495 On the occasion of death
As one of the four great families of Great Chu, the Qian family is definitely a giant in Huizhou, and every move has a great impact on this ancient city, not to mention such a major event as Old Man Qian's critical illness?
In the evening, the number of carriages slowly drove into Huizhou City, but this ordinary thing was like a stone thrown into the water and rippled layer by layer, because the carriage was Zhou Chu, Chu Haoyu's cronies, because the ancient city of Huizhou had been suppressed for too long, and it had reached the verge of outbreak.
The news of Zhou Chu's arrival in Huizhou, the Qian brothers got it almost at the same time, although some people were happy and some were worried, but they all sent people to monitor the Yuelai Inn where Zhou Chu stayed. Yuelai Inn is an independent small courtyard, and the blood guards have occupied the key points to completely control this courtyard, but Li Mu is still not at ease and carefully patrolling, he knows no matter how clear it is, Huizhou has become the center of the storm, but Zhou Chu left the team outside with only twenty guards, Li Mu had to be cautious.
Unlike Li Mu's cautiousness, Zhou Chu had a worried face, not the Qian family, but his wife Zhang Yiyi. It's time to be in a hurry these days, Zhang Yiyi has an unconcealable tiredness on her face, her already thin body has lost weight again, she looks weak, and her eyes are getting brighter and brighter. As for her daughter Zhou Qingyou, Zhou Chu didn't want her to come to a dangerous place, so she went to Pingjiang Mansion with Princess Chen Fangfei.
Half-lying on the soft couch, Zhang Yiyi opened her mouth and asked, "Husband, where are you going to start?" Speaking of this, a smile squeezed out of Zhang Yiyi's thin face, and then said: "The Seventh Prince gave you two hundred guards, almost all of them were left on the boat by you, Mo Feifu Jun wants to fish?" ”
Seeing that his wife Zhang Yiyi was quite interested, although Zhou Chu didn't want her to work hard, he didn't want to refute her interest, and said slowly: "I am different from the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince is a nobleman, and when he goes there, he is admired by all the people, so he acts magnificently, although Zhou Mou is in the name of the Seventh Prince, but after all, he is a scholar, a scholar, and naturally he has to use the method of a scholar." ”
At this point, I saw a smile on his wife Zhang Yiyi's face, and the pale smile looked so touching and pitiful. There was another sigh in his heart, but Zhou Chu's expression did not change, and then said: "The rebellion of the Qian family should be the result of the deliberate connivance of the old man Qian, although I don't know the reason, but with the castration of the old man Qian, it will definitely cause trouble to Xiao Wall, but after all, the Qian family is the four great families of the Great Chu and the courtiers of the Chu family, so no matter who controls the Qian family, they must be handed over to the court." ”
Looking at her husband Zhou Chu with a smile, Zhang Yiyi chuckled lightly and said, "Husband is really fishing, waiting for the fish to take the bait, but," In the elongated voice, Zhang Yiyi's eyes rolled to reveal a hint of naughtiness, and asked with a smile: "I just don't know who the fish your husband likes?" ”
Zhou Chu understands why Zhang Yiyi pretends to be naughty and wants to make herself happy, but seeing her lose weight day by day, how can she be happy? Thinking so in his heart, a smile appeared on Zhou Chu's face, and he chuckled: "The Seventh Prince has taken a fancy to the long house, Qian Changhai. ”
Zhang Yiyi tapped his head and said: "Since ancient times, it is easy to add icing on the cake, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, now the long house is weak, if he can help Qian Changhai to control the Qian family, he will definitely be grateful to the Seventh Prince, and as far as Yi Yi knows, Qian Lingyun Qian Lao is also a great talent, Yi Yi once followed the old man to see Qian Lao when he was young, it seems ordinary but Yi Yi can detect his extraordinary, but he is covered by the light of Old Man Qian, and few people notice. At this point, Zhang Yiyi's head was slightly raised, and Zhou Chu asked directly: "Husband, why do you say that Qian Lao will endure for ten years, otherwise, I am afraid that the Qian family is already under his control?" ”
These days, Zhou Chu has been thinking about this problem, although he guessed several possibilities, but he denied them one by one. After a moment of silence, Zhou Chu shook his head and said: "I haven't been able to guess either, but it should be related to Mr. Qian, and the key to the problem is still Mr. Qian." ”
This time, Zhang Yiyi didn't speak immediately, thought for a moment and then opened his mouth to ask: "Old man Qian is now terminally ill, I'm afraid it won't last long, could it be that Old Man Qian thinks that after his death, things are still under his control......" Suddenly seeing Zhou Chu shaking his head, Zhang Yiyi couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Chu opened his mouth and replied: "Things have long been out of the control of Old Man Qian. ”
Suddenly, Zhang Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and shouted in disbelief: "What? How so? ”
Zhou Chu shook his head again and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, nothing is impossible, after all, Old Man Qian has endured it for too long, more than ten years, which is enough to wear out a person's patience." Seeing his wife Zhang Yiyi's thoughtful look, Zhou Chu sighed lightly, shook his head again and said, "Perhaps, it was also deliberately done by Old Man Qian." ”
Hearing Zhou Chu's last sentence, a light flashed in Zhang Yiyi's calm eyes, but he didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yiyi opened his mouth and said: "Husband, are you saying that this is deliberately done by the old man Qian, so that the brothers of the Qian family can kill each other, so as to truly give birth to a family owner who really controls the Qian family and leads the Qian family to Zhongxing?" Seeing Zhou Chu nodding, Zhang Yiyi then said: "Putting it to death and then being born, isn't Old Man Qian afraid that the Qian family will disappear?" ”
Zhou Chu opened his mouth and replied: "Therefore, we haven't been able to see through the layout of Old Man Qian, and we don't know what the old man will leave behind." Speaking of this, after a pause, Zhou Chu raised his eyebrows lightly and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, the brothers of the Qian family saw through this and unscrupulously competed for the position of the head of the family. ”
Although Zhangjiabao is not a famous family and a century-old family, he has led the rivers and lakes for one or two decades, and he can also be called a big family. After a moment of silence, Zhang Yiyi changed her mouth and said: "The Qian family is one of the four great families, with business all over the world, and it is rich enough to rival the country, and now that the old man Qian is critically ill, it is naturally a competition between all parties, husband, who do you say the heavenly thorn traitor will choose?" Even though six years have passed, every time she thinks that Zhangjiabao was destroyed by the Heavenly Thorn, and that the eldest sister blocked the knife and died for herself, Zhang Yiyi's heart can't be calm, especially now that she has to fight with the Heavenly Thorn traitor, there is an unconcealable light in her eyes, cold and excited.
Zhou Chu noticed the change in Zhang Yiyi's demeanor, sighed in his heart, and said at the same time: "Tianthorn has always acted strangely, I don't know the result until the last moment, and it is impossible to speculate who Tianthorn will put the chips on, but he did not hesitate to cause a civil uprising to lead the seventh prince to Huainan, so that he had no intention of taking care of the Qian family, but we know that Tianthorn is bound to win for the Qian family, so we will wait and see how it changes." ”
Although Zhang Yiyi is a woman, she guessed that her husband Zhou Chu was going to fish and expected this game, and she also knew that it was the best way to wait and see what happened, so she nodded and didn't say anything more. Looking at his wife Zhang Yiyi's emaciated face, Zhou Chu's face was no longer calm, and he said with concern: "Yiyi, it's not early, you can rest first, I'll inform you immediately if there is any situation." ”
Listening to her husband Zhou Chu's concern, Zhang Yiyi showed a satisfied smile on her face, nodded and said, "Okay, you also rest early, don't be too tired." ”
The old house of the Qian family, although the Qian family's house is weak, Qian Changhai still knows that Zhou Chu has entered Huizhou, and he is sitting alone in front of his father's sickbed thinking about something. Although Zhou Chu's statement is not obvious, no one who knows this person dares to underestimate him. The Seven Princes are known to the world, but for the sake of Zhou Chu, the Seventh Prince insisted on keeping him by his side, eating and drinking for ten years, but even so, I haven't heard of what Zhou Chu did for the Seventh Prince.
In the silence, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, Qian Changhai frowned slightly, and he didn't know what was going on, so anxious. Soon, a young man in Tsing Yi ran in quickly, and said with a panicked face: "Young master, it's not good, the head of the family vomited blood and fainted, I'm afraid of ......" The latter words were not what he dared to say, and he hurriedly changed his mouth and said: "Young master, the second, third, and fourth rooms have all rushed over." ”
Should have been woken up by the screams of the little guy, Qian Lingyun actually opened his faint eyes and shouted, "Changhai." ”
Hearing his father's call, Qian Changhai found that his father had woken up, hurriedly leaned his head over, opened his mouth and said, "Daddy, you're awake." ”
At this moment, for some reason, it should be decades of father-son relationship, it should be an induction in the dark, Qian Lingyun suddenly had a bad premonition, it seems that the old father really can't hold on. Tremblingly, he waved his arm and grabbed Qian Changhai's palm, opened his mouth and said, "Take Daddy over." ”
Qian Changhai frowned slightly, as if he had expected something, but he still said: "Daddy, you are not in good health, don't ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Lingyun. Staring at Qian Changhai, Qian Lingyun shouted, "Take me over." ”
Seeing his father's rare appearance, especially the firmness in his tone, Qian Changhai sighed in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, the child is ready to go." ”
When Qian Changhai appeared in the compound carrying his father Qian Lingyun, everyone was stunned, staring at the eldest Qian Lingyun with shocked faces, but then the brothers reacted and walked up to greet him, just to see a few uncles shushing and asking for warmth, although Qian Changhai had a smile on his face, he had a trace of disdain in his heart. Now, my father was seriously injured and died, and it is impossible to inherit the position of the head of the family, there is no longer a threat to them, but one by one they want to win the support of their father. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Qian Changhai's eyes, because he always felt that his father's assassination had something to do with the three uncles, and he must find out about this matter.
Qian Lingyun was really hurt too badly, plus he was old, it was good to be able to hold on, he didn't have the strength to reply to the brothers at all, and occasionally nodded as an answer, but after a long time, he still showed a trace of tiredness, but at this moment, the door that had been closed for a long time opened, and the old housekeeper Li Li walked out, with an unconcealable sadness on his wrinkled face, seeing this, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they all went up to ask something, but Li Li just shook his head, walked to Qian Lingyun's side without saying a word, and said, "Young Master, the master wants to see you." ”
Suddenly, everyone was stunned, and under the gaze of everyone, Li Li walked into the house with Qian Lingyun and slammed the door shut, making everyone think about something without saying a word, the world was so silent.
