Chapter 37: The Declining Zhong Family

This little turmoil in the restaurant ended with the departure of the girl, walking outside, such an unwarranted disaster will inevitably be indispensable in the future, Luo Chen was secretly vigilant in his heart, and secretly kept an eye on it in the future.

After a meal, the restaurant owner was like a plague god, he didn't even want gold coins, just begged the three of them to leave quickly, although he was laughing, but the smile was too stiff to make people laugh and cry.

Because of the hurry to go, so did not wait for a long time, there are still several days to rush from Licheng, can not delay any longer, prepared enough dry food and drinking water to eat on the road, the carriage does not stop, a few days later, looking from afar, a majestic city has appeared in front of you.

The steel-like city, towering, the rows of black-armored guards stationed in front of the city gate, giving people a great sense of oppression, Li Cheng is different from ordinary cities, as one of the ten king cities of the Heaven Dou Empire, the security in the city is extremely strict, even if it is a small fight, once it is reported, it will definitely not be able to eat and walk!

Of course, this is just for ordinary families with no background and outsiders, in front of those powerful first-class families, the so-called royal city rules are just a joke.

"Second Miss, Li Cheng has arrived. ”

Outside the carriage, the respectful voice of the Wei steward sounded here, and the carriage's speed gradually stopped, and it was checked outside the city gate, according to the regulations of the royal city. Carriages come and go, which need to be strictly surveyed before entering.

"Don't delay any longer, go straight to the city!"

A black token was thrown out of the carriage, and seeing this, the face of the leader of the black armor guard changed suddenly, and he glanced at the carriage in surprise, and then respectfully handed the black token in his hand to Steward Wei and made way of the way.

After the carriage entered the city, it went straight to the Zhong Mansion, but outside the gate of the Zhong Mansion, there were crowds, the gate was closed, and there was a faint scolding.

If it weren't for the city guards guarding them, it is estimated that the gate of the Zhong family would have been smashed, the stone lions on both sides of the mansion would be torn apart, and the ground would be even more dirty and messy, with rotten vegetables and leaves all over the ground.

"What's going on?"

Zhong Li, who got down from the carriage, frowned, his face was covered with frost, although the breeder was not as good as before, he couldn't tolerate such presumptuousness!

"Steward Wei, go and inquire about what happened. ”

"Yes. ”

Steward Wei also frowned, and after inquiring, he learned that the pills sold by the Zhong family's Dan shop had recently taken a human life, and it was the son of a first- and second-class family who died.

No, now Danpu has not only been temporarily sealed, but even Zhongfu has often come to make trouble, and it has been several days.

After learning the news, Zhong Liqi's chest rose and fell, there was more than one Zhong family Dan shop, and now all of them have been seized, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Zhong family!

Zhong Jiadan has been operating in Licheng for so many years, and there has never been such a thing, someone must have framed him!

In addition, the fur was robbed this time, but there is still a large amount of liquidated damages to be paid, and now that the Danpu has been seized, the Zhong family's main source of income has also been cut off.

Recently, the Zhong Mansion has been as bleak as a cloud, the door of the mansion is closed, and there are not a few people who secretly leave the Zhong Mansion with valuable items when they see that things are not good.

The huge bell mansion has become a little deserted, and in the first seat of the mansion hall, there is a gorgeously dressed woman, the woman is beautiful, not to say that it is a country and a city, but it is also a rare beauty.

The woman touched about twenty, at this time her face had a tiredness that could not be dissolved, recently Zhongfu is really not quiet, there are enemies outside, there are worries inside, when her father left early, he left such a mess, and now there are accidents one after another, and the funds flowing in the family are about to be cut off.

Now I can only hope that the little sister will return smoothly to solve the urgent need for coal burning in Zhongfu.

"Miss, it's the second young lady who is back. ”

Someone came to report, and when she heard this, the woman on the first seat finally showed a smile, and at this moment, Zhong Li outside the hall almost trotted in and threw herself into the woman's arms, crying and her eyes red.

Luo Chen, who followed behind him, followed Steward Wei, looking a little sad, the Zhong Mansion was very large, even bigger than the Luo Mansion, but there were not many maids along the way.

The fur is gone, which makes the Zhong family, who are already overwhelmed, even more passive!

Although the Zhong family has a lot of branches outside, these shops are in the hands of those old things of the Zhong family, and there is obviously no hope.

These old things have ghosts in their hearts, don't say that they help, they are already thankful if they don't secretly engage in ghosts.

"Baiyun Village, what a bold man!"

The woman was furious, but after the anger, she comforted Zhong Li, without the slightest reproach, but this made her even more uncomfortable.

"Steward Wei, you're back too?"

"I'm a little worried, come back and see. ”

Steward Wei has a very special status in the Zhong Mansion, although he is not a member of the Zhong family, he has a very high status.

"Who is this kid?"

Zhong Xian'er had a hint of surprise on her face, Luo Chen's appearance was too outstanding, if he wasn't young, he would definitely be a beautiful young man.

"Sister, he's ......"

"Huh...... This kid is good, but he's a little young. ”

Zhong Xian'er had a smile on her face, Zhong Li's pretty face was as red as a glow, and she said angrily: "Sister, what are you talking about, it's not what you think." ”

Luo Chen looked at the two sisters curiously on the side, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was really good.

"Xiao Chenzi, what are you still doing there, you can't come over. ”

Seeing that Luo Chen was still stunned, he shouted at him angrily.

"Oh, hello, Sister Fairy. ”

With a hint of shyness on his face, Zhong Li stroked his forehead on the side, and said angrily: "You give me some rules, be careful that I flatten you!"

"Li'er, don't be rude. ”

"Sister, don't be deceived by this little guy's appearance, when he was in Baiyun Valley, this guy killed twenty-six thieves in one go, and many of them had two-star soul fighting masters. ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Xian'er glanced at Luo Chen lightly, and glanced at Luo Chen with some surprise, and at this time, even Steward Wei on the side suddenly widened his eyes, obviously taken aback by Zhong Li's words.

Killed twenty-six thieves in one go? Yu Baiyun City has lived for so many years, naturally he knows that Baiyun Valley, those are all villains who lick knives, although they can't get into his eyes, but how old Luo Chen is, he has also observed this kid along the way, but he didn't see it, he is still a ruthless character.

Luo Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled shyly: "It's just a fluke." ”

"I didn't praise you!"

This guy is really thick-skinned.

Zhong Xian'er looked at Luo Chen curiously, glanced at her sister again, and sighed lightly in her heart, she has some talent, but it's a pity......

Steward Wei took Luo Chen to wander around the Zhong Mansion, and at this time, only the two Zhong Li sisters were left in the hall.

"Li'er, what should I do with the Mo family?"

The original smile on his face stiffened in an instant, Zhong Li was silent, and after a long time, he shook his head.

"But this marriage contract must have been made by my grandfather back then, that Mo Cheng I have seen, the person is not bad, and the Mo family's status in Li Cheng is extraordinary, although my Zhong family is in decline, but people do not seem to regret the marriage, you can think about it carefully, and I can see that Mo Cheng likes you, if it is not for the Mo family to help this time, those families outside may not know when to make trouble." ”

Zhong Xian'er sighed lightly, in the past, Licheng stood on three legs, but after the decline of the Zhong family, the pattern has changed greatly, and now Licheng, in addition to the city lord's mansion, the five major families stand side by side on the bright side!

Speaking of that Mo Cheng, Zhong Li's face was a little uncomfortable, in fact, she didn't hate that Mo Cheng, and that Mo Cheng couldn't be annoying, speaking of which, the two were childhood sweethearts, and they played together from below.

But as they grew older and often stayed away from home over the years, the relationship between the two became a little weaker.

"Sister, can you not be that big guy in front of me in the future. ”

Zhong Li puffed out his cheeks, sprinkled coquettishly, and shook Zhong Xian'er's arm.

"Li'er, you're not too young, you are going to be sixteen now, and you should ...... too"

"I don't want it, isn't my sister not married either. ”

"You, but that Mo Cheng you can think about it again, although there are some martial idiots, but he still has nothing to say to you, no, I know that you are coming back recently, and I will come every three or five times."

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Mo Cheng Gongzi is here. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came to report, Zhong Xian'er showed a smile on her face, but Zhong Li suddenly collapsed.

The bell house is very large, the rockery is flowing water, and the pavilion is seated.

Steward Wei is old, so naturally he will not run around like Luo Chen, he ordered the guards of the Zhong Mansion, and then let Luo Chen wander around the Zhong Mansion.

There is a spacious open space in the rockery in the backyard of Zhongfu, and at this time, a big boy has a smile on his face, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, so he smirks vigorously.

Luo Chen, who was passing by here, leaned on the corner of the rockery like a fool, rubbing his chin with his palm, wondering in his heart, should this guy's brain be kicked by a donkey, right?

The young man is not big, about fifteen or sixteen, with explosive muscles, and Luo Chen is a little smacked when he looks at it.

Behind the young man, there were two guards with silent faces, like two door gods, standing on both sides of the young man on the left and right, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Mo Shao, the second lady has fallen asleep from exhaustion after sitting in a carriage all the way, why don't you come to visit another day. ”

At this time, a pretty-looking little maid stepped forward respectfully and saluted, timidly.

"It's okay, I'm waiting for her here, don't disturb her, let her have a good rest. ”

The young man scratched his head with a smile, and when he heard this, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed respectfully, and then retreated.
