Chapter 177: About Face
As the top ten families of the Zhou Dynasty, the Ren family not only has extremely strong strength, but the internal competition is naturally becoming more and more fierce because of the increasing number of children in the family. Where to chase novels, go fast, and go fast
The fat man has been away from home for many years, and when he returned home, he was entrusted with an important task by the old man, which has the meaning of passing on the position of the head of the family to him, which makes people red-eyed, and also makes the fat man invisibly have a lot of haters.
Now that the old man has a big birthday, everyone has a chance, so they naturally want to compare with the fat man.
Among them, Ming Kai is the leader.
Ming Kai is a generation older than the fat man, and according to the order, he is naturally one level older than the fat man, and the fat man wants to call him uncle, but he is not the son of the Ren family, and half of the bloodline is from the Shen family, so even if he has taken care of the affairs of the family in an orderly manner as the chief steward of the Ren family over the years, he has not continued to be promoted to the next level.
Originally, Ming Kai was not in a hurry, with his power in the Ren family and the painstaking operation for many years, the return of the fat man did not pose a threat to him.
But in the end, the old man's attitude made him feel threatened.
This threat comes from the old man's doting on the fat man, and this unreasonable doting creates Ming Kai's unreasonable hatred of the fat man.
The fat man came to Lin Fan this time, in addition to the fact that Lin Fan was his brother, there was also a crucial point, because Lin Fan now has some reputation and identity in the imperial capital.
Although Lin Fan's reputation was a bit bad because the eldest disciple of the Realm Sect died violently in prison, Lin Fan was always like the big celebrity around him today, the first young man to enter the Yanyu Building in recent years.
And the old man's birthday banquet is naturally more than the birthday gift and connections.
Whoever can invite the big people in the imperial capital, and who can give gifts that meet the old man's heart, will be considered a winner.
The fat man knew that he was unlikely to be a winner, and he just thought about not being too embarrassed.
"Originally, I was also a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and if I lost some people, I would lose some people, but the problem was that Ming Kai didn't seem to just want me to be embarrassed. “
"Then what else does he want to do?" Lin Fan asked with a frown.
The fat man whispered, "Show your strength!"
"The Ren family is only me and my ruthless brother, and without my brother with the concept of an old man, I naturally want to be the head of the family. ”
"But there are eight major collateral lines in the Ren family, and they are all descendants of the Ren family in the previous generation. But after making peace with other families, he no longer has a surname. ”
"Therefore, if they want the family to fall into their pockets, they must have absolute power. ”
"The old man's health has not been very good. Although he has been in charge of the Ren family for thousands of years, he has left many loyal subordinates, but in recent years, because the old man has gradually faded out, the eight major factions headed by Ming Kai have begun to grasp power. ”
"They want the old man to know that they are now full-fledged. ”
"And then?" Lin Fan didn't understand these battles. Can only ask.
The fat man said: "Then the old man will weigh the pros and cons, if he wants to give me the Ren family, at least two things must be ensured." ”
"Which two?"
"First, I have the ability to allow the Ren family to continue to thrive and maintain its status. ”
"Second, before he leaves, can he help me get rid of the Eight Collateral Groups. ”
Lin Fan was silent, not knowing how to speak.
"Of course, this is a bit far away, but now I have a life assessment in front of me, and I haven't held a birthday banquet for 80 years. The old man's purpose is to see how I cope. ”
Lin Fan said boredly: "This is really a boring thing. ”
"Then will you help?"
"Of course. ”
The fat man immediately put on a smiling face and said: "Blind, you must do your best in this matter, and invite whoever you can invite, otherwise I'm afraid that this fat man will be swollen." ”
"I'll help you invite the queen?"
The fat man's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's fake, the queen of heaven has a lot of opportunities, how can I have time to pay attention to this little thing. ”
............
............
The Ren family is located in the south of the imperial capital, and its courtyard mansion occupies a radius of ten miles, although it does not look grand, but there is a hole in the inside.
It is less than ten days before the old man's birthday. In the major courtyards, the smoke and rain buildings have been pasted with the word "happy", and there are occasional children playing, which is quite festive.
The fat man who returned to Ren's house looked a little taciturn. This is the style he has always had when he went home, just like Lin Fan before he met him, when he practiced alone in the Snow Gate.
Everyone who sees a fat man will shout: "Young master." ”
But from the voice and intonation, it was easy to tell that those people were full of awe of the fat man, the young master of the Ren family. Those people don't care about fat people at all.
Fat people have long been used to this.
He was tired of leaving the Ren family, but now that he is back, this time he will not retreat again, his choice is to move forward bravely, just like Lin Fan in Luoxue Town, the choice he made when the smoke and rain five gates attacked.
It's just that the fat man understands that Lin Fan rushed out at that time, whether he lived or died, there was always a simple break.
And if he loses in the battle within the family, I am afraid that life is worse than death, he must do it to the old man, so that the old man understands that he has the mind to become the head of the Ren family.
But he may not have imagined that Lin Fan might be able to bring him some surprises.
After the fat man left, Lin Fan went straight to the second master's house.
Without the half-demon case, Wu Dazhui rarely had a few days of leisure, but Lin Fan's arrival immediately broke his leisure.
"Fat is my best friend. After Lin Fan finished speaking, he said this sentence emphatically.
Wu Dazhui raised his eyebrows, and did not ask how good it was, but said, "Actually, I don't have many friends in the imperial capital. ”
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows at Wu Dazhui, and said politely without a hint of politeness: "Do your best." ”
Wu Dazhui said: "Okay." ”
Then he thought about it and said, "Actually, you can invite a big person." ”
Lin Fan said stupidly: "You won't say it's the queen of heaven, she's an old man, ......."
"Diva...... Your head is in the water, and you say that the ten major families are the birthday banquets held by the relatives of the Zhou family, and the queen of heaven will pass on a sentence at most. ”
"And what do you mean?"
"You forgot the swordsman who guarded the heavens?"
"Zhen Wuzi?"
"I think he's more than happy to do you a favor, and it seems like he's thinking of something else. ”
"What's the solution?"
"Other ways to make you his disciple. ”
Lin Fan scratched his head, and Wu Da Hammer said: "You have to understand that Zhen Wuzi is one of the most powerful people in the Heaven Guarding Temple, if he appears at the birthday banquet, I am afraid that he will be the person with the highest seniority, not to mention the internal strife of those families, your friend's face will be bright enough." ”
Lin Fan thought about the fat man's appearance this time, so he had to sigh and say, "How do you find him?"
Wu Dazhui said: "I'll help you get in touch." After saying this, his eyes lit up, and the little abacus in his heart started to fight quickly (to be continued.) )xh118
