Zhang Yuan shook his head, sobered up from his memories, and looked at the document in front of him again.

That day in the Peace Forest, after Zhang Yuan and Wei Shuo chatted about the monopoly mutated sweet potato, they also chatted for a while about the establishment of the Ningqiu City Auction House.

The document in front of Zhang Yuan's eyes is actually composed of two parts of the contract.

The first contract is naturally about the monopoly of mutated sweet potatoes, and the above share ratio is fifty-fifty, which was proposed by Wei Shuo, and the one percent of the profit deducted was reserved for Chu Chen or Jiang Xin to counteroffer.

The second contract is a lease contract, which states in detail that the business alliance wants to lease a piece of land with an area of more than 800 square meters at the exit of the pedestrian street to establish an auction house in Ningqiu City.

Wei Shuo's original intention was to buy it directly, but Chu Chen had mentioned it once before, the land in Ningqiu City was only rented and not sold, so this time, Wei Shuo didn't want to bother to test Chu Chen's bottom line.

The reason why Zhang Yuan stared at this document and thought about it for so long was because he still considered that Chu Chen was not in the base now.

Regardless of whether Jiang Xin, the current temporary city lord of Ningqiu City, agrees to these two contracts, Zhang Yuan is worried about Chu Chen's reaction after he returns.

No matter what you say, Jiang Xin, He Rong, and Liu Lin are all Chu Chen's 'own people', while Zhang Yuan is always an 'outsider', they have been following Chu Chen for so long, and they can make some harmless decisions without authorization, but Zhang Yuan can't, he must carefully consider every decision.

What's more, these two contracts are not a trivial matter!

"Do, do, do."

After thinking about it for a long time, there was a knock at the door.

Zhang Yuan was awakened by the knock on the door, and after being stunned, he shouted, "It's Fenghua, right?" Come on in. ”

The door was pushed open, and a man in his mid-twenties walked in.

This person's name is Zhang Fenghua, and he is Zhang Yuan's nephew.

Because Zhang Fenghua also changed his job to become an earth magician, he was brought over by Zhang Yuan and temporarily let him serve as his secretary, preparing to train him to be his future successor.

After Zhang Fenghua walked into the office, he said solemnly to Zhang Yuan: "Uncle, just now at the gate of the North City, the newly appointed temporary city lord encountered an assassination operation!" ”

"What!?"

Zhang Yuan was shocked and asked excitedly: "Jiang Xin, no, how is she with the city lord?" Is the injury serious? ”

Zhang Fenghua waved his hand and persuaded Zhang Yuan: "Uncle, don't get excited, if something really happens, how can I report to you so calmly?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Yuan is excited, even if he changes to Wei Shuo, I'm afraid he doesn't know Jiang Xin's career.

But Zhang Yuan had been in Ningqiu City for some days, and he knew very well that Jiang Xin was just a junior priest and did not have much combat power at all.

Hearing Zhang Fenghua's persuasion, Zhang Yuan understood that Jiang Xin should be fine: "What's going on?" Make it clear! ”

Zhang Fenghua nodded and continued: "Just now, a group of survivors came to the north gate of the base. After all, these people are the first batch of survivors who came to take refuge since the establishment of Ningqiu City, so He Rong, the leader of the city guards, asked the city lord to go to the north gate in person, but he didn't want to, this was actually a group of professionals who came to assassinate the city lord! ”

"And then? How is the castle lord? Has anyone been hurt? Has anyone been killed? ”

Hearing Zhang Yuan's question, Zhang Fenghua's eyebrows twisted into the word 'Sichuan', and reported to Zhang Yuan: "My subordinates inquired about the situation, saying that the woman next to the city lord is a super master!" You can control both ice and fire magic elements at the same time, and with a single spell, you can kill several assassins! As for the casualties, the gang was killed, the city guard also killed two, and several others were wounded. ”

Zhang Yuan exhaled lightly and sighed again and again: "That's good!" That's good! As long as the castle lord doesn't have an accident, the problem won't be too big! ”

Zhang Fenghua nodded in agreement, but the word 'Chuan' between his eyebrows has not been dispersed, and he seems to be a little speechless.

After all, it was his own nephew, Zhang Yuan quickly noticed Zhang Fenghua's abnormality, and asked him: "Fenghua, is there anything abnormal?" Do you need to hide it from me? ”

Zhang Fenghua was helpless, so he had to say what he was hiding in his heart: "Uncle, do you remember? When you brought three hundred earth magicians to Ningqiu City, I was sent to Beixian by the Lord of the Wei Alliance to buy radishes there. ”

Nodding, Zhang Yuan asked curiously: "This matter, Lord Wei mentioned it to me, after all, the situation in Ningqiu City was not clear at that time, so I didn't dare to bring you over, what's wrong?" Is this incident related to the assassination of the city lord today? ”

Zhang Fenghua frowned, nodded, and said, "Well, it's related!" When I was buying mutant radishes in Beixian County, the military sent a representative, saying that it could provide a stable supply of goods for a long time, and hoped that the price given by our business alliance could be slightly raised! ”

Waving his hand at Zhang Yuan and signaling him not to worry, Zhang Fenghua continued: "By the side of the military representative, there are several soldiers who have been following to protect him!" One of them was a soldier, among the Assassins today! ”

"What!"

Zhang Yuan was shocked, got up suddenly, and asked Zhang Fenghua, "Are you sure?" This kind of thing is not a joke! ”

Zhang Fenghua hesitated for a moment, and then said with great certainty: "I'm sure!" It's just that should I tell Chu Chen about this matter? If Chu Chen is an enemy of Bei County, then it will not be suitable for us to continue to stay in Ningqiu City! ”

"Can this be hidden?"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and scolded angrily: "You are also ignorant, if Chu Chen knew, we knew the origin of these people, but we didn't tell him, think about Nanyang City, and then think about what he would do?" ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuan got up and walked quickly to the door, ready to tell Jiang Xin about it.

Zhang Fenghua immediately stopped Zhang Yuan and persuaded Zhang Yuan: "Uncle, don't worry, even if you tell them, you won't be in a hurry for a while!" ”

After stopping Zhang Yuan, Zhang Fenghua continued: "Uncle, think about it, I have only met that person once, there is no evidence at all, although the situation is turbulent now, but Beixian is always Beixian, once this Ningqiu City and Beixian are entangled, everyone else is nothing, and our uncle and nephew are the victims!" ”

Zhang Yuan listened, and then thought of what Chu Chen would do after this matter was exposed, and how Ningqiu City would develop, and he was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Fenghua is right, if the business alliance invests so much, but the branch alliance in Ningqiu City cannot develop, whether it is Zhang Yuan's responsibility or not, at least in the short term, Wei Shuo will not let him serve as the leader of the branch alliance again!

Sighing, Zhang Yuan asked Zhang Fenghua: "But Fenghua, have you thought about it?" If Chu Chen finds out the real situation, his anger is not something we can afford! ”

Zhang Fenghua shook his head and explained to Zhang Yuan: "Uncle, in fact, I didn't want to tell you, after the city guards buried the bodies of those assassins, no one would know at all, I saw that person in Beixian, but now, it's just you and I know about it, as long as we don't say it, no one will know!" ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned and sighed: "What about the people who went to Beixian with you last time?" Is there anyone who has also come to Ningqiu City to develop? ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Fenghua replied with great certainty: "No! At that time, I was an earth magician, and the others either stayed in Beixian or returned to the Peace Forest. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded when he heard this, and slowly walked around the office a few times, sighing frequently.

In the end, Zhang Yuan was still ruthless, and prudently explained to Zhang Fenghua: "Fenghua, this matter is related to the future of our uncle and nephew, you must remember, God knows, you know and I know!" You must not let a third person know about this! ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuan had made up his mind, Zhang Fenghua seemed a lot more relaxed: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely guard this matter, even if I enter the coffin, I won't say it!" ”

After Zhang Yuan nodded, he sighed with a sad face: "Alas, if you don't say it and keep this secret alone, it will be good!" ”

Zhang Fenghua was speechless for a while when he heard this: Who said it just now? Fenghua, do you even need to hide it from me?
