One person cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 59 Persecution from the Two Great Families
Both Gu Mo and Li Zeqian looked surprised,
Yuan Wei was a little puzzled and said, "What's the matter, leader, Mr. Li, why do you all have such expressions?"

Li Zeqian explained: "Second brother Yuan, people from the Chen family in Changling are also here!"

Yuan Wei asked in surprise, "What are the people from the Chen family doing here?"

"I don't know!" Li Zeqian said.

"Where did you arrange them?" Yuan Wei asked.

"It's also in the east courtyard!"

"Who is here?" Yuan Wei asked.

"Chen Yun, the second son of the Chen family, what about the Yang family?" Li Zeqian asked again.

"Deacon Liu Xi."

……

at this time,

Outside the living room of the east courtyard, Liu Xi, the deacon of the Yang family, was led into the living room by a member of the Jiuli gang. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Yun sitting in the main seat. Ah, I didn't expect Second Young Master Chen to be here!"

As the two great families of Tianyang City, there are naturally many frictions between them, and they also know each other well.

Although Chen Yun was a dude, he was naturally very familiar with the Yang family who was competing with him, and he recognized Liu Xi, the chief deacon of the Yang family, at a glance.

"It's a coincidence that Deacon Liu is so free today, so he came here for a walk?" Chen Yun said indifferently.

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Jiuli Gang is a vassal force of the Yang family. It's normal for me to appear here, but it's unreasonable for you to appear here, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yun glanced at Liu Xi and said, "What's the matter, where am I going, do I still need to report to you, Liu Xi?"

"Don't dare." Liu Xi found a chair and sat down casually, and said, "I don't know why Second Master Chen came to Jiuli Gang today?"

"Do I need to tell you?" Chen Yun said disdainfully.

"no, I'm fine."

Liu Xi smiled on the surface, but felt contempt in his heart.
This second son of the Chen family is a well-known dandy in Tianyang County. When I saw him today, he really fits the rumored appearance. He is just an arrogant and domineering son of an aristocratic family.

at this time,

Gu Mo showed up at the door with someone.

He was the first to see Chen Yun sitting on the main seat, and his face immediately sank.
This person actually directly took the host's place and sat in the host's place.

Chen Yun, who was sitting on the main seat, also noticed Gu Mo's gaze, but he didn't care, and said, "You are Gu Mo?"

Gu Mo sat on the chair next to him, picked up a cup of tea, and did not speak.

Chen Yun was a little annoyed immediately, and said, "I am Chen Yun, the second son of the Chen family!"

"Oh." Gu Mo responded perfunctorily.

Chen Yun immediately felt that he couldn't hold back his face. He slapped the table and said angrily, "Gu Mo, what's your attitude and what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Gu Mo slowly put down his teacup, looked at Chen Yun, and said flatly, "Then I wonder what attitude Chen Ergong thinks I should have in order to show respect for you?"

Chen Yun said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you, the majestic leader of the gang, don't even know the rules of saluting when meeting people?"

Gu Mo sneered, and said, "Since Mr. Chen also knows that I am the leader of the gang, why do you think you should accept my gift?"

"Because I am the second son of the Chen family!" Chen Yun said.

Gu Mo smiled lightly, and said: "I have nothing to do with the Chen family, the second son of Chen came today uninvited, and sat in my seat as soon as he came, the etiquette of the Chen family is not in place. If you want to be a villain, why should I salute you!"

Chen Yun choked for a moment, waved his hands, and said, "I'm not interested in talking to you. I came here today for just one thing. You took down the Feiying Gang and seized the territory of the Feiying Gang. It's been so long and you don't want to talk to me." The Chen family said hello, what do you mean?"

Gu Mo smiled lightly and said, "Second Master Chen, the matter between my Jiuli Gang and the Feiying Gang has nothing to do with your Chen family, right? Are you here to stand up for the Feiying Gang and come to Xingshi to question the crime?"

"It doesn't matter why," Chen Yun said, "The Flying Eagle Gang is a vassal force of my Chen family. Every quarter, it pays 10,000+ taels of silver. Now you beat it without saying a word, causing my Chen family to lose so much. Account, how to calculate, how to compensate?"

Gu Mo chuckled lightly and said, "Second Master Chen, the rules of the Jianghu are not calculated in this way, so you have to calculate it according to your calculation. There are so many battles in the Jianghu in Tianyang County every year. Does every family need the consent of your Chen family to fight? It's not my turn to be responsible for your loss."

Chen Yun said coldly: "Don't talk about the rules of the world, the Flying Eagle Gang has always made confessions to me, you have caused me such a big loss now, you must pay for it, I am not here today to discuss it with you, I’m here to inform you that from now on, your Jiuli Gang must pay me 20 taels every quarter, listen clearly, this is a notice, not a discussion with you, and you have no right to object.”

Gu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "My Jiuli Gang has always been a vassal force of the Yang family in Chunshen Lake. The second son of Chen's hand is so long, have you ever asked the Yang family's opinion?"

Chen Yun frowned, looked at Liu Xi, and said, "Deacon Liu, is your Yang family here to take care of this business?"

Liu Xi was slightly taken aback,
He is not interested in offending this dandy and causing trouble for himself,
and,

It is also impossible for the Yang family to clash with the Chen family because of a Jiuli gang. He hastily smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Second Master Chen misunderstood. This is a personal grievance between you and the Jiuli gang. My Yang family will not interfere."

Gu Mo frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xi, and said, "Deacon Liu, what do you mean, that in the future, my Jiuli Gang will be owned by the Chen family, and every quarterly offerings will be handed over to the Chen family?"

Liu Xi shook his head, and said: "Master Gu misunderstood, my Yang family just doesn't interfere with your Jiuli's personal grievances with Mr. Chen, but you still have to pay the confession every quarter. In addition, I'm here today to make an announcement on behalf of the Yang family.

Gu Gangzhu, you are now leading the Jiuli Gang to take down the Feiying Gang, and the territory has almost doubled. Naturally, the offerings for each quarter can no longer be given as before. The tael has been raised to 15 taels, the notice has been brought, Gu Bangzhu, let’s prepare as soon as possible! "

As soon as Liu Xi said this,

Both Yuan Wei and Li Zeqian changed their faces,

This is to force the Jiuli Gang to a dead end.

One is 20 taels, and the other is 25 taels. The Jiuli Gang earns half a year, which is not enough to pay for these two families.

Gu Mo did not speak, drinking tea quietly.

Liu Xi smiled slightly, and said, "Master Gu, you have informed me that you have arrived, so I won't delay your preparation of the silver taels soon. It will be time to make an offering in three days, so farewell!"

Chen Yun, who was on the main seat, also stood up and said, "I have to prepare the money for me as soon as possible. I will come to withdraw the money in three days!"

When the two of them walked to the door of the hall,
Gu Mo's plain voice sounded in the silent hall: "Don't wait for three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer today!"
