Keyboard Immortal - 345. Chapter 344
However, seeing Chu Chuyan and his party coming over, Xie Yi’s face suddenly turned into a smile: “Niece, I just came back and heard that you came to me. I thought I missed it, and I am annoyed.”
Zu An thought to himself that these guys were more yin than the other. They had always been at home, and they had deliberately disappeared before, but now they pretend to be okay.
Chu Chuyan was obviously used to seeing this kind of things, and he didn’t show it at all, and smiled lightly: “Chuyan has seen Uncle Xie.”
“Hey, this uncle is a bit ugly,” Xie Yi sighed. The other party did not call him the lord, but called his uncle. Obviously, he wanted to use the relationship between the two families to talk about things. “Niece, you are here today. I can guess, but the fact that your Chu family committed the crime this time is too big.”
“I remember you were always very calm. This time Zhongtian was confused. Why did you follow along.”
Chu Chuyan said melancholy: “Many things are easy to say, but difficult to do. Over the years, private salt has been flooded, coupled with other expenses, the Chu family has long been unable to make ends meet, and the salt was robbed. The method. What’s more, all the companies have been operating in this way for so many years. It has long become an unwritten unspoken rule. How can I know that Taishou Sang suddenly like this… this is more true.”
Those who do business in the salt industry will inevitably encounter the situation that salt is not enough. If the tax law stipulated by the court is followed, the cost of salt merchants will increase exponentially, and the common people will not be able to eat salt.
Therefore, each family has gradually formed a tacit understanding. If this situation is encountered, a small amount of the advance payment will be paid as a way, and most of them will not pay that money.
The Chu family has always had a very good relationship with the Salt Transport Envoy, so with Chu Zhongtian as the master, everyone has been in peace, but I didn’t know that Sang Hong came here.
“Although this is an unspoken rule, it is in conflict with the court’s laws after all, and people can’t help it.” Xie Yi sighed.
Chu Chuyan said solemnly: “We also know that this matter is a bit troublesome, so we came to ask Uncle Xie for help.”
Xie Yi smiled bitterly: “My niece should know that I am just a mere city lord, and Taishou Sang is my immediate boss, with the emperor’s life on him. I don’t have the ability to help.”
Chu Chu’s face was frosty, and his whole body fell silent.
Xie Yi continued: “Although I don’t have the ability, someone should be able to help the Chu family.”
Chu Chuyan was silent, Xie Yi smiled, and the atmosphere in the room became a little weird.
Zuan was at a loss. What dumb riddle did the two play: “Who?”
Xie Yi did not explain: “The niece should be clear.”
Chu Chuyan finally spoke: “Uncle Shi, you should know the principles of our Chu family all along.”
Xie Yi glanced at her meaningfully: “A lot of the time it is so easy to be neutral, it is often a huge price to pay.”
Chu Chuyan stood up and said, “There are many interruptions today, but don’t be offended by Uncle Wang.”
Xie Yi hurriedly got up and stayed: “You kid, just leave after talking.”
“Well, since everyone is not an outsider, I have something to say directly.” Xie Yi paused, as if thinking about how to use the wording. “I don’t persuade you to completely turn to that one, but if you are willing to If you hand it over, someone will naturally help you settle all this.”
Chu Chuyan’s face changed, and after a long time he said, “I need to go back and think about it.”
“Naturally it should be. You can also discuss it with your family. After all, it’s not a trivial matter.” Seeing that she didn’t refuse on the spot, Xie Yi’s eyes lit up.
When the two left Xie’s house, Zu An couldn’t help being curious: “What the hell did City Lord Xie say?”
From the conversation between the two, he understood that at first Xie Yi was persuading the Chu family to fall to King Qi. After Chu Chuyan refused, he made another condition.
He couldn’t think of what it was at all.
Chu Chu’s face showed hesitation, but he still said, “Azu, you are no longer an outsider. Some things should be known to you. City Lord Xie is talking about an account book…”
Then I roughly told him the ins and outs of the account book.
Zuan’s heart became angry when he heard it: “Then Xie Yi took advantage of the fire and robbed him!”
He suddenly thought of the ledger that Pei Mianman had asked him to find. At that time, he told him that it was the situation of the Chu family’s weapons, salt and iron business dealings with various forces. Now that she wants to come, she probably didn’t tell me the truth.
Hey, this world is terrible. On the surface, she is still Chu Chuyan’s best friend, but secretly thought that it was something that caused the other’s death.
He felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of this, but after another thought, although Pei Mianman was a little hypocritical to the Chu family, he was really good to himself.
For a while, he didn’t know what to do.
At this time, Chu Chuyan sighed, “Nowadays, I am a fish, but what else can I do to take advantage of the fire.”
Zuan came back to his senses: “You don’t really intend to give him the ledger, do you?”
“Of course not, just because everyone’s face is not so ugly.” Chu Chuyan replied.
Zuan couldn’t help but said, “Actually, I don’t quite understand it. You have such a big killer in your hands, why don’t you make good use of it?”
“Use it?” Chu Chuyan was taken aback, “How to use it?”
Zuan said: “This thing is exactly like nuclear weapons… Well, don’t worry about what nuclear weapons are. I mean so many important officials are in your hands, and you can use them to blackmail them.”
“But when this happens, everyone has completely torn their faces.” Chu Chuyan frowned.
“Now the Chu family is going to be over, do you still care about these?” Zuan said.
“But originally, the relationship between our two parties was pretty good. Maybe everyone would secretly help each other in the old friendship. If they completely provoke them, what should they do if they stand by and watch?” Chu Chuyan said worriedly.
“If you care about it, you are in chaos,” Zuan said. “Then I ask you, the Chu family has been in trouble for so long, who has helped those people.”
Chu Chuyan opened his lips, but in the end he said nothing.
Zu’an sighed: “If I were those people, I would have liked your Chu family to be over soon, so that no one has their handle. How do you think these people can help.”
“No wonder…” Chu Chuyan is not stupid, but he was confused just now when he was in the game before. Now he was awakened and immediately reacted, “Then what should we do?”
“Go directly to those people, and threaten them that if they don’t care, everyone will die together!” Zuan said, “According to what you said, those people have been dispersed to all departments of the court. That is definitely a huge force.”
“During this period of time, the Chu family had successive accidents, in the final analysis, it was because Sang Qian was dealing with you in secret.”
“Even if the matter of the advance payment of salt is resolved, the next time Sang Hong will find another thing to deal with the Chu Family, there will always be one time that I can’t help it.”
“So to solve the problem fundamentally, it is not only necessary to resolve the crisis of the Chu family, but also to completely resolve Sanghong. If you describe it correctly, those people on the ledger definitely have the ability to help you solve Sanghong. This trouble. But the premise is that you have to force them!”
Chu Chuyan pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes became firm: “Okay, I’m going to the capital for a trip. Those people were greedy for so much back then. The Chu family has been wiping their butts for years. They should also do something for the Chu family. NS!”
