Chapter Twenty-Six: Mischief

Jin Yu's death shocked Zhong Kang, his face was pale, he clasped Zhong Yan's shoulder, and asked fiercely, "You say it again!" ”

Zhong Kang's sudden hideousness frightened Zhong Yan, she was stunned and opened her mouth, "Jin Yu is really dead." ”

Zhong Kang's frowning brows broke off suddenly, and the whole person was instantly pulled out of his soul, staggering back a few steps. The attendants in close proximity hurriedly stepped forward and restrained him, so as to prevent the prince from further gaffes.

Zhong Yan looked at Zhong Ze worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's wrong with the uncle?" ”

Zhong Ze pinched her palm and raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xi, "Ah Xi, don't go anywhere today, take your sister home." ”

Hearing that Daddy was going to break them away, Zhong Xi dragged Zhong Yan out of the main hall.

After Zhong Xi's sister and brother left, Zhong sent the chamberlain, and only the two brothers were left in the huge main hall. Zhong Kang sat on the throne, his hand on the arm still clenched. Zhong Ze stood on the side with a slight hunched body, his overlapping hands rubbing incessantly.

Five years ago, Jin Hongguang, the eldest son of Jinshan people, who had high hopes, died in a shipwreck. In the same year, the second son, Jin Hongru, contracted tuberculosis and died on a cold winter night after coughing up a pool of blood. Neither brother lived past the age of twenty, nor did he leave a son and a daughter.

As the only remaining seedling of the Jin family, the blow of Jin Lu's death to the people of Jinshan can be imagined. Under these circumstances, if you still want him to keep his promise, it is simply impossible to hand over the firearms production base on the day of the scheduled wedding of the two children.

Moreover, once this agreement spreads, Zhong Kang's eighteen years of forbearance will really become a joke.

He steadied himself and said to Zhong Ze, "Go to the Golden Mansion." ”

The people of Jinshan have been old overnight, but their cloudy eyes are still sharp. He looked at the Zhong brothers who were standing in front of the couch, and said coldly with the breath in his throat and eyes, "The prince rushed over in such a hurry to confirm whether the old man was also dead, right?" ”

Zhong Kang's heart was tight, he didn't dare to come out, but now he almost stopped, he hurriedly said, "Zhong Kang doesn't dare, Jin Lao is mourning." ”

Jin Shanren propped up the edge of the bed, rudely pushed away the maid who supported him, walked up to Zhong Kang with a trembling step but very strong, raised his head and squinted at him, "Mourning? ”

The voice was old and hoarse, but with a suffocating oppression, Zhong Kang suddenly felt creepy, which was absolutely unprecedented in previous confrontations. He couldn't help but lower his body again, and said in fear, "Please take care of your body." ”

Jin Shanren raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, and slapped it twice, "Okay, then ask the prince to arrest the murderer as soon as possible." ”

Zhong Kang repeatedly said yes, completely abandoning the majesty of the lord of a state, but his younger brother was not at all. Jinshan people were very unhappy when they saw Zhong Ze's face that was neither humble nor arrogant.

He said to Zhong Kang, "Maharaja, the old decay can give you a clue. ”

Zhong Kang asked urgently, "Elder Jin, you said." ”

Jinshanren stared at Zhong Ze's eyes and said, "Although my son is usually a little nonsense, he will definitely not make a mortal enmity with others. Therefore, whoever kills Ah Lu is most beneficial, then whoever is most suspicious. ”

He asked Zhong Ze, "Did you say I was right?" ”

Zhong Ze's favor for Zhong Yan is clear to the whole Heren. Jong-yeon hates her fiancΓ© very much, and the whole He-in is also clear. So ......

The seeds of suspicion sprouted in Zhong Kang's heart, he glanced at Zhong Ze, and the scene of his extremely reluctant marriage between Zhong Yan and Jin Yu flashed again.

Zhong Ze straightened up, his face did not change, "I treat Ah Lu like a father and son, if Jin Lao is suspicious, then please come up with definite evidence." ”

"Exact evidence needs to be found by the Maharaja, it is not the duty of the old man......" He suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and a touch of cruelty suddenly appeared on his withered face.

Zhong Kang looked at him uneasily, "Elder Jin? ”

Jinshan people sighed and said loudly, "How can I doubt you? After all, our two families have a marriage contract. ”

Engagement? The Golden Rule is dead, where is there any marriage contract?

Jinshanren looked at them and spit out two words with an expressionless face, "Yin kiss." ”

Zhong Ze: "......"

Zhong Kang: "......"

"On the day of the wedding, the old man will hand over the bottom of the firearm according to the agreement made eighteen years ago, and in his lifetime, he will accept apprentices to teach and expand the Heren firearms camp."

The people of Jinshan did not give Zhong Ze half room for discussion.

Zhong Ze heard the sound of his heart sinking to the bottom, and at this time, even if he didn't look up, he knew that both eyes were on him. A cruelty that is easy to handle, and a ferventness that is painful but full of expectations.

Zhong Ze knew that if he refused, the estrangement between him and his eldest brother would deepen to the point of no repair. Moreover, in case the Jinshan people handed over the bottom of the firearm to any clan in the Xianyuan Continent, when the Xianyuan had already caused trouble, it would be a catastrophe for Heren.

But he couldn't agree, no matter what, he couldn't imprison his daughter's life to a dead man.

Zhong Ze's reaction, Jin Shanren saw it in his eyes one by one, and he turned to Zhong Kang and said, "Monarch, the minister will definitely keep his promise, and the day of the wedding is the time for the minister to hand over the bottom line." ”

The eagerness in Zhong Kang's eyes changed, and Zhong Ze's heart was disheartened, in front of the state, any personal feelings were not enough to talk about, let alone the emperor's family.

He gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Three days later, the funeral of the golden law.

Zhong Yan didn't plan to go, Zhong Ze didn't force her, and after telling her not to go out, she took Zhong Xi to the Golden Mansion.

Zhong Xi looked at his father's heavy face, and couldn't help but think of the situation in the Dajun's Mansion that day, and he asked, "Dad, are you in trouble?" He stepped forward, "Why don't you talk to your son, maybe I have a bright head and help you solve it?" ”

Zhong Ze raised his eyebrows and glared, "If you want money, just say it." ”

Zhong Xi was not angry, and moved to the side of his father, "I saw that the eldest uncle's reaction was very abnormal that day, is there something stuck with you two?" ”

Zhong Ze looked at him fixedly, "How much do you owe outside?" ”

Zhong Xi suddenly stuck to the inner wall of the car, "Dad, I'm not the heartless gentleman you said, let's be serious?" ”

Zhong didn't believe it, closed his eyes, and ignored it. A moment later, he opened his eyes again, his expression dazed, his pupils flickering.

Zhong Xi struck while the iron was hot, "Dad, you're almost depressed, let's talk about it, there's no shame in discussing it with your son." ”

Zhong Ze finally looked at him seriously, snorted a few times, and clenched the hand on his lap, which was considered to be determined.

"Daddy asks you ......"

"You say."

"How did you hide it from me when you didn't want me to know when you caused a big disaster?"

Zhong Xi bared his teeth and cut out, "This has to be the right medicine, you just ask the truth, what kind of moth is it." ”

In the old days, I heard this...... No, in the past, when my father saw that he was either slapping or throwing the soles of his shoes, he would never be in the same room so quietly, and it was not so strange that the sun came out in the west.

Daddy must be in trouble!

Zhong Ze knew very well that there were many people at the funeral, and the matter of "yin relatives" could not be hidden for long. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you hide it now, what will you do in the future?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ze told Zhong Xi about their agreement with the Jinshan people back then, as well as the matter of "Yin Relatives". Zhong Xi listened, his expression became more and more solemn.

He looked at his father in disbelief, "You really agreed?" How important is the bottom side of a firearm? More important than your baby pimple for a lifetime of happiness? ”

"Ah Xi!"

"I can't believe that you actually pinned the safety of Heren on a woman."

"If you knew the danger we were facing now, I wouldn't have talked to my dad like that."

Zhong Xi sneered, "I know one thing, men don't have the ability to make women suffer." ”

"You!"

Zhong Xi called the parking man, lifted the curtain, and jumped down.

"Stop."

"I'm not going to the funeral, isn't it Zhang Difang, I'm still afraid of him."

"Ah Xi!" Zhong chased him out.

Zhong Xi turned to look at Zhong Ze, and the firmness in his eyes made him feel as if he had seen a stranger.

"Don't worry, Zhong Yan won't know from me." There was a hint of banter on his face, "But think about what to say to that stubborn donkey." ”

At the funeral, the people of Jinshan did not appear, but the discussion about "Yin relatives" had been spread in the house, and Zhong Ze avoided it, and it was difficult to move, and even the smile on his face at the beginning could not be maintained.

He understood that the purpose of Jinshanren's operation was to turn "Yin Relatives" into a discussion on the streets and alleys, and into a fact that no one could change.

In this way, if you want to hide from Zhong Yan, you must not let her go out. One day, two days, three days...... The girl will burn him.

After thinking about it, Zhong Ze had already stepped out of the golden house and folded back. Before things get bigger, he has to find ways to beg Jinshan people to change their minds.

Zhong House

Zhong Yan hung lazily on the swing, her eyes full of melancholy. Last night, she dreamed of the Golden Rule. He had a black feather stuck in his neck, covered in blood, and he was ready to ask her for his life.

She had lived eighteen years, and it was the first time she had woken up from a nightmare.

"Bamboo pole," she cried, "is my father back?" ”

The bamboo pole was fighting crickets on the side, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head and said, "No." ”

Zhong Yan caressed her heart, and her uneasy mood jumped violently. She said to the bamboo pole, "Prepare the car and go to the golden house." ”

The carriage creaked, and neither master nor servant spoke.

Zhong Yan didn't want to meet the people of Jinshan, so after arriving at the Jin Mansion, she didn't let the porter report it. She went to the place where Jin Lu lived before her death, that courtyard, she went there a few times, and every time she fought with him, she never took a good look at it.

Jin Rule's mansion is much larger than the one he lives in, and the decoration is good and magnificent. She stood in front of the courtyard gate, looking up carefully.

The servant of the Jin family walked over, bowed down and asked, "Miss, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

Zhong Yan bit her lip slightly, she wondered if Jin Yu didn't want to see her invade his territory. She squeezed out a smile and shook her head at the servant.

A begonia poked out of the courtyard, red and gorgeous, no different from the past.

Zhong Yan sighed deeply, until now, she still couldn't believe that Jin Yu was really dead. This funeral was more like his prank, revenge for her spraying him with egg drop soup that day......
