At noon, it rained heavily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This should be the first shower in Qinghua County after the summer, it comes and goes quickly, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder, and in about a quarter of an hour, the rain curtain will move to the south and disappear soon.

The sky overhead, blue as a wash, and over the valley to the northeast, a rainbow hung obliquely, like an arched bridge.

The cool breeze swept through the low stones to form a courtyard wall, rushed into the small courtyard, and hit Gu Xiaozhao who was standing on the veranda under the eaves, the hem of his clothes floated slightly, and the hunting sounded.

Gu Xiaozhao pursed his lips slightly, looking into the distance.

The courtyard wall is not high, and the place where he is is is high again, and the line of sight is cast out unobstructed, and in addition to the rainbow hanging high on the valley in the distance, there is still continuous verdant, and the undulating curves meander to outline a beautiful landscape.

Looking back, there were a few farmhouses, a few jungles, and sometimes uneven terraces in between, and a little farther away, the sound of the water coming from the stream that passed through the farmstead, and a bluestone paved path through the woods, bypassing the farmhouse, to the courtyard.

This farm is located more than ten miles outside Qinghua County, and it is a Gu family property.

Two days ago, because of the dispute over the ownership of the mine, Xujia Village, which was in partnership with the Gu family, broke out and wanted to snatch the property rights of the Gu family, and issued an ultimatum to the Gu family through the so-called intermediary, that is, the county magistrate of Qinghua County, to negotiate in three days.

At the beginning, Xujiacun unilaterally proposed that the venue for negotiations be in Xujiacun, that is, in the mountainous area more than 50 miles away from Qinghua County.

There, it is the territory of the Xu family, there are hundreds of strong men who are proficient in hunting skills and martial arts, for Gu Xiaozhao, it is not a good place, if you go there to negotiate, the time and place are favorable, and everyone will lose, there is not much that can be done, and the ending is probably not good.

In this regard, Gu Xiaozhao naturally did not allow it.

After obtaining this information, on the one hand, he continued to send people to inquire about the inside story of the matter, wanting to find out the behind-the-scenes forces standing behind Xujiacun, the so-called confidant knows that the other party can talk about others, and on the other hand, he entrusted Tianhe Daochang as an intermediary and came forward to stand up for himself.

At the beginning, the agreement signed by Gu Xiaozhao and Tianhe Daochang was very simple.

First of all, it was a pure money transaction, and it took three thousand taels of silver to buy an inner family mind method called Three Thousand Purple Galaxy, the most important thing in this heart method is a volume that was carefully drawn by the master of the dojo, Gong Xue, who spent half a year consuming true qi and mind, with this volume of qi diagram, concentrating and calming the mind and contemplating it, there is a certain chance of inducing qi into the body, leaving a true qi seed in the sea of dantian qi.

The second agreement is that Gu Xiaozhao spent another batch of silver to recruit a group of disciples from Tianhe Daochang to protect his own courtyard, and distribute money and food every month, which is not a master-servant relationship between each other, but a very simple recruitment, just like an inn restaurant recruiting a chef or a junior second.

Among them, Song Dazhi, who is the third master of Tianhe Daochang, also entered the Gu Mansion and took on the position of the Gu family's worship, he does not need to eat and live in the Gu family like Luo Changyuan, and usually stays in his own house and Tianhe Daochang, and the position of worship is just a name, the meaning is very simple, on behalf of the Tianhe Dao Field stands behind Gu Xiaozhao, just like a tiger leaving a breath on the mountain, which is equivalent to telling other fierce beasts that this is the hunting territory of this tiger, and they are not allowed to enter in vain.

The employment contracts of those people, including the position of Song Dazhi, were officially established through the Yaxing, which was endorsed by the government for both parties, and was a formal employment agreement.

However, after the mine incident, from the standpoint of Tianhe Daochang, this matter can also choose to stand by and watch.

Only those men who signed the employment agreement can't get rid of it, and they must obey Gu Xiaozhao's orders, after all, although they are from Tianhe Daochang, they are now the Gu family's nursing home, and if they eat the Gu family's food, they will serve the Gu family, if they don't comply, they must tear up the agreement.

If there is no accident, this kind of person who has no integrity may not have other family employment in the future, so when the matter comes, none of those newcomers quit.

However, they are them, and the Tianhe River Field is the Tianhe River Field.

Even if Song Dazhi, the third master of Tianhe Dao Field, is worshiped by the Gu family, Tianhe Dao Field can also choose to withdraw, of course, they will have to pay a huge price for doing so.

This shows that Tianhe Daochang chose to admit it, gave up the hunting ground, and gave up the sphere of influence that had already been eaten into his mouth.

A county lieutenant, even if he is a wealthy family behind him, will not let Tianhe Daochang choose to lose his own signboard.

Therefore, after Gu Xiaozhao spent another sum of silver, Tianhe Daochang chose to intervene and became the intermediary of the Gu family, acting on behalf of Gu Xiaozhao, and found the intermediary of Xujia Village, and after a period of negotiation with the county governor, the location of the negotiation between the two sides was changed.

The new negotiation site chosen is this farm, the farmland and mountains and forests within a radius of more than ten miles are the Gu family's industry, more than ten families living here are tenant farmers of the Gu family, and the small courtyard where Gu Xiaozhao is located is where the master's family is.

Tomorrow is the day of negotiations!

Now, the houses of the farm are full of some strong men with weapons, and even a few people are quietly carrying bows and crossbows, the original residents have left, and they have been arranged by Gu Xiaozhao to stay in the city mansion, and they can only return home after the matter is here.

Among these people, most of the nursing homes are elderly, and those new nursing homes did not come with Gu Xiaozhao, on the other hand, Luo Changchang was sent out by Gu Xiaozhao and sent to Xujia Village to lead people from Xujia Village, in a way, this is not to involve the other party too much.

Luo Changchang is not here, plus some time ago, Gu Xiaozhao relied on the name of the main family, and there were all big sticks and carrots, most of these martial artists were subdued by him, and for a while, morale could be relied on. Of course, if you encounter any force majeure, or if you are killed or injured, your morale will drop sharply, and you may collapse in an instant.

A momentary emotional upsurge is vain and nothing!

When the wind blows, fallen leaves fall from in front of you, dancing up and down with the wind, and falling in front of the court.

There was a sound of footsteps in the wind, the sound of unhurried footsteps, and the occasional clicking sound of the soles of shoes stepping on fallen leaves and dead branches.

A figure appeared in front of Gu Xiaozhao, in his thirties, dressed in green clothes, with three long strands of beard on his chin, swaying lightly in the wind, this person was Song Dazhi.

It was Song Dazhi who came to the farm with Gu Xiaozhao, and Su Qiaoer did not accompany her, so she was left in the city to take charge of the rear.

Song Dazhi commanded the unfamiliar old people, and let Su Qiao'er manage the newly joined nursing home, which was Gu Xiaozhao's way of commanding.

"Third Uncle, what's the matter?"

Gu Xiaozhao looked at Song Dazhi, who was walking unhurriedly, and a smile appeared on his face.
