There was a high-end sandalwood coffin in the center of the mourning hall. After entering the room, Tan Zong lit a stick of incense, worshiped the coffin for a while, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and looked at the coffin expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xie, I didn't expect that the farewell in the casino would be a perfect match. I came here to send Brother Xie for a ride, I hope Brother Xie will go all the way."

Hearing Tan Zong's words, the people of the Xie family were aroused of sadness and couldn't help crying loudly. The mourning hall suddenly burst into tears.[]

"Young Master Huang, Mr. Huang, you are a lot of sir. Don't drive us away, don't drive us away." As soon as Tan Zong finished speaking, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed to his feet and hugged his legs and said.

"Mrs. Second Lady is tired, help her down." Seeing this, Du frowned slightly and said to the maids beside her.

The maids dragged and dragged the middle-aged woman who was begging loudly in their mouths. Tan Zong recognized this time. It was the woman who was slapped by a casino man in the face when she tried to carry the money box and Xie Hao's second wife.

"I was rude just now, so Mr. Huang laughed." Du said to Tan Zongfu.

"Madam Xie, Huang has something to discuss, so I ask Mrs. Huang to move." Tan Zong bowed to Du, and just now, a bold idea came into his mind.

"Young Master Huang, please." Du reached out and made a gesture of invitation, followed Tan Zong to the lakeside, and the people from the Xie family, Shi Shi, Tao Yong and others stood from afar.

"Madam Xie, Mr. Huang heard that Mr. Xie has been following Mr. Xie to do grain business since he was a child. He must be proficient in this trip. Mr. Huang wants Mr. Xie to help Mr. Xie in the grain business. I wonder what Mr. Xie wants Mr. Xie to do grain business?" Tan Zong stood by the lake, looked at the calm water surface, and said to Du with a smile.

"Young Master is broad-minded, and Du really admires him." Du never expected that Tan Zong would say such words. After a moment of stunnedness, he shook his head at Tan Zong with a wry smile, "Young Master is kind to Du, but the good-hearted person has a deep relationship with his deceased father, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for a moment to let go of the grudge in his heart and cause trouble for the young master."

"Mr. Xie is a sensible person. Huang believes he should know what to do." Tan Zong smiled slightly, "Besides, with Mrs. Xie's teachings, I think Mr. Xie should not disappoint me."

"Madam Xie, do you think of Mrs. Xie?" Before Du could speak, Tan Zong suddenly changed his mind and asked.

"Liang'er and Fang Rong, the second lady of the Fang family, were in love with each other." Du was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously. She didn't understand why Tan Zong asked this question.

"When Huang just passed by Tan's mansion, he found that Mr. Xie and the people in Tan's mansion seemed to have some misunderstandings." Tan Zong almost understood what was going on and said calmly.

"I'm not hiding it to the young master. When Zun's husband was alive, he had made a marriage with the Fang family. Liang's son will marry Fang Rong next year." Du's face showed a sad look, "As soon as Zun's husband leaves, this marriage will be given up."

All dynasties have added more icing on the cake, and fewer help in time. When the Fang family saw that the Xie family had finished, they resolutely broke off the engagement regardless of the past friendship between the two families. They returned the betrothal gifts they had sent by the Xie family at noon today.

Xie Liang is the eldest son of the Xie family. Suddenly, he heard the news of the Fang family breaking the engagement, so he went to the Fang family to ask about the truth, but the door didn't even let him in and rushed out directly.

"If Mrs. Xie does not object, Huang wants to go to Tan's house to propose marriage to Miss Fang Er tomorrow." Tan Zong smiled slightly and looked at Du meaningfully.

"Thank you, Young Master." Du was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, leaned over to bow to Tan Zong, looking a little excited. His move undoubtedly relieved Xie Hao from the pain.

Afterwards, Du called Xie Liang, who was depressed and in a trance, to the lakeside, and Tan Zong was waiting for him in a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"What are you asking for me?" Xie Liang came to the pavilion and looked at Tan Zong who was looking at the lake coldly, his eyes full of hostility.

If it weren't for Tan Zong, Xie Laohei would not have died and the Xie family would not have collapsed. If the Xie family did not collapse, the Fang family would not have regretted their marriage. In his opinion, Tan Zong was the culprit for all this.

"Do you think I've harmed your Xie family?" Tan Zong turned his head and looked at Xie Liang who was glaring at him, stared at his eyes, and asked faintly.

"Hmph!" Xie Liang wanted to say that Tan Zong was the culprit, but when he saw Tan Zong's sharp gaze, for some reason, swallowed the words he said, snorted coldly, staring at him unwilling to be outdone.

"Boss Xie is gone, Huang thought you could support the Xie family. Now it seems that you are just a useless coward." Tan Zong shook his head, then looked away and looked at the water, "You go."

"Why do you say I'm a coward!" Xie Liang felt contempt and insult from Tan Zong's light tone, glared at him and shouted, "Is it because you came from a wealthy family? Did you beat my father in a casino?"

"Young Master Xie, if you are not a coward, why do you look like a dog that is a loser now? You only know how to complain here and blame others?" Tan Zong looked at him coldly, "Don't you know that the Xie family needs someone to turn the tide and stabilize people's hearts at this time. Do you think who else can take on this important task besides you?"

"The Xie family has been decayed, it's over, nothing, what can I do, what can I do?" Xie Liang was excited when he heard this, waved his arms, and roared at Tan Zong with red eyes.

Seeing this, Tao Yong was worried that Xie Liang would be unfavorable to Tan Zong. Just as he was about to bring people forward, Shi Shi shook her head slightly at him. She felt that the situation was under Tan Zong's control.

"You can be like a man, and you no longer let your mother worry about you." Tan Zong stared at Xie Liang who looked crazy and said word by word.

Xie Liang was stunned when he heard this. The corners of his mouth squirmed a few times, and suddenly realized that he could not argue. He suddenly hugged his head with both hands and squatted on the ground and cried loudly. He felt too much depression and anger in his heart to release.

"Listen, I'll go to Fang's mansion to propose marriage to Fang Rong tomorrow. You can write a letter to Fang Rong and ask her to agree to my proposal." After Xie Liang was almost crying, Tan Zong looked at the water and said lightly.

"You have to be nice to her. If you dare to bully her, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost." Xie Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then stood up, smiled sadly, and looked at Tan Zong with a firm expression, his eyes full of pain.

Xie Liang knew that it was impossible for him and Fang Rong. Although he hated and even hated Tan Zong in his heart, he had to admit that Tan Zong was a number one person, and he was worthy of Fang Rong in terms of family background and appearance. For example, Fang Rong married those young master brother-qiang who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"It seems that you haven't understood what Huang means yet." Tan Zong shook his head and stared at the lake. Feng Qingyun said lightly, "Do you think Huang is the kind of villain who takes advantage of others' danger?"

"Then...who are you going to propose marriage to?" Xie Liang was confused at first, then thought of something, his expression changed, and he asked stutteringly, his expression was extremely nervous.

"Huang is going to propose marriage for a distant cousin. As for whether the second lady of the Fang family will marry that distant cousin, it depends on whether Mr. Xie will disappoint Huang." Tan Zong turned around and said meaningfully.

"What are you going to do with Mr. Huang?" Xie Liang savored Tan Zong's words and asked in confusion. He had already understood what Tan Zong meant at this time, but he was not sure about Tan Zong's intention to do so.

"When Huang was placed in the 'nail' of the Grain Chamber of Commerce, monitor every move in the Grain Chamber of Commerce." Tan Zong stared at Xie Liang's eyes and said slowly, "Everyone outside knows that you are Huang's enemy. If anyone is not good to Huang, you will be the first target they will win over."

"But... I have no money on my lower body, when can I join the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce?" Xie Liang was shocked. He never expected that Tan Zong had such a plan.

"I will give you five hundred taels of silver as capital, and you can continue to live in Xie's house. However, your sister Xie Ying must sell her to me." Tan Zong pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, this is just for outsiders to see. I won't touch her at all. I will find her a good home in a few years."

When Xie Liang heard this, he frowned and fell into a fierce ideological struggle. The conditions proposed by Tan Zong were undoubtedly a great temptation, but doing so would be too unfair to Xie Ying.

"Young Master Xie, you must be in trouble." Tan Zong knew that Xie Liang was in a dilemma, so he looked at him with a serious expression, "You are the pillar of the Xie family now, and wherever the Xie family goes, it depends on you."

After a long time, Xie Liang sighed long, closed his eyes, nodded at Tan Zong, and gritted his teeth and agreed. He could not refuse the conditions offered by Tan Zong, and for the sake of the Xie family, he could only feel wronged Xie Ying.

"Remember, heaven and earth know this, you know me, I can't tell the third person!" Tan Zong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this and whispered to Xie Liang, "Okay, punch me now?"

Xie Liang thought he had heard it wrong and opened his eyes suspiciously.

"I have a crush on your sister and want to force her to be her personal maid. In exchange, I will give you the house and five hundred taels of silver." Tan Zong smiled slightly and explained. He felt that his masterpiece was perfect. Before he knew it, he stuffed an undercover agent into the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as Tan Zong finished speaking, Xie Liang suddenly punched his left cheek. The force was so strong that Tan Zong couldn't help but take a step back.

"My father's affairs are written off." After the blow, Xie Liang looked at Tan Zong who was covering his face, whispered, turned around and left with anger. The fist on his right fist was in a scorching pain. The punch just now used all his strength, and now he feels much more relaxed.

Tao Yong and the others wanted to stop Xie Liang, but Tan Zong waved his hand, so he let Xie Liang go with some reluctance.

"Brother, are you okay?" Shi Shi walked over and looked at Tan Zong with concern.

"It's okay!" Tan Zong smiled disconcerted. His cheeks were already red and swollen. It was obvious that Tao Yong, the kid, took the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge.

After leaving Xie's mansion, Tan Zong first sent Shi Shi back, then bought some ice cubes and rushed back home.

"Brother, Yao's Mansion has sent a wedding invitation and invites you to attend the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow." Shortly after Tan Zong sat down in the living room, while holding a bag of ice cubes to apply to his face, Tao Ying walked in with a wedding invitation in his hand.

Seeing Tan Zong’s appearance at this time, Tao Ying was slightly stunned, “Brother, your face?”

"I was stumbled by the words." Tan Zong smiled and shrugged, his eyes fell on the wedding invitation in Tao Ying's hand, "Which Yao Mansion?"

"It's the Yao family who wanted to marry Shi Shi's sister a few days ago. The wedding invitation was delivered by the Yao family's butler himself." Tao Ying handed the wedding invitation to Tan Zong and explained with a smile.

"So it's this Yao Mansion!" Tan Zong nodded, looked through the wedding invitation, and said to Tao Ying with a smile, "I have promised Yao Qingyuan that when Mr. Yao married Mrs. Ninth, he will give him a generous gift. You go and arrange it, and I will take it there to him at that time."

"I'll go and prepare now." Tao Ying nodded and got up and went out.

Tan Zong put the wedding invitation on the table casually. He knew very well that Mr. Yao would get married so quickly and handle it so well with such a big fanfare, in addition to regaining the face he lost from Shi Shi, he might also have the intention of showing kindness to him.

In the evening, Tan Zong went out to drink with Fatty Wang. Fatty Wang introduced two leaders from the Grain Trade Chamber of Commerce to him. Everyone had a great time drinking and singing and dancing.

The next afternoon, Tan Zong went to Fang Mansion.

Fang Jieming, the owner of Fang's mansion, is engaged in a rouge and water powder business. Although he is also a well-known figure in Yangzhou City, his family is a little worse than the Xie family. This can be seen from the size and momentum of the house.

If you want to quantify it, the Xie family's house is worth one thousand taels, while the Fang Mansion's house is only five hundred taels.

"I don't know that Mr. Huang is here, Fang is in a desperate situation and hopes to atone for his sins." While Tan Zong was drinking tea in the living room, a middle-aged man walked in and smiled and bowed to him.

"Huang took the liberty to bother you, please forgive me, Boss Fang." Tan Zong put down the teacup and gave the middle-aged man with a smile. He was Fang Jieming.

"Young Master Huang is here this time, I don't know what's going on?" After sitting down, Fang Jieming asked with a smile. He had heard of Tan Zong, who had been making a name for himself in Yangzhou City for a short time, but he had never met him.

"I heard that the second lady of the house is virtuous, beautiful and dignified. Huang wanted to propose marriage to the second lady for his cousin, so he came to visit and gave him a bride." Tan Zong smiled slightly and looked at Fang Jieming, "I hope Boss Fang will fulfill his wish."

As he said that, Tao Yong, who was standing beside Tan Zong, took out a silver note of 500 taels and placed it in front of Fang Jieming.

Five hundred taels! After seeing the amount on the silver bill, Fang Jieming's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. From Tan Zong's tone, he felt that he was determined to win.

"Where is this cousin of Mr. Huang?" Fang Jieming pondered for a moment and looked at Tan Zong quietly.

"He is now in the capital, and he has some mundane things and cannot be separated for the time being." Tan Zong smiled and said.

"Beijing?" Fang Jieming's eyebrows twitched a few times again. The capital was the political center of Dashun, and the people lived in the real dignitaries of Dashun Country. Judging from Tan Zong's demeanor, he must have thought that his cousin was also a famous young man.
