As he spoke, Lu Shun observed Meng Zhao out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but feel a good impression in his heart.

Compared with Meng Xi who is strong and domineering, Meng Wen is calm and majestic, while Meng Zhao looks more handsome and has a gentler temperament.

And he behaves well, and the whole person feels like a green pine in the mountains, standing proudly and standing out from the crowd.

It's easy to make people feel good.

However, he is very clear about his position. It is still unclear whether he is a friend or an enemy.

You must know that today's matter was not only on an errand for his master, but also to test the attitude of these four young masters.

That night, Meng Xi was a little angry when she learned that Meng Zhao had gone to Meng Wen's banquet.

The original words were to directly ask Lu Shun to tell Meng Zhao that it was his eldest brother who was interested in the business of red leaf ginseng and wolfsbane grass and asked him to step aside.

Having a tough attitude and acting too domineering will inevitably make people resentful.

However, Lu Shun thought over and over again and took the initiative to carry this matter on his back, saying that he had made his own decision and came to Meng Zhao to share his master's worries, which showed that he was very capable.

First, to remove his master Meng Xi from this matter, it doesn't matter whether Meng Zhao believes it or not.

Attitudes are more important than facts.

Second, there is room for relaxation.

Even if it is not allowed and the matter is not completed, it will not affect the relationship between the two houses.

All faults are his alone.

This is the thought that a qualified and excellent tool person should have.

Although Meng Zhao didn't know the inside story and twists and turns, he was very clear about it.

Lu Shun's coming here was definitely his brother Meng Xi's wish, not his own initiative.

For this Lu Shun, he couldn't help but be a little impressed.

Compared with him, Lu Le has greater potential, but he is not polished and is far less smooth and experienced than this person.

However, he believed that with the same age and experience, Lu Le would only be better than Lu Shun, and far beyond that.

Coincidentally, he had also been exposed to some second-home businesses in the past two days, and knew the importance of red leaf ginseng and wolfsbane grass.

Red leaf ginseng, as the name suggests, is a kind of ginseng with red leaves. It is dry in nature and likes yin. When taken by warriors, it can not only strengthen the body and strengthen the body, but also improve the physical strength to a certain extent.

It is a very precious medicinal material that can be used for horizontal training and spiritual practice.

For example, the red-leaf ginseng produced by Meng Zhao's industry is supplied to some gangs inside and outside Nan'an County. The annual output is not large, but it earns a lot of money and wins the favor of many gangs.

The representative one is the Jade Bone Gate.

The Jade Bone Sect is a small sect with only a few dozen members in total, but a large number of masters. Its strength ranks among the top in Nan'an County.

Because the people in this sect, in addition to cultivating internal strength, also cultivate physical fitness, they are very strong.

In particular, the sect leader Yu Chaoen cultivated the Xuanming Jade Bone, which was even more advanced than the Nine Innate Apertures.

His strength is definitely the strongest among the strong.

It is definitely a lucky thing to get the favor of such a strong and powerful person.

The red leaf ginseng maintains the relationship between the two parties to a certain extent.

Let's talk about wolfsbane. This is a special plant that grows in the vast mountains. It usually has six leaves. Each leaf has sharp and poisonous thorns on it, which are very hard.

This plant cannot be used for medicine or practice, but it can be used to make weapons such as long whips.

In the hands of some people who have mastered the secret method of tempering, they can often turn decay into magic, turning ordinary wolfsbane grass into a terrifyingly powerful wolfsbane whip.

When used by an expert, it is flexible, strong and soft, and can tear apart swords or wrap around people.

In the same way, the scope of supply of wolfsbane grass is wider, and the profits and effects it brings are not inferior to those of red leaf ginseng.

It can be said that either of these two businesses can not only support the daily expenses of the second house, but also allow the second house to strengthen its connection with the outside world. It is not limited to the Meng family.

Both of these businesses were promoted by Meng Zhengan when he was still alive, so they have always belonged to the second house, not the entire Meng family.

Without considering the Earth Spirit Pearl, the two warehouses of medicinal materials and thirty acres of medicinal fields that Zhuangzi lost were nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to the value of the red leaf ginseng and wolfsbane grass.

But now, Meng Xi from the big house actually wants Meng Zhao to give up these two businesses, which is really beyond his expectation.

Meng Zhao could understand that Meng Xi was now eager to increase his own strength and subdue his younger brother, who had been competing with him, so as to determine the position of heir. To this end, he would not hesitate to use force and plunder.

The business value of red leaf ginseng and wolfsbane grass is not just about the monetary value, but more importantly, the human resources, which will bring unimaginable help to Meng Xi.

Therefore, he wanted to take this business away from himself.

But, I think it’s possible, but I can’t do it.

Because this involves an issue of family property distribution.

Today he, Meng Xi, can take away the business of red leaf ginseng and wolfsbane grass. Tomorrow, can he take away the manor land and shop business of Erfang? Will he take the entire Erfang into his hands the day after tomorrow?

Regardless of whether he has this intention or not, at least this behavior confirms this possibility.

This was a matter of principle, so Meng Zhao could not give in and did not dare to give in.

If he really gave in, the most direct reason might be that Lu Zhong was extremely disappointed with him.

Therefore, Meng Zhao also directly rejected Tao,

"Lu Shun, I can tell you clearly that this matter is absolutely impossible.

Whether it’s your wish or Big Brother’s wish, you can give up on this idea.

Red-leaf ginseng and wolfsbane were businesses that were promoted and developed by my father during his lifetime. Profits were secondary and symbolism was the most important.

If I hand over these two businesses to you today, how will I face my father when I get to Huangquan Road in the future?

So don't blame me for being unreasonable. Even if my uncle asks me to deal with this matter, I will still go to the ancestral hall to ask my ancestors whether I, Meng Zheng'an, am still a member of the Meng family.

If I can't even enter the ancestral hall, I will hold the Three Treasures of Heavenly Injury and go to the capital to meet the emperor and ask him to make the decision for me."

As soon as Meng Zhao opened his mouth, Lu Shun knew something was wrong, because the other person's expression changed too obviously.

The raging anger and the unconcealed coldness in his eyes all explained this.

But when the words came to the end, Lu Shun realized that he had completely underestimated this fourth young master.

Especially the content of his words shocked him, and his face was so ugly that he could shed tears.

To put it more bluntly, not to mention you Meng Xi, even the current Meng Ji group has to weigh things carefully if they want to take something from Meng Zhao's hands.

We are all blood relatives, uncles and brothers, and if we seize the property of our nephew or younger brother, do we still have the eyes of our ancestors?

If Meng Zhao really doesn't care about the love between flesh and blood, he still has a noble status as a third-level Tiangang Guard, and holds the three treasures of Tianshang Dao, Tianshang Tablet, and Tianshang Seal, so he can directly enter the Yujing Imperial Court and meet the Great Emperor in the Beitang.

Sheng, please seek justice.
