Sanxuan City, Junyue Building.

Junyue Building is an ordinary restaurant, not very famous, most of the people who come in to consume are mortals, only a very small number are cultivators, and most of them are low-level cultivators.

On the top floor, there is a set of private rooms, these private rooms are specially provided to cultivators, and mortals are not qualified to use them, even if they give more money, it will not help.

In the innermost private room, Chen Shengshan, the head of the Chen family, and Zhao Tianming, the head of the Zhao family, sat facing each other, the table was placed with sumptuous dishes, the utensils were all gold and silver, and the sunlight outside the window shone in, and the golden light and silver light were connected, shining and brilliant.

Chen Shengshan put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "This Qingfeng Town incident can cover up the past, the deacon has paid a lot of costs, and the division needs to be changed, after all, he is our backstage, and he can't let him suffer, otherwise, it will do us all kinds of harm and no benefit." ”

Zhao Tianming nodded heavily and said, "I listen to you." ”

Zhao Tianming was obedient to Chen Shengshan. Because Chen Shengshan's cultivation is higher than his, his family power is stronger than his family power. Moreover, the Zhao family was able to have today's achievements, the Chen family made a lot of efforts and helped a lot, and even the Zhao family was able to cooperate with Deacon Xia, which was also the result of Chen Shengshan's efforts.

"Although we were lucky enough to avoid this incident, we are sure that there will be no accidents next time, and you need to be prepared at all times. Chen Shengshan drank the wine that Zhao Tianming poured for him in one gulp, and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Tianming said seriously: "Brother Shengshan, please rest assured, I am always ready, once the East Window incident happens, I will take the initiative to stand up and take all the responsibilities, and I will not bring you any trouble!

Hearing Zhao Tianming say this, Chen Shengshan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, if the East Window incident happens, if you can take all the responsibilities alone, the deacon and I will ensure that your Zhao family is safe and sound!"

Zhao Tianming said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Brother Shengshan!"

Chen Shengshan reached into his arms, took out a neatly folded white paper, gently put it on the table, pushed it in front of Zhao Tianming, and said: "It is recorded that some of the precious treasures that appeared on the auction, these precious treasures are all prepared for those [big shots], the deacon warns us that we must not participate in the competition, if we violate it, we will bear the consequences." ”

Zhao Tianming was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the paper, opened it carefully, and quickly browsed it.

"I'll be careful, I won't spoil the deacon's big business. Zhao Tianming read the content on the paper and replied to Chen Shengshan.

Chen Shengshan said: "That's the best. Burn it. ”

When Zhao Tianming heard this, he pinched the paper in his hand, and in the next second, white smoke came out of his hand, and when he opened his palm, the paper had disappeared, leaving only a small handful of ashes.

"Alright. I have explained everything that should be explained. Let's go. Chen Shengshan said, twisted his neck, stood up, and walked away from the private room.

Zhao Tianming hurriedly got up, half a step behind and followed behind Chen Shengshan.

Walking out of the private room, Chen Shengshan walked to the left, and Zhao Tianming walked to the right, as if they didn't know each other, and silently left Junyue Building.

......

Chen Shengshan, under the protection of a group of guards, returned to Chen's mansion and went straight into the study.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door, the voice was very soft and regular, Chen Shengshan immediately knew who was coming, and said, "Yiliang, is it? Come in!"

The door of the study opened, and an old man with white hair walked in, he put his hands in front of him, and saluted Chen Shengshan with great respect.

This white-haired old man is Chen Yiliang, the chief housekeeper of the Chen family.

After Chen Shengshan sat on the position of the head of the family, he casually used an excuse to oust the former chief housekeeper, and then promoted Chen Yiliang, who had served him since childhood and was absolutely loyal to him, to the position of the chief housekeeper.

Chen Yiliang did his best to assist Chen Shengshan and did everything wholeheartedly, Chen Shengshan was very satisfied with this, and he also paid more and more attention to Chen Yiliang, and gradually handed over more and more family affairs to him to deal with.

Chen Shengshan sat on the wide Taishi chair, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the big housekeeper, and said with a smile: "Yiliang, I just came back and looked for me, is there anything important?"

Chen Yiliang hurriedly said: "Master of the family, the old slave does have an important matter, and I want to tell you!"

Chen Shengshan raised his eyebrows, his sitting posture gradually became normal, and said, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Chen Yiliang said: "Tell the head of the family, the ghost in the house has been found. ”

Chen Shengshan was taken aback, stood up, pressed his hands on the desk, and said, "Really?"

Chen Yiliang said: "Really. ”

Chen Shengshan turned out of the desk and said, "Take me to see him, I will interrogate him personally!"

Chen Yiliang hurriedly led the way in front and helped Chen Shengshan open the door.

Chen Shengshan followed Chen Yiliang into the dungeon in the mansion, which held many people, men, women and children, everything.

When the prisoners saw Chen Shengshan and Chen Yiliang, they hurriedly leaned on the top of the iron gate, stretched out their hands and grabbed the two of them, shouting all kinds of words in their mouths.

Chen Shengshan and Chen Yiliang naturally ignored it and walked straight into the deepest part of the dungeon.

In the deepest part of the dungeon, it is dark all year round, and the light source is the candles burning in the corridors and walls.

The keeper seemed to know that the head of the house and the chief butler would be there at any moment, dressed in armor and holding a spear, standing as straight as a javelin.

When Chen Shengshan and Chen Yiliang arrived, the caretaker hurriedly shouted, "Master of the family!"

Chen Yiliang nodded.

Chen Shengshan looked inside the cell, and when he saw the people inside, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and he couldn't help shouting: "Chen Dongdong?!"

Chen Dongdong, one of Chen Shengshan's most trusted people, has a similar level of trust as Chen Yiliang. Because he trusted Chen Dongdong very much, he brought him to the account room and let him manage all the family's financial affairs!

Chen Yiliang said: "The head of the family, it was Chen Dongdong who leaked the news to the patrol angels. ”

Chen Shengshan turned his head suddenly, staring at Chen Yiliang, his eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and his body exuded a cold aura, and he said coldly: "Are you sure?!"

Chen Yiliang's heart shook wildly, and he finally realized the importance of Chen Dongdong to Chen Shengshan, however, the fact that Chen Dongdong betrayed the family was ironclad, even if he knew that it would make Chen Shengshan angry, he still nodded stubbornly and said, "Sure, family master!"

Chen Shengshan slapped his palm on the cell door, and there was a loud bang, and the entire dungeon shook slightly, and the candles on the walls of the corridor were almost extinguished, and the guards almost collapsed on the ground.

"Chen Dongdong, please turn around!" Chen Shengshan said coldly.

Chen Dongdong, who had been facing the wall, slowly turned around and faced Chen Shengshan.

Chen Shengshan carefully observed and sensed Chen Dongdong, and found no internal injuries or external injuries, indicating that he was not wronged, and said, "Why did you betray the family?"

Compared with Chen Shengshan's anger and hideousness, Chen Dongdong seemed extremely calm, and said unhurriedly: "Because I don't want to look at the family, the destruction is in your hands." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Shengshan was stunned.

Chen Dongdong said: "Family Master, don't you understand? Deacon Xia is just using our Chen family as a tool. We're just tools that we can throw away if necessary. ”

Chen Shengshan understood what Chen Dongdong meant, and said: "My cooperation with Deacon Xia is dangerous, but it can quickly improve the strength of the family and expand the influence of the family!

Chen Dongdong said: "I know that the head of the family has done all this for the sake of the family. However, your method is not right, I know that it is difficult for me to persuade the master of the family to listen to me, so I will not talk nonsense, now, I just want to ask the master of the family, which is greater than your achievements over the years, or what Youdao has achieved now?"

Chen Shengshan was silent for three seconds, and said slowly: "There is a way. ”

Indeed it is.

Chen Youdao became a disciple of the inner sect of the Luoyun Sect, and apprenticed to the Elder Wudao, and his future achievements can already be expected.

Those big families who had been working against the Chen family, although they would not apologize to the Chen family after learning the news, they had already reined in, and some things about the Chen family were no longer so blatant.

Chen Shengshan said: "Do you mean that I want to focus my family on cultivating young people?"

Chen Dongdong nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Chen Shengshan smiled, his smile was a little bitter, and said: "I originally wanted to torture you, think about it, or forget it, I want to know now, you betrayed the family, is there anyone behind the scenes?"

Chen Dongdong said: "No. The angel patrols came to me because they knew what I really thought. ”

A fine light flashed in Chen Shengshan's eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he nodded, and turned to leave.

Chen Yiliang cautiously followed behind.

Outside the dungeon, Chen Shengshan said: "Break Dongdong's hands and feet and bring them to my study." ”

Chen Yiliang's pupils shrank into a needle, and he hurriedly asked, "Does cultivation need to be abolished?"

Chen Shengshan shook his head and said, "If the cultivation is abolished, it won't taste good." ”

Although Chen Yiliang knew that Chen Shengshan had the habit of eating people, no matter how many times he heard him say this, he still had a creepy feeling.

Chen Yiliang turned around and entered the dungeon.

Chen Shengshan returned to the study and ordered one of the guards guarding outside to call Chen Mingyue over.

Chen Mingyue is Chen Dongdong's daughter, eighteen years old this year, beautiful and extraordinary, tall, convex and backward, however, she has a cold temperament, and her whole body exudes an aura that no one can approach, so until now, no one dares to attack her.

Chen Mingyue came to the study one step ahead of Chen Yiliang, she didn't knock on the door, she opened the door directly, and closed the door with her backhand.

"The head of the house. Chen Mingyue said, her tone was emotionless, cold, and there was no look in her eyes.

Chen Shengshan sat on the Taishi chair, beckoned to her, and said, "Come here!"

Chen Mingyue approached Chen Shengshan, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, and she fell into his arms.

The two fought fiercely, and their breathing gradually became heavy and muddy.
