Chapter 164: Clueless
As soon as the elder of the Ye family said that, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became subtle.
Tong Jing and Tie were blushing, staring straight at the elder of the big clan without speaking.
The other heads of the family sitting below him looked at each other, and finally looked at Tong Jinghe. The matter of the Ye family's vein has nothing to do with them, and they came here today just because of Tong Jinghe's instructions to come to the town.
Even so, the eyes of several family heads still leaked a hint of watching a good show.
Although it is very light, it does not escape the eyesight of the leaves. When she thought about it, she could understand the minds of these people. It is said that the Tong family is accustomed to bullying small families, and in addition to the small families that oppose the Tong family, even those small families who are attached to him have not let go.
It stands to reason that the Tong family in Sifang City is not a monopoly, so he shouldn't be so arrogant and domineering. But helplessly, the Tong family has the City Lord's Mansion as a backer behind them, and even if those small families are tough at first, they can't withstand the pressure of the City Lord's Mansion, so they can only obediently comply.
Qi Xiao, who was sitting directly above, did not change on his face, but his eyes flickered slightly, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still did not make a sound.
Ye Tao and the other clan elders looked slightly excited and nervous, and their eyes all fell on Tong Jinghe. The biggest purpose of their trip is to get back the 10% of the ore veins that were compensated at the beginning.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Zi's lips hooked slightly, and he met Tong Jinghe's displeased look head-on, and said, "The head of the Tong family doesn't speak, is this a tacit acquiescence?" ”
She looked sideways at Ye Tao, "The head of the Tong family has acquiesced, tomorrow we will send someone to get back the account book, as well as ......"
"Wait!" Seeing that Ye Zi was about to implement the matter, Tong Jinghe didn't want to deal with it anymore, so he had to speak.
Ye Zi turned around with a smile or not, "The head of the Tong family still has something to say?" ”
Tong Jinghe glanced at everyone in the Ye family coldly, "You keep saying that this hundred fruits were not stolen by the Ye family, what about the evidence?" ”
Is this going to be a cheat? Ye Zi felt funny in his heart.
"Then the head of the Tong family kept saying that the Ye family stole a hundred fruits, what is the evidence?" Ye Zi Dao.
"At the beginning. The City Lord of Qi went to the Ye family with me and searched for things on the spot! Could it be that in less than two years, you have forgotten? Tong Jinghe asked angrily.
Ye Zi sneered. "Catch a thief and get dirty! On the premise of no witness testimony and conclusive circumstantial evidence, the head of the Tong family determined that the Ye family was suspected of stealing with just a bag of fruits, isn't it unwarranted? Even, he opened the lion's mouth to ask for a 10% of the vein rights. Now that I think about it, it's really doubtful. Whether the head of the Tong family is a drunkard or not is not meant to drink! Or, it's just a framing! ”
As Ye Zi's words fell, Tong Jinghe's face became darker and darker, until he couldn't suppress his monstrous anger and slapped the table.
"Full of nonsense!" He stared at Ye Zi as if he was about to kill, "What is the status of the Tong family?" What is the identity of your Ye family? My Tong family needs to use this kind of indiscriminate means to frame a dilapidated little family? What a joke! ”
In the face of Tong Jinghe's anger and denigration, Ye Zi greeted him fearlessly: "Yes, on power, status and family background. The Ye family is indeed not as good as your Tong family now. But where did these things come from your Tong family? The head of the Tong family knows it. Putting this aside, the Ye family currently has one thing that your Tong family doesn't have, and that is iron ore. As far as I know. The Tong family's original two iron mines were still being mined on the surface, but they were actually depleted three years ago, right? Otherwise, why is the price of iron ore in the Sifang City so high? It's not because the Tong family has been collecting money in private! ”
As soon as Ye Zi's words fell, the entire hall suddenly resounded with a burst of gasp.
Everyone was shocked by the news that the Tongjia iron mine had dried up three years ago, combined with the fact that the iron ore price in Sifang City had risen year by year, but the iron ore was still getting less and less.
Tong Kunhe's face couldn't be darker anymore, and he pointed his finger at the leaves. said angrily: "You don't talk alarmist there, and plant the high price of iron ore on the head of the Tong family." As everyone knows, the medium-sized iron ore mine of the Wang family has been depleted, which has caused the price of iron ore to skyrocket. What does it have to do with the Tong family? ”
Hearing Tong Jinghe's last words pointing directly at the Wang family, Wang Kuncheng, who had been sitting silently, looked at the other party calmly, "The head of the Tong family is wrong with this. The Wang family's veins have indeed dried up, but the Tong family's veins are not necessarily much better than the Wang family. Even, at the beginning, in order to cover up the fact that they only had two ore veins, the Tong family spread the news of my Wang family's ore veins everywhere. caused turmoil in Sifang City, but your Tong family secretly used means behind the scenes to put most of the iron ore rough in the city into the inventory in advance, resulting in an unreasonable rise in the price of iron ore, and you slowly released iron ore to make huge profits! ”
"Ah......h
Listening to Wang Kuncheng's accusation, everyone in the hall was amazed, and their doubtful and resentful eyes shot at Tong Jinghe, including the heads of the family who were attached to him.
It is not easy for a small family to survive, and they can't even afford to distribute resources in normal times. Later, the price of iron ore skyrocketed, and many of the family's disciples could not even afford to use magic weapons, and some had to use wooden swords and daggers instead.
How difficult is it for a poor small family of cultivators to cultivate a disciple who can be seen a little? Especially for the disciples who went out to practice, the wooden swords and wooden daggers could not penetrate the thick and hard fur of the demon beasts at all, and many disciples were seriously injured and even lost their lives.
Thinking that these are all ghosts made by the Tong family for personal gain, how can these family owners not be angry?
Facing everyone's angry eyes and eyes, Tong Jinghe defended with some panic: "Don't listen to the provocation of the dead girl of the Ye family, the matter of the iron mine has nothing to do with the Tong family, if you don't believe it, you can ask the city lord!" ”
The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Qi Xiao one after another, his face froze, and he secretly cursed Tong Jing and the fool in his heart, and his brain spun at high speed.
The matter of iron ore can be big or small, but as the lord of the city, he must not be involved in this matter.
The last time there was a fight in Sifang City, which ruined the affairs of Dongcheng District, Tianjimen had already sent someone to severely reprimand him and asked him to repair the broken city protection array within two years.
Now that the two-year period is coming soon, the money for repairing the city protection array has not been closed at all, and he is counting on Tong Jinghe to get two more sums from the Ye family's veins to help him fill the hole!
Of course, he also knew about Tong Jinghe and the price of high-speed rail mines, and he took a lot of benefits from it.
If Tianjimen knew at this time that he had collaborated with Tong Jinghe to do such an unfair thing that hindered the development and survival of other families, then his position as the city lord would definitely not be kept!
No, this matter must be properly resolved, and the Ye family must not be allowed to make a big fuss.
In a moment, Qi Xiao had already thought about the whole thing clearly. He met everyone's puzzled and inquiring eyes, and laughed loudly: "Isn't it a matter of solving the hundred fruits today?" How can it be related to the price of iron ore again? ”
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Ye Zi heard his words, and reacted instantly, it seemed that the other party wanted to suppress the matter. If you want to suppress this matter, it is necessary to solve the matter of Baiguo, so it is okay to get back the mining rights of the veins first.
As for the iron ore matter, there will be an opportunity to expose the true face of the Tong family in the future.
So, Ye Zi didn't say anything, just stared at Qi Xiao for a moment. (To be continued.) )
