In the small courtyard set up by the Zhang family for craftsmen and musicians, Jin Shiquan stared silently at the man in front of him who had been the head of the Zhang family for many years. Finally, the weakness that had been polished for many years but still tried hard to hide was exposed to outsiders. In front of him, even a small person like Jin Shiquan, whom the entire Zhang family regarded as a slave, the head of the Zhang family did not care, exposing the cowardice and fear in his heart.
I am afraid that no matter who is standing in front of the lost middle-aged man at this time, the latter cannot hide it.
If Zhang Jialing could witness such a scene with his own eyes, he would feel relieved no matter what. Unfortunately, he was preoccupied with important matters, so he did not stay in the hospital for a long time and missed a great show in Zhang Jialing's eyes. Somewhat regretful.
The Zhang family has always been good at using power to overwhelm others. It has to be said that even if the people who come after me work hard and work hard for many years, they may not be able to compete with the accumulation of others over the years. The fact that the Zhang family is as powerful as it is now is still due to the extraordinary skills and basic family background of the first generation of the Zhang family. It has been blessed for many years now. There is no need to use many conspiracy methods, and there is no need to work hard to maintain a good family. To make it prosperous and lasting, even if one generation fights to the death, how can the accumulation of multiple generations of the same family be comparable?
And this kind of situation has also harmed many people, including the head of the Zhang family who was also very kind and resourceful when he was young. Many people risk their lives to reach the top, but the Zhang family's destiny is far higher than that of ordinary people, so it seems that they have used all their calculations and cruelty to seize the position of the head of the family. As for standing as the head of the family, After high and low, everything seems to be instantaneous
After relaxing for a while, he has yet to make any extraordinary move, let alone work hard to bring the Zhang family to the top once again. I have to say the last sentence, how can a person from a humble family who has just entered the officialdom be able to control the court and control nearly 50% of the court's officials, often with very little power? How can a noble family and a noble family have a fight with each other, although there is no precedent for this. It has never been seen in ancient times, but the word "destiny" is still mysterious and mysterious. It is not a thorn in the side. A natural talent can stand in the history of Qing Dynasty, and it is not necessarily possible to retire after success.
The current head of the Zhang family is such a handsome man who was born with a lot of talents. It's just a pity that he climbed up the stairs and saw how powerful the head of the family is, and how rich the Zhang family is. After learning the truth, he abandoned his so-called talents. Instead, like the previous heads of the Zhang family, he only had to pass on the Zhang family's security to the next generation according to the methods of the previous heads, and his merits were fulfilled and he lived up to the high expectations of his ancestors. .
The head of the family twenty years ago would not necessarily lose against Zhang Jialing, but the head of the family who only knows how to eat apricots and dates in the Jade Mansion twenty years later is no longer in a panic all the time, for fear that one day a new head of the family will be established. Zhang Jialing's opponent.
What's more, over the years, he has become the head of the wealthy Zhang family. In the eyes of many Zhang family nobles and other high-ranking old people, he is no longer as good as Zhang Jialing. Naturally, he is willing to take Zhang Jialing as his own. The family's lifeline and power are entrusted to Zhang Jialing, who can bring the Zhang family to a higher level. It just so happened that the three members of the family had realized that Shanlan City was not necessarily a place where they could live for a long time. It required someone with such strong skills and no so-called benevolence.
The new owner, who was restrained by moral principles, caused the three families, which had already shown their vicissitudes of life, to branch out in other places. He was ambitious and ruthless, so he was indispensable. Choosing Zhang Jialing, no matter how he looked at it, he was the best. Act of.
Since what is lacking is not a lord who maintains the status quo, but a hero who can do anything to expand the territory and expand the territory, it seems that there is no need to think too much about who is better and which is worse. However, at this time, the head of the Zhang family can no longer smell the storm before Shanlan City. The earthy smell.
Once you lose power, you lose everything.
People who raise tigers will eventually realize that bears and tigers are born wild and may not be easy to let go. What's more, over the years, they have lost their youthful beauty due to being too pampered.
Jin Shiquan watched with open eyes. The head of the Zhang family tremblingly placed the two heads on the table in the house, and tremblingly rubbed them to find a piece of white silk from the simple residence. Even though it was already covered with dust, it was ignored. Regardless, he stepped on the dusty desk that had not been cleaned, and then hung up the white silk ribbon. His eyes were hollow, blurred with tears and dejected, and he looked at the heads of the woman and the child. They didn't look like the head of the Zhang family at all. , is clearly only a middle-aged man, but at this time he has aged for no reason.
"The master orders the slaves
Send this document to the head of the family and give up the position of head of the family. "Jin Shiquan came forward, but he didn't know when he brought a pot of wine. He slowly walked up to the poor man and handed over the pot of wine and documents.
"Young master said, if you still take into account the title of father and son, you might as well be more dignified and give up the position of head of the family. You will naturally have a peaceful life to live in your old age. I hope you don't make a mistake. There is a pot of wine now, so the family wants to have it. Personal face
, this is dignity. "
"It's really a thoughtful thought, but where is the head of the family now? Even if I don't write on this document, doesn't Zhang Jialing have the final say in the Zhang family?" The old-looking head of the Zhang family sat at the table. Wiping away the tears on my face, looking at the pot of wine, I actually laughed again, "It's really decent. Someone will decide my affairs after my death. Even if the biggest crime is placed on me to convince the public, I still don't believe it. "Xin, if you can leave me an excellent death mark, it can be regarded as the most benevolent thing." After saying this, the head of the Zhang family, who had not eaten a grain of rice for many days, actually gushed out some strength as if reflecting on the light, and smashed the pot of wine. When he reached Jin Shiquan's forehead, he exerted so much force that blood dripped from his forehead almost instantly, and the wine bottle exploded. However, Jin Shiquan still stood humbly in the courtyard, letting the cold wind slide over the blood on his forehead.
"You, a slave, also want to see the head of the Zhang family die?"
"Get out of the hospital!"
So Jin Shiquan saluted indifferently and actually walked out of the door slowly. He just looked back when he went out.
This house reserved for craftsmen and musicians actually has a very wide view. You only need to stand in front of the door. Because of its high location, you can almost see the entire three houses from here. In winter, there is a cold wind and there is not a single building. There was no sign of grayness in the night, no sign of extravagance with the lights on all night long. There are untalented and virtuous women wearing fur coats, and there are sinister and greedy men who drink enough gold and expensive wine. Looking at them now, I always feel that my stomach is churning, so much so that I can't even feel the pain in my forehead.
In the Yaoyao Inn, Jiang Baigui dismissed everyone, and Yun Zhong helped him walk to the rooftop on the second floor.
He was seated, but he could no longer drink. The main bone on his chest and some parts of his throat were injured by the royal talisman. It was obvious that he could no longer drink, and his life was even in danger. It was Yun Zhong who had forced the life-threatening elixir he brought from Nangong Mountain into his mouth and forced him to swallow it, so he could hold on until now. But he was dying and death was almost a foregone conclusion.
People who practice Taoism can use their inner energy to sort out the meridians of ordinary people and remove diseases and stasis. However, when encountering such an injury, even if the famous doctors come and come, they are still helpless. The injury is too serious. Although they can force it with sword energy, The blood was blocked, but too much vitality was wasted. Now, if there was no great opportunity, it would be a certain death situation. But Jiang Baigui didn't look like a dying person at all. Instead, he endured such painful injuries. After sitting down, he still said to himself that Yun Zhong was really a boy who scattered wealth. A pill like this that can extend his life is so useless. It really shouldn't be wasted on an ordinary person for no reason.
The more calm Jiang Baigui became, the more tense Yun Zhong's expression became. Just as Jiang Baigui was about to pick up the cup again, Yun Zhong stopped him and threw the cup far away, making a crisp sound in the long street.
"Mortals are destined to die, but it's just a matter of time. Practitioners often live for more than a hundred years, and even the most capable masters in the past and present have never survived forever. Why is it like this? I know that Brother Yun values love and righteousness, but... You have to leave in peace for your brother, right?"
"If you have the elixir to prolong your life, it may not mean that you will not be able to survive until dawn. If you come to see your doctor, it may not mean that you will not be able to survive."
Jiang Baigui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why don't I want to stay longer? After all, I want to see with my own eyes how the affairs of Shanlan City will be settled. The three families
Now being led by Zhang Jialing, it may not be so easy to deal with. Jiang Baigui certainly wants to see with his own eyes that the people here can live by their own abilities, without being oppressed by anyone, and without having to rely on three families to survive. Having said that, this elixir of yours is really useful. Now I don’t feel so much pain. If I can hold on until dawn, I might be able to live. "
Yun Zhong just turned around and saw Jiang Baigui picking up the cup again. He frowned and said, "You know clearly that this elixir is useful, but you want to die?"
Jiang Baigui, who rarely smiled freely and freely, quickly put down his cup and raised his hand to Yun Zhonggong, "Okay, I won't drink it if you say you don't want to."
In winter in the North, it gets very bright and very late, and the toil lasts almost all night
, each of them was injured, and even Yunzhong felt tired. Jiang Baigui, who looked much better, sat down in the same place and looked towards the sunrise. However, Jiang Baigui, who was obviously much calmer, still talked a lot. Some people say that the sun rises in Yanggu, but no matter how you think about it, you can't explain this statement. It is said that these clerks are a little dull, and the shopkeeper may not be a talented person, but they all know the way they originally arranged, even if I was immediately killed by that cultivator tonight, but it was still useless.
He said that Jiang Baigui could never be killed or killed. Shanlan City was small, but he didn’t know how difficult it would be to extinguish the sparks. He said that even if he didn’t have to be the first person, someone else would definitely do it. What the three families hold is the general trend, but it really cannot compare to the general trend that can only be glimpsed in the history books. It is really like a torrent like flying fire, capable of infiltrating the entire world. I wonder if there will be like-minded people coming in droves in the future.
At the time of dawn, many Shanlan cities
The people inside could not sleep well last night. It was because the turmoil in the city was too heavy. At least they stayed up until the night gradually faded. Many people opened their sore eyes and looked out of the houses and windows. go.
But there is little flying snow, but there are thick clouds and thin clouds.
