Chapter 65: Zhang Xiangu

"Young Master, we've arrived. Xiaohe trotted two steps and came to the carriage.

Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the carriage and closing his eyes, heard Xiaohe's words, and after humming, he opened his eyes, pulled the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

The street is so wide and bustling with people that it doesn't feel crowded.

The young master and young master of the family, the scholar who reads poetry and books, and the couples who are pairs, many types of characters, make the wide street add to the bustling and lively scene.

Looking at the scene in front of him, thinking of Huazi City, Zhang Yi sighed: "It's really a good place! It's a hundred times stronger than Huazi City!"

Zhang Yi turned his head and looked at the store behind him, with the four big words "Spirit Fruit Store" written on it.

Although it is a bit cheesy, in the Heavenly City, the spirit fruit of the Zhang family is also famous.

"Let's go in and see. After Zhang Yi finished speaking, Xiaohe greeted a few family members, and a group of people entered the store.

Zhang Yi and Xiaohe entered the store, and soon Zhang Yi's eyes were attracted by the spirit fruit in the store.

There are a lot of spiritual fruits placed in the store, and all the spiritual fruits are hung on the wall with special techniques, some are placed on the counter, colorful, crystal clear, and look appetizing, and some are of good grade, but they are not placed out to prevent accidents.

Zhang Yi's eyes swept around the spirit fruit, and nine out of ten of the spirit fruits in it were all things he had eaten, and he regretfully withdrew his eyes, only to find that the entire store was quiet, and there was not even a single figure.

At this time, Xiaohe walked to the counter and shouted a few times: "Is the shopkeeper here?"

It didn't take long to see an old man with gray hair who was old and full of gray hair, and walked out slowly.

When the old man saw the Zhang family, his expression immediately became cautious, especially Zhang Yi, who looked at him a few extra times, and he was not afraid of offending.

Later, the old man moved his feet and came to Zhang Yi.

"Dare to ask which young master in the clan is it?" Although the old man didn't know Zhang Yi, with his qualifications and Zhang Yi's clothes, he could guess which young master Zhang Yi must be in the clan.

"Junior Zhang Yi, come here to play!" Zhang Yi clasped his fists and saluted.

The old man thought for a moment and felt that the name Zhang Yi was a little familiar, oh! I almost forgot that this Zhang Yi was the eldest son of the patriarch, no wonder it was so familiar.

The old man himself also has the strength to sneak for two days, no matter whether he knows whether Zhang Yi is the eldest young master of the Zhang family, but he does not believe that he is high, such strength is placed in the family, and he can take up the position of commander, but he is still cautious.

"It turned out to be the eldest young master, the old man is polite, if you are offended, I hope the eldest young master will understand!" The old man made a slight gesture and continued: "The old man is the shopkeeper here Zhang Xiangu, it is inconvenient to speak here, the eldest young master is upstairs, please!"

After hearing the old man call himself 'Zhang Xiangu', it made Zhang Yi stunned, his grandfather was called 'Zhang Xiangu', both of them had the word 'first', after thinking about it, Zhang Yi also understood that only the same generation would have the same word in the Zhang family, such as Zhang Xiangu and Zhang Xiangu, they are all from the older generation, and Zhang Yi and Zhang Bo are younger generations, so naturally their names are different.

After Zhang Yi nodded, he left the family with Xiaohe and followed the old man to the second floor.

There is a passage on the second floor, on both sides of the corridor are storage rooms, and a single room to negotiate the sale, and a section of the way forward, is a living room, this living room is only accessible to the Zhang family.

Zhang Yi came to the living room and sat down by the window, just in time to see the bustling street outside.

"Hey, old man, let me ask you, why is the store so deserted, there is not even a single customer, and besides, is this store just you?" Xiaohe knew what Zhang Yi was going to say, so he asked what he wanted to know on behalf of Zhang Yi.

The old man Zhang Xiangu was silent for a moment and told the reason for the incident.

In the past two days, many strangers with powerful potential have come to Nancheng, there are more than 20 people, because the existence of these people has occupied almost the entire Fang Market in Nancheng, so that those buyers dare not blatantly come to the store to buy spirit fruits. ”

"As for these strangers, any one of them has the strength to spy on the submarine, and among these people there are three masters of the hidden control, two of them tried to take the position of the city lord, but they did not succeed, and the other one is the hidden control, eyeing our Zhang family's Chamber of Commerce, plotting against the enemy, and the outsiders seem to have premeditated plans!"

The old man Zhang Xiangu poured Zhang Yi a cup of tea, then sat opposite Zhang Yi and said slowly.

"Oh?" Zhang Yi asked suspiciously: "Take the position of the city lord?" It is rumored that the city lord is a master of the hidden control of the three courts, how much ability can this outsider have to dare to challenge the city lord?

The young master said slowly. ”

Zhang Xiangu organized his words and said: "The city lord didn't say it in advance, but the other four major families are much deeper than our Zhang family, and they all have hidden control, and our Zhang family, only your father's patriarch and the great elder, are just sneaking for nine days, and the four major families have not made any moves on the surface, but behind the scenes, our Zhang family has been suppressed by the other four families, and the business is not as good as day by day, or it won't be long before it will be replaced by the other four families......"

Zhang Xiangu said this, Zhang Yi suddenly realized, no wonder the Zhang family was in tension, and even his mother was busy.

"Now that there is another latent control master, the crisis that our family is facing now is weak!"

Listening to Zhang Xiangu's narration, Zhang Yi gradually understood the situation of the family, originally thought that there was a relationship behind his younger brother, and the family would survive the crisis, but he didn't expect that far water could not quench the thirst, after all, Zhang Bo was far away in the wilderness, and the four major families were afraid of the Zhang family, and they didn't dare to act openly, the reason was Zhang Bo, so he was reluctant to do it, but this hidden control master, after all, is an outsider, and he has no worries about doing things, so he has today's scene!

"Why are you the only one left in the store?, are there no other people?" Zhang Yi felt very strange and asked.

Thinking of the family's current crisis, Zhang Yi frowned, and saw that only the shopkeeper was left in the entire store, Zhang Yi had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Hey, this is the most prosperous place, and it is also one of the largest stores in our family, naturally there are a lot of people, just when you came not long ago, that outsider sneaked in and snatched the medium-grade spirit fruit in our store, and the four elders led all the guards in the store to the East Street to ask for it!" Hearing Zhang Yi's words, the old man sighed and sighed at the ignorance of the four elders.

As soon as the old man's words fell, before Zhang Yi could ask the fourth uncle how he dared to ask the hidden control master, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs.

Zhang Yi shifted his gaze and looked through the window at the street and the door of the store, only to see more than forty or fifty big men, all of whom broke in fiercely.

Before Zhang Yi and the others could speak, a young man's words came from downstairs.

"Where is the Zhang family?"

Listening to the voice, Zhang Xiangu, who was sitting in front of Zhang Yi, frowned, and his face instantly became embarrassed.

"The eldest young master will wait here for a while, and let the old man go down to deal with it!" Zhang Xiangu finished speaking, and without waiting for Zhang Yi to speak, he stood up and walked downstairs.

Zhang Yi, who was sitting above, could only see the street outside, but couldn't see downstairs. He listened to Zhang Xiangu's words, sat down, thought about it alone, and felt that his premonition was about to be faced.

Xiao He looked at Zhang Yi's indifferent look, and was worried that something would happen below, risking Zhang Yi's dissatisfaction, he cautiously reminded: "Young master, this group of people is not good, I'm afraid that this old man can't deal with it, why don't we go back to the family first?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Yi came back to his senses, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and said, "It's okay, depending on the situation, and then adapt to the situation." ”

Seeing Zhang Yi say this, Xiaohe didn't dare to say anything, so he had to pray to God to bless them with safety.

Not long after, the shopkeeper went down the stairs and saw many big men standing in the store with big knives, led by a young man of about thirteen or fourteen, followed by an old man who had just entered his fifties.

"Hehe, who should I be so bold, it turns out to be Elder Jiang, and Gongzi Jiang! I don't know what wind blew you here, it really made the old man's shop shine!" Zhang Xiangu looked at the people opposite with unkind faces, and still said with a smile.

The young man standing in front of him was quite handsome and well-dressed, but there was a sarcastic arc on the corner of his mouth, which made people look uncomfortable.

"Old man, depending on how long you pretend, if you know each other, hand over all the medium-grade spirit fruits and gold coins, and spare your dog's life! If you dare to say a word, you will definitely be spattered on the spot!" The young master of the Jiang family, holding a long sword in his hand, pointed at the shopkeeper Zhang Xiangu and scolded.

The old man standing next to the young master of the Jiang family, listening to his grandson's words, nodded secretly, and looked at his grandson doing this, looking like a child who could be taught and relieved.

"The Jiang family's discipline is really different!" Zhang Xiangu said mockingly.

"Don't bother Elder Zhang if it's different, as long as you hand over your belongings, the old man won't make a move with you!" The old man named Elder Jiang on the other side said with a clear persuasion.

"I want to take away the spirit fruit gold coins in this store, I am a fool and a dream, as long as the old man still has a breath of air, he will never let you wait here to do anything wrong!" Hearing the young master of the Jiang clan say such evil words, Zhang Xiangu put away his smile and became stronger.
