Chapter 523: Uninvited
The days passed like this, and after about half a month, Zou Dui got the news that the new medicine hall was finally renovated, and the Sanwei Medicine Hall could be relocated to the new medicine hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After learning the news, Zou Dui was naturally overjoyed, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, because after the relocation of the Sanwei Medicine Hall, it would mean the beginning of the first "confrontation" against the Shao family!
......
Crackle!
The red firecrackers exploded one by one, confetti flew everywhere, and although the new shop still hung the old signboard of Sanwei Yakudo, the others were brand new. And since the Sanwei Medicine Hall is under the Guan family's industry, Guan Yunxing and other high-level officials of the Guan family naturally appeared as the owner, standing in the door of the medicine hall, and warmly welcomed the guests who came to congratulate.
On this day, it was not the reopening of the Sanwei Medicine Hall, but the pre-opening wine banquet held in accordance with the rules, and the venue of the wine banquet was directly set in the Sanwei Medicine Hall. Zou Dui is also one of the people invited, but he doesn't want to stand in the open, the family is in front of him, and it will be more convenient for him to make trips and black hands in the back, and he will not be regarded as the primary target.
So, although Zou Dui participated in the banquet, he was no different from Guan Xiong and several other Guan family children, eating and drinking everywhere, very relaxed. In contrast, Guan Yunxing and other high-level officials of the Guan family had to be busy, smiling at any time, greeting the guests who visited one by one.
Zou Dui quietly observed in the shadows, and found that the families and forces that were a little powerful in the basic Twin Peaks City had come. The Guan family is worthy of being one of the two major families in Twin Peaks City, any force and family is trying to curry favor, and the gifts they bring are worth a lot of money, but I don't know if it is because they are afraid of the Shao family, these families or forces are too polite in their words and deeds, and they faintly keep a distance from the Guan family.
"Twin Peaks City Lord Tong Ying has arrived!"
During the roll call, Zou Dui looked up and saw a heroic woman striding into the medicine hall, and Guan Yunxing immediately greeted him with a smile.
Among the big cadres, male power is still extremely heavy, such as the Guan family, and the family rules still do not allow women to inherit the family business. Therefore, it is a minority for women to be in high positions in Daqian, and these women often have real strength and ability, and they are veritable strong women.
Zou Dui didn't expect that the city lord of this Shuangfeng City turned out to be a woman, and he was slightly surprised for a while, and couldn't help but pay more attention to Tong Ying.
This Tong Ying is about thirty years old, but Zou Dui knows that women have always paid great attention to maintenance, and they are often much older than the age they actually see, and Zou Dui estimates that her real age should be around forty years old.
Tong Ying's square face is fine-eyed, her appearance is not outstanding, but she has a kind of momentum that is often found by superiors, and she has a strong aura of Yuan Li on her body, and she is actually a martial artist of the "Chongmai Realm". And she was followed by two female bodyguards, and Xiu Wei was even above her.
"Hahaha...... I am fortunate to invite the Tong City Lord to come to the banquet, and I am fortunate to have three lives in the Guan family!"
Guan Yunxing laughed and politely greeted Tong Ying.
Tong Ying also saluted with a sophisticated salute: "Elder Guan is polite, the little girl is already flattered and honored to be invited by the Guan family!"
After Guan Yunxing said a few more polite words, he asked Tong Ying to entertain him well, and he went to greet the other guests.
It seems that Guan Yunxing doesn't pay much attention to Tong Ying, and only regards Tong Ying slightly higher than other families and forces. Zou Dui was not surprised by this, after all, the families in the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Great Qian, basically no different from the local government in the previous life, had a high degree of autonomy, except for having to pay a certain amount of taxes and fees to the imperial family every year, they were basically the same as the emperor of the soil in other aspects.
Taking Twin Peaks City as an example, the Shao family and the Guan family in Twin Peaks City occupy most of the wealth and resources of Twin Peaks, and most of the markets and areas in Twin Peaks City belong to the Shao family and the Guan family, and the related income generated is also pocketed by the two families. Not to mention that in other industries, the Shao family and the Guan family are almost at the seams, and they basically account for the majority.
At the local level, the only power that the imperial family has is about the power to garrison troops and maintain law and order, as well as the power to directly exercise force under certain circumstances. However, even the power to exercise force may not be easy to use at the local level, because the local big families are often powerful and have their own strong warrior corps.
For example, the Shao family in Twin Peaks City has as many as 1,000 warriors under his command, and its actual combat power even exceeds all the forces possessed by Tong Ying, the city lord of Twin Peaks. Not to mention that a big family like the Shao family is actually just a second-rate family in the big cadres. The strength possessed by those real great cadres is by no means something that ordinary people can imagine.
The banquet went smoothly, and after half an hour, most of the invited guests came, and the servants of the Guan family brought them to the designated banquet to take their seats. Guan Yunxing checked the list of guests, and saw that everyone who should have come came, and those who didn't come must not be able to come for various reasons, so he was ready to order the banquet to start.
At this moment, the roll call person outside the door suddenly hurriedly and loudly said: "The great elder of the Shao family, Shao Lun, has arrived ......"
As soon as they heard this roll call, there was an instant silence in the medicine hall, and countless guests looked at the door in surprise and confusion, it was very strange that the Shao family and the Guan family had always been opposites, and the Shao family actually came to participate in the banquet of the Guan family, which is really a strange thing!
The people of the Guan family, especially Guan Yunxing, were pale and angry, he had never invited the Shao family, and this Shao Lun was not invited at all. And Guan Yunxing knows Shao Lun's character very well, but he is afraid that this Shao Lun is not here to attend the banquet, but to make trouble at all.
"Hahaha...... Congratulations!"
Almost before the roll call fell, Shao Lun strode into the medicine hall, still in a thin body, his eyes were like an eagle, and he congratulated Guan Yunxing all the way.
Behind Shao Lun, Shao Yiming and other people of the Shao family followed, in addition to Shao Yiming, several of them were also high-level elders of the Shao family. But Zou Dui's gaze was only cold, and he locked on Shao Yiming.
Obviously, Shao Yiming's ears have not been connected or grown up until now, so Shao Yiming specially wore a special big hat to cover his ears. Shao Yiming's appearance was somewhat funny, but Zou Dui didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and there was only an extremely cold killing intent in his eyes.
The hatred of Ziyu's death is still so strong that it can't be dissolved, and it is still fermenting and expanding as time goes by, but Zou Dui has already become rational with enough time, and he will not be as desperate as he was that day.
Shao Yiming must die, but Zou Dui doesn't want him to die too easily, Zou Dui plans to destroy the Shao family first, and finally it is Shao Yiming's turn to live as well as die, that is the best way to worship Ziyu's spirit in the sky!
