343 The situation in Southwind City is surging, and the decision-making in the council chamber changes
The book is picked up!
This night, on the outskirts of Nanfeng City, a fire inexplicably broke out on Lingcang Mountain, the tongue of fire soared into the air, and the flame waves rolled, almost burning the entire mountain into ashes.
The Weihu Sect, a first-class sect in this Nanfeng City, all the buildings and houses in the sect, along with thousands of disciples up and down, were all engulfed in this fire.
Regarding this fire, the City Lord's Mansion of South Wind City also sent a team of experts to investigate afterwards, and after spending a lot of energy studying the scene of the tragic disaster, it failed to come to any credible conclusions, and in the end it could only be attributed to the fact that the Weihu Sect may have committed some sins, so it touched the "Heavenly Wrath Divine Punishment" and sent a fire from the heavens to destroy it.
Regarding the destruction of the Weihu Sect, the people of Nanfeng City sighed and sighed, and they would always take this matter out as an interesting talking point after dinner.
But that's about it.
From the perspective of the entire South Wind City, the fall of the Weihu Sect is difficult to set off any waves, people's lives are still going on, and the entire city is still operating in an orderly manner according to the established order and pattern.
And in the next half month, although the overall stability in the South Wind City is still stable, there are also a few incidents with hidden unusual meanings worth mentioning.
First of all, the Song family and the Qin family in Nanfeng City officially announced a non-reciprocal alliance, and after the consent of the current patriarch of the Qin family, Qin He, and the signing and publication of the "Cooperation Covenant", the Qin family voluntarily became a vassal family of the Song family.
According to the covenant, in the future, the Qin family only has the right to make suggestions on major issues related to the common interests of the two families, and it is the Song family that has the final decision!
Signing and publishing such an unfair and non-reciprocal covenant is undoubtedly a naked betrayal for the Qin family as a whole!
However, the Qin family seems to have become soft bones up and down, and no one has said a word "no".
On the other hand, the Liang family, one of the four major families, took the initiative to give up and withdraw from a large number of business and competition in the industry!
Nowadays, it can be said that in addition to the management and profit rights of Beijiefang City, which are still firmly in the hands of the Liang family, others such as "clothing trade", "logistics distribution", "mercenary mercenary", "monster hunting reward"... and many other profitable industries, the Liang family withdrew from it and no longer participated in the competition with the industry.
In this way, with the rapid reduction of the family's profits visible to the naked eye, the Liang family clearly began the process of "shrinking power".
Not only that, but now the leadership of the Liang family seems to have suddenly collectively become kind, and every two or three days they will distribute a considerable amount of yuan stones and daily necessities to the poor people in Nanfeng City for free.
This kind of charity and welfare, although it will win a certain reputation and praise, but the price is also quite terrifying.
Although the amount of yuan stone resources that each person gets in their hands is not much, but when it accumulates, the final amount of yuan stone required is almost staggering.
It is estimated that only the forces of the four major families of South Wind City can have such great courage and heritage to be able to do such a thing.
Regarding the Liang family's charity and welfare behavior of "spending money to earn a good reputation", although other large and small families and sects in Nanfeng City boasted and applauded on the surface, but in private, they may still be laughing and ridiculing the leaders of the Liang family in their hearts, and everyone is a fool and idiot!
Acts that harm oneself and benefit others, but not many smart people will do it,
However, the Liang family doesn't seem to care, they still enjoy it and do good deeds.
The last unusual thing is that a large number of relatively small families or sect forces in Southwind City have all been visited and negotiated by Ximen Ao, the super genius representative of North Wind City and the current young master of the North Wolf Army;
However, all the forces remained silent afterwards with tacit understanding about what was being discussed, and they were so secretive that they refused to say it.
Therefore, even if there are some people who want to find out, it is not so easy to get started.
......
Half a month later, on this day,
The four major families, the Liang family, in the solemn and oppressive chamber,
"In the past half a month, in accordance with the agreement of the patriarch, we have greatly reduced the scale of our family power and have taken the initiative to withdraw from a large number of industries, which is not a big loss."
After the elder finished reporting, another middle-aged elder with a face stood up, looked around at the crowd, and said, "In addition, in accordance with the order of Supervisor Qin Fei, we have made a total of eight charitable donations, and we have spent a total of more than 200,000 yuan stones, although this yuan stone is not a big number for my Liang family, but if it continues to be carried out at this frequency for a long time, even my Liang family, I am afraid it will be unbearable." ”
Immediately, the elder asked in a deep voice: "Therefore, the old man wants to ask, should we continue this kind of charitable and welfare behavior?" ”
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged steward's eyes fell on Qin Fei,
At the same time, after hearing these words, many of the elders in the Liang Elder Association were talking in whispers, and their faces showed more or less puzzled and questioning looks.
"Well, Qin Fei, what do you think about this?"
Now the acting patriarch of the Liang family, Liang Zheng, who is known for his wisdom and foresight, kicked the ball in front of Qin Fei.
Bang bang bang ...
"Hmm."
Qin Fei nodded, and his two fingers regularly tapped lightly on the round table made of yellow rosewood, and then said indifferently: "Naturally, we have to continue." ”
Why is that? It is not impossible for those lowly civilians to contribute to our work after receiving our relief, and some of them will privately dislike and complain that we give too little and resent; It is important to know that our Liang family is not a welfare charity after all, so why should we continue to do such a 'thankless' act? The old man is really puzzled, and I hope that the supervisor in the clan can give me some pointers to the old man! ”
The words of this elder in charge undoubtedly confided the voices of a considerable number of the elders of the Liang family present, and they also wanted to ask Qin Fei, the "supervisor of the clan", what is the meaning and purpose of such a "welfare charity" act?
After all, as he said, the Liang family is not a charity or welfare institution, and if it has been losing a lot of profits, it will definitely not be able to hold on for a long time.
"Alas..."Qin Fei thought for a moment, sighed, and muttered:
"This is also a matter of no choice, the Tianfeng Emperor Capital Mufu incident has not been resolved so far, and my Liang family is also in danger of overturning, for the sake of today's plan, I can only give up some interests, shrink and gather forces to guard the core interests, and do these charitable and welfare acts, but also to win and earn some good names as much as possible among the civilian class in South Wind City, so that when I am really involved in joint and several criminal responsibility in the future, the above will also take into account the will of the people, how much can reduce the criminal responsibility, the so-called 'breaking wealth and eliminating disasters', this is almost the truth."
"I see..."
"It's also... There's no way around it..."
"Compared to the safety of my Liang family, those Yuan Stones, after all, are just some things outside the body..."
"I hope God bless my Liang family......"
......
Qin Fei's words, although his tone was a little helpless, were sincere after all, and they were also very reasonable, so as soon as he finished speaking, he aroused the thoughts of all the elders of the Liang family,
Then, the elders all nodded yes, understanding Qin Fei's original meaning.
The puzzled expressions on the faces of the two stewards who spoke earlier disappeared, and they arched their hands and said, "I see, the old man is stupid. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Liang Zheng on the first seat nodded, with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Now, it is the crisis juncture of my Liang family, maybe until the dust settles on the Tianfeng Emperor's capital Mufu incident, this is a long period of time, it will be a very difficult period for our Liang family, for this reason, we must have the consciousness of long-term hardship, and we must establish the determination to fight against difficulties for a long time!" Only in this way can my Liang family survive this catastrophe and move towards a more glorious future! ”
Liang Zheng's words were both a request and an encouragement, and they gave a shot in the arm to all the elders at the top of the Liang family!
Immediately, Liang Zheng looked around with a pair of heroic eyes, and then said in an impassioned tone: "May God bless my Liang family and survive this catastrophe!" ”
All the elders replied in unison:
"May God bless my Liang family and survive this catastrophe!"
"May God bless my Liang family and survive this catastrophe!"
"May God bless my Liang family and survive this catastrophe!"
......
Seeing this scene, Qin Fei in the audience secretly rejoiced in his heart: It seems that the Liang family is all good at ideological work, this call to declaration, even I am enthusiastic, and I am almost infected..."
The Liang family's meeting of elders lasted for three hours, from morning to afternoon.
In addition to the above-mentioned core issue discussion resolution, the Council of Elders has also discussed and deliberated accordingly on the various unusual things that have happened in Southwind City recently.
Unfortunately, because of the limited information available, the Council of Elders did not come up with a decision-making plan.
After the meeting ended, the acting patriarch Liang Zheng took Qin Fei to a secret conference room.
"Qin Fei, according to your request, the intelligence department has collected a considerable amount of secret information and intelligence, and there should be something you want to know in these dossiers."
Pointing to the thick stack of dossiers on the table in front of him, Liang Zheng said.
Qin Fei's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "So, thank you Uncle Liang Zheng!" ”
"Hmm,"
Liang Zheng nodded, then his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Qin Fei, do you suspect that the incident in the Old General's Mansion of the Heavenly Wind Emperor is secretly plotting?" ”
"Doesn't Uncle Liang Zheng have an answer to this question in his heart?" Qin Fei was noncommittal and smiled indifferently.
"Well, having said that." Liang Zheng thought for a moment, then sighed, and said in a slightly helpless tone: "It's just that the struggle between the imperial capital and the court is not something we can interfere in after all." ”
"Today's plan..."Qin Fei's face condensed slightly, then he shook his head, and spit out six words in a deep voice: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." ”
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Liang Zheng muttered and repeated: "Well, yes, I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven..."
