Chapter 505 The outcome is already divided, Yi Xiaotian is defeated?
Chapter 505: The outcome has been decided, Yi Xiaotian lost?
Creaking, creaking——
Because of the silence in the venue, the sound of someone gnashing their teeth could be clearly heard.
The title deed Yi Xiaotian threw over included the title deeds of all the mountains and forests around Xiangyang within a hundred miles, including the Cai and Ma families.
And if Yi Xiaotian can take half of these land deeds at will, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the family.
Before Ma Liang and others could take action, Yi Xiaotian rushed to give them a chase.
Yi Xiaotian made a move without any routine, and suddenly deceived the Xiangyang nobles who had previously vowed to show Yi Xiaotian's beauty.
"This...what should we do?"
"I... if my Luo family loses the salt well on the top of the mountain... wouldn't it mean that the foundation is lost?"
Luo Meng, the head of the Luo family, is the most anxious. His Luo family has a short history and has developed over five generations. The reason why it has become one of the nine major families so quickly is mainly due to the profits made from smuggling salt.
Especially in this area, because of Liu Biao, the Luo family has achieved unprecedented development, and salt wells have been opened one after another. Seeing that the Luo family's prosperity is about to make the Luo family one of the most famous families in the entire Jiangnan.
Noble family, at this juncture, Yi Xiaotian - bang - very quickly, Luo Meng was soon at a loss.
Luo Meng's panicked tone infected almost everyone present.
Xi Ming from the Xi family, Zhang Jian from the Zhang family, Wang Huan from the Wang family, and of course Cai Cheng and Ma Liang.
"Master Yi... I advise you not to bully others too much. You know... there are things on the mountain that you shouldn't touch..."
Ma Liang's voice became extremely dangerous. The most fertile hills near Xiangyang, Fanshan and Xiangshan, were under the control of the Ma family and the Cai family respectively - Xiangshan not to mention, the Cai family has been able to stand in Xiangyang for so many years.
Salt, iron, and precious medicinal materials have contributed to the growth of the Cai family.
And Fanshan——
Ma Liang watched as Yi Xiaotian picked up a land deed seemingly casually from the ground. However, the land deed was written in black and white, and even had stamps drawn on it. Everywhere showed that this was what Ma Liang had signed on behalf of the Ma family.
That title deed——
"Master Yi!"
Ma Liang warned again, he knew it was the land deed of Fanshan.
And Fanshan... has the best refined salt wells in the entire Xiangyang, no, even the entire Jiangnan region of Jingzhou, and its annual profits are even equal to half of the profits of all other industries of the Ma family.
Yi Xiaotian didn't seem to care about Ma Liang's threat at all. He just picked his ears, and then said calmly:
"I'm a very clean person and won't hesitate to touch things stained with blood, so you should feel relieved, right?"
"Liu Cong?"
Yi Xiaotian casually belittled the shameless behavior of Ma Liang and others back then, but what Yi Xiaotian really wanted to do was to defeat them in another more murderous way. This had already been in his mind
There is already a complete plan.
Liu Cong, who was summoned, rolled out of the house very quickly like a dogleg.
Following Yi Xiaotian's instructions, he returned the land deeds intact to the family heads. The family heads looked at them in a daze - what is this going on?
Soon someone discovered that these land deeds thrown out by Yi Xiaotian were not actually all land deeds. If they had time to recall carefully, they would find... all the land deeds thrown out by Yi Xiaotian were not all land deeds.
One exception:
First of all, it is rich in mineral resources, most of which are still being exploited by various companies.
Secondly, the mountains where the so-called refined salt wells are located are also included - and most of these mountains were obtained by various families through some shady means.
And the rest…
Ma Liang smiled:
"After all, you, Yi Xiaotian, are still scared."
He smiled lowly, but in his heart his evaluation of Yi Xiaotian was infinitely lower.
He originally thought that Yi Xiaozhen would fight them head-on to the end, but he did not expect that Yi Xiaozhen would not touch any of the mountainous areas that were extremely important to each family.
However, Yi Xiaotian finally relied on the remaining land deeds to create a barren and desolate mountainous area. The only commendable thing was that there were several coarse salt mines in the barren mountain area.
After everyone heard Ma Liang's words, they gradually began to laugh at Yi Xiaotian for nothing more than that.
However, Yi Xiaotian turned around and left. When he was about to enter the door and disappear into the shadows, Yi Xiaotian said in an excited tone that everyone was puzzled by:
"Fear?"
"I have never been afraid of the word fear in my life."
"But you... Xiang must have noticed that I, Yi Xiaotian, plan to do some business in salt and iron recently..."
Yi Xiaotian turned half back, showed a meaningful smile, and said to the people celebrating the victory:
"I hope you won't forget today's laughter when the time comes. This may very well be... the last time you laugh out loud."
"see a visitor out!"
After listening to Yi Xiaotian's instructions, Liu Cong's instinct was aroused. He shrank his neck and head, smiled awkwardly and made a 'please' gesture to everyone——
On the other hand, looking at the group of people around Ma Liang, they all smiled at each other and felt that Yi Xiaotian just wanted to get back some ground for himself, so he said such words that sounded cruel but were actually quite weak.
Everyone dispersed in joy, Ma Liang also sneered and no longer looked in the direction of Yi Xiaotian.
He felt that the outcome was decided, and Yi Xiaotian would soon have to pay the price he deserved.
Only Huang Chengyan stood at the threshold, hesitant as to whether he should go forward and ask...
——
Time flies by quickly, and the bustle of the day is a reflection of the leisurely evening.
Liu Cong had a tense day, but Yi Xiaotian didn't really make him suffer much. On the contrary, before leaving, he even praised Liu Cong's sensibleness.
Liu Congtan smiled and sent Yi Xiaotian out.
It wasn't until those "iron armored men" had left the Prefectural Mufu Mansion that Liu Cong sat down on the ground.
"Lord Zhou Mu, have a good rest. Yi will come to visit you another day!"
hiss--
Suddenly, Liu Cong heard a call from outside the door, and felt a chill running down his spine, as if he was having an illness. He didn't know how many things were pressed against the door, as if this would prevent Yi Xiaotian from coming back again.
——
On the other side, Yi Xiaotian went out and led his temporary bodyguards slowly towards the outside of the city.
The land deed has been finalized, and the heads of the aristocratic families have no objection at all. For example, Yi Xiaotian chose the wilderness, they just gave it to them, and they thought it was okay to give it to Yi Xiaotian for free.
Only Yi Xiaotian knows how many treasures are contained in that seemingly deserted place that can stir up the situation in Xiangyang and even the entire Jiangnan——
But halfway along the way, a panting sound suddenly came from behind Yi Xiaotian.
"Yi...Zhuang Yi! Wait...wait a minute, old man..."
Looking back, I saw Huang Chengyan catching up with him out of breath.
Yi Xiaotian was confused, what is this old guy going to do?
