Chapter 394: Enemies meet on a narrow road, spend money to eliminate disasters
Xu Mansion is located at the east gate of Yecheng.
Speaking of which, the most powerful wealthy clans in Jizhou all live in Yecheng.
The most powerful people in Yecheng lived on this East Street.
Even a family like the Zhen family, which is both a high-ranking official and a businessman, is still not qualified to live here.
When you step into the East Street of Yecheng, you will see a dazzling array of pavilions and beautiful buildings, which are full of generosity.
There is no doubt that Xu Mansion is the most luxurious one among them...
I heard that originally the Xu Mansion was not so impressive, just because Xu You helped Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu and made great contributions. Now the tide has risen, and even the entire Xu family has risen to heaven. The gate of the Xu Mansion alone is
It is built to be five feet high. Even the Chongde Hall of Xu Ducheng Palace is probably not as luxurious and grand.
Cao Xiong led a convoy with gold hidden in the convoy and rushed to the gate of Xu's mansion... Without letting anyone pass the news, Cao Xiong stepped forward on his own initiative.
Naturally, someone from the Xu Mansion stopped him.
"Where did the white body come from? Go aside, don't you know where this is? Don't you know who the owner of this place is?"
Dogs fight against human power...
Xu You's rise to power also made everyone in the Xu family, including the servants, become arrogant. Even if they were just a member of the family, they would turn their nostrils upward when talking to others, simply arrogant.
"I am Yi Xiaotian, the owner of Youjian Villa. I want to see Mr. Xu. Please go and tell me that I, Yi Xiaotian, want to buy the Xu family's 'Broken Finger Mountain'!" Yi Xiaotian did not shy away and shouted directly.
road.
…
Inside the Xu Mansion.
Xu You got up early and walked around the Queen of Birds. He looked very energetic.
He stretched out his hand, and naturally a servant handed him a string of Buddhist beads carved from precious jade. The White Horse Temple of the Han Dynasty had just been established, and Xu You was considered arty and studied Buddhism...
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that holding such a bunch of jade beads in your hand is very classy and tasteful, and you can't help but feel a bit arrogant in your movements.
He really enjoys the way that everyone is afraid of him, but there is nothing they can do about him.
What is good at the top will be even better at the bottom...
For this reason, since Cao Cao captured Yecheng, the Xu family has been doing a lot of things.
When Yuan Shao was governing Yecheng, the Xu family was somewhat restrained, but now... it really feels like they are letting themselves go.
"Uncle..." Xu You's nephew Xu Yuan came to greet him early in the morning...
Seeing that it was Xu Yuan, Xu You leaned lazily on a bamboo chair and asked casually, "Did you buy Tailor Zhang's shop yesterday?"
"Uncle, my nephew is just trying to tell you about this!"
Xu Yuan immediately replied. "This tailor is a stubborn ass and wants to increase the price. I wonder who we are? How can we let him, a pariah, increase the price casually? So I sent someone to beat him up and put him
He beat him until he was bedridden, and then used his daughter to blackmail him and forced him to sign and sign... Hey, now the money we spent on Tailor Zhang's shop is less than 10% of the original price!"
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but smile. "Hey, this tailor, he just refuses to drink wine as a penalty, who can blame him!"
A lot of scolding…
Xu Yuan's words clearly explained the words "using one's power to bully others" and "doing evil".
But... after hearing this, Xu You nodded slowly, and then narrowed his eyes, seeming to appreciate Xu Yuan's approach. "Not bad, not bad... This matter was handled openly. Our Xu family wants to buy the land."
, whoever dares to stop the land for sale will be beaten like this, and will be beaten into a bear like Tailor Zhang."
Speaking of this, Xu You narrowed his eyes and smiled like a flower. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and then changed the topic.
"By the way, Broken Finger Mountain hasn't been sold yet?"
"Yes... it hasn't been sold yet!" Xu Yuan nodded, shook his head, and then sighed. "Oh, Broken Finger Mountain is really in trouble... Who in the whole Ye City doesn't know that this place can't grow food.
Barren mountain, why did our Xu family ancestors take a fancy to this mountain and spend a lot of money to buy it? Now we are in trouble, uncle, I am afraid this mountain is not easy to sell!"
"It's not easy to sell?"
Hearing this, Xu You stood up slowly...his eyes almost narrowed to a slit. "What's the status of our Xu family? What's the status of me, Xu You? When Cao Cao hosted a banquet for guests, I called him 'Ah Man'
', he has to suffer happily... In this Yecheng? Are there still things that I, Xu You, can't sell?"
Huh...a cold snort.
Xu You raised his hand, stroked his mustache, and immediately ordered, "It's better to sell it to the Zhen family for 50,000 gold. No other family can afford such a large sum of money."
"Haha... tell the Zhen family this time that he doesn't want this barren mountain? Even if the relationship between the Zhen family and our Xu family is settled, let him take care of himself!"
overbearing…
Xu You's words were very domineering, but in fact, he originally resented the Zhen family.
When the second daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Tuo, was engaged to Guo Jia, she almost pressed his face, his nephew's face, and the entire Xu family's face to the ground and rubbed it...
He had long wanted to bring bad luck to the Zhen family. This time he just gave them an opportunity to show their respect. If they didn't know how to show their respect, huh...Xu You would have to use some special destructive means.
"Uncle... How about we lower the price and buy a barren mountain for 50,000 gold? Isn't it a bit too high?" Xu Yuan reminded...
this…
Xu You thought for a moment, then waved his hand. "If you don't surrender, I won't surrender... I, Xu You, want to see if the Zhen family has the courage to reject me, Xu You, again!"
Huh... Another cold snort.
Although Xu You had a determined expression and a sense of awesomeness and lightning, he also had no idea... If the Zhen family really didn't want it, he wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, the last time the Zhen family got married, Xu You
But you saw the ability of that man named Yi Xiaotian...
If it was said that he had no backer, Xu You would not believe it. Who was the backer? After checking for so many days, Xu You could not find out.
However, this is not necessarily bad news. The failure to find out proves that the level of the backer is just that, mediocre, and it is not enough to shake Xu You's status in Yecheng and Cao Ying.
Thinking of this, Xu You raised his brows, licked his lips, and murmured in his heart, Yi's hatred for obstructing the marriage between his Xu family and Zhen family has not yet been calculated!
At this moment.
The door suddenly burst into the main hall. "Master, Young Master... Yi, the shopkeeper of Youjian Villa..."
Before he opens his mouth...
Xu You read out his name as if on conditioned reflex. "Yi Xiaotian? What happened to him? Did he commit a crime?"
In Xu You's heart, he always thinks about Yi Xiaotian's fault!
As he spoke, Xu You twirled his beard and looked sideways at the door.
The disciple answered hurriedly. "It's Yi Xiaotian...he...he came to our Xu Mansion. He said he wanted to meet the master, and also said he wanted to buy land? Buy the land of our Xu family's 'Broken Finger Mountain'."
What? Buying land?
As soon as these words came out, not only Xu You was stunned, but Xu Yuan was also stunned.
How fresh!
The uncle and nephew had tried so hard to sell the land, but Yi Xiaotian actually wanted to buy it? Could it be that his brain had been kicked by a donkey?
As soon as Menzi's words came out.
Xu Yuan then looked at Xu You, who was still thoughtful.
"Uncle? Since the other party came to the door on his own initiative? Let's... meet?" Xu Yuan asked tentatively. "We want to sell Duan Zhishan and he wants to buy it. Isn't this good!"
hiss…
Xu You, on the other hand, was silent for a long time with a scheming look before he spoke. "It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road... No, Yi must have realized that the Zhen Mansion offended our Xu family last time, so he wanted to come and apologize, no matter how much money he spent.
Eliminate disasters, hehe... if that's the case..."
All of a sudden, Xu You's eyes were filled with shining silver gold coins...
He said to himself, "I heard that this guy named Yi has villas in Yecheng, Chenliu, and Xudu. He is a big fat sheep... Hey, this time, I have to kill him hard."
, and let him know how much he will pay for offending our Xu family!"
Speaking of which…
Xu You waved his hand to the door. "Go, call him in, and bring him to me. I am waiting for him to kowtow and confess his sins, and spend money to eliminate disasters, hahahaha..."
Rampant laughter resounded throughout Xu Mansion, Xu You yawned, but still lay lazily on the bamboo chair, making a disdainful expression towards Yi Xiaotian.
It seems... everything is going according to plan.
This was what Xu You was thinking, and what Yi Xiaotian was thinking too.
