C3534 The Liu Family Suffered a Great Loss
Liu Tian didn't want to admit it, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
With a murderous look in his eyes, he said in a low voice, "A dead man can't be resurrected. Please forgive me..."
Seeing this, Zhu He nodded with satisfaction. "Then, Patriarch Liu, how do you think we should make it up to the Zhu Clan? Patriarch Liu, you must know that Zhu San is a disciple of our Zhu Family. He has the bloodline of my Zhu Family! My Zhu Family, from the Patriarch to the person who has no achievements like me... However, they are all his kin, and they are all responsible for his death. Right now, the entire Zhu Clan is mourning... "
The corner of Jiang Ting's mouth, who was pretending to be deaf and mute, kept twitching... The entire Zhu Family was mourning his death? In his life, although he had never really entered a school, he had read a lot of books. Don't lie to him!
Talk to Liu Tian again and not to him, Jiang Ting? Oh, then it's fine...
Liu Tian's heart was bleeding, so he could only force a smile. "Then, what do you think we should do?"
"How can we say that?"
After pausing for a moment, Zhu He said casually, "But think about it, Patriarch Liu. Our Zhu Family is filled with grief over Zhu San's death... If Patriarch Liu wants to make it up to us, then... He wants to make it up to the entire Zhu Family, from Patriarch Liu to Patriarch Liu. What do you think, Patriarch Liu? "
" That's right. " Liu Tian's face turned pale.
"Then..."
Zhu He lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he had an idea. "Previously, the Liu Family's Patriarch also said that the Liu Family's old ancestor has passed away. Now, the Liu Family is so big and powerful, but it is difficult for them to bear the weight... How about this? I think... The Liu family's shop in the east, west, north of the city, I think it's pretty good too. Why don't the Liu family use those shops as compensation? "
After saying that, Zhu He was intentionally or unintentionally concerned. "The Liu family's residence is located in the south city. With the shops in the south city, it should be enough to cover the Liu family's expenses."
"Don't go too far!" Liu Peng, who had been silent the entire time, shouted in a low and angry voice.
Zhu He, however, was not angry. He smiled and shook his head. "How can this be going too far? If the two of you think that I'm too much... Then... I'll go home and ask the old ancestor to come and talk to you? "
Liu Peng immediately lowered his head like a leaking balloon and remained silent.
The old ancestor of the Liu family died in meditation. Facing the attack of the Zhu family, the Liu family... had no power to resist.
As for the conflict between Liu Xun and the Zhu Family at the entrance of the city square... That was only an excuse.
Barter? The Liu Family Patriarch was already dead. How could the Liu Family have the right to bargain with the Zhu Family?
After remaining silent for a long time, Liu Tianqiang laughed. "Presently, my Liu Clan doesn't have enough hands, so I have to thank the Zhu Clan for sharing the burden of my Liu Clan... Fellow Daoist, don't worry, I'll send someone to the Zhu Clan tomorrow to carry out the handover."
"Since that's the case... then I'll leave and sweep the bed and wait." With a playful laugh, Zhu He turned around and flew out of the Liu family's residence in a carefree manner.
He didn't put the Liu family in his eyes at all.
"Damn it!" When Zhu He's figure dispersed, Liu Peng let out a low roar, his face full of anger.
Speaking up to this point, he had no choice but to mention the scope of the two clans' control.
The Songning Store was huge, and the two shops had opened countless shops in the marketplace... Counting it all, the total number of shops in the Songning Store was at least thirty percent.
The profits from the two shops could be divided into three parts.
First, the taxes of the various shops in the marketplace... However, because the Liu family's old ancestor had died, the Liu family had not been able to collect taxes for several years. Many of the taxes had been taken away by the Zhu family.
On the surface, the Liu family was temporarily collecting the taxes on behalf of the Liu family. The Liu family could go to the Zhu family to retrieve them at any time... However, with the current state of the Liu family, would they dare to do so? No!
And the tax would take up about 30% of the Liu family's profits.
The second benefit was the shop.
The Liu family had many shops. Maybe they sold the spiritual plants planted by the family, or maybe they were the ores and metals that the Liu family dug out of the city. At the same time, those shops would also buy and sell from other places.
Wait a minute. Wait, many shops occupied at least 50% of the Liu family's profits... But now, other than the southern part of the city, all the shops in other places had fallen into the hands of the Zhu family!1
Even if the Zhu family did not destroy the Liu family in the future, they would definitely corrode the spirit farmlands, mines, and so on...
As for the third, there were many miscellaneous items that were not worth mentioning.
Now, the Liu family no longer had any taxes, and the shops were also taken away by the Zhu family... Without sufficient income, even if the Zhu family did not make a move against the Liu family, how long could the Liu family last?
To cultivate and cultivate, what one cultivated was resources.
Without resources, what right did the Liu family have to support so many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment realm cultivators?
Even if the bloodline within the family is the same... But, without resources, how long can those people last?
Fortunately, the Liu family had been in Songning Workshop for many years. Currently, there were still enough resources in the treasury, so they were not worried for the time being.
"Damn it, Zhu Clan! Damn it, damn it!" Liu Peng was still roaring with rage, and he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes seemed to be on the verge of splitting apart, and they seemed to be on the verge of burning. It was difficult for him to maintain his previous image of a good person.
In next to no time, he turned his gaze towards Liu Xun... As far as he was concerned, if it wasn't for Liu Xun, then where would the Zhu Clan have come from today?
"Elder... Elder." Liu Peng's gaze caused Liu Xun to shudder and bow with trembling hands.
Liu Peng's mana spread all over his body. "To think that you're still here!"
Even if he killed Liu Xun in the next moment, no one would doubt it.
At the crucial moment.
Liu Xun took a glance and shook his head dejectedly. "It has nothing to do with him. Who asked my Liu family to be weaker than him? Even if it wasn't for him, there would still be others who would be used as an excuse by the Zhu family sooner or later..."
It was not that Liu Tian was not angry or angry. In his opinion, since it was a fact that he had been blackmailed by the Zhu family, there was no need for him to continue alienating Jiang Ting.
That's right, Jiang Ting.
The Liu family had many internal conflicts, and it was all because they didn't want to suffer a great loss because of Jiang Ting. But now... Losing was already a fact. At the same time, don't forget the reason why Jiang Ting appeared in Songning Workshop. He had come here to help the Liu family.
Even if he killed Liu Xun right now, the loss would not come back. Instead, it would cause Jiang Ting to leave and make the Liu family lose a helper.
Having made up his mind, Liu Tianqiang strengthened his spirit and turned his head to repair their relationship. "Fellow Daoist, this matter is all about the Zhu family. Please don't blame us."
"It's fine. I was only invited." Jiang Ting revealed a brilliant smile.
Indeed, he didn't care about the Liu family... He had only come to accept the invitation.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so generous. Before this, my Liu family... I, Liu, have let you down..." Liu Tian's face was filled with tears.
Jiang Ting shook his head and yawned. "It's fine... I am also somewhat similar. Liu Family Head, what do you think?"
"It's my fault. Fellow Daoist, you came all the way here and forgot to prepare a banquet to welcome you..."
After nagging for a while, Liu Tiancai looked at the few Qi Practitioners in the distance and said, "The few of you, bring Fellow Daoist and Liu Xun down... Mm, bring Fellow Daoist to the Maple Forest Pavilion to rest. "
