Realizing that they had been cheated, the entire Su family was filled with gloom.
The Su family has already sent people to the Muzhou Marquis family.
Even if he couldn't settle accounts with the Hou family, he had to ask them to first pay back the two hundred thousand taels of silver that Hou Shikai owed to the Su family.
If they could get the two hundred thousand taels of silver back and sell some of their property, the Su family's businesses could be sustained for a while longer, and perhaps the situation could be stabilized.
Now, these two hundred thousand taels of silver are extremely important to the Su family.
Just as the Su family's people were anxiously waiting for news from the people sent to collect the debts, Su Songbo's housekeeper hurried in and whispered in Su Songbo's ear.
"What?"
Su Songbo's expression changed drastically, "Are you sure?"
The housekeeper shook his head quickly: "I'm not sure, I just heard it by accident! It is said that it was a servant of Su Henian's family who accidentally let it slip..."
Listening to the housekeeper's words, Su Songbo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
...
...
He also heard it from his grandson.
When Pang Lushan was teaching how to make sugar, only Su Huaimin and Hou Shikai were there.
Everyone else was sent away.
Pang Lushan seemed to have told Hou Shikai that the fewer people involved in this business, the better!
This means that Su Huaimin is indeed suspected of monopolizing the method of making white sugar!
Su Songbo thought about it silently, and immediately ordered the butler: "Go and invite the other five elders to come here immediately!"
"yes!"
The butler hurried away.
Soon, the five elders except Su Henian gathered at Su Songbo's house.
Su Songbo did not waste any time and directly told the five elders the news that the housekeeper had said.
After hearing Su Songbo's words, the five people's faces suddenly fell.
"Whether it is true or not is easy to verify! We can find out by searching Su Henian's warehouse!"
"Yes! This matter must be clarified!"
"Su Henian wants to keep the method of making white sugar for himself, no way!"
"Let's go, gather the tribesmen now and go check it out!"
"No, no! We can't make a big fuss. If we make too much noise, they might move the sugar from the warehouse!"
The five people had gloomy faces and vowed to get to the bottom of this matter.
They have spent a lot of money and can't be cheated in such an unclear way!
We have to check the warehouse to find out who is cheating us!
After a brief discussion, the six people immediately gathered their own people and quickly headed for Su Henian's house.
"Everyone, what are you doing?"
Faced with so many people coming to his door, Su Henian, who had not yet recovered from being cheated out of a huge amount of money, was a little confused.
"You'll know soon!"
Su Songbo didn't say much. He called everyone and rushed directly to Su Henian's warehouse.
A large group of people surrounded the warehouse, making it impossible to get in or out.
"Open the warehouse!"
Su Songbo was too lazy to talk to the people guarding the warehouse and just gave orders directly.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Su Henian, who followed in, was full of anger, "Isn't my Su family chaotic enough?"
"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Why do you want to open my warehouse as soon as you come? What's going on?"
Su Huaimin's face looked very bad.
He wanted to open his own warehouse as soon as he arrived, without even an explanation?
What do you take them for?
This is his family’s warehouse. Why do Su Songbo and his men have the right to open his own warehouse?
"I heard from someone that you, Su Huaimin, actually know how to make white sugar from brown sugar, but you just want to monopolize this way to make money, so you deliberately said that you were cheated! In fact, you have already started making white sugar secretly!"
Su Songbo stared at Su Huaimin coldly, his face filled with anger.
"Slander! This is absolutely slander!"
Su Huaimin was anxious and said angrily: "How could I do such a thing? This is clearly malicious slander!"
An elder looked over and snorted, "Whether it's malicious slander or not, let me check the warehouse and I'll know!"
"Yes! If you have nothing to hide, let me check the warehouse!"
Another elder of the tribe followed suit.
"Let's check the warehouse!"
"We must check the warehouse!"
"Whether you are innocent or not, we will know it after checking!"
"If you don't let us investigate, you must be hiding something!"
"right……"
At once, everyone spoke up.
Everyone pointed their finger at Su Huaimin.
We have to check the warehouse today no matter what, no matter who comes, it will be useless!
They can't let themselves be unaware of who has cheated them of their money!
Looking at the excited crowd, Su Henian couldn't help but tremble with anger, "Okay, I'll let you investigate! If you can't find out the cause today, you must give me an explanation!"
"good!"
The six elders all agreed.
Su Huaimin had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He felt that this might be a serial trap, and he gradually realized that it was a serial trap.
Maybe Yun Zheng sent an expert to secretly put sugar into his own warehouse!
This is to intensify the conflicts within the Su family and achieve the goal of dividing the Su family!
However, now these people have gathered around.
It definitely won’t work without opening the warehouse for inspection.
what to do?
What should I do now?
Su Songbo noticed Su Huaimin's expression and snorted coldly: "Huaimin, the warehouse hasn't been checked yet! Why are you panicking?"
"I...I'm not panicking!"
Su Huaimin suppressed his panic and said, "I am upright and have nothing to fear. If you want to investigate, go ahead! Dagui, open the warehouse!"
"yes!"
Soon, the warehouse was opened.
The six elders did not go in to investigate, but let their descendants do it instead.
As soon as everyone rushed into the warehouse, they began to check carefully.
“Found it!”
Less than a quarter of an hour later, a loud scream was heard from inside the warehouse.
As this voice sounded, Su Huaimin's heart trembled.
Did I really guess it right?
Soon, several young and strong men of the Su family ran out carrying three baskets of wrapped sugar. The three baskets of sugar only had a little bit on the bottom, which was covered with some cloth before, so it was hidden very well.
One of the packets of sugar had been opened.
Su Songbo and others immediately came forward to taste it and confirmed that it was undoubtedly white sugar.
"Su Huaimin, do you have anything else to say?"
Su Songbo suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Huaimin with anger on his face.
"I……"
Su Huaimin wanted to cry but had no tears. He shouted angrily, "This must have been secretly put in by Yun Zheng! Yun Zheng wanted to frame me and make the Su family fight among themselves!"
"Don't blame Yun Zheng for everything!"
Su Songbo snorted coldly: "Is there no one guarding your warehouse? Yun Zheng put it in just because he said so? If Yun Zheng has this ability, he would have emptied our warehouses long ago, right?"
"Su Huaimin, you are nothing!"
A gray-haired elder pointed at Su Huaimin's nose with his beard trembling, angrily scolding: "At this time, you still want to push this matter onto Yun Zheng! Do you still want to keep the method of making white sugar to yourself?"
"There must be a misunderstanding here!" Su Henian tried hard to calm everyone down: "The reason why my Su family can become the number one clan in Fuzhou is because we are united! Everyone, please don't let others take advantage of you!"
"use?"
Su Songbo snorted coldly: "I think you want to use us, right? You and your son are really calculating! You use our money to buy the method of making sugar, and you want to exclude us!"
"No, really not..."
Su Huaimin's face turned pale and he explained weakly, "This is all Yun Zheng's conspiracy!"
"I think this is your conspiracy?" Su Songbo insisted, "You looked panicked when we were checking the warehouse just now. It's obvious that you have something to hide!"
Listening to Su Songbo's words, everyone agreed.
Looking at the people who wanted to chop him alive, Su Huaimin's face was miserable...
