Chapter 971: The City Lord's Family's Internal Affairs

Even if this Zhao Mengshan is just an ordinary desert bandit, but after all, he has survived in the desert for a long time, and he knows many things in the Tutan Desert very clearly, it is for this reason that a lot of the information he provided to Yuntian is quite valuable, especially Zhao Mengshan also has relatives in Star City, and he is actually an inner house steward in the City Lord's Mansion, since he is an inner house steward, of course he knows more things, and Zhao Mengshan is also a relatively good person, every time he enters Star City, he will bring some rare things to honor the inner house steward, and there are many inner house stewards in the Star City City Lord's Mansion, and his relative will inevitably have conflicts with othersAt this time, if the conflict is limited to general entanglements, it can also be said to be very common, and there is nothing to say, but sometimes, when it comes to some core interests, the resentment between each other is not so easy to resolve, and in order to achieve the goal, even some extreme means will be used.

Generally speaking, an inner house steward is mainly in charge of the trivial things in the city lord's mansion, although the star city lord's mansion cannot be compared with the royal family or super power, but it is also a relatively powerful force, basically the earth emperor of the star city, the city lord married a total of five wives, except for one of the red head cards bought from the south, the rest are people from various big forces in the star city area, it can be said that the reason why the star city lord married these women is also to strengthen the control of the star city, it is precisely for this reason that he must also maintain the balance of forces at all times, but he is too partial to which side, and will not suppress which side too much。

But this caused several ladies to disobey each other, and they were very hostile to each other. Of course, this is also the intention of the city lord, if the ladies are united, in case these families are coordinated, it will pose a threat to him. Therefore, on the one hand, it strengthens the ties with various families, and on the other hand, it secretly provokes contradictions among various families, so that he can use his power to firmly control Star City in his own hands.

It is beneficial for the city lord to rule by doing this, but for those ladies, on the one hand, they saw the city lord's compromise on themselves, and on the other hand, because each other's family backgrounds are relatively strong, the four eldest ladies are wary of each other, and they are unwilling to tolerate each other, and they are fighting all day long, making the Star City City Lord's Mansion restless.

Among the five ladies of the city lord, the one who is relatively good is the fifth lady with the red head, because the red-headed card has no backer, so she doesn't dare to target any lady here, but because of this, the fight between those ladies rarely makes her involved, and the fifth lady has become a haven in the battle.

In addition, this lady is a red-headed card, it must be a beautiful flower, and because she is the only one who has no foundational background, it is easier to gain the recognition and trust of the city lord, so that the person who can talk to the city lord the most and know the most secrets of the city lord is this fifth lady.

Now in the City Lord's Mansion, outsiders are most willing to find the gentle-tempered Fifth Lady when it comes to food, and the most popular housekeepers in the City Lord's Mansion are the few stewards under the Fifth Lady.

Because of this reason, Zhao Mengshan's relatives who are housekeepers are very open in Star City and have a wide range of contacts, so they are deeply respected by the fifth lady. However, after being valued by the fifth lady, some more obscure things naturally had to be handed over to him to do, and this time to take over these things, the housekeeper surnamed Zhao like Zhao Mengshan realized that the fifth lady was not simple.

The fifth lady looks like a weak woman, and she is also dignified and virtuous on weekdays, very gentle, it is for this reason that the fifth lady will be deeply loved by the city lord, and many people in the city lord's mansion also have this impression of the fifth lady.

But Steward Zhao, who was entrusted by the fifth lady to deal with some things, went through a few secret things, but this impression disappeared, and when he came into contact with the fifth lady again, he only had boundless fear in his heart.

People say that the more gorgeous the snake, the more venomous, these five ladies are the most gorgeous and poisonous snakes, in the days of doing things for the five ladies, Steward Zhao saw with his own eyes that the five ladies with a few henchmen, secretly killed the woman that the city lord was interested in, and buried it in the quicksand.

A lot of such things were done one by one, and later, as Steward Zhao became more and more involved, the fifth lady also began to ask him to help deal with some "problems".

Of course, Steward Zhao couldn't refuse, he could only deal with some things of the Fifth Lady head-on, but there were some things, with his weak cultivation, how could he do it? It was also when he was at his most difficult time that Zhao Mengshan, who was a sand thief, coincidentally entered the City Lord's Mansion to visit him.

Originally, Zhao Mengshan just communicated with Steward Zhao to keep a back hand for himself, but he thought that this Steward Zhao is now as big as a fight, the two communicated like this, but there were more and more common languages, and later, Steward Zhao felt that Zhao Mengshan was simply a gift from God, and it was precisely because of Zhao Mengshan's appearance that he had the opportunity to properly deal with the tasks assigned to him by the fifth lady.

And in the days that followed, Zhao Mengshan did help him deal with some things, and he did it very well, leaving no major troubles or consequences.

Steward Zhao, who was more and more neat, was more valued by the fifth lady, and even later, the fifth lady secretly met with Zhao Mengshan, and it was such a meeting that the relationship between them underwent some wonderful changes.

Zhao Mengshan has survived in the quicksand desert all year round, so he has developed a tough body, and he has been wielding knives and guns, and he inevitably has an indescribable wildness in his body, which is extremely rare to see in the heavily guarded city lord's mansion.

It is also for this reason that when the fifth lady saw Zhao Mengshan for the first time, her eyes lit up like a brilliant black gem. It was precisely because of this that the fifth lady left Zhao Mengshan behind before the incident, and wanted to ask him some things about the Tutan Desert.

That night, Zhao Mengshan talked about a lot of things and experienced a lot of things, which can be described in one sentence, that is, he is still unfinished.

It is precisely because of what he saw and heard that night that Zhao Mengshan can also talk to the fifth lady directly, and even, at some times, the fifth lady trusts him more.
