    Liu laughed and said nothing.

    Xun You also handed over detailed information about the Zhen family in Hebei to Liu Ke. After reading it once, Liu Ke knew what was going on.

    Are the Hebei Zhen family really nobody?

    ¡°That¡¯s not the case, otherwise Xun You wouldn¡¯t have made any record.

    ¡°If war is raging, whether it is fighting or governing, there is one obstacle that cannot be avoided, and that is money.

    If princes want to get ahead, they must ask whether their wallets are full.

    Without money, nothing can be done.

    When Liu Ke first started, he had no territory. Through the assets of the Liu family, he became the magistrate of Dongyang County.

    ¡°But, just becoming a county magistrate is not enough!

    There must be troops.

    However, the Liu family's fortune was not enough for Liu to squander. At the critical moment, Mi Zhu appeared.  The Mi family, originally one of the four major families in Xuzhou, had so many assets that no one knew.

    There were no less than ten thousand servants and tenants alone.

    Without the support of the Mi family, Liu Ke would have had a lot of trouble getting started.

    Liu Ke has the support of the Mi family, but what about Cao Cao?

    Cao Cao was originally very rich, but later he ran out of money and began to develop "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Mojin Xiaowei" because the Chang'an and Luoyang areas he occupied had a large number of cemeteries of princes and nobles.

    So, Cao Cao started robbing tombs.

    Many descendants of the Cao family died in infancy, and it is rumored that this was the reason.

    The eldest and second brothers are like this, so what does Yuan Shao rely on?

    It¡¯s the Zhen family in Hebei!

    The Zhen family's wealth is unimaginable to ordinary people. There is a saying in Jizhou that half of Yuan Shao's territory was bought by the Zhen family.

    After Yuan Shao became rich, he took great care of the Zhen family, so the Zhen family had a very high status in Hebei.

    " Moreover, Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, is still engaged to the Zhen family's youngest daughter.

    At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, before the rise of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, there were five business families that were extremely wealthy.

    They are the Zhen family in Hebei, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Lu family in Jiangdong, the Majia in Jingzhou, and the Qin family in Xichuan. Among them, the Zhen family in Hebei and the Mi family in Xuzhou are the most famous.

    As for the Jiangdong Lu family, it is Lu Su¡¯s family.

    "It's just that Lu Su is too righteous. In order to save the people, he spends money faster than making money.

    Therefore, the Hebei Zhen family is definitely not a small family.

    "To be honest, I don't know why the Zhen family would choose to be enemies of Yangzhou at this time." Liu Kedao.

    Zhen Yao quibbled: "Marquis Dongyang is joking, our Zhen family is just a merchant family, how can we be your enemy?"

    "Then you ask, of all the people present now, who will still do business with your Zhen family?" Liu Kedao.

    "My Mi family and the Zhen family will cut off all business contacts!" Mi Zhu said firmly.

    "My Gu family is the same!"

    "And the Qiao family!"

    ¡­¡­

    Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

    If an ordinary businessman encounters this situation, he will go crazy because the loss is too great.

    Yangzhou¡¯s prosperity is well known to everyone.  Everyone knows the activity of Yangzhou merchants.

    "However, Zhen Yao was not afraid at all, but was secretly happy.

    "Marquis Dongyang, we are all engaged in serious business. If you say this, aren't you blocking everyone's way of making money?"

    Zhen Yao glanced around, but no one agreed with what he said!

    Dongyang Hou¡¯s control over the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce is so terrifying!

    "Marquis Dongyang, I don't accept it, and the Zhen family will not give in! Why do you use your power to interfere with us?" Zhen Yao said loudly, just to portray Liu Ke's arrogant and domineering image.

    However, Liu Ke became more calm and said: "You already talked so shamelessly at my father's birthday party, and I still want to greet you with a smile?"

    In this era, filial piety is the most important thing!

    No matter how angry Liu Ke gets, it¡¯s never an exaggeration.

    "If I'm not wrong, it was Yuan Shao who instigated you to do this, right? Maybe he gave you some promise. Let me guess. Could it be to expel the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce? So, the Zhen family broke the pot,  Anyway, we won¡¯t have any more contact with each other in the future.¡±

    "Marquis Dongyang, you are talking nonsense!" Zhen Yao jumped up and said, obviously confused.

    Expelling the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce?

    Everyone present suddenly realized that no wonder the Zhen family would take such a big risk to offend Liu Ke.

    The Zhen family is in Hebei,It has been suppressed by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce to the point where it cannot hold its head up.

    At this time, we must rely on the official power of Yuan Shao.

    However, Yuan Shao made a request, which was to make Liu Ke lose face.

    Liu may have made such an inference, which is not unreasonable, because when the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce cut off contact with the Zhen family, Zhen Yao was not afraid at all.

    "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, it doesn't matter. Now if you disrupt the order of the birthday banquet, you will be sent to prison." Liu Kedao made an undisguised threat.

    Liu Ke has already given instructions to the guests present, so he can put it down and take others.

    "Someone, take it down!"

    Dian Wei, who was responsible for maintaining order, had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and directly led people to tie up Zhen Yao.

    "Marquis Dongyang, you are so arrogant, I greet you woo hoo!"

    Before Zhen Yao could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked.

    Zhen Yao looked desperate. He entered the prison in Yangzhou. Can he still come out?

    Although Dongyang Hou will not kill him now, he can wait until others forget about him and then kill him.

    This is the gap caused by strength.

    So, Zhen Yao struggled desperately.

    If there weren¡¯t so many people present, Dian Wei would have slapped him in the face.

    "Take it down!" Dian Wei shouted.

    Suddenly, a girl stood up and said, "Wait a minute!"

    Then, she came to Liu Ke, knelt down and said: "Please, Lord Dongyang Marquis, please let my brother go. He has eyes but cannot recognize Mount Tai."

    Why did Zhen Yao bring a younger sister here?

    Liu Ke was extremely surprised and saw Princess Wannian standing aside, extremely anxious.

    "Marquis Dongyang, this is Zhen Mi, we just met." Liu Xuan explained, "She is just a sister who cares about her brother. Please don't blame her."

    Liu Ke took a closer look and saw that the girl Zhen Mi had a graceful figure. She looked like a beauty at first sight.

    Seeing that Liu Ke was in trouble, Princess Wannian quickly pulled him aside and whispered.

    "Sister Zhen Mi has always admired you, so I brought her over to have a look. Unexpectedly, she saw this scene." Princess Wannian explained.

    Wouldn¡¯t that hurt the little girl¡¯s heart?

    However, Liu Ke has already made a decision, how could he slap himself in the face.

    "Please also ask Dongyang Marquis to forgive my brother's ignorance!" Zhen Mi begged again, looking pitiful.

    "Marquis Dongyang, just promise her." Princess Wannian said from the side to help.

    What else can Liu Ke do?

    "What are you doing standing there, why don't you take people down!" Liu Ke said to Dian Wei.

    Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, he thought Liu Ke would be soft-hearted.

    "What are you doing standing around? Take him down!" Dian Wei scolded.

    So, Zhen Yao was taken away and imprisoned.

    Zhen Mi¡¯s complexion turned from rosy to pale. Princess Wannian comforted her and then took her away.

    The farce ends here.

    Princess Wannian was complaining about Liu Ke, hoping to ease her friend's mood, but it had no effect.

    Zhen Mi also fell into deep thought, why is the object of her admiration so ruthless?

    Later, Butler Liu came over and said: "The young master has ordered that Zhen Yao can be taken away after paying a ransom of two hundred thousand gold." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
