The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 677: Ming Tang's New Era
The eldest son said: "It's not your problem, it's the trouble caused by my incompetent younger sisters. My father didn't dislike you. In fact, my father admires you very much, but he has some feelings for the girls in the family." Hate iron but not steel."

Li Dao couldn't answer these words, he just smiled.

The eldest son went on to say: "Then I won't come to see you off tomorrow. There are also many things here. I have been very busy recently. I knew you were leaving today, so I took the time to come home for dinner. You take this .”

While talking, the eldest son took out a purple gold token from his pocket and handed it to Li Dao.

"This is my personal order, of course it is only my personal order, not the departmental order. After arriving in Dazhong Prefecture, if you encounter any trouble, you can ask the people in Mingtang for help."

"In addition, I heard that you are very interested in the 'Mother Wolf''s "All Things Return to the Ruins", tomorrow I will ask someone to send you that exercise together with the "Detailed Explanation of the Geographical Map of the Wasteland". It is for you A farewell gift."

"Well..." Li Dao was not polite, took the token, and said, "Thank you very much."

The eldest son said: "I should be the one to thank you, thank you for doing so much for Mingtang, or our sixth room, and also thank you for giving my fourth sister and sixth brother the exercise, so that they can recover come over."

"To be honest, all these years I have been feeling guilty for abolishing them. It's just guilt, but I don't regret it. Even if I go back to the beginning, I will still do it."

"But you made up for my guilt, so I am very grateful to you, and I am very happy to have you as a friend. I even think that investing in you is the most successful business I have ever done in my life."

Li Dao said with a smile: "Isn't it the outsider? By the way, what happened to the 'she-wolf', is it dead?"

The eldest son sighed regretfully, and said: "No, Bafang is the blood of the third ancestor. The contribution of the third ancestor to Mingtang is really great, and it can be said that it is second only to the old ancestor, the 'big patriarch'."

"And it was the last brother of the ancestor who passed away. The ancestor thought of this friendship and refused to kill me. The new owner of the eighth room is enshrined in the official residence."

……

When this matter was mentioned, the Eldest Young Master felt depressed, but the good thing was that the candidate for the new owner of the eighth house was born to Hong Yanzhi and a "male concubine".

Because the status of the "male concubine" is low, and apart from being good-looking, other things are not very good, and he is not favored, so Hong Zhiyan doesn't like this child very much.

Although Hong Yanzhi had many faces, she only had three children in total, and the most favored was the third son she had with "Mr. Huo", but it was a pity that he "died" when he was six years old.

Hmm... This is probably Hong Shengnan's handwriting.

The eldest son, who was born to her and her "righteous husband", is in his 20s this year. He is also a shrewd and capable person, and he is a big shopkeeper of the Sicao Department.

After Bafang was defeated by the "she-wolf", he took the initiative to come to Liufang to donate. He also knew that if he accepted the position of owner of Bafang, he would inevitably attract the "gentle wind and light rain" to explore the wind. suspicion.

So, he took the initiative to push out the younger brother who was only 16 years old and was not liked by Hong Yanzhi, and hoped that he could be transferred from the Si Cao Department to the Tanfeng Department, even if he was downgraded to a higher level, it would be okay to be the second shopkeeper.

The eldest son understood his thoughts, so he filled him in and brought him by his side to become his deputy. As for the original deputy, You Qingshan, the treasurer of the Tanfeng Department, was "executed" for the crime of mutilating his fellow disciples.

Of course, this was just a "execution" in name, and the real You Qingshan wore a mask and a gray robe, becoming the "Ah Er" next to the eldest son.

It has to be said that the Eldest Young Master's method is really good, and it is also ruthless, making the other houses think that You Qingshan is arranged by them in the Tanfeng Department, but they don't know that You Qingshan has always belonged to the Eldest Young Master. people.

After the outbreak of the devil incident, You Qingshan obeyed the orders of those people on the surface, killed all the guards of the Seventh Young Master who came back from the outer eight states to report, and gained the trust of those people, but secretly sent a letter to the eldest son.

As a result, Outer Bazhou, which was originally blocked by the "Dark Conference", opened an opening, and the eldest son was able to get timely news.

He also knew about Li Dao's troubles in the outer eight states, and then quickly adjusted his strategic deployment and cooperated with him, and finally Liu Fang succeeded in taking the lead.

Otherwise, if things continue in a muddle-headed way, it might turn into a pot of rotten meat in the end. Even if there are six homeowners monitoring the "dark meeting", Li Dao is likely to die in a place close to Ming Sanzhou on the way.

Hong Qi will not die, at most he will be imprisoned, and he will be released when the matter is settled. After all, no one dares to bear the crime of "mutual murder of the same surname".

But what makes the eldest son happy is that the organizer of the "dark meeting" and the culprit, the second house owner, Hong Zhiming, died.

The eldest son personally gave him a glass of poisoned wine, and Hong Zhiming was very sad when he was dying.

Yan said, Mingtang, from now on will no longer be the former Mingtang, but will become the Liufang Yiyantang. He feels heartbroken that the rules set by the Eighteenth Patriarch will be destroyed.

The eldest son told him that the rules set by Ming Tang more than 100 years ago have already decayed, and the time has passed too long, and the entire Ming Tang has also begun to rot. Let him pass the old era, and the next Ming Tang will usher in a new era. with new rules.

Hong Zhiming asked, is your new era a good one?
The eldest son said, I don't know if he is good or not, and I don't know what the future will be like, but I know that he is new, and new things will flourish most, at least they don't have to rot together with old things.

Hong Zhiming sighed, drank the pot of poisoned wine, and left his last words: "I hope, you are right..."

Although there are conflicts of interests between them, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a conflict of ideas between the conservatives and the reformers.

The "Dark Council" felt that Mingtang was the Mingtang of the Eighteenth House, and should not be hereditary from the ancestors. In that case, Mingtang would not be Mingtang.

But the eldest son felt that the current Mingtang had already begun to rot, and if it continued like this, it might completely rot. Instead of this, it would be better to change the "old rules" and shave off the rotten flesh.

Whether it's right or wrong to do this, he doesn't know, and he also understands the loss caused to Ming Tang, but as he said, this is "new".

……

Of course, Li Dao didn't know about these things, and the eldest son didn't need to tell him, after all, this was Ming Tang's own business.

After the eldest son finished talking about the situation of the 'wolf', he just sighed regretfully, and then asked: "By the way, there is one thing that I can't understand no matter how I think about it."

Li Dao asked suspiciously: "What?"
