Chapter 24 Deals

The Zhang's house sits on the flat bottom of the halfway point of the Dog's Head Mountain, some distance from the steep and steep cliffs, so there is no danger of mudslides, even if the cliff is a huge rock that looks like a knife, with little soil and a lot of vegetation.

The big house is located at the highest point in Doghead Town, and there is no other building in the town that can surpass it.

The meeting hall of the Zhang family is located on a large rock, it is a thatched hall that sticks out of the mountainside, and there are large windows on all four walls, if there is no storm, it will be open, and the scenery is very good.

Sitting in the hall to discuss matters, no need to probe outward, no matter from what angle, you can have a clear view of the town's scenery, giving people a feeling of being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance.

That's the magic of power!

Zhang Yufeng sat in his place, leaning back against a chair made of hollow carved boxwood, the chair was cushioned, and he sat very comfortably.

There are more than a dozen similar chairs, which were specially made by craftsmen in the state city, and they are now all arranged in the council hall, arranged in a staggered manner around a rectangular table.

The chair under Zhang Yufeng's buttocks is higher than the other chairs, plus the soft cushions, so it is higher, sitting on it, looking around, it is obviously a head taller than others, which also gives people a feeling of superiority.

Now, Zhang Yufeng was sitting in his special seat, his hands on the table, his body leaned forward slightly, his eyes were like a sword, and he fell on Luo Yuanyuan, who was sitting opposite the long table.

The entire council hall was divided into two groups, and sat clearly around the two ends of the long table.

The two sides did not sit on either side of the long table, but sat at opposite ends of the long table, which was five feet long.

The distance of five zhang can be regarded as a safe distance for the master of the inner family who has opened up Xiao Zhoutian.

Under normal circumstances, even if you have bad intentions and want to raid the other party, it is difficult to rush up in a very short time from this five-zhang distance, which will give the target some time to buffer and prepare, although this time is not long, it is enough for a master of the house.

The two sides are clearly distinguished, and the atmosphere in the council hall is not good, although it is not tense, but it is also inseparable from the word tension.

These two groups of people, the one with more people is naturally the Zhang family as the master.

In addition to the patriarch Zhang Yufeng, there is also Zhang Yutang, who is in charge of the affairs of Goutou Town and is now serving as the mayor of the town, this person is Zhang Yufeng's younger brother, ranked thirty-two in the Zhang family, and is the master of the Zhang family's reputation. When Zhang Yutang was young, he once worshiped the Thirteen Mountains, and practiced hard for more than ten years before coming down the mountain.

After all, in a radius of thousands of miles in Qinghua County, the Thirteen Mountains are the most powerful martial arts sects, among them, there are countless Qimen masters, and in the entire Jiangnan territory, they can be regarded as on the list.

It's just that the Thirteen Mountains are different from the general martial arts sects, and they are not very tightly organized, and the entire organizational system is relatively loose, but an alliance composed of several martial arts sects, and there is no centralized power, but a loose federation, and the emphasis is on equivalent exchange, how much you pay, how much you get.

In a word, as long as you pay a certain price, you can worship the Thirteen Mountains, and the more you pay, the more resources you get, and everything is business.

Therefore, a character like Zhang Yutang, even if he comes from the Thirteen Mountains, the Thirteen Mountains cannot be relied on, if he wants to ask the brothers of the Thirteen Mountains to help, he also has to pay a certain price, perhaps, for the sake of the former brothers, this price will be discounted to a certain extent.

A guy like Zhang Yutang, if he is killed by outsiders, the Thirteen Mountains will not avenge him, unless, the Zhang family of Kotou Town pays a certain price to go to the exchange of the Thirteen Mountains to make a dark flower, otherwise, if he dies, he will die, and no one will come to avenge him for the so-called friendship of the same family.

Although the negotiation location is located in the Zhang family meeting hall in Goutou Town, the only Zhang family members on this side are Zhang Yufeng and Zhang Yutang, and in addition, they are the characters of Xujia Village and the Xi family in Qixia County.

On behalf of the Xi family, it was not the Zhang family's son-in-law, Xi Qingsong, the new county governor, who came forward, but his brother Xi Chenggong.

Although Xi Chenggong also practiced the inner family exercises, because of his talent, he failed to get through Xiao Zhoutian after 20 years of cultivation, and now, he is also responsible for handling the mundane affairs of the Xi family.

There are four people in the Xi family, in addition to Xi Chenggong, there are three guards, and the one who can really come in handy is a middle-aged man who looks no different from the other two, this guy named Kong San is an ordinary looking guy, who is also from the Thirteen Mountains.

There is a good saying, the poor are rich in martial arts, and the resources required for martial arts practice are extremely huge, even if it is a small family, it is difficult to supply, take the Zhang family as an example, even if it occupies the entire dog head town, even if it makes money every day, the entire Zhang family can really worship only two or three internal martial artists.

The qualifications of Zhang Yufeng and Zhang Yutang are similar, but back then, they could only send Zhang Yutang, who was a little more talented, to the Thirteen Mountains, for the simple reason that with the wealth of the Zhang family, they could only support one person at that time.

To this day, Zhang Yufeng still has some resentment about this.

Even if he has become the patriarch of the Zhang family, even if he relies on his personal talent and hard work, of course, more importantly, luck, his practice of the Black Tiger Gong of the Zhang family's secret transmission has also opened up Xiao Zhoutian to become a master of the inner family, however, how can an ordinary exercise like the Black Tiger Gong be compared with a strange sect like a thousand miles of yellow sand!

The inner family heart method is also divided into high and low, divided into four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, each level has a top, middle and lower division, like the Black Tiger Gong, the secret practice of the Zhang family, that is, the yellow level, although thousands of miles of yellow sand is the lower grade of the Xuan level, but it is also the Xuan level!

Compared with the Xuan-level exercises and the yellow-level exercises, the progress of cultivation is very different for the same person and the same time, and more importantly, the lethality of the two is nothing more than comparison.

The martial artist from the Thirteen Mountains beside Xi Chenggong was not an ordinary son of a poor family, and Kong San's family back then was also a wealthy family, no worse than the Zhang family.

The reason why he fell into this place is that there is an unspeakable secret, the family has offended the big people who can't be offended, and he has suffered from the destruction of the family.

After escaping by luck, he had to change his name and surname, wandered around the rivers and lakes, and finally joined the Xi family.

In the beginning, it was just luck that I was able to escape with my life.

Now, this one has become a frightened bird, acting very cautiously, but he is willing to abandon the so-called shame, and would rather pretend to be an ordinary guard, which shows the great impact of that incident on him at the beginning.

In addition to these two, another Xujia village in the Iron Triangle is also represented here.

There are three people in Xujia Village, two strong men in rags and fur, with bows on their shoulders, quivers hanging from their waists, and steel knives in their hands, with dark complexions, full beards, hair as hard as steel needles, big shoulders and round waists, looking fierce and vicious.

However, the real person in charge of Xujia Village is an old man in a shirt.

Xu Qingyuan is the village chief of Xujia Village, and his eldest grandson cultivates in that sect in the north, so although he is only rough, he also serves as the village head.

This Xu Qingyuan has a nickname, and is called the black fox by others.

Among the three, Xujiacun has the worst combat effectiveness, but it is lacking.

After all, only Xujiacun came forward to negotiate with the Gu family, this is the name, the name of this thing, as long as your strength is not strong enough to crush everything and ignore everything, you can only respect this thing, so that there are rules at all.

For the wealthy family, the rules are shackles, and they are also a membrane to protect their own family.

If there are no rules in the world, only the naked law of the jungle, as long as you are a person who has never transcended everything, most of you don't like such an environment.

The Zhang family, the Xi family, and the Xujia village are on one side, and there are three masters in the hall.

On the other side of the confrontation, there were only three people, Gu Xiaozhao's steward Luo Yuanyuan, and a middle-aged martial artist from the Gu family's main sect, and the other was a young man in his early twenties, with four black characters embroidered on the white belt around his waist, Tianhe Dao Field.

These three people represent the Gu family's main sect and the Tianhe River Channel.

At the beginning, they had already excluded Gu Xiaozhao, and in the plans of these people, Gu Xiaozhao was already a dead man at this time.

Since the morning, the two sides have been negotiating in this chamber, and even if it is lunch, they have been brought in. After several hours of verbal rhetoric, deterrence, fraud, falsehood and intimidation, and so-called reasoning with facts, a consensus was finally reached, only some small details have not been discussed, and it will take some time to discuss.

At this time, everyone was already tired, and the details were put aside, and they would discuss it in detail after a while.

The reason why they didn't disperse, but still sat together drinking tea and chatting, and continued to try, was just waiting for someone, waiting for a message.

The person they were waiting for was Song Dazhi.

Five years ago, Gu Xiaozhao's parents signed an agreement with the government and spent a lot of money to buy the mountain range where the jade mine was located, and Gu Xiaozhao kept the title deed, which was Gu Xiaozhao's righteousness.

Although Xujia Village signed an agreement with the Gu family, the part of the mine production belonged to Xujia Village, and the absenteeism of mining was mostly used by people from nearby Xujia Village, however, the mine was not owned by the Xu family, and Xujia Village did not have the title deed of that place.

From a legal point of view, if Gu Xiaozhao unfortunately dies, his family business will belong to the Gu family's own sect.

There is only one premise, that is, Gu Xiaozhao died.

The three parties of the Zhang family, the Xi family, and Xujiacun are united, and they are ready to force Gu Xiaozhao to sign a new agreement, even if they don't send the title deed of the mine, they also want to occupy a large share in the name of Xujiacun, especially the chalcedony produced, which must occupy most of it.

They have this confidence, after all, Gu Xiaozhao has only one Luo Yuanyuan with two hearts by his side.

It's a pity that Luo Yuanyuan finally represented the Gu family's sect, and he was accompanied by a steward of the Gu family's sect, and in addition, there were still people from the Tianhe River Sect who came forward.

In this way, the previous plans of the Zhang family and others also fell through.

Of course, even if the Gu family inherited Gu Xiaozhao's property, even if it had the support of the Tianhe River Farm, they had to make certain concessions, after all, these three families were not good people.

Now that the approximate conditions have been discussed, only the last one is needed.

They are waiting for Song Dazhi, calculating the time, and they should also go to Goutou Town.
