In the mountains and forests, the masked man hugged the woman, running like a cheetah.

The woman's last move, although powerful, blocked the invincible in one fell swoop.

However, the loss is so great that she is also very powerful. Now that she has not only almost exhausted her energy, but also has suffered heavy damage to her mind and urgently needs to find a place to rest and rehabilitate.

Suddenly, the masked man's body suddenly stopped.

The woman frowned and scolded, "Don't stop, go quickly."

The red light in the masked man's eyes gradually converged, and a chill suddenly burst out from his eyes full of beastliness.

The woman was shocked. Just as she was about to make a move, the masked man had already lowered his head, bit her neck, and swallowed the poisonous blood on her body.

"ah!"

The woman was shocked and angry, and the remaining left hand suddenly slapped, and a "click" thud hit the masked man's right shoulder.

It’s a pity that after she was seriously injured, her breath weakened, and the power of this palm was less than 30% as high as that of her heyday.

Although the power is still not weak, it only breaks the right shoulder bone of the masked man.

The masked man lowered his right hand softly, but his left hand was still holding the woman in his arms tightly, biting the woman's neck with his mouth, and poisonous blood kept pouring into his mouth.

His face gradually turned into a turquoise color.

The woman raised her palm again and wanted to shoot down the masked man's head, but she had exhausted her energy and was seriously injured. Now she lost a lot of poisonous blood and her palms were exhausted, so she could no longer pose any threat to the masked man.

In the painful struggle, the woman's pupils gradually dissipated, her skin withered and shrunk, and her blood was sucked away by the masked man. In a moment, she seemed to have turned into a mummy

"ah!"

The masked man left the woman's body, whistled to the sky, and a captivating aura soared into the sky.

In a short period of time, his cultivation level actually started from the Gangqi realm and directly entered the Gangqi realm's level of small success.

Moreover, all the injuries on his body were recovered. The light flashed in his eyes, and there was no sign of the medicine puppet with a distraction.

The masked man sneered and looked at the corpse of a woman on the ground and said:

"My good sister, thanks to you, I have achieved today's achievements in such a short time.

However, you really underestimate my determination to avenge my uncle's family. Do you think that killing several helmsmen of the Zhu family can calm my obsession?

Zhu Family, if I cannot uproot you, how can I pay tribute to my uncle Li Qian’s family of thirteen in heaven?”

The curse of the masked man is full of endless resentment. It seems that the water from all over the world cannot be washed away from his grudges with the Zhu family.

...

Although the matter of the city west manor was slightly ups and downs, it did not stop the Zhu family from annexing the Qiu family.

The industries in various parts of the Qiu family around Jiangning City were merged into the Zhu family bit by bit in the next three months.

Although some people stood up to oppose it, there were no more powerful people with the power of the Gangqi realm.

In the face of the overwhelming strength of the Zhu family, all this resistance was pale and powerless, but unfortunately it became a stepping stone for the Zhu family to establish their authority.

In the past three months, three second-rate forces have been wiped out by Gu Xichao, who led the disciples of Zhan Cheng to destroy the family because they obstructed the Zhu family's actions.

The number of casualties is as high as a thousand.

For a moment, corpses were everywhere in Jiangning City and blood flowed into a river.

In Jiangning City's eyes, Gu Xichao and his disciples were like cruel and bloodthirsty demons, almost stopping children from crying at night.

Zhu Yushou has always been in charge of the Zhu Mansion, working with the elders to handle the industries they take over every day, and properly resettle one of them, although it is hard.

I kept watching the family's power expanding day by day in my hands. The feeling of being thin and thin can bring people a sense of satisfaction.

"Honor, you have a cup of tea and take a rest!"

Long'er brewed a pot of tea for Zhu Yushou and placed it in front of Zhu Yushou who was buried in the book.

"Um!"

Zhu Yushou nodded with a smile, put down the pen in his hand, moved his sore shoulders slightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

At this time, Zhu Yuhui, who was in charge of the affairs hall as an honorary elder, stood up and said:

"We have already accepted most of the industries of the Qiu family, but only the leading industries of the Qiu family and the Qiu family winery have not yet accepted them. How should we deal with this matter? Please tell us."

After hearing Zhu Yuhui's words, Zhu Yushou frowned. This Qiu Family winery is the most valuable industry of the Qiu Family, and almost monopolized the wine business in the entire Danling County.

The profit generated every year accounts for almost half of the total income of the Qiu family, so Zhu Yushou naturally refused to let it go easily.

But at this time, the Qiujia Winery was occupied by an emerging force in Jiangning City, the Iron-Free Gate.

This Iron Clothes Gate has never appeared in Jiangning City in the past, and it is not very strong.

The Zhu family wanted to destroy the Iron-Yimen Gate, but it was just a slight effort.

However, the sect leader of the Iron Yi Sect is the son-in-law of the lord of Jiangning City, and the deputy sect leader is the younger brother of Wei Wuji, the general of Jiangning City Patrol Battalion.

Most of the members of the Iron-Free Sect are veterans who have left the patrol camp or the city lord's mansion.

Such a force suddenly emerged and occupied the Qiu Family Winery. Zhu Yushou naturally knew the significance behind this.

The Zhu family unified Jiangning City, which was not a situation that the city lord like to see, not to mention that Zhu Yushou had committed a crime against the city lord for a letter of contract.

Now the city lord has placed his son-in-law at the Qiujia Winery, leaving Zhu Yushou with only two choices.

First, give up the Qiu Family Winery. In this way, the Zhu Family bows to the city lord. Although it can repair the relationship with the city lord to a certain extent, the prestige that has finally been established will be greatly reduced due to the annexation of this time.

The second is to ignore it and forcefully accept the Qiu Family Winery. In this way, although it can bring great benefits, it is also equivalent to a complete breakup with the city lord.

This is not what Zhu Yushou wants to see.

The land of Jiuzhou is so powerful that the imperial court is so powerful, and a local important member like the city lord is equivalent to an extension of the imperial court.

Now the strength Zhu Yushou has mastered may no longer be afraid of fighting with the city lord.

Although the City Lord's Mansion is not strong enough to destroy the Zhu family, they can use various government orders, taxes and other means to prevent the Zhu family's industry from operating normally and making profits.

These secular industries seem to be insignificant, but in fact they are the foundation and lifelines for a sect to exist and continue.

Without them producing a steady stream of yellow and white things, a force would not be able to buy elixirs for disciples to practice and equip their weapons.

Unless you are willing to be a demon, and you can obtain resources by smashing, looting, and killing, you must never abandon these foundations.

As long as Zhu Yushou has not planned to formally rebel, he cannot openly resist.

This is the reason why the people do not fight with officials.

Zhu Yushou sighed and said, "The greeting post I requested to visit the city lord has been sent for several days. Has there no response from the city lord's mansion?"

The foreign affairs elder Zhu Qingzhan stood up and said, "Report to the head of the family, the city lord's mansion seems to be trying to make things difficult for several days. The city lord's mansion only replied that the city lord is busy with official business and will meet you in a few days."

"snort!"

When Zhu Yushou heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he sneered:

"This is clearly an excuse from the old fox of the city lord. If a tiger does not show his power, can he really think I am a sick cat?"

"Master of the family."

Seeing that Zhu Yushou had murderous aura, Zhu Qingzhan was afraid that the head of the family would make some unwise decisions, so he quickly advised:

"The city lord is an important member of the imperial court to govern the local area, but he must not easily tear his face. Otherwise, even if he annexed the Qiu family, his life in Jiangning City will probably not be easy."

"The court?"

Zhu Yushou sneered and said calmly: "Of course I won't be an enemy of the court, but a mere city lord may not represent the court."

"The head of the family thinks twice!"

Zhu Qingzhan said anxiously.

Although the other elders were so angry that they vomited fat in their mouths, they also knew that it was not appropriate to be enemies with the court at this time, and they all came forward to persuade them.

Only the elders who were the first to follow Zhu Yushou, and the elders who were summoned by Zhu Yushou and who were absolutely loyal to Zhu Yushou remained silent.

Zhu Yushou glanced at everyone and said decisively: "You just let go of the winery business. I will deal with all the consequences naturally, so you don't need to worry about it."

Faced with Zhu Yushou's decisiveness, the elders were silent for a moment, and no matter whether they were admiring or not, they finally stood up and bowed to take the order.

That night, Black Wind Mountain.

The Dazhai, which was bombed last time, has been rebuilt and is even more magnificent than in the past.

Zhu Yushou took out a piece of Juan paper from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Wuji, and said with a smile:

"In half a month, Jiangning City's tax and silver will be sent to the county city this year. This is the roadmap that I, the man who was disguised as the city lord's mansion, sneaked into it, and took a look. We must not miss this fortune."

Zhao Wuji was slightly stunned. He opened the Juan paper in his hand and saw that not only the road map was marked, but also the number of people who were sent to him clearly.

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but say in surprise: "Young Master, what do you mean is to rob this tax silver?"

In fact, the robbery of tax silver does not have any psychological pressure for Zao Wuji.

He was just a little surprised. You know, Zhu Yushou has always been unwilling to be enemies with the court.

Although this tax amount is huge, it should not have made Zhu Yushou change his original intention.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's confused eyes, Zhu Yushou then explained what happened today one by one.

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he was furious and said:

"A good city lord, I'm really shameless. Don't worry, my subordinates will let go. As long as the tax silver from the city lord's mansion dares to leave Jiangning City, I guarantee that he won't let him fly."

Zhu Yushou patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder and smiled and said, "Wuji, I am naturally the most at ease when doing things."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "Thank you for your trust, my subordinates will go ahead and make arrangements first."

"Um."

Zhu Yushou nodded, and Zhao Wuji bowed and withdrew from the village.
