In a shop in the Chenzhou Prefecture, the Luo Clan's Patriarch was personally in charge of expanding the Luo Clan's business to the Chenzhou Prefecture.
In fact, he had already handed over most of the Luo Family's businesses to his sons to manage. He was only responsible for the general direction and would not interfere often.
However, this matter was personally ordered by Lord Chu Xiu. If it were to succeed, the Luo Family's strength would definitely soar. Therefore, the Patriarch of the Luo Family had to personally take action.
The method of invading the businesses of other prefectures was actually very simple. It was just a competition of wealth and strength.
The merchant caravans that came and went smuggled some contraband goods. If the aristocratic families of the Chen Province spent a hundred taels of silver to buy them, I would spend a hundred and ten taels of silver.
If they wanted to buy something, the Luo Clan would be more than willing to pay. After all, the entire Jian Zhou Prefecture was united. If the Luo Clan didn't have something, they could get it from other clans, and the price would be lower than the clans in the Chen Prefecture.
With the Luo Family doing this, the merchants who came and went knew that they could sell their goods at a good price here and buy good things at a low price. Therefore, in just a few days, the Luo Family had completely won over 90% of the merchants who came and went.
Although the Luo Family earned very little by doing this, and it was even easy for them to lose money in the end, the ones who suffered the most from the smuggling business in the entire Chen State Prefecture were the local martial arts forces in the Chen State Prefecture.
When they couldn't take it anymore, they would either take the initiative to admit defeat to the Luo Family's Patriarch, or they would have to think of other ways to deal with them.
The Patriarch of the Luo Clan had never considered the possibility that the forces of the Chen Province would join forces like the Jianzhou Province.
The Patriarch of the Luo Family knew very well what these local small forces were like. A hundred people had a hundred hearts. The Jianzhou Prefecture was able to have its current prosperity thanks to Chu Xiu's strong methods.
At that moment, Patriarch Luo was not the only one in the shop. Tang Ya was also there, playing with an exquisite Dragon-tailed Soul-chasing Dart. He looked a little bored.
He thought that he would have something to do since he was here. He didn't expect that the local martial arts forces in Chenzhou Prefecture were so cowardly. Not a single one of them did anything.
The Luo Family Ancestor saw that Tang Ya was a bit bored, so he went over and said with a smile, "Is Sir Tang from the Western Chu Shu Land?"
Tang Ya slumped lazily on the chair. He was a little surprised when he heard that. "Huh? How did an old man like you know? "
The Patriarch of the Luo family didn't care about how Tang Ya addressed him. Although Tang Ya was only in the Physical Invulnerability Realm, he was one of Chu Xiu's trusted subordinates. Moreover, he was also an elite assassin of the Blue Dragon Society. If they really fought, he might not be a match for him.
Old Ancestor Luo said with a smile, "When I was young, I had also ventured outside. The place I went to the most was Sichuan.
Sir Tang must have been in the Central Plains for a long time, but he could still vaguely hear the accent of Sichuan.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is filled with outstanding people, young talents like Lord Tang are not few. "
Tang Ya casually waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't flatter me. You're referring to Official Chu as a young elite. What kind of young elite am I?
Sichuan was a place with outstanding people and rich lands, my ass! There was miasma everywhere in the mountains and forests, which could not be compared to the Central Plains.
Look at Eastern Qi. It's located in the heart of the Central Plains. It's vast and has everything you want. In Sichuan, if you want these things, you can only rely on yourself. "
As Tang Ya chatted with the Patriarch of the Luo family, a disciple of the Luo family rushed in and said, "Patriarch! The Zhang family of the Chenzhou Prefecture is here! "
Tang Ya's eyes lit up. "After waiting for so long, they're finally here."
However, when Tang Ya rushed out and saw the people from the Zhang family, he immediately lost interest. He waved his hand and said to the Patriarch of the Luo family, "You deal with it."
There were more than ten people from the Zhang family. However, the strongest one was only in the Physical Invulnerability Realm, and he looked weak. Tang Ya didn't even have the interest to fight.
Outside the Luo family's shop, the middle-aged man from the Zhang family looked at the Patriarch of the Luo family and said in a deep voice, "The Luo family has crossed the line! This isn't the Jianzhou Prefecture, it's the Chenzhou Prefecture! "
The Patriarch of the Luo family said indifferently, "I only know that this is Guanzhong, and everyone here is from Guanzhong. What, are you going to sell the Chenzhou Prefecture to the Zhang family?"
There were so many aristocratic families and sects in the Chenzhou Prefecture, but the Zhang family was the first to jump out. Obviously, they were also pushed out to test the Luo family's intentions. Therefore, the Patriarch of the Luo family didn't care.
The Physical Invulnerability Realm warrior from the Zhang family snorted. "Don't play with words. This time, the Luo family broke the rules. What do you want?"
The Patriarch of the Luo family said indifferently, "You should know who the Luo family is working for. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. If you know what's good for you and hand over a portion of the family's businesses, then we can all earn money together. The Luo family won't stay in the Chenzhou Prefecture for long. However, if you don't know what's good for you, you've seen the consequences. The Chenzhou Prefecture is a pile of loose sand. How can you compete with us? "
The Physical Invulnerability Realm warrior from the Zhang family's expression suddenly changed. In fact, before he came, he had already been worried about whether the Luo family had that person behind them.
After all, everyone knew that that person had absolute authority in the Jianzhou Prefecture. The Luo family was just a dog under that person's command.
Now that this dog suddenly came out and bit people, they couldn't be sure if it was ordered by that person.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal to rely on Chu Xiu. If they were in the Jianzhou Prefecture, they would also choose to rely on Chu Xiu.
However, right now, Chu Xiu couldn't control them. What right did they have to show their filial piety to Chu Xiu?
As a martial arts force in Guanzhong, it was normal for them to show their filial piety to the inspectors above them.
However, they would only give these things to the Patrol Envoys who were in charge of them, and not to the Patrol Envoys of other places. No matter how famous Chu Xiu was, he could not control them. Their hands were so long. Let's talk about it when Chu Xiu becomes the Disciplinary Officer!
The warrior from the Zhang family understood the situation. He snorted coldly and said, "Ridiculous! I don't care who the Luo family is working for. Rules are rules. From today onwards, the Luo family's shop will disappear from the Chenzhou Prefecture! "
The Patriarch of the Luo family waved his hand and said, "Beat them up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of warriors from the Luo family ran out of the shop and started attacking the people from the Zhang family.
The Patriarch of the Luo family had expected this. If he didn't use some tricks, how could these people obediently submit to Chu Xiu?
In the past, they were even a little dissatisfied with Chu Xiu. It was only because of Chu Xiu's ruthless methods that they chose to submit.
Now, although Chu Xiu had both strength and fame, he was still not the Penal Officer. His influence was so great that the forces in other prefectures wouldn't be dissatisfied.
The warriors from the Luo family were stronger than the warriors from the Zhang family. After a quarter of an hour, the people from the Zhang family couldn't hold on anymore and had to retreat.
The people from the Zhang family left in a sorry state. One of the disciples asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
The Physical Invulnerability Master of the Zhang family snorted and said, "What should we do? Go and find Lord Jiang Taoran, of course.
The Zhang family has been sending gifts to the Inspector's Hall all these years. Now that the Luo family has crossed the line, who will take care of it if he doesn't?
If he can't take care of it, then we'll just admit defeat and give a part of our family's income to Chu Xiu in exchange for our safety! "
You're a Inspector. If you can't even protect your own forces and allow others to meddle, why should we give you so much?
At this moment, Jiang Taoran happened to be in the Inspector's Hall of the Chenzhou Prefecture. He was calculating his income for this month.
Jiang Taoran was a cautious and cunning person. Previously, he only had one prefecture under his command. Among the Inspectors in Guanxi, he was considered one of the weaker ones.
However, he managed to take away one of Wei Hanshan's prefectures through the conflict between Wei Hanshan and Chu Xiu. His methods could be considered sharp.
At this moment, his subordinate reported that the master of the Zhang family wanted to see him.
"Let him in," Jiang Taoran said calmly.
The Chenzhou Prefecture used to be Wei Hanshan's territory. However, after Jiang Taoran took over, there weren't any obstacles.
Guanxi had its own rules. In the past, everyone acted according to the rules. Basically, no one was like Chu Xiu, who insisted on stirring up trouble.
Therefore, when Jiang Taoran took over the Chenzhou Prefecture, everything went smoothly. For the local aristocratic families, it was just a change of filial piety.
However, when the master of the Zhang family came in, Jiang Taoran frowned and said, "Master Zhang, who did you fight with? Why are you in such a sorry state? Although I'm the Inspector of the Chenzhou Prefecture, I can't intervene in the disputes between your families. I'm afraid you've found the wrong person this time. "
Jiang Taoran thought that the master of the Zhang family had come to him because of some internal strife in the Chenzhou Prefecture. However, Jiang Taoran would never agree to this.
As the Inspector, he was born to oppose these people. The deeper the conflicts between the aristocratic families in the prefecture, the easier it would be for him to manage. On the contrary, it would be troublesome if the aristocratic families were united.
The master of the Zhang family quickly said, "It's not about the Chenzhou Prefecture. It's about the Jianzhou Prefecture's Luo Family and Chu Xiu! They don't follow the rules! My lord, you have to uphold justice for us this time. "
Then, the master of the Zhang family told Jiang Taoran everything that had happened.
After hearing this, Jiang Taoran's expression immediately changed. He fiercely slammed the table and shouted, "Chu Xiu! What are you trying to do? "
They had seen how Wei Jiuduan had deducted the reward he deserved and how the Nine Plains Wei Family had provoked him. However, they had only been there to watch the show.
In the end, only a few days had passed, and Chu Xiu had actually gone crazy to the point of touching his interests. What exactly was Chu Xiu trying to do? They had never provoked him.
