The Fourth Financial Crisis

Seeing Liu Hanxing's face turning red and white, and being speechless for a long time, Jiang Hua'an continued to add: "Those of us who do business have always paid attention to your wishes. If the Zhu family can't negotiate the business, there's nothing we can do about it." ah!"

Zhu Ziming, of course he can’t negotiate business!

Because Zhu Ziming is now a walking god of death, and anyone he talks to about business will die.

If you have the guts to directly challenge the Haiya group, why do you have to hang yourself on the tree of Zhu Ziming?

Seeing that Jiang Hua'an was always avoiding the question, Liu Hanxing stopped pretending and went straight to the point: "I, Liu Hanxing, have come in person today. I wonder if City Master Jiang can give me a little face and let the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce take a piece of it to start a charity. Where’s the church’s land?”

Jiang Hua'an seemed not to understand what Liu Hanxing meant, and said with a smile: "In our Haiya City, you can come and go freely! If President Liu wants to buy land, he can just find any Haiya City businessman. There is no need to specifically ask for my opinion. !”

Liu Hanxing saw that the other party was still pretending to be stupid, so he made it clear and said: "What if I want to buy the land directly from you?"

Jiang Hua'an spread his hands and said: "The land of the Haiya City Lord's Mansion is tight, and there is really no land that can be sold!"

Liu Hanxing's face instantly darkened, and he slapped the tea cup in his hand on the table. A powerful wave of spiritual energy rushed towards the tea cup in Jiang Hua'an's hand. When Jiang Hua'an saw this, he immediately poured his own mana into his tea cup. , trying to resist Liu Hanxing's sudden attack.

However, the energy generated by Liu Hanxing seemed ordinary, but inside it contained the supreme sword intent of the Human Sword of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and it actually exploded the tea cup in Jiang Hua'an's hand to pieces.

Obviously, as both a second-level Jindan cultivator, Liu Hanxing's strength is clearly superior to Jiang Hua'an!

Looking at the shattered tea cup in his hand, Jiang Hua'an showed no fear at all. He just shook his head and chuckled: "President Liu is indeed very powerful. Jiang admires him!"

Liu Hanxing said in a deep voice: "City Lord Jiang, do you really plan to fight us to the end?"

"Our Haiya Sect is business-oriented and never wants to get involved in any kind of political struggle!" Jiang Hua'an did not directly answer Liu Hanxing's question. After using his magic power to evaporate the spilled spiritual tea, he replied as if nothing had happened, " But the problem is that Haiya City was selected as the pilot project for Zhongzhou’s social security system reform, and it was not the result of our own choice. Now that someone has targeted us, as the leader of the sect, I must consider the interests of my sect. …”

Although Jiang Hua'an didn't say it clearly, the implication was already clear: This war was started by you, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and we, the Haiya Sect, were forced to fight back.

Liu Hanxing seemed to know that Jiang Hua'an would say this, so he took a deep breath and said: "If I can make the Haiya Chamber of Commerce become the official partner of the Wuliang Sword Sect, I wonder if Master Jiang will strongly support my work?"

Jiang Hua'an was also slightly surprised to hear that Liu Hanxing was willing to make such concessions.

However, he quickly readjusted his expression and flatly refused: "When Haiya City is selected as the pilot city, we have no way out. Governor Liu should also know this very well, even if you really want to Please ask Haiya Chamber of Commerce to come on board, and Haiya Chamber of Commerce will not be able to compete with its own base!"

Of course Liu Hanxing knew what Jiang Huaan meant.

The reform of the new generation of cultivation social security system has harmed the interests of all the vassal sects in Zhongzhou. Almost all the vassal sects are opposed to it. The Haiya clan openly confronts the Wuliang Sword sect, which is actually the result that all the major vassal sects want to see.

This is why Jiang Hua'an can easily mobilize all forces to encircle and suppress the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. The relationship network and intelligence network of the Haiya Clan are only one aspect. The support of the people in Zhongzhou's cultivation world is also important.

And if the Haiya Sect makes peace with the Wuliang Sword Sect privately, it would be equivalent to betraying all the vassal sects.

It is not just the Haiya Sect that faces this problem. No matter which sect takes the initiative to surrender to the Wuliang Sword Sect, it will offend all the local cultivation forces in Zhongzhou except the head sect of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and even the Merit Hall and Du of the Wuliang Sword Sect. branch church.

Haiya City is based on commerce and must have good relations with most of the vassal sects. Otherwise, it will not be able to carry out normal maritime trade business. If Jiang Hua'an dares to risk the disapproval of the world. If they compromise with the Wuliang Sword Sect and are boycotted by all the vassal sects in Zhongzhou, the Haiya Sect will completely lose its foothold.

Because of this, even if the much-anticipated Haiya Sect cannot withstand the pressure of the Wuliang Sword Sect, they will never retreat. Even if they have to die standing, they will never live on their knees.

From the moment the Wuliang Sword Sect chose Haiya City as a pilot for reform, the two sides had an undying relationship.

In fact, it was not that Liu Hanxing had not considered choosing those vassal sects that had a close relationship with Lin Jianxing for pilot projects, such as Qingyun City, which had already taken refuge with Lin Jianxing a long time ago.

At that time, Xia Qingyang, the lord of Qingyun City, under the instructions of Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing, single-handedly held back Chen Ming, the leader of the Mountain Eagle Sect, when the beast disaster broke out in Tianshu City.

But Liu Hanxing's choice of Qingyun City as the pilot city will certainly make the reform progress more smoothly, but Qingyun City will also become the target of all the vassal sects in Zhongzhou.

Although Qingyun City is not a commercial city like Haiya City, even if it encounters a joint boycott by various cultivation forces, the consequences will not be as fatal as the Haiya Department. However, Head Xia is willing to do things for the Head Department, in the final analysis, it is to provide Fight for the benefits of your own sect.

After doing so much dirty work for the leader. I haven't reaped any benefits at all, but I have to take the blame for the head department. Head Xia will definitely have objections. After all, everyone is a member of the head department, why should I always sacrifice my interests?

If Liu Hanxing chooses to forcibly assign the blame to his own people, it will definitely chill the hearts of many scoundrels.

In fact, Head Xia had long been worried that he would become cannon fodder for the reform pilot. In order to prevent Liu Hanxing from killing him first and then reporting later, he personally visited Lin Jianxing at the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect in advance, saying that our Qingyun City had made contributions to Head Lin, and that Having shed blood for the Wuliang Sword Sect, Liu Hanxing will never push us out to be used as cannon fodder!

As the backbone of the clan leader, Qingyun City's status is quite similar to Tianshu City's status within Duzhitang. In addition, Lin Jianxing is a very face-saving person. When he saw his loyal subordinates running up to him to complain, He couldn't help but refuse face to face, so under Lin Jianxing's personal pressure and Zhu Ziming's strong instigation, Liu Hanxing finally failed to resist the pressure and did not let Qingyun City take the lead in the charge. Instead, he chose to fight against Wuliang all year round. The sword sect and its leader went to Haiya City to attack.

It can be said that this choice itself carries powerful malicious intent.

Now that the head-on conflict between the Haiya Sect and the Head Sect has officially begun, when Liu Hanxing discovers that the Haiya Sect is indeed difficult to deal with and wants to compromise privately with Haiya City, Jiang Hua'an will never agree to it.

Seeing that the negotiations had reached a deadlock, Liu Hanxing took a deep look at the expressionless Jiang Hua'an and said in a deep voice: "So, City Lord Jiang plans to fight the Wuliang Sword Sect to the end?"

Seeing that Liu Hanxing was about to jump over the wall, Jiang Huaan still had no intention of compromising. He still said in that gentle tone that could infuriate people: "President Liu's words are serious, how dare we openly confront Master Lin?"

"Then what do you plan to do with the Heyu Pavilion killer?"

"We, the Lord of Haiya City, deeply regret such incidents and strongly condemn this illegal violence. Any illegal killings and treasure grabbing operations that occur in Haiya City are undesirable!"

Speaking of this step, Jiang Huaan was still doing Tai Chi here, and Liu Hanxing knew that it was impossible for the Haiya Department to compromise today.

"If that's the case, then I will personally solve the problem!"

After saying the cruel words, Liu Hanxing walked away on the spot.

…

Hong Shiqi, the owner of Shunfeng Warehouse, was about to make a private deal with Zhu Ziming, but he was killed in the street by the beautiful killer of Tinghe Yuge. Liu Hanxing came to the door personally to investigate the crime, but in the end he returned without success.

With the help of thoughtful people, this breaking news immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of Haiya City.

Faced with such rumors, the Lord of Haiya City immediately stood up to refute the rumors, claiming that Hong Shiqi was murdered by Elder Hong's former enemies. Haiya Party deeply regretted this and promised to bury Hong Shiqi generously. As for Liu Xingchang's revolt, When it comes to asking for guilt, it is even more nonsense. Haiya City has always been the most loyal vassal sect of Wuliang Sword Sect, but the head of Lin Jianxing is the one who follows suit!

However, just like the results of Haiya City's many refutations of rumors before, this hypocritical refutation simply cannot withstand scrutiny.

I heard that the appearance fee for the Heyuge Golden Core Beauty Killer is at least millions of spiritual stone coins, and even more in special circumstances. Even if Hong Shiqi's whole family is sold, they still can't get so much spiritual stone coins. Stone cash.

Besides the covetous Haiya family, who else would pay such a high price to buy the life of a mere monk in the Qi refining stage?

Faced with the widespread rumors in Haiya City, the Lord's Palace of Haiya City had no intention of continuing to refute the rumors. It just held a grand funeral for the unfortunate shopkeeper Hong who died with great fanfare.

However, this vigorous funeral only let more people know the news of Hong Shiqi's death. As for the rumors refuted by the City Lord's Mansion and the high-profile funeral, they were all interpreted as the Haiya Clan's method of killing people and punishing people. They would not let anyone go even if they died. , Hong Shiqi’s body must also be carried around Haiya City for display to scare all speculators who are ready to take action.

Since then, Zhu Ziming has become like a god of plague. The various chambers of commerce that hold Haiya City real estate do not even dare to see him, let alone the price, for fear that one day blood will be spilled on them.

After Zhu Ziming's credit was completely ruined, although Liu Hanxing was very disappointed with his ability, he could only take action in person to "convince people with reason."

Since Hong Shiqi had died and there was no other heir with spiritual root qualifications in the entire Hong family, it was logical that Shunfeng Warehouse was inherited by Hong Shiqi's eldest son.

If it were normal times, Hong Shiqi's eldest son would have inherited hundreds of thousands of spirit stone coins from the family business at such a young age, and would have been so excited that he could not even sleep. However, now Shunfeng Warehouse has become a storm of conflict between the Haiya system and Liu Hanxing. Now, if he had a choice, he would rather give this warehouse to any stranger.

It's a pity that in Haiya City today, no one dares to take over his family's property, and no one dares to take it even if it is given away for free!

Hong Shiqi's eldest son had no choice but to hang up his no-war card and act like "this warehouse has been closed indefinitely" in an attempt to stay away from trouble.

He just didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble found him.

Not long after, he received a notice that Liu Hanxing, vice president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, wanted to see him in person.

If Zhu Ziming came to visit, Hong Shiqi's eldest son would definitely thank the visitor behind closed doors, and might even run to the Haiya Department for help. But Liu Hanxing had personally come to visit, and the Hong family had no choice but to refuse to receive him. The great monk of Danqi wants to see you as a mortal, do you still dare not to see you?

Don't you want to live anymore?

Liu Hanxing's purpose in finding him was also very simple, which was to buy the land under Shunfeng Warehouse's name and open a charity hall!

No counteroffer, two hundred thousand spirit stone coins!

This offer is even lower than the fair value of Shunfeng Warehouse.

However, Liu Hanxing personally took action, and the effect was completely different from Zhu Ziming's.

After a period of wrangling between the two parties, and Liu Hanxing's promise to personally escort the Hong family to the outlying island for refuge, the Hong family could only pinch their noses and agree to transfer the land to the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce at a low price. It is said that when the two parties signed the contract, the eldest son of the Hong family even " "I was so moved that I cried."

And just the day after the two parties signed the contract, Tingheyuge posted a very high-priority commission to take the lives of hundreds of members of the Hong family, with a reward of two million yuan in spiritual stones. Coins, even the watchdogs were not spared, which made all the chambers of commerce in Haiya City frightened.

Faced with the blatant intimidation of the Haiya Sect, Liu Hanxing of course took it very seriously. A few days later, in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, he arranged for the Hong family members to take a merchant ship to an outlying island for refuge, and personally arranged for the monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect to accompany them for escort.

No matter how bold the Haiya Sect was, they would not dare to kill the Wuliang Sword Sect monks. This merchant ship seeking political asylum finally successfully arrived at the Wanli Yanbo Formation off the outlying island.

The Wanli Yanbo Formation has the supreme power to seal the spiritual energy of the world. After a merchant ship sails into the Wanli Smoke Formation, neither the Wuliang Sword Sect nor the Haiya Sect can continue to monitor the status of the merchant ship.

Under normal circumstances, it would be considered completely safe for merchant ships to arrive here.

But just when the merchant ship sailed into the Wanli Yanbo Formation and was about to sail to Yanbo Port, an accident happened.

According to the statement given by Yanbo Island, the merchant ship on which the Hong family was traveling suddenly developed a serious water leak, and then quickly rolled over and sank outside Yanbo Port. Xu Tong, the lord of Yanbo Island, said that because the ship sank too fast, they could not even It was too late to send out rescue. Therefore, the final result of this shipwreck was that none of the passengers on the ship survived!

After the news spread back to Haiya City, public opinion was in an uproar.

The Hong family merchant ship's shipwreck almost had the word "suspicious" written on its face.

First of all, the Hong family merchant ship only had a total voyage of less than twenty miles from entering the Wanli Yanbo Formation to arriving at the dock of Yanbo Island. Even if something went wrong as soon as the ocean-going merchant ship entered the formation, it would not be too late for Yanbo Island to initiate rescue. .

Secondly, this merchant ship sank almost outside the Yanbo Island Pier. Even if Yanbo Island did not take any rescue measures, there would always be some lucky people washed up on the coast by the tide, and it would be impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.

Therefore, some people have already suspected that the ship was sunk by Haiya's allies on the outlying islands. It may even be that Xu Tong, the lord of Yanbo Island, personally killed the Hong family under the orders of Haiya.
