Chapter 349: Zhou Tianque's Calculation
Chen Chen just took advantage of the flash to go down the mountain, and was about to go to Henan Mansion, but found that thick black smoke came out of the top of the direction of Henan Mansion.
Like something on fire, Chen Chen's heart suddenly chuckled, if he guessed correctly, it should be the Zhou family under the black smoke.
The Zhou family is on fire?
Who set the fire?
Chen Chen was anxious, but he could only use it once, and he secretly hated in his heart, why couldn't he directly flash to the Zhou family's position.
But at this time, it was obvious that there was no more complaint, so he had to hurry towards Henan Mansion.
As soon as he walked to the city gate, Chen Chen noticed that something was wrong, when did Henan Mansion have so many troops? The gates of the city are densely packed.
For the sake of prudence, Chen Chen didn't dare to go to the Henan Mansion recklessly, and he saw that those soldiers seemed to be looking for someone with portraits in their hands.
"It's not like you're looking for a child." Watching these officers and soldiers so carefully check everyone who was going to pass through Henan Mansion, Chen Chen muttered.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to step forward at this time, in case the person he was looking for was him.
No one can afford to take this risk.
It's just that what about the Zhou family? Chen Chen's heart was like a fire.
I don't know what the hell was going on with that fire?
From a distance, Chen Chen saw an old man who seemed to have some disadvantage in his legs and feet, and was slowly coming out of the city.
Chen Chen followed for a short distance and appeared behind the old man.
"Uncle, I'll ask you about something." Chen Chen said to the old man.
"Are you ......" The old man recognized Chen Chen at a glance, although he was old and didn't even have very sharp eyes, but he recognized Chen Chen at a glance.
"You are the son-in-law of the Zhou family, hey, the Zhou family is finished." The old man recognized Chen Chen and let out a heavy sigh.
"Uncle, what's going on?" As soon as he heard the old man's words, Chen Chen's heart was even more sure of his thoughts, the fire was probably the Zhou family.
"Today, there are a lot of officers and soldiers in the imperial capital, and as soon as they enter the city, they will arrest the people of the Zhou family, but it is more like they are looking for something, Zhou Yuanwai was arrested by them, but they are still searching in the Zhou family, and a lot of silver has been moved, and now the officers and soldiers have become robbers." The old man said with a sigh.
The Zhou family is much higher than the emperor's position in the hearts of the people of Henan Mansion, whether it is Zhou Xiaoqing or Zhou Tianque before, they are all kind of people who are keen on charity, and often help some poor families in Henan Mansion, such people, how can the people of Henan Mansion not like it.
So now that something has happened to the people of the Zhou family, almost all the people feel sad.
It's just that in the face of officers and soldiers, they are too weak and can do everything.
"You said my father-in-law was arrested?" Chen Chen grasped the key point, and searched the Zhou family vigorously, if he guessed correctly, it should be looking for silver, no wonder Zhou Tianque wanted to transfer all the property of the Zhou family before, saying that the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital were robbers, this is also good, these people are inevitably too bold and reckless, even if they want to find money, they can go to other people's homes to find money, this behavior is indeed a robber.
"Yes, outside of Zhou Yuan, I saw that I was being pressed by several officers and soldiers, saying that I was going to be imprisoned, hey, the Zhou family is over." The old man said with pity.
"Thank you, sir." Chen Chen got the news he wanted, nodded, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, Uncle Zhou, you wait." The old man hurriedly grabbed Chen Chen, and said with an anxious face: "Uncle Zhou, isn't it tantamount to throwing yourself into the net if you go back now?" Those officers and soldiers are searching for you and Miss Zhou all over the city, how can you go back now. ”
"But my father-in-law was arrested, and I want to go back to save him." Chen Chen was pulled by the old man, and when he heard the old man's words, Chen Chen suddenly felt warm in his heart, it seems that Zhou Tianque has done a lot of good things in Henan Mansion, otherwise an old man who doesn't know him at all would care about him so much.
But Chen Chen received the old man's kindness and promised Qin'er that he couldn't help but do it, but now he has at least got some news, and the people arrested by those soldiers are him and Qin'er.
Could it be that the last time I was in the imperial capital, because I was involved in the Zhou family?
Chen Chen suddenly had such a thought in his mind, and when he thought about it, he suddenly felt a deep sense of self-blame.
If it was really because of himself who brought ruin to the Zhou family, I am afraid that he would not have a good time in his life.
Then he will have to go back all the more.
"Hey, Zhou Yuanwai can't be saved, is the prison so easy to break into?" Hearing Chen Chen's words, the old man was sweating profusely.
"Maybe." Although Chen Chen is not completely sure, he is very confident, he has someone who is hanging on his body, besides, Tang Cub must have some way, but I am afraid that he will bleed again.
"No, Zhou Yuanwai is good to us people, I can't let you go out like this." The old man was very stubborn, he couldn't be dismissed by Chen Chen in a few words, and pulled Chen Chen to prevent him from leaving.
Chen Chen looked at the person who fell into his hands, and he was very helpless.
"Uncle, you get up, I'm under a lot of pressure like this." Seeing this old man pulling his feet, Chen Chen felt that he was extremely guilty.
"You are not allowed to go, my little old man can't be saved outside Zhou Yuanwai, but the son-in-law of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuanwai is so good to our people, how can I protect you." The old man said very firmly.
Chen Chen: ......
Didn't he just come to someone to ask about the situation, what's going on now? Got trapped?
It's just that being pulled by this old man, Chen Chen really can't go, so he has to compromise first.
"Uncle, okay, okay, I promise you not to go, okay, you get up." Chen Chen said helplessly, and then pulled the old man to get up.
Who knew that the old man was particularly cautious, he was afraid that Chen Chen would escape, even if he was pulled up by Chen Chen, he still held Chen Chen's hand tightly.
Helpless, Chen Chen had no choice but to follow the old man, but he was thinking about when he could find an opportunity to leave quietly.
"Butler, did I let you pass on the word to Chen Chen and Qin'er?" In the cell, Zhou Tianque and the housekeeper were locked together, and Zhou Tianque looked at the housekeeper and asked.
"Yes." The housekeeper nodded, but asked very puzzledly, "Outside, why don't you let my uncle and young lady know?" ”
It's like they were locked up here today, but Zhou Tianque didn't want Chen Chen and Zhou Xiaoqing to know half a minute, and let him close the stone door.
"Let them die?" Zhou Tianque's voice was a little heavier, looking at the housekeeper, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Actually, you should leave." Zhou Tianque said.
The people of the Zhou family were all driven away by Zhou Tianque, so when this group of officers and soldiers came today, what they saw was an empty shell of the Zhou Mansion, so these officers and soldiers were furious and locked him up.
After all, they had received orders, and if something was not found, their lives would be lost.
"Outside, the old slave has been in the Zhou family for a lifetime, even if he is gone, how long can he live, he is old, since he is going to die, it is better to die earlier, and it is good to see what the king of Hades is like." The butler shook his head and said.
It's not a pity for his life, it's a pity that Zhou Tianque is the one who can't rest assured that Zhou Tianque is, and fortunately, Chen Chen, the uncle, is still good, and he spoils the young lady, otherwise, he will not be willing to die even if he is outside.
"Maybe we won't die." Thinking of Chen Chen, Zhou Tianque smiled, he didn't know why, he always had a feeling that he shouldn't die this time.
The housekeeper is not stupid, and he also has some expectations in his heart when he understands Zhou Tianque's words.
"Is the outsider talking about uncle? But with such a thick stone door, no matter how great the uncle's ability is, the uncle can't open it. Thinking of the thick stone gate, the butler's heart was half cold.
"And we've broken the mechanism."
Thinking of this, the housekeeper couldn't wait to give himself a stick, why did he break the mechanism, if it wasn't broken, maybe Chen Chen could still come to save them.
"Institutions may be a problem for ordinary people, but for Chen Chen, it may not be a problem at all." Zhou Tianque said.
"Outside, what do you mean...... "The butler didn't understand it.
But Zhou Tianque had already closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Next door to Zhou Tianque and Chen Chen's cell, the father-in-law stood there and heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tianque was really cautious, and let Chen Chen and his daughter leave in advance.
Listening to the words of the two people now, it seems that Chen Chen and Zhou Xiaoqing are hiding somewhere, which means that Chen Chen and Miss Zhou didn't leave at all?
Thinking of the emperor's thoughts about Miss Zhou, the father-in-law thought, maybe if he deceived this Miss Zhou, the emperor would be happier, and he could also hit Zhou Tianque even more.
But it's not easy to find out Miss Zhou's family.
But soon, the father-in-law determined his mind, although it is not easy to find people, but compared to the benefits after finding out, it is worth paying some effort.
Zhou Tianque's ears pricked up, and when he heard the footsteps gradually moving away, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "They took the bait." ”
Zhou Tianque said lightly, the underground secret room of the Zhou family believes that it will be found by these people soon.
But he prepared a big gift for them, and I believe this big gift will shock them.
"But outside of the staff, didn't we expose the young lady and the uncle?" The butler said with a worried face.
Although they deliberately asked these people to find the underground secret room of the Zhou family, as he said, the traces of Chen Chen and Zhou Xiaoqing were leaked out.
Zhou Tianque had a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Then they also have to find it." ”
These are for his Zhou family, what purpose, he is naturally clear, but do they think that the Zhou family is a soft persimmon?
Since the emperor has shown no mercy, why does he care about a few lives?
As long as these people are gone, his Zhou family will have to change their name and make a comeback.
"Oh, so I came for nothing." Suddenly, Chen Chen's voice sounded in the prison.
"Uncle?" The butler looked at the visitor in disbelief, and was simply stunned. (To be continued.) )
