The first foray into the rivers and lakes Chapter 65 The head of the family ruthlessly establishes a new style
No matter how uncontrolled the situation is, it is not a problem in front of Chu Ruizhao. He intended to leave a few elders behind to demonstrate his benevolence. But now that these elders are not self-sufficient and seek their own death, it is no wonder that he is ruthless. The twilight of the Chu family is too strong, and half of it is due to the work of these elders. These old immortals are all in high positions, but they only care about their own interests, and they don't care about the interests of their families at heart. Therefore, Chu Ruizhao had already made a plan in his heart not to break or stand.
Chu Ruizhao sat firmly in the position of the head of the Chu family by iron-blooded means, but a few years later, the Chu family is really prosperous, who will remember his ruthlessness and rebellion today. Thinking of this, Chu Ruizhao's eyes looked at these elders even more indifferently.
Elders, you and I counted Chu Ruizhao in every word, and it seemed that this would be able to pull Chu Ruizhao down the stairs to the throne of the head of the family.
"Enough. Then there was the sound of crutches hitting the ground in the ancestral hall, "Isn't it because you want to demolish this Chu family before you are willing to give up?"
There was an old man on crutches and walked in step by step from behind the ancestral shrine. His hair was all white, the corners of his eyebrows were full of wrinkles, and his face was full of brown spots, slightly hunched over, all of which showed his old age.
At this age, with this kind of attitude, there is still such an old man in the Chu family, so there is only one identity, that is, the head of the previous generation, that is, the father of the second uncle of Chu, in other words, Chu Ruizhao's own grandfather.
"Uncle Cousin. Someone was surprised.
"Old master. Someone was overjoyed.
"Old master, you have to make decisions for us. Look at this kid, he did it in the ancestral shrine today, and not only killed the head of the family······" Some of the elders thought they were looking forward to a savior and complained.
The old master raised his hand slightly, signaling him to stop talking. Then he looked at the young man who should have been familiar but not very familiar, his eyes were blurry, but his mind was clearer than it had been years ago. He looked at Chu Ruizhao like this, as if he was choosing an heir, and as if he was saying, how are you going to stop?
Chu Ruizhao just lowered his head and didn't say a word, letting the old master's gaze look at him.
After a long time, the old master finally nodded.
"Very good, with this determination, my Chu family finally has a successor. The old man sighed.
Chu Ruizhao's fists were clenched, and the tips of his index fingers turned white. How could this ruthless old fellow suddenly come out today? If half of his upheaval over the years is due to his second uncle, then the other half is caused by his own grandfather. The old lady of the Chu family prefers young sons, which is recognized in the Chu family.
"But don't forget, you're surnamed Chu after all. In the whole world, you can't write two Chu characters in one stroke. You can only be the descendant of my Chu family. No matter how much you hate this family, no matter how much you dislike this surname. The old lady of the Chu family's words were a little harsh.
"If it weren't for this surname to protect you and protect you, how could you have survived to this day. I'm afraid you've been like a wild dog on the side of the road, dying miserably, and still dead without a whole body. Chu Ruizhao was noncommittal about these words, and let the old lady of the Chu family talk to himself.
"So, never forget your name, your ancestors are here, and your mission is here. The old lady of the Chu family was on crutches.
"The Zhu family's birthday incident, you did a good job, very courageous, and very courageous. The old lady of the Chu family then smiled lightly and expressed her appreciation.
The old family master looked at his descendants again, and said coldly: "Now, the times create heroes, and Chu Ruizhao should be the head of the Chu family, taking charge of the war and exercising all the power of the head of the family. You should be loyal to yourself. ”
This sentence completely extinguished everyone's hopes, and also pushed Chu Ruizhao to the position of the head of the family.
The old lady of the Chu family looked carefully at this eldest grandson who had not been seen for many years, but he didn't look at the dear flesh and blood who fell in a pool of blood, his beloved young son. As he thought in his heart, he was not sad when he lost his eldest son many years ago, and he was not sad to lose this not very good head of the family now. If the family can take advantage of this killing to win the opportunity to prosper, it is crucial. As for the rest, the so-called family affection, the so-called flesh and blood, let's go a little later. How could he himself use bright means to ascend to the throne back then? The second son was not good enough to do things, but today this grandson is not bad, ruthless enough, and desperate enough.
In the family, people are more and more respected as they get older. So his words weren't too big, and everyone could hear them, and everyone had to accept the offer. He spoke at the same speed as his pace, unhurried, without the slightest pain of losing his beloved son, and he did not see the emotional changes.
Such a cold-blooded old man, such a ruthless old family owner, no one dares to question him. So when the old master left, Chu Ruizhao also got everything he wanted, and the revenge he thought about day and night finally got his wish today. He wanted to take charge of the Chu family, and now he has succeeded in one fell swoop.
Several elders who were still indignant just now also lowered their heads one after another, and said respectfully: "Meet the head of the family." ”
All docile, like family dogs.
Chu Ruizhao naturally wouldn't kill these elders at once, if they really surrendered, he would also be willing to turn the page on Fang Cai's unhappiness, otherwise, the days ahead would be long, and he could have enough time slowly.
"Get up, elders. Please bury these five elders who came to Mingzhi with death advice, so that I can succeed to the throne, Chu Ruizhao was ashamed, and he could only bow and die. Chu Ruizhao said.
These words made the death of the five people a foregone conclusion, and in order to persuade Chu Ruizhao to succeed to the throne, he committed suicide, and Chu Ruizhao shirked everything he had done. even set the tone for the changes after taking charge of the Chu family in the future.
The elders finally learned the scheming of the new head of the family, and they raised their butts higher and lowered their heads to show their loyalty.
In fact, according to Chu Ruizhao's character of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, he also set a predictable ending for the families of those five people. Will the bloody wind sweep over this crumbling Chu family again, will it unite and stabilize a little or shake it even more? No one knows. But since today, Chu Ruizhao has learned to do a lot of things with the blood of his own people.
I thought that if I plunged headlong into the vast Hengqian Mountain, I would be able to save a lot of trouble. Xu Yongzheng really realized that his idea was wrong at this moment, and it was quite wrong. From the moment the first Assassin told him that his bounty had reached 1,000 taels of gold, he could only smile bitterly. This number is too tempting. And from the mouth of the fourth moment, I knew the specific reward situation. He was nominally a third-class strength, but he was rewarded with a second-level middle bounty. As soon as this situation came out, the Zhu family and Jin Yilou's intentions were rescued. Although he didn't know which realm the third-rank strength was referring to, it could also be seen from the skills and attitudes of the first four assassins. They clearly failed to comprehend the artistic conception, so they came to assassinate with confidence, thinking of a thousand taels of gold. It seems that the third-class strength is indeed not in the stream, and it is too buried for him.
His mind is actually far beyond his peers, but because of the existence of another guy, he can't recognize the real situation. That guy had only a little less mind than he did. Because of his cultivation of the Nameless Exercises, his senses were several times sharper than those of ordinary martial arts practitioners. Therefore, when the four assassins were assassinated, they were all discovered by him before they could get close. A sneak attack turned into a bright fight. Xu Yongzheng did not launch the artistic conception, and used the sharpness of the Jin Ge sword to defeat the opponent, although the Jin Ge sword has tasted victory recently, but he is not very excited. Because the opponent it faces is really inadequate, and it can't hold up a few moves, which makes it weak.
In fact, it is not entirely to blame the four assassins for not measuring their own strength, the assassins disdain to attack head-on, and assassinate in treacherous ways, and there are not many open swords and guns. And 1,000 taels of gold captured alive, 500 taels dead or alive, this is really too much bounty. At such a price, not to mention the third-class strength of the fragrant bun, even if it is a second-class strength stone, there will be a lot of people who want to take a bite and try their teeth.
Deng Daoji is a person with excellent teeth. He discovered this secret when he was dealing with Master's relics. It turns out that Jinyi Building also has this deal to do. And his master's mask should be left behind. He came to Jinyilou with the mentality of giving it a try and broke through. Fortunately, Jin Yilou never asks about people's true identities, nor does he pursue impostors. What kind of people to kill, what kind of bounty to get, are all clearly marked. He has a great eye and a lot of luck, and he is perfectly suited to do such a deal. After a little effort and two third-level bounties, he had some silver to squander. But this is not enough, he is bent on worry-free for the rest of his life, so he still has to make a few deals. When he saw Xu Yongzheng's third-class strength and second-class bounty, his eyes lit up and he quickly made a decision. He spent nearly one-third of his savings to buy Xu Yongzheng's information, and hurried to Hengqi Mountain, spending nearly a quarter of his savings on the way.
There will be a reward for the effort. Although he had spent a hundred taels of silver and had not seen Xu Yongzheng, he still comforted himself. He has seen this vivid portrait dozens of times. Even if you close your eyes, you can engrave that face in your mind and emerge. At this moment, he still took it out, for fear of missing any detail. It's not how handsome or weird Xu Yongzheng looks, but it's a key to his wealth.
Deng Daoji's luck was a little good, in the huge mountains, it only took him three days to find Xu Yongzheng's traces. Xu Yongzheng was carrying a burden, holding a sword in his hand, and his steps were extremely calm, but in Deng Daoji's opinion, most of them were pretentious, and the third-class strength was terrible.
Xu Yongzheng traveled more than ten miles in the morning, and then stopped to rest. Deng Daoji found that he chose the mountain roads that were easy to walk, which was even more ridiculous in Deng Daoji's opinion. Thinking about escaping for his life, he still chose such a path, is he afraid that others will not be able to catch up?
Deng Daoji lurked cautiously, he chose to lie in the grass, although his black clothes were extremely incompatible with the green grass, but the black clothes could give him a sense of security, and besides, the black clothes in the mountains and forests did not look so eye-catching and awkward. At this time, he chose the best timing. Xu Yongzheng just took a sip of water and lay down on the big stone by the river to rest. The terrain here is simple, flat, with a steep mountain on the right, a flat land on the left, and a river in the middle, which also separates the two from each other. On the flat ground, weeds and weeds grow together, and there are occasional puddles in the low-lying areas, and there are not many trees to hide. Xu Yongzheng chose this place to leak himself into the sun, but he could ensure that there was no one nearby. But in Deng Daoji's opinion, Xu Yongzheng is still a little tender, he forgot that grassland can also be hidden.
