50,000 soldiers and horses moved quickly and quietly, occupying the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Bei'an City, and surrounded the mansions of the top ten families with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The ten great families have all disappeared in the past few days, and the hearts of those who were already panicked by the elimination of the elite secret guards became more and more frightened.

When the soldiers trapped the mansion, the people in the mansion suddenly became even more frightened.

The elderly head of the house didn't know what was going on, so he rushed out of the door to ask, and the soldiers were solemn and cold, without saying a word and having nothing to say.

The Cheng family, the Su family, and the people in the Huaiwang Mansion were more frightened than the other families, and they didn't understand why the outside of the mansion was suddenly surrounded by soldiers, and such a murderous aura seemed to make them feel the catastrophe.

It stands to reason that Bei'an City has always been under their control, with 30,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city, and they have recently strengthened their defenses, but where did these soldiers come from?

After Cheng Yao learned the news, he hurried to the door, and sure enough, he saw that there were soldiers on the inside and three layers outside, and he was afraid that there were as many as 5,000. He commanded to be questioned, but when no one answered him, the soldiers stood as dumb as they stood straight and slaughtered.

A staff member of the Cheng family followed Cheng Yao and said in fear, "It seems to be the soldiers and horses of the Jingguo Mansion in Bei'an City." ”

Cheng Yao suddenly raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and said, "Aren't all the soldiers and horses in the North obedient? How did you come to besiege the Cheng family? What's more, after the accident of the Anyang Army, I have already made people pay close attention to the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Jingguo Army and the Wuwei Army. ”

The staff member immediately said, "You can't be wrong about the humble position, and if you take a closer look, it will be the Jingguo Army." ”

Cheng Yao climbed up the wall along the ladder, poked his head out and looked out again, his face turned pale, "This is impossible...... Could it be that the people we planted in the Jingguo Army have defected? Or is something wrong? ”

The staff member shook his body and said, "The army of the three provinces in the north is deeply involved with us, if it is a defection, it is unlikely, after all, they are all guilty of killing the head, and it is about to be an accident, just like the Feng Lingwei in the mansion." ”

Cheng Yao's body shook when he heard this, and his legs trembled so much that he couldn't stand, "Yes, I should have thought that Feng Lingwei was eliminated overnight, not to mention that the people placed in the Jingguo Army and the Wuwei Army must have also been removed." ”

After Cheng Yao said this, he only felt that the top of his head was dark, and a sentence popped out of his mind, the Cheng family was afraid that it was going to be over.

He staggered towards Cheng Xiang's yard, and all along, Cheng Xiang, the old head of the Cheng family, and his father were his backbone.

Cheng Xiang also heard that the soldiers were besieging the Cheng family, and he was also terrified, he didn't expect someone to move so fast, and a few days after the elite secret guards of the top ten families were eradicated, there were soldiers and horses besieging the Cheng family. In the past few days, he has heard that there are heirs of major families missing, but the Cheng family has not appeared in this matter, and in the panic, he is thinking about the next countermeasures, while waiting for the people above to tell him what to do.

However, he didn't come up with a countermeasure, and there were no instructions from above, but he waited for the soldiers to besiege Cheng's house.

Cheng Xiang also felt that the Cheng family was about to end.

He is old, in this life, he has tasted everything he should have tasted, but the rest of the Cheng family's descendants have not tasted the various tastes of the first generation, his most beloved grandson Cheng Guzhi, is in the prime of life, both civil and military, the Cheng family is finished, and he can't run.

He couldn't help but regret a little, he shouldn't hesitate to find a countermeasure these days and wait for the people above to rescue, the most important thing he should do is to expel Cheng Guzhi from the house, at least, he can save him.

Thinking like this, he trembled and shouted to someone, "Come on, go and call Brother Gu." ”

Hearing that there were soldiers besieging the mansion outside, all the people in the mansion panicked, whether it was the master or the servants, they were all frightened. In the history of the Cheng family, since the founding of the world, nothing like this has ever happened, I have never experienced it, and I am even more afraid.

Although the loyal slave was also flustered, he still obeyed the old master of Cheng to call Cheng Guzhi.

Cheng Guzhi also heard about the outside world, but he was not alarmed, he was just uncomfortable, uncomfortable that the grandfather, father, and uncles who were about to face the dark and shady things had committed a big crime and had to be dealt with, these people, he couldn't plead, and he couldn't ask for this favor, Hua Yan promised not to punish the nine clans of the Cheng family, and he could exempt the innocent descendants of the Cheng family.

This is the best result for the Cheng family.

Cheng Guzhi stood in front of the window, these days, the sky has been cloudy, and the sun is rarely seen, and today is no exception, the sun is covered by clouds, faintly, and it can't fall to the ground. The late autumn wind outside is quite cold, and you can hear the slightest sound of the wind, blowing and falling leaves flying all over the sky.

The little maid who cleaned the yard had changed into autumn cotton clothes under his orders, but his face was still covered by the wind, and when he heard that the house was surrounded by soldiers, he threw his broom in fright, and shivered in the late autumn wind, and it seemed that autumn cotton clothes did not work.

After Cheng Xiang sent someone to shout, Cheng Guzhi retracted his gaze and said calmly to the visitor, "Tell grandpa, I'll go over in a while." ”

Seeing that Cheng Guzhi had no intention of going immediately, the man immediately hurriedly said, "The old master is in a hurry." ”

Cheng Guzhi nodded, "I know." ”

The man didn't expect the second son to be so calm, now the Cheng family's houses and courtyards have already been messed up, no one is calm, up to the old master, down to the servant, he walked all the way, messy, panicked and frightened, but only saw a different second son.

He thought, no wonder the second son will be liked by the old master, with this determination, no one can compare.

He turned around and went back to tell Cheng Xiang, his steps were much lighter than when he came, maybe it was the calmness of the second son that also infected him, making him less panicked.

Cheng Guzhi didn't go to Cheng Xiang immediately, and he didn't plan to go now, he could think of what his grandfather was looking for him to do, it was nothing more than taking advantage of the present to think of all ways to let him escape.

Until now, his grandfather would never have thought that he had betrayed the Cheng family, disregarded family affection, and became the unfilial descendant who killed his relatives in righteousness.

But until now, he has no regrets.

In this life, people will always have to make one or several major decisions, and his decision is to prevent the Cheng family from being punished by the Nine Clans, to protect the innocent people of the Cheng family from being implicated, and to leave roots for the Cheng family.

He knew that being besieged by soldiers now was only the first step, and he guessed that Hua Yan and Su Ziqi would soon come to Cheng's house. So, he waited for them to come before he went.

Hua Yan and Su Zi were not slow, after the soldiers besieged the top ten families, they didn't need two or three teas, they came to the Cheng family.

After seeing Hua Yan get out of the carriage, Su Zi stood at the gate of the Cheng family, looking at the hot stamping plaque of Cheng Mansion, there was no movement for a while, he slowly paced to her side, and also glanced at the hot stamping plaque of Cheng Mansion, and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" Can you see the pattern of this plaque? ”

Hua Yan turned around and smiled at him, "I'm not looking at this plaque from Cheng Mansion, I'm looking at the world's families." ”

Su Zi nodded, and said coldly with the wind of late autumn, "The world has been controlled by the family for a long time, and after the north opened a precedent for purging, this large piece of chaos in the world in the future, some of them were cut, and it was not so easy." ”

Hua Yan nodded, "Yes, it's not that easy, this is just a small opening, a knife, it's just a corner of the sky, this day is very big." But someone has to do it, otherwise, if it goes on like this, Nanchu will be finished. ”

Su Zi was noncommittal.

Hua Yan instructed An Sixteen, "Knock open the door." ”

An Sixteen should have been gearing up for a long time, raising his hand and giving an order, some soldiers avoided the besieged gate one after another, and used the logs of the giant wheel to jointly hit the gate. I only heard a boom and a bang, and the sound shook the sky.

In Cheng's house, after the soldiers besieged it, all parties and courtyards tried various methods, but found that they couldn't escape, so they gathered in Cheng Xiang's courtyard in a panic.

Cheng Xiang was waiting for Cheng Guzhi, waited for a long time, didn't see him coming, and asked someone again, "Why haven't you come yet?" Is he really in his yard? ”

Someone replied, "Go back to the old master, the second son is really in his yard, and he will come in a while." ”

Cheng Xiang waited for a while, everyone from the Cheng family came, all of them were pale and panicked, trembling, but he couldn't sit still, and when he went out, he was going to Cheng Guzhi's courtyard.

But as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he heard a knock on the door at the front door of the front yard, and his steps slammed.

A gatekeeper staggered over, saw Cheng Xiang, and shouted, "Someone is banging on the door, using siege wood." ”

Cheng Xiang's body shook and reluctantly asked, "What person?" ”

The gatekeeper shook his head, "I didn't see ...... clearly"

Cheng Yao stepped forward, kicked over the gatekeeper, and said angrily, "Useless things, who can't see clearly when they hit the door?" What do you want? ”

The gatekeeper lay on the ground, shivering.

Cheng Yao was just about to raise his foot again, but Cheng Xiang stopped him angrily, "When is it?" You're still throwing a tantrum with a subordinate? Let's go, let's take a look. ”

At this moment, Cheng Xiang couldn't care less about going to Cheng Guzhi.

Cheng Yao retracted his feet, suppressed the horror in his heart, and followed Cheng Xiang to the front yard with everyone.
