Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"A grand gathering in Nanxiang? I've never heard of Nanxiang having a provincial capital."

Jiang Yingxue looked puzzled. Having lived in the city for a long time, she obviously didn't know what this so-called Southern Township Festival was.

Chu Nan shook his head. "I don't know either."

Jiang Yingxue is at least a native of Beihai, while Chu Nan only stayed in Beihai for a few years because he came to study.

I only learned about the fierce and tough folk customs of Nanxiang because of rescuing Xia Wantang.

Jiang Yingxue frowned slightly. "So, this grand gathering in Nanxiang is very likely just a gimmick to keep us here?"

Chu Nan shook his head. "The possibility is very small. It's probably because there really is some grand event in Nanxiang, and they happen to need my help, which is why they kept me here."

Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything more; she really couldn't understand this matter.

As things stand, she is gradually understanding why the old lady insisted on having Chu Nan marry into the family.

But Chu Nan's value lies more in commercial aspects, which are meaningless to Nanxiang.

They have been isolated for so many years and have never asked for help from the outside world.

Several municipal leadership teams have tried to find ways to break through the constraints.

Especially during the relocation of the municipal government to the south, they tried every possible method, but ultimately failed.

This shows that Nanxiang must have long since developed a self-sufficient profit system, which is why they are indifferent to money.

"However, we will soon find out what this so-called grand event is all about."

Since it is a grand event for the entire Nanxiang area, it must concern all the people of Nanxiang.

In this situation, as long as you find an excuse to take a stroll around in the evening, you can easily find out what this so-called grand event is all about.

Knowing the details of the event, it's not hard to guess the purpose behind Master Ding's repeated assistance.

Meanwhile, in Master Ding's room, Elder Yuan was kneeling on the ground, but his face showed some resentment.

"Godfather, why did you give that outsider so much face?!"

Erniu looked speechless. "Boss, just stop talking!"

He didn't know why, but the usually shrewd elder brother was making a fuss at this crucial moment.

I couldn't see anything else clearly, but just now, Chu Nan casually flicked his hand and used a move called "hitting a cow through a mountain" to destroy the entire wall.

Is this a skill that an ordinary martial arts practitioner can achieve?

That's a grandmaster!

Even if you don't know what a Grandmaster is, you should know that what Chu Nan did is something no human could do!

To everyone's surprise, Erniu's advice only made Yuan Laoda angrier. "And you, you seem to have been bewitched by that outsider too? You've always been on my side!"

Erniu was on the verge of tears. "Brother Ding, please talk to the boss and stop him from making any more mistakes!"

"Me, confused? What am I confused about! Do you know how much money Lao Jiu promised me at this three-way horse racing event?"

The eldest brother was still acting recklessly, saying, "With that money, I can definitely recruit soldiers and horses, and subdue those two bastards, Li Erdan and Zhang Laosan!"

"At that time, the people in charge of this southern township will ultimately be from our Qiaobei Village. Don't you... Godfather, want to see our Qiaobei Village continue to have the power to govern the entire southern township?"

"Boss!"

Erniu was getting anxious and wanted to persuade him, but Dingye stopped him with a look, and he could only watch helplessly as Yuan Laoda continued to complain.

"I know you disapprove of connections with outsiders, but Li Erdan has ties to the forces in Nanlu County, and Zhang Laosan has close ties with the city. If I sit idly by and wait for my doom, we'll lose our positions as leaders completely!"

Master Ding took a drag of his cigarette and said calmly, "Finished?"

The old man's gaze was calm, but it made Yuan Laoda shudder. He swallowed his resentment.

"I've...I'm done talking..."

"Li Erdan did it, Zhang Laosan did it, so...you have to do it too, right?"

"Godfather, that's not what I meant. It's just that Li Erdan has the county's epilepsy doctor as a guarantor, and Zhang Laosan has a private relationship with the Dragon King of the North Sea. Under these circumstances, only we in Qiaobei are still honestly following the rules of Nanxiang and not relying on outsiders."

The elder swallowed hard. "If this continues, the situation in Nanxiang will change sooner or later, and then Nanxiang will no longer be a united front!"

"If I don't seek outside help, it's inevitable that the power in Nanxiang will be divided up by the county and other forces!"

Uncle Ding remained calm and said, "Yes, according to your logic, if you don't find someone to help you, you'll be swallowed up by Qiaodong and Qiaonan sooner or later, and the entire Nanxiang will be divided up by the county town and the city."

"But... was the Xue family's help to you for nothing?"

"this……"

The elder statesman was speechless for a moment and remained silent.

Dingye continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the Xue family is also eyeing the development of Nanxiang. At that time, Nanxiang will also face the fate of being divided up."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. I don't believe you, with your blockhead, can't understand that."

"I……"

"You understand perfectly, you understand it all too well. Xue Lao Jiu has even promised you that once it's done, you'll be freed from the constraints and the Xue family will be allowed to develop Nanxiang. And he's also promised you... that you'll permanently hold a high position in Nanxiang, right?"

Ding Ye's tone and expression remained unchanged, but his aura had turned drastically cold.

The elder brother lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.

Because... Master Ding was right about everything!

Li Erdan and Zhang Laosan colluded with outsiders, plotting to win the Three Horse Racing Championship and divide up Nanxiang. He was doing the same.

Although the initial intention was simply to rebel, the final result was no different.

Such "selfishness" is the last thing the bigwigs of Nanxiang can have. Once they have such thoughts, the collapse of Nanxiang is inevitable.

Given Ding Ye's status and temperament, it's safe to say that based on this alone, he could enforce the village rules on the spot and kill the village elder on the spot!

Erniu had always followed the elder brother and knew how the others did things, which is why he truly respected the elder brother.

Unexpectedly, the elder statesman did the same thing in order to rebel.

It can be said that Erniu had the most complicated thoughts on the scene.

But thinking of the care and support the eldest brother had given him since childhood, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and say, "Master Ding, everything the eldest brother did was a choice he was forced to make. Please, please spare his life!"

"According to the village rules, I am willing to gather five brothers, cut off one of my own arms, and pay for the elder brother's life!"

"Erniu..."

Elder Yuan's voice trembled. He hadn't expected that Erniu would remain so loyal even at this critical juncture.

"According to the village rules? According to the village rules, this is called betraying one's hometown and colluding with outsiders!"

Ding Ye slammed his pipe down, sparks flying. "You think five people with five arms are enough?"

"All of you brothers who eat and drink with the elder statesman, even losing two arms wouldn't be enough!"

"Master Ding!"

Erniu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, but Dingye's expression remained unchanged.

Seeing all this, the eldest elder suddenly took a deep breath. "Godfather, do you intend to execute my mother according to the village rules?"

As he said this, the elder's eyes clearly no longer showed the trembling fear he had shown before.

Instead, it had an added touch of—coldness!
