Just after noon, in the courtyard of Xia's house. Chamber!
Patriarch Xia Feilong urgently summoned all the elders of the family to discuss matters in the council hall, because Xia Yan just sent back a letter from Ziye City, the content of the letter was very brief, only one sentence, let Xia Feilong take Bai Hua and others immediately Go to Ziye City to discuss the Xia family's entry into Ziye City.
Needless to say, this matter is of great importance to the entire family.
Even if the Xia family monopolizes the business of the entire Yushui City, it is only a county family. And if the Xia family came to Purple Leaf City, it would be the main city family, there is a big difference between the two!
"Patriarch, what happened?!"
"We are so anxious to come here, it can't be that something big happened in the family?!"
Several elders arrived at the meeting hall, and the sixth elder looked at the patriarch Xia Feilong and asked first.
Recently, the Xia family held a lot of meetings of elders. Some time ago, because of the Xi family, the Xia family often held meetings of elders to discuss countermeasures. Now the general situation is set, the Xi family is finished, and the development of the Xia family is back on track. Business is booming. At this moment. The patriarch hurriedly summoned everyone again, and everyone was a little surprised.
"Xia Yan, I went to Purple Leaf City a few days ago!" Xia Feilong didn't immediately say why he summoned everyone, but talked about Xia Yan.
"This time, Xia Yan went to Ziye City to pave the way for our Xia family to enter Ziye City!" Xia Feilong looked at the crowd without much expression on his face, but his eyes were bright.
"It's very difficult for an outsider to enter Ziye City. Although Xia Yan is the hall master of Yushui City, Ziye City is the main city. In the holy hall, Xia Yan may not be able to say anything!" Great Elder Xia Lai lifted raised his eyebrows.
Although Xia Yan said in front of all the elders that he would pave the way for the Xia family to enter Ziye City, everyone including Xia Feilong felt that this matter could not be completed in a short time.
Xia Yan is in the temple, neither of the two temple deacons, and everyone knows that the hall master of Yushui City is not a temple deacon.
Therefore, everyone was not in a hurry to prepare for this matter. In their view, this matter needs a long process.
"Yes, the Great Elder is right. Our Xia family is just a county family. It is difficult to become one of the main city families. There are more than 20 county cities in Ziye City, and each county city There are several families that are similar to our Xia family. I think all these families want to join the main city."
"But it's not easy!" Xia Feilong took a deep breath. Standing up from his seat, looking around at the people sitting on both sides of the long table, he gently pressed his palms on the long purple table.
The meeting hall was very quiet, everyone could hear Xia Feilong's breathing.
"If our Xia family doesn't have Xia Yan, then I'm afraid we won't be able to become one of the families in the main city in another ten or a hundred years. Although we all want to be in the main city, this is just a thought." Xia Feilong continued. said a word.
Xia Feilong's eyes suddenly changed, "An hour ago, I received a letter from Ziye City. This letter was written by Xia Yan himself. He asked me to go to Ziye City immediately to discuss the entry of Xia's family. The matter of Ziye City. Since Xia Yan said so, he must have set up a line for our Xia family in Ziye City."
"What?!"
"How can this be?!"
Several elders exclaimed one after another, discussing with each other in disbelief.
"Xia Yan was going to Ziye City a few days ago, how can we make arrangements in such a short period of time?!" The second elder shook his head, "Besides, there are four major families in Ziye City, namely the Dong family, the Song family, and the Qi family. Family. Lu family, these four families are extremely powerful, how can Xia Yan persuade these four families to let our Xia family enter Ziye City?!"
"That's right! Did Xia Yan think things too simply?!" The Seventh Elder glanced at the two elders beside him, then at Xia Feilong, and sighed slightly.
"Patriarch, you might as well go and have a look!" Xia Changhe's breath sank, and his voice sounded clearly in the meeting hall.
"Hehe, what the third elder said is that I plan to go to Ziye City in person this afternoon. Then..." Xia Feilong looked at Xia Changhe, "Well, then, the third elder will go to Ziye City with me. Mr. Bai Hua, the chief executive, also went with us."
"Great Elder, you and the elders will stay in the family to handle affairs!" Xia Feilong looked at Xia Lai again.
"Okay!" Xia Lai nodded.
The other elders did not express any other opinions. Even if they didn't believe that Xia Yan could pave the way for the Xia family to enter Ziye City in such a short period of time, they would not object to Xia Feilong's visit to Ziye City.
"Elders, all of you should be ready too." Xia Feilong said, "Once I return from Ziye City, I may start to move the Xia family."
"Hehe, I actually believe that Xia Yan has already drawn the line, otherwise he wouldn't have written me this letter." Xia Feilong smiled.
Although he couldn't figure out what method Xia Yan used, Xia Feilong believed in Xia Yan in his heart.
…
In the courtyard of Lu's house!
"What did you say?!"
In a spacious room, the patriarch Lu Xiangpo's expression changed drastically. In front of him was an elder in the family who was in charge of managing the family's outer court, which was the family-run business.
Just now, the elder brought a piece of news to Lu Xiangpo.
"Kaiyuan Commercial Bank and Minghe Shanghe are not only unwilling to continue to provide us with goods. They are also demanding debts from us?!" Lu Xiangpo took a deep breath, slammed his palm on the table, and said loudly.
"Yes, patriarch! Three days ago, they refused to continue to provide our family with various goods, and even sent people to collect some of the previous debts. The attitude is very domineering." The Lu family elder also said angrily.
"Damn..."
"Could it be that they don't want to continue to do business with our Lu family? Our Lu family has been buying goods from their business all these years, and they don't want to make money?!"
"What the hell happened!" Lu Xiangpo clenched his fists almost roaring, the veins on his arms were bulging.
The dignified breath filled the entire room.
"Patriarch, could someone be obstructing it? Our opponent wants to use this method to knock down the Lu family!" The elder looked up at Lu Xiangpo and lowered his voice.
"Who has such a big influence? Impossible! In Purple Leaf City, no power can make these two firms make such a decision!" Lu Xiangpo shook his head, his eyes flickering fiercely.
He said it was impossible, but he was also suspicious in his heart, and he was guessing who it would be.
If it wasn't for someone's mischief, the two firms would never have done this.
Obviously, these two firms no longer intend to continue doing business with the Lu family.
In the past ten years, these two commercial firms have been the main sources of purchases for the Lu family. Cooperation has always 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 Lu family boy came in. He was a steward of the outer courtyard and was in charge of some business of the Lu family.
"Patriarch, West Sichuan Auction House, Donglong Auction House..." The steward was a little out of breath, speaking hurriedly, he named several auction houses in succession, "These auction houses refuse to continue to cooperate with our Lu family. gone."
"I personally went to ask them why, but they didn't give any explanation. The attitude is arrogant!" The deacon said with some resentment.
"Not only that, but recently several shipments from our Lu family to the county below were also robbed by robbers. These robbers are getting bolder now, even daring to lay hands on our Lu family's goods."
"This is a conspiracy!" Lu Xiangpo interrupted the steward before he could finish speaking.
"Understood!" Lu Xiangpo exhaled, "This is obviously aimed at our Song family. However, I don't know what kind of power it is, with such great energy. It is impossible for the Dong family, the Qi family, and the Song family to do this. point!"
Lu Xiangpo quickly analyzed in his mind, but he still couldn't find a suitable suspect. The targets were eliminated one by one, and he found that he didn't find the target he wanted in the end.
"Patriarch, what should our Lu family do now?!" The elder was also a little anxious. It had been a long time since the Lu family had not encountered such a situation. There was some friction with the Su family in Ziye City some time ago, 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 huge!
"Call all the elders to discuss!" 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 happened. Some forces that had cooperated for a long time suddenly stopped for no reason. cooperate.
Moreover, many forces have also pursued 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 much, and were still as calm as usual. But the calmer the surface, the more turbulent the waves hidden under the calmness may be.
A line formed by Xia Yan was waiting for the best opportunity, and then suddenly moved out, severely injuring the enemy with one blow. When the time came, they had to wait for Xia Yan's notice.
"Hehe, we finally arrived at Purple Leaf City."
A voice came from a black carriage slowly driving into Purple Leaf City.
There were eight people sitting in the spacious compartment of the carriage. Xia Feilong, the head of the Xia family. The third elder Xia Changhe, Bai Hua, Xia Liu, a junior of the Xia family who had just stepped into the innate realm, and four skilled guards of the Xia family.
"Here we are, Xia Yan told us to go to the temple to look for him after arriving in Ziye City." Xia Feilong sat in the carriage, "Coach driver, go to the temple in Ziye City."
"Could it be that Xia Yan lives in the temple? Isn't this the right only the hall master has?!" Xia Changhe raised his brows and said in a doubtful tone.
"I don't know either, but since Xia Yan asked us to go to the temple in Ziye City to look for him, we will definitely find him there. Let's talk about it when we get there." Xia Feilong's eyes flashed, he shook his head and said with a smile.
