Chapter 131: The Nine Heavens (85)

The burning, killing, looting lasted for three days and three nights. Cen Guopu beat his chest but couldn't do anything.

Because he knew that ordering those soldiers who had killed red eyes and robbed their minds to put down their butcher knives at this moment would only provoke a mutiny. He could only take people to the palace of the Heavenly Sage Sect to see the losses everywhere, and when he arrived, it was also a sea of fire, Cen Jiu rode on his horse majestically, pointed at the burning palace with his waist knife and said: "Big brother, I didn't expect that the thief had already prepared, and most of the things in this palace were removed, so he could only pick up some leaks." ”

Of course, this Heavenly Holy Sect came all the way from the northwest of Guangdong and entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, even the things that fell from the fingers were enough to scrape the ground for a few days, and the remaining leaks in Cen Jiu's mouth were enough to carry more than ten big boats, and even the dragon robe and dragon crown of the Heavenly Saint Sect were transported back to the old house of the Cen family in one go.

The two brothers were bound to obtain the treasures in the Heavenly Saint Sect Palace, and their disagreement was only on whether to set up troops to loot for three days. Cen Guopu is greedy for money and wants a good reputation, Cen Jiu doesn't want face, as long as the money, the news of the three-day robbery spread, the outside world gave Cen Guopu a nickname called Cen Shaved Head, Cen Guopu became the focus of the impeachment of the officials, fortunately, the overall situation was initially decided, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Prince Cheng both tried their best to protect the Cen family brothers, this pass finally passed away so-so, and then Cen Guopu found that the official appointment of the entire Jiangnan Province was actually vacated by Cen Jiu.

Cen Jiu put all the henchmen and generals of the Cen family army into Jiangnan Province, if he does not agree, he will inevitably offend all the generals of the Cen family army, everyone will fight with him, don't they want to be promoted to get rich and seal their wives and sons? He himself planned to arrange it this way, but he didn't expect Cen Jiu to take the lead and sell this good out. Cen Guopu was like swallowing a fly this time, so he could only endure this breath, trying to find an opportunity to send Cen Jiuwai out. Unexpectedly, the imperial court quickly appointed Nan Yuntao to do the two Huai salt transports and come to Jiangnan Province to take up his post. On the day the appointment letter came down, Cen Jiu came to him and said that he had embezzled all the money on the salt business.

"What? All appropriated? What did you do? ”

Cen Guopu was furious and smashed the bowl in his hand at him.

Cen Jiu turned sideways to dodge, and the bowl fell to the ground with a clatter, and the lid slipped on the ground and spun in circles. Cen Jiuyi stepped on it, looking indifferent: "Anyway, it's not for my own use, it's already been transported back to our hometown with the ship, big brother, I'm also thinking about the overall situation of our Cen family." ”

"You...... You're really greedy, and you don't swallow elephants. ”

Cen Guopu hated not being able to slap him again.

"Big brother, what are we born and died, last time there were some bits and pieces in the Holy Sect Palace, not enough to stuff the teeth, fortunately there is still silver in this salt business, otherwise we will be busy for seven years, but we will not be busy in vain."

"What does it mean to be busy in vain? We have made great contributions to the imperial court and benefited the people of Jiangnan, and our Cen family is waiting for a double family, what a glory it is. ”

"For the benefit of the people of Jiangnan? I think the people of Jiangnan are all. The Heavenly Saint Sect has been eating to death, and there is no one who resists, the Heavenly Saint Sect has pitted them for so many years, and they don't dare to let go of their farts, we have only robbed it for a few days, and those who have complained about their grievances are all cheap bones. ”

"You know what? As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, they don't care who the one above the temple is. ”

After Cen Guopu finished speaking, he realized that he had slipped his mouth, and his face was gloomy.

"That's right, big brother, then since the common people don't care about anything as long as they live and work in peace and contentment, our brothers have soldiers, money and land in their hands, why do we have to listen to the two widows and children in the north?"

Cen Jiu said angrily.

"Shut up, you're a big rebel."

"Hehe, big brother, I see that you have done a lot of things in private, don't pretend at this time, we are a family."

Cen Jiu smiled mysteriously at Cen Guopu: "I have already arranged for Thirteen to make preparations over there, and I have to turn back halfway to the scared person surnamed Nan." ”

At that time, Cen 13 was doing business in the area of Hejian Mansion, and Cen Jiu wrote a letter instructing him to ask people to pretend to be ghosts at the post station to scare Nan Yuntao, Cen thought that Nan Yuntao was young and didn't have much ability, and he could scare people back by scaring him, and he didn't dare to come to Jiangnan Road to take office. Nan Yuntao's scholarly business, but he was very stubborn, and he was not frightened by the ghost, and when he arrived in Huai'an, he quickly found out that the salt was in deficit, Cen Jiu simply did not do anything, sent someone to strangle Nan Yuntao, and lied to the outside world that it was suicide.

Because the story of Nan Yuntao encountering a hanged ghost in the post station on the way to his post was widely spread, this incident was prevaricated by a powerful ghost asking for his life. Cen Guopu was obsessed with the secret book cultivation of the Heavenly Sage Sect for a while, wanting to live forever, taking yin and supplementing yang all day long, Cen Jiu was the first to cut and then play, and only came to report to him after killing Nan Yuntao.

Cen Guopu was furious and asked Cen Jiu what he wanted to do, and how this matter could end up alarming the imperial court.

"What are you afraid of, people are terrible ghosts asking for their lives, God knows what bad things he has done in the past, big brother, I find that your courage is getting smaller and smaller."

Cen Jiu looked him up and down, his eyes full of indifference. Because they are brothers, and it is a relationship of both prosperity and loss, Cen Guopu had no choice but to suppress the matter again, and then the imperial court's envoy soon came.

Cen Guopu didn't take these two Qincha in his eyes at all, a clan gentleman, a nobleman who had never been out of Beijing or a relative, what ability could he have? It's not that what he says is what he says, but he thinks that after these two Qin messengers come, the situation will be uncontrollable.

Strange things happened one after another, so the clan could see ghosts, and communicate with them, and what was even more terrifying was that the lotus official who had just fallen in love fell in love with the envoy, and he did not hesitate to fight against himself for the sake of this little white-faced Qin.

The situation that was messed up by Cen Jiu was messed up by the two Qincha. He was found in the secret passage of the corner tower, and several of the Ding furnaces that had been mined were released. Cen Guopu was annoyed and ashamed, he had always thought very highly of himself, he secretly learned the Heavenly Sage Sect's replenishment technique, and now everything was suddenly revealed, although he didn't admit it personally, but this was obviously done by the two marshals in the Shuaifu, all of which were slapping him in the face.

Cen Jiu's heart has changed, Cen Shisan's position is still not clear, the two Qincha are waiting to grasp their handles, Cen Guopu is thinking hard about how to solve this dilemma, someone came out to assassinate him. At that moment, he suddenly moved in his heart, why didn't he take advantage of this assassination, pretend to be seriously injured and bedridden, and let Cen Jiu and the two Qincha intrigue and fight each other, so that Cen Jiu could mix up the water, and he could also observe how many small actions Cen Jiu had in private.

Such a perfect plan was ruined by a mistake by Cen Lianguan.

Cen Lianguan took matters into his own hands and poisoned the Nan Niangzi, which resulted in the lonely soul and wild ghost taking advantage of the weakness to occupy her body.

"Daddy, are you feeling better?"

Cen Lianguan's soft voice brought Cen Guopu's thoughts back to reality, he nodded, and pinned a wisp of silk on his daughter's face behind his ear: "Okay, as long as you are well, Daddy will be free of any illness." ”
