Chapter 29: Betrayal of Relatives +9
Zhen Xiaomei and the others didn't go far away, Zhu Hong's son Zhu Tianyou learned the bad news of his father's death from Zhu Hong's escaped guards.
He was in disbelief at first, and after getting the same answer after repeated questions, Zhu Tianyou finally gradually recovered from extreme shock and disbelief.
This time, he suddenly had a bad premonition that the sky was about to collapse.
Their Zhu family is a big family with a thriving individual, and the number of descendants and side branches together has long exceeded two hundred.
In order to compete for the position of the head of the family and the mayor of the town, Zhu Hong and a group of his brothers used their own means to fight into a group of black-eyed chickens.
Later, Zhu Hong won by a narrow margin and became the head of the Zhu family and the mayor of the town.
After that, he spent almost two decades rooting out those who threatened him, little by little.
He did this very secretly, but no matter how secretive he was, he shot more often, and those who had a heart could still see the clues from it.
And among them, naturally includes the sons of Zhu Hong's dead brothers.
Their father's death had plummeted their status in the clan, and they naturally hated the murderer.
In the past, Zhu Hong was strong and held great power, but in the absence of tangible evidence to nail Zhu Hong, even if they hated Zhu Hong in their hearts, they could only hold back on their faces and not let themselves reveal anything unusual.
But now that Zhu Hong is dead, and the mountain that weighs on their heads is gone, of course they have to take the opportunity to take revenge on their blood feud with Zhu Hong's family.
Zhu Tianyou, as Zhu Hong's chosen heir, is still very clear about what his father did secretly, so as soon as Zhu Hong died, Zhu Tianyou immediately realized that his situation was not good.
While gathering people under the banner of avenging Zhu Hong, he sent his henchmen to ask the Shen family for help.
In a hurry, Zhu Tianyou had already made the best response within his ability, but the subsequent developments still made him gradually fall into a passive situation without surprise.
He is still young, and his strength is very limited in every sense, not to mention the uncles and grandfathers in the clan, and he can't even suppress the guards and stewards left by his father.
Without his father's deterrence, all those who had been currying favor with him had changed their faces.
They are no longer obedient to him, and it is good to be passive and sabotage, and many people even blatantly throw themselves at those Zhu clansmen who have enmity with Zhu Hong.
Zhu Tianyou was angry, and the bad problems that he was used to when his father was alive came out again.
In the face of the guards who were obviously stronger than him, he pulled out his long sword with a hideous face and was about to kill, but those guards who were very docile and respectful in front of him before turned their faces collectively at the moment he drew his sword, and showed their weapons to him, the former young master.
Zhu Tianyou was dumbfounded, he didn't know what to do at all, he looked funny and pitiful when he was stunned.
Seeing his down-and-out appearance like a lost dog, the guards who had been angry with him before were very happy.
They exchanged glances with each other, and secretly discussed, whether they simply didn't do anything and kept going, which directly ended up Zhu Tianyou, the second ancestor who was useless.
At the critical moment, Zhu Tianyou's little follower, Zhu Jingtao, a side branch of the Zhu family, jumped out.
He didn't dare to go head-to-head with those guards, but he didn't want Zhu Tianyou to be pierced through his heart at such a time.
He smiled at Zhu Tianyou and those guards, "Young Master, what we should do now is to find out who the master's enemy is." We can't beat him, so can't the Shen family beat him either? ”
The words "Shen family" were very good at intimidating those guards who betrayed the master, they quickly glanced at each other, and then as Zhu Jingtao expected, they put away their weapons one after another.
After they left, Zhu Tianyou, who got a step from Zhu Jingtao, did not thank Zhu Jingtao for this.
After his personal safety was guaranteed, the first thing he did was to kick Zhu Jingtao hard.
"Are you smart? Don't you know that the most important thing to do now is to find out the murderer? "The problem is that someone has to listen to him!
It's a shame that his father took out a lot of money and food every year to provide those bastard things, and now his father's body has not been recovered, and those bastard things have actually been voted for him.
It's clearly a bunch of white-eyed wolves that can't be fed!
But he didn't want to think that people who came for profit would be easy to pursue profit again.
Especially the one who succeeded his father as the master of the house, it was still a high-flying and domineering second ancestor like him who didn't know much about his brain.
He felt that his father had done useless work, but those guards felt that his father was simply blind with a capital letter, otherwise he would not have chosen Zhu Tianyou, a thing that was incomprehensible, to be the young master of the Zhu family.
From their point of view, they feel that they are just a group of thugs who simply take money to work, and they are completely guilty of gambling their lives for Zhu Hong, the former owner.
Zhu Tianyou asked them to kill Zhen Xiaomei, what they wanted was not to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, but - the head of the family can't beat it, isn't it just to deliver food when we go up.
Anyway, now that Zhu Hong, who is the head of the family, is also dead, even if they are disobedient, with Zhu Tianyou's strength, he doesn't have the ability to kill chickens and monkeys and cut them down, so what are they afraid of?
Of course, if Zhu Tianyou is willing to spend a lot of money, then they can't consider helping Zhu Hong take revenge.
But the problem is that Zhu Tianyou doesn't have the consciousness of this group of people that "messing around is one price, and buying one's life is another price".
He took it for granted that since these people took their Zhu family's money, then they should honestly be their father and son's dogs.
However, the fact is that these people not only did not listen to him, but simply did nothing and went directly to his family.
Zhu Tianyou has never suffered this kind of anger since he was a child, but the situation is stronger than others, and he doesn't dare to provoke those guards who betray the master at this time.
But for Zhu Jingtao, Zhu Tianyou does not have all the above concerns.
Zhu Jingtao was born in the side branch of the Zhu family and is the cousin of the head of the family, Zhu Hongwei. His parents died early, and he got the "gift" of the head of the family Zhu Hong by virtue of his sweet mouth and extraordinary forbearance, and became the little follower of Zhu Tianyou, the young master of the Zhu family.
Of course, the little follower is just someone else's kind words, in Zhu Tianyou's eyes, Zhu Jingtao is a dog he can beat and scold at will, send at will, and come and go as soon as he is called.
For Zhu Jingtao, who has nowhere to go and can only rely on their father and son to live, he has never given any respect.
Perhaps because he is too fearless, even if Zhu Tianyou has fallen to the point where he is now, his attitude towards Zhu Jingtao is still unkind.
And Zhu Jingtao, as a black-hearted sesame bag who is extremely good at enduring humiliation and bearing weights, not only did he not show any negative emotions because of Zhu Tianyou's anger, but he also smiled and praised him along with Zhu Tianyou's words.
