Chapter 225: The Xu Family
Mo Chengqian finally obeyed Li Hongbin's arrangement and returned to the mansion where he lived temporarily, although the Li family is not as good as the Xu family, but it is also a force that is not weak, as Li Hongbin said, for the sake of a righteous son, the Xu family cannot directly do something to the Li family, and it is a big deal to compensate.
It's just that some things are not what they think, when Li Hongbin returned to the Li Mansion and told his father about it, Li Youcai's face became solemn.
"Dad, the eldest brother is standing up for me......" Li Hongbin looked at Li Youcai cautiously, and it was the first time he had seen such a solemn expression on his father's face.
"As the eldest brother, Cheng Qian should come forward, and if the Xu family makes any moves, our Li family will naturally block it. Li Youcai said.
"I knew my father was righteous enough. When Li Hongbin heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"You go and rest, I will send someone to keep an eye on Xu Qiang. Li Youcai waved his hand, showing a hint of exhaustion in his expression.
Li Hongbin opened his mouth, wanting to ask his father if there was anything tricky, but unfortunately Li Youcai had already walked into the back room.
The inner room is not big, a bed, a table, and there are several letters on the table at this time, Li Youcai picked up a letter, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Half a month ago, the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce broke the covenant with us and cut off business contacts. ”
"Ten days ago, Li's Pharmacy was maliciously stirred up, instigated the public, spread rumors, and forced the pharmacy to have a bleak business, with a turnover of less than one-tenth of what it used to be. ”
"...... Eight Days Ago"
“......”
Looking at the letters on the table, Li Youcai's brows furrowed even deeper, he felt as if there was a conspiracy slowly pressing towards the Li family, but after thinking about it, he didn't know why, as for the Liang family, they had a lot of dealings with the Li family before this, and they had no grudges.
If there were no these letters, Li Youcai would have left the Li Mansion just now to make amends to Xu Erye, and it was precisely because of these letters that Li Youcai felt that the Xu family was behind the conspiracy, and it was nothing more than self-deprecation.
"Why, exactly?"
Li Youcai sighed secretly and fell into thought.
............
There is a huge manor in the east of the city, which was originally the ancestral home of the Xu family, and it has been renovated many times to have this magnificent appearance.
However, in the backyard of this manor, the ancestral house of the year is still intact, and only the descendants can enter it on weekdays.
It's just that in the past few days, even the descendants can't enter the ancestral house, which has been under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter unless ordered by the head of the family.
The front yard of the ancestral house used to be the place where the Xu family cultivated the mystical medicine, and now many valuable trees have been transplanted.
Under an ancient wisteria tree, a man in his thirties was sitting cross-legged under the tree, quietly sipping fragrant tea, while Xu Heng, the head of the Xu family, stood respectfully aside, and he was not even qualified to sit in front of this man.
"Master Xu, how is the plan going?"
After a while, the man put down the teacup and looked up at Xu Heng, his appearance was very ordinary, but his eyes were extremely bright, like stars, which added a lot to his whole person.
And there is an aura on his body, close to nature, giving people a strange feeling of merging with all things.
"Senior, the plan went smoothly, and the Li family didn't notice it. Xu Heng said respectfully.
The dignified head of the Xu family, who can make the character of the town beast city shake a few times by stomping his feet, actually calls a young senior, if the rest of the Xu family sees it, he will definitely be shocked.
Although Xu Heng is not a strong man in Tianfu, he is a veteran master in the Nine Realms of Earth Valley, if he is not always unable to enter the state of unity of heaven and man, he is afraid that he will also become a strong man in Tianfu.
Xu Heng looked at the man, and felt a little envious in his heart, after all, he was from a big sect, as long as his talent was enough, it would not be difficult to achieve Tianfu.
It's just that he also has doubts in his heart, for example, why did this man who came here from the hinterland of the Longshan Empire from thousands of miles want to do something to a small Li family?
And it really doesn't make sense to want this kind of silent encroachment until the end of the whole clan is destroyed.
Of course, he didn't dare to ask more, as long as he did his best to do things, and then this town beast city would also be the world of his Xu family.
In fact, when the man came to the door, Xu Heng refused, although the man was a strong man in Tianfu, but the four of them joined forces and some of the means left by the ancestors, and they were not afraid, but when the man reported his family, he dispelled this idea, don't say that it is them, even if it is the power of Tianshi Sect and other forces with strong people in Tianfu, I am afraid that it is nothing in front of the man's power.
The man nodded slightly, and then fell silent, Xu Heng said goodbye when he saw this, and left the ancestral house.
Walking in the manor, Xu Heng was absent-minded, while Xu Qiang hurriedly walked towards the manor with his chest in his arms, and then hit Xu Heng's body so straight.
Xu Heng was hit by this, and suddenly came back to his senses, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat, he was actually in a trance just now so that he didn't even notice Xu Qiang approaching, which is also fortunate that it is Xu Qiang, if it is an enemy
"Ah, oops, it hurts to death, master!"
said that Xu Qiang screamed immediately after hitting Xu Heng, but the scolding words were not said after all, after all, his identity was actually a little embarrassing in the Xu family.
With such a big Xu family, many juniors are worried about each other, and they are also wary of each other, his father-in-law has no children under his knees and also has an industry, so he is naturally also in the minds of these people, and he is also the enemy of these people.
"What's going on?"
Xu Heng frowned, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see that Xu Qiang was injured, and his sternum collapsed, and the injury was not light.
"Head of the House"
When Xu Qiang heard this sound, he suddenly felt a thrill and wanted to stand up, but he struggled a few times but felt pain.
"Who was injured?"
Xu Heng's voice was low, although he didn't want to see Xu Qiang, but in the final analysis, the other party was also his second brother's righteous son, and it also represented the face of the Xu family, and whoever injured Xu Qiang would not give him the face of the Xu family.
Xu Heng was very authoritative in the Xu family, Xu Qiang didn't dare to lie, so he had to say the matter in general, but he omitted the matter of making a provocation first.
"Li Hongbin?" Xu Heng's heart jumped, and he had a bad feeling.
After all, these things that have been done recently have some shadows of the Xu family, although Xu Qiang is an unintentional move, but it may cause the Li family to be alert.
Looking at the suppressed anger in Xu Qiang's eyes, Xu Heng suddenly guessed the other party's thoughts, and said coldly: "You have stayed at home for me these days and don't walk around, let alone go to the Li family for trouble, do you hear?"
"The head of the family" Xu Qiang was a little aggrieved, although he was a righteous son, but with his father-in-law, when did he suffer such grievances, and the head of the family didn't want him to take revenge.
"Do as I say!" Xu Heng's face was pale, and his eyes were cold.
"I know the head of the family!" Xu Qiang nodded hurriedly when he saw this, but he was very unwilling in his heart.
Behind the calm of the Beast City, there is a trace of an unusual atmosphere, which ordinary people naturally can't detect, but the big and small forces in the city know it.
"Door master, the Liang family's blow to the Li family is too fast, I don't think the Li family can last long, should we take the opportunity to make a move and get a piece of the pie?"
"Don't make a fool of yourself, the upstart of the Liang family has the ability to swallow the Li family? ”
"Helper, the Li family is about to fall, are we taking the opportunity?"
"”
Such conversations have occurred among various large and small forces, but those in power have categorically refused, they can take root in the intricate power of the town beast city, naturally have far and far more people's eyes and experience, and naturally will not act rashly.
The three big families of the Cao family, the Su family, and the Yan family know more, and they have determined through clues that the Xu family is secretly helping the Liang family, but they don't know the reason.
Moreover, the matter is out of the east of the city, it is the territory of the Xu family, and in line with the principle that the well water does not violate the river water, the other three families did not pay too much attention to it.
The Li family in the east of the city, everyone had solemn faces, with anger and helplessness in their eyes, the Liang family deceived people too much, and actually attacked their Li family, and they didn't know where to collect a group of masters, and the Li family was caught off guard.
In desperation, the Li family had to close the shops in the city and shrink their strength.
In the main hall of the Li family, Li Youcai's face was pale, he had already affirmed that there must be help from the Xu family behind the Liang family, and this matter was affirmed by Xu Qiang.
The style of the Xu family Li You knows, don't say that it is Xu Qiang, even if a dog is beaten by outsiders, he has to be held responsible, not to mention the second son of Xu Erye?
However, the Xu family did not hold him accountable, and there was no reaction at all, this unusual performance in Li Youcai's opinion was a thief's weak heart, and some of the eyeliner he secretly cultivated before the combination was already undoubtedly the Xu family.
It's just that he asked himself that he had never offended the Xu family, and the only conflict was between Li Hongbin and Xu Qiang, but this was also what happened later, and the Xu family did not have the ability to predict the future, and it was definitely not because of this incident.
"No, I have to go to Xu's house!"
Li Youcai pondered for a while, and finally made a decision, he planned to bow his head, even if it was to pay some price.
Soon, Li Youcai prepared a gift and went to Xu's house, but he was closed and was directly blocked from the door.
Anger, worry, helplessness, and even despair suddenly appeared, a trace of anger flashed in Li Youcai's eyes, and he threw the gift on the ground and said to the Xu family: "Tell the head of the Xu family that the rabbit bites when it is in a hurry, and my Li family is not a rabbit yet!"
Li Youcai left, and his words reached Xu Heng's ears intact, and Xu Heng's face became very ugly.
Li Youcai's threat naturally didn't care about him, if it weren't for that person who had to use gentle means, their Xu family had the ability to uproot the Li family within three days, but from Li Youcai's words, he knew that the other party already knew that the Xu family was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xu Heng brought these words to the ancestral house again, the man frowned, and didn't say anything, but a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.
After that day, the Liang family's suppression of the Li family became more unscrupulous, and the Li family also suffered heavy losses in the process, but this situation was mostly at night and within a limited range, so it did not cause panic in the city.
"Dad, fight with them!"
"Family master, the Liang family is too deceitful, let's kill it!"
"Second brother, let's do it, when did our Li family move here three hundred years ago when was it so provocative, and fight with their Liang family!"
In the main hall of the Li Mansion, several people stayed in it, all with murderous intent on their faces, and Li Youcai looked at everyone expressionlessly, as if he was also making some kind of decision.
"Dad, the Liang family is clearly going to kill us, and if we don't fight back, we will be eaten to death by them!"
The family is about to be destroyed, and Li Hongbin is also much more mature than a few days ago, with a terrifying fierce light on his fat face.
"Hongbin is right, let's make a move, second brother!" Li Hongbin's second uncle said.
Li Youcai looked at the people in the hall, and a trace of murderous intent gradually flashed in his eyes, he was used to being comfortable all these years, and he didn't think about anything desperately, but at this point today, even if he didn't work hard, he couldn't do it.
"You guys go down and rest, and enter the Liang family early tomorrow morning!"
A fierce light flashed in Li Youcai's eyes, the Liang family chose to make things happen late at night, just because they didn't want to make a big deal about it, but his Li family was not afraid, so he chose it in broad daylight, he wanted to see if the Xu family would take the opportunity to make a move.
Everyone in the Li family turned red when they heard this, and they were excited, they were born in a rich family, but they also had a lot of blood, fighting for the family, they were right, even if they died!
At night, Mo Chengqian walked out of the mansion, Li Hongbin didn't look for him these days, which made him a little worried, and also asked the old man guarding the mansion to go out to inquire, what can he inquire about from the mouths of ordinary people?
Finally, Mo Chengqian felt that something was wrong, so he planned to meet Li Hongbin, and the reason why he chose it at night was because he was afraid of causing trouble to the Li family.
However, before he got close to the Li family, Mo Chengqian felt that some people were sneaky, and then he was stopped by someone after walking for a long time, and he was not allowed to approach.
The person who stopped him was a little fierce, and there was a hint of blood on his body, and Mo Chengqian knew that this person must have killed someone within this day.
"Could it be that something happened to the Li family?"
Mo Chengqian's heart sank, but his face was silent, he didn't choose to break through, after all, these people's cultivation is not low, and he has no chance of winning.
It didn't take long for these sneaky people to slowly leave, and several of them had a murderous aura and a strong smell of blood.
When these people left, Mo Chengqian walked quickly towards the Li Mansion, and when he arrived at the door, he smelled blood.
Something happened to the Li family!
Mo Chengqian's face was gloomy, no wonder Li Hongbin didn't come to him these days, it turned out that the Li family had already been killed.
Is it because of Xu Qiang's business?
Mo Chengqian was a little unsure, after all, Li Hongbin's analysis was reasonable, and the Xu family should not be like this for the sake of a person.
knocked on the door, Mo Chengqian waited patiently, but he was greeted with a board axe, but fortunately, Mo Chengqian felt bad and hid quickly, otherwise it would be really dangerous.
"Is that you?"
The one who attacked Mo Chengqian was a man in his thirties, Mo Chengqian had seen the other party once, it was Li Hongbin's cousin, the other party at that time was polite and polite, and he had a bookish atmosphere, but now he has a murderous face and red eyes.
"Brother Li, it's me. Mo Chengqian didn't blame the other party, if he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, the other party would not have been like this.
"You go quickly, don't come to Li's house!" Li Hongbin's cousin frowned, put away the board axe, and turned around to close the door.
Seeing this, Mo Chengqian broke in directly, and the other party was helpless, but after all, he didn't say anything, and directly took Mo Chengqian to find Li Hongbin.
At the same time, there were three people galloping towards the Town Beast City from the direction of the Heavenly Lion Sect.
These three people are an old Taoist priest, a burly man, and an old man with gray hair.
"Third brother, are you accurate?" asked the gray-haired old man as he hurried.
"When I saw him before, his face was still full of red light, and there was no blood light disaster, but yesterday my eyelids jumped, and I found that the people who were connected with me in the town beast city had blood light disasters, and I thought it was only the fourth. Lao Dao frowned.
After the old story was finished, the four of them buried their heads in the road.
