Chapter 2110 This matter must be prevented from ever recurring!
"The Ye family!"
Mu Huanying turned to the second page and looked at Ye Ruyan, whose face was ashen. "In 1943, Ye Guangcai took advantage of the dispersal of the Mu family's old servants and forged a so-called Mu family mortgage document, claiming that the Mu family had mortgaged several shops, including the Chengnan Jinxiu Silk Shop, to the Ye family for a loan that had not been repaid. Based on this forged document, he forcibly occupied the shops, drove out the original employees, and even embezzled and sold off a 100,000-dollar Suzhou and Hangzhou fine silk in the joint warehouse!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone from the ten families of Yanjing changed drastically!
The fact that Mu Huanying managed to uncover such a secret detail is truly terrifying!
At this moment, Ye Ruyan's face was deathly pale.
But Mu Huanying had more than just these clues, and she wasn't finished speaking.
That stunningly beautiful face slightly lifted, looking at Ye Ruyan who dared not meet his gaze, "The down-on-his-luck scholar, Dong, who handled this forged document, died ten years ago in the back alley next to the Ye family's villa..."
"..." Ye Ruyan's expression tightened.
Mu Huanying looked at her coldly and said icily, "You think that by letting him die unexpectedly under the carriage, everything will be over? But little do you know, his widow has a fragment of a letter written by Ye Guangcai back then, which mentions one sentence..."
"!!!"
brush!
All eyes turned to Mu Huanying, and many people subconsciously swallowed nervously.
"This matter must be prevented from ever recurring!"
When Mu Huanying said this, the room fell silent. But what surprised everyone even more was that she turned to another page of her notebook and presented a piece of evidence to the crowd.
"This... is the fragment that was in the hands of the widow of the Dong family back then!"
"what?"
boom!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruyan's vision went black, and she almost fainted.
This was a crucial step in the Ye family's rise to wealth. Back then, her father was just a young man in his twenties or thirties. It was by embezzling part of the Mu family's inheritance that he earned his first pot of gold and began his path to wealth.
However, such a thing, such a family secret, was revealed by Mu Huanying in such detail!
"Damn it! Ye Ruyan, what else do you have to say?!"
Wang Defa slammed his hand on the table in righteous indignation, making the whole table tremble.
Yang Weidong gritted his teeth in anger and said furiously, "What a Ye family! Ye Ruyan, I never thought your father would do such a thing back then, openly engaging in such petty tricks. He only acted so recklessly because the Mu family members were all gone back then and there was no way to verify the facts. It's outrageous!"
Song Ziming, smoking a cigarette, said coldly, "So the Ye family's sudden rise back then was due to the Mu family's help. No wonder they were able to quickly gain a foothold in the pillar industry. In those days, there weren't many wealthy people!"
Ye Ruyan's charming face was now trembling with emotion, and tears were about to slide down her cheeks, but she dared not cry out. She could only bite her lip and remain silent, her hands clenched into fists, hoping that this belated disclosure of her crime would pass as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the other nine families in Yanjing already looked extremely grim.
Mu Huanying has exposed such secrets about the Shangguan and Ye families, so what about the affairs of those families...?
"The Liu family!"
Mu Huanying didn't give them any time to react or figure out a solution. She immediately changed the subject and started talking about the Liu family, which shocked Liu Wenyuan so much that his face turned from green to gray in an instant.
"Madam Mu... Madam Mu..."
Seeing his family's shameful secret about to be exposed, Liu Wenyuan shrank back, seemingly mustering his courage. He let out a sharp cry, steeled himself, and stepped forward, pleading in a weak voice, "Our Liu family... is insignificant, please..."
"What? You, Old Liu, are suddenly not so listless now?"
Du Xingyue, who was standing to the side, knew what he was going to do as soon as he heard the beginning of his words. Before he could finish speaking, he silenced him with a single sentence.
Ji Qingyue also said coldly, "Patriarch Liu, I suggest you obediently wait to the side and listen carefully to Elder Mu's review of what happened back then, his merits and demerits. This will give you some guidance for the Liu family now. What do you say?"
"..."
Liu Wenyuan shuddered and looked up at Du Xingyue. He saw that Du Xingyue's tiger-like eyes were full of sharp tiger-like power, and Ji Qingyue's cold eyes were also scrutinizing and reminding him. Liu Wenyuan couldn't help but tremble a couple of times. He could only cup his hands and stand there with his hands tied, his face ashen.
Meanwhile, Yan Huli, Zong Wangshan, Qian Houjin, and other Chen Wang Lu Han and others began wiping away sweat.
In the dead of winter, during the coldest days of winter, these people's necks were covered in glistening sweat, clearly indicating they were extremely tense.
"Hmph, Liu Wenyuan, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Mu Huanying glanced at him coldly, then looked away, opened her notebook and continued, "Your second uncle, Liu Dafu, colluded with black market merchants to spread rumors that the Mu family's stock of medicinal herbs had become moldy and were of inferior quality, causing the reputation of the Mu family's pharmacy, Mushengtang, to plummet."
Furthermore, they colluded with more than half of the pharmaceutical merchants in the market to refuse to supply the Mu family, causing Mu Shengtang to run out of medicinal materials. Their remaining stock was quickly sold off at less than 20% of its original price, and the buyers were none other than the shell companies controlled by the Liu family!
boom!
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenyuan's eyelids twitched, his throat went dry, and his temples throbbed involuntarily.
He, Liu Wenyuan, is the current head of the Liu family, while Liu Dafu was his second uncle. In fact, the main wealth and power of the Liu family back then did not lie with his branch.
The development of this story was full of twists and turns, making it another epic tale, filled with deep-seated hatred and fierce struggles.
But what truly chilled Liu Wenyuan to the bone was that Mu Huanying actually knew what her second uncle, Liu Dafu, had done back then.
That's terrifying.
Even Liu Dafu, the head of the Liu family, only had a vague understanding of what happened back then.
Seemingly noticing the doubt in Liu Wenyuan's eyes, Mu Huanying raised the notebook in her hand and pulled out a long and short string of documents stuck on it with glue from the fourth page.
"Your second uncle thought he had gotten away with it, but what was the truth? The one-eyed beggar gang leader who helped him spread rumors back then died in a prison in Nanwan five years ago. Before he died, he revealed to his fellow inmates the details of taking money for favors. This document is a copy of his confession!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenyuan's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Mu Huanying even managed to get the testimonies of those who participated back then!
What makes her so powerful... and why is she so incredibly capable?
How on earth did she do it?
As Liu Wenyuan collapsed to the ground without warning, the faces of the other families turned ashen almost instantly. They stood anxiously and impatiently by the wall, looking like stray dogs, as restless as ants on a hot pan.
The atmosphere at the scene visibly began to become tense.
Bang!
Finally, the hot-tempered Zong Wangshan couldn't take it anymore. He ignored his two sons, kicked away the stool in front of him, jumped up, and tried to rush towards the moon gate in the backyard to escape.
"catch him!"
With a wave of his hand, Du Xingyue sent Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the Eight Vajras rushing out like arrows, instantly pinning Zong Wangshan to the ground.
"What? You, Zong Wangshan, know you're doomed?"
Mu Huanying coldly turned to the next page.
