Shinto rewards

Chapter 44

Qingfeng City is located in the west of Chitian Kingdom in the south of Tianyuan Continent, and there are three major families in the city.The Li family that Li Chou belongs to ranks ninth in the Qingfeng City family, and can only be regarded as a third-rate family of nouveau riche, and its position can be said to be rather embarrassing.

What is even more embarrassing is that the Li family is not the only family ranked ninth in the city. It can be said that apart from the top three first-class families, the remaining five medium-sized families all claim to be ranked fourth. Finally, more than a dozen third-rate families whose strength did not reach the standard of a medium-sized family all said that they ranked ninth.

In fact, the Li family does have the strength to aspire to become the ninth family in Qingfeng City.To be precise, it is economic strength.

Although judging from the background and strength of the family, the Li family can only be regarded as the middle level among the third-rate families at best, but the financial resources of the Li family are far ahead of other third-rate families, and even many medium-sized families may not It is comparable to the wealth of the Li family.

However, if the speed of rise is too fast, it means that the background is insufficient.Once the caravan was attacked, the Li family was completely pushed into bankruptcy.

At this moment, the gloomy Li family had no choice but to welcome a bad guest with a smile on their faces.

"Brother Tianyang, Brother Tianxing, as I have already said, the friendship between us is friendship, and business is business. Although I also sympathize with what happened to your family, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I also have a problem." The family needs to feed." A middle-aged man in a khaki-colored brocade suit sat on a grand master's chair in the living room of Li's family, and said so.

This man is dark and thin, his eyes are a bit brighter than ordinary people's. Just one glance will give people a shrewd and capable subjective impression.

This person is none other than Zhao Jianhao, the patriarch of the Zhao family, who is also one of the ninth largest families in Qingfeng City.

Sitting opposite to Zhao Jianhao were two middle-aged people who looked alike. They were Li Chou's uncle Li Tianyang and his third uncle Li Tianxing. At the moment, they both looked gloomy and listless.

After hearing Zhao Jianhao's words, Li Tianyang could only bite the bullet and said: "Brother Jianhao, our family has indeed had some problems in the turnover recently, see if you can give it a few days. As long as the second brother comes back, I will definitely have a share of the money owed to you." A lot will be returned to you."

"Come back?" Zhao Jianhao curled his lips in disdain and said, "If he can come back, will your family still be reduced to this field? The attack on the Li family's caravan has already spread in Qingfeng City , a large number of guards were killed, Li Tianhua and Li Chou are missing, and even all the goods are lost. Even if Li Tianhua can really come back, where will he get the money to pay me back?"

"Brother Jianhao." Li Tianxing on the other side also said at this time: "It is precisely because we compensate the family members of the guards with a large amount of pensions that the family's financial turnover is temporarily difficult."

"And you know my second brother's ability, as long as he comes back, there will be a solution."

Zhao Jianhao replied in a cold voice to the soft words of the Li family brothers: "That is not acceptable. As I have already said, our Zhao family has also encountered troubles during this period of time. Either you pay me back the money now, or, I will take over the seven stores you leave home in the city center according to the contract, choose one of the two, and you should make a decision as soon as possible."

The expressions of the two Li family brothers couldn't help but change at the same time.The so-called poor culture and rich martial arts, money is also very important in Tianyuan Continent, a world where martial arts are respected.And the seven shops that Zhao Jianhao talked about are the foundation of the source of income from the Li family. Once there is a loss, the foundation of the Li family will be unstable. If there is no turning point, it will only be time to be removed from the third-rate families in Qingfeng City question.

Zhao Jianhao made this request. At this time, the foundation of the Li family must be broken!

While shocked by Zhao Jianhao's ruthless attack, the two couldn't help complaining about their brothers in their hearts, how could they sign such an unfair IOU?

"Hey..." At this moment, a sigh came into the room, and a tall old man in white walked in after the curtain at the back was pulled open.

Seeing the old man appear, Li Tianyang and Li Tianxing stood up at the same time, the former said: "Father, why did you come out?"

Seeing the old man appear, even Zhao Jianhao, who was obviously here to collect debts, stood up subconsciously, and called out respectfully: "Uncle Li." But then, he seemed to think of something again, and immediately straightened his back on purpose a bit.

The old man saw Zhao Jianhao's performance in his eyes, but he didn't show any emotional fluctuations. He just walked towards the main seat in the living room and said flatly: "30 years ago, I met your father, Zhao Xiang, and we were in love with each other. They became like brothers, and then supported each other to set up the Li family and the Zhao family."

"Twenty years ago, Brother Zhao took the first step. At that time, the five brothers of your Zhao family were still young and not enough to shock Xiaoxiao. It was the old man and the Li family who worked together with the Zhao family to help you withstand all aspects It was the pressure that allowed you to survive those years of crisis and gain a firm foothold in Qingfeng City again."

While talking, the old man had already come to his seat, and after sitting down slowly, he continued: "Eight years ago, the fourth son of your family fell into his trap, which not only ruined all the working capital in your family, but also A huge sum of 180 million taels is owed."

"It was Tianhua who gave up the Li family's original plan to further develop and grow, and lent you all the working capital of 240 million taels, so that your Zhao family could survive another catastrophe."

"Why, now that Brother Zhao is gone and Tianhua is missing, will the relationship between our two families be broken?" After the old man sighed, he fixed his eyes on Zhao Jianhao and asked in a deep voice: "Now Our Li family has just encountered a little trouble, so you can't wait to come and add trouble?"

Listening to the old man's narration of these old events, the expression on Zhao Jianhao's face kept changing. It was not until the old man had finished speaking for a long time that he adjusted his mentality again, and said with a serious face: "Uncle Li, I have already said it before. It belongs to friendship, and business belongs to business, and they cannot be confused."

"Besides, our Zhao family is also in trouble now, and we need money urgently."

"Oh?" The old man continued to ask with an expression on his face: "Then can you tell me what kind of trouble your Zhao family has encountered, and let us work together to find a solution."

"This..." Zhao Jianhao's tone faltered, and he said in a deep voice, "That's our Zhao family's business, so Uncle Li doesn't need to worry about it!"

By now, Zhao Jianhao didn't even bother to find an excuse, or he couldn't think of any suitable interface for a while, but fortunately, he directly tore his face.

"Hehe... Uncle Zhao is so angry." Just when the atmosphere in the living room had reached its peak, a slightly frivolous voice suddenly came from the door, followed by a man who looked about ten A five or six-year-old boy walked in.

The young man was dressed in white, with a slightly weird white cloak behind him. His whole body was full of sunlight, and he unconsciously gave people a feeling of being willing to get close to him.

Who else can have such a unique temperament, not Li Zou?
