Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"He would come up with such an idea to avoid our methods!"

Lu Chisong frowned and thought for a long time, "Since the Liu family sells stocks to build a house, can we take action from this point and completely block his supply channels?"

Cui Yixuan didn't have a good face, he hummed a few times, and said: "You can think of it, but Liu Bai can't think of it? He came up with this so-called 'stock' just to guard against us! I said how can he enjoy other industries, They were all sold out, so they were waiting for us here!"

Li Shushen pursed his lips and remained silent.

Fingers swipe back and forth on the table, as if calculating something.

Changsun Wuji's expression was also ugly.

Judging from the current situation, these four Patriarchs are not very good teammates.

In fact, he's still ignorant until now.

How did the good situation suddenly turn around because of the so-called 'stock'?

He looked at Li Shushen and asked, "Does Uncle Shen have a good strategy?"

For some reason, cold sweat broke out on Li Shushen's forehead!

His lips trembled slightly, and there was a deep look of fear in his eyes!

"From the very beginning, we've been on the wrong track!"

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and murmured: "I lost, I lost from the beginning!"

Cui Yixuan said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Shushen, why do you want to build up the ambitions of others and destroy your own prestige? Now that we haven't fully fought that Liu Bai, how can we talk about winning or losing?"

Li Shushen smiled wryly and shook his head.

"The old man just wanted to understand the key point."

He stood up, turned his back to everyone, took a few steps, and turned around suddenly.

"This is a series of tricks, the old man never imagined that at such a young age, Liu Bai has such a high level of scheming!"

Zheng Yuanxuan said with a gloomy face, "What did brother Shushen think of, tell me quickly and let us know!"

Li Shushen nodded his head, closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts before speaking eloquently.

"First of all, the Taoist miracles and Mount Tai's enshrining of Zen made the emperor's prestige reach an unprecedented peak. For a while, no one in the court dared to disobey the emperor's will. We were forced to do so. If you start from the top, you can't attack Liu Bai at the top of the court!"

"Afterwards, the trip to the Western Regions took [-]% of the officials' money, so they had to stand on the same front as the Liu family!"

"In the third step, Liu Bai is worried about us tampering with the supply channels, so he will sell off his properties and turn them into cash, which is equivalent to completely eliminating worries about the future!"

The corners of Li Shushen's eyes twitched a few times, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a bit.

"The last step is the real trump card to sell stocks, so that the famous merchants in Chang'an City, and even the people with wealthy families, are all related to the interests of the Liu family. If the Liu family makes a profit, they can also get a share. If the Liu family loses money, they will only Will lose more!"

While speaking, Li Shushen gasped.

"The chain is intertwined and there is no flaw. Our family has become the enemy of the court, merchants, common people, and even His Majesty without knowing it!"

"If we continue to attack the Liu family, even without Liu Bai's presence, the four forces will start a war with us!"

Everyone was dumbfounded for an instant!

They never imagined that Liu Bai had made so many preparations in such a short period of time!

Taken individually, they are trivial things.

But as Li Shushen said, this is a series of tricks.

One punch can't kill a person, but two punches are like scratching an itch.

But after the whole set, no matter how strong a person is, he will vomit three liters of blood!

Originally, they didn't pay much attention to Liu Bai's petty fights.

Now, it has caused a catastrophe!

Snapped!

Changsun Wuji crushed the porcelain cup in his hand!

It was only then that he understood why the Liu family had frequently acted strangely these days.

He has lived in the imperial court for many years, and he doesn't know anything about merchants.

But whether merchants or politics, in the final analysis, it is the interests of the plan!

Up to the emperor, down to the common people, with civil and military officials and common people in between.

Against them, no matter how powerful they are, they can only seek death!

In the blink of an eye, Liu Bai actually created a huge interest group that even a thousand-year-old family would fear!

Even if the aristocratic family controls some officials, will they be enemies of Liu Bai for the benefit of the trip to the Western Regions?

Even if some people don't care about the benefits of the trip to the Western Regions, they must be in the minority.

Based on His Majesty's trust in Liu Bai, even the civil and military criticisms of the Manchu Dynasty may not be effective!

The other Patriarchs are not much better than Changsun Wuji.

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

The aristocratic family that has dominated the Central Plains Wenhua for thousands of years felt great pressure from a merchant for the first time

For a while, everyone fell into silence.

Li Shushen supported the table with one hand, his fingers were bleeding.

Zheng Yuanxuan stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "Old man, old man"

He was an "old man" for a long time, but finally sat down slumped.

Lost from the start!

There is simply no other way for them to go.

Unless you rebel!

But is it worth rebelling just to deal with the Liu family?

Obviously, no one wants to take this risk.

Suddenly, the old housekeeper of the Changsun Mansion hurried in, and just about to open his mouth, he suddenly found that the atmosphere was very strange.

He shut his mouth sensibly, and was about to back out, but Changsun Wuji saw him.

"What's the matter?"

Changsun Wuji was furious, and his tone was very aggressive.

Helpless, the old butler could only lean closer and whispered something in Changsun Wuji's ear.

Changsun Wuji's face changed in astonishment.

"What did you say?!"

The four Patriarchs were taken aback by his voice.

Zheng Yuanxuan frowned, "Wuji, what happened?"

He was very dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji.

The sky is about to fall, and you still have the mind to take care of other things?

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, and it could be heard that he was trying to force his voice to become calmer.

But when he spoke, there was still some vibrato.

"The four sons of the family, as well as the son-in-law, Sun Huan, were suddenly taken to Dali Temple for trial just now!"

If Changsun Wuji was on the sidelines, even if Changsun Huan was sent to death row, it would not be a big deal.

But at this stall, any fool can tell that it must be Liu Bai's doing it!

Changsun Wuji just realized how terrifying Liu Bai is.

Who knows, what is he thinking about this time?

In case, taking Changsun Huan and others into Dali Temple was also one of his serial tricks, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Chapter 498

The new year is almost here, and the Yamen of Dali Temple is full of joy.

This was not the case in previous years.

Not to mention the busier you get as you get older, the court never pays overtime pay.

The God of Wealth came today, and everyone in Dali Temple, including the servants serving tea and water, gave a large sum of money to subsidize the family.

It seems that you can have a fat year.

In the yard, a few old subordinates were discussing that with the money, it was time to arrange a marriage for the children during the Chinese New Year.

The usually solemn and solemn government servants were all happy.

Leaning on a water and fire stick, thinking about where to buy New Year's goods after a business trip.

The two temple officials ran back and forth, turning into servants, one serving tea and water, and the other standing next to the God of Wealth, carefully serving them.

"Crap!"

Dai Zhou dropped the chess piece with a 'snap', and looked at Wang Shouren opposite him with a smile.

Without even thinking about it, Wang Shouren kicked Dai Zhou's horse off the chessboard as a pawn.

Dai Zhou looked up to the sky and sighed, he buckled his handsome chess and said, "No more, no more!"

Temple Chancellor Liu Qingyuan said with some displeasure: "My lord, you are wrong, and Mr. Wang is about to win!"

Dai Zhou glared at him viciously, "Who are you from?"

Liu Qingyuan shrank his neck and muttered a few words in a low voice.

"You are wrong"

Dai Zhou was furious, and made a gesture to throw the teacup at Liu Qingyuan.

After thinking about it, I let it go.

This set of teacups is made of Chuzhou tribute porcelain that was tricked out of the Liu family with great difficulty. There are dozens of cups in each cup, and it really hurts to drop it.

He shook his head helplessly, "You have won everyone over in Dali Temple with this move."

Wang Shouren smiled, and said: "Brother Dai has taken good care of my Liu family, a mere small amount of money is nothing to worry about!"

Liu Qingyuan seized the opportunity to flatter, nodded again and again, and said: "Mr. Wang said that we are all one family, let's not talk about two families!"

Dai Zhou glared at him again, and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Another Si Cheng just walked in, seeing that the chess game was over, he quickly took out a small delicate box.

"Mr. Wang, this is a pastry that I specially sell at the Hang Lung. Recently, it's very popular in the city. You should try it!"

Wang Shouren is not polite either.

He picked up a piece of walnut cake, took a bite, and couldn't help but nodded slightly to express his approval.

Dai Zhou watched from the opposite side, very annoyed.

But no matter how annoyed, it can't happen.

As soon as Wang Shouren came, he became a money-scattering boy, and even the concierge received dozens of rewards.

The two temple ministers even got a house for each of them!

No wonder the Liu family is respected everywhere they go.

That's because people use silver to open the way!

However, thinking that he also got a house, the anger in Dai Zhou's heart was cut by more than half.

Liu Qingyuan is right, they are all one family, so there is no need to talk about two families.

Therefore, Dai Zhou directly reached out and snatched the pastry box, and said while eating: "If you count the time, they should come too!"

Wang Shouren chuckled, and said, "I always have to ask people about the time, why don't we have another game?"
