Peerless Pirates

Sitting blankly next to Linghu Xi, Mr. Jian's eyes were blank.

As soon as Xu Mingsu died, Second Young Master Jian gradually calmed down from his rage, but he started to think about how to deal with it next.

From last night to now, Second Young Master Jian's experience can be described as a thousand twists and turns. Originally, Second Young Master Jian was in a very good mood yesterday. Seeing that his plan was about to succeed at Huitong Trading Company, Second Young Master Jian and his wife were in love with each other. Concubine, in order to continue the offspring, she fought in the pavilion of the back garden at night, and then fell asleep with her neck crossed, enjoying her beautiful life. However, a sudden fire woke up a pair of mandarin ducks.

After finally putting out the fire, and before he had time to worry about the loss, Mr. Jian discovered that his wife was missing. He was racking his brains to arrange for someone to find her: "robbers" sent Linghu Xi's information.

Since the "robbers" want money, Second Young Master Jian is not too worried. The reason for opening a bank is just that there is a lot of money.[

The cunning "robber" changed locations several times. Master Jian made clever arrangements and careful planning, and finally found the mastermind behind the scenes. However, when the truth was revealed, Master Jian was not happy at all, but became furious. It turned out to be several allies. He's plotting against his wife.

In the end, the wife was rescued and the main culprit was killed, but this result was unbearable for Mr. Jian: Xu Mingsu’s identity was no small matter. Even if he was a bastard, he was a member of the Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River. His ancestor Xu Yinshun was ranked as the Minister of Household Affairs. position, after the Ji family was uprooted, the Xu family has become the leader of everyone in Jiangnan.

For such a family, unless it is a serious crime such as rebellion, it will not be easy for them to die. For people like Xu Mingsu, playing with a few women can only be said to be a "deficiency in private morality". Even if the government pursues it, it will not be punished. More fines will do the trick.

It's better now. Xu Mingsu was hung up and whipped half to death by Second Young Master Jian, and was bitten to death by several women. It was a horrible death. One can imagine how furious the Xu family would be when they heard the news.

Apart from Xu Mingsu, Mr. Jian was most troubled by how to deal with his wife.

The Jian family is a wealthy family. If something like this happened, it would be impossible for Linghu Xi to continue to stay in the Jian family as a young lady. Even if Linghu Xi had a thicker skin and quit the Jian family, she would go to the temple to meet the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. It's not okay to be a companion. The Jian family doesn't allow any stain to remain in the world.

Knowing the consequences, Second Young Master Jian was at a loss. Linghu Xi was lying in front of him, looking dying. However, Second Young Master Jian did not call for help, nor did he hold Linghu Xi in his arms like he did just now. Xi cried loudly and just stood there blankly.

"Master, Master." Uncle De called softly twice. Young Master Jian turned his head to look at him blankly, then turned back and stared at Linghu Xi's face.

Uncle De sighed and stopped asking for instructions. Instead, with the cooperation of the leader surnamed Zhu, he immediately made arrangements: first, let the guards stop beating, smashing, and looting, and gathered in the front yard. Some important accounts of the Xu family were sealed. , and then controlled the four women, neither allowing them to commit suicide nor running away. These women were the direct murderers of Xu Mingsu, and they were also evidence of Xu Mingsu's crimes. Then, in the name of Kaibao Bank, he sent people to I have good relations with the officials in Jiangning City and inform them of the situation here.

Of course, Uncle De's most proud move was to seal the gate of the front yard and prohibit ordinary people from entering. As for the Jiangning government officials who came after hearing the news, Uncle De also had them blocked from the gate.

The reason for this is that Uncle De is to prevent this matter from becoming an uproar and getting out of hand. If he really wants to fight, with the background of Kaibao Bank, he may not be afraid of the Xu family. What's more, this matter is Xu Mingsu's beast. During this trip, Kaibao Bank has the right solution.

When the strength is far apart: the word "reason" is nonsense, but when the strength is equal, reasoning is still very important.

As long as the situation is under control, there is a possibility of reconciliation in this matter. Regardless of the deaths this time, from the perspective of an old man like Uncle De, it does not mean that the Xu family and Kaibao Bank will go to war. As long as there are enough For the sake of interests, the two companies may not be able to continue to cooperate.

Of course, if the Xu family insists on fighting, it will not be too late to start a lawsuit. However, in Uncle De's view, as long as an important person like Pang Guogong comes to mediate, the possibility of a full-scale falling out between the two families seems unlikely. big……

Uncle De was making nervous arrangements when suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard. The guards came to report. A large number of Xu family servants arrived and blocked the front and rear doors of the courtyard, trying to rush in.

Uncle De was startled. It didn't matter if the guards from both sides fought again. If the other party rushed in and killed his young master, it would be all over.

"Close the door, close the door, don't let them rush in." Uncle De ordered loudly as he returned to the house. In any case, he first persuaded Young Master Jian to jump over the wall and leave here.

However, as soon as he entered the door, Uncle De was stunned at the door.

At this time, Linghu Xi, who had regained his strength slightly, opened his eyes and staggered up. Facing his wife who had woken up, Jian Ershao was in a complicated mood and had mixed feelings. He did not even show appropriate joy, but just stretched out his hand and made a gesture. In a helpless state, his hand did not touch Linghu Xi at all.[

"Husband." Linghu Xi smiled miserably, not even looking at Uncle De at the door, but looking at Mr. Jian sadly.

Second Young Master Jian's throat rumbled, but he didn't shout out the "Xi'er" that he was most accustomed to saying.

Linghuxi laughed, her voice hoarse like a night owl. Linghuxi had woken up long before burning the incense. Her mood had changed from the initial hope and shame to the current despair and sadness, even though she knew she didn't have it. To survive, Linghu Xi still hopes that Second Young Master Jian can do something, but unfortunately...

In this case, Linghu Xi could only play her role well: "Husband, since I wish you to be your wife in this life, I will let Xi'er be your wife in the next life." Just after saying this, she used up her last strength and slammed her head against the wall.

Second Young Master Jian stretched out his hand to pull, but for some unknown reason, he was a step too slow, causing Linghu Xi to hit the big iron nail protruding from the wall.

"Xi'er." Second Young Master Jian shouted, and he stepped forward to hug Linghu Xi, who had a broken head and bleeding. Tears rolled down his face.

Etiquette is etiquette. Although etiquette is extremely unfair to women, its existence has indeed caused many women to die unexpectedly. Linghu Xi is just one of them. However, from the perspective of karma, Linghu Xi does not seem to be the same. Unjustly accused...

"Xu Mingsu is dead, is the news true?" In the Yousi stronghold, Song Zheng looked at Mu Yu with some surprise.

"It's not wrong." Mu Yu said firmly: "The people from Kaibao Bank broke into Xu Mingsu's house and killed him. The Xu family servants who escaped brought reinforcements and were about to break into the house. Huang Song, Pang Ting arrived, and then people from the Ministry of Punishment also went. Several people went into the yard and muttered for nearly two hours. Later, the people watching the excitement outside were dispersed. Although we don't know how they discussed it, Xu Mingsu was indeed dead. Linghu Xi is also dead. Our people saw several corpses being carried out from inside. The leading Xu family members felt like they were mourning for their heirs, and the second young master Jian looked like he was in a daze."

Song Zheng frowned and thought for a moment: "Whether Xu Mingsu is dead or not, there will always be news out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This is not the key, but judging from the fact that they concealed the inside story and kept it secret, I am afraid that both of them are determined to control the impact of this matter. Although I don’t know how they negotiated it, it’s not a good thing for us.”

"That's right." Muyu nodded and said, "The more they make trouble, the more holes we can exploit. If they collude again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to break the situation."

Song Zheng chuckled and said: "Since everyone is dead, it is not that easy to reconcile. The lawsuit between the two parties will last for a while. Naturally, we cannot let them collude, so we have to add fuel to their fire."

"Oh, the plan will work out."

Song Zheng laughed: "I think Xu Mingxuan will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If we tell Xu Mingxuan that Xu Mingsu was beaten to death for robbing the young lady of the Jian family, Xu Mingxuan will be happy to spread the news widely, and we will add fuel to the flames. If the Xu family is not angry, then even if they want to reconcile, it will be impossible."

Song Zheng waved his hand: "We are not asking Xu Mingxuan to spread the so-called 'truth', but we are asking him to stand up for Xu Mingsu and denounce Second Young Master Jian."

"Ah!" Mu Yu's eyes widened: "Xu Mingxuan hates Xu Mingsu so much, how could he say that he would stand up for Xu Mingsu? Besides, Xu Mingsu is already dead, and Xu Mingxuan will not speak for a dead person."

"Of course not under normal circumstances, but if Xu Mingxuan can be given the opportunity to take over the Xu family, I'm afraid it will be." Song Zheng said calmly.

Xu Mingxuan is not what he used to be. He holds shares in a trading company that the Xu family is jealous of. And the biggest obstacle to the Xu family, Ting Mingsu, is dead. Even Xu Yinshun himself will not fail to consider letting Xu Mingxuan return.

"If Xu Mingxuan returns to the Xu family, wouldn't part of the trading company's shares fall into the hands of the Xu family?" Mu Yu asked worriedly.

"If we change the angle, why not say that the Xu family fell into the hands of the trading house?" Song Zheng said with a smile. If Xu Mingxuan could really return to the Xu family, he would tie the Xu family to the trading house's chariot, thus bringing Xu down. The family was separated from the Jiangnan family.[

The most important thing is that Xu Mingxuan had already left a backup plan. When Xu Mingxuan, Song Zheng and others established Jiangning Huitong Trading Company, they participated in it in the name of Tang Wan. Outsiders never knew about this matter, but Xu Yinshun and Tang Wan can be said to be There is a blood feud. It can be said that if Xu Mingxuan is really allowed to take over the Xu family, Xu Yinshun will definitely be cheated to the death.

Muyu didn't know the inside story, so he would naturally be worried. However, seeing that Song Zheng was confident, it was hard to say anything.

"Even if the Xu family gets into trouble with Kaibao Bank, wouldn't it mean that Datong Bank and Guogong Mansion would have little impact? Then our arrangement would be in vain." Soon, Mu Yu raised another question: "Wanlijia" Inn The arrangement here was originally intended to drag Datong Bank into trouble and take the Duke's Mansion with it.

"So, Xu Mingxuan alone is not enough. Lu Chun is also going to make some moves. No matter what, he will also provoke a conflict between Kaibao and Datong." At this point, Song Zheng sighed: "Our opponent is too powerful. To deal with them, we must break them up bit by bit, pull some to attack others, and not let them have another chance to unite."
