My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 152 A desperate move

"What!" Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were shocked and angry by Wang Zhi's sudden change of attitude.

"what? What?"

Wang Zhi's face was full of indifference.

"If it weren't for my protection over the years, how could you two horse-trading slaves have made such a big business?"

"You shamelessly set up the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce, which makes things worse for my brother every year. The profits that go into your pockets are getting bigger and bigger, but the tributes you pay every year are still so little, not even enough to send away beggars!"

"What! How dare you, a corrupt official, tear up the agreement like this? Aren't you afraid that I will file a complaint against you in the capital?!!!"

Zhang Shiping was so furious that he no longer cared about etiquette.

Even the clay man still has some anger!

Before, Lu Yi was just competing with him for food.

Now Wang Zhi is even more infuriating. He wants to overturn the table and stop him from having this job. Without this business, his family will be eaten up by others sooner or later.

"Complain to the Emperor? Haha, you, a profiteer, have you lost your mind and forgotten what my brother does in the palace? Not to mention that even if you spend a lot of money to buy a memorial, you can't submit it to the palace!
"Even if you bring it to the palace, it won't be on the emperor's desk. Even if the emperor sees it, you will never win the case with my brother beside you!"

Wang Zhi is arrogant and looks down on others.

In fact, what he said was basically true.

All of Wang Fu's power came from Emperor Liu Hong.

Most of Wang Fu's actions were also to help Liu Hong.

Only a small portion of it was used for personal gain and to benefit the Wang family by abusing the power of others.

Therefore, Liu Hong relied heavily on Wang Fu, who was equivalent to his right-hand man.

If you file a complaint against Wang Fu in front of Emperor Liu Hong now, wouldn't that be equivalent to asking Liu Hong to cut off his own hands?
Therefore, Wang Zhi is naturally full of confidence.

It seems that Su Shuang has a sense of the overall situation and has not been blinded by anger.

Although his face was livid, he still stood between the two of them at the first opportunity and tried his best to save the situation.

"If the county magistrate feels that the annual tribute is not enough, our Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce is willing to increase the price. As long as County Magistrate Wang names a price, we only ask to return to the previous cooperation model. It is also okay for the county magistrate to monopolize the Mayi grassland!"

"Well, you are quite a good person. You can hold your breath and understand the relationship between the primary and the secondary..." Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi looked at Su Shuang with appreciation.

"But... you are only now taking the initiative to discuss this with me, the county governor. Don't you think it's too late?"

"Someone, come here, kick these two profiteers out for this prefect!" Wang Zheque ignored the two people who were filled with shame and anger, and simply waved his hand to drive them out.

He had finally solved a big problem today and was in a really good mood and relaxed. Instead of facing these two bastards who were full of resentment and didn't know how to repay their kindness, he might as well seize the time to pamper his new concubines.

"Damn it! You, a dog official, will definitely die a miserable death!"

After being kicked out of the palace by Wang Zhi's evil servant, Zhang Shiping was so angry that he couldn't help but yelling and cursing in front of the palace gate.

"You are such a scoundrel, you dare to insult my master in front of the county governor's house. Do you think your life is too long?"

"Brothers, fight for me!"

Seeing that the fallen merchant dared to openly insult Wang Zhi, the doormen in brocade robes excitedly picked up sticks and beat Zhang Shiping all over his head. Zhang Shiping howled in pain and dared not insult Wang Zhi again.

After so many years, another blind guy finally came to their doorstep for them to take action. Naturally, these narrow-minded doormen would not show any mercy to Zhang Shiping, but would seize the opportunity to beat him up and satisfy their urge to beat people.

"Please don't blame me, my brother is just talking nonsense because of a sudden hysteria. Please calm down and use this money to have tea."

Su Shuang quickly protected Zhang Shiping and took out some gold cakes from his arms, and then sent away several guards who were ready to fight.

"Well, you are quite sensible. Since your brother has suddenly developed hysteria, you should take him home and keep him under good care. Don't let him out to make noises, or he will be beaten to death in the street."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Su Shuang didn't dare to refute at all. He could only drag Zhang Shiping, who was almost knocked unconscious, to the base.

After a lot of tossing and turning, Zhang Shiping finally woke up slowly.

"Brother Su! The Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce that we two worked so hard to establish is over. I didn't expect that coming to Wang Zhi this time would be like shooting myself in the foot."

As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhang Shiping burst into tears and hugged Su Shuang and cried bitterly.

"Think about it, we both had nothing 20 years ago. These difficulties are nothing. As long as we don't give up, there will always be a way out. There is always a way out!"

Su Shuang hurriedly comforted Zhang Shiping, fearing that this radical old brother would be unable to get over the incident.

"For now, we can still rely on the Xianbei people. Wang Zhi thinks too simply. Without a few years of hard work, I'm afraid he can't even collect a complete map of the outside world. How can he establish a stable trade with the Hu people?"

"As long as we block the majority of the Xianbei people's horse supply, even if Wang Zhi invests in the Lu family caravan, it can only maintain its current scale at most, and it will be difficult to further control the smuggling business in the entire Bingzhou. As long as we can get through this difficult time, this business will still be ours in the end!"

Su Shuang persuaded again and again.

I just don't know whether he was trying to persuade Zhang Shiping, who was already in despair, or himself, who was also somewhat confused.

how many years.

Since the two of them jointly founded the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce, they have not encountered such a difficult situation for many years.

"No!"

Zhang Shiping suddenly had an idea and looked at Su Shuang with surprise.

"There is a faster and simpler way now!"

"Oh? What's the method?" Su Shuang asked hurriedly.

"Wang Zhi is too eager for quick success and instant benefits. He also takes the business trip too lightly. Now he places all his hopes on the Lu family caravan and Lu Yi. As long as we deal with Lu Yi, the Lu family caravan, which was just established less than a year ago, will immediately fall apart, and Wang Zhi's wishful thinking will naturally be in vain."

Zhang Shiping's face was full of hatred and he kept sneering.

"Then I'll see how Wang Zhi, who has no one, no channels, and no connections, can compete with us for the horse smuggling business in Bingzhou!"

"Brother Zhang, this is a brilliant plan, but Lu Yi has built a fort in Jiuyuan, which is difficult to attack. I'm afraid it won't succeed."

Su Shuang said with a worried brow.

"If Lu Yi hides in Jiuyuan, it will be difficult to attack him. But brother, you may have forgotten that Lu Yi is right next to us."

"There are only a few dozen people around him now, and he doesn't know about our presence. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
