Chapter 11: The Three Families
At this moment, in an inconspicuous tavern in Wanshan County, outside the tavern was surrounded by a group of big men with swords, and there were three people sitting in the tavern, these three people were the heads of the three major families in Wanshan County today.

Dressed in a green shirt, with an ordinary appearance, a middle-aged man surnamed Hu Mingquan who is about forty years old, is the head of the Hu family in Wanshan County, and is nicknamed Hu Jiuzhi, born with nine fingers, and can be described as ruthless and vicious.
Slightly older than Hu Jiuzhi is called Zhang Jinjiu, not tall, but with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, especially the protruding belly, which looks very rich, and this tavern is Zhang Jinjiu, good at sneaking whiskers and slapping horses, but after his career, he is very low-key, good at conspiracy, and extremely vicious and leaves no room for it, and because of this, Hu Jiuzhi is the most jealous person is this person.
And the last person is called Zhang Meng, who is only thirty-five years old this year, and will be like the name, rushing and beating, with a rough personality, and it is this Zhang Meng who took the lead in ambushing Zhu Qigui and Zhu Peel.
Hu Jiuzhi didn't see this person in his eyes at all, but Zhang Meng and Zhang Jinjiu also left recently, and they were distant relatives of Wufu, otherwise Hu Jiuzhi's character would have killed Zhang Meng a long time ago.
However, the main reason is that the three forces in Wanshan County contain each other, although Hu Jiuzhi is the strongest, no matter which one is destroyed, it will greatly damage the vitality, and the third one will take advantage.
So Hu Jiuzhi has not made a move, and the three parties have been safe for several years, and small frictions in the dark are inevitable, but the three are relatively restrained.
There have been several gatherings like today, but every time something major happens, and the three families need to decide together, just like after the death of Zhu Papi, in order to deal with the successor Wang Jiuming, a county magistrate who wanted to do something, but was calculated to die.
In fact, Wang Jiuming is too strong, where do you know that the water here is too deep, and the three families in order to keep the family business, have long been in contact with the state capital, many ideas did not wait for action, they were in vain, aggrieved for three years, depressed and unwilling, sick for a long time, and finally died of illness in the county government.
The second magistrate is called Zuo Yunpeng, an old fritter who has been in officialdom for more than ten years, treacherous and greedy, and the three families have suffered a lot because of this person, but the three are deep-rooted and united, and in the end they forced Zuo Yunpeng away.
And this time, the three families sat together again, the reason is very simple, that is, Shen Wanqi, the magistrate of Wanshan County, who had just arrived, didn't know much about Shen Wanqi's three families, but I heard that he was the son of a big official in the capital, and before his death, he gave this eldest young master an errand for the county.
"This day has finally arrived! But this time it's a lot more troublesome!"
It was Hu Jiuzhi, the strongest of the three, who spoke, but Zhang Meng couldn't help but sneer when he heard it: "Bullshit, isn't it just a hairy boy in his twenties, Lao Tzu won't believe it, it's a big deal to just do it!"
Hu Jiuzhi glanced at Zhang Meng, then looked at Zhang Jinjiu, and motioned for Zhang Jinjiu to explain to Zhang Meng, he really had no way to communicate with Zhang Meng, and Zhang Jinjiu groaned slightly, sighed and said: "Zhang Meng, think more about things in trouble, this person can't act rashly!"
"Why? Isn't he just a down-and-out son? If his family still has power in the capital, how can he be sent to this place where birds don't!"
Zhang Jinjiu smiled, but felt that Zhang Meng had some Zhang Jin: "Yes, what you said is very right, this county magistrate Shen Wanqi has no backer, but don't forget, Zhu Qigui died, Wang Jiuming died, and in the end, Zuo Yunpeng was forced away by us again!"
As the old saying goes, the whole world is not the king's land, we can't go too far, if it weren't for our diligence in the state capital, I'm afraid we would have already gathered underground, so we must not do reckless things unless we have to, otherwise we will really anger the court, and we will really have no way to live!"
Zhang Meng was stunned, he really didn't think about it so much, and Hu Jiuzhi sighed leisurely: "Brother Jiu is right! This is also my worry, and what's more troublesome is that I got the news, our county magistrate Shen brought 10,000 catties of grain, and I encountered several waves of mountain bandits on the road, I am not afraid of anything else, I am afraid that those bastards on the mountain will get dizzy, and then attack the county government to grab food, then the sin will be big, it doesn't matter if the mountain bandits die, I'm afraid we will also be implicated at that time!"
"I/, damn it, don't we still have to protect that kid!"
Zhang Jinjiu sighed and said helplessly: "This kid is a son, and there should be no conflict with our interests, of course, if that kid can't stand the hard life here and leaves by himself, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"Trouble! Anyway, there is a big trouble, this matter is different from the past, if it is not handled well, it will inevitably lead to death!"
Hu Jiuzhi obviously said it to Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng pouted: "I understand, you really take me for a fool." ”
"It's good to understand, tonight is the key, 10,000 catties of food, I can't say that there is really no long-sighted, I can't help it!"
Zhang Jinjiu pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Hehe, this is not our chance, in this way, each of our three families will send fifty good hands to set up an ambush around the county government, once we find that the mountain bandits are destroyed, then let this Young Master Shen know that in Wanshan County, it still depends on the three of us!"
It was already late autumn, and there was a faint coolness, Shen Mufeng and several people were busy for most of the night, and they were really tired, it was almost dark when they came, and there was still food in the courtyard, so Shen Mufeng was not in a hurry to check the situation of the entire county government, but began to arrange it.
There is no way, Shen Mufeng is alone, there are only four fast catchers around him, if the number of mountain bandits attacking is large, this county government will definitely not be able to hold it.
But no matter what, Shen Mufeng doesn't plan to retreat, Wanshan County is his base camp and the starting place of his rights, if he can't get through it today, let alone in the future, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Wanshan County, this 10,000 catties of grain is the key, if he can't keep the food, even if he goes to transport food, it is useless, and he will be robbed.
But as long as you survive today, as long as you keep your food, you will take a big step forward in Wanshan County, and the road you will have to take in the future will be much easier.
"Brother Mufeng, I, I'm a little scared!"
"Don't be afraid, what is Brother You's afraid of!"
In fact, Mu Feng wanted to say that his brother was also afraid, but looking at Song Wanqiu's somewhat pale little face, he still comforted him, the first half of the night was busy, digging pits and nails, it was nothing more than preparing more, those mountain bandits did not come, in case they came, let the mountain bandits taste the power of horseshoe pits and triangular nails.
However, seeing the four hunters on serious guard, this made Shen Mufeng's heart feel a little reassured, with four hard bows, and the obstruction of horseshoe pits and nails, as long as there are no more than fifty mountain bandits, there should be no problem in dealing with them.
After waiting for a while, Shen Mufeng suddenly thought of something, hurriedly opened the task page of the system, and found that the side task 1 had been completed, and hurriedly went to the backpack to check the task reward.
Sure enough, there was an extra tube of potion in the backpack, which was the reward life elixir of the task, and the system did not have much explanation for the life potion, so Shen Mufeng didn't know the specific effect, but Shen Mufeng felt that the life elixir should be an elixir that enhanced vitality, or an elixir that enhanced physical fitness or recovery ability.
And now at this time, it is the time when such an ability is needed, so Shen Mufeng pretended to relieve his hands, secretly drank the life elixir, waited for a while, there was no reaction, and there was no discomfort in his body, Shen Mufeng was completely depressed, and he didn't react at all, it was really abnormal.
"Damn, it can't be a fake medicine!" After waiting for a while, there was still no response, and Shen Mufeng walked back to the lobby helplessly.
