The eldest young master Meng Kang has been in a bad mood recently. In addition to the troops at the foot of the mountain, his second brother is aggressive and his damn father-in-law always makes trouble for him and wants to hand over the transaction matters at the foot of the mountain to his second brother.
Although his father had said that he could go next time, this was still an infringement of his rights, so Meng Kang had been thinking about how to deal with his second brother these days. Unfortunately, this kid was very careful in doing things, and he couldn't find an excuse to deal with him.
In addition, with the army advancing from the foot of the mountain in recent days, it is indeed not suitable to cause trouble internally, so Meng Kang just drinks alone in his big house. When he drinks too much, he starts to vent his anger by beating his subordinates. These subordinates have long been dissatisfied, but what can they do about it, he is the future chieftain.
"Your Excellency, Young Master..."
Just as this guy was drinking, the manager at the door suddenly came in.
The second brother is here? What's this guy doing here? He usually avoids me, so why is he here today? And the relationship between us is not good, is he looking for a fight?
"What is he doing here? Let him stand at the door."
Meng Kang looked at the sun outside. "Haven't you been very arrogant lately? You don't even take me, your brother, seriously. Then you should go out and bask in the sun for a while and get all the oil off your body."
"The Second Young Master brought the goshawk you like. It's right at the door."
The servant thought of the silver ingot in his pocket. It turned out that when the second young master saw him, he didn't scold him harshly, just because he was the eldest young master's man. But this time, he actually gave him a five-liang silver ingot, which was rare.
Goshawk?
If you want to talk about other things, Meng Kang is not interested, because Meng Kang has been the prince of the mountain village since he was a child, so he is not interested in anything, but the second brother's goshawk is different.
In many competitions, the second brother's goshawk always won first place, so Meng Kang had said many times that he was interested in this goshawk, but unfortunately, the second brother seemed to be blind to the truth and got away with it every time. This made Meng Kang feel very uncomfortable. He had always wanted to get this goshawk, and now it was given to him?
"Has he drunk himself to death? Why would he give me this?"
Meng Kang said with some surprise that he had hinted at it many times before, but the second brother was like a piece of wood, and even if he understood, he pretended not to understand.
"The situation on and off the mountain has changed drastically recently. Plus, he's being used as a pawn by his father-in-law. He might be thinking now that he'll have to follow you in the end. If he's provoked by his father-in-law, can he protect him?"
One of the counselors below thought for a while and said that when talking about Zhang Jiuli, Meng Kang was very angry. This guy made him lose his job just by going up the mountain once, and embarrassed him in front of everyone. If he became a chieftain, he would have to kill this guy.
"This kid is quite sensible. For the sake of our brotherhood, I can spare his life. But if there is only this hawk, it won't work."
Evil thoughts flashed in Meng Kang's eyes. He had been thinking about his brother's things for a long time. He had pretended to be confused before, but now he finally stopped pretending to be confused. But do you think this hawk can get through?
"That's all just a matter of your words."
Meng Kang felt very comfortable with the flattery of his subordinates, and quickly asked his subordinates to call him in.
Except for one follower, Meng Chuan did not bring anyone in. This was similar to the previous rules, so no one present had any doubts. But if you look closely, you can see that this follower is different, at least he has never appeared before. Although he is wearing mountain clothes, they seem a little small.
"Brother, you haven't been out lately. Are you feeling down? As your younger brother, I don't have anything to give you. I heard that you like my eagle, so I brought it to you. I also have some small things I got when I went down the mountain this time. I'm giving them to you as well."
Before Meng Kang could speak, Meng Chuan had people send up one box after another. All of these were used to bribe other people in the village. However, Meng Chuan also thought clearly that bribing other people was useless, as they might not stand on his side in the end. So he might as well take them out now to attract the boss. As long as he could get down from his seat, then the matter would be 80% done.
What Meng Kang liked most was Lao Er’s eagle, but after seeing these big boxes, Meng Kang’s heart was pounding. He had presided over so many transactions, but it seemed that he had never accumulated so much money. This kid only went down once and got so much money?
Meng Kang's psychological boundaries are gone at this moment. He originally wanted one dollar, but now people give him five dollars, and he can choose whatever he wants. This is much better than before. How can there be any boundaries in his heart?
"You're quite sensible, kid. We are brothers after all. What outsiders say can't affect our relationship. Our uncles all died because they believed the rumors. If you were to be my brother, I would still carry you all over the mountains like when we were little..."
Looking at his younger brother's big head, Meng Kang felt a rare sense of brotherhood. Thinking back to the days when the two brothers were young, it was indeed very good. It would have been better if they had never known anything. At least everyone lived comfortably at that time.
Seeing Meng Kang leave his seat and walk to the middle of the box, Meng Chuan immediately realized that his opportunity had come...
"Zhang Jiuli is really biased. You've gained more this time than I have ten times. When I become a chieftain, I will definitely take this old guy away..."
Meng Kang hadn't finished speaking when he felt a knife in his back. Just as he was about to turn around, the knife suddenly slid out from the left side and cut his body in half.
Blood spurted out directly, and some of it sprayed onto Meng Kang's face. The guy opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
"You killed the young master..."
The guards in the room reacted, and when they were about to move forward, the guards that Meng Chuan had brought with him took action. This man was highly skilled in martial arts, and although he was outnumbered, he was not at all at a disadvantage. There were also a lot of footsteps outside, which showed that Meng Chuan had set an ambush. This incident was not accidental, but premeditated. Brother killing brother, chaos begins...
