Qingfeng City is located in the western part of the Red Heaven Kingdom in the south of the Tian Yuan Continent, and there are three major families in the city.
The Li family, where Li Fu is located, ranks ninth in the Qingfeng City family, and can only be regarded as a nouveau riche third-rate family, and its position can be said to be rather embarrassing.
What's even more embarrassing is that the Li family is not the only family that ranks ninth in the city, it can be said that in addition to the top three first-class families, the remaining five medium-sized families all say that they are the fourth-ranked families, and after that, more than ten third-rate families whose strength does not meet the standards of medium-sized families all say that they are ranked ninth.
In fact, the Li family does have the strength to win the ninth family in Qingfeng City.
To be precise, economic power.
Although according to the family's heritage and strength, the Li family can only be regarded as the midstream level among the third-rate families at best, but the Li family's financial resources are far ahead of other third-rate families, and even many medium-sized families may not be as rich as the Li family's wealth.
However, if the rise is too fast, it means that the foundation is insufficient.
An attack on a caravan completely forced the Li family into a predicament of facing bankruptcy.
At this moment, the Li family, who were gloomy and bleak, had to accompany the smiling face to receive a villain.
"Brother Tianyang, Brother Tianxing, I have already said that the friendship between us is friendship, and business is business.
Although I am deeply sympathetic to what happened to your family, my brother still has to settle accounts, and I also have a family to support.
A middle-aged man in an earthy yellow brocade robe sat on a Taishi chair in the living room of the Li family, and said.
This man is dark and lean, and his eyes are a little brighter than ordinary people, and just one glance will give people a subjective impression of shrewdness and ability.
This person is none other than Zhao Jianhao, the head of the Zhao family, who is also one of the ninth largest families in Qingfeng City.
Sitting opposite Zhao Jianhao were two middle-aged people who looked six or seven points similar, it was Li Tianyang, Li Tianyang, the eldest uncle of Li Yuan, and his third uncle Li Tianxing, both of whom looked gloomy and bleak at the moment, looking listless.
After listening to Zhao Jianhao's words, Li Tianyang could only stubbornly say: "Brother Jianhao, our family has indeed had some problems in turnover recently, see if you can give a few days of grace."
As long as the second brother comes back, the money owed to you will definitely be returned to you. ” "Come back?"
Zhao Jianhao pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this: "If he can come back, will your family still be reduced to the current field?"
The news of the attack on the Li family's caravan has now spread in Qingfeng City, a large number of guards have been killed, Li Tianhua and Li Fei are nowhere to be found, and even the goods have been lost.
Even if Li Tianhua can really come back, where will he get the money to pay me back?
” "Brother Jianhao."
Li Tianxing, who was on the other side, also said at this time: "It is precisely because we compensated the families of the guards a large amount of pensions that the family's economy could not be turned over for a while. ” "And you also know my second brother's ability, as long as he comes back, there will definitely be a way."
Regarding the soft words of the Li family brothers, Zhao Jianhao replied coldly: "That's not good.
As I already said, our Zhao family has also been in trouble during this time.
Either you pay me back now, or I'll take over your seven shops in the center of the city according to the contract, and you should decide as soon as possible. ” The two brothers of the Li family couldn't help but change their faces at the same time when they heard this.
The so-called poor literature and rich martial arts are also very important in the Tianyuan Continent, a world where martial arts are respected.
And the seven shops in Zhao Jianhao's mouth are the foundation of the source of income from the family, once it is lost, the foundation of the Li family will be unstable, if there is no turnaround, it is only a matter of time before it is removed from the third-rate family in Qingfeng City.
Zhao Jianhao made this request, and at this time, he wanted to break the foundation of the Li family!
While shocked by Zhao Jianhao's ruthlessness, the two couldn't help but complain in their hearts about their brother, how could they sign such an unfair IOU in the first place?
"Hey......"
At this moment, a sigh came into the room, and the curtain behind the door was opened, and a tall old man in white walked in.
As soon as they saw this old man appear, Li Tianyang and Li Tianxing stood up at the same time, and the former said, "Dad, why did you come out too?"
” Seeing the old man appear, even Zhao Jianhao, who was obviously here to collect debts, subconsciously stood up and called out respectfully: "Li Bo."
But then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately deliberately straightened his waist a little.
The old man saw Zhao Jianhao's performance in his eyes, but he didn't show any emotional fluctuations, but walked towards the main seat in the living room, and said flatly: "Thirty years ago, I got acquainted with your father Zhao Xiang, and we became brothers with each other, and then supported each other to lay down the family business of 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 they were not enough to deter Xiaoxiao.
It was the old man and the Li family who advanced and retreated together with the Zhao family to help you withstand the pressure from all sides, so that you could get through the crisis time of those few years and gain a firm foothold in Qingfeng City again. ” As he spoke, the old man had already come to his seat, and after slowly sitting down, he continued: "Eight years ago, the fourth child of your family fell into the trap of others, not only lost all the liquidity in your family, but also owed a huge amount of 1.8 million taels. ” "It was Tianhua who gave up the Li family's original plan to further develop and grow, and lent you all the 2.4 million taels of liquidity, so that your Zhao family could survive the catastrophe again."
"What, now that Brother Zhao is gone, Tianhua is missing, is the relationship between our two families broken?"
After the old man sighed, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhao Jianhao, and he asked in a deep voice: "Now that our Li family has just encountered a little trouble, you can't wait to fall into the well?"
” Listening to the old man's statement of these old events, the expression on Zhao Jianhao's face couldn't help but change, and it wasn't until the old man finished speaking for a long time that he adjusted his mentality again, and said with a sinking face: "Li Bo, I have already said before, friendship is friendship, business is business, and it can't be mixed up." ” "Moreover, our Zhao family is also in trouble now, and we urgently need money."
"Oh?"
The old man continued to ask with a facial expression: "Then can you tell the old man what trouble your Zhao family has encountered, let's think of a way together." ” "This ......"
Zhao Jianhao's tone froze, and then said in a deep voice: "That's our Zhao family's business, so you don't need Li Bo 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 tore his face directly.
"Yo-he......

Uncle Zhao is so angry.
Just as the atmosphere in the living room had reached its extreme, a slightly flirtatious voice suddenly came from the doorway, followed by a young man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The young man was dressed in white, and he was wearing a white cloak with a slightly strange style behind him, and his whole body was full of sunshine, which unconsciously gave people a feeling of being willing to be close to him. can have such a unique temperament, who is not Li Fei?
