At this moment, the Li family's main hall was filled with people from the Li family who had put down all kinds of business and gathered together.
The five people at the top had different expressions. Three of them were calm and solemn, while the other two were a little lazy, but no one dared to raise their opinions.
Because they are the real talkers of the Li family.
On both sides of the middle statue are the head of the Li family, the head of the main hall on the left, the head of the main hall on the right, the head of the civil affairs hall and the head of the Xie Zheng hall.
They are respectively responsible for people's livelihood, business, politics, seats and a series of things related to Heyun City.
The Li family is one of the de facto leaders of Heyun City. The family's power is huge and its tentacles cover everything in Heyun.
The candle burned and crackled, giving the dark hall a trace of undetectable yellow light.
The dozens of people below were all sitting upright and silent, like good kids in class.
The head of the family, Li Yuanzong, propped up his chin and looked a little distracted. He was the first to speak: "Let's begin the regular meeting."
As he spoke, the three people sitting in front of him immediately straightened up and began to report on the family situation in recent days.
The man in the center bent down and said: "I would like to report to the head of the family, the family's acquisition of farmland and land outside the city has accelerated. Under ideal conditions, it is expected to reach 70% or more control between April and May this year.
rate, but the family guest always believes that the Zhang family will become an obstacle on this road. If the Zhang family interferes, the family acquisition will be frustrated and the monopoly will be postponed indefinitely. Please give the family head a preventive policy."
Li Yuanzong didn't even think for a moment, and immediately said: "The part of the army controlled by the family will open some command rights to you. Before May this year, if the control rate is still less than 70%, just come to me with your head.
"
"Yes!" the questioner responded and sat down.
The man standing on the right side of the first reporter saluted to the five people above him and said: "To the head of the family, the riots in the slums in the city have become more and more intense recently. The family guest believes that they should be strictly controlled, otherwise the family's reputation will be greatly damaged.
, it is not conducive for the family to continue to manage the resource areas on the outskirts of the city."
Li Yuanzong yawned boredly, and the master of the Xie Zhengtang understood what he was thinking and reprimanded: "What does the slum matter have to do with the family? Isn't that the area managed by gangs outside the city? If the gangs outside the city can't manage it well, the family will
Nature will do what is right for heaven, but for now, let’s just wait and see.”
"I understand." The speaker standing on the right nodded slightly and sat down slowly.
The reporter on the left immediately took over the topic: "Reporting to the family leader, the northern defense zone has been defeated, and the evil erosion has become more serious. Although the family has recruited a large number of death squads and exorcists, the situation is still not optimistic. The family guest believes that,
If this situation continues, it will not take two years for the evil to spread to Heyun City."
"Then what do you think should be done?" Li Yuanwu, the leader of the Zuozhu Hall, opened his eyes, and a surge of majesty came to his face.
The reporter on the left swallowed lightly and quickly replied: "My subordinates believe that the troops and exorcists on the left should be mobilized to give priority to ensuring the safety of the north side. Now the pressure on the left is extremely low, and there are a large number of troops and exorcists.
People have nothing to do, so use them to temporarily resist!"
The leader of the right main hall, Li Yuanming, is a lean man, wearing a brown master's uniform. He stroked his non-existent beard, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked scheming: "It's too small, the layout is too small, if it were a few months ago
, although your plan is simple, it is still practical, but now, it is difficult."
Seeing the reporter's puzzled expression, Li Yuanming sighed, and then said: "This matter shouldn't be mentioned here, but I would have known better and made preparations earlier."
Li Yuanwu immediately glared over, his words carrying strong pressure: "Yuan Ming, you can't talk about this!"
Li Yuanzong waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter."
Li Yuanming nodded. He had expected the attitude of the family leader, while Li Yuanwu snorted with some reluctance.
"A leader has emerged among the evil." Li Yuanwu's voice was cold and extremely calm, as if he was talking about having braised pork for dinner tonight.
But his words made the dozens of people sitting below tighten their hearts and inexplicable fear rise.
Although they were panicking, the rules of the Li family forced them to remain silent. Everyone was sweating on their foreheads and their faces were extremely ugly, but they could only remain motionless.
The reporter on the left sat back absentmindedly. He already understood what the hall leader meant and the seriousness of the problem.
In the past, the evil spirits had almost no thinking. They only acted according to instinct, which meant that they would not take detours. Even if there were obstacles and traps in front of them, they would run into them and fight to the death.'
Humans have adopted more methods to deal with these evil powers with little wisdom.
The leaders of Heyun City only need to deploy enough defensive areas in their direction to greatly alleviate or even completely stop their spread.
But once a leader appears in the evil world, simple methods such as detours and finding weak points will be extremely effective. What's more, Heyun's combat power is already tight now, and the weakness in the north has probably been eliminated by the evil leader.
Discovered, otherwise Xie Yi would not be able to slow down the offensive in other areas and focus on the north.
Li Yuanming tapped the seat to bring everyone back to their senses. He said, "This is related to the next topic." He looked at the woman on the left, "Yuan Yun, it seems that this child Wanying did not take the initiative to explain.
That means something."
Li Yuanwu also interjected with great helplessness: "I originally hoped that this child would take the initiative to come and explain, but it seems that her feelings for the family are not deep enough."
"How can Yuan Yun explain the repeated rebellions of women in the family?" Li Yuanke, the leader of the Xiezheng Hall, also spoke in a suppressed voice and questioned the leader of the Civil Affairs Hall.
Li Yuanyun, the leader of the Civil Affairs Hall, was the only woman among the five. Faced with the three simultaneous attacks, she raised her eyebrows slightly, then played with her nails with an indifferent expression, without any intention of answering.
Li Yuanming frowned dissatisfied: "You should know that the survival of the family is at stake at this time, and you cannot be allowed to muddle through."
Even Li Yuanzong, who had been silent all this time, shook his head and said, "Yun'er, this is unacceptable."
Hearing Li Yuanzong speak, Li Yuanyun rarely stopped moving her hands. Her voice was a little hoarse: "The family's treatment of the younger women is obvious to all. Why are they rebellious? Do you still need me to explain to my eldest brother?"
Li Yuanzong then shook his head: "You know what I'm asking."
"Haha, the eldest brother knows the family's situation very well, he just doesn't want to change it. Naturally, he doesn't want to listen to the little sister nagging about this.
You want to ask about Wanying, right? Yes, an ordinary daughter-in-law, even if you include a few guards, should be extremely weak, but such a weakest team can actually come back alive from behind the defensive zone.
And there is no reduction in personnel at all. Either the immortal has been found, or someone has taken action, but brother, if I really help, wouldn't you know?"
She exhaled softly: "Besides, I also want to live."
Li Yuanzong smiled softly: "It seems that my little sister has no intention of abandoning the family and living alone. Okay, you can step back."
The dozens of people sitting below had no time to think and immediately left. In less than two sips of tea, the toilet was already empty.
"The four strong teams that went to other areas to explore, their teams were equipped with several exorcists and hundreds of soldiers with strong blood, but all of them were wiped out, but they were safe and sound, and came back in a swaggering manner, not wanting to arouse suspicion.
It's difficult." Li Yuanming glanced sideways at Li Yuanyun, and then said, "If it weren't for your second brother, I would have spent a lot of money on everything, and I'm afraid Wanying's mansion would be filled with people from all walks of life."
"But Heyun City is not a family secret, and the secret itself cannot be hidden for a long time. Among the people who bribed, there are four to five people who are extremely greedy. They must want to double or even triple the kickback. Every day at the latest,
As early as tonight, they will inform the Zhang family and the Su family, and the matter will no longer be hidden."
Li Yuanyun opened her mouth and asked with some confusion: "What about the second brother?"
"You want to ask me why I'm still sitting here, or even have the time to question you, an outsider?" Looking at Yuan Yun nodding, Li Yuanming still stroked his non-existent beard, "Since Wanying returned unscathed, if you hadn't
Help her, there is only one possibility."
Li Yuanyun's heart moved.
Li Yuanming smiled softly and said something that stunned the three of them: "There is a new person in the team that followed Wanying back."
Li Yuanwu couldn't believe it, so he could only ask subconsciously: "But Wanying took four people with her when she left, and she still took four people with her when she came back. How could there be one more person?"
Li Yuanming shook his head and expressed concern about his third brother's IQ: "Although the number of people is the same, one of the other guards has obviously been replaced. He is taller but has a lower sense of presence. If it weren't for the fact that the outer defense zone has my Li family's exorcists paying attention at all times.
I'm afraid I'll let him get through."
Li Yuanyao couldn't believe it. She breathed in gently: "Is he an immortal?"
Li Yuanzong, who had been closing his eyes to rest after retreating from the family, finally opened his eyes. His eyes were sharp, completely different from the laziness just now: "He is, and he must be!"
Li Yuanming kindly translated the eldest brother's words for the other younger brothers and sisters who were not very smart: "What the eldest brother means is: the family's time is running out. Since the leader Xie Yi appeared, the pressure on the front line is getting bigger and bigger.
It is just a matter of time before the defense zone is completely breached. Like us, the more we control power and wealth, the less we want to die easily. But now, a possible life-saving straw has appeared, and the family will do everything to please him and make a big gamble, so
, he will be an immortal, and he’d better be an immortal!”
Li Yuanzong returned to his lazy look: "Let my younger sister handle this matter. Remember, keep your attitude low. By the way, if this matter is handled well, the family's attitude towards women from all branches will also be the same."
Change accordingly, love freely, well... it's good."
The hall fell into silence. This chapter has been completed!
