Ares out of prison

Chapter 668 Undercurrent
"You detained those guests in the house and refused to let them leave. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so?"

In the Xiao family's main hall, Xiao Qin stood respectfully in front of the hall, and facing him was an elderly man with gray hair all over his head.

"Dad, don't worry, I have my own discretion in this matter, and I will definitely not cause any trouble for you!"

At that time, Xiao Qin was in the limelight in front of Wang Long and others, but when he faced this old man, his attitude was indescribably humble and respectful.

"You want to use the method of detaining people to force the Yuwen family to compromise and give you a few more benefits. This kind of behavior has already broken the rules! What if we really tear ourselves apart with the Yuwen family one day? It's over!"

Xiao Qian's expression was dignified, and the brows never relaxed: "What's more, who did you detain? That's a member of Feilonghui! Do you know how powerful Feilonghui is in the imperial capital? We can't afford to offend you! Once they join forces with the Yuwen family to deal with our Xiao family, you will lose all the old things our ancestors have accumulated for generations!"

Xiao Qian's words could be said to be crying blood, but Xiao Qin not only didn't take it to heart, he even smiled disapprovingly!
"Dad, I see, you are getting old and have no sense. You know, once this matter is successful, our Xiao family will make a lot of money through this transaction! At that time, looking at the whole Yunan, you will We can’t find a family stronger than ours!”

"But right now the Xiao family is at the top in Yunan! May I ask where the people of our Xiao family go, aren't they highly respected? Even these important officials from the government have to be courteous when they see us! Doesn't that satisfy you?"

"Dad, the times are different now. I want to continue to expand the strength of the Xiao family, not only in Yunan, but in the entire Dragon Kingdom! At that time, let alone the Flying Dragon Society, even if the king of heaven comes, I will not dare to touch me Xiao home!"

Xiao Qin's tone became more and more arrogant, and there was an aloof smile on his face.

"No!" Xiao Qian slapped the table vigorously: "Although I have given up the position of patriarch, at least I am the person with the highest status in the Xiao family! As long as I am here, you can never make things difficult for those guests!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the two servants next to him: "Go! Invite the guests of the Flying Dragon Club over, treat them with good wine and food, and send them away tomorrow morning!"

Xiao Qian originally thought that he had let go of his words, and Xiao Qin would not dare to disobey orders.

Who knows that not only Xiao Qin didn't take what he said seriously at this time, even the two servants stood there without any reaction!

"You... are you deaf? Hurry up and invite someone over!"

"Dad, you're tired, go back and rest early, don't worry about my affairs!"

A malicious smile appeared on Xiao Qin's face: "Go, help the old Patriarch go back to the side room to rest!"

"How dare you! Without me back then, the Xiao family would never have developed to the point it is now! Don't think that you can be defiant just because you became the head of the family. Let me tell you, this is an outrageous act of yours!"

Although Xiao Qian reprimanded Xiao Qin, he had no intention of changing his mind at all.

What was even more incredible was that just as Xiao Qin gave the order, two servants stepped forward, one left and one right, and forcibly took him away.

When Xiao Qian's yelling and cursing faded away, a familiar figure entered the hall immediately.

"Steward Zhao, you came just in time! Did you finish what you were asked to do?"

Zhao Guanjia nodded: "I have already contacted the people of the Yuwen family, but they didn't believe what I said, and insisted that the goods sent out have been carefully counted, and there will be absolutely no mistakes!"

"Okay! If that's the case, let's keep those people locked up. I don't believe that Yu Wenshou can really stand still!"

A trace of greed flashed in Xiao Qin's eyes, but Zhao Guanjia next to him had a slightly dignified expression.

"Patriarch, if we do this, we will undoubtedly offend two major forces, the Yuwen Family and the Flying Dragon Society. If the situation goes beyond our control, I'm afraid..."

"Why, are you just like that old man, afraid of doing things?"

"No, Patriarch, I just want to advise you, you should be careful in everything!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qin couldn't help squinting his eyes, with a playful smile on his face.

"Our Xiao family, when is it your turn to persuade me? If I hadn't taken in you back then, you would have been nothing more than a stray dog ​​in the street! What status would you have?"

While speaking, Xiao Qin grabbed Butler Zhao by his collar, and glared at him with wide eyes.

"Let me tell you, if you want to continue to eat at Xiao's house, you'd better keep your mouth shut and obediently follow all my orders! Otherwise, I can tell you to go back to the street and continue to beg for food at any time! I heard that." !"

When Xiao Qin said these words, killing intent even flashed in his eyes!
Now Butler Zhao naturally didn't dare to have any further opinions, and nodded quickly:
"Got it! Got it! From now on, I will be loyal to the Patriarch! I will obey!"

Only then did Xiao Qin loosen his collar, turned back to the table and took a sip of tea.

"Tell the Yuwen family that if you still want these people to return to Haijin safely, you must honestly follow my conditions!"

"This... Patriarch, I have actually told them about this before, but Yu Wenshou doesn't seem to want to buy it!"

"What?" Xiao Qin frowned: "This is the person he personally recruited to help! Does he even care about their life or death?"

Butler Zhao shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, but at present, it seems that the Yuwen family really doesn't intend to control them!"

"Tch! I don't believe that Yu Wenshou can really sit on the Diaoyutai forever!" Xiao Qin's face darkened: "Give them a day, if they still don't agree to my conditions, kill some of these people! Let's see if Yu Wenshou returns!" Can you just sit back and watch!"

Hearing these words, Steward Zhao's heart couldn't help but thump: "Patriarch, isn't this appropriate? They are members of the Flying Dragon Club!"

Even though Yunan and the imperial capital are separated by hundreds of kilometers, the name of the Flying Dragon Club is still very popular here.

Butler Zhao knew in his heart that if he was fighting with the Yuwen family, maybe the Xiao family still had the strength to fight against it.

But once he had a bad relationship with the members of the Flying Dragon Society, the consequences would be exactly as Xiao Qian said, the foundation laid down by the Xiao family's ancestors for generations would be destroyed in one fell swoop!

It's a pity that no matter how Steward Zhao advises, Xiao Qin won't listen.

In desperation, Butler Zhao could only nod his head in agreement, and turned to leave.

At this time, it was getting late outside, and Housekeeper Zhao walked away in a hurry, not noticing that a black shadow flashed past under the shade of the trees next to the main hall...
