Chapter 28 Uncle Huang's Background and Ambition

After the Lantern Festival.

Huang Mansion.

Chu Ning reported to Chief Huang that he had broken through to the rank of Martial Master.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue living, but the current Xiafeng Town must have a chief of police to take charge.

Even if Chief Huang supports him, it will cause dissatisfaction among all the police chiefs in the police station.

It is not only for one's own selfish interests, but also to safeguard the overall interests of the "head of police".

The reason is simple. I worked so hard to become a martial artist and become a captain of police, so that I could govern a town. Now a constable is enough. What's the point of my hard work?

Just like the people with connections in the previous life, it is okay to have connections, but there is a prerequisite that everyone has to have something in common and their academic qualifications have to be comparable, otherwise it will incur public outrage.

It’s the same in the minds of these captains of police. It’s okay for Chief Huang to love you, but you have to be a martial artist and a captain of police.

Otherwise, anyone who is the chief can promote constables at will, which will harm the interests of all constables.

Unless Chief Huang is omnipotent, it is obvious that there is a County Magistrate He who is watching Chief Huang and is not on good terms with him.

"Breakthrough to martial artist, not bad."

Huang Zhongtai was not surprised. The Tong Jin Pill was worth a fortune. It took Chu Ning more than a year to become a martial artist after taking the Tong Jin Pill. This speed was not fast.

"Now that you have reached the level of a martial artist, you can become a captain of the police, but I want you to keep it a secret for another six months."

Chu Ning was stunned. Is there such a good thing? "Uncle Huang, I will do whatever you say."

Huang Zhongtai was very satisfied with Chu Ning's attitude. After thinking for a while, he explained, "I won't hide it from you. I don't care about the county magistrate of Daning County. I was born in the Huang family of Qingzhou Prefecture, one of the eight major surnames of the Liang Dynasty."

Qingzhou Prefecture, isn't that the next state? He thought that every year when Uncle Huang returned to the prefecture, he was going back to Raozhou Prefecture, but it turned out to be Qingzhou Prefecture.

"Uncle Huang, you have an extraordinary bearing. You can tell at first glance that you are from a wealthy family."

"You are such a sly guy, you only know how to say nice things. How come I didn't realize that you have this slick side before? Or maybe I was wrong."

Huang Zhongtai had a stern face, but Chu Ning was not afraid. If the superior said this, it meant that he really treated you as his own. Otherwise, if he was really dissatisfied with you, he would never say it out loud.

"Although I am a descendant of the Huang family, I am not the legitimate son. However, the Huang family still selects the head of the family by force. Even the head of the family cannot cover the sky with one hand, because there are elders above him."

Chu Ning understood that Uncle Huang wanted to become the head of the Huang family, but why did Uncle Huang tell him this?

Logically, even if he considers himself as one of his own, I am just a martial artist, there is no reason for him to tell me these things.

Even if you want to make yourself understand that following your uncle Huang will give you a bright future, it will be enough for you to just tell him that you are a member of the Huang family.

"Then County Magistrate He is the confidant of the person in my clan who is competing with me. However, I am not going to touch him for the time being because of the person behind him."

These words made Chu Ning's eyes narrow. The amount of information was quite large.

Uncle Huang wanted to compete for the position of head of the family, but was suppressed and feared by his competitors.

But on the other hand, it also proves that Uncle Huang has the capital to compete for the position of head of the family, otherwise other competitors would not suppress Uncle Huang.

Moreover, he could tell from Uncle Huang's tone that he was probably hiding his incompetence just like himself.

He has been hiding his martial arts skills for half a year, I'm afraid he is planning something.

After leaving the Huang Mansion, Chu Ning went to the school. He had to discuss something with the teacher because Uncle Huang had revealed too much information.

"Lord Chu!"

Several students in the academy greeted Chu Ning excitedly. These students were teenagers from Xiafeng Town. After passing the academy's test, their family elders brought them to visit him.

Chu Ning naturally gave them some encouragement, and finally repeated to the three the contents of the letter that he had written to General Manager Huang.

"Practice martial arts well, I'm waiting for another feast at your house."

Chu Ning smiled and encouraged the three students from Xiafeng Town. According to the custom in Daning County, if a child can pass the school assessment, a banquet will be held, just like those who were admitted to university in their previous lives.

Once you enter the school, even if you can only stay for three months, it means you have started to learn martial arts, and you will always be better than ordinary people.

The one with the bigger fist has more say in the village.

The scope of activities for ordinary people throughout their entire lives is limited to one county, and what they fight for half their lives is just the interests of a few acres of land in the village.

And if he can pass the three-month assessment and continue to stay in the school, his family will hold another banquet, this time on a larger scale.

After leaving the martial arts arena, Chu Ning came to the backyard where the teacher lived. Liu Junshan was making tea and poured him a cup.

"Did your Uncle Huang ask you to temporarily hide your martial arts skills?"

"Teacher, how did you guess that?"

"You just left me and now you're back, that means you have doubts in your heart. You also said you wanted to go to the Huang residence, so the doubts must come from your Uncle Huang."

Chu Ning scratched his head and said, "Teacher, you are really a master of foresight. Nothing can be hidden from you."

After several years of getting along, Liu Junshan got to know his disciple very well. Although he was not extremely smart, he was also a very thoughtful person. The reason why he could not see through Huang Zhongtai's purpose was because his vision had not reached that level.

"Your Uncle Huang is the son of the current Patriarch of the Huang Family and a maid. Because of this birth, your Uncle Huang's status in the Huang Family is not high, but he has a high talent for martial arts."

"Taller than you, teacher?"

Liu Junshan looked at Chu Ning's curious eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "He is slightly weaker than my master."

Through his teacher's narration, Chu Ning learned about Uncle Huang's experience.

Although he was a member of the Huang family, he was born to a maid and was suppressed by the mistress of the Huang family. His status was even lower than that of some of the private slaves of the Huang family.

For this reason, Uncle Huang did not choose to stay in Qingzhou Prefecture controlled by the Huang family, but came to Raozhou Prefecture to which Daning County belonged and entered the school of Raozhou Prefecture. His teacher happened to also enter the school in that year, so the two were classmates.

It took Uncle Huang only three years to break through to the level of a martial artist in the academy, but he did not choose to continue his studies in the academy. Instead, he came to Daning County and became a captain of police, and then worked his way up to the position of chief.

Judging others by himself, Chu Ning was certain that Uncle Huang must be hiding his abilities and became the head of the police on purpose.

"In the second year since your uncle Huang became the head of the police, the eldest son of the Huang family died in an accident. The remaining two sons had average martial arts talents and could not possibly inherit the position of head of the family..."

When Liu Junshan said this, he looked at Chu Ning meaningfully.

"The Huang family's clan rules state that the position of the head of the family is held by the strongest. The head of the Huang family knows that the two legitimate sons cannot suppress the children of the side branches. Only your uncle Huang has this potential, but the mistress of the Huang family is probably unwilling. It is said that your uncle Huang's mother had a difficult delivery after giving birth to him."

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed. What the teacher meant was that Uncle Huang's mother's death might be related to the mistress of the Huang family.

If he were to stand in the perspective of the mistress of the Huang family, she would rather have a branch of the family become the head of the family than let Uncle Huang be the head of the family. If a branch of the family came to power, they would at most replace their positions. If Uncle Huang came to power, he would probably seek revenge.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Did Uncle Huang harbor any desire for revenge?

Chu Ning knew there was one without having to guess, and anyone would have to take revenge.

Not to mention the revenge for his mother's murder, Uncle Huang might not have evidence for this matter, but the Huang family's descendant did not stay in Qingzhou Prefecture, the Huang family's base, but instead ran to Raozhou Prefecture. He must have been persecuted.

"The competition for the future head of the Huang family has reached a fever pitch, and the result will be announced soon."

Liu Junshan's meaningful words made Chu Ning understand that Uncle Huang asked him to hide his martial arts skills for half a year, which might be related to the competition with the head of the Huang family.

Chu Ning frowned. It would not be a good thing for him to be involved in such a fight between heirs of a big family.

"Are you regretting accepting such an Uncle Huang now?"

"I can't say I regret it. If I hadn't had Uncle Huang's favor, I wouldn't be where I am today. At least I would have wasted a few more years. Uncle Huang has done me a favor, and that's a fact that can't be changed."

Chu Ning answered truthfully that he had the elixir of life fruit, and he would still rise in the end, but his life would be difficult in the first few years.

If you are unlucky, you will end up in a desperate situation.

Because the energy release of the longevity fruit obviously depends on one's physical condition, the growth rate of strength will be slow if one's physical condition is poor.

How can you eat enough if you don’t go to school? How can you gain strength if you don’t eat enough?

Even if you do business with the brains and knowledge from your previous life, without a backer, the earnings may not be enough to pay taxes and protection fees.

Before he entered school, he borrowed ten taels of silver from his neighbor. If he had not been admitted, he would have found it difficult to borrow even one tael.

Not to mention that later on, he sent himself medicine in the academy, allowing him to stay in the academy for a full six months, become a constable, and be assigned to Xiafeng Town by the patrol station.

Even if Xiafeng Town doesn't have much money, it's still a town. Without Uncle Huang's care, how could the responsibility fall on a new constable like him?

These are all favors.

"What would you do if your Uncle Huang asked you to help him kill someone?" Liu Junshan asked.

"Kill if you can." Chu Ning answered straightforwardly.

"Don't you care whether the person you want to kill is innocent or not?"

"Uncle Huang is fighting for the position of the head of the Huang family, and he wants to kill those who stand in his way. Since everyone is involved in this circle, there is no such thing as innocent or not."

Chu Ning is not a saint. Even if he were a saint in his previous life, he would not have been able to take the company public.

"Teacher, Uncle Huang didn't ask you to test me, did he?" Chu Ning joked.

"He can't command me, and he doesn't need to test you. Although I don't know your uncle Huang's plan, you should not be in his plan now, and he won't let you kill anyone."

Chu Ning nodded, agreeing with what the teacher said.

My breakthrough to become a martial artist was a very sudden thing. Uncle Huang's layout for the fight for the head of the family must have been planned long in advance. Now that I have become a martial artist, I will not let Uncle Huang change the layout.

If Uncle Huang wants to change the layout just because he has become a martial artist, then the head of the family should not fight for it.

"How much silver do you have on you now?"

"Teacher, do you need money?" Chu Ning was startled, and then he quickly reviewed the silver he had on him in his mind, and said, "I have 500 taels on me, but if we can get together, we can get 1,000 taels."

In the past few years, Chu Ning had collected protection fees and the money he extorted from gang members, totaling over a thousand taels, and most of it was spent on purchasing medicinal herbs for the recipes.

Although his progress is fast, he also spends money like water.

Although he only had 500 taels left, Chu Ning believed that it would not be difficult for him to borrow another 500 taels.

Apart from anything else, Jin Le, Zhang Song and He Jin are all from wealthy families, so if you ask, these three will still lend money.

Liu Junshan was a little surprised that his disciple was quite capable.

"Prepare one thousand taels for a trip to the school in three days."
