Chapter 428: Going North
"How dare the people from the Seventh House do this?! This is outrageous!"
When Uncle Su said this, his face turned pale. He was now in charge of the Su family, so he could easily figure out most of the facts. The people in the seventh room had become so wealthy in the past few years, and half of the credit was due to the transfer of family business.
And these are not the most infuriating thing. What is infuriating is that they do it without leaving any trace.
Since they all do business in Jinling City, the Su family naturally has well-informed information. For so many years, not a single rumor was heard. It was really a very good cover-up.
"If you hadn't found out, I'm afraid these things would have been buried with the older generation."
"That's what my uncle said."
This time, Old Master Su didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"So the reason you revealed your identity today is so that we can join forces with Yan Zhiqing to force the Seventh House to spit out what he has swallowed over the years, right?"
“This is just one of them.”
The Su family's father and son looked at each other and both noticed something strange.
"And the second one?"
"Um."
"What?"
"We want to wipe out the Seventh House and One Sect from Jinling's territory."
When he heard this, Su Quanang became a little worried, and said to Gu Shaoyu with a serious expression.
"When you were ruthless to the third branch, many people talked about you behind your back. Now you are not letting the seventh branch off either. I'm afraid the relatives of the Gu family will make a fuss. If they team up with outsiders and fight you, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot."
Old Master Su was afraid that Gu Shaoyu was acting on impulse, so he gave him such advice.
After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu showed a mocking expression.
"The Seventh Branch has done more than just this one wrong thing. Shao Yu cannot speak directly to you now, so please forgive me, Granduncle and Uncle. But after their crimes are revealed, you will understand why the Seventh Branch does not deserve to exist."
What he said was so decisive that the Su family father and son could not say anything else.
Du Jingyi came out at the right time to smooth things over and said.
"General, I said these words only because I hope that my great-uncle and uncle will not have a single thought of kindness when they touch the Seventh House. The blood of shamelessness flows in their bones, so there is no need to be polite."
Since the couple had said so, the Su father and son couldn't say anything more.
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"A few days ago, I contacted the Tong family in the identity of Yan Zhiqing. They lost a lot of profits in river transportation. If they want to maintain this year's profits, they naturally have to start from other places. But the business of Jinling City is so small. If you take more, it means others will have less."
Uncle Su suddenly remembered something at this moment, so he said with a little surprise.
"You burned down the warehouse of the Seventh House outside the city?"
Many people knew about this fire, and the Seventh House suffered heavy losses as a result, but it is still difficult for outsiders to estimate the exact amount of losses.
Originally, everyone thought that the fire was a natural disaster caused by the excessively hot weather this summer. No one expected it to be man-made, which surprised both the Su father and son.
"What did you burn?"
Du Jingyi smiled, but she didn't look innocent at the moment.
"I sent someone to tell my parents that they have teamed up with Uncle Han and have placed many orders for brocade and silk in the Seventh House from all over the place. So most of the items in the warehouse are already finished and ready to be shipped out."
“When is the deadline?”
"At the end of this month."
"Then you're not early, are you? In two months, if you hurry up, you may be able to get another batch out."
"Uncle is right. The seventh room is now almost complete and the things are piled up in the warehouse at the dock. We will board the ship tomorrow night and head north to Sui'an City."
Du Jingyi said it lightly, but the Su family father and son understood what she meant.
"You want us to capsize the boat?"
With the Su family's ability, this is not a difficult task, but Du Jingyi shook his head and said.
"Uncle, you got it wrong. I hope the Su family can help them deliver this batch of stuff to Sui'an City as soon as possible. If they can get there before October 6, that would be the best."
"what are you up to?"
Uncle Su asked the question before Du Jingyi could answer. Instead, it was Old Master Su at the side who reacted.
"Have you already made some moves on those things? Are you trying to get all the nobles in Sui'an City to make trouble together?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The Tong family has a mulberry field, so they have a lot of surplus stock. After I sent people to burn down the warehouse of the seventh room, the seventh room naturally had to buy a large amount of silk to rush to make orders, so the Tong family made a lot of money from this."
"The Seventh House has an order, so they dare not break it easily. Naturally, they can only swallow this loss. I have calculated for them, and this deal is neither profitable nor loss-making, so the Seventh House gritted its teeth and sent the goods to Sui'an City to protect its reputation first."
"Of course you have to send it, but you may not be able to receive it."
"What's the meaning?"
"From the second to the eighth day of October, the Fourth Prince was ordered to monitor the arrival of ships, so many ships had to be unpacked and inspected after they arrived. If the boxes were opened and found to contain something else, the Seventh House would be to blame."
After hearing this, the Su family father and son understood.
Du Jingyi's plan is not simply to make the Seventh House lose profits, but to use the Fourth Prince to discover something else, so that he can be furious and make the Seventh House pay the price!
Gu Shaoyu has always known clearly about the strategies used by his wife.
Moreover, those things used to deceive the Seventh House were prepared by him. Although there were not many, it was estimated that it would be easy to make the Fourth Prince furious.
Gu Yanli, who personally escorted the goods north, probably would not be able to come back.
But it’s okay. The prison in Sui’an City is waiting for him. Once he is tortured, he will reveal almost everything he should and shouldn’t say.
And if he calculated the date, by the time the news reached Jinling City, it would probably be the day they would be in mourning. After a year of silence, he should make the Seventh House pay the price they deserved.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. My Su family still has the final say on matters on the sea route. It's not difficult to have a smooth sailing. From the fourth to the sixth day of the New Year, we must ensure that their ships enter the port safely!"
Hearing this, Du Jingyi felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill.
After briefly explaining the matter, the Su father and son did not stay any longer and went home to deal with it.
Gu Yanli, who had suffered a series of defeats, was now standing in front of the cargo warehouse at his own dock, giving orders with a serious expression.
"This time, if you make any mistakes again, I will kill you!"
"yes."
Everything was calm until the evening of the next day when the goods began to be loaded.
