"However, if they succeed this time, there is no guarantee that there will be no next time, or the next time. Could it be that the people of the second city lord can actually ride on the heads of the big city lord?"
Su Chen asked.
In fact, this is also the reason why he has always been puzzled. Why does it seem that the people of the second city lord are more arrogant, but the power of the big city lord is restricted everywhere?
"There is no way. The main issue is the longevity of our Huangfu family. The big city lord also knows about it. Therefore, the big city lord also has a wait-and-see attitude towards the prospects of our Huangfu family."
Huangfu felt helpless and said.
"So, the Second City Lord took advantage of the situation and came in. It can even be said that it was not the Second City Lord who couldn't calm down, but the group of hawks and dogs around the Second City Lord who couldn't calm down."
Su Chen said.
"You can put it this way. In short, it's not that the big city lord doesn't want to take action, but that there is not enough reason to take action."
Huangfujue sighed, "You have to calm down about this matter. I promise you that I will continue to think of a solution."
"I have an idea."
Su Chen said, "You can treat the person in his own way."
"How to say?"
Huangfu felt stunned.
"Since they can fabricate a handle about the Immortal Medicine Pavilion and arrest the people from the Immortal Medicine Pavilion, then the big city lord can also use the same method."
Su Chen said.
"This...is easier said than done."
Huangfujue shook his head, "If we find a similar excuse now to arrest some of the other party's people, the tit-for-tat meaning will be too obvious. Although the big city lord is not afraid, if he does this, he will inevitably appear petty and teach others
Unless we can find a very convincing excuse that can silence everyone."
"Then, what if I can find such a convincing handle?"
Su Chen smiled lightly and asked.
"Oh? You really have a way?"
Huangfujue's eyes lit up. To put it bluntly, the reason why the big city lord was constrained was that he didn't have enough excuses to take action. If he could get a convincing handle from the opponent, then he would have this excuse.
As Su Chen said, treating others with their own medicine, tit for tat, are the basic rules of the martial arts world.
If the big city lord is suppressed this time, it may not be noticeable in the short term, but in the long run, it will be a huge blow to the big city lord's authority.
The big city lord will definitely not be able to accept this. The reason why they are not taking action now is simply because the big city lord himself is practicing in seclusion. Without his own orders, the following general managers dare not make decisions without authorization.
However, if you have such a convincing excuse, you will be famous. Even if there is no order from the big city lord himself, several general managers can still give the order.
Of course, the premise is that this excuse must be able to silence everyone, even the people on the Second City Lord's side must have nothing to say.
It is very difficult to do this.
Huangfujue looked at Su Chen expectantly, obviously wanting to hear what good ideas Su Chen had.
Su Chen smiled faintly and said something to Huangfu Jue via sound transmission.
As soon as he said these words, Huangfujue's eyes lit up, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he began to think about it, and his expression gradually became more and more surprised.
"Wonderful!"
Huangfujue suddenly slapped his thigh, "This method is absolutely feasible. Hit the snake seven inches! This time, we must hit their seven inches to make them paralyzed!"
As he said that, Huangfujue excitedly walked around the room a few times, and then, as if remembering something, he came to Su Chen, "By the way, brother, are you sure that Alchemy Saint can refine the elixir recipe?"
"Yes, as long as you are an Alchemist, there will definitely be no problem. Of course, the higher the level, the better."
Su Chen nodded decisively.
"Don't worry about this. There will be no mediocre alchemy saints under the great city lord. Moreover, if you donate the alchemy recipe, your weight in the great city lord's power will immediately soar!"
Huangfujue said excitedly.
"Then, without further ado, let's go meet those managers now?"
Su Chen asked.
"Okay, let's go now! We have to hurry up, tomorrow is the day when the Tong family's Immortal Pavilion will reopen."
Huangfujue nodded.
…
at the same time.
The Tong family's mansion is brightly lit.
In the bustling banquet hall, the head of the Tong family sat side by side with a middle-aged man. Others sat at the bottom.
Looking around, the scene was crowded with many distinguished guests, including four heads of the Jinying family alone.
"Brother Hui, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I'll do it first as a courtesy. The Immortal Pill Pavilion will reopen tomorrow. Brother Hui, if you are free, can you come?"
The head of the Tong family raised his wine glass and faced the middle-aged man beside him with a smile on his face.
This middle-aged man is none other than Manager Hui of the Second City Lord's Mansion. He is a highly trusted confidant of the Second City Lord and the sworn brother of the head of the Tong family.
"I'm just fulfilling my duties, so there's no need to say thank you. As for tomorrow, I have something else to do, so I won't go there yet, but I will tell my subordinates to pay close attention."
Manager Hui is very reserved. Although he is a butler in name, he is actually a butler.
His status is higher than that of the heads of the Jinying family who are present. These heads of the Jinying family have to respect him and even fawn over him.
When the head of the Tong family heard what he said, he was slightly disappointed, but the smile on his face did not diminish: "Brother Hui has something to do, so of course I can't force him. With your name standing there, who doesn't have the eyesight to dare to cause trouble?"
"Yes, Mr. Hui personally spoke. Who dares?"
"Come, come, let's all have a toast to Master Hui."
The few Jinying families present are all close friends of the Second City Lord.
Manager Hui was not too disrespectful to these people. He raised his glass and everyone drank together.
"Brother Hui, what do you plan to do with the Zhang family's father and son?"
The head of the Tong family asked.
"Elixirs are adulterated and harm people's lives. These evildoers should be beheaded. After waiting for a while, I will report to the Second City Lord and behead these people in public!"
Manager Hui's tone was extremely cold.
…
Early in the morning, Tianxin Street was busier than usual.
As everyone knows, today is the day when the Tong family’s Immortal Pavilion reopens.
Everyone is curious, will there be any commotion this time the Immortal Pavilion reopens? Will there be another gambling game like last time?
Of course, everyone knows that the other party in the last bet, the Immortal Medicine Pavilion, has been ruined. Even the Zhang family and his son have been arrested, and the Huangfu family is powerless to do anything about it.
Therefore, there should be no good show for the opening of Xiandan Pavilion this time.
But despite knowing this, many people can't help but want to join in the fun.
