Chapter 190: The Cause of Uncle's Death
Zhong Zitao was puzzled when he heard this: "Dad, although our Zhong family is in decline now, even the gold ore mined by the family itself has to be divided into ninety percent, but there are a lot of materials left in exchange for one percent." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf it was the same as in previous years, how much of these resources can our father and son share? ”
Zhong Tianbing sighed helplessly: "Tao'er, you must understand the truth of cold lips and teeth." You are still young, and you can understand many things in time, but unfortunately you woke up too late for your father. ”
Zhong Tianbing's heart is really complicated, and it is because of the changes caused by Zhong Zihao more than two years ago that he made himself the head of the family. But today's head of the Zhong family is just a superficial scenery, but in fact, he is controlled by others everywhere. Thinking about this, I really don't know whether to thank him or hate him.
Looking at the bewildered expressions of his children, Zhong Tianbing felt a deep helplessness in his heart, they would become like this, and it was inseparable from his teachings in previous years. However, at that time, he was also blinded by the desire for power, otherwise how could he be in such a dilemma today?
Shaking his head, Zhong Tianbing didn't say anything more, and led Zhong Zitao's brother and sister to the back mountain. As long as children can grow up safely, sooner or later they will understand.
When the three of them came to the Houshan mining area, they found that the two elders of Luo Yunzong, Lu Xiangrong and Yu Liang, Xu Daming, the head of the Xu family, Wang Baishan, the head of the Wang family, and Chu Yuan, the third master of the Chu family, had all arrived here.
Behind them, there were still a lot of people carrying ores, these people had almost no cultivation, and their clothes were filthy, and they were all ordinary people of their respective forces.
The people of several major forces all found out that Zhong Tianbing and the three of them were coming, but they only turned their heads to look at them, and no one stepped forward to say hello, and their expressions were quite cold. Only the young master of the Xu family, Yu Gong's eyes lit up, and he just stared at Zhong Ziwen a few more times.
I only heard Luo Yunzong Elder Lu Xiangrong say: "Just according to what we just said, as before, let's go to the temporary warehouse to move the gold stone mine." ”
Everyone naturally nodded yes, and the scene was quite joyful.
Suddenly, Chu Yuan, the third master of the Chu family, said to Xu Daming: "Brother Xu, for some reason this time on my Chu family's side, the person transporting the ore has not yet arrived, do you think you can draw a few people to help carry it together?" ”
It's just that these unrefined ores are too large, otherwise why would they need to be so troublesome, just use a few storage rings to pack them, there are no such problems at all.
However, Qiyun Country is a primary country, and even Luo Yun Sect is not a big force, and it is extremely difficult to get a storage ring of high grade, and the storage rings owned by ordinary Juyuan Realm martial artists are the kind with small space. That's why Chu Yuan has such a requirement.
Xu Daming felt that this was not a big deal, and the two sides had been quite happy in the past few years, and was about to open his mouth to agree, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhong Tianbing standing on the side. With a thought in his mind, he spoke: "Brother Zhong, you see that Brother Chu doesn't have manpower here, shouldn't your Zhong family help out?" ”
Zhong Tianbing frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself that I was standing well on the side, and I didn't get in the way of you, why did you suddenly pull me in. But none of the people present dared him to offend casually, so he could only smile and say, "That's natural, wait for me to talk to my father and let him arrange a few people to come out." ”
With that, Zhong Tianbing walked to the temporary warehouse. At this time, he felt that this head of the family was too faceless, and he had to discuss these trivial things with others.
Actually, it's not his fault. Because of this change in the Zhong family, nearly two hundred people in the entire Zhong Mansion were driven to mine the gold stone ore here, but few of those people were willing to follow the new family master. Whether it is the former Zhong family's guest secretary and worship, or the side disciples and subordinates, it can be said that they have all been forced here.
If it weren't for the sake of survival, how could these people stay here and do this kind of coolie.
And after the new head of the family took the throne, not only did he fail to give them any benefits, but he oppressed them together with outsiders, if his strength was enough, he might have been angry with Zhong Tianbing. However, after the major of cultivation in his hometown was imprisoned, no one in the Zhong family can overpower Zhong Tianbing in cultivation, so he has endured it so far.
Zhong Tianbing hadn't been to this temporary warehouse for a long time, because every time he came here, he would be scolded and abused by Zhong Qingyuan. Normally, he just went to the place where the principals of the major forces distributed the ore at the beginning, but today he was forced to face his relatives helplessly, and his heart was quite complicated.
After half a ring, Zhong Tianbing came to several thatched huts next to the temporary warehouse and called softly: "Dad! ”
"What are you doing here, you rebel?" An angry voice came from inside one of the huts, followed by a series of coughs and kicks.
In a few moments, the doors of several thatched huts opened at the same time, and a large number of people came out. Zhong Tianbing looked at these familiar faces and lowered his head unconsciously.
I saw Zhong Qingyuan, Zhong Tiancheng and his wife, Zhong Tianhua and Zhong Zixuan all here, as well as Aunt Yun and Zhong Yan and others. Next to them are the only few remaining guests and worshippers of the Zhong family, and even Cang Bo, who guards the Tibetan Arsenal, and Fu Bo, who guards the Library, are also impressively listed. It's just that everyone's faces are quite haggard, and they have long lost their former appearance.
And among these people, the thinnest faces are Zhong Qingyuan and Zhong Tiancheng and the three of them, after all, after their cultivation is imprisoned, they are no different from ordinary people, and after a year of continuous labor, their bodies are of course unbearable.
After Zhong Tiancheng and Zhong Tianhua glanced at Zhong Tianbing, they hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhong Qingyuan and comforted: "Dad, don't be angry, take care of your health!" ”
Looking at many rather unkind eyes, Zhong Tianbing couldn't wait to turn around and leave immediately, but when he thought of the strength of the Xu family and others, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Dad, the Chu family lacks manpower to carry ore, please send a few people out to help?" ”
"You, the head of the Zhong family, will still come to us for help? There's something to be done. Zhong Qingyuan sneered when he heard this.
"Dad, isn't this here to protect our family?" Zhong Tianbing hurriedly replied again, and then added, "This is also what Xu Daming meant." ”。
"Humph! His Xu family wants to curry favor with the Chu family, why did he hit our Zhong family again. Zhong Qingyuan suddenly said angrily, "I used to tell Xu Daming that the people of the Zhong family are all mining in it, and there are no idlers." ”
"Yo! Old Man Zhong's temper hasn't changed at all? It seems that after living here for a year, my body has become more and more hardened. Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came, and it was Xu Daming answering.
Everyone looked up and saw that a large group of people in front of them had already arrived here, and none of the leaders of the major forces were left behind, but Zhong Zitao and Ziwen walked cautiously at the end.
Zhong Qingyuan suddenly drank: "Xu Daming, be respectful in front of the old man, even your father Xu Guannan has never spoken to the old man in this tone." ”
"Humph! Old man Zhong hasn't seen the situation clearly, this time is different from the past, since you have become a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a dog! Xu Daming not only did not relent, but became more and more arrogant.
"Presumptuous! How dare you be rude to my father? Zhong Tiancheng was furious.
"What if you're rude? Since Old Man Zhong said that the people of the Zhong family are mining in it, then you can go to the warehouse to carry the ore in person. Remember, this time it's not just about helping Brother Chu carry it, but also about transporting all the ores of our major forces. Xu Daming's request can be described as intensifying.
There is also a reason why he is so arrogant, just because half a month ago, his son Xu Hexiu successfully advanced to the fifth order of Juyuan, and was favored by Feng Hongguang, the deputy sect leader of Luoyun Sect, and was actually accepted as his personal disciple. Therefore, during this time, he was really in a good mood, and he got along with Luo Yun Zonglu and Yu more and more happily.
I wanted to take this opportunity to propose to Cheng Yuannan again, so that he would promise to marry Cheng Mengying to the Xu family. In this way, the Xu family has a close connection with both Luo Yunzong and the City Lord's Mansion, wouldn't the family become more and more stable? Of course, Yu Gong has no choice, who makes him not talented enough to marry Miss Cheng, so let his second son Xu He help him fulfill this wish.
However, after Cheng Yuannan brought his daughter to the imperial capital Qiyun City some time ago, he didn't return for so long, so he didn't find a chance to come to the door to propose. This matter has not been implemented, and Xu Daming's heart is always uneasy.
How do you know that Zhong Qingyuan actually came to touch his moldy head today, so he had to give him a dismount. Anyway, the current Zhong family is not afraid, they are all under the control of themselves and several major forces, and they are not afraid of what waves they can make.
"Xu Daming, do you dare to ask my father to help you carry ore?" Zhong Tianhua couldn't hold his breath anymore and looked at each other angrily.
"Yes and what? Zhong Tianhua, you can't help me, right? Don't say it's you, not even your old man Zhong Qingyuan. Is it not convinced? If you don't accept it, come and try a few tricks with me! Xu Daming said defiantly.
"Xu Daming, you need to know that it is better to be a person or stay on the line? Don't talk about my father, if my eldest brother is still alive, you will not be his opponent. Although Zhong Tiancheng was imprisoned in his cultivation, his momentum did not decrease at all.
"Leave a line? Why should I leave you a line, just with the appearance of the Zhong family now, what else can I take into account? I haven't been able to kill you all, that's because Luo Yunzong is protecting your life. But since you're not comfortable looking, it's okay to give you some color and see. ”
After Xu Daming finished speaking, as if to add another fire, he suddenly said: "By the way, by the way, let me tell you, Zhong Tianming's short-lived ghost, if he is willing to cooperate with Lao Tzu, how can their husband and wife die so aggrieved." ”
"What, you killed my father!" Zhong Zixuan's whole body Yuan Force on the side began to fluctuate, and his eyes were about to split.
"Sure enough!" Zhong Qingyuan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Why? ”
"What else? Back then, I talked to Zhong Tianming that if I was willing to give some of the Zhong family's business channels in Ayalan City to my Xu family, I would help him ascend to the position of head of the family. And, in the future, they will nibble together...... After the other forces, the benefits are divided equally between the two sides. However, not only did he not know how to lift, but he scolded me. ”
