"Father, what's going on with those guards from the City Lord's Mansion? Haha... I feel so good to be surrounded by them!"

As soon as he walked into the study, Lei Meng couldn't help asking. At this time, Lei Meng had already replaced it with a new white cloak. Since he had made a name for himself in the ring, Lei Meng has paid great attention to his appearance.

Unfortunately, Mr. Lei ignored him at all, but turned his head and asked Lei Dong who followed him: "Dong'er, what are you thinking? Why did you suddenly make such an abrupt request?"

Lei Dong shrugged and spread his hands, "Grandpa, no matter what, the city lord finally agreed?"

"You boy..." Old Master Lei smiled and pointed Lei Dong's forehead, "I knew you had many ideas, so talk to grandpa! Otherwise, grandpa would be able to serve his family!"

"Haha..." Lei Dong smiled and did not answer directly, but asked back: "Grandpa, what do you think the Zhang family wants to do the most now?"

"Hey... do you still need to ask? It's too late for them to transfer property now. Apart from that, what they want to do most is to take revenge on our Lei family!" Before Mr. Lei could speak, Lei Meng interrupted first.

"That's right..." Lei Dong nodded, and his face began to become serious. "Since we know that the Zhang family must take revenge, we must not wait for death. Only in the current plan, in addition to dealing with the Lei family's counterattack, we must also protect our Lei family's children!"

"Ah... I understand!" Lei Meng suddenly patted his thigh, "You want to... let the guards of the City Lord's Mansion help our Lei family deal with the Zhang family!"

Lei Dong glanced at Uncle San speechlessly, "Do you think... I really have the right to instruct those city lord's mansion guards?"

"This...hehe...it seems really impossible!" Lei Meng scratched his head awkwardly, sat down obediently, and didn't dare to guess randomly.

Lei Dong cleared his throat and continued, "Since the grudge between us and the Zhang family is destined to be settled, we must take the initiative and must not be led by the Zhang family! I think so. Instead of waiting for the Zhang family to take revenge, we should take the initiative to surround them!"

Seeing Lei Dong say this, Mr. Lei interrupted, "You are right, I think so too! Otherwise, when the Zhang family comes to the door, maybe our Lei family will lose so many good players! If that is true, our Lei family will not only lose its strength, but also may not even be able to protect the ancestral home!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Lei sighed, "But the key to the problem is that our Lei family is already equal to the Zhang family. In this case, even if we take the initiative to surround the Zhang family, we will definitely kill a thousand enemies and lose 800, which is not worth it at all!"

Looking at grandpa, Lei Dong raised his lips and smiled mysteriously: "Who said...we are going to the Zhang family's ancestral home to surround them?"

"Oh...what do you mean this? Could it be..." Old Master Lei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you have a way to let our Lei family kill them outside the city?"

It’s no wonder that Mr. Lei is so excited. If he loses the cover of the Zhang family’s ancestral home, the Lei family can indeed reduce a lot of losses.

Lei Dong nodded and shook his head again: "The place of the siege is indeed outside the city, but the people involved in the siege are not only our Lei family, but also other major forces in the city, and... the government!"

"What?"

When he heard Lei Dong's words, with Mr. Lei's calmness, he couldn't help but feel refreshed and stood up from his seat in shock.

With Mr. Lei's IQ, he could barely understand most of Lei Dong's intentions. In his opinion, as long as he gave up some of the interests of the Zhang family, he could still invite other major forces to siege and kill the Zhang family with his own face.

However, what Mr. Lei never expected was that Lei Dong even had the idea of ​​the government!

This is not a question of whether you dare to think about it, but a bold one!

You know, Mr. Lei has lived for so many years and has never heard of any city family that dares to fight against the government!

That's right, in the face of a giant like the government, even if the Lei family is already the first family in Mingyue City, it is still not enough to see it, very not enough to see it. Because in the eyes of the government, the Lei family is just a slightly larger family.

Mr. Lei was shocked, and the two brothers of the Lei family next to him were even more shocked!

For a moment, only the "tsk tsk" sound of Lei Dong lowering his head to drink tea was left in the study.

After a while, Old Master Lei looked at Lei Dong and asked in disbelief again: "You... you just said, even the government is going to drag it into the water?"

"Puchi..." Lei Dong smiled, "Grandpa, don't you make such a fuss? What's wrong with the government? Isn't the government also composed of cultivators? Perhaps, they usually act very noble, but that doesn't mean they have no desires or demands, otherwise they will not practice! What is cultivation? Isn't cultivation just about greed for immortality and going against the will of heaven? Therefore, the reason why they act noble is not other reasons, but the price given is not enough!"

"Xiaodong, how do you know these things? Could it be... After you become smart, you suddenly understand so much?" Lei Meng asked as if he was looking at a monster.

Lei Dong scratched his head and said blankly: "Why... is this not normal?"

Speechless... Mr. Lei and the other three were completely speechless!

When they encounter Lei Dong, they really don’t know what to say?

It may be inappropriate to say that Lei Dong is a genius! This is not comparable to ordinary geniuses. Is this clearly a monster?

Mr. Lei shook his head and decided not to think about these things first. It is more important to ask Lei Dong's overall plan first.

"Dong'er..." Old Master Lei looked at Lei Dong seriously, "Tell me in detail about grandpa, what is your plan?"

"It's very simple!" Lei Dong put down the teacup in his hand, "In Mingyue City, our Lei family is already the dominant family! As the saying goes, water will overflow. I think that at this sensitive time, our Lei family should take the initiative to give up some of the interests of the Zhang family! In this way, not only will the major forces in the city feel at ease with us, but even the government will lower our guard against us!"

Speaking of this, Lei Dong smiled slightly: "Of course, our Lei family's things are not that easy to get! Whether it is the major forces in the city or the government, if they want to gain the benefits of the Zhang family from us, they must do something! For example... this time the siege of the Zhang family."

"Well..." Mr. Lei nodded, "I agree with what you said. Under the current circumstances, even if we do not care about the ideas of other forces, we will definitely not be able to fully accept the Zhang family's territory by relying on the existing personnel of our Lei family. In this case, instead of letting other forces slowly erode the Zhang family's territory, it is better to give up some of the benefits now and let them take over the relationship between our Lei family. However, I am still a little unsure on the government side. Can you tell me which part of the government wants to give it to the government?"

"No!" Lei shook his head, "To be precise, we are not giving the interests to the government, but to the city lord Zhu Feng! As for which piece to give to Zhu Feng? I thought so, first divide the interests of the Zhang family into three parts. Our Lei family wants the best piece; as for the better piece, let the city lord Zhu Feng; let the remaining pieces be divided by the major forces in the city themselves, and I believe they will divide the good parts themselves!"

Lei Dong said this last sentence quite meaningful. Obviously, he had foreseen the scene of the major forces in the city fighting for the part of the interests of the Zhang family.

However, this has nothing to do with Lei Dong. What Lei Dong needs is to let them cooperate with the Lei family and surround the Zhang family.

Mr. Lei obviously thought of this, but fortunately, he was already somewhat immune to Lei Dong's evil level. He shook his head and smiled. He stopped asking this question, but asked another question of concern: "Dong'er, why do you think that the Zhang family will definitely follow your plan? If the Zhang family does not sneak away, but still chooses to fight our Lei family in the city, what should I do?"

"This situation will not happen!" Lei Dong shook his head with a smile, "You think, if you are the head of the Zhang family, what would you do once you learn that our Lei family has already set up a line with the government? Should you choose to fight to the death, or to retain your vitality in order to make a comeback?"

"Yes! I'm also anxious and confused. How can I figure out such a simple truth?" Old Master Lei nodded with a big smile.

After laughing, Mr. Lei patted Lei Dong's shoulder hard, "You kid thinks about the long term. Through the guards of the city lord's mansion just now, he directly forced the Zhang family to a dead end!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Lei stood up: "No need to delay, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a good time to meet our City Lord!"

"Grandpa..." Lei Dong suddenly reached out and grabbed Mr. Lei, "It's better for me to go to this city lord's mansion. If you go, the goal is too big. Moreover, when you visit the heads of major forces in the city, you must disguise yourself and never let the Zhang family see any clues! Otherwise, once the Zhang family is prepared, there is a very likely fish that will miss the net."

"This... I'm not having any problem with disguising myself, but is it too dangerous for you to go to the city lord's mansion alone?" Mr. Lei hesitated.

Lei Dong smiled and said, "Who said I was going to the City Lord's Mansion alone? Isn't there still the City Lord's Mansion guards follow?"

In fact, Lei Dong asked the city lord Zhu Feng for protection mainly for three purposes.

First, these guards can protect Lei Dong's safety. Lei Dong believes that with these guards, the Zhang family will be brave enough to not dare to do anything to themselves.

Second, with these escorts from the guards, the Zhang family could easily think that the Lei family had already set up a line with the government. In this way, the Zhang family would not have the intention of burning their boats, and thus left according to Lei Dong's plan.

Third, with these guards, Lei Dong not only makes it much more convenient to enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion, but also makes it difficult to arouse others' suspicion.

Mr. Lei was too worried about Lei Dong, so he forgot that he was still in the city lord's mansion. Now that he knew that Lei Dong was in danger, he felt relieved.

...

When Lei Dong found Ma Quan, the captain of the City Lord's Mansion, although Ma Quan was a little confused, he thought that the noble man in the capital valued Lei Dong so much, so he didn't ask anything. Soon, he took a team of escorts Lei Dong to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the study of the city lord's mansion, Zhu Feng was flipping through the official documents. When he heard that Lei Dong was coming, he was a little puzzled, but he still put down the official documents and received Lei Dong in the living room.

"Mr. Zhu, the villain is here to visit. Please forgive me." As soon as we met, Lei Dong sued him first.

Zhu Feng smiled: "Young Master Lei is young and promising. In front of me, you don't have to call yourself a villain."

After Lei Dong sat down, he first said a bunch of unnutritious compliments, and then pretended to be worshipful and asked carefully: "Master Lord, I heard that you are a great master in the Tongyuan Realm of Condensation. Can you tell me that masters like you need to eat every day? Also, do you absorb spirit stones when you practice?"

I have to say that Lei Dong has a talent for acting. At this time, he looked like a young man with a strong desire for knowledge and was very good at learning.

Being a teacher is a common problem for people, especially when teaching a talented boy in person, Zhu Feng is even more contented.

"Mr. Lei..." Zhu Feng stroked the short beards that were not much under his jaw, "Let me tell you, after reaching the innate realm, practitioners still have to eat. However, compared with ordinary people, they have to bear a stronger endurance and can do so within a few days without having to eat."

"Then...what is the spirit stone? Do you cultivate masters like you use spirit stones to practice every day?" Lei Dong asked without missing the opportunity.

"Not bad!" Zhu Feng nodded, "If you want to quickly improve your level of cultivation, the best way is to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone. However, this spirit stone is very expensive! Basically, one hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone. Therefore, under normal circumstances, practitioners under the innate realm rarely use spirit stones. As for me, they basically consume twenty low-grade spirit stones every month."

"Ah... twenty low-grade spirit stones! Wouldn't that cost two thousand taels of gold?" Lei Dong stared at his eyes, looking surprised.

"That's right!" Zhu Feng sighed slightly, "With my current salary, I can't afford to consume so many spirit stones at all. If it weren't for the frequent relief of the elders in my family, I would probably have to slowly advance like other cultivators by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

"Oh... so, the city lord needs money too?" Lei Dong asked with a smile on his face.

Zhu Feng was amused by Lei Dong's words: "Why don't I need money? If I don't have money, what will I do to practice?"

Lei Dong was waiting for this sentence!

"Master Lord..." Lei Dong suddenly lowered his voice, and even his expression became mysterious. "Now there is a chance to get rich. I wonder, do you dare to do it?"

"Uh...what did you say?" Zhu Feng blinked, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"I mean..." Lei Dong's voice became even lower, "Do you dare to do it if you have a chance to make a fortune?"

Now, Zhu Feng finally made sure that he had heard it clearly. He looked at Lei Dong and frowned and said, "Mr. Lei, you are a child, I won't bother with you! Don't say anything like this in the future! As a court official, how can I do those miserable things?"

"Oh... that's a pity! I heard... there are more than a dozen top-notch shops!" Lei shook his head.

"Young Master Lei..." Zhu Feng shook his right hand, "I told you that this official is the imperial court..."

Before Zhu Feng finished speaking, Lei Dong said lightly again: "Oh... By the way, I heard that there are three houses, all of which are exquisitely decorated and have their own servants!"

"Young Master Lei..." Zhu Feng's voice suddenly lowered a lot, his hands were under the table, and he began to rub his body hard, "I told you that I am the imperial court official..."

It seemed like I didn't hear Zhu Feng's words. This time, Lei Dong interrupted him lightly: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. I heard that there is an iron ore! Moreover, it is the kind that produces a relatively large amount of ore!"

Zhu Feng took a deep breath and clenched his fists hard: "Mr. Lei, just say it, what do you want me to do?"

If Lei Dong is really angry, Zhu Feng made the statement clear, he immediately returned to the shy boy.

"Haha..." Lei Dong scratched his head, "Actually, it was my grandfather who asked me to come. He asked me to tell you that the Zhang family wanted to take revenge wildly because they lost the gambling battle."

"Grandpa also said that in order to maintain the stability and prosperity of Mingyue City and to the official voice of the city lord, it is necessary to kill this unstable factor in the bud."

"In addition, grandpa finally said that with the existing power of the Lei family, this group of unstable elements may not be completely eliminated. Therefore, he wanted to ask the city lord for help, hoping that the city lord could send some experts to help the Lei family clear out those unstable elements."

Grandpa said... Grandpa said... Only the genius believed what you, the monster, said!

Now, Zhu Feng finally believed that Lei Dong was definitely a monster! Otherwise, how could he be so clever when accepting bribes?

After secretly whispering thunder in his heart, Zhu Feng began to think about it.
