The influx of foreign businessmen, including the visits of rich businessmen in the Imperial City, made the whole Zheng family panic.


    The original means aimed at those merchants who are not obedient have been useless.


    Even Zheng Yuan personally went to Xuanbao pavilion to persuade Hu Yue to increase the restrictions of those who actually treasure.


    But this selfless shopkeeper, adhering to the principle of following, believes that anyone who meets the standard of money and silk or has enough mortgage can participate.


    Zheng Yuan returned to the mansion angrily with a blue face, and the fire in his heart ran up.


    Since the first batch of troublemakers were sent to the barren mountain, it was doomed that the Zheng family and Tang Hao were at odds, and there was no way out.


    I thought these big businessmen in this state could calm down the matter and wait for Tang Hao to lose.


    But in the Imperial City, the intervention of merchants and officialdom forces completely drowned the whole plan to block Tang Hao''s bidding.


    Zheng Yuan doesn''t have to think about what a fierce scene Jingbao will be after this.


    In an instant, the confidence of the past vanished, and some became sad for the future of the Zheng family.


    The steward hurried in from the outside, took a look at Zheng Yuan''s dignified face, swallowed his words forcibly, and stood on the side of the study in silence.


    Zheng Yuan, leaning against the seat, looked grim. Yu Guang glanced at manager Li and was very unhappy in his tone.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Upon hearing the inquiry, manager Li raised his head slightly and saw Zheng Yuan''s dignified face and raised eyebrows.


    Meditate for a moment and respond carefully.


    "Master, there is a message from Yu Sanniang. Tang Hao personally visited and interviewed Yu Sanniang on the ship for more than half an hour."


    "Not long after the mysterious woman disappeared, Tang Hao paid a visit to the Yu family. I''m afraid there is a great origin in it."


    Hearing this, Zheng Yuan sat up straight, covered his chin and thought.


    It seems that everything blurred by this attack has become very clear with this unprovoked visit.


    The Yu family supported Tang Hao and prevented them from driving Tang Hao out of Yangzhou. To put it better, they could use Tang Hao''s power to retain the status quo and achieve the purpose of competing with their own chamber.


    Zheng Yuan wrung his eyebrows and could see fire in his eyes.


    His fist was clenched, his knuckles turned white, and Zheng Yuan''s tone was full of anger.


    "The Yu family is good at calculating! It''s bad for me behind my back!"


    Steward Li readily agreed.


    "Master, the Yu family has this idea. Now they collude with Tang Hao."


    "In this way, we are in danger!"


    The combination of officials and businessmen and the interweaving of money and power can really cover up the sky in a small place like Yangzhou.


    Zheng Yuan''s face became anxious and began to pace.


    "Now we have offended Tang Hao behind his back. We have no way out."


    "Never let the two of them unite!"


    "Go and find out what Tang Hao will do next and whether he will contact the Yu family!"


    On Jiao Zao''s face, his eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and manager Li stamped his feet.


    "Master!"


    "What else to check!"


    "Tang Hao came to Yangzhou for the purpose of shipbuilding. Collecting money is the first step. The second step must be to find these aristocratic families!"


    "When we find out, it''s probably useless! If you don''t act quickly and expel Yu''s family under Tang Hao''s name before your money has passed!"


    Expel the Yu family?


    Hearing this word, Zheng Yuan''s heart jumped.


    It''s no small matter!


    The previous behind the scenes mischief was just a small mischief.


    Even if he can''t make too much trouble on Jingbao, Tang Hao will think of his identity as a marquis and won''t have a general knowledge of him as a grass-roots people.


    But if you really do something to the Yu family, you can only seize the wharf and cut off the supply of goods. These are the means in the trade route.


    This invisible will touch the laws of the Tang Dynasty and linger on the edge of breaking the law!


    The walking figure hesitated, and it was difficult to choose for a time.


    When things get big, the government won''t ignore them, and Tang Hao will certainly not stand idly by. It''s a certainty to offend Tang Hao!


    Zheng Yuan can''t hastily agree to this request. After all, this is a road that either you die or I die.


    Seeing the indecisive Zheng family leader, manager Li got worried and stepped forward.


    "Master, it''s not too late!"


    "Now that the Yu family''s wealth is exhausted, it''s just an empty shell. What momentum can there be?"


    "Think of the three forces in Yangzhou. Jiang Xiaowu is too weak. The Yu family is in financial deficit and has almost no power to fight back."


    "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Yu family. We are the only subordinates of General Yu. What are you waiting for?"


    Holding Zheng Yuan''s sleeve, Li Guanshi said.


    "Yu Sanniang has always been decisive. She will never be subdued by Tang Hao in a few words."


    "We should completely annex the Yu family before they reach an alliance!"


    "This is also the first credit for the Zheng family in front of general Yan. It is good for the public and private, beneficial and harmless!"


    The figure of thinking suddenly stopped, and there was no confusion in his eyes, which was replaced by a bright light.


    Zheng Yuan waved.


    "Prepare people to negotiate with the merchants of Yu''s Wharf nearby and encroach on Yu''s Wharf."


    "Send a letter to Quanzhou! We must take down the Yu family this time!"
