Chapter 650: The Qiao Family in Shanxi

While Fang Zi was in a turmoil with his troops from all sides, and while the crowds of all sides were still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, a shocking event happened in the Qingke Empire. Qiao Zhiyong, the head of the Qiao family in Shanxi, who is famous for being rich in the world, was convicted and imprisoned!

This news shocked the world for a moment! In "Life", there are some legendary families of all sizes, such as the Tangyin Yue family, who has settled in Luliu Town, which is a military family, such as the Kong family of Qufu, the Yang family of Tianbo, the Tang family of Shuzhong, etc. The strength and influence of these families are sometimes even surpassing that of some small countries! Even the monarch of an empire, he is unwilling to easily turn against these families in any situation!

The Qiao family in Shanxi is such a legendary family. The Qiao family in Shanxi is a famous business family for generations. The current head of the family Qiao Zhiyong and the "Shangzu" Tao Zhugong, the King of Zhuo of the Western Han Dynasty, the Jiangnan giant Chen Wansan, the red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan, and the 13th Guangdong businessman Wu Bingjian and others are both "Legends of the Business Sea" and enjoy a reputation in the business world!

After all, "Life" is different from real history. The status of merchants here is much higher than in history, and their influence on the current situation is much greater! It is no exaggeration to say that the Qiao family in Shanxi has basically controlled more than one-third of the economic lifeline of the Qingke Empire. The Qiao family's Zudian Fusheng Guild in Baotou has completely controlled the foreign trade of the Qingke Empire! So after the news came out, the players were confused about the "meeting" against the Qing emperor and the "dare" against the Qiao family, and for a moment they rumored. In the midst of all, countless players posted on the forum to discuss why the Qing emperor suddenly attacked the Qiao family. In history, Qiao Zhiyong actually maintained a good relationship with the Qing court and was repeatedly commended by the court. The Qiao family in Shanxi was even more prominent for six generations and became a legend! (In 1877 AD, Qiao Zhiyong was entrusted for disaster-trafficking and was given the Qing court's "referring to the brothers of Tie to five levels" and was awarded the flower feather. Zi Jingyi and Sun Yingxia both followed their ancestral business and allowed business and finance to develop again!)

Just as there were many different opinions on the forum about the truth of this matter and there was a lot of speculation, Wang Dafu had already figured out the whole story of this matter!

In fact, Wang Dafu has always been unsatisfied with the commercial development of Luliu Town. Although the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce of Shangzu Tao Zhugong has officially entered Luliu Town and has confirmed that it will officially start commercial activities soon! However, Wang Dafu still has some ideas about this. After all, letting a certain person or organization monopolize the business of the entire territory is definitely not a good phenomenon!

So just when the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce of Shangzu Tao Zhugong had just entered Luliu Town, Wang Dafu had already sent a group of spies under his command to go to the Qingke Empire to investigate the situation there. Of course, Wang Dafu did not know what was going on in Shanxi Qiao Family in advance. He sent people to get some detailed information from the Qiao Family so that he could have the opportunity to have a condom relationship with the Qiao Family in the future!

Maybe it was really God's favor, or it was because Wang Dafu has been training recently and looks handsome. Anyway, he sent intelligence personnel to the right time, and he just witnessed Qiao Zhiyong's imprisonment. Sister Gao is worthy of being the head of the famous killer group. The intelligence personnel she trained were of great quality. As soon as she encountered this, she immediately realized that this was a very important opportunity. So the group began to inquire about the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and quickly obtained some unknown inside information, and then quickly passed the information back to Green Willow Town!

It was because of this little luck that Wang Dafu was able to have the most detailed materials and responded quickly when others were still guessing whether the news had any inside information!

The information sent back by these intelligence personnel surprised Wang Dafu! This time Qiao Zhiyong was imprisoned and was framed by a group of players!

Since Qin Hui was assassinated, players have been discussing that "Life" has gradually entered "NPC, player interaction mode" from "NPC, player interaction mode". However, because the general strength of lord players is still relatively weak and cannot compete with NPC at all, although players generally admit that this theory is the development direction of "Life", most people believe that it is far from that level now!

Wang Dafu also believes that before the player territory generally developed into a high-level town, the influence of lord players was far from comparable to that of NPC! However, this group of designs framed the players of Qiao Zhiyong, the head of the Qiao family in Shanxi, taught everyone a lesson with their own behavior!

Among these players are both adventure players and lord players. One of their common characteristics is that their birthplace is closely connected with the Qiao family in Shanxi!

Due to the changes in the business environment, the Qiao family's business ideas have changed a little. Although the ancestral shop is still located in Baotou, they have also begun to invest a lot in their hometowns - the most profitable investment method is monopoly. Since the Qiao family can completely control the foreign trade of the Qingke Empire, they naturally have monopoly expansion in their hometown's business field! This seriously threatens those adventure players for business purposes! After a certain stage, these adventure players for business purposes have even had problems even in survival!

The Qiao family in Shanxi is rich enough to rival the country. When they started to fully monopolize the expansion with a lot of money, how much power can ordinary players have to resist at this stage? Qiao Zhiyong did not have any special thoughts because of the profit-seeking nature of merchants, but the players who were overwhelmed by him did not think so!

On the other hand, since Qiao Zhiyong has been expanding his strength near his hometown, he naturally began to enter some local player territories. These lord players were naturally very happy when they first obtained investment from the Qiao family, but they felt uncomfortable after a long time. Just like Wang Dafu, no lord player would like the economic lifeline of his territory to be completely controlled by a certain person or a certain family!

Under such circumstances, these players who lived completely under the shadow of the Qiao family in Shanxi gradually united and reached a consensus that if they did not eliminate the aggressive Qiao family, they would never have a chance to stand out!

However, if you want to compete head-on with a big family like the Qiao family in Shanxi, it is definitely not something that ordinary players can do now. In fact, even players who have developed very smoothly like Zhang Yingzhe, Chu Feixiang, and Wang Dafu, no one can compete with a legendary family like the Qiao family in Shanxi alone!

So, a large net woven with conspiracy and tricks quietly enveloped the Qiao family in Shanxi. The players who weaved this big net showed amazing talents. If these players were alone, it would be impossible to move the Qiao family. After all, the Qiao family in Shanxi is stable and it is definitely not something that can be destroyed. However, this player or this group of players contacted an extremely "strong" partner...
