The sun shines on Xingyang City, and the earth is bright. But in the sunshine, the very center of the city is plotting a dark scheme.

The Zheng family's study, an important place that only the high-ranking officials of the Zheng family and other noble guests of the family can enter, Zheng Qiang, the elder of the Zheng family, is telling his own plans.

"What we can only confirm now is that this Chu Liuxiang is in Xingyang City, and in addition, it is not clear whether it is old or young, whether it is a man or a woman. Presumably Mr. Cui Huamin will not deny this! Although your family did not say it in detail in the official document issued by the sea fishing, if your Cui family had mastered the true appearance of this Chu Liuxiang, it would definitely not be so ambiguous. Zheng Qiang reasoned.

"Not bad!" Although admitting this would damage Cui's face, Cui Huamin still frankly admitted it at this juncture.

"If this is the case, then I have a plan, I would rather kill the wrong three thousand than let one go. As long as we arrest all the strange faces that have appeared in Xingyang City in the recent period, will we be able to catch Chu Liuxiang? Zheng Qiang stroked his long beard and said without the slightest expression, saying it was so plain, like slaughtering a few chickens and ducks.

Although the ...... had already prepared and knew that the strategy that this clan uncle said was definitely a poisonous plan, Zheng Duo did not expect it to be so vicious. This is indeed very likely to catch Chu Liuxiang, but how much of a murder is it to kill the strange faces of the whole city? Not to mention that it will cause the people's voices to boil, and even the officials will force the people to rebel. The blow to the prestige of the Zheng family alone is an incalculable loss. Just for a Chu Liuxiang, is it worth it?

"For a Chu Liuxiang. Is it really worth it? Zheng Duo asked aloud.

"Definitely worth it!" Before others could speak, Cui Huamin answered first, I don't know if it was because Cui Shi lost face. So this time it was unusually positive, not only did he issue a sea fishing official document through the relationship between the DPRK and China, but he even sent the old man of the clan to take the young master and young lady to the Quartet to set up control. It's just that except for the people of the Cui family, the rest of the people don't know that Chu Liuxiang stole from the Cui family is not just a 'white jade bright moon pearl'.

"You can definitely make such a sacrifice, Patriarch, you know. If this Chu Liuxiang really retreated from our Xingyang Zheng family, then it would not only be the face of the Zheng family that would be lost, but the Cui family would be able to use carelessness to shirk it before. But this is the second time, if he is not caught, the reputation of the entire five surnames and seven hopes will be ruined, at that time. Koto Bae's. There are also Xiaoxiang Chu clan, Lingnan Feng clan, these families who have been eyeing us for a long time, will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack us! For the sake of the family's continuity and reputation for thousands of years, this is necessary! Zheng Qiang analyzed.

"So, let's do it!" Zheng Duo is not a pedantic person, and when he was young, he was also a ruthless character. So after weighing the gains and losses, I suddenly felt that there were not many strangers coming and going in this city. Although Xingyang is rich, it is also the result of the stability of people's livelihood for a long time. And not pulled out by outsiders. Moreover, this season is not a good time to do business, and there are few merchants. Now there will never be more than a thousand strangers in the entire Xingyang City. The death of these thousands of people in exchange for the stability of the five surnames and seven hopes is worth it. In addition, it can also be blamed on the remnants of the previous dynasty and the remnants of the king of Xi, two unstable factors that are now circulating in the Tang Dynasty, this can be done.

Li Kuan was hiding outside the window at this time, and when he heard the conversation inside, the anger in his heart burned again, these people are really human beings, how can such a family be able to govern this country.

The so-called 'anger rises from the heart, and evil grows to the guts' Li Kuan's endless anger rose in his heart, coupled with the actions of the previous gentlemen, he suddenly felt a bad anger in his heart. In his mind, he was thinking about how to put these people to death. Because killing them is equivalent to saving thousands of innocent people in the city, and killing them is equivalent to saving countless innocents who will be harmed by their families in the years to come.

So Li Kuan decided to use the gunpowder that he had been reluctant to use, because there were many secret sentinels around this study, and if he rushed in and killed these people directly, although he was drenched, he would also fall into the encirclement of these secret sentinels. So although Li Kuan was full of anger, he did not lose his mind. That's why he vetoed the idea, and he thought of using gunpowder. Using this thing, not only can the people inside be killed, but it can also blow up this study, and the scattered wooden blocks and bricks will give him the best cover for him to leave calmly.

Therefore, Li Kuan directly made two gunpowder packets, each of which weighed more than ten catties, and once such a gunpowder bag exploded, it was enough to raze this spacious study to the ground.

He jerked himself up, hung himself under the eaves of the roof, and with a flash of fire in his hand, he lit the fuse of the powder bag in his hand, and then threw the powder bag into the unplugged window with all his might.

The gunpowder packet burning with the fuse, with its blue smoke, smashed straight through the window, and smashed into the center of the few people sitting in the study to deliberate. They were startled, and then they didn't care about the burning thing, but threw themselves in the direction of the window, what they were discussing at this time must not be heard by outsiders, as for the powder bag, they did not know, although they thought that the smoke might be poisonous, but they never thought to extinguish it, but thought of leaving here quickly, first catching the guy who might have eavesdropped on their conversation.

Before they reached the window, they saw a blue figure flash outside the window, and threw itself into the grass beside them.

"Catch him!" Zheng Duo shouted loudly, beckoning the guards who were guarding outside. But as soon as his voice came out, the guards who were on duty outside had just turned their heads when they heard a deafening thunderclap. Then the study of the palatial palace was torn apart in front of their eyes, and the big men of their protectors were shocked by a wave of air and flew out, and they were torn apart in mid-air.

The blood mist spread out in all directions, accompanied by billowing bricks and wooden blocks. There were also various fragments of broken furniture, which were thrown straight out in all directions. The whole courtyard was destroyed, and the whole connected undulating courtyard trembled at the loud noise. This is like a punishment from above, like a punishment for the world. The guards were dumbfounded, and their ears were shocked to the point of bleeding at this moment, and then these guards felt that the world was pure, without the slightest sound, really quiet, like a graveyard at midnight.

"What's going on?" The housekeeper who was still on the road was followed by the family members carrying the young masters, and they had just approached here when they saw this scene. Those who were originally high in the family, clan elders, and distinguished guests turned into pieces of flesh and blood in front of their eyes. It was sprinkled all over the yard, and even some colorful internal organs were still hanging on the small trees around it, making people feel a burst of heart palpitations and nausea.

"No!" The rest of the Zheng family, who rushed to hear the sound, cried out one by one when they saw the tragedy in front of them. The wife of Zheng Duo, the patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Wang, who was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, was covering her mouth with her hands at this time, her expression was full of disbelief, what the hell is this, why is this like this? Isn't it just a little thief? Why?

No one can accept that the head of the Zheng family of Xingyang in the five surnames and seven wangs was directly turned into flesh and blood by God in his own home, and their big families have never believed in God, because they themselves know how many things they have done secretly in order to protect the interests of their family, these things are enough for God to erase his family from the earth, but now the family has been inherited for hundreds of years and is becoming more and more prosperous, so it can be seen that God is just a joke.

So they concluded that this qiē was all artificial, and the one who could do this qiē recently was undoubtedly that Chu Liuxiang. So Xingyang Zheng and this Chu Liuxiang will be endless, as long as this Chu Liuxiang is there, then unless the entire Zheng family is dead, he must be arrested and broken into thousands of pieces.

The Zheng family also joined the ranks of the wanted Chu Liuxiang, not only that, but another news from the Zheng family caused an uproar in the world: the patriarch of the Zheng family was assassinated by Chu Liuxiang at home, and the old Zheng Qiang of the Zheng clan who was with the patriarch at that time, and Cui Huamin, a big man from the Cui clan in Qinghe, were killed together. At the same time, because this Chu Liuxiang coveted the beauty of the fourth lady's personal maid of the family, he even violently committed violence against him in the garden of the Zheng family's backyard. was smashed by the three young masters of the Zheng family and Cui Qing, the third young master of the Cui family, who were playing together, and as a result, the outstanding sons of these four big families were also brutally killed by this lawless Chu Liuxiang, and even before killing them, they cruelly trampled the roots of several people's descendants. Such a heinous behavior suddenly spread Chu Liuxiang's notoriety to the world.

In this world, not only Li Tang's law can punish the wicked, but also the world's leisurely people and those rangers who are full of righteous ideals, maybe many rangers are just brave and ruthless gangsters, but there are still many rangers who want to travel all the way for the justice in their hearts, and fight all the way to the sword. Just like Xu Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, this top strategist who can be compared with Zhuge Wolong and Pang Tong Fengxiao, his original dream was to be a ranger who fought unevenly, managing all the idle affairs of the world, killing corrupt officials, and eliminating the wicked.

So when they heard about Chu Liuxiang's evil deeds, the blood in the hearts of these people also boiled, and they all rushed to the territory of the five surnames and seven hopes, wanting to get rid of this evil flower thief.

At the same time, in Chang'an City, the dark tide is also surging, and the big families are united, they put pressure on the Li Tang court, using their own connections and their own forces, hoping that the court can send troops to encircle and suppress this Chu Liuxiang, and if they don't get rid of this scourge for a day, they will not be able to live in peace for a day. The representative of the Zheng clan in Xingyang: Zheng Qiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was dressed in snow-white plain clothes and wore a plain crown at this time, and was kneeling in front of the Lizheng Hall to petition, hoping that Li Er would avenge his brother.
