Feng Rulan, who had just sat back, stood up again, holding the dragon crutch in her hand and shaking all over, as if she was a dying tree. However, unlike her previous mood when seeing Wang Jiutong, Feng Rulan's eyes were more cautious and vigilant.
Meaning, even accompanied by anger.
While they were talking, Cheng Mingqing and his son Cheng Shaojing walked in. On the right were Lin Zhenhai, Lin Xin and his son. In the center was an arrogant old man with eyebrows and a flying dragon. He was dressed in black and looked domineering. With his tiger's back, bear's waist, and giant figure.
The shoulders made people raise their eyebrows and tighten their hearts. They all looked at the old man in the middle as if they were waiting for him.
Needless to say, this old man is Zhong Wuxiu, the head of a large super family that has become as famous as the Ming family in recent years.
Speaking of Zhong Wuxiu, we have to mention the grievances between the Zhong and Ming families. In fact, the rise of the Zhong family is entirely due to the Ming family. Back then, Zhong Wuxiu was the leader of an external branch of the Ming family. He had superb cultivation and talent.
He is a rare and ruthless character with extraordinary intelligence and scheming. In the Ming family, Zhong Wuxiu served Mingdong City An Qianma for more than 20 years. He was loyal and loyal. Therefore, Mingdong City attached great importance to and trusted him. Finally, he finally met him at a distance
His family was settled in a place called Fengchi City not far from Zhongtian City.
At first, all the top ten talents in Ming City were watched by Fengchi City. Mingdongcheng secretly helped Zhong Wuxiu rise, and eventually Fengchicheng accepted it as his own. Later, because of Zhong Wuxiu's hard work and achievements, Mingdongcheng decided to let Zhong Wuxiu challenge the leader single-handedly.
Xiu didn't refuse, so he took the decision with his family to Fengchi City.
In the following ten years, Zhong Wuxiu has been diligently taking care of the Zhong family's trivial matters, and as a result, the Zhong family has become a little bit more glorious. Of course, Ming Dongcheng's support for Zhong Wuxiu is indispensable for this, which is the transaction in eighteen years.
Originally, Zhong Wuxiu was not qualified to participate in the meeting. But in the end, had it not been for Ming Dongcheng’s intentional recommendation, the Zhong family would not have spent huge sums of money to obtain the three treasures.
Since then, the Zhong family has risen in Zhongtian. Originally, the rise of the Zhong family was a blessing rather than a curse for Mingdong City. However, in recent years, Zhong Wuxiu’s ambitions have finally come to light. First there was a turf war. The Zhong family fought for Fengchi City and Zhongtian.
There were two consecutive conflicts in the valleys in the middle of Tiancheng, the mineral veins in the mountains, and the production of medicinal materials. They also took away several transport routes. In the end, the Zhong family simply raised their flag and became known as the first family of Taixuan.
.At this point, Ming Dongcheng realized that he was in trouble by raising tigers.
Ming Dongcheng brought people to question Zhong Wuxiu why he did this, but the answer was that Zhong Wuxiu had nearly reached the sixth level of martial arts. After the battle was tied with Zhong Wuxiu, Ming Dongcheng realized that the serious matter was over, so he retreated to Zhongtian, twice
Suffering. Unexpectedly, Zhong Wuxiu went too far. The Ming family had ten beauties in Ming City and the Zhong family had six servants in Fengchi, but Zhong Wuxiu was still not satisfied. Especially in the past three years, the Zhong family has developed rapidly and gradually extended its tentacles.
Reaching back to Zhongtian City, it caused the internal collapse of Shixiu. His intentions were unclear, and there was a danger of defection at any time.
The mention of old grudges is complicated and no one can explain clearly. In the final analysis, the Zhong family is engaged in an affair with the Ming family, and they are very determined to never give up. Therefore, the Zhong and Ming families have always been at odds. The funeral ceremony was held in Mingdong City.
At this time, the appearance of the Zhong family undoubtedly intensified the grief of the Ming family for losing their master, so the Ming family had this reaction.
All the Ming family members stood up. Ming Chengfeng frowned and held the hilt of his sword. It seemed that if something happened, he would definitely take action without hesitation and kill these ungrateful people with his sword.
Feng Jueyu generally knew something about the dispute between the Zhong family and the Ming family. When he inadvertently raised his head to take a good look at Zhong Wuxiu, he suddenly found a familiar figure. This person was none other than Mr. Zhong.
"It seems that the Lin family and the Zhong family have come together."
He looked at Cheng Mingqing again: What's going on with this old guy? Three families appeared at the same time. Could it be that the Cheng family has also turned against the Zhong family?
"What are you doing here?" Ming Chengfeng stepped forward and asked, his tone was unfair and slightly sullen. As for Mrs. Ming, she remained silent.
Zhong Wuxiu glanced sideways at Ming Chengfeng, full of disdain. Considering his age, he could not argue with a junior. Zhong Wuxiu ignored Ming Chengfeng and bowed in front of Mrs. Feng Rulan with both hands.
He bowed and said: "Wuxiu heard the sad news that the master of the family has passed away, so he came to pay homage and ask Madam to express my condolences and stop by."
These words were polite and decent, and there was no room for others to get angry. It can be seen that Zhong Wuxiu's rise from nothing to today's glory is definitely not due to luck. At least, this old guy's palace is so deep that it makes people feel scary.
Feng Rulan's face was cold, her sullenness not diminishing. No matter how much he hated Zhong Wuxiu, he couldn't be rude and make trouble in front of everyone. After all, they were here to worship. If he didn't give him this face, he wouldn't let anyone know if it spread.
Does it mean that the family is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others?
The old lady waved her hand slightly and said: "Chengfeng, step back." Then she raised her hand with one hand: "Master Zhong is interested, please..."
The heavy atmosphere lingered in the funeral hall for a long time. Coupled with the depression of Ming Dongcheng's recent death, the hall was extremely cold. It felt as if someone had been stripped naked and thrown into the freezing snow.
help.
Zhong Wuxiu nodded, with a look of sorrow on his face. He silently fluttered his sleeves, shook his robe, knelt down on his knees, and cried out sadly: "Send me off to my lord..."
Then he said: "Wuxiu received the favor of the city lord, which is why Fengchi is what it is today. Wuxiu will never forget it. My lord is well on his way. When Wuxiu finds out the murderer of my lord, Wuxiu will enshrine his head in the grave."
In front of my lord's tomb, I would like to inform my master's spirit in heaven..."
As he spoke, Zhong Wuxiu bowed down with great sadness.
However, this move aroused the scorn of all the Ming family. Is Zhong Wuxiu willing to avenge Mingdongcheng? It is simply a big joke. Who doesn’t know that no one in Zhongtian City hopes that Mingdongcheng will die more than Zhong Wuxiu? You
It's already good if you don't raise a toast to celebrate, but you can also comfort other people's spirits in heaven, just tell lies with your eyes open.
In fact, everyone understands that Zhong Wuxiu's pretentiousness is nothing more than promoting his own righteousness and not forgetting his roots. Unfortunately, in addition to being looked down upon by others, only a few guys who don't know the truth will cast a few appreciative smiles.
Invisible gaze.
After the worship ceremony, Lin Zhenhai and Cheng Mingqing also came forward one after another, followed by the heads of the Lu family, Jing family, and Yun family. The ceremony continued until the afternoon, and basically everyone bowed down, and then in the back hall
Flattery tea, logically speaking, this process is just a formality. Most people can basically go back after having tea. Afterwards, during the burial, if they are close to each other, they can go and watch the ceremony. However, everyone present seems to have no intention of leaving.
Feng Jueyu had been kneeling in front of him for most of the day and his back was sore. He took the opportunity to tell Ming Chengfeng to go to the back hall for a drink of water. He didn't listen to the rest of the words. Unexpectedly, he just took a few sips and suddenly suddenly
A figure stopped in front of him, it was Lin Xin.
This haunted guy recognized Feng Jueyu at a glance, and immediately laughed in the back hall regardless of the presence of many family heads: "Feng Jueyu, why are you dressed like this? Could it be that you also have an illegitimate son who is the lord of Ming City?
"
In fact, he had seen Feng Jueyu a long time ago and never took the opportunity to belittle him. When he happened to return to the back hall, the two of them bumped into each other. How could Lin Xin dare to miss such a great opportunity? As soon as he said these words
, all the owners in the back hall turned their gazes, and after a quick look at Qing Qing, they realized that Feng Jueyu was the guy who had good luck in getting a white ring bead from the second-class treasure at the fair, and they couldn't help but think.
Be suspicious.
Feng Jueyu was just bowing his head in sadness, and had no time to pay attention to Lin Xin. He raised his head and glanced at him. He walked aside helplessly, picked up the tea cup, drank it, and then left.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xinbu stepped in front of him and said, "You haven't answered me yet."
Now that Xing Kun's troubles have been dealt with, it doesn't mean that Feng Jueyu can cause trouble. He really doesn't want to get involved with people like Lin Xin, but this kid is too ignorant of current affairs. Ming Dongcheng Da Dian actually said such a thing
, Fortunately, the Ming family is still performing filial piety in front of the hall, otherwise he would have been kicked out without having to take action himself.
Feng Jueyu tilted his head and looked at Lin Xin, and said only one sentence: "Mr. Lin, today is the grand ceremony for the Lord of Ming City. I hope you can accumulate some moral integrity."
Originally, he was reminding Lin Xin not to talk nonsense, but the boy mistakenly thought that Feng Jueyulu was timid and laughed loudly: "Haha, you are scared. I thought why did you surnamed Feng act so unscrupulously in Zhongtian City? It turns out that you and the Ming family
There is also this relationship.”
As soon as he said this, Feng Jueyu knew that he had no excuses. He should not have put on mourning clothes today and appeared at the family table. Looking at the faces of the family heads around him, they all looked like they had suddenly realized it. No matter how hard he tried to explain it,
It's no use either.
Feng Jueyu simply ignored him. At this moment, Feng Rulan and even all the Ming family members came. According to Feng Jueyu's observation, except for a few younger women and children, these people were all from the Ming family.
The principals included Ming Chengfeng, accompanied by Mrs. Ming, followed by Wang Jiutong, followed by Zhong Wuxiu, Lin Zhenhai, Cheng Mingqing, and even Chen Wankong, the head of the Chen family, Lu Weijiang, the head of the Lu family, Yun Yurong, the head of the Yun family, and Yun Yurong, the head of the Jing family.
The head of the family, Jing Juexin, was all present, striding into the back hall like a grand event.
Feng Jueyu and Lin Xin were standing by the door. In fact, it was difficult to see them from this angle. Feng Rulan and Zhong Wuxiu didn't even look at who was in the hall. They approached directly and Feng Rulan sat down.
He was at the top of the center, with a serious and cold face, as if something big had happened, making the old man very angry.
After entering the hall, everyone put down their teacups. There was no need to offer a seat. Zhong Wuxiu sat at the bottom of the table on the left, followed by Lin Zhenhai and Cheng Mingqing.
When everyone was seated, Feng Rulan asked with a cold face: "If there is something that City Master Zhong has to say, don't be afraid to speak out. I just listen."
Zhong Wuxiu said he didn't dare, and then opened his mouth to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, Feng Jueyu realized that something was wrong.
"What Zhong wants to say is, the jurisdiction of Nakano Castle..."
