Yu Cheng couldn't sleep after getting up at night, he was walking in the yard, touching his mustache, looking up and seeing a white face, subconsciously scolded a bad word, and quickly stopped, turned around and left in a hurry.

The helmsman of the Gongsun family died again, this time it was the turn of Gongsun Yao, the eldest lady of Gongsun who had just taken over the power of the family for a long time, and the Shangguan family was unlucky, and it happened to hit this juncture, so naturally there was no way to walk away.

Yu Buping, as a master of the Shangguan family, also serves as the responsibility of guarding the head of the family, and it is impossible for him to leave, so they have no choice but to help the Gongsun family deal with the aftermath of Miss Gongsun.

Originally, Gongsun, as a great family of rivers and lakes, naturally did not bother outsiders with this little thing, but after the Gongsun family suffered repeated blows, most of the outstanding talents in the clan withered.

The only few remaining ones are also young and qualified, unable to convince the public or second, and their own abilities are also uneven, and the only reliable Gongsun Yi is now a drunkard, embarrassed and useful.

The youngest elder of the Gongsun family, who is also the person with the highest martial arts and medical skills in the clan, cried a lot on the day of the death of the eldest lady Gongsun Yao, and then lived every day holding the wine jar, and the whole person was groggy and almost useless.

In desperation, the leaderless Gongsun clan set their sights on Shangguan Shaoqin, and cheekily asked the other party to come forward to preside over the overall situation.

Shangguan Shaoqin's first reaction was to shirk, after all, among the big clans, it is better to do less of such things as overstepping the bounds, but he can't bear the pleading of the Gongsun clan in turn.

On the one hand, it was indeed because of the sudden collapse of the family, and the elders were autistic and alcoholic, so they had no choice but to ask outsiders.

On the other hand, Gongsun Yao's death also dealt another heavy blow to the already stormy Gongsun family, as one of the three major families in the rivers and lakes, and now it is the only remaining family in the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that the Gongsun family will make a big move.

Since Gongsun Huan's identity was revealed, and Gongsun Wang and other elders were all killed in battle, the Gongsun family has actually been strong on the outside, not much stronger than an empty shell.

But with the accumulated contacts and the century-old prestige of the Gongsun family, after Gongsun Yao seized power strongly, he still barely stabilized the situation.

Now, Gongsun Yao died inexplicably, the last beam of the Gongsun family was broken, and when the building was about to collapse, no one wanted to stay out of the matter.

Shangguan Shaoqin is here, he is simply sent by God to save their Gongsun family, as long as they ask the other party to help one or two at the most critical time, when Gongsun Yi eases up in the future, the Gongsun family can continue to be peaceful.

Otherwise, if you don't mention it, let's just say that the situation in front of you is very troublesome, and they are also forces in the rivers and lakes, and the grandson can bring the word family to the back, naturally because their family business is big enough.

With the medical city as the core, there are several state capitals around, and almost half of the world has the industry of the Gongsun family, or the medical hall, or the medicine garden, and the industries in various places are like the branches of a big tree.

Just after the accidents of Gongsun Huan and Gongsun Wang and other veteran figures, the Gongsun family encountered crises, such as the operation of those industries suddenly became difficult, and the best medicine gardens began to be constantly found fault by others.

After Gongsun Yao took over the power, she immediately began to operate with the connections accumulated by the Gongsun family for many years, and she cooperated with the big factions in the rivers and lakes through the exchange of favors and the union of interests, so that these people came forward to support the scene for them, so that those who coveted it knew the difficulties and retreated.

This trick is really easy to use, and the signboard of the Gongsun family is here, and there will never be a shortage of people who are willing to cooperate.

Now what the Gongsun family wants is to repeat the old tricks, and use the prestige of the Shangguan family to scare off those hungry wolves for them, after all, the decline of the Gongsun family is essentially a fault line in the family inheritance.

Once discovered by outsiders, they are actually a group of paper tigers, then countless hungry wolves who are still watching will pounce on them all in one breath and devour them cleanly.

Even many people are pessimistic that once the Gongsun family is finished, those big factions who used to call them brothers and sisters may be the first to rush up and share their inheritance.

Shangguan Shaoqin repeatedly refused, but the Gongsun family had made up his mind, and even some clansmen couldn't kneel in front of his door, which made him have to compromise and choose to come forward.

The Gongsun family was grateful to Shangguan Shaoqin for his benevolence, and the praise was endless, looking at their expressions, Shangguan Shaoqin couldn't help but sigh, the Gongsun family was really exhausted.

The reason why this group of people came to invite Shangguan Shaoqin to come forward was because they unanimously recognized Shangguan Shaoqin's character, and on the other hand, it was also because the Shangguan family also had a big business, and it was far better than their grandson's family if it was purely more than the family property.

Therefore, this group of people believes that Shangguan Shaoqin will not covet the property of the Gongsun family, but because they are also a big family, they will try their best to help the Gongsun family, not only can they gain an ally and countless favors, but also have a good reputation as a righteous gentleman.

And this is what they take for granted, in this river and lake, it is never an exception for big fish to eat small fish, but for the sake of fame and face, everyone will not be too straightforward.

But no matter how good-looking the whitewash is, the truth is still cruel, and even Shangguan Shaoqin is much more dangerous than those second-rate and third-rate forces who do not enter the stream.

People who have eaten meat will want to eat meat more, and they have tasted the delicacy of benefits, and such a big piece of cake from the Gongsun family is placed in front of them, Shangguan Shaoqin is very curious, why do they think they will not be tempted.

If you can't grab it directly, is it difficult to nibble away step by step? Shangguan Shaoqin lamented that the Gongsun family was full of fools, and at the same time, he quickly began to lay out and seize the other party's foundation.

Although Gongsun Huan has never looked down on the Gongsun family, this does not mean that the other party will let others divide his family business at will.

Therefore, Shangguan Shaoqin's actions are very fast, even if the other party reacts in the future, everything will become an established fact, and there is such a threat as the crown princess, the other party doesn't want everyone to be finished together, so he can only choose to pinch his nose and admit it.

So Shangguan Shaoqin reluctantly accepted the invitation of the Gongsun family and began to preside over the overall situation for them, while sending his henchmen to ask to see Jinyiwei with gifts.

This is not that Shangguan Shaoqin wants to show his loyalty, but he knows that once the Gongsun family collapses, he may not be able to eat all the meat in his mouth in such a short period of time.

He estimated that the biggest possibility was that he ate the largest portion, but the rest would definitely be eaten by various forces, after all, there are many smart people in the world.

Therefore, anyway, this part of the benefits can't fall into his pocket, rather than watching others pick up the benefits for nothing, it is better to let him give them to Jinyiwei as a favor.
