"What? Fang Chen is back?" Liu Hongxuan's face changed drastically, and he stared at the person who reported the news.

The man's waist suddenly bent lower and he said a little panic: "Yes, the big manager, many people have seen it, and my subordinates have also seen it with their own eyes, so they came back to report immediately!"

"Well, I understand, you go down first." Liu Hongxuan quickly returned to normal and said lightly.

The man hurriedly retreated and waited until he walked away before he breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared that he was so scared to death just now.

After the person who reported the report left, Liu Hongxuan looked ugly again and cursed in his heart, "Damn it, the head of the family would "invit" Fang Chen to the Liu family as a guest and ask him to let him do it?" Could it be that what comes this time is a ghost?

As soon as Fang Chen left Fuyu, he sent someone to report to the head of the family. At that time, the head of the family sent a message to him to be relieved and said that he would leave people in the county town when he returned to ensure that people could not die and would not affect Fuyu's plan. He asked him to let go of his actions, no matter what method he used, he would win over some people as soon as possible to open the gap. Once he opened his mouth, it would be much easier to do.

The Liu family's abacus was well made, and Fang Chen really underestimated the shamelessness of the gentry. He originally planned to return through the county city, but the Wei family intervened in advance to make him awaken. He immediately detoured the mountains and forests, and the Liu family's abacus naturally failed.

Liu Hongxuan was walking back and forth in the yard uneasy. Fuyu with Fang Chen and Fuyu without Fang Chen were completely different. Now that the Yuyang Martial Arts Hall has jumped out, the two sides have completely broken their faces. With that kid's method, he could not predict how he would treat the Liu family.

Once they turned against each other, they directly cut off their cooperation and hid near Jiantiansi. Their families would also have a headache. Although they nominally controlled the overall situation of going out to sea, he had no doubt that Fang Chen could not mobilize his two families and one local.

No one can handle several ships? What should I do if the cargo transportation is not enough? How can I maintain the supply of the Jiang family? And so on, a lot of problems will immediately follow, causing the two companies to be in a mess and suffer huge losses.

After thinking for a long time, he didn't think of a solution. He had no choice but to go out to discuss with Zhong Boming.

...

Zhong Boming also waited for the news, but he was not as shocked and angry as Liu Hongxuan. Instead, his expression was a little complicated.

The Zhong family was divided into two factions on this matter. After the Tieshan branch refused, the cooperation faction had already gained the upper hand.

Because the loss of local branches means that there is a lack of a local collaborator with sufficient influence. The gentry in the county has a faction, and the gentry in the towns outside the county have too little influence. Only Chang, Lu Liangbao is barely suitable.

He also sent someone to secretly contact two castles, but the Chang family had clearly refused. The Lu family was ambiguous and would not express their opinions easily before the Fang family fell.

This made the Zhong family very passive, without a certain cooperative force. When the overall situation is decided, it will be a big step ahead of the Liu family, and even become completely dominated by the Liu family. The Zhong family can only act according to the Liu family's expression, which is a result that many people in the family are unwilling to see.

Therefore, I gradually became less concerned. Although I still gave Zhou Tian certain support according to the agreement, I was no longer as active as the Liu family and personally sent someone to help.

If Fang Chen hadn't been just a acquired realm, the family thought that he had little chance of winning in the end, and might have sold the Liu family and Zhou Tian.

From the heart, he also tends to cooperate. However, in the family, he is just a minor generation with little voice. There are many uncles and uncles within the five subs. Those elders are the ones who have the right to speak. Therefore, even if his cultivation is in a perfect state, he can only be a great manager in charge of one area. When he gets older, he will become an elder and become a family elder.

However, the situation has changed a little now. Fang Chen has come back early. Can the Liu family's plan be so smooth? Or may the Zhong family withdraw from it again, maybe...

"Report, the manager of the Liu family is here." While he was thinking, the servant suddenly came to report.

Zhong Boming showed a touch of mockery on his face. Before, Liu Hongxuan thought the overall situation was about to be settled, but his memory was as new as he was, but now he didn't know what his expression was like?

But he soon returned to normal, and smiled gently again, and said, "I understand, you go down first. Brother Liu is here to visit, and I should greet you in person."

...

Qingcang Mountain and the former site of Feisha Village have now been transformed into a construction site. From the inside to the outside, all of them have been flattened and rebuilt.

Zhou Tian looked at the busy venue with an unconcealed smile on his face. His wish for many years has finally come true. Starting a sect, honoring the ancestor of Taoism, and passing on what he has learned is the greatest wish of the world's casual cultivators.

Qingcang Mountain is 800 miles away, with a wide area and rich resources. Although it is not as good as the Lingshan Blessings of the great sect, it is also an excellent place for establishing sects. It is adjacent to the sea and has huge profits in sea trade, which has increased the value of this place by several levels.

Qingcang Mountain is a large area, hundreds of miles north and south, and to the west it extends to the border and connects to Millions of Mountains. Strictly speaking, Qingcang Mountain is also part of Millions of Mountains, just a stroke on the map, and Qingcang Mountain is also a local name.

And Fuyu is only a small part of Qingcang Mountain.

But warriors are not savages in the mountains, and they also have various exchanges of interests. The sect's resident must naturally be close to the place where people live, and the place where they extend is the most suitable.

The location was found by the Liu family in Tieshan. There were several suitable places, but he caught a glimpse of the former site of Feisha Village at a glance.

Not only is it a good location, but it is also the widest inside. The Wuzhi Peak behind it can add a bit of mystery to the sect, and it is definitely the best sect base.

"Master, Senior Brother Zhou sent someone to report to him, saying that Fang Chen was back." At this time, a disciple ran quickly to report the report.

Zhou Tian raised his eyes slightly and said lightly: "So what if I come back? How big can a mere acquired boy make?" He was always very disdainful of the actions of those two families.

When dealing with a mere acquired realm, hesitated and wasted his time in vain. If he was slaughtered directly and then went around the homes of those rural locals, he was still afraid that they would dare not surrender?

Including him, he has five innate ones. Even if the five families are dissatisfied, will they still dare to start a war?

Unfortunately, the two families did not agree with his approach, and the faction had to rely on them, and they were not willing to insist on it. After all, without the support of those two families, he could not withstand the suppression of the five families alone, and even the inheritance and continuation of the sect was a problem.

But he thought it was good, but he didn't understand the rules of the gentry's life. If he really killed Fang Chen, the five families might not have started a war with Zhong and Liu, but he would definitely kill him as soon as possible and divide Fuyu, Jieshi, Zhong and Liu, wouldn't they dare to turn against each other and start a war with the five families?

This is also the reason why the Zhong and Liu families kept Fang Chen and were determined to replace the Fang family with the Fuyu branch, rather than temporarily handing over the Fang family to Zhou Tian to take charge.

Because Fang Chen is a local snake, he has good relationships with the Fuyu government and has business dealings with the five families. He is generous in dealing with people and affairs, and provides convenient care to the port. It can be said that everything is inclusive, and it is considered an existence that the five families acquiesced to.

Zhou Tian is just an outsider, has no relationship with the government, has no friendship with the five families, and has no reputation in the local area. It can be said that even if he kills him, he will not cause any trouble.

So for the two families, Zhou Tian’s value is only in the name of the sect and privileges, and it is not really for him to replace Fang Chen. As long as he achieves his goal, he can be a puppet in the future.

It can be said that when you are in a different position, you naturally have different perspectives on the problem. The gentry had to consider the overall situation and attitudes of all parties. Zhou Tian only saw the gap in strength and acted simply and roughly, and had no idea that he had stepped on the brink of death.

But he couldn't see his situation clearly, and sneered, "Okay, you go back to the city first and tell the mistress, you can do whatever you want on weekdays, and you don't need to care. If that kid is not tactful, I don't mind giving him a lesson in person."

"Yes, Master!" the disciple replied happily. It would be nice to have a powerful master, and he could do whatever he wants.

In the county town, the martial arts hall was suppressed by the seven families everywhere. When I came to this small county town, I finally became a top-notch person. No one dared to mess with the county town. It was the so-called three major families in Fuyu. They were slapped in the face by their brothers, and they didn’t even dare to let go of their farts. This kind of life was so wonderful.

...

In Fuyu County Government, Jiang Liuying's face was as calm and calm as ever, but there was a hint of inaccurate haze in his eyes.

He originally didn't care about Zhou Tian's arrival. For him, it would be the same for anyone who became a local snake in Fuyu. As long as he could help him accumulate official achievements, he even turned a little towards Zhou Tian because of the little affection between Zhong and Liu families.

After all, as a gentry, some things are easier to discuss. He also believes that the two families are smart people and will definitely cooperate with each other in exchange for the Jiang family's favor. After accumulating enough official achievements, he will immediately leave. At that time, Fuyu will have nothing to do with him.

But I never expected that these martial artists in the world are just idiots. They messed up the public security of Fuyu as soon as they came. If this continues, let alone official achievements, you should be glad you will not be criticized for being badly evaluated.

Although there are people in the Jiang family who are in charge of the censor, he is very sure that the person who was evaluated by his confidant of the Haizhou Governor.

The governor of Tianxiazhou comes from the royal family and clan mansion!

Every governor is at least the noble of the princes. In the prosperous states, there are princes in charge. In name, they are supervising the world, but in fact they are staring at the great families in various places for the royal family.

He, the third son of the Jiang family, was naturally focusing on the list.

So, although he is calm and calm now, he is actually so anxious.

But Zhou Tian and Fang Chen are both people in the world, and their grudges are in the world. He is not easy to use the power of his family to intervene, so he can only solve the problem with Fuyu's existing strength and his own abilities.

What’s even more troublesome is that the Fuyao Gang can be rectified in the county town in the name of public security, but outside the county town, it is impossible to manage it at all.

The imperial power will not go to the countryside, and the people will not procure officials.

The townships are managed by the three elders, and most of the three elders are local tribes. Now they are the ones who are threatened and harassed. They don’t even report to the officials themselves. Jiang Liuying has only enough strength and has no place to use them.

And so what if he can do it? As long as he doesn't have a life, it's not a serious crime. During the Taiping period, the county had another supervisory officer staring at him, silently recording local affairs, and handing them over at any time. Therefore, he could not find an excuse to lock people up for a few years.

If the two families want to seize the foundation of the Fang family, Zhou Tian wants to start a sect and suppress local forces, and they cannot stop easily. Therefore, there will be a little more chaos before the results are achieved.

In fact, the easiest way is to slaughter Fang Chen, and get a piece of the industry, and nothing happens.

But the problem is that the family cannot take action, and the seven families in Fuyu will not take action. Zhou Tian is controlled by the two families and dare not take action. Who can kill him?

As for Jiang Liuying himself, he didn't dare to take action.

After a while in Fuyu, he had already understood how deep Fang Chen's foundation was. Fuyu had almost all received his favor from the gentry and the people. Even if he had not received any benefits directly, he opened the sea, built workshops, collected the poor and raised his monthly salary to work, and ordered Fang to be a broad-leaning farmer. How many people in Fuyu would not think about him?

In the government, except for the Jiantiansi, who has confiscated his money?

He said with no angrily that anyone in Fuyu can touch Fang Chen, but the only one in his county is not. As long as he dares to move, there will be civil war. Then even the family will not be able to save him.

So, after half a month of thinking, he found that there are only two ways to solve the problem.

First, they waited for the two families and Zhou Tian to get things done, but he was not optimistic. With Fang Chen's foundation and means, they could not do anything. In the end, they would completely lose patience and directly kill. At that time, Fuyu would be in chaos for a while and then return to normal, and he could be at ease to govern. But at that time, the forces of the Fang system would inevitably collapse, and the effect of the government orders was completely unknown.

The second is to protect Fang Chen, at least not dead during his tenure. As long as Fang Chen is alive, he can cooperate with his own governance with his influence, first increase the money, grain and taxes, and then slowly solve the public security issues, and his official performance will be stable. When he leaves, the two families will have nothing to do with him whether they kill or cut.

After thinking it through, Jiang Liuying quickly made a decision and made some moves to let people know the attitude of his third son Jiang.

But even though he made a decision, he was still a little confused about the result. If Fang Chen couldn't withstand the pressure or had any accidents, he had to make a new plan.

Therefore, when he learned that Fang Chen was back, he could not help but send someone to summon him.

"Sir, the head of the Fang family is here and is waiting outside the yard." After waiting for a long time, Captain Huang finally brought the person.

Jiang Liuying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she smiled gently on her face, "Thank you for your hard work, please come in."

Huang Yong said excitedly: "Yes, sir!" and then retreated lightly.

"Caomin has met the county master!" Fang Chen quickly entered and was very kind.

Jiang Liuying nodded with satisfaction. She was indeed a sensible person. Unlike some idiots, who thought that if you had some skills, you could talk to the imperial officials equally, and you were just ignorant of your life or death.

"The head of the Fang family does not need to be polite, please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

After sitting down, Jiang Liuying did not mention Fuyu directly. Instead, she talked about some irrelevant topics and asked about his feelings about going out this time.

Fang Chen knew the nature of their big families. He liked to beat around the bush in everything and was not good at all. He insisted on saying some nonsense to show their knowledge and vision, and never got to the point for a long time.

But he was not in a hurry to guess the other party was thinking. He seemed to listen carefully and answer sincerely, and he slowly dealt with it without mentioning Fuyu's affairs.

Jiang Liuying was helpless and knew that he had already fallen behind when he was eager to summon him. He must have guessed the result with the other party's mind. But even though he knew this, he did not want to delay it for a long time. Such mixed interests disputes are most likely to cause variables and need to settle things as soon as possible.
