The room was quiet except for the sound of Zhou Guangren flipping through the files.
After a long while, Zhou Guangren glanced at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on one knee, and said calmly: "The rebel clan members will only kill the chief culprits, and send the rest to Fushan to mine; all the Wang family disciples will abolish their cultivation, gouge out their eyes, and throw them back." "The Fang family will not move, let them come and collect it, and Uncle Twelve will go and talk to them."
One faction fights another. The Wang family in Shangyongshan is weak. They are both engaged in the business of selling ore and have always been at odds with the Zhou family. However, the Fang family in Ningyigu has no fundamental conflict of interest with the Zhou family, and there are two other leaders in the family. Ji, there is no need to offend to death.
"Yes, head of the family."
The middle-aged man kneeling on one knee responded with his hands raised. Six months ago, the then head of the Zhou family, Zhou Wuxiang, failed in seclusion during the foundation-building period and died. His eldest grandson, the original acting head of the family and the eldest son of the "Guang" generation of the Zhou family, Zhou Guangren, took over as head of the family. Zhou Wuyun, Zhou Shicong and others who were affiliated with the Zhou family refused to accept this decision and colluded with outsiders in an attempt to kill Zhou Guangren and seize the position of head of the Zhou family. However, Zhou Guangren, who was well prepared, captured them all.
After saying that, Zhou Guangren looked at the old man on his lower left and asked, "Grandpa Ninth, what do the Chen family say?"
The prim and serious old man's name is Zhou Wuyi. He is eighty-two years old and is at the eighth level of Qi training. He ranks ninth among the "Wu" generation of the Zhou family. He is an elder of the Zhou family and one of Zhou Guangren's strong supporters. . With a straight face, he stroked his beard and raised his head and said, "The Chen family has agreed. They will stand on our side and will send Chen Yunjie and other senior figures to help us support the show."
After Zhou Wuxiang failed to advance to the foundation stage six months ago, the Zhou family was unstable both internally and externally. Zhou Guangren suppressed the usurping clan members internally, and used the interests of the Zhou family's mines and shops to win over various sects and families externally in order to stabilize the situation. The Chen family in Xinchangshan were in-laws of the Zhou family and were not weak in strength. Zhou Guangren asked Zhou Wuyi to take action, using both the emotional and profit cards, and finally gained the support of the Chen family.
"Okay," Zhou Guangren nodded, and then said: "Wu'an Sect, we also need to ask Grandpa Jiu to make a trip. We can give up two shops in Da'anfang City, and we can also hire his disciples as guards on a long-term basis. "
"Well, I'll go." Zhou Wuyi frowned and nodded, sighing slightly: "Old Eleven is really dizzy..."
The "Eleventh Old Man" he refers to is Zhou Wuyun, who was arrested after failing to usurp power and ranked eleventh among the "Wu" generation.
Ignoring Zhou Wuyi's sigh, Zhou Guangren turned his attention to the middle-aged man kneeling on one knee and asked, "Is there any news from Chen Feixiong and others?"
The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and replied: "Reporting to the head of the family, we have sent out all the spies, but there is no news yet."
"No news yet?"
Zhou Guangren's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, the whole room became quiet. The only sounds left were the friction of clothes when the maid squeezed his shoulders, and the nervous and subtle breathing of the middle-aged man. There were a few drops of sweat on the forehead of the middle-aged man, and he didn't dare to breathe. He knelt down and said, "Master of the family, I will atone for my sins. I will immediately increase my investment and I will definitely find them!"
The aloof Zhou Guangren squinted his eyes and said nothing, and the air in the whole room became heavy. The middle-aged man put his forehead on the ground, and beads of sweat kept flowing down. Although the head of the house in front of him looked young, his hands had been stained with the blood of many people directly or indirectly. If he was offended, even if he was He is a member of his own family, and he has never been soft-hearted.
Just when the middle-aged man could hardly breathe, Zhou Guangren, the leader, finally spoke: "Go to the training hall to receive your punishment. You must get news from them within a month."
"Yes! I understand that I will not disappoint the head of the family!" The middle-aged man paused his head vigorously on the ground as if he had been granted amnesty. Then he stood up slightly, walked backwards and exited the room: "My subordinates, please leave."
Watching the middle-aged man go down, Zhou Wuyi frowned, looked at Zhou Guangren and said: "This matter cannot be delayed. My family is so grand this time. If there is no result, I am afraid that the majesty will be wiped out..."
After a pause, he continued: "Chen Feixiong is a foundation-building monk. There is another excuse. The woman named Yuan has been against my family several times. At least her head must be taken off."
Zhou Guangren narrowed his slender eyes and gently took the delicate hand of the woman behind him. The woman then let him pull her over as if there was no one else around. She relied on his strength to lean into his arms. She raised her beautiful eyes to face Zhou Guangren. See.
Zhou Guangren stroked the top of her head with his other hand and said to her, "I'm afraid I need you to take action this time."
"Tui'er understands." The woman named Cui'er narrowed her eyes in enjoyment and said crisply: "Don't worry, young master, leave it to Cui'er!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wuyi's already stern face became more furrowed. He frowned and turned his head to one side, but finally said nothing.
Cui'er is a personal girl who grew up with Zhou Guangren. She has five colors of spiritual roots and aptitudes. She originally had no future and was only raised as a concubine for Zhou Guangren. But when she was fourteen years old, she learned some evil skills from nowhere. She was best at hiding her body and doing some dirty work that could not be seen in the light. When Puru found out that Zhou Wuyun and others were colluding with outsiders, she was Her contribution.
It is said that her hands are stained with the blood of a lot of monks from the Zhou family. Zhou Guangren was able to secure his position as the head of the family, and many things were done with her hands. She was considered to be Zhou Guangren's best confidant.
According to Zhou Wuyi's opinion, for those who do dirty work, just be cold and treat them as pawns, but looking at the way Zhou Guangren treats Cui'er, it seems that he is truly moved. After all, this is Zhou Guangren's own private matter, and Zhou Wuyi can't always mention it. Fortunately, Cui'er is also focused on Zhou Guangren. Otherwise, several elders in the clan will definitely not just look at it like this.
Zhou Guangren's slightly narrow eyes rarely relaxed, and there was some softness in his eyes: "The other party has foundation-building monks. You are not allowed to take action. Once you find their traces, return immediately."
"Okay..." Cui'er agreed sweetly, but secretly thought in her heart: These three people have ruined Brother Ren's affairs, and they deserve to die. If I find a chance, I will definitely get some parts from you, so that Brother Ren can happy.
Since Zhou Wuyi was still present, the two of them separated after only getting tired for a moment. Cui'er bowed slightly to the two of them, then disappeared and went out of the back room.
Seeing her going down, Zhou Wuyi finally held back and did not say anything to dissuade her. Instead, he stroked his beard and asked: "Master, do you need me to go to Shangzong's side?"
"No need." Zhou Guangren waved his hand and his eyes flickered in his narrow eyes: "We will discuss this matter after Cui'er comes back. I think there will be news in about a month at most. Then I will make a trip myself."
