Su Shi kept laughing. He seemed to like letting others take advantage of him, but Zhou Jin knew that anyone who took advantage of him would definitely pay the price.
"However, the two aristocratic families, Nangong and Liu Mansion, only have more than six million taels of silver in Qianqiu's treasury. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for us."
"Would other aristocratic families be jealous if they knew that Nangong and the Liu family could actually sell wine and glass products at cost prices?"
"Must be very jealous."
"Then what will they do?"
A wave-like smile appeared on Zhou Jin's face: "I'm afraid that the threshold of the General's Mansion will be trampled down by these aristocratic families."
Su Shi's smile was like an old fox seeing a little chicken.
"I am a very fair person. Since I sold to Nangong and the Liu family at the cost price, I will naturally treat other aristocratic families equally."
You Gui was locked up in the woodshed, and no further measures were taken except for two sturdy men guarding the door.
When Su Shi walked into the woodshed, You Gui closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged on the ground.
When he heard someone walking in, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw it was Su Shi, he slowly closed his eyes again, his face as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Su Shi turned his head and looked at Zhou Jin: "I want to talk to him alone."
You Gui opened his eyes again, smiled slightly and said, "Master Su, why bother talking."
Su Shi ignored him and nodded to Zhou Jin. Although Zhou Jin didn't know why he did this, he still left the woodshed obediently.
But Zhou Jin didn't wait outside for long. Su Shi Shi Ran walked out of the woodshed. Zhou Jin greeted him in surprise, but Su Shi just smiled and said nothing.
The moment the woodshed was closed, Zhou Jin's eyes accidentally caught sight of You Gui's expression. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime, and he stared at Su Shi's back with dull eyes.
"What on earth did you do to him? Why did You Gui look like that?" Zhou Jin kept suppressing the doubts in her heart. It wasn't until Su Shi was about to leave Huafang that she finally couldn't help asking.
"I just said one thing to him."
"What words?"
Su Shi smiled: "I just said in his ear, I know what you want to do?"
Zhou Jin looked at him blankly: "You pushed me away just to say this to him?"
"yes."
"You really know?"
"Fake."
"Why do you do such a meaningless thing?"
From Zhou Jin's point of view, Su Shi's behavior made no sense at all. Did he think that if he said this to You Gui, You Gui would believe it and tell the truth?
Su Shi was a little disapproving: "It's really meaningless? Didn't you see You Gui's expression?"
Thinking of You Gui's expression at that time, Zhou Jin also felt puzzled. Faced with the cross-examination by himself and Su Shi, You Gui acted calmly and calmly, and even looked forward to death. But why did You Gui immediately become panicked after hearing these words? At a loss, confused?
Zhou Jin couldn't help but glance at Su Shi. She always felt that Su Shi was not telling the truth. So after sending Su Shi off the painting boat, she went to the woodshed without stopping.
When Zhou Jin saw You Gui again, his expression had returned to calm. No matter how Zhou Jin interrogated him, he just remained silent.
But she didn't gain anything. Although You Gui didn't say anything, Zhou Jin could feel that he seemed to have concerns and became a little hesitant.
Zhou Jin looked directly at You Gui and asked slowly: "What exactly did Mr. Su say to you?"
Hearing Zhou Jin's question, You Gui's face suddenly became distorted, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and his eyes became dull, as if Su Shi's words were a magic spell.
However, he still bit his lip tightly and used all his strength to control himself to answer Zhou Jin's question.
The guards outside the door saw You Gui's ferocious expression and immediately rushed in to protect Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin didn't panic at all, she just looked at You Gui blankly, all she thought about was Su Shi.
But this time when thinking of Su Shi, Zhou Jin no longer felt shy and sweet, but was shocked, because she vaguely felt that Su Shi knew much more than she imagined.
After Su Shi got into the carriage, as the carriage rose and fell, the expression on his face slowly became solemn, and then he couldn't help but sigh quietly.
When he said those words to You Gui, although You Gui didn't say a word, through his expression, Su Shi could confirm one thing, and precisely because of this confirmation, Su Shi would appear so hesitant and conflicted.
Lin Mo also seemed to know that Su Shi was not in a good mood, so he became more cautious while driving. From Jinghu Lake to the General's Mansion, it took Lin Mo two quarters of an hour longer than before.
Su Shi was at a loss, so when the carriage stopped and Lin Mo reminded him that he was home, he casually said, "Why are you in such a hurry today?"
Lin Mo smiled naively: "I'm afraid that the young master is hungry."
Su Shi was about to say that it was still early, but when he looked up at the sky, the sun hung high above his head like a fireball, and he was surprised: "It's already noon?"
Then he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "It seems that you can't get too obsessed with anything."
At this time, Menzi had already hurriedly greeted him. When he saw Su Shi, his anxious expression immediately turned into ecstasy.
"Sir, are you back?"
Looking at Menzi with a surprised look on his face, Su Shi couldn't help but be a little confused and looked at Lin Mo: "Are wages paid today?"
Lin Mo shook his head hastily: "We are paid on the first day of every month."
Su Shi looked at Menzi: "Since it's not a day to distribute money, why are you so happy to see me?"
Menzi said hurriedly: "Master, why are you still in the mood to joke? Master Kong came to the house to look for you just after the end of the day, and he is still waiting for you in the study."
"Master Kong?" Su Shi was slightly startled: "Master Kong Wenshun?"
"It's Lord Kong Wenshun."
"He has something to do with me?"
Menzi shook his head: "Master Kong didn't say anything." Then he lowered his voice: "But when I saw Master Kong, his face was very ugly and he seemed to be very angry."
Su Shi was shocked and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Who is he angry with?"
Menzi didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at him furtively.
Su Shi couldn't help but point to his nose: "You mean Master Kong is angry with me?"
Menzi couldn't help but nodded: "It looks a bit similar to me."
"Are you mistaken?" Su Shi stopped and frowned: "I haven't seen Mr. Kong for a long time. How could he be so angry with me?"
Then he thought carefully about what he had experienced during this period, and found nothing wrong.
The disciple couldn't explain it, so he could only say: "Master Kong is still in the study. The young master will naturally know what happened when he saw it. Maybe I guessed wrongly."
Those who can work as a disciple of a big family may not have high other skills, but their ability to observe people's emotions has reached the level of proficiency. Since he said that Kong Wenshun was very angry, then Kong Wenshun must be angry.
But Su Shi couldn't figure out who this anger was directed at.
