Part VIII Chapter 91 Intentional support, special treatment
This result was probably deliberate by both parties; Fourth Master Hua breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously when he saw it.
It seems...these two people have already connected. Next, let's see how we can arrange an opportunity to cure the city lord's illness. As long as he succeeds, his goal will be very promising...
At this time, people from the Jin family and the Wu family also came one after another. To the visitors from the two families, the city lord just greeted them coldly, and then greeted everyone into the table.
"Let's talk while eating."
Talking while eating?
The heads of both families felt like they were in a dream.
Entering the living room, I was even more surprised.
There was only one small table inside, and on the small table were placed a few small plates. The small plates were filled with small vegetables.
There seems to be no oil flowers at all.
As for the followers, they had already been kicked out by the people from the city lord's palace: "Are you still worried about being assassinated here? Let's all go back, let's all go back..."
In the past, City Master Wen was a very face-conscious person, and his followers, bodyguards, and guards all had corresponding banquets to entertain him. What happened today? The two family heads were secretly surprised.
Could it be that some unexpected event happened that we don't know about?
"A small family banquet is really disrespectful." City Lord Wen Donglai toasted enthusiastically.
Look at this table of green vegetables, there’s not even a bit of meat or fishy flavor at all. Damn it, I believe even the humblest servant in my family can eat better than this... Could it be that this meal is actually a memory of bitterness and sweetness...
"Well, in order to express my closeness to you all, these are some side dishes prepared by my wife." City Lord Wen smiled heartily: "Everyone, when you come here, you are no longer an outsider. Except for me, you are not an outsider.
The only one who can taste the craftsmanship of a bitch...please, please...don't be polite."
As expected of the city lord, with one sentence, he not only covered up his embarrassment, but also instantly pulled everyone into the position of 'relatives and friends'.
The head of the Jin family is a middle-aged man with a square face and handsome features. At first glance, he looks upright and has a clear demeanor. However, the occasional flash of cold edge in his eyes reveals that he is by no means as kind and righteous as he appears.
The head of the Wu family has a goatee, and is as thin and dry as a little old man. But he naturally has the commanding air of a superior.
Chu Yang only glanced at them, got a general impression of the two family heads, and then lowered his head.
Immediately, the Lord City Lord enthusiastically introduced everyone in person. Gradually, the conversation became lively. Especially the Fourth Master Hua, given his status, received extra courtesy from the heads of the two families.
As a new rising star, Chu Yang was somewhat wary of both families. His behavior was moderate and polite. He was cautious but not affectionate enough.
"I invite you all to come here this time because of some recent events in Zixia City..." After three rounds of wine, the Lord of the City revealed the purpose of convening this meeting.
Of course, the original content of the meeting was not what it is now.
However, an unexpected incident left the city lord impoverished, and he really had nothing to lose. So the original plan was forced to be cancelled. As for the most important thing right now, naturally it is to make money...
"The first thing is the destruction of the Li family." The Lord of the City looked at Chu Yang and said, "After the destruction of the Li family, such a large house cannot be left empty... I wonder who among you is interested in taking over?"
He said 'Who is interested'. But his eyes were only looking at Chu Yang.
The heads of the Jin family and the Wu family were very sensible and did not answer the conversation.
Both families know that if they take over, not only the other family will not be happy to see it, but the city lord will also not agree. Now the city lord has made it clear that he wants to support the Chu miracle doctor to take over, so that the power of the Zixia City family will not be unbalanced.
Chu Yang coughed and said: "Lord City Lord, I do have this plan, but now in a hurry, I can't get so many... ahem, Zixia coins."
Wen Donglai smiled and said, "But I wonder how much Brother Chu can get together?"
"May I ask what the official purchase and sale price for that house was?" Chu Yang was not stupid and simply asked the price on the spot.
"Four hundred thousand, Zixia coins!" The Lord City Lord held out four fingers.
This is a lion's mouth open for publicity! Or it is asking for a high price.
The head of the Jin family and the head of the Wu family couldn't help but curled their lips.
The government had emptied everything out of the Li family, leaving only an empty house. They still wanted to sell it for a sky-high price of 400,000 Zixia coins? That was Shuiyun coins worth 40 trillion yuan!
That shabby house, no matter how overestimated it is, will never be sold for 100,000 Zixia coins!
But Chu Yang was clearly thinking, and seemed to be moved...
The heads of the two families couldn't help but rejoice in their misfortune: Is this the enemy going to take the bait?
Sure enough, Chu Yang spoke.
"The price of 400,000 yuan is probably a bit expensive... However, if we can sell it together with the surrounding land... and the Li family's original business and trading shop... then this number is not that outrageous...
..." Chu Yang pondered.
Even if you add those, it's not worth 100,000 Zixia coins! Let alone 400,000! This Divine Doctor Chu seems to be a fool! And he is also very ambitious and wants to compete with us!
You have nothing, not even a subordinate. Even if you have it in name, what's the use? Who will manage it for you?
The heads of the two families cursed and complained in their hearts, but on the surface they naturally said nothing.
There wasn't even a hint of expression.
"Well, if Brother Chu is interested, it might as well be decided like this..." City Master Wen was very happy. Things worth only tens of thousands of Zixia coins were sold for 400,000 at once, which solved an urgent need, and he was naturally very happy.
"But I don't have that much now... The most I can take out at the moment is... one hundred thousand Zixia coins." Chu Yang looked troubled: "I'm afraid it will take some time to turn over the rest. Is it possible to write down the IOU first?"
Well, everyone was shocked.
Immediately, he understood what Chu Yang meant: This guy clearly wanted to pay for all the business outside the Li family with 100,000 Zixia coins. I'm afraid he planned to default on the remaining 300,000 IOUs.
The heads of the two families were gloating: You idiot, you still don’t know what the city lord’s temper is, right? IOU? As long as you pay the IOU, you can only take out more, and it is absolutely impossible to successfully repudiate the debt!
We have been dealing with this city lord for many years...
"No problem!" City Master Wen said happily: "I can trust you!"
I thought to myself, I can trust you, but my subordinates can’t trust you. I’ll just go there and ask for it once a week... I can ask for as much as I want, and if I go on for years, I can get back three million, not to mention three hundred thousand.
"So thank you City Lord for your trust..." Chu Yang thanked him happily, and a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
I finally have a place to stay.
And it’s still a big enough place to stay!
And it’s also adjacent to the ultimate goal, Zixia Palace!
Immediately, the Lord of the City made some further divisions of the current forces, uttered a few warnings in a stern voice, and then mentioned the projects currently being prepared by the City Lord's Mansion and other polite words...
Successfully knocked out thousands of Zixia coins from the Jin family and the Wu family.
After the goal was achieved, City Master Wen issued an order to expel the guests without any courtesy: "Hey, I suddenly feel a little tired. Brother Chu, please stay a moment. I have something to tell you."
Yes, only let Dr. Chu stay for a while, and everyone else should get out of here.
That's what it means.
Fourth Master Hua achieved his set goal and would discuss the rest later. He simply stood up to say goodbye and walked away.
The two heads of the Jin family and the Wu family also walked out as if they were kicked out. No one saw them off...
"Brother Jin, what's going on?"
"Let's see."
"This Chu Yang... I'm afraid his ambition is not small."
"Haha... It's all in vain if you have the intention but no one else."
"That's that!"
The two laughed and parted ways.
"Brother Chu, I heard that you are very good at curing people's illnesses?" City Master Wen hurriedly pulled Chu Yang into the study room, and this was the first thing he said.
As a city lord, it is a bit despicable to have such a disregard for demeanor and politeness. However, as a man, the city lord's behavior is quite understandable.
"Um..." Chu Yang touched his nose and said, "I think Chu has some experience in this matter."
City Lord Wen laughed loudly and patted Chu Yang on the shoulder: "The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!"
The fact that they had such an intimate relationship after their first meeting could only show how excited the city lord was at this moment, his heart was surging and he couldn't control himself.
Chu Yang blinked and then laughed.
It seemed that he didn't even understand the situation in front of him. It was clearly his self-effacing words, but how did he elicit the other party's words of "young people are to be feared".
"Little brother, I heard that you just ascended from below?" City Lord Wen's attitude became even more affectionate. Even though the three families of Li, Jin, and Wu were unable to confirm Chu Yang's origin, the City Lord was very concerned about Chu Yang's origin.
It is very clear that in Jiuchong Tianqi, no matter how high-level the identity is, there is still only one identity certificate. Chu Yang obtained the identity certificate in Zixia City, so his origin is naturally not a secret to City Master Wen.
"Yes, when I first came to the local area, I made a lot of jokes. It's hard to look back on the past."
"But I don't know which plane my little brother comes from?" City Master Wen asked with a smile: "Maybe I have some acquaintances..."
"Well, I ascended from the Nine Heavens Continent." Chu Yang said simply, there is nothing worth hiding.
"It's actually the Nine Heavens Continent?" City Lord Wen's expression suddenly changed.
"Yes, has the city lord heard of it?!"
City Lord Wen's face became obviously serious: "But the Jiuchongtian Continent, the original home of Chenfeng and Liuyun?"
Chu Yang was startled, he didn't expect these two legendary figures to be so famous in Jiuchong Tianque: "Exactly, does the city lord know these two seniors?"
"I wonder if my little brother knows a senior named Wuji Juedao Liu Yongxiang. I heard that he was also born in the Nine Heavens Continent?" City Master Wen took a deep breath. (To be continued...)
