Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 290 The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins

"When I sent people to Yangcheng to secretly investigate opium, I discovered that a jade merchant from Yuncheng was very suspicious. After careful investigation, I asked someone to find out that the jade merchant from Yuncheng was named Ge Longjiang.

The Yuncheng Ge family was a wealthy family specializing in jade. Ge Longjiang, a member of a branch of the family, wasn't particularly well-received by the Ge family. However, he was now doing quite well, frequently traveling between Yangcheng and Yuncheng. Many prominent figures in Yangcheng associated with him.

"I found this strange, so I had someone investigate it carefully. We discovered that Ge Longjiang's jade sales in Yangcheng were a small part of his business, while the opium sales were the majority. He now supplies a lot of the opium business in Yangcheng. A rough estimate is at least 30%," Sheng Yu'an said.

"You mean... the eldest young master's jade business in Yuncheng is actually the opium business? This jade merchant Ge Longjiang is his middleman?" Nan Chun suddenly realized.

"That's right! I sent people to investigate Ge Longjiang. He started selling opium to Yangcheng in large quantities in the past two years. It was about the same time that Young Master Bai moved the kiln factory to Yuncheng. Moreover, Young Master Bai often interacted with him in Yuncheng, and the two of them now have a jade shop together in Yuncheng." Sheng Yu'an said.

"Thirty percent...Young Master's business is quite big." Nan Chun frowned.

"It's not just Yangcheng, there are other places too. The Bai family has so many ways to make money." Sheng Yu'an sighed.

Nan Chun curled her lips and said, "No wonder the young master doesn't care about the business in Yangcheng. He just casually handed it over to a newbie like me to manage."

"How can the profit of a business be compared with this?" Sheng Yu'an raised his eyebrows.

"The eldest young master is so cautious that he doesn't show up himself and finds a middleman to do it. Even if the matter is exposed, he can completely deny it." Nan Chun said worriedly.

Sheng Yu'an said with a smile: "No matter whether it succeeds or not, I can relieve my hatred."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was investigating Ge Longjiang, I unexpectedly discovered that my second brother was very close to Ge Longjiang. The two of them had indeed done jade business before, but their interactions had become too frequent recently. I had someone investigate and discovered that there was something fishy going on at the teahouse on Dafu Road that my second brother often visited.

"The small private rooms hidden on the second floor are for smoking opium. The teahouse is ostensibly run by a Jiangcheng businessman who rented the Sheng family's shop, but the real man behind it is my second brother," said Sheng Yu'an.

"Second Master Sheng is actually also in the opium business..." Nanchun was a little surprised.

"The second son is an insatiable person. I will find an opportunity to expose this matter. The old man can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, so he can just wait to be punished by the family rules!" Sheng Yu'an said with a smile.

Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "Then we can use this as an opportunity to leverage the power of others. You arrange for someone to blow up the story of the second master of the Sheng family doing opium business. When he sees that he can't settle the matter, he will definitely look for a scapegoat.

If they continue to stir up trouble, bring this Ge Longjiang out. Let Old Master Sheng and Master Sheng investigate this Ge Longjiang. Young Master Bai’s enemy will become the Sheng family…”

Having said that, Nan Chun paused and smiled awkwardly: "Forget it, this... Although you and the Sheng family's eldest and second masters are not on good terms, it's not good to damage the Sheng family's reputation."

Sheng Yu'an smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed when you do something dirty. And I've already done this before, using the power of others to make the eldest and second brothers take the blame. I'm afraid that until now, the Bai family still thinks that it was the eldest and second brothers who were their enemies in Xinchuanling."

Seeing Nanchun's confusion, Sheng Yu'an continued, "I asked those people from Xinchuanling to disguise themselves as Sheng Zexi's men. When they clashed with the Bai family, they deliberately exposed their equipment and weapons to make them suspect that those people were Sheng Zexi's men.

I also arranged the exchange of goods, having Cui Dong place the exchanged goods in the second brother's bank safe. The second brother was greedy and clueless. I secretly pushed him to cooperate. This back and forth confirmed that it was the eldest and second brothers who were plotting to take over the Bai family's funerary artifact business and the Xinchuanling Underground Palace.

Nanchun was delighted after hearing this: "I see! No wonder the young master suddenly stopped having people monitor me, and didn't even send anyone to follow me to Jincheng. So it was you who came here to frame me and get yourself out of this?"

"Isn't it good to let them fight each other? When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." Sheng Yu'an said with a smile.

"Okay, we can do the same with the opium issue. After the Xin Chuanling incident, the head of the family and the eldest young master are very resentful of the Sheng family. Let's add fuel to the fire and make them fight. Even if we can't overturn their tables for a while, we have to make them feel uncomfortable." Nanchun said with a smile.

If you were to ask where the busiest place in Yangcheng these days is, it would definitely be the Jinshan Teahouse on Dafu Road.

Yesterday, an old smoker died in the teahouse. People from the police station came and carried the person away and sealed off the Jinshan Teahouse.

This was not a very eye-catching thing, but who would have thought that the teahouse was only closed for half a day and was open for business as usual the next day.

The owner of this teahouse is from Jiangcheng. His surname is Wang and his given name is "Han". He looks to be in his twenties or thirties.

"What's the background of this Boss Wang?"

"That's right. Someone died and the family is still making a fuss. Is that all that matters?"

"I've never heard of this person, but he must have a backer."

Just as everyone was arguing, the old smoker's family, dressed in mourning and carrying a coffin, started making a scene in front of the Jinshan Teahouse.

The old smoker's son burst into tears and said, "Everyone, my father doesn't like cigarettes, he only likes tea. Since last year, he has often come to this Jinshan Teahouse to enjoy tea. Who knew that tea tasting would become a place for smoking... This black shop is harming people under the name of a teahouse!"

"Is this true?"

"Does the teahouse sell opium?"

"I've heard people say before that the people coming in and out of this teahouse are not normal."

Wang Han brought a group of thugs to the door to chase people away.

"Stop talking nonsense here! Someone died here and it affected my business, and I haven't bothered you yet! How dare you come to my store and wail? Get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!" Wang Han shouted with his hands on his hips.

"If someone dies here, you have to pay with your life!"

"There can't be no explanation, right?"

"How did you end up smoking tobacco while drinking tea?"

Wang Han sneered, "You're trying to extort money from wherever you died. If you weren't here, but died walking down the street, you'd blame it on the uneven road and the strong wind."

"Your words are too harsh, aren't they?"

"You are all howling at my door, how can I say anything nice to you? Get out of here now, if you continue to make a scene, you will be in trouble! You can't afford to mess with the people behind me!" Wang Han said with his chin up.

"You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power! This is a shady shop! Give me back my father's life!" said the old smoker's son as he rushed towards him.

Wang Han waved his hand and the thugs rushed forward.

For a moment, Jinshan Teahouse was in chaos.
