Chapter 25 Reactions from all parties

The news that Huo family's master Huo Chengming got the momentum quickly spread throughout Luzhou City. As the leader of the Luzhou family, Huo Chengming was involved in many places, not only the more than 60 stores under the Huo family, but also the thousand acres of fertile land outside Luzhou City, but also the important force of Liang Wang Wusansi in Hedong. Once something happened, he would be involved very widely. There were also many people who were eyeing him, staring at the position of the spokesperson of Liang Wang.

I heard that something happened to the Huo family leader. The wealthy families in Luzhou City all had their own thoughts and visited them one after another. Huo Xian, as Huo Chengming's eldest son, came out to work very early. All the wealthy families knew this shrewd and capable eldest son. Although they were not as capable as Huo Chengming, they could at least stabilize the hearts of the people. They were also afraid that Huo would be taken over by the playboy of the second son Huo Lin. At that time, the power of the Liang King of Luzhou would be within the internal strife of power and profit.

Huo Lin was woken up from the arms of a concubine in the morning. After knowing that something happened to his father, his sleepiness was immediately dispelled. He was so scared that he was completely unaware of the situation. Even the person who reported the news secretly showed contemptuous eyes at him: It's such a fool. Even if something happened to his father, he didn't know what he wanted to do.

After a long time, Huo Lin, who woke up after the shaking of his concubine, immediately put on his clothes and went straight to his mother's residence. He was told that after he arrived at his mother's residence, his mother had already arrived at Tingtao Pavilion, and he woke up and rushed to Tingtao Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Tingtao Pavilion, he heard his mother Qi Fang’s angry voice: Good, you little hoof, it’s okay to hook up with him, but this time he even made the master like this, I won’t deal with you!

Then he heard his elder brother Huo Xian say leisurely: Auntie, the most urgent task now is to save your father first and then stabilize the hearts of the people inside and outside the mansion. What's the use of you in a hurry to cause trouble for her now? If you want to deal with her, you can deal with it slowly in the future.

When Huo Lin heard his elder brother's words, he became angry and rushed into the room and pointed at Huo Xian and cursed: You bastard dare to push my mother's mouth. You are just a villain. When is it your turn to be qualified to speak? What does my mother have to deal with? What does it have to do with you?

Huo Xian sneered: My brother Ah, when did you become a little bit better? Everyone knows that things have priority. The most urgent thing now is the safety of your father and the hearts of people inside and outside the mansion. But you always think about showing off your power in a little maid. I don’t know what you will think if your father knows it.

you……

Enough, Lin'er, shut up! Qi Fang glared at Huo Xian and stopped Huo Lin from speaking out loudly

At this time, the servant came to report: Mrs. Qi, the eldest young master, the second young master, the shopkeepers of the 68 stores under the Huo family, the representatives of the merchants, and went to the hall to ask for a meeting.

Qi Fang said: Let's meet them first. After that, he took Huo Lin away.

After the three of them arrived at the hall, the people in the hall saluted them when they saw them. One of them took a step forward and said to the three: Mrs. Qibing, the eldest young master, the second young master, we are all shopkeepers of the Huo family industry. Now the master has an accident. Recently, it is the account settlement period once every three years. Our purpose today is very clear. Now we have no leader and need to elect one person to be the leader to avoid any mistakes.

Qi Fang's heart trembled. She glanced at Huo Xian who was looking straight at the nose and nose, calmed down and said: What you said makes sense. Lin'er, as the legitimate son of the Huo family, should be the head of the family for the time being, do you think so?

At this time, another shopkeeper stood up and said: Madam, this is a bad thing. The second young master has never been in contact with the Huo family's industry. I don't know any of the store transactions, costs and income of the Huo family. If I just rashly make the second young master a temporary leader, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone.

At this time, Huo Lin shouted angrily: Who are you? These industries belong to our Huo family. I am my father's legitimate son. How can I take care of it is my business. What qualifications do you have to say?

As soon as Huo Lin said this, many people frowned and thought to themselves: When has it been this time? The second young master of the Huo family still pretends to be an old man. These shopkeepers are all pillars supporting the Huo family. He is better, he offended people as soon as he opens his mouth. It turns out that he is like a fool.

The shopkeeper also had a bad temper: these are the industries of the Huo family, and they are the foundations passed down by the ancestors of the Huo family. The second young master has never managed them and does not understand the way of business. He rashly takes over, which means he wants to ruin the industries of the ancestors?

You! I killed you. I dare to talk to me like this. I am impatient! As he said that, he wanted to find a handy weapon to smash the shopkeeper.

Qi Fang finally spoke at this time: Enough, Lin'er, is it embarrassing to lose it? Why don't you shut up? Although she stopped Huo Lin, she did not ask Huo Lin to apologize to the shopkeeper. This shows her pampering heart. You must know that even Huo Chengming treats these shopkeepers with courtesy. As a result, the shopkeepers' hearts became colder.

Then, Qi Fang asked: Who should be the leader among you?

The shopkeeper said at this time: The eldest young master, he always helps the master manage all the business and accounts of the store, and is very familiar with the Huo family's industry inside and outside. Moreover, when the master was in charge, the eldest young master was in charge of the store contract in charge of the industry. He was temporarily in charge of the company, so the Huo family's industry was stable and fine for a period of time.

After hearing this, Qi Fang looked at Huo Xian and sneered: Haha, I didn’t expect that Xian’er, who is usually diligent, is so loved by all the shopkeepers. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort.

Huo Xian lowered his head and said lightly: Xian'er dared not, Xian'er shared his father's worries, and just hoped that the Huo family's industry could continue.

Well, you Huo Xian, your father hasn't died yet, so he just started to force the palace so quickly?

Auntie, you misunderstood, Xian'er doesn't mean this

Qi Fang glanced at the audience. She knew that things were not done today. She was not a powerful strong woman, so she had to temporarily agree to the shopkeepers: Well, since the shopkeepers need Huo Xian to be the family temporarily, let him take care of him first. If it is okay, they will all be separated. Today I am very tired and have to go back to take care of the master. I will lose my companion first. After that, I left, while Huo Lin stared at his elder brother and left with his mother. Huo Xian stayed in the hall and continued to talk with the shopkeepers.

With a bang, a ceramic product was smashed to pieces by the furious Huo Lin.

Huo Lin's wife Pan, seeing her husband's angry look, asked: Husband, what happened to make you so angry?

Huo Lin looked at his wife's delicate face and his anger subsided a little. He said: Huo Xian's evil species is really too bullying. He actually dared to join forces with those dog slaves to force me and my mother to make him the temporary leader of the Huo family. I see my father's appearance, even if he is well treated, his body will become weak in the future and he will never be able to lead the family again. At that time, Huo Xian will completely control the real power of the family. Over the years, our relationship has been so bad. One day he will take power. Can we, the housekeeper, have a good life?

After hearing Huo Lin's words, Pan said to him: Husband, you are right, we cannot sit still and wait for death. The people of the Huo family do not support us. We can find someone outside to support us.

Huo Lin frowned and said: Looking for foreign aid? Who are you looking for? Those wealthy families have always dealt with their elder brothers. As long as they remain neutral, I will be grateful. As for those officials, it is the same. They also deal with their elder brothers. I only have to do with their children in their family, and the military. I have never been with them. How can I find support?

Pan said: Husband, have you forgotten? Is there another person?

There is another person? Who?

Didn’t you entertain him last night?

You mean... Huo Lin looked like he suddenly realized, but can this work?

Why can't it work? Think about it, if that prince had wanted to interfere in Luzhou for a long time, this would be a good entry point. Then you will get what you need.

After hearing this, Huo Lin happily kissed Pan's face: Yes, why didn't I expect, Madam, you are really a good wife for your husband. Why didn't you know you were so smart before?

Pan said coquettishly: You used to be able to eat, drink, go for a man and gambling, do you need to think about these things? Have you ever asked me about these things?

That's right, then I'll go to the prince immediately. After that, Huo Lin sorted out his clothes and left outside the mansion.

Seeing her husband leaving, a cold expression appeared in Pan's eyes. She walked to a forest in the mansion and quietly looked at a pond surrounded by the forest. Suddenly, a tall figure came behind her, hugged her slender waist, kissed her jade neck, and asked: Is everything done?

Pan said: Well, it was done. He went to the governor's mansion without any doubt. Do you still remember what you said?

Of course I remember, what I said, don’t worry, with Huo Lin’s ability, what if he gives him some industry?

It’s not that you can just sit down and eat in vain, then you can become my woman just right

Well, just remember, Xianlang At this time, the sunlight was just passing through the woods and shining on the man's face. It was the eldest master of the Huo family, Huo Xian's smiling face

The governor's mansion, I was in the Shui Pavilion while reading the political files of Luzhou City, teasing Chen Yanrong who was sitting beside him serving. At this time, a maid came to report: Huo Lin, the second son of the Huo family, asked for a meeting. I smiled and said to Chen Yanrong: Sister Yanrong, Yu'er has taken the bait.

Chen Yanrong Mèi smiled and said to me: Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness, go and close the Internet bar

Huo Lin, the second son of the Huo family, secretly met with the Prince of Zhongshan. Few people knew what they had talked about, but some people saw that when Huo Lin left, his expression was neither happy nor depressed, but an indescribable look.

In the evening, Zhang Jiuling came to the governor's house for a meal. During this period, I told him about the incident in the head of the Huo family and my plan to take this opportunity to intervene in Luzhou affairs. Zhang Jiuling asked curiously, how could I intervene?

I said to him with a mysterious look: No, no, no, this made him depressed for a night
