"You mean someone sued the Kang family?"

In the hall of the main house, Jiang Qingshan, who had just received the news, was shocked. In Nanjiang, how dare someone sue the Kang family? No, it was not like if someone dare or dare not. Someone even dare offend their Jiang family, let alone the Kang family. What shocked him was that how the Kang family could have let such a big mess happen. But Old Man Kang was not a pushover. Even if the mountain goods got purchased by someone else halfway, they wouldn't have made things like this, would they?

"Yes, my lord. The other side claims to be Zhang Yi from Changzhou. A few months ago, he signed a purchase contract with the Kang family worth millions of taels of silver, agreeing to ship from the end of June to July 30th. However, until now, the Kang family has not shipped the goods and has not actively contacted them. The other side is mad at it and reported it to the yamen."

The steward quickly explained that the other side was now demanding the Kang family to return the deposit of 800000 taels of silver, and also to compensate him ten times the silver according to the contract. Even if it was the Kang family, they couldn't bring out so much. Most importantly, the Chief Secretary only wished to destroy their four major families. Under all kinds of disadvantages, it was undoubtedly more difficult for the Kang family to turn around than to climb the sky.

"It seems that the Kang family has run out of strength. Immediately give the order! Be ready to take over the Kang family's industry and resources at any time. We can't let those things fall into the hands of Highness Sheng and his wife."

After a moment's contemplation, Jiang Qingshan made the decision. The relationships among the four major families were far from as good as others had imagined. The Kang family was going down, they might not twist the knife, but, they would never be foolishly watching others take everything from them. Heaven destroys those who don't look out for themselves. The most important weapon for the Kang family was not their wealth, but their accumulated connections and resources over the years.

"Got it."

The steward backed out taking the order. Jiang Yulin shook his head and said, "The Kang family is really digging their own grave.

Now that Highness Sheng is in Nanjiang, they still tried to swallow a golden doll in one gulp. Now what? They almost got choked to death in order to swallow it."

In the face of a strong enemy, it was necessary to prioritize capital preservation and stability. The Kang family lost due to being too greedy, too confident, and too underestimating Highness Sheng.

"Is it really the Kang family digging their own grave?"

Jiang Yuyang on the other side glanced lazily at him. As long as Ling Jingxuan had only cut off the Kang family's sales of mountain goods a step earlier, now someone sued them taking the contract. Plus, these days, the grocery stores of both sides had been competing heatedly. Seen from any angle, it couldn't be so coincidental, right? Ling Jingxuan...he was a good hand in doing business and good at reading people's mind. Perhaps everything was cleverly arranged by him?

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Yulin frowned and looked at him. Jiang Qingshan's face also darkened. Does he mean that everything is well-arranged by someone else? How could it be possible? Looking back and forth, everything was all linked with one another without any deliberate traces. If someone had really arranged it, then...could that person still be considered a human?
