At this time, the Zeng family's compound had gradually calmed down.

Since the thieves have fled, those "martial arts masters" who have received a lot of money from Zeng have also left one after another.

There was no retention outside of the former staff.

He had seen the incompetence and cowardice of these people, who were nothing more than a bunch of straw bales, and he really didn't know how they had been deceived by the great fame they had outside.

Such a group of incompetent people, if they don't leave, can't they stay and invite them to dinner?

With Zeng's character, it is already very polite not to ask them for the money paid to them by the Zeng family.

At this moment, Zeng Yuanwai sat in the guest hall and sighed, and he didn't know whether he was distressed by the silver cheated by these people, or he was worried about the return of the thieves in the future.

Lord Zhou sat on the side, looking at him silently.

These things that happened tonight made Zhou feel a little overwhelmed.

First of all, the person who came to take the treasure was really the rumored dead number one smartest Ye Feng in the world, originally Lord Zhou still had some doubts, thinking that a person like Ye Feng who was famous all over the world would not become a thief for money, and it was very likely that someone impersonated this matter.

But Zhang Fatzi's reaction said it all, the person who came was Ye Feng.

Then there are these martial arts masters invited by the Zeng family with a lot of money, they are as useless as chopping melons and vegetables in front of him.

originally thought that with the shrewdness of Zeng Yuan, the group of people he invited at great expense would have some effect.

Later, it was the sudden appearance of the second son of the crazy Zeng family, and he also repelled Ye Feng with a sword, all this happened too quickly, it felt a little illusory, like a dream, and there was a feeling of unreality.

Looking at Zeng Yuanwai who sighed in front of him, Lord Zhou felt that he was depressed at the moment, just like his previous anxiety, acting so deliberately and contrivedly, as if he was deliberately performing it for people to see, so exaggerated.

And at this moment, is such an ending actually in the calculation of Zeng Yuanwai from the beginning?

This old fox!

Master Zhou clearly felt that there must be a bigger and deeper secret hidden in Zeng Yuanwai, and he didn't tell the truth at all.

He couldn't help but think of the crazy second son of the Zeng family, who looked like an idiot, but he had such advanced swordsmanship, it was rare for a person with a normal mind to be able to practice such a realm, let alone a stupid person with an incomplete mind?

It was impossible for the outside of Zeng to know about this, but he had never mentioned it before. What exactly is he trying to hide?

And the second son of the Zeng family has such martial arts, but why is he so afraid of Zeng Yuan, and he is silent?

What exactly is he afraid of?

Thinking of this, Lord Zhou cleared his throat and said to Zeng Yuanwai, who was sighing, seemingly unintentionally: "Zeng Weng, I don't know how Ling Gongzi is now?"

Zeng Yuanwai sighed: "The old man has ordered the family to take him back to his room and keep him under strict supervision. The child is ignorant and acts recklessly, so that the thief escapes, and he fails to be captured in one fell swoop. ”

These words were high-sounding, and Lord Zhou couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, if it wasn't for this crazy second son who repelled the thieves just now, with these straw bag masters in this courtyard, self-protection is still insufficient, what else can we talk about in one fell swoop?

However, Lord Zhou did not break the polite words on these scenes, but just said softly: "Although the second son is sick, his swordsmanship is very clever!"

For this question, Zeng Yuanwai didn't look surprised at all, and replied casually: "The dog likes to dance with guns and swords since he was a child

It made the adults laugh. ”

What kind of master can teach such profound and powerful swordsmanship?

Master Zhou couldn't help but sneer at Zeng Yuanwai's words, since there is such a clever master, why do you have to spend a lot of money to invite a group of useless straw bales to come back to see the nursing home?

This is clearly prevarication.

Lord Zhou thought about it, the topic suddenly changed, and he asked again: "Since this thief came to ask for treasure, he should ask Zeng Weng for it in person." Zeng Weng was in this guest hall at the time, and the rest of the people were not his opponents, so why did the thief abandon Zeng Weng and go to the backyard instead?"

Zeng Yuanwai was obviously unprepared for this question, and was a little surprised, and he stammered "this, this" for a while, but he couldn't say why.

Lord Zhou asked, "What's so special about this backyard?"

Zeng Yuanwai hurriedly denied it: "The backyard is just the residence of the wives and young families, how can there be anything special? I think the thief must have thought that the old man had hidden all his belongings in the backyard, so he would act like this." ”

His explanation of urgency and wisdom made Master Zhou irrefutable for a while.

However, his anxious demeanor made Lord Zhou feel that this Ye Feng walked straight to the backyard just now, it must not be for nothing, I am afraid that there is still some secret hidden in this backyard.

And this secret is probably what Zeng Yuanwai has been trying his best to hide, but what is it?

Lord Zhou was thinking about how to continue to ask, but Zeng Yuanwai suddenly asked: "Shicai is in a hurry, I don't know where the fat friend brought by the adult has gone now?"

Lord Zhou was stunned for a moment, just now when Zhang Fatzi flew out to track down Ye Feng who had escaped, Zeng Yuanwai was busy repairing his idiot little son, maybe he really didn't notice.

So he replied casually, "He may have followed the fleeing thief." ”

"Oh?" Zeng seemed to be interested in this, "This friend of Lord Zhou also knows martial arts?"

Lord Zhou didn't want to say much, so he replied vaguely: "It should be, this official doesn't know much about martial arts or anything." ”

Zeng Yuan showed a worried look: "That thief is very vicious and fierce, and he has injured several martial arts masters here in a row, this friend of Lord Zhou hasn't come back for so long, can't something happen?"

Lord Zhou secretly said in his heart, no matter how fierce and fierce this thief is, won't he be repelled by your stupid son?

However, when Zeng Yuanwai said this, he was really a little worried. Zhang Fatzi chased him out for so long, and he hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if he caught up with that Ye Feng?

At this time, Zeng Yuanwai said: "The old man seems to have an injury on this friend of the adult, I don't know how the injury is? There are still some excellent precious medicinal herbs in this house, I don't know if they can come in handy?"

Without waiting for Lord Zhou to answer, he looked out anxiously and said, "It's just that I haven't been going for so long and haven't come back, but don't really have something wrong, right?"

His series of words made Lord Zhou's heart uncertain, and he began to worry, and for a while he forgot to continue to ask Zeng Yuanwai about the backyard.

When I was worried, a voice suddenly came from outside the house and said, "Youlao is worried, didn't I come back safely?"

As soon as the words fell, a chubby figure appeared at the door of the guest hall, but it was Zhang Fatzi, who had returned safely.

As soon as he saw the fat man, Zeng Yuanwai's face showed surprise, but he immediately changed to a happy face, and said: "Fortunately, Xiaoyou is safe and sound, we are worried here!

Done?"

Zhang Fatzi shook his head and said, "The thief is strong in martial arts, but he still escaped." ”

Lord Zhou on the side was surprised and delighted when he saw that Zhang Fatzi had returned unharmed, and was about to ask about Ye Feng who had escaped, but when he said this, he stopped stiffly.

Indeed, at this moment, regarding the relationship between Zhang Fatzi and Ye Feng, it is indeed inconvenient for Zeng Yuanwai to know.

Zhang Fatzi came and went back and forth, it took a lot of physical strength to exert light power, and it affected the wound, the pain was unbearable, and his face was pale at the moment, and he couldn't stand anymore, so he quickly sat down on the chair.

Seeing this, Lord Zhou hurriedly said goodbye to Zeng Yuanwai: "Zeng Weng, now that the thief has escaped, I don't think I will dare to return tonight, and your mansion should be safe for the time being." Now that this friend is unwell, the official will send him back to recuperate first, and then come back tomorrow to discuss the rest with Zeng Weng, how about it?"

Zeng Yuanwai saw that Zhang Fatzi's face was not good, and he knew that it was difficult for him to persevere, and it was naturally inconvenient to stay, so he personally led someone to send Zhou Daren and his party out of Zeng's mansion, and thanked him repeatedly.

Looking at Lord Zhou, their figures gradually moved away, but his face gradually changed.

The original look of deference, and the panic and nervousness of the aftermath of tonight's turmoil, were all swept away, replaced by a dark, thoughtful expression.

After a while, he opened his mouth and asked the family next to him, "Is the second son okay now?"

The family man bowed down and replied: "According to the master's orders, the second son is now guarding his room, and there are people guarding him outside, and he has not left an inch." ”

Zeng Yuanwai nodded, and then asked, "What about the eldest prince?"

Jia Ding said: "Exactly." The eldest prince obeyed the master's order, and stayed in the shop in the city tonight and did not return. ”

Zeng Yuanwai sighed lightly and said, "Send someone to the city to inform the eldest prince to come back! ”

The family replied yes, turned around and hurried away.

Zeng Yuanwai looked up at the dark night sky, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, it is really better to count people than the sky!

Tonight's events, he had already calculated properly, Lord Zhou's presence, as well as the group of charlatans who spared no expense to invite to pretend, and even his half-stupid little son who suddenly appeared, all of which he secretly and carefully planned.

originally thought that no matter who the thief was, it would be difficult to escape from his youngest son's sword, and with this thief hurting people in front of him, and Lord Zhou was present to testify, he could kill this thief openly, which was completely justified defense, and it was his stupid little son who killed him, and he had nothing to do with it.

Unexpectedly, this Ye Feng really lived up to his reputation, and even more powerful than the rumors, he was able to easily retreat from under his youngest son's sword, making his plan fall short.

What I didn't expect was the fat man brought by Lord Zhou today.

When Ye Feng appeared, looking at his expression, this fat man and Ye Feng not only knew each other, but also had a deep relationship, otherwise his expression would not be so excited.

Looking at the figure of him who flew out later, this fat man's light skills are by no means ordinary, if it weren't for the injuries on his body, he could definitely be regarded as one of the best people in the rivers and lakes.

From this point of view, then Lord Zhou and this Ye Feng are also likely to know each other, in that case, the reason why this Ye Feng suddenly came to visit tonight, and this fat man who suddenly appeared, is definitely not accidental.

Could it be that all this is a huge conspiracy against oneself?

Although he has lived a comfortable life in Qingping County for so many years and is honestly his own rich man, he is low-key, but it does not mean that he is afraid of things, especially when these things come to his door.

Since you want to play, then I'll have a good time with you!

Zeng Yuanwai suddenly clenched his fists, and green tendons burst out of his fists.
