Dear Lingshi

"Yes! I will definitely complete the task assigned by the Pavilion Master."

"Go!"

After Hou Xuetong left, Bai Yushu asked curiously, "What secret plan do you have? Are you going to hide it from me?"

"Haha, of course it's a secret." After Lu Yunsheng finished speaking, he handed the piece of paper with the information of the four major families to Bai Yushu.

"If it were you, how would you deal with the relentless pressure from the four families?" Lu Yunsheng asked again.

Bai Yushu looked at the note and said slowly, "The combined assets of these four families exceed eight million low-grade spirit stones, and their family heads are all in the perfect foundation-building stage. In addition, they also support many guests in the foundation-building stage. No matter from which aspect, our Duobao Pavilion has no room for resistance."

Hearing Bai Yushu's words, Lu Yunsheng laughed and said, "That's wrong. In half a month at the fastest and a month at the slowest, the situation will be completely reversed."

Bai Yushu thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're not going to ask the city lord to back you up, are you? Although he gave you two plaques, he may not agree to help you deal with the four major families."

"Haha, you think I'm too incompetent. I don't need to look for anyone. I can only rely on the strength of our Duobao Pavilion. Just wait and see."

After saying this, Lu Yunsheng took out the sound transmission stone again.

"Fang You, from now on, the price of tea purchased by all shops in Duobao Pavilion will always be 10 spirit stones higher than the purchase price of other merchants."

"Yes, Master!" Fang You responded.

In the evening, the heads of the four major families gathered together again.

The head of the Bai family smiled and said to the other three people, "That guy surnamed Lu also wants to get involved in the spiritual tea business. He is really wishful thinking. After what happened today, who would still go to him to sell tea?"

"I heard that this guy can't wait to raise the purchase price. It's a pity that his reputation has been ruined and no one is going there." The head of the Jiang family said with a smile.

"Haha, your method is really brilliant, brother Jiang." The other three praised with a smile.

"Just wait, Lu Yunsheng won't be around for many more days."

Three more days passed, and one day a special caravan arrived at the north gate of Tieshan City. These people had red faces and wore large fur coats. They were obviously monks brought from cold places.

There were not many people in this caravan, only about ten people and two carriages. After the caravan entered the city and made a big circle, it camped directly in front of the largest shop of the Wang family. Before long, this caravan attracted many monks to come and trade.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, a female monk who seemed to have some status in the caravan said to the caravan members, "Everyone, take good care of the guests from Tieshan City and try to sell more goods so that we can buy more spiritual tea to take back. This year, our Northern Territory suffered from a beast disaster and a cold wave. We have no spiritual tea to harvest this year. As long as we transport the spiritual tea from the Southern Territory back, we can make a fortune."

Hearing this, a fierce middle-aged man nearby shouted, "Shut up, Ling Xuelian, you bitch, just say whatever you want. Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart."

"Huo Shan, you still dare to scold me. If my father hadn't given you a thousand spirit stones to start your business, you wouldn't be where you are today. You are such an ungrateful guy."

The two of them started arguing with each other.

Among the crowd of people buying goods, one person's eyes lit up after hearing the words of the female monk. He quietly withdrew from the crowd and returned to the Wang family's shop.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper heard the voice and asked with a smile: "Abao, what rare things are there in the caravan?"

This A Bao was the waiter of the Wang family shop. He was attracted by the caravan that suddenly appeared at the door and wanted to see the excitement, but he accidentally heard the words of the female monk in the caravan.

Although Abao's strength is not that great, he is quite smart, otherwise he wouldn't be working in the Wang family's largest store.

After hearing the nun's words, he immediately felt that the information contained in these words was of great significance, so he quietly withdrew from the crowd.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't pay attention to the new stuff, but I did hear a word."

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Abao told him everything he heard word for word.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face immediately turned serious and he said to him, "Don't tell this to anyone else."

After saying this, the shopkeeper immediately turned around and walked into a small room, took out the voice stone, and sent out the news that Abao had heard.

At this time, the patriarch of the Wang family was leisurely drinking the second-level spiritual tea in a luxurious attic, with two maids standing behind him massaging his shoulders, looking so cool.

Suddenly he took out the voice stone and put it to his ear. After listening to the message in it, his face changed and he stood up. With a wave of his hand, the two maids tactfully left the attic.

After thinking for a moment, the head of the Wang family sent three messages directly to the voice stone.

Not long after, three people came into the attic one after another. These three people were the heads of the other three families.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing here in such a hurry that you call the three of us here today?" asked the Patriarch of the Bai family.

"It's like this. Just now, someone below sent me a message saying that the spiritual tea in the Northern Territory has suffered a disaster this year, and not a single leaf has been harvested."

"Oh? Is this news reliable?" The head of the Jiang family was stunned and asked impatiently.

"It's highly credible. This news was accidentally heard by a waiter downstairs from a caravan from the Northern Territory. That caravan was stationed right in front of my store..." The head of the Wang family told all the news about his coming.

Hearing the affirmative tone of the Wang family's patriarch, these people fell silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Suddenly, the head of the Zhang family said, "In a dozen or twenty days, the caravans will come to our Tieshan City to buy tea. Now we don't have time to go to the Northern Territory to confirm the truth of the news. Why don't we try to sell them some at a high price? If they accept all of it, then the news must be true."

"Okay, let's do it!" Several family heads responded at the same time.

At this moment, in Huoluo Street, Duobao Pavilion.

Lu Yunsheng was still practicing swordsmanship in the backyard when suddenly the sound transmission stone vibrated.

Lu Yunsheng picked it up and heard Hou Xuetong's voice from inside: "Master, the caravan has accidentally leaked the news."

"Okay! Now let Chixue's brothers spread this news secretly and make sure everyone in the city knows about it. Also, in three hours, let the brothers in the caravan start buying spiritual tea." Lu Yunsheng said to the sound transmission stone.

After saying this, Lu Yunsheng continued to send out a message: "Fang You, notify all shops in one hour to increase the price of spiritual tea by another 10%."

"Yes! Pavilion Master!"

"Yes! Pavilion Master!"

Hou Xuetong and Fang You sent messages back at the same time.

An hour later, the heads of the four major families met again in the Wang family's attic.
