Volume 2 The Changing Storm Chapter 99 The ruthless second son
Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ruthless Second Son
The Joyama Mansion has not been very calm for the past two days, and there are always Shenwu guards coming in and out.
Because of the death of the Zidao people, Zhou Hong was in a big rage, and his condition deteriorated further, and the former high-ranking and powerful Dingshan Gong didn't know how many more days he could support.
The West Garden of the Dingshan Mansion, where there are several expensive buildings that are almost not inferior to the main building, is the residence of the second son, Zhou Liangman.
Zhou Liang was forty-one years old, twenty years younger than his eldest brother Zhou Liangsheng, who died in his early years, that is, Zhou Juqi's father, and was born to Zhou Hong in middle age.
At this time, Zhou Liangman was in a terrible mood.
"Bump!"
A valuable purple gold bowl smashed to the ground and was smashed to pieces.
"How can he be so angry!" Zhou Liang's eyes were full of scarlet, and his anger filled him.
"Dog Emperor! Zhang Yuntao, this erection!"
He kicked the table over again, and the three people standing next to him didn't say a word, just watched quietly.
When the news of Zhou Juqi's marshal was reached to the Dingshan Mansion, Zhou Liangman has been in this irritable state.
These three people are the three masters who fought with Zhang Yongdian the night before, and at this time, the man named "Sky Demon" is waiting here with a respectful appearance.
A few days ago, Shen Ku, one of the enshrinements of the Dingshan Mansion, once said to Jiang Chengfeng that the Purple Dao people died in the hands of the Empty Demon, and at this time, this murderer was here in Zhou Liangman, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, and it had surfaced.
Almost venting, Zhou Liangman picked up a white jade cigarette stick that he knocked over, lit the tobacco, and swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.
"Luo Kong, do you think I still have a chance to compete for the public position?"
Facing the empty demon, Zhou Liangman called his name: "Zhou Juqi's little dog breed, why was he named the generalissimo of rebellion, although the position of Dingshan Gong is passed on to no one and even the emperor can't control it, but in this way, this kid has the support of the emperor's child, and the price is a hundred times, and the prime minister Han Huiding is also with him, and the chance of this son is not big." ”
Luo Kong's face was expressionless, and he said: "The lives of the three of us belong to the second son, if the second son lets us fight, it will be a loss of life, and we will also help you fight for the public position." ”
"Don't talk about life and death so early. Zhou Liang took two puffs of cigarette and calmed down a lot: "My son just thought that we still have one more chance." ”
The three of them knelt down on one knee in unison and said in unison, "Please give me orders." ”
A fierce look flashed in Zhou Liang's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to make a movement to wipe his neck: "There are ten days left before the official stage to worship the commander, you find a chance to kill Zhou Juqi directly!"
Before, he originally wanted to weaken Zhou Juqi's support in the Dingshan Mansion by murdering the Zidao people, but he didn't expect that now even the imperial court relied on Zhou Juqi, so he had to take a risk.
As long as Zhou Juqi dies, Zhou Hong will only have one heir left, and the public position will be given to him if he is not given.
This plan is a risky move, but it is similar to Zhang Yongdian's killing of half of the immortals.
"After you kill him, Roku, you need to stand up and take the blame. ”
Zhou Liang looked at the Empty Demon Luo Kong with a blank look in his eyes, and said coldly: "At that time, Lin Wushuang and Jiang Chen can get out, but you have been detected when you killed the Purple Dao people, in order not to let them suspect this son, I will treat you as a traitor to the Dingshan Mansion like them at that time." ”
"Childe, this ......" The white-haired woman and the fat man named Lin Wushuang Jiang Chen were anxious, and immediately pleaded.
"Shut up!" rook shouted, he rarely shouted so loudly.
"Our lives are all given by Childe, Childe asked me to die, I have nothing to say!"
Zhou Liangman stepped forward to help Luo Kong, and the ruthlessness turned into sincerity at this moment.
"My son regards you as a sibling, but the destiny is not on my side, so I can only make this decision, and when my son ascends to the public throne in the future, I will definitely find an opportunity to give you a correct name and make you smile Jiuquan!"
"Click......
At that moment, a wave of footsteps came from outside.
Zhou Liangman's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "You guys will move to Rhino Horn Village in the next few days, wait for this son's instructions to act, and leave quickly." ”
"Yes!" The three of them agreed, and Lin Wushuang immediately slapped his palm on the pillar next to him, and the floor immediately sank into it, revealing a secret passage, and the three of them rushed in, and after a while, the floor returned to its original state.
Zhou Liangman watched the three of them leave, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the three of you have lived for so many years thanks to the blessings of this son, especially Na Luokong, and you have also practiced evil skills, you know too much, after killing Zhou Juqi's kid, don't think about leaving!"
"Landscape!
He commanded loudly: "Clean this up for Ben Gongzi!
The two maids walked in quickly and began to clean up Zhou Liangman's mess.
As for himself, he put on a big coat and went out, he knew that there must be another person from Shenwuwei outside, and he had to deal with it.
In Xianyun Pavilion, the dying Zhou Hong was lying on the bench, and Zhong Jinmeng was sitting opposite.
"Disturbing Dingshan Gong's recuperation, the lower officials are terrified. ”
Zhong Chengmeng said: "Deputy Secretary Jiang has some matters, and the case of your mansion is now handled by the lower officials. ”
Jiang Chengfeng was in retreat at home, and the news had been passed on to Han Hui by Tang Xiaohua, and he immediately decided to let Zhong Jinmeng personally take over the authority of Jiang Chengfeng's complete Zidaoren case.
"Ahem...... Zhou Hong coughed twice and said tiredly: "Mr. Zhong...... The old man's time was short, and he thought that before he closed his eyes, he saw you seeking justice for my old fellow. ”
"Can you ...... Do you want to fulfill this wish for the old man?"
Looking at Zhou Hong like this, Zhong Jinmeng couldn't help but feel a burst of melancholy in his heart, no matter how powerful the characters were back then, they couldn't survive the years after all.
"The subordinate will do his best," Zhong Chengmeng said firmly: "I have already made a military order with the prime minister, if I can't take the murderer, this position of the head of the Shenwu Guard, I, Zhong, will abdicate and make way for Xian!"
"If you say that, the old man will be much more relieved......" Every time Zhou Hong said a word, he seemed to be struggling, and it seemed that he was really running out of oil and the lamp was dry.
"Don't worry too much, the lower official still has something to congratulate you. Zhong Chengmeng said.
"Mr. Zhong is talking about my grandson's great spirit, and His Majesty has been named the generalissimo of rebellion. Zhou Hong's muddy old eyes rarely flashed some light: "Just after the year of the giant spirit, he received such an imperial favor, and the old man thanked His Majesty for him." ”
Zhong Jinmeng saw that Zhou Hong had some energy, so he wanted to continue the topic, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also said that since he ascended the throne, he has been busy with government affairs and has not come to visit his uncle, and he will visit you as a junior in three days." ”
Zhang Yunlan and Zhang Yuntao's mother is Zhou Hong's half-sister, but because she was born to a servant, she was expelled from the house by Zhou Hong's mother when she was a child, and later passed on to their brother's father.
Later, Zhang Yunlan and Han Hui raised troops to attack Zhang Yue, at that time Zhou Hong inherited his father's title, known as "Pingshan Marquis" in Chenghua Mansion, the family power is very large, he has already endured Zhang Yue for a long time, and heard that it was his nephew who raised troops to crusade against the tyrant, so he secretly sold his property, and took a group of families to steal the starry night out of Chenghua Mansion and defected to Zhang Yunlan.
When he was young, he had great military achievements, his prestige in the army was very high, and there were many strange people under him, and he rebelled, and many elite soldiers and strong generals under Zhang Yue also followed him to defect, which immediately tilted the balance of victory and defeat between Zhang Yue and Zhang Yunlan, so after Zhang Yunlan ascended the throne, he had a status that was not inferior to Han Hui.
Zhang Yuntao is almost a generation younger than his brother, and he has no impression of Zhou Hong before he ascended the throne, and since he entered the Chenghua Mansion, Zhou Hong's body has become worse and worse, and Zhang Yuntao, who lives in the deep palace, really has no chance to visit.
Hearing that Zhang Yuntao was coming, Zhou Hong's withered face squeezed out a smile: "Your Majesty is still thinking about the old man, the old man is very happy, hahaha......"
"Father is happy, everything is fine. ”
Zhou Liangman pushed open the door and came in, hugged his fist at Zhong Chengmeng and said, "It's hard for Mr. Zhong to go." ”
"Second son. Zhong Jinmeng also got up and returned the salute: "There are just some things to ask for." ”
Zhou Liangman sat next to Zhou Hong calmly, holding the old father's hand with concern, looking like a filial son, where was the ruthlessness of the previous moment, and said, "Mr. Zhong, please speak." ”
"Deputy Secretary Jiang told me, the last time he came to your mansion, Shen said that the murderer was a person named Empty Demon Luokong, and the lower official wanted to ask, does the second prince know anything about this person?"
Hearing Luo Kong's name, Zhou Liangman suddenly changed to a look full of hatred, and said: "Luo Kong! It must be him! He is a traitor to our Dingshan Mansion! He is the murderer who killed my eldest brother! I didn't expect him to be back now!"
