Chapter 18 The Importance of Power

Wang Qingyun smiled slightly and said, "I want to buy Keyun Building from Mr. Lin."

Want to buy Keyun Building?
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, and said, "You want to buy Keyunlou because he is interested in his business. Since the business is good, why should I sell it?"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Wang Qingyun was not angry, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Lin won't sell it, can you sell the oil making method to me?"

Sure enough, when Wang Qingyun said he wanted to buy Keyun Building, Lin Xuan probably came here for oil.

In order to keep it secret, the people who squeezed the oil used it, selling themselves as domestic slaves of the Lin family.

Wang Qingyun must have tried to bribe the cook of Keyun Tower, and came to Lin Xuan only after he found that it was impossible without oil.

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, and said decisively: "I'm sorry, the oil matter is related to the business of the restaurant, and I can't sell it."

Wang Qingyun still smiled, and said with a little deep meaning: "I come from the Wang family in Taiyuan."

Taiyuan royal family?

Of course Lin Xuan knew that the Taiyuan Wang family and several other families with five surnames and seven Wang families were the largest families in the Tang Dynasty.

Five surnames and seven wang, also known as five surnames and seven clans.Among all the noble families, five are the most noble.That is, the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan.Among them, the Li family and the Cui family each have two counties.So it is called five surnames and seven wangs, or five surnames and seven clans.

Five surnames and Qiwang have great prestige among the gentry, and people all over the world are proud to marry five surname women. In history, Li Shimin once proposed to marry five surname women for himself, but was rejected by the five surname unions, and said that five surname women would not marry. Royal words.

Even so, Li Shimin had nothing to do with them. Although he used various methods to attack the five surnames later, when Li Shimin died, none of the five surnames and Qiwang were missing, which shows how powerful they are.

Lin Xuan took a deep look at Wang Qingyun and said, "Is Mr. Wang threatening me?"

"You can understand that!" Wang Qingyun said with a smile.

Lin Xuan said angrily: "At worst, I closed the restaurant, and there is no way to make oil."

He knew that the method of soybean oil could not be hidden for long. After all, there was a method of squeezing oil at this time, but they didn't know that it was squeezed out of soybeans.

If Wang Qingyun told Lin Xuan well, he might really sell it, but now that he is threatened, he would rather die than sell it.

The life of an orphan in the previous life led to his stubborn temper.

Lin Xuan was angry, Wang Qingyun didn't seem to see it, smiled and said: "Mr. Lin can close the restaurant, can he close all the business at home, can he also close the Lin Mansion?"

Lin Xuan sullenly asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Qingyun smiled lightly, "It's nothing interesting, since Mr. Lin won't sell it, I'll leave now."

After speaking, Wang Qingyun got up and left without delay, and the followers standing behind him hurriedly followed.

Lin Xuan looked at the back of Wang Qingyun leaving, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

This is the first time Chunyue saw her young master so angry, she said worriedly, "Master..."

Lin Xuan came back to his senses, waved his hands, and said, "It's okay, I'll go back to my room and be quiet, don't disturb me."

He now needs to think about how to deal with it. He knows that Wang Qingyun will not let it go, and there must be some other way.

……

Wang Qingyun looked back at the Lin family, smiled slightly, then turned and got into the carriage.

"Wang Zhong, you will go to the Xishi Municipal Office and ask someone to seal off the Keyun Building." Wang Qingyun instructed Wang Zhong, his entourage.

"Yes!" Wang Zhong nodded in response.

Wang Qingyun muttered to himself: "This is just an appetizer, I hope you can persevere."

……

Boom boom boom!
Lin Xuan heard the knock on the door and said dissatisfied: "Didn't I say don't disturb me?"

Chunyue said quickly: "Young master, the master sent someone to look for you, saying that there is something urgent."

"Understood, I'll be there right away." Lin Xuan responded, arranged his clothes, and walked to Lin Dongyang's yard.

It didn't take long for Lin Xuan to come to the yard where his parents lived. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Min was there, and his father Lin Dongyang and Zhao Min both looked worried, and asked curiously: "What happened?" whats the matter?"

Seeing Lin Xuan coming, Lin Dongyang said with a sullen face, "You came just in time. Our restaurant has been closed by the West City Administration. Do you know what's going on?"

"What? The restaurant is closed?" Lin Xuan said in shock.

Don't ask, it must be Wang Qingyun who did it, but I didn't expect him to move so fast, and it took less than an hour to leave.

Lin Xuan looked at Zhao Min and asked, "Did they say why they closed the restaurant?"

Zhao Min said with a bitter face: "No, I asked them, but they didn't say anything, just said it was an order from above."

Lin Xuan only now feels the cruelty of the ancient times. Those officials in the later generations would have to find a reason to seal up the shop or something. The ancient times didn't need it at all.

Why?It was because Wang Qingyun knew that the Lin family had no power and power, and they were just merchants.

Thinking of what Wang Qingyun said before, Lin Xuan's heart calmed down, and he knew that this was just the beginning.

For the first time, Lin Xuan realized the importance of power. If his family was a marquis or a duke's family, Wang Qingyun would definitely have some scruples about what he wanted to do.

Wang Qingyun is so unscrupulous because his family has no power or influence.

Lin Dongyang said worriedly: "Xuan'er, did you offend someone?"

After he learned that the restaurant was closed, he thought about it carefully, and found that he had not offended anyone recently, so he asked someone to call Lin Xuan to ask.

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan told Lin Dongyang all about Wang Qingyun's previous visit.

"What can we do?" Lin Dongyang panicked when he heard that it was the Wang family with five surnames Qiwang who made the move.

The Lin family is just a merchant, not to mention a behemoth like the Taiyuan Wang family, they can't afford to mess with any ninth-rank official.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have the lowest status, so it's not just talk.

Lin Xuan had thought about the solution before, but found that there was no way at all.

My family has no foundation, and nothing but a little money.

And the little money in my own family is nothing compared to the Wang family in Taiyuan.

The only big person I know is Cheng Yaojin.

But he only met Cheng Yaojin once, and he didn't know if Cheng Yaojin would help him.

After all, it is not cost-effective to offend the Wang family for him.

"Xuan'er, I'll beg the Wang family and give them the restaurant. Do you think they will let us go?" Lin Dongyang asked.

He didn't blame Lin Xuan, after all, it wasn't Lin Xuan who took the initiative to cause trouble, he just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible to keep his family safe and sound.

Lin Xuan clenched his hands tightly, his nails were almost piercing into the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all, he only felt a deep weakness.

Do not!
Lin Xuan shouted in his heart that Lin Dongyang must not be humbled to beg Wang Qingyun.
