As a time-honored grain firm of Taiyuan government, the Xu family is not an outsider. They have been from Taiyuan government for generations. It is said that the Xu family also donated grain when the Li Tang Dynasty broke up. During the Li Tang Dynasty, the Xu family's grain business was booming. There were five or six shops in Taiyuan City alone, accounting for almost one-third of the grain market in Taiyuan city.
It is the so-called "success and failure", because the donation to Li Tang made the Xu family brilliant during the Li Tang Dynasty, and it also led to a heavy blow to the Xu family after Wu Zhou replaced Li Tang.
Especially in those years when Wu Zhou just replaced Li Tang, all officials appointed by Wu Zhou Dynasty to be the governor of Taiyuan city will try their best to catch the people related to Li Tang and find stubble to beat. After all, the world of Wu Zhou was not stable at that time. There were sporadic resistance all over the country. Beating people related to Li Tang was also to consolidate the regime. Even if some of these means were not visible, they often turned a blind eye.
It is precisely because of the tacit consent of the high-level that local officials get a lot of benefits in the process of beating, so they are happy to do it.
Officials got benefits. The common people were indifferent to such things. It was families like the Xu family that really suffered.
Things in the world often have consequences. After suffering a lot of unfair treatment, the Xu family gritted their teeth and insisted. On the contrary, the whole family became more tenacious. In order to deal with these treatments, they also thought of many ways.
With the passage of time, the influence left by the Li Tang Dynasty gradually became indifferent. The Xu family was silent for several generations and slowly disappeared from the list of objects knocked by the government.
When almost no one thought of the Xu family, the Xu family began their old business again, starting from the smallest dealer and gradually returning to the track they used to be. Collude with the government, sell grain, and even secretly manipulate the grain market. Everything seems to be no different from the past, but after such a dispute, the Xu family has no good feelings for the imperial court. In order to ensure their own interests, they do not hesitate to spend a high price to raise thugs at home.
Although these thugs consume a lot of money from the Xu family every year, they also bring a sense of security to the Xu family. Especially when the Xu family finds that these people who work hard for money can not only guard the house, but also do more as long as they pay enough price, the Xu family doesn't think it's a waste to feed these people.
These people can be used when bullying the market, when purchasing at a low price, and when competing with other grain firms. In short, these people can be used when the Xu family is unwilling to solve it by normal means.
The Xu family, who tasted the sweetness, naturally went farther and farther on the road of raising thugs, but they always did it very carefully. They tried not to let these people from the green forest appear under the eyes of the government. Coupled with the management of Yamen service officials at ordinary times, the Xu family has always been smooth in Taiyuan for decades.
But today, the government even attacked the Xu family, and it is the extreme of copying the family. How can the Xu family, who has long been proud and pampered, agree?
If there are enough yamen servants and warriors in the city at ordinary times, the Xu family may not dare to fight the government with such a high profile, but now it is different. Who doesn't know that today's Taiyuan city is like a mud Bodhisattva crossing the river, which can't tell when it will fall apart. In that case, why should the Xu family care whether their strength will be exposed?
"Kill them, kill them, and we'll rush out of the city. It's a big deal to be a mountain king!"
One of the Xu's lineages is also armed with a sword. His face is ferocious. He points to Li Luoyang and others outside the door and yells loudly.
"Tut tut."
Li Luoyang shook his head. He didn't expect the Xu family to be so crazy. In fact, Mo Jiao's meaning was very clear yesterday. Copying the family was just copying the family. The focus was on grain, not killing all the grain merchant's family. If they cooperated and found out later that the problem was not too serious, what should be returned to them should be returned to them when the crisis passed. After all, the imperial court still had to be reasonable, even if the truth was actually told to other businessmen.
However, the Xu family obviously didn't know this situation, because their past experience made them always wary of the Wuzhou court, thinking that this was another liquidation. In order not to let the family fall into darkness again, the Xu family was so excited that they decided to fight with the court!
The most critical problem is that the Xu family should not show the obvious taboos such as armour clothes. Of course, these things may be exposed in the process of copying the family. However, being copied and directly showing them are two different things.
"According to the laws and regulations of the imperial court, it is a capital crime to hide armor, clothes, bows and crossbows, etc."
Li Luoyang shook his head and walked towards the door of the Xu family.
There are a lot of thugs in the door. Each one seems to be very majestic. However, Li Luoyang swept his eyes, but he didn't find that one thug was born from an internal practice. All of them practice external Kung Fu. In the eyes of experts at Li Luoyang's level, it is actually a facade.
Just as Li Luoyang commented on Wu San, if you don't practice martial arts, you will end up in vain. Without the support of internal breathing, only relying on the strength of the body can always cause limited damage. More importantly, without the support of internal breathing, the continuous combat ability of the body is also limited.
In other words, those who practice inside and outside are not at the same level in essence, so Li Luoyang doesn't worry at all.
"Kill!"
Two tall and strong thugs led the iron whip and smashed Wu San's forehead. It seemed that they had great power. The roar of the iron whip was piercing and chasing souls.
Wu San smiled coldly. He didn't pay attention to their attack. When he twisted his body left and right, he avoided the disorganized attack. At the same time, he spread his arms, left and right. He was stunned and fell to the side through his armour.
"Tujiwa dog is vulnerable!"
Seeing this scene, Li Luoyang felt sad again for the ignorance of the Xu family.
Isn't it? Of course, money can buy off some vicious people, but how much money can a grain merchant give? Besides, there is always an upper limit on the efficacy of money. Beyond this limit, the efficacy of money will gradually become weaker and even useless.
The simplest example is that old man Zhu, the person in charge of liumen stationed in Taiyuan government, is afraid that one person can easily sweep through a Xu family, which can not be changed by money at all.
With a long sigh, Li Luoyang went straight to the guy who had just shouted and turned a blind eye to the people who wanted to attack him along the way.
