Qian Tong's words made many officials on the stage unable to get off the stage.
Wu Yunxuan's face turned livid and he scolded: "Qian Tong, are you questioning my judgment?"
"Common people don't dare. It's just about the selection of imperial merchants. This is a serious matter. I think it's better for you all to explain the reasons for your judgment."
"Okay! I will tell you then."
"This selection only looks at the cloth material and not the dyeing technique. Are you satisfied?"
As soon as these words came out, Qian Tong stopped talking and just looked at Wu Yunxuan with burning eyes, as if there were thousands of words in his eyes.
The other cloth merchants also looked at each other, stunned for a while.
Don’t look at the dyeing, just the fabric?
How could Master Wu say such ridiculous things?
Since ancient times, weaving and dyeing have been inseparable.
They have participated in many similar selections, and they all make decisions based on the final product.
The selection of imperial merchants should be the most stringent and fair among all selections.
If we only use fabric as the criterion, it will obviously be difficult to convince the public.
For a moment, no one spoke in the entire lobby, and the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.
But everyone clearly felt that in this silence, there was an invisible storm brewing!
After a while, the storm finally reached its peak and broke through the shackles!
Qian Tong fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed three times in the direction of Huo Yan, and said, "Qian Tong, a common man, please ask Sheriff Huo to uphold justice!"
He didn't know why Huo Yan made a biased ruling, but in the past, Huo Yan was definitely a good official who was fair and strict.
So at this moment, he could only place all his hopes on Huo Yan.
He is gambling!
I bet that I can awaken Huo Yan's conscience!
Huo Yan looked at the scene in front of him and stood blankly for a long time. Finally he closed his eyes and sighed: "Since ancient times, there is indeed no precedent for the selection of imperial merchants based only on cloth."
As soon as these words came out, Qian Tong's heart surged with ecstasy, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir!"
Wu Yunxuan frowned and scolded: "Master Huo, do you know what you are talking about?"
However, what faced him was Huo Zhong's newly opened, determined eyes!
"Master Wu, although special matters can be handled specially, justice should also be upheld!"
When Wu Yunxuan heard this, his pupils shrank sharply and he almost cursed!
There is not enough money to make a plan!
No wonder he was ostracized by the Yang family back then.
"The Huo family has been deeply favored by the emperor. Is this how to repay the emperor?"
Wu Yunxuan's words were confused, but Huo Yan understood them clearly.
The Huo family was indeed deeply favored by the emperor and suffered a great deal of misfortune.
The selection of Huangshang Gongbu this time is to do things for His Majesty.
If Liuyun Satin is selected and presented, wouldn't it mean that the royal family loses face and the Holy Emperor is ridiculed by Nanliang?
"Even if Datian hears about this matter, Huo still believes that Your Majesty will be able to see clearly." An obvious look of struggle flashed through Huo Yan's eyes.
"Pedantic! Extremely pedantic! You idiot who doesn't know how to adapt!"
"Huo Yan, you have stayed in Jiangnan for three years, do you want to stay for another three years?"
Apparently, these two had a real fight.
Many cloth merchants in the audience were already kneeling on the ground.
They were just merchants, and in terms of status, they were really lower than ordinary people.
It is disrespectful to stand or sit and listen to two adults arguing!
Shen Gui looked at the scene in front of him and felt deeply how terrifying Qian Tong was.
You know, both Mr. Wu and Mr. Huo obviously supported him from the beginning.
Otherwise, they would not have given him secret information, nor would they have selected him again.
But Qian Tong managed to convince Mr. Huo with just a few words, resulting in the current scene.
This person is truly terrifying!
If you rely solely on yourself, you may not even be qualified to play chess with him.
Without the silk sent by my son, and without the secret help of the two adults, this selection would have been one-sided.
At that time, Shen Gui felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
What kind of opponent is the most terrifying?
Make you feel like a convinced opponent!
Just like Qian Tong, he not only has outstanding abilities, but also has a charming personality.
If such a person is elected as an imperial merchant, he will be able to quickly occupy the cloth merchant markets in Jianghuai and Huaihe counties. By then, the Shen family may not be able to escape the fate of being annexed.
On the contrary, if Shen Ji is elected as the imperial merchant, Shen Gui is not confident that he can annex Qian's cloth shop in a short time.
This is a real gap in ability between the two.
However, just when the situation was tense and stalemate, the guard's call came again from outside the door.
"My lord, there is an old man outside the door asking to see you, saying he has something important to do."
"No!" Huo Yan was so angry that he didn't have time to see any old man.
"But he said that this matter is related to the selection of imperial merchants."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became solemn.
Something unexpected happened!
Qian Tong's heart skipped a beat, because this change was not his arrangement, it could only be Shen Gui's arrangement!
This fat man’s calculations are so deep!
In vain, I thought that the new cloth was all the back-up, I really underestimated you!
Wu Yunxuan snorted coldly and said, "Go out and take a look first."
Huo Yan didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence.
When a group of people walked out of the Sheriff's Mansion, they suddenly saw an old man holding a roll of cloth in his hand.
Old people are not uncommon and can be seen everywhere.
What's strange is the cloth in his hand!
Who are all present?
The owner of one of the most famous cloth shops in Jianghuai County, looking at Bu's eyes, he is extremely vicious.
You don't even need to touch this cloth with your hands. Just by looking at the ice blue and snow white lines, you can tell that it is not ordinary!
But, who is this old man? And why did they come?
The next moment, someone answered their doubts.
I saw Shen Liangfu running out of the crowd, shouting as he ran, "But Uncle Fu?"
Hearing this, all the bosses could not help but tremble in their hearts. They were all surprised that Mr. Shen’s family actually had a back-up plan!
Then they all looked at Qian Tong, and sure enough, his face was ashen.
Shen Gui looked confused and didn't know anything about it.
When this look fell into Qian Tong's eyes, it made him grit his teeth.
Still pretending! This bastard!
It’s so hypocritical!
"Mr. Shen, you left in a hurry. You took the uncolored silk and left."
"My young master is afraid of delaying the imperial merchant election, so he specially ordered me to send you dyed ice pattern silk."
boom!
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere at the scene became lively like a raging fire cooking oil, and there was endless discussion.
"It turns out that Shen Ji's new cloth is called silk."
"When this silk was not colored, it was not as good as Flowing Cloud Satin, but it was far superior to ordinary fabrics. Now that it is dyed, it can compare favorably with Flowing Cloud Satin."
"That young man, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come up quickly!" Wu Yunxuan was also anxious and stepped forward.
Shen Liangfu immediately ran over with the cloth and presented the ice pattern silk in front of everyone.
Suddenly, as if by chance, everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces!
There are such delicate textures in the world!
