After a long period of jolting, the carriage finally stopped slowly in front of the gate of Zhang Mansion.
The person standing at the door of the Zhang Mansion is also the current head of the Zhang family in Wu County - Zhang Yun.
Zhang Wen stood behind Zhang Yun at this moment, looking a little timid, not for anything else, but because the person they were about to welcome had taken down all of them in the past ten years in less than a month.
Chen Fuan was troubled by this—this alone was enough to make Zhang Wen feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.
In his eyes... his father has been an omnipotent existence since he was young.
But in the past ten years, the blows Zhang has suffered can simply be described as horrific.
Outside - there was Chen Fuan, a white-eyed wolf who saw the right opportunity to stab them. Inside... Zhang Zhao's appearance suppressed a group of Zhang family elders and family heads headed by Zhang Yun.
Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come singly, and when the house leaks, it rains all night long... These words are not inconsistent with Mrs. Zhang at this moment.
And this also created Zhang Wen's gradually cowardly character——
Just when Zhang Yun and Zhang Wen were thinking about something in their minds, a young face came out of the car.
The moment he went out, everyone held their breath - even though most of the people present were Zhang's people, but... everyone, including Zhang Yun and Zhang Wen, learned from this smiling young man.
I felt a strange pressure on my body.
This person is extremely dangerous!
In an instant, such a warning appeared in Zhang Yun's mind.
But... the deal is already done, the other party has already arrived at the door of his house. The key is that Zhang Zhao, the unstoppable vicious dog, is also quietly waiting for this person's arrival in the house.
From this moment on, Zhang Yun understood that after the protagonist of this negotiation appeared, even he was nothing more than a foil.
The most important thing for him to do is to lower his profile and not cause trouble for no reason.

When Yi Xiaotian got out of the car, his legs were still a little weak.
To be fair... a family like the Zhang family in Wu County is second to none in Jiangdong in terms of financial resources and manpower.
But this time to pick him up, Zhang sent such a crude formation - it could be seen just from the movements of the people who were traveling with him...
The two Zhang's stewards had faces full of pain at the moment. The bumpy road and the hard seats of the carriage had caused their penises to be punished no less than the family law. After Yi Xiaotian got off the car, the two of them
While holding his buttocks, he staggered out of the car. Even though it was so painful, he still had to apologize to Yi Xiaotian.
"Why bother..."
Yi Xiaotian helplessly muttered in his heart:
"If you want to use this as a way to show off your power and kill my prestige...Zhang Zhao...that's all you can do."
——
He said this in his heart, but on the surface Yi Xiaotian still behaved quite amiably.
He walked lightly, put his hands behind his back, and was polite... Just this look left the Zhang family with no room for criticism.
After a few steps in front of Zhang Yun, Yi Xiaotian cupped his hands and flattered:
"I have heard for a long time that the Zhang family in Wu County was created by Duke Zhang. Today I am lucky enough to see it. Sure enough, Duke Zhang has a heroic spirit that makes people admire him!"
"Hahaha... Shopkeeper Zhan is ridiculous. Recently, Shopkeeper Zhan caused great changes when he first arrived in Kuaiji. He eliminated harm for the people and brought down the bully Chen Fuan. That has already spread throughout Wuhui - don't talk about me.
No matter how heroic you are, no one can compare to the heroic young shopkeeper!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the scene was joyful.
It's just that the two of them had their own thoughts about this encounter.
Yi Xiaotian is just not surprised - because he looks relatively young, as long as he dresses up a little, he will always be recognized as a young man in his twenties by others.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian himself is also very young at heart, but he has been struggling in this troubled world for more than ten years, and there is a big difference between the age in his heart and the age shown in his appearance - and he always takes advantage of this...
Many people will always despise Yi Xiaotian when they see him looking young. Over time, this phenomenon has become a unique disguise of Yi Xiaotian.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was not his intention. After all, before he said anything, it was clear that the other party thought he was easy to bully.
On the other side, Zhang Yun was naturally confused about Yi Xiaotian's age.
"This guy looks so young, I'm afraid he's not much older than Wen'er...how...how could he put so much pressure on me?"
Zhang Yun observed Yi Xiaotian without any trace...but could not feel a trace of panic or inappropriateness from his words and actions.
Is this really the kind of courage a young man in his twenties can possess?
Knowing that he could not delay for too long, Zhang Yun changed the subject and hurriedly said to Yi Xiaotian:
"Ahem... It's getting late, but business is more important. Mr. Zhang Ge has been waiting in the mansion for a long time... Shopkeeper Zhan, let's talk while we're walking?"
"I'll just follow Mr. Zhang!"
Yi Xiaotian also stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture. The two of them walked into Zhang's house politely, one behind the other.
Zhang Wen and other members of the Zhang family were lagging behind, but they also followed closely - the door of Zhang's mansion slowly closed with a heavy shaking sound, and Yi Xiaotian's first game after arriving in Wu County was already complete.
form.
——
Compared with Gu Mansion, Zhang Mansion appears to be darker. There are many trails in it, extending in all directions. If there is no one to guide you, you will easily get lost in it.
Under Zhang Yun's leadership, Yi Xiaotian also moved quickly.
After walking around for a long time, the whole meeting hall of Zhang Mansion appeared in front of us.
Sure enough...the apparent simplicity of the Zhang Mansion is just to conceal its true grandeur.
A majestic pavilion appeared in front of Yi Xiaotian's eyes, with vermilion porch columns and carved wooden fences.
Strict armored guards appeared on both sides of the road. Without warning, just looking at this formation would have made Yi Xiaotian think that this was the layout of the mansion created by the talents of some noble family.
Yi Xiaotian walked and looked all the way, and when he stopped in front of the meeting hall, he already had a basic view of Zhang.
The Gu family's mansion is full of luxury and extravagance, but when it comes to etiquette, you only need to do a little research to find that the Gu family's mansion actually does not exceed the scope of the etiquette system.
Conservatism is still their main idea.
As for Mrs. Zhang... Judging from the architectural style that she tried so hard to cover up just now, as well as the illegal structure hidden deep in the heart of the mansion, Mrs. Zhang's heart... I'm afraid she wants to be a courtier...
Of course, Yi Xiaotian does not intend to expose these.
At least for now, Zhang doesn't have the courage, and it won't have any impact on him.
So the main purpose of Yi Xiaotian's visit this time is to gain the trust of the giant Zhang - even if it is only temporary.
"Shopkeeper Zhan, please... Mr. Ge is inside, so we won't go in."
Zhang Yun said this in a deep voice.
Yi Xiaotian didn't respond and just walked straight into the meeting hall.
He wanted to see if this Zhang Zhao... was a cunning old fox as he thought.
