Chapter 30: Wu Bancheng
Lu Shengzu, the head of the Lu family, cultivates at the seventh level of the Diyuan Realm, and the family tradition of the "Angry Dragon Knife" can be cultivated to the Grandmaster Realm, and there are two other sixth-layer worshippers in the family, three or four fifth-layer elders, and seven core clansmen on the fourth layer......
The Lu family has more than 30 shops of all kinds in Shengyun Mansion, most of which are located in Dongcheng, but the core is the two industries of timber and aquatic products, which are almost completely monopolized by it;
Huang Yuanxi, the head of the Huang family, is also the seventh-layer cultivator of the Yuan Realm, and the family tradition is "Breaking the Sky Fist", which is also a long-standing grandmaster exercise, and other strengths are equivalent to the Lu family, and the "sphere of influence" is mostly concentrated in Xicheng, his family has the largest chariot and horse battle in Fucheng, and the cloth line also has a ninety percent share;
Wu Qianyuan, the head of the Wu family, the grandmaster!
No need to make more introduction, these two words contain a lot of power, is the only grandmaster of the three, since he became a grandmaster, the Wu family's industry has gradually expanded from the original medicinal materials and pawnshops to all aspects, known as "Wu Bancheng"!
These three families account for almost all the money-making industries in Shengyun Mansion, and some other small families can only rely on them and be exploited by them.
The prince of the palace, he himself is also a grandmaster, and his background is even deeper, but he rarely interferes in the affairs of the outside of the palace, and usually restricts his family, and acts as "low-key".
In addition, there is an old slave waiting by his side, although he has not shown his strength in front of people, but it is faintly fearful, and he is not low in cultivation......
..................
Xu Mo listened quietly while drinking tea, he was well versed in the way of conversation, most of the time he was a good listener, and from time to time he asked some questions about the details, so that he could not only find out the truth of the other party, but also get more information, and the result was not beyond his expectations, whether it was the Huanglu family or the Wu family, to have the current family business, naturally it was not gentle and thrifty, their former partners, either disappeared, or became vassals, to cooperate with them is no different from seeking skin with the tiger.
Another thing that surprised him was that Mo Lin, the Mo family where he was located, although he could not gain a foothold in Shengyun Mansion, but because he occupied such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack hill as Moyun Village, there were several fifth- and sixth-layer warriors in the Diyuan Realm.
After talking about the Mo family, Mrs. Song took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and her heart was happy, but she didn't know how long it had been since she had spoken so happily with someone, but immediately it was a rin again, and she had spoken so much unconsciously!
Looking at Xu Mo at this time, she was obviously a young man, but she had a disproportionate mature bearing, which surprised her, but she had talked about everything, and it was not detailed to the core information, and she didn't take it to heart, but just said in a flattering manner: "I'm tired of the concubine's body!
Xu Mo couldn't help but follow her hand to look at the soft place where the white and greasy skin was exposed, and quickly withdrew his gaze, and then arched his hand: "Thank you Madame for solving my doubts - Madame is done, it's time to relieve Madame's worries next!"
For Xu Mo's eyes just now, Mrs. Song was a little weird, the kind of eyes that looked generously, touched and left, and seemed to have a clear understanding of the outline in the clothes really didn't seem to be what a person of his age should have, and at this time Xu Mo had already stood up, she also gathered her clothes and stood up, if Xu Mo really had a way to heal those girls, and then she could get a way, I am afraid it would become a great achievement for her!
........................
Shengyun Mansion due to the topography, the whole presents a deformed oblique "box" shape, in which the position of the government and the palace is located is about the "one" place under the person, and then about ten miles ahead, it is basically to the "mouth" terrain where it is, it is the central boundary of the city, and the courtyard group of the Wu family covering an area of 200 acres is in the west of here.
Not long after Xu Mo returned to Baihuaxuan, a man in disheveled clothes and his face was flushed with excitement and hurriedly ran towards the Wu Mansion, but when he arrived at the gate of the Third Courtyard, he was stopped by the Guardian Courtyard and shouted: "Steward Sun stays, you are also an old man in the mansion, can you break in here casually?"
Steward Sun's face was anxious, and he stomped his feet and said: "I have an urgent matter to see the master, this matter cannot be delayed, you should go to the ceremony quickly!"
The nurse frowned, motioned for the other to come in and say goodbye, and then took him in a long time.
Steward Sun looked at the courtyard planted with a giant tree like a canopy, but was led to another way, into a three-story small building, and when he saw the young man sitting behind the table, the disappointment on his face flashed, and then said respectfully: "I've seen the second young master!"
The second young master of the Wu Mansion behind the table put down the account book in his hand, looked at Steward Sun with a smile, and said, "The master is now discussing matters with the prince of the palace, you can tell me first if you have something!"
Steward Sun sighed in his heart, if this matter was directly told to Wu Qianyuan, it might be a great achievement, but now he can't, he can only tell the second young master first: "Second young master, just two quarters of an hour ago, the third young master of the Lu family and the sixth young lady of the Huang family appeared together in the three-fire knife shop in the half-acre forest, and each bought half of the knives - the small one is also in charge of the affairs of the two families, and when he saw that this matter was suspicious, he hurried back to report it......"
The second young master's eyes froze, he leaned forward, stared at Steward Sun, and said in an inexplicable voice with hatred and anger: "What! You will tell everything about this matter in detail!"
Being stared at by him, Steward Sun's mouth was a little dry, but his heart was pounding, as one of the stewards of the Wu Mansion, although no one said some rumors, he naturally heard about it, otherwise he would not have found out about it and rushed back like a fire - now it seems that those rumors are likely to be true!
Afraid that the second young master would find out what he was thinking, he lowered his head, stabilized his mind, and said respectfully: "Two quarters of an hour ago, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old went to the Three Fire Knife Shop to buy a knife, and then first the Third Young Master of the Lu family and his escort Shang Yong appeared in the Three Fire Knife Shop, and then Miss Huang Liu and Han Qi also arrived immediately......"
After listening carefully to him, the second young master frowned and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Where is that young man now?" Where did he come from...... Have you investigated his situation?"
Steward Sun bowed lower, he wanted to be more detailed, for example, he had already learned that Xu Mo was from the Jianghu pawnshop, but he didn't dare to touch those secrets, so he replied honestly: "After hearing about it, I hurried back to report, I don't know the specific situation, but I have found out that he seems to be in Baihuaxuan." ”
The second young master frowned and asked, "Baihuaxuan?"
As the second young master of the Wu Mansion, he knows a little about Baihuaxuan's background, at least Wu Qianyuan must have mentioned him.
Steward Sun replied: "Yes, if the young master wants to see him, he can be 'invited' over at any time!"
The second young master leaned back, paused for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that the young man didn't buy anything in the end?"
Steward Sun bowed down and said: "The little one has already asked the surrounding shops, and the young man really doesn't have anything on his hand, as for whether there is anything on his hand, the little one has already asked people to invite the shopkeeper of the store, just ask!"
The second young master nodded and said, "You have done a good job in this matter, that person, you should pay attention to the person first, first go to the shopkeeper of the store to ask the specific situation, and be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble, do you understand what I mean?"
Steward Sun was excited in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes!"
........................
Xu Mo would never have thought that everything he had done had been discovered so quickly by someone with a heart and had been targeted, but it didn't matter, that night, he and Fang Dongming left Fucheng in Baihuaxuan's car to Yancheng.
The woodcutter was already in his hand.
