Chapter 293: Can’t afford to eat, afraid of dying
The horse stopped in front of the post station, and then a man jumped off the horse.
The person who got off the horse was Qi Shaojie.
But at this time, Qi Shaojie looked a little embarrassed.
Not only was he covered in dust, but his clothes were torn and stained with blood.
It was obvious that he had a fierce fight with someone.
Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows, "Am I seeing things?
It's strange that I see you at this time!"
Qi Shaojie smiled bitterly, "Master Xu, please stop laughing at me."
He was too arrogant this time. If the Xu family hadn't shown up to help him at the last moment, he would have been completely wiped out.
This is also the reason why he rushed here in a hurry after he seized the lifeline of the Shangguan family.
He had to thank them in person, otherwise his loss would be even greater.
The Xu family is definitely not simple.
The head of the family is right. We can only make friends with the Xu family and not offend them.
The smile on Xu Wuyan's face faded and he shook his head:
“I’m not kidding you.
You just took over the Shangguan family's territory, but instead of consolidating it there, you came here to look for me. What's going on? "
Qi Shaojie nodded, his expression serious:
“Two purposes.
One is to personally thank Young Master Xu for his help.
Another thing is that I have already taken over all of the Shangguan family’s businesses and territories.
I came here to ask Master Xu, what should I do next? "
Qi Shaojie gave the decision-making power to Xu Wuyan.
Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows, "Did you ask the wrong person?
You should ask your master about this matter."
Qi Shaojie was stunned.
Then he straightened up and shook his head:
"Mr. Xu, this is a collaboration between you and my Xu family.
In this cooperation, the Qi family is willing to take the lead from the Xu family."
Xu Wuyan glanced at him in surprise, "What does your master mean?"
Qi Shaojie nodded.
"My master sent a message as quickly as possible, asking us to follow Young Master Xu's advice on everything. Young Master Xu has the final say on how to cooperate!"
Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows.
This was somewhat unexpected for him.
Qi Zhenghuan is playing a big chess game!
Unfortunately, Qi Zhenghuan miscalculated.
Xu Wuyan shook his head. "Our Xu family doesn't care about the Shangguan family's business, but..."
A slight smile appeared on his lips:
"I want salt. My Xu family wants 40% of the salt produced by the salt mine.
We don't want any of the other Xu families, including the Shangguan family's shops, business channels, etc. "
Qi Shaojie was silent.
Although he was very tempted by Xu Wuyan's proposal, 40% of the salt produced by the salt mine would be given to the Xu family. He could not make such a big decision.
If it was 10% or 20%, he could agree to it immediately, but not 40%.
Anyone who does business knows that if you give up 40%, there will be basically no profit.
Although there are shops to make up for it, in the long run, this is not good for the Qi family.
Qi Shaojie raised his head, his expression serious:
"Master Xu, let's be frank. Forty percent, I can't make the decision.
This matter requires the decision of my family's head. I will pass the news back as soon as possible and wait for the head's decision."
Xu Wuyan nodded, "It's okay, you can discuss this matter with your family head slowly.
By the way, we will continue our journey tomorrow.
If you have something to do, there is no need to continue following us.
The next journey will be less than twenty days, so nothing should happen."
If everyone rode horses or carriages, they would arrive within ten days.
But most of the people here have to walk there, so it naturally takes longer.
Qi Shaojie nodded.
Then the two of them chatted in low voices about some other things and left.
When Xu Wuyan returned to the inn, Lin Mo had already eaten his fill.
She handed the meal she had specially reserved for Xu Wuyan to him and lowered her voice:
"What did Qi Shaojie talk to you about?"
The Qi family had just swallowed up everything from the Shangguan family, and it was a busy time.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Qi Shaojie showed up here and said everything was fine, but no one believed him.
Xu Wuyan nodded and told her everything.
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyi looked at Xu Wuyan in surprise, "Are you really asking him for 40%?
Qi Shaojie probably didn't agree to your request."
Forty percent, what’s the difference between this and taking over the salt mine?
After all, the 40% that Lao Xu mentioned is not the 40% after deducting all costs.
But 40% of the salt comes out.
After deducting various costs, there is not much left of the remaining 60%.
This is equivalent to asking the Qi family to work for Lao Xu. It would be strange if the Qi family agreed.
Old Xu is such a dark-minded guy!
"So he didn't agree to me." Xu Wuyan swallowed the words in his mouth and shook his head:
"I estimate he will give 30%."
Lin Mo shook his head, looking disapproving:
"Even 30% is hard to come by. This has already caused the Qi family to bleed heavily."
After all, they were planning to do nothing.
"Madam, what if I say they are willing to give 30%?" Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows:
"How about a bet?"
Lin Mo looked at him, "Are you setting a trap for me?
But this time, I really played with you!"
Qi Zhenghuan would never go against money.
Lin Mo's lips curled slightly, "Where's the bet?"
Xu Wuyan smiled, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and soon the blush spread from her cheeks to her ears.
Look at his confident look, gritting his teeth:
"good!"
She was waiting to see him get slapped in the face!
…
The next day.
Before dawn, Lao Wei came over and urged everyone to pack up and get ready to leave.
The Xu family had already gotten up and packed their things, and were now eating breakfast with their bowls in hand.
The hot porridge dispelled the early morning chill.
Seeing that Lao Wei was about to leave after shouting, Xu Wuyan quickly said:
"Master Wei, I see you haven't prepared breakfast yet. How about eating some together?"
Seeing him looking over here, Xu Wuyan shook the bowl in his hand:
"We're ready. This is meat porridge. It's very delicious. Would you like a bowl?"
Lao Wei snorted coldly, "I can't afford it, I'm afraid my life will be short!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Wuyan's behavior is like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken with ulterior motives!
After eating his bowl of porridge, I don’t know what the price will be in the future.
He can't afford it!
Looking at Lao Wei's leaving back, Xu Wuyan, "..."
Why did he see disgust in Lao Wei's eyes?
Did he do anything disgusting today?
Xu Wuyan turned his head to look at Lin Mo who was eating with gusto:
"Madam, do you think Master Wei has a big problem with me?
I invited him to breakfast with good intentions, but he didn't treat me well. The child felt wronged!"
Lin Mo raised her head and glanced at him calmly:
"To be honest, if you suddenly asked me to eat, I wouldn't dare to eat, for fear that you were plotting against me!"
Xu Wuyan, "..."
"Am I that kind of person?"
"Yes!" Lin Mo gave him a very affirmative answer!
Xu Wuyan touched his nose in frustration. He just had good intentions and no ulterior motive. He just wanted to invite Mr. Wei to have breakfast. How come it became a conspiracy theory in their eyes?
depressed!
"Stop pretending and eat your breakfast quickly. It's time to set off after that." Lin Mo glanced at him.
Then he ignored him and buried his head in eating the porridge in his hand.
At this moment, Shen Qingyun and his son looked towards the Xu family from time to time.
Shen Zhixuan frowned, "Dad really doesn't care?"
Shen Qingyun turned his eyes away from the Xu family and shook his head indifferently:
"I don't care, I can't afford to care!"
When he said this, Shen Qingyun felt a chill in his heart.
He and Zhou Yuxuan have been married for more than 20 years, and he thought he knew what kind of person she was, but now he didn't dare to say it.
Ever since her facial injury healed, everything she did was extraordinarily out of the ordinary and chilling.
Although they only heard a small part of what happened in the Shangguan family yesterday, they couldn't help but feel horrified.
Dozens of people died just like that!
And it’s all related to Zhou Yuxuan.
Shen Qingyun looked at his frowning son and shook his head:
"She's no longer your mother. She's a lunatic. We can't control her, and there's no way we can do that. If you think about what she's done during this time, you'll know whether she's worth saving.
What's more, the Shangguan family is the local boss here, we can't afford to offend them!"
There was indifference and alienation in Shen Qingyun's voice.
Not only did that woman offend the Xu family, but now she has also offended the entire Shangguan family and killed so many people. Her fate has long been predictable, and she will definitely die.
If I were to save her, I would have to sacrifice the entire Shen family.
What's more, the Shen family members will not agree to let him save her. Before it was Shen Qingxuan, and now it is Shen Yong. No one knows who she will harm next!
A gloomy look flashed in Shen Qingyun's eyes, so he couldn't take the risk.
Shen Yong...
Because of Zhou Yuxuan and the Shangguan family, he was firmly identified as the murderer, and he was in great danger.
That woman is a disaster, he can't let her harm the Shen family anymore.
Shen Zhixuan nodded.
He didn't think about these things, turned around and asked people to pack up and prepare to leave.
Shen Yong's family rushed over to ask about Shen Yong's situation. Shen Zhixuan didn't know how to answer. In the end, Shen Qingyun came to rescue him.
Walking to a deserted place, Shen Zhixuan let out a breath and sat there in a daze.
He didn't understand why his Shen family had become like this?
Finally, he couldn't help but look towards the Xu family.
The Shen family and the Xu family are really worlds apart now.
The next second, Shen Zhixuan's eyes became serious and he suddenly stood up from the ground.
That is...
