They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 42 Double-crossing? No, I take it all.

"He's trying to double-cross us?!"

Zhang Daqiang almost shouted, his face full of anger: "You bastard, young master, you're not being harsh enough! This person isn't just like a pig or a dog, he's worse than a pig or a dog!"

Su Luo had specifically instructed that when they were out in public, people should not call him "son-in-law," but rather "young master."

"Cough cough!"

Su Luo coughed twice to stop Zhang Daqiang, after all, this was someone else's territory.

Even if Steward Cui isn't a good person, he shouldn't have gone so far.

Moreover, what does "double-crossing" even mean?!

I am a law-abiding citizen!

He then looked at Tan Xing, still calm, as if he had expected this: "Manager Tan, I understand the principle that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. What kind of background I have in other places is not important."

"The important thing is that I was just a passerby in Yunhai Town."

"I am profitable to him, so this Steward Cui will definitely try to make a move against me. Anyway, no matter what the consequences are, the Marquis of Sinan's mansion will back him up!"

Tan Xing nodded, somewhat surprised. This young master Luo seemed to have a clear understanding of everything.

If that's the case, why did he still offend Steward Cui so much?

Could it be that he still has some trump card up his sleeve?!

Moreover, this trump card is something that even Manager Cui is wary of!

"Young Master Luo, you are right!"

Thinking of this, Tan Xing gritted his teeth, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.

“Young Master Luo, to be honest, ten days ago, after you left, I took three hundred catties of snowflake salt and went to see Steward Cui.”

"My original intention was to get him to help me get promoted through the snowflake salt, but I didn't expect that after he saw the snowflake salt, he would become extremely greedy and want to keep it for himself."

"Moreover, he suspects you have a new salt-making method and wants to control you, then present you to our Marquis's eldest son as his birthday gift."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daqiang was trembling with rage, wishing he could rush out and smash Manager Cui's face with a single punch.

"Young master, this Steward Cui is a real scoundrel!"

Even Su Luo was so angry that he laughed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Give me away as a gift?!"

"And it was given to the eldest son of that marquis's family..."

Su Luo chuckled and said in a cold voice, "This Manager Cui has quite the idea..."

He gave Tan Xing a deep look and asked, "Then why are you telling me all this?"

Tan Xing's expression shifted between light and dark as he said, "Because I want to ask Young Master Luo for help!"

"That Steward Cui is a complete treacherous and untrustworthy man. I offered him snowflake salt, and not only did he not promote me, he even wanted his concubine's brother to take my position!"

"Moreover, they want all the credit for my work to go to the other party!"

At this point, he suddenly looked up at Su Luo: "Young Master Luo, I don't want to stay here forever, so I hope you can help me!"

"If you can help me, I can... help you get rid of Steward Cui!"

Upon hearing this, Su Luo gave Tan Xing a deep look. "Help me? How will you help me?"

Tan Xing said, "Although Manager Cui wanted to take action against me, he thought he had kept it a secret well, so he assumed I was unaware and still trusted me to some extent."

“I can tell you all of his plans, Young Master Luo…”

Hearing this, Su Luo understood: "So, you want to make a deal with me?"

Tan Xing nodded and said, "That's right, as long as Young Master Luo agrees, I can help you..."

"hehe!"

Su Luo shook his head, then suddenly stared at Tan Xing: "Manager Tan, have you forgotten something? You wanted to take a kickback first!"

"Do you believe that if I told you that our initial deal was for 5,000 catties of snowflake salt, Steward Cui's expression would change completely?"

Even if he's just playing along, he wants to get his hands on the five thousand catties of snowflake salt first, and you will be dealt with immediately!

"So, before you decided to make a deal with me, did you even consider whether you were qualified?!"

At this point, Su Luo noticed that Tan Xing was already pale and sweating profusely.

It was only at this moment that Tan Xing realized that the young master Luo's initial act of helping him was not out of kindness.

Instead, they want to completely control themselves!

Just as Su Luo said, he had no right to trade with Su Luo at all!

Because his life was in Su Luo's hands!

Thinking of this, his body went limp, and he almost knelt down.

"Then...Young Master Luo, what do you think we should do?"

Tan Xing trembled slightly and said, "As long as Young Master Luo says the word, I'll do anything!"

A glint of light flashed in Su Luo's eyes. "It's very simple. Just do as I tell you..."

……

Soon, two thousand catties of snowflake salt were delivered to the Sinan Trading Company.

Manager Cui reappeared, thoroughly inspected the items, and after confirming that everything was correct, he smiled.

"This snowflake salt of such quality is truly excellent; it's already comparable to tribute salt..."

"This snowflake salt is definitely not from the south. It's very likely that someone has come up with a new salt-making method!"

Manager Cui was incredibly excited, thinking to himself, "A new salt-making method is worth far more than ten thousand taels of silver! It's worth hundreds of thousands, even millions!"

"Tomorrow is the eldest son's birthday, and the Marquis will also be in Yunhai Town. If I can give this method to the Marquis, I can be guaranteed a life of wealth and honor!"

"Therefore, we must keep that Young Master Luo under control!"

At that moment, Tan Xing rushed out, his face full of excitement.

Manager Cui immediately stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Well? Can we make our move now?!"

"That guy dared to insult me ​​like that, I will never let him get away with it. I will not only torture him to the point of making him vomit up the salt-making method, but I will also make him wish he were dead..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Xing shook his head and said, "Manager Cui, we mustn't act rashly against him!"

"Why?!"

Tan Xing said, "Young Master Luo told me that this time, he not only brought two thousand catties of snowflake salt, but also an extra three thousand catties..."

"As long as we can eat it, he'll make a deal with us immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Cui's eyes lit up: "You mean, a total of five thousand catties of snowflake salt?!"

"That's right!"

Tan Xing said, "As long as we can show him 25,000 taels of silver, he will take us there immediately!"

"However, he also has a condition: only Manager Tan and I, along with ten more men, can leave the town..."

Manager Cui frowned: "Then the remaining three thousand catties of snowflake salt are outside the town?!"

Tan Xing nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Manager Cui, should we take this job?! If we can, even without obtaining the salt-making method, five thousand catties of this quality snowflake salt is no small amount!"

Hearing Tan Xing's instigation, Steward Cui frowned and paced back and forth in the room, looking very hesitant.

In fact, according to his thinking, if he directly controlled Su Luo now, he could get his hands on both the five thousand catties of snowflake salt and the salt-making method.

But what if the other party is a tough nut to crack and refuses to speak even at the cost of their life?!

So not only did he offend that powerful force in the south, but he also only received two thousand catties of snowflake salt!

That's not worth it!

However, leaving the town would be quite risky!

At this moment, Tan Xing approached Steward Cui and said, "Steward Cui, are you worried about any dangers that might arise once we leave the town?!"

"Then how about... we go to the Marquis and ask him for ten personal guards! Wouldn't that make us safe?!"

"The Marquis's personal guards are all brave and skilled in battle, each capable of taking on a hundred men. Surely there won't be any problems!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Cui's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "This is indeed a good plan!"

Meanwhile, in the private room, Su Luo looked at Zhang Daqiang.

"Daqiang, go out and pass the message to Uncle Hu and the others, and tell them to make some arrangements first."

So, Manager Cui wants to attack me?!

Heh, then don't blame yourself...

Double-crossing? No, I take it all!
