Volume 1: The King's Son Chapter 10 The Company and the Nine Masters
In the office.
Sitting at the top was the 65th generation Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion, one of the Nine Masters, with the Taoist name Tiantong, Zhang Zhiwei, the only top master in the country.
In fact, Wang Ai’s words were very clear. He just wanted Zhang Zhiwei to express his opinion and tell him what he really thought. After all, Zhang Huaiyi was your junior fellow apprentice.
Don’t tell us about Zhang Huaiyi’s death. We all know that Zhang Xilin is Zhang Huaiyi.
So, do you care or not?
If Zhang Zhiwei is in charge, then everyone else should stop talking nonsense. It's just a slap in the face for everyone, so why make yourself bored?
If Zhang Zhiwei doesn't care, there will be a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.
"Old Wang, how come I remember... this old man seems to be called Zhang Xilin! And Zhang Huaiyi rebelled against the Tianshi Mansion during the turmoil back then..." Lu Jin, who was sitting next to Zhang Zhiwei, suddenly spoke.
Although this excuse was a bit lame, it was obvious that Lu Jin was trying to help Zhang Zhiwei get away with it.
You should know that Wang Ai had set a language trap for Zhang Zhiwei while talking just now.
That is, no matter whether Zhang Zhiwei said he cared or not, he actually indirectly admitted that Zhang Huaiyi had a relationship with the Tianshi Mansion!
You know, it was their elders who defined those thirty-six people as "thieves".
The positions were already drawn at that time!
They are the decent ones, and the thirty-six are the "villains".
If Zhang Zhiwei follows what Wang Ai said, it means that there is a secret between them and the "villains"...
Now, after Lu Jin's intervention, at least Zhang Zhiwei's position was brought back to the side of the crowd.
"Really... Haha! Old Lu, look at my memory."
Wang Ai still maintained a smiling expression. He opened his eyes slightly and said, "Okay then, just treat him as Zhang Xilin!"
"Everyone..."
At this time, Zhao Fangxu, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but speak up, "There's no need for us to worry about whether he is Zhang Xilin or Zhang Huaiyi. After all, death is the greatest thing!"
"I invited you all here this time because I want to ask you if you can calm this matter down... If you can't, try to reduce the impact of this incident..."
After hearing this, the elders remained silent, and the entire conference room fell into silence.
After a while, an old man wearing a mandarin jacket and a goatee slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Zhao Fangxu and said, "In the northeast..."
"I will go and discuss this with Guan the witch... We will do our best to suppress this matter in the Northeast! We won't let this matter continue to ferment..."
Hearing this, Zhao Fangxu's eyes lit up, "Thank you so much, Master Gao!"
In the conference room, seeing the sudden statement of the Patriarch of the Gao Family, Lv Ci, Wang Ai and others were also somewhat surprised, and their brows could not help but frowned...
What is this old guy surnamed Gao doing?
They had originally planned to ignore the matter!
Everyone knows the cause and result of the incident. They can just take revenge if they have any grudges and complain if they have any. As long as it has nothing to do with them, they are too lazy to get involved.
Originally, the company's sudden interference had made many strangers feel disgusted, and the nine bosses did not want to get into trouble.
Why is it that your Gao family is rushing to be the vanguard now?
The Gao family’s statement did surprise many bigwigs!
Even Zhang Zhiwei opened his eyes and looked at Patriarch Gao before slowly closing them...
Everyone originally thought that if everyone dealt with the matter in silence, then in the end this incident might have nothing to do with them, the nine bosses.
After all, we acquiesced! This way we will definitely not be disliked by the circle.
As for headaches...what does the company's headache have to do with them, the nine bosses?
But now…
The sudden statement made by the head of the Gao family made everyone feel a little at a loss for a moment.
You say you agree, then in the eyes of others you are in cahoots with the company, and your behavior is too ugly...
You say you disagree, but you are making Zhao Fangxu laugh at you. You "brother" can't even agree on the big things!
Fortunately, none of the old folks present here are vegetarians.
They are all old guys who have lived for nearly a hundred years, so who doesn’t have some tricks up their sleeves!
Wang Ai leaned on his cane and squinted his eyes and said, "Alright, alright! Since Lao Gao has said so, let's try to save face! But Mr. Zhao..."
Wang Ai was halfway through his words when he suddenly changed the subject and said, "The alien world has always been happy to settle scores! Although we went to negotiate peace, if they really don't accept it, there is nothing we can do... After all, they are in the right in this matter!"
"Among those who died this time, quite a few were sect leaders!"
"I think you, Mr. Zhao, are aware of the importance of the head of the sect. This is a life-and-death feud between the two families!"
"If they are determined to pursue the matter, there is no reason for us to stop them, right..."
"Of course!"
Zhao Fangxu nodded. If these old foxes could help, it would help share some of the pressure for their company.
As long as they can come forward, the strange people in the circle will still give them some face!
Otherwise, the whole thing would fall on their company, and the company could not guarantee that it would be able to completely suppress the situation.
With Jiu Lao acting as a buffer in the middle, everyone's psychological endurance range becomes a little greater and their company is also easier to operate.
"Mr. Zhao..."
Suddenly, Lu Ci, who had been sitting next to Wang Ai without saying a word, said, "Let's go and negotiate peace, no problem!"
"But... Mr. Zhao, I think I need to confirm whether Zhang Xilin is Zhang Huaiyi! Otherwise, how can we convince those sects?"
"Yes...Mr. Zhao!"
Wang Ai also spoke up at this time, "Brother Lu has already said that Zhang Huaiyi has been a rebel against the Tianshi Mansion for many years and there has been no news at all!"
"We still don't know who Zhang Xilin is. After all, it's impossible for just any random person to kill so many old guys! We need to confirm his identity so that we can make peace with him!"
"Otherwise, if they really ask us, we won't know anything, and then what will happen..."
"In that case, I, old man, will give it a try reluctantly!"
Finally, Zhang Zhiwei, who had been sitting at the head of the group like a little transparent, spoke up: "Although the Lu family's soul-clearing technique is magical, we at Zhengyi also have a soul-clearing technique that can detect memories!"
"As an old Taoist priest, I will guarantee everyone. I don't think anyone will say anything..."
!!!!
Everyone was stunned again. They did not expect that this time, the "peaceful" Zhang Zhiwei would be willing to come out and act as the guarantor.
Even Lu Ci didn't say anything more, and naturally no one could question Zhang Zhiwei's importance!
Wherever he sits, he is a signboard! Unshakable authority!
Originally, Lu Ci wanted to try whether he could use the Soul-Clearing Technique to collect some information about the origin of Qi from Zhang Huaiyi's remaining soul.
Now it seems that I have no intention of thinking about it...
Zhang Zhiwei has already spoken. If you refute him, you would be disrespecting him.
Zhao Fangxu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that this great man finally spoke.
It would be best if Zhang Zhiwei could take part in person. Zhang Zhiwei not only represents the Tianshi Mansion, but also the entire Zhengyi School and even the attitude of Taoism as a whole.
"Old Taoist Priest, thank you for your help!" Zhao Fangxu said.
…
The other side.
"Hello? It's me... Yes... Please go ahead!"
Uncle Dong listened to Wang Ai's message while holding his mobile phone (Nokia), nodding his head from time to time.
After a while, Uncle Dong walked up to Wang Bing and said, "Young Master Wang, the old man said that they have finished their meeting. He wanted to ask if we should go over there and wait for them, or wait here for them to come over and give us a ride?"
"Let's go over there! Since the grandfather has finished the meeting, I've seen enough, so let me say goodbye to Brother Lu!" Wang Bing replied.
"yes!"
Uncle Dong nodded slightly. He knew Lu Lin's identity. He was the eldest son of the Lu family, just like his own young master Wang Bing.
Seeing Wang Bing walking towards them, Lu Lin hurriedly said, "Brother Wang... I'm sorry! I think my sister and I have to leave first. Grandpa called and asked us to go back..."
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for explaining this to me this time! If it weren't for Brother Wang, I wouldn't have known so many things about this Chinese painting..."
"To be honest, I also came to say goodbye to Brother Lu! It seems that our grandfather has finished the meeting!" Wang Bing also returned the greeting.
