When a person has no intention of rebelling, perhaps he is just a second-generation guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but when he wants to do something, I am afraid no one else can think of it.
On the way up the mountain, Meng Chuan was calculating the group of people who followed him. Nine of them were all his father's confidants. If he wanted to control them, he had to control their families first.
Meng Chuan walked at the end of the team and called over the four masters, as well as two of his own men. He told them that within an incense stick of time, these men disappeared from the team in an instant.
He asked two of his men to take the four masters back to the stronghold first, control the families of his father's confidants as quickly as possible, and then bring back something that belonged to the family members. If these people were willing to obey, then they could be spared, but if they didn't even care about their family members, then all of you would die.
Although everyone lives around the mountain stronghold, the distribution area is still very wide. Mengchuan has a high chance of success in doing this. His father is unlikely to care about the lives of his subordinates' families. At most, he will send someone to deliver some things during the New Year and other festivals. This is already a pretty good chieftain.
"Second Young Master, what are those cars behind us carrying? I see they've been following us for quite some time. Are they registered as well?"
The old butler has been with his father all his life. It is said that he has been serving this family since the time of his grandfather. He is also the best at accounting, so every time when goods are transported up from the foot of the mountain, the old butler has to count the things clearly. This time, there are suddenly several more cars, and the second young master does not allow them to touch them. There were many people around just now, so the old butler did not dare to lose face in front of the second young master.
There weren't many people around now, so the old housekeeper had to ask more. If the second young master asked for an inventory, that would be great. But if the second young master didn't want to, he would have to report the situation here truthfully. What exactly was in these carriages? The chieftain was very interested to know, as this was the second young master's first time going down the mountain to do this.
Before leaving, the chieftain had explained that every such mission was very lucrative and had always been pocketed by the eldest son. The old housekeeper had also reported this. The chieftain felt that the eldest son was old and should have some money, otherwise how could he bribe those people?
But when the second young master came to power, the chieftain had also made special instructions, not to let this youngest son get any benefits. All the tasks in the city were done by the chieftain's people, and Mengchuan was purely a decoration. But these cars...
"These are some things my father-in-law gave to my wife and me. Some are for the children. Do we need to check these too?"
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Meng Chuan's inner thoughts of rebellion were about to explode. If Big Brother were here, would you have the guts to ask what was in those cars? If you had the guts to ask, I guess you would have been whipped in the face by now. He doesn't care when you served this family.
Hearing what the second young master said, the old housekeeper was also very good at dealing with people. He nodded without saying anything. After returning, he answered the chieftain honestly and waited for the chieftain to come and check it personally. He couldn't do too much about it. After all, it was something sent from the young lady's house, and the housekeeper couldn't interfere in it.
"Rest here today and leave tomorrow morning."
Meng Chuan looked at the sky. In the past, when he received goods, most of them were transported overnight and he would never rest in between. Although this was already the territory of the chieftains, these things were priceless. If any problems arose, the entire village might be shaken.
"Second Young Master, our old rules..."
The old butler felt that this matter was inappropriate, but when he saw the wolf-like eyes of the second young master, he could only swallow the rest of his words. The second young master was different today, especially when he looked at him. He didn't feel anything before, but why did he feel cold all over today?
Seeing that the old butler was silent, the others naturally did not say anything either. The eldest young master has his own rules, and the second young master has his own rules. Besides, the eldest young master also had time to rest at night after transporting goods at that time, so we didn't dare to say anything.
Now that the Second Young Master wants to rest, let's just rest. Why do we have to go against him? Although the chieftain doesn't like him, he is still the Second Young Master of the mountain stronghold. If he draws his sword and kills you now, you may lose your life. After you go back, the chieftain will at most scold you. Can he really beat his son for the life of a dog slave like you?
Meng Chuan wants to rest here for one night and delay his return. He still has too few people at hand. If he wants to control the families of the people around him, he will need at least one night. Those people are traveling light, so they will arrive at the stronghold in the late night. He has to give them half the night to do the work. By tomorrow night, he will probably have got what he needs.
The next morning at dawn, the old housekeeper wanted to tell everyone to get on the road quickly, but he heard snoring coming from the second young master's tent. If he went over to wake the second young master up at this time, it would really disturb his sleep.
Thinking of the second young master's fatal look yesterday, the old housekeeper could only ask everyone to hurry up and cook, so that it would be better to set off after eating. Unfortunately, after they finished breakfast, the second young master still had no intention of getting up. After waiting for about half an hour, the second young master finally got up from the tent cursing.
Washing face and eating took another incense stick of time.
By the time they were back on the road, it was already half a day later than the originally scheduled time. If they had walked a little slower, they would have been able to meet the people who were sent back by noon. The second young master was a little worried at this time.
The people around my father are not ordinary people, and they all have status in the mountains. If the people my father-in-law gave him were not so powerful, if they were found out, they might have reported it to my father by now. But as long as they are powerful enough, they will have arrested the children who should be arrested. The children are the lives of these people. Do you still worry that you won’t be able to be controlled by then?
