0249: Make It A Complete Joke.
At noon, in the castle hall of the second-class Marquis family of Poxiu.
At this time, many people gathered, and the one sitting on the main seat was Newman Poxiu, who was the head of the family.
Now his face is gloomy and terrifying, and his deep eyes are sharply looking at everyone present.
The sons and retainers of the Marquess of Newman were all in the hall, and their daily faces were also not good-looking.
"It's horrible, I've been fine all the time, why did something go wrong last night?"
Toby Poxiu's eyes were wide open, with a ferocious expression on his face, as if he wanted to eat people.
He is the younger brother of the Marquis Newman and a retainer of this family. He is responsible for the black gloves.
This is why Toby is so angry. After hearing the news this morning, he was so angry that he couldn't eat breakfast.
"Toby Uncle, I've said it all, since the Blackwater Gang can't be managed well, shouldn't it be time to abdicate and make way for Xian?"
Andre Poxiu looked at Toby sarcastically, with disdain and gloating on his face.
He is the eldest son of Marquess Newman, and he is mainly in charge of the white glove business, but he has always been thinking about Toby's black glove.
For no other reason, black gloves will always be the most profitable place for the family. An Lie is used to spending money lavishly, so he naturally wants to take over the most profitable black gloves.
"Abdicate to whom? To you? Can you manage a good black glove?"
Toby didn't give up much, looked at his nephew with a sneer, and said mockingly, "This month, you can lose even the white gloves that the family has been running for so long, and you still want to take over the black gloves?
"Yes, yes, so now that the Blackwater Gang has been wiped out, it's my problem, right?" An Lie seized the opportunity to add insult to injury.
He thinks that this moment is the best opportunity. The smuggling has been discovered, and the current wind direction outside is not good for the Poxiu family.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to seize the management rights of the Black Gloves and let his uncle be severely reprimanded by his father.
"Even if I hand over the black gloves to you, the end will be the same, or even worse." Toby clasped his hands on his chest in disdain.
"Try it if you don't believe me." An Lie looked at the other party with a retreat.
"Okay!" Marquis Newman shouted in a deep voice.
The gloomy face on his face became a little bit more, and he looked at his younger brother and son fiercely with his eyes.
"..." The people in the hall fell silent immediately, and they all looked respectfully at the Marquis who was sitting on the main seat. "
"This is not a trivial matter. It concerns the face and future of the Poxiu family." Marquis Newman looked coldly at the people below.
"Patriarch, if we don't arrange a middleman to eliminate the Holy League, it's this underground force that made our family's reputation so bad." Toby immediately raised his head and said.
He is itching to hate the Holy League now, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly.
Marquis Newman narrowed his eyes and looked at Toby, and asked in a cold voice, "How did it come from outside... Can't you hear it? What an idiot."
In just one morning, the story of the Poxiu family's salt smuggling has spread to the entire imperial capital.
When he heard the news in the morning, he was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack. The always low-key Marquis Newman couldn't figure out why he was discovered.
The Marquis Newman looked at his silent brother, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Don't act rashly, I will stop all the smuggling, and wait until the limelight passes.'
If the black gloves of the Poxiu family are still in operation at this time, it is nothing more than telling the emperor directly that I am smuggling salt, so come and catch me.
"Yes, Patriarch." Bibi nodded unwillingly.
He turned his head and saw An Lie with a smug face, wishing he could go up and give him a slap.
An Lie also gave the other party a disdainful white eye, as if saying that I will pull you off the horse sooner or later.
"Check, find out for me who is behind the Holy League.
Marquis Newman was so angry that his beard trembled, and he said with a sullen face, "And the initiator of this public opinion, I want to see who is behind the scenes."
In just half a day, the story of the Poxiu family's salt smuggling spread so quickly.
"Yes, Patriarch." You Bei responded immediately.
He turned around and left the hall with a slight bend, and the others also slowly dispersed.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
As time passed by every minute and every second.
Night came quietly.
In the study room of the Poxiu family castle.
The Marquis Newman was flipping through a book of sheepskins before the candlelight.
Toby was standing aside at the moment, and reported with a serious expression, "Patriarch, it has been found out that the boss of the Holy League is a wolf demihuman. I don't know her real name, but everyone calls her Scarlet."
"Crimson? Who is the nobleman behind her?" Marquis Newman covered the book.
"It's Earl Qiao Ji." Toby said immediately.
"It's him?"
Marquis Newman sat up straight suddenly, and said with a dark face, "A little earl actually reached out to me.
Toby was also very annoyed, and said angrily, "Patriarch, let me send someone to teach him a lesson.
0 looking for flowers......
He really couldn't swallow this breath, especially at noon, An Lie's face that watched the show made him even more upset.
Toby knew that if this matter was not handled properly, he might have some rights taken back by his family.
"No, he is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, so you can't touch him easily."
Marquis Newman thought of the speed at which Qiao Ji was promoted, and the reason behind this must not be simple.
"Then what should we do? Patriarch, are we going to suffer this?" Toby became more and more angry as he thought about it.
"How is it possible? What we want to do is to kill them with one blow. Small fights like the Haiba family will not work."
Marquis Newman was very disdainful of the Haiba family, and said, "I'm not as stupid as they are, and put myself in it."
0
All the nobles in the imperial capital knew about the Haiba family, and many people took it as a joke.
"The owner of the house is wise." Toby quickly flattered him.
"His business is very profitable. A bottle of perfume can earn ten gold coins, which is much better than smuggling.
Newman smelled the smell on his body, and remembered that he had asked someone to buy Qiao Ji's perfume, and his face became even darker.
He believes that the perfume business is not only profitable, but also safer than smuggling. If smuggling is not done like it is now, the Poxiu family's reputation will be ruined.
"Patriarch, his property still has the Yellow Crane Tower. I see a lot of people going there, and it is full of people every day." Toby said immediately.
He went there yesterday, and he went to the box on the fourth floor on purpose. Now that he thinks about it, he still feels uncomfortable.
"Have you found out who is contributing to the flames?" Marquis Newman asked.
He didn't think that a rising star earl would be able to cause such a big storm of public opinion.
"I haven't found out who it is yet, and I can't trace the source." Toby shook his head helplessly.
"Trash." Marquis Newman snapped.
He was thinking with low eyebrows, and began to suspect that other smuggling nobles did it. After all, it was a private business that was not limited to the Poxiu family in the king.
"Patriarch, I will continue to send people to investigate." Toby said respectfully.
"Go on, send me someone to watch Qiao Ji during this time, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormal behavior." Marquis Newman waved his hand.
"Yes. Toby nodded, turned and left the study.
