Chapter 585: Not a single gold coin can be missing
That night, everyone stayed at Sun's house, and Sun Changqing couldn't figure out the purpose of Lin Haifeng's trip for a while, so he called everyone in the family over, and Chu Yan was among them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The study is not big, and there are descendants of the Sun family sitting in it, I saw Sun Changqing's expression solemn, glanced at a few people, and said: "I called you here today to hear your opinions, what is the purpose of Lin Shouzuo leading the heads of the five major families to our Sun family?"
"Grandpa, do you still need to ask?" It was Sun Fei who spoke, this person was Sun Tai's only son, and he usually hated Sun Yuan to the core, and threatened to kill him several times.
"It must be the first seat and the five family heads, afraid that our Sun family will surpass them one day, so they came to show us goodwill. ”
"Poof......
Chu Yan squirted out a sip of tea directly, and said in his heart that this guy was too weird.
This voice was extremely discordant, I saw Sun Fei's eyes wide, if it weren't for Chu Yan's special identity, I'm afraid he would have gone over and started a long time ago.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Sun Tai glared at his son, and then said: "Father, will the first seat be here to explain the matter of paying tribute, after all, our Sun family is now one of the six major families, and the amount handed over every year is probably much more than before." ”
"Well, this is certain, it turns out that we only need to hand it over to the Zheng family, but now it's different, so naturally we have to explain. ”
As he spoke, Sun Changqing nodded, and then looked at Sun Yuan on the side: "What do you think about this matter, tell me and listen to it?"
"I agree with the uncle, but there is one thing I still don't understand. ”
After a pause, Sun Jue frowned: "Since it is a matter of paying tribute, it can be a Nie envoy or a great elder to come for a trip, and there is no need for the first one to go in person, but also to mobilize the people and call all the five family heads, which is very abnormal, even when the Huo family took over the Qian family's territory, it was not like this." ”
Finally, there is one more person who understands......
Chu Yan muttered secretly, it was not easy for Sun Yuan to think of this.
Sun Changqing nodded again and looked at Sun Jian, this is his third son, he is a real person, but his mind is not very good, so he did not ask for his opinion, and in the end, Sun Changqing set his eyes on Chu Yan.
"Yichen, what do you think about this matter?"
"Me?" Chu Yan spread his hands: "I have similar thoughts to Sun Fei, they are here to talk to the Sun family." ”
He didn't want to wade into this troubled water, the reason was very simple, after all, he was not from the Sun family, so he didn't want to fall too deep.
And now is a sensitive period, the position of the head of the family has been undecided, Chu Yan is worried that he is too sharp, it will definitely attract Sun Tai's suspicions, he has no time to spend on this, if he really tears his face, Chu Yan will not be able to kill them.
Sun Changqing looked a little displeased, but he didn't have a seizure, after all, Chu Yan's identity is too special, and the fact that the Sun family can have today is completely due to him.
The next day, Lin Haifeng finally got to the point, and called Sun Changqing and the five family heads together, Chu Yan should have also go, but he had already guessed the general content, fortunately, he planned to leave.
Obviously, Lin Haifeng wanted to use the Sun family as an excuse to refuse the merchant's request for a reduction or exemption of tribute.
In fact, just as Chu Yan guessed, just today, Lin Haifeng called them all together, and made a clear attitude towards the tribute that was less than a year away, that is, not a single gold coin could be missing.
This made it unacceptable to the six heads of the family, especially the merchants, who had suffered a lot of losses from the recent incident, and there was less than a year to go, where could they gather so many gold coins at once.
However, Lin Haifeng's attitude was very resolute, and took the Sun family as an example, although he had just taken over the Huo family's territory, there could be no change in the tribute after a year.
Sun Changqing was panicked now, the Sun family couldn't compare with the other five families, this had just taken over the Huo family's territory, and it was the time when everything was in ruins, but he had to face such a grim situation, originally he thought that Lin Hai would open up the net and reduce some of it, and give the Sun family a chance to breathe, but he didn't expect it to be such a mess.
But because of Jintang's obscenity, Sun Changqing didn't dare to say anything, so he could only agree to it, so that the other five families would have nothing to say.
If you want to say that it is difficult, the current situation is difficult for anyone to have the Sun family, so everyone kept their mouths shut, which is why Lin Haifeng gathered them together in the Sun family, in order to use the Sun family to block their mouths.
Back in the southwest branch, Chu Yan took out nearly a thousand pills and asked Yue'er to take them directly, while Yu Qingrou also planned to retreat and cultivate.
Chu Yan found Bu Chengfeng and asked briefly, and learned that everything in the southwest branch hall was the same as before during this time, nothing special happened, and the days suddenly calmed down again.
A few days have passed, the rain is gentle and Yue'er has never moved, and Chu Yan has come to the third rank of the god king after several days of cultivation, which can be regarded as a rapid progress.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Chu Yan smiled, his heart moved, and a lone shadow appeared in his hand, and the sword body was trembling slightly.
Sure enough, it's a peerless divine soldier......
Chu Yan's eyes were full of fanaticism, and he gently stroked the sword body.
What's going on?
At this time, Chu Yan frowned slightly, and found that there was a faint trace of blood on the blade of the sword, according to which he had not done anything with anyone during this time, how could there be blood stains on the sword body of the lone shadow.
Could it be......
Suddenly, Chu Yan's eyes widened, could it be the giant hand that the dark cloud turned into.
This thought frightened Chu Yan, but at the moment it was the only reasonable explanation.
............
Except for the overwhelming spies in Jintang, who were looking for the whereabouts of Xuezhu everywhere, life was quite stable, and many fresh faces suddenly appeared around Chu Yan, all of whom were sent to help in the name of Jintang, but Chu Yan knew very well in his heart that these people were sent by Nie Fan, and there was only one purpose, that is, to spy on him.
Now Nie Fan has already made up his mind that what happened one after another is from his handwriting, but Lin Haifeng doesn't believe it very much, plus the Great Elder has always been at odds with Nie Fan, and he is afraid that he will be replaced by him one day, so in front of Lin Haifeng, he can be regarded as helping Chu Yan.
It's just that Nie Fan's personality Chu Yan knows very well that this person is definitely not under Gu Changfeng, especially what happened in the Sun family this time, if it weren't for the Wind Horned Beast, I'm afraid Lin Haifeng would really be suspicious.
So Chu Yan has been reminding himself to be careful in everything and beware of Nie Fan, now that there are so many eyeliners around him, I am afraid that he will not be so free in the future.
However, Chu Yan didn't care too much about these spies, and he also had countermeasures, Yue'er's charm skills were first-class, and it was overkill to deal with them.
As for the rest of the Southwest Branch, they were disgusted by the sudden appearance of new faces.
Bu Chengfeng is better, but the others are not so friendly, especially the An brothers, who can't wait to slaughter them all, because as long as they are not fools, anyone can see that the purpose of these people is nothing more than to monitor every move of the Southwest Branch, especially Chu Yan, the hall master of the Southwest Branch.
The lives of the two were saved by Chu Yan, otherwise they would have died at the hands of the Great Elder, and for this reason, Chu Yan and the Great Elder almost made a move.
The two brothers are both grateful people, and after that time, they secretly made up their minds that this life would be Chu Yan's in the future, and now they were naturally the most unhappy when they saw Jintang sending someone to monitor their savior.
And although the others are not as strong as these two brothers, they are not comfortable in their hearts, and they have worked hard for Jintang for so many years, but in the end they are suspicious, and they believe that they are not willing to change to anyone.
But on the other hand, Chu Yan, for the sake of the An brothers, they dared to argue with the Great Elder and risk their lives, which was unique in Jintang, and everyone became more and more clear in their hearts who should follow in the future was the right one, but now the time has not come, and they have no chance to perform.
A flying eagle landed on Chu Yan's shoulder, with a small bamboo tube tied to his leg, which was a secret letter sent by Shang Yunbiao.
Since the beginning of the middle school, this old man can be regarded as having a huge role, and every once in a while, or if there is any major discovery, he will fly the eagle and pass the book to Chu Yan.
Chu Yan unfolded the secret letter, and the dense small characters came into view.
It turned out that after the four family heads left the Sun family, they did not directly part ways, but met in secret, but Zheng Qianli was still the same and did not participate.
As for the content merchant Yun Biao, it is unknown, but Chu Yan can also guess a rough idea, it is nothing more than the matter of reducing the tribute is completely lost, and the four families are very angry, it is likely that they are discussing countermeasures to eradicate Jintang, of course, it may also be something else.
But it is not difficult to confirm it, because if the four families really decide to do it, the Gong family and the Xun family will definitely contact Chu Yan during this time and ask how the matter of Xuezhu is going, and they will definitely not miss this powerful helper.
Straightening everything out one by one, Chu Yan's mood was very good, his plan had been successful until now, and now all he had to do was wait, waiting for an opportunity to completely ignite the fuse of this big war.
"Ah, you're going to enjoy it. It was already evening, Chu Yan came to the front yard with a good mood, and saw that the An brothers were setting up firewood, and the rest of the people were picking up a few fat sheep on the side, looking like they were going to have a self-service barbecue.
Everyone was stunned, Chu Yan had expressly forbidden it, and he was not allowed to get these things in the yard, so he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"You're too disagreeable. Chu Yan's words surprised them again.
"If you don't call me for such a good thing, do you still have me in your eyes?"
Forehead...... The gap was so big that everyone didn't react for a while.
After a while, An Shihu hurriedly ran over with a smile: "Look at the hall master you said, we want to wait for everything to be prepared before inviting you over." ”
"Yes, yes, that's what we all think. The rest of the people quickly chimed in.
"That's pretty much it. ”
With Chu Yan's approval, these people worked harder, and it didn't take long to clean up, watching the mutton fat dripping on the fire crackling, Chu Yan swallowed his saliva. (To be continued.) )
