Chapter Twenty-Four: Crying Without Tears
Gu Jingyang was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, but he had to find a way to solve the matter, because the fake Gu Jingyang swept away the gold and silver accumulated by the Gu family and left a large amount of bad debts, he even had to dig out a hidden silver hole left by the ancestors of the Gu family to prepare to redeem the sold family business.
It turned out that Gu Jingyang was not going to use this hidden silver cave at all, but now that the Gu family was already in crisis, he was afraid that it would be completely finished if he didn't come out with some real money, so he had to open this hidden silver cave that only the patriarch knew.
He publicly assured everyone that no matter how many taels of gold and silver the family heads took out to buy the Gu family's property from the fake Gu Jingyang, he was willing to buy it back at the same price, which could definitely be said to be extremely benevolent and righteous.
But the views of the masters are completely different, how to spit out the meat in the mouth after eating, this is several times or even dozens of times the profiteering, if these shops, houses, and Zhuangzi are returned to the Gu family, wouldn't it be a big loss, if these shops, houses, and Zhuangzi have not been taken over, everyone may be able to accept such a cruel reality, but the shops, houses, and Zhuangzi have already been in their hands, and they must not bear it: "Gu Jingyang is going to use a knife to cut the meat on Lao Tzu's body, and he must not agree to him!"
Therefore, everyone immediately formed an alliance to deal with the Gu family: "Anyway, no one is allowed to give in to the Gu family, we must fight with Gu Jingyang to the end, even if we sue Xuantian Palace, we must fight for superiority, whoever dares to compromise with Gu Jingyang is our public enemy, and we will gather the strength of the whole county to fight against it!"
For the Gu family, this is a real fatal blow, in the past, they were rampant and domineering in the county, and even buried a lot of people, and there were many enemies, but although the other families in the county were criticized, they maintained an attitude of turning a blind eye and letting the Gu family mess around, and these enemies of the Gu family were not at all the climate.
But now, except for a few of the most stubborn allies, now the entire Yunjian County up to the official mansion, the family down to the Hanmen has become the sworn enemies of the Gu family, and some opponents have even turned over old accounts, the Gu family has been hit hard by a series of heavy blows, and every day there are lawsuits coming to the door and falling into long-term entanglement, and they have to send money to the lawsuit every day, if there is still Lin Quanguan's support behind him, Gu Jingyang feels that he can't hold on at all.
For the several wealthy families in Yunjian County, the biggest revelation from this incident to them is not how much they have earned the Gu family, but that they finally have a clear understanding of the status of Chen Niangniang in Tianhong Mountain.
In the past, Chen Niangniang's name was not easy to use when it entered Yunjian County, and several major families spared no effort when they attacked Niangniang Temple, and they all thought that a five-tailed demon fox was not a big deal, and even when it came to fake Gu Jingyang and fled to Yingzhou in a hurry, many of them still had a fluke mentality, thinking that the skill of the five-tailed demon fox was nothing more than that, otherwise how could Gu Jingyang escape with the family property, but now they finally knew the horror of Chen Niangniang.
Overnight, the Gu family's two-hundred-year foundation was destroyed, although Gu Jingyang was still moving around and even wanted to invite Lin Quanguan out, but everyone knew that it was impossible for the Gu family to recover without thirty or fifty years, and the biggest possibility was that the Gu family would be completely decayed from then on, and no matter how hard Gu Jingyang struggled, he had no chance to turn around.
And everyone thinks that this is still the result of Chen Niangniang's kindness, if she is really ruthless, it will directly rebel as a fake Gu Jingyang, and then the Gu family will not have a second ending except for the death of the clan, but Chen Niangniang is so kind-hearted and has left enough affection for the Gu family, but even so, the Gu family is still in a catastrophe, originally a first-class famous family in the clouds, but after several rounds of heavy blows, it decayed at an incredible speed.
Since they have a new understanding of Chen Niangniang, everyone has naturally changed many traditional practices of Niangniang Temple, and dare not exclude those believers who believe in Xianhu Niangniang, as long as they are willing, they can go to Niangniang Temple to incense without hindrance, not only that, but the owners of the family will occasionally "mistakenly enter" the Niangniang Temple on the pillar incense to leave an incense.
Although the descendants of the clan are still not allowed to believe in Chen Niangniang, the major families are now open to the net, allowing the children and slaves of the family to privately believe in Chen Niangniang and even give Chen Niangniang incense.
As the so-called "fear of power but not virtue", in the past, the five-tailed demon fox only had a maximum of thirty or fifty core believers in Yunjian County, but after the Gu family was tossed like this, the believers in the county town suddenly increased by six or seven times the gold, and the believers even secretly built the first Niangniang Temple in the county, and the government and the major families not only adopted a tacit attitude but also provided a lot of help, just begging Chen Niangniang to remember this incense when she made a move.
Although the development of the situation in Yunjian far exceeded Liu Kongya and Jiang Yanyun's most optimistic estimates, they did not expect such a follow-up development at all, she had already left Yunjian County, and was now taking stock of the massive loot she had obtained from the Gu family.
The Gu family's two hundred years of accumulation of family wealth is indeed extraordinary, Liu Kongya did not expect that the Gu family could actually make up twenty-two treasure chests, although there are nearly ten boxes containing books or other items, but the gold and silver jewelry alone is filled with eleven chests, and now all the treasure chests have been opened, and there are jewels everywhere.
Jiang Yanyun picked up a handful of rubies, sapphires, crystals, and cat's eyes and felt very happy, she let these gold and silver jewels scatter between her fingers, although she was not an ordinary daughter in the world, but the feeling of letting countless gems slowly slide between her fingers was still wonderful, not to mention that she was sitting on a pile of gems.
Jin Niang flicked her long fox tail and jumped around in the treasure chests, and happily announced the true owner of these gold and silver jewels: "Brother's, brother's! These are Brother Kongya's!"
Jiang Yanyun glanced at Jin Niang and said angrily: "I know, I know, these gold and silver jewels are all brought to Xuantian Sword Sect Cloud by Xiao Ya to be dotted, but these gold and silver jewels alone are not enough!"
Liu Kongya was taken aback slightly: "Eleven boxes of gold, silver and jewelry are not enough, how many generations of the Gu family have saved eleven treasure chests, but it is not enough to make a point in the Xuantian Sword Sect." ”
He really didn't expect to be able to get so much gold and silver jewelry from the Gu family, let alone that the entire eleven large boxes of gold and silver jewelry were a little insufficient, but Jiang Yanyun said unceremoniously: "Of course it's not enough, it's far from enough, such a stepping stone is only enough to be an outer disciple, and the inner disciple is a little too much!"
Liu Kongya suddenly understood why the legendary immortals never valued gold and silver jewelry, it turned out that their demand for gold and silver jewelry was far higher than that of ordinary people, and so many boxes of gold and silver jewelry could not even buy a place for an inner disciple.
