Chapter 43: The Eve of the Gambling Fight
Above the court, Jun Wuwu's face was solemn, his tiger eyes were awe-inspiring, sweeping towards the ministers under the hall, and his voice was faint, but it contained incomparable majesty: "Wu Changen, you are guilty!"
There were not many surprises among the ministers in the hall, obviously, these people had already expected Wu Changen's situation. Without the support of the healing elixir, the Wu family will definitely be in a losing situation if they compete with the Xiao family.
Xiao Baizhan stood aside and watched coldly. The corner of his mouth smiled coldly, but he did not hide it. The Wu family's suppression of the Xiao family at the beginning made Xiao Baizhan quite unhappy. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Baizhan originally wanted to wipe out the Wu family. But Jun Wuwu was a little helpless to inform Xiao Baizhan that the Yan Hell Ghost Hall had already intervened in this matter!
Jun Wuwu's words were quite clear, and in his words, there was also a hint of helplessness: the bottom line of the Yan Prison Ghost Hall is to keep the Wu family immortal. After all, Wu Changen's youngest son, Wu Qing, had already reached the position of a core disciple in the Hellish Ghost Palace. If even his own disciple's family can't be preserved, the Yan Hell Ghost Hall can't afford to lose this person either.
The king of a country is not only concerned with the interests of the family, but also the influence of a three-grade sect is no less than that of a low-level dynasty. Therefore, the right to speak in the Yan Prison Ghost Hall is quite important in Jun Wuwu's heart, at least, in dealing with this matter of the Wu family, Jun Wuwu also has to consider a few points.
Wu Changen smiled bitterly a few times, then took a slight step forward, bowed down and said, "The old minister is guilty." ”
My heart was already full of bitterness. The Wu family's healing pill had been sold out a few days ago, and in the midst of the scolding of merchants, the Wu family's medicine shop could only close its doors. The only source of funds was cut off, and the rest of the business channels were even more inoperable under the suppression of the four clans.
The Wu family's economy, under this level of suppression, has long stagnated. In fact, it is extremely difficult to even maintain the status quo.
Originally, the medicinal herbs introduced from Lin Haicheng were regarded as life-saving straws by Wu Changen, but now it seems that they are more violent than the life-threatening poison. The hoarding of a large number of medicinal materials made the Wu family quite embarrassed by the economy, and they could not make ends meet. These five million gold coins of medicinal herbs almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
A huge family, if it is in operation, the daily consumption of gold coins is definitely not a few. However, the Wu family's decades of accumulation have been completely corrupted under these few big gambles.
In desperation, Wu Changen had to start selling the property in the capital, and together with the medicinal materials worth five million gold coins, it was only worth selling four million gold coins. The amount of losses has long caused the prestige of the Wu family to suffer a great loss, and it will no longer be the same as before.
His expression was a little gloomy, and Wu Changen knew in his heart that the benefits of this had not flowed elsewhere. In the capital city, the eight major families are already covering the sky with one hand.
These benefits were undoubtedly divided among the four clans, and the Jun family and the Xiao family naturally accounted for the vast majority of them. Especially the Xiao family, the best medicine shops in the Wu family area were all in the bag, and the momentum of the Xiao family was also raised to the peak for a while.
sighed slowly, and a touch of regret also appeared in Jun Wuwu's eyes. Slowly tapping on the handle on the dragon chair, Jun Wuwu said slowly: "Disrupting the order of the market and raising the price of medicine have caused the people to resent, and this is to punish you!"
"The old minister has something to say!"
Jun Wuwu cast his eyes and found that the person who opened his mouth was a member of the original Wu Changen faction. At this moment, this person must be angry, his eyes are full of angry flames, and he is staring at Wu Changen deadly, as if he has an enmity with him.
Jun Wuwu, who saw it, did not stop himself, and the man said fiercely: "Old man Wu, bullying and dominating the market has long been intolerable to us. This time, Wu Changen committed a big crime, if he can't be severely punished, the old minister ,...... I'd rather die on this pillar!"
After speaking, it seemed that he was really going to crash towards the dragon pillar next to him, but fortunately, he was pulled by another minister next to him, so he stopped his thoughts of hitting the pillar. But he still couldn't stop scolding, as if Wu Changen and him had an enmity with him.
Xiao Baizhan's eyes were cold, he sneered, and did not speak, he naturally did not have a good impression of this kind of wall grass. The wind makes the rudder, after all, it will not give people a sense of trust, and only in times of suffering can we see the truth, and it is too late to show goodwill to the Xiao family now!
didn't pay attention to the man's crying, sneered, Jun Wuwu also secretly wrote down this person, such a person, if he was left in the court, it would be a scourge after all!
Slowly glanced at Wu Changen, Jun Wuwu's face was expressionless, and then he paused slightly, his voice was slow, but it was very powerful: "Among the eight clans, there has been no Wu family since then." When he went to the capital, the Wu family, who was not allowed to step into the capital, took half a step. ”
Xiao Baizhan's eyes lit up, Jun Wuwu's words seemed to be gentle, but there was no doubt that the hope of the Wu family returning to the capital again was extinguished!
The current Wu family, under such suppression by the Jun family, is no longer able to survive in Shangjing...... If you are obsessed, facing the Wu family, it will definitely be a disaster!
Hearing Jun Wuwu's words, Wu Changen's face did not change, obviously, he had taken such results into account. In fact, even Jun Wuwu never expelled the Wu family from the city. The Wu family, who has sold all the properties in the city, can only barely become a second-rate family in Shangjing City by virtue of its former heritage.
In this case, instead of continuing to be suppressed by the four clans in the city, it is better to retreat to the next best thing in exchange for the safety of the family......
Thinking of Wu Qing, who was still in the Hell's Ghost Palace, Wu Changen's eyes immediately flashed with a touch of resentment, but it only lasted for a moment, and then he was quickly retracted and gone.
The hope of the Wu family is all on Wu Qing, as long as this hope is still there, it is not impossible for him to return to the capital one day.
Exhaling a breath of turbid breath in his chest, Wu Changen said strongly: "It is only natural to raise the price of medicine, monopolize the market, and get such a result...... Those who were able to save my people are already fortunate. His eyes sank slightly, and he slowly left.
Looking at Wu Changen's Xiao Suo's back, everyone in the audience had a faint feeling rising in their hearts at the same time: This Wu family is completely degraded.
Therefore, a day later, the Wu family left Shangjing. Except for a few henchmen, no one has ever come to see them off, and the scene is naturally bleak.
............
The fall of the Wu family, although Xiao Yu expected it. But even Xiao Yu didn't expect that this day would come so early......
The people of the Wu family, under the intimidation of the mysterious person they made up, automatically chose to back down. For this, in addition to ecstasy, there was also a faint sense of helplessness in my heart: this person from the Wu family is too intimidated.
With a faint smile, Xiao Yu didn't take this matter to heart, and as the March period approached, Xiao Yu's originally loose nerves suddenly became tense.
The improvement of strength is imminent. Jun Hanyun can be called the first genius among the juniors, and it is not in vain. Whether it is the level and number of Xuan Qi cultivation or the mastery of Xuan Technique, it is by no means comparable to ordinary geniuses.
If you can't improve your strength, if you want to win over Jun Hanyun, it's tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Boy, the March period is approaching, if you want to improve your strength, take that thing!"
Seeing Xiao Yu's somewhat fiery eyes, the sword spirit also laughed and said: "This three-flower gathering top pill was still searched from Wu Fangcun's guy, it is estimated that that kid also wants to keep the impact of the martial apprentice rank, but I never thought that it would be cheaper for you......"
"Huh"
Take out the pitch-black pill bottle in your arms, flick your fingers, and pop the stopper out of the bottle's mouth. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he sniffed the fresh incense, the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth grinned, and then he laughed softly: "The time is almost over, in this case, today I will break the barrier of the martial artist in one fell swoop!"
