Chapter 396: Wind Pool City Lord
Feng Rulan, who had just sat back, stood up again, trembling with her hands on the dragon crutches, like a person who was about to die, but unlike the previous mood of seeing Wang Jiutong, Feng Rulan's gaze was more cautious and vigilant, and even accompanied by anger.
While speaking, Cheng Mingqing and his son Cheng Shaojing both walked in, on the right were Lin Zhenhai, Lin Xin father and son, and in the center was an arrogant old man with eyebrows and flying dragons.
Needless to ask, this old man is the master of a large super family that has been on par with the Ming family in recent years, Zhong Wuxiu.
Speaking of Zhong Wuxiu, I have to mention the grievances of the Zhong and Ming families, in fact, the rise of the Zhong family is entirely because of the Ming family, when Zhong Wuxiu was the leader of the Ming family's outer branch, Li Liang, cultivated as a masterful, talented, and wise, is a rare ruthless character, in the Ming family, Zhong Wuxiu served Ming Dongcheng for more than 20 years, loyal, is Ming Dongcheng attaches great importance to it and trusts, Zuihou finally settled his family in a place called Fengchi City not far from Zhongtian City.
At the beginning, the ten shows of Mingcheng were all eyeing Fengchi City, and Mingdongcheng secretly helped Zhong Wuxiu rise, and finally Fengchi City was used, and later, because of Zhong Wuxiu's hard work, Mingdongcheng decided to let Zhong Wuxiu take the lead, and Zhong Wuxiu did not refuse, so he took the lead with his family to Fengchi City.
After more than ten years, Zhong Wuxiu has been conscientiously taking care of the Zhong family's trivial affairs, and therefore the Zhong family is a little brilliant, of course, this is indispensable Ming Dongcheng's funding for Zhong Wuxiu, that is, the eighteenth year of the trade fair, originally Zhong Wuxiu was not qualified to participate, if it were not for the intentional recommendation of Ming Dongcheng, the Zhong family would not have spent a huge amount of money to obtain the three major treasures.
Since then, the rise of the Zhong family in Zhongtian, originally the rise of the Zhong family was a blessing or a curse for Ming Dongcheng, but in recent years, Zhong Wuxiu's wolf ambitions have finally come to light, first there is a turf dispute, the Zhong family has two consecutive conflicts for several valleys between Fengchi City and Zhongtian City, the mineral veins of the mountains, and the production of medicinal materials, and then the trade route of transportation has also been robbed by them. At this point, Ming Dongcheng found out that he was raising tigers.
Ming Dongcheng took people to question Zhong Wuxiu Weishenme to do this, but the answer was that Zhong Wuxiu had nearly reached the sixfold divine martial skills, and Ming Dongcheng, who had a draw with Zhong Wuxiu, knew that the big thing had gone, so he retreated to Zhongtian and suffered a lot. I didn't expect Zhong Wuxiu to be even more excessive, the Ming family has the ten shows of Mingcheng, and the six servants of the Zhong family's wind pool, but Zhong Wuxiu is still not satisfied, especially in the past three years, the Zhong family has developed vigorously, and gradually extended its tentacles back to Zhongtian City.
In the final analysis, the Zhong family is involved with the Ming family, and there is a great sense of vow, so the Zhong and Ming families have always been at odds, and on the occasion of the funeral in Ming Dongcheng, the appearance of the Zhong family undoubtedly intensified the grief of the Ming family, so the Ming family had this reaction.
All the Ming family members stood up, and Ming Chengfeng frowned even more, holding the hilt of the sword, it seemed that once something happened, he would definitely take action without hesitation and behead these ungrateful people under the sword.
Feng Jueyu generally knew some of the entanglements between the Zhong family and the Ming family, and when he inadvertently looked up and wanted to take a good look at Zhong Wuxiu, he suddenly found a familiar figure, this person was the Zhong Gongzi.
"It seems that the Lin family and the Zhong family have come together. ”
He looked at Cheng Mingqing again: What's the matter with this old guy, the three families appeared at the same time, could it be that the Cheng family also defected to the Zhong family?
"What are you doing here?" Ming Chengfeng stepped forward to question, his tone was uneven, faintly angry, but Mrs. Ming was silent.
Zhong Wuxiu squinted at Ming Chengfeng, his eyes were full of disdain, with his age not enough to worry about a junior, Zhong Wuxiu didn't pay attention to Ming Chengfeng, and bowed in front of the old lady Feng Rulan with both hands: "Wuxiu heard the bad news of the death of the head of the family, came to worship, and asked Mrs. to mourn by the way." ”
These words are polite and decent, and they can't tolerate others getting angry, and it can be seen that Zhong Wuxiu's glory from nothing to today is definitely not caused by luck, at least, this old guy's city is so deep that people feel terrible.
Feng Rulan's face was cold, her gloom was not reduced, no matter how much he hated Zhong Wuxiu, he couldn't be rude in front of everyone, after all, people came to worship, if he didn't give this face, wouldn't it show that the family was narrow-minded and had no room for people?
The old lady waved her hand slightly and said, "Chengfeng, retreat." Then he presented it with one hand: "The head of the Zhong family has a heart, please ......"
The heavy atmosphere has always permeated the funeral hall for a long time, coupled with the depression that Ming Dongcheng has just died, the hall is extremely cold, and the feeling is as helpless as if you have stripped people naked and thrown them in the cold snow.
Zhong Wuxiu nodded, with a sense of sorrow on his face, silently brushed his sleeves and shook his robe, knelt on his knees, and exclaimed sadly: "Congratulations to my lord......"
Then he said: "Wuxiu received the grace of the city lord, only today's wind pool, Wuxiu will never dare to forget, my lord will go well, when Wuxiu finds out the murderer of my lord, Wuxiu will enshrine this person's head in front of my lord's tomb, in order to tell the master in the spirit of the sky......"
As he spoke, Zhong Wuxiu bowed down extremely sadly.
However, this move caused all the Ming family to sneer, Zhong Wuxiu was willing to avenge Ming Dongcheng? It's a big joke, who doesn't know that no one in the realm of Zhongtian City wants Ming Dongcheng to die more than Zhong Wuxiu, it's already good if you don't raise a glass to celebrate, and comfort the souls of people in the sky, and talk nonsense with your eyes open.
In fact, everyone understands that Zhong Wuxiu's pretentiousness is nothing more than preaching his own righteousness, and he has not forgotten his roots, but unfortunately, in addition to being looked down upon by others, only a few guys who don't know the truth will cast a few imperceptible glances in appreciation.
After the worship, Lin Zhenhai and Cheng Mingqing also stepped forward, and the heads of the Lu family, Jing family, and Yun family also appeared, and the ceremony was carried out directly to the afternoon, basically everyone bowed down, and then flattered the tea in the back hall.
Feng Jueyu had been kneeling in front of him for most of the day, and he had a sore back, so he took the opportunity to tell Ming Chengfeng to go to the back hall to drink saliva, and he didn't listen to the words in the back, but he just drank a few sips, and suddenly a figure stopped in front of him, it was Lin Xin.
This ghostly guy recognized Feng Jueyu at a glance, and immediately laughed in the back hall despite the presence of many family masters: "Feng Jueyu, why are you dressed like this? Could it be that Your Excellency also has an identity as the illegitimate son of the Ming City Lord?"
In fact, he had already seen Feng Jueyu, and he had not seized the opportunity to belittle him, and when he happened to return to the back hall, the two collided, how could Lin Xin dare to let go of such a great opportunity, as soon as these words came out, the head of the entire back hall turned his gaze, and after staring at Qing Qing, he thought that Feng Jueyu was the guy who had handed over good luck at the trade fair and obtained a white ring bead from the second-class treasure, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
Feng Jueyu was bowing his head and grieving, how could he have time to pay attention to Lin Xin, raised his head and glanced at him, walked to the side without saying a word, picked up the teacup and drank it, and then was about to leave.
I never thought that Lin Xin would not hesitate to stop in front of him: "You haven't answered my words yet." ”
Xing Kun's trouble is dealt with, it doesn't mean that Feng Jueyu can cause trouble, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with people like Lin Xin, but this kid is too ignorant of current affairs, Ming Dongcheng Dadian actually said such a thing, fortunately, the Ming family is still in front of the hall to make filial piety, otherwise he would have to be kicked out if he didn't need to make a move.
Feng Jueyu looked at Lin Xin sideways, and only said one sentence: "Lin Gongzi, today is the Ming City Lord Dadian, I hope you will accumulate some virtue." ”
Originally, it was to remind Lin Xin not to talk nonsense, but how do you know that the kid mistakenly thought that Feng Jue Yu was timid, and said loudly: "Haha, you are scared, I thought that your surname Feng was unscrupulous in Zhongtian City, it turns out that you and the Ming family still have this relationship." ”
As soon as these words came out, Feng Jueyu knew that he couldn't argue, and he shouldn't have put on filial piety clothes today, and he appeared in the family seat, looking at the faces of the heads of the family around him, he all looked like he had a sudden realization, no matter how much he explained, it was useless.
Feng Jueyu simply didn't want to pay attention to him, at this time, Feng Rulan and even all the Ming family came, according to Feng Jueyu's observation, except for a few young women and children, these people were all the principals of the Ming family, including Ming Chengfeng, accompanied by Mrs. Ming, followed by Wang Jiutong, next to Zhong Wuxiu, Lin Zhenhai, Cheng Mingqing, and even Chen Wankong, the head of the Chen family, Lu Weijiang, the head of the Lu family, Yun Yurong, the head of the Yun family, and Jing Juexin, the head of the Jing family, all of them were present, like a grand event, striding into the back hall.
Feng Jueyu and Lin Xin were standing by the door, in fact, it was difficult to find the two of them from this angle, Feng Rulan and Zhong Wuxiu didn't go to see anyone in the hall at all, and approached directly, Feng Rulan sat in the first place, with a serious and murderous cold face, as if something big had happened, which made the old man angry.
Entering the hall, everyone put down the teacup in their hands, and there was no need to give a seat, Zhong Wuxiu sat on the left side and headed first, followed by Lin Zhenhai and Cheng Mingqing.
When everyone sat down, Feng Rulan asked with a cold face: "If there is something that the City Lord of Zhong is afraid of, just listen to it." ”
Zhong Wuxiu didn't dare to say a word, and then opened his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Feng Jueyu realized that something was wrong.
"What Zhong wants to say is that the governing power of Nakano Castle ......"
