Chapter Ninety-Five: Betrayal

There were only two sentences on the letter Zhou Zhong received: Shangquan Honger wants to be unfavorable to you and me, come and see you at the port!

The font of the letter was beautiful, and Zhou Zhong recognized it at a glance, this was Xie Lingyun's handwriting. Last time, they destroyed the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce, but they were escaped by Shangquan Hongji, which made Zhou Zhongzhong very unsteady, worried that the other party would hide in the dark and wait for revenge, but I didn't expect that now the worry has become a reality.

It is a matter of his own life and safety, Zhou Zhong did not dare to delay, and immediately found the brother on duty when he left the Zhou Mansion, and then asked them to tell him about the prosperity and wealth, during this time, he must send additional people to guard the Zhou Mansion, and he must not let any stranger enter the mansion!

After instructing these people to guard Zhou's mansion, Zhou Zhong immediately hired a carriage, and then rushed to Qingcun Port in the southeast of Songjiang, he wanted to see Xie Lingyun as soon as possible, and then ask about the situation of Shangquan Honger. And when he got out of the carriage, he happened to see the sea boat he and Xie Lingyun took to Shuangyu Port last time.

Seeing the familiar sea ship in the harbor, Zhou Zhong immediately walked over quickly, but this time it was not the bald and scar-faced black uncle who came to pick him up, but a young man he didn't know. Zhou Zhong followed the other party to the ship, and just saw Xie Lingyun standing on the deck, looking at him with a calm gaze as always.

"What the hell is going on? Where is Koji Kamiizumi now? Is your information accurate? As soon as Zhou Chonggang got on the boat, he immediately asked Xie Lingyun a series of questions.

For Zhou Chong's questions, I saw Xie Lingyun answer unhurriedly: "We have received reliable news before, Shangquan Hongji has gathered a group of people from nowhere to prepare to be unfavorable to you and me, and now they are lurking near the coast of Songjiang, and they have already sent people to inquire about the situation of our two families, if we don't take action again, the other party is likely to risk going ashore, and then directly kill the two of us." ”

"Bastard!" Zhou Chongqi's face turned blue, if he really let Shangquan Honger and them kill at home, his life and death would still be a trivial matter, but what would happen to Bang'er, Duo'er and Aunt Wang? Thinking about it makes Zhou Chong furious, and he can't wait to tear up the bastard of Kamizumi Hongji alive now.

Seeing Zhou Chong's angry appearance, Xie Lingyun smiled lightly and said: "Actually, Zhou Gongzi doesn't have to worry too much, Songjiang Mansion is not Shuangyu Port after all, and it is not so easy for Shangquan Honger to make trouble in Fucheng, besides, our Xie family is also a small power in Songjiang, and their every move can't escape our eyes, and I have also thought of a way to deal with it." ”

Hearing Xie Lingyun personally admit that the Xie family had such a great power in Songjiang, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, if this was really the case, wouldn't the safety of himself and his family be all under the control of the Xie family?

However, the above thoughts only flashed in the center of the week, in his opinion, the Xie family is still a partner in his own business, especially the formula of the soap has not been fully told to the other party, so in this case, the Xie family has no reason to be unfavorable to themselves.

"Since Miss Lingyun has a countermeasure, then I am relieved, but I don't know how the Xie family plans to deal with this matter?" I saw Zhou Chong ask with a smile.

However, Xie Lingyun did not immediately answer Zhou Chong's words after hearing this, but turned to Aunt Shui standing behind him and ordered: "Aunt Shui, let the boatman drive the boat, and we will go to Dayang Island." After speaking, he turned his head to Zhou Chong and said, "Master Zhou, let's talk in the cabin!" ”

Zhou Zhong saw that Xie Lingyun drove the boat without consulting him, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, but he still followed her into the cabin, and then the two sides sat down, and then Xie Lingyun spoke: "In fact, before Zhou Gongzi came, we had already made a plan to clean up Shangquan Honger, this plan is very simple, it is nothing more than to lure the snake out of the hole, the boat we are on has been targeted by Shangquan Honger's people, and when you came just now, the other party's eyeliner also saw you on my boat, Now we just need to pretend to go to Dayang Island to inspect the construction of the soap workshop, and the other party will definitely take the bait! ”

Zhou Zhong heard that Xie Lingyun had made such a complete plan, but he didn't know anything in advance, which made him a little unhappy, after all, this matter was related to his own safety, but the Xie family didn't notify him in advance, and even decided to use him as bait without authorization, although Xie Lingyun was also with him, but he always felt that the Xie family was very disrespectful to him this time.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Zhou Zhong didn't show it, after all, he and the Xie family have a good relationship now, and they can't make both parties unhappy because of these trivial things. Xie Lingyun didn't seem to see Zhou Chong's displeasure, and after chatting a few words, she let Zhou Chong rest in the cabin, and she wanted to go out to decorate it.

Seeing Xie Lingyun go out, Zhou Zhong was really bored sitting in the cabin by himself, and he simply stood up after the last moment, ready to go to the deck to blow the sea breeze, and at the same time he could see how Xie Lingyun arranged it?

It's just that Zhou Chong just opened the hatch, but was immediately blocked back by two sturdy men, only to see one of them speak: "Zhou Gongzi, my young lady has instructed, the enemy may attack at any time, for your safety, so please stay in the cabin!" ”

Although these two men spoke very politely, their tone was unquestionable, Zhou Chong finally felt that something was wrong at this time, and said with a cold face at the moment: "I am a guest invited by your young lady, not a prisoner of your Xie family, hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

For Zhou Chong's words, the two men in front of the door were indifferent at all, and even hugged their thick arms in front of their chests to show their strength, in their opinion, although Zhou Chong, the rich young master, was not lower than them, but he looked very thin, and this kind of person could knock down two with a slap.

Although Zhou Zhong is confident that he can defeat these two hateful guys in three seconds, this ship is the Xie family, there are at least dozens of people on board, no matter how much he can fight, it is impossible to knock everyone down, not to mention that if a character like Uncle Hei appears, he is not an opponent!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong had no choice but to suppress the anger in his chest, snorted coldly and slammed the hatch shut, his face became extremely gloomy, at this time, no matter how much he believed Xie Lingyun, he should understand that the Xie family must have bad intentions towards him this time.

In fact, Zhou Chong's character is already quite cautious, he likes to go through everything in his head, although his own force is not low, but it is never easily revealed, in order to save his life at a critical moment. But he did everything he could, but he didn't expect that the Xie family, who was still his ally a few days ago, would suddenly deal with him, and now he was angry and hateful in his heart, but no matter how resentful he was, he couldn't solve the crisis in front of him.

Speaking of which, this can't be all blamed on Zhou Chong, although he has experienced a lot of things in his previous life, but after all, he is just an ordinary person, and he has not experienced the intrigue between the power and the power at all, and he does not know the cruelty when the two forces compete. In addition, Xie Lingyun has also been helping him, which makes Zhou Zhong trust the Xie family too much, and he never thought that the other party would suddenly deal with him.

"Xie Lingyun!" Zhou Chong, who was sitting in the cabin, gritted his teeth, the expression on his face was extremely hideous, he was now eager to kill this scheming woman with his own hands, in vain he trusted her so much, but he was deceived by her to the ship, and even life and death were all in the other party's thoughts, which was also what Zhou Chong hated Xie Lingyun the most.

At the same time, Xie Lingyun on the deck looked at the sea in the distance, and Aunt Shui beside her stood quietly behind her, and after a while, she heard Xie Lingyun speak: "Aunt Shui, have those people from Shangquan Honger followed?" ”

"Miss Qiyu, just now the people on the fast boat came to report, the small boat that was tracking us has sent a signal, and then several cargo ships appeared in the northeast, although it seems to be our Ming merchant ship, but the people on board are secretive, it should be Shangquan Hongji's people!" I saw Aunt Shui bow her head and report.

Xie Lingyun nodded after hearing this, and then ordered: "Very good, let the boatmen maintain this speed, and at the same time prepare the ships that are ambushed along the way!" ”

"Yes!" Aunt Shui agreed, but did not leave immediately, but hesitated and spoke again, "Miss, should that Zhou Zhong be disposed of now, so as not to ......?"

"Shut up!" didn't wait for Aunt Shui to finish speaking, but Xie Lingyun interrupted sharply, and at the same time, two terrifying eyes also shot out of her eyes to stare at Aunt Shui, and said with an angry face, "Aunt Shui, I respect you as the old man by my father's side, so I arranged for you to be by my side, but before you actually told your father about the important matter without authorization, let my father force me to make a decision, and now you are pointing fingers at me to do things, it seems that you don't take me as a young lady in your eyes at all?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!" Seeing that Xie Lingyun was angry, Aunt Shui was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and explained, "The slave maid is just doing this to ensure that nothing goes wrong, according to the master's plan, after killing Zhou Zhong and Shangquan Honger, we can declare to the outside world that Zhou Chong died at the hands of Shangquan Honger, and then the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will be in chaos, and we can also take the opportunity to annex ......"

"That's enough, you don't need to use your father to press me, I'm in charge of this matter now, I don't need you to teach it!" Xie Lingyun interrupted Aunt Shui again, for some reason, as long as she thought of killing Zhou Chong, her mood was extremely irritable.

Aunt Shui saw that her young lady couldn't listen to any advice at all, and she couldn't help sighing, and then turned around and left silently.

The matter of Shangquan Hongji and Iselican conspiring against Zhou Zhong did not escape the eyes of the Xie family, but after knowing about this matter, plus Aunt Shui told Xie Lingyun's father about Zhou Chong, Xie Lingyun's father came up with this strategy of killing two birds with one stone, that is, he could get rid of the mad dog of Shangquan Hongji, and he could also strangle Zhou Chong, a potential threat, in the cradle. Of course, there must be people who doubt the real cause of Zhou Chong's death afterwards, but as long as their Xie family insists that Zhou Chong died at the hands of Shangquan Hongji, then others can't do anything to them.

Xie Lingyun, who was holding the side of the boat, remembered the strict orders her father gave her before she came, and she couldn't help but feel helpless, although she was the only daughter in the family and the only heir of the family, but it was precisely because of this that her father was more strict with her, she had been living in her father's shadow since she was a child, and never dared to disobey her father's orders.

PS: Some readers in the book review area reacted to the old fish abusing the master, and the character of Xie Lingyun was too shrewd, this is really wronged, although this chapter seems to have forced the protagonist to death, but how can the protagonist die, and then the protagonist has a chance to make a big comeback, I hope you don't give up, your support is the biggest motivation for the old fish!
