After all, Wei Danbo didn't let Wei Tian rush to take action. Instead, he acquiesced to the delay of the Gu family and sent a letter to wish Gu Liangde a speedy recovery.

This is not surprising, since he was born as a businessman, he was not a combative person in his bones, and he was born lacking some blood and courage.

Although he was right, if Wei Tian Chong was really to deal with the Gu Family, it would inevitably have an impact on Weifu's reputation, but he didn't know that the loss of Weifu would be even greater if he didn't make a move!

The rumination of accepting the ancient family industry suddenly stopped, causing the eyes of the entire Canglong Mansion to focus on Weifu.

Tang Jie retreated passively, ignored foreign affairs, fermented on this basis, and gave people unlimited reverie.

Many people speculate that the Weifu defaulted to the ancient family's repentance because of Tang Jie-not everyone can regard concession as magnanimity, and more people would understand it as weakness.

When one party is weak, it is when the other party is tough.

This kind of performance first appeared in cities outside the Canglong Mansion. After all, in these places, the Wei family's roots were still relatively shallow.

Earth Fire City.

This is a small city three hundred miles away from Canglong Mansion. It is named because of the river of fire flowing through it, and it never goes out all year round. Although it is small in size, it is an important town of the immortal family. Including the Xiyue Sect, more than a dozen sects have set up refining mines here, which have been refining sects for many years. The top magic weapons are naturally used by various sects, some of the inferior ones are for official use, and the worst ones go to the private sector and fall into the hands of people such as the Guardian of the Escort. Because of this, Fire City is also a well-known weapon town. Every year, a large number of merchants come to and buy and sell here. Two years ago, Weijia expanded its business and took root here for the first time. Now in Fire City, there are seven Home shop.

Today, a group of uninvited guests came to the door of Weijia Shop.

The head was a black-faced man with an open shirt and a large chest hair. At this moment, he said to the chief steward of the shop: "Guardian Zhang is polite. It is said that Weifu has been doing business here in Huocheng for two years. In the past few years, dare you to ask me how the Hongyun Gang has done to your shop?"

The steward Zhang hurriedly laughed and said, "Guybang has taken good care of my shop, and has never charged our protection fee. I still understand this point, and I have always mentioned it to the owner."

The black-faced man nodded: "It's good for Zhang Guanshi to understand, but Guan also knows that my Hongyun Gang also needs to eat. There are so many brothers in the Gang. If everyone does not have to pay protection fees, we don't need to mix up."

Guan Shi was dumbfounded: "Three masters mean..."

The black-faced man replied: "From next month, you are afraid that your shop will have to pay some money. Not much, but I have always been rigorous in doing things. Shops are determined by the size of the land and the scale of the business. We will never let all parties buy and sell. At a loss, like your shop, you only need twenty taels of silver a month, and only half of it."

Guanshi Zhang's complexion changed drastically: "My Wei family is not a nameless person. It is a family property protected by cultivators. You dare to accept it?"

The black-faced man's face sank: "There are local rules and regulations. Even if the Wei family is protected by a cultivator, it is just an escape. It is not at the point where the protection fee is not exempted."

"But my young master is the true biography of Guanrifeng!"

"That's why I only accept half of you. This is the friendship of my family's helper. After all, this is not in the rules." The black-faced man said: "Manager Zhang, I Hongyun helps to talk about rules and favors, although I have received your money. , But it’s not an outrageous deception. I hope you understand and don’t make it difficult for me to do it. Otherwise, if you really don’t accept your money, I’m afraid that other money-paying companies will complain about our unfairness."

He said that he bowed his hand to that pipe and went away.

The steward looked at the back of the black-faced man leaving, dull and speechless.

The guy next to him came over and said, "Manager, what do you think about this matter?"

Guan Shi said leisurely: "What else can I do? I can only agree."

The guy said angrily: "This is too cheap for them, right?"

Guan Shi looked at his buddy coldly: "Then what do you think?"

"Naturally let Master Wei come over and teach them a lesson!"

Zhang Guanshi disdainfully said: "Let Master Wei come over to teach you? Are you kidding? When you become the Hongyun Gang, there are no practitioners? Besides, here we are outsiders. The Hongyun Gang is acting, and we have talked about the rules and regulations and did not violate the rules. If we call the young master to come, then the rules are broken. This is not the Canglong Mansion. There are many reasons for us to guard the house, so bear with it."

Having said that, he went back to the shop.

The shop clerk spit on the ground: "I'm afraid that if there is this time, there will be annoyance in the back."

A word from the little man speaks the truth.

Toward twilight.

This place is located on the edge of Lingzhou, which is at the junction of three states. For this reason, although Lingzhou has no special products, it is a very important transportation route. A large amount of goods flow from here every year to all parts of the country, so it is also a place where businesses must compete. .

If Wei's business wants to go further, Chaomucheng is an indispensable and important place.

Here, Weijia owns a shop, although there is only one, it occupies a large area, employs a lot of people, and is larger in scale than the sum of the seven houses in the city of Earth and Fire. It integrates many functions such as acquisition, sale, and transfer. Li Zhaoxu, who is in charge, is an old man in the Weifu for many years. He is known as the smiling Buddha.

But today, Laughing Buddha has a bitter face.

In the reception lobby behind the shop, the smiling Buddha faced a Qingshan scribe: "This is so good, how can the rent be increased? And it will be so much as soon as it increases."

The scribe in Qingshan held hot tea in his hand, skimmed the tea with the cup lid, and said slowly: "Manager Li said that this is bad. It is not our boss who wants to increase the rent, but to return the rent to its original price. In the past few years, Chaomucheng’s business has become more and more prosperous, and the big stewardship is also in the eyes. The rental prices of shops in various places have been rising steadily. Only our shops have always been in accordance with the lowest prices. To your house."

Li Zhaoxu smiled and said, "Li understands this."

"But good things always come to an end." The Qingshan scribe said leisurely: "Our boss has been a little tight lately, so we can't always take advantage of ourselves to supplement Wei's family, right?"

"Heh, heh... yes, yes." Li Zhaoxu smiled helplessly, but he cursed secretly in his heart. In the past two years, your Zhong family has only relied on collecting land rent to make money every day.

Just for the Wei family to rent this shop, they pay the Zhong family a rent of 4,500 taels of silver each year. As for now, the other party has suddenly jumped to 7,000 taels.

Although seven thousand taels is not an excessive number, it is indeed a reasonable price compared to the surroundings, but I am used to the discounts and suddenly no discounts. Naturally, I feel very bad.

The most terrible thing is that Li Zhaoxu spent a lot of money to purchase goods a few days ago in order to expand the business. He only prepared a limited amount of money to pay rent, but he did not watch out for the other party's price increase. This sudden change caused a problem of shortage of funds immediately. .

Fortunately, this matter was not too serious. The Qingshan scribe obviously didn't want to push people too much, saying that he could give Li Zhaoxu time to raise money, and Li Zhaoxu finally had time to ask for help from the house owner of Canglong.

After the discussion, Li Zhaoxu sent him away, and when he returned, his face was again full of sadness.

His close companion saw Li Zhaoxu doing this and asked: "Didn't the Zhong family have agreed to give us time to raise money from the master? Why is the master still so worried?"

Li Zhaoxu shook his head and said: "What do you know. Whenever foreign businessmen enter, in order to open up the situation, they often operate with a low-price strategy, first trying to build a reputation, and because of this, the profits are meager. I heard that my wife complained about foreign affairs a few days ago. Incompetent, but in fact, this meager profit can only be achieved if the rent is cheap enough. Now it is good, the rent is rising, and the original meager profit is difficult to keep. If you don’t want to do something, I am afraid that you will lose money. Yeah."

When it comes to losing money, Li Chaoxu is immediately worried.

The young man also nodded and said, "This is really troublesome, but fortunately, it's not the master who has to face it."

"En?" Li Zhaoxu raised his head to look at Xiao Si.

The young man laughed and said, "Master doesn't know? The little one just heard about it before. Recently, many businesses in various places have encountered this kind of incident. The store in Dihuo City was collected by Hongyun for protection; the ferry at Dingjiahe We are no longer one of the priority suppliers of Wanhua embroidery in Qiansi Town, but we have to get a lottery number and buy it at a price just like ordinary merchants. The gang of wood-cutters in Wanxiang jumped out, saying that my Wei family gave too little money and did not do anything for us."

Li Zhaoxu was startled when he heard: "Is there such a thing? How could this be?"

The young man said: "It's not the Tang Jie who said that he no longer takes care of Wei's family. When the Gu family heard about this, the first one jumped out. All the shops that were originally to be sold to Wei's family were not sold. Wei The family has no choice but to take them. This is good, everyone is watching, and some things will come out naturally. So don’t worry about it, master, now, I’m afraid it’s the master of the Wei family more than you. Urgent, I can never blame you."

Li Zhaoxu was startled first, then his face became angry, and he slapped the young man with his hand: "Asshole thing, the master is in trouble, you are here to take pleasure in misfortune!"

The young man knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Only then did Li Zhaoxu recover his kind face, and slowly sat down: "Tang Jie...I have heard about him. It is not surprising that he reacted like this. But it is just a Tang Jie, how can it cause such a big deal? The storm? And it's coming so fast, so urgent? I think, 80% of them are still pushing the flames in the dark... If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be some action later."

"There is still action?" The young man was also a little stupid in fright.

Li Zhaoxu snorted: "Then it depends on how the owner responds. It is just the beginning. All parties do things with tentative meaning and will not be too extreme. At best, they will wipe out the benefits that should be given to the Wei family. But if you respond Ineffective..."

Li Zhaoxu's voice lowered.

No matter where the family is, they will not like outsiders intervening in their own business.

Like the ancient family, why did they refuse to buy and sell when they tried their best to offend the Wei family? Isn't it just to continue to control the casino business in Canglong Mansion? If any family wants to open a casino in Canglong Mansion, don't even think about opening it without the permission of the ancient family. Selling the casino to Weijia did not lose a few shops, but the default casino franchise.

For the same reason, other places will not welcome outsiders to do business. The strength of the cultivator is the key to deciding whether to enter.

If you are strong, I will bear it. If you are not strong enough, I should naturally retract.

When the Wei family has the two pillars of Wei Tian and Tang Jie, the Wei family's business can be opened to the cities of Lingzhou. But when Tang Jie expressed a negative attitude, his status declined, and his due treatment naturally declined.

When the strength is strong, all expansions are legitimate; if the strength is not good, then these originally legitimate expansions will become "a hand that stretches too wide."

Faced with such a hand, slashing is the most natural choice.

In this respect, any action against the Wei family is actually not excessive. As long-term traders, everyone knows how to make a difference, and strictly adheres to the concept of how much strength they have and how much territory they expand.

But for Wei Jia, the nature of the matter is completely different.

Expansion requires investment, a lot of money is spent, the situation just stabilized, not to mention making money, even the capital has not been returned, will it be withdrawn? With this withdrawal, a lot of money was lost. The wealth that the Wei family has accumulated for so many years is on this, and even owes a lot of money. If it is all in the water, the loss can be imagined.

But if you don't want to withdraw, you must use the corresponding strength.

"I don't agree." Wei Tian said lightly.

"What are you talking about?" Wei Danbo looked at his son in surprise.

"I said I wouldn't make a move." Wei Tianchong replied: "Everyone's actions are nothing but trivial matters, and they belong to each family. What reason do you want me to do? Just destroy the Zhong family for rent. Or is it to give priority to supply and kill Qiansi Town? Or go to Guwan Township to talk. Anyone who dare not to do anything for my Wei family will kill them all? Father, Wen Xin is not a lawless place, even if it is. The royal does not have to be so unscrupulous in doing things!"

"What about the Hongyun Gang? You can always deal with them, right? The protection fee is not on the stage after all." Wei Danbo's voice is exhausted and helpless, which shows that these days, the troubles in various places have made him suffer.

Wei Tianchong smiled bitterly: "I can't go to the stage, but the problem is that your son can't beat me either! You are a Red Cloud Gang who dare to collect protection fees in the Earthhuo City, is that a vegetarian? They are supported by real people. Didn't I go there to find death?"

"They dare not kill you, you are Yan Zhenren's apprentice."

"That's true, they certainly wouldn't dare to kill me. But they can beat me, strip my clothes and throw them out. The master has the best face. If any apprentice is bullied by an elder, he might come out. But if he comes to the door. If you go to trouble and get humiliated, the one who is unlucky is yourself! If you let the master know at that time, not to say revenge, I am afraid that the first thing he does is to take the sword and chop me first... You don’t know. , I don’t take it seriously in his mind, and it’s not easy to keep this true story."

Wei Danbo took a breath: "That is to say, you can't do anything?"

Wei Tianchong shrugged: "Wait for them to go too far."

"Wait for them to be too much? I'm afraid it will be too late! Do you know how much money the Wei family has lost during this period? That's all money for your practice!" Wei Danbo said anxiously.

Wei Tian was still calm when he rushed: "Oh, I don't care. Anyway, I have enough money now, and I don't need Wei's money to pay."

"What are you talking about?" Wei Danbo couldn't believe his ears. He stared at his son: "How can you say this! You don't need Wei Jia, so you can throw Wei Jia aside? "

Wei Tian dashed his hands: "Isn't this what you learned like your father? You don't think Tang Jie is necessary, so you don't just throw him aside?"

Wei Danbo froze on the spot.

He looked at his son: "So that's it, you are making a stand for Tang Jie? He did something like this to my Wei family, and you still have to make a stand for him?"

Wei Danbo was already shouting.

Wei Tianchong sneered: "Dare to ask father, what did he do?"

What did he do?

Wei Danbo opened his mouth and couldn't answer for a while.

Wei Tianchong said: "He just announced that he would no longer pay attention to everything. What's so strange about his decision based on what his father did in the first place? Why can't I blame Wei Jia?"

"But this time..."

"What has happened during this period of time have anything to do with him? Or does my father want to say that this person is so important that without him, the development of my Wei family would be greatly affected?"

Wei Danbo did not want to admit that Tang Jie was so important to Wei's family anyway.

He glared at his son: "Are you talking for Tang Jie?"

"The boy is just telling the truth."

Wei Tian chong said that he had already strode out.

After leaving his father, Wei Tianchong also let out a sigh of relief.

These days he was caught between the two and was in a dilemma, but today he finally spoke aloud, vomiting what he said from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that the feeling of confronting his father would be so comfortable.

The reason why he dared to do this for nothing else was because of Tang Jie's retreat.

Originally, he had always worried about Tang Jie turning his face, and all he had prepared was to protect the Wei family.

But when Tang Jie didn't do anything, but only announced to retreat, it made him feel relaxed.

No one knows everything Tang Jie has done for him better than him, and because of this, he feels even more sorry for Tang Jie.

So when Weifu was embarrassed on all sides because of this, Wei Tianchong, instead of worrying, had a kind of pleasant excitement. I thought, daddy, you finally know your stupid behavior, right?

Wei Danbo is his father, no matter how he cultivates to reach the sky, he can't curse and teach his father, but because of this, from his perspective, he is very happy to see his father deflated.

As for the loss caused by Weifu, he really didn't care.

As mentioned earlier, he is a cultivator. In terms of values, he and Tang Jie are exactly the same.

Spirit money is money!

The gold and silver of the mortal world, the treasures of the world, and the hustle and bustle of the camp are no longer in the eyes of the cultivator.

Moreover, what he refused was not entirely unreasonable. Under the current circumstances, if he acted on his own, he was afraid to quote the gossip. If he really let the master know that he was busy for the family business, he would send someone to take him immediately.

But what Wei Tianchong didn't expect was that even if he didn't do anything, Yan Changfeng still sent someone.

Three days after returning to Wei Danbo's battle, Nan Baicheng appeared in Wei's house.

Standing in front of Wei Tianchong~lightnovelpub.net~ Nanbaicheng asked: "I heard something happened to Wei's family recently?"

Wei Tian rushed to answer: "It's just a small business problem."

"That's it..." Nan Baicheng looked at Wei Tianchong with a faint smile, and said with a long tone: "If this is the case, then come back to the mountain with me."

"Back to the mountain?" Wei Tianchong's heart was shocked: "What is going back to the mountain?"

"Master has a destiny. You have taken the Shimen School with Tang Jie this time and made great contributions. Master will reward you and tell you the nine changes in the sun."

Nine changes in the sun?

This is Yan Changfeng's best immortal method, just like walking in the night sky like a chaotic wind.

Wei Tian was sluggish when listening, but then he woke up: "But my house..."

Nanbaicheng said impatiently: "Since there is nothing serious, what do you want to do with it? Let me go."

With a wave of his sleeves, Wei Tian was swept away, and he flew slowly into the air...
