Chapter 55 Sitting and Collecting Money

Yancheng Imperial Palace.

In the Praetorian Guard's mansion, in a side room, Deputy Commander Qin Zhan was reading an ancient book.

At this moment, a soldier quickly walked to the door, and then knocked on the door softly, and said, "Deputy commander, there are several masters of the Qin family outside the mansion, saying that there is something very important that they want to see you. ”

"Oh? Let them in. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier turned to leave, and a moment later, three old men in gray robes walked quickly to the door of the Qin War Room and immediately pushed the door in.

These three people are all elders of the Qin family, and they are one generation higher than Qin Zhan according to their seniority, but after the three of them saw Qin Zhan, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Seeing the respectful appearance of the three of them, Qin Zhan waved his hand lightly and said, "The three clan uncles don't need to be polite, why bother the three clan uncles to come to my mansion in person?" ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three old men changed, and they were faintly frightened, and one of them hurriedly said, "Qin Zhan's nephew, something has happened to the Qin family. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Qin Zhan was a little puzzled.

Today's Qin family, under his influence, has a rising status, and it can be said that it is the strongest force except for the royal family and the three major sects, how can something big happen?

However, the expressions of the three clan uncles in front of him didn't seem to be fake, which made him very strange, what big thing could happen to the Qin family?

The old man continued: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law were all beaten to death. ”

"What?"

Qin Zhan stood up suddenly, staring at the old man in front of him with his eyes, and a terrifying coercion swept out in an instant, and the desk in front of him turned into a pile of powder in the blink of an eye.

The three old men looked shocked, and the first one hurriedly explained: "It was a kid named Shen Lang who did it, this guy doesn't know where he came from, as soon as he entered the Qin family, he directly attacked the head of the family, and then killed his wife." ”

Qin Zhan's face turned pale, and he asked, "How is this possible?" My eldest brother is also a great immortal, how could he be so easily killed? Which force is that coming? Could it be that they were sent by the other three families? ”

The old man shook his head: "I haven't found out yet, but I just know that this person is here for the sake of homesickness, but no one expected him to suddenly burst out and kill people." ”

"Homesickness? Isn't that just a small family that doesn't go into the stream? There wasn't even a little immortal in the entire family, how could there be such a powerful master? Also, why did he kill my Qin family head and wife? ”

Qin Zhan's face was extremely gloomy.

The old man hesitated for a moment, but still told the whole story, after all, this matter is so big now, and it is impossible to hide it.

However, when Qin Zhan heard that it was because of his uncompetitive nephew, he immediately scolded angrily.

"This damn seed, I told them a long time ago, to discipline well, to discipline well, they just don't listen, and now they have caused such a catastrophe, they really deserve a thousand cuts."

Qin Zhan slapped the bookshelf on the side suddenly, and suddenly countless books instantly turned into powder, and the anger of the strong man was like a landslide.

After a while, Qin Zhan suddenly turned around and was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped and asked, "Is that person still in the Qin family?" ”

"Yes."

An old man hurriedly replied.

Afterwards, Qin Zhan went directly out of the house and turned into a rainbow and flew towards the place where the Qin family was.

At this time, the Qin family was full of notices and white lanterns, and dozens of banquets were also placed.

The invitation of the Qin family has already been sent, but what is written on it does not say that he was killed, but that the head of the Qin family and his wife died suddenly.

After receiving this invitation, many forces in the imperial city were also confused.

After all, Qin Ao and his wife are still very young, how could they suddenly die violently?

Therefore, with a curious attitude, those family forces who received the invitation all hurriedly set off to see what was going on in the Qin family.

And when they came to the Qin family, they were stunned for a while.

Because there are countless banquets inside and outside the courtyard of the Qin family, steaming dishes are still being served.

What is this operation?

Many of the people who came to prepare for the condolences were stunned, and the first thought of everyone was whether they had gone to the wrong place?

It wasn't until the Qin family's housekeeper came up to greet them that they reacted.

"Please sit inside, and after a while of condolences, everyone will take their own seats."

Steward Qin came to everyone and said with a complicated expression.

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, and one of them asked, "Steward Qin, what is this?" Why did the head of your Qin family pass away and still have a banquet? ”

"Yes, Steward Qin, what is written on the invitation is a funeral, how do you think you are doing the same as a marriage, what kind of trouble is this?"

Everyone spoke one after another to express their doubts.

However, Steward Qin sighed lightly and said, "It's hard to say!" Let's go to the mourning hall to offer condolences. ”

With that, Steward Qin turned around and prepared to leave, when suddenly he turned around and said, "You don't know if you have a spirit stone on your body?" ”

"Spirit stones? Why? ”

Many people are puzzled.

And Steward Qin wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say much, and turned around and returned to the mourning hall directly.

Everyone followed forward with a puzzled face, and then came to the gate of the mourning hall.

However, a table stopped in front of them.

On the table was a large fruit bowl filled with melon seeds.

And on the side of the plate, there is also a ledger, a young man is sitting there, holding a pen in one hand and an account book in the other, and when he sees everyone, he immediately laughs: "Yo! It's all coming, coming, everyone's lining up, coming one by one. ”

This person is naturally Shen Lang.

"Steward Qin, what is this for?"

A middle-aged man asked suspiciously.

Steward Qin paused, and stopped talking a little.

At this moment, Shen Lang took the initiative to step forward and said: "Everyone, please listen to the details below, this account book in my hand is called the gift book, which is specially used to register the person who gave the gift. ”

"Gift-giving? We only know how to receive gifts for happy events, why do we still have gifts for this funeral? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

It's not that they are reluctant to give gifts, but they don't quite understand what this custom is.

Hearing this, Shen Lang thought for a while and continued: "This one of you doesn't know, if the head of the Qin family is dying, then naturally there is no need to receive gifts, however, people who die violently have a lot of grievances, so they need to receive gifts to add joy and dilute their grievances." ”

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and then took out their treasures, spirit stones, and the like and handed them to Shen Lang.

Looking at the various treasures and elixirs in everyone's hands, Shen Lang simply smiled.

I saw that he quickly put away his belongings, and then wrote down the name of the person who gave the gift in the gift book, as well as the gifts he gave and so on.

Steward Qin on the side watched Shen Lang's operation, and the corners of his mouth twitched again and again.

This guy is really Tai Chi.

ran to someone's house and killed someone, and took the initiative to help someone's family organize a funeral.

The most bizarre thing is that he also uses other people's funerals to receive gifts, what kind of strange person would do such a thing?

After the group finished giving the gift, they followed Steward Qin into the mourning hall and began to mourn.

After a set of processes have passed.

An old man who came to offer his condolences suddenly asked, "Steward Qin, it seems that the young man just now is not from your Qin family, which force is he?" I don't think he came up with all these bad ideas. ”

Steward Qin's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "He is the one who killed my Qin family's head and wife." ”

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes widened instantly.

They feel like their minds are getting more and more foggy.

A great enemy who killed the head of the Qin family and his wife, not only did not escape, but also did not fight to the death with other strong men of the Qin family, but held wine and gifts in other people's homes.

What the hell is this strange person?

This operation is really earth-shattering!

At this moment, in the crowd, a middle-aged man suddenly shouted angrily and said, "Hmph! It's really too deceitful, I, Zhang, can't get used to this kind of guy who bullies people with power, so I'll go and screw his head off to pay tribute to Brother Qin's resentment of his vain death. ”

After saying that, the man's figure immediately flashed, and he slashed directly at Shen Lang at the gate of the mourning hall.

"Master Zhang, don't ......"

Steward Qin's face was horrified, and he was about to open his mouth to stop it.

But before he finished speaking, the body of the head of the Zhang family suddenly flew back upside down, but smashed directly on the mourning hall, his head burst, and even the fairy baby could not escape.

A generation of strong Zhang - pawn!

Shen Lang clapped his hands, then looked at everyone in the room with a smile, and said with a smile: "Everyone, if you want to stand up for the Qin family, you have to hurry up, after receiving the gift in a while, I will leave." ”

Everyone in the room was stunned, and no one dared to make a move.

Although the person in front of him only had a breath of the Imperial Qi Realm, he had just killed a little immortal with one punch, but he had seen it with his own eyes.

Suddenly, at this moment, a figure buzzed into the mourning hall, and then came directly to the two coffins.

The person who came was none other than Qin Zhan, the first strong man of the Qin family.

Seeing Qin Zhan come back, Steward Qin's face was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Second master, you are finally back, the master and the lady died so miserably!"

Steward Qin knelt down directly.

All his anger and grief were finally released at this moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Zhan to respond, he suddenly pointed at Shen Lang outside the door, and shouted: "It was this thief who killed the lord and the lady, not only that, but he also forced me to wait for a big banquet, and what kind of gift book to receive gifts, this is simply to use the funeral of the lord and the lady as a means of collecting money, the second master, you kill this thief and avenge the lord and the lady." ”

However, Qin Zhan was still unmoved, he just looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law in the coffin with a gloomy face, and looked at the two headless corpses, his eyes were cold and terrifying.

There was silence in the mourning hall.

At this moment, a thin old man with gray hair suddenly burst out, then clasped his hands into fists, and said with a righteous face: "Second Master Qin, I think this kid is too arrogant, in order to take care of the overall situation, I, Long Aotian, also asked Second Master to approve me to fight him alone." ”
