"I can't hide anything from you."

Yu Renlong smiled bitterly, and then said with a cold face: "Li Yuanbiao still refuses to be accommodating. There is insufficient evidence to bite him to death, so we can only act according to the rules."

"Humph, there's not enough evidence? Then Li Yuanbiao really thinks that my Yu family is easy to mess with. How about we take action directly?"

Zhao Yun's face was as cold as frost and she snorted coldly.

"Don't be impatient. We are one against three and we are outnumbered. I am going to report to the clan first and wait for the clan's reply before making any plans."

Yu Renlong's face was as sinking as water.

Qingshan City is most famous for its minerals. Most of the mines are controlled by the four major families, namely the Yu family, the Wang family, the Meng family, and the Cheng family, and the government. The government does not participate in the mining, but only regulates and collects heavy taxes from the four major families.

.

Outside Qingshan City are hundreds of thousands of mountains, endless and boundless, and new mines are often discovered.

There are rules for the allocation of new mines,

If it is discovered by one of the four major families, the discovering family will have priority in mining.

If forces other than the four companies discover it, they will be purchased by the four companies and then distributed. The distribution method is that each of the four companies will send ten masters to compete, and the shares of the mining rights of the new mine will be distributed according to the number of wins.

This rule is a method jointly agreed upon by the ancestors of the four families and the government, and has been used for hundreds of years.

But this time, the other three companies broke the rules.

Not long ago, someone discovered an iron mine deep in Shiwanda Mountain.

The four families prepared to compete according to the rules.

The Yu family has always had many experts, and they always capture the largest share. This time, they are also sharpening their knives, preparing to win the biggest piece of cake.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the competition, an assassin suddenly broke into Yu's house and assassinated Yu Guihai.

After hearing the news, Yu Renlong and his wife hurried back, and finally arrived when the family's remaining guards could no longer support themselves, and saved Yu Guihai's life.

However, the Yu family also lost its strongest combat power and backbone. Under the deliberate targeting of other families, it was completely defeated. It even lost ten games in a row and completely lost its mining rights.

Yu Renlong later found out that this newly discovered iron mine was actually accompanied by iron essence, and it was an iron concentrate mine.

Iron essence is a good thing. It can forge weapons at the level of magical weapons. It is extremely valuable to warriors.

Yu Renlong thought about it and suddenly understood that the other three families had obviously known the news in advance, so they ignored the rules and joined forces to trick the Yu family.

Yu Renlong knew the inside story and naturally refused to give up.

The hatred that his son was almost assassinated, coupled with the value of the iron concentrate, prevented him from giving up easily.

In addition to bringing a lot of wealth, the iron spirit can also create magical weapons, which greatly enhances the strength of the family masters. If you turn it in to the people behind it, you will definitely get a lot of rewards.

At that time, due to the decline of each other, the strength of the other three masters has greatly increased, and it is easy to overwhelm the Yu family.

In the near future, the Yu family may even fall behind among the four major families in Qingshan City, which would be dangerous.

Yu Renlong immediately took the assassin's body and filed for arbitration with the government, saying that the other three families were using a conspiracy to request the redistribution of mining rights.

However, the city lord Li Yuanbiao directly rejected it on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to prove that it was the conspiracy of the other three families.

He went to look for it again and again, but Li Yuanbiao didn't let up at all. The result of going today was the same.

"I'm so stupid because of the power!"

Yu Renlong sneered.

The four major families are able to firmly dominate the Qingshan City mines. In addition to the power behind them, their own unity is also an important reason.

Although they usually have constant disputes, if anyone touches the interests of the mine, the four families will immediately watch and help each other. Only then can they resist the outside tigers and wolves and firmly occupy the Qingshan City Mine.

And the reason why we can be so united depends on the rules of our ancestors. This is the bottom line!

But this time, for an iron concentrate, the other three families broke their rules, which was equivalent to breaking the foundation of trust. From now on, the four families will be suspicious of each other, and it will never be possible to return to the past.

Even if the three companies join forces, they will inevitably be wary and suspicious of each other, making it difficult to stay united.

If there is a strong external enemy, it may be difficult to unite sincerely, and the possibility of being defeated individually increases greatly.

"We were careless this time. We didn't expect that the other three families would break the rules left by our ancestors and use such despicable methods to deal with us. Huh, aren't they afraid that we will do the same thing in return?"

Yu Renlong said with a cold glint in his eyes.

"I've thought about this matter over and over, and I don't think it's that simple. How could the three of them know the inside story in advance? And then they reached a tacit understanding so quickly and suddenly joined forces? There must be something fishy in it. We have to be careful and guard against it." Zhao Yun reminded with a solemn expression.

Yu Renlong was thoughtful after hearing this.

"What you said makes sense. Is there any conspiracy involved? The other three families should know that due to the preciousness of iron concentrate, the clan will never give up. So why are they still doing this?"

After all, the four major families are just the spokespersons of the forces above. The real encounter with important treasures such as iron concentrate still depends on the game played by the above.

"As long as they refuse to admit it, even the clan can do nothing about it. After all, the four forces on the clan's side have already established rules. The distribution of the mines in Qingshan City mainly depends on the four of us. The clan cannot easily interfere. Unless we can show convincing results

Evidence." Zhao Yun sneered.

"As a result, the clan's evaluation of us will be low, and a punishment will be inevitable." Yu Renlong sighed lightly.

"This matter is beyond our ability now. We should inform the clan as soon as possible. You can ask the second elder to help and minimize the impact." Zhao Yun said.

"Alas! This is all we can do for now. I will spread the news today." Yu Renlong said with a bitter smile.

In the study room of the Yu family, Yu Renlong was hunched over his desk and writing furiously.

Next, a kind old man with gray hair and beard stood with his hands lowered. The old man's face was solemn, his attitude was respectful, and occasionally a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

This is the Yu family's old butler Yu Liang. He has assisted the Yu family for two generations and is a distant relative. He is loyal and loyal. His strength is based on the inner energy realm and is one of the strongest combat forces in the Yu family.

"Uncle Liang, send someone secretly out of the city to deliver this letter to the clan."

After Yu Renlong finished writing, he dried the ink, stuffed the paper into an envelope, sealed it with a seal and handed it to Yu Renlong.

"Old slave, I obey." Yu Liang took it with both hands and turned to leave.

"Drive, drive, drive"

Three fast horses galloped on the official road leading to Yuqingzhou. The people on the horses were all dressed in gray and well-dressed. They carried wild goose feather swords on their backs. Their faces were serious, their eyes were like eagles, and they were very capable.

If you look closely, you will see that they all have the word "Yu" embroidered on their chests.

Suddenly, a man in black robes appeared in front of the road. This man wore a mask with a grimace on his head and exuded a sense of death, which was very strange.

"Rush over!"

The leader's eyes flashed, and he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he gave a soft drink and urged the horse to speed up. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the Yanling knife. Taking advantage of the horse's momentum, the knife flashed like lightning and struck hard at the black-robed ghost-faced man.

And arrived.

At this time, anyone who hides his head and tail appears in this wilderness to block the road. There will definitely be no good people to kill!

"kill!"

The ghost-faced man roared, like a ghost howling, which was terrifying.

Then the figure flashed like a black smoke, easily dodging the sharp knife and passing by the three riders.

"Kekeke~"

Plop, plop, plop
