Chapter 66: The Young Patriarch of the Hou Family
"Wife, be quiet, this is a big deal. β
Hou Zhi covered his wife's mouth, but his voice was not small, Butterfly Ruhua's eyes lit up, and Chen Qing and the three of them made a move at the same time, that is, they reached out to wipe the sweat from their heads.
"The business is indeed not small, and we will need the help of our younger brothers and sisters when the time comes, so let's talk about it in the house. β
"Okay, I'll go prepare the food and drinks, and you brothers will go to the house and talk first. β
Butterfly Ruhua is resolute, after finishing speaking, she opened the door and went to buy vegetables, such a big house, there was not a single servant, so that Chen Qing and the others all looked at Hou Zhi, and Chen Qing was even more dissatisfied with his mouth.
"What's going on? Aren't you valued in the clan? Someone is bullying you?"
"It's much better now, it's my wife who is a little thrifty and doesn't want to hire people, since I met a few brothers, I have a little bit of a secret, and I don't have to worry a lot. β
Chen Qing nodded, but the conversation changed, "You have to learn to be served, learn to be a real young master of a big family, and work hard to learn how to be a good patriarch, the Hou family is yours sooner or later, and those who stand in the way will have to die." β
One sentence made Hou Zhi's mouth open wide, Chen Qing said it was like a hall away, Shi Jingtian and Jiang Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and agreed with Chen Qing's words, how can their brothers be subservient to others, the Hou family must be waiting for sooner or later. Being pinned on by the three of them, Hou Zhi was inevitably a little excited in his heart, and after taking a few deep breaths, he walked into the house with a determined face, but then his face was bitter, learning to be the patriarch, the difficulty is not ordinary!
Not long after, Die Ruhua came back with a big basket of wine, meat and vegetables, this woman is a good cook, when she went to the kitchen to help, she said the eldest brother's request, which made her a little painful, gritted her teeth, and ran out to buy ten people back, so she served Chen Qing and a few people.
Eating and chatting, there were people present, Chen Qing and the others didn't say much, just listened to Die Ruhua boldly introduce the situation in the city, but they didn't expect that there was a shouting voice outside the door.
"I heard that Hou Zhi is back, and he hasn't come out to see me yet. β
"Damn, when I bought someone, I met Hou Laosi, and I knew that it was no good, a few brothers were eating, and I went to deal with him. β
Die Ruhua looked angry, threw down the chopsticks and was about to go out, but at this time, Chen Qing's words came, "Don't go, let Hou Zhi go, you can't deal with a single miscellaneous fish, how can you have great achievements in the future." β
Butterfly Ruhua habitually wanted to refute Chen Qing's words, but fortunately she woke up immediately, and looked at Hou Zhi with some worry, and it didn't take long to hear the noise outside, it turned out that Hou Lao Si came to the door to blackmail, and the lion opened his mouth wide, and opened his mouth to borrow 10,000 soul coins.
"Sue sΓΉ wait, give him 20,000 yuan, and smash him in the face with money. β
It was still noisy outside, Chen Qing directly gave an order to Die Ruhua, the distressed Die Ruhua's face was cramping, Jiang Wei smiled and threw her a storage ring, but Die Ruhua didn't pick it up, and ran to the bedroom a little hideously to carry a big box and went out, inside was two hundred yuan stones, and then there was the sound of waiting for the fourth child to be smashed by money.
It didn't take long for Hou Zhi and Die Ruhua to walk back with a happy face, Die Ruhua picked up a large glass of wine and drank it, and stretched out her thumb to Chen Qingyi, "Big brother's idea is really good, smash people with money, that feeling is so enjoyable!"
"Hmph, it's better to smash people with money than to kill them. Jiang Wei, arrest Hou Lao Si at night, I am useful. β
In a word, it was doomed to the fate of Hou Laosi, smashing people to death with money, and it was considered a golden rule by Hou Zhi, and he remembered it deeply in his heart, and the pleasure of smashing people with money made him experience it for the first time in his life.
In the middle of the night, a sack was carried back by a bloody corpse, and as the sack was opened, a man who was gagged and looked frightened, and there was a large bag smashed out of the Yuan Qi Stone on the door of his head.
In the secret room, when he saw that it was Hou Laosi, he was beaten up, but Chen Qing stopped him from slapping his face, so he had to kick him wildly and get angry.
Seeing that he had enough, Chen Qing took out a soul probe needle that was refined with the power of soul destroying, and a terrifying scene appeared for the rest of the people, only to see Chen Qing ignore Hou Laosi's struggle, the whole soul probing needle was inserted into the back of his head, and the painful Hou Laosi rolled all over the ground, and then Chen Qing untied the rope and took out the cloth in his mouth.
"Meet the master. β
When the fourth child knelt in front of Chen Qing, several people in the secret room felt that their sweat pores were exploding, and the others were better, knowing Chen Qing's horror, they were so frightened that their legs trembled.
"The commandment that awaits here is my command. β
"Obey the master's decree and meet the second master. β
When Hou Lao Si knelt in front of Hou Zhi, Hou Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and his legs were a little trembling, and he sighed that he was fortunate to be Chen Qing's brother, otherwise he would give himself a shot, and the consequences would make people shudder.
"Okay, let's do it tonight, and I'll come according to the plan. β
Chen Qing's words made several people nod in unison, Hou Zhi took Hou Lao Si out first, and Die Ruhua led Chen Qing and a few people out of the back door, going straight to the direction of the Hou family's ancestral tomb.
In the middle of the night, there were still patrols passing by in the city from time to time, and Hou Zhi and Hou Lao Si pretended to be drunk, and walked towards the ancestral tomb with their shoulders on their backs. Chen Qing and the others hid in the grass not far from the ancestral tomb along the large and small alleys, evading the patrols.
"This waste wood actually came up with such a nasty trick!"
Hou Zhi and Hou Laosi's task is to attract the guards of the ancestral tomb, so that Chen Qing and the others can follow the lì to guò, but they don't think that this Hou Zhi is bad enough, and they actually ordered Hou Lao Si to dance, which is attractive enough to make all the night guards run over to watch. With Butterfly Ruhua's low curse, Chen Qing and the others snickered and ran into the graveyard that could not be seen, and quickly passed along the path in the cemetery, until they ran to the small hill in the southeast corner. Not long after, Hou Zhi also ran over, leaving Hou Lao Si to dance by himself.
In front of the hill, Chen Qing turned around carefully, and when he saw a piece of bluestone sticking out of the ground, he smiled, drew his knife and slashed at it.
A knife down, did not cut the bluestone, after a few consecutive knives, as the stone fell, a rusty short sword appeared in front of people, only to see Chen Qing pull out the short sword, and came to the back of the hill bag, there is a bluestone slab lying on the ground here, there is a groove on the bluestone slab, Chen Qing inserted the short sword into the groove, as soon as he turned the hilt, with the sound of the gear turning, at the bottom of the hill bag, there was a black hole exposed.
"Boss, you're really godly, how did you know there was a hole here?"
"You talk a lot of nonsense, don't ask what you shouldn't. β
There was no need for anyone else, as soon as he asked this, he was counted down by his wife, Chen Qing didn't pay attention to it at all, but was the first to run into the cave, kicked the stone door in the cave and ran in, and the others hurriedly followed.
"Close the stone door. β
With Chen Qing's low drink, the concentric corpse behind the hall closed the stone door, Chen Qing took the night pearl to illuminate, and walked to a pile of items, these things were covered with a large piece of animal skin full of dust, and the animal skin was violently lifted by him. The brilliance almost blinded people's eyes. It was a large pile of various jewels and vitality stones, and more than a dozen large boxes. Under the light of Huaguang, several dusty piles of soul coins and vitality stones also appeared in front of him not far away.
Butterfly Ruhua's eyes were about to pounce, this time it was Hou Zhi's turn to stop her, glared at her dissatisfiedly, and then pouted and motioned for her to look at the others, only then did Die Ruhua find that no one had moved, waiting for Chen Qing to take things first. Chen Qing ignored these treasures, but swept around with some disappointment, and after discovering the secret door in the corner of the cave, he was overjoyed and strode over.
"In the box are horcruxes and ores, take as many as you want, and give the dragon skin to Hou Zhi to invite merit. β
Chen Qing, who opened the secret door, took out a small dusty box from it and put it away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the people to divide the spoils, but he had no interest in those treasures.
"Dragonskin?"
A low scream came out of people's mouths, some covered their mouths after screaming, and some simply bit their hands directly, the blood corpse was even more exaggerated, and directly picked up the piece of skin that was still on the side of Chen Qing's garbage, and handed it to the mouth of the Tongxin corpse, the Tongxin corpse rolled its eyes, opened its fangs and mouth, and bit it fiercely.
"Boom!"
There was a crisp sound, and the concentric corpse let go of its mouth, then rubbed its mouth, and directly spit out two teeth, and then saw that the piece of skin was undamaged. The bloody corpse directly pretended to faint and lay on the ground, and stretched out his thumb to Chen Qing.
"Stop making a fuss, hurry up. β
As soon as the words fell, the people hurriedly acted, one by one, and after closing the entrance to the cave, Chen Qing handed over the short sword to Hou Zhi for safekeeping, and several people secretly returned to the city.
He touched his heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, and touched the storage ring on his hand. He couldn't guess how much of a sensation it would be if the dragon skin in the storage ring was handed over, and the brothers gave him all the treasures that could not be taken away from the cave, which was enough for him to kill many, many people with money.
After calling back Hou Laosi, who was still dancing, he didn't follow Chen Qing and the others home, but went straight to the patriarch's mansion.
Not long after Chen Qing and the others came back, Hou Zhi returned home with a smirk, no matter how his wife asked, he was smirking and not saying a word. And Chen Qing was not interested in waiting for him, so he had already fallen asleep.
Before dawn, a large group of people knocked on the door of the courtyard where they were waiting, and seeing that it was the head of the house who personally brought the people of the house of elders to come together, the frightened butterfly was about to kneel down with the help of the flowers, but the head of the house stopped him with a smile, and then announced an order in front of the people of the house of elders.
"The Hou family has a son to wait for, the sky has a blessed star, the merit is broken, and now he is the young patriarch, and he can exercise the authority of the patriarch. β
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
β......β
As soon as the patriarch's voice fell, it was a sound of approval, and the people who spoke were all elders, and even there were elders who were too high, and Die Ruhua sat on the ground with a buttocks, twisting his thighs desperately, how could he not believe that this was true, even if the dragon skin was a treasure, it could not make Hou Zhi take a step to the sky!
