It was so dangerous that it was difficult to tell before he reached the door. Zhu Yunwen did reach the door.
When the Liu family heard that the 600th anniversary of the New Year was coming, they immediately became a mess. Some were looking for sticks, and some were picking up bricks. Someone also brought out two big black dogs, barking wildly.
Zhu Yunwen didn't care about this small scene. The people following him today were Liu Changge and Tang Buping. These two people can be said to have the highest force value in the security bureau. With them around, ordinary people can't even think of getting close.
Lifting his feet, Zhu Yunwen walked into the Liu family's house. He walked into the main hall as if there was no one else around. He looked at the businessmen and smiled indifferently at Liu Zhan who was sitting in the north: "I'm here uninvited at the age of six hundred. Mr. Liu won't mind, right?" ?”
Looking at Nian Liubai who suddenly came to visit, Liu Zhan calmed down his shock and said calmly: "I am a guest, how can you mind?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, looked at Liu Ning who was sitting side by side with Liu Zhan, walked straight over and said, "Please give way, I need to sit here."
"presumptuous!"
Liu Ning was furious.
The Liu family respected Liu Zhan, so it was natural to sit on the north side. Liu Ning was the manager of the Liu family and was responsible for daily affairs. He could be said to be the patriarch, so it was natural for him to sit on the north side with Liu Zhan.
But six hundred years in front of him is nothing. He actually wants to seize the master's seat in the Liu family's home. This cannot tolerate Liu Ning's anger.
But getting angry is one thing, giving up your seat is another.
Tang Buping stepped forward very rudely. Seeing that Liu Ning gave up his seat unconsciously, he stretched out a hand to lift Liu Ning up, and then threw him sideways. Liu Ning took a few steps back and landed in the hall.
When he looked again, Zhu Yunwen was already seated, with Liu Changge and Tang Buping standing on the left and right.
The whole room was shocked.
Liu Zhan squinted his eyes with a cold light. Liu Ning's eyes widened with anger, and other businessmen were also horrified. I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen anyone so arrogant. How can I say that this Liu Zhan is also a Yangzhou immortal pine. He has controlled the salt administration of Yangzhou for more than ten years. He has strong financial resources and extensive connections. , no one can easily touch him.
"This young master, by doing this, is he not treating the old man lightly?"
Liu Zhan lost face and said coldly.
Zhu Yunwen pushed the tea bowl on the table aside, looked sideways at Liu Zhan, and said calmly: "If he didn't take you seriously, he wouldn't have given up his seat. Liu Zhan, you are the immortal pine in Yangzhou. You secretly control the salt administration in Yangzhou, the Huaihe and Huaihe River Transport Departments need to listen to you, the salt field needs to listen to you, and the batch laboratory also needs to listen to you, right?"
Liu Zhan made a cold face and clarified the relationship: "I'm just an ordinary old man, but I don't deserve to be judged like this by a young master. The salt administration in Yangzhou has always been managed by the Lianghuai Capital Transfer Envoy, and it has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Yunwen smiled calmly: "You don't admit it, no problem. At present, most of the salt imports from the border merchants in Yangzhou are in my hands. There are many domestic merchants here who follow your orders and do not accept salt imports, right? What if I If you hold on to these words and refuse to let them go, what can you do to make them continue to obey?"
Liu Ning quit, stepped forward and scolded: "Who do you think you are, how dare you talk to the old man like this! It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks in the affairs of the Liu family! So what if the internal businessmen lose money? The Liu family has plenty of money. Just supply them!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Ning, who was almost losing his mind, and shook his head slightly: "It's okay to give money this year, but what about next year, and the year after that? How much money does the Liu family have, and how many years can it last for you?"
Liu Zhan glared at Liu Ning fiercely, then looked at Zhu Yunzhen: "Who are you? There is no wealthy businessman named Nian in the capital."
Zhu Yunwen ignored Liu Zhan and looked towards the door. Everyone couldn't help but look. They heard dogs barking in the distance, followed by several screams. A team of guys came in carrying several boxes. After opening the boxes, they all Shuashua retreated outside the door.
Liu Zhan's nose was almost crooked with anger. This was his own home, and no cat or dog would dare to break in!
A group of businessmen watched this scene uneasily. Although they didn't know why, they couldn't help but be surprised when they looked inside the box.
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the box: "Here are 100,000 taels of salt. I want a price of 80,000 taels. Young Song, are you willing to pay this price?"
Liu Zhan's mouth trembled slightly: "You bought it at a high price, and now you resell it to me in this way?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded: "Otherwise, how can you explain to these internal merchants? What they need is salt and connections, not just silver. If they can't get salt from Yangzhou this year, believe it or not, the merchants will be replaced next year. , join my sect. Will there still be a place for your Liu family in Yangzhou in the future?"
Liu Zhan was furious, but thinking about it carefully, it was true as he said. Once the Liu family lost this batch of salt, it would greatly weaken the Liu family's control over internal business. Without the core body of internal business, the Liu family would It’s hard to say whether it can still block border merchants and water merchants.
"Liu Zhe, go and get 80,000 taels for him."
Liu Zhan knows the priorities.
Liu Ning couldn't believe that his old father, who was also a domineering figure, was so humiliated by an unknown businessman? How much money did he spend on 100,000 taels of salt? It was only 70,000 taels at most, but he dared to ask for 80,000 taels!
"Father, this man is vicious. He slapped him into our house. We might as well bring him to the government to bring him to justice!"
Liu Ning reminded Liu Zhan that those who cannot be dealt with should be sent to the yamen to deal with them. The white ones there can be dyed black, and the living ones can be killed. The other party is just a nobody, so there is no need to worry.
Liu Zhan did not answer Liu Ning's words. The Nian Liubai in front of him was mysterious and powerful. Liu Zhan didn't know exactly how he persuaded the transfer envoy Ding Chuchen and Sun De from the batch inspection office to support and release the salt, but he was certain that this Six hundred years old is not an easy thing. There must be a background behind him. Only in this way, Ding Chuchen and Sun De may not be able to refuse.
It was too dangerous to continue arguing. Liu Zhan wanted to end the current farce as soon as possible and at least let this person leave first. As expected of the Liu family, they immediately took out the 80,000 taels of banknotes and placed a dozen boxes.
After Liu Changge personally checked it, he nodded to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen watched as the people from the Security Bureau carried away the box. Every time they came in and out, they could earn more than ten thousand taels out of thin air. If they were in business, they wouldn't make Chang Baiye and Shen Yiyuan famous all over the world, right?
"I'm tired, please come back."
Liu Zhan issued an order to expel guests.
Everyone stood up to leave quickly, but Zhu Yunwen didn't make any move. When everyone was about to leave after talking, he said, "The Yanyin matter is just a trivial matter. The Liu family has made money excessively, violated national laws, manipulated salt prices, and controlled salt politics. This is the big thing. Now that the small things have been dealt with, shouldn’t we talk about these big things?”
Liu Zhan's eyes widened, and he could no longer bear Zhu Yunwen's harmless, smiling face, and shouted angrily: "Who do you think you are, how dare you frame me!"
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to stop Liu Changge and Tang Buping, and looked towards the door. The merchants who had not yet left saw a horrifying scene. Groups of government officials rushed in, and Pang Pian, the prefect of Yangzhou, strode in. , took out a document and read in a loud voice: "Liu Zhan, suspected of controlling salt administration, manipulating salt prices, ordered arrest and interrogation. Liu Ning, suspected of controlling salt administration, manipulating salt prices, killing people and silencing them, organizing unjust imprisonment, ordered arrest Interrogation..."
"this……"
Liu Zhan couldn't react for a moment, looked at Pang Pian and said quickly: "Prefect Pang, did you write the wrong document?"
Pang Pian took a deep look at Zhu Yunwen. Because Zhu Yunwen was not allowed to reveal his identity, Pang Pian did not dare to kneel down and salute rashly, so he had to bow his hands. Then he ignored the words of Liu Zhan and others and said in a deep voice: "Everyone from the Liu family, Catch him!"
Such a shocking turn of events caught everyone by surprise. A group of businessmen looked at the glorious past, and the overlord of Yangzhou was dragged and arrested. Don't feel cold.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the hesitant merchants, pointed at the Yanyin that had not yet had time to move, smiled, and said: "Since you haven't left yet, let's discuss how to buy these 100,000 Yanyin."
"What?"
A group of insiders were dumbfounded.
By the way, this batch of salt must be regarded as belonging to the Liu family. They have paid for it...
Zhu Yunwen looked at everyone indifferently: "You don't think that the old pine tree is a roly-poly, do you? What the Liu family has committed is enough to confiscate the family. Since this batch of salt is going to be in the hands of the imperial court, why not sell it first."
The merchant is speechless. If your house is really going to be ransacked, do you still dare to sell it? Isn't this taking away the government's meat?
"What happened is mine, what are you worried about? One hundred thousand salt quotations, I will sell them to you at the original price of my purchase. One quotation is six hundred and fifty yuan, totaling sixty-five thousand taels..."
Zhu Yunwen said it very casually. Liu Changge and Tang Buping were shocked when they heard it. They used to think that Shen Yiyuan and Chang Baiye were great business geniuses. But now it seems that they are really inferior compared with Zhu Yunwen.
In less than three days, the net profit will be more than 70,000 taels. Let me ask Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants, who can do this? And the whole process, that is, loading and lifting boxes...
Internal businessmen are seeking profit. Since the risks are all borne by the current six hundred people, the people in the government seem not to see this pile of salt and are only focused on arresting people. If that's the case, then buy it and make a living.
The merchant went to prepare some silver, and Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, and Xia Yuanji stepped in.
Zhu Di took out a document and handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "Zhou Xian's case has been investigated clearly. It is indeed as originally judged. Zhou Xian of the tooth shop was unwilling to cooperate with the Liu family, so the Liu family joined forces with the Yamen and said that Zhou Xian had records of past businessmen. He also embezzled a large amount of commission and failed to report it truthfully. The Yamen captured Zhou Xian, and the Liu family later supported Feng Cheng to succeed Zhou Xian and became the Yanshi Dental Shop."
Zhu Yunwen looked through the documents. This result is not difficult to investigate. When he finds the big tree of the Liu family, he can boldly guess that all the branches are related to it.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully. Looking back, it is easy to find the truth. Besides, the Security Bureau also arrested a group of people. If Sun De was so obedient, that was the result of being dealt with by the Security Bureau.
What Zhu Yunwen is focusing on now is not Zhou Xian's unjust case. His matter is just a trivial matter. What really worries Zhu Yunwen is how bad the Lianghuai salt policy is, and who is behind Liu Zhan.
