Qingxia Town, originally a small town, has become extremely prosperous because of its proximity to Dragon City.

In the east of the town, there is a huge mansion, and there are two big characters written on the plaque of the middle gate.

'Zhoufu'

This Zhou Mansion is the most powerful big family in Qingxia Town, not only has some big business in the town, but also has intersections with the dignitaries and dignitaries of Dragon City.

However, only people born and raised in Qingxia Town know that this Zhou's family seems to have a strong background, but it has only been four or five years since they made a fortune.

The current head of the Zhou family was still a broken household in the town five years ago, but because he gave birth to a good son Zhou Zhen, he became the most top-notch family in the entire Qingxia Town.

Five years ago, Zhou Zhen was favored by an immortal chief who came to Qingxia Town, and was taken to the most prestigious school in Dragon City to practice.

And Zhou Cheng, the head of the Zhou family, also used his son's power to seize the original Liu family's mansion, occupy the Liu family's property, and forcibly marry the daughter of the Liu family's father-in-law who is not as old as cardamom.

Of course, it was impossible for the Liu family to watch such a thing happen, and then reported it to the Longcheng Prefecture, but they didn't want the old men in Longcheng, so they directly detained Liu Laozhang and sentenced everything of the Liu family to Zhou Cheng.

Only then did everyone realize that the Zhou family would almost cover the sky in the entire Qingxia Town from now on.

There is a son who is very popular in the Longcheng Academy, and Zhou Cheng's cheeky temperament when he was broken down in the past is even more unscrupulous.

The entire Qingxia Town, as long as it is something that the Zhou family looks at, there has never been a reason for fair trading, and the entire Qingxia Town has completely become the back garden of the Zhou family.

At this moment, he is in the inner hall of the Zhou Mansion.

Directly in front of him sat a man of no doubt, dressed in silk and satin, with a jade and gold ring around his waist, thin eyes, thick lips, and a hooked nose. His face was full of wine.

It's just that this pair of skins is really a waste of that gorgeous clothes.

Zhou Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and there was a beautiful maid rubbing his shoulders with warm wine, five years ago, he never dreamed that he could have today.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

Just when Zhou Cheng was squinting and enjoying, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly broke into the inner hall with a panicked look on his face.

"Well, what kind of system is it that you are flustered!"

Zhou Cheng opened his eyes lazily, in this Qingxia Town, there was really nothing to threaten him.

"Yes, damn it, sir, the guards you sent to Shangyu Village......"

Steward Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, even if he remembered the miserable appearance of those guards at this moment, he couldn't help but feel some palpitations.

"Guard Lou came back with something?"

As soon as Zhou Cheng heard Steward Zhou say this, he suddenly came to his senses.

He has already asked someone to inquire, that Luo Tianzhu powder is worth a lot of money, as long as he can get Dragon City, it is a large sum of silver, even if it is exchanged for other things, he can also let Zhou Zhen take it to the academy to honor some real bigwigs.

"Escort Lou is back, but...... Why don't you go and see for yourself!"

Steward Zhou has been in the Zhou Mansion for four or five years, and the temper of this family master is still well understood, so he simply let Zhou Cheng go and see it himself.

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, Lou Guard was a master sent back by Zhou Zhen from the academy, a small fishing village, isn't it easy to capture?

In a side room in the Zhou family's annex, there were more than a dozen guards who had broken their right arms lying horizontally.

Zhou Cheng looked at the Lou guard who had his legs gone, and suddenly jumped like thunder.

"Immediately send someone to the Dragon City Academy to inform the eldest young master that there is a change in the family, let him come back immediately!"

Zhou Cheng waved his sleeves and left the garden directly, as for the disabled guards, he didn't even take a second look.

......

Shangyu Village, Hai Niang Niang Temple.

Tang Ming untied the ropes on several people, and after helping Han Erye up, he turned around and stared coldly at Nobita and Xiao Liuzi.

"Do you know why I hit you?"

Tang Ming's tone was flat, but the two people in front of him felt a cold air rushing up from the center of their feet, and their hearts and livers couldn't help but tremble.

"I know (I don't know)!"

To Tang Ming's surprise, Nobita, who had always been grinning, nodded solemnly, while Xiao Liuzi, who was usually more clever, shook his head in confusion.

Tang Ming nodded, and didn't explain anything, and the fate of these two ordinary people, who were originally ordinary people, completely changed after such a seemingly puzzling question.

With a conclusion in his heart, when Tang Ming turned around and wanted to leave, he was surrounded by people.

Some of the villagers stared at Tang Ming numbly, and there seemed to be a trace of anger in their eyes, as if it was Tang Ming who came to Shangyu Village to kill people and set fires.

"You...... You can't go!"

Just as Tang Ming was about to go back to eat, many villagers surrounded him, and several men standing in front of him stopped Tang Ming with trembling lips and said.

"Why?"

Tang Ming was a little puzzled, when these people were just committing murder in the Zhou family's guards, they were all as cowardly as quails, but at this time, they seemed to be full of hostility towards him.

"Because you offended the Zhou family, you are not from Shangyu Village, you can leave at any time, but there are so many old and young people in our village, how can we explain to Master Zhou?"

At this time, the crowd around Tang Ming slowly separated, and an old man who was already trembling when he walked came to Tang Ming on crutches.

"Clan elder, you can't say that, if it weren't for Brother Zhou today, it would be our people from Shangyu Village who would have died, besides, that Han boy from your family, if it wasn't for Brother Zhou this time, he would have died at sea a long time ago!"

After the old man finished speaking, Xiao Liuzi stepped forward and said loudly.

"One yard to one yard, he killed and injured the people of Master Zhou's family today, once the young master of the Zhou family comes back, our entire Shangyu Village will suffer, and there is a debtor and a master, so he must not leave. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he knocked on the crutch in his hand unusually arrogantly, and said unreasonably.

", as a clan elder, did you just watch your clan being bullied by outsiders? When the Zhou family was arrogant just now, I didn't see you have such a loud voice!"

Nobita walked in front of Tang Ming and said loudly to the clan elder.

"Presumptuous! I'm the patriarch of Shangyu Village, you dare to talk to me like this? It's against you! Someone, tie up Han Daxiong for me!"

The old man was full of anger at the moment, and with a wave of his big hand, seven or eight villagers with big shoulders and round waists suddenly surrounded him, and he was about to make a move.

"I'll see which of you dare!" grabbed the long knives scattered by the guards on the ground, and Nobita stared viciously at the villagers who rushed up.

Han Daxiong is a bastard, he used to respect the clan elder because the clan elder was the oldest old man in the entire Shangyu Village, but now it seems that he is also an old fool who does not distinguish between right and wrong.

"You...... Tie them both up and send them to the Zhou Mansion!"

The old man's white beard was upturned, and his majesty had never been repeatedly provoked by a few young people as he was today.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Ming's mouth, and he reached out and pressed Nobita's knife-holding arm, saying that poor people must have something to hate, and this sentence didn't seem to be false at all.

"Clan Elder, you are the most prestigious old man in Shangyu Village, everyone believes in you and respects you. ”

Tang Ming walked in front of the old man and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

The clan elder snorted coldly, his status in Shangyu Village, just like the Zhou family in Qingxia Town, has always been the same.

Tang Ming smiled faintly, and didn't care about the attitude of the clan elder, and then said: "Whenever there is a big or small affair in Shangyu Village, you will find a clan elder to preside over it, and you represent protection, fairness, and stability for Shangyu Village." ”

The patriarch's face finally softened a little, but he didn't intend to let go of this young man who had been saying good things to him again and again.

"Clan Elder, I don't know something, I want to ask you for advice. Tang Ming bowed his hand slightly.

The clan elder brushed his beard, nodded, and motioned for Tang Ming to continue.

"Second Master Han is surnamed Han, but the people of Shangyu Village? These young descendants who were tied up here by the Zhou family's guards are surnamed Han, but they are from Shangyu Village? What did you do when they were threatened by outsiders? What do you dare to do?"

"The Zhou family's guards are eyeing Han Xiaohuan, everyone knows what will happen next, and you, the clan elder, where was you at that time?"

"Seeing that your clan is humiliated, but you are hiding in the crowd, silently, and you don't even have the courage to argue with reason, what face do you have to call yourself the clan elder? Everyone usually respects you and supports you as this clan elder, but it's not for you to hold up this old bone nest!"

Tang Ming said a lot in one breath, and the more he got to the back, the more his tone became more and more serious, and at the same time, the aura on his body gradually emanated.

The clan elder was speechless when Tang Ming asked, and his old face was flushed, as if he was going to turn his back on it the next moment.

"I need ...... I need to ensure everyone's safety, if I offend the Zhou family, the entire Shangyu Village will suffer, you can naturally leave, but what about the others? I am thinking about everyone. ”

The clan elder finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily.

"Hehe, that Yi elder, how should today's matter be solved?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Ming's mouth, selfish people can always find what they think is the most reasonable reason for their own interests.

"Of course, it's to hand over what the Zhou Mansion wants, in exchange for everyone's safety!" the old man said with a cold snort, and this was exactly what most of the villagers who had nothing to do with themselves.

Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a reason, this old guy in front of him could say it so confidently, could it be a supreme honor for them to bow their heads?

"Okay, even if you hand over the things, don't you see that the guard wants to humiliate Han Xiaohuan, can you still watch it as a clan elder?" Tang Ming then asked.

"This ...... The guard just wanted to scare Han Er, and wouldn't really do anything to Xiaohuan. The clan elder's eyes were a little evasive, and his voice was much quieter.

"Hahaha......"

Tang Ming let out a long laugh, he thought that he had seen a lot of the world along the way, but like the old man in front of him, it was really the first time.

"What are you laughing at? It's just a woman, even if the guard takes a fancy to the little bad and exchanges a woman for the safety of hundreds of people in Shangyu Village, it's worth it!"

The clan elder was a little mad by Tang Ming's laughter, and then subconsciously said what he thought in his heart.

"Fart! If it weren't for the Han family's life-saving grace for me, I would have killed you now!"

Tang Ming suppressed his laughter and said as he stared at the clan elder with murderous intent.
