Butler Zhang sighed, and said, "I don't want to run Youcaoju like this. The Zhang family is rich enough, so multiple friends have multiple paths, and there are many alchemists in this purple city, no matter how bad it is. We are not going to be unable to make any money, it is almost done, but there is no way. If we do not make this money, we are afraid that even the foundation of the Zhang family at the time will not be able to hold."

Qing Zhu's expression became solemn, he couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked, "Steward Zhang, who are the people who gave you these things in the first place? Can even the Zhang family not be offended?

Butler Zhang gave a wry smile, and said: "I don't know who it is. I only know any elder of the Zhang family. I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the man wearing a mask, and the subordinates that person brought , They are all amazing!"

Qing Zhu frowned and said, "Steward Zhang, can you tell us what happened that day?"

Butler Zhang nodded and said, "Why not?"

Butler Zhang Da talked about what happened that day. Two years later, he still remembers the scenes at that time still fresh, and it can be seen how shocking he was!

Butler Zhang said: "That day was about this time, I will come back from the outside, and I saw a group of people waiting in my yard, and looking at their posture, it is definitely not like walking through the front door. Those who come in seem to have fallen from the sky and appeared out of thin air."

"I can't remember how many people there are in total, because there are faceless people in ambush, and I can't count the number of them. But the ones that can be counted include the one who is sitting in the middle who is particularly well-dressed. There are seven men, all of whom are extremely powerful masters. When I saw them, I couldn't help but thumped and knelt down."

Speaking of this, the butler Zhang Da still touched his chest with lingering fears, and then continued: "As soon as they opened their mouths, they threw me a scroll. I opened it tremblingly and saw that it was written that they could give I was taken aback by the various benefits of my Zhang family, and felt that the good things that pie in the sky could not fall on me, so I asked, what do you want my Zhang family to do standing next to the black clothes A pretty young girl in, said, I want you Zhang Family to completely destroy Youcaoju, so that Lin Zhan will never stand up. He has to take the initiative to ask her son on the head..."

"Wait!" Lin Xuanzhi suddenly interrupted Zhang Da's butler, and said, "When they came to the door, was my father still alive?"

Butler Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, it was nearly half a year before your father's accident."

Lin Xuanzhi squinted his eyes, and it seemed that those people were indeed here for Lin Zhan.

Butler Zhang continued: "From their words, I can understand exactly when Lin Zhan must have offended these people so badly, that's why he aroused those people's unpleasantness, so that he used this method to suppress them. Youcaoju. Seeing that I was hesitant, they began to threaten me, saying that if I were ignorant, they had their own way to make the Zhang family disappear from the territory of Wuzhou."

Butler Zhang sighed and said: "This is a big deal. They want to threaten Zhang's family. I knew it at the time. These people, if it weren't for them), they are doing whatever they want. Power is over, otherwise, you won’t say the words of annihilation as soon as you speak."

It was the first time that Zhang Da steward saw this kind of person, but because he was a person who had seen big winds and waves, he didn't panic too much, but weighed the opponent's lethality and Zhang's gains and losses.

After the assessment, the butler Zhang Da agreed upon gritting his teeth.

Anyway, even if they agreed, they wouldn't have too much loss. At most, the lion in the deed book claimed 30% of their annual profit.

But if, as those people said, the income of the Ten Thousand Grass Pavilion could be ten times that of the current Youcaoju, then 30% would be nothing.

To be honest, the Zhang family does not rely on the Wancao Pavilion for food. In most cases, the Wancao Pavilion sells the spiritual grass that the family disciples can’t use but can’t keep them. If it can be done, it’s a good thing. If it can't be done, then 30% of the profit is nothing, and the Zhang family can still hold it.

After signing the contract, butler Zhang Da did not fall asleep for three days and three nights.

I always feel that I am sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

He didn't have much hope for Wancao Pavilion. He didn't expect that within a few days, someone would personally come to talk to them about the Wancao Pavilion business, and those people, Zhang Da butler, even if he hadn't seen him, would have heard of them. Their names are actually great families or great alchemists.

It was in this situation that the Zhang family was "forced" to pick up the Wancao Pavilion business, and not long after, the housekeeper Zhang heard that the spirit grass of Youcaoju had been destroyed.

"Lin Zhan was still alive when it was destroyed," said Zhang Da Butler.

Lin Xuanzhi said: "Then after you, have you seen those people?"

Butler Zhang shook his head and said: "This is also where I dare not to offend them, because those people are hungry. It is really too mysterious. I have never seen them again without telling them. I sent someone to inquire about their origin, but They all returned to no avail. However, after Lin Zhan died, they logically should have let You Caoju go. Unexpectedly, they would even intensify their suppression. I don’t know whether Lin Zhan and them have any. What a deep hatred."

Lin Xuanzhi naturally didn't know. In his memory, his father had many friends, but basically no enemies.

Qing Zhu suddenly asked, "Housekeeper Zhang, what does the woman talking next to the masked man look like, do you remember?"

Butler Zhang Da frowned, touched his head and said: "I vaguely remember it, but it's strange, I can't see clearly."

Qing Zhu and Lin Xuanzhi looked at each other and understood.

This is a kind of illusion, or it is a kind of memory influence on the other party when the pressure is deep enough.

Even if I saw the face of the person who applied the illusionist clearly at the time, I could remember it in a flash afterwards, but on the whole, it was still vague, as if the memory was washed away.

Master.

Lin Xuanzhi felt a little tricky in his heart.

It can be inferred from the description of the housekeeper Zhang that the woman should be just a maid, but a maid can have such a large energy, which shows how difficult it is for "those people" to provoke.

As for other things, Zhang Da’s housekeeper couldn’t tell why. As for which companies Zhang’s family worked with, Zhang Da’s housekeeper didn’t mention it. He was probably worried that Lin Xuanzhi would come to them and affect Zhang’s Wancao Pavilion. Business.

At this point, Lin Xuanzhi almost understood the ins and outs, and even confirmed the defeat of Youcaoju. There were a bunch of people behind them who were manipulating them, and they could not get much useful information. Lin Xuanzhi and others He didn't waste time here, and quickly got up and left.

After Lin Xuanzhi and others left, a young man walked over from the other side of the corridor and said to the butler Zhang: "Grandpa, why should we be so polite to them and tell them so much? In case we offend those people, we can't guarantee it. Can't eat it and walk around."

Butler Zhang patted the back of the young man’s hand and said, “You don’t understand this. The reason those people deal with Youcaoju is to deal with Lin Zhan, but now Lin Zhan is dead, and those people are no longer able to deal with it. Of course, the target of this is not very concerned about our business. You can see that the number of times their people come here has decreased in the past two years, but Lin Xuanzhi is a wizard. , Presumably, these days, you have also heard a lot of rumors about him. Now he has become a disciple of Shen Jianfeng’s Peak Master Guanmen. His status and status have naturally risen. Our Zhang family also has many disciples practicing in Xuantian School. There are even some of Shen Jianfeng's inner disciples. Instead of offending Lin Xuanzhi, it is better to show his favor. Even if he does not help the Zhang family in the future, he will never be offended by him."

The teenager thought for a while, nodded and said: "Grandpa is right, I'm not thinking about it."

Although the Zhang family was driven by a duck to the shelves, after all, they were also on the way to the collapse of Youcaoju. If Lin Xuanzhi is narrow-minded and strong in revenge, he will not easily let go of Zhang in the future. Home.

Although the Zhang family is not afraid of Lin Xuanzhi, it is always better to have a good relationship than to have a bad relationship.

It was getting late when they came out of Zhang's house. Lin Xuanzhi and others did not directly take advantage of the night to return to Xuancheng, but found an inn to live in.

In the inn, the three people sat around the table of the Little Eight Immortals, forming a triangle.

Yan Tianhen stuffed some snacks from the inn Xiaoer to his mouth, and said, "Big Brother, it seems that the Zhang family is very taboo against those people."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, and said, "It seems that my father did offend someone who shouldn't be offended."

Yan Tianhen thought for a while and asked, "Brother, you said you dealt with Youcaoju, would it also be the Jian family?"

Lin Xuanzhi shook his head and said, "I don't think it will be the Jian family. The style of behavior is too different. The Jian family dealt with the restaurant of the Lin family, but they blatantly cannibalized it, but Youcaoju is hiding it here. He didn’t cover it, and didn’t come out in person... It’s just that I don’t understand, my father is no longer there, why they continue to target Youcaoju"

Qing Zhu's complexion was a bit ugly. After a while, he raised his eyes and said, "I'm not sure about some things, but I need some time to verify it. Maybe these things are inseparable from me."

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen looked at Qingzhu at the same time.

Lin Xuanzhi said: "Uncle Zhuzi, do you know something? Has my father sinned against anyone before?"

Qing Zhu's face turned pale, and shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily the person your father has offended. It's also possible that I caused him."

Yan Tianhen was suddenly puzzled, but when he saw Lin Xuanzhi's eyes, he suppressed the question that came to his lips.

Qing Zhu was silent for a moment, stood up and said, "It's getting late, and you are tired from running around today. Rest early. I will investigate this matter to the end."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded and got up to send him off, saying: "Uncle Zhuzi don't worry too much. Of course it's best to find out about this matter. If it's really difficult to deal with, we have to discuss it long-term."

Qing Zhu sighed and said, "Okay."

After Qing Zhu left, Yan Tianhen blinked his eyes and asked in a puzzled manner: "Big Brother, why didn't you let me ask?"

Lin Xuanzhi rubbed his head and said, "Uncle Zhuzi should have some eyebrows, but he is not sure now. We will wait for him to find out and tell us from beginning to end. I think. If this is not the case. It is related to the Nine Realms, if not it is related to Uncle Bamboo."

Yan Tianhen thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized something suddenly, and said, "Could it be that it is related to the mortal of Brother Zhuzi?"

Lin Xuanzhi paused and said, "I'm not sure, but I don't rule out this possibility."

Ever since he suddenly returned to Lin's house one day, Qing Zhu has never said anything about the past. Although Lin Xuanzhi has never seen Qing Zhu's Taoist couple with his own eyes, he has heard Lin Zhan mentioned it before. Lin Zhan said at that time One by one

"I always feel that the mortal that Qingzhu is fond of, there is always something weird, and there is a sense of violation."

However, Lin Zhan couldn't find out what was wrong with that person at the time, so he finally disappeared.
