Chapter 394: Father and Son Are Different
The weather in Northland is always changeable.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather took a sharp turn for the worse, as if it had just passed the middle of summer, and then ushered in the cold winter.
The window suddenly opened, startling the chirping birds outside the window, and a melancholy face bathed in the morning light.
Zhou Che put on a coat and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.
This is the Zhou family's mansion in the capital, which looks simple and natural on the outside, but is extremely luxurious on the inside. Like the old house of the Zhou family in the cold city, the aesthetics of the Zhou family are highlighted everywhere.
Zhou Che has been troubled for several days, and he hasn't even had a good holiday.
The ancestor sent him to Beijing to pin his hopes on him, hoping that he would be able to stop his father's immature behavior.
It's a pity that his father is the head of the Zhou family, and he is only the second son of the Zhou family.
Zhou Che rarely had this feeling of being powerless, but after he came from Fucheng, he was not happy everywhere.
Qin Xiang...... What a headache for a woman.
Zhou Che didn't want to be an enemy of the other party, rather than having one more enemy, it was better to have one more ally.
It's just that my father has been brainwashed by the gradually expanding power of the Zhou family over the years, and he has forgotten that the world is not the words of the Zhou family. Even if the Zhou family can influence the silk market in the entire south of the Yangtze River, it cannot affect the north. What's more, the influence of the Zhou family is not as huge as he imagined.
The Wu family's rebellion against the water and defection to Qin Ji this time is an important omen.
Unfortunately, my father couldn't see this clearly.
In his eyes, the Zhou family is in full swing, and sooner or later it will become the head of the imperial merchants.
"Father, the Zhou family is just an ordinary businessman, you can't help but ......"
Zhou Che shook his head, unwilling to judge his father too much.
Among the four imperial merchants, the Jin family rose to power because of Jin Guifei, and because Jin Guifei was defeated, how many people were waiting to see the Jin family's jokes. But Jin Porcelain undertook it with all his might, and successfully turned the Jin family into safety.
Such opponents should not be underestimated, but fortunately, the Jin family and the Zhou family operated the influence of the industrial household. Otherwise, if he had to face the golden porcelain, Zhou Che didn't dare to guarantee that the Zhou family would be intact under the opponent's attack.
"Second brother!"
The familiar voice brought Zhou Che back to his senses, and he frowned and saw a girl in red, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhou Pan wrapped his chest around his chest, snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What? The second brother doesn't want to see me? In order to meet my second brother, I even missed the good day to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home. It's really sad that you sneer when you meet. ”
To say that the most favored daughter of the Zhou family is not Zhou Pan.
Long before her, the Zhou family had several pairs of children. If it weren't for Zhou Pansheng's resemblance to Mrs. Zhou, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rank in front of others.
As for Zhou Che, he has always been smart, and he is often taken out by the head of the Zhou family to beat other heirs.
Above him, there was a brother and two sisters.
The elder brother was not born in the main room, but a general room of the head of the Zhou family, because his identity was not obvious, he rarely showed his face in the house.
And his two sisters are not inferior to men in their means.
The Zhou family is different from other families, although the status of women is not very high, as long as they are capable, they still have the right to compete for the head of the family.
In the words of the ancestors, regardless of men and women, as long as they can bring glory to the Zhou family, they are qualified heirs.
Therefore, although Zhou Pan is Zhou Che's own sister, he can also be regarded as his opponent.
However, Zhou Pan has no idea about inheriting the family business, her dream is to count on Zhou Che, her own brother, so as to help her earn a lot of money, so that she can continue to live a comfortable life today.
Therefore, when she appeared in the capital, it was no wonder that Zhou Che was puzzled.
"When I went out, I didn't know who said that I wanted to enjoy the flowers with my little sisters, and I didn't want to travel a long way......"
"Alright, alright." Don't expose it, Zhou Pan pulled Zhou Che's sleeve, "Second brother, I know it's wrong, you can forgive me this time." ”
"I don't know what's wrong with Miss Three."
"Hmph, you are a ...... person" Zhou Pan stomped his foot and glanced at him, "I'm still careful, and I'll bring you the words of the ancestor in person." ”
"What did the old ancestor say?" Zhou Che asked eagerly.
Zhou Pan glanced at his brother and pursed his red lips, "You...... Speak good things to me, and I'll tell you. ”
It's not easy to say good things, not to mention that Zhou Che is particularly talented in how to make Zhou Pan happy.
In only a quarter of an hour, Zhou Che got what he wanted.
"What do you mean......"
Zhou Panpao pulled the snack plate, and his eyes narrowed when he ate, "I'm usually so shrewd, why can't I figure it out now." Don't you understand? Daddy, he crossed the line. ”
Crossing the line? Zhou Che was stunned, and then smiled.
yes, it's out of bounds.
The forces of the Zhou family are all in the cold city, as if they are the soil emperor of the cold city. In private, it is not the only one who calls the Zhou family so.
Zhou Che was worried, if this continued for a long time, sooner or later it would cause trouble.
However, the head of the Zhou family is his father, and outsiders dare not comment on the decision-making of the head of the family. What's more, the Zhou family is indeed getting stronger and stronger under the leadership of his father. But none of these people paid attention to one thing, that is, since their father led the Zhou family, the Zhou family has crossed the line too much. Number One
Hancheng is the territory of the Zhou family, so no matter what the Zhou family does, the people above turn a blind eye. But the Zhou family has begun to get involved in other states and counties, so it's no wonder that some people can't bear it.
If Zhou Che was a superior person, he would never allow a person under his rule to threaten his people and affect his official fortunes.
I see...... He was so young that he had lost his eyes and forgotten the little threads in it.
"I see." He said, "Next, it's time to meet that Mrs. Qin." ”
Zhou Che thought well, but he didn't know that the subordinates of the Zhou family master thought more beautifully. There is no chance to start during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, I can't wait to make a move.
And Jin Qian, as a traitor who took the silver but failed to succeed, naturally became the first object of revenge for this group.
Han Mansion, Qin Xiang learned the news, but he didn't see much panic.
She had already sent her men to Qili Lane to protect Jin Qian's family, and even there were hidden piles around Sanheji, just waiting for the Zhou family to take the bait.
Qin Xiang doesn't care what these people are called, and whether they are all surnamed Zhou, but anyone who does things for the Zhou family will be the same as them.
killed a boatload of people with a stick, Qin Xiang was very skillful.
After all, she's good at protecting her shorts.
……
Zhou Laosan was not originally called by this name, and he was not surnamed Zhou. He is a thug of the Zhou family, and he is responsible for dealing with dirty things. As for his name, no one cares. Because everyone only calls him - Zhou Laosan.
He has been staring at the Jin family for a while, and it has been fifteen years since he followed Zhou Man to the capital. During this period, he did countless ugly things to maintain the surface of Zhou Man.
"Boss." Said the subordinate.
"The kid surnamed Jin hasn't been home for a long time, and the people around him haven't seen him, aren't we ......?"
Zhou Laosan glanced at the closed door of the Jin family, and sneered: "He has been hiding in Sanhe Ji, probably thinking that as long as this is the case, we will not dare to do it." I haven't heard of anyone who takes money and doesn't do anything, this kid is quite kind. Later, you will ......."
In the middle of the night, the Jin family had fallen into a deep sleep, not knowing that danger was approaching.
The closed gate was still closed, and dark shadows crossed the low courtyard walls.
Zhou Laosan looked at the firelight in the darkness and hooked his lips.
It is no longer necessary to threaten Jin Qian with the Jin family to do things for them, and the best time has been missed, so just wait. As for Jin Qian, this traitor, he must be disposed of.
Autumn is dry, a small spark is easy to ignite the house, every year in the city because of the accidentally falling spark at home, resulting in the tragedy of igniting the house.
"Well, it's a lucky thing to die in your sleep."
Zhou Laosan patted the indigo robe and waited for his subordinates to personally send the Jin family on the road.
He waited, waited......
Wrong!
Years of experience have alerted him.
It's so quiet around here.
Qili Lane is a slum area in the city, surrounded by many poor people. But at night, I didn't dare to make no sound. Not only was there no voice, but they didn't even hear the barking of dogs.
Not good! Hit the trick!
His breath became short, and he immediately decided to give up the Jin family.
As soon as Zhou Laosan raised his steps, a cold arrow grazed his ears and shot deep into the wall.
"This brother, you have to be careful of falling down after a long night."
The light of the sword, the shadow of the sword, the human voice, the shouting, the screaming, the blood......
Until the screams turned into heavy gasps, and under the screams squeezed out of the throat, there were black shadows that were tied.
Chen Wuliu yawned, and slapped the back of the knife on Zhou Laosan's cheek, "I almost let your kid run away, but fortunately I was prepared." ”
Zhou Laosan glared at him angrily, his teeth clenched.
Chen Wuliu glanced at him and smiled: "You don't want to kill yourself by taking poison, right?" The brothers have searched and you are not carrying poison on you. What's more, just to kill an ordinary family, it will not treat yourself as a dead soldier. ”
He didn't say that with the back of the Zhou family, he was really not qualified to raise the dead.
This is called Zhou Laosan's martial arts are really good, but they are all chores learned from outside, and they look quite bluffing, and they are all crooked. But if you really want to face the masters, you can only catch them.
"You want to bite your tongue and kill yourself? Brother, let me tell you, you can't kill yourself by biting your tongue. Even if you bite off the base of your tongue with all your might, in addition to feeling a sharp pain, it is a gushing blood. In this case, you will only bleed to death, not immediately. You'll struggle in pain, and it won't take you a quarter of an hour to die at the earliest. During this time, you may see the Soul Seducer, and you may regret all the bad things you have done in this life......"
Zhou Laosan was almost collapsed by Chen Wuliu's deep voice, and even if he was brought to Qin Xiang, he still couldn't come back to his senses.
Qin Xiang was woken up at night, and he was still a little thirsty and sleepy at this time. Looking at Zhou Laosan's virtue, he subconsciously looked at Chen Wuliu.
Chen Wuliuyi spread his hands and said innocent: "The subordinates just explained what the wife taught him, and he definitely didn't use the punishment, at most he verbally threatened him." ”
Although Chen Wuliu was a forbidden army before, he had never seen any means. Zhou Laosan would be a man with iron bones, but he was just a lackey of the Zhou family. is just a Zhou family, and it is not worth Zhou Laosan to fight for their lives.
No one wants to die, even the old man who is dying, he hopes to live longer. What's more, Zhou Laosan is young and strong, and he still has decades to live.
"The Jin family has been controlled, and Madame is interrogated."
