Jia Min's Counterattack

Master Fang Er looked at his wife and daughter who were crying out of human form. After all, he couldn't harden his heart. After all, he was his own daughter. How could he just watch her jump into the fire pit?

"Father! This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. I think that Xiao Wang will not want our Xiaoqi to marry him!"

Old Master Fang's eyes flashed, and he sighed and said, "Let Xiaoqi go to Zhuangzi to live for a while, and then we can talk about it after avoiding the limelight!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Fang turned around and left.

The Fang family started business with Mrs. Fang, who was originally a clerk in the dental shop.By chance, I got acquainted with a steward next to Zhen Yingjia, and since then I have been a traveling businessman.After decades of development relying on the Zhen family, the Fang family has become the leading tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River.When Zhen Yingjia was appointed as the salt transport envoy, Mrs. Fang begged to come to the door, wanting to follow her to gain some fame.Zhen Yingjia also needed the help of the Fang family to make money for him in the salt administration, so he gave the Fang family [-]% of the salt quotation, making the Fang family the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou overnight.The Fang family is different from the Liu family. The Liu family has been engaged in salt merchants for generations and has always been relatively stable. The salt quotations they get from the imperial court every year are certain, not much but not too little. For such a salt merchant, Zhen Yingjia will not go Those who are easily offended will only try to win over.And the Fang family got involved in the salt transportation entirely by relying on Zhen Yingjia. It can be said that Zhen Yingjia single-handedly pulled out a very useful pawn.

Although Mrs. Fang is a down-to-earth person, he is very good at communication and slick, so the Fang family's reputation has been pretty good over the years, and Mrs. Fang's popularity is also very good.

But in Zhen Yingjia's eyes, the Fang family can only be a tool for him to make money, but the really important things will not let the Fang family get involved.Zhen Yingjia is such a shrewd person, he has already seen through the sheepskin of Mrs. Fang, and now Zhen Yingjia can still help the Fang family in business, but once Zhen Yingjia collapses, the Fang family will definitely suffer.This is why when Lin Ruhai forced any of his former adults to hand over the account books, Zhen Yingjia chose to ask the Xue family and the Liu family to help him.

Regarding the marriage between Miss Fang Qi and the Xue family, Mrs. Fang was indeed not optimistic at the time, because the reputation of the Xue family was very bad at that time, and she offended the Lin family who was in full swing. The master will be killed by the Lin family sooner or later.Sure enough, after that, the Xue family's business plummeted, and even the most profitable shipping business suffered a devastating blow. Although a lean camel was bigger than a horse, Mrs. Fang still didn't want to have anything to do with the Xue family.

But the Second Mrs. Fang was determined to marry her daughter into the Xue family, and later Zhen Yingjia came forward to match the two families, so Mrs. Fang opened his mouth and agreed to the marriage.But the moment he agreed to marry his granddaughter to Master Xue Er, Old Master Fang already regarded this granddaughter as a dead person.For the Fang family, it's just a loss of a girl. As long as it doesn't affect the overall interests of the Fang family, Mrs. Fang won't care about it.

The current situation has indeed brought a lot of trouble to the Fang family. If it is not handled properly, the reputation of the Fang family will be ruined.At this time, if she married her granddaughter to the Xue family as promised, she would be suspected of coveting the Xue family's property, but if she didn't marry, she would be accused of breaking her promise. In such a dilemma, Mrs. Fang felt a little powerless for the first time.

"Father!" Mr. Fang heard that his father had gone to his second brother's place. As soon as he came back, he came to find Mr. Fang.

"Hmm! Where did you go to the banquet today, and you're only coming back at this time?" Old Master Fang asked casually.

"Today I went to the mansion of Mr. Gu, Zhizhou of Yangzhou! But today, my son is fortunate to meet Mr. Hua Chonghua, Mr. Lin's teacher!"

"Oh? Is that so? Are you talking to Mr. Hua?" Mr. Fang suddenly became interested, and asked Mr. Fang seriously.

"Hehe! Yes! Mr. Hua is a very personable and talkative person. He used to do business in Suzhou. He used to be the big shopkeeper of the No. [-] silk and satin shop in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, he was framed by his boss, and he was the only one who died in the whole family. At that time, he was rescued by Master Lin, and since then, he has followed Master Lin and advised him."

"Well! It seems that Mr. Lin has a good impression of our Fang family!" Old Master Fang laughed.

Master Fang also smiled and nodded: "My son thinks so too! Mr. Hua can say this to his son, it is definitely not just a small talk! It should be testing our attitude, presumably Mr. Lin has recruited our family heart!"

"Our Fang family is what it is today thanks to Mr. Zhen, how can we do something that betrays the master at will!"

"Father said yes! But today I also heard a news that most of the gold and silver that suddenly appeared in Mr. He's other courtyard were from the Liu family!"

Mrs. Fang's eyes sharpened immediately, and he stared at Mrs. Fang to confirm: "Is this true? But you learned it from Mr. Hua?"

"It's not what Mr. Hua said. My son also overheard some guests talking about it. One of the guests was a small official in the Yanzheng Yamen. He said that the gold and silver brought back to the Yanzheng Yamen from Mr. He's other courtyard, Most of them have the imprint of the Liu family, and my son thinks this should be true. Father, think about it, looking at the entire Yangzhou city, who else can prepare such a large amount of cash in one night besides the Liu family?"

Mrs. Fang frowned and pondered for a long time, then sneered sharply and said, "I thought our Fang family was the most trusted and capable helper of the Zhen family, but I didn't expect..."

"It's no wonder! After all, they are now in a serious relationship by marriage, so they are naturally closer than us!" Elder Fang also smiled sinisterly.

"Hmph! The current salt administration is in the hands of Mr. Lin, and this year's salt is about to be distributed. I want to see how Mr. Zhen will deal with it?"

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhen is in a state of desperation right now!" Mr. Fang said with a mocking smile.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Father didn't know that Mr. Lin's eldest son was poisoned when the Zhen family was attending a banquet, and it was found out that a concubine of Mr. Zhen ordered his subordinates to do it. But it was later found out that the concubine was Xue. The second master gave it to me, and my concubine also admitted that the poison was given by the second master Xue! The relatives of the Lin family and the Zhen family have done their best! Master Zhen made a fool of himself in public, which made the Zhen family’s bad reputation even worse. It's worse!"

"Could it be that Xue Erlang is the scapegoat for the Zhen family?" Old Master Fang asked in disbelief.
