Huaizhong Town Zhao family, Huaizhong Town main street on more than half of the houses belong to the Zhao family's private house, the two stone lions at the gate are comparable to the size of ordinary carriages, the garden is a rockery as a screen, the long lake is connected to the flower garden, pavilions and pavilions, carved buildings and paintings, everything is available, you can only feel the size of the Zhao Mansion when you look at it outside, enter the Zhao Mansion, you can understand how the luxury of the family is to let ordinary people look up.

A group of small maids were busy pruning the pine branches in the garden and watering the flowers, and everyone looked terrified, lest they accidentally cause a murderous disaster. Zhao Yuan, the head of the Zhao family, was angry, and the valuable vases in the lobby were thrown by him several times, and he had just killed a maidservant, and the corpse was thrown directly into the lake to feed the fish.

Zhao Qian's body was brought back to Zhao's mansion by Hu Cang, and immediately a flying pigeon sent a message to Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan was originally in the nearby Quchang City to discuss the issue of this year's new rice listing, and heard that his only son Zhao Qian had an accident, so he hurried back to Zhao's house from Quchang.

In the study of the Zhao family, as soon as you enter the door, you can see the handwriting of the famous mainland artist Lu Yuan, and a huge "Jing" word dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the Taishi chair. Zhao Chichuan, the old lady of the Zhao family, leaned on the Nanmu chair, supported his forehead with one hand, squinted at the two people below without saying a word, Zhao Yuan was worried in his heart, and he didn't know the old lady's thoughts. Hu Cang's eyes drooped, he had already said what he had to say, what to do next, it was up to the old man above to see what he meant.

There was a thick file on the desk, which contained information about Hu Qingyun, and even the information of Hu Qingyun's ancestors for three generations was in this file.

Li Yu's information is only a few words, "The martial artist of the pneumatic realm is very deeply hidden, and the fists and feet are a bit from the Li family in Qingyuan, and it is suspected that Li Yu, the daughter of the head of the Li family." ”

Hu Qingyun didn't have anything to worry about Zhao Chichuan, his ancestors were ordinary people, and finally came to Hu Qingyun's father's generation and did some hard work, Hu Qingyun had the opportunity to study, but he also worked hard and won the first place in the township exam, which was meaningless to his Zhao family. What he cares about is Hu Qingyun's wife, at least the female martial artist of the Pneumatic Realm, similar to the fists and feet of the Li family in Qingyuan, could it really be Li Yu who has been missing from the Li family for more than ten years?

Zhao Chichuan suddenly laughed, the Zhao family and the Li family are feuds, the secret of Huai Zhongzhen can be known by the Zhao family, the Li family may know more than him, a good Li Jinheng, planning is long-term enough, and he is worthy of being called a wise and demonic figure by the world.

The more Zhao Chichuan thought about it, the happier he became, and laughed out loud, even if he was as strong as Li Jinheng this time, he would win this game.

Hu Cang and Zhao Yuan, who were standing in the hall, were interrupted by the sudden laughter, and the two looked at each other, neither of them knew why the old man with an unpredictable temperament suddenly burst into laughter, could it be that Zhao Qian died well? Hu Cang guessed that Zhao Yuan was indignant, and he was still immersed in the pain of losing his son, didn't the old lady like Zhao Qian the most, what was going on?

Zhao Chichuan looked at Hu Cang, who lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and said with a pleasant face: "Elder Hu, the old man has always respected you as a person, and now that Zhao Qian was beaten to death accompanied by you, I'm afraid that this matter will not be good for Elder Hu and your Changhe Gang, right?"

Hu Cang's eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he said lightly: "Old lady, it took Sun Yiyi to go his own way and not listen to advice to cause such tragic consequences, your Zhao family has been operating in Huaizhong Town for many years, and there is a martial artist in the pneumatic realm under your nose who is not clear?

Zhao Chichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, knocked lightly on the table, and said with a faint smile: "Elder Hu, although my Huaizhong Zhao Family Temple is small, there are still three points of territory, how did I hear that Elder Hu has been quite close to some mountain immortal families recently, don't you think that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and your Changhe Gang will be the master? I don't know if my Zhao family knows about this, isn't it hot for your Changhe Gang to hold the silver for so many years?"

Hu Cang raised his eyes and looked directly at this old man who was over the age of old, his heart was flooded with monstrous waves, his face was ancient and waveless, and he smiled bitterly: "Old lady, Hu doesn't want to shirk responsibility, if that woman is really Li Yu of the Li family, then this matter is not up to Hu alone, and I ask the old lady to forgive me." ”

Zhao Chichuan said with a smile: "Elder Hu doesn't have to blame himself, I don't mean to blame you, you have a good rest in the Zhao Mansion, and there are some things that will trouble you in the future." ”

Zhao Yuan waited for Hu Cang to retreat, and said angrily: "Old lady, look at him like that, just let him go?" What kind of grandmaster of the first generation, he can't even beat a woman, it's the Qian'er he killed, and he still wants to leave it alone." Old lady, I have assembled the candidates, just wait for your order, I don't believe that slut can still have three heads and six arms? Let this surnamed Hu atone for his sins and take the lead ......"

Zhao Chichuan interrupted Zhao Yuan and said angrily: "Enough, scatter those people." Qian'er ended up today, you, the father, have no responsibility, do you really think that Huaizhong Town is our Zhao family? Do you know why I stayed in such a place where birds don't for decades? Use your brain, not everything has to be solved by fighting and killing. Before Zhao Yuan could say more, the old lady waved his hand and began to close his eyes to recuperate, so he had to retreat abruptly.

Zhao Yuan has always claimed that the old lady Huaizhong Zhao family is a branch of the Leyang Zhao family, but Zhao Yuan has always been reluctant to admit it. Zhao Yuan followed the old lady to go around since he could remember, and sleeping in the open was commonplace, and he was not less looked down upon, and later Zhao Chichuan gained a foothold in Huaizhong Town, starting from scratch, so that there was a scene of half Huaizhong surnamed Zhao today, and the Zhao family in Leyang County he had never seen anyone help them once.

By chance, I heard the old man in the house chatting with the old lady and knew the old lady's origin. The old lady Zhao is not a descendant, and the rule of the Zhao family is that as long as he is a concubine, he has to work hard outside alone before he can be included in the Zhao family tree again, so the old lady has been thinking about adding the name back to the Zhao family tree all his life, even if the old man is now a well-known person in Huaizhong Town, he has never thought of changing the court.

Zhao Yuan was extremely puzzled by this, he Huai Zhong Zhao family was also a big family with a head and a face, no matter how powerful the Zhao family was, wouldn't it be good for him to be in charge of his own affairs? Zhao Yuan was puzzled. Another reason is that the Huai Zhong Zhao family is really going to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, what is he, the current head of the family? So he doesn't want this to happen anyway, even if it's an old lady and grandfather.

He is not afraid of what Zhao Chichuan can do, but how to explain to the Leyang Zhao family is troublesome, Changhe has helped the Zhao family over the years, but the support of the Zhao family is indispensable, and even the Li family in Qingyuan is against the Qingyuan Li family, if he really angers the Leyang Zhao family because of this matter, needless to say, Hu Cang will be directly taken out as a substitute for the dead ghost, even if he is now a great elder.

The Li family in Qingyuan and the Zhao family in Leyang are rivals, up to the court, down to the rivers and lakes, everything is indisputable, it has not stopped for hundreds of years, and the two families are both big families, and no one can easily help anyone, but they pity the small families of the two vassals, and the life of survival in the cracks is not good.

Hu Cang rushed from the Changhe Gang in Leyang County to this small Huaizhong Town, but he didn't travel the rivers and lakes on a whim. The reason why he Changhe Gang is willing to be the first bird this time is not completely to be a gunman for the Zhao family in Leyang, he is the master of the Changhe Gang and secretly hitched a ride on a certain mountain immortal family in the Yanhui Mountain Range, after all, the Changhe Gang is a Jianghu sect, and if there is a chance to catch the cultivator's boat, he will naturally spare no effort, after all, the Zhao family is a few points weaker than the Li family, plus the wisdom of Li Jinheng, the head of the Li family. When the landslide is reached, how can he retreat from the Changhe Gang?

Hu Cang recalled this period of experience, and felt that he did not show the slightest trace, how could he be pinched by Zhao Chichuan? After a little review, Hu Cang thought of a possibility, brushed down in cold sweat, and smiled bitterly, if this is the case, the Changhe Gang may not even have the qualifications to be used as a gunman.

If that woman is Li Yu of the Li family, then the Li family has already started to lay out many years ago, and the Huaizhong Zhao family has also taken root here decades ago, and there is a blacksmith shop surnamed Song in the town, and the shopkeeper of an inn is surnamed Song. Now it seems that several major families in Daqing have laid out in Huaizhong Town, and their plans are so far-reaching, this time he Changhe helped catch up with the immortal family on that mountain, isn't it also a game?

The more Hu Cang thought about it, the more he was afraid, the muddy water in Huaizhong Town was much deeper than he imagined, and the Changhe Gang was not even a big ant compared to these big families. It's a pity that there is no turning back now, so I can only take one step at a time.

Hu Cang sighed, he was not afraid of death, he was also a wave of people who stood at the top of the rivers and lakes, and he had experienced the great scenery. It's just that when the manpower is poor, if what he thinks is true, the cultivator's foresight and the background of the family are the real source of his fear.

Taoqi pawnshop on Yueqing Street in Huaizhong Town, a dilapidated wooden door shows that this pawnshop has existed for many years, and some shabby things in the store are not worth a few dollars, a lean old man leaned lazily against the wooden door, and threw a peanut into his mouth to chew.

The old man muttered while directing another black and strong young man to carry things: "It looks like five big and three thick, it's not as good as the little old man and my strength, and I don't know who the people sent by the family are distant relatives surnamed Xu? No, this is not a fat difference." ”

There was a person walking from afar, it was Tu Xinfan, the thin old man threw another peanut into his mouth and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this Brother Tu? What kind of wind blew you here? I am a pawnshop, and the medicinal herbs are over there." ”

Tu Xinfan approached and said with a smile: "Don't talk to me poorly, what's the matter? Just charge you for the high price of the medicine back then, and have been angry with me for so many years? Li Qi, you are so picky, why are you still guarding a broken pawnshop and not seeing you promoted and make a fortune?"

Li Qi said angrily: "Go and go, don't show off in front of me, I will be upset when I see you, you charge me fifty taels of silver for a piece of medicine, why don't you go and rob it? ”

Tu Xinfan laughed and said, "You call me, aren't I here? It's really upsetting you today, look at what this is?"

Tu Xinfan took out a wooden nameplate and handed it to Li Qi, Li Qi looked at the wooden plate with a serious expression, and then looked at Tu Xinfan suspiciously, Tu Xinfan smiled and waited, Li Qi exhaled, and asked Tu Xinfan to come and invite Tu Xinfan into the house.

Li Qi waited for Tu Xinfan to stand still, and said respectfully: "Li Qi of the Foreign Affairs Hall pays a visit to Master Tu. ”

Tu Xinfan hurriedly hugged Li Qi and said: "Hey, you old man, you have to be more serious with me here, you and I have known each other for many years, what kind of person I am, you still don't know? ”

Tu Xinfan took out another letter and handed it to Li Qidao: "This is a handwritten letter from the head of the family, what are your plans to talk to me after reading it first?"

After reading the letter, Li Qi frowned and said, "I mean, why did you suddenly send me additional manpower, no wonder this is the case." The letter from the head of the family seems to mean that the young lady wants to return home, and he wants us and the others to leave together, shouldn't this be, is it just to give up the layout for many years? I'm confused now, what the hell is going on?"

Tu Xinfan nodded and said: "The meaning of the head of the family is very obvious, he wants us to all return to the Li family in Qingyuan with the young lady, and no one will be left." I don't really understand this, but the head of the family must have a deep meaning in this plan, so we just have to do it. And Miss killed Zhao Qian yesterday, the Zhao family is afraid that they will not give up, after all, this is far away from the house, you have to make some preparations in advance, so as not to cause complications on the way home for Miss. ”

Li Qi laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, Miss is still the same temper as she was back then, Zhao Qian, the king of the eight lambs, I have long been displeasing to my eyes, if it weren't for his duty, he would fall into my hands, I will teach him to know how happy it is to die happily, how can I bother Miss to do it? ”

Tu Xinfan said worriedly: "Don't talk about this, what I'm worried about now is how we should deal if Miss insists on not leaving?" The head of the Hu Qingyun family has not made other arrangements, I have a relationship with him, there must be a lot of right and wrong this time, he is the father-in-law of Miss after all, I don't worry about him staying here alone, the affairs of the Zhao family are not over, I will go back to the Li family after I settle down here, and you will take care of it all the way east." ”

Li Qi nodded and said: "That's fine, Hu Qingyun is a weak scholar, if there is really any situation, you can also help take care of one or two, you can rest assured that the head of the family will help you intercede, as long as the young lady returns home, you will not be punished for this." ”

After Tu Xinfan left, Li Qi fumbled with the nameplate in his hand in a daze, the nameplate was made of the rhizome of a thousand-year-old iron tree in the Qingyuan master's house, engraved with the family emblem and family motto on the front, and engraved with the name and function on the reverse, there is no possibility of counterfeiting.

Li Qi's thoughts couldn't calm down for a long time, he and Tu Xinfan knew each other for decades, and only today did he know that the two of them worked for the Li family. Li Qi calmed down, the head of the family's mind was like an abyss unfathomable, fortunately, he Li Qi was working under such a person instead of being an enemy, it was terrible to think about. It's just a pity that these guys who have been with me for decades, this farewell, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eat Wang Cuihua's white, tender and delicious tofu.

"Hey, it's a pity!" Li Qi sighed, threw out a peanut and raised his head to catch it, only to feel that the sunset was infinitely better, and the dusk was still early.

In the study of Zhao's mansion, Zhao Chichuan was closing his eyes to recuperate, and someone quietly approached and shouted, "Master, there is a message from the master's family." ”

Zhao Chichuan opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Oh, I guess it's almost there, master, read it to me." ”

After listening to the letter, Zhao Chichuan laughed and said, "Li Jinheng, I won this game." Master, let's go and have tea with Elder Hu. ”
