Chapter 324 The situation of the four major families
These five families, Wei, Chen, Bai, Wang, and Dai, were originally one of the control groups of White Jade City. They were also the most powerful vassal forces under Lingjian Sect. They were famous in White Jade City.
However, after the desert party, the five families weakened, and coupled with the suppression of the Lingjian Sect, in addition to the Wei family, the four families were removed from power in White Jade City. Without the ancestor of Lingguang, the four families became many forces.
A mouthful of fat.
The people in charge of the four families may not have this sense of crisis. However, they lack courage and means, but they are unable to turn the tide. There are many members of the four families, and the manpower below Daogang has not lost much, but there is no support from the ancestors of Lingguang.
The Zifu monks are not enough, even the Daogang Patriarch cannot support this situation.
But their expenditures have not been reduced at all, and the monthly salary of the clan members has not been reduced at all. If it were less, the already precarious family would collapse immediately, and they would even have to increase a lot of expenditures, such as giving gifts.
The leaders of the four families kept giving gifts to some of the senior leaders of the Spirit Sword Sect, hoping to find one or two backers for protection. Unfortunately, they made a completely wrong calculation and did not even find the right direction. It was the senior leaders of the Spirit Sword Sect who weakened them.
Giving them gifts is like beating a dog with a meat bun, and you will never come back.
As the ancestors of each family died, the remaining power of the family continued to decrease, and those covetous forces began to continuously encroach on the interests that originally belonged to the four families.
Among them, the Dai family and the Wang family are the worst, because their ancestors died directly in the desert, and the elite monks of the family were also destroyed. It has been a hundred years.
When the Spirit Sword Sect deprived them of their power in White Jade City, they became even more weak. Over the past few years, the Dai family and the Wang family had fewer and fewer monks in the White Jade City law enforcement department. Without the protection of these people, the two families would
There is no support for the shops anymore. Under the instructions of certain forces, each shop has suffered a commercial run and cannot make ends meet. Not to mention making money, they have to put in a lot of Xuan Jing every year.
It's okay inside Baiyu City, after all, it's bound by city regulations, but the territory outside the city is even worse. The two disciples are constantly being attacked, and they can't defend those territories at all. The operating costs are constantly rising, and every time Lingshan gains something, it needs to
A large number of troops were sent to guard and transport.
In the end, the two families had to shrink their power and sell Lingshan Mountain in the distance, but the sale was not smooth. No one from outside forces dared to buy it. Even if someone wanted to buy it, someone would say hello and threaten them not to buy it, but they could buy it.
Even if they join forces to lower the price, they can only sell it at a very low price.
With the shrinking power, the external environment of the two families is slightly better, and they have enough manpower to protect their only territory. Within the scope of the Spirit Sword Sect, those families cannot blatantly attack in large groups, so they are temporarily stable.
situation.
Next, the two families began to deal with internal affairs, but this required the superior leadership of the person in charge. The two families have existed for thousands of years, and their various relationships are complicated, and the interests involved are even more obscure. It will take a lot of money to straighten them out.
It takes a lot of effort, and it is even more difficult for them to train a spiritual light monk.
After the Wang family and the Dai family shrank their power, it was the turn of the Chen family and the Bai family. However, the two families were not willing to admit defeat, and those territories were unwilling to let go easily, so a new confrontation emerged.
·········
"Eight months ago, a spiritual mountain owned by the Bai family was attacked. The spiritual mountain was not breached, but six disciples were killed and seven injured."
"After half a month, a batch of fourth-level elixirs on a spiritual mountain in the Bai family matured and were stolen. One-third of the elixirs were lost. The Bai family's Tao Gang thundered and executed three Bai people.
A branch of the Bai family, who is in charge of Lingshan, announced that they were leaving the Bai family, and thirty-seven Bai family monks left with three thousand mortals."
"At the same time, a direct monk of the Chen family was framed and lost 1.3 million Xuanjing in the casino. The monk's parents and brothers broke the family to pay compensation."
"Six months ago, a twelfth-level monk from the Chen family's Purple Mansion failed to break through the Dao Gang. He died and the Dao disappeared. Traces of Huoxin Powder were found in the pills in his storage bag. It was suspected that he had been tampered with."
"Five and a half months ago, a married daughter of the Bai family committed suicide. It was said that the couple had a disagreement. According to investigation, there was another hidden secret. The truth is..."
"Four months ago, the engagement of Bai Jinzhi, the legitimate son of the Bai family, was broken off, and the other party was from Bai Yucheng..."
For a year, the Chen family and the Bai family were besieged by many forces. One thing happened after another, either there was an accident in the mine, or the Lingshan Mountain was attacked, and even some in-law families left one after another.
This attack is an all-encompassing attack.
The heads of the two families were exhausted, and these things had exhausted them mentally and physically. They had lost countless prestige and Xuanjing, as if the whole world was against them.
In the Baicheng Tower, Lin Xiao sat opposite Bai Zihua, who had an ugly face. Ye Xiao placed these messages in front of him, and Bai Zihua looked at them one by one.
"Master, I've finished reading."
“What do you want to say?”
"The storm is in turmoil, and there are enemies everywhere. The Bai family cannot be protected."
"It's not that fast. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Just look at the Dai family and the Wang family. It's just that the two brothers Bai Changqing and Bai Changming are too ambitious and refuse to let go. That's why the losses are so huge."
"Master, what can I do?"
"No, just watch. If this continues, in less than three years, the Bai family will be forced to abandon the surrounding spiritual mountains, shrink their power, and then sort out internal affairs like the Dai family, but the internal affairs methods of the two brothers Bai Changming and Bai Changqing
It's not clever, and if nothing happens, the Bai family will collapse in about ten years, and that's when you can really take action."
"Master, the Bai family was almost defeated at that time, so it's useless for me to bring it."
"Yes, don't worry. What you have to do now is to expand your business and increase your influence in Bai Jade City. In addition, didn't you support many Bai family disciples more than a hundred years ago? Contact them and support a group of people again.
When people get up, the Bai family under your control will have to use these people."
"Yes, Master"
"Okay, you go down, I still have something to say with Qingxuan."
Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then Bai Zi continued to draw, leaving Zhang Qingxuan behind.
"The leader seems a little worried about Bai Zihua."
"That's right, the benevolence of women in Bai Zihua's paintings is explosive. He sympathizes with the Bai family too much. Has he forgotten how we were driven out of Baiyu City? If we had been slower, would we still be alive? We didn't.
Taking the initiative to persecute the Bai family is already the end of benevolence and justice."
"I understand, head, whatever Bai Zihua did, I will do it to the Chen family. If Bai Zihua dares to betray the sect's interests, then I will wipe out his base."
"Well, we are all from the same sect. Don't do this unless you have to. Moreover, if Bai Zihua's status as a member of the Bai family can really control the Bai family, it will be much more suitable than the Chen family."
"Master, it's hard for Bai Zihua to take on such a big responsibility, why not bring in someone else?"
"It's adjusted, Bai Zichen is already on the way."
Lin Xiao nodded, originally Bai Zihua was the most suitable, but he didn't expect that he would be so sympathetic to the Bai family, which made Lin Xiao a little disappointed, so Lin Xiao asked Bai Zichen to come over again to help Bai Zihua handle the matter.
"The famous leader"
"Stop flattering, how many of the Dai family's spiritual mountains have you taken?"
"Two seats"
"Do you know what Ye Nanyu is doing in the sect?"
"I know, Boss Ye has formed an inspection team to investigate Night Owl's funding issues."
Zhang Qingxuan said silently, Lin Xiao had never cared about Ye Xiao's internal affairs, and Ye Xiao's chief was responsible for everything. However, Ye Nanyu felt that the efficiency of these big people was decreasing, and he knew with his toes that there were Ye Xiao.
People became lazy and even corrupt, so Ye Nanyu organized an audit team, with him as the leader himself and several Taoist monks as assistants, to clear the accounts.
"It's good to know. Night Owl is now a powerful force, and there is a lack of supervision. It is inevitable that some people will take advantage of it. I hope you will not make this mistake."
"Don't worry, Master, I will never make such a mistake. I guarantee that everyone at Baiyu City Station is innocent."
"I don't care about your affairs. Ye Nanyu can just come and ask. Before he comes, you'd better check it out yourself. Now White Jade City is too important to the sect. I don't want problems to arise here."
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, he has completely delegated power to Ye Xiao, but he has very high demands on Bai Jade City. Lin Xiao has only been here for two years and has already purchased many third- and fourth-level spiritual objects for the sect.
Even the treasures used to enhance spiritual veins in the past have been sent back, and Qi Yunshan has become a fourth-level spiritual vein.
Half a month later, Bai Zichen came to Baiyu City. Lin Xiao told everything about Bai Zihua, including the grudges that happened more than a hundred years ago. This shocked Bai Zichen because these things were all his.
Don't know.
"Master, the Bai family of Tiansheng Sect and the Bai family of Baiyu City are completely different. Zi Hua did something wrong this time. Please forgive him, master."
"I don't mean to blame him. There is still kindness in my heart, which is a good thing. But as a disciple of the sect, you must put the interests of the sect first. Now that you are about to reach the twelfth level of Daogang, you are at least still away from breaking through the aura.
Thirty years, these thirty years, you will stay in Baiyu City, assist Bai Zihua, and get things done, do you have the confidence?"
"Yes, don't worry, Master. If Bai Zihua still dares to persist in his obsession, then I will personally tie him back to Tiansheng Sect, and I will handle the affairs here."
"Okay, with your words, I can rest assured. I will still be in Baiyu City for about one or two years. After I leave, it will be up to you."
"Yes, Master"
Bai Zichen shouted, he knew very well that if he did not have the support of Lin Xiao to break through the aura, the chance would be almost zero. To get Lin Xiao's support, the first thing is to be loyal to the sect, and the second thing is to be able to do things.
Come to think of it, these two requirements are not difficult for Bai Zichen. On the contrary, Bai Zihua did a bad job this time and gave him the opportunity in vain.
Lin Xiao nodded. He couldn't stay in White Jade City for long. Next stop, he had to go to Baizhan City. It was time to avenge Zhou Zhengzhe, and the sect also needed a few more battleships.
