Chapter Thirty-Eight: Chu Xiu's Handle
Chu Xiu observed the three strange people through the window, but the three seemed to be aware of Chu Xiu's gaze, and swept it over, and the essence in his eyes even had a feeling that made Chu Xiu's eyes tingle.
Chu Xiu hurriedly glanced at the scenery on the street, and the three of them did not continue to pay attention to Chu Xiu, but walked directly into the inn and asked the shopkeeper to help them prepare a meal and send it into the room.
After staying for a while, Chu Xiu whispered to Ma Kuo: "Send a few brothers to stay in the inn for a long time, pay attention to their movements, but don't get too close." “
Ma Kuo nodded, and Chu Xiu left temporarily.
Whether these people were coming for the Chu family or not, Chu Xiu did not plan to contact them for the time being.
Strength is limited, if the other party is really a master of the fivefold qi control, Chu Xiu is going to contact them now, what kind of scheming is playing, then it is proper to find death.
And at this time in the Shen family, Shen Rong, the chief housekeeper of the Shen family, also felt very aggrieved.
Before, he was still happily waiting to take over half of the Li family's family business, but he didn't expect that after the matter was over, the Li family would let Chu Xiu be destroyed!
The family business in hand is gone, which makes Shen Rong scold the Li family in his heart, so many people can't solve a Chu Xiu.
To be honest, if the Li family hadn't come to him to talk about this matter before, then even if Shen Rong knew that Chu Xiu had destroyed the Li family, he would only be surprised by Chu Xiu's strength and the degree of waste of the Li family.
But now the Li family has promised him half of the family business, but now it's all gone, which makes Shen Rong feel like the fat in his mouth has been taken away.
So during this period of time, Shen Rong's temper was very bad, which made those subordinates who were waiting for him tremble.
Everyone knows that in the Shen family, this master is more difficult to serve than the head of the family.
At this time, one of Shen Rong's henchmen carefully served a cup of ginseng tea, Shen Rong took it and took a sip, immediately squirted out, and scolded: "Do you have a long heart? Such a hot tea is brought up, and you want to burn me to death!"
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Uncle Rong is angry, and the little one will go and change the cup again." ”
Shen Rong threw the teacup aside, snorted coldly, and said: "Okay, don't bother, grandma's, it's all because of that Chu Xiu, and the old man has not been doing well recently! I don't know what kind of//luck he has taken, and he can destroy the Li family." ”
When the subordinate heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Uncle Rong, speaking of which, Chu Xiu can destroy the Li family, the villain feels very normal." ”
Shen Rong sneered and said, "What do you kid know? How can you speculate about the war between the two families at will? You just have to brag about these things with those subordinates, and you still want to show off in front of the old man?"
The subordinate smiled embarrassedly and said: "Of course the villain doesn't dare to show off in front of Uncle Rong, but the strength of the gang of bandits under Chu Xiu is really strong, and most of the subordinates of the Li family have not even killed anyone, so it is normal that they can't be beaten." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Rong was suddenly taken aback, and he hurriedly said, "Those people under Chu Xiu are bandits, how can you be sure?"
The subordinate smiled embarrassedly and said: "Because the villain couldn't eat because he was really poor before, he also worked as a bandit in Nanyan Mountain for a while, but you also know the villain's courage Uncle Rong, so he only dared to shout behind him with a knife, and he really didn't kill anyone."
The bandit boss I was with was called Lian Laosan, and he was also a guy with no skills, he once took someone else's money to rob and kill Chu Xiu, but he was killed by Chu Xiu and another wave of bandits, and the leader of that wave of bandits was called Ma Kuo.
If the villain hadn't run fast at the beginning, he would definitely have been killed by them.
But fortunately, they killed the short-lived ghost of Lian Laosan, and the villain was able to join the Shen family and be favored by Uncle Rong.
Some time ago, when I went to the street, I saw Chu Xiu walking on the street with Ma Kuo, and then I paid special attention to it, and almost all of Chu Xiu's subordinates were the same group of bandits who followed Ma Kuo at the beginning. ”
When Shen Rong heard this, a hint of strangeness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
His strength is mediocre, and his ability is mediocre, but he can be the big housekeeper of the Shen family for so many years, and Shen Rong still has a little scheming.
When this subordinate mentioned Ma Kuo, Shen Rong immediately thought of a lot of things.
The bandits of the Southern Funeral Mountain took refuge in Chu Xiu, and as a result, Chu Xiu reached an agreement with the bandits of the Northern Funeral Mountain for the first time on his business, and took the caravan from the Funeral Mountain safe and sound, how could there be such a coincidental thing in the world?
Everyone knows that the north and south mountains are connected, and Chu Xiu's subordinates are bandits from the south of the mountain, so he may also have a deep relationship with the bandits in the north and the mountains.
Then Chu Xiu's caravan was snatched away by his younger brother Chu Shen Rong had also heard of it, he was fine when he walked to the mountain, but something happened to his brother as soon as he left, although on the surface it seemed that Chu injured himself to die, but after careful consideration, there are many doubts in it.
Thinking of this, Shen Rong suddenly showed an unpredictable smile, he seemed to already know this Chu Xiu's handle!
Taking out the agreement that Li Cheng had written to him before, Shen Rong muttered: "Fortunately, I didn't tear it up at the time, but now it's useful." ”
Turning around, Shen Rong smiled and scolded the subordinate: "Why didn't you kid say this kind of thing earlier?"
The subordinate smiled awkwardly and said: "Being a bandit is not a glorious thing after all, at that time, the villain was not favored by Uncle Rong, of course, I didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of others." ”
Shen Rong laughed and said: "This time, you kid has made a great contribution! Go, follow me to meet Na Chu Xiu, the Li family promised to give me half of the family business, this time I have to take out two-thirds of it from Na Chu Xiu's hands!"
At this time, Chu Xiu was still practicing knives in his mansion, and the three strange people who suddenly appeared gave Chu Xiu a sense of crisis, and he was going to observe first, whether the purpose of these three people was good or evil.
However, regardless of good or evil, when is one's own strength the most important, for Chu Xiu, who is not strong enough now, everything is mainly about improving his strength.
At this moment, Gao Bei suddenly knocked on the door and came in, and said in a low voice: "Son, Shen Rong of the Shen family is visiting." ”
Chu Xiu stopped the knife, took a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said in surprise: "Shen Rong, who is that?"
Gao Bei reacted, with Chu Xiu's previous status, he didn't seem to know this person, Gao Bei hurriedly said: "Shen Rongnai is the chief butler of the Shen family, although his strength is very weak, and his ability is also very average, but because now the Shen family has worshiped Shen Bai of the Canglan Sword Sect and the current head of the Shen family, Shen Mo, have been taken care of by him since childhood, so Shen Rong's status in the Shen family is extremely high, and even the head of the family has to be polite when he sees him." ”
"Then what did he come to me for?" Chu Xiu wondered.
Gao Bei shook his head: "The little one doesn't know, he only brought one of his subordinates over, and said that he wanted to see you, Gongzi." ”
Chu Xiu walked out with some doubts, Gao Bei arranged it in a private room in the restaurant, and after pushing the door in, Chu Xiu showed a natural smile and arched his hand: "Steward Shen is a distinguished guest, I don't know if Steward Shen comes to me, what advice do you have?"
Facing Chu Xiu, Shen Rong's attitude was arrogant, he didn't even get up at all, he just glanced at Gao Bei behind Chu Xiu and said, "What I want to tell you is a bit crucial, and it is not good to fall into the ears of others." ”
Chu Xiu frowned slightly, but still let Gao Bei go down.
After Gao Bei left, Shen Rong took out a piece of paper, handed it to Chu Xiu, and said lightly: "Take a look." ”
Chu Xiu took it and took a look, it was an agreement written by Li Cheng, after he killed himself, Shen Rong wanted to protect him from the Li family from being retaliated against by the Chu family, and the Li family wanted to give half of the family business to Shen Rong as a reward.
In other words, the old thing in front of him can be said to be the conspirator of the Li family to kill him, although he did not succeed in the end.
Now that the people of the Li family are dead, as long as Shen Rong doesn't take out this thing, no one will know.
As a result, now Shen Rong is showing this thing to himself in a grand manner, what does this mean?
Chu Xiutie blushed, slapped the piece of paper on the table, and said coldly, "Steward Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Rong said lightly: "My meaning is very simple, the Li family promised to give me half of the family business, but in the end there was an accident, you didn't die, but killed all the people of the Li family, and you also annexed the Li family."
In this way, I didn't get the things that the Li family promised me, so now you Chu Xiu will give these things, but it's not half, but two-thirds!"
Chu Xiu laughed angrily and said, "Steward Shen, are you old and confused? You want to help the Li family kill me, but it didn't work, but the lion opened his mouth to ask me for something, why?"
Shen Rong sneered and said, "Why? Just because I know that you Chu Xiu colluded with the bandits in the north and south of the Martyr's Mountain, robbed and killed the passing caravans, and even robbed and killed your own caravan of the Chu family, and abolished your own brother!"
