Chapter 1122 Overwhelmed
After listening to Qiongqi's suggestion, Ye Liuyun thought about it and said, "It's feasible to catch the beast. But poisoning may hurt innocent people. We can replace their wine with water-mixed wine!" Qiongqi nodded and said, "That's fine, but the effect is a little weaker! Can I leave now?" The clone laughed and said, "Your suggestion is only half feasible, and you can't be considered a pass. However, if you can carry out the wine exchange, then you can leave!" "You are clearly playing rogue!" Qiongqi was not happy! "Don't get excited! There are formations in the place where the wine is stored in the restaurant. Without you, the formation master, how can we exchange the wine!" Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to flatter Qiongqi again. "Well... Then I will reluctantly help you again!" Qiongqi couldn't stand the praise from others, and immediately agreed in a pretentious manner. So, Ye Liuyun first prepared a few sets of clothes for Chengjia disciples, and then went to the Beast King Mountain Range, caught a lot of beasts, and made a lot of noise. They chatted loudly along the way, saying that they would send the beasts to Cheng's Colosseum.
On the other hand, Duyan had bribed the purchaser of the Colosseum to sell him the beasts at a 10% discount.
The purchaser was greedy for money, so he accepted Duyan's bribe and thought that he could make more money from the Colosseum through the beasts.
He quoted a 70% to 80% discount on the beasts he bought at a 10% discount, and the extra difference was enough for him to live a carefree life for a while.
So when Ye Liuyun and his men sent the beasts, he immediately accepted them. When the Beast King got the news, he actually sent a beast of the Heavenly Venerable Realm to check it out in person.
At a glance, they confirmed that it was undoubtedly the beasts of their Beast King Mountain Range, and they immediately fought and robbed all the beasts that were sold.
From then on, the Beast King notified all the beasts that they should warn the Cheng family when they saw them, and then a strong man would come to kill the Cheng family.
When the Cheng family learned about this, they immediately sent people to investigate, found out the truth, and immediately understood that someone was secretly making trouble.
They immediately sent people to find the beast king to explain. In the end, they didn't even see the beast king, and they fed the beast directly.
The number of beasts in the Cheng family's arena has dropped sharply. They can only buy beasts everywhere to maintain it temporarily.
On the other hand, the news that the Cheng family's several restaurants in the imperial city sold fake wine mixed with water also spread.
The royal family and the Feng family even fanned the flames behind the scenes, exaggerating the news that the Cheng family was going to decline and selling fake wine, and finally it turned into their lack of funds and various problems began to arise.
For a time, the chambers of commerce that had business dealings with the Cheng family came to ask for settlement, and more and more people came, fearing that they would be too late and the Cheng family would not be able to pay the spirit stones.
Faced with the run on many chambers of commerce, the Cheng family could not take out so many spirit stones for a while, so they began to mobilize spirit stones from surrounding branches and other places.
Then, this news was spread again as evidence that the Cheng family had no money to pay the bill.
Those who bought fake wine from Chengjia Restaurant, who didn't know who was backing them, actually started to shout at Chengjia Restaurant, insisting that they should reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors.
People who often visit restaurants in the imperial city are either rich or noble, and these people have great power when they get together.
In desperation, the restaurant could only temporarily close down.
However, in the middle of the night, several restaurants were poisoned again, and whoever went in would die!
Later, even if Chengjia sent a master of poison to clean up, no one dared to come to eat.
"Who dares to go to a restaurant that sells fake wine and poisons people?"
For a time, all the benchmark restaurants built by Chengjia in the imperial city were forced to close down.
At the same time, several disciples of Chengjia who behaved improperly were immediately dug out by people with ulterior motives, and their behavior was exaggeratedly publicized, and Chengjia immediately became the target of public criticism.
The head of Chengjia was so angry that he immediately executed those unpromising disciples.
However, rumors spread immediately, saying that these disciples did a lot of bad things under the instruction of the head of Chengjia. Now that the truth has been revealed, they have all been killed to silence them!
Then the people who were harmed by these disciples, the merchants who owed debts, etc. also came to the door to demand compensation.
In short, waves of news spread everywhere, making the Cheng family overwhelmed and overwhelmed.
There was even news that the Cheng family supported the shadow and the aliens that spread among the powerful. This made the powerful people who wanted to join the Cheng family immediately stop cooperation.
And those officials who had already joined the Cheng family also immediately cut off their relationship with the Cheng family and denounced the Cheng family.
Among all this, only the replacement of wine and poisoning were done by Qiongqi.
After he finished his work, he was afraid that he would be found out by the Cheng family, so he left the imperial city directly and went out to find cultivation resources.
However, those who fanned the flames behind, even Xia Tianqiong could find out that it was the Feng family and the royal family who were playing tricks.
These two forces are obviously going to add insult to injury.
The Cheng family suffered more than just the restaurant and the Colosseum.
The Feng family has begun to take frequent actions to suppress the Cheng family.
There are also many strange things with uncertain reasons that happen frequently.
For example, a certain innkeeper was suddenly robbed and killed; a certain restaurant was forced to close because of a fight between customers; a business partner suddenly died, and the elixir became ineffective, etc.
And Ye Liuyun took advantage of the fact that the Cheng family was too busy to take care of him, and used the funds invested by the Feng family to open two more arenas in succession, and they were very close to the Cheng family's arena.
Soon, he took away half of the Cheng family's business.
As for the branch disciples who dared to come and cause trouble, Ye Liuyun showed no mercy and sent out shadows and numerous monsters to uproot them. The business of Chengjia Colosseum is even worse.
Then use the resources of these branches to continue to expand the Colosseum, and the expansion speed is very fast.
Before Cheng Jia was too busy to deal with him, he had captured 20% of the market and was still expanding.
The main reason is that his current business costs are very low. Only the construction of the Colosseum costs money, and the ferocious beasts and guardian demon cultivators basically do not need to be invested.
But because the family was cut off from the supply of ferocious beasts, they could only buy them at high prices. Moreover, the spiritual stones must be paid in advance, otherwise others will not dare to sell to them because they are worried that the family will fail.
The advantages and disadvantages of both sides are immediately apparent. In just one month, Ye Liuyun had captured the fighting beast market where his family lived in the north of the Central Continent.
Within Ye Liuyun's territory, Chengjia's Colosseum could no longer be opened at all.
In the Colosseum outside Ye Liuyun's rule, some of them closed down due to their branches being pulled out, while others were still struggling to survive and barely survive.
All of Chengjia's businesses have been greatly affected. On one hand, their income has dropped sharply, and on the other hand, their expenses have increased sharply. In addition, more than ten mine veins have been robbed, and their payment pressure is indeed relatively high.
