Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Just when Moriarty and his entourage entered the magic house, China, which is also a major magical country in Asia, was also undergoing changes quietly.

Longhu Mountain, Zhangjia.

One of several powerful wizard families in the Chinese magic world.

The Zhang family, which originated from "Zhang Daoling" two thousand years ago, has continued to this day with countless descendants, many of whom have produced some amazingly talented wizards.

Together with their long family history, they have supported the Zhang family, making the family respected by Chinese wizards and enjoying considerable say in the entire Chinese magical world.

However, today is a day that none of the Zhang family will forget.

The old head of the Zhang family, Zhang Ye, a figure like the sea god of the Zhang family, rang the big bell on the top of Longhu Mountain at seven o'clock in the morning.

"Dang~dang~dang~"

"Dang~dang~dang~"

The six bells rang, and the Zhang family, who had already rushed back, were waiting at the foot of the mountain, one by one according to their seniority, and walked up the mountain.

"I really wish I had brought a magic camera. It's rare to see tens of thousands of people go up the mountain together."

A bald wizard with an unshaven beard spoke a Cockney accent and stared greedily at the wizard going up the mountain.

He is a short, fat wizard with a Caucasian complexion, two short bow legs, long and messy ginger hair, and a pair of swollen and bloodshot eyes that look around.

That thief-like look in his eyes made the two Chinese wizards who were guarding him, or rather monitoring him, very uncomfortable.

One of the short-haired wizards said softly: "Mr. Mundungus, please don't pay attention to Longhu Mountain. You can't steal it."

"That's right," another Chinese wizard also said: "We hope that Mr. Mundungus can temporarily change your habits so that we can have more time to rest.

You must know that Longhu Mountain is too big, and it is really exhausting for us to return the items you took away to their original owners."

Their fluent English was something that Mundungus did not dare to underestimate.

"Ah, ah, I understand, I understand."

Mundungus' face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was smiling broadly.

He knew what was wrong with him, but he didn't care. He even made stealing his profession.

He had seen this kind of scene too many times, and the Chinese wizard's approach was quite gentle.

So Mundungus took it further and made a distressed look: "Take a photo of this scene and buy it to those pure-blood families who are desperate for face. You will definitely get a good price."

"Pull it, hurry up."

The two Chinese wizards snorted disdainfully and looked at each other in unison.

Since Mundungus came to Longhu Mountain at the end of last year, they have deeply realized what it means to "take advantage of others", "take advantage of others", and "fish in troubled waters"...

The Chinese culture is indeed broad and profound, and the idioms are appropriate and natural.

They even wonder whether their ancestors created these idioms based on Mundungus.

Although the items that Mundungus took away were nothing more than bamboo slips, porcelain bottles... worthless trinkets.

But can we sort out that feeling?

Raise your head and be a wizard!

After all, you are also a representative sent by Dumbledore.

The two also often complained that Dumbledore in the European wizarding world was known as the first wizard of the modern era.

He actually sent a wizard like Mundungus to establish diplomatic relations with the Zhang family on behalf of the European magic world?

It's so disrespectful.

Who is disgusting!

There are many Zhang family members who have this attitude, and several mainstay wizards in the Zhang family also criticized Dumbledore for sending Mundungus to visit the Zhang family.

But all the voices were suppressed by Mr. Zhang Ye. He seemed to know that Mundungus did not come to China specifically to establish diplomatic relations with the Zhang family.

In fact, the Zhang family has always advocated opening up the country and contacting the magic circles in Asia and Europe, but the results have not been good.

However, as time entered the late 1990s, more and more Chinese wizards found that it was very necessary to get to know and contact wizards from various countries.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the reason that prompted the Chinese wizards to have such an idea turned out to be Muggles!

In 1990, the economy of the Muggle world began to take off, and the intuitive change brought about by economic development was the frequent trade exchanges between countries.

The Muggle world is ready for economic globalization.

The Chinese wizarding world and the Chinese Muggle world have always had close ties. They were the first group of wizards to feel the great changes and benefits brought about by the integration of China and the West.

The Zhang family is one of the representatives.

Dumbledore is very well-known in the wizarding world.

Just like the sun in the solar system, people can see the sun at a glance. The Zhang family easily sent a letter to Dumbledore.

The letter stated the intention to cooperate.

Dumbledore happened to be wondering about the relationship between Moriarty and Lockhart at that time.

He is determined to find out the experiences of Moriarty and Lockhart in Eastern Tibet.

then……

The Zhang family and Dumbledore hit it off immediately and initially reached a consensus.

Mundungus was sent to China ostensibly to visit the Zhang family, but the real purpose was to investigate Moriarty and Lockhart.

Dumbledore certainly knew that Mundungus' image and behavior would arouse the resentment of the Zhang family.

But he still used Mundungus and entrusted him with important tasks.

Dumbledore judged that the way Moriarty and Lockhart left China and Tibet and returned to England was not on the right track.

Since it is not a formal official channel, it involves a gray area.

Mundungus, who has been hanging around at the bottom of the magical world for many years, knows many liars and thieves in the magical world.

The most important thing is that Mundungus can get information that ordinary people can't.

Facts have proved that Dumbledore is really good at judging people.

Within a few days of arriving in China, Mundungus had already found out that there was a wizard nicknamed "Wild Dog" in Eastern Tibet, who controlled all transportation in and out of Eastern Tibet.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local snake in the Chinese magic world.

Mundungus is a good spy, but getting him to get rid of the wild dogs is harder than Voldemort growing a nose.

The importance of the Zhang family was revealed at this time. Dumbledore agreed to establish diplomatic relations with the Zhang family precisely so that Mundungus could get help from the Zhang family during the investigation.

So Dumbledore's calculations are very deep.

However, after killing all seven of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Dumbledore would never have imagined that Mr. Zhang Ye's choice to cooperate with Dumbledore also had a deeply hidden true purpose.

The bell rang today, which made Mundungus instinctively feel uneasy.

He had asked the two younger brothers around him before that if the bell of Longhu Mountain rings, something big will happen that will affect the entire family, and the Zhang family must all be present.

The "Zhang family" here refers to direct descendants, including all over the country and overseas Chinese.

Altogether there are less than 20,000 people.

And this number is still rising.

Mundungus was horrified to see it.

I thought in my heart that the Dark Lord had been gathering Death Eaters and controlling the Ministry of Magic for decades, and in the end he just wanted to be the village chief!

It can't even compare to another family.

When most of them went up the mountain, Mundungus was also invited up as a distinguished guest from Europe.

Mundungus saw a huge open-air square. The Zhang family were standing on the ground paved with white marble. Mr. Zhang Ye and several highly respected Zhang family members were standing on a high platform.

There seemed to be a large bed on a high platform. Mundungus couldn't tell clearly whether someone was lying on it or not.

Mr. Zhang Ye cleared his throat, and the whole place fell silent.

Mundungus glanced towards the high platform. Mr. Zhang had a boyish appearance and was over 1.8 meters tall. His hair and beard were all white, but he was dressed completely differently from Dumbledore.

Wearing a black robe, he has a slim figure, a serious face, and a pair of dark eyes that always hide solemnity.

"At the end of October 1987, my great-great-grandson Zhang Guozhong, the 86th generation of the Zhang family, encountered misfortune while patrolling in Eastern Tibet."

Mr. Zhang Ye spoke slowly, and more than a dozen Zhang family members burst into sobs. Mundungus guessed that they were Zhang Guozhong's family members.

Couldn’t that big bed be Zhang Guozhong’s body?

Mr. Zhang Ye told the whole story:

“Our Zhang family is descended from the ‘Heavenly Master’, and it has lasted for two thousand years!

The grandson of the junior high school was originally the next head of the family appointed by me. Five years ago, he took the initiative to go to Eastern Tibet for training and patrol the borders of our country!"

A flash of regret flashed in Mr. Zhang Ye's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the big bed, stretched out his right index finger and said: "Unfortunately, we encountered a Himalayan avalanche that has not happened in a century, and buried our grandson under the snowy mountains!"

Mundungus felt that the "Himalayan Avalanche" was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen or heard it.

"Thanks to the protection of our ancestors, our grandson has a chance to survive." Mr. Zhang Ye breathed out.

Mundungus also nodded, it would be better if he died.

However, Mr. Zhang Ye changed the topic: "But yesterday - my grandson from junior high school turned into a vegetative state!"

The crying underneath became even louder.

Mundungus asked what a vegetative state was when the two boys looked at him with hostility.

He was shocked that the future head of the Zhang family would be unconscious and unable to move, lying on the bed like a living dead!

Merlin is on top, no wonder Zhang Ye is angry.

Mundungus could feel the magic power of Mr. Zhang Ye surging, and the black robe moved automatically without wind.

Just listen to Zhang Ye say. "The head of my family has a high position. The next generation will inherit the position of the previous generation. If there is a will, the will will be followed. If not, the decision of the family meeting will be followed.

It is passed down from son to younger brother, not from younger brother to nephew.

It is passed down from nephew to uncle, and from uncle to family member.

People of the clan do not pass it on to outsiders.

Relatives and distances are clearly defined, the elders and younger ones are in order, and there is no disorder in direction.

When it comes to the generation of our grandchildren, we cannot lose our inheritance!"

"Can't throw it away!"

Zhang Guozhong's family roared with tears, and they clamored to find the murderer.

There has not been an avalanche in the Himalayas for a hundred years, but one happened in 1987, and their children encountered it?

They don't believe it, they think the avalanche is man-made!

"It's hard to say whether there is a murderer..." Zhang Ye's tone suddenly became gloomy, "But of course we have to investigate! When my Zhang family and reinforcements arrived at the scene, there was no one there, only endless snow, so we

Let’s start with the Himalayan avalanche!”

He took out a book from his robe. The cover showed a young man riding a broomstick, carrying a blond wizard flying in the sky, with snow waves pressing down behind him.

Zhang Ye shook the book at Mundungus and said meaningfully:

"Coincidentally, the best-selling European novel "Tibet with Slytherin" details a Himalayan avalanche!

Mr. Mundungus, do you think this is a coincidence?"

"brush--"

Tens of thousands of people turned their heads at the same time and looked towards Mundungus.

Mundungus had never seen such a scene before. His legs weakened and he fell down.

Moriarty and Lockhart, you have done me a disservice!
