Chapter Ninety-Nine: Convergence and Rupture

Looking at the two big characters on the city gate in the distance, the corners of Zhu Chengrui's mouth couldn't help but show a cold smile, because he had already arrived at the destination of this trip-Yuzhang City.

Yes, he did not obey his father's arrangement at all and led his troops to the north to fight Zhou Yukun, but as soon as he left the city, he led two thousand soldiers straight to Yuzhang. A few days ago, he had already discussed everything with Yuan Xinwen, and he wanted to meet in Yuzhang City today.

The thought that he would never have to be restrained by his father and brother again made him feel a pang of joy in his heart. Especially before leaving the city, his actions completely made his brother suffer a big loss, and it also made his father and him a little estranged. I believe that it won't be long before Zhu Chengxiang will be confined by his father and will not be allowed to come out of the city.

But what Zhu Chengrui didn't know was that not long after he left the city, Jianye City had undergone earth-shaking changes, whether it was his brother who was extremely resentful in his heart, or the father who could not be killed, they had all become prisoners at this time. And the new lord of Yizhou has also been replaced by the man he is most jealous of - Zhou Yukun!

Zhu Chengrui, who had all kinds of complicated feelings, led the army straight to Yuzhang City, and after revealing his identity, they were put into the city without the slightest hindrance. But Zhu Chengrui soon discovered a strange phenomenon, because the soldiers who escorted them into the city maintained a kind of hostility towards them.

Soon, Zhu Chengrui was taken to the palace in Yuzhang City.

As soon as he came to the door, Zhu Chengrui felt the strange atmosphere in the room. But he didn't dare to hesitate more, after all, he had given up everything to come here, and even if he wanted to leave at this time, there was no way back.

Walking slowly into the lobby, Zhu Chengrui saw Yuan Xinwen sitting in front of him at a glance. At the foot of the hall stood four men, lined up on either side. He also knows these people, and they can be regarded as Yuan Xinwen's absolute cronies.

Yuan Xinwen looked at Zhu Chengrui who walked in expressionlessly, and said slowly: "You are really bold, you really dare to betray your father and cooperate with me." ”

Zhu Chengrui stared at the beautiful and elegant woman in the distance affectionately, and said softly: "For you, what is it to do these things?" Can't you see how deep my feelings for you are now? ”

Hearing such numbing words, the four men next to him couldn't help but shiver, and almost fell goosebumps. Yuan Xinwen also frowned dissatisfiedly, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I don't know anything?" In the past few days of your absence, I have carefully investigated some of the situation in your family, and I have really asked about a few important things! ”

Zhu Chengrui's face froze, and he said with a smile: "What are you talking about, why don't I know what's the big deal?" ”

Seeing Zhu Chengrui's hard mouth, Yuan Xinwen said with a smile: "Really? Do you want me to tell you about it? I heard that there is a new family member in your family recently, whose name is Zhu Chengxiang, who is your half-brother, am I right? ”

"Well, everyone knows about this, haven't you seen my brother too?"

Yuan Xinwen ignored Zhu Chengrui's rebuttal and continued: "Then can I guess that the reason why you betrayed your father is Zhu Chengxiang?" Originally, as an only child, you can inherit all the family property, but the sudden extra brother is likely to take half of your property for no reason. But if that's the reason, you probably wouldn't have betrayed so decisively. So, your father must have provoked anger in your heart because of something, so he asked you to do these things, right? ”

Zhu Chengrui couldn't help but be shocked, and after a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he was quickly hidden. But he was completely shocked in his heart, because he didn't expect Yuan Xinwen to analyze it so accurately, and even guessed his own psychology completely.

And the fact is just as she said, that Zhu Chengxiang was originally just Zhu Hong's illegitimate son, and he was never put on the surface. But recently, there was a high-ranking official in Zhu Chengxiang's mother's family, and Zhu Hong wanted to connect with this high-ranking official through Zhu Chengxiang's mother. And Zhu Chengrui's mother also died two years ago, so Zhu Hong directly married Zhu Chengxiang's mother.

Of course, none of this is enough to make Zhu Chengrui crazy. What really made him angry was that in order to curry favor with that high-ranking official, Zhu Hong openly stated that Zhu Chengxiang was his first heir. Zhu Chengrui is an extremely smart person, how could he not think of the situation he will face in the future, it will definitely be pressed on his head by Zhu Chengxiang for the rest of his life, and he has no chance to come out at all.

Similarly, Zhu Hong's actions completely made Zhu Chengrui hate him. Zhu Chengrui hated his father's ruthlessness and his father's mercenary nature! Therefore, he secretly united with Yuan Xinwen, defected to his father together, and also took three county towns from him, the purpose of which was only to completely defeat Zhu Hong and Zhu Chengxiang.

Since you can't get things yourself, others can't even think about it!

Seeing that Zhu Chengrui was silent in place and speechless for a long time, Yuan Xinwen said slowly: "However, these are your family's affairs, and they have nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care." However, I can't forgive you for deceiving me! Speaking of this, her tone instantly became angry: "Do you think you can hide it from me for a long time?" You obviously knew that Zhou Yukun was somewhere in Wenqu City, but you didn't tell me at all, and you even dared to frame him in prison! ”

Zhu Chengrui couldn't help but tremble, and said with difficulty: "You, you already know?" ”

Yuan Xinwen's beautiful face was full of anger: "If it weren't for the people from the police station who came to my house and said that Zhou Yukun committed the felony of illegally possessing drugs in Wenqu City, I might have been kept in the dark by you by now." After that, I hurried to the police station in Wenqu City, but I heard that Zhou Yukun had escaped from prison, and a man had voluntarily surrendered and was charged, so that I could find out about you. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Chengrui knew that it would be futile to continue to explain, so he showed a slightly hideous face: "Okay, since you know everything, I won't hide it anymore!" Yes, I hate Zhou Yukun, I have no family with him, but he still has you, and you like him. But what about me, I have nothing, why, why am I not as good as him? ”

Yuan Xinwen reprimanded: "Just because you don't have his persistence!" Although he is not as smart as you, he knows how to work hard, knows how to persevere, and never gives up when encountering difficulties, how can you compare to him! ”

"It's not as good as him...... Hehe, I'm not as good as him......" The hideous expression on Zhu Chengrui's face gradually eased, and he laughed stupidly.

Taking a deep breath slightly, Yuan Xinwen tried to calm down the resentment in her heart, and said to the four men on the side: "Lock him up, and I'll ask him about Zhou Yukun's whereabouts after a while." ”

The four of them answered "yes", and then came to Zhu Chengrui's side, grabbed him and dragged him out. Just as he was about to walk out of the door, Zhu Chengrui slowly came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Yuan Xinwen deeply, and gently took out a note from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

After they left, Yuan Xinwen subconsciously walked to the door and picked up the note. I saw that there were two small characters written on it, and the first paragraph had a few large characters: goods transaction records; The second paragraph has a detailed address.

Yuan Xinwen's heart couldn't help but move: Could it be ...... Could this be a drug transaction record?
