Wang Rui was forced by everyone's eyes and became cowardly and said, "I just said it, but I didn't say I wanted to do it."

"It's better not to have such an idea!" Wu Qing said solemnly: "Who is not powerful in the five surnames? If Li Mu could kill them, they would have killed them long ago. They could not kill them before, but now they can't kill them. Have you forgotten who his mother is?"

"This..." Wang Rui's face changed. He forgot that Li Mu had another mother who was not easy to mess with. Like the five surnames and seven sects, the business of prominent families in Jiangnan also depends on Jisitang to revitalize them, especially the goods they transported from sea, without Jisitang's sales channels, so they are waiting to be rotten in the port.

Thinking of the terrible aspects of Mrs. Lu, Wang Rui couldn't help but feel a little trembling. Wang Rui, the eldest son of the Wang family of Langya, is also 37 or 38 years old this year. He is a peer with Mrs. Lu. He has also met Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng when he was hanging out in Luoyang. He has experienced the current Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, who was good at dancing at that time.

If Mrs. Lu had heard it with her own ears, Wang Rui couldn't help but see the scene of him being tied up with a stone and thrown into Tongji Canal.

"What do you think of?" Wang Rui said depressedly, not daring to act rashly.

"In my opinion," Gu Sizhi said, "I'd better find a way to find out what Li Mu's purpose is when he came to Yangzhou this time? If he wanted to dig our foundation, he would be able to say that he would be able to break the net to death, but if he didn't want much, he could still talk, so we should bear it..."

Wang Rui frowned slightly, took over the conversation, and said, "I understand what Uncle Shi means. Today I call everyone not to discuss how to deal with Li Mu, but to discuss how many shares each of them will be distributed! From the beginning, you plan to lose money and avoid disasters, right?"

Gu Sizhi did not deny it and said, "Are there any better ways now? You have also seen the attitude of the Xiao family in Lanling. They have completely turned to Li Mu! If we can be a solid piece of iron, maybe we can think of a way. Let me tell you ugly things in front of you. Everyone here is still talking about what you think in your heart!"

Everyone waved their hands quickly: "What's this? Are we going to be wrong?"

Gu Sizhi sneered and said, "Don't you hear about the cement factory? In the face of interests, the Wang family in Taiyuan can betray other clans and finally get the greatest benefit. Today, in the face of interests, who knows which one will not betray? No one should say so nicely. Today, I summon you all to tell you that everyone will prosper and lose both the same. Whether it is good or bad, everyone will bear it together! No one should think about spending their lives. If you have that thought, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Gu Sizhi's words were loud and his meaning was very clear. He was warning everyone not to learn from the Wang family in Taiyuan and to gain power by betraying others. The situation he wanted was that Jiangnan would still maintain its original power unchanged, which would be beneficial. Everyone should get the disadvantages together.

It seems like a compromise, but it has not been supported by everyone. The reason is nothing but selfish. Who is not jealous of the benefits of the Taiyuan Wang family? Everyone has figured out Li Mu's temper. He will not treat his own people badly. Who can get closer? Even if there are disadvantages in the end, the disadvantages will not fall on him. The situation that the Gu family wants is because they are afraid that others will take the lead. The Gu family is now the most prominent Jiangnan family, except for the Xiao family in Lanling, ranks firmly in the top three. He wants to keep his position, but don't forget that there are more than a dozen companies coveting this position.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Sizhi guessed what everyone was thinking. He sighed and thought to himself, just like this, he still wanted to resist Li Mu? It's just a delusion!

Seeing that he could not persuade him, Gu Sizhi accepted his fate and said, "Then let's rely on his abilities. I hope that next year, we will be able to gather together..." As he said that, he raised a glass of wine and said, "I wish you all."

Everyone then picked up the wine glass, no one explained too much, and raised their heads and drank a glass of wine.

No one ate the food, and after drinking, they all returned.

...

Li Mu's ship arrived in Yangzhou the next evening. He could slow down the speed. It was only dusk that came, otherwise he would go downstream and would not have to arrive at noon.

Li Mu deliberately kept a low profile, but was afraid of those who were interested. There were crowds of people on the dock, and most of them were from the twelve outstanding clans. Everyone wanted to get close to Li Mu first and take the lead. Although it was faster, no one could compare to the Lanling Xiao family. However, in Yangzhou, the power of the Lanling Xiao family was not outstanding. None of the big deals in Yangzhou ports belonged to the Lanling Xiao family, and only one shipyard, which could barely hold on. However, even this shipyard was not the largest in Yangzhou. The largest shipyard in Yangzhou was controlled by the Zhu family.

The officials from all families came to pay their respects, but Li Chongyi blocked the marquis on the grounds that the marquis had already stopped. The boat was parked at the port, but Li Mu, Jin Chen and Wei Yingluo had already changed into the costumes of ordinary people and took a small boat to the shore.

Li Chongyi originally wanted to protect Li Mu and go with him, but how could Li Mu let him go? He was like a flagpole on the road, and it was hard to think about it without a glance. Safety issues, after Jin Chen showed his skills in the Holy Fire Order, Li Chongyi felt relieved. In terms of kung fu, Jin Chen's level was no less weak than Dugu Jiu. However, in terms of fighting skills, Jin Chen was much weaker than Dugu Jiu. However, it was still more than enough to deal with the gangsters on the street.

Li Mu and Li Chongyi made an appointment to meet at the Yuelai Inn in Yangzhou tomorrow afternoon. Yuelai Inn is also the inn where Jinyiwei stayed when he was stationed in front of the station. This inn is not very big. On the surface, it is a shop opened by a merchant named Sun, but in fact it is the property of Jisitang and is regarded as a contact base.

Mrs. Lu had already told Li Mu unreservedly about the secret of Jiesitang. After meeting the secret code, Li Mu took over the place.

Li Mu took two ladies to settle down in the inn, and Jisitang's informant also immediately told all the preparations made by each family to welcome Li Mu. If someone at the dinner party yesterday was on site, he would find something terrifying, that is, the person who reported the report could actually retell yesterday's conversation. From this, it can be seen that Jisitang's deep infiltration into the major families, and at the dinner party yesterday, Jisitang actually had Jisitang's detailed works.
