In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Patriarch Kong nodded seriously. Even though Zhou didn't want to explain it to him, he knew the problem. His own son's body was the knife used to kill someone, and it must not be lent out to others.
After the Kong family father and son left, Ling Ran found his eldest brother-in-law and they each took a pill of the main medicine.
After breakfast, Zhou Xiang told her teacher about the possible situation and asked her to stabilize the rear for her.
Then, Zhou Xiang took Lu Jing and Lu Ying to the fourth floor, each carrying a bucket of black potion. Kong Qianchen said that the internal energy cleansing procedure would be carried out in the conference room on the fourth floor.
There were quite a few people sitting in the conference room, including old and middle-aged people. The old people all had wrinkles on their faces, and the middle-aged people all had gray hair, and they looked like people with serious illnesses.
Putting down the potion, Zhou Xiang explained how to use it. "Each bucket of potion is mixed with two buckets of warm water. It can soak four people. That means the potency will be gone after eight people. You have to wait two days for the next dose. The potion will be difficult to make."
After saying that, he took Lu Jing and Lu Ying away, ignoring the doubtful, probing and sarcastic looks.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the situation to continue.
Zhou Yan was a little worried and always stayed with his aunt. Zhou wanted to push him towards his father.
"In that pervert's eyes, you're just a piece of fat meat, the trigger for him to improve his pharmaceutical skills. You still dare to run to me, aren't you just causing trouble for me? Even so, you still want to take over the Kong family?"
Zhou Yan quickly pulled his father back to the room. His aunt was right, he should not show up.
Only then did Zhou Niao know what his son had promised. He was very worried. His son was too young and didn't know anything. How could he take over the responsibility of being the head of the Kong family?
There was no way Zhou Yan would listen to his father's advice, even his aunt couldn't persuade him.
Zhou Niao had no choice but to agree temporarily.
At nine o'clock, the elevator door on the eighth floor opened and Kong Keyan came out with an anxious expression on his face.
"Miss Zhou, the old patriarch asked me to invite you to the fourth floor."
"Okay!" Zhou wanted to stand up, and Ling Ran immediately followed. "Lü Jing, Lü Ying, look after the house."
"yes."
"yes."
Lu Jing and Lu Ying responded immediately. The eldest brother and sister-in-law had told them that something big would happen in the next few days, and asked them not to leave the Zhou house at all, and at the same time forbade the children in the family to go out.
Zhou Xiang and Kong Keyan led Zhou Xiang to the fourth-floor conference room. Everyone in the conference room looked indignant. When they saw Zhou Xiang coming, they all started to criticize her.
Zhou Xiang knew what they were talking about, but he pretended not to know and shouted, "Shut up! Who can hear you all talking at the same time?"
Everyone was frightened by her for a moment, but the pause only lasted for a few seconds, and then they started talking about their own things again, which was more lively than a vegetable market.
Zhou Xiang crossed his arms and looked coldly at these so-called cultivators from big families. They were not even as good as the women in the market town!
Patriarch Kong carried his son's body on his back, pushed through the crowd and walked to Zhou Xiang. "Miss Zhou, my son used your potion and immediately bled from all seven orifices and passed out in pain. He's no longer breathing. You need to give me an explanation."
"Yes, you have to give an explanation."
"That's right, the previous patriarch trusted you and used the potion you gave him without hesitation."
"That's right. If you don't give me an explanation, I will not let you leave this meeting room."
Ling Ran looked at the person who said this, who was obviously trying to stir up the emotions of the crowd.
When the man saw Ling Ran looking over, he bared his teeth and grinned at Ling Ran, full of provocation.
Ling Ran turned his gaze back and said to the noisy people, "There is absolutely no problem with our potion. The problem is with you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Patriarch Kong and the previous patriarch about their health."
Patriarch Kong's face was filled with heartache. "Ling Ran, what you said is wrong. When the potion was delivered, you only told me how to use it, but didn't mention any precautions! No matter what condition my son has, you didn't tell me the precautions in advance. You are taking human life lightly. We are calling the police."
"Call the police? Where's the evidence?"
"The potion is still there." Patriarch Kong pointed to the two large bathtubs in the corner of the conference room.
Zhou Xiang walked closer to the tub and took a look at it in a fake manner. "There is absolutely no problem with my potion. I am not afraid if you call the police. This potion is full of various precious medicinal materials.
I wonder if your internal fighting has implicated me! I don't intend to trade with you anymore. I will extinguish those lights one by one."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became nervous. They wanted to remain calm and collected, so could it be that the problem wasn't with her potion?
"Miss Zhou, wait, wait, wait, we have something to discuss. Regardless of whether there is any problem with this potion or the health problems of the former patriarch, let's talk about redeeming the natal lamp first!"
"Yes! Redeem the natal lamp first."
"Yes, we won't survive more than two years without cleansing our internal energy. Miss Zhou, please be kind and return our natal lamp to us! The ransom you asked for is in the hands of the old patriarch."
"Yes! Return our natal lamps first!"
The face of the old patriarch Kong turned ashen. He was chilled by the selfishness of these people. Miss Zhou's idea was right. Only by leaving the military force of the patriarch's lineage could these self-righteous clansmen be intimidated.
Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "The price of gold here is one hundred per gram. The amount of gold bars your previous family head brought is not enough. Only 24 people can redeem their natal lamps. Do you want to compete to determine the number of places? I can provide the venue."
Everyone was stunned. Not enough gold bars?
Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Patriarch Kong quickly redirected it, "Everyone, please report this to the new Patriarch! Ask him to make the decision for us father and son. Also, have him discuss the ransom for the natal lamp with Miss Zhou. We can no longer intervene."
"But will the new owner take care of us?"
Patriarch Kong carried his son on his back as he walked out of the meeting room. "I don't care. Even if you don't notify him, I will. Since he is the patriarch, he must deal with this matter of life and death."
That's right! Didn't the patriarch always handle all the major events personally before? They just came to cleanse their inner strength and redeem their natal lamps, and they didn't leave the Kong family. The new patriarch couldn't just ignore them.
Looking at the group of people who had become stupid through cultivation, Zhou Xiang secretly shook his head. These people couldn't even find the meaning of their own lives.
"Alright, let's go back to the eighth floor and wait for your new head of the family to arrive."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, what Zhou Xiang waited for on the eighth floor was not the new head of the Kong family, but the people's police.
"Zhou Xiang, you have been reported by the Kong family for suspected murder. Please come with us!"
Lawyer Fang asked to see the other party's ID. He found that the other party was from Zhucheng City, so there was no problem with the time difference. He could only comfort his boss.
"Miss Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely find evidence."
Zhou Xiang nodded and comforted everyone in the family, especially the children, who cried and hugged her legs, refusing to let the police take their mother (aunt) (aunt) away.
Zhou Yan was the saddest. His aunt was taken away. Even if she would be released soon, this unexpected disaster was caused by the Kong family.
He couldn't help but hate the people of the Kong family even more.
Zhou Xiang coaxed the child while exchanging glances with Ling Ran. The new head of the family didn't come to communicate with her face to face. It was either because he was afraid of her medicine or because he couldn't leave the capital for the time being.
