The old priest nodded expressionlessly towards the outside of the ancestral hall.
The game of cards in the ancestral hall continued, Tang Sanshiliu kept talking while touching and playing cards.
Probably one of the three or two gossips is an order, an order to the entire Tang family.
His instructions are very clear and precise, so clear that even the most stupid subordinates know what their tasks are, and they are accurate to which room, table and drawer at the destination.
As his voice echoed in the ancestral hall, the expressions of the other three people on the table became more and more solemn, and the eyes of the old priest narrowed. Regardless of the old priest, the other three people at the card table, or the stewards waiting outside the ancestral hall, none of them thought that Tang Sanshiliu would be imprisoned in the ancestral hall for half a year, and even cut off from the family business by the old man for three years. The internal situation is still so clear.
What surprised the old priest the most was that Tang Sanshiliu knew very well the old master Tang's methods of managing the Tang family, even the most secretive methods.
——Yunzu, Chuantang, and Fengtang are all the deacons of the Tang family, how could he know that Song Shisan Medicine Store is one of the law halls of the old house
The old priest glanced at the three people on the table, and suddenly felt that today's affairs were a bit troublesome.
It seems that Tang Thirty-Six randomly picked three elders from each house, but of course the old priest knew the meaning behind it.
These three people are not the manpower used by the second master of the Tang family to manage the affairs of the Tang family, but they play a more important role in private, because the three of them are used to restrict those managers.
The old lady Tang asked the old priest to come to the ancestral hall to ensure that if the second room couldn't bear the pressure and started to fight back, they could only use other means instead of using forceful means to deal with Tang Thirty-Six.
Only in this way can Tang Thirty-Six let go of things.
The old priest suddenly realized that Mrs. Tang and himself seemed to have underestimated Tang Thirty-Six.
If Tang Sanshiliu was really allowed to make unrestricted shots, with his current understanding of the Tang family, he might be able to wipe out the power of the second room in less than an hour.
Even if we can't find evidence that the second master of the Tang family was poisoned and colluded with the demons, so what
"You can't kill people." The old priest reminded Tang Thirty-Six: "This is the old man's confession."
Tang Thirty-Six held a card in his hand and was about to throw it out. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's really unlucky, Coffin."
With a slap, the mahjong tile fell on the shiny black table. It turned out to be an eight-tube.
Seventh Uncle forced a smile on his face and said, "Nonsense."
Tang Thirty-Six was not depressed at all, looked at the old priest and said: "If you can't kill, you can always use torture, right?"
Hearing the word of punishment, the faces of the people around the table turned pale.
Uncle Qi reached out to pick up the eight tubes in front of him, but he froze in mid-air when he heard this, looking very embarrassed.
…
…
Wenshui City in the snowstorm is still very quiet. All businesses and ordinary people are hiding at home according to the orders of the clan.
I don't know when it started, many men wearing Tang's deacon uniforms left the old house, the medicine store, and many places, and walked somewhere in the wind and snow.
Zhuyuan, Jingyu, Hesi and even the two-bedroom manor by the Wenshui River were all surrounded, countless books were dug out from the cabinets, and dozens of stewards and shopkeepers were driven outside the door into the snowstorm, with their hands in their hands. Tied by a thin straw rope, to be interrogated or released later.
These places that were confiscated are the core industries of the Tang family. In the past few years, the second master of the Tang family has basically taken care of them himself. He has already been replaced by a loyal manager. He was very tall. He had never received this kind of treatment before, so he naturally made a fuss.
The most intense conflict occurred in the second-bedroom manor by the Wenshui River.
Even through the violent wind and snow, the shopkeeper in charge could still see the figures on the other side of the river looking out.
It should be the person in the long room.
Thinking of being watched by the other party today, the shopkeepers in charge felt so ashamed and annoyed those who came to inspect it.
If they were to do things differently, no matter if it was the people from the Maple Group or the managers of the Song Shisan Medicine Store, which they only knew today belonged to the old house, how dare they be so rude to them, at least they would give some explanations. However, today these people seem to have changed their faces, as if they don't know them.
There is a quieter study somewhere in the manor less than two miles away from the confiscated miscellaneous study.
The windows of the study room are made of the most transparent glass, even though it is covered by snow clouds in winter, the room is still full of light without any gloomy feeling.
The second master of the Tang family stood in front of the window, watching the flying snowflakes, slowly opened his mouth, and laughed silently.
The recent chaos has made the entire Wenshui City feel tense and uneasy, not to mention the people in the second room, but he is very calm. Because he has managed the Tang family for three years, he knows more things, including the two conversations in the old house, and the specific content of the agreement between his father and Chen Changsheng.
Poison? As long as Chusu cannot be caught, there will be no evidence, and the Changshengzong's ten thousand years of accumulation has left such a monster of Huangquanliu today, so it is so easy to be caught, he knows that his father was just caught by Chen Changsheng and The state religion forced me to make some gestures.
What was really troublesome was the shout that pierced through the wind and snow.
I colluded with the demons? The silent smile of the second master of the Tang family gradually turned cold, thinking that this is really a great humiliation, but it is also dirty water that is difficult to wash away. Li Shan Jianzong actually got involved in this matter. Shouting is really ruthless to the extreme.
"You really raised a good son." He said looking at the wind and snow outside the window.
It turned out that there were always people in the study.
Patriarch Qiushan quietly came to Wenshui City a few days ago, and has been living in the manor of the second bedroom of the Tang family.
"My son is certainly not bad if he can push you to this level, Second Master."
He looked at the back of the second master of the Tang family and said, with an undisguised smile of relief, without any shame or apology at all.
The second master of the Tang family didn't turn around, but his voice became cold: "You can handle your own family affairs by yourself."
Patriarch Qiushan stood up and said with a smile: "My Qiushan family is different from your Tang family. Although I am the head of the family, my son can speak better than me. Alas, I originally wanted to help him, but it seems that instead It’s causing him trouble again, so I’d better leave quickly.”
After saying this, he actually left.
Looking at the clear footprints on the snow outside the window, the second master of the Tang family gradually narrowed his eyes.
He knew very well that with the departure of Patriarch Qiushan, the so-called alliance of the four great families came to an end.
What an old fox.
He is not afraid of old foxes, he has dealt with all kinds of old foxes since he was a child.
The problem is that this is the first time he has seen such a shameless old fox like Patriarch Qiushan.
The steward hurried into the study, reported the situation in front of the manor, and then asked hesitantly, "Should I hide the important things?"
The second master of the Tang family said: "It seems that my eldest nephew has not wasted the past three years, and has already mastered a lot of things. If this is the case, how can he hide it? Let them make trouble. It will be nothing but a farce in the end."
The steward was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then became extremely puzzled.
In the eyes of him and many people in the Tang family, even if Tang Sanshiliu was in charge of this plagiarism, he could not obtain any evidence in the end, but this plagiarism itself has explained some very important issues.
Old Mrs. Tang's trust in Second Master has been shaken. And obviously, even if the second master has been in charge of the affairs of the Tang family for three years, it seems that he has become the master of the Tang family, but in fact it only needs the old man to say something, some people come out of the old house, this Wenshui City And the entire Tang family still belongs to the old man.
The second master of the Tang family knew what the steward was thinking, and what everyone was thinking.
But he didn't explain, and he didn't bother to explain.
He just watched the wind and snow outside the window silently, smiling silently.
There was an indescribable mockery in that smile.
