market time.
Due to the previous lawsuit, the Kang family's business these days is not as good as before, but it has gradually recovered as time goes by. There are still many customers in the shop, drinking bean curd or soy milk and nibbling pancakes.
"Master Liu! Why are you here?"
"Haha, did you come to see me yesterday?"
"Well, there are some things I want to discuss with Mr. Liu... Mr. Liu, have you eaten? If not, eat something first. We can talk after eating?"
"Okay!" Zhu Shenzui nodded in agreement and sat down. Kang Youfu helped him serve a bowl of tofu curd and pancakes. At this time, Zhu Shenzui was not in a hurry and started eating slowly. After he finished eating , the flow of people in the morning market gradually decreased, and the shops became empty.
