"No!

Su Qiao'er clasped her hands around her chest, the sunlight passed through the treetops and leaves overhead, and the dappled light and shadow fell on her face, she pursed her lips tightly, her expression was firm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of her, in the sun, stood several people.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward walked back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and as soon as Su Qiaoer's words fell, he immediately let out a wail.

"Miss Qiao'er, the stakes are very high! once this matter is not handled well, the entire Gu family may be wiped out and cease to exist...... Please also ask Miss Qiao'er to go and inform the young master quickly, this matter can only be handled by the young master!"

The steward's eyes were red and he looked anxious.

Su Qiao'er stopped talking, and panic flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she still didn't agree to that one's persuasion, and still shook her head stubbornly.

"Alas!"

The steward gave up his intention to persuade Su Qiao'er, he rolled up his sleeves and strode forward, preparing to enter the small courtyard behind Su Qiao'er, and while doing so, he said loudly.

"Miss Qiao'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, let Lao Meng go to meet the young master in person, if there is anything wrong, Lao Meng will bear it!"

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a pout.

Su Qiao'er took half a step back, let go of her hands, hung down on the outside of her legs, two short blades appeared in her hands, and then pulled two beautiful knife flowers, and the bright tip of the knife was aimed at the chest of the steward surnamed Meng, stopping the other party's advance.

"Uncle Meng, Qiao'er only knows that the young master has orders, without his permission, no one is allowed to disturb him, Qiao'er just obeys orders, if Uncle Meng wants to break in, Qiao'er can't recognize Uncle Meng with these two swords!"

"You!"

Steward Meng pointed at Su Qiao'er, his fingers trembled slightly, and his face was red with anger, like a patient with a cerebral hemorrhage.

Eventually, he sighed and sat down on a stone bench under the tree.

At this time, a group of people walked in from outside the courtyard, and the person at the head was Luo Yuanyuan, the head of the Gu family's nursing home, who saw Steward Meng and said with a smile.

"Brother Meng, when did you go back to the city? Why don't you come to find my brother for a drink or two? Why are you angry with our Qiao'er girl here......

Seeing Luo Yuanyuan, Meng Zhaonan seemed to see his relatives' children again after being separated in the lantern market, and he jumped up suddenly.

"Boss Luo, you're just in time!"

Then, he grabbed Luo Yuanyuan's shoulder and said anxiously.

On the other side, after seeing Luo Changyuan, Su Qiao'er's alarm bell rang for a long time, and she hurriedly winked at a little guy and gave the other party a look.

The little guy understood, and while everyone's attention was on Meng Zhaonan and Luo Yuanyuan, he quietly withdrew from the crowd and disappeared outside the door.

At this time, Meng Zhaonan explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly in a few words.

Speaking of which, let's first talk about Meng Zhaonan's identity.

In the Gu family, his status is only under Su Zhiwei, who is Su Qiao'er's father, and as the second housekeeper of the Gu family, he is generally the same as Luo Changyuan, the head of the nursing home, but as the second housekeeper, he rarely stays in the Gu Mansion in Qinghua County, but in Luolaifeng, fifty miles southwest of Qinghua County.

The Gu family has many businesses in Qinghua County, and there are also farms outside Qinghua County, and even two or three shops in the state city.

However, these are not the roots of the family.

If there are only these industries, there may still be some people who covet the family's house, but they will not mobilize the whole family, and they will not hesitate to tarnish their reputation, and they will have to swallow these industries.

If there are only these industries, the Gu family can't afford to hire so many nurses, when Su Zhiwei is still there, there are two masters of the inner family, this is still not counting Gu Xiaozhao's parents, you know, even the Tianhe River Farm in Qinghua County is only three masters of the inner family.

The resources that need to be consumed by an internal master can be said to be astronomical.

The reason why the Gu family can bear it is not because of industries such as grain shops, pharmacies, restaurants, inns, and inns, nor thousands of acres of fertile land farms.

The Gu family's real reliance is Luolai Peak.

There is a jade mine at the northern foot of Luolai Peak, and the minerals of this mine are the real source of wealth for the Gu family.

The jade produced in this world is not only as expensive as the mutton fat white jade of the earth world, but most importantly, there are sometimes extremely rare chalcedony in the jade mine, which is a special product needed by some specific people, and its value is even more incomparable.

This jade mine was developed five years ago, and before, Gu Xiaozhao's parents were still there, plus Su Zhiwei and Luo Yuanyuan, there were four masters in the family, so even if many people were eyeing the mine, they could only salivate and look at it.

After Gu Xiaozhao's parents disappeared, some families secretly took action, but at that time, Su Zhiwei had already opened up the Great Zhou Tian and was known as the number one master in Qinghua County, so many turmoil had subsided before it had risen, and it did not set off a storm.

It's just that even when the Gu family was in its heyday, this jade mine was not all under its name.

The shares of the jade mine are divided into three parts, of which the Gu family accounts for 60%, the remaining 40%, the government occupies 20%, and the Xujia Village in Luolaifeng occupies the remaining 20%.

The jade mine is located in the boundary of Xujia Village, Xujia Village is a hunter's village, both men and women, from an early age to practice family martial arts, although most of the young adults practice Kung Fu from outside, but there are also some talented and intelligent people to practice Kung Fu inside.

Xujia Village does not have an internal practice, however, this Xujia Village is related to the Xuandu Temple in the north thousands of miles away, and every ten years, the Xuandu Temple will send people to Xujia Village, and after passing a test, some children with good talents will be taken away.

In other words, this Xujia Village has a background.

Five years ago, the Gu family discovered the mine, bought off the government at that time, obtained the title deed of Luolaifeng, and put the mine under the name of the Gu family, however, when the mine was developed, the Gu family still signed an agreement with Xujia Village, and gave two percent to Xujia Village.

Xujiacun doesn't have to do anything, and the pre-development investment of the mine is not a penny, so it accounts for 20%.

The reason why the Gu family made concessions was because they had no choice but to do so.

Although the Gu family was able to forcibly erase Xujiacun from this world through some means, however, it would take a lot of money to do so, and some of the gains outweighed the losses. What's more, the background of Xujia Village is very good, even in the far north.

The locals of Qinghua County didn't know anything about the Xuandu Temple, but Gu Xiaozhao's parents didn't.

The Gu family moved back from other places, not the countryside buns, they have heard of the name of Xuandu Temple, it is a powerful sect in the north, although Jiangnan is not its sphere of influence, they can't act recklessly in Qinghua County, however, just a Gu family, it is better not to touch each other's tiger whiskers.

In the five years since the mining, the two sides have gotten along well, even if Gu Xiaozhao's parents disappeared two years ago, Xujiacun did not cause chaos because of this, and still abided by the agreement signed by the two sides.

For this mine, the Gu family attaches great importance to it.

The second housekeeper, Meng Zhaonan, is also resident in the mine and is in charge of the jade mine, and it is usually difficult to return to the city, so he only takes time to return to Qinghua County during the New Year's holiday. This time, the reason why he hurried back to the county seat and wanted to break into the courtyard to meet Gu Xiaozhao was naturally for a reason.

This time, Xujiacun made a move!

Yesterday, Xu Dafu, the head of Xujia Village, came to the mine and issued an ultimatum to Meng Zhaonan, saying that he wanted to re-sign the agreement, and the previous agreement signed by Xujia Village and the Gu family was null and void. The re-signed agreement is very simple, Xujia Village wants to occupy 60% of the mine's production, and the Gu family can only occupy 20%, and the reason why the Gu family is given 20% is just because the Gu family did not swallow all the mines at the beginning.

He gave Meng Zhaonan a three-day deadline.

Within three days, the current head of the Gu family must come to the door to sign the agreement in person, if he does not go to Xujia Village to sign the agreement within three days, then these two percent will not be given to the Gu family.

"What a guts!"

Luo Changchang sneered.

"Brother Meng, this Xu Dafu is crazy, right?

Indeed, Xu Dafu's request seems to be crazy, even if the Gu family is now suffering from internal and external troubles and is crumbling, it is not something that Xujiacun can provoke.

Although Xujia Village has a backer, it is thousands of miles away.

The name of Xuandu Guan can only be used in the north, and it is difficult to say that it has gone out of the sphere of influence and has come to the territory of other sects!

Meng Zhaonan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Xu Dafu didn't come alone, the county lieutenant came with him!"

"Oh?"

Luo Yuan's face darkened.

Five years ago, the reason why the Gu family was able to eat the jade mine was not only because of the wealth and power, but also because the county magistrate of Qinghua County at that time was a friend of Gu Xiaozhao's father Gu Jin, so he only gave the government 20% of the income and bought the mine.

Now, the prefectural magistrate at that time has gone to another place to become an official.

The Gu family is a local wealthy family, and now the county order has no choice but to admit the agreement signed by the previous officer, after all, the soldiers of the iron-clad battalion and the flowing water, the county order is a rogue official after all, even if the entire jade mine is state-owned, he can't eat it all, it is better to enjoy the filial piety of the Gu family every year, why bother.

This county lieutenant is different, he is a new person who comes from a big family in Linxian County.

The county lieutenant came forward, which means that there has been a change in the government.

After all, for the county magistrate of Qinghua County, no matter who controls the mine, he will not be given less filial piety, so he is too lazy to meddle in his affairs, and in this case, he will definitely stay out of the matter and let the people below fight.

"Brother Luo, the young master is in retreat, you say, what should I do about this?"

Meng Zhaonan said without a master.

"The matter is urgent, and the young master must come forward! After all, you and I are not Gu family members, but we are just receiving a salary, whether we talk or do things, we can't count!"

Luo Changchang spread his hands, looking helpless.

At this time, another group of people hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard, and the leader was smiling, it was Song Dazhi, the third master of Tianhe Daochang.

"Brother Luo, you're here too!"

Song Dazhi smiled at Luo Yuan and arched his fist.

Luo Changyuan returned the salute, also with a smile.

"Brother Song came just in time, this matter must be decided by Brother Song!"
