After a few more days, Li Xiang returned to normal, and no one knew what he had experienced. However, Li Xiang himself knew that the hurdle in his heart had not completely passed, but he was just pressed in the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, although his state of mind cultivation dropped slightly, he didn't fall much, and he was maintained. But if he can't pass this hurdle, he won't make any progress in the future, and he will be at this level in this life.

On this day, Li Xiang was on duty at the counter again, and they heard each other's guests talking about it, saying that Ximenqing had been missing for several days, and the family had begun to be in chaos. Those concubines of Ximenqing began to tear and force, and wanted to divide Ximenqing's property. Those domestic servants and maids also began to steal things from the house, wanting to loot as much as possible before the big tree fell, so that they could live a better life in the future.

Hearing this news, Li Xiang immediately remembered that Ximenqing still had a large amount of property that had not been harvested, and it would not be good if others picked it up. So he immediately rummaged through the things that he had seized from him after killing Ximen Qing, including inner and outer clothes, purses containing money, folding fans, jade pendants, seals, and other things. Except for throwing away his clothes, Li Xiang took everything else with him, and then used his divine foot to come directly to Ximen Qing's house.

When he arrived at Ximen Qing's house, Li Xiang didn't bother to bother anymore, and directly used "Soul Shifting Dafa - Law" to control a maid ring and asked her to take her to the housekeeper. found the housekeeper, controlled it as usual, and then asked Ximenqing how much property he had, and wanted to transfer Ximenqing's family property to his own name. But after listening to the housekeeper's introduction, Li Xiang knew that a simple transfer would not work, although there were many industries in Ximenqing, most of them were not his own.

Although Ximen Qingzu is also a landlord. But he had already fallen, and he became a big official. It's all up to his own hard work. He relied on his ability to speak well and was good at meeting horses. hooked up with the people in the yamen, and then embarked on the road to making a fortune. But if he wants to make a fortune from the people in the yamen, it is impossible not to give benefits to those people, so a large part of Ximenqing's industry is someone else's, and he is just a manager on the table.

However, although not all the industries under Ximenqing's name are his own, with the background of the government, he can run rampant. Otherwise, in the original plot, he killed Wu Dalang. After occupying Pan Jinlian, Wu Song, the infantryman, went to complain, but he didn't win, and he had no choice but to take revenge himself, which shows how much influence Ximen Qing has in the yamen.

With these people behind, it is impossible for Li Xiang to annex Ximenqing's industry. But let Li Xiang give up easily, it will be even more impossible. He immediately asked the housekeeper to sort out all the information on the shops, farms, real estate, etc., and then issued Ximenqing's order through the housekeeper's mouth. All the cash from all the shops was taken out and sent to the treasury in Ximen Qingfu. This is not even to let these stores sell the goods at a reduced price, and in the shortest possible time, make up another sum of money. And these silver. was moved by Li Xiang to his own bank little by little. There are gods and feet in the body, and no one can find out about the silver in broad daylight.

After removing all the money from Ximenqing, Li Xiang let the housekeeper walk the rumors with bad intentions. said that Ximenqing was in great trouble and didn't dare to live in Yanggu County anymore. I rolled up the money and ran away. So the Simon family, which was about to break up, was completely chaotic. up to the housekeeper and the wife and concubine. From the maids and servants to the maids, they all robbed all the belongings of Simon's house as if they were crazy, and then fled. Some people even relied on their strength to rob Ximenqing's concubine and even her jewelry, which can be regarded as a gain of both people and money.

Rumors soon spread about the chaos in Ximenqing's house, so the merchants who competed with Ximenqing's stores immediately began to suppress the shops under Ximenqing's name. Unfortunately, the cash of the shops under Ximenqing's name was taken away by Li Xiang, and in the face of the suppression of competitors, he was simply powerless to fight back, and soon became precarious and on the verge of bankruptcy.

At this time, those people who were colluded with Ximenqing had to take action, and they used their connections to suppress those merchants who suppressed these stores. Those merchants were pressured to spare these shops. However, even without external pressure, these stores are short of money and goods, and they cannot sustain themselves. If you want to bounce back, you have to put money into it. This is difficult to hold those people, let them hold the money, let them take out the money, that is more difficult than ascending to the sky!

After discussing and discussing, these people decided to sell all the shops and swallow Ximenqing's share to make up for their losses. As for the money in the future, without Ximenqing, as well as Dongfangqing and Nangongqing, there is really no, depending on which store's business is good, door-to-door blackmail is, there will be no shortage of their spending. However, they didn't intend to let go of the guy like Ximen Qing who dared to run away with their money, and somehow they did it, and gave Ximen Qing'an a big thief charge of killing people and stealing goods, sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils, and issued a sea capture document that was wanted nationwide. Whether he can catch it or not, he can't make it better.

I have to say that these people are okay as officials, but they are completely amateurs in business. Dozens of stores cashed together, which suddenly caused the prices of stores in Yanggu County to plummet by more than half, not only the owners of these stores lost a lot of money, but also other stores involved also suffered a lot of losses. But at the same time, it also gave those wealthy people with sufficient financial resources a chance to merge, and many people began to secretly buy. Li Xiang also took the opportunity to make a move, and through the puppets controlled by him, he bought more than a dozen shops, and consumed all the gold and silver looted from the Ximen Qing Silver Treasury.

By this time, the Simon family was completely defeated, and there was not even a descendant left. Except for the occasional appearance in people's after-dinner chats, this world is as if there has never been a person like Ximenqing.

And Li Xiang has become a rich man in the dark, no one knows that he has the top financial resources in Yanggu County, and even Wu Dalang doesn't know.

After a few more days, Wu Song returned. As soon as he came back, he first went to Wu Dalang Zhengdian and introduced an old man to Li Xiang, and then hurriedly went to the magistrate to return to his life. And this old man surprised Li Xiang, it turned out to be Zhou Dong!

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Song was originally a street gangster, who had never learned really advanced martial arts, and ran rampant with his strong body. When fighting the tiger, he obviously had a whistle stick in his hand, but he was bitten off by the tiger, so he had to hit the tiger empty-handed. And when he was fighting the tiger, he didn't show much punches and kicks, it was all based on his strength. But later, after he killed Ximenqing and was assigned, he surrendered to Sun Erniang, drunkenly beat Jiang Menshen, and fell into the grass Erlongshan, and finally ranked fourteenth when he gathered in Liangshan. If only he had great strength, could he have achieved such an achievement? I must have learned the advanced martial arts somewhere.

There is also a legend that Wu Song is a disciple of Zhou Dong, and many people think that this is a false rumor, because judging from Wu Song's resume, his life trajectory is not intertwined with Zhou Dong at all. If you want to say that the only time you are close, it is only a few days when Wu Song went to Tokyo on a business trip on the order of Zhixian. Perhaps, it was in the past few days that Wu Song was instructed by Zhou Dong, which made him shine later.

Now that Li Xiang knows, Wu Song went to Tokyo and did see Zhou Dong. It's just that Zhou Tong pointed out Wu Song's two sentences, why did he follow Wu Song to Yanggu County? But no matter why, Zhou Tong is a well-known figure, and he was brought back by Wu Song, so Li Xiang naturally had to entertain him well. He personally took Zhou Tong to the best private room upstairs, asked Wu Dalang to make a first-class banquet, and personally accompanied the guests.

Zhou Tong hasn't spoken much since he came to Wu Dalang Zhengdian, but when he looked at Li Xiang, his eyes were a little strange. He thought he was hiding it well, but Li Xiang had his heart in his body, and he had already seen Zhou Dong's intentions. This old guy actually came to Yanggu County for him. However, Li Xiang didn't say anything, just gossip with Zhou Tong and drink with him.

After Zhou Tong had eaten and drunk enough, Li Xiang arranged a place for him to live. In the evening, Wu Song also came back, plus Wu Dalang, the four of them sat together and pushed the cup and changed the lamp again. Wu Dalang drank too little, and he felt that he couldn't get on the stage, so after a few drinks, he said that he was drunk and went back to his room to sleep.

Without Wu Dalang present, the three of them didn't have so many scruples when they spoke, Wu Song said first: "Sister-in-law, this time I went to Tokyo, Master Zhou took more care of me, and also pointed me out a few hands, which benefited me a lot!" However, Master Zhou also admired my martial arts, and I heard that I learned from my sister-in-law, so I must come to visit you. The two of you are both masters of martial arts, you can't miss me when you are sparring, I'll just serve you tea and water. ”

Li Xiang smiled indifferently: "Master Zhou overestimates me too much, I'm just a woman's family, how can I be called a master?" ”

Zhou Tong shook his head with a smile and said, "Mrs. Pan is too humble, just by virtue of your qi cultivation skills, the old man can conclude that your martial arts must be extraordinary." The old man has nothing else to do but be a martial artist. When he met a master like Pan Niangzi, how could the old man miss it? Please also ask Mrs. Pan to give advice. ”

Li Xiang nodded and said: "It's easy to say, the name of Zhou's seniors, the juniors have also admired it for a long time, and it is enough for the juniors to get a compliment from you." ”

Zhou Tong waved his hand again and again: "Don't say that, judging from Wu Erlang's kung fu, I am afraid that your martial arts are still above the old man." The old man said that he would like to ask you for advice, but it was not a kind word, I really came to ask you for advice. ”

Li Xiang didn't expect Zhou Tong to be able to put down his face and say such a thing, and hurriedly said: "Senior Zhou is too polite, what do you say to ask for advice or not, let's discuss with each other." The younger generation is still young, there are many things that I don't understand, and I still need the guidance of old-timers like you. ”

Both parties were very polite and naturally got along very well. By the next day, Zhou Tong had changed his calmness when he first came, and he couldn't wait. After breakfast, he took Li Xiang and Wu Song to the barracks. Li Xiang was helpless, so he had to tell Wu Dalang to take a good look at the store and go with him. (To be continued.) )
