Everyone nodded quickly: "Leader Wu, please explain carefully."

"There are two most suitable paths right now. One is to lose money, and to give the silver taels we need to make up the shortfall to Mr. Li. In this way, he will naturally take lightly the matter of us stealing the salt and forget the past. The second There is a way to vote for the master, we rely on Mr. Li, which is equivalent to indirectly boarding the boat of the First Prince, and we don’t need to spend money right now, but in the future, it will depend on what the higher authorities say, what do you all think?"

"Boss Wu also said just now that the situation is unclear now..."

"Yeah, the situation is not yet clear. I'm afraid it's not good for our future development to invest in the owner easily. It seems that the first way is more suitable. If you lose some money now, you can make it back in a short time in the future. Why bother to put a rope on yourself in advance? ?”

"Yes, we choose the first one."

After the audience expressed their opinions, Wu Minzhi had an idea in his mind, and he was more inclined to the first way: "Although we have made a choice now, we can't easily hand over the money to Qiming. In any case, we must ensure that The other party won't turn their backs and deny people after taking the money."

"Yes, Chief Wu is still considerate."

"Since you all said that you want to listen to me, then calm down and don't make any mistakes in private. Let's wait for three days and listen to the wind in three days before making plans."

"it is good."

According to Wu Minzhi's thinking, even if he wanted to give the money, it would take a while, but he didn't expect that there would be rumors of a ship salvaging things on the Xijiang River the next day. Fortunately, he had some friends in the water transportation, and secretly passed the news , otherwise things would be really bad.

After receiving the news, Wu Minzhi hurried to Chunfengyuan, only to see Qi Ming come in busy.

"Where did Mr. Qi go, why does he look tired?"

"Leader Wu laughed. I went to suppress some things coming from below." Qi Ming said with a smile.

Wu Minzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously thought of the people who salvaged things on the Xijiang River. Could it be that those people also had friendship with Qi Ming? Or were those people sent out by Li Yuanyi?

"Mr. Qi, I have something to talk to you about."

"Chairman Wu, please, let me change my clothes and come to talk again?"

"Naturally, Mr. Qi please."

Wu Minzhi sat in the room where he came last time, his mind was full of thoughts. After a moment of distraction, Qi Ming had already changed his clothes and came before him.

"Boss Wu came to me this time, but he has thought of a countermeasure to fill up the silver?"

Seeing Qi Ming being so outspoken, Wu Minzhi became more and more uncertain: "To tell the truth, Mr. Qi, I heard some rumors recently that there are merchant ships on the Xijiang River salvaging things..."

"Chief Wu, don't be nervous. The river is ruthless. Whether the things that entered the water are still in place is another matter. If you go down, you will definitely be able to catch things? Besides, are the things you fished up the same as those that sank before?" Qi Mingmu smiled. , gave Wu Min a meaningful look.

Wu Minzhi then laughed: "Mr. Qi, we have thought about it, but there is really no way to control it to fill the shortfall on the bright side. We can only ask Mr. Qi to work hard and think of a way in secret."

Qi Ming frowned, looking extremely embarrassed: "This... Chief Wu is embarrassing me."

Wu Minzhi took out a purse from his bosom. The purse was very big and bulging inside, and it was extremely thick: "I also know that it is extremely difficult to manipulate. This is a little money for tea. Please accept it with a smile, Mr. Qi. I will wait until it is done." Thanks a lot."

Qi Ming sighed: "Boss Wu, my master admires your personality very much, and pays much attention to you in the capital. With your intelligence, you should know that there is more than one way."

Hearing the word master and son mentioned in his mouth, Wu Minzhi's heart skipped a beat. As expected, he had guessed right. This man with the same name is very likely to be the eldest prince's aide, so he became more cautious when dealing with it. He said with a distressed face: "If I am the only one who is willing to make a fool of myself for your master, but I represent a lot of salt merchants, so I hope you can explain a little bit more to me."

"This is also understandable, but the mountains are high and the rivers are long, so just take it easy in the future." After Qi Ming finished speaking, he put away the purse on the table, "I will try my best to help out, and the leader Wu, who is making up for the shortfall, Still have to prepare in advance.”

"It's natural, please rest assured Mr. Qi."

"Yeah." Qi Ming took a sip from the cup of tea.

Seeing the other party serving tea to see off the guests, Wu Minzhi naturally didn't stay any longer: "Mr. has worked hard, rest early, and I will take my leave first."

"Okay, Chief Wu, go slowly."

"No."

When Wu Minzhi left, Qi Ming left Chunfengyuan with his purse and returned to Yibaoxuan all the way.

Liu Liang was waiting in the backyard, and when he saw him coming back, his eyes moved slightly, causing a wave of waves: "Things are going well?"

Qi Ming took out his purse: "My lord, everything is going well."

Liu Liang opened the purse and took out the bank notes inside. Each bank note had a denomination of one thousand taels, and there were a total of one hundred notes.

Qi Ming sighed in admiration: "This is just for my hard work, it's a full 100,000 taels. Those salt merchants are really rich."

"Be careful in everything. The closer you go to the end, the more careful you are. Remember not to reveal the identity of the young lady, so as not to bring trouble for her."

"Yes, the slave understands."

Soon, Wu Minzhi sent the raised silver to Qi Ming: "Mr. Qi, we have already sent the silver, can Master Li give some advice?"

"Boss Wu, Mr. Li has already made arrangements. This is your personal letter. You can check it directly. From now on, this will also be a proof in your hands."

Wu Minzhi's eyes brightened. He took the letter and carefully checked the notes and seals. He finally settled down in his heart. Having this letter is equivalent to having a certificate, and he will not be afraid of Li Yuan's regret in the future.

Sending Wu Minzhi away happily, Qi Ming couldn't help laughing: "I hope that after knowing the truth, this leader Wu can still laugh like he is now."

After receiving the silver, Qi Ming didn't dare to waste any time and directly took the bank note to Liu Liang: "My lord, the bank note has been received, I don't know what we should do next?" If those salt merchants know He didn't do anything at the cash register, and he was afraid that he would be torn apart directly.

"Miss has already made a comprehensive arrangement, you can run Yibaoxuan here with peace of mind, don't worry about the salt merchants, they won't be able to dance soon."

Qi Ming's eyes brightened, and he was very excited: "Could it be that Miss wants to clean up all these salt merchants?" This is enough to cause great turmoil. If one is not well controlled, it may turn the entire Jiangnan upside down. But there is a good show to watch!

Liu Liang looked indifferent: "Miss' affairs are not something we can guess, just do your own thing with peace of mind."

"Yes, the servant knows."
