Of course, the Feng family cannot be the only one. There are about a dozen families like his in Haisheng City, and there are even dozens of second-rate families.
And Haisheng City is not as good as Jiangzhou City. Haisheng City is the largest city in the center of the seven southern provinces of Chu State.
The population is as high as several million, several times that of Jiangzhou, and the person in charge of Sea Saint City is Sea Saint King.
"Miss is back!" At this time, someone saw the whereabouts of the big eagle and shouted loudly. Suddenly, Feng Mansion became lively.
"Old Master, I'm back." Feng Jiuxue was also very happy and trotted all the way into the hall.
"Hahaha, ok, ok, my Jiu Xue is back." An energetic old man appeared in the hall with a big smile.
The old man has a round face, a purple robe with large flowers, and his hair is all white, pinned with a hairpin.
He is the oldest person in the Feng family, Feng Jianwu, the old man of the Feng family, who is almost a hundred years old.
"Jiuxue has met Grandpa." Feng Jiuxue said with her fists clasped.
"Okay, okay, no need to greet you, sit down quickly." Mrs. Feng said with a smile, and the servants served tea.
"Xue'er is back?" Soon, Feng Chaodong, the current head of the Feng family, came in with a smile.
"Is dad okay? Where is mother?" Feng Jiuxue asked.
"Anhao, of course Anhao, your mother has gone to burn incense." Feng Chaodong said.
"Is this promotion successful? Otherwise, your master will not let you go down the mountain." Feng Jianwu asked.
"Yes, advanced to two levels in a row." Feng Jiuxue nodded proudly.
"Hahaha, my Feng family will definitely produce a first-class strong man in the future." Feng Jianwu stroked his beard and laughed.
"Xue'er is only seventeen years old and is already in the late third-grade stage. First-grade is nothing, and it is possible to reach the 'super-grade' realm." Feng Chaodong said.
"Well, Xue'er must work harder and show off the prestige of our Feng family." Feng Jianwu nodded.
"By the way, father has been writing to me, what's the matter?" Feng Jiuxue asked.
"It happened to your great-grandfather back then. Back then, your great-grandfather had a brother who was a disciple of Yanling County, Linghai Province. His surname was Fang.
Of course, the great-grandfather of the Fang family died long ago.
However, some time ago, Fang Qiang, a descendant of the Fang family, sent a letter to his servant, asking for our help." Feng Chaodong said.
"What to help?" Feng Jiuxue asked.
"I heard that a boy named Tang Wen provoked them. He was a down-and-out nobleman.
He actually killed Kang Qingfeng, the helmsman of Yanling Liufan Branch, who had been helping the Fang family.
Later, in order to please Tang Wen, the new helmsman bullied the Fang family everywhere.
The Fang family couldn't bear it any longer, so they begged to come under our door.
Xue'er, this is within your jurisdiction, so you took care of Tang Wenzi, lest the Fang family say that we don't miss our old relationship." Feng Chaodong said.
"No matter what happens to the Fang family and us now, in the past, the Fang family's great-grandfather worked with me. We can't watch the descendants of the Fang family being bullied in this matter." Feng Jianwu said with a sullen face.
"Okay, I'll go back to the department tomorrow to have a look. I'll just pick a time to go to Hailing to handle it." Feng Jiuxue nodded.
"You have won two yuan this time. Is it possible that you will take the position of the leader of the Blood Killing Hall?" Feng Chaodong asked.
"I'll work hard for it, right? However, the Blood Killing Hall is no small matter and is different from other halls.
Although I said my skills were successfully promoted, all the old hall masters have reached the third level of perfection.
Even among half-step second-level experts, there is still a gap between me and them." Feng Jiuxue said.
"This time is different, your old hall master seems to be ill.
You haven't been to the Yamen since you left, and Liushansi also sent people to ask about you several times.
You may be asked to take over the position of hall leader first, and if you perform well in the future, you can officially take up the post.
This is an opportunity, you must seize it.
If you can take the position of the hall leader, our family will be different in Haisheng City." Feng Chaodong said.
Gu Yun
"Well, I will go to the Yamen early tomorrow morning. This time, the master even gave me the 'Moon Summoning Sword'. It is very sharp." Feng Jiuxue nodded.
"Moon-Calling Sword, I heard that this sword was the weapon that made the one-armed god Ni famous. It was made by a generation of sword-smithing masters, and it can cut iron like mud." Feng Chaodong was stunned, and suddenly his eyebrows grew with joy.
"Of course, the master used it to kill thirty-six grass bandits in the North with one sword, and everyone in the world was frightened by the sword." Feng Jiuxue said with a proud look on her face.
"Hahaha, when the time comes, my Xue'er will also use it to kill hundreds of bandits with one sword and shock the Chu Dynasty." Feng Jianwu laughed.
The next morning, Ximen Taigao came again.
"Sir, they agreed."
"I'm afraid there are conditions?" Tang Wen glanced at him and asked.
"That's true." Ximen Taigao hesitated and said.
"Dad, you can't ask for excessive prices. I am a good man." Lan Yun'er said.
"This is a family matter, why do you, a woman, care about it?" Ximen Tai said with a straight face.
"Sir, we have discussed it. Yunhai Sect has put a lot of effort into it over the past few decades, and there are many masters in the sect.
Moreover, our Yunhaimen also accounts for a large share in shipping, and our ships are transporting the surrounding islands.
I have a population of 3856 in Yunhaimen, and there are more than 500 people who are unwilling to sell themselves.
Just let them go, we distributed silver coins to them yesterday, and they can make a living on their own," Wang Haiting said.
"Oh, who are these people who are unwilling to sell themselves?" Tang Wen asked.
"Li Liufeng and Lin Tianwei have left, and our Yunhai Sect has lost several masters.
Everything else is fine, but the people who walk are not very skilled.
But, after all, I am a disciple of Yunhai Sect. As the sect leader, I am incompetent and I feel ashamed of my ancestors." Ximen Taigao said with a pained look on his face.
"So, they put forward a condition. The Tang family has to pay us six million taels of silver and we will distribute it. Otherwise, they are afraid that more people will leave. At that time, Yunhaimen will be dispersed." Wang Haiting said.
"Six million taels, is Yunhaimen worth this?" Luo Yiwu said unhappily.
"Haha, you are so poor now that you can't even afford one million taels, so why would you want six million taels?" Yan Beitian sneered.
"Dad, six million taels is too high. Even the master can't afford it. Can it be less?" Lan Yun'er said.
"Shut up, I! If you keep talking, I'll drive you out of the house." Ximen Taigao suddenly became angry.
"I..." Lan Yun'er yelled, and immediately burst into tears.
"You fired Lan Yun'er in the first place. She is now a slave of the Tang family. You have no right to get angry at her." Gu Han said with anger.
Woman, the two of them were at odds yesterday, but they actually made up again today. Tang Wen shook his head in his heart.
Women, what are they made of?
"That's the condition. If Sir Alex thinks it's okay, just sign the contract." Ximentai said coldly.
"Your conditions are very high. You only have more than 3,300 people left in total.
Six million taels, even if it is spread over everyone's head, there will be two thousand taels.
Haha, are your handymen who are only ninth- and tenth-grade disciples worth two thousand taels?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"But we have quite a few strong people of sixth grade and above, about one hundred and fifty of us in total.
What's more, even though Li Liufeng and Lin Tianwei left, we still have seven or eight fourth-level experts left.
What's more, the leader is still in the third rank.
What does a fourth-grade strong person mean? Each one has to be sold for at least one hundred thousand taels. Are you sorry, Master, if you don’t give me five hundred thousand taels?
Also, these are people, we still have property, a lot of houses, ships, and cannons.
These are all money, and a firegun costs several hundred taels of silver.
A black cannon plus shells costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and we have dozens of them..." Wang Haiting said.
"Elder Wang, you are really good at calculating. It would be a pity for you not to go to the account." Tang Wen sneered,
