He led the two of them through the path between the guest room and the main hall, and went straight to the main meeting hall where Ju Lao and others were now.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, the highly respected Mr. Ju was having a discussion around the table with several family members. When Fu Yunge saw what was on the table clearly, he discovered that they were two short letters.
"Father," Ju Wuzhu interrupted everyone's conversation and led the two people into the house, "this is Young Master Yu and Young Master Dongfang who arrived last night. They are my friends. They are willing to provide us with assistance. I don't know that Father How was your discussion?"
Fu Yunge and the others walked in immediately and greeted Mr. Ju one after another.
Fu Yunge saw that the real Ju Lao looked similar to what he imagined, with a wide face and thick eyebrows, but he was thinner. It looks like he has been working hard for many years, and with his wife's illness, he must have known that it would not be easy for him to gain weight.
"Hello." Ju Lao looked a little complicated.
His eyes briefly stayed on the two of them as a courtesy, and then moved his eyes back to the letter spread out in the center of the table: "This, what are we discussing."
"The big merchant house sent a letter to inquire about our attitude, but there is nothing to discuss."
Next to Mr. Ju, a bearded black face stared at the letter in front of him, without commenting: "The auction must be held. If not, then our winery will pay five times the starting price of Jinfeng Peony to buy it. Our Ju family The winery practices kindness and righteousness, but we are not weaklings who allow others to bully us.”
While he was speaking, Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming came together to read the contents of the letter.
The top one was a letter from the Grand Merchant Office, asking them to express their stance, and the current situation was kept secret for the time being. The bottom one looked more familiar, it was a rubbing of Jiuche Xiaoying's preview letter, and it was signed: [Nine characters][Xiao characters].
The two subordinates were dispatched together, and it seemed that the situation was indeed more serious than before. Both of them were secretly surprised in their hearts.
Then looking up, the content part is a short two lines:
"I have heard about the reputation of the Golden Wind Peony for a long time, and I am interested in acquiring it. I advise the Chaoyun Street Port Grand Merchant to cancel the auction in five days, and respectfully send the Golden Wind Peony to the Chaoyun Street Port Pier. I will find someone to take care of it."
Judging from the shape of the font, it is not something that big men can write. But Jiuche Xiaoying has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, which is not surprising.
Fu Yunge thought about it in his mind. It seemed that their previous guess was correct. The most important thing next was to find their breakthrough point and stop their plan.
Based on their previous actions, I am afraid that even if the big business store does as they say, it will be difficult to avoid the disaster in Chaoyun Street.
After all, Golden Wind Peony is probably just an excuse for them. Chaos and panic are their real goals.
Ju Lao had been listening to the discussions of the people around him, frowning and pondering for a long time. Sometimes his eyes were confused, sometimes his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be having trouble making a decision.
After all, his wife had been ill for many years and finally found a glimmer of hope, but the current situation forced him to give up. How could he let go so easily in this situation?
Fu Yunge was also weighing it secretly in his heart. If it were his mother or his sister Yu Rou, what choice would he make?
If a kind-hearted person like Ju Lao is asked to choose between his loved ones and the common people, I am afraid that no matter which side he chooses in the end, he will be extremely painful in his heart.
At this time, Fu Yunge suddenly found Dongfang Shiming winking secretly at him. He blinked in response.
Dongfang Shiming stepped forward slightly, bowed and said, "Everyone, I went out to discuss with my friends, so I won't disturb your discussion for the time being."
After saying that, he smiled apologetically, and he and Fu Yunge stepped back and walked out of the room.
Ju Wuzhu watched them leave and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"It seems that the matter has been confirmed."
Behind the house, Fu Yunge spread his hands and said.
Now that the situation is like this, whether they should return to Chaoyun Street Port or continue to pursue Jiuche Xiaoying's whereabouts here has become a question that needs to be weighed.
Dongfang Shiming held on to the wall helplessly, what he was worried about happened.
But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in being dejected. It is even more important to use all our strength to intercept their plans and render them helpless.
"Do you think we should continue exploring Pima Village?"
Dongfang Shiming's face turned a little pale, and he rarely consulted Fu Yunge's opinion.
Fu Yunge looked at Dongfang Shiming with some worry, and slowly expressed his opinion: "Since you are here, you can't go back empty-handed."
The morning breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, which is cool and refreshing. Dongfang Shiming took a long breath and felt much more relaxed. Then he lowered the arms supporting his body, stood up straight and shook his neck.
"Same feeling." Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge looked at each other.
"If they were stopped, there wouldn't be such worries."
…………
In Chaoyun Street Port, Chong Daocheng and others were currently inside the large commercial center, discussing the matter carefully with the director.
"The Dachang Guan auction hall has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs. How could it be possible to suspend the auction because of something like this? I personally do not agree with this almost insulting order."
The curator's voice echoed from the beams of the hall. He is also an old man who has been controlling the big business for nearly fifty years. His shrewd eyes are sharper than an eagle.
In his hands is the industry that he has devoted his life to. But now they want him to stop the upcoming auction because of some gangster or other reasons, and he is naturally unwilling to agree.
"If the auction is suspended, it will mean a breach of trust for our large commercial building and even Chaoyun Street."
"Businessmen are based on integrity. If you ask me to stop the auction, you will undoubtedly smash the century-old reputation of the big merchant house to the ground!" The curator spoke a little excitedly, freeing up a hand holding the saucer to rub his chest over and over again. "It's really an unprecedented insult. For a big business store to accept such trampling, it would be better for them to directly insult me personally."
Several subordinates quickly encouraged the curator, patting and beating him. Chong Daocheng looked at the proud old man in front of him, feeling both admiration and helplessness in his heart.
The curator looked at Chong Daocheng for a moment, and his eyes gradually softened.
He grabbed the faucet crutch leaning against the table and stood up, walked slowly for two steps, and then said: "Forget it, I won't just act on my impulse. After all, Chaoyun Street Port is also a subsidiary property of the big commercial building. I’ll think about it.”
"In addition, we will not fail to listen to the opinion of Mr. Ju Lao, the biggest dark horse in this auction. The letter has been sent. If Ju Lao also thinks that the auction should be suspended, the big business store will cooperate accordingly. "
The meeting ended after a while, and Chong Daocheng and others left the big business building and walked towards Zui Chen's hometown.
Gongsun Tan and Chong Daocheng walked in front, both knowing that this kind of concession was the bottom line of the big merchant house. Although it can't be said to be a good result, fortunately there is still room for maneuver.
The warm breeze under the morning sun is extremely gentle, and the verdant greenery of the distant mountains and the sea of pink flowers are fascinating.
Zui Chenxiang moved the table to the yard and sat on a deck chair to sightsee and bask in the sun, lazily and contentedly.
After the poinsettia arrived, the few tea tubes in Zuichen's hometown were all drunk. At this time, he came out again holding a steaming teapot, dragging a horse along with him, and sat down at the table.
Zui Chenxiang glanced at him sideways and moved his lips, but was too lazy to speak.
Poinsettia poured herself a cup of tea as if she was enjoying it. The aroma of tea floated faintly to every corner of the courtyard.
"Bring me a cup." Zui Chenxiang finally said after a while.
Poinsettia was just about to get up and go into the house to fill the house with hot water. When she heard what he said, she smiled and asked, "Don't you like drinking tea?"
Zui Chenxiang just turned his neck slightly and ignored him. Poinsettia smiled smugly, turned around and went into the house.
At this time, Chong Daocheng and others just came back. They walked in directly without closing the door. When they saw Zui Chenxiang, they briefly explained the negotiation situation to him.
"Hmm... um." Zui Chenxiang patted the vine handle, thoughtfully.
"Were those two people not here yesterday?" Chong Daocheng looked around.
"They were sent to inspect Chaoyun Street Port." Zui Chenxiang sat up from the recliner and stretched, "Well... judging from the results of the negotiation, this is indeed expected."
"We should make two preparations." Chong Daocheng said.
Zui Chenxiang thought for a while, his eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes uncertain.
"Yes." He turned his head and looked at the indigo-colored roof tiles. "After many years, this place has finally... become lively again."
…………
In Pima Village, Fu Yunge and others walked around and inquired about each other. When they walked to the entrance of the village, they found little.
"They were very careful in concealing themselves." Fu Yunge scratched his head and sighed.
Dongfang Shiming looked at the busy crowd in Shang Qu in front and frowned: "Don't be discouraged, there will definitely be clues."
At this time, a strange and strange scream came from far behind the two people:
"Ouch, why are you two again?"
