MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 400 three on one
Chapter 400 Three versus one
Hearing this, Du Jingyi frowned.
"But general, if my uncle really regards you as his strong enemy, how could he think you are a fool? I'm afraid he will be more cautious and wary."
"So I deliberately pretended to be tolerant at the banquet today, and then asked Luo Yuan to destroy the business of the two third uncles, just to make them think that I didn't dare, but that I would give it to them at the banquet. Just a little bit of face.”
At this point, Du Jingyi finally understood what her husband was going to do.
Being able to raise three such powerful children, the seventh old man is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance. Naturally, he will not simply believe that Gu Shaoyu is so easy to fool.
So the respect shown on the table was just a show, and the key point of getting them to relax their vigilance was to shut down Qifang's business in private. At this point, the people in Qifang would also know that Gu Shaoyu was not someone to be trifled with.
Uncle Santang has been around for so many years, and he can be said to be a man who can walk sideways in Jinling City. He was so humiliated by a junior, so he naturally wanted to find a place to come back.
When people are angry, it is easiest to discover their weaknesses. Even if it is not fatal with one blow, it will still hurt. Gu Shaoyu is waiting for this kind of opportunity, and then makes everyone in the seventh room spend their thoughts on it. He entangled himself so that Liu Xun could have more time and opportunity to explore the answers he wanted.
Du Jingyi said to her husband after being silent for a while.
"The New Year is approaching, and most businessmen have already packed their business bags to wait for the coming year. If the general wants to hurt Uncle Santang, then he should start from the place he cares about most."
"Where?"
“The name of the imperial merchant.”
“All ears.”
Gu Shaoyu didn’t know much about shopping malls, so when Du Jingyi spoke, he listened carefully and didn’t want to interrupt at all.
"The Gu family can get this name because of its shipping business. I didn't know the Su family well before, so I don't know much about the Su family's business. After getting to know each other these days, I know that shipping and The real leader in Heyun is the Su family, and Uncle Thirdang only took this title because the Su family was unwilling to compete for it."
"That's the case, then I will get involved as Yan Zhiqing and make the Su family's business more popular. With this kind of good opportunity, Uncle Han will definitely not be able to resist taking a bite of meat. As for the three of them, At my uncle’s place, just smash it.”
She said this in an understatement.
The whole person was calm, as if she was the king among the merchants in Jinling City, and she would do whatever she said. Gu Shaoyu laughed as he looked at it, and then said proudly.
“If Uncle Santang knew your true identity, he would be too embarrassed to mock me for having no money at the table.”
Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled naturally.
“Other concubines dare not say that, but the money is quite easy to earn.”
"Since Madam is rushing forward, I will not show weakness as husband. When I came here, Prime Minister Guo wanted me to investigate these tax evasion matters, so let's use their name to do it!"
"Husband, you mean to use the name of East Palace? Isn't that too much?"
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu smiled and then said.
"Don't worry, I have already sent someone to send news about this to the prince and Prime Minister Guo. They all agree that I should take action on Uncle Sandang. After all, if I take him down, I will take down half of the treasury of Jinling City." , for Guochao, it’s also a lot of gains, isn’t it?”
At this point, Du Jingyi finally understood that his husband was really a scheming man. He had united early and set up a dragnet.
With his relatives as sacrifices, no one would dare to question the tax affairs of Jinling City or Liangjiang in the future. Kill three birds with one stone.
Killed the third uncle and established his authority in front of everyone, and then showed his loyalty again in front of the prince. He was really shrewd.
So, Du Jingyi smiled, as deep as a little fox.
Then he said a little jokingly.
“The husband has all the plans, but I am the one who knows all the tricks.”
“What did you say, madam? You are my husband’s military advisor. There are many things in the shopping mall that I have to ask you for advice!”
The two of them are good at acting, and their discussions are in full swing at the moment. However, the third uncle of the Gu family, who is still suffering from a severe headache, does not know how much loss he will suffer in the next few months.
After all, three families are attacking one family. Even though he is a tiger, he may not be able to withstand hidden arrows from all directions.
Half a month later, it was already New Year’s Eve.
Every family has a lively reunion day, and there are firecrackers set off at the door, crackling and exploding. Because there is a new bereavement in the Gu family, they just spend a peaceful year quietly, without anything special.
On the contrary, this night, the Gu family's seventh room did not go well.
The yard of Qifang is not smaller than that of the Gu family, but because the eldest son Gu Yanguang and the second son Gu Yanxing both have official positions, they went out to live alone. Only the third son Gu Yanli stood with the seventh old man.
Therefore, we are celebrating the New Year in the old house today, and the sons of the other two families naturally brought their wives and children with them.
Speaking of it, this seven-bedroom house is also a prosperous family, and there are seven or eight children in this generation, so it is especially lively when it comes to the reunion dinner.
Even though the cousin-in-law next door died, it was a bit of a blessing for them, but not much, so it was no matter how lively it was behind closed doors.
It's just that Gu Yanli, who used to be the most generous and straightforward person in the past, now looks as green as if he's eaten grass, which is very ugly.
The eldest son Gu Yanguang and the second son Gu Yanxing, who also came back for the reunion, didn't know that someone had poked a hole in the Gu family's treasury, and thought their younger brother had lost money in gambling during the New Year, so he was unhappy here.
“Why are you so embarrassed? Your second brother comes back once in a while and is happy.”
It was Gu Yanguang who said this, but unfortunately his words didn't sound so good to Third Uncle's ears now.
“Brother, it’s easy to say. It’s not you who lost. Originally, I could earn at least four million taels this year, but now most of it has been cut off. Do you think I only lost two taels of meat?”
“How much? Most of it was cut off? What does it mean?”
Obviously this was the first time Gu Yanguang heard about it, so he was naturally shocked. But just when Uncle Third was about to say a few more words, he saw the seventh old man arriving.
He is getting older every year, but he still looks the same as before, as if he has not changed much since he passed the age of knowing his destiny. On the contrary, his three sons are becoming more mature and stable.
