"No wonder Brother Hong, you are surprised. To be honest, even I myself would not have expected this half a year ago."
Yue Yunjie poured the wine without any abnormality, with an indifferent look on his face. "Brother Hong, do you know the pharmacy opened by Yue Zhang's family?"
Hong Ming slightly nodded. It was impossible for him to be unclear about that Shunde drug store. The day before Hongfei died, he was entrusted by someone to stand up for other drug stores in Yuejia City, and then met with the man named Yue.
There was a quarrel with Yu's children. The next day, he proposed to take the Yue Zhang family's daughter as a concubine.
——Then, his brother and nephew were inexplicably assassinated in front of the city lord's mansion in Yuejia City. No one from the Hong family was alive at the banquet for seven people!
Afterwards, there were rumors all over Beimayuan that the Yue family wanted to fall out with the Hong family. However, after that, the forces belonging to the Yue City, apart from gathering manpower to take precautions against their Danyun City, did not show any hostile behavior.
Neither he nor the members of the family could see that the Yue family could gain even the slightest benefit from this incident.
There is a slight possibility that they sent people from the southern cities to assassinate him. Since those people were able to invite the Guan Master to take action, it is not surprising that they later invited a great master who could come and go freely in Yuejia City.
But it is difficult to explain why the assassin would leave the Yue family members only to hurt but not to kill them. Even if they wanted to alienate each other, this method was really stupid!
What makes Hong Ming feel even more strange is that after that, Yue Yunjie killed many of his slaves with a stick, and he became close to the mother and son of the Yue Zhang family. There were also some people and things related to the latter in Yuejiacheng.
, as well as the blacksmith shop and the silk shop, they all disappeared or were transferred away for no reason——
All of this was full of coincidence. Even though he knew in his heart that it would be impossible for a twelve-year-old boy to do such a thing, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"——That woman is extremely admirable in terms of her courage and means. I can't see anything about it now, but I dare to say that within three years, their family will make a lot of money every day. It is really an anomaly——
"
Yue Yunjie shook his head, turned around and explained: "You Danyun City must also know the situation of my Yue family's medicine shop and armor shop. Now they are in dire straits in my hands. This time, the intention of several clan elders is to borrow money from them.
Let’s see if there is any room for recovery from Yue Zhang’s shrewdness!”
Hong Ming was slightly disappointed in his heart. If just for this matter, the thirty seats were easily awarded, then the Yue family would no longer be qualified to survive for thousands of years.
At this time, Yue Yunjie smiled again. "There are also her children. Don't look at her eldest son. He has a very bad reputation in Yuejia City, but he is very smart. He is more than capable of taking up his mother's mantle. And she
That daughter is also a freak. Although she is still young, her inner breath cultivation is not very good. But during the recent clan competition, for some reason, she fell in love with several elders of my family, and they all said that they would personally
Instructing her to practice! It’s a pity that our in-law family has never given the seat of discussion to women——"
Hong Ming's expression was slightly startled. For the first time, he felt that things might be a little tricky this time. Yue Yunjie's attitude also made him a little uncertain.
※※※※
On the way back, the atmosphere in the carriage was completely different from when they arrived. Not only was Yue Bingqian even more excited, but even Ran Li had swept away his previous decadence, and his dark face was flushed with excitement.
Although Yue Yu was smiling on the surface, he was feeling uneasy in his heart. He didn't think he could hide it from Yue Zhang at this time. The worry about gains and losses has been almost overcome these days. But when he really wanted to speak, he
I also found that even normal pronunciation in my throat had become extremely difficult.
"Mother! Well, actually that day——"
Yue Yu's face was red. Fortunately, his friends from the previous life were not there, otherwise, he would really have found a hole in the ground to crawl into. But it was just a sentence, making him look like a little boy in love for the first time.
Looking directly into Mr. Yue Zhang's eyes that contained a hint of inquiry and a smile, Yue Yu suddenly became cruel and tried his best to suppress the desire to escape in his heart.
"——Actually, what happened at the City Lord's Mansion that day was between Ran Li and me——
Before he finished speaking, Yue Yu heard a chuckle like a silver bell. When he looked up in shock, he saw Madam Yue Zhang reaching out and patting his head with a smile on his face.
"Silly boy! Do you think you can really hide this from your mother? Don't forget that there is a little traitor beside you. In short, I will not pursue the matter for the time being, but you must not take such risks again in the future, even if it is for me.
And your little sister, do you know?"
Yue Yu felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. Yue Zhang's tone sounded like she was coaxing a child. However, at this moment, he felt inexplicably relieved, and the big stone that had been hanging in his heart was completely let go.
But then, he suddenly realized something, gritted his teeth and glared angrily at the opposite side. Ran Li scratched his head guiltily, smiled dryly and turned his head away, not daring to look at Yue Yu.
The only person in the carriage who still didn't understand the situation was Yue Bingqian.
She immediately felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the car, and she heard very clearly that Yue Yu mentioned the sensitive word City Lord's Mansion. Then she felt something vaguely and uncontrollably in her heart.
I thought, could it be Yue Yu who broke into the city lord's mansion that night?
However, this idea only flashed in her mind for a moment, and was thrown away by Yue Bingqian without hesitation. It was ridiculous to think about it. If that thing was really done by her useless brother, it would be the same as the sun rising from the west.
It's no different - there is probably nothing more ridiculous than this in this world.
At this time, Yue Yu felt like he wanted to tear Ran Li alive. He was wondering whether it would be time to boil or fry this kid after today. A warning sign suddenly rose in his heart. He suddenly opened the side door
He opened the curtains and looked outside.
At this moment, his motorcade was turning around the intersection, and on Yue Yu's side of the street, a handsome middle-aged man in white was riding on a dragon-scaled horse, looking sideways and coldly.
Behind him, there were six middle-aged men in black tights. Without exception, they were all martial arts masters of level four or above. Their chests were embroidered with light silver clouds. Their eyes also contained murderous intent.
.
Yue Yu's heart suddenly felt cold. At this moment, he suddenly understood the clan's intention of giving him this seat in the council meeting.
——It turns out that he still underestimated Danyun City after all. This was not his previous life, the era of order where evidence was important in everything. For some things, just a suspicion was enough to be a reason to take action!
With a wry smile, Yue Yu lowered the curtains and blocked the sight of the Danyun City envoy. He thought to himself that he was really naive before and forgot about the law of this world where force is respected.
At the same time, Yue Yu's heart also surged with a desire for his own strength that was much stronger than before.
——If he had the cultivation level of a seventh-level martial artist today, he would never let these people leave from his eyes! Just because the other party would target him and his family, he, Yue Yu, would definitely
