Chapter 155: A Good Show
The deceased person mentioned in the servant's mouth naturally refers to Zhou Heng, although the servant endured his grief, but he still explained the matter to Jiang Yu with snot and tears, to the effect that Zhou Heng had just died of illness, and specially sent someone to inform Jiang Yu to attend Zhou Heng's funeral the day after tomorrow and so on.
Jiang Yu listened to him finish the matter, comforted him a few words, and then beat him away. When Jiang Yu turned around, she found that Xiao Ruo had already stood up, and she heard the servant's words clearly.
"Brother Zhou is dead?" Xiao Ruomu showed a shocked expression. In this world, she felt that Jiang Yu was the best for her, and the second was this Zhou Heng.
Jiang Yu walked up to Xiao Ruo, slowly helped her sit down, and then whispered, "It's just a scene." ”
"Play?" Xiao Ruo didn't understand, and Ling Ruoxue didn't understand.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Your brother Zhou just wants to take advantage of the funeral to avenge himself." As for the funeral the day after tomorrow, you don't want to go, you can't act, and if you can't cry, you'll be in trouble. Jiang Yu said with a smile. In fact, what Jiang Yu really wanted to say in his heart was that the funeral might be very bloody, and it was not suitable for his daughter's family to watch.
Hearing Jiang Yu say that Zhou Heng was not dead, Xiao Ruo felt a little at ease.
"Don't talk about it to anyone. Otherwise, your brother Zhou will be busy in vain. Jiang Yu told Xiao Ruo, he knew that Xiao Ruo would sometimes come into contact with the people of the Zhou family, judging from the reaction of the servant just now, Zhou Heng should have hidden from many people, even many servants close to him.
"I know, I won't be going out for the next few days. Xiao Ruo smiled, sat down next to Ling Ruoxue, and said, "I only accompany Sister Ling at home." ”
Jiang Yu nodded and said reassuringly: "That's good." ”
After eating, Jiang Yu went out alone to watch in the Zhou Mansion, and at this time in the Zhou Mansion, you could see the white cloth and the word Dian everywhere. Almost every person from the Zhou family that Jiang Yu saw was in tears or their eyes were red. Although Zhou Heng is the young master of the Zhou family, in fact, everyone in the Zhou family has long thought that he is the patriarch of the Zhou family. Zhou Heng is a person, with clear rewards and punishments, and he is not punished according to the law. Although it seems ruthless, it is very popular with these Zhou family members. Therefore, his death, the Zhou family up and down, all grieved.
Briefly recounted, soon came the day of Zhou Heng's funeral, Zhou Heng is the lord of a city, no matter how bad the relationship with him is, how unpleasant he is, but death is great. Those local dignitaries in Falling Snow City, after receiving the invitation of the Zhou family, still had to symbolically come over to attend Zhou Heng's funeral.
Many of these people said they were here to attend the funeral, but rather to see the excitement.
Jiang Yu sat on a high place near the door, watching those people coldly, and said in his heart that these proud people didn't know that they had stepped into the ghost gate with one foot.
The day is getting westerly, and soon the time is dusk, according to the rules of Falling Snow City, funerals are generally held at dusk, and almost all the people who should come have arrived.
Jiang Yu sat on the roof ridge and watched the funeral go on step by step from a distance, and after the last round of sacrificial wine, there was only one burial ceremony left for the funeral. The burial does not need to be attended by these outsiders. For them, the funeral was over.
"Since Zhou Heng is dead, the Zhou family will give up the position of the city lord!" During the funeral, a discordant voice came. The person who spoke already had a big beard, and it was none other than Master Lu of the Lu family in Falling Snow City. That is, the city lord of Falling Snow City before Zhou Heng.
As soon as he said this, he immediately received a lot of responses, obviously, a lot of people from the Lu family came, and many friends from the Lu family also came.
Zhou Heng has a knighthood, even if he dies, according to the rules of Baiyue Kingdom, it is the people of the Zhou family who inherit the title and succeed him as the city lord. When Zhou Heng was here, no matter how powerful the people of the Lu family were, they couldn't help Zhou Heng, and now that Zhou Heng is dead, they naturally want to take the opportunity to snatch back the position of city lord.
Jiang Yu, who was sitting on the roof, casually glanced at it, and found that when Master Lu spoke, there were many people who responded, at least three or four hundred. Almost half of the people who came. Obviously, the Lu family also worked hard to force the Zhou family to hand over the position of city lord. Not only here, but even outside the Zhou family, there are already many Lu family members with weapons in hand, ready to enter the Zhou family at any time to raid the house and destroy the door.
"Brother Zhou's choice is right. Jiang Yu sighed silently. Zhou Heng claims to be a businessman, and he is unwilling to use force in everything, but chooses force, which means that things can no longer be reconciled.
The people of the Zhou family and the people of the Lu family quarreled, and Jiang Yu had no intention of listening to the content of the quarrel, he just found that the female dependents of the Zhou family who were present had almost quietly evacuated, and Jiang Yu already knew that the critical moment was coming.
The atmosphere of the scene, the smell of gunpowder is already very sufficient, those people of the Lu family can't hold it back, and they are about to start. At this time, I heard someone say: "The position of the city lord, do you think so?"
The voice was neither high nor low, but the people present were extremely familiar. The scene fell silent for a moment, a deathly silence.
"Zhou Heng!" Some of the people at the scene screamed in fright.
I saw the curtain at the back door of the mourning hall lifted, and a person walked out, with a graceful temperament and a calm demeanor. Who is not Zhou Heng?
At this time, Zhou Heng's face was ruddy, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and he looked sick. When the people present saw a dead person, they were all shocked, and they were timid, and they fainted in fright.
"Zhou Heng, how can you ......" Seeing Zhou Heng like this, the most puzzled person was Master Lu of the Lu family.
"What should I do? I should have fallen for the conspiracy of the Changzhou faction, and I should have died a long time ago, right?" Zhou Heng said this, smiled faintly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and threw a large handful of needles at the feet of Master Lu.
Seeing those needles, Master Lu was taken aback. Zhou Heng smiled slightly, paced, walked in the mourning hall, and looked at those who came to attend his funeral. Youyou said: "I know, I became the city lord of Falling Snow City, and you are all unconvinced. Businessmen are reasonable, if Zhou Heng does something wrong, he can say it in person, and Zhou Heng will correct it at his discretion. Going to the knife in the dark is not a wise choice. ”
"Who the are you talking about!Don't pretend here!" Master Lu was still able to calm down, but his second son, who came with him, couldn't help it, and scolded loudly.
Zhou Heng shook his head slightly, and just smiled at the scolding.
"Dad, anyway, he said to the outside world that he was dead, so we might as well be here and kill him directly! Then he said that he had already handed over the position to our Lu family!" Master Lu's third son whispered to Master Lu. In the mourning hall, except for a few Zhou family members, almost all the others are from the Lu family. If these people rush up and want to kill Zhou Heng, it will not be difficult at all.
Seeming to have realized the Lu family's scheme, Zhou Heng smiled slightly, and said: "I can remind you once, if you are willing to sit down and talk about it, Zhou Heng has the patience to talk to you, if you do it, don't blame Zhou Heng's subordinates for being ruthless!"
Zhou Heng's threat, Master Lu's heart was shocked. Zhou Heng was just a young offspring to him, and in vulgar terms, he probably ate more salt than Zhou Heng ate. But it was such a descendant, but it made him, the former city lord of Falling Snow City, a little scared. He knew that with Zhou Heng's habits, he had always been prepared.
"If he didn't have a trick, he wouldn't dare to appear here, could it be ......" Master Lu was a little suspicious and couldn't make up his mind, and suddenly he saw a strange smile on the corner of Zhou Heng's mouth. said angrily: "You want to lie to me!" He naturally felt that Zhou Heng was afraid that so many people at the scene would act together and wanted to use a delaying tactic. After saying this, Master Lu took out the sword under the hem of his clothes, and with a crisp sound, the Lu family members present all made a move!
Seeing the Lu family do it, although it was expected, Zhou Heng still sighed: "Helpless!"
The Lu family copied their weapons and went straight to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng also had a little cultivation, and he retreated while fighting, and soon disappeared without a trace. The Lu family members who were outside also received the signal, and each armed into the Zhou family. The original plan was to kill the Zhou family when they saw it, but after these people rushed into the Zhou family, they didn't meet a few people at all. And the Lu family in the mourning hall also found that after Zhou Heng appeared just now, almost all the people of the Zhou family were gone, and at this time Zhou Heng didn't even know where to go. It was as if in an instant, the people of the Zhou family had all evaporated.
"It's not good, let's go!" Master Lu sensed that something was wrong, led everyone, and rushed out of the mourning hall, and then saw that on the roof of the Zhou family, there were many people sitting from nowhere, dressed in black, wearing black veils, and holding various weapons.
When these people saw the Lu family come out, they couldn't help but say, jumped off the roof, and started to besiege and kill! The people of the Lu family are not bad at cultivation, but compared with these black-clothed people, it is simply a world of difference, compared to them, the Lu family is just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The sword is shining, the sword is dignified, and the Zhou family at this time has become a Shura cemetery. Those men in black, no matter which family they are, almost kill people on sight.
The inside of the Zhou family is lively, and at this moment, in the teahouse opposite the Zhou family. There are two people sitting opposite each other drinking tea. On one side is Jiang Yu, and on the other side is Zhou Heng.
After Zhou Heng escaped from the secret passage of the organ, he came here to see Jiang Yu according to the previous agreement. This teahouse has naturally been the property of the Zhou family for a long time.
"How does Brother Zhou plan to end up?" Jiang Yu looked sideways at the Zhou family's mansion, and said in his heart that it would be easy to kill these people this time, but there might be more troubles later.
"Plan to ......" Zhou Heng poured himself a cup of tea and said with a slight smile: "It's nothing more than sending some money to the people above to cover up for me." They'll act like they don't see anything. ”
Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't mean them. Of course, Jiang Yu knew that it was naturally easy to settle those officials who were bigger than him with Zhou Heng's means. But killing so many people from the Lu family and other prominent clans will inevitably cause endless disasters.
Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”
With just four words, Jiang Yu had already seen a large area of blood, and he knew that Zhou Heng had decided to wipe out the entire Lu family from Falling Snow City. You must know that the Lu family is the largest family in Falling Snow City, and the entire population is counted together, almost nearly 10,000 people. Zhou Heng's words will kill so many people. Jiang Yuxin said that no wonder Zhou Heng said that this time the killing was too heavy.
Zhou Heng drank tea, calmed down, and said a little sadly: "Actually, I'm just a businessman, businessmen want to make money in harmony, isn't it good for everyone to live in peace......?" It's a pity that my compromise did not win them gratitude, but made them more advantageous, since this is the case, there is no smile!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yu was silent. After a while, Jiang Yu asked, "What about the Changzhou faction?" Jiang Yu had just recently learned that the Changzhou faction was a sect near Falling Snow City, and there were not too many people, but it had a good relationship with the Lu family. No matter how many people there are in the Lu family, they are just worldly people, and it is not difficult for Zhou Heng to settle them. But no matter how few people are sent to Changzhou, it is also a sect, and with Zhou Heng's ability, he may not be able to send Changzhou to what happens.
Zhou Heng took a sip of tea lightly and said, "If I say that among those people I use, there are masters of the Changzhou faction, Brother Jiang, do you believe it or not?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yu was still quite surprised, after all, Zhou Heng knew that it was the people from the Changzhou faction who harmed him, and it was only a recent matter, how could he get on the line with the Changzhou faction so quickly.
Looking at Jiang Yu's somewhat surprised expression, Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Money can make ghosts grind, and friendship is not back, that's because the price given is not high enough." Although the Changzhou faction prides itself on being an immortal sect outside the world, since they are willing to accept the assignment of the Lu family to harm me, a person who has nothing to do with them, then it is not difficult for me to pay for them. ”
As soon as Zhou Heng spoke, Jiang Yu understood why so many black-clothed masters appeared. I think most of them are people that Zhou Heng bought with money.
Suddenly, someone ran upstairs on their feet, it was Zhou Heng's henchman. Then he listened to the entourage and said, "Young master, Master Lu wants to see you, I hope you can give him another chance." ”
"I've already given him a chance and I don't want to see him anymore. Go ahead!" Zhou Heng flicked his sleeves and said without raising his head. The retinue took the command. Jiang Yu knew that the Zhou family's killing was almost over. Because I can't hear the fighting inside. And Jiang Yu also knew that this was just the beginning.
