Chapter 211 Follow the Trend
The news of Zhao Yiming's return to Rongcheng immediately reached the ears of all forces, and these forces responded quickly to express their goodwill.
He was accompanying Zhou Xiyao to enjoy the scenery there when Shabo Wu walked in and said, "Wang Jingxiang, the head of the Wang family, and Li Yunsong, the head of the Li family, are here to pay homage to the third young master. Could the young master go out and meet them?"
Zhao Yiming nodded and said, "We are all fellow villagers. It would be nice to go out and meet each other."
Zhou Xiyao said with a smile: "I am also tired along the way. I will take a rest here. You must come back soon."
Zhao Yiming smiled and touched her hair and said, "Okay, I understand, you can rest here for a while first!"
Zhao Yiming came to the hall and saw Zhao Yongming talking there with two people. He coughed lightly and walked in.
Wang Jingxiang and Li Yunsong stood up quickly and said with smiles on their faces: "Why don't you notify Mr. Zhao in advance when he comes back so that we can greet him in the same way?"
Zhao Yiming shook his head and said: "Don't be so polite, you two. After all, you should be considered my uncles. Sit down and talk!"
After the two of them sat down, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Who would have thought that the famous good-for-nothing back then would have grown to this point now. Regardless of his reputation, there was something about him that he couldn't see through. In terms of cultivation, one must reach the peak of Qi Condensation no matter what.
Wang Jingxiang coughed and said: "The third young master is indeed a dragon among men. I heard that he has become a true disciple of Baiyun Valley. This cultivation level will definitely make him stand out among the others."
Zhao Yiming shook his head and said: "Only when we go outside do we realize how narrow our vision is. We are simply looking at the sky from a well. I now have the cultivation level of the seventh level of Huayuan, but I have seen people who are higher than me. There are more than a dozen.”
As soon as they heard that Zhao Yiming was in the seventh level of Huayuan, both of them were surprised. Looking at his age, and then thinking about himself, they felt like they were living their age like a dog.
Li Yunsong said with a smile: "The third young master is really the glory of our Rongcheng. In the history of Rongcheng, there has never been a master of the Huayuan realm."
Zhao Yiming knocked on the table with his hand and said: "My cultivation level doesn't matter. The last time I saw my second brother, he already had the ninth level of Huayuan. He was also very talented and was known as a swordsmanship rare in a thousand years. A prodigy. He has been accepted as a disciple by Elder Cuizhufeng of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and is now named Jian Chenzi."
Li Yunsong said with a smile on his face: "You two brothers are both dragons among men. I think Brother Zhao must be ecstatic to know someone under the spring."
Wang Jingxiang also said: "On the night when the Zhao family was exterminated, the two of us were helpless and failed to come to the rescue. I hope that the third young master will forgive me."
Zhao Yiming waved his hand gently and said, "There is no need to mention this matter again. The two uncles were just here to deliver food to people. Who is the murderer? I already know that they will definitely pay the price sooner or later."
Li Yunsong rolled his eyes and said, "I also have deep doubts about how the Shura Sect could come to such a remote town like ours and do such a thing."
Zhao Yiming was about to continue talking when Shabo walked in again and said: "Our Lord Luo Jianxiang, the governor of Rongcheng, is asking to see him outside the door. Master, let's see if you want to see him."
Zhao Yiming nodded and said, "Then let him come in."
After a while, I saw a friendly man with no official authority at all. He walked in quickly, saluted Zhao Yiming and said, "Luo Jianxiang, the governor of Rongcheng County, pays homage to the prince."
Zhao Yiming waved his hand and said, "Lord Luo, there is no need to be so polite. I am just a charlatan and I don't deserve such a courtesy from you."
Luo Jianxiang said respectfully: "Your Excellency is a prince with a different surname from the royal family. This Rongcheng is the fiefdom granted to the prince, and the lower officials should also be regarded as the prince's subordinates."
Wang Jingxiang and Li Yunsong couldn't help but be shocked. This was the first time they heard of such a thing. They didn't expect that Zhao Hu's joke back then actually came true.
Zhao Yiming glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the faces of the two people. He laughed and said, "Master Luo, please don't say that in the future. My second brother is the head of the Zhao family. If Rongcheng is my fiefdom, how will my second brother handle himself?" .
You may not know who my second brother is. He is the famous Jian Chenzi, a disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect. He will definitely become a giant in the future. "
Luo Jianxiang also had trouble on his face, and said respectfully: "But this is the Holy Majesty's decree. How dare a subordinate disobey it? Disobeying the Imperial decree will result in beheading."
Zhao Yiming said with a smile on his face: "Who said I would disobey the imperial edict? I will officially transfer this fiefdom to the name of the Zhao family. From now on, Rongcheng will be the fiefdom of our entire Zhao family.
However, the Wang and Li families will enjoy privileges in Rongcheng. Unless they do something treacherous and unethical, no one can take advantage of their family's property. "
Wang Jingxiang and Li Yunsong were overjoyed and hurriedly handed over their hands and said, "Thank you, Third Young Master, for your kindness. We are grateful. In the future, we are willing to give 20% of the property income as tax to the Zhao family."
Zhao Yiming said unequivocally: "Then it's up to you, but no matter who took possession of the Zhang family's property, I hope it will be vomited out within three days. Since it is in my fief, That belongs to our Zhao family."
Li Yunsong said with a smile: "The third young master thinks exactly the same as me. I also planned to keep this property for the third young master. We will get one-third of the Zhang family's property in total. It has all been recorded. The third young master can take over at any time." .”
As he spoke, he took out a few account books from the Qiankun bag and handed them directly to Zhao Yongming. He knew that Zhao Yiming didn't bother to deal with this kind of thing.
Wang Jingxiang also said quickly: "I am thinking the same as Mr. Li, except that I am calculating the profits during this period. After the calculation is completed, all will be returned to the third young master."
Zhao Yiming said to Luo Jianxiang: "I heard that all the Zhang family members are in custody. You go back and make arrangements. I want to meet Zhang Wenchang and his chief think tank Tao Wei tomorrow."
Luo Jianxiang said with some embarrassment: "The prince wants to see Zhang Wenchang, of course there is no problem at all, but that Tao Wei, when we arrested him, he drank poison and committed suicide."
Zhao Yiming frowned and said, "Then I can't blame you for this. I will go see Zhang Wenchang tomorrow. You must keep an eye on him tonight. If anything happens again, I will question you."
Luo Jianxiang nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take more precautions."
Zhao Yiming smiled and picked up the tea bowl, and the three people immediately stood up and left knowingly.
Soon it was late at night. Zhao Yiming and Zhou Xiyao were lying quietly outside the prison. He always felt that someone would take the bait.
