Chapter 4 The Xiao Family

The Xiao family, one of the three major families in Gaochuan City, is as famous as the Gao family and the Wen family, but it is the most vulnerable existence among the three.

In Gaochuan City, in addition to the three major families, the strongest is the City Lord's Mansion.

As the force that manages the entire city, the City Lord's Mansion is naturally very powerful.

In addition to the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families, there are also some chambers of commerce, underworld forces, and second-tier families, which should not be underestimated.

For now, the above is the general situation of Gaochuan City that Yu Zhang understands, of course, this is just listening to the old man's words, and the specific secrets have to be discovered by Yu Zhang.

The Xiao family, worthy of being one of the three major families in Gaochuan City, has a wide territory, a luxurious mansion, and a rigorous and neat guard, which makes Yu Zhang can't help but admire:

"Your Xiao family looks pretty good!"

When the old man heard this, he was appreciated by the distinguished guests, and he also smiled, and replied: "The foil of the Void Heavenly Palace has only developed so far, and it is not the top, but it has barely stabilized its position. ”

The Xiao family used to be just a third-rate family, and when they carried out the "Human Station Training Plan" in the Void Heaven Palace, they were lucky to be selected.

The "Human Station Training Plan" is a plan proposed and implemented by the hall master as early as a hundred years ago, with the purpose of cultivating some henchmen in the human world, so as to prepare for various situations that may occur in the future.

said that it was to cultivate a force to come out, but the Void Heaven Temple did not go too much to help, only occasionally sent a book of cheats and exercises, and occasionally gave me some guidance.

Even if it was just like this, a third-rate force like the Xiao family had become one of the three major families in Gaochuan City in just two generations, and in addition to the help of the Void Heaven Palace, their own potential was also worthy of affirmation, which was also one of the reasons why the Void Heaven Temple chose them.

However, the Xiao family didn't know much about the Void Heaven Palace, and the Void Heaven Hall that the Xiao family had come into contact with might just be a lower-level person who was making a message, and the entire Void Heaven Hall was still like a secret in the dark to them, and it was impossible to find out.

In the past hundred years, the Void Heaven Temple has not asked for anything other than some information.

And today, for the first time, a guest was sent over, and this distinguished guest, whose identity is not low, is the identity of the "young master".

"Since it is a young master, it must be the most precious existence except for the hall master and the hall master's wife. ”

Thinking so, the Xiao family began to prepare carefully in all aspects. Including the guards sent to greet them, they were also part of the welcome plan.

After Yu Zhang arrived at Xiao's house, the first thing he did was to participate in the dust washing banquet.

The long table sat dozens of people in high positions in the Xiao family in order of identity.

Then the other guards were sitting neatly at the dozen or so round tables next to them, looking quite well-behaved.

This dust-washing banquet must have been carefully arranged, and I want to use this pattern to express the spirit of the Xiao family.

"However, there seemed to be a lack of women and children at the dinner table. ”

Yu Chang thought about it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a few children peeking at the door.

The children's eyes lit up, staring at the delicacies on the table, and their saliva was about to flow.

At the same time, the old man who greeted Yu Zhang before also saw the gaffe of this group of children, and hurried over to drive them away.

"It's okay, let them all in. Yu Zhang shouted.

When the old man heard that it was a noble guest's request, he did not dare to disobey it, and brought the group of children in.

Yu Zhang found that it was not only the children peeking at the door, but also a group of children of different ages behind them.

In the end, there was a stupid big man who was even about the same age as Yu Zhang, but he stood at the end of the line with his head and looked like he had some problems with his IQ.

"Let's get a table for them, too. Yu Zhang said.

"But they are still young and ignorant, and they inevitably don't understand some etiquette, I'm afraid it will ruin the nature of the young master. The old man was a little embarrassed and replied.

Yu Zhang smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking, "Do I seem to be so strict?"

Then he said: "It is precisely when there are children that it is lively, and the banquet is full of vitality!"

In this way, the originally lifeless and regular dinner party has become a little more vigorous and energetic because of the participation of this group of children.

In fact, there is another reason why Yu Zhang has to join that group of children.

Just after a quick glance, he found that there seemed to be something in the stupid big child's body, and that thing was cold and dark, and it should not be a good thing.

Yu Zhang left him at the dinner to continue to observe.

After the dinner, Yu Zhang found the old man and asked, "What happened to the eldest child at the dinner just now?"

The old man was startled at first, and then pulled Yu Chang to a remote corner, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said: "It is worthy of being an adult from the Void Heaven Palace, and his eyesight is different." That kid, alas, was miserable. ”

The old man paused, and then said: "He was originally the only son of the fourth lady, and he was talented at the beginning, and his strength grew extremely fast. But when he was ten years old, he fell seriously ill, and he suddenly became stupid, not only did his spiritual cultivation come to naught, but his spiritual wisdom also regressed to the infant stage. ”

Yu Zhang guessed that this might have something to do with what was inside him.

"Can the fourth lady let me see me?"

When the old man heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, his voice was lowered, and he said, "Young master, this may be a little inconvenient, the fourth lady is not very convenient to meet guests now..."

Seeing that the old man was embarrassed, Yu Zhang did not force him, and sent him away, while he wandered in the yard.

Yu Zhang didn't wander around aimlessly, he found the group of children, thinking that the children were always open-mouthed, maybe they could ask something.

He crouched down to the same height as the children, and asked, "Do you know where the fourth lady is?"

There was a child who was very outgoing and hurriedly replied: "The fourth lady is already crazy, and she will arrest people when she sees them, but it is scary, do you dare to go to her?"

Yu Zhang was taken aback and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I've been crazy for several years, and from the time this stupid big guy became stupid, he suddenly went crazy. He pointed to the tiger-headed child on the side, who was the son of the fourth lady.

Yu Chang glanced at him, he still smirked and listened to everyone's speech, it felt like although he heard it clearly, but he couldn't understand it.

In the end, Yu Zhang still asked the children to point out to him the residence of the fourth lady.

It was a somewhat humble log cabin, in a remote corner of the house, with little to no contact. Such a house arrest can be regarded as a bit cruel.

When the people in the house heard footsteps outside the house, they shouted out like crazy: "Get out! Get out!"

However, Yu Zhang's face was expressionless and unmoved. He approached the door and said inside, "Fourth lady, I can save your son." ”

There was a moment of silence in the inner room, and then the fourth lady leaned her head against the window next to her, and cried out anxiously, "Save him, save him!"

Yu Zhang moved to the window and found that the faces of the four ladies were indeed a little terrifying.

The messy hair that hasn't been taken care of for a long time, the rouge and gouache on the face are messy, the hands are at the window, the nails are long and pointed, I don't know how long I haven't cut them.

"Fourth Madame, do you know what the cause of your son's illness is?" Yu Zhang tried to slow down his speech as much as possible, so that the delirious Fourth Madam could not hear clearly.

"It must be the eldest lady's slut, jealous of my son's talent, who may snatch his son's succession in the future, poisoned my son's ten-year-old ceremony, cursed me, and harmed my son!" the fourth lady said gritting her teeth, her nails were still scraping against the wooden wall, and her tone was extremely harsh and ugly.

Yu Zhang pursed his lips, obviously disgusted by the ugly squeak.

But things are as he expected, and it is very likely that this incident is a common harem intrigue incident.

Yu Zhang read this kind of folk novel in the Library of the Void Heaven Palace, to say the least, there are two or three of them.

Speaking of which, I also read these books for the purpose of studying human nature, but when I looked at myself, I was angry, and I felt that I must not let the bad guys succeed.

These four ladies are now in such an embarrassed manner, presumably because they are strong for their son, and they are making a lot of noise, so they are considered to be neurotic, suppressed to this desolate little corner, and finally really suffocated into a madman.

Yu Zhangyan sighed secretly, the fourth lady couldn't be saved, and he was not a spiritual magician who was proficient in medical skills, but his son, the fourth son, still had a way to save it.
