"You came to Wenshui City not to investigate anything, but to show your strength through this matter and shake my position in my father's heart. Now Li Palace doesn't support me, Shengnvfeng doesn't support me, Huaiyuan doesn't support me, Li Shan does not support me, and now even the Qiu Shan family no longer supports me. He also said that I colluded with the demons and ruined my reputation. Even if I don’t care, no one dares to mention it afterwards, but father must consider these things.”
The second master of the Tang family looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Actually, you are much smarter than the world and believers think, and Qiushan and my nephew, although you are young, your methods are not bad. It seems that you have really messed up the situation, and it will be a little troublesome to solve the current situation."
Chen Changsheng said: "Can I understand that you have previously admitted that you have colluded with the demons?"
The second master of the Tang family laughed, but still didn't make a sound, then suppressed his smile, looked at everyone like an idiot, and said, "Of course I won't admit to colluding with the demons, and even if I did, so what? Don't you think, Can you really wipe out the entire demon clan? There will be a truce in the end, how can we achieve long-term peace? Trade and exchanges are all, and I just do some work in advance."
Everyone was silent after hearing the words, and the old house became quiet again.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Changsheng said, "Your opinion is actually reasonable, but in this situation, it's not right for you to do so."
"What's wrong? My father taught us since childhood that the Tang family is a businessman, a businessman is a businessman, and what they want is to make money."
The second master of the Tang family looked at him and said with a slight sarcasm, "Is there any kind of money that is dirtier?"
At this time, a voice sounded.
"Sometimes a businessman can't just be a businessman."
It was Mrs. Tang who spoke.
His eyes fell on the wind and snow outside the house, wondering if he remembered the heavy snowfall in Luoyang City many years ago.
"Some things may be right if you do them hundreds of years later, but if you do them now, you will be wrong."
…
…
Old Mrs. Tang's words are the conclusion of this matter.
Obviously, the second master of the Tang family didn't expect his father to say such a thing.
He looked at old Mrs. Tang quietly, without anger or despair, just looking at him like this.
Then he laughed silently again, still full of sarcasm and malice, but this time he was more tired and relieved.
The conclusion has been made, so what will be the end
What happened next was an internal affair of the Tang family. Ling Haizhiwang, Zhexiu and others withdrew from the old house. Apart from Mrs. Tang and his son, only Chen Changsheng was left in the house.
The old lady Tang looked at the second master of the Tang family and said, "I said a lot to you when you were young, some of which you remember today, such as the sentence you said earlier, then do you still remember that I once said to you, no matter The Tang family is still the Qiushan family or the Wu family's Muzhe family, why can it last for so many years without any interruption in the family history?"
The second master of the Tang family looked at the wind and snow outside, and said, "Because our family has never had civil strife."
Old Mrs. Tang didn't care. He turned his back to himself and said, "Yes, for a family like ours, no matter how heavy the wind and rain outside, it is dangerous, but if it starts to rot from the inside, it will be dangerous. Think about the family in Tianliang County. When the several families were at their peak, it was as if the scorching sun was in the sky, but now they are gradually withering. Only the Chen family sits on the throne, and because of internal strife, it was almost exterminated several times, so the four of us are the most vigilant about this matter, thinking about it There are countless methods. I used to think that my method was correct, and I would not let you each have children before Brother Tang took charge of the family, so as to cut off your thoughts and those peeping eyes that might be cast on you. "
The second master of the Tang family turned to look at his father, and said expressionlessly: "But have you ever thought that this is very unfair to us?"
"Yes, it's really unfair, but now you are not qualified to say that." Mrs. Tang also said with a blank expression, "Because I later changed my mind and wanted to pass this family to you, and you now have descendants, so I don't understand why you want to poison your elder brother."
The second master of the Tang family was silent and did not speak.
Old Mrs. Tang said: "Of course, it doesn't matter even if it is poisoned. As you said, our Tang family is a merchant. What can't we do for money?"
The second master of the Tang family knew that his father's words must not be finished, so he remained silent.
"But you're in a hurry."
Mrs. Tang looked at him and said earnestly, "Before doing these things, did you ask me a question? Did you even test my mind?"
The second master of the Tang family couldn't keep silent anymore, because he really wanted to laugh, so he laughed and said, "Do you need it?"
I don't know if he was irritated by his attitude or this sentence, the old man Tang's face turned cold, and he scolded in a deep voice: "What do you think? Is this your Tang family or my Tang family? It must be your Tang family in the future, but This is still mine now! Since it is my Tang family, what right do you have to do so many things without telling me!"
The second master of the Tang family looked at him quietly, remained silent for a long time, and then said with a slight mockery: "It really is."
I don't know if he is mocking himself or the world.
Old Mrs. Tang said, "What did you say?"
"It's useless to say anything, and everything you say is false. Father, what you need is not reason at all, but awe. You just want to keep your own mystery. You hide in the old house and play cards every day. Naturally, these sons take care of things for you. As for the family business, if it is done well, praise it, if it is broken, it will be troublesome, and it will be thrown away like a rag."
The second master of the Tang family looked at his father and said with emotion: "Yes, besides whether the Tang family is your Tang family, what else do you need to care about?"
Mrs. Tang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "That's because you did something I can't stand."
"Can't bear it?" The second master of the Tang family suddenly raised his voice, "Didn't you just say that as long as the family business is undefeated, it doesn't matter if you are poisoned to death!"
Old Mrs. Tang said with a blank face: "I can say that, but you can't do it, don't you understand this?"
The second master of the Tang family said coldly: "Because I'm too ruthless? The dean of business thinks highly of me and is willing to use the power of the court to support me, isn't it because I'm so ruthless like you."
Old Mrs. Tang's eyes narrowed even more, and after a long silence, he said, "This is what you let me down the most today."
The face of the second master of the Tang family was full of sarcasm, and he didn't respond.
Mrs. Tang said: "I have known Shang Shang for hundreds of years, and I am a true fellow. I know his strength, spiritual strength, and when you say this, it means that you have surrendered to him spiritually. He, the Tang family can only cooperate with him, if this continues, you will ruin the Tang family."
Hearing these words, the second master of the Tang family also narrowed his eyes.
"What about you? Have you really thought about handing over the Tang family to me?"
His voice also lowered, but it was not calm, as if filled with hatred for many years: "Yes, you have thought about it in the past three years, but in the end you made up your mind because I used poison to kill big brother, because you The grandson who had high hopes was so stupid that he insisted on taking Chen Changsheng's side, and you had no choice but to choose me."
Old Mrs. Tang said: "If you don't give this home to you, who else can you give it to?"
"To whom?" The second master of the Tang family laughed nervously, and made an extremely rare voice: "Hahahaha... for who?"
He shouted angrily: "Do you think I really don't know, that guy came to the old house three days ago? Did you tell me about this? No! Because you are afraid that I and the court will attack him, because here It’s Wenshui City! Do you still have hope for him? After so many years, do you still think I’m not as good as him? But don’t forget that his surname is Wang, not Tang! Who is your son!”
