In the afternoon of early winter, the sunlight and the tea house are like a confrontational atmosphere.
"Sure enough... you did it..."
To be honest, this is not the development process Wu Qilong imagined, although he would have guessed Ning Yi, guessed Su Taner, guessed the situation facing the Wu family this time, and had already reached a preliminary conclusion. But in fact, at least today, he never thought that Ning Yi would say such a sentence.
Guessing is guesswork after all. After guessing, there is always a process of verification. In the past two days, he greeted Ning Yi, including sitting down in front of the other party at this time. He was still thinking about how to test and how to see from the other party's behavior. Some clues come. A moment ago, he heard Ning Yi talk about the chemical, metal, and so on, and he was still thinking that the fabric fading this time had something to do with him? This is also a guessing process of gradually stacking up chips and moving towards identification, but he did not expect that the other party just glanced at him like that, and directly overturned everything, verifying the doubts in his heart.
This was originally unreasonable. After setting up the game, should you choose a showdown at this time? Not on a formal occasion, not after careful consideration, but just in this early winter afternoon, in a seemingly casual place, I even talked about such a thing casually. All kinds of stunned feelings surged in Wu Qilong's heart. Even though Ning Yi had already been prepared to set up a situation before, the sense of confusion that suddenly surged up was indescribable.
However, Ning Yi just glanced at him, then lowered his head and started pouring tea for himself.
"You look angry, why?"
These words were indifferent, Ning Yi took a sip from the teacup, his expression unchanged. Wu Qilong clenched his teeth almost suddenly.
Why are you angry? Of course because...
because…
He laughed suddenly, turned his head to look around, and then leaned back on the back of the chair: "As expected, you did it... Everyone missed it..."
Ning Yi shook his head and didn't pay much attention to the matter: "The matter between the Su family and the Wu family is already like this. What's the difference between who did it... How bad is the situation over there?"
Unexpectedly, Ning Yi would ask this sentence with a flat expression and take it for granted. Wu Qilong was stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter: "How is the situation, don't you know?"
"It's not very clear. The house has been in a mess recently. Besides, I haven't asked about it for more than a month."
"You..." Wu Qilong tilted his head and widened his eyes, "No more questions!?"
This incident began to appear a few months ago. It can even be said that the Su family has been preparing since a few years ago. It has developed to the present, and it has affected many people and things, and how many people are still rushing and panicking about it. In addition, the amount of money involved in the past few months is probably dozens or even millions of taels. At a time like this, when he found a key person, the other party actually said that I hadn't asked about it more than a month ago!
He looked at Ning Yi, which was absurd. Ning Yi looked at him for a while, then smiled, and stretched out his hand to close the book next to him: "It's just a matter of doing the math. Tan'er has mentioned it several times at home recently, and I heard that she has started spreading rumors outside. That's probably about the time."
"... She really put the rumors, right?"
"Well, yes." It seemed as if he was talking about a good thing that was no different from helping others, Ning Yi nodded sincerely, his voice was not high, but it sounded clear, "It's not concrete news yet, I will consider putting it out, you have made an appointment with the weaving bureau, the delivery date of the first batch should be coming soon, and it will be almost there by then."
The absurd atmosphere seemed to permeate the entire teahouse. On the one hand, Wu Qilong could understand these words, but on the other hand, he felt that he was in a completely unrealistic environment. Ning Yi's tone was calm and his attitude was sincere, as if With an attitude of doing nothing but talking to others, it seems that he is completely out of the way, stating everything from the perspective of a bystander. Right now, Su Tan'er started to spread rumors, and then she would start to release specific news, and she said it without any cover. He had never seen such a person before, and this kind of talk, negotiation and confrontation was downright absurd.
But one thing is the most ironic, no matter how clearly he knows these steps, he can't stop the other party from saying these things.
Wu Qilong looked at Ning Yi absurdly like this, unable to organize his words for a while, Ning Yi also looked outside the restaurant while drinking tea, waiting for his recovery. After a long while, Wu Qilong took a deep breath and nodded with gritted teeth: "So, you think it's time for a showdown, don't you?"
Ning Yi pursed his lips and thought, shook his head and nodded again: "Uh, it doesn't count... It doesn't matter. In general, this is not my business. It's up to you and Tan'er to negotiate."
"Then... what are you?"
"It's a coincidence... on a whim... Probably anything will do." Ning Yi smiled, "Anyway, you've already realized that since you're here today, I'm free, you want to talk about this, so it doesn't matter if I tell you, In fact, if it's earlier, you can also have time to consider and buffer, and I think it will be better for the Su family." He raised his glass and took a sip of tea.
Wu Qilong calmed down and approached the table: "So, Ning Liheng, what do you think is the best?"
"Whatever Tan'er wants, you can give it to her." Ning Yi shook his head, "This saves a lot of trouble."
"How do I know what your lady wants?"
"Sincerely, everything you can take out, the big room of the Su family can eat..."
"… all!?"
"Well, all."
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, Wu Qilong smiled coldly but sarcastically, Ning Yi's expression was indifferent, as sincere as a three-year-old child. After a while, Wu Qilong took a deep breath: "Okay, Brother Ning, might as well give an example, what does all this mean?"
"Everything means everything. The places where the Su family has been laid out recently, er... Luzhou, Shouzhou, Gwangju, Hezhou, Xuanzhou..." Ning Yi seemed to be counting with his fingers, "These places, The share that can be released in business, some more convenient real estate, uh, several kinds of cloth formulas, I heard Tan'er mention several, one seems to be very dense stitches... It's your Wu family's unique. method, after all, some shares and business need to be coordinated to be handed over smoothly, and then…”
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Qilong slapped his palm on the table: "Ning Liheng! Do you know what you are talking about! You are here today, in front of me, asking me for half of Wu's family !?"
"It should be less than half." Ning Yi glanced at him, "The Su family has also been in turmoil recently, and the Wu family has a solid background. Tan'er alone can't eat half of the Wu family, just try to eat as much as possible. One-third of the Wu family is not used, and it is close to saturation. With this third, although there is no royal merchant, it is enough to prove that Tan'er is qualified to be the head of the Su family. In addition, the most important thing is not this Point, what she is most angry about this time, what is the most angry and most concerned about the Su family, you should understand that you must be sincere at that time, there is only one chance... "
"Do! Dream!" Wu Qilong gritted his teeth, "You guys really think my Wu family is over, just because of this little thing? My Wu family has been around for so many years..."
"It's human nature, everyone thinks this way at the beginning." Ning Yi interrupted him lightly, "Dreams, fools talk about dreams, and people are not enough to swallow an elephant, no one would let them out. So I said that it is almost possible to get rid of them. The words are clear. In fact, in a month and a half, I have done almost everything here, the faded cloth... "
"We will let the Weaving Bureau postpone, but let's see how long your Su family can last."
"Yeah, postponed..."
"So, you spread rumors that my Wujia's cloth has faded, even if you say it, even if it has an impact for a while, to confirm these will have to wait until my Wujia delivery, what can you do?"
Ning Yi glanced at him and sighed: "Well, what is said will definitely be said, in fact, we don't hope that after ten days, because the news spreads, other cloth merchants will be somewhat prepared. When we take it down, it will take a little effort. Go and take it yourself, it is better for you to take it... Oh, by the way, shopkeeper Liao has already gone to the capital, I don't know if you know about this..."
"you… "
"I heard that he used to run back and forth in the capital, and he knew a few big cloth merchants and had a lot of connections. This time, he brought some money up - the Su family's big room has only so much money left, anyway, he brought all of them with him. In the past. Mainly to make the Wu family a crime of deceiving the king."
In Wu Qilong's distorted expression, Ning Yi shook his head with a smile: "Actually, I know what you think, the cloth has only faded, and if you say it is too big, it will deceive the king, but the sage has always been generous over the years, similar to the imperial decree of copying the family and exterminating the family. Of course, it won't come down easily. The Su family is related, and the Wu family is also related, but they are not very related. If both parties are operating, it is to look at the mood above, but this is also a bargaining chip after all. It would definitely be useful to spend 20,000,000,000 taels of money. If the Wu family accepts the penalty, the result may be better. Uh... If you guys are sincere, Tan'er will actually ask the shopkeeper Liao to help the Wu family speak. , the punishment won't be very light, but after all, it is too exaggerated to loot the family and exterminate the family..."
Wu Qilong gritted his teeth and smiled: "You also know that the crime of deceiving the king will not be easily convicted..."
"But there's going to be a war, Qilong." Ning Yi took the teapot and reached out to Wu Qilong to fill the teacup in front of him, "Over the years, what do you need most in a war? Money. Everyone sees it from the war. When it comes to business opportunities, don’t you think about this? Although the Wu Dynasty was verbally prosperous and prosperous, the country was always short of money. The three armies did not move their food and grass first. Not enough. We don't know when the fight will take place, but surely everything will be decided before the fight, does anyone know if it's decided now?"
He looked at Wu Qilong: "If there is no decision, there is still a chance to turn around, but, tsk... Will it be decided tomorrow? Or at the end of this month? Next month? Saisuke and officials at all levels in the three provinces and six ministries have to worry about money. Your Wu family has such a solid background, how much money can you spend? I don't know this very well, anyway, it's a lot, a few million taels? Tens of millions Two? Wouldn't I say too much... just happened to meet... "
Wu Qilong's face was already pale, Ning Yi sighed and comforted softly: "Don't think too much, once things get serious, your Wu family will definitely be sacked and wiped out, and you can't escape..."
