Immortal Martial God

Chapter 21 City Lord's Gift

"Little brother, you have something to say." Xiang Zhonghua said with a strange tone.

Xiang Nan ignored him and turned around to bow to Xiang Zhanxiong. "Grandpa, can little Nan speak a few more words here?" He said respectfully.

Everyone secretly shouted in their hearts, "Hello!"

Xiang Nan straightened out his parents' seats to show his filial piety, and then used the respectful attitude that a clansman should have towards the clan leader to ask for the floor. This was equivalent to slapping the faces of those juniors in disguise.

Those Xiang Nan peers had interrupted without restraint when the elders were talking just now, and they seemed to know very little about the rules.

Xiang Zhanxiong was very pleased. He nodded and said, " little Nan , you can express your opinion. Our Xiang family understands the rules."

Xiang Zhonghua and the others blushed when they heard this.

Thus, Xiang Nan thanked his grandfather first, and then faced everyone with a serious expression.

He swept his gaze over his clansmen and suddenly said, "The Xiang Clan was in trouble earlier. Grandpas and uncles, did you leave the Xiang Clan reluctantly and take away all the property of the Xiang Clan?"

Everyone's faces turned red when they heard this.

The three great clans were led by the Wang Clan. When they were about to annihilate the Xiang Clan, all of them ran away.

Xiang Nan continued, "You all disappeared, leaving us alone to guard the Xiang Clan. Have you ever thought of giving us a gold coin?"

Everyone was still speechless.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Since that's the case, there's no need for little Nan to talk about the feelings of his clansmen. Let's talk about it when we have something to say."

"By escaping from the Xiang manor , you are abandoning the Xiang manor . This entire the Xiang manor belongs to my grandfather and my parents."

"You've taken so many things, but you didn't leave a single one behind. Since you came back today, you want to divide them up? Alright, I'll return half of what you took earlier."

"Grandfather, how many properties did they take with them?"

Everyone was shocked. This … not only did Xiang Nan not give money to his clansmen, he even wanted money from his clansmen?

Xiang Zhanxiong laughed loudly, "At that time, the Xiang Clan was already depressed. Everything was worth about 2.3 million gold coins."

"As for them, they took 2.2 million."

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Since you are a blood-related clansman, then spare change. Master, Third Master, and Fourth Master, if you want to share your family property, you can."

"Hand over one million gold coins. This is exactly half of what you asked for."

The expressions of the various clansmen changed drastically. They all looked at the Great Elder in unison, hoping that the Great Elder would be able to solve this difficult problem.

The Great Elder smiled coldly and said with a gloomy face, "You want a share? Sure, we won't just give you one million gold coins, we'll give you two million and two hundred thousand gold coins!"

"These 2.2 million gold coins will be directly put into the Xiang Clan's treasury, and then we will split it equally!"

What a scheme! At this moment, the Xiang Clan had nearly nine million in cash alone, and with the addition of two million and two hundred thousand in half, they would be able to obtain nearly six million!

A few elders were overjoyed when they heard this, and they thought to themselves, Xiang Nan is still young, after all, and he is not in the mood for it.

Everyone smiled as they looked at Xiang Nan and saw how this brat had bound himself.

Xiang Nan's smile did not diminish. "Alright, that's settled. The Xiang Clan probably only has seven to eight hundred gold coins left, right?"

Xiang Zhanxiong immediately nodded and said, "That's right. Seven to eight hundred gold coins plus 2.2 million gold coins. Let's split it equally. Please hand over one million gold coins, boss, elder three, elder four."

"What nonsense! Do you really think you can deceive us? At this moment, there are millions of gold coins in the Xiang Clan!" The Great Elder said angrily.

"It's 8.6 million, but it's all my money, not the Xiang family's money," Xiang Nan said with his hands behind his back.

The scene suddenly became quiet. That's right, those were all Xiang Nan's "private property money". The clan's branch properties were all divided from the clan treasury, and they weren't directly taken from the younger generation.

The Great Elder suddenly panicked. He pointed at a large number of gifts and said, "Then … then, can we at least split these? These are the things of the Xiang Clan."

"Is that so?" Xiang Nan calmly looked around at the guests and asked, "May I ask everyone, are these gifts for my Xiang family or for me?"

At this time, the guests had already looked at Xiang Nan differently and were very satisfied. Naturally, they would not make things difficult for Xiang Nan.

For a moment, everyone shouted, "Of course it's for little Nan ."

All of the clansmen who had just returned were instantly ashen.

Of course, the reason why they came to the Xiang Clan to present gifts and make friends with each other was because they came for Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan smiled faintly. He extended his right hand and said to the First Elder, "Then, all of you, grandfather and uncle, if you still choose to return to the Xiang Clan, please take out one million gold coins."

"If you refuse to take it out, then pack up your things and go back where you came from!"

"Well said!" Many guests applauded in succession. Although this scene in the Xiang Clan had nothing to do with them, it was relieving to just watch from the side! nove(l)bi(n.)com

The three elders glared at him angrily. They didn't expect that stealing chickens wouldn't erode rice!

"Divide or not?" Xiang Nan's smile gradually turned cold.

Everyone, look at me and look at you. All of them have bitter faces.

They saw that the Xiang Clan was about to rise, and they really wanted to return. At the same time, it was because they were really not doing well outside.

However, if they came back, they would have to pay a million gold coins as a price, which was unacceptable to them.

"Lord City Lord is here!"

Right at this moment, the loud shouts of the city guards suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately after, a burly figure walked in laughing loudly. It was City Lord Hong Zhen.

Everyone on the scene moved aside and hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, City Lord."

Hong Zhen waved his hand and laughed loudly, "Everyone, you're welcome. Today, I'm here to deliver a gift!"

Gift? Even the City Lord came to present gifts?

City Lord Hong Zhen secretly gave Xiang Nan a thumbs up. Obviously, he had heard what Xiang Nan had just said.

Then, Hong Zhen said, "I came here specifically for Xiang Nan alone. As for my gift, it's very simple."

"As long as it's Xiang Nan's words, all the shops that the Xiang Clan opens in Blue Stone City in the next three years will be exempt from tax! Furthermore, they will receive all support policies."

Once these words were spoken, the entire audience erupted into an uproar!

Tax exemption for three years! How much is that?

More importantly, all support policies! With the City Lord's guarantee, the Xiang Clan would be able to reopen their property. That was to say, they would have a smooth journey and be able to ignite their flames in the wind.

While everyone was dumbfounded, the City Lord threw another bomb.

The city lord asked Xiang Nan, " little Nan , the Xiang Clan has already transferred all their shops in order to make a living, right?"

"Indeed," Xiang Nan nodded.

The city lord said, "The new urban area of Bluestone City has just been completed recently. Then I will draw a boundary for the Xiang Clan to use as an industrial area."

"In the first five years, the Xiang Clan didn't spend a penny. They would first use it for five years. After five years, they would return the rent they owed for the first five years, okay?"

If the gift 'in front of the City Lord made everyone envious, then this gift would really make everyone's eyes turn red.

New city! Let's use it for five years first!
