Chapter 61 Mutation and Mutation
In the early morning of the next day, the entire Zhou family's mansion became busy immediately, and all the guards of the Zhou family stood firm on their respective posts early on.

And the deacons of the Zhou family who are in charge of the Zhou family's livelihood also gathered in the Zhou family's meeting hall, preparing to participate in the first work report since the beginning of spring.

At the same time, after almost everyone arrived, Xu Xiong followed Zhou Yan's instructions and rushed to the Zhou family's meeting hall together with Zhou Yan's substitute, Zhao Xiucai.

When Xu Xiong and Zhao Xiucai, Zhou Yan's stand-in, entered the conference hall, the conference hall was already full of people.

Except for the head of the family, Zhou Chuanxiong, and the five elders of the Zhou family, almost everyone sat in their respective positions.

"Hmph! She's not small!"

Seeing Xu Xiong and Zhao Xiucai walk into the meeting hall, the second lady couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Zhao Xiucai was just a poor man, how could he have seen such a scene before, even if he was frightened by the second lady, he trembled all over.

Zhao Xiucai, who thought he had revealed his secrets, instantly felt his legs and feet go limp.

Fortunately, Xu Xiong has been closely following Zhao Xiucai, and he helped Zhao Xiucai calmly.

Then, Xu Xiong, who was worried that Zhao Xiucai would lose his words if he said too much, refused to let Zhao Xiucai respond to the second wife's words, even if he coerced Zhao Xiucai to sit in the seat that belonged to Zhou Yan.

"you……"

Feeling deeply that she was being ignored, the second lady stood up from her seat and was ready to scold Zhao Xiucai and Xu Xiong on the spot.

It's a pity that the second lady just spat out a word, and the rest of her words were interrupted by a burst of footsteps, and finally she could only sit back on her seat with a resentful expression.

At the same time, Zhou Chuanxiong, a burly man with a broad face and a heavy face, dressed in a cloud brocade robe, led the chief deacon Zhou Quan and the five elders of the Zhou family across the gate of the meeting hall. came in.

"Today is a big day for all the deacons of my Zhou family to report on their duties, and it is also the time for my Zhou family to reward their meritorious deeds.

Thanks to all the deacons' hard work, my Zhou family was able to flourish and flourish. Zhou would like to thank all the deacons! "

After walking slowly to the edge of the seat in the center of the meeting hall, Zhou Chuanxiong turned around and looked at all the deacons of the Zhou family below, and said loudly.

"The head of the family is serious, these are our responsibilities!"

After Zhou Chuanxiong's words fell, all the deacons of the Zhou family stood up from their seats and said in unison.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down!"

Looking around at the faces of all the deacons of the Zhou family, Zhou Chuanxiong nodded in satisfaction, then sat down on the chair with a big horse, and said to his confidant: "Ah Quan, let's start!"

"Today is the first time that our Zhou family has reported on their duties since the beginning of spring, and it is related to the development of the Zhou family for a whole year in the future.

Now let's invite Deacon Zhao of the Zhou Family Caravan to be the first to give a performance report, right? "

After all the deacons of the Zhou family sat down again, Zhou Quan, the chief deacon of the Zhou family, stood up slowly and said with a smile on his face.

The Zhou family caravan can be regarded as one of the most important livelihoods of the Zhou family. Almost half of the wealth of the Zhou family comes from the Zhou family caravan.

Therefore, every time the Zhou family reports their duties, it starts with the deacon in charge of the caravan, and this time is no exception.

"Thanks to the Patriarch's fancy, then let me, Old Zhao, be the first to attract others!"

As Zhou Quan's voice fell, a middle-aged man with a handsome face stood up with a smile and said.

This middle-aged man is the deacon Zhao of the Zhou family caravan. He was the same deacon who escorted Zhou Yan to the Zhou family mine and was responsible for transporting the refined ore from the Zhou family mine to other places for sale.

At the same time that Deacon Zhao was reporting the business situation of the Zhou family caravan, Xu Xiong, standing behind Zhao Xiucai, slowly put his hands into his sleeves.

Then, without anyone noticing, Xu Xiong secretly uncorked a porcelain bottle in his sleeve.

The elixir contained in that porcelain bottle is exactly the black yin elixir that emits a colorless, odorless, exhausting, delirious, and eventually immobilized smell.

Seeing that he had completed the task assigned by Zhou Yan, Xu Xiong couldn't help exhaling a long breath, and put down more than half of the boulder that had been pressing on his chest.

However, just when Xu Xiong thought everything was ready, a voice suddenly raised his heart to his throat.

"Perhaps some deacons don't know about it yet. The Patriarch sent the Eldest Young Master to our Zhou family's mine for training three months ago. Let the Eldest Young Master tell us about the situation of the mine now!"

Zhou Quan looked at the direction where Zhao Xiucai and Xu Xiong were, and said with a light smile.

Hearing Zhou Quan's voice in his ears, Xu Xiong knew in his heart that the situation was not good.

The Zhou family's mine was not an important business for the Zhou family in the first place, and they were usually the last ones to speak when participating in the work report.

Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong never imagined that Chief Deacon Zhou Quan would play his cards so unreasonably, and asked Zhou Yan to tell the situation of Zhou's mine in the second order.

However, Zhao Xiucai was just a substitute that Zhou Yan was looking for, and he didn't know Zhou Yan's status in the Zhou family, let alone the situation of the Zhou family's mine.

Sure enough, even though Zhou Quan had pointed out that Zhou Yan would be the next report, Zhao Xiucai, who pretended to be calm, was still sitting in Zhou Yan's seat, without any reaction at all.

"Boss, I'm calling you!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiucai remained motionless as if nothing happened, Zhou Chuanxiong, who was sitting upright, slammed the table and scolded loudly.

However, Zhao Xiucai didn't know that Zhou Chuanxiong was calling him, so he still didn't give any response.

"Zhou Yan, what the hell are you doing?!"

Zhou Chuanxiong stood up from his seat abruptly, pointed at Zhao Xiucai and shouted angrily.

It's a pity that Zhao Xiucai, who didn't know it, was still sitting in Zhou Yan's seat, motionless,
"Young master, the Patriarch is calling you!"

Although he was very anxious, Xu Xiong forcibly suppressed it, and saw him leaning over to Zhao Xiucai's ear, and said softly.

I heard Xu Xiong's voice in my ears, it was Zhao Xiucai who was trying to calm down, but Dang even felt a circle of cold sweat on his back, like a thorn on his back.

He looked back at Xu Xiong, and said submissively: "Yes... are you calling me?"

"I asked you to talk back, what do you see others doing?!"

Seeing Zhao Xiucai's behavior, Zhou Chuanxiong raised his hand and threw a teacup beside him even if he felt angry.
