Looking at the huge pitch-black crossbow frame that shone with a cold luster in the sun, as well as the thick crossbow arrows that were the thickness of an adult's arm, painted with tung oil, and extremely well maintained, the masters of the He family panicked in their hearts.

Because just by looking at it, you can know that it is not an ordinary octagonal heavy crossbow, but an octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbow that can be infused with true yuan power to control. The reason why it is called the Zhuxian Heavy Crossbow is because its maximum range is as high as 3,000 steps, and within 1,500 steps, it can effectively kill the half-step power of the Nine Heavens of the Sea Realm, and within 300 steps, the half-step power can have no chance to dodge.

The He family is in the northeast urban area of the Central City, within the range of more than 20 octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows on the two city walls in the northeast.

Being targeted by so many horror things, how could the master of the He family not panic?

On the four city walls of the east, west, north and south, a total of one hundred and fifty octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows were erected, of which only twenty-five could cause damage to the He family, and the rest were all out of range. Therefore, although these one hundred and fifty octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows are all aimed at the He family, a discerning person can know at a glance that this is covering the whole city and guarding against other families.

These one hundred and fifty octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows are also showing Qi Wuwei's tough attitude towards the five major families, whoever dares to make trouble will be killed, and those who are not convinced can stand up and try.

In the He family meeting room, the head of the family, He Tongtian's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he slapped the table and roared angrily: "The dog thief Qi Wuwei, knowing that our He family is the weakest of the five major families, just pick our He family first, it's really too deceitful!"

"The head of the family, he doesn't dare to really move the killer!" A middle-aged man sitting on He Tongtian's right hand side sneered, "My He family has a knighthood, showing the grace and power of His Majesty Su Huang, he is just a city lord, and he has no right to determine the life and death of my He family!"

He Tongtian waved his hand irritably, and said, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if he insists on cutting first and then playing, how can you bear him? The knife has already reached our necks, don't talk about these useless things." Old Five, hasn't there been any news from the barracks? Is there any news from the Tang family?"

Lao Wuhe Tongming got up and replied: "As soon as the bell rang last night, the military camp entered a state of complete lockdown, and our people may not be able to find the right time, and there is no news until now. I have commanded men."

"Report!" A shout outside the conference room interrupted He Tongming's words.

He Tongming's expression perked up, and he said happily: "It may be that there is news from the barracks." After saying that, he shouted out the door, "Come in!"

The person outside the door of the "head of the house" pushed the door in, and when he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and cried, and said sadly: "Our people have been executed!"

"What?!" He Tongtian suddenly jumped up from the chair when he heard this, and the chair clattered, and he bounced several steps away, staring at the person kneeling on the ground and shouting, "What did you say?!"

"Our brothers in the barracks were all put to death. General Qiu spared my life to let me bring back the message. ”

Say. He Tongtian's face was bloodless, and he grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, making his body tremble a little. His heart was bleeding, and decades of painstaking management in the barracks turned into nothingness overnight.

"General Qiu said that the He family is digging their own grave!"

"Haha" He Tongtian suddenly laughed miserably, and said miserably: "In vain, we have been like a day for decades, and we have been careful in every way, and we have been working hard like a thief, it turns out"

Speaking of this, He Tongtian only felt that his stomach was full of misery and blocked in one place, his qi and blood were surging, and he opened his mouth to spew out a mouthful of blood arrows, and Yang Tian sighed: "It turns out that they are all making wedding dresses for others!"

Why were decades of painstaking management swept away overnight? There is only one reason, that is, their self-righteous confidential operations are actually clearly visible under people's noses. Why do people pretend to be stupid and don't know? It's just that they're just staring at their money.

Thinking about the money that the family has invested in the barracks in the past few decades, all of them are making wedding dresses for others, and He Tongtian spurted out a mouthful of old blood again.

"Master of the house, take care of your health!"

"I'm fine. He Tongtian waved his hand and continued to ask, "What about the people of the Tang, Yu, Xue, and Ma families?"

"Like us, all of them were executed in public. ”

"Stand down. ”

"Yes. ”

When the man left and closed the door, He Tongtian's expression showed a look of decadence, the uprooting of the business in the barracks was too big a blow to him, and he felt that he had always been firmly grasped by the officials, allowing him to move and leap, using all his might, but never escaped from the palm of the official family from beginning to end. enormous

The frustration made him feel powerless, and he wanted to throw away the burden on him and find a place to hide where no one was.

But He Tongtian knew that now was not the time for him to take the burden, his eyes fell on He Bufan, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Bufan, come with me to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

When He Bufan heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly got up and walked to the ground on the side and knelt down, begging, "Father, I can't." If I go to the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Wuwei will definitely not let me go. Maybe he is sitting at home now, waiting for the child to pass, ready to stage a scene of killing chickens and monkeys? Father, save the child, the child doesn't want to die!"

"For the sake of the He family, you need to make sacrifices, and you should have the courage to sacrifice. He Tongtian said in a condensed voice, "At the moment, Qi Wuwei has only given us two ways to go, either admit defeat and give in, or stubbornly resist? ”

"Ask the Tang family for help, the Tang family has the Star Ancestor in charge, our five major families are in the same breath, and the Tang family will definitely not sit idly by. He Bufan said as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"Hehe" He Tongtian sneered, "Don't you understand? It's not that Qi Wuwei wants to deal with us, but the official family wants to deal with us, to put it bluntly, it's fattening, it's time to slaughter." Hehe, the old man finally understood. ”

He Tongtian suddenly made a sudden appearance, slapped the table and shouted: "The old man finally understands why the official family has not released grain for disaster relief, it is because every city has a fat sheep like us, as long as a knife is slaughtered at a critical moment, the entire southern border can breathe a sigh of relief." In those days, Emperor Su relied on plundering the property of wealthy families to help them lay down the country and sit on the country, and when he tasted the sweetness, how could he easily stop? So he raised a batch of them himself, which was convenient for supervision and slaughter, so why not do it? Whether this knife is light or heavy depends on whether the fat sheep are worthy of cooperation. ”

Saying that, his eyes sank suddenly, and he looked at He Bufan and said, "Bufan, do you want me to carry your head to the City Lord's Mansion? Or do you put a thorn on your back and go to the City Lord's Mansion with me? ”

"I'll go!" He Bufan had no choice, because he knew that in the face of the survival of the family, his life was not worth mentioning, if he resolutely did not go, He Tongtian would definitely not miss the love of father and son, and he would mention his head if he said that he would mention his head.

......

Tang family, a secluded courtyard, the head of the family, Tang Yongning, waited respectfully in front of the door of a room, waiting for the instructions of the ancestor of the Tang family in the room.

"Back then, I didn't let you put your hands into the army, let you develop your family honestly and dutifully, accumulate wealth, enrich your family heritage, and move forward steadily step by step, but you didn't listen, always thinking that you could cover the sky with one hand and control the thunder and lightning, so arrogant that you didn't know what your surname was. Now, the bamboo basket is empty, but it has slowed down the pace of family development. Tang Jiucai said in the room without emotion.

"Yongning knows his mistake, please punish the ancestor. Tang Yongning bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"You are indeed at fault, and you should be punished. Tang Jiucai said, "After dealing with this matter, you will step down from the position of the head of the family and hand over the position of the head of the family to Tang Yongjing." ”

Tang Yongning's face turned pale instantly, but he didn't dare to question it.

"After you have explained everything, you will go to the army to report. Tang Jiucai said, "The old man will say hello to that side." ”

Tang Yongning's pale face instantly regained his brilliance, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he secretly wondered in his heart what the purpose of the ancestor's arrangement was.

But listening to Tang Jiucai's tone, he sank, and said: "Put away your scheming thoughts, the old man let you go to the experience, it is a simple experience, and there is no other meaning." If you let the old man know that you dare to form a gang and form a faction in the barracks, the old man will personally kill you. Don't you feel depressed when you are a good man, who is nestled in this small square earthen wall all day long, and who makes a living by intrigue? Go out for a walk and see the world. ”

"Obey the Ancestor's decree!" Tang Yongning replied respectfully, listening to his ancestor compare the huge wild goose city to a square earthen wall, he suddenly had a strange emotion in his heart, and he couldn't wait to get out of this square earth wall.

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion and say to Qi Wuwei that the Tang family will always be the most loyal warrior of the empire, and what the imperial sword refers to is where our glory lies. Go ahead. Let Tang Yongjing come to see me. Tang Jiucai said.

"Yes. Yongning retired. Tang Yongning gave a salute and retired. When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Tang Jiucai say: "By the way, remind the other four families, let them all chop off their outstretched hands, feet and tails." Don't just think about eating the exploits of your ancestors and forget

The glory of our ancestors. The glory of our ancestors is not to be defiled!"

"Yes!"

......

In a dark and dilapidated hut in the South Ten Cities, a woman with a pale face as pale as paper was lying on a wooden bed with cloudy eyes, her breathing gradually weakening, and her vision and hearing were rapidly weakening.

She could clearly feel her life force draining rapidly.

The woman's hand was grasping hard, but she had no strength, and after a few scratches, she only moved her fingers.

Suddenly, a rough and powerful hand grabbed her hand, clutching it tightly, unwilling to let go. Then another slightly soft hand came up, with a small, tender hand.

The woman's heart was quiet.

She knew it was the hands of her son, daughter-in-law and good grandson, and they were holding her and didn't want her to go. Two lines of cloudy tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she didn't want to leave, because she had just turned forty, and she was not old enough to enter the coffin.

But God doesn't have long eyes, but he wants to send a curse and take her life. Maybe God is also a master who eats soft and fears hard, otherwise why didn't he take the lives of those bad people, but he wanted to take the life of her, a good person?

......

In Beijiu City, at the entrance of the Tongfu Medical Center, there was a young man lying on the cold ground, and a pool of red blood gathered under his body, which flowed from several deep wounds on his body.

He just saved a girl from a good family who was targeted by traffickers, but he was stabbed several times by the vicious traffickers. He was carried to the door of the infirmary by several well-wishers, and after the doctor consulted him, he shook his head and sighed, saying that he was unable to save himself.

His consciousness was blurring, and he knew he was going to die. Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, he didn't want to die, because there was still a sick old lady to take care of at home.

......

Every day and every moment in this world, there are good people dying.

Some of them are dying, but some of them are dying by natural disasters**, they are unwilling to die, they only hope that the sky has eyes and saves him.

......

Listening to the streets around Yaxuan, there are more and more people complaining about Li Haoran, no one knows why they are so angry, maybe it is for the "justice" in their hearts, right?

"Dude, what's going on? Why are so many people crammed here?"

"There are a few ostentatious outsiders who bully us Yancheng people, and they also set up a conspiracy trap with the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion to deceive people's ancestral treasures. The young man who was deceived was named Li Haoran, a little genius of the Li family, because he trusted the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion too much, so he was accidentally deceived. ”

"Don't you know, Li Haoran is really good, he is unwilling to be humiliated, and he raised his sword to kill himself in front of Tingyaxuan. He held his sword in both hands, and died without falling. And he was furious, and he did not close his eyes. The lad died too tragically, and we must get justice for him. ”

"Li Haoran is dead?" asked Niu Dawa with wide eyes.

"My throat is cut off, can I not die?"

"Dead at the door of Tingyaxuan?"

"Yes. I'm still listening to Yaxuan's doorway. The head of the Li family personally brought someone here to seek justice for his son. ”

"You are all here to seek justice for Li Haoran?"

"yes, what's wrong? Those damned outlanders must be brought to justice. Who are you? Doesn't your accent sound like ours from Yancheng?"

"I'm a big cow. ”

"I don't know. ”

"It's what you call a flamboyant and domineering foreigner. Niu Dawa introduced himself with a smile, but his eyes flashed with anger.

The man listened to Niu Dawa's self-introduction, was stunned for a moment, then immediately snorted, took several steps back and distanced himself from Niu Dawa, and then pointed at Niu Dawa and opened his throat and roared: "The stranger is here! The murderer who forced Li Haoran to death is here! Look, he, they are the murderer!"

When he yelled at him, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and the eyes of thousands of people looked at him in unison.

"Hehe, that's funny. Tianwu Daoist smiled, but there was no emotion in his laughter. After speaking, he walked forward, and the crowd in front of him was all pushed away by a brutal force, and the crowded crowd suddenly turned on their backs.

Zhang Xiaozhu and the three of them followed behind the Tianwu Dao people with cold faces, and they were going to ask the head of the Li family how they planned to seek justice for Li Haoran.
