Chapter 58: The Evil of the Zhao Family (IV)
Although I had already been prepared for someone from the Zhao family to obstruct me, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Chen Zhuozheng said in a deep voice: "Zhao Baili, get out of the way."
"Patriarch Chen, Manager Xu, don't panic." Zhao Baili smiled slightly, "I didn't come here to obstruct you two. On the contrary, I want to lend a helping hand to you two."
Xu Qiuqian and Chen Zhuozheng were both stunned.
"Do you know what we are going to do?"
"Of course, I have already told my father and my second brother about what the Zhao family did, asking them to stop doing evil, but they insisted on doing it, saying that if they didn't do so, how could the Zhao family achieve its current status."
Zhao Baili sighed, his expression painful.
“I advised them that the Zhao family had become one of the major families in Youling City and that it was time to stop, but they were unwilling to do so. They said that once the Zhao family became the leader of Youling City and spread their business across Xuanyun Continent, even if the other families knew what they were doing, they would not be able to do anything to the Zhao family.
Just like the An family and Xiang family of the past.
I have long wanted to tell the other families about this, but I just couldn't make up my mind until I came to see Manager Xu today and heard a few words of the conversation between Manager Xu and the An family, and then I made up my mind."
As he spoke, he bowed to Xu Qiuqian and the other person.
"The Zhao family has committed many evil deeds. My second brother and father did all kinds of evil things back then. I expected this day to come. But the other disciples of the Zhao family who were unaware of the situation are innocent. I would like to lend you a helping hand. I just hope you can let them go and not kill them all."
Xu Qiuqian remained silent.
It’s none of her business, and it’s not her decision whether to let the innocent people of the Zhao family go.
Of course, Zhao Baili was determined to take drastic measures, and maybe he could really save some members of the Zhao family from the anger of several major families and the City Lord's Mansion.
Just wait and see what happens to the others.
She looked at Chen Zhuozheng.
Chen Zhuo had a blank expression on his face. To be honest, if he saw any member of the Zhao family now, he would want to tear them into pieces.
But he understood that there were indeed many people in the Zhao family who were unaware of the situation. If he killed all of them without explanation, then what would be the difference between him, Zhao Shiming and Zhao Wen?
only--
"I can't decide for the other families or the City Lord's Mansion. If they agree, I have no objection."
Zhao Baili was suddenly very excited.
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen, for your kindness!"
"Don't flatter me." Chen Zhuozheng waved his hands impatiently, "Since you want to find a way out for the innocent people of the Zhao family, then come with us to meet the other families."
"Okay." Zhao Baili responded quickly.
The three of them went to the Xiao family.
The people who came to pick them up from the Xiao family were subordinates of Xiao Pingyue, the seventh-ranked son of the Xiao family.
Came to the hall in Xiao Pingyue's courtyard.
Seeing the three people coming over, Xiao Pingyue smiled and said, "I originally said that I would apologize to Manager Xu in person after I finished my work in the past two days, but I didn't expect Manager Xu to come here first."
"What are you apologizing for?"
"When Manager Xu asked Xie Ziyi to convey his willingness to cooperate with the Xiao family, I was in seclusion. It was only after I came out that I learned that my fifth brother had rejected Manager Xu's cooperation." Xiao Pingyue looked apologetic, and he seemed sincere.
"It's okay, they are all small things." Xu Qiu replied with a smile.
Everyone knows how to say something to save face.
When doing business, no one will say anything absolute. After all, there are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies.
What's more, she and the Xiao family are not enemies.
"Manager Xu is indeed generous. I am relieved now. I wonder why you three are here today?"
Compared to Xiao Jueshan, Xiao Pingyue is obviously much better at speaking and behaving.
At this moment, he had a smile on his face and a gentle expression. He looked like he had everything under control and would not be upset by anything.
Xu Qiuqian took out the jade slip.
"Take a look at this first."
"What's this?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Xiao Pingyue had no choice but to probe with his spiritual sense. At first he could still maintain a smile, but later the smile gradually disappeared and finally his face turned ashen.
The Xiao family, which has the closest ties with the Zhao family and has even formed several marriages with the Zhao family, actually has the most disciples killed by the Zhao family!
How could he not be angry?!
But he is not as impulsive as Chen Zhuozheng and still has a trace of rationality left.
"Is what it says serious?" He asked himself and answered, "The An family doesn't have the guts yet."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Zhao Baili.
Zhao Baili naturally understood what Xiao Pingyue wanted to ask. On the way, he read the contents of the jade slip, which was roughly the same as what he knew. Zhao Shiming did not hide anything from him.
He nodded, and then repeated to Xiao Pingyue what he had just said to Xu Qiuqian and the other person.
Xiao Pingyue stroked the jade slip with a calm expression but a cold tone.
"When the Zhao family massacred my Xiao family's disciples, did they ever think that they were innocent?"
Zhao Baili was suddenly speechless.
"I'm sorry..." He looked ashamed.
Xiao Pingyue stood up and said, "If you can revive the disciples of my Xiao family who were killed by the Zhao family, I can consider what you said."
No negotiation.
He looked at Xu Qiuqian and Chen Zhuozheng.
"I'm sorry for letting you see my embarrassing side. I will send someone to gather the other families and the City Lord's Mansion to discuss how to deal with the Zhao family. Before that, please take a rest. I'll leave you for now."
After saying this, he strode out of the hall holding the jade slip.
Xu Qiuqian didn't understand what was going on. What did such an embarrassing side mean? Looking at Zhao Baili who lowered his head and remained silent, Chen Zhuo was sighing.
Chen Zhuozheng expected Xiao Pingyue's reaction.
Of course, he didn't say those words to Zhao Baili just because he knew Xiao Pingyue would refuse. If Xiao Pingyue and the other families agreed, he would not have any objection.
"You think they are innocent because they don't know anything about it, but have you ever thought about where they get their resources? Every pill they take, every magic weapon, talisman, and spirit stone they use are all stained with countless blood."
After saying that, Chen Zhuozheng walked out of the hall.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at Zhao Baili, said nothing, and walked out of the hall.
Seeing Chen Zhuo staring at the rockery outside in a daze, Xu Qiuqian walked over.
"Manager Xu may not know the name of the Xiao family's Seventh Master. Although Xiao Jueshan is in charge of the Xiao family's business, Xiao Jueshan will always ask for Xiao Pingyue's opinion before making any decision. Not only him, but also people who manage other aspects of the Xiao family will ask for his opinion.
Xiao Pingyue's aptitude is average, but his mind is first-rate. He has been able to do everything with ease and calmly since he was a child. This is why the Xiao family can still sit firmly at the top of the major families even though the main branch is in Youling City.
He never showed an angry expression in front of outsiders. "
Only then did Xu Qiuqian understand why Xiao Pingyue said that.
It is also conceivable how vicious the Zhao family's actions were to make Xiao Pingyue unable to control his emotions.
An hour later, people from several other families and the City Lord's Mansion gathered at the Xiao family.
