When Chu Xiu placed the heads of the three Li brothers in front of the Chu Family, everyone was shocked, even Chu Zongguang.
Because Chu Xiu had chopped off the heads, the people outside did not know that the Li Family's direct descendants had died at the hands of Chu Xiu. They thought that only some of the Li Family's elites had died.
Now that they saw the three heads, they realized that the Li Family had really been destroyed, destroyed by Chu Xiu!
This kind of fantasy story was placed in front of everyone, making them feel that it was inconceivable.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands towards the people present and said, "Father, Elders, the Li Family has too many properties. Although my subordinates have gone to take over, it is certainly not enough to manage them all. Therefore, this child is willing to take out two-thirds of the Li Family's properties and ask the family to send people to manage them."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, whether it was Chu Zongguang or the Chu Family's Elders, they nodded in satisfaction.
The children of the Chu Family's Elders were the stewards of the Chu Family. Now that the Li Family had been annexed, although the Chu Family would benefit from it, wouldn't those places be managed by their children?
Chu Zongguang was very satisfied with Chu Xiu's current attitude.
Previously, Chu Xiu had repeatedly disobeyed his orders, which made Chu Zongguang very angry. This time, Chu Xiu was finally a bit more sensible.
At this time, Chu Zongguang suddenly asked, "You have a box, what's inside?"
Chu Xiu opened the box with a smile. Impressively, it was Ding Kaishan's head!
The moment she saw the head, the Second Madam suddenly wailed and cried, "Father!"
Chu Zongguang's complexion suddenly became gloomy.
He had thought that Chu Xiu's temperament had changed, and finally knew what it meant to obey the rules. He didn't expect that Chu Xiu would immediately give him a slap.
Who was Ding Kaishan? He was his father-in-law, and his son, Chu Xiu, was his son.
His own son killed his father-in-law, this was simply a joke!
"Chu Xiu! What the hell do you want? "Chu Zongguang smashed the table in anger.
Chu Xiu said calmly, "Father, Ding Kaishan and our Chu family are in-laws, but he betrayed us and colluded with the Li family. Shouldn't he be killed?"
Hearing this, the Second Madam immediately grabbed Chu Zongguang's hand and wailed, "Master! Even if my father didn't make any contributions to the Chu family, he did a lot of hard work, but he was killed by that little bastard Chu Xiu. You have to help me! "
Looking at the Second Madam, Chu Xiu sneered, "Hard work? All these years, my Chu family has given Ding Kaishan a lot of things, but what's the result? In exchange, he colluded with the Li family and betrayed the interests of the Chu family!
This time, I was surrounded by people from the Li family. I don't want to talk about why I didn't receive any news in advance. Last time, Ding Kaishan took fifty-seven thousand jin of ore from my Chu family, but in the end, he said fifty-two thousand jin. What about the rest? He directly swallowed it!
He harmed the interests of my Chu family, so shouldn't he be killed? "
Speaking of which, it was laughable. Ding Kaishan's biggest crime was actually colluding with outsiders to kill Chu Xiu, but this crime couldn't be said openly. Chu Xiu could only say that Ding Kaishan secretly harmed the interests of the Chu family.
But the problem was that if he didn't kill Ding Kaishan today, then even if he revealed this matter, Ding Kaishan wouldn't die.
Therefore, Chu Xiu could only choose to kill Ding Kaishan first, and then use this crime to make a reasonable explanation for his actions.
The Second Madam pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted, "Nonsense! How could my father do such a thing? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, you can go check the Chu family's accounts. When I robbed and killed the Li family's caravan, I found fifty-seven thousand jin of ore, all of which were produced by my Chu family's Nanshan mining area. They were all verified by the Chu family's steward. Also, Lord Father, why don't you ask the steward who sent the ore to Kai Shan Martial Arts School whether he changed the accounts? "
Chu Zongguang frowned, and immediately asked people to ask those stewards.
The Chu family's direction had changed, and the steward who had experienced this matter also knew that something was wrong. He didn't dare to hide the truth, and immediately told the truth to Chu Zongguang.
The Second Madam's face was dull. She really didn't know about this matter.
She didn't expect that Ding Kaishan would play tricks on her.
If Ding Kaishan really needed money, he could just tell her directly. As his daughter, how could she not give him money? But in the end, Ding Kaishan just had to plot in secret, and even his own life was included in the scheme!
Chu Zongguang's eyes revealed a trace of anger. Chu Xiu's act of killing first and reporting later really made Chu Zongguang very angry. But what made Chu Zongguang even more angry was that the Second Madam secretly played some tricks, and even did not hesitate to harm the Chu family's interests.
"Come, bring Second Madam to rest. Second Madam has been grieving too much, and it's not suitable for her to go out in the near future."
Chu Zongguang's meaning was very clear. Whether Ding Kaishan's matter was good or bad, he wouldn't make a conclusion. But it was very clear that in the future, Second Madam wouldn't even be able to leave her courtyard.
When Chu Zongguang's gaze turned to Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng hastily said, "Father, listen to me. I really didn't know about any of this!"
Chu Sheng probably didn't even believe his own words, let alone Chu Zongguang.
In the past, Chu Zongguang had felt that Chu Sheng was pretty good among his sons. At least he understood the rules, but now he loathed him even more.
Chu Zongguang waved his hand and coldly said, "Shut up! These past few years, you've only known how to plot in secret, and you've even neglected your martial arts.
My Chu family is a martial family, and we don't have any strength. If the family head position was given to you, would you be able to sit stably?
Right now, your eldest brother and second brother have already stepped into the Blood Condensation realm. Only you're still in the Body Tempering realm. In the future, you don't need to worry about the Chu family's business. Just stay in your courtyard and accompany your mother, peacefully cultivating. "
Chu Sheng's face immediately became incomparably pale. Chu Zongguang's words were already very clear. From today onwards, he had already lost the qualifications to become the Chu family's successor.
Once the servants pulled away the mother and son, Chu Zongguang rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. "Uncles and housekeeper Chen, send some people to take over the Li family's business. The rest of you can leave. "As for Chu Xiu, this is my final warning to you. Next time you make a move, you must first report to me. Otherwise, I'll take back all your business and send you to the ancestral hall to reflect on your actions!"
Originally, exterminating the Li family should have been a happy matter, but Chu Zongguang felt a headache coming on from all these troublesome matters.
Chu Xiu respectfully cupped his hands towards Chu Zongguang. "I understand, lord father."
To Chu Xiu, his goal had already been achieved. The Li family had been exterminated, and his prestige in the Chu family was unrivaled. He had also conveniently gotten rid of the mother and son, and he hadn't been punished by Chu Zongguang.
Of course, the most important thing was that Chu Xiu had obtained a third of the Li family's business.
Right now, Chu Xiu was lacking money and resources. A third of the Li family's business was enough for Chu Xiu to digest for a while.
As for handing over a third of the Li family's business, Chu Xiu was also very helpless. If they didn't hand it over, he wouldn't be able to swallow the entire Li family.
If he didn't feed the rest of the Chu family, would it be so easy for them to let Chu Xiu obtain those things?
After returning to his courtyard, Gao Bei excitedly said to Chu Xiu, "Young master, this time we've really struck it rich! Not counting those properties, the Li family's total assets have already surpassed a million taels of silver! "
When Chu Xiu heard this, he frowned and said, "What? Such a big Li family that has been rooted in the Tongzhou Prefecture for more than a hundred years, not counting properties and other fixed assets, their assets are only a million taels of silver? "
Gao Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Young master, this is already more than enough. When the Li family's old patriarch passed away, the people of the Li family became dispirited. Many servants left, and the Li family paid a huge price to keep the people of the Li family. Also, the Li family's main business is blacksmithing, but these businesses are in Yan Country's Qingyuan Town, so I didn't count them. "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Alright, we'll take a third of the Li family's things, and the rest will be given to the family. Remember, the cultivation resources have priority."
Gao Bei nodded. He wasn't suited for doing big things, but he was still very nimble when it came to small things.
He and the Chu family's stewards spent almost a day calculating the accounts, and delivered all the cultivation resources that Chu Xiu wanted to Chu Xiu.
The Li family's current foundation couldn't even compare to the Chu family's. They didn't even have a single alchemist, and all of their medicinal pills were bought from outside.
Things like Qi Replenishing Pills and Blood Condensing Pills were no longer of much use to Chu Xiu, who had already reached the Blood Condensation realm. What really made Chu Xiu's eyes light up was that the Li family actually had three bottles of Jasper Pills.
The Jasper Pill was a medicinal pill refined from a few precious medicinal herbs that were abundant in the Yan Country. It was shaped like jasper, so it was called the Jasper Pill. It had the effect of nourishing one's true qi and cleansing the body. Only a few large sects in the Yan Country had the ability to refine it, and each one was worth several hundred taels of silver. Moreover, ordinary people couldn't even buy one.
These three bottles of Jasper Pills were probably specially bought by the Li family from the Yan Country for Li Cheng and the others to use, but now they had fallen into Chu Xiu's hands.
Taking out several Jasper Pills in succession, Chu Xiu circulated the Xiantian Art to refine the pill's energy.
This was the benefit of a high-grade cultivation technique. Ordinary people would not dare to swallow it in one go like Chu Xiu, swallowing several pills in a row.
