Chapter 26 The Plan

PS: Thanks to book friend Xiaoxiang Feiyu for the reward of 10,000 starting coins

The atmosphere in the Chu family's meeting room was depressed for a while, and Chu Zongguang frowned. He hated this kind of thing the most. He knew what Chu Xiu was thinking, but if Chu Sheng's mother and son really did such a thing, it would It is also absolutely intolerable to him.

Chu Zongguang looked at Chu Sheng's mother and son and said, "You really did this?"

The second lady stood up and said with an aggrieved look: "Of course not. Others don't believe me. Don't you believe me, sir? How could I do something that would harm the interests of the Chu family? The batch of ore It’s true that I sold it, but I sold it to my father.”

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "Then why did the ore go to the Li family in the end?"

The second lady said: "My father's Kaishan martial arts gym needs a batch of weapons. In the entire Tongzhou Prefecture, only the Li family's weapons are the best, but the Li family's weapons with more than three ranks are directly forged in Qingyuan Town, Yan State. , Those are treasures, plus my relationship, even if the Li family still has some treasured weapons, they will not sell them to my father.

So my father could only find a way to sell this batch of ore to the Li family, which made the Li family agree to help him forge weapons.

However, as a member of the Chu family, even if Ding Kaishan is my father, I will not harm the interests of the Chu family. "

Saying that, the second lady directly took out the bank note, handed over fifty-five thousand taels of silver to Chu Zongguang, and said with an aggrieved look: "Fifty-two thousand catties of ore, based on the highest market price, is only fifty-two thousand taels." , but there are three thousand taels more here, which is more than the highest price.

Although the ore from my Chu family can be sold to the country of Yan to make more money, this batch of ore is enough for the caravan to travel once. I sold it directly to my father, and the caravan saved time. Isn’t that good?

Besides, master, don't forget that when the Chu family first came to Tongzhou, my father helped the Chu family a lot. "

Seeing the second lady finish her trick there, Chu Xiu frowned.

It seems that the second lady is not unprepared, she has already thought of excuses.

It's just that no matter how many excuses she made, she couldn't change the fact that the ore fell into the hands of Li's family. Chu Zongguang wouldn't choose to turn a blind eye, right?

But it turned out that the elders of the Chu family didn't say a word after seeing the banknote. Anyway, the Chu family didn't lose money this time.

On the other hand, Chu Zongguang frowned, it was really difficult for him to carry Ding Kaishan out.

After all, when the Chu family was able to gain a foothold in Tongzhou Prefecture, Ding Kaishan really put in a lot of effort.

Although the Chu family later compensated Ding Kaishan a lot, Chu Zongguang couldn't bear to scold his father-in-law.

So he just snorted twice and said: "Okay, let's forget about this matter, Chu Xiu, you don't have to stare at this matter anymore."

After Chu Zongguang finished speaking to Chu Xiu, he turned his attention to the second lady again, and said calmly: "And you too, don't think I don't know what your plan is.

After all, the Li family and our Chu family have different paths. Let’s forget about this time. If you have any involvement with the Li family next time, you must not be forgiven lightly! "

After finishing speaking, Chu Zongguang asked everyone to disperse, and he also left directly.

Chu Sheng's mother and son Shi Shi ran away. Before leaving, Chu Sheng showed a smug smile at Chu Xiu, but Chu Xiu still remained expressionless.

Chu Zongguang's decision today made Chu Xiu feel like scolding his mother.

Such things as capital enemies can be fooled, this Chu family is almost as if it is not Chu Zongguang's.

Leaving the Chu family mansion, Chu Xiu went all the way back. Seeing Chu Xiu coming back, Ma Kuo asked with a smile: "Master Chu, did your father punish the mother and son severely?"

Chu Xiu shook his head, and Ma Kuo was taken aback for a moment, not daring to say anything: "Your father doesn't care about this kind of thing, what exactly does he think?"

Even a rough man like Ma Kuo knew that what Chu Sheng's mother and son did was a big taboo.

Infighting is fine, let alone a small family like the Chu family, those top big clans in the Jianghu are more fierce infighting, almost every generation of heirs, except for some who can crush others, or else they are blood from generation to generation.

But the problem is that there is a prerequisite for internal fighting, which is not to damage one's own interests.

Although the second wife's mother and son's actions proved that they did not harm the interests of the Chu family by relying on sophistry and bank notes, it was Chu Xiu's interests that were harmed.

Using outsiders to deceive his own people, isn't Chu Xiu a member of the Chu family?

Chu Xiu said with a gloomy face: "I don't even know what my father thinks now, but this matter is definitely not over. Let people prepare. I want to touch Li Zhao!"

Ma Kuo asked suspiciously, "Let Boss Han make a move?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, let's do it ourselves! This time I not only want to move Li Zhao, but also want to force the Chu family. Otherwise, I will definitely not be the heir of the Chu family's head if I follow the normal procedure. .”

Now Chu Xiu can also see that Chu Zongguang doesn't like him. Even though his favorite son Chu Shang has been disabled, Chu Zongguang doesn't like him either.

Those inside the Chu family are even more short-sighted, all staring at their immediate interests.

Chu Xiu has no patience to spend with them. If he wants to get this position as soon as possible, he can only get this position by killing the boss Chu Kai and the third child Chu Sheng, or by making contributions that no one can surpass. Location.

Right now, the Li family has such an opportunity, moving Li Zhao is just an introduction, and destroying the Li family is Chu Xiu's real plan!

In the past, the Li family and the Chu family had so many troubles. If Chu Xiu could completely destroy the Li family, who would be able to match the credit?

Although he is not personally stronger than the Li family, Chu Xiu has the confidence to leverage the power of the entire Chu family through this matter.

Ma Kuo shrugged at the side, anyway, they are now holding Chu Xiu's money and doing things for Chu Xiu, so naturally Chu Xiu will do what he says.

Besides, they are also cooperating well with Chu Xiu now. If Chu Xiu can sit on the position of the heir of the Chu family and have enough power in his hands, it will actually be good for them.

"By the way, Mr. Chu, do you know which route the Li family caravan is going to take? If you can't find out, I'll ask Boss Han to tell them to help you pay attention."

Chu Xiu shook his head, with a strange look in his eyes and said, "No need, I have my own way of doing this."

As he said that, Chu Xiu called Gao Bei and asked, "Help me pay attention to the current situation of Li Jing in the Li family, and tell me about his news."

If Li Zhao hadn't mentioned this before, Chu Xiu would have almost forgotten what happened in Yuanbao Town.

But now that Li Zhao suddenly mentioned it, Chu Xiu suddenly had a solution.

In fact, Li Jing can only be regarded as a small person in the Li family. Although he is appreciated by Li Zhao, he is only a servant after all, not even in charge of affairs, and his situation and whereabouts are not secrets.

At this time Li Jing was drinking in a tavern.

If people from the Li family like Li Jing drink in the tavern opened by the Li family, they will naturally have some discounts, but now he deliberately avoids these places and chooses a tavern run by an ordinary businessman. He didn't want other servants of the Li family to see his jokes and laugh at him.

Li Jing is an ambitious person, from childhood.

Although he is a servant of the Li family, he is not reconciled to being the current servant for the rest of his life.

There are many people with such ambition, but most of them are daydreaming, but Li Jing is different, he is the kind of person who really dares to do it, so he worked very hard and desperately in Li's family.

Although he doesn't want to be the current person, but if he can't even handle a servant, how can he become a master?

With this kind of thinking, it took Li Jing a short time to stand out from a bunch of servants and win the appreciation of Mr. Li San, but the experience in Yuanbao Town seemed like a nightmare, directly destroying everything about him .

Li Tong, the manager of the Li family, was humiliated by Chu Xiu because of his involvement, so after returning to the Li family, he blamed him.

And Mr. Li San also reprimanded him because he provoked troubles outside and was not prudent enough in handling things. Although it was just a reprimand, it actually meant that he was hated by the third master. It was to embarrass him mercilessly, and no one in the entire Li family was willing to stand up for him.

Now Li Jing doesn't know who he should hate.

Do you hate Chu Xiu's humiliation at the beginning, or do you hate Li Tong for bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and you can only vent your anger on him if you dare not trouble Chu Xiu, or do you hate Li Zhao for abandoning him mercilessly?

Just when Li Jing was getting a little drunk, a person suddenly walked out of him and said, "Li Jing, my young master asks you to come over, keep your voice down, don't shout."

As he said that, the man put his hand on Li Jing's shoulder directly, and the force made Li Jing understand immediately that he couldn't resist.

This immediately sobered up most of Li Jing's wine, and he whispered: "Who is your young master? I am a small character who can't be on the stage, why does he want me?"

"You will know when you go!"

The man threw down a piece of broken silver and took Li Jing away from the tavern, but he didn't go far, and led him directly into the second floor of an inn.

Pushing open the door, there was only a young gentleman in the room, wearing a golden brocade robe, a Yanling knife, a dish of salted peanuts and a jug of rice wine on the table.

The moment he saw this person, Li Jing's eyes were filled with horror.

"Chu Xiu! It's you!"
