Domineering

Chapter 178

In the afternoon four days later, it was raining heavily in Xiushui County.

In a study room in Shangguan's residence, Shangguan Shenhao's mood was as oppressive, gloomy and cold as the weather outside.

Lei Yuan, the owner of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy, did what he said. Three days ago, he removed all the internal and external disciples related to the Shangguan family from the martial arts gym.

And just this morning, seventeen sects and one hundred and three martial arts schools headed by Wuxiang Shenzong, Xingxiu Xianzong, Supreme Xuanzong, and Nantianmen jointly wrote a letter to Shangguan's family.

From now on, all the children and subordinates of the Shangguan family will be rejected, and once discovered, they will be expelled immediately.

The number of these martial arts gyms is much more than the 79 martial arts gyms mentioned by the owner Lei Yuan before.

In the entire Dongzhou, almost all the orthodox sects participated, completely blocking the way for the Shangguan family to use the 'Blood Source Chart Pillar'.

The descendants of Shangguan's family worshiped in the walls of various sects, and the three fellow clans who served as officials in counties and counties also sent letters to inquire about the reasons, urging Shangguan Shenhao to apologize and give an explanation as soon as possible, so as to calm Wuxiang Shenzong's anger.

Otherwise, their situation will be very embarrassing——

Two of them spoke fiercely, and even threatened that if the patriarch still wanted to act recklessly, they would sever ties with the Shangguan family.

This remark made Shangguan Shenhao feel angry and resentful.

These bastards!Forgot who gave them a future?Who provided their elixir?
But this is only one of the few things that bothered him, and what troubled Shangguan Shenhao even more was the price increase for cargo ship owners, boatmen, coolies, and trackers at all the docks in the upper and lower reaches of Xiushui County.

These people said that following the order of the Iron Banner Gang, the shipping fee for all goods from the Shangguan family will be increased by [-]%, and the wages of coolies and trackers will be doubled.

"Is the Patriarch Shangguan still worried?"

This slightly sarcastic voice came from a young man opposite the desk, with a face like a full moon, handsome features, and slender phoenix eyes.

That was the ice snake Longheng.

Because of his injuries, his face was as white as paper.

Although the left hand that was severed by Ye Zhiqiu was attached, it was still unable to move at this moment, and could only be tied to his chest with a white belt.

But at this time, Longheng had a slight smile on his face, and he lowered his head to drink the Tieguanyin in his hand: "Patriarch Shangguan, I advise you to be soft when you should be soft. No matter what, your family can't afford to be offended.

This matter has become so big that it has damaged the face of Wuxiang Shenzong, they will not let it go easily no matter what.In addition, don't be reluctant to pay at the pier, otherwise your goods will not be able to be shipped. "

Shangguan Shenhao looked at Longheng thoughtfully: "You seem to have some idea, let me hear it?"

Longheng put down the teacup: "In fact, the increase in the price of cargo ships and coolies will not damage the foundation of your Shangguan family. It is just to make less money in the future. What the owner of the Shangguan family is really worried about is that the Iron Banner Gang will continue to expand on the waterway, and even more Have the support of those cargo ship owners and those coolies."

Shangguan Shenhao's face was noncommittal.

There was a heavy worry in his eyes.

The momentum of the Iron Banner Gang is already very strong.

A few days ago, Tie Kuangren gave an order to gather more than [-] people from upstream and downstream, which still makes him unforgettable and fearful.

"However, things in this world have always been based on misfortunes and blessings, and blessings and misfortunes. There are good and bad sides. The owner of the Shangguan family might as well think about it from another angle—"

Longheng looked at Shangguan Shenhao with deep meaning in his eyes: "Since the price of Shangguan's house has increased, will the freight and wages of other companies also increase accordingly? If it does not increase, those coolies on the wharf will definitely not want to work.

If it goes up, the cost of freight will just go up. There are so many companies in Xiushui County, but not every one of them is as wealthy and powerful as your Shangguan family and can afford the loss.

Just like the Luosheng number under the name of the prefect's wife, will she feel at ease if she loses three thousand magic silver's income a month? 3000 taels of magic silver is not much, but it was thrown to those coolies for nothing.A year ago in Dashui, Taishan County, this lady was the one who withheld half of the relief food. "

Shangguan Shenhao's expression moved slightly, thoughtful.

"So the salary not only has to go up, but it has to go up as fast as it can."

Long Heng picked up the tea again, and continued to drink slowly: "Over there at the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, Master Shangguan, you also have to come to apologize, why not bring more money, give an explanation, and give Wuxiang Shenzong enough face.

I know that Patriarch Shangguan is not at ease, but why did Long ever feel at ease?The problem was that Chu Xisheng was really unable to move under the wings of the martial arts hall.When we fight the Iron Banner Gang, we must not offend the Wuxiang Shenzong.

But sooner or later, Chu Xisheng would have to come out to do things. Without enough financial resources, how would he be promoted to the seventh rank?And once this person breaks away from the wings of the martial arts school and enters the arena, he will definitely have conflicts with you and me.At that time, it was just a normal rivers and lakes struggle, and the casualties had their own destiny.No matter how much Lei Yuan and Ye Zhiqiu cherished this person, they had nothing to say afterwards. "

Shangguan Shenhao squinted his eyes and meditated, then raised the teacup, and said with tea instead of wine: "As expected of an ice snake, this remark penetrated into it—"

At this moment, his butler knocked on the door and walked in.

"master."

The butler was in his sixties, and knelt on the ground with a pale face: "There is an accident in Linhai County, and the Linhai Zhou family has announced to all major merchants that they will not be able to purchase all the goods of our Shangguan family from now on. One should be produced in The medicinal materials in the sea will also be forfeited to my Shangguan family."

Shangguan Shenhao's face was calm when he heard the words.

He had already guessed the reaction of the boat family in Linhai.

Zhou Xiongba is a strong and domineering person, and he will not allow Shangguan Shenhao to violate Zhou's tiger beard.

"Also," the butler peeked at Shangguan Shenhao's face: "President Li from the Six Doors sent a message saying that the special envoy of the Six Doors Baihutang came today, and he was looking over there to find out who was with our chief executive. Dossiers related to the family general and the three family generals.

It is said that the head of the county, the judge and the jailer, had been arrested by the special envoy in the early morning.Even Mr. Li himself, who was the head arrester, was placed under house arrest in the Yamen and could not go out. "

boom!
Shangguan Shenhao suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand into fine powder.

Porcelain powder and tea soup splashed in all directions.

Longheng also frowned slightly.

The chief general of Shangguan's family is named 'Xi Quan', he is at the fifth rank, and he is one of the top ten masters in the county except Yiying Martial Arts Hall.

However, this person used to practice evil skills in the past, taking the hearts of eighteen babies to make medicines, forcibly breaking the shackles of inferior secret medicines, breaking through to the fifth rank, and committing a heinous crime.

This person was supposed to be executed six years ago, but was saved by Shangguan Shenhao who used someone else to take the place of his death.

The name of the third seat is 'Yue Wei', he was cultivated to the sixth rank, and he was also a gangster who committed several bloody crimes.

These two have always been the most powerful generals under Shangguan Shenhao's command.

Once the government resumes their pursuit of the two, not only will the Shangguan family be burdened, but Shangguan Shenhao will also lose his arm.

Longheng then changed his expression slightly, got up and took a book from the housekeeper.

"Is this the God of Martial Arts machine released today?"

The first thing Longheng looked at was the Qingyun List.

He found Chu Xisheng's name at No. 60 on the Qingyun List.

Long Heng continued to flip through, and in the last few pages of "On Martial God Machine * Dongzhou Chronicle", he found the article "Youth Overlord Sword Chu Xisheng".

Dongzhou Lunwu Building obviously regards this article as the finale.

Longheng looked at the article carefully, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

——Chu Xisheng became famous because of him, the Long family!

"Patriarch, the Lunwu Building has delayed the release of this issue of Lunwu Shenji for two hours."

The butler explained with a serious face: "When it was released, all bookstores were looted. It is said that the Lunwu Building stocked 20 volumes in Xiushui County, but they were sold out in just half an hour. From this, it can be seen that Chu Xisheng reputation in my county."

Long Heng and Shangguan Shenhao looked at each other, their faces were slightly blue.

This was another thing that bothered them. Chu Xisheng's high reputation was climbed up by stepping on their Long family and Shangguan family.

This person is respected by countless low-level martial artists now, so he can't ignore it.
