The lights of the Zhou Mansion were bright at night, and two big red lanterns hung under the gate, illuminating the doorway, and several housekeepers with sticks stood at the door.

At this moment, a man on horseback came galloping, and he turned over and dismounted, and immediately a man shouted, "Who are you?" Don't get close! ”

The knight took out an ivory jade plaque from his bosom, and the steward standing on the steps obviously recognized this jade plaque, waved his hand to stop several other family members, and arched his hand: "Please come in!" ”

The knight took back the jade plaque and strode into the Zhou Mansion.

Although the night was dark, Zhou Yang was still in the study, he was worried, pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and on the book, there was a letterhead, there was not a word on it, but it was stamped with a bright red seal: Liang Wang Yin.

Although there is no word, Zhou Yang knows that this wordless letter is a warning, and as for what the warning is, it is up to him to figure it out.

His secret investment in King Liang in the past few years has finally paid off, this wordless letter is very obscure, and the old politicians who have been rolling in the officialdom for many years will understand, no one knows the true meaning of this letter without putting themselves in their shoes, so Zhou Yang can't use this matter to blackmail King Liang, this is a hammer deal.

Zhou Yang sighed, it was impossible for King Liang to know about the fact that he had sent someone to Guozijian to rescue the King of Shu, otherwise he would definitely not warn himself, so the only possible thing was to remind himself that someone wanted to be unfavorable to himself and the Zhou family, so let himself be careful.

Who is it that is going to be bad for you?

Emperor?

Zhang Fu?

Could it be the Jia family?

It shouldn't be, after all, no one else knows about the Zhou family's assassination of the Lin family except Zhang Fu, as long as Zhang Fu is dead, this matter will be thoroughly understood.

It seems that it should be the emperor.

What to do?

Zhou Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.

At this time, the voice of the little maid came from outside, "Master, the young master is here." ”

"Huh? Come on in! ”

After a while, Zhou Kun hurriedly walked into the study, his eyes fell on the book, and then he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, Zhou Yang took the letter and spread it out, his face changed, he grabbed the letter, and asked Zhou Kun: "Is the news reliable?" ”

Zhou Kun nodded, "People take the Chaoyangmen waterway." ”

Zhou Yang's face sank, "It seems that this old thing has sensed the danger, and this is arranging a way out." ”

"Why did you send Zhang Yansheng away?"

"Because he doesn't threaten."

After groaning for a while, Zhou Yang turned his gaze to Zhou Kun again, "You take the opportunity to go out of the city and come back in a few days." ”

"Why?"

Zhou Yang retracted his gaze and handed the letterhead stamped with the seal of King Liang to Zhou Kun, "Take it out of the city." ”

Zhou Kun looked at the bright red and dazzling three seal characters, couldn't help it, and asked again, "Why?" ”

Zhou Yang just glanced at Zhou Kun, then looked out of the door, and sighed deeply, "I know that you have your own intelligence network, and you should have received the news, Xicheng is already in chaos, and there are thieves everywhere, hehe, this is Shenjing, Daming Jingshi, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where did so many thieves come from?" To put it bluntly, the emperor is taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, what a perfect excuse! ”

"Father is saying that the emperor wants to do something to our family!"

"Hmm."

Zhou Yang nodded heavily, and then said: "Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much, but, just in case, you better go out to avoid it first, and then go back to the city in two days." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Kun nodded helplessly, and then retreated.

Looking at the closed study door, Zhou Yang sighed deeply, turned around and took the wooden box placed on the bookshelf, opened the lid, lifted the yellow silk, and revealed the contents inside, a big seal, which was the official seal of the West Factory that Zhang Qianyan saw that day.

Zhou Yang stretched out his hand and rubbed the big seal in front of him, and muttered in his mouth: "Could it be that the emperor found .....?"

Zhou Yang's eyes closed slightly, sighed, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, time passed slowly, and suddenly, there was a scream outside.

"Peng!"

The door to the study was violently pushed open, and a group of people broke in.

Zhou Yang still had that calm demeanor.

Jia Fu was stunned, and for a while, there was an eerie silence in the study.

Zhou Yang opened his eyes, looked at the killer who was stunned, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to the person in charge: "The old man already knows the intention of the chief, the big seal is here, as long as you don't hurt the family scroll in the house, I will take you to get what you want." ”

Jia Fu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, and immediately closed his throat and screamed, "Where is the secret file?" ”

Zhou Yang smiled, "It's in the mansion, but if no one leads the way, the manager can't get in, and if you can't get the secret file, you won't be able to complete the errand, and I hope the manager can agree." ”

"Huh."

Jia Fu let out a penetrating laugh from his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, a personal soldier stepped forward to take the big seal placed on the book eucalyptus, looked at it carefully, and nodded to Zhou Yang: "Let's go." ”

Zhou Yang smiled surgingly, and stretched out his hand, "Without a token, how does the old man know if you are from the palace?" ”

With a snort, Niu Er pulled out the saber on his waist, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Jia family rushed in outside the door of the study.

A sword flashes together!

Jia Fu waved his hand, took out a jade plaque from his arms and shook it, then turned around and walked out.

Zhou Yang's eyes shrank slightly, although he didn't read the words on the jade plate clearly, but he knew the jade plate, which was the identity jade plate only owned by the manager of the West Factory, and there was one in the secret room of the Zhou Family Buddha Hall.

After a while, the group walked to the backyard, and halfway through Zhou Yang saw the night watchman who was guarded in the corner by the man in black with his weapons confiscated, and there were several corpses lying on the side.

In the distance, you can see the lights of the Buddha hall flickering.

Zhou Yang stopped, turned his head to Jia Fu and said, "It turns out that you have already found out, and your people are not moving!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said again: "It doesn't matter if you move, the first organ is not fatal in order to be able to catch the live mouth." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Niu Er scolded in a low voice: "Old thing! ”

Jia Fu turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and a group of people followed Zhou Yang towards the Buddha Hall.

Sure enough, the pro-soldiers who searched the Buddha Hall all withdrew from the room, and there were two pro-soldiers lying inside, Zhou Yang said with a smile: "They touched the mechanism and were stunned by the smoke that came out." He strode in.

Niu Er stepped forward and touched the necks of the two pro-soldiers, turned around and gave Jia Fu a look that was okay, at this time, there was a sound on the side, it turned out that Zhou Yang had opened the secret door.

This is a secret room slightly smaller than Zhou Yang's study, and the walls are full of bookshelves, on which are all kinds of books, Niu Er said to Zhou Yang who was smiling: "You are advanced!" ”

"Don't worry, there's no mechanism in there."

Zhou Yang pointed to the mechanism on the side and said, "Every time this door is opened, it can only last for tea, and I want to guard it here." ”

Niu Er said angrily: "We have someone, we don't need you to watch." ”

Zhou Yang had no choice but to follow Niu Er towards the secret room.

The blazing torches and bright lanterns illuminate the entire courtyard outside the Buddha hall.

Listening to the muffled snorts and screams coming from the backyard, Zhou Yang finally had a trace of panic on his face.

Jia Fu had already taken off his hood, and Zhou Yang exclaimed, "You.... You're not from the palace? ”

"Does it still matter?"

Jia Fu said sarcastically.

Zhou Yang knew that the big thing was not good, so he scolded in his heart: "Presumptuous! Who are you and who are you? ”

Niu Er looked up to the sky and laughed, "Old thing, when you are dying, you still put your official master on the shelf?" ”

Zhou Yang: "As long as you let go of the old and weak women and children of the Zhou family, I will give you money, a large sum of money, enough for you to be prosperous and rich for two lifetimes!" ”

Niu Er slapped Zhou Yang with a backhand, making Zhou Yang dizzy!

Jia Fu sneered, "Zhang Qianyan, Mr. Zhang asked me to take him to say hello to Master Zhou." ”

"What do you mean? You, who the hell are you...."

Hearing this, Zhou Yang was in a trance for a while, suddenly reacted, and asked loudly, but before he finished speaking, his head was cut off by Niu Eryi.

"Commander Jia, there is news from the front street, there is a team of people and horses running towards the Zhou Mansion, quickly retreat!"

At this time, a personal soldier hurriedly came and said urgently.

Niu Er: "I haven't found Zhou Kun yet, you go first." ”

Jia Fu knew that things had changed, and ordered: "Zhou Kun is not here, and the rest of the women and children don't have to be dealt with, so they should withdraw first." ”
