His method was completely based on his own characteristics and preferences. In theory, it didn't have much advantage. In the eyes of the seniors in the sect, it would be considered as a reckless use of brute force.
However, this method also had its own uniqueness, which was that it had a very strong lethality during movement. If it was combined with his unconstrained inspiration, it would also be very dangerous.
However, his cultivation speed was also very ordinary. He didn't have the Void Pierce Stage calmness of an orthodox Daoist.
He was cultivating the Jade Purity Zhongping's Imperial Decree in a slightly crooked manner. However, it wasn't a Dafa but a small change under the overall framework.
There would be ten results if ten people cultivated the same cultivation method because the entire process was uncontrollable. There were many factors such as resources, growing environment, state of mind, personality, and so on.
Lou Xiaoyi's direction was the Dafa of magic cultivation. He was leaning towards speed and strength. This already had the feeling of a body cultivator. However, this wasn't something he could choose. In order to protect himself, most rogue cultivators would lean towards physical strength because they didn't have enough magical techniques to rely on. They also didn't have enough resources to replenish talismans. This was why most rogue cultivators leaned towards physical strength because this would allow them to survive.
The upper echelons of Pu City had witnessed what had happened to the Lou Residence. After waiting for a while, someone finally began to probe the situation. No matter what, this was still a piece of fat meat. There was a manor outside the city and a shop inside the city. Without the protection of Major Lou's reputation and the guidance of the new emperor, the Lou Residence had lost its right to speak in the various levels of the government. There would also be no officials who would be biased because this was the Lou Residence's matter. Thus, some secret business disputes began to appear.
This was the prelude to being devoured! If there was a start and the government was biased, the failure of the first lawsuit would be the trigger. Then, a group of sharks would come and bite the meat of Lou Province clean!
This was the first time Ping An was dealing with such a thorny crisis. He didn't know what to do. He wasn't a ruthless person in the Jianghu, so he was very nervous. He didn't know what to do. If he really did as the young master said, would it bring disaster to Lou Province?
"You said that the Jin Clan is the instigator?"
Lou Xiaoyi had just retreated from his mother's room when he was stopped by Ping An, who was burning with anger, as soon as he left the inner residence.
"That's right! Young Master is wise! The Jin Family owns the most pawnshops in Pu City. They have a total of seven pawnshops. This pawnshop in the northern part of the city is located in a better location. But, in terms of strength and business, it is far inferior to the scale of the Jin Family's pawnshop chain. It is already very difficult for them to break even. So, there is no possibility of them being a threat!
The reason they gave was just the rules of the pawnshop. Everyone was doing it and had a tacit understanding. This time, when they reported us to the authorities, they deliberately sent someone to set up a trap. Our people at the counter were careless and got caught in the act …
I've already hired a lawyer to prepare for this case, but the lawyer said that this case will be very difficult to win. The Jin family has already colluded with the yamen, and our Lou Province's name is no longer as useful as before … "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. This was the kind of trouble he was afraid of. He couldn't be anxious or angry. It was all driven by profit. You couldn't really kill him, right?
A lawsuit? How was that a head? It was a bottomless pit! Even if you tried your best and won, after a few days, there would be people eyeing your grocery store, thick satin stall, bookstore, endless trouble, and you still want to go to court with them one by one?
He had to nip this evil trend in the bud so that they wouldn't dare to make a move on Lou Province easily. That was the right solution!
Although he ordered Ping An and the others to reduce the number of people in the residence, he didn't reduce the number of guards in the residence. Instead, he increased the number of guards in the residence. He found ten soldiers who had practiced killing with him in the past. His purpose was to use them here!
After thinking about it, he decided that it wasn't good to make a big fuss this time. After all, these ten people were still ordinary people. Their hands and feet were tied in certain situations. They could only be used to guard Lou Province. He still had to deal with the matters outside!
"Draw the locations of the Jin Family's seven pawnshops and give them to me. Don't worry about the rest. Guard the residence well, especially at night. Send more people!"
That night, seven consecutive incidents of smashing occurred in Pu City! The seven pawnshops were all owned by the Jin Family. They were smashed from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom. Not even a chair was left intact. All the pawnshop items, precious porcelain and jade wares were smashed into pieces. The calligraphy and paintings were torn into two halves. Not a single one was taken away. It was just a smashing!
Of course, there were thugs in the pawnshop business. All of them were ruthless and merciless. However, none of these people could see the true face of the villains. Their hands and feet were dismembered and beaten up. Many porcelain and jade objects were smashed directly on their heads. The villains were simply crazy to the extreme. They were knocked out and done with it!
The next day, when the sun had just risen, the bailiffs of Pu City were all dispatched. However, no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find anything. They only knew that there was only one person who did it. They smashed from the first half of the night to the second half of the night. The commotion was not small. However, no one could identify the appearance, voice, or trace of the crazy person.
The head of the Jin Family was so angry that his whole body trembled. He knew the root of all this. The only thing he didn't expect was that the dignified scholar Lou Sima's residence would act like a bandit.
In the pawnshop business, they relied on liquid funds. The dead pawns were still fine, but the living pawns had to be redeemed within a time limit. Otherwise, they would have to pay back double. With so many bad debts, even if he sold himself, how could he afford to pay them back?
He had to sue! He had to sue! Even if he had to go bankrupt! He had to push the blame to Lou Province! Otherwise, his life's work would go down the drain, and there would be no possibility of recovery!
In a teahouse, Lou Xiaoyi was drinking tea with Hu Yong. Hu Yong smiled bitterly.
"Young Master! This is not the method of a cultivator of my generation! "
Lou Xiaoyi was disdainful. "I've worked so hard to cultivate. Could it be that I've cultivated so hard just to let people walk all over me and shit all over me?
Brother Hu, you know very well that I didn't choose to simply kill because of my status as a cultivator!
I went overboard this time for the sake of peace in Pu City in the future. There won't be so many people who don't know when to stop treating Lou Province as their cash cow!
Once and for all, it's better than always bothering Brother Hu! "
Hu Yong sighed. This young master of Lou Province was becoming more and more unfathomable. The last time he saw him, he was still at the mid-stage of Qi eating. Now, his aura was so strong that it was already at the late-stage. Hu Yong even suspected that Monk Qing Mu was killed by this young master and that there wasn't another expert in the residence. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Lou Province's Second Madam had knelt to death!
However, he owed this young master a huge favor. Furthermore, the Jin family was merely a wealthy family. They weren't considered to be reputable in Pu City, and they didn't have any direct relations with the government. This made things a lot easier!
Cultivators didn't like to owe others favors, so Hu Yong wanted to use this opportunity to settle the karma between them!
"If that's the case, leave the rest to me. Young Master, don't interfere and make things difficult for me!"
