Time flies, and it has already reached mid-September before we know it.

On the turbulent Yu River, Chen Mo and his men stood on the ferry crossing the river, looking at the surging river water on the river, breathing a long sigh.

"After crossing Yujiang, it's Longxi. The Qiao family is a long-sized clan, so it should be easy to find."

It was already a little cool in late September. The water on the river was even bigger, and it felt cool when you blew on your body.

Li Wanqiu stood on Chen Mo's left, held his arm, and said seriously: "I heard from my master that Longxi was controlled by the three major families of Qiao, Ye and Cai. Among them, the Qiao family has the deepest heritage and the most prestige in Longxi. From Emperor Huaiyuan to Emperor Xiangxing, it spans the Seven Emperors for more than 500 years.

In the past five hundred years, rebellions, natural disasters and man-made disasters have not affected the Qiao family. There have been three queens, two noble concubines, and more than ten princesses, and they have married all major families. In Longxi, the face of the Qiao family is more effective than that of the government. You can offend the government, but you cannot offend the Qiao family."

"Not only the government, but even those who rob the rich and help the poor in the world of the world of the world of the world of the world of the world of the world of the world who dared not touch the hair of the Qiao family. When traveling to Longxi, I heard this saying that Longxi is the dividing line between the world of the world. No matter who you are, whether it is a bad person or a bad person, you have to be at peace when you enter Longxi." Dongkui took the speech, spit out the longan core from his mouth, and then said:

"At that time, I thought there were some powerful masters in the Qiao family, but later I knew a lot and found out that it was not the case that the Qiao family had never had a strong master, but it monopolized the rise of the people in Longxi. Seventy percent of the young clans of each generation of the Qiao family went to Beijing to become officials, 20 percent became local officials, and 10 percent entered the world and attracted people in the world.

At the peak of the Qiao family, if the emperor and the Qiao family were not in harmony, the Qiao family would deliberately stumbling, which would even lead to no officials available in the court. However, for this reason, since Emperor Yuande two hundred years ago, he suppressed the aristocratic family.

Originally, the wife of Zhenxihou should be a legitimate daughter of the Qiao family. Under the interference of the late emperor, this legitimate daughter married into the Xiao family in Jiangnan. Otherwise, Zhenxihou would not be constrained by money and food with the help of the Qiao family."

Li Wanqiu didn't expect that there was still such a hidden secret, and he was secretly shocked after hearing this.

The Qiao family has no soldiers, and they have such a great influence. If there are soldiers, wouldn’t it be another Marquis of Zhenxi?

Chen Mo was fine after hearing this.

After all, Chu State is a martial arts world.

As long as the individual has strong force, there is no need to worry too much about the aristocratic family.

In the ancient times of his previous life, the families there were strong.

There is a saying to describe a family.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

Later, some people even said that the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by aristocratic families.

Because Emperor Yang of Sui touched the interests of aristocratic families.

At its peak, these aristocratic families could even stand with the imperial power, or even surpass the imperial power. Even the emperor needed to rely on these aristocratic families to better maintain their rule.

While a few people were chatting, the ferry crossed the Yujiang River and approached the shore.

Chen Mo and the others dressed in an ordinary manner, so they didn't attract much attention and easily entered Longxi.

...

The Qiao family’s ancestral land is in Fengjing Town, Longxi.

Chen Mo asked a little inquiry and knew where he was in Fengjingjing.

After entering Fengjing Town, several people had a clearer understanding of the Qiao family.

For example, salt cannot be sold privately, but can only be sold by official.

Although the Qiao family was not an official, they were named "Imperial Shang" by the emperor and allowed to sell salt.

On the way to Qiao's house.

Chen Mo and his friends saw that the crowd was surrounded in front of them, as if they were watching the fun.

Watching the fun is human nature.

Chen Mo and the others also came over.

In the crowd, Qiao Zhi folded twenty copper coins into a stack on the table, and said to Huang Xu, the man selling knives in front of him, "If you can stomp the copper coins with one knife, I will give you three hundred taels of silver."

Just when I said this, the people watching the audience were in an uproar. Three hundred taels of silver were enough for ordinary people to spend their whole life.

No one doubts that Qiao Zhi can't take it out, but he doubts whether Qiao Zhi will keep his promise.

Because Qiao Zhi is a child of the Qiao family and is also a direct lineage.

As young men from aristocratic families, most of them are well-educated and kind to others. Because they receive a good education, even if they hate someone, they will not show it in person or say it out loud.

But there are always exceptions. Qiao Zhi is such a playboy. Although he did not do anything to poison people's lives under the constraints of the Qiao family rules, he has done a lot of things that force the robbery of the people and make things difficult for others.

Of course, Huang Xu knew who Qiao Zhi was. His face showed a hint of embarrassment. His mother was ill in bed and needed decoctions to treat her. However, he had no money on her and could only sell the treasure knife passed down from the clan in exchange for some money to buy medicine. However, Qiao Zhi was entangled.

He knew that Qiao Zhi didn't want to buy a knife, he just wanted to have fun with him.

If you really cut this stack of copper coins, you will definitely be troubled by Qiao Zhi in other ways.

After thinking for a while, he knelt down in front of Qiao Zhi and said, "Mr. Qiao, don't make things difficult for the villain. The villain needs to sell this ancestral treasure knife to treat my mother. Mr. Qiao has a lot of it, let the villain go..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Qiao Zhi kicked Huang Xu and spat: "That, who is making things difficult for you? Don't slander me. If you want to sell this treasure knife, can't I buy it?"

"Ahem..." Huang Xu got up: "It's ok, but Mr. Qiao..."

"What do you think I am? Since I can buy it, isn't it natural to try a knife before buying it?" Qiao Zhi interrupted Huang Xu again and said, "It's you who said that this knife cuts copper and stomps iron, and the blade does not roll up, and the iron is cut like mud."

The followers beside him also started shouting with Qiao Zhi.

After being forced to do so, Huang Xu could only agree to the test: "I hope Mr. Qiao keeps his word."

Huang Xu rolled up his sleeves, aimed at the stack of copper coins, and slashed them with a knife.

The moment the sound was heard, the twenty copper coins were cut in half from the middle.

"good."

"What a treasure knife that cuts iron like mud."

Everyone next to him cheered, and some even yelled to ask Qiao Zhi to fulfill his promise.

Qiao Zhi's face was slightly dark, and he shouted to everyone: "What are you trying to coax? Is your bones itchy?"

The sound of cheering suddenly became quiet.

Qiao Zhi looked at Huang Xu and said, "I'll give you the silver later. I'll try the second benefit of this knife you mentioned, you can beat you up."

When Huang Xu heard Qiao Zhi's words, he felt a little sad. He was indeed going to make things difficult for him, but at this point, he could only continue with his teeth.

Huang Xu pulled off a piece of hair and blew it gently towards the knife. Suddenly, his hair split into two.

Qiao Zhi didn't believe it, so he pulled off a piece of hair and tried it.

The hair is also divided into two.

Seeing this scene, everyone cheered again, and more and more people were watching the fun.
