Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

"Young Master, Qiankun and his second wife have an irreconcilable relationship. Even if they make a choice between the Meng family and their second wife, they will definitely side with the young master.

Why don't you tell Qiankun about this? In this case, it would be safer to have him by your side to protect you. "

Lu Zhong was thoughtful and naturally understood the implication of Meng Zhao's words. He invited Liu Qiankun over in his name and explained that he would not interfere in the negotiations between Meng Zhao and Shi Jie, but only used it as a trump card to protect them.

In this way, it is inevitable that you will not rush to the scene as soon as possible, which is risky.

Moreover, Meng Zhao's decision fully demonstrated his wariness and distrust of Liu Qiankun.

Meng Zhao's fair and handsome face was calm, and his eyes as bright as starlight reflected a faint coldness.

"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Liu is different from you. You are the real rock of my second wife. You are unmovable. You have worked hard for my father and son for more than ten years. I can disbelieve everyone in this world, but I can't disbelieve you.

If I have to choose between my uncle and you, I also hope that you will always be by my side.

But Uncle Liu is different. He is now one of the four great stewards of our Meng Mansion. He has a high position and has been working for my uncle for so many years. I really can’t confirm what he is thinking.

It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger but its bones. Knowing a person's face but not his heart is the most difficult thing to consider. The Tu Xiu treasure has a lot to do with it, so I have to be more cautious. "

Meng Zhao's words made Lu Zhong feel warm in his heart and burst into tears. He felt that his hard work for the Meng family and his son had not been in vain in his life. He was moved and said,

"Young Master, you are serious. My body and bones cannot survive for a few years. What you can really rely on in the future is Qiankun.

Forget it, I'll have a detailed chat with him tonight to see what he thinks now. "

After Lu Zhong left, Meng Zhaocai carefully placed the four mahogany boxes on the table and their contents into the secret room of the house.

In the meantime, Meng Zhao met Lu Le and Han Pu again, and learned a lot of information about the Hu family's industry from them.

This was what Hu Yingming specifically revealed in order to beg for mercy and surrender to Meng Zhao. They were all the highest quality properties, and they were under his and his brother's names. They were a retreat specially prepared by Hu Yingming for his two sons.

It is also separate from their Hu Family Chamber of Commerce and is a personal property.

With the help of Hu Yingming, the second wife and the current cooperation of official forces with the Meng family, it is not difficult to win these properties.

According to Lu Le's calculations, the initial value of these industries is about 130,000 taels of silver, which is more than the high-quality industries in the counties under the county. It involves multiple chains such as catering, manufacturing, land, trade, shipping, etc., and is already the capital of many small businesses. Huge wealth that a family may not be able to acquire after generations of hard work.

If Meng Zhao's second house can take back all these properties, its foundation will be greatly strengthened, and a lot of the extra income can also be used to recruit troops and consolidate its own power.

Money is important to a martial artist and has extraordinary significance.

Warriors are also human beings. To live, they must eat, drink, and defecate. Eating horse fat consumes a lot of money. Not to mention, martial arts practice cannot be separated from resources. To have practice resources, money is indispensable.

If Meng Zhao didn't have the huge property and funds at his disposal, no matter how high his martial arts skills, his potential, or his charisma, he wouldn't be able to use these people to work for him. This is the naked reality.

Therefore, Meng Zhao now needs to not only increase his own force, improve security and external threats, but also strengthen the power of his subordinates. This is also a way to protect himself.

This is why he left Hu Yingming behind and why he never forgot Tu Xiu's treasure.

Especially Tu Xiu's treasure, if he gets it, it will be an opportunity for him to make a leap in life, and it will also be a way to hide the truth.

Even if his identity is exposed in the future and he is hunted by the Meng family, he will still have the capital to create his own business, rise and dominate.

Even when his wings are full and his martial arts potential is fully developed, it is not impossible to transform into the second Tu Xiu and dominate his side.

The night was dense, and a few twinkling stars stood out in the dark night. However, not long after, a few dark clouds passed by, completely covering up the starlight, as if a storm was coming.

In the warm spring-like room, the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day.

In the center of the huge round table, a red candle as thick as a child's arm burned with fire, and beside it was filled with delicacies.

The sixty-four dishes are luxurious and exquisite, with rich aroma, which will make people have a strong appetite as soon as they smell it.

However, facing such a luxurious meal, Shi Jie, who was sitting at the round table, did not even move his chopsticks. His face wearing a human skin mask had an indescribable expression, including eagerness, indifference, and doubt.

"Mr. Meng, I'm already here. Just talk nonsense. If you say you have clues to the key, please tell me quickly."

He really didn't expect that the Meng family was currently fighting with the Hu family. He thought that Meng Zhao would not focus on Tu Xiu's treasure for at least a short time. However, the result was far beyond his expectation. Meng Zhao actually gave He has great news.

Meng Zhao now changed into loose white clothes, and his whole body was as gentle as jade. He poured Shi Jie a glass of wine in a very decent manner, then sat back in his seat, raised his glass and said,

"Yes, so for this clue, Mr. Shi doesn't want to have a drink with me?"

Shi Jie was extremely angry. Business was more important and he drank a few cents of wine. However, now he had to rely on Meng Zhao's men to investigate the whereabouts of the third key. Asking for help was inevitably a disadvantage.

He didn't have an attack, and he didn't dare to have one. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, clinked glasses with Meng Zhao in the air, drank it all in one gulp, wiped the wine stains from his lips with his hand, and said

"Okay, I've drunk too much wine. Don't be so pretentious and tell me quickly."

However, Meng Zhao still took his time and poured himself another glass of wine, shook his head and said,

"Mr. Shi, you are too impatient. In fact, I am 90% sure that I have got the key. But the problem now is that even if I get it, I don't know where to look for Tu Xiu's treasure. How to use this key? I don't know Shi Sir, can you help me solve my problems?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became stagnant, and Shi Jie's expression tightened instantly. A pair of narrow and sinister eyes looked at Meng Zhao calmly. He waited for ten breaths before saying,

"What, Mr. Meng, are you afraid that after I get the key, I will kick you away and seize Tu Xiu's treasure alone? You may think that I am too greedy."

Meng Zhao shook his head,

"No, Mr. Shi also needs to forgive me. In order to find the whereabouts of the descendants of Tu Xiu's wife and brother, I can say that I used all the people under Erfang's command and owed a lot of favors, so I got some clues.

Now that I have hope, I naturally want to learn more about this matter, and diving into it in such a confused way makes me really uneasy. "

Now that he had the thing, Meng Zhao was naturally ready to make a move.

Tu Xiu's treasure, who could not be tempted by what might be hidden inside?
