Zhou Yong lay on the ground, trembling all over, like a dead dog, terrified!

After Qi Linyuan was silent for a while, he coughed violently several times, and said in a deep voice:

"Take Zhou Yong down, put him on death row, and hand him over to the Secret Governor for interrogation, and he will definitely dig out his comrades.

In addition, blockade the Zhou Mansion, arrest all the Zhou clan members and subordinates, take them all, and put them in prison.

All Zhou's properties were banned, and his family property was investigated, and the matter was handed over to Bachelor Chen.

Then the decree was drafted, and 800 li was urgently transmitted to the governor of Dingrong Mansion in the Jin State, so that he could capture Zhou Yong's eldest son and the general Zhou Yuquan. ”

King Jin's words fell, and immediately several internal guards entered the main hall, dragged Zhou Yong away, and put him on death row.

The officials at the scene couldn't help but hold their breath and didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of implicating themselves.

"Your Majesty, you should leave the matter of raiding the house to someone else, I can't do it!" Chen Lingxiao stood up in line and arched his hand.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Chen Lingxiao with a foolish expression.

The chief officer of the house, that is a fat shortage, and if you leak a little bit from your fingers, you can make a lot of money.

This is already an unwritten unspoken rule, and King Jin also acquiesces to it.

Doing so can be regarded as a disguised reward for those who have made meritorious contributions.

The water is clear and there are no fish, and there are no people to observe.

Qi Linyuan understands this truth better than anyone else.

Of course, the amount of money leaked should not be too much, and it should never exceed 20%.

Everyone rushed to want this fat shortage, but they didn't expect Chen Shizi to refuse.

All the officials were puzzled.

Qi Linyuan said: "Since you don't do it, then the widow will arrange someone!"

He originally wanted to reward Chen Lingxiao for finding out Zhou Yong's merits.

Now, you can only give another reward to the other party.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success!" Chen Lingxiao said.

He didn't take this errand, he had his own plans.

......

A Yulin army swept away the Zhou Mansion and blocked the water surrounding the Zhou Mansion.

Soon, hundreds of Zhoufu people, servants, and family members were escorted out.

In a small courtyard opposite the Zhou Mansion, a middle-aged man on the second floor saw the scene that happened in the Zhou Mansion, his brows furrowed, his face showed panic, and he muttered to himself:

"Something happened to Zhou Shangshu's family, I must pass this news to the eldest prince as soon as possible, otherwise the Zhou family's vein will be broken!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man immediately went downstairs, rode on a fast horse, rode away, and hurried to Dingrong Mansion.

Zhou Yong can also be regarded as a scheming master, and he also arranged people opposite the Zhou Mansion.

However, when he met Chen Lingxiao's nemesis, all his efforts were doomed to be in vain.

At this moment, the father-in-law also came out of the palace of King Jin and went straight to Dingrong Mansion with a whip.

......

Chen Lingxiao retired from the dynasty and returned to the house at No. 99 Zhuque Street.

Jia Xu immediately greeted him and said, "Lord, how are things going?"

"The Zhou Mansion has fallen apart!" said Chen Lingxiao, grinning.

Jia Xu's eyes were shining, and he looked at Chen Lingxiao and said, "Lord, the big tree has been cut down, and it is time for us to reap the fruits of victory!"

Chen Lingxiao nodded and said, "I hope Rengui will not let me down!"

"Lord, where did you send Xue Rengui, I still want to learn martial arts from him!" Dian Wei walked over and asked.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Lingxiao's mouth: "Rengui has gone on a secret mission, and when he returns from completing the mission, you can learn again!"

It's night, the champion building, the number of private rooms.

Chen Lingxiao came here and sat at the same table with the third prince.

Qi Chao picked up his wine glass and said, "Master Chen, I respect you for a glass!"

"Don't dare!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Lingxiao's mouth, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince toasts, I really don't dare to drink it, and I am tormented." ”

"This prince admires Master Chen, I especially respect you for a cup, if you don't dare to drink it, this prince will do it first!"

Qi Chao said, drinking the wine in the cup.

Seeing this, Chen Lingxiao also drank the wine, put down the wine glass and said straight to the point: "Third prince, what are you looking for me, please tell me directly." ”

He doesn't like to beat around the bush and waste time.

"Hahaha!"

When Qi Chao heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "Master Chen is really fast-talking, and Prince Ben likes it." To tell you the truth, this prince needs the assistance of a great talent like Master Chen!"

The third prince threw out an olive branch.

Chen Lingxiao did not speak, falling into silence.

Qi Chao saw that the other party was speechless and not in a hurry, so he waited quietly on the side.

After being silent for a while, Chen Lingxiao said:

"Thank you to the third prince for your love, but I'm used to being idle and wild cranes, and I don't like to be restrained.

After a while, I will resign from my position as a university scholar, and I will be unofficial and light.

So...... I can only refuse the invitation of the third prince, I'm really sorry!"

After speaking, Chen Lingxiao said goodbye and left.

Qi Chao stood in front of the window, watching Chen Lingxiao's frame go away, and he didn't retract his gaze until the frame disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Send someone to monitor No. 99 Vermilion Bird Street at all times, monitor Chen Lingxiao, if he intends to take refuge in the eldest prince or the sixth prince, he doesn't need to tell him, he will be killed on the spot!"

Qi Chao's tone was full of murderous intent.

Those who cannot be used by him can not be used by others.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Behind Qi Chao, there was a man who exuded a strong aura, kneeling respectfully.

After Qi Chao finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Tianzi private room and left.

A few days later.

Outside the city of Dingrong, a horse galloped and rushed into the city.

When the middle-aged man with the horses and dust arrived at a mansion with a plaque of [Zhou Mansion], he finally could no longer support it, and his hooves were weak, and he knelt on the ground.

Blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he was dying.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground and hurriedly got up, not caring about patting the dust, like a gate rushing towards him.

"Who are you?" the guard at the door stopped him.

The middle-aged man took out a token from his waist, and the guard let him go as soon as he saw it.

When he came to the mansion, he saw a young general practicing his sword.

"Eldest son, something is wrong!! the middle-aged man's voice said eagerly.

This young general is Zhou Yong's eldest son Zhou Yuquan, who is a general and military attaché.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuquan put away his sword, looked at the middle-aged man, and said suspiciously:

"Uncle Zhang, why did you come to Dingrong, what happened?"

"Eldest prince, you take all your savings and flee to Dog Rong, a few days ago I saw that the Yulin Army sealed the Zhou Mansion and captured the people of the entire mansion.

If it weren't for the thoughtfulness of the old man and the arrangement of me outside, I am afraid that I would not be spared.

I think it must have been the revelation of the master's trading of copper and iron with the dog Rong people, which caused His Majesty Long Yan to be furious.

It is estimated that the father-in-law is already on the way, and he will soon arrive at Dingrong Mansion to convey the order to arrest you, and when the time comes, I am afraid that you will not be able to leave if you want to!"

The middle-aged man known as Uncle Zhang said everything in one go.

Bang dang!

After Zhou Yuquan learned of this, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

It was a bolt from the blue.

The huge Zhou Mansion fell apart in an instant, and if you didn't say it, it would be gone!

"Eldest son, you have to cheer up, you are the only one left in the entire Zhou family!" Uncle Zhang hurriedly said.

Zhou Yuquan came back to his senses, cheered up, and gritted his teeth: "Qi Linyuan Lao'er, I swear that I will take revenge!"

Soon, Zhou Yuquan led a team of cavalry out of the mansion and headed towards the west of the city.

He obeyed the orders of his father Zhou Yong.

The money earned by the Zhou family and the dog Rong from the copper and iron trade, as well as most of the other income, were all secretly stored in a mansion in the west of the city.

The purpose of doing this is to prevent the Zhou family from having an accident one day and being raided by the King of Jin, so that all property will be confiscated and all efforts will be in vain.

At this time, Zhou Yuquan didn't notice that there was a heroic young man quietly following behind him.

If Dian Wei was here, he would definitely know this young man, he was General Xue Rengui, a civil and military all-rounder.
