PS: Thank you for the reward of 15,000 starting coins
Hearing Han Wei say that Chu Xiu's identity was problematic, Zhang Songling's face immediately showed a strange color.
To be honest, he investigated Chu Xiu's identity just in case, for fear that behind the other party were those demonic murderers, so he didn't have any evil intentions, but he didn't expect that this investigation would really find out the problem.
"What's the news over there?"
Han Wei said: "That's how Feng Manlou explained, because there is too little information about Chu Xiu, so most of their information can only be speculation.
There was a tragedy on the side of Wei County, the Chu family in Tongzhou Mansion of Wei County was destroyed, and only his concubine Chu Xiu did not know the life and death.
But because the person who died in this tragedy was the younger brother of Shen Bai, the eldest disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect's 'Falling Rain Sword', Shen Bai suspected that the murderer was Chu Xiu, so he started to be wanted in Wei County, but found nothing.
Because this Chu Xiu was unknown before, and he was not a character, no portrait has been handed down.
However, according to age and personality, there are two Chu Xiu who both use knives, and from these commonalities, the results drawn from Feng Manlou's side are the same person.
Of course, because Feng Manlou is not sure, so this news Feng Manlou only charged eighty percent of the price. ”
Zhang Songling sneered twice and said: "Eight achievements are enough! I didn't expect that after such a check, I would really find out something good!"
Han Wei on the side was surprised: "Family Master, do you want to sell this news of Chu Xiu to the Canglan Sword Sect?"
However, the head of the family, the Canglan Sword Sect is the sect of Wei County, and you also know the relationship between Wei County and our Beiyan, even if they know the news, they don't dare to arrest people with great fanfare. ”
Zhang Songling sneered: "Who said that I was going to sell this news of Chu Xiu to the Canglan Sword Sect? In Feng Manlou's intelligence, the real point is not that this Chu Xiu is wanted and hunted down by the Canglan Sword Sect, but that he has no power behind him, but is a lost dog who fled in a hurry!"
Han Wei shook his head, still not understanding what Zhang Songling meant.
But he knew that being remembered by Zhang Songling, an old fox, Chu Xiu would be unlucky this time.
When it comes to martial arts, Zhang Songling's strength is not even as good as his eldest son Zhang Baitao, who has already entered the Bashan Sword Sect.
But before Zhang Baitao entered the Bashan Sword Sect, the Zhang family was able to have such a large foundation in Shanyang Mansion, but it was all due to Zhang Songling's calculations.
After nightfall, the auction side had already sent the secret box that Chu Xiu had auctioned to Zhang's mansion.
Zhang Baichen said on the side: "Dad, didn't Chu Xiu say that he has inside information, let's open it and see what is in his secret box." ”
Zhang Songling nodded, he was also a little curious, but he just wanted to open it to see what kind of treasure it was, but the next person suddenly reported that Chu Xiu had visited.
A gloomy smile appeared on Zhang Songling's face, and he placed the secret box on the table.
After a while, Chu Xiu was brought in by the descendants of the Zhang family, but the moment he came in, Chu Xiu felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Zhang Songling's attitude towards Chu Xiu was quite polite before, both parties were congenital martial artists, at least Zhang Songling didn't treat Chu Xiu as a junior and put on that arrogant attitude.
As a result, now seeing Chu Xiu coming in, Zhang Songling was still sitting on the chair, not saying a word, not even moving.
And Zhang Baichen beside him looked at Chu Xiu, with a playful look on his face, and he even had a feeling of revenge.
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of discoloration, and he said lightly: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, Master Zhang, this time we can be regarded as happy cooperation." ”
When the words fell, Chu Xiu saw the scarlet secret box on the table, and he was about to reach out to take it.
However, at this moment, Zhang Songling directly took the lead and held the secret box in his arms, which made Chu Xiu's face suddenly cold.
"Master Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Songling said lightly: "It's not interesting, I just want to talk to you Gongzi Chu." ”
"Oh, what are you talking about?" a hint of coldness flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.
Zhang Songling sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Of course, let's talk about Young Master Chu, what is it like to be wanted by the Canglan Sword Sect, one of the seven sects and eight factions!"
Chu Xiu lowered his head, the murderous intent in his eyes loomed, but when he raised his head again, the murderous intent had disappeared without a trace.
"The news of the Canglan Sword Sect was transmitted so quickly, and even the people of Beiyan knew my news?"
Seeing Chu Xiu's calm expression, Zhang Songling was surprised and said, "You're not afraid?"
Chu Xiu sneered: "Why should I be afraid? I had expected this day a long time ago, and I didn't want to be incognito for the rest of my life.
The Canglan Sword Sect only wanted me in Wei County, not in the entire Beiyan and the entire rivers and lakes.
Family Master Zhang, what do you mean by these things now? If you want to threaten me with the Canglan Sword Sect, then you are thinking too much.
The Canglan Sword Sect's sphere of influence is in Wei County, do you think the Canglan Sword Sect will make a large-scale dispatch and come to Beiyan to arrest me with great fanfare just for the relatives of a disciple?"
Zhang Songling sneered: "The Canglan Sword Sect can't come to arrest you with great fanfare, but if I catch you and send you to the Canglan Sword Sect, you say that as one of the seven sects and eight sects, how much benefit will they give me?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Songling clapped his hands directly, and suddenly dozens of elite martial artists of the Zhang family surrounded him, among which there were as many as five in the Blood Condensation Realm, and the rest were also elites in the Zhang family.
A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes and said, "Family Master Zhang, is this going to be strong, I was very sincere in wanting to cooperate with you before, Family Master Zhang." ”
Zhang Songling shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to do it either, I just want to let Gongzi Chu recognize your current situation."
The Canglan Sword Sect is a big faction in Wei County, if there is no need, my Zhang family doesn't want to deal with the Canglan Sword Sect because of a little petty profit, so Master Chu, if you take out some property to buy your life today, I can let you go, and even take the initiative to help you cover up the news in Shanyang Mansion. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Songling's eyes showed a hint of greed and said: "If the Chu family is destroyed, you are the only one who is alive, and most of the Chu family's property should also be in your hands, right? ”
In fact, from the very beginning, Zhang Songling never thought of betraying Chu Xiu's news to the Canglan Sword Sect, and he didn't even think of capturing Chu Xiu and sending it to the Canglan Sword Sect.
The reason is very simple, the Canglan Sword Sect just said that Chu Xiu was wanted, and did not say who offered Chu Xiu's information or directly captured Chu Xiu and how much reward could be given.
The Canglan Sword Sect is the largest faction in Wei County, and for the martial arts forces in the entire Wei County, everyone has to give the Canglan Sword Sect a face, so the Canglan Sword Sect does not need to be rewarded for issuing a wanted warrant, and even those sects will be happy because they can have a relationship with the Canglan Sword Sect.
The Zhang family is a small force in Beiyan, even if they take the initiative to send Chu Xiu's news or Chu Xiu himself to the Canglan Sword Sect, it is estimated that they will not get anything good, and it is just that Shen Bai himself to express his gratitude.
And if the Zhang family didn't know how to open their mouths to the lion of the Canglan Sword Sect, then they would die a miserable death.
So after learning the true identity of this Chu Xiu, Zhang Songling had already made up his mind, he wanted to squeeze out all the treasures of the Chu family on Chu Xiu's body!
The Chu family was wiped out, Chu Xiu was the only one alive, and all the treasures such as the Chu family's belongings and cultivation resources must be on Chu Xiu, and these things together are definitely a big income for the current Zhang family.
It's just that Zhang Songling didn't know that Chu Xiu was seriously injured at that time and lost an arm, and because Shen Mo also died in the Chu family, where did he dare to stay in the Chu family for a long time?
Chu Xiu didn't have time to find the wealth and resources of the Chu family, only the silver on his body was still found from Chu Zongguang's house.
Chu Xiu's eyes flashed with coldness and said: "The head of the Zhang family has such a big appetite! I'm not afraid to support myself, this ability to rob houses is stronger than that of bandits." ”
Zhang Songling took out a bronze forged pine pattern ancient sword, which was a blade produced in the land of Bashu, and the four-turn long sword forged by the swordsmith of Bashu was given to him by his eldest son Zhang Baitao as a gift for his 50th birthday.
Zhang Songling pointed at Chu Xiu with his sword and said indifferently: "Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, if you are an innate martial artist with a background, my Zhang family will not dare to offend."
And if you are an ordinary casual cultivator innate martial artist, there are no good things on you, and my Zhang family is too lazy to bother to offend, and it is no good to fight to the death.
But you Chu Xiu is now very rich, and you are just a lost dog wanted by the Canglan Sword Sect, who will you move if you don't move?
Chu Xiu, it's not easy for you to be born at a young age, but it's a pity, you are young and vigorous, you still have too little experience in the rivers and lakes, and you still act in such a high-profile manner after provoking such a big thing, this time the old man will help you have a better memory!"
