Chapter 233 Fiction and Reality
Wangshu Mansion City, Qufu Mansion.
Everyone in the city knows that soon after the lord of Chu Mansion was appointed by Tiancheng, he followed the customs of the countryside and selected two in-laws in the city.
They are the Qu family and the You family.
These two families are both local big families, and there are several Jindan real people in the clan, and after uniting with the lord of Chu Mansion, it is a strong alliance.
In these years, the inaction of the lord of Chu Mansion has been ruled by these two families, and they have also eaten most of the benefits.
Of course, since Chu Yanran was born, the two families that were originally neck and neck have gradually become high.
The Qu family faintly became the first family of Wangshu Mansion.
Over the years, the Datong Society was born, and with the endorsement of the City Lord's Mansion, it robbed most of the money-making businesses in the city.
After all, under the same overall development of a city, the market cake is only so big.
Some people take an extra bite, while others want to eat less.
From this point of view, the Qu family is actually the party whose interests are damaged.
It's just that the monks in the Qu family have made a lot of money in the demon army with the lord of Chu Mansion over the years, and on the whole, they have made a little profit compared to before, so they have no opinions.
Otherwise, Datong would have done this, and the lord of Chu Mansion would have caught fire in his backyard a long time ago.
But now that the Demon Eradication Army is facing disbandment, and the Qu family's financial resources have been cut off, they have other ideas in their hearts.
So as soon as Chu Yanran arrived with the order of the lord of the Chu Mansion, she hit it off.
in the chamber.
All the families in the city gathered together, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
The monk is not high.
On the contrary, even a powerful sect like the Xuanyang Sect had to spread its disciples widely, suppress a realm with the Eight Heavenly Towns, and loot resources.
The strongest of these clans, but the family of the Jindan realm, what qualifications do they have.
If the income in the clan decreases, the daily cultivation resources will have to be reduced, and the descendants of the family will not be well cultivated.
Over time, the family will decay and eventually disappear into the dust of history.
So when the composer informed them to discuss important matters, although they had some doubts in their hearts, everyone still came, and they were all important people from each family.
"Brother Qu, since you called the big guy, you can't let us come over and sit."
"The lord of the mansion is not doing this authentically, he is full of food, so he doesn't care about us people?
Over the years, we have done our best, and we didn't cause trouble to his old man.
Now that the Datong Society is bullying people too much, and the City Lord's Mansion is shirking in every possible way, someone has to stand up and say something. ”
Someone took the lead, and the hall resounded with the grumbling of everyone.
"Before, I also said that the president of the Datong Association knows how to be a man, and a good treasure like Jindan is also a good treasure that is said to be sent.
Our Zhang family has also earned a lot of spirit stones by relying on reselling qualifications.
But over the years, our chances of winning the lottery have become lower and lower, but our Zhang family's Danfang business has been robbed by the Datong Association.
Now, Danfang has to lose two or three hundred thousand spirit stones a year.
Most of the alchemists raised by our Danfang were simply poached by the Datong Society.
The key is that we can't beat him yet.
The Datong Society has funded too many fake Dan monks over the years, although it is not worth mentioning individually, but ten or eight of them stand together, and even our ancestors dare not do it easily. ”
"That's right, the Datong Association is simply not a son of people, the Great Love Garden said at the beginning that it would make a steady profit and not lose money, so we invested money to enter the market and bought most of their houses.
As a result, the price of the house has skyrocketed, but not many people have bought it at all.
Not only that, if someone sells, we have to take over, otherwise the house price will have to be cut in half.
Now that we are all holding on, only Datong will eat with a mouth full of oil. ”
"I don't know where Datong learned these ghost tricks, Lao Tzu is now regretting, especially regretting, obviously he is honest and farming at home, and he can make a living by collecting rent every year.
Now that he owes a lot of debt, Lingtian has to mortgage it to others.
There is also the share of the elders of the sect, if someone takes it, Lao Tzu will not live. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all picked up a handful of bitter tears.
Don't look at them all practicing for a hundred years, they seem to be scheming.
But the mode of thinking is rigid because of years of experience, and in the face of the skilled leek tactics of the Datong Society, there is not much power to fight back.
In the past, when they encountered this kind of almost fraudulent means, they could have flipped the table and not played.
You can't solve the problem, and you can't solve the person who raised the problem.
It's just that the City Lord's Mansion, which was supposed to be standing with them, went to Grandma's house this time.
You can't beat the hard ones, and you can't say the soft ones.
Qu Ming, as the contemporary head of the Qu family, couldn't help but rub his brows when he saw the anger of the crowd at this moment, and secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, it was a good thing to call them over this time, otherwise it would not have been possible to fight on the spot.
"Everyone, don't be impatient."
"Qu invited you to come, naturally to give you a solution, I hope that Shufu City can have its current appearance, thanks to the hard work of our family year after year.
In the end, the foundation of the Datong Association is shallow, and how can it go against the opinions of the public. ”
"So Qu wants to announce a good news to everyone."
"I think everyone knows that just a few days ago, after the Lord of Chu came back, he specially invited the chairman Bai to come to the door to talk.
The situation seems to be very bleak.
But the real situation is not like this, in fact, under the persuasion of the Chu Mansion Lord, Chairman Bai promised that the Chu Mansion Lord was willing to take out the property of the Datong Society and share it with everyone.
Lingshi has to be earned by everyone to be happy. ”
Qu Ming clapped his hands and said to the back hall in the posture of a victor:
"President Bai, please come and say a few words to you in person."
After a while.
Yu Xian, who was scruffy and looked quite haggard, walked out of the back hall and bowed to everyone.
"Bai Gu has seen all fellow Daoists."
The people present basically suffered at the hands of the Datong Society, and when they saw Yu Xian's appearance at this time, instead of sympathy, they felt a sense of relief.
In the end, it is an outsider, and the lord of Chu Mansion is still on the side of his family.
They used to blame the lord of the mansion by mistake.
Yu Xian smiled bitterly and said, "According to the opinion of the Lord of the Chu Mansion, the Datong Association intends to split and auction all the properties except for the Great Love Project.
If you are interested, you can attend the auction at the Cosmos after January. ”
"It's actually going to split the auction Datong Association."
A group of people suddenly geared up and became interested.
They have all suffered the losses of the Datong Association, and they know that except for the Datong Project, other projects of the Datong Association are chickens that lay golden eggs.
As long as they get one, even if they don't have to change anything, they can make a lot of money if they continue to do it according to the previous model.
As for that big love project, don't give it to you.
If they do good deeds and post money outside, they can't afford to lose their big family business.
But......
There is no good thing in the sky that pie falls, and as soon as the news of the complaint came out on their front feet, the white chairman on the back feet came out to appease.
Could it be that the Lord of the Chu Mansion and Chairman Bai had other agreements in private, and everything was acting now.
Some people have doubts in their hearts.
But on the whole, Yu Xian's performance did appease them.
Just like the concerns of the county order of Autumn Wind City at the beginning, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God.
Once the sect inspector is gone, he must go back with credit.
Moreover, the supervising monk in charge of the prefecture level is already the Yuanying True Monarch, and if they want to satisfy such a person, the price they pay is enough to break their bones.
If it weren't for the collusion between the Datong Society and the City Lord's Mansion before, forcing them to be anxious, they wouldn't have this kind of thought.
So when everyone dispersed from Qufu with half excitement and half confusion, they automatically sounded with their relationships.
It is logical that by coincidence, I heard that the lord of the Chu Mansion was seriously injured when he was out to remove demons.
Now Miss Chu and her mother, the former eldest lady of the Qu family, have privately sold the Chu family's property together.
But the strange thing is that they only need spirit stones.
Someone visited the lord of Chu Mansion in the name of visiting the sick, but was blocked and said that it was inconvenient to see guests.
All kinds of behaviors make people suspicious.
Until the grapevine came out, the lord of the Chu Mansion had asked Director Yan about the Infant Pill at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and confirmed that the Infant Pill would be sold at the auction held by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce at the headquarters of the Xuanyang Realm.
People with good deeds hurried to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to inquire.
Although in principle, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to divulge the privacy of guests, but these inquirers are the city's powerful and the main source of customers of the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, Director Yan neither admitted nor denied it, but only nodded and admitted that there would indeed be a baby pill at the auction.
In this way, the smart man suddenly understood everything.
The lord of the Chu Mansion is recuperating from his illness, but he is actually preparing to break through the Yuan Baby, and now he is selling the property under his name, as long as the spirit stone is the proof.
And the reason why President Bai compromised with the Lord of Chu Mansion was probably because he secretly reached an agreement with the Lord of Chu Mansion.
Or simply threatened by the Lord of the Chu Mansion, the spirit stones they auctioned will become a resource to support the breakthrough of the Lord of the Chu Mansion.
After many investigations and evidence collection, the Datong Society itself was ignored, and everyone's attention was focused on the matter of the Chu Mansion Lord's possible breakthrough of the Yuan Infant.
The Jindan realm and the Yuanying realm are only one big realm apart.
But the difference between one realm is the difference between heaven and earth.
Of course, the Yuanying realm is not so easy to break through, otherwise the Lord of Chu Mansion would not be so low-key.
Being too high-profile is not only easy to attract jealousy, but also can cause accidents, and if you fail, you will become a laughing stock.
Some people thought they had got the right answer, but they tacitly concealed the news and sold the favor of the lord of Chu Mansion a little.
As for the complaint, the fool will sue.
Now everyone is busy dividing the cake of the Datong Association, and from time to time a few families make a private appointment to discuss.
After all, although each family has a lot of assets, they don't have much cash flow, and they have to work together to eat it.
……
In the castle lord's mansion.
Chu Yanran told the Chu Mansion about the recent changes in the city, and comforted at the same time:
"Dad, don't worry, President Bai has promised me that as long as my daughter gives him the spirit stone, he won't do anything to you."
"Yes, Dad, with me and Yanran here, President Bai dares to be unfavorable to you, we will die with him, and we will never let him have a good time."
Duan Hong, whose breath was sluggish and his face was pale, was cheering on the side.
The Lord of the Chu Mansion glanced at Duan Hong lightly and said nothing.
He knew that Duan Hong was a member of the Datong Society nine times out of ten, but he couldn't say anything now, not even hint, he could only watch his daughter fall into this man's gentle trap.
Because the Demon Lord senior followed him almost every step of the way.
Once he reveals any flaws, it will be the end of the whole city.
Speaking of which, he was also honored to be able to let a Yuanying True Monarch treat him so carefully.
At the same time, he was even more jealous of President Bai's identity, and he was able to make a Yuanying True Monarch obey his words.
I'm afraid that the sect finally caught him, and before the investigation was clear, they didn't dare to really execute him.
Otherwise, if they really attract the thunderous wrath of a god and demon venerable, even the Nine Yang Immortal Sect will not be able to protect them.
His previous thoughts were a little too rosy.
"Dad is very good here, you listen to President Bai's orders and act well, and discuss everything with Duan Hong, although he is not as good as you in cultivation, he is much smarter than you."
The Lord of Chu Mansion said lightly.
"Well, my daughter knows, if it weren't for Duan Lang accompanying her daughter these days, my daughter really wouldn't know how to get through it."
Chu Yanran held Duan Hong's hand tightly, with a happy smile on her face.
Lord of Chu Mansion: "......"
"Alright, it's time for you to go."
The bald man said expressionlessly.
Chu Yanran looked at the Lord of the Chu Mansion reluctantly and said, "Dad, my daughter will often come to see you, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
The lord of the Chu Mansion bowed slightly, and he didn't really want to talk to his stupid daughter anymore.
It wasn't long after Chu Yanran and Duan Hong left.
Yu Xian appeared in front of the lord of the Chu Mansion on time.
"Lord Chu Mansion, thank you for your cooperation, otherwise I would be really embarrassed."
The lord of the Chu Mansion snorted coldly: "President Bai is a good means, turning over the clouds and raining hands, and now the whole city is guessing when Chu will break through."
I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that Chu was already your subordinate. ”
Yu Xian smiled and said: "Each other, didn't the Lord of Chu Mansion tell me that there is such a thing as sect supervision."
If the Xuanyang Sect's supervising monks came, I would have to flee.
And the desperate situation of the lord of Chu Mansion is overturned, and it will be enough to spread a good story at that time.
It's a pity that the Lord of Chu Mansion probably doesn't know, and so far, they have no intention of really suing and inviting the sect to supervise.
The previous news was deliberately released by them to scare you and me. ”
The Lord of the Chu Mansion shook his head and said, "It's just that they were attracted by the small profits you threw out, the profits made them dizzy, short-sighted, hesitant to do big things, and wasted a great opportunity." ”
Yu Xian said: "I think you are to blame for this." ”
The Lord of Chu Mansion was puzzled: "What is the explanation?" ”
Yu Xian sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for your sect inspectors who were too ruthless in raiding, they would have gained something from the dispatch."
So that they have to be careful to even complain, how can they make you miscalculate.
But I also understand your sect supervision, after all, if someone asks me to do something, even if it doesn't work out, I have to take half of the benefits. ”
The Lord of the Chu Mansion was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "President Bai is really a wonderful person. ”
Yu Xian said: "The lord of Chu Mansion has won the award, and you scolded me for being the devil a few days ago." ”
"Lord of Chu, I have no intention of killing you, as long as you cooperate well, when you finish what I want to do, you will still be your lord of the mansion at that time.
Even the Cosmos will still be able to work with you. ”
The Lord of Chu Mansion was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate afterwards?" ”
Yu Xian smiled, looking very confident.
"I have always believed that there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests, and you and I are not some endless life-and-death enemies.
Besides, in addition to the Datong Association below, who can give the Lord of Chu Mansion another chance to condense your baby? ”
The Lord of Chu Mansion was silent for a moment and asked:
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Yu Xian thought about it and smiled brightly.
"It's a secret, but I think it's a good thing."
"Lord of Chu, rest well, don't be too haggard, let your daughter see it, but you have to feel distressed."
Yu Xian waved his hand and left.
The lord of the Chu Mansion glanced at the bald man who had been standing on the side like a sculpture since Yu Xian came, and sighed secretly.
"If you think wrongly, you will lose everything."
Recalling that year, he had already given up the idea of breaking through, whether to break through or not, it was dispensable, and he was attached to the mountains and rivers all day long, and even the government affairs of the city lord's mansion were handled by the Qu You family.
But how did you get to where you are today?
Probably......
The lord of Chu Mansion remembered the day he first met Yu Xian, and when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, the idea of breaking through the Yuan Infant was like a seed, taking root in his heart.
"He's really a devil."
If it weren't for the devil, how could he let his desires take root so easily, and he couldn't extricate himself.
He sat down with his strong body, and he grew old in an instant.
