Chapter 273: Reaction from all sides in Spirit Burning City
The Zhou family is one of the oldest families in the Spirit Burning City, and the Chen family and the Baili family actually control the affairs of the Spirit Burning City, and the other families are large and small, but even if it is an independent family, they must show enough respect for the three major families, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the Spirit Burning City.
At this time, in the lobby of the Zhou family, Zhou Jikuan, the current head of the Zhou family, asked softly: "That continent chief, is it still the same?
Zhou Jikuan has a well-proportioned figure, although he looks like he is in his fifties, but standing there is like a dynamite bag, full of aggression, especially when his eyes open and close, and even make the lobby flash a bright light, as if the flash lights are constantly closing in it.
The person standing in front of him was his third son, named Zhou Mengren, the most outstanding of all his children, at this time Zhou Mengren stood in front of him respectfully and said: "It's still the same as before, in addition to letting people go out to buy him some books, it is to continue to post the news of hired personnel, the salary has increased again, this time there are more people to work, and our people have also gone in to work!"
"This governor is kind of interesting. Zhou Jikuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to normal, and he said with some intriguing: "It has been four months since he came to the Spirit Burning Continent, and he has not made any other moves except for buying all kinds of books, jade slips, and battle scar inheritance items on the market, which is different from those previous continent chiefs!"
"It's different, and I can't figure out what he's trying to do. Zhou Mengren frowned, he didn't have Zhou Jikuan's blandness, and said with a little annoyance: "Even if he hires someone to work, but he also clearly marks the price, it's been four months, he has always settled the bill on time every time, and he has never been in arrears and defaults. And when I was working, I didn't do anything other than make all kinds of requests, which made me even more puzzled!"
Zhou Jikuan did not continue the topic, but asked: "Has his origin been investigated?!How could such a person suddenly appear?!"
"It's a little eyebrow-raising. Zhou Mengren said with some amazement: "This Zhang Mo is not a big deal, he is just a Flying Earth Founder in the East Sea, but we got the news that next to the Flying Earth he built, there were actually spatial coordinates of the Doetu Battlefield, which was the coordinate hub that the East China Sea Sect Sect has been looking for for so many years, I didn't expect it to appear so suddenly, if this is the case, he really has some luck." ”
The theory of luck is still an ethereal theory in the Heavenly Fortune Empire and the cultivation world, but it has been relatively unanimously recognized in Beirong, although no one can prove the existence of this thing, but the decline of Beirong is in the propaganda of the Temple of War, because the luck was stolen by the Heavenly Fortune Empire, and everyone will choose to believe it after years of propaganda.
Hearing Zhou Mengren say this, Zhou Jikuan said: "The people who came to Beirong from the open sea have a little bit of luck, and there have been people who have been lucky and have done something in Beirong, otherwise, how could the Heavenly Fortune Empire act like this, these years, conquering Beijun, hehehe..."
Zhou Jikuan did not continue, and Zhou Mengren did not answer the conversation, but continued to introduce: "Zhang Mo came to Zhengbei County for a very short time, but when he entered Zhengbei City, he was just in time for the birth of the Son of Heaven in the Temple of War. ”
"Entering the open sea not only builds the flying earth, but also makes the spatial coordinate hub of the Etu battlefield, which has disappeared for many years, reappear, although it is said that the Etu battlefield of many sects in the East China Sea is connected, but the greatest benefit is undoubtedly the Heavenly Fortune Empire. Zhou Jikuan walked forward, his eyes seemed to have a different color flashing in the deep groan, and he slowly smoothed it out and said: "After coming to Zhengbei County, catching up with the Son of Heaven in the present world, bringing the power of Qingxuan's Shock God Thunder could have destroyed the heavens and the earth, but quietly dissipated, are these just coincidences?!"
"Father means that Zhang Mo has a connection with these things? These things have changed because of Zhang Mo's relationship?!" Zhou Mengren said with a look of disbelief: "Although we don't know what happened to these things, we know very clearly that Zhang Mo is just a junior martial artist's cultivation, how can such a low cultivation have such a big impact, this is absolutely impossible." He may have some luck, but judging from the way he acted after coming to Spirit Burning City, this person's decisive ability is not so strong, and if you want to say that these things have something to do with him, I don't believe it!"
"Mengren, your qualifications are stronger than mine, and your understanding and hard work in martial arts are better than mine, which I have always been very happy about, but there is one thing you can't compare to me now, that is, your views and understanding of things, not that you can't do it, but after all, you still lack a little bit of training. Zhou Jikuan was not unhappy because of his son's opposition, but said patiently: "Many things not only have to look at the surface, but we also have to carefully analyze whether what we see is right!"
Hearing his father's words, Zhou Mengren put away the disbelief on his face, pondered carefully, and then said with some uncertainty: "Could it be that his cultivation realm is disguised by himself?
"I can't be sure how high his original cultivation is, but what I can be sure of is that his cultivation is definitely not a mere martial artist realm, there is incomparably chaos in the open sea, if he is really just a martial artist, how can he survive in that situation, and also create a piece of flying soil?! The most important thing is that he was able to come back unharmed after the spatial coordinates of the Etu battlefield were opened, which is not something that a martial artist can do. ”
"Even if he hides his cultivation, what can he do?!" Zhou Mengren was still very puzzled and said: " The changes in the open sea are too far away from us, and the specific situation cannot be known, so I don't know if the changes over there have anything to do with Zhang Mo, but the changes in Zhengbei City are indeed happening at our moment, and I have sent people to inquire about the news many times, and the news I got is basically the same, that is, the Son of Heaven left suddenly, neither said that the Son of Heaven was injured, nor did it say that the county guard was injured, but inexplicably, the thunder pool in the sky disappeared! Even if this is the luck of being the Yuanying True Monarch, he can't think of doing it, if Zhang Mo can do it, is he already an existence that surpasses the Yuanying True Monarch?
"That's absolutely impossible. Zhou Jikuan also smiled a little, and said to Zhou Mengren: "These things have something to do with him, but they don't necessarily have to be done by him, people with luck will always have something special, maybe he provided some help, so he will let Diao Deyun easily destroy the thunder pool, of course, this has something to do with is just my speculation, I can't do it accurately!"
The discussion between the two people about Zhang Mo stopped here, and then Zhou Mengren told Zhang Mo what he had done again, and then turned around and left to deal with other things, the Zhou family is a big clan in Lingyan City, and they need to deal with a lot of various things, although the governor is a big man, but in a place like Beirong, the role he can play is really not big, if he can be honest and get along with the major families in Beirong, they will naturally not provoke each other!
-- this -- is-- divided-cut-line-
Just as they were talking about the Governor's Mansion, the Chen family, as the three major families, was also discussing Zhang Mo's issue.
The contemporary head of the Chen family is a woman, named Chen Caier, if you just listen to the name, you will 100% think that this is a beautiful girl with a graceful demeanor, in fact, Chen Caier also deserves this title, although she is now old, but she can still see the demeanor of her youth between her eyebrows, and she will indeed be a very good-looking woman.
Chen Caier has been in charge of the Chen family for countless years, this woman is strong, ruthless, and secretive, the Chen family was originally relatively weak in the three major families, but under her management, she is on an equal footing with the other two major families, and firmly controls the supreme authority of the Chen family as a woman, and no one has tried to challenge it for so many years: the people who challenge have disappeared!
"Family Master, we have collected Zhang Mo's relevant news in detail. "The report is a young man, Chen Cai'er does not allow anyone to challenge her authority, but she is very interested in promoting the juniors, there are many outstanding disciples of the descendants of the Chen family, and this person in front of him is one of the representatives, only to hear him say: "Zhang Mo's collection of books, jade slips, The inheritance of the scars of war really has no purpose, almost everything that can be found on the market has been bought by him, and we who have entered the official residence of the Zhou Mansion can also confirm that Zhang Mo will read everything carefully, but he has never expressed anything special, let alone made a standard or anything!"
A young man next to him continued: "He invited the old people in the Spirit Burning City to hold a discussion, at first some went and some didn't, everyone was still worried about the people of the Heavenly Fortune Empire, but after a few consecutive invitations, everyone had no worries, because every time he held a forum, it was public, and basically he didn't say anything serious, just kept chatting, talking about everything, just no focus, sometimes listening to those old people talk about it for a day, he didn't seem to have to do anything." ”
Chen Cai'er nodded and didn't speak, the two young men glanced at each other, after this new continent chief entered the Spirit Burning City, what he did was really confusing, the things they reported, in fact, had been reporting them before, and now there was nothing new, but they had to say it every day, because the patriarch had to listen to them every day.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and a young man walked in outside, this young man was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he had a maturity that did not match his age, and the old man came to the room and said to Chen Cai'er, "Grandma, I'm back." ”
"It's Yingshu!" Chen Cai'er's expressionless face immediately became better after seeing this young man, and after smiling at the folds piled up, it bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and it could be seen that she was very appreciative of this child, and said: "You guys go down first, you must continue to observe the official residence of the Zhou Mansion, but don't do anything." ”
"Yes! Patriarch!" The two bowed and retreated, looking at Chen Yingshu's eyes, unconsciously with a trace of gratitude, it was he who relieved the two of them!
"Yingshu, what do you have to tell grandma?!"
"Grandma, I got the news that Zhang Mo has been hiring people to work for him during this time, and he actually intends to hire some people for a long time to form a human power company, this is the first time I have heard of this thing, I don't know what he wants to do, so come and ask grandma!"
"Manpower company, what is this?!" Chen Cai'er frowned, and asked thoughtfully: "He has been in Spirit Burning City for four months, it seems that he is about to make a move, if he is still silent like this, I have to wonder if he wants to die in Zhengbei County like this, just like those who don't want to make progress!"
"But what is this manpower company? What is the use? Now there is only such a saying, we can't get any news, we can't respond!"
"Why should we deal with it?!" Chen Cai'er rarely explained to Chen Yingshu, the people of the entire Spirit Burning City know that the head of the Chen family has high requirements for himself and the clan, in the past rumors, let alone explain, you are a little unsatisfactory in understanding, and it will also make this family master unhappy, and now he can explain it to Chen Yingshu, it can be seen that he already likes this disciple to the bones, she said in a voice: " In any case, Zhang Mo represents the Heavenly Fortune Empire, as long as what he does does not harm the interests of our Chen family, he will have to toss it, if he really doesn't know how to provoke the Chen family, can he still compete with our Chen family with a rootless and bottomless outside?
Speaking of this, Chen Cai'er said with some interest: "Yingshu, I feel that your spirit has grown very fast recently, and even your cultivation has been a little faster than I expected, do you have any special insights recently?!"
Chen Yingshu replied: "Grandma, I have some realizations recently, but these realizations are a little funny, they are actually obtained from listening to Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling. ”
Hearing Chen Yingshu say this, Chen Caier remembered something and said: "Yuan Kuocheng? is the old man next to Zhang Mo? He still insists on telling stories?!"
"Yes, grandma, how can you say that this Zhang Mo is under these strange people, and none of the things they do are serious, which is really incomprehensible. ”
"Well, it's a little confusing, but like I said before, as long as they don't do anything offensive to us, it's up to him to toss, this expedition to Beijun, after all, our Beirong warriors have the final say, no matter how much the Heavenly Fortune Empire tosses, before the God of War Temple falls, it won't do anything, don't care. ”
After pondering for a while, Chen Cai'er finally said: "However, Yuan Kuocheng's story, you still don't want to listen to it in the future, even if it is good for you, I am afraid that there are any hidden dangers in it, once they are secretly calculated, even if they can finally catch them all, they will not be able to make up for our losses." ”
It can be seen that Chen Yingshu is a little unhappy, but he still replied very happily: "I know grandma, I won't listen to his stories in the future, but, grandma, I will let people write down the stories he tells me and give them to me, so there is no problem, right?!"
"Hahaha, okay, no problem. Chen Cai'er suddenly laughed loudly and said: "My English book has always been very stable, I didn't expect to find such a childish side of you today, you actually love to listen to stories, good, good, if you are willing to listen, let them bring it back to you to look good, if it is really good-looking, don't forget to bring a copy to grandma to take a look!"
Chen Yingshu knew that his grandmother was actually still not at ease, and wanted to see what was mysterious about those stories, for this kind of care from the elders, of course he would not refuse, so he agreed happily, and then left by himself.
-- this -- is-- divided-cut-line-
The Baili family is naturally also talking about Zhang Mo, this new governor of the continent, has become the focus of the three major families, although it is said that the operation of the Tianyun Empire in Zhengbei County has been repeatedly frustrated, but that is only the general trend, in terms of specific affairs, the Tianyun Empire is not only very tough, but also very ingenious, the three major families say that they don't care, if Zhang Mo really gets the strong support of the county guard, what do they want to do in Lingyan City, their three families are tied together, and they may not be opponents.
This is also the reason why they dare not take the initiative to attack: when the new governor does not show any hostility, when he is not sure what he wants to do, it is better to be honest and peaceful!
In addition to the things that the Zhou family and the Chen family said, Baili Jinfeng, the patriarch of the Baili family, as the patriarch of the family with the most industries in the Spirit Burning City, focused on another matter, and only listened to him ask a shopkeeper-like person standing in front of him: "Can you be sure? Those people who secretly purchased land and ordered materials were the ones sent by Zhang Mo to do it?!"
"It has been determined that the person who did this is a person named Liu Ji, this person acted very carefully, but there was no intention of hiding traces, at first we just didn't pay attention, and after we checked carefully, all the clues pointed to him, there was nothing wrong. ”
"He already has the power to expropriate, but he buys a lot of land, so that those who own ordinary land can get benefits, and he buys so many materials and hires so many people, what does this new governor want to do?!"
Unlike the other two, Baili Jinfeng had already felt a kind of uneasiness, and ordered in a deep voice: "Continue to monitor, we must find out, what they want to do here, we have so many people entering the Zhou Mansion Mansion, since they don't shy away from anything, let me investigate well, don't everyone start sharpening their knives, we are still here to wash our necks!"
