Chapter 419: The anxious Lu family and the Song family
Just after noon, in the courtyard of the Xia family's house, the council hall!
Patriarch Xia Feilong urgently summoned the elders of the family to the council hall to discuss matters, because Xia Yan had just sent back a letter from Purple Leaf City, the content of the letter was very short, only one sentence, asking Xia Feilong to take Bai Hua and the others to Purple Leaf City immediately to discuss the Xia family's entry into Purple Leaf City. 【】
This matter, for the whole family, is an important surname needless to say.
Even if the Xia family monopolized the business of the entire Jade Water City, then it was only a family in a county town. And if the Xia family arrives in Purple Leaf City, it will be the main city family, and the difference between the two is very big!
"Patriarch, what's wrong?"
"If you're in such a hurry to let us come over, it can't be that something big is happening in the family, right?"
Several elders arrived at the council hall, and the six elders looked at the patriarch Xia Feilong and took the lead in asking.
Recently, the Xia family has held a lot of elders' meetings, some time ago, because of the Xi family, the Xia family often held elders' meetings to discuss countermeasures, and now the general trend has been decided, the Xi family is finished, the development of the Xia family is back on track, and the business is booming. At this time, the patriarch was in a hurry to gather everyone, and everyone was a little strange.
"Xia Yan, I went to Purple Leaf City a few days ago!" Xia Feilong didn't immediately say that it was because of something to gather everyone, but said about Xia Yan.
"This time, Xia Yan went to Purple Leaf City to pave the way for our Xia family to enter Purple Leaf City!" Xia Feilong looked at everyone, there was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were very bright.
"It's very difficult for an outside person to enter Purple Leaf City, although Xia Yan is the hall master of Jade Water City, but Purple Leaf City is the main city, in the temple, Xia Yan may not be able to say anything!" Great Elder Xia Lai raised his eyebrows.
Although Xia Yan had said in front of all the elders at that time that he would pave the way for the Xia family to enter Purple Leaf City, including Xia Feilong, they all felt that this matter could not be completed in a short period of time.
Xia Yan is in the temple, the two temple deacons are not, and the hall master of Yushui City is not the temple deacon, which everyone knows.
Therefore, the people were not in a hurry to prepare for this. In their opinion, it will take a long process.
"Yes, the Great Elder is right. Our Xia family is just a county family, and if we want to be among the main city families, there are many difficulties. There are more than twenty counties in Purple Leaf City, and each county has several families similar to our Xia family. I think all these families want to be in the main city. ”
"But it's not easy!" Xia Feilong inhaled, stood up from his seat, looked around at the people sitting on either side of the long table, and gently pressed his palms on the long purple table.
The council hall was quiet, and everyone could hear Xia Feilong's breathing.
"If our Xia family doesn't have Xia Yan, then I'm afraid that in another ten or a hundred years, we won't be able to rank among the main city families. We all want to be in the main city, but that's just a thought. Xia Feilong continued.
Xia Feilong's eyes suddenly changed, "An hour ago, I received a letter from Purple Leaf City, this letter was written by Xia Yan himself. He asked me to go to Purple Leaf City immediately to discuss the Xia family's entry into Purple Leaf City. Since Xia Yan said so, then he must have set up a line for our Xia family in Purple Leaf City. ”
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
Several elders let out exclamations one after another, discussing with each other incredulously.
"Xia Yan was going to Purple Leaf City a few days ago, how can he make arrangements in such a short period of time?" the second elder shook his head, "Besides, there are four major families in Purple Leaf City, namely the Dong family, the Song family, the Qi family, and the Lu family, these four families are extremely powerful, what way does Xia Yan have to persuade these four families to let the Xia family enter Purple Leaf City?"
"Yes, did Xia Yan think about things simply?" The Seventh Elder's eyes swept to the two elders beside him, and then looked at Xia Feilong, and sighed slightly.
"Patriarch, you might as well go and take a look!" Xia Changhe's breath sank, and his voice sounded clearly in the council hall.
"Hehe, what the Third Elder said is that I plan to go to Purple Leaf City in person this afternoon. ......" Xia Feilong looked at Xia Changhe, "Well, in this case, the three elders will go to Purple Leaf City with me, and I will ask the chief steward, Mr. Bai Hua, to go with us later." ”
"Great Elder, you and the elders will stay in the family to handle affairs!" Xia Feilong looked at Xia Lai again.
"Good!" Charley nodded.
The other elders did not express any other opinions. Even if they didn't believe in their hearts that Xia Yan could pave the way for the Xia family to enter Purple Leaf City in such a short period of time, they would not object to Xia Feilong going to Purple Leaf City to have a look.
"Elders, get ready. Xia Feilong said, "Once I come back from Purple Leaf City, I may have to start moving the Xia family." ”
"Hehe, in fact, I believe that Xia Yan has already pulled the string, otherwise he wouldn't have written this letter to me. Xia Feilong smiled.
Although he couldn't figure out what means Xia Yan used, Xia Feilong believed Xia Yan in his heart.
........................................................................ Inside the courtyard of the Lu family's house!
"What did you say?"
In a spacious room, the patriarch Lu Xiangpo's face changed drastically, and in front of him was an elder in the family, who was in charge of the family outer courtyard, that is, the family's business.
Just now, this elder brought a message to Lu Xiangpo.
"Kaiyuan Commercial Bank, Minghe Shanghe, not only are they unwilling to continue to provide us with goods, but they also collect debts from us?" Lu Xiangpo took a deep breath, slapped the table with his palm, and said loudly.
"Yes, Patriarch, three days ago, they refused to continue to provide our family with all kinds of goods, and they also sent people to collect some of the previous debts, and their attitude was very strong. Elder Lu also said angrily.
"Abominable ......"
"Don't they want to continue doing business with our Lu family? Our Lu family, over the years, has not bought less goods from their firm, and they don't want to make money if they have money?"
"What the hell is going on!" Lu Xiangpo clenched his fists almost with a roar, and the green tendons on his arms bulged high.
A solemn aura filled the room.
"Patriarch, could it be that someone is getting in the way, our opponent wants to use this method to knock down the Lu family!" the elder raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiangpo and lowered his voice.
"Who has such a big influence? No way! In Purple Leaf City, there is no force that can make such a decision from these two trading houses!" Lu Xiangpo shook his head, his eyes flashing with fierceness.
He said it couldn't be, but he was also skeptical in his heart, and he was guessing who it would be.
If it weren't for someone making trouble, the two comptoirs would never have done this.
Obviously, these two firms no longer plan to continue doing business with the Lu family.
In the past ten years, these two firms have been the main source of goods for the Lu family, and the cooperation has been smooth.
"Patriarch!"
At this time, a voice sounded outside.
"Come in. Lu Xiangpo said in a deep voice to the outside.
From outside the door, a child of the Lu family came in, a steward in the outer courtyard, responsible for some business of the Lu family.
"Patriarch, the ...... of the West Sichuan Auction House and the Donglong Auction House" The steward was slightly out of breath, and said very quickly, he said the names of several auction houses in a row, "These auction houses have refused to continue to cooperate with our Lu family." ”
"I went to ask them the reason myself, and they didn't even give any explanation, and they were arrogant!" said the deacon with some resentment.
"Not only that, but recently several goods transported by our Lu family to the county town below were also robbed by robbers. These robbers are now getting more and more bold, and they even dare to attack the goods of our Lu family. ”
"It's a conspiracy!" Lu Xiangpo interrupted him without waiting for the steward to finish speaking.
"Understood!" Lu Xiangpo exhaled, "This is obviously aimed at our Song family." It's just that I don't know what kind of force it is, and it has so much energy. The Dong family, the Qi family, and the Song family can't do it like this!"
Lu Xiangpo quickly analyzed in his mind, but he never found a suitable object of suspicion. The targets were eliminated one by one, and he found that in the end, he didn't find the target he wanted.
"Patriarch, what should our Lu family do now?" The elder was also a little anxious, it had been a long time, and the Lu family had not encountered such a situation. Some time ago, there was some friction with the Su family in Purple Leaf City, but compared to the current situation, it can only be regarded as a small matter.
If this matter is not dealt with immediately, the impact on the Lu family will be very huge!
"Gather the elders and discuss the matter!" Lu Xiangpo gritted his teeth.
"Yes!"
At the same time, the situation in the Song family was similar, the patriarch of the Song family gave gifts and several elders of the Song family were also angrily discussing what had happened, and some forces that had been cooperating for a long time suddenly and inexplicably interrupted their cooperation.
Moreover, many forces also recovered the debts owed by the Song family from the Song family.
When the Song family and the Lu family encountered difficulties one after another, the Qi family and the Dong family did not show too obvious performance, and they were still as calm as usual. But the calmer the surface, the more turbulent the waves hidden beneath the calm.
Through a line formed by Xia Yanlian, they were all waiting for an optimal opportunity, and then suddenly dispatched and hit the enemy hard with one blow. When this time comes, they need to wait for Xia Yan's notice.
"Hehe, I've finally arrived in Purple Leaf City. ”
A voice came from a black carriage that slowly drove into Purple Leaf City.
There were eight people sitting in the spacious carriage of the carriage at this time. Xia Feilong, the patriarch of the Xia family, Xia Changhe, the three elders, Bai Hua, and Xia Liu, the child of the Xia family who had just stepped into the innate realm, and the four guards of the Xia family with good skills.
"When we arrived, Xia Yan asked us to go to the temple to find him after we arrived in Purple Leaf City. Xia Feilong sat in the carriage, "Coachman, go to the temple in Purple Leaf City." ”
"Is Xia Yan living in the temple? Isn't this a right that only the hall master has?" Xia Changhe raised his eyebrows and said in a puzzled tone.
"I don't know, but since Xia Yan asked us to go to the temple in Purple Leaf City to find him, we will definitely be able to find him there, let's talk about it when we get there. Xia Feilong's eyes flashed, shook his head and said with a smile.
