"Is it so serious?" Master Sima's expression also became serious.

Yipinju is the money bag of the Sima family, and it is the basis for maintaining the operation of the huge machine of the Sima family. If there is a problem with Yipinju's capital chain, it will not only affect the dead soldiers who are responsible for Sima Shi.

However, Master Sima also felt that Bai Lingjun was a bit alarmist. Yipinju's business scope was wide, covering many fields, including jewelry and jades, gold and silver jewelry, Sichuan cotton silks and satins, precious spices, etc. It would be impossible to sell a five-stone package alone.

Well, more than just closing down shop?

But Master Sima also knows the importance of Wushi Powder to Yipinju. Indeed, as Bai Lingjun said, it maintains half of Yipinju. If Wushi Powder fails to sell well, it will have a huge impact on Yipinju.

At least in the area he is responsible for, if enough funds are not available, not only will it be impossible to expand the team of dead soldiers, but even normal maintenance training may be unsustainable.

This dead soldier is the foundation of the Sima family's survival. Now that the Sima family's power has been crazily suppressed by Cao Shuang, the power in Sima Yi's hands has shrunk again and again. If the Sima family wants to make a comeback, the only way the Sima family can rely on this group of dead soldiers is

Since the army of soldiers has been established, Sima Shi will naturally not allow any mistakes to occur.

Bai Lingjun's expression no longer looked frivolous and said: "It may be much more serious than you think."

Master Sima said with some doubt: "How is it possible that Yipinju has been operating in Luoyang for many years and has a big tree with deep roots? Cao Liang has just set foot in Wushisan, and yet he can shake Yipinju's status?"

Bai Lingjun said helplessly: "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but unfortunately, this is the fact. Cao Liang took away about 70% of our business in just one month, and it is very likely that he will

In the next few months, if all our business is robbed, the five-stone powder we prepare will probably not be sold for even one tael."

Although Master Sima had also heard about the booming sales of Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder, he was not convinced by that thing after all and did not know much about it. It stands to reason that no matter how popular Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder is, it cannot hold up to Yipinju. It is a time-honored brand.

In less than a month, all these regular customers have defected?

"Why is this? Is it possible that his Five Stone Powder is much better than ours?"

"It's indeed better. Cao Liang himself improved the formula of Taoist Ziyun, and the effect of the prepared Wushi Powder is better than that of our Yipinju. But that's not the point. The point is that Cao Liang adopted an incredible sales method.

, does not open a store in Luoyang City, but relies on the method of person-to-person transmission. Anyone can only sell the five-stone powder and get a 50% return, so those who buy the five-stone powder also sell it like crazy, so Xiaoyao

Only with five stone powder can we sell it at a great price."

"Then can't we follow suit?"

Bai Lingjun shook his head gently and said: "This method is to catch all the fish. Cao Liang has already occupied the market first. If we follow suit, not only will we not be able to eat the bones, we will not even be able to drink the soup."

"Then according to my aunt's opinion, how should we respond?"

A look of violence flashed across Bai Lingjun's face, and she said: "It's very simple, either take the formula of Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder from him, or let him die!"

Master Sima frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Since the formula is so important, Cao Liang must regard it as a treasure, and others must have no way of knowing it. If you want to get the formula, unless he tells it personally, it is impossible to do it, so why kill him?"

"

Bai Lingjun raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, will Ziyuan, who can even be cruel to his own wife, care about the life and death of an outsider?"

Master Sima's face changed slightly when he heard Bai Lingjun mention Xia Houhui, but he did not have an attack this time. He just said: "Killing him is nothing more than a chicken or a dog. It's just that my father has repeatedly warned that all members of the royal family

, must not move lightly, so as not to disturb the enemy and hinder our Sima family's grand plan."

In this era when human life is at stake, killing someone is sometimes as simple as eating and drinking water, but the question is who to kill. Killing an ordinary citizen with no job or power is indeed like killing a chicken and a dog, but the person you want to touch is

Royal family members are another consideration.

Although Cao Liang's official rank is not high, his status as a clan member still makes Master Sima a little afraid. After all, it is not the time for his Sima family to do whatever they want.

Bai Lingjun said quietly: "I originally thought that Ziyuan was a person who understood the general situation and the importance. Unexpectedly, he was just like your father. He was more cautious than courageous. He only knew how to tolerate and retreat. The more you endure the humiliation and bear the burden, the more likely your opponent will be.

Then they will become more and more wanton and rampant, and if they continue like this for a long time without thinking about counterattack, they are afraid that the Sima family will retreat again and again, and in the end there will be no way out."

Master Sima's expression was gloomy and he said in a deep voice: "There is no need to provoke me, my aunt. In my eyes, Cao Liang is already a dead man. It will only be a matter of time before I take his life."

"Is it too late or early? When can I take action? I can't wait until Cao Liang is 80 years old before I wait for you to take action, right?"

Master Sima snorted softly and said: "Of course it won't take that long. Now we only need an opportunity. As soon as the opportunity comes, I will take his life!"

"It's just an opportunity. I can create it for you. What I need you to do is to kill with one strike without leaving any consequences. I wonder if you can do it?"

Master Sima showed a hint of displeasure and said: "You underestimate the people under my command. As long as they take action, even ten Cao Liang will not survive. But if we take action now, wouldn't it be too much?"

It's too obvious. If Cao Shuang finds out that it was our Sima family who did it, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble."

Bai Lingjun said: "Now the situation is urgent. If Cao Liang cannot be eliminated and is allowed to develop, whether Yipinju can still exist next year is a question. What's more, do you want a wife who is about to marry you?

Is a man with an affair still alive in this world, and let him watch your jokes on your wedding day? Even if getting rid of Cao Liang will bring some trouble, it is better than keeping such a troublesome child. What's more, there will be no evidence to prove it.

, as long as you do it cleanly, I don’t believe it will be found on you.”

Master Sima hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this person cannot stay in this world. I wonder if my aunt has any good strategies to deal with him?"

Bai Lingjun finally showed a smile on his face, looked around, then walked up to Master Sima and whispered a few words into his ear.
