"Alright then! We'll come again tomorrow!"

The burly man said nothing more, then turned and left. With someone taking the lead, the other people also left the Su family's shop looking disappointed.

Even the people queuing at other shops returned home, preparing to come back to Su's shop the next day. The once bustling East Market quickly became deserted.

In the backyard of the Su family shop, the Su family manager slowly woke up and looked at the shop assistant sitting next to him.

The waiter said guiltily, "Uh... Boss, the doctor said there's nothing wrong, why are you using so much?"

"That's good, that's good!"

The shopkeeper of the Su family finally felt relieved. Seeing that his shopkeeper had not noticed, the shop assistant secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of the Su family lowering prices again has reached the ears of the powerful families in Jizhou, causing them to transfer all their hatred from the Zhen family to the Su family.

Several local powerful figures from Ye City also gathered together, each with an extremely grim expression.

One of the leading tyrants couldn't help but shout angrily, "Hmph~ First there was the Zhen family, and now there's the Su family. Are they trying to kill us all?"

One of the powerful figures said dejectedly, "The Zhen family has entered the Emperor's Imperial Guard. Things are different now. The Su family is backed by Governor Liu Yan, and we can't afford to offend them either!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the other powerful figures all shook their heads and sighed.

One of the powerful figures couldn't help but ask, "So what should we do? Should we lower the price too?"

Everyone fell silent. Two hundred coins was already the cost price. Selling it wouldn't make a profit, but keeping it in the warehouse would just look nice.

The leader of the powerful families spoke up, saying, "Let's wait and see what tricks the Su family is up to. We should also discuss with the Zhen family whether we can join forces to deal with the Su family!"

"That's right. Since we can't afford to offend either of them, let's pick the weakest one first and wipe out the Su family first!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. In their view, Liu Yan was merely an outsider governor, who was obviously easier to deal with than the emperor.

After discussing the matter, everyone dispersed, and the leading powerful figure sent people to the Zhen family.

Upon meeting Zhen Yu, the powerful man's subordinate explained their purpose.

Looking at the newcomer, Zhen Yu laughed and said, "Good! Go back and tell your family head that when it comes to suppressing the Su family, my Zhen family will never lag behind. This time, my Zhen family will take the lead!"

Zhen Yu readily agreed to join forces with the powerful families to deal with the Su family.

In an instant, the Su family and Liu Yan became thorns in the side of the powerful families and clans of Ji Province, targets of public resentment.
