Meet The Leader

PS: Thanks to book friend Xiaohang Feiyu for the reward of 10,000 starting coins

The atmosphere in the Chu family meeting room was depressed for a while, and Chu Zongguang frowned. He hated this kind of thing the most. It was absolutely intolerable to him.

Chu Zongguang looked at Chu Sheng's mother and son and said, "Is this really what you did?"

The second lady stood up and said with a look of grievance: "Of course not, others don't believe me, don't you believe me, sir? How could I do things that are detrimental to the interests of the Chu family? It's true that I sold it, but I sold it to my father."

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "Then why did the ore go to the Li family in the end?"

The second lady said: "My father's Kaishan martial arts hall needs a batch of weapons. In the entire Tongzhou mansion, only the Li family's weapons are the best, but the Li family's weapons with rank three or above are all built directly in the Qingyuan Town of the Yan Kingdom. , that's a treasure, plus my relationship, even if the Li family still has some treasured weapons, they won't sell them to my father.

So my father could only find a way to sell this batch of ore to the Li family, and only then did the Li family agree to help him forge weapons.

However, as a member of the Chu family, even if Ding Kaishan is my father, I will not harm the interests of the Chu family. "

After saying that, the second lady took out the silver note and handed the 55,000 taels of silver to Chu Zongguang, and said with an aggrieved look: "52,000 catties of ore, according to the highest market price, it is only 52,000 taels. , but there are more than three thousand taels here, which is more than the highest price.

Although my Chu family's ore was sold to the Yan Kingdom to make more money, this batch of ore was enough for the caravan to travel once. I sold it directly to my father, and the caravan saved time. Isn't that good?

Besides, sir, don't forget, when the Chu family first came to Tongzhou Mansion, my father helped the Chu family a lot. There is no credit for this, so why is it hard work? "

Seeing that the second lady finished the trick there, Chu Xiu frowned.

It seems that these two ladies are not unprepared, she has already thought of excuses.

It's just that no matter how much she makes excuses, she can't change the fact that the ore fell into the hands of the Li family. Wouldn't Chu Zongguang choose to turn a blind eye?

But it turned out that the elders of the Chu family didn't say anything after seeing the banknotes. Anyway, the Chu family didn't lose any money this time.

On the other hand, Chu Zongguang frowned, and it was really difficult for the second lady to carry Ding Kaishan out.

After all, the Chu family was able to successfully establish a foothold in Tongzhou Mansion, and Ding Kaishan really made a lot of efforts.

Although the Chu family later compensated Ding Kaishan a lot, Chu Zongguang couldn't bear to scold his father-in-law.

So he just snorted coldly: "Okay, let's forget about this matter, Chu Xiu, you don't have to stare at this matter."

After Chu Zongguang finished speaking to Chu Xiu, he turned his eyes to the second lady, and said lightly, "And you too, don't think I don't know what you're up to.

After all, the Li family and our Chu family are in different ways. This time, let's forget about it. Next time, if you have anything to do with the Li family, you must not forgive me! "

After he finished speaking, Chu Zongguang let everyone go away, and he also left directly.

When Chu Sheng's mother and son Shi Shiran left, Chu Sheng showed a smug smile at Chu Xiu before leaving, but Chu Xiu remained expressionless.

Chu Zongguang's decision today made Chu Xiu feel the urge to curse his mother.

It is possible to fool the enemy with such things, this Chu family is just like not Chu Zongguang.

Leaving the Chu family mansion, Chu Xiu went back all the way. Ma Kuo saw Chu Xiu coming back and asked with a smile, "Young Master Chu, did your father punish the mother and son severely?"

Chu Xiu shook his head, causing Ma Kuo to be stunned for a moment, not daring to believe: "Your father doesn't even care about this kind of thing, what did he think?"

Even a rough man like Ma Kuo knew that what Chu Sheng's mother and son did was taboo.

Infighting is okay, not to mention a small family like the Chu family. The top big clans in the arena are more ruthless in infighting. Almost every generation of heirs, except for some of them who can crush others, or they will see blood from generation to generation.

But the problem is that there is a prerequisite for infighting, that is, it cannot harm one's own interests.

Although the second wife and her son used sophistry and bank notes to prove that they did not harm the interests of the Chu family, it was the interests of Chu Xiu that were harmed.

Using outsiders to trick his own people, isn't Chu Xiu a member of the Chu family?

Chu Xiu said with a gloomy face: "I don't know what my father is thinking right now, but this matter is definitely not over, let someone prepare, I want to touch that Li Zhao!"

Ma Kuo wondered, "Let Boss Han take action?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, we will do it ourselves! This time I not only want to move Li Zhao, but also force the Chu family. Otherwise, I will definitely not be the heir to the Chu family's patriarch if I follow the normal procedure. ."

Now Chu Xiu can also see that Chu Zongguang doesn't like him. Even though his favorite son, Chu Shang has been abandoned, he, Chu Zongguang, doesn't like him either.

Those people in the Chu family are even more short-sighted, all staring at their own interests.

Chu Xiu didn't have the patience to spend it with them. If he wanted to get this position as soon as possible, either he had to kill the eldest Chu Kai and the third Chu Sheng, or he could only get credit that no one could surpass. Location.

Right now, the Li family is just such an opportunity, moving Li Zhao is just an introduction, and destroying the Li family is Chu Xiu's real plan!

In the past, the Li family and the Chu family had so much filth. If Chu Xiu was able to completely destroy the Li family, who could compare this credit?

Although he is not as strong as the Li family personally, Chu Xiu has the confidence to leverage the power of the entire Chu family through this incident.

Ma Kuo shrugged aside. Anyway, they were holding Chu Xiu's money and doing things for Chu Xiu. Naturally, Chu Xiu said what he said.

Besides, they are also working well with Chu Xiu now. If Chu Xiu can sit on the position of the heir of the Chu family, with enough power in his hands, it will actually be beneficial to them.

"By the way, Young Master Chu, do you know which road the Li family caravan is going to take? If you can't figure it out, I'll tell Boss Han to let them pay attention to you."

Chu Xiu shook his head, a strange look appeared in his eyes and said, "No need, I have a solution for this."

With that said, Chu Xiu called to Gao Bei and asked, "Help me pay attention to the current situation of Li Jing in the Li family, and tell me his news."

If Li Zhao didn't mention this before, Chu Xiu almost forgot what happened in Yuanbao Town.

But now that Li Zhao suddenly mentioned it, Chu Xiu suddenly had a solution.

Li Jing can only be regarded as a small person in the Li family. Although he is appreciated by Li Zhao, he is only a servant after all, not even in charge, and his situation and whereabouts are not secret.

At this time, Li Jing was drinking in a tavern.

If someone from the Li family, like Li Jing, drinks in the tavern owned by the Li family, it is naturally a bit of a discount, but now he has deliberately avoided these places and chose a tavern run by an ordinary businessman. I don't want other Li family's servants to see his jokes and ridicule him.

Li Jing is an ambitious person, since childhood.

Although he is a servant of the Li family, he is not willing to be the servant all his life.

There are many people with such ambition, but most of them are daydreams, but Li Jing is different. He is the kind of person who really dares to do it, so he works very hard and works very hard in the Li family.

Although he doesn't want to be a servant, if he can't even be a servant, how can he become a servant?

With this kind of thinking, Li Jing took a very short time to stand out from the crowd of servants and won the appreciation of Li Sangongzi, but the experience in Yuanbao Town was like a nightmare. , which directly destroyed everything about him.

Li Tong, the steward of the Li family, was humiliated by Chu Xiu because of his involvement, so he angered him after returning to the Li family.

And Li Sangongzi also reprimanded him because he was provoking trouble outside and not acting prudently enough. Although it was just a reprimand, it actually meant that he was hated by the third son, so Li Tong has been more in the Li family during this period of time. It was mercilessly embarrassing him, and no one in the entire Li family was willing to stand up for him.

Now Li Jing doesn't know who he should hate.

Do you hate Chu Xiu's humiliation at the beginning, or do you hate Li Tong for bullying the soft and afraid of being tough, and if you don't dare to trouble Chu Xiu, you can only **** him off, or do you hate Li Zhao for abandoning him mercilessly?

Just when Li Jing was a little drunk, a person suddenly walked out of his side and said, "Li Jing, my son, please come over. Be quiet and don't yell."

As he said that, the man put his hand directly on Li Jing's shoulder, and the power immediately made Li Jing understand that he couldn't resist.

This immediately made Li Jing sober up most of the time, and he whispered: "Who is your son? I am a small character who can't be on the stage, what is he doing with me?"

"You'll know when you go!"

The man threw a piece of silver directly and took Li Jing away from the tavern, but he didn't go far, and took him directly into the second floor of an inn.

Pushing open the door, there was only a young man in the room, wearing a golden robe, with a goose ling knife, a dish of salted peanuts and a pot of yellow wine on the table.

The moment he saw this person, Li Jing's eyes were filled with horror.

"Chu Xiu! It's actually you!"
