Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 260 Fighting with people is a lot of fun, but watching people fight is even better

Qin family mansion.

Qin Wei was holding a pair of invitation cards, thoughtful.

An invitation card from Liu Hua, the capital commander of the Empress Shenwu, invited him, the Patriarch of the Qin family, to attend a banquet in the government office tonight to discuss matters concerning the protection of the garrison of Fushan City.

For such an inexplicable invitation, Qin Wei was a little confused, not knowing what this clever Liu Hua was going to do.

"What do you think this guy wants to do?"

Qin Wei asked Zhao Gao beside him.

Zhao Gao also couldn't understand Liu Hua's mind, in fact, Liu Hua's mind was too strange.

"It shouldn't be a good thing," he said.

The corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled up slightly, "That's natural. This Lord Dutong is obviously not a kind person."

"Does the young man want to go?"

Qin Wei nodded, and said, "Of course I'm going. This is the first time this young master has shown his face outside. How could such a good opportunity be missed?"

Qin Wei didn't care what Liu Hua's purpose was, he just wanted to fully integrate himself into this place, so that all the wealthy families in Fushan City accepted his existence.

"Xiao Shunzi, get ready."

Qin Wei ordered.

"Here!" Xiao Shunzi replied.

……

dusk.

Fushan City Government Office was full of excitement.

A large number of soldiers and servants were busy in the yamen, they decorated with lanterns and festoons, as if someone was going to hold a wedding.

And as the sky became darker and darker, the wealthy families in the city arrived one after another.

For the wealthy families in Fushan City, Liu Hua's face is still very big.

One is because Liu Hua was born in the Liu family in Kyoto, and the other is because Liu Hua is in charge of the Shenwu Empress Army. Such a mission with background, strength, and military power, the nobles in Fushan City naturally dare not despise it, and are even very jealous.

With the decline of the Qin family and the destruction of the Nan family, the remaining wealthy families in Fushan City are basically third-rate wealthy families. There is not even a strong person in the Jingzhao state, only a few innate three-level warriors to support the scene.

Qin Wei also came to Fuya in a carriage. On the way, he observed the current Fushan City.

At this time, five days had passed since the red scarf thieves rebelled. There were still many burnt ruins in the city, and the streets were full of poor people.

The life of these people was not easy at first, Fukuyama City and Fukuyama Port were destroyed again, and became extremely depressed. The originally prosperous port was completely shut down, and it was difficult for the poor people to find a job.

Although some people got some property by stealing or robbing during the riots of the red scarf thieves, they could not spend the money, because almost all the shops in the city were closed and closed, and even the basic daily necessities were seldom sold.

Under such circumstances, the life of ordinary people in the city is even more difficult.

In the carriage, Qin Wei said to Xiao Shunzi next to him: "When you go back, let all the shops of the Qin family open immediately."

The Qin family has quite a few shops in the city, but the red scarf thieves made trouble, and the Qin family's shops were also looted, and a lot of supplies were lost. Without goods, the Qin family's shops would naturally not open.

But a wealthy family is a wealthy family, no matter how much they lose, there are always some reserves. Although those reserves cannot change the entire Fukuyama City, at least they can alleviate it a little.

Xiao Shunzi responded and kept this matter in mind.

Afterwards, Qin Wei got out of the carriage.

Looking at the mansion decorated with lights and festoons, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth twitched slightly.

In more than ten days, this will be his yamen, and now someone actually puts up lanterns and festoons here, doing such inexplicable things, Qin Wei feels somewhat dissatisfied.

Now, he has regarded the government office and the entire Fushan City as his territory.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, but followed a soldier of the Shenwu Empress Army into the government office.

When he came to the government office lobby, the wealthy families in Fushan City were basically all present.

It's just that Qin Wei didn't know these people well, and didn't communicate with them, he just sat in his seat.

This banquet is a meal-sharing system, that is, each person has a small dining table.

The position of the guest should be arranged by the strength of the family.

After the destruction of the Nan family, the remaining dozen or so powerful families in Fushan City basically came, and Qin Wei, the head of the Qin family, was at the end.

The location near the door.

This is also normal. The Qin family has declined greatly in the past ten years, from a second-rate wealthy family to a third-rate wealthy family. When the red scarf bandits rebelled, the Qin family suffered the most serious losses except the Nan family.The innate masters in the clan were basically lost. If it wasn't for the fact that the Qin family still had some background, they might have fallen out of the ranks of the wealthy clan.

This time Liu Huaneng invited the Qin family because he liked the background of the Qin family.

His goal was money, and a rich family like the Qin family, who had no strength but had a lot of money, was undoubtedly his best target.

Qin Wei sat quietly in his seat, not caring about these side details, he just wanted to see what the wealthy family in Fushan City looked like, and also wanted to meet this smart Lord Dutong.

But he was quiet, but other people in the hall looked at him and talked a lot.

"Is that the new head of the Qin family?"

"So young?"

"It seems that the Qin family is really about to fall."

"Yes, it is said that the Qin family suffered a great loss this time, and almost all the masters in the family were killed by the red scarf thieves!"

……

A group of people discussed in low voices, with sympathy, disdain, and some malicious intentions.

Compassion is false, malice is true.

At this time, Qin Wei was like a child holding a gold ingot on the street, and everyone was coveting the gold ingot in his arms.

The more the Qin family declines, the more people and forces will covet the Qin family.

It's just that no one knows that the Qin family at this time is no longer the previous Qin family.

The fat sheep in their eyes is a beast with fangs hidden.

While everyone was discussing, Liu Hua walked into the lobby wearing an exquisite brocade robe.

Everyone stood up one after another, bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Dutong!"

Liu Hua looked at everyone with a smile, and the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright.

"I have seen you, the Patriarchs!"

"Patriarchs, please sit down!"

"Hehe, it's really rude to invite you here rashly, I hope you will forgive me!"

Although Liu Hua has evil intentions, this guy's superficial skills are still very good.

After everyone was seated, he showed an approachable look and chatted with everyone, and the atmosphere in the lobby became lively for a while.

Pushing the cups and exchanging cups, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Even Qin Wei couldn't help praising this guy for being amazing.

However, the harmonious atmosphere only lasted for half an hour. After drinking for three rounds, Liu Hua finally showed his greedy fangs.

"Everyone, in order to prevent the red scarf thieves from coming to Fukuyama City again, this general has decided to station [-] soldiers in Fukuyama City to guard the safety of Fukuyama City."

He said with a smile.

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other, and then said: "Your Excellency, Du Tong, understands righteousness deeply, and this is our blessing."

They were also afraid that the red scarf thieves would come to Fushan City again. Although those red scarf thieves would not directly attack them, Fushan City was in chaos, and they lost a lot of money and goods, and even many shops were burned down by the rioters.

If there are soldiers from the Shenwu Empress Army stationed there, then they will have an extra guarantee of security, so they naturally have no reason not to be unwilling.

It's just that Liu Hua's next words made them feel as uncomfortable as eating shit.

"Haha, it's fine if you don't have any opinions."

"Of course there is no problem with the garrison, but it will cost a lot for the army to go out of the camp. Therefore, the military expenses need the support of the family heads."

"The general doesn't want much, just 10 taels of silver per family."

"Haha, what do you Patriarchs think?"

Liu Hua had no intention of continuing to hide, and said bluntly.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

None of them thought that Liu Hua would ask them for money.

For a moment, the lobby fell into dead silence, and everyone looked at Liu Hua strangely.

What do you mean?
let us take money?
This is robbery?

Are you kidding, dare to rob us?
Everyone's eyes became unkind.

They are a wealthy family, and they are not a wealthy family, but a wealthy family in the entire Fukuyama City.

You, Liu Hua, are powerful. You were born in the Liu family in Kyoto, and you have tens of thousands of troops in your hands. But do you think that we, the wealthy family in Fushan City, are easy to mess with?
The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

Do you really think that we are fish and meat at the mercy of others?
For a moment, everyone's complexions became gloomy and cold, and the atmosphere in the lobby also became dignified, and it was no longer lively and harmonious as before.

Qin Wei looked at Liu Hua with interest.

This guy is really interesting, actually thinking of blackmailing these wealthy families.

Indeed, these rich families in Fukuyama City are all third-rate rich families, far inferior to the Liu family in Kyoto in terms of strength, but rich families are rich families, they have a lot of wealth, a large number of warriors, and they also control many industries.

Let them do things, they may not be able to do many things, but let them do bad things, as long as they are willing, they can make you unable to do anything in Fukuyama City, or even the entire Beiyuan Island.

They are the ones who are talking about not enough success but more failure.

Qin Wei didn't even know what Liu Hua was thinking, that he would come to blackmail these wealthy families.

"What's the matter? Do you want my soldiers to guard Fushan City hungry?" Liu Hua said with a half-smile.

The fierce look in his eyes was undisguised.

Everyone in the hall looked gloomy, but there was no sign of fear.

An old man in a blue brocade robe stood up and said, "I still have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first!"

After all, he turned and left without giving Liu Hua any chance to speak.

This old man is the patriarch of the Lu family in Fushan City, and the Lu family should be the most powerful family in Fushan City today.

In the past, the Nan family was there, and it was not their Lu family's turn to take the lead, but now that the Nan family has been destroyed, their Lu family has become the leader of the wealthy family in Fushan City.

"Stop!" Liu Hua shouted sharply.

The head of the Lu family walked to the entrance of the lobby, stopped, looked back at Liu Hua, and said coldly: "What? Do you still want to keep the old man?"

Just now Liu Hua and him had a very pleasant conversation, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them looked at each other like sworn enemies.

"Old man, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine!" Liu Hua said with a gloomy expression.

Obviously, he was also angry.

He thought that as long as he asked, these guys would obediently offer up the money, but he didn't expect that these guys would not give him any face.

In fact, he is not to blame for this. He was born in a wealthy family in Kyoto, so naturally he does not understand the mentality of the local wealthy families.

There is an essential difference between the local rich family and the wealthy family in Kyoto.

The wealthy clan in Kyoto relied on the court, and most of the children of the clan held official positions in the court. Their struggles also revolved around official positions and power. Although they also had some industries, they valued their status and power in the court more.

However, the rich families in the local area valued the property in their hands. The Luofu Dynasty was in chaos, and the rich families in the local area were also one of the root causes of the chaos. uncomfortable.

Li Hua didn't understand the rich families in the area, and he used the ideas of the rich families in Kyoto to deal with the rich families in the area, which was simply asking for embarrassment.

The Patriarch of the Lu family smiled disdainfully, "Master Dutong can do whatever he can, and the old man will follow."

After all, he left directly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall got up and left one after another.

Qin Wei glanced at the gloomy Li Hua, and followed them.

A lively banquet ended like this.

On the way back, Qin Wei sat in the carriage and was in a very good mood.

After watching a good show, his mood will naturally not be bad, and the next good show makes him look forward to it even more.

The battle between Li Hua and Fushan City has just begun, Li Hua absolutely cannot swallow this breath, and the wealthy family of Fushan City is not a role that everyone can manipulate.

The battle between them will definitely become more and more interesting.

Fighting with people is a lot of fun, and watching people fight is even better.

On the surface, the Qin family can be considered a part of the wealthy family, but Qin Wei doesn't see it that way.

He doesn't want to be a wealthy family, what he wants is the entire Luofu Dynasty.

But for the dynasty, the existence of the wealthy family is harmful but not beneficial.

Dali also has many powerful families, such as the former Situ family of Beiyuan City and the former Lu family of Nanmu City. Although they lost their original status, they are still powerful family forces in Dali.

Another example is the Li family represented by Li Xun, and there are some forces similar to Zongmen.

But no matter how powerful they are, they must submit to the court and serve the court. Qin Wei absolutely does not allow them to influence the court.

But what about the Luofu Dynasty?
In front of the rich family, government offices in various places are just a display, and officials from all over the country are not even a fart in front of the rich family.

In local affairs, the attitude of the wealthy family is more effective than the attitude of the government.

And once Qin Wei became the magistrate of Fushan City, he would naturally stand on the opposite side of these wealthy families.

So these people Liu Hua created today will do him no harm.

They fight first, no matter who wins or loses, Qin Wei can take advantage of it.

After they finished fighting, Qin Wei will fight again with these powerful clans.

Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Wei's face became brighter.

This feeling is really good, a little exciting, and full of fighting passion.

"Tsk tsk, I haven't felt like this for a long time!"

Qin Wei muttered to himself.

Since he became the emperor and empress, no one seemed to dare to fight with him, not even to say a word of rebuttal.It took a lot of the fun out of him.

Now that he came to the Luofu Dynasty, he seemed to have found the fun he had before.
