They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 130 Thunder in Broad Daylight, Gods and Demons Clash

"What? What was cleaved? What cleaved it?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Changfeng's eyes widened, and ignoring the crimson in his hand, he stepped out the door.

His clothes were still stained with blood, but he no longer had the timidity or recklessness of the past. Instead, he exuded an air of unparalleled maturity.

Ye Changfeng casually summoned someone and asked, "What happened?"

The man said, "Yes, it was a mine collapse on the outskirts of Feiyun City. It was struck by a bolt of lightning in clear weather. No miners were injured, but the roads were blocked..."

"Moreover, it's said that someone took advantage of the chaos to rise up! Now, troops from all four towns have been mobilized!"

"It's not just the troops in the town; a portion of the troops that Marquis Sinan left in our Shuiyun Town have also been dispatched..."

Ye Changfeng gasped, his eyes wide with shock.

The man asked, "Sir, does someone in your family work in a mine? If so, contact them immediately and ask what's going on. Those people wailing are there because someone in their family is working in a mine..."

"Back then, quite a few people from our Shuiyun Town were forcibly taken there by the Xie family, and now they're mining!"

At this point, anger flashed across the man's face. "Come to think of it, it's not surprising that this mine was struck by lightning..."

"This sir probably doesn't know, but this mine is said to belong to a powerful family in Qingzhou. Since no one was mining it, they sent the Xie family of Feiyun City to gather manpower!"

"And what was the result? The Xie family did gather manpower, but they used it to frame the people in various places with fabricated charges!"

"They forced them to work in the mines, toiling away in hardship. Some people were clearly innocent, but they were arrested and forced to work in the mines, and some even lost their lives..."

"This mineral vein incident has caused widespread anger and resentment, so it's no wonder there was a bolt from the blue; this is clearly retribution!"

Ye Changfeng shook his head and returned to the Shuiyun Town branch of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

His guards and attendants immediately came forward and asked, "Third Young Master, what's going on?!"

"Could it be that the Qingzhou branch has come looking for trouble?!"

Their faces were filled with fear, after all, they had followed Ye Changfeng to seize power everywhere, and now the four towns of Feiyun City were all Ye Changfeng's territory.

If the young master Ye Changyu knew this, he would probably be furious.

Ye Changfeng snorted, "Are you all that scared? What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, I'll take care of it for you..."

"Don't worry, it's not a matter concerning the headquarters, it's a matter concerning Flying Cloud City!"

One of his followers, who had been with him for a long time and had seen a lot of the world, was utterly shocked after hearing Ye Changfeng's description.

"What?! Something happened at the mine in Feiyun City?! Isn't that the Mo family's territory?!"

"The Mo family is a more powerful family than the Su family... If something happens at the mine, the Mo family will probably be furious. They will not only blame the Xie family, but the Su family might also be held accountable!"

"No wonder Marquis Su Changsheng of Sinan was in such a hurry!"

Ye Changfeng was aware of this, of course, but another question arose in his mind.

A few days ago, Su Luo sent him a letter, telling him to wait for an opportunity.

Once the opportunity arises, we will not only take direct control of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce branch in Shuiyun Town, but also take over the entire Shuiyun Town.

At that time, Ye Changfeng thought that Su Luo was overthinking things. After all, Shuiyun Town was not simple, as it was home to the troops of the Marquis of Sinan.

But today, something happened at the mine in Feiyun City?!

Moreover, it was a bolt from the blue...

Ye Changfeng was genuinely shocked. His previous shock stemmed from Su Luo's methods, but this time, he began to suspect that Su Luo might also be behind it!

If that's the case, isn't it a bit too unimaginable? Could it be that Su Luo can communicate with ghosts and gods?!

Just then, a figure hurried down the street and threw a note at the gate of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce branch.

Ye Changfeng immediately stepped forward, looked down, and then promptly used his foot to grind the note into pieces, making the writing unreadable.

Then, he turned to his men and shouted, "Attack!"

"From this day forward, the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce in the four towns under Feiyun City will all be our territory!"

"We are determined to make them an unbreakable unit... Hmph, if Ye Changyu has any objections, I'll go to Qingzhou and ask him properly: Does Ye Changyu have the qualifications to become the future head of the Ye family, but don't I, Ye Changfeng, have them too?!"

"If the Ye family patriarch, Ye Changyu, can sit here, why can't I, Ye Changfeng, sit here too?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was slightly stunned, looking at Ye Changfeng as if they were meeting him for the first time.

In their minds, this was something their third young master should never have said!

This is simply... amazing!

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Changfeng was thinking to himself, "Brother Su Luo, you can even conjure up something like thunder in a clear sky..."

"Then, you'll definitely be able to let me win, right?!"

……

The residence of the Marquis of Sinan.

Su Changsheng's face was extremely gloomy. He had originally planned to lie low for a while, waiting for the mysterious force behind Su Luo to reveal its true colors.

Therefore, even though he knew about Xue Baichen's attack on Xiaoyun Village, he did not respond.

I was thinking of staying out of the situation first and seeing how things went before making a decision.

But who would have thought? Something went wrong at the mine in Feiyun City!

"A thunderclap in broad daylight—is there really such a thing as 'retribution'?!"

Su Changsheng expressed his disbelief, saying, "If there really is such a thing as retribution, then I, Su Changsheng, am so beloved by the people, so everything should go smoothly for me..."

"This mine has collapsed. What if the Mo family gets furious and refuses to pay?!"

Su Changsheng was very annoyed. Wasn't the Mo family's mine being able to be mined so smoothly precisely because of his involvement?!

Therefore, in addition to the miners' fees, the Mo family had to give Su Changsheng extra silver every year.

This can be considered one of the Su family's main sources of income.

Losing this income would be a huge loss for Su Changsheng.

This is why Su Changsheng sent troops there immediately.

At this moment, the First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion also came over with surprise and doubt, and said, "My Lord, Bai Chen... has lost contact!"

"We agreed that he would arrive in Xiaoyun Village in the next few days, and after dealing with Su Luo, he would investigate the situation and then write back to me."

"But he hasn't contacted me for five days, and I've also heard that the five hundred elite soldiers sent by Feiyun City have all disappeared. Neither Yunhai Town nor Feixia Town has retrieved those one hundred warhorses..."

"Could it be that Su Luo killed all the elite soldiers and Bai Chen of Feiyun City?!"

Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng immediately raised his head...
