Chapter 164: Autumn Wind Sweeps Falling Leaves
Just a few days after Hu Yingming and "Cui Jinyun"'s relationship heated up rapidly, the situation in Nan'an was in a state of ups and downs.
First, the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce, where Hu Baiwan was president, were attacked by unknown forces, and more than 30 industries under its jurisdiction suffered losses, either the source of goods was destroyed, the partners suddenly repent, the store was smashed by unknown people, or the factory workers in various places went on strike, causing the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce to lose about 70,000 taels of silver in just a few days.
This kind of blow is like a storm, continuous and comprehensive, causing the unprepared Hu Baiwan and the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce to worry.
This change even caused the entire county town to be in a stormy situation. Many people also smelled something strange, mostly away from the industries under these chambers of commerce, which made the situation worse and the entire county town felt a sense of depression.
Such a big move can't be hidden from others, and someone soon found out that it was the Meng family's move.
To this end, the thirteen chambers of commerce joined forces to speak out, severely condemned the Meng family, and invited Cui Qin, the governor of Nan'an County, to make the decision. After all, according to common sense, the Meng family's behavior was to disrupt the economic environment of Nan'an and indirectly affect Cui Qin's political achievements. The Dayong Dynasty evaluated local officials every three years. At that time, this incident may be a huge stain. Cui Qin could not tolerate such a thing happening, and would definitely intervene.
However, what was surprising was that Cui Qin did invite Nan'an Bo Meng Jizu in the county capital. The two of them had a secret conversation, and then they disappeared. It seemed that they had agreed to the other party's crackdown, which made the ancestors of all families in the outside world discuss it.
The Thirteen Chambers of Commerce were also confused and kept sending people to Hu Baiwan's house to ask him to make an idea.
After all, Hu Baiwan is the president of the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce, their pillar of the sky and the stone of Mount Tai. If you don’t rely on this big boss, just relying on your own thin arms and legs, how could he be a match for the Meng family?
However, Hu Baiwan is now aware of his own suffering. The Meng family's crackdown on these chambers of commerce has actually confirmed his initial speculation. The whereabouts of the demon bat may have fallen into the hands of the Meng family. Now Meng Jizu and others are not targeting those merchants, but Hu Baiwan.
Sure enough, it took less than two days. The twelve chambers of commerce seemed to have contact with the Meng family and published joint letters to terminate their cooperative relationship with Hu Baiwan. His title of president of the thirteen chambers of commerce came to an abrupt end.
After the twelve chambers of commerce broke up with their relationship with Hu Baiwan, they split a lot of their businesses, and they were indeed seriously damaged.
After all, Hu Baiwan couldn't really be an honorary president, only doing good things and not taking benefits. Over the years, he has penetrated into these twelve chambers of commerce and has been involved in a lot of business.
But after drawing a clear line with Hu Baiwan, the Meng family could breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the previous situation, the Meng family seemed to be going to defeat them directly and to ashes. Now, it is a blessing to be able to withdraw safely by only losing some.
But they were relieved and directly roasted Hu Baiwan on the fire. Except for the people at the bottom of the county town who were only rushing for life and survival, most of them had been cleared. Meng Bancheng was dealing with Hu Baiwan, and it was extremely powerful. They were all waiting and watching, and no one would end up rashly.
The Meng family's move is also extremely clever. The Thirteen Chambers of Commerce are extremely large and have a lot of energy. Dismembering and destroying it in advance is equivalent to knocking away most of the halos on Hu Baiwan, and then dealing with Hu Baiwan will save a lot of energy.
If we put aside Hu Baiwan and Hell Road, and the possible involvement with the ninth prince, Prince Fu, he is now just the president of a chamber of commerce, no different from some small families. At most, he will be more money and no longer be the kind of person who can call the wind and rain, and feel that he can influence the whole place.
Moreover, the Meng family fought an economic war and abolished the chamber of commerce under Hu Baiwan only first-handedly and second-handedly, directly using its own force to wipe out the nearly 500 dead soldiers secretly raised by Hu Baiwan.
These five hundred dead soldiers were the killers Hu Baiwan used his own financial resources to raise. His martial arts skills were excellent and he was well-trained. I am afraid that the Sun family did not have such power.
From this we can see that Hu Baiwan is indeed very ambitious.
Unfortunately, under the strong relationship network and information collection of the Meng family, we directly used traces of material mobilization to find our location.
These more than 500 people were like bright lights in the night sky, with nowhere to hide.
In the end, Wang Tianlei and the Meng family warriors were forcibly killed.
In this battle, the battlefield was chosen in a deserted village more than 30 miles away from Nan'an County. It was like a small military camp. Hu Baiwan regarded it as a place for training, with various materials and facilities. There were also three giant scalpers from somewhere. The effective range was nearly 1,000 meters and the explosive power was enough to destroy the body protection of the innate masters. It was a powerful weapon on the battlefield and was also strictly controlled military supplies.
The Meng family also had three acquired great perfections, and seventeen acquired great successes died on this giant yellow cow bed crossbow. Wang Tianlei reacted quickly and led the way in front, so he was afraid that the casualties would be even greater.
However, this battle can completely wipe out the loyal forces under Hu Baiwan. In addition to those in the mansion, they can only be sent by the Hell.
This Chamber of Commerce killed the dead soldiers and used two moves to directly destroy the once famous and famous businessman and wealthy businessman who was once famous and called the wind and rain into the bottomless abyss.
For many days, Hu Baiwan has almost never closed his eyes. His skin was delicate and energetic and elastic, his hair was thick and dark like ink, and he was full of energy.
After working hard and worrying for the past few days, I seemed to have been aged for decades, my skin was loose, wrinkles were everywhere, and my hair was three quarters whiter, looking particularly desolate.
However, Hu Baiwan still did not admit defeat. In addition to preparing for the final escape, he was still accumulating his strength and waiting for his request to be responded to.
The Meng family cannot be moved down and cannot be beaten. This is inevitable. Just as he dealt with him this time, the Meng family directly crushed them like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and had no ability to fight back at all.
I am afraid that people from all families in the city will be scared to death now, including the Sun family, who thought they were equal to the Meng family.
However, as long as Prince Fu can speak out for him, it will greatly relieve his pressure. If the people in the Hell Road give him certain support, they may be able to survive without squandering the hard work of many years.
Unfortunately, although he was meticulous and careful and sent multiple channels to deliver the letters, he was still intercepted by the Meng family and has not sent a single letter to this day.
So he stayed in the city and was destined to sit and wait for death.
Unfortunately, Hu Baiwan didn't know the news.
Otherwise, perhaps we had already decisively left everything in the city, left Nan'an and even Jizhou, and went somewhere else to make a comeback.
