Chapter 80: The Oriental Family
The new city order of Ten Mile City was implemented as usual, and it was natural that the merchants who violated the rules would resist during the period, but at this time, the role of the guard force was reflected.
During the jurisdiction of Shili Chunfeng, the tax control of Shili City is very loose, and the merchants come to the city lord's mansion to pay taxes every month, and the city lord's mansion basically does not ask, how much the merchants themselves pay, and therefore, basically all shops have the problem of tax evasion, the reason is that the expenses of the city lord's mansion at that time were very low, and the ten miles of spring breeze himself is also very satisfied with the status quo.
However, Wen Kaiyuan's order to the guard was that ordinary merchants, as long as they made up the tax money, they would continue to operate, and if the shops belonged to the Dongfang family, or had a direct business relationship with the Dongfang family, they would all be seized and recycled.
On September 15, in just three days, Wen Kaiyuan sealed all the shops on the surface of the Dongfang family, although during this period, the Dongfang family tried to resist, but only the manpower of the shops could not resist the guards supported by the city guards.
At this time, in the Dongfang Family Mansion, people with heads and faces in the clan gathered together, including Dongfang Xiang, the current patriarch of the Dongfang Family, Lin Xin, the eldest elder, Budapest, the second elder, Li Chenguang, the third elder, Dongfang Lan, the chief manager, and the alternate heir of the Dongfang family, Ji Changxing was also among them.
The three elders of the Dongfang Family were all recruiters, and they were all Qi cultivation level cultivators. In the Dongfang family, there are not many people who have been recruited to occupy high positions, such as the eldest son Sha who followed Ji Changxing to crusade against the Liangshan bandits.
As for why, the eldest son Sha is not an elder while he is also a Qi cultivation level cultivator, there is naturally a reason for this, if the three elders belong to permanent contract workers, the eldest son Sha can only be regarded as a short-term contract worker.
Although such people have the right to do business, they must obey the orders of the head of the household, and they have no chance of becoming the head of the household.
However, Ji Changxing is different, he belongs to the family, he can be the head of the family, provided that the patriarch designates him as the successor, of course, his name can only be Dongfang Changxing at that time, not Ji Changxing.
"This Wen Kaiyuan is really too deceitful, he has only been in Shili City for a long time, and he really regards Shili City as his home." The third elder, Li Chenguang, was furious.
It's no wonder that the shops in the city are basically in charge of the third elder Li Chenguang, and now that something has happened, he is naturally the one with the most anger.
"According to me, I should have done him directly, and I wouldn't have come to this situation." The second elder gestured viciously.
"I did it, but I didn't succeed, and I was caught by others." Dongfang Shu, one of the alternate heirs, faced Ji Changxing with a strange yin and yang qi, and the meaning of the accusation was very obvious.
"Big brother, the second elder doesn't mean to assassinate, but to strangle that surnamed Wen before he grows up, besides, you also agree to the assassination, big brother, Ji Changxing's miss is completely unexpected." Alternate Oriental Star Dao.
"That's right, I said at the beginning, this Wen Kaiyuan must be eliminated as soon as possible." The Second Elder nodded in agreement.
"If I send someone to assassinate me, I won't miss it." Dongfang retorted.
"Come on! Eldest brother! In hindsight, who wouldn't do it! The most important thing now is to discuss how to deal with him next, after all, the current city government army has nearly a thousand people, and our Dongfang family can't please it if it really fights. Dongfang Xing talked eloquently.
"Dongfang Xing, do you have to do it against me!" Dongfang gargled his younger brother unhappily.
"Big brother, you are my big brother, how dare I be presumptuous!" Dongfang Xingkou pretended to be afraid.
"Eastern Star!" Oriental gargle gnashing teeth.
"Enough, the head of the house is here! What a system you two are still arguing about! The chief steward, Dongfang Lan, angrily scolded the brothers.
Dongfang Shu and Dongfang Xing looked at each other, closed their mouths indignantly, but glared at each other unyieldingly.
"It's okay! It's okay! Cough! Ahem, ahem! Young people are young and vigorous, and that's how they should be...... cough cough cough ......"
Dongfang Xiang, the patriarch of the Dongfang family, looked sick, his face was relatively pale, and he had to cough several times when he said a word.
"Changxing is not to blame for the assassination, ahem! It's me who underestimated their strength, ahem! Changxing, have you reached the Qi gathering level now? ”
"Homecoming, Changxing has reached the level of gathering qi." Ji Changxing replied respectfully.
"That's good! I hope that before I die, I can see you cross the threshold of enlightenment...... Ahem..."Dongfang Xiang's eyes were melancholy, as if time was running out.
"Changxing do your best!" Ji Changxing lowered his head and did not look at Dongfang Xiang.
Although Dongfang Xiang looked sick, no one dared to interject when he spoke.
"Ah Shu, have you taken back the demon heart you lost?" Dongfang Xiang asked Ji Changxing and then asked Dongfang Shu.
"No, no." Dongfang Shu replied tremblingly.
On that day, Yuzu stole the demon heart from the sleeping Dongfang Shu.
"Hey!" Dongfang Xiang sighed.
"I have already found out that the person who stole the demon heart was Wen Kaiyuan's men, I sent people to ambush him on the road that day, who knew that Wen Kaiyuan sent cavalry to meet them, and my people couldn't beat them, so I ......" Dongfang Shu explained.
"If you become a king or lose, will the enemy listen to your explanation? Ahem, ahem! Dongfang Xiang hated that iron could not become steel, and he scolded angrily.
"But ......"
Dongfang wanted to defend again, but was glared at by the chief manager Dongfang Lan, and obediently closed his mouth.
"Great Elder, has Liangshan been found?" After calming down his anger, Dongfang Xiang turned his head and asked Lin Xin, who was sitting under him.
"Not yet!" The Grand Elder replied calmly.
"Ahem, ahem! Forget it, forget it, don't wait for him, since Wen Kaiyuan can't wait to start a war with our Dongfang family, let's fulfill him! Ah Lan, everything I gave you is done! Dongfang Xiang then said to Dongfang Lan.
"It's all set." Dongfang Lan replied.
"Since you want to fight, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots."
Dongfang Xiang clenched his fists, he was a patient and a ruthless person.
"Yes."
