C131 Power Struggle
On a street not far from Chamber of Commerce of Lee Family Auction House, in a cold tea shop. Ye Feii and Asura sat inside with tea and cups on the table. Sitting here, I can clearly see the Chamber of Commerce of Lee Family.
"This General Liu is truly not simple. He does not participate in the imperial government, and does not belong to any faction." Until now, I have not fallen from my position as the commander of the army. " Ye Feii took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"If it's simple, then it won't be Liu You Qing. "Before this, we, the Night Division, had entered the Northwest Army. Do you know what the result was?" The Shura's voice suddenly became cold. A faint hint of anger appeared.
Ye Feii curiously looked over and did as Ye Feii said. This Night Walker was actually working for the Emperor alone with his previous life, the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Dynasty. It entered through every orifice.
"We've entered three elites, and after three years, we haven't seen a single clue. But three years later, all three of them were sent to the imperial capital. All three of them were tortured and their minds were in a state of chaos. They became three madmen. As for how they found out, or even what news Liu You Qing got from them, we don't know. "
They were all Parasite s who could infiltrate any hole, but they had to suffer such a huge loss just by entering the Northwest Army.
"Oh?" Ye Feii was shocked. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, which was that the entire Northwest Legion was controlled by Liu Youqing alone. He had completely become the local tyrant of the northwest.
"Well, don't think about that. At least Liu Youqing didn't make any unusual moves. The Emperor has no other intentions towards him. " The Shura interrupted Ye Feii's train of thoughts and continued looking at the front.
On the street. At this moment. A luxurious carriage arrived. This carriage didn't look that eye-catching. At most, he would just treat it as a normal small rule.
However, as the carriage passed by, two guards at the side of the carriage caught Ye Feii's attention. These two guards were impressively inside the Xueyang City, two of Lee Shangwen's guards.
At this time, they stopped at the entrance of Chamber of Commerce of Lee Family. This person was dressed in a black robe, it was Lee Shangwen. When Lee Shangwen came down, another person came out behind him. This person looked to be in his twenties or thirties, had a handsome face like jade, had a crown on his head, and wore a golden robe. His smile was so captivating.
However, this person's appearance gave Ye Feii a sense of familiarity. Yes, he was also a cultivator of the cold attribute.
After this young man appeared, Lee Guangpei and the others unrestrainedly welcomed him without restraint. This kind of respect was even more respectful than the Liu You Qing from before. However, this young man was also very friendly to Lee Guangpei. He did not put on any airs.
"This young man is the Emperor's younger brother, Lord Qin. Even though he looked to be in his twenties or thirties, he was actually an old man who had already passed his prime. However, his cultivation attribute is strange, and he is also cold like you. So, in terms of appearance, she's around twenty or thirty years old. " The Shura warned, "However, you must not think too kindly of this person. Lord Qin's methods are fiercer than anyone else. Moreover, it was said that he himself was wandering between the Profound Spirit and Profound Master. No one knew how strong he was. If he won this auction and won Mr. Bing over, then... I'm afraid there's going to be a civil war in the Empire. "
He had also seen the Shura's introduction to the Frost Curse and even some detailed explanations. That was why they had no choice but to clarify this matter and remove such a threat.
After all, the older the Emperor, the more palpitations there were. With him, old Man. And his son was still young. If he was gone, then his son's fate would be miserable, and he would have to pave the way. With his son's ability, there was no way he could fight against his younger brother.
As for those whom he could not win over, his younger brother had the ability to pull them over. He could only use this method to destroy everything before him while he was still alive.
"Do we have anyone by Lord Qin's side?" Ye Feii suddenly asked.
"The prince's manor is very large, and the attacks are very easy. Five years ago, someone entered the prince's mansion. However... I suspect that Lord Qin knew about this. " The Shura turned around and looked at Ye Feii with an indifferent expression.
"Oh? "What do you mean?" Ye Feii didn't understand. Since he snuck into the Prince's Mansion, why didn't Lord Qin kill those spies?
"Think about it! If the emperor is capable enough to let us establish the dark net, we can get anywhere, not to mention Lord Qin. Don't forget, Lord Qin's situation isn't as simple as it seems. Not only is this person highly scheming, he is also extremely powerful. " The Shura continued to explain.
Ye Feii nodded as he started to think.
He suddenly felt a sense of regret. It was because he should not have been involved in this competition for power. Not only would he not be able to take revenge, he would even be left without a place to settle down.
"Hey!" People from the Four Great Families are here too? " The Asura once again looked over in shock.
Sure enough, a group of people walked over from the street. In the middle of the group was a luxurious carriage.
"It's people from the Dongfang Family." Ye Feii also looked over.
"Dongfang Family consists of five surnames, with the Guan Family taking the lead, with the following surnames: Tang, Wu, Zhang, and Gu. Back then, the ancestors of these five surnames were sworn brothers, and because they became successful in business, the five clans combined into one family, which then established today's Dongfang Family. " The Shura explained, "Although this Dongfang Family is ranked second among the Empire's Four Great Clans, it is the most ancient and has a very rich heritage. However, all these years, the five surnames have been in dispute, which is why our family has gradually declined. "
"However, even so. With the wealth that such a great clan has accumulated for so many years, even the Empire has no choice but to fear the Four Great Clans. "
A family that could make a country fear, such a family had always been a thorn in the emperor's side.
But even so. The Emperor didn't dare do anything. Because there was a precedent for all of this. In front of Grand Merchant, the Grand Merchant back then had not been unified, and there were four or five countries that had been scattered. One of them was called China. Because this country was strong, they had always been greedy for the Dongfang family.
At that time, the Emperor ordered to burn all his Dongfang Family to increase his strength. But only overnight. The entire Dongfang Family had been withdrawn from all the businesses in the entire Da Xia Empire. The entire Dongfang Family family left China.1
However, within a month's time, such a situation had occurred in China. There was a lack of food, weapons, food and utensils. Even the vast city was empty. There was no money to buy anything. Even some of the officials in the country all resigned and left China to join another country.
As for the army, in just a short month, it had gone from the former Iron Army to a disorderly and rogue army, looting and killing everywhere …
And this nation, had been annihilated by the Grand Merchant less than two months after that. The reason was very simple. Using the last few words, if China were to pull out its own heart and lose its heart, would it still be able to live?
Dongfang Family was the heart of China, and the economic arteries of his entire empire were controlled by Dongfang Family. The moment Dongfang Family left, this country was also finished.
It was precisely because of this that after the establishment of the Grand Merchant Empire, only then did successive generations of emperors try to rope in the four great families. In fact, at all costs, no generation of emperors would dare to slight the four ancient families, including the patriarchs of the great families, dukes of dukes, and marquises.
He didn't even hesitate to say that in the military, there was a high probability that a large number of influential figures were controlled by the four noble families.
At present, the emperor and Lord Qin were having an extremely intense conflict, but up until now, none of them had ever tried to rope in or make a move against the four great families. They knew that they would rather offend the emperor than the four noble families.
"The fight for power between the emperor and Lord Qin has already affected so much. If the Four Great Clans were to get involved, I wonder how things would turn out? " Ye Feii thought in his heart.
Before he came to the imperial city, he dreamed of building his own career so that he could return to his hometown and exterminate his Han Family to take revenge. However, when he truly participated in it, he discovered that everything was dirty and scary, and it could not be done at any time. It was the matter of losing one's head.
"The four noble families are here. Those who have come are the experts of the martial arts world. Some of them are even some of the nobles. Let's go!" "Let's go in as well." The Shura called out to Ye Feii as the four great families entered the auction house. The two of them walked into the auction hall together.
For this mission, Ye Feii won't be able to go into the room to auction. He'll be like an ordinary person and sell them in the lobby of the first floor.
It had to be said that Lee Family had learned their lesson this time. During Xueyang City, because the space was too small, it was extremely crowded. But this time, he was prepared. In this auction within the imperial city, there were at least twenty to thirty thousand people, and it was divided into one, two, three, and four floors. The second floor was also occupied by the public. Only the third and fourth floors were private booths. On the third floor, there were at least a hundred private booths, and on the fourth floor, there were no less than forty to fifty private booths.
There was no helping it, the imperial city was a place where important figures gathered. These important figures did not lack fame. In their eyes, what they sought was enjoyment. If they were to be squeezed into the crowd, they would not do it.
When Ye Feii and Shura entered, the auction area was packed to the brim with people. At a glance, there were heads everywhere.
"This Lee Family sure knows how to earn money. Just by relying on this entrance fee, it's already quite a large amount of wealth." Looking at the crowd below, the Shura said in boredom.
It had to be known that this was only the first floor. As for the second floor, it would cost at least two to three liang, and this was still a popular item. As for the third or fourth floor, he could not imagine how much one was worth.
Right now, there were at least tens of thousands of people participating in the auction. Just by relying on today's income, Lee Family would bring in more than a hundred thousand silver.
"However, everyone knows. For the Lee Family to develop so greatly, it is all because of Mr. Bing. " The Shura obviously admired Mr. Bing and even looked forward to meeting him.
"This Mr. Bing, is he really as influential as you said?" Ye Feii didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he had only appeared twice with that identity. Only two items were auctioned twice. Now that the second item was auctioned, it attracted thousands and thousands of people.
