Looking at the dilapidated front door of the Meng family, Cao Xuan's expression was very complicated. If he hadn't been forced to do so, he really didn't want to be here.
"Minister Cao, we're here, please knock on the door."
Listening to the words of his colleagues, Cao Xuan did not act. After a while, he hesitated and said: "I think we should discuss it again. After all, the Meng family has made a lot of contributions to the country."
"It is true that the Meng family has contributed to the country, but the current status of the Meng family is no longer suitable for living in Baoshan. This was decided at a meeting at the top."
An old man next to Cao Xuan flatly rejected Cao Xuan's suggestion. This time they came to inform the Meng family to move out of Baoshan.
"But don't forget the relationship between the Meng family and Qin Guoshi. If Qin Guoshi comes back and learns that the Meng family has been driven out of Baoshan, how will Qin Guoshi feel?"
In desperation, Cao Xuan could only mention the legendary figure in his heart again.
"Qin Yu is already in the past. Besides, the world of metaphysics no longer exists. How can there be any national master? Moreover, our country now has six powerful Earth Immortals. If Qin Yu really comes back, the worst thing will be done by then.
Just a little compensation from the Meng family."
The old man didn't take Cao Xuan's words to heart. He had to drive the Meng family out of Baoshan this time. The reason was very simple. A powerful Earth Immortal from the top fell in love with Baoshan, and the only family in Baoshan was the Meng family.
There is currently no strong Earth Immortal, so he is the best target.
Cao Xuan looked at his companions. How could he not know that in his companions' hearts, the top leaders of the country were already controlled by these cultivating families, and even he was pushed to a marginalized position.
Li family.
There is currently a family that is the latest to rise to the top. Because the family has two powerful Earth Immortals, it has a lot of power in the top ranks of the country.
As a newly wealthy family, the Li family naturally wants to own all their own mansions in Baoshan. For no other reason than Baoshan is a symbol of status.
"Since Minister Cao is unwilling to knock on the door, let me do it."
A middle-aged man behind the old man beside Cao Xuan sneered, walked up to the Meng family gate, and then punched the gate.
Bang!
The door cracked and a hole appeared, and at the same time several roars sounded in the courtyard.
"Who is acting recklessly in front of my Meng family?"
"Destroying the gate of my Meng family is simply asking for death."
More than five or six figures quickly appeared in front of the gate. However, when they saw Cao Xuan and the other two old men standing outside the gate, these six people were all stunned.
"Minister Cao, what's going on?"
Meng Yan looked at Cao Xuan with a look of confusion on his face. The Meng family was an official family after all, so they were no strangers to Cao Xuan. They also knew the other two old men, both of whom were leaders of the national cultivation department.
"Ahem, Meng Yan, is your father here?"
Cao Xuan coughed. Facing Meng Yan, he really couldn't say anything like asking the Meng family to move out of Baoshan, but he knew very well that if he didn't come this time, if the Meng family refused to carry out the plan, then the two people around him would be in trouble.
A colleague would be very violent towards the Meng family.
Therefore, he had to come again, because no matter what, he could not see the Meng family destroyed. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the stalwart figure he had always remembered in his heart, the legendary Master Qin.
"Minister Cao, you just need to contact my father directly in advance. Why did you come to tear down the door of my Meng family?"

However, Meng Yan also knew that the Meng family was currently weak, so although he was full of anger, he still suppressed it, and even looked at the clan members behind him not to be impulsive, and said coldly: "My father is resting in the backyard, Minister Cao, you guys
If you want to find my father, you can come with me."
"Minister Cao!"
However, at this time, the old man beside Cao Xuan spoke, as if to remind Cao Xuan not to forget the purpose of this time.
"Don't worry, I will go and communicate with Brother Meng Fang, just wait for me."
After leaving these words, Cao Xuan followed Meng Yan towards the backyard. Along the way, he had already made up his mind to persuade Meng Fang to lead the Meng family to move out of here no matter what. He had even helped.
The Meng family has found a place to live, also in the center of the capital.
"Hey, Brother Cao, how come you have time to come to Humble House, and why don't you inform me in advance when you want to come?"
In the backyard, a man with white hair on his temples but a strong spirit was taking care of a potted plant. When he saw Cao Xuan coming in, he put down the scissors in his hand, and then yelled at Meng Yan: "What's going on? Your uncle Cao is here."
I know how to make tea."
"What kind of tea are you making? The front door of our house is about to be demolished." Meng Yan curled his lips and replied with a gloomy face.
Meng Fang's expression was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated. He glanced at Cao Xuan. When he saw the guilty look on Cao Xuan's face, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little lonely.
"It must have been decided by the higher ups. Why, can it be that our Meng family can't even keep what we have now?"
"Brother Fang, look at it a little bit. You can keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. A temporary concession is nothing. With the foundation of the Meng family, they will come back sooner or later."
Cao Xuan knew that Meng Fang had already guessed the reason for his visit. After all, he was once a high-level official in the country and could see many things at a glance.
Meng Fang was silent for a long time, and Cao Xuan did not urge him, because he believed that Meng Fang would make the right choice. Meng Yan, on the other hand, looked anxious because he didn't know what kind of riddle his father and Cao Xuan would play again.
.
After a long time, Meng Fang seemed to have become much older, without the previous vitality. He turned to Meng Yan and said, "If the announcement is made, all the Meng family members should pack their belongings and move out of here within three days."
"Dad, what did you say!"
Meng Yan was stunned when he heard this, while Cao Xuan on the side hesitated for a moment. Although it was too cruel to say this, he knew that he had to say it.
"Brother Fang, the boss only gave me one day."
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Meng Fang's mouth, and his whole body was shaking. Upon seeing this, Cao Xuan and Meng Yan quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Cao Xuan, you are going too far."
Meng Yan supported his father and cursed angrily at Cao Xuan, but was immediately stopped by Meng Fang.
"Brother Cao is not to blame for this matter. If it weren't for Brother Cao, I'm afraid the people who appear here now are those from the Cultivation Office."
The Cultivation Office, a cultivator department under the state, has great power, and its leader is a strong person at the level of an Earth Immortal.
Cao Xuan smiled bitterly. He really couldn't say anything about the people from the monastery office being at the door anymore because he was afraid that Meng Fang wouldn't be able to bear the blow. This time, the senior officials were really too ruthless towards the Meng family.
And the driving force behind all this comes from the Li family!
