Destroying an Aristocratic Family Alone! (, tickets.)
Cui Chengzhi fell onto the couch, his eyes wide open as he muttered in disbelief.
"How could that be? How could that bunch of lowlifes dare to oppose Cui Clan?”
Cui Chengzhi stood up and roared.
"This old man will go personally. I don't believe that those lowlifes dare to go against this old man!”
Cui Chengzhi made up his mind and prepared a carriage to go to Chang 'an.
He didn't believe that the number one aristocratic family in the world, the Cui family of Boling, would be defeated by a group of commoners.
Previously, these people were just a bunch of useless garbage; however, they dared to oppose Cui Clan and even successfully stopped Cui Clan's action.
Could it be that with Li Xian, they, these lowlifes, could really overturn the heavens!
Impossible!
Cui Chengzhi led the convoy and over three hundred guards, sprinting all the way to the intersection of the Inner Pass Road.
As expected, he saw a group of commoners blocking the way.
They were all doing business, selling food, clothes, and necessities.
There were also some large carriages that were filled with goods. They moved along the inner roads of the pass, and it was very busy.
Cui Chengzhi was dumbfounded.
"When did the Inner Pass become so prosperous? There are actually so many people, so many merchants, and so many goods.”
Cui Chengzhi asked.
"Patriarch, it's all Li Xian's doing. While he was building the roads with cement, he was also attracting merchants to invest and build markets and villages along the way.”
"The current Inner Pass Road is no longer comparable to the past.”
Cui Chengzhi exploded when he heard that.
"This old man doesn't believe that this group of lowly peasants would dare to stop me!”
Cui Chengzhi ordered.
"Go over and make way for them."
With the family head's order, his subordinates also had the courage to lead their men and rush forward.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. The carriage of the head of Cui Clan is going to pass by. Hurry up!”
The servant of Cui Clan shouted as he thought that these lowlifes would give way to him after going up the stairs; however…
All the commoners and merchants stopped and stared at the servant.
"You, what do you want?"
The servant was so frightened that he took a few steps back. His stern and timid appearance made everyone laugh.
"What a disgrace!"
Cui Chengzhi said angrily. He then got off the car and walked up.
"Get out of my way!"
"I'm going to Chang 'an to meet His Majesty!”
Cui Chengzhi felt that once the emperor and the aristocratic families were mentioned, these commoners would be afraid and would make way for them. However, it was useless.
"If you want to see the emperor, go and see him! We're not stopping you!"
"The Cui family of Boling is powerful. It has nothing to do with us. We survived after eating the food given by Li Shaobao, not your Cui family.”
"That's right. Li Shaobao let us live. He said that he wanted to ban you, so we helped!”
"How shameless! Li Shaobao paid for the construction of the Inner Pass Road. Your Cui Family and Li Shaobao don't get along well, yet you still want to use his road.”
"Let's take the small path. As long as we don't go to the inner pass, we don't care!”
The commoners kept talking to Cui Chengzhi, making him lose his temper.
It didn't make sense to these unreasonable people.
Cui Chengzhi had no choice but to look at the merchants.
"Make way for me, or I will make Cui Family lose its power in the imperial court and make you unable to gain a foothold in Chang 'an.”
Cui Chengzhi threatened.
The number one aristocratic family in the world, the Cui family of Boling, had a terrifying influence in the imperial court. It was not someone that a lowly merchant could afford to provoke.
However, this group of merchants was not afraid at all.
"Afraid of you? I can earn a few hundred strings of money by moving goods back and forth along the inner road of the pass. No matter how powerful your Cui family is in Chang 'an, what can you do to me?”
"Master Cui, we are actually afraid of you too, but we have an agreement with Li Shaobao. If we don't transport our goods according to the stipulated time and route, Shunfeng Escort Agency will not provide protection. Moreover, we will be disqualified from using the pass's inner road for disobedience. I'm sorry!"
Cui Chengzhi couldn't hold his anger and looked at everything that was happening in front of him in disbelief.
In his eyes, they were just like ants. Now, they were putting him on the spot. The key was that he really couldn't do anything to them.
"Aren't you afraid that this old man will report to His Majesty and use the power of our Cui family to punish you treacherous merchants and unruly people?”
Cui Chengzhi roared.
He wanted to threaten everyone, but all he received was disdainful ridicule. Everyone treated him as a lunatic.
"If you have the ability, we'll talk when you reach Chang 'an!”
Cui Chengzhi…
Cui Chengzhi had no choice but to return to the Cui family.
Not far away, Li Xian and Li Shi Min were sitting together, watching the scene in front of them.
"Awesome!"
Li Shi Min was extremely excited.
"For so many years, I've been bullied by the aristocratic families. This is the first time I've seen them so aggrieved.”
"Cui Chengzhi's face is almost the color of pig liver, haha.”
Li Shi Min calmed down after laughing.
"But Li Xian, you're just venting your anger. You won't cause any substantial harm to the Cui family.”
Li Xian chuckled.
"Your Majesty, do you think I'm done?”
"To be honest, this is just the beginning.”
Li Xian explained.
"The Inner Pass is the central passage of Chang 'an. All trades have to go to Chang' an.”
"As long as I let these hundreds of thousands of people block the pass and prevent the people from the Boling Cui clan from passing through, the resources in their hands will rapidly depreciate.”
"When the time comes, in order to cut losses, we will naturally find someone to take over.”
" We can't get in touch with the Cui family in Chang 'an in time. Their information is lagging behind. Any false news can cause them heavy losses.”
"Tea leaves, salt, iron, these are the resources that the imperial court needs to purchase in large quantities every year. They are all in the hands of the aristocratic families, so we can take them back.”
" Let's not talk about anything else. The Cui family has three salt mines in the northwest and spices such as pepper that they bought from the Hu people. Every year, they complete the transaction information in Chang 'an and then take the diploma to collect the goods.”
"Now that we have cut off their contact with Chang 'an, they won't dare to trade casually. When they can't sell it and can't find a suitable buyer for the large amount of materials, their losses will be very serious.”
"If I come here for two or three years…"
Li Shi Min swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes wide open as he spoke in a wooden tone.
"If they come here for two or three years, there won't be Boling's Cui family anymore.”
Li Shi Min couldn't believe it. According to Li Xian's words, he could really destroy the Boling Cui Clan by himself!
