Cao Pi's residence was filled with blood.

The room was littered with dead bodies.

The Zhen family guards walked around to check the dead body status.

Some of the servants came out of the house carrying the bodies that had been examined.

Today's head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yi's second son, Zhen Yan.

Standing at the door of a room with a cold face, he had not said a word since he came here.

"Second brother, I've checked it." His third brother, Zhen Yao, walked out of the house.

"How?" Zhen Yan asked.

"Some were strangled to death, some were bitten to death, and more were hacked to death by swords." Zhen Yao replied: "The death is strange, even if it is hacked to death, it does not look like a human hand." ”

"Where do you see that it doesn't look like a human hand?" Zhen Yan asked.

"If it is a human hand, there will be no scratching or biting marks near the wound. But there are almost every corpse here. ”

Zhen Yan's face was solemn: "Didn't anyone find any signs in the nursing home that was on duty last night?" ”

Zhen Yao was about to answer, when a voice came: "No need to check, I know who it is." ”

The brothers followed the sound and saw Yuan Xu walking over with Tian Feng and Feng Jizheng.

"Why is the fourth prince here?" stepped forward to salute, Zhen Yan looked apologetic: "There have been too many affairs recently, so I neglected ......"

"If Cao Pi doesn't leave, I'm afraid I haven't had a chance to meet the head of the family yet." Yuan Xu smiled in return.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were both embarrassed.

"It's very bloody here, and the fourth prince still avoids it." Zhen Yao reminded.

"I killed people, why should I avoid them?" Yuan Xu responded calmly.

He actually admitted that he had killed the person. Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were full of surprise.

"The fourth prince doesn't dare to laugh." Zhen Yan replied: "We haven't found the second son of the Cao family......"

"People have run away, how can they be found." Yuan Xu motioned for the guards to step forward.

One of the guards stepped forward and pulled a mane from his bosom.

"This is ......" Zhen Yan looked at his mane and then at Yuan Xu.

"The horse that Cao Pi rode when he fled." Yuan Xu said: "It was pulled off from the horse's tail. ”

Zhen Yao stepped forward and whispered to Zhen Yan: "We have checked, Cao Zihuan did escape on a horse of this color. ”

"If it's really the fourth son...... Zhen Yan was stunned: "Why ......"

"If I don't kill him, will I wait for him to kill me and then snatch my woman?" Yuan Xu sneered: "When the old head of the Zhen family was here, he never neglected our Yuan family so much. In the first battle of Guandu, although the Yuan family was defeated, they did not lose Hebei. Zhongshan is still in Hebei, is it too early to curry favor with Cao Cao? ”

"The fourth prince is wrong to blame us!" Yuan Xu turned his face, and Zhen Yan hurriedly defended: "We didn't ......"

"I think it's time for the head of the Zhen family to change." Yuan Xu didn't listen to his explanation at all, and looked at Zhen Yao: "From today on, you will be the head of the family." ”

Zhen Yao looked at Zhen Yan with an embarrassed expression.

"How?" Yuan Xu's face was cold: "You don't want to?" ”

"It's not ......" Zhen Yao lowered his head: "It's just ......"

"If you're willing to do it, what else are you going to say?" Yuan Xu said to Zhen Yan again: "The head of the family has changed, you don't need to stay here, come with me to Yecheng." ”

After all, Hebei is still in the hands of the Yuan family, Yuan Xu changed the head of the Zhen family, and Zhen Yan lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Zhen Yao's head hung down to his chest, and he didn't dare to look at him.

I have long heard that the fourth son of the Yuan family has some means to save Yuan Shao in Muye.

They didn't see it with their own eyes, and they were always suspicious.

Cao Pi came to Zhongshan one day earlier than Yuan Xu.

He brought with him many guards.

Compared with the guards around Cao Pi, Yuan Xu's escort force is much thinner.

Even so, he destroyed Cao Pi's guards overnight.

If he hadn't escaped quickly, Cao Pi would have been among the corpses.

At this moment, Zhen Yan's intestines are full of regret.

Cao Pi came to propose marriage, considering the defeat of the Yuan family in the battle of Guandu, and the strength of the Cao family increasing day by day, he chose to be close to him.

When Yuan Xu came, he actually avoided it......

knew that Cao Pi was not Yuan Xu's opponent, how could he do such a stupid thing.

"You come with me." Yuan Xu greeted Zhen Yao and walked into the room where Cao Pi stayed last night.

"There's no blood here." Entering the house, he looked around: "Much better than where I lived." ”

"I neglected the fourth son, please forgive me!" Zhen Yao lowered his head and responded.

"I know your status in the Zhen family, and I also know that you have the right to speak." Yuan Xu turned to look at him: "Zhen Yan can't make the decision to get close to the Cao family alone. ”

Zhen Yao lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Approaching Cao Pi and alienating Yuan Xu, he did participate in the decision.

Yuan Xu asked again: "How much grain does the Zhen family plan to subsidize the Cao family?" ”

"Nope." The Zhen family did decide to fund Cao Cao, but Zhen Yao dared to admit it.

"Don't look at it." Yuan Xu sneered: "I can see at a glance that you are lying!" ”

"The fourth prince forgives his sins!" Zhen Yao trembled with fright, trembling when he spoke.

"Send the money and grain to fund Cao Cao to Yecheng." Yuan Xu explained: "There is also the bride price I brought, take a look at what's there." Take the list, I'm going to take things back. ”

Zhen Yao looked dazed.

The money and grain were sent to Yecheng, he could understand.

After all, every year the Zhen family will sponsor the Yuan family.

Bride price......

"Zhen Mi and I are going to live in the future." Yuan Xu said flatly: "If the bride price stays here, we won't get any benefits." Bring it back to me, so that she can be clothed and fed in the future. ”

"Childe is right." Zhen Yao replied with a very eye-catching look: "After counting, the Zhen family will give the same gift in return." ”

"You're still sensible." Yuan Xu smiled approvingly.

Zhen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Since entering the room, he didn't even dare to take a breath.

It wasn't until Yuan Xu's face softened that he felt that the crisis had passed.

"I have something to tell you." Yuan Xu beckoned.

Zhen Yao stepped forward.

"In the future, all the money and food will only be sent to where I am." Yuan Xu advised: "Where I sit, I will send it to wherever I go." ”

"If Yuan Gong asks......" Zhen Yao was a little worried.

"Let's just say that in order to prevent others from enriching their own pockets, I will personally calculate it." Yuan Xu replied: "Once the army goes out, all of them will be transported to the army. ”

"I see." Zhen Yao nodded: "Do you want to add two more sentences, Gongzi checked the accounts and found that the previous gifts were different from the actual income?" ”

"No, you don't." Yuan Xu said: "Just say that I personally take stock." ”

Zhen Yao responded again.

Yuan Xu diverted the topic: "It's been two or three days since I came to Zhongshan, and I haven't seen my wife, should I be taken to meet him?" ”

"I'll take the fourth son there." Zhen Yao immediately agreed.

Before getting rid of Cao Pi, the Zhen family had a cold attitude towards him, not to mention leading him to see Zhen Mi, and even the head of the family refused to show up.

At this time, he asked to see him, but Zhen Yao agreed.

Yuan Xu couldn't help but sigh that the world was cold.

You are weak, you will only be bullied by others, and you will suffer all the white eyes!

If you are strong, you can be respected and high!
