A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 104 Jiangnan Li is in danger again 2

In the dense forest under the moon, Zhao Changhe, dressed in black, handed the small wooden box in his hand to the tall and thin man in front of him who looked like a rogue.

"Boss Zhao is really generous!" The wooden box was opened, and the ten gold ingots inside made the man's eyes light up. He closed the wooden box with satisfaction and smiled at Zhao Changhe.

"This is just a deposit. You will get much more than this after the deal is done." Yue Changhe's expression could not be seen clearly because he was hidden under the black cloak, but these cold words were extremely tempting in the man's ears.

"We will also handle this matter for what Boss Zhao said." The man chuckled twice and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Zhao Changhe remind him again:

"Remember, you must not let Jiangnan's famous Li buy even a pound or two of dye."

"Don't worry, Boss Zhao. We know what we are doing and we won't leave any dye residue for them."

The man replied nonchalantly and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Zhao, are you willing to entrust such an important matter to such a ruffian?" The forest was quiet for a moment. Suddenly, Yan Yu, holding a sword, appeared silently behind Zhao Changhe and laughed coldly.

"Miss Xuanyu, you don't know that they are ruffians on the surface, but secretly they are a huge team spread all over the Jingsong Kingdom. They rob and kill people and steal as long as there is huge profit to be made." Zhao Changhe was not surprised by Xuanyu's appearance. He said calmly and gave Xuanyu a sarcastic smile: "Miss Xuanyu only set fire but didn't kill people. How come the people of Yingmen have become so soft-hearted?"

"It is not Master Zhao's turn to tell what to do with the people from Yingmen. My goal is to bring down the famous Li from Jiangnan. There is no personal grudge. I will not kill anyone unless necessary. Besides, making a big deal out of this will only win more sympathy for the famous Li from Jiangnan, which will be detrimental to future plans." Yan Yu crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Zhao Changhe with cold eyes.

Seeing Xuanyu provoking him with a sword in hand, Zhao Changhe was naturally angry but dared not say anything. He could only ask depressedly: "At this time, Li Xingyuan will definitely ask his housekeeper to go to Southern Xinjiang and Liunan Kingdom again. Miss Xuanyu, don't you plan to stop it?"

"Don't worry, someone will be there to keep Butler Fang in southern Xinjiang." Yan Yu smiled indifferently, as if she was confident.

"I can finally witness with my own eyes the step-by-step destruction of the famous Li family in Jiangnan, and watch Li Xingyuan get desperate. I will take this opportunity to make him taste the pain of losing a son!" Thinking of the famous Li family in Jiangnan being in chaos due to the lack of new products, Li Xingyuan being overwhelmed, helpless and desperate, Zhao Changhe's heart suddenly revealed a long-lost ecstasy. However, in his excited thoughts, he did not notice the murderous intent flashing in Huanyu's beautiful eyes.

Although Li Xingyuan was bedridden, he anxiously waited for news from outside every day. After receiving the letter from Manager Yuan, the shopkeepers from all over the country did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed around looking for dyes. However, they had no idea that these dyes had already been bought.

"Master, it's bad. Shopkeepers Ni, Feng, and Yang all wrote back saying that all the dyes in various places were bought out in advance, and they couldn't even find a scrap of material."

Manager Yuan's anxious words startled Li Xingyuan from his sickbed and he almost fainted. Fortunately, the doctor pinched his Ren Zhong acupoint and made him drink half a bowl of medicine before he recovered.

Aunt Xin, who had been worried for days, couldn't help but wipe away her tears again after seeing this situation.

"Butler Fang... Is there any news about Butler Fang?" Li Xingyuan took a long time to speak, and then hurriedly asked Manager Yuan.

"Butler Fang, Manager Lu, and Liangdu have no news yet, so Master, please don't worry and take care of yourself!"

Manager Yuan's words once again made Li Xingyuan feel relieved. He couldn't help but criticize Manager Yuan for his quick-witted and careless nature. Liangdu and Wangcheng were both farther north. He had some hope but not much. He placed most of his hopes on Manager Fang who was heading to Southern Xinjiang and Liunan Kingdom.

That night, when You Zhizhou in the Qile City government office heard about the current predicament of Jiangnan Mingli, he could not help but worry. Jiangnan Mingli occupies an important position in the entire Jiangnan economy. Once Jiangnan Mingli encounters a crisis, it will inevitably affect Jiangnan's economy.

"Brother Yunye, you must remember the twelve most important rules for doing business: one is to know people, to know the good and the bad, and to keep accounts; two is to accept people, to treat them politely, and to have many contacts; three is to settle down, to get tired of the old and like the new, which is a big problem for merchants; four is to reorganize..."

"Shopkeeper, there's a letter from Qile City."

In the cloth shop of Ming Li in Liangdu Jiangnan, Mu Liang was discussing business with Li Yunye in the backyard room when they were suddenly interrupted by the waiter who rushed in.

"Qile City? A letter from my mother?" Li Yunye listened to the business talk as if he was listening to a lullaby. He was in a daze, but he immediately woke up when he heard the three words "Qile City".

"You go and do your work." Mu Liang glanced at the letter and said with a smile to the waiter who was still waiting beside him.

"Yes." The waiter then realized what was happening and left the room.

"Something happened." Seeing that the waiter had gone away and An Yun was guarding the yard, Mu Liang handed the letter to Li Yunye with a frown.

Seeing his brother's rare serious expression, Li Yunye hurriedly picked up the letter and read it carefully. As he read, he began to panic: "Brother Muliang, what should I do?"

"The most urgent thing is to find a nearby dye merchant as Manager Yuan said." Mu Liang was calm and collected. After taking the letter from Li Yunye's hand, he went straight out of the cloth shop.

"Wait for me!" Li Yunye was stunned for a moment and hurried to catch up. Seeing this, An Yun also followed closely behind.

There is a large commercial area to the east of Liangdu City. Mu Liang asked all the dye merchants and herbal medicine merchants there but found nothing.

"It's strange. In such a big capital city, even madder, safflower and gardenia are gone?" Li Yunye complained anxiously as the three of them walked out of the trading area.

After staying at the Li family for several months, Jiang Siyao naturally knew the basic operations of the famous Li family in Jiangnan. Every spring, the Li family would purchase raw materials in large quantities to dye new cloth. Now early spring has arrived, but who would have thought that the dyes purchased in large quantities were burned in a fire. If the new cloth in spring could not be replaced as promised, it would probably damage the reputation of the famous Li family in Jiangnan. The loss would be unimaginable.

"There is no other way, we can only go out and buy it." Mu Liang shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Where are you going?" Li Yunye asked hurriedly and curiously.

"It's obvious that someone is targeting the famous Li from Jiangnan. Even the dyes in Liangdu are gone. I'm afraid there's not much hope in other places. We can only look west."

"To the west..."

"West Moon Country."

"No, no, Xiyue Country is far away. If you leave at this time, what will happen to the cloth shop in Liangdu?" Upon hearing the word Xiyue Country, Li Yunye shook his head repeatedly.

"You are already familiar with the cloth shops in Beijing, I believe..." Mu Liang patted Li Yunye's shoulder and smiled encouragingly, but before he could finish his words, he was shaken off by the other party:

"I don't trust myself!"

After saying this, Li Yunye ran away. How could he bear such a heavy burden suddenly thrown at him?
