"Mother, what are you doing, what are you pinch me for? I'm just ,,,"

Zhu Lingyu was in pain and shouted loudly. But she stopped abruptly in the middle of her sentence, as she felt a stern gaze staring at her from the throne in front of her.

She didn't have to look to know who the owner of that gaze was, and who else was sitting on the throne in front of her.

Zhu Changluo's face was full of anger, and his eyes were full of disappointment. Typical mourning is indisputable, hating iron does not become steel,

He didn't expect his daughters to be as good as his eldest daughter Qingyan, but at least she should be sensible, a little bit concerned about family affairs, and don't just know how to eat, drink, and enjoy happiness all day long.

Secretly sighed in his heart, Zhu Changluo didn't bother to say anything, withdrew his gaze to look at Zhu Lingyu, looked at the attendees, and said in a heavy tone, "What happened last night, I think everyone should have heard about it." ”

No one spoke up, but everyone's expressions were solemn, obviously knowing about the fire that happened last night.

There are others, such as Zhu Lingyu, she doesn't know what happened last night. She slept after eating last night, and slept very deeply and soundly, and slept until dawn, who would know what happened last night.

No, she was busy whispering to her mother what happened last night, and her mother felt too ashamed to ignore her as if she hadn't heard her.

Above the main seat, Zhu Changluo's voice continued to sound, "This time, my Zhu family can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and thousands of acres of spiritual rice fields were turned into ashes and burned to the ground. Not only was it impossible to provide spiritual rice to the various forces that had cooperated with it in the past, but even the tribute rice to the royal family became a problem. The family is about to usher in a great test of life and death, and I hope you can work together to tide over this difficulty. ”

"Swear to live and die with your family. ”

The crowd below chanted in unison, indicating their attitude.

"Good. Zhu Changluo nodded, he naturally didn't fully believe that the people below would really live and die with the family, what he wanted was that determination and momentum. He also believes that most people will do their best, because their interests are closely related to the rise and fall of the Zhu family.

Zhu Changluo looked at a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who was relatively high in the crowd and ordered, "Steward Zhou, you go and be responsible for contacting the forces that had traded Lingmi in the past, discuss relevant matters with them, and make it clear that the Zhu family is willing to compensate them for their losses this time." ”

The middle-aged name of Tsing Yi is Zhou Bangyu, although he is not a member of the Zhu family, but he is deeply trusted by Zhu Changluo, and has a lot of power and status in the Zhu family.

"Yes, Master. Steward Zhou hurriedly stepped out and replied respectfully.

Zhu Changluo nodded, and then looked at a middle-aged man at the front who looked a little similar to him, "Second brother, make a detailed report of the family's financial situation as soon as possible, and make corresponding preparations in advance." ”

Needless to say, this middle-aged man is naturally Zhu Changfeng, the only brother among Zhu Changluo's peers.

As the saying goes, when fighting brothers, fathers and sons go into battle, how important is property, it is related to the survival of a family's power, it is natural to find the most trusted person to manage, who can be more trustworthy than his own brother!

"Although the eldest brother can rest assured, the family has accumulated some over the years, and it should not be a problem to get through this difficulty. Zhu Changfeng said.

Zhu Changluo bowed slightly, and then looked at his eldest daughter Qingyan, as if to ask her if she had anything else to say.

Qing Yan slowly stood up, her sharp eyes swept around everyone, and said, "During this period, the family will be more difficult, and people are excited, I hope you can appease your subordinates, don't mess with yourself, and be taken advantage of by others to rob while the fire is hot." ”

"Also, it is not a fluke that my Zhu family can have today, it is my father who led everyone to work hard little by little. You have to believe in yourself, and you have more confidence in the Zhu family, the Zhu family will definitely be able to survive this crisis. ”

"Yes, follow the instructions of the eldest lady. ”

Everyone below said in unison, full of hope and energy.

Originally, because the Zhu family suddenly suffered such a big change, many of them became a little uneasy, like frightened birds.

After listening to Zhu Qingyan's words, they seemed to have a backbone, and they were no longer so hesitant and at a loss for the difficulties they would face next.

This is the prestige and cohesion that Zhu Qingyan, the eldest lady of the Zhu family, has established in the Zhu family. Her voice wasn't very impassioned, and her words weren't very uplifting. But as soon as she stood up, it was like giving everyone a reassurance, giving people the courage and direction to fight.

Subsequently, the people in charge of various parts of the family reported some information one after another, discussed some matters, and the meeting was declared to be over. Naturally, others are doing their own jobs and doing what they have to do.

Zhu Changluo and Zhu Qingyan, the father and daughter, need to go back and take a rest, after all, they were busy all night last night, and they haven't taken a drop of water until now, and they haven't closed their eyes. Even if it's a machine, you have to take a breath.

Tianhe County, Lu family.

In the quiet garden pavilion, Lu Hongyuan, the eldest son of the Lu family, was accompanying a handsome man in a gorgeous costume to enjoy flowers and tea, talking and laughing.

"The Lu family is worthy of being a Wang family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the scenery in this house is good, and it looks good. The handsome young man took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup and said with a smile.

Although he was saying words of praise, he carried a sense of condescending scrutiny.

As the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Hongyuan didn't care about this at all, and still greeted him with a smile, "Li Gongzi praised it in seconds, how can the poor courtyard be compared with those mansions in the royal capital." ”

Not to mention him Lu Hongyuan, even if his father, or even the city lord of Tianhe County is here, no one dares to disobey the young man in front of him.

There is no way, the origin of the family is too big, his name is Li Tianxing, and not many people may know this name. But the name of his father Li Sifan is definitely unknown to everyone in the entire Apocalypse Kingdom, and no one has ever heard of it as the head of the civil officials of the Apocalypse Kingdom today, Prime Minister Li Sifan.

With such a big background, how could he be compared to the local family power of a mere Tianhe county.

"By the way, what's going on over there?" asked the handsome young man Li Tianxing casually while admiring the delicacy around the pavilion.

Lu Hongyuan replied with a smile, "It's a success, everything is going according to the design of the childe." Childe's methods are admirable, if he doesn't make a move, he will directly make the Zhu family fall into a place of no return. ”
