Zhang's house, the council hall.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Zhang Minghua, the elder of the Zhang family, had a hideous face, he was holding an account book in his hand, and the numbers presented on the account book made him feel very ridiculous.

The family advocate Mingtao took people to Nogi County to participate in the family competition, and the family affairs were temporarily in charge of Zhang Minghua, today is the monthly summary meeting of the Zhang family, which should have been lively and lively, but this month's income was greatly reduced, so that Zhang Minghua lost his sense of proportion for a while.

"Great Elder, there is no mistake in the accounts. ”

An old man slowly got up and said, he is the old account of the Zhang family, he has been in charge of the account office of the Zhang family since Zhang Mingtao's grandfather's generation, and his status in the Zhang family is very high.

"Then tell me, why is this month's income so much less?"

Zhang Minghua asked in a deep voice, more than 200 people in the family are pointing to this business to eat, but now they have lost so much income all of a sudden, and even this month's share of the money is not enough.

The old man said slowly: "The old man is only responsible for the accounts, and the business matters should not be explained by the old man." ”

"Three Elders......

Zhang Minghua's eyes swept away, but the three elders who were supposed to attend were not present, so he asked in a deep voice, "What about the three elders? Why didn't you come?"

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

As soon as Zhang Minghua's words fell, a person hurriedly ran in, sweating profusely.

"Third Elder, this month's business ......"

"Great Elder, I was dealing with these things just now, and I just happened to tell you about it. ”

Someone interrupted Zhang Minghua's words, didn't sit down, just stood there, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "In just ten days, the number of families cooperating with our Zhang family has suddenly decreased by nearly eighty percent, and just now, two more families sent people to interrupt the cooperation with our Zhang family, I think this should not be the end." ”

"Why? Why is that?" everyone present was dumbfounded, and Zhang Minghua finally understood why his income was so much less this month.

"I've been investigating these days, but I haven't found a single one, just now, I wasted a lot of effort to get something out of a family's mouth, someone is secretly in contact with all of our partners, and the result is the current situation, maybe not the worst outcome." ”

"Who is it? Who dares to go against my Zhang family like this?" Zhang Minghua asked with a hideous face.

"The other party refused to say, but it is not difficult to find out, just check where the goods sold behind the families who worked with us before came from. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let someone check it out. Zhang Minghua said anxiously.

............

After listening to Wushan's words, Zhao Zifan suddenly opened his mouth, and the ideas in his mind were more open, he was still a little confused about the development of the Zhao family after being promoted to a fourth-class family, but now it has been straightened out all at once, but there are still many things that need to be done, and they have to come step by step.

"Bang bang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Wushan went to open the door, and the person who came was Xue Wei, and when he saw that Zhao Zifan was also there, he hurriedly said: "Master Zhao, the food has been sent to the courtyard, and they are looking for you." ”

"Then let's go eat first. ”

Zhao Zifan still has a stomach of questions that he wants to ask Wushan, but there is still a lot of time to follow, and there is time to say it slowly.

"Toot!"

"The hidden elite mission has been completed, and the system is calculating the reward, please wait for the system notification to check again. ”

Just as Zhao Zifan was walking into the yard, the prompt of the head of the family system sounded.

"Uh......"

Zhao Zifan was stunned, how could this complete the task? This is a hidden elite mission, how could the task be completed so quickly?

According to the family head system, the more difficult the hidden elite task is in the future, and from the content of the task, this task should also be difficult to complete, but the family head system informed him that the task has been completed, and Zhao Zifan's only thought at this time is that there is a problem with the family head system.

"System, are you out of order?" Zhao Zifan communicated with the family master system in his mind as he walked.

"The host is just out of order. ”

The voice of the family master system sounded in Zhao Zifan's mind, "I also feel that there are some problems with the host's completion of the hidden elite task, I have confirmed it again and again, and I will notify you only after confirming that there is no problem." ”

"But I haven't done anything yet. ”

Zhao Zifan was even more confused, of course, it can't be said that he didn't do anything, but he just fought with a third-class family in the outer city of Nogi County, and it wouldn't make the Zhao family famous in Nogi County!

This is the conclusion of the system through analysis, and the system has no way of knowing what the reason is. ”

When communicating with the head of the family, Zhao Zifan and Wu Shan had already come to the courtyard, and three tables had been set up, with all kinds of food, all color, flavor, and flavor.

"You're welcome, eat. ”

Zhao Zifan saw that everyone was still waiting for him, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to eat first.

Everyone was already hungry, and after Zhao Zifan's order, they ate and drank wildly.

"Master Zhao, are you still satisfied?"

The owner of the inn walked over with a smile, afraid that Zhao Zifan and the others would be dissatisfied at all, otherwise, he would not be able to keep the inn.

"It's okay. ”

Zhao Zifan's mind was not on this at all, and no matter how delicious something entered his mouth, it was similar to eating wax.

When the innkeeper heard Zhao Zifan's words, he thought that Zhao Zifan was not satisfied, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go and let the cook cook two specialty dishes." ”

"Alright, don't bother. ”

Zhao Zifan waved the innkeeper of the inn, his mind turned around, and said, "I asked you something." ”

The innkeeper hurriedly said: "The owner of the Zhao family just asks, as long as the villain knows, he must know everything." ”

Zhao Zifan said: "My Zhao family first came to Naimu County, why did the Zeng family target my Zhao family so much?"

"This ......"

The innkeeper groaned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Zhao, this should have a lot to do with the reputation of your family, so to speak, your family should be the most dazzling family in this family competition." ”

"Tell me more carefully. Zhao Zifan's face sank, he finally understood why it was so easy to complete the task, it turned out that someone was "assisting" behind him.

"About ten days ago, the news that your family participated in the Nogi-gun Family Tournament as a second-class family came out, and this should be the first time in the history of the Nogi-gun Family Competition, so there are a lot of people who pay attention, and many people are very curious about your family, and then more and more information related to your family comes out, but what really makes your family famous is another thing......

At this point, the innkeeper paused.
