Chapter 111: A Guest at the Castle
Long Dan lived in Tajikistan, South Africa, for a while, and saw the normal operation of the copper mine, so he thought about returning home. At this time, the old Mason, who had been following, disagreed. Mason meant to let Long Dan follow him back to the Kingdom of Britain, saying that he wanted Long Dan to live in his castle for a few days, in order to fulfill the intention of his master and apprentice. Long Dan didn't like to brush off Old Mason's enthusiasm, so he ordered Long's No. 1 to sail the boat, and took the boat with Old Mason, and came to the ancient town of Effie in Britain leisurely.
With the advent of Long Dan, Lao Mason held a grand banquet as usual, washing the dust and wind for Long Dan, and also for his own face. Old Mason ordered that all the top management of the family must be present to welcome Long Dan's arrival. Large and small, hundreds of people gathered in the huge Mason Castle did not look crowded. It was announced by Old Mason that Long Dan was the most loyal friend of the Mason family, even if he was not at home, he still warmly received Long Dan, and no one could treat Long Dan slowly, and Old Mason's words became a family rule. Under the introduction of Old Mason, Long Dan met all the high-ranking members of the Mason family and accepted their toasts one by one.
In the midst of this lively banquet, Long Dan suddenly had a whim, activated the magic skill, and used the kung fu of "his heart", and for a while, hundreds of people's ideas came one after another. Most people generally watch the excitement and have an attitude that it is not about themselves. As long as the patriarch sends it, just obey it. However, Long Dan heard a discordant voice. After Long Dan carefully distinguished, he locked on the appearance of those people. He walked over and talked to them under the pretense of a toast.
After more than ten minutes of investigation, Long Dan's "his heart" finally made things clear. It turned out that during the serious illness of Mason Sr., several family leaders intended to snatch the rights of Mason Sr., and wanted to take the opportunity to take down the Mason family in order to control the entire family. However, due to the intervention of Long Dan, Old Mason unexpectedly recovered his health. Old Mason was not a good stubble after he recovered his health, and immediately carried out a vigorous rectification, taking down the rights of a few people who intended to seize power, and demoting them to ordinary high-level positions.
After these people were demoted, they still did not give up and waited for an opportunity to take revenge on Old Mason. Now seeing that Old Mason actually treated an outsider as a guest, and had the idea of being above the Ling family, he was even more angry in his heart, so he discussed taking Long Dan in one fell swoop, together with Old Mason. Depose old Mason as the patriarch and seek to nominate someone from his own side to serve as the patriarch.
After Long Dan understood their plan, he quietly found an opportunity to tell Old Mason what happened. Long Dan said to Old Mason: "After your body recovered, did you depose the management and inheritance rights of several people in the family?" Mason was surprised and said, "Yes, how did the master know?" Long Dan said: "Don't care how I know, do these people still have certain rights in your family?" Old Mason said: "Yes, I am inconvenient to beat them to death with a stick, so I gave them a chance to change their ways, and did not expel them from the family." Long Dan said: "There is a proverb in your country, which is called fighting a snake and not dying, but being bitten by a snake, these people are plotting to take you down, and by the way, they also made me a piece." Old Mason was even more surprised and said: "The master is really amazing, he actually discovered such a secret", Long Dan asked: "Old Mason, what are you going to do with this matter." Old Mason said, "Since the master has probed this secret, how about giving me an idea?" Long Dan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm a good person to the end, and we'll do this and that...... How is it? Long Dan told Old Mason about the plan, and Old Mason nodded hurriedly and said yes.
After dinner, Long Dan was resting in the guest room, and Blair, the old family member of Old Mason, suddenly came to Long Dan, saying that Old Mason's illness had happened again, and his life was dying, Long Dan hurriedly came to Old Mason's residence, and Old Mason was already out of breath. I saw that Old Mason's room was already full of people, and everyone was talking about Old Mason's condition, to the effect that he was still old and useless, and if he said no, he wouldn't work. The old family member Blair asked Long Dan if there was any good way, and Long Dan also shook his head and said no.
At this time, several high-ranking members of the Mason family came out to speak, saying that since the old Mason is no longer good, the family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and another heir needs to be proposed. Since the elder Mason did not have many heirs, only a young son who had always been cowardly. As a result, several executives elected Kate, the youngest son of old Mason, who has always been cowardly, as the heir. Everyone knows that the youngest son of old Mason is a gentleman, lazy and cowardly, and has been held by several high-level controls, playing between the palms, and pushing Kate out at this time is unintentionally a puppet. But these people are in high positions and have contacted a large number of clansmen, and their appeal is not trivial, even if there are people who oppose it, it will be useless.
At the same time as electing Kate as the heir to the throne, several executives also sent people to put Long Dan under house arrest and not be allowed to move around. It was also Kate who was afraid of things, so Long Dan ended up under house arrest, and with the opinions of those executives, Long Dan may be worried about his life.
Long Dan was under house arrest in his room, but his ears were not idle, listening carefully to their arrangements and plans. Just when the Mason family was noisily preparing to change the dynasty, the old Mason, who was already out of breath, woke up. The Mason family was stunned by Old Mason's actions, and thought that Old Mason was a fraudulent corpse, and they were all frightened.
At this time, Blair, the old family of old Mason, said something that everyone couldn't understand: "Everyone listens, the old man is not sick at all, the previous critical illness was deliberate, just to see the attitude of everyone after his death", at this time, old Mason also laughed and said: "I know that you guys don't give up, trying to carve up our family, hum, you want me to die, it's still early." At this time, everyone realized that old Mason and his old family Blair were just acting in a play, the purpose of which was to make the person who betrayed the family jump out by himself.
It turned out that this was the idea that Long Dan gave to Old Mason, which was called cheating death and resurrecting the soul. As long as Old Mason pretends to be dead, the people who betray the family will immediately jump out and can't wait to seize power, so that it is easy to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. Old Mason's pretending to be dead and out of breath was actually because Long Dan had given him acupuncture points, his whole body was cold, his face was dull, and he didn't have a trace of breath, just like a person died, but after a few hours, he would self-solve his acupoints, and he would return to his original state.
The old Mason who woke up, no longer practicing the kindness of a woman at this moment, announced several orders resolutely, and completely expelled several family executives who intended to seize power from the family, and never allowed to step into the family. All those who followed the betrayal of the family were also punished as they deserved. In this way, everyone knows that Old Mason is scheming, and his opinion of Old Mason is deeper. In the following decades, no one intended to rebel, that is, when the old Mason really passed away, the people of the Mason family still did not believe it, and they never dared to act rashly, knowing that the old family Blair really announced that the old Mason was dead, and the Mason family had a lingering heart to handle the old Mason's funeral, which is a later story.
After this incident, the elder Mason felt more and more the importance of his own existence, only if he lived a few more years and waited for his grandson to grow up, could he transfer the power in order, otherwise, the huge family business of the Mason family might fall into the hands of his son. So, I told Long Dan about this worry. Long Dan also felt that Old Mason was sincere to him, so he decided to comb his body for him. Long Dan was in Old Mason's room and asked Old Mason to retreat from others, leaving only his old family Blair. Old Mason was lying on the bed, Long Dan took out dozens of silver needles, inserted all the organs of Lao Mason's body, Long Dan exercised magic skills, and gave the heaven and earth aura in the body to Lao Mason little by little, for an hour or so, Long Dan, who was sweating profusely, stopped exercising, and after Lao Mason stood up, he was full of energy and indescribable strength, feeling like he was more than ten years younger.
Long Dan wiped his sweat and said: "This is just luck, it's not stable, wait for you to do treatment for about a week, your body will be really dozens of years younger", Lao Mason was very moved when he heard it, seeing Long Dan tired and sweating, his heart was also unhappy, but he was thinking about how to repay his younger master.
After a week of exercise treatment, Old Mason's body became more and more hardened, and all kinds of aging phenomena were still gone, even some gray hair was blackened. Only then did Old Mason know that his master was really an unfathomable god, a master who could live the flesh and bones of the dead.
Old Mason's body is more robust, and he is thinking about how to repay Long Dan, and there is no good way to think about it. In terms of ability, Long Dan is much bigger than himself, and he is not as good as Long Dan in terms of family property. What you can have, almost Long Dan can also have, and after a few days, it can make old Mason worried.
Long Dan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Old Mason scratching his ears and cheeks every day, so he asked: "Old Mason, what are you not satisfied with, is it possible that you see that you are young and want to please Xiao?" Old Mason said with a wry smile: "At my age, it will be a joke to ask my daughter-in-law again, I can't think of how to repay the master." Long Dan smiled: "I groomed your body, but I didn't think of anything to draw you, don't think about it", Old Mason said: "Whether the master wants to be the master's business, whether I report it or not is my business", Long Dan saw that Old Mason said this, and he was helpless.
The hard work paid off, and it really made Old Mason come up with a way to repay Long Dan, that is, the treasure trove of the Mason family. When Old Mason proposed to let Long Dan go to the Mason family's treasure house to select hidden treasures, Long Dan was ambiguous, not very reluctant, if he went, he would really have a meaning of retribution. But he couldn't stand Old Mason and insisted on letting Long Dan take a look, so Long Dan reluctantly followed Old Mason to the Mason family's treasure house.
