7. A little thing
He roughly told Huang Chang about today's events, but the latter didn't pay attention to it at all, and only asked casually:
"Who is behind that 'Master Xiong'?"
"I heard that he is the housekeeper of the Baohou Mansion, and he has always had a reputation for being greedy and tyrannical. β
ββBaonan County is the territory under the jurisdiction of the princes, and the lord is the Marquis of Bao, surnamed Him, from the Xiahou clan, which is a bloodline of the ancient royal family that is older than Yin Shang. The name of Baonan County comes from the "South of Baoguo".
In the past, the Zhou Dynasty invaded the merchants, and the Marquis took the lead in following it, which was regarded as a positive example among the princes, so after the success, it was not only able to survive the national lineage, but also allowed the right to Yongzhen. For so many years, although the Great Zhou court always tried to weaken the local princes, the territory and power of the past dynasties were basically unchanged.
Of course, if the court does not look for trouble, it does not mean that everything is fine, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters always have to be borne by themselves. The fact that this ancient family has been passed down to this day must have its own strengths. The ancient royal family must be a great power to cultivate immortals, and even if the Hi clan declines, the ancestors will leave something behind. Even powerful immortal cultivators may not be willing to provoke, let alone ordinary people.
If the steward of the Baohou Mansion is closely related to the contemporary Baohou, he can indeed have a lot of power. It may also have quite a lot of strength in its own right, and it does sound quite scary. But the younger brother of the servant of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion...... These are completely different things.
After learning the details of the other party, Huang Chang nodded:
"Okay, I see. Since it's our own shop, and Cousin Ashi is presiding over it, of course his business is my business - I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it. β
Since Huang Chang said so, Huang Xu was also relieved. His third brother has had great ideas since he was a child, and the words he said and the promises he made could basically be fulfilled unless he really encountered force majeure.
And with his current ability, if there is a force that is "irresistible" to him, it must not be something that a few hooligans can have.
So Huang Xu rested with peace of mind, but before he left, Huang Chang made a rather strange request:
"The clothes you wore during the fight today haven't been washed yet, have you? β
Huang Xu was a little surprised, but he still went to get his clothes. After Huang Chang took it, he didn't do anything, so he sent him to rest directly.
After Huang Xu left, Huang Chang stayed alone in his room - since moving to a new home, the space in the house has increased a lot. actually reserved an independent small yard for his third son, who had been away from home for a long time.
But this may be because he has attached the most importance to having his own "independent space" since he was a child, and the family must remember this. At that time, even if the fourth child and the eldest were allowed to squeeze into a room together, they would give him a separate room. For his pedantic father, who has always attached importance to the morality of the elders and the young, and the law of order and etiquette, it can be said to be a big concession.
Thinking of the old things, Huang Chang couldn't help but feel a warm emotion in his heart, but can the small family that was once warm and harmonious, and forgave each other continue to exist? Now that the number of members of the family has increased, the scale has expanded, but this is only the beginning. If it is to be expanded into a "family" in the future, more people will inevitably join in, and more new members will be accepted, and ...... Generate more contradictions.
Can their own families adapt to this? They were just ordinary people. Father, mother, siblings...... They don't have the experience of their past lives, nor have they experienced the test and fierce struggle of wealth and power, and they are suddenly given great strength, and the power and responsibility that comes with it, can they adapt?
Huang Chang hesitated again.
............
Of course, although there was some hesitation in his heart, it would not affect his actions. Anyway, no matter what, to improve the overall family level and train the fourth brother Huang Xu to become an immortal cultivator, this part of the strategy will definitely not change. In addition, the safety of the home should also be ensured.
Huang Chang pondered for a moment, then walked to the middle of the courtyard and silently calmed down. Let go of the mind, and the powerful divine consciousness and spiritual sense silently covered the entire Huang family compound, and several surrounding households were also "scanned" together.
If it was a place where immortal cultivators gathered, it would be very impolite for him to do so, and he would even be suspected of provocation. But ordinary mortals are not aware of it at all. Instead, a few cats that were playing and meowing happily on the wall suddenly stopped making noises and looked around with wide eyes. The watchdogs of these families also stood up at once, and one of the most ferocious ones barked twice, but was immediately frightened by the ensuing mental impact and shut up, clamped his tail, and hid at the base of the wall and shivered. Including the surrounding insects and birds, all stopped at this moment - animals can be more sensitive than ordinary people in judging danger.
Huang Chang "scanned" the surroundings to confirm that there was nothing prominent or obstructive in the vicinity. However, I heard that many people in the family were secretly talking about him, including his parents, relatives, and servants. This is human nature, and he is not interested in eavesdropping on other people's private conversations, so after confirming that there is no abnormal phenomenon in the house, he put away his divine thoughts, and no longer uses extraordinary power to expand his five senses.
Then there is one more thing left, he promised his brother - after confirming that there was no one around, Huang Chang released a large coffin from the Qiankun ring, which was the yin box where the corpse servant was stored. After that, he rolled his eyes and separated a wisp of spirit in the coffin, so he saw that the lid of the coffin was pushed open by itself, and the "Senior Brother Yao" with pale skin and red eyes slowly sat up from the coffin......
If anyone in the Huang family saw this scene at this time, they would definitely be frightened and scattered--Huang Laosan had cultivated the evil law! Is he really worshipping Kunlun Mountain? It will definitely take a lot of trouble to explain it when the time comes. Fortunately, no such accident happened, and Huang Chang did not dare to delay. He picked up the clothes left by Huang Xu and threw it to "Senior Brother Yao" to sniff. Or to be more precise: it was the spirit of the corpse demon that remembered the breath of the living person left on this dress.
"Go ahead...... No, no, no, it's not him, it's someone else!"
Huang Chang ordered in a low voice, and the corpse demon immediately ran towards Huang Xu's courtyard - Huang Xu's own aura was the strongest. Huang Chang hurriedly corrected the instruction. This time, there was no mistake, and the corpse demon silently climbed over the courtyard wall and headed towards the east of the city.
"Immortal revenge, from morning till night...... Hehe, we're also decisive people!"
Huang Chang muttered in a low voice, he was not interested in waiting for the gang of hooligans to come back and make trouble for him before he fought back. It is easiest to eliminate their "danger" directly.
Of course, Huang Laosi was beaten during the day, and the perpetrator was retaliated against at night, which inevitably attracted the attention of people with a heart. But Huang Chang doesn't care, to some extent, he needs such a "murderous name".
ββThe next day, a piece of news spread in the gang circles in Baonan City: Zhao Boss, the leader of the green-skinned gangsters in Dongcheng, and several of his most effective thugs were attacked by masters at the same time last night, and all of them were broken.
