Chapter 161: Dialectic (I)
That night, Ye Zi discussed things with Ye Tao and the elders of the clan until late at night, and settled the wolf head and others in an empty side courtyard of the Ye family. 【Please search for updates】
Although Ye Tao and the others were very puzzled by Ye Zi's behavior, they did not say anything to stop them.
The next day, the leaves went out before dawn. At the same time, Ye Tao and the elder of the big clan also went out separately and went in the direction of the Wang family, the Fan family, the Li family, and other directions.
Ye Zi told Lin Xiang and the others the day that he would go back to the inn that night, but he missed the curfew last night and had to explain early in the morning.
Lin Xiang and the others didn't embarrass her, and only asked her to gather outside the city gate early the next morning.
Ye Zi then turned around and went in the direction of Nancheng, the City Lord's Mansion.
It's still early, there are already a lot of pedestrians on the road, and the inns, tea shops, restaurants, and shops on both sides of the street have opened their doors, and they are also lively.
She walked slowly, her ears listening to the chatter of passers-by--
"I heard that the Ye family and the Tong family made an appointment to go to the City Lord's Mansion today, and they want to decide whether the matter of Baiguo is right or wrong."
"Oh, let me tell you, yesterday I saw the Ye family's ancestor take out a large vat of hundred fruits without blinking, that posture ...... Tsk......"
"So, is it the Tong family who wronged the Ye family?"
"Needless to say? The Tong family just coveted other people's mineral veins, so they came up with these dirty methods. ”
"That's right! In previous years, other small families were not openly and secretly cheated by the Tong family? The Tong family can have today's wealth, wealth, and wealth, and this is how it all came! ”
"Tsk, it's shameless~"
In the last sentence, the tone of the person who said it was obviously sour, but it won everyone's unanimous agreement.
Ye Zi turned around and quietly left the discussion circle, feeling quite comfortable. The corners of his mouth were unconsciously hooked.
It seems that this Tong family has really done a lot of bad things! What is this called? Always by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?
Even if the Tong family really lost something, the hundred fruits that the flower sacrifice gave her were really taken from the Tong family, but no one believed the Tong family's words anymore.
This is also retribution!
When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Tao and several clan elders had not yet come. Ye Zi was not in a hurry, there was still more than half an hour before the agreed time, and he thought that there would be a "battle" to be fought later. She turned and went into a breakfast shop.
It's a very ordinary room. The breakfast shop is not large, but it sells a rarity - egg cakes.
Originally, this was the food of the mortal world, and most of the monks in the Sifang City were monks. I don't really like this quiche with various seasonings and chopped green onions.
But the leaves like it.
There weren't many people eating breakfast in the store, so Ye Zi ordered a roll of egg cakes and ordered a bowl of porridge to eat comfortably.
Golden pastry. It is steaming with pickled vegetables and pickles, and served with green onions. When you take a bite, the fragrant and salty taste immediately fills your mouth.
I don't know if Xiaobai likes it or not?
"Shopkeeper, ten more volumes." She moves faster than she thinks.
As soon as she finished breakfast, she caught a glimpse of Tong Jinghe walking towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with a group of people.
There was only half an hour left before the agreed time. But Ye Tao and several clan elders hadn't come over yet, and Ye Zi had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the time was approaching. Ye Tao and the elders of the big clan came over, but they were with them. There is only one Wang Kuncheng.
Ye Zi sighed helplessly and walked quickly to meet him.
Wang Kuncheng quickly looked at the leaves, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Ye Zi smiled at the other party, "Master Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Ye Gaozu." Wang Kuncheng also smiled lightly.
The interaction between the two surprised Ye Tao and several clan elders on the side. Wang Kuncheng is the head of the first family in Sifang City, and his cultivation forces are all standing at the top, and he is also indifferent and calm to these old guys, but how can he be so kind to Ye Zi, a girl?
Could it be that these old guys are not as capable as a little girl who is less than twenty years old?
Immediately, Ye Tao and several clan elders had a touch of unnaturalness on their faces.
Wang Kuncheng's eyes were clear, and he couldn't detect the emotions of Ye Tao and the others, so he immediately smiled and said, "Let's go in." ”
Ye Tao and the others' expressions eased, nodded, and then walked towards the high vermilion lacquer gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
This was the first time that Ye Zi had entered the interior of the City Lord's Mansion. In the past, when I looked at it from the outside, I only felt that the City Lord's Mansion was magnificent and magnificent.
After walking in, I feel that the interior building is extremely spacious.
The courtyard of the first gate alone is half the size of a football field, and it is completely empty, with only a few towering trees planted around it.
However, when he thought of the many guards in the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Zi also felt that it should be so. The place is big enough to be able to stand up, and the school playground is the same reason.
Walk the wrong yard, enter the second gate, enter the eye is a red tile gold pillar hall, high hall hanging a black lacquer plaque - the Dragon Palace.
The guard who led the way said to everyone, "Everyone, please come in, the lord of the city is waiting inside." And he turned and walked away.
Wang Kuncheng looked at Ye Zi and the others indifferently, "Let's go." "It's as if I've long been accustomed to the attitude of the guards.
Ye Zi speculated with evil taste: It seems that Qi Xiao deliberately wants to save Wang Kuncheng's face! Otherwise, Wang Kuncheng was the head of the first family in the dignified Sifang City, and he only received half of the intersection and let him walk in by himself.
When you get to the door, do you say hello or just break in?
If you say hello first, wouldn't it be the same as the subordinate who reported the news, inferior to others in vain, and could bear to humiliate Wang Kuncheng like this?
If you break in directly, the unprovoked one will fall down again and lose his identity. is also the head of the family, and it is inappropriate to trespass on other people's residences!
I didn't expect this Qi Xiao to be quite good at tricks!
However, what Ye Zi thought in his heart didn't seem to be a problem for Wang Kuncheng. The other party looked at your mercy, and I walked into the hall with my head held high.
Ye Zi and Ye Tao and the others followed closely.
Compared with the resplendor of the exterior of the main hall, the interior is much simpler. Several sets of well-made black lacquer coffee tables, chairs and stools with exquisite styles are put together in two rows.
Qi Xiao sat on a tall golden bench in front of him, and he didn't know what material it was, and the patterns and decorations on it were all dragon-shaped.
Hey, how much does this Qi Xiao like dragons? The name of this hall is Dragon, and even the decoration of the chairs is Dragon!
Of course, if Ye Zi knew that the other party even called the dormitory the Qianlong Palace, it was estimated that he would be speechless to the sky.
No more gossip. At this time, Tong Jinghe and the group of people he brought with him were standing behind him, and several middle-aged men who looked more stable and wise sat under him.
It should be the head of the family who is attached to the Tong family, right?
Ye Zi glanced at the few lonely people on his side without a trace, and suddenly felt a little deflated!
It's strange, how could those heads of the family who were attached to the Wang family refuse to come? Did they think that this would not offend the Tong family and Qi Xiao?
Tong Jinghe's eyes were full of pride, he looked at Wang Kuncheng with a smile, and glanced at Ye Zi and the others meaningfully.
"Oh, the Ye family was so active yesterday, why did they come so quietly today?"
Without waiting for Wang Kuncheng and Ye Tao to say anything, Ye Zi had already said to each other with a smile: "We are here to invite the City Lord of Qi to be the master, not to fight, what are we going to do with so many people?" ”
Tong Jinghe stared at Ye Zi's face with displeasure, and sneered: "I remember that yesterday you brought hundreds of Ye family disciples, and attracted hundreds of onlookers!" How? Can't pull this big tiger skin today? ”
Ye Zi hurriedly exclaimed and denied, "The head of the Tong family is wrong with this. I heard that two years ago, the Tong family brought a group of people to the Ye family, and thousands of onlookers were attracted to testify that our Ye family stole the Tong family's hundred fruits. Aren't you, the younger of me, studying as an elder? At the beginning, everyone witnessed the Tong family's accusations against the Ye family, and I wanted to seek justice, so naturally I also asked everyone to witness it back, why not? ”
Tong Jinghe's face immediately darkened, and anger slowly condensed on his face, just about to attack, how could Ye Zi let the other party succeed, and grabbed the conversation and said:
"Furthermore, today is in this Hidden Dragon Palace. The Qi City Lord sits on the top, our Ye family sits on the right, and your Tong family sits on the left. But look at it--"
Ye Zi had an expression of how could you do this, "Ninety percent of the people in this hall are yours, those who know the truth are better to say, and those who don't know the truth still think that you came to the City Lord's Mansion to find a place!" Alas~"
After talking for a long time, she was already thirsty, so she picked up the tea that had been prepared on the side and took a sip. (To be continued.) )>
