Chapter 2181: Matters of the Zeng Family
When Lin Haoming came back from the City Lord's Mansion, it was already ten minutes in the middle of the night.
Although the time was not early, Shu Siyue and Jia Qiniang did not rest, and after Yu'er saw Lin Haoming come back, she put the prepared supper on the table.
Although Lin Haoming had already eaten the reception banquet, the other people who followed him just waited, and now they simply beckoned everyone to eat something together.
On the way, because he came back with several high-ranking officials of the thief city, he didn't have the opportunity to discuss with others, and now after sitting down, Yao Dong was not busy eating, and asked directly: "My lord, we were stopped outside today, I don't know what this female city lord means?"
"It's not a good thing, it's a reminder, there is one thing that makes me very strange, the entire high-level of the thief city, from the city lord to the sixth house owner, is actually harmonious, as if they are like a family, such a situation is something I never expected before. Lin Haoming said.
"What? and harmony, family?" Hearing this, even Shu Siyue was a little surprised.
"Yes, Siyue, do you think there will be such a situation?" Lin Haoming asked in disbelief.
"When such a situation occurs, the only possibility is that there is a wise leader, and others work together under his leadership, just like when you were the county commander, but that Yan Yuyan has only been here for hundreds of years, and it has always been based on safety, how can this be?" Shu Siyue shook her head and said.
"Therefore, this situation makes me feel even more scared, I am afraid that I may not be able to find out where the problem is in a short time, a city with a favorable time and place, but after being ranked in the entire Tianxian Mansion, the water in it is very deep!" Lin Haoming said seriously.
"Master, since the water is so deep and we are outsiders, we still need to win steadily, even if we have a false relationship with them for a while. Jia Qiniang also said solemnly.
"Indeed, the situation here is completely different from Kun County, we don't have any solid backing, we must pay attention to things when we do things, otherwise it is easy to fall into complete passivity!" Yao Dong frowned when he heard this.
"Let me tell you first, these people gave me the first impression, in the next few days, Mr. Yao, please have to explore around the city more, for the time being, I'm afraid we really want to be a turtle with a shrunken head!" Lin Haoming said helplessly.
"Don't worry, my lord, I know what to expect!" Yao Dong nodded.
"I have always been relieved that you will do things, and when the time is ripe, I will arrange a position for you! The same is true for the two of you!" Lin Haoming said and turned to Liu Kai and Zhuang Liang.
"My lord, in fact, I can continue to be an adult, after all, I am not familiar with life here, and I need a credible person by my side!" Zhuang Liang said.
"Hey!" Lin Haoming immediately waved his hand and said, "No, it's because this place is very new to us, so I need a local." ”
"But where can I find someone who is credible and usable for a while?" Zhuang Liang said helplessly.
"My lord, there may not be no credible and usable people!" Yao Dong said suddenly.
"Mr. Yao, do you have any ideas?" Lin Haoming asked with some surprise.
"I did have some thoughts about this matter early on, but I didn't know a lot of things, so I didn't dare to say it, but the situation that the adults said today is actually much more difficult than expected, so I can't help but say it!" Yao Dong was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Yao is resourceful, has he already found someone?" Liu Kai said with some surprise.
Yao Dong smiled slightly and said, "This person has actually been with us for a long time!"
"Mr. Yao mean that Zeng girl?" Lin Haoming was a little surprised.
"Well, since this woman is from the Zeng family, it obviously meets the requirements of the locals, and the Zeng family is extremely important to the thief city, I have also inquired about some things related to the Zeng family these days, the Zeng family is the first family here, and the overall reputation is not bad, but there seem to be some small problems within the family!" Yao Dong said.
"Oh, what does Mr. Yao know?" asked Lin Haoming.
Yao Dong picked up the three cups respectively, put them in front of him and said, "The Zeng family now has three leading figures, namely the patriarch Zeng Yingli, Zeng Xiang, the ancestor of the Zeng family, and Zeng Huaili, the current head of the workshop, among which the old patriarch Zeng Xiang was the one of the Zeng family's indisputable people many years ago, and the Zeng family was once one of the best families in the entire Tianxian Mansion under its leadership, and then because he was seriously injured in the last Ten Thousand Demons War, he could not continue to receive the Zeng family, so after the end of the Ten Thousand Demons War, he passed the position of the head of the family to his nephew Zeng Yingli, and now it is almost 20,000 years. ”
"Does Zeng Yingli have no children?" asked Lin Haoming.
"Originally, I had a son, but in the last Great War of Ten Thousand Demons, it fell, and because of this, I bought the source of the internal contradictions of the Zeng family. Yao Dong said.
"In this way, the Zeng family is still a big family that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, but every time the Ten Thousand Demons War is the key to the rise and fall of many big families. Lin Haoming couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
Yao Dong also nodded in agreement: "My lord is right, the Zeng family has been standing in the thief city for many years, and this ancestor of the Zeng family was the general judge of the Tianxian Mansion back then, and now although he has not shown up for many years, he is still the real pillar of the Zeng family, of course, the Zeng family can only dominate the thief city now." ”
"Then how did the Zeng family conflict come about?" Lin Haoming asked.
At this time, Yao Dong took away a cup, picked up another cup and said: " Zeng Yingli is the son of Zeng Xiang's second brother, Zeng Xiang two brothers, both of whom died in the Great War of Ten Thousand Demons, so in accordance with the order of the eldest and youngest, the position of the head of the family was passed to Zeng Yingli, but Zeng Xiang's third brother has as many as five or six heirs, as Zeng Xiang has been in retreat for a long time, Zeng Yingli has been more and more obstructed by several cousins and sisters, and those people are more ambitious and want more power, and later some people even directly proposed to remove Zeng Yingli from the position of head of the family, but this Zeng Yingli is really ruthless, under the persecution of the other party, he actually united with a group of Zeng family side children, and took down all the people who disobeyed him in one fell swoop, and all abolished the cultivation, imprisoned, and left to fend for themselves. ”
"This person is also a hero, and Zeng Xiang didn't choose the wrong person!" Liu Kaidao.
"But the direct family infighting, although Zeng Yingli won, but after all, the muscles and bones were broken, and the side branches gradually began to raise their heads, in the following days, although Zeng Yingli has continued to be the head of the family, but the side branches also put forward some requirements, such as the formation of a clan elder association, in recent thousands of years, the head of the thief city workshop, including the current Zeng Huaili, are all representatives of the clan elder association, and he is the representative of the side branches, it can be said that the current Zeng family is actually a cut watermelon!" Yao Dong picked up the two cups and posed as if a watermelon had been split in half.
