The old man walked to the gate guarded by two men in red, and walked directly in without stopping. The two men did not stop him, but they did not salute him at the same time.
Their status in the family is not low, but in normal times they still have to salute to their elders, but now that they are working and taking up their posts, they do not need to salute to anyone at this time.
After entering the door, you saw a square, which was paved with bluestone. The most important thing was that there were countless flowers and plants planted around the square, which made the atmosphere of the square seem softer.
There are a lot of them, and they also seem to have a lot of vitality.
Behind the square is a main hall. This main hall is not used under normal circumstances. It is only used when the Liu family has important matters. The old man bypassed the main hall and went to the back of the main hall. There is a small building behind the main hall.
Building, this small building is five stories high and is made of white stone. It is very beautiful. This is where the head of the Liu family works. During the day, the head of the Liu family works here.
, whatever the Liu family has to do, they have to come here to deal with it.
The old doorman entered the small building directly, went all the way to the fifth floor of the small building, stopped outside a door room, then knocked gently, and a voice came from the room: "Who is it?
"
The old man said solemnly: "It's me." The door opened, and a young man was standing in the door. When the young man saw Lao Liuzi, he quickly said: "It's the door manager, Kuaiqing." The old man nodded.
, walked in.
This is a small living room, directly opposite the door. There is another door. The old six turned to the young man and said: "Liu Yuan, inform the head of the family and say that I want to see you." Liu Yuan responded and walked over.
In front of the door inside, he knocked gently, and then said: "Master, the doorkeeper wants to see you."
"Let him in!" came a majestic voice, Liu Yuan opened the door, and Lao Menzi walked into the room.
This is a large study room. But the design is very simple, with two rows of bookshelves, a bookcase, a small living room, a floor covering, and a crystal chandelier above the head. The atmosphere is full of nobility, but
It doesn't look luxurious and tastes very good.
There is a person sitting behind the desk. This person is quite old. His hair is a little gray and he is wearing black clothes. He has a serious face.
The old man immediately saluted the old man and said, "See the head of the family."
The head of the Liu family nodded and said, "Okay, disciple, what's the matter?"
The old man said in a deep voice: "The Silver Fish has returned. When it arrived at the dock, the hull was damaged, but I have seen it. Well, you were affected by the energy, not a frontal attack. The boatman lost nine people.
, one-third of the medicinal materials have been lost, and the rest is not a big loss."
The head of the Liu family nodded and said: "Well, fortunately, it's not too serious. The boatmen's support must be in place, and the boatmen's families must also be taken care of. Our Liu family cannot be without conscience."
The old disciple responded, and the head of the Liu family looked at the old disciple and said, "Liu Yu and Liu Ji came with the boat, right? Ask them to write a detailed report on the whole thing and send it up. After reading this, I
Say, if necessary, let them come over and explain the process to me."
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, head of the family, but I'm afraid they can't tell anything. They were affected by the energy not long after the war started. After they fainted, they fell into the river. If it hadn't been for the boatmen who saved them,
If so, I'm afraid they are already dead."
The head of the family nodded, then he looked at the old disciple and said with a smile: "Men, I heard that your god-grandson and god-granddaughter are here? Your god-grandson is the very smart grass soul soul transplanter? Isn't that right?
?They came on that boat too?"
The old man said quickly: "As for the master, yes, they also came on that boat. Something almost happened. Fortunately, the kid Hecao was clever and hid under the boat, so he was not discovered by the water thieves.
Otherwise, the consequences will be really unimaginable.”
The head of the family nodded and said: "Yes, he is a clever child. How old is he this year? He is seven or eight years old, right? How is his study in the family school?"
The old disciple immediately said: "Yes, I am seven years old today. I no longer study in the family school. I am going to study pharmacology with a pharmacist in Green City. This time I am here to see me. I will go there before I go back."
Let’s study pharmacology.”
The head of the family nodded and said: "Take good care of him. Although he is not a member of the family now, you can't not train him just because of this. With your relationship and Tian Niu's relationship, he can also be considered a member of the family."
If half of the Liu family really succeeds in the future, please help us, that is."
The old man responded, he had never hid the matter of the little crane grass from the family head. The family head also admired the little crane grass very much, but the family head also knew that if he got the little crane grass into the Liu family, he might accomplish nothing in the end.
Because the Crane Grass is just a grass soul thing after all, this kind of soul thing is really not special.
But the head of the family knows very well that if some conveniences are given to Little Crane Grass now, then Little Crane Grass will be grateful to the Liu family. In this way, the Liu family will get the gratitude of a soul planter without spending anything on the mission. If this
If the soul planter succeeds in the future, he will thank the Liu family. If he accomplishes nothing in the future, the Liu family will not suffer any loss. This is a good thing.
The head of the family then frowned and said: "This time there is something strange about the Devil's Beach. The Devil's Beach has always been secretly supported by the people from the Tiger Soul Kingdom. The people from the Tiger Soul Country also want to use the Devil's Beach to grab some
The embargoed materials have not been done excessively. The country also knows this, and also acquiesces. After all, even if the people there are cleared, the Tiger Soul Country can send people here immediately. This is
It can never be cleaned up, but something is wrong this time. Who are those ships? Why are there so many weapons on the ship? Who are those weapons being transported to? There is no way to find out these, as we are now
Judging from the information available, those ships are all owned by the Cha family. How is this possible? The Cha family has been doing business with the Void Soul Country. It can be said that their family has been helping the Hu Soul Country with smuggling. And there is Devil's Beach.
It’s the territory of the Tiger Soul Kingdom. Normally, nothing will happen to the Cha family’s ship when it arrives at the Tiger Soul Kingdom. What’s going on?”
The old man also frowned and said: "It's not clear yet, Patriarch, we don't have a lot of information about the Tiger Soul Kingdom right now. We are seizing the time to collect it now. I want to wait for a while to get the information about the Tiger Soul Kingdom."
After collecting them all, we almost know what is going on, and the old slave thinks that we can see what is going on with the Cha family. Those boats belong to the Cha family. Although the Cha family has already reported them missing,
I think this matter has something to do with their family members."
The head of the family nodded and said: "Okay, check this matter slowly and it will always be found out. Don't worry, now is not the time to be anxious. I don't have any goods at home recently, do you have to go to Wuling River?
?Especially through Devil's Ford?"
The old man said solemnly: "There are only two ships. However, they are transporting ordinary goods. There will be no problems. Please rest assured, head of the house." The head of the house nodded and waved his hand, and the old man bowed and left.
.
After coming out of the owner's small white building, the old man returned to his own yard. In fact, he originally worked in that small white building, but today he did not do so and instead returned to his own yard.
Outer door managers like Lao Menzi are relatively free in the Liu family. They have a lot of work every day, but they have a lot of freedom. However, Lao Menzi is also a famous figure among the outer door managers, so he
I have my own office in Xiaobai Building, which is envied by many members of the Liu family.
The Xiaobai Building is the center of power of the Liu family. Being able to have an office of his own there means that the old disciple has entered the center of power of the Liu family. In this way, the status of the old disciple will be higher than that of other general managers.
One day, others will naturally envy you.
However, the old disciple didn't care much about these. Although he came from the Liu family's vassal family, the relationship between him and the main family was not very good. The family didn't take much care of him back then.
, only Menqing’s father helped him, so he took Menqing with him. Because of this, he didn’t have to worry about the Men’s family. In addition, he was older, and although he was in good health, he cared about power and money.
He is very light-hearted and has no desire to be strong. He really has no idea about how high a position he can get.
The more he behaves like this, the more the Patriarch takes a fancy to him. Speaking of which, the old disciple is not the servant of the Patriarch. At that time, the old disciple was the servant of the third young master of the Liu family, who is the younger brother of the current Patriarch. However, the younger brother of the current Patriarch is a soldier.
He is a powerful person and is very powerful. He is now one of the strongest men in the Liu family. He is also in seclusion all year round and does not care about the family's affairs. However, he still has a close relationship with his old disciple. When he was in seclusion, he followed
The head of the family said that he did not need anyone to serve him, and hoped that the head of the family could arrange a better job for the old man. So the old man was only assigned some very easy jobs at first, until two years ago, he went
Work as an assessor in Green City.
Later, the head of the family saw that his work ability was indeed very good, so he transferred the old disciple back to the family and became the general manager of the outer sect. In addition, the head of the family had a very good relationship with his younger brother. Before he became the head of the family, he worked with
His younger brother moved around a lot and was very familiar with the old disciple, so now the old disciple took the position of the outer door manager.
Speaking of which, the old man's work ability was quite good, so slowly he gained the respect of the owner of the house and became a top-notch person among the general managers of the outer door. That's why he had his own office in Bailou.
The reason why the Liu family built such a white building is because the head of their family, in addition to being the head of the Liu family, is also the chief defense officer of the North City of Juyun City and has an official position.
In addition to the city lord who is directly appointed by the state, Juyun City also has four city defense chiefs, and these four city defense chiefs are in charge of the four city gates and the security of the four cities in the east, south, west, and north.
The four chief city defense officers are served by the patriarchs of the four major families in Juyun City. The chief city defense officer in North City is Liu Yunfei, the head of the Liu family.
The appointment of the owner of the king of the Blade Soul Kingdom is also for the safety of Juyun City. Juyun City is a big city, and the four big families of Liu, Huang, Mi, and Lin are big families in Juyun City. Each family
Their strength is not weak, and there are many powerful soldiers in the family. In this case, it is impossible to get rid of these four families. If you want to provoke a fight between these four families,
It's not that easy, and it will also cause Juyun City to fight against each other, which will only make it more troublesome.
So in the end, they simply accepted the heads of the four families as the city defense chiefs and let them guard Juyun City together. If they were not allowed to be the city defense chiefs, they would not have much sense of security. Let them be the city defense chiefs.
As officials, they will have a more sense of belonging, and for their official positions and to make their families safer, they will definitely defend Juyun City with all their strength and will not let any trouble occur in Juyun City. In this way
As a result, Juyun City will be safer.
Having no choice but to start a family, the idea of the King of Blade Soul Kingdom is really good. After the four major families became the chief defense officers of Juyun City, the security of Juyun City suddenly improved. With good security, business will naturally improve.
It has become more developed. In addition, Juyun City is close to the Wuling River and water transportation is very convenient. This business will naturally become more developed.
Although the Liu family and the other four are considered overlords in Juyun City, they are not that big of a deal in the Blade Soul Kingdom. The Blade Soul Kingdom has jurisdiction over five major states, and each major state has
, there are eight prefectures, and each prefecture has a large city like Juyun City, ranging from ten to twelve. Although Juyun City is the seat of the government office of Donglai Prefecture, here in Donglai Prefecture, it is not the same as that of Juyun City.
There are nine other big cities like Juyun City. The Liu family can only be regarded as a small family that is below average in the entire Blade Soul Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that the Liu family really dare not make trouble in Juyun City. The Blade Soul Kingdom does not want there to be unrest in the place, so it allows them to be powerful and watch the place. If they make too much trouble
, the royal sword family of the Blade Soul Kingdom can directly send people to destroy them. Therefore, although the Liu family and other families are very violent in Juyun City, they do not dare to go too far, and everything can be done without damaging them.
The interests of the Blade Soul Nation shall prevail. If they go too far, there will be no good results.
The Liu family is also very aware of their identity. They also do some smuggling, but they don't dare to go too far. They usually smuggle some food, medicinal materials and other things, and they never dare to smuggle things like weapons.
Yes, so when the old man reported to Liu Yunfei before, he said that they had two ships going to Devil's Beach, and the cargo they brought were all ordinary cargo, which meant that he was telling Liu Yunfei that those two ships did not carry any
Smuggled items.
The reason why Liu Yunfei wanted to ask about the ship was because of what happened at Devil's Beach. Several ships of weapons were found there, and it was also the ship of the Cha family. The Cha family was a big family in the Blade Soul Kingdom, mainly engaged in smuggling.
Whatever happened at Devil's Beach this time, no matter how much it has to do with the Cha family, the Cha family may be in trouble this time.
