Mythical Lords of the Three Kingdoms: Invincible from the Bandit

Chapter 108 Official trouble!The crisis of the Yun family!

Pingyun County, Yun Family.

A large group of people gathered in the meeting hall, their faces were gloomy and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

"Patriarch, the Ping family has made frequent moves recently, constantly suppressing the Yun family's property!"

"In the county seat alone, more than a dozen shops have been inspected by the government. Half of the shops have been closed, and half of them have been closed for rectification. The industries in other towns have been suppressed even worse!"

"The five caravans that transported supplies from Guangyang County were all attacked by bandits fifteen miles outside the city, and none were left alive. However, according to our investigation, some standard weapons and dead people were left on the scene. Judging from the wounds, it was obviously done by the army of Pingyun County!"

"In addition, Zhao's Martial Arts School, which was invited with a lot of money, has already negotiated cooperation. Under the pressure of the government, it clearly refuses to cooperate with the Yun family!"

"The Ping family has been taking more and more actions against the Yun family recently. I'm afraid they want to suppress or even annex my Yun family!"

In the hall, a middle-aged steward said.

"This Hera family is simply a wolf's ambition!"

A clan elder slapped the table angrily.

"In the past, the Heike family's targeting was only carried out in secret, at most it was a small fight, but now it is on the bright side, without any scruples!"

"Now it's just suppressing our peripheral industries and testing our bottom line step by step. This doesn't hide my ambition!"

The head of the Yun family, Yun Fan, said with a serious expression, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Although the Yun family is known as the two major families in Pingyun County, they are on an equal footing with the Ping family.

However, they knew very well that if there was a real fight, the Yun family would really be no match for the Ping family.

After all, the Ping family controls both military and political power, which is the real real power, and it is the power bestowed by the Han court, and it also represents the majesty of the court!
No matter how powerful the Yun family is, it is nothing more than a family of businessmen, as the saying goes, people don't fight with officials!

Under the system of Hanshi, agriculture, industry and commerce, how could a mere wealthy businessman be an opponent of the government!
If the Ping family hadn't considered the impact of annexing the Yun family, they would have done it long ago!

Half of the Yun family's power comes from its own industry and business channels, as well as many people who work for the Yun family.

The other half is the contacts of the Yun family. Every year, the Yun family will give out a lot of gold and silver to officials at all levels at the state and county levels, as well as to establish good relations with major families. Even the Ping family receives a lot of money every year. An offering from the Yun family.

But the Ping family was not satisfied with this, and had already started coveting the entire Yun family's property!

Since last year, the contradiction between the two has become deeper and deeper.

It was just a small trick before, but now it has begun to suppress it on the bright side. The government is trying to break through the bottom line of the Yun family time and time again!
If there is no counterattack, the opponent will not only restrain himself, but will make an inch of it.

If it goes on like this, I am afraid that the Yun family will not escape the result of being annexed by the Ping family.

"We can't sit still!"

"Before they asked us to offer a reward of [-], it was just a temptation, and they shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place!"

"Now we are making progress even more, constantly breaking through our bottom line, we absolutely can't bear it any longer!"

"Should we report this matter to Lord Gongsun, and ask them to stop what the Ping family is doing?"

someone suggested.

"It's useless. Since the Heike family dares to do something on the bright side, it is obvious that someone is behind the scenes!"

Yun Fan thought for a while, then shook his head. "This time, we can only rely on ourselves, the governor of Gongsun and other officials, and cannot provide us with any help!"

He remembered that he had received a letter from Gongsun Fu last night, which stated two points.

One point is that the struggle for official rights has broken the balance and deteriorated rapidly, which may affect the entire Youzhou officialdom, and he himself cannot protect himself. The second point is to ask the Yun family to provide a large amount of financial support!

There are various factions in Youzhou, including Han officials, famous families, aristocratic families, rich merchants and gentry!
In order to fight for power and profit, they will do everything they can, but usually everyone is just playing tricks and plotting, and they won't do it with real knives and guns.

The Heike Yun family belonged to different factions.

Before the two factions maintained a delicate balance.

But now, the balance has been broken.

This is not only a power struggle between the Ping family and the Yun family, but also a rivalry between the higher-level officials, which eventually affects them!
There is someone above the Yun family, Gongsun Fu, the governor of Shangguqun who has been protecting the Yun family, but the Ping family also has them.

Now Gongsun Fu is under siege from hostile factions, and has no time to take care of the Yun family!

This is the reason why the Heike family dared to act blatantly. There may be orders from the superiors behind it!

money!

In the prosperous age, it will be the biggest protective umbrella of the Yun family.

But once in troubled times, having a wealth of wealth will only lead to death faster!
The official battle had just begun, and the Yun family was being targeted!
Gongsun Fu asked the Yun family to provide a lot of financial support to help them win the next battle.

And the Ping family and the forces behind it are coveting the property of the Yun family!
"We give them so much money every year, don't they just sit back and watch with peace of mind?"

The boss of the clan scolded.

"They can't protect themselves, how can they take care of the Yun family?"

Yun Fan sighed lightly.

Behind the Pingyun dispute, there is actually a bigger official turmoil!

The open and secret fights in the officialdom of the big man, once lost, the end will be very miserable!
It was too late for them to protect themselves, how could they manage the Yun family, and even when necessary, the Yun family was a bargaining chip that could be sacrificed!

Therefore, the Yun family's contacts are useless at this moment.

Because the crisis facing the Yun family was not caused by itself, but was affected by the struggle for power among officials in Youzhou!
As for fighting strength?
It is impossible to be the opponent of the Heike family, after all, the opponent controls a large army.

Moreover, on weekdays, the government even restricted the growth of the Yun family's strength.

This time the cooperation with Zhao's Martial Arts failed, and it was the Heika who made the move.

Before that, the Heike family had stopped him countless times.

Once any strong person or martial arts and other forces want to join the Yun family, they will be strongly blocked by the government!
Even the size of the Yun family's caravan guards has been strictly restricted by the government!
With the pressure from the Ping family and the government, it is very difficult for the Yun family to recruit experts!
Otherwise, such a large Yun family would not allow Yun Chong, who has only over 60 points of strength, to be the captain!
Of course, it's not that the Yun family didn't sit still. If they couldn't develop their power on the surface, they would cultivate their power secretly.

The Yun family set their target on the bandits.

The relationship between the Yun family and the thieves can be said to be very complicated, because of the caravan, they often deal with thieves.

Of course, they are not just a simple hostile relationship.

Sometimes it is because of the worship relationship, the Yun family will pay a protection fee to some big cottages every year!

Sometimes it is a cooperative relationship, and the two parties will carry out some deeper cooperation.

Sometimes it is a control relationship. Through some means, the Yun family has controlled some counterfeit forces and cultivated them!
The former Black Demon Village was able to develop rapidly only with the support of the Yun family, but it was later wiped out by the government.

Because of this, the Yun family's caravans were rarely robbed by bandits, which ensured that the Yun family could earn a lot of wealth every year!

"The previous backing is useless!"

"Then we have to find other ways to break the situation!"

"Break the blockade of the Hera family on my Yun family!"

"It would be great if Mr. Ouyang Jing was here, he must have a good idea!"

After hearing Yun Fan's explanation, everyone knew very well the situation the Yun family was facing.

None of the backers in the past could be trusted, and they even coveted the property of the Yun family just like the Ping family!

With these connections, the Yun family would only die faster.

"With our Yun family's strength alone, we simply cannot survive this storm!"

"Only by breaking the current pattern can we gain a chance!"

A ruthless look flashed in Yun Fan's eyes, "Since we are stuck in a quagmire and cannot extricate ourselves, let's make the water even more muddy!"
