Chapter 117 Meeting at the Jin Mansion, a Vicious Plan Is About to Emerge (1/2)
Jin Mansion, the inner council meeting hall, Jin Fenglin, the current leader of the Jin clan, is sitting on the main throne. Under the main throne, standing are all direct descendants of the Jin family, some collateral descendants, and a small number of family heads who are given the surname Jin.
The boss, also called the steward, is the person who manages the entire Jin Mansion for the Jin family.
His status is much higher than that of a first-class steward, because the principal manages the inner palace of Jin Mansion.
Generally, the positions of principals are held by direct members of the Jin family, or by some outstanding collateral members of the Jin family, and only rarely by outsiders with the given surname.
Once such a principal appears, it means that this person is not only outstanding in talent, but also loyal to the Jin family. He is more loyal to the family than the direct descendants of the Jin family.
"Let's talk about what's going on over there at [Sha Tomb Mountain]."
Linjiang County Bojin Fenglin asked.
Perhaps because of his power, this person can make people feel a strong sense of majesty as soon as he opens his mouth.
Even the people below who are of the same race and related by blood do not dare to show any slights.
Therefore, as soon as Jin Fenglin opened his mouth, someone stood up and bowed respectfully to his superior before replying:
"Clan Chief, we used the strategy of luring snakes out of their holes to kill a large number of spies from various forces. Then the spies in Linjiang City were also under our surveillance. Last night we also sent people to clear out all these people. ”
"In this way, our place has become a temporary blind spot for all forces, but this blind spot will not last long. We estimate that it can only last for half a month at most."
"So, we will spend this half month doing our best to dig and explore the tomb of the person in [Sha Tomb Mountain], and strive to find the evil condensing realm technique."
After the person finished speaking, the expression on Jin Fenglin's face did not change at all, and he just nodded slightly.
"Huolin, please tell me how you plan to explore all the tombs of Yufeng Sanren within half a month."
Then, Jin Fenglin looked at a young man in the crowd and asked.
After hearing this, the person who had reported before bowed to Jin Fenglin again, and then retreated into the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Huolin took a step forward and stood in the position of the previous person.
After bowing with the same respect, he began to speak: "I would like to inform my father, my son believes that he should use profit as a lure, turn into a human ant, and use people as his way, so that he can achieve success."
This man is the eldest son of the head of the Jin family and the leader of the younger generation of the Jin family.
If nothing else, he will be the next generation patriarch of the Jin family.
When he spoke, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Obviously, everyone knows that this is a test given by the patriarch to his son.
Only after passing such tests again and again, and gradually gaining the recognition of his father, the patriarch, and other senior Jin family officials, can Jin Huolin secure his position as the patriarch in the future.
Otherwise, his father, the patriarch, might have to consider replacing him with someone else.
This person may be his other sons, or other outstanding male clan members in his direct lineage.
In a family like the Jin family, the patriarch lineage naturally has the most power, but it also has the heaviest responsibility. It is impossible for a person without strength and talent to sit in the position of patriarch.
"Oh, tell me how you use profit as a inducement, turn people into ants, and use people as your way."
There was a hint of interest in Jin Fenglin's majestic tone.
"Okay, Father, that's what the kid thinks."
"Haier is going to bring a large amount of gold, silver, elixirs, martial arts skills and elixirs to the [Sha Tomb Mountain] to stimulate the enthusiasm of the servants in the mansion and let them dig Yufeng Sanren's tomb day and night. "
"After that, after the tomb is excavated, the situation inside is unclear, but it is definitely dangerous. As the pillar of the Jin family, we naturally cannot take risks ourselves. We need these people to continue to use their lives to replace us. Explore the tomb."
"After they are stimulated by a large amount of rewards and explore the entire tomb like ants, we can step on their corpses, enter the tomb, and obtain the Ningsha Realm technique."
"And when the things are obtained, there is no need for the remaining people to exist. After all, although what we do is not a secret, the fewer people know about it, the better."
"As for the things I brought over, they were only used once by them and can be returned to our hands. Although there is some loss, it is completely negligible."
Jin Huolin slowly told his plan bit by bit.
After he finished speaking, other senior members of the Jin family showed admiration.
There is nothing amazing about this plan, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
However, there are no major omissions in the entire plan, and there are no big problems in execution, so that's fine.
As for those people who died in the plan, no one on site would care.
They are just servants of the Jin family. Whether they are servants, stewards, or guards, except for the one named Jin, in their eyes, they are just dogs raised by the Jin family.
Jin Fenglin's majestic face remained expressionless, but after hearing the entire plan, he nodded wider than before.
"I'm sure about your plan. I will send a few experienced old people to help you improve the entire plan later and make it more executable."
"This is your first time to participate in a large-scale family matter. I hope your performance will not disappoint me."
The voice was still majestic, but the expectation in it was also quite obvious.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, father."
Jin Huolin's tone became excited.
He knew that if he could satisfy Jin Fenglin and the senior members of the Jin family, then the position of the head of the Jin family would be a done deal for him.
"Okay, but there is one thing you need to know. Even if it is a dog you raise, it will bite its owner when it is sent to die. What should you do at this time?"
Jin Fenglin raised his hand to stop Jin Huolin who wanted to answer.
"Don't tell me. You will naturally face such a situation at that time. I will watch your performance."
After saying this, Jin Fenglin waved his hand.
Jin Huolin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. After a respectful salute, he retreated into the crowd.
"Jin Fengli, Jin Fengxin, Jin Mu, Jin Mo, the four of you are experienced in handling affairs. In the future, follow the young patriarch and assist him in doing things. Do you understand?"
As Jin Fenglin called out their names one by one, the four walked out of the crowd one by one and stood in front of Jin Fenglin.
When Jin Fenglin finished speaking, the four of them saluted neatly and replied respectfully in unison: "Yes, we will follow the orders of the clan leader."
After that, they retreated into the crowd one by one and stood behind Jin Huolin.
Some of the direct descendants of the Jin family who were of the same generation as Jin Huolin were very jealous and envious.
You know, these four people are not ordinary. Jin Fengli and Jin Fengxin are direct descendants of the Jin family. They have the peak cultivation of the Yunzang realm and are the heads of the Jin Mansion's warehouse and personnel.
One is in charge of the materials of the inner mansion, and the other is in charge of the transfer of personnel in the inner mansion. You can imagine how powerful they are.
Jin Mu, the last generation of the Jin family's side branch, has the first talent for martial arts. He is less than 40 this year, but he has already reached the peak of the Yunzang realm, and he practices the top-level Yunzang skills. His martial arts are also top-level martial arts. He can beat five warriors of the same level.
Jin Fenglin once publicly said that within ten years, Jin Mu would be promoted to Xiantian, and then Jin Mu would be the direct descendant of the Jin family, and should be called Jin Fengmu.
His greatest achievement was when he was performing a mission, fighting one against three, easily killing three enemy masters of Yun Zang realm, without any injury himself.
More importantly, he is currently one of the leaders of the Jin family's martial arts hall.
The martial arts hall is the most powerful violent organization of the Jin family. The members in it are at least at the bone forging realm, and blood exchange and Yun Zang occupy at least one-third of the entire martial arts hall.
As for the last Jin Mo, he is also at the peak of Yun Zang realm. His original name is Silent, his father's surname is Jin, and his grandfather's surname is also Jin.
Counting from him, his great-grandfather's generation has been a servant in the Jin family.
It was not until his grandfather's generation that he was given the surname Jin. When it came to his father, he was also given the surname Jin because of his outstanding performance.
Being given the surname Jin is not hereditary.
So in the Jin Mansion, you can see that some stewards have the surname Jin, but their sons and daughters are given other surnames, which are the surnames of their ancestors.
Of course, for those people, the surname of their ancestors has become a shame. They work harder than anyone else just to be given the surname Jin.
This is even more true for Jin Mo, because his two previous generations were given the surname Jin.
Fortunately, it can be said that God will not let down those who work hard. In the end, due to his outstanding ability and clean family, he was not only given the surname Jin, but also promoted to the head of the inner house.
It can be said that this person has now become the goal and banner of all the servants and stewards of the Jin Mansion.
With these four people to assist Jin Huolin, you can imagine how much power Jin Huolin can mobilize in the Jin Mansion.
After this matter, it is time to discuss some government affairs.
After all, 70% of the positions in the City Lord's Mansion of Linjiang City are held by the Jin Mansion, and the remaining 30% of the positions will be divided among the other four major families.
As for other small and medium-sized forces and ordinary people in Linjiang City, they can only be ruled and have no right to participate in decision-making.
In their eyes, the status of these people is even lower than their own slaves, at least their own slaves are closer to them.
This is also the reason why many slaves of the Jin family like to act arrogantly outside.
If something really happens, the City Lord's Mansion will always favor them as slaves of the Jin Mansion.
During this period, Jin Mu, one of the heads of the Wutang, mentioned that one of his subordinates in the Yunzang realm disappeared while performing a mission, and people from other forces also disappeared with him.
The subordinate he mentioned was Jin Zhi and others who were killed by Li Yan.
Because it involved the life and death of a side branch of the Jin family, Jin Fenglin did not ignore it directly, but issued an order to investigate the matter as soon as possible.
However, they are afraid that they will never find the murderer.
Li Yan's main body was sitting in the newly built basement, sorting out the gains from last night.
Needless to say, [The Five Elements, Five Gods, and Five Organs Nourishing Method] had long been treasured by Li Yan, and he was ready to start practicing this method when he reached the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm and advance to the Organ Nourishing Realm.
Other war gifts included silver bills, broken silver, pills, spiritual medicines, and so on.
Li Yan calculated that the total amount of complete silver bills collected was about 13,000 taels, and many of them were broken or completely soaked by blood and were completely useless.
This made Li Yan feel very sorry.
In addition, Li Yan ate all the ordinary pills with his clone, and now he no longer cared about the proceeds from selling these pills.
Li Yan knew at a glance that several spiritual pills were bought at the [Tianbao Tower] auction. Li Yan didn't need them now, so he hid them and saved them for later use.
After all, even the lowest-grade first-grade inferior elixir requires the Yun Zang realm to use.
The first-grade medium and superior elixir can be used even in the Xiantian realm.
Some poorer Xiantian warriors cannot afford better elixir, so they usually rely on the spiritual energy in these first-grade elixir to assist in their cultivation.
Of course, the elixir used by the warriors who have just entered the Xiantian realm is also first-grade. Only when the cultivation level gradually increases and the effect of the first-grade elixir decreases, will they start to use higher-grade elixir.
Li Yan obtained three spiritual medicines, one of which was broken in the battle, leaving only two intact.
Li Yan still recognizes one first-grade inferior spiritual medicine and one first-grade medium spiritual medicine.
"When I can refine elixir in the future, I will use it to refine elixir."
Li Yan did not plan to sell these two spiritual medicines.
Now, with the power of money, he has consumed nearly five thousand taels of silver worth of medicinal materials in the past half month, and his alchemy level has improved by leaps and bounds.
The success rate of refining bone-forging pills has reached 30%, and the yield rate of each furnace can be maintained at about four pills.
With such a result, even if the refined pills are sold to the pill shop, after earning back the cost of the medicinal materials, each pill can make a profit of three taels of silver.
Now, he has begun to refine blood-exchange pills.
At this stage, the medicinal materials needed are more precious. The cost of refining a furnace of blood-exchange pills has reached nearly twenty taels.
Fortunately, the cost has risen. Li Yan has the treasure of the Jin family, so he doesn't have to worry about lack of silver.
The main reason is that the medicinal material shop has a purchase limit on the medicinal materials for blood-exchange pills. Strangers like Li Yan can only buy ten at a time and once a month.
As a result, Li Yan has to spend more energy to collect these medicinal materials.
It can be imagined that Li Yan may not be able to buy all the medicinal materials needed for the internal organs pills in Linjiang City in the future.
"I wonder if I can take this opportunity to solve this problem."
For the source of medicinal materials, Li Yan thought of a way, but the time is not ripe now.
"Oh, has the Jin Mansion started to reinforce?"
Just as Li Yan was counting the spoils, Li Yan's clone outside the Jin Mansion noticed the unusual number of carriages around the Jin Mansion.
Obviously, the means of transporting personnel in the Jin Mansion are still the same old ones.
"Let's go into the Jin Mansion tonight to find out the truth."
How could Li Yan not be excited when an unattended vault was exposed in front of him.
Few people knew about the emptiness of the outer mansion of the Jin Mansion at this time. Even if they knew, there would probably be no one in Linjiang City who had the courage to attack the Jin Mansion.
At this time, Li Yan's clone on the [Evil Tomb Mountain] began to cut down trees.
Originally, he was going to dig the soil, but Li Yan asked Mai Jia for help.
Although the team system has been disbanded, all personnel are managed and assigned tasks in a unified manner.
However, Li Yan had performed well in Mai Jia's team before and often pleased Mai Jia. Mai Jia thought about it and stepped forward to let Li Yan change his job.
As a manager, he still had some face, so Li Yan successfully became a lumberjack.
He became a lumberjack because there was a quantity requirement for logging. After cutting down a certain number of trees, he could rest freely.
Li Yan planned to complete the task in advance, and then he would have time to observe the actions of the disciples of the Jin family and inquire about their status in the Jin family.
Once the time came, it would be time for Li Yan to take the place of the dead.
In the afternoon, a large group of people arrived at Li Yan's place. Li Yan saw many familiar people among them, including his manager, Hao Huo.
"Manager Hao, why are you here too?"
Li Yan had just completed the target of cutting trees when he saw Hao Huo.
"It turned out to be Li Yan. It's great that you are still alive."
Hao Huo was very happy when he saw Li Yan.
"I heard about it in the mansion. You have to work hard to go up the mountain every day. Many people died. I thought you died too?"
"It's my fault. I didn't find out clearly before reporting your names."
"Why did you ask me to come? I have no choice. Many managers from other mansions came. The firewood room is not an important place. Only the third-class manager with the longest seniority was left. I and another manager were sent here."
"By the way, how is Song Fei? Aren't you with him?"
Hao Huo said a lot of things. Li Yan waited for him to finish before replying with some sadness.
"Song Fei, he's dead."
"How did he die? Was he bitten to death by poisonous insects and wild animals in the mountains?"
"Neither. He was beaten to death by our own people."
"Why?"
"Their captain was a beautiful female steward. Song Fei didn't know that the female steward had been favored by a direct descendant of the Jin family. He even said in front of other people that he would marry this female steward after he became a steward in the future."
"Then, I don't know who was the black-hearted person who reported it to the direct descendant of the Jin family. The person just smiled and said nothing."
"However, Song Fei was not let off because of this. Instead, he was beaten to death in public by a steward who wanted to please the direct descendant of the Jin family."
"And the female steward who Song Fei thought was the steward entered the tent of the direct descendant of the Jin family on the night he died. Many people saw it."
Li Yan's tone revealed a little anger, but in fact, his heart was calm.
If he had the chance in the future, he would avenge Song Fei.
After hearing this, Hao Huo was silent for a while, and finally sighed and muttered: "I told you, he will die from his mouth sooner or later."
Li Yan didn't answer.
