Chapter 419: The anxious Lu family and Song family
Chapter 419 The Anxious Lu Family and Song Family
Just after noon, in the Xia family's courtyard, the meeting hall!
The clan leader, Xia Feilong, urgently summoned all the clan elders to the meeting hall to discuss matters, because Xia Yan had just received a letter from Ziye City. The content of the letter was very brief, with only one sentence, and asked Xia Feilong to 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 entire business in Yushui City, it is still just a family in the county. If the Xia family arrives in Ziye City, it will be a family in the main city. The difference between the two is huge!
"Chief, what happened?"
"You are so anxious to let us come over. Could it be that something big happened in the family?"
Several elders arrived at the meeting hall, and the sixth elder looked at the clan leader Xia Feilong who was the first to ask.
In recent times, the Xia family has held elders' meetings more frequently. Some time ago, because of the Xi family, the Xia family often held elders' meetings to discuss countermeasures. But now the situation has been determined. The Xi family is finished, and the development of the Xia family is back on track.
The business was booming. At this time, the clan leader hurriedly summoned everyone, and everyone was a little strange.
"Xia Yan, I went to Ziye City a few days ago!" Xia Feilong didn't immediately say what he was calling everyone for, but he mentioned 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 everyone, there was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were bright.
"It is very difficult for an outsider to enter Ziye City. Although Xia Yan is the master of Yushui City, Ziye City is the main city. In the temple, Xia Yan may not be able to say anything!" said the Great Elder Xia Lai.
He raised his eyebrows.
Although Xia Yan said in front of all the elders at that time 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 was in the temple, and neither of the two temple deacons were. Everyone knew that the hall master of Yushui City was not a temple deacon.
Therefore, everyone was not in a hurry to prepare for this matter. In their opinion, this matter required a long process.
"Yes, the great elder is right. Our Xia family is just a county family. If we want to be among the main city families, there are many difficulties. There are more than twenty county cities in Ziye City, and each county city
There are several families similar to our Xia family. I think all these families want to be in the main city."
"But this is not easy!" Xia Feilong took a breath, stood up from his seat, looked around at the people sitting on both sides of the long table, and gently pressed his palms on the long purple table.
The meeting hall was very quiet, and everyone could hear Xia Feilong's breathing.
"If our Xia family didn't have Xia Yan, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to be among the families in the main city in ten or a hundred years. Although we all want to be among the families in the main city, this is just a thought." Xia Feilong continued.
One sentence.
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 Xia family's entry.
Regarding Ziye City, since Xia Yan said this, he must have set up a connection for our Xia family in Ziye City."
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
Several elders exclaimed one after another and talked to each other in disbelief.
"Xia Yan went 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.
, Lu family, these four families are extremely powerful, is there any way Xia Yan can convince these four families to let our Xia family enter Ziye City?"
"Yes! Did Xia Yan make things too simple?" The seventh elder glanced at the two elders beside him, then looked at Xia Feilong, and sighed slightly.
"Clan leader, you might as well go and take a look!" Xia Changhe's breath sank, and his voice sounded clearly in the meeting hall.
"Haha, 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, in this case, the third elder will come with me to Ziye City in a while.
Ask the chief steward, Mr. Bai Hua, to come with us."
"Great Elder, you and the other 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 did not 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 going to Ziye City.
Check out the city.
"Elders, you should also be prepared." Xia Feilong said, "Once I come back from Ziye City, I may have to start moving the Xia family."
"Haha, actually I believe Xia Yan has already pulled the strings, otherwise he wouldn't have written this letter to me." Xia Feilong smiled.
Although he couldn't figure out what methods Xia Yan used, Xia Feilong believed in Xia Yan in his heart.
…………
Inside the Lu family’s residence!
"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 responsible for managing the family's outer courtyard, which was the family's business.
Just now, this elder brought a piece of news to Lu Xiangpo.
"Kaiyuan Trading Company and Minghe Shanghe are not only unwilling to continue to provide us with goods, but are also collecting 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 various goods to our family, and they also sent people to collect some previous debts. Their attitude was very tyrannical." The elder of the Lu family also said angrily.
"hateful……"
"Don't they want to continue doing business with our Lu family? We, the Lu family, have been purchasing goods from their trading firm in recent years. They don't want to make money if they have money?"
"What the hell happened!" Lu Xiangpo almost roared, clenching his fists, and the veins on his arms bulged high.
A solemn aura filled the entire room.
"Clan leader, is there someone obstructing this? Our opponents want to use this method to knock down the Lu family!" The elder looked up at Lu Xiangpo and lowered his voice.
"Who has such great influence? Impossible! In Ziye City, there is no force that can make these two trading houses make such a decision!" Lu Xiangpo shook his head, his eyes flashing fiercely.
He said it was impossible, but he was also doubting in his heart and guessing who it could be.
If it weren't for some mischief, those two businesses would never have done this.
It was obvious that these two trading houses no longer planned to continue doing business with the Lu family.
In the past ten years, these two trading houses have been the main sources of goods for the Lu family, and the cooperation has always been smooth.
"Clan leader!"
At this time, a voice sounded outside.
"Come in." Lu Xiangpo said in a deep voice to the outside.
From outside the door, a descendant of the Lu family came in. He was a steward of the outer courtyard and was responsible for some of the Lu family's business.
"Patriarch, West Sichuan Auction House, Donglong Auction House..." The steward was slightly out of breath and spoke quickly. He named several auction houses in succession, "These auction houses all refused to continue to cooperate with our Lu family.
Went down."
"I personally went to ask them for the reason, but they didn't give any explanation, and their attitude was arrogant!" the deacon said with some resentment.
"Not only that, recently several shipments of goods delivered by our Lu family to the counties below were actually robbed by bandits. These bandits are becoming more and more courageous now, and they even dare to attack our Lu family's goods."
"This is a conspiracy!" Lu Xiangpo interrupted the steward before he finished speaking.
"Understood!" Lu Xiangpo exhaled, "This is obviously aimed at our Song family. But I don't know what kind of force it is with such great energy. None of the Dong family, Qi family, or Song family can do this.
The situation!"
Lu Xiangpo quickly analyzed in his mind, but he never found a suitable suspect. The targets were eliminated one by one, and he found that in the end he did not find the target he wanted.
"Patriarch, what should our Lu family do now?" The elder was also a little anxious. The Lu family has not encountered such a situation for a long time. There was some friction with the Su family in Purple Leaf City some time ago, but that is not the case.
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!
"Gather all the elders to discuss matters!" Lu Xiangpo said through gritted 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 had happened. Some forces that had been cooperating for a long time were suddenly and inexplicably interrupted.
cooperate.
Moreover, many forces are also pursuing 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 any obvious signs and remained as calm as ever. But the calmer the surface is, the waves hidden under the calm may be
The more turbulent it becomes.
A line connected through Xia Yan was waiting for the best opportunity, and then suddenly launched a strike to severely damage the enemy. When this opportunity came, they needed to wait for Xia Yan's notification.
"Haha, we finally arrived at Ziye City."
A voice came from a black carriage that slowly drove into Ziye City.
There were eight people sitting in the spacious compartment of this carriage. Xia Feilong, the head of the Xia family, Xia Changhe, the third elder, Bai Hua, Xia Liu, a descendant of the Xia family who had just entered the innate realm, and four skilled guards of the Xia family
.
"Here we are, Xia Yan asked us to go to the temple to find him after arriving in Ziye City." Xia Feilong sat in the carriage, "Car driver, go to the temple in Ziye City."
"Does Xia Yan live in the temple? Isn't this a right that only the temple master has?" Xia Changhe raised his brows and said in a confused tone.
"I don't know, but since Xia Yan asked us to go to the temple in Purple Leaf City to find 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.
