He was speechless.
No one had expected that the second-generation heir who usually only knew how to indulge in debauchery would actually say such terrifying words.
Everyone could tell that this junior of their clan was not joking.
The killing intent in his words was real.
Jiang Tianwen coughed twice and looked at Jiang Haifeng with anger.""Brat, how can you talk to your elders like that?”
"That's right. How dare a junior threaten an elder like this? Are there any rules?”
"Nephew, you…"
When they heard Jiang Tianwen's words, they immediately agreed.
But before they could finish, Jiang Tianwen stood up from his chair and smiled."Just do as Feng 'er says. From today onwards, no one in the clan is allowed to leave the mansion without permission. All businesses and ports of the clan will be shut down.”
"If anyone makes trouble at this moment, I swear as the current patriarch of the Jiang family that I will leave a coffin for him at the mouth of the Huangpu River.”
In an instant, the few people who had just opened their mouths to agree were instantly dumbfounded.
He didn't know whether to open his mouth or close it.
Glancing at his son, Jiang Tianwen waved his hand and said,""Alright, let's call it a day for today's meeting. Everyone, go make your own arrangements. As for Third Brother, before we find out the source of your money, you should stay in your own courtyard. Whether you're innocent or not will only be a matter of a few days.”
Everyone was silent out of fear.
Some of the elders wanted to ask something.
However, when he saw Jiang Tianwen's indifferent and cold face, he did not even have the courage to ask.
Anyone could sense it.
The Jiang family seemed to be in a state of upheaval.
Jiang Haifeng, who everyone thought could not take on the heavy responsibility, seemed to have become the pillar of support overnight.
It was hard to accept.
Jiang Hai Feng looked at his third uncle, who was leaving with resentment in his eyes, and sneered.
Hate him?
Then don't blame me for killing you.
No one would really be ruthless when it came to killing each other unless it was absolutely necessary. However, since his third uncle had other intentions, he could not blame anyone else.
"Father, about Third Uncle."
After everyone left, Jiang Hai Feng closed the door again and asked the servants to stand ten meters away from the door to prevent eavesdropping.
Jiang Tianwen raised his eyebrows and returned to his seat."Don't worry. I still have some authority in the Jiang family. If your third uncle really dares to disobey at this time, he won't be able to survive. As the head of the entire Jiang family, I won't let a rat's excrement spoil a pot of porridge.”
Jiang Hai Feng fell silent.
He suddenly felt that his father was more ruthless than he had imagined.
He was originally worried that his father would not dare to act rashly because he was worried that his third branch was involved with those warlords and foreigners.
But now, it seemed that he had been overthinking.
"Tell me your true intentions. After all, the family business has stopped operating. You can't not have a reasonable explanation.”
Jiang Haifeng found a random seat and sat down. He looked at Jiang Tianwen with a smile and narrowed eyes."Father, aren't you afraid that I'm just doing this randomly by agreeing to it first and then listening to your explanation?”
Jiang Hai Feng smiled meaningfully.
"If that's the case, I won't show mercy even if you're my son.”
Jiang Haifeng smacked his lips and shrugged.
Alright, he was cut out to be the head of a family.
"Not only our Jiang family, I've already asked Miss Zhao Yumin to inform Uncle Zhao about the Zhao family's side. They've asked their shops to stop working at the same time as our Jiang family's sea transportation. As for the goal, it was to make Songhu City chaotic first.”
Chaos?
Jiang Tianwen frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Hai Feng narrowed his eyes.”
Once the Zhao family's business and the Jiang family's shipping were suspended, it would affect the people's livelihood.
Food, clothing, the prices of these goods would fluctuate in just a few hours.
For the empires that had established concessions in Songhu, they were not interested in the rise and fall of any family in Songhu, but they were the last to see chaos in their concessions.
Once chaos broke out, it would break the original order and give the other empires an excuse to interfere in their own concessions.
Jiang Haifeng could imagine that if the French concession governor and Lu Yongxiang wanted to replace the businesses controlled by the Jiang and Zhao families with their own people, they would definitely want to slowly devour the two businesses like boiling frogs in warm water.
Therefore, if he wanted to seek a chance of survival, he naturally had to go against their wishes.
With the chaos in Songhu, all the empires would work together to investigate the source.
In this way, Moryton, the French governor, would definitely be in a terrible position.
"Not only France, but the other empires will definitely pay a visit to ask about the situation.”
Other than the few concessions, Songhu County was considered to be the territory of the Yan Huang people.
However, it was precisely because of this that everyone wanted to have a foot in Songhu County.
The largest force in Songhu County was supported by the French, and behind the Heaven and Earth Society was the Eagle.
Other than these two largest forces, the Guizi Empire, the United States, and the German Empire had been trying to expand their influence in Songhu County.
The Zhao Family had the support of the US and the Japanese Empire.
And at home
Looking at Jiang Tianwen, Jiang Haifeng took a deep breath.
Due to the special nature of the firearms business, the Jiang family had never taken the initiative to show goodwill to those empires over the years.
The advantage was that this way, each family's business could be connected to some extent.
The disadvantage was that once something happened, no empire would step forward to help.
"You mean you want your father to betray the country for glory? How impudent! I can do business with them, but it's impossible for me to flatter those foreigners!”
Jiang Tianwen's gaze turned cold, and his expression instantly turned cold.
"Flattery?" Jiang Hai Feng shook his head. Father, aren't you looking down on your son too much? I want to take advantage of the Jiang family's crisis to fish in troubled waters.”
If he wanted to fish in troubled waters, he had to be the first to completely mix the water.
Jiang Haifeng stood up and looked at Jiang Tianwen. He took a deep breath and said,""Father, just one sentence. You just have to believe me. Now, I need us to cooperate. The spies in the family had to be eliminated, and they had to be killed if they were found. The best way was to make them disappear completely without a trace.”
Today's clan meeting was the bait he threw out.
Those who had intentions would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
If he moved at this time, he would be easily discovered.
"Are you trying to make an example out of me?"
Jiang Tianwen frowned.
Jiang Haifeng nodded." There are too many parasites in the family. If we don't clean up, this family will collapse sooner or later."”
No matter how hard the wood was, it couldn't withstand the gnawing of moths every day.
Jiang Tianwen was silent for a moment. But what are you going to do?"
Jiang Hai Feng shook his head and smiled."I can't say it now. It's small that the walls have ears, but it's big that they're being intercepted. By the way, Dad, I remember that many workers at our dock rely on our Jiang family for a living, right? Can these people be trusted?"
Jiang Tianwen was stunned for a moment and nodded curiously.""They are trustworthy. Many of them have been working with our Jiang family since the previous generation. But why are you asking this?”
"The shipping business has stopped, so we have to find something for them to do." Jiang Haifeng laughed.”
He wanted to find people, a group of loyal and trustworthy people who could be used by him.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching C-rank!”
" Reward for increasing score: Type 88 rifle x 10 boxes, 7.92mm bullets x 10 boxes.”
Jiang Hai Feng was shocked.
There's actually a reward for increasing the score?
It was a bloody profit!
Type 88 rifle, commonly known as Hanyang made.
Although it was not a good gun, for the current Yan Huang people, as long as they touched a gun, it was definitely the easiest gun to use.
One hundred and twenty spears was neither too many nor too few.
However, it was enough for him to use now.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hai Feng smiled to himself.
"A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. Since you're here, I'll be sorry if I don't give you a big gift.”
