into the night.
Sheng Yuquan took people to the basement.
Seeing his red eyes, Butler Fu said with a smile, "Second Master, why did you come to a place like this?"
Speaking of which, Butler Fu has been with him for almost twenty years. Seeing his miserable appearance, Sheng Yuquan still felt a little sorry for him.
He said, "Butler Fu, I will take good care of your family."
When Butler Fu heard this, his smile froze.
Wang Han, standing aside, laughed heartily. "Cousin, cousin, I told you you're stupid, right? You keep talking about your Second Master. When something goes wrong, you're immediately blamed. You're truly stupid! Too stupid!"
Sheng Yuquan frowned slightly and waved his hand.
Three people opened the iron gate and walked in. Two of them held Wang Han down while one took out a porcelain bottle and poured medicine into his mouth.
"Ahhhhh...ah...cough cough...you will not die well! You killed people, you will not die well!" Wang Han struggled violently.
Butler Fu looked ashen and watched in silence.
I think he really deserved a bad death.
Over the years, he has helped the Second Master do many immoral things, and has even killed people.
Not long after taking the medicine, Wang Han began foaming at the mouth, twitched a few times and then died.
Sheng Yuquan said in embarrassment: "Old Fu, I have no choice. I will take good care of your family. You..."
Butler Fu smiled faintly and said, "Second Master, I will not be able to serve you from now on. I hope that Second Master will be safe and sound."
After saying that, he took the medicine bottle from Sheng Yuquan, tilted his head back and drank it.
Sheng Yuquan gritted his teeth and walked out of the basement.
He hates it!
The boss was pursuing the porcelain business relentlessly, and the opium business was destroyed by the boss just as it was getting started.
He said he and Lao Si were brothers, no one was different. But he turned around and started working with Lao Si and the Bai family. He made a lot of money, but he was trying to stop his business!
The eldest brother has been like this since he was a child. He always looks superior and treats his younger brother like a servant, who has to listen to him in everything.
On Sheng Zexi's side.
"Master, the second master has already taken action." The servant reported.
Sheng Zexi took a sip of red wine and said, "I understand."
The old smoker's son was obviously heading for the Sheng family.
Since the Sheng family had to distance themselves from the opium issue, this was a scapegoat... Butler Fu had to be the one to do it.
The next morning, Sheng Yuquan was called by Old Master Sheng.
His face darkened as he slammed the table heavily. "Kneel down! Do you have anything to do with the opium issue?"
Sheng Yuquan knelt in the middle of the hall and said aggrievedly, "Dad, I really don't know. Steward Fu only said that one of his fellow townsmen wanted to rent our shop to open a teahouse. I figured the person who rented that shop before was selling tea, so opening a teahouse would be fine too."
My son was just doing Butler Fu a favor by renting the shop to his fellow villager. I really didn't know that Wang Han and Butler Fu were secretly selling opium!
Old Master Sheng looked at him doubtfully: "Bring up that boss surnamed Wang and housekeeper Fu to me."
Sheng Zexi hurriedly said, "Grandfather, we can't bring this man here. Last night, the guards came to report that Wang Han and Steward Fu committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Old Master Sheng's face darkened and he looked straight at Sheng Yuquan.
Sheng Yuquan lowered his head guiltily and didn't dare to speak.
"Grandfather, now that the person is dead, we have given an explanation to the family of the deceased. Although this matter is not the fault of our Sheng family, it is also because we did not manage the servants well. The family of the deceased should be compensated." Sheng Zexi said.
"Yuquan, you pay for this." said Mr. Sheng.
Sheng Yuquan nodded quickly and said, "Son, I understand."
After everyone had left, Mr. Sheng smashed the teacup and almost choked out of breath.
Sheng Zexi hurried forward to calm him down: "Grandfather, please don't be angry. What will happen if you get too angry?"
"How could such a bastard come out of my Sheng family? He even dares to touch opium!" Old Master Sheng's chest heaved violently.
Sheng Zexi advised: "Grandfather, I suspect someone is setting up a trap for my second uncle..."
"If he didn't have this greed, who could trap him? Don't think I don't know anything. He used to run to Qunfangyuan every now and then, wasn't it just for that puff of cigarette? Alas!" Master Sheng sighed heavily.
Sheng Zexi poured him a cup of tea and said, "Grandfather, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Please worry less and take care of your health."
Old Master Sheng took a sip of tea, took Sheng Zexi's hand, and said earnestly, "Zexi, the future of the Sheng family depends on you. Your second uncle and Zekai are completely useless. Your father is always calculating and too utilitarian. He has no humanity. Business is more than just calculation. His behavior will only make people feel more and more alienated."
Sheng Zexi smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I know what's going on."
"It's good to know, it's good to know! As for the person who set up a trap for your second uncle, you can investigate without worry. You can mobilize all the manpower and material resources of the Sheng family." said Mr. Sheng.
"My grandson knows."
After hearing the servant's report, Sheng Yuqing couldn't help but sneer, "The old man will never forget his power balancing trick. Knowing that the second son is not smart enough, he insisted that he take over the bank and money house just to contain me.
Later, seeing that there was no grudge between me and the second son, who obeyed me in everything, he started thinking again and handed over the transportation channel to the fourth son, letting the fourth son strangle me. Now that the second son is in a hopeless situation, he has set his sights on my son.
In the afternoon, Sheng Zexi had the body carried to the old smoker's house without hiding it along the way.
When they arrived at the old smoker's house, his son came out.
"My Sheng family has already investigated the matter. There are indeed people secretly selling opium in that teahouse, and the culprits are these two." Sheng Zexi raised his chin.
His men then lifted the white cloth, and the onlookers exclaimed in unison.
"After investigation, it was discovered that Wang Han, the owner of the Jinshan Teahouse, was the cousin of Fu Yongqiang, a servant of the Sheng family. The two of them opened the Jinshan Teahouse together. After investigating the matter yesterday, we wanted to send them to the police station, but they had already committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Although this wasn't done by the Sheng family, we didn't manage our servants well, so we bear some responsibility. Here's one thousand dollars as compensation from the Sheng family. I hope you'll accept it," said Sheng Zexi.
When the onlookers saw the boxes of silver dollars, they all praised the eldest son of the Sheng family for his kindness and magnanimity.
The old smoker's son hesitated. Sheng Zexi saw this and walked over to him, lowering his voice and saying, "That's enough. I'm giving you a way out, so you should take it well. Don't let it go too far, or you'll end up losing everything. I can find out who ordered you to do this."
The old smoker's son said guiltily, "Thank you, Master Sheng, for your consideration!"
