Chapter 47 The Marquis of Sinan is about to turn his back on him
"What did you say?!"
"Snowflake Salt hasn't even reached Linshui County, or Qingzhou, yet it's already unsold in this tiny Yunhai Town?!"
"And the Heavenly Snow from the Heavenly Fortune Chamber of Commerce sold out instantly?!"
Su Changsheng's first reaction upon hearing this news was, "Impossible!"
Snowflake salt, comparable to tribute salt, sells for only ten taels per catty, yet it's not selling well?!
Soon, he received the news that it was the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce that had made a move!
The salt, which was also priced at ten taels of silver per catty, was named "Heavenly Snow" by the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce!
It means that there is no salt as good as this on earth, only snow falling from the sky!
An old servant who had served Marquis Sinan Su Changsheng for decades even brought a bag of snow from the sky for Su Changsheng to examine.
After reading it, Su Changsheng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he muttered, "I've been tricked!"
Moreover, I was completely scammed!
When Su Changsheng, the Marquis of Sinan, appeared in Yunhai Town, and the Sinan Trading Company launched Snowflake Salt, it was as if Su Changsheng was endorsing Snowflake Salt!
But as a result, not a single piece of snowflake salt was sold; it became unsaleable!
Those few hundred kilograms sold were all bought by wealthy people in Yunhai Town out of respect for the Marquis's residence...
This made Su Changsheng even more upset!
Because snowflake salt is simply no match for the snow in the sky!
Losing money is a small matter, but losing face is probably a huge loss!
Not only did the Sinan Trading Company lose face, but the Marquis of Sinan also lost face!
A cold glint flashed in Su Changsheng's eyes, "Simultaneous release... this is a sniping attack!"
"What is the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce trying to do? Are they trying to oppose me, Su Changsheng?!"
Su Changsheng wished he could go to the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce right now to question them, but in the end he gave up!
Perhaps, for the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, this is just an ordinary business struggle!
If he were to personally enter the venue, everything would change!
More importantly, the Ye family of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, though seemingly just a merchant family, is actually quite extraordinary.
Even Su Changsheng, the Marquis of Sinan, couldn't afford to offend the other party so easily!
Therefore, even though he was so angry that his lungs felt like they were about to explode, Su Changsheng could only hold back!
boom!
At this moment, Su Xuan couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, drawing Su Changsheng's attention.
Su Xuan trembled all over, his eyes bloodshot: "Father, this, this... it must be that Tan Xing!"
"That Tan Xing must have conspired with the salt supplier to betray our Su family. Otherwise, how could things be such a coincidence?!"
"Neither snowflake salt nor this so-called 'heavenly snow' is something you can't normally see! But this time, they've appeared at the same time!"
"Even the release date was the same day!"
Su Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Moreover, Steward Cui has also disappeared with ten of our Marquis's personal guards. It's very likely that Tan Xing did it!"
When there was money to be made, neither Su Changsheng nor Su Xuan took Manager Cui's death to heart.
He's just a servant; what does it matter whether he lives or dies?!
But things are different now. Now that problems have arisen, things are connected!
At the very least, when you're going to settle scores with Tan Xing, you need to have a legitimate reason to do so!
"That's right!"
Su Changsheng looked at the old servant and said coldly, "That beast dared to collude with outsiders to frame my Su family. He truly doesn't know what's good for him!"
"Where is he? Where did he go? Could he have fled to avoid punishment?!"
"Old Xu, go and find out where that bastard Tan Xing went! Also... investigate who Tan Xing has been in contact with during this time!"
"Damn it, how dare you betray my Su family! You're asking for death!"
A murderous glint flashed in Su Changsheng's eyes. "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to oppose the Su family is courting death!"
If they can't deal with the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, surely they can at least control Tan Xing?!
The old servant had just brought back intelligence, and now, upon receiving the order, he went down to search for Tan Xing's whereabouts.
After the old servant left, only Su Changsheng and Su Xuan remained in the room. The previously harmonious atmosphere had now become unusually somber.
Su Xuan's eyes were red, and his chest heaved. He was worried about his ten thousand taels of silver!
He wanted a good reputation and didn't want people to say that he got the Snowflake Salt business because of Su Changsheng, so he took out 10,000 taels of silver yesterday!
That's more than the taxes he collected in Feixia Town over two years!
Most of it came from the subsidies that the First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion had been giving him during this period!
The fact that they all perished here at once was unacceptable to Su Xuan.
What's more, today is his twentieth birthday!
On my twentieth birthday, my father brought his personal guards to celebrate, giving it a grand show and attracting plenty of attention!
He also gave himself a great business opportunity that could earn him 100,000 silver dollars a year!
This should have been double the happiness...
Why, why did it suddenly turn out like this?!
Su Changsheng lost face, and he also lost 10,000 taels of silver!
At this moment, Su Xuan wished he could grab Tan Xing and tear him to pieces!
Su Changsheng glanced at him and reassured him, "Xuan'er, don't worry, this matter... has nothing to do with you!"
"No matter what happens, your father will take care of it for you!"
"Well, you are my son after all... When Old Xu comes back later, you can ask him for 15,000 taels of silver, and we'll pretend yesterday's incident never happened!"
"The extra five thousand taels is my compensation to you!"
Hearing this, Su Xuan felt a great weight lifted from his heart, was deeply moved, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"Father……"
He said solemnly, "Father, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Su Changsheng nodded and smiled, "That's how it should be. No matter what happens, we shouldn't be afraid, and we certainly shouldn't lose our fighting spirit!"
"Even if the sky falls, your father will hold it up for you!"
If an outsider were to witness this, they would likely be moved; what a touching scene of a loving father and filial son!
Meanwhile, Su Changsheng was pondering to himself, "Sigh, where am I going to find this 15,000 taels back?!"
"Hmph, that rebellious son Su Luo's fiefdom is not far away... The other day, the Xie family told me they were looking for people to mine coal!"
“One person is worth five hundred taels of silver… Heh, that rebellious son Su Luo has no hope of completing the assessment anyway, so why not take thirty people from his wretched village!”
Thinking this, Su Changsheng set his sights on Su Luo, and the gloom on his face lessened considerably.
……
"Good news! Good news!"
Su Luo had just woken up when Ye Changfeng was banging on the door and shouting, "Su Luo, amazing news!"
Yesterday, Su Luo sent Ye Hu and Zhang Daqiang back and forth between Yunhai Town and Xiaoyun Village to bring more refined salt... Snow fell from the sky, and they also sent the purchased supplies back.
He himself was resting at the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.
On the one hand, we need to ensure that there are no problems with the release of "Snow in the Sky" and we need to be able to respond to any situation based on first-hand information.
On the other hand, Su Luo really wanted to see how Su Changsheng and Su Xuan would react after they found out they had been targeted!
At the same time, we should be wary; what if Su Changsheng, the Marquis of Sinan, suddenly turns against us?
If this matter is thoroughly investigated and my identity is discovered...
