Longevity in martial arts begins with the fusion of martial arts

Chapter 29 Aristocratic Family

Different from the other three families, the Wu family has been in power in Heishan City for more than a hundred years. It has endured and has always stood firm.

Hundreds of years of accumulation have made most of the children of the Wu family restrained and gentle.

Especially in front of lower-class people, this kind of gesture is enough.

Similarly, the Wu family's mansion in the inner city is also simple and exquisite, without any ostentation.

At this time, in the back garden of Wu Mansion.

A green-robed subordinate stood bowed in the courtyard.

"Master, here are the taxes for the whole city this year. Please take a look."

This is the control power of the aristocratic families. The city's chief bookkeeper, dianshi, and tax ambassador are basically members of the four major families.

Whenever there is an important matter, it is not reported to the city lord's palace, but to the respective clans first.

"You're talking in private and you still call me the head of the family?"

Wu Lingnan is the head of the Wu family. He is a middle-aged elegant man with a gentle and jade-like appearance.

"Fourth uncle." The green-robed official followed suit.

"Well, put it down." Wu Lingnan concentrated on trimming the grass and trees in the yard.

The green-robed official respectfully put the case file aside.

"Is there anything unusual in the Yamen?" Wu Lingnan didn't even raise his head.

"Fourth uncle, just like the previous days, today we captured another official of the Huang family."

A click.

A pair of scissors cut off a branch and fell to the ground.

At this moment, a figure trotted towards the two of them.

"father!"

The visitor was none other than the second young lady of the Wu family, coming from far away.

When the words came to his lips, he saw the people next to Wu Lingnan and swallowed them back: "Cousin."

The green-robed official didn't dare to say anything.

"Why are you still so frizzy?" Wu Lingnan scolded and said to the clerk, "Okay, I understand. You should go back and do your work first."

It wasn't until the green-robed official disappeared in the courtyard that Wu Lingnan looked at his daughter and asked, "What happened?"

Wu Ying then said in one breath: "A few shops made trouble, and I dealt with them."

"If the Black Wind Stronghold is not eliminated and the trade routes are blocked, these things will become more and more frequent."

"There were also some scoundrels who lied about being from Heifeng Village and intimidated the people, but I also captured them."

"Dad, I'm afraid it's not an option if this continues. It has already affected the daily operations of the family."

Since the last bandit counterattack was defeated, people in the city are now in panic, and there are rumors every now and then.

There are black wind thieves who are about to attack the city, and there are also people in the city who say that people in the city will be arrested and sent to the army.

Not just the outer city, but even the inner city has been affected.

It has seriously affected the stability of the city.

"Didn't I teach you to stay calm when things happen?" Wu Lingnan lowered his head again and concentrated on pruning the branches.

"Let's see again. Since the Jiang family wants to take the lead, let's see what they are capable of."

The Jiang family is also a member of the four inner city families.

Hearing Wu Lingnan's words, Wu Ying couldn't help but express doubts.

"What kind of support did they have to split up the Huang family so unscrupulously?"

"The key is that the Huang family is really that cowardly?"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Wu Lingnan didn't even raise his head: "Do you know why our family can last for hundreds of years?"

Without waiting for his daughter to answer, he asked and answered himself: "Neither be the weakest nor the strongest."

"No matter how big the Jiang family's appetite is, they can't eat the entire Black Mountain City. And if the Huang family is demolished, we can still get a share of the pie, so why not?"

"Since they are not afraid of the Huang family's counterattack and causing turmoil, they must be confident."

"As for what to rely on? We will know tomorrow."

Wu Lingnan was always so calm and unhurried.

In this way, he ascended to the position of head of the family without showing off. After taking the position, he also managed the family in an orderly manner.

Although Wu Ying prides herself on being capable and shrewd, she is deeply convinced of her father.    I immediately stopped entangled with this topic.

Then he asked, "How about the arrangement at Changfeng Martial Arts School? Please let me know."

Wu Lingnan smiled slightly: "Li Linchi has broken through to Ming Jin."

Li Linchi is the fourth senior brother of Changfeng Martial Arts School.

He was extremely talented, but after breaking through the three changes of Qi and blood, he was unable to break through for a while, and finally married into the Wu family.

Wu Ying suddenly realized: "You want him to take charge of Changfeng Martial Arts School?"

Wu Lingnan nodded.

"After Liu Feng's breakthrough in the past three years, he has always wanted to get rid of our control. I have lost my patience. Now it is time to completely control them."

This Li Linchi himself is a true disciple of Changfeng Martial Arts School.

Although the contact has gradually decreased, his identity has not been lost. Now that he has broken through Ming Jin and takes charge of Changfeng Martial Arts School, it is natural and justified.

Wu Ying thought about it and had to admit that it was a good move.

The two talked for a long time before Wu Lingnan finished pruning the grass and trees in the courtyard.

"Okay, you go down and rest first. I'll have to communicate with the Meng family later."

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Jiang Mansion at this time.

The contemporary head of the family, Jiang Mingji, is sitting in the middle of the lobby.

Look at the person in front of you calmly.

"Master Jiang! If you give the order, I will lead my brothers in the gang to follow you out of the city to suppress the bandits."

"Heaven and earth are loyal, as can be seen from the sun and the moon!"

"Who would have thought that this gangster would take advantage of my absence to attack and kill the elders of my gang!"

"One elder, three incense masters! Our Tiger Gang is really struggling. The Jiang family leader knows this!"

The person kneeling on the ground crying was naturally the leader of the Tiger Gang, Ying Hu.

This man returned to Black Mountain City with the defeated army. As soon as he arrived at the gang, he was shocked to hear the bad news and was so angry that he beat his chest!

"Master! It must be the Tsing Yi Gang who didn't abide by the rules and borrowed people from the Huang family behind to commit murder!"

"You must make the decision for me!"

Jiang Mingji watched him finish his performance, and then he softly let out a hum from his nose: "The leader of the gang should ask you to get up first."

Not only did Ying Hu not get up, he even took two steps forward: "Master, they didn't follow the rules. They didn't kill the senior members of our gang, but slapped you in the face!"

"Please join a few of my good men, and I will kill them tonight! So that I can teach them the truth!"

Jiang Mingji frowned and said in a thicker voice, "Ying Gang Leader."

Ying Hu saw that he was a little impatient, so he stopped crying.

Only then did Jiang Mingji speak to comfort him: "Master Ying, after the public discussion tomorrow, I will definitely give you an explanation."

When Ying Hu wanted to speak, Jiang Mingji waved his hand.

"Alright, Gang Leader Ying, as Jiang said, I can help you, the Tiger Gang, to become the number one gang in the outer city."

Ying Hu was overjoyed.

He quickly bowed down again, completely lacking the dignity of a warrior.

"Thank you very much, Master Jiang. Ying will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

"Okay, okay, let's go down." Jiang Mingji picked up the teacup and chased away the guests.

After watching Ying Hu leave respectfully, he shook his head.

This Ying Hu is short-sighted and always sticks to that one-third of an acre.

It's okay to do small things, but it's useful to be embarrassed.

……

Things in the inner city are still too far away.

It will not affect Lu Yuan for the time being.

At this time, Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, concentrating on practicing the "Visualization of Xuanjun Divine Will" that was only included in the system in the morning.
