The son-in-law of the first wealthy family

Chapter 2614 Zhang Family

Although the matter of the city lord of Yancheng may not have much to do with what he wanted to know, Mu Sheng became a little interested when he thought that the previous city lord was surnamed Gu, and the shopkeeper also said that behind this city lord may be the treasure hunt. For those people, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

"Tell me, you know something."

The shopkeeper nodded, and after careful consideration, he said what he knew.

"The current city lord is Zhang Ming, who is already the seventh city lord of the Zhang family. Speaking of which, the city lord of this family is very regular. Basically, the city lord changes every 1000 years. Now the city lord is in office. It has been more than 900 years, and in a few decades, Shaocheng advocates Kun to take office.

The first Patriarch of this family was named Zhang Long. It is said that he was one of the group of people who came back from the alliance. Supported by Zongmen.

The reason is that they lost too much back then, but they didn't get the so-called strange treasure, so they were not reconciled, and then they took control of Yancheng. It happened once a year ago, and then it never happened again.

With the change of time, the families behind the Zhang family have also undergone many changes, some have completely declined or even disappeared, and a few have developed fairly well.

However, the Zhang family's first family, Zhang Long, was not a member of these families or sects, but a casual cultivator who participated in the alliance at that time. With the passage of so many years, the Zhang family has established a firm foothold in Yancheng and is considered independent. Well, those sects and Zhang family are now in a state where the water in the well does not violate the water in the river.

When I was helping the Zhang family hold a banquet, I overheard a conversation between Zhang Ming and a person, saying that their Zhang family basically had no restrictions on those families and sects that supported them before, except when rare treasures appeared, The Zhang family must inform those who are still outside the family sect, and those people will not intervene in other matters.

So now the Zhang family is equivalent to an independent family, and in addition to being the city lord, the Zhang family also supported several mercenary groups, allowing these mercenary groups to transport things from Yancheng and exchange a lot of things that Yancheng did not have. Yancheng was developed.

Now the people of Yancheng have long recognized the position of the Zhang family's city lord, and most of them have a certain attitude of gratitude towards the Zhang family. "

"You said that the first Patriarch of the Zhang family participated in the search for strange treasures?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me, will the Zhang family have any records about that operation?"

The shopkeeper was immediately stopped by the question, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not sure about this, but I know that the Zhang family has a secret room, but I don't know where this secret room is or how to get in."

"Then how do you know that the Zhang family has a secret room?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It is not a secret that the Zhang family has a secret room. Many people know this, because every head of the Zhang family will stay in the secret room for a month before taking office. The Patriarch of the Zhang Family is only the location of this secret room, and only the Patriarch knows.

As long as the time is not up, the young master will not know where the secret room is, and once a new patriarch appears in the Zhang family, the previous patriarch will basically choose to retreat, and the place of retreat is the secret room, so basically, except Patriarch, no one knows where the secret room is. "

Mu Sheng couldn't help being slightly taken aback. This matter sounds like nothing, but Mu Sheng always felt that something was wrong. Generally speaking, before the successor of a family or sect takes office, there will indeed be a ceremony or some kind of inheritance. , but there will never be a situation where the predecessor disappears.

1000 years is indeed a long time for ordinary people, but it is not very long for cultivators. Basically, if they reach the Dao stage, they can easily live for thousands of years, and even some cultivators who aspire to the top can live for thousands of years .

"Do you know what cultivation the Zhang Family's Patriarchs are?"

"Their cultivation bases are not all the same, but the cultivation bases of each Zhang family's head are almost above the avenue. It is said that the third generation of the Zhang family is the most outstanding. God peak, but even so, when the time comes, he will still step down."

"Then, have the retired patriarchs of the Zhang family appeared in the future?"

The shopkeeper thought for a long time before saying: "It happened, it seems that more than 4000 years ago, someone came to trouble the Zhang family, and seemed to ask the Zhang family to hand over something, but the Zhang family did not agree. After the family refused, they threatened to destroy the Zhang family.

At that time, several previous Patriarchs of the Zhang Family actually appeared, and after this person was seriously injured, these Patriarchs disappeared again. Living things, so generally no one would provoke the Zhang family. "

Mu Sheng squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered the third-party force that Dan Wuhen mentioned. Could it be that this third-party force is this family?But it's also not possible. You must know that a power that can hide the Sacred Alchemy Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines is by no means comparable to a small family.

"Is there anything else to say?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and then remembered some small things.

"I received two messages a few days ago. One is about the monster beasts on the bottom of the sea that have changed recently, and the other is about the brother mercenary group that brought you to Yancheng."

"Mercenary group? What can they do?"

Mu Sheng was not surprised that the shopkeeper knew his whereabouts. After all, he did not hide it. It would be strange if the shopkeeper didn't know.

"It's not a big deal, but Qian Kang, the deputy head of the brother mercenary group, seems to be from another mercenary group, and that mercenary group has been at odds with the brother mercenary group, and the two sides are looking at each other. The kind that is not pleasing to the eye."

Mu Sheng had a little bit of him, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously. When he saw Qian Kang before, he didn't have much affection for this person.

Although Zhang Zhiyong, the head of the brothers' mercenary group, doesn't seem to have a good heart, Mu Sheng believes that a person who can be the head of the group will definitely not be a fool, not to mention that he also gave a reminder, if Zhang Zhiyong can't understand , nor can you blame him.

"What about the monster? How could there be a sudden change?"

"At present, the reason is not clear. It was said by a mercenary group that went to sea to hunt monsters before, so the city lord has ordered all mercenary groups to go to sea tomorrow to find out what happened to the monsters. Something happened."
