Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 71: Rumors are spreading
The Zhao family's influence in Huyang City is extremely great, and its eyeliner is all over the city.
In this way, the speed of collecting intelligence from the outside world is naturally extremely fast, including the intelligence of the Zhao family's own people.
Li Protector took Zhao Sheng back to Zhao's house, but was stopped by several people with ulterior motives.
"Tut-tut...... Brother Sheng, what's going on? How could he be so seriously hurt! Come and see with me!" Zhao Han appeared out of place with a few followers, looking distressed on the surface, but anyone could see the contempt and ridicule in the depths of his eyes.
"Second son, now is not the time to joke. The third prince urgently needs medical treatment, and there is no delay!" Li Protector frowned, wanting to leave, but he didn't dare to bump into Zhao Han.
After all, Zhao Han is the grandson of the old lady, he is very expensive, and he is smart, and he is very vindictive.
There was once a son of a wealthy businessman who accidentally collided with Zhao Han, and was disemboweled the next day, and his death was extremely miserable. Moreover, although everyone knew that it was Zhao Han's hand, they couldn't find the slightest clue, and in the end they could only disappearββββ which can be seen.
So if there is no need, Li Protector doesn't want to offend the other party.
Zhao Han smiled gloomily, then patted his head and made a sudden appearance: "Look at you, I forgot not to say it! There is a famous doctor in my house, so I will hand over Brother Sheng to me! I will personally take him to treat his injuries!"
As he spoke, Zhao Han reached out and grabbed Zhao Sheng's shoulder.
How dare Li Protector give Zhao Sheng to him? Hurriedly took a step back to dodge, protected Zhao Sheng behind him, and said in a deep voice: "He is your younger brother!"
"Brother?" Zhao Han burst into laughter when he heard this, and said to the people around him: "Eh, tell me, what does he look like this son's younger brother?"
"Brother, what's the matter, the son of an adopted son, he is not as good as a concubine, he is beaten by an enlightened person, how can he have the dignity of a person who cultivates the truth?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that after I was beaten, I asked for a Spirit Devouring Pill from his father to go back to take revenge, but I didn't even let out a fart, so I came back in disgrace!"
"Hahaha! Shame on me and my grandmother's house, if this happened to me, I would have found a stone and killed me. Hahaha......"
They had already learned about this matter from the spies, and they came here to laugh at Zhao Sheng, how could such a great opportunity be let go in vain?
β......β
Zhao Sheng leaned weakly on Li Protector's body, enduring the pain of ten thousand ants' heart-devouring hearts.
Although Protector Li had temporarily sealed his pain points, the pain in his heart still tortured him unspeakably.
"Eh, tell me, what does he look like my son's younger brother?"
Listening to Zhao Han's slightly sarcastic words, Zhao Sheng originally wanted to reply to him: "How are you like my brother again?"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, a purple-black bruise flowed out of his mouth, and the words that came out of his mouth became the sound of vomiting blood and gasping for breath.
Zhao Han was entangled for a while, but seeing that Zhao Sheng didn't even have the slightest act of resistance, he suddenly felt bored, so he scolded "wretched" and left with a few followers.
Seeing this, Protector Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
...... ......
Recently, rumors have spread outside the city, and all of them are unfavorable to the Zhao family.
In the conference hall, the main people of the Zhao family gathered and discussed this matter, some were angry and some were disdainful.
"Second brother, has the source of the rumors been found?" Zhao Jiang, the eldest lord of the Zhao family, sat on the main seat, full of majesty, and said in a cold voice.
It's true, but what their Zhao family didn't do in the first place, but at this time, someone put a hat on it for no reason, then someone must have deliberately targeted the Zhao family behind their backs.
He is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, which makes Zhao Jiang feel very uncomfortable.
"Big brother, I've already sent someone to investigate, but now the rumors have been completely spread, and there is a miasma deliberately mixed by the other party, if you want to find out the source, it will take some time to carefully investigate, if you accidentally fall into the miasma, I am afraid that the mice in the dark will be even more arrogant. Zhao Ye, the second master in charge of intelligence, also had a gloomy face, and the two walnuts in his hand were pinched by him.
Those "rats" apparently came prepared.
He went up the vine several times, and as a result, he caught the hornet's nest several times, not only did he not catch the person who spread the rumors, but he almost caused a conflict with the family from the outer city who came to Huyang.
It's so deep!
"Be quick, you must be fast! Also, no one should spread this matter! The old man, hide it first, if his old man knows, I'm afraid he will blame me again. Zhao Jiang's eyes swept over everyone in the hall sharply, and his tone was unquestionable.
Some time ago, Mrs. Zhao just said that she wanted to abdicate and give up the position of the head of the family.
Although it is just a casual statement, since Chrysostom has been opened, it must have already had this idea.
If this matter is passed on, I am afraid that they will be scolded by the old man again, and if they take it back at that time, then they will not have to wait until next time.
After all, their Zhao family is a Xiuzhen family, and Old Lady Zhao, as the current head of the family, naturally holds the best quality spiritual property resources in his hands.
With the gradual increase in cultivation, the lifespan will become longer and longer, in case one day the old lady cultivates to the point of being able to rejuvenate, then the position of the head of this family will never be passed on to them.
"Also, the third child!" As soon as the words changed, Zhao Jiang immediately moved his gaze to Zhao Kai, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with your son? The Zhao family's face is about to be lost to him! How can you listen to and persuade the Spirit Devouring Pill, even an enlightened person can't be defeated, and in the past few years of cultivation, the spiritual property has not been given to your family, is this all used on dogs?"
Zhao Jiang didn't speak politely at all, and Zhao Kai couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard it in his ears.
He could hear that Zhao Jiang called Zhao Ye the second brother, and called him the third brother, and the latter sentence was not harsh when applied to dogs.
Being despised like this, no matter how good Rao is Zhao Kai's temperament is, he can't continue to stay in this house. Then he snorted coldly and walked away.
After Zhao Kai left, Zhao Jiang's face changed sharply, and his majesty was gone, leaving only a look of irritability and anger.
He and Zhao Ye were silent, and several direct descendants of the Zhao family sitting next to them also stared at each other, and they didn't dare to speak.
"Hmph, I thought this guy would be cheeky to stay, but I didn't expect to say a few words and couldn't help it?" At this time, Zhao Han, who had been sitting below, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Han'er, don't be rude!" Zhao Ye reprimanded him.
Zhao Jiang can scold Zhao Kai because Zhao Jiang is the eldest son in the family, but when Zhao Han says this, it seems a little disrespectful. If this word spreads, I am afraid that it will make people talk irresponsible and say that they do not understand etiquette.
In the face of his father's reprimand, Zhao Han looked indifferent, stood up and said, "Dad, uncle, what's there to worry about? Those who spread rumors will jump out sooner or later, rather than bothering and laboring, it is better to wait for the rabbit." For the sake of today, we should find a way to get the things that the old lady has been thinking about! You two don't know yet, right? That Zhao Sheng has already started to act secretly. β
"Oh?" Zhao Jiang and Zhao Ye let out a sound of surprise at the same time, Zhao Jiang said: "Didn't the old man have instructed, if you don't have absolute certainty, you can't easily do something to the mother and son of the Zhou family? After all, they are the only two people in the Zhou family who are still alive." If you force it to death, you'll never find it. β
Zhao Ye also asked urgently: "Could it be that Zhao Sheng already has absolute certainty? If so, then it will not be easy to do." β
Old lady Zhao attaches great importance to the things of the Zhou family, and for this reason, she does not hesitate to cut the grass and leave the roots, otherwise the mother and son of the Zhou family would have died and had no place to be buried.
It is precisely because Old Lady Zhao takes a fancy to it, so whoever can be the first to get such a thing may be able to stir Old Lady Zhao's heart for the choice of the next head of the family.
"He has a fart certainty," Zhao Han smiled contemptuously, turned his head to look at Zhao Ye, and said, "It's me, a child, who has a perfect strategy that can definitely pry open the mouths of that mother and son!"
