Even though today's sky is very high, even if today's sun is shining brightly, Shen's residence seems to be shrouded in a haze.
Lifeless, as if lifeless.
Shen Qianshan's study in the Shen residence.
Holding a cup of bird's nest soup in his hand, he has no appetite at the moment——
That is a full 1.2 million catties of rice!
Even if the cost is twenty-five Wen a catty, that is thirty thousand taels of silver!
Damn Li Chen'an, he actually burned all the 1.2 million catties of rice... Shen Qianshan felt that his heart was still bleeding.
"I just want to know if Li Chenan is dead or not!"
"Back to Uncle Shen, he should have died, but, it's just that no one expected that Zhongli Mansion would intervene."
"My nephew will not hide it from you. None of the 300 guards sent by my Huo family to Taohuaxi Winery survived. In addition... I also lost a second-level guest official."
Sitting opposite him were Huo Shufan, who had just arrived, and Housekeeper Lin of the Huo Mansion, and sitting beside him were his daughter Shen Qiaodie and son Shen Jiye.
Shen Qiaodie poured a cup of tea for everyone, Huo Shufan took the cup of tea, and said
"Uncle Shen, that's what Grandpa said in his original words. It doesn't matter if you win or lose for a while, the winner is the one who laughs till the end!"
"Grandpa didn't expect that fool Li Chenan to be so scheming, but now that things have happened, my nephew thinks, we should look to the future."
Huo Shufan knocked on the table, and said very seriously
"The focus is on this year's autumn harvest, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Shen Qianshan put down the bird's nest cup, and he took a deep breath, "Uncle knows this, but uncle can't swallow this breath!"
He stretched out his hand to point out the door, and said angrily, "Didn't you say that Zhongli's mansion has nothing to do with him?"
"With such a tall Zhongli Mansion, why does Li Chenan let Zhongli Mansion intervene?"
"Since Zhongli Mansion has intervened, is it because I, Shen Qianshan, have no choice but to swallow this bad breath? Does your Huo family still have someone to deal with him in the future?"
He withdrew his hand, knocked on the table, looked at Huo Shufan and said solemnly, "If his peach blossom wine is allowed to go on the market... This is a big step for Li Chenan!"
"If he can't stop his big step, the Huo family may fall into an extremely passive situation!"
"Although my Shen family lost 1.2 million catties of grain, in the last few months, I was able to transport the grain stored in other counties to Guangling."
"The Shen family's business can still continue, but your Huo family..."
Huo Shufan raised his eyebrows, "Uncle is very worried, so early this morning, my second uncle went to the government office, and he will take the police to Li Chen'an's wine shop."
"If Zhongli Mansion really protects Li Chen'an, what's the use of Huo Tong's sentencing?"
Huo Shufan smiled slightly, "Zhongli's mansion is also a reasonable person, and the second uncle didn't go to his winery to kill people. After all, so many people died by the Taohuaxi River, so we must bring some people from the winery back to the yamen to investigate, right? "
"That's enough. As for the rest...the rest will be settled with Li Chen'an after autumn."
Shen Qiaodie on the side understood this sentence, she suddenly tugged at her father's sleeve, "Father, the Huo family will definitely not let Li Chen'an go, my daughter thinks Shufan's words are very reasonable, and she doesn't care about it now This time of gain and loss is not the time to fight Li Chenan to the death."
"Food in the south of the Yangtze River this autumn is the top priority at the moment!"
"Since the Huo family sent Steward Lin to accompany him, and since Steward Lin will take his father to Pingjiang City to get acquainted with the Cao Mansion...Daughter thinks, this will be of great benefit to the future of our Shen family. As for what happened last night Those losses can be easily made up in the future."
Shen Qianshan thought about it carefully, of course the current situation cannot disobey the good intentions of the Huo family. Although the Huo family came up with the bad idea of burning Cai Zhengyao's granary last night, they cannot be blamed on the Huo family.
If you can get acquainted with the Cao Mansion in Pingjiang City, and then establish relationships with officials from various places in the south of the Yangtze River through the Cao Mansion, then you can basically control the Jiangnan Granary in the future.
In comparison, the loss last night was nothing.
He let out a long breath, "Okay, Mr. Huo, butler Lin, please wait a moment, I'll clean up and we'll go!"
As soon as he stood up, he saw a family rushing in.
The servant rushed straight into the study, even forgetting the rules of saluting, he said nervously and panting, "Master, master, the villain just got some news!"
Shen Qianshan was startled, and frowned in displeasure, "What news?"
"Huo Tong judged Mr. Huo to take the police to Li Chen'an's wine shop!"
Shen Qianshan was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Did you catch Li Chenan?"
The servant shook his head, and Shen Qianshan was immediately disappointed, thinking that the boy was tough, but it would be good for Huo Tong to arrest the craftsmen in his winery, so that the brewing method of Peach Blossom Noodles would be left to Huo Tong In the hands of the family, this is also a great blow to Li Chenan.
But he never expected that this Ding said at this time, "Huo Tongpan seems to have suffered a loss in his winery. He heard from those arrests who went to Li Chen'an's winery that they said that Li Chen'an's identity is very serious." Scary!"
"...What identity can he have?"
This sentence was asked by Shen Qiaodie, because she knew Li Chen'an too well.
"Could it be related to Zhongli Mansion?"
"No, miss, they, they say that Li Chenan is the helmsman of the Guangling branch of the Ichthyosaur Society!"
Shen Qiaodie opened her mouth, unable to utter a single word.
Shen Qianshan froze, unable to take half a step.
Huo Shufan suddenly jumped up, "How is that possible?!"
"How could Li Chen'an have anything to do with the Ichthyosaur Society? It's even more impossible for him to become the helmsman!"
The servant was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed back and said, "Master Huo, villain, villain also listened to what those policemen said, so Young Master Huo can go and check it out."
Shen Qiaodie pondered for a moment, of course she knew what it would mean if Li Chen'an was really the helmsman of Guangling sub-helm of Yulonghui.
This is even scarier than Zhongli Mansion standing behind him!
"Shufan, this matter is extremely important, why don't we go to the government office to find a catcher and ask?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the study, "You don't need to ask, he is indeed the helmsman of the Guangling sub-rudder of the Ichthyosaur Society!"
The one who came in was Jiang Zhao, the jailer of Guangling City.
He stood in front of Shen Qianshan and the others, "Master Huo asked an official to tell Patriarch Shen that due to the huge change in Li Chenan's identity, for the sake of the Huo family, and for your Shen family... From now on, you must not have any enemies with Li Chenan !"
"Patriarch Shen must also know the evil of the Fish and Dragon Society. The Huo family doesn't want to provoke Li Chen'an's concern, and even the Huo family still needs Li Chen'an's friendship."
"That's why Li Chenan's peach blossom wine will be sold in the east and west cities at this time. Master Huo will go to the west market to congratulate. What Huo lord means is that he hopes that Patriarch Shen can go to the east market to congratulate."
"It's just that Patriarch Shen's going to Pingjiang City is quite urgent, so if Patriarch Shen is inconvenient, please ask Patriarch Shen to send a child to go. No matter what, you can't conflict with Li Chen'an, and you must fully express your Shen family's goodwill!"
"In addition... Mr. Huo hopes that your Shen family will take out ten thousand taels of silver to calm Li Chenan's malice!"
Shen Qianshan rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground with a stagger.
Shen Qiaodie's face turned pale immediately, she staggered back two steps, her mind went blank for a while.
