Chapter 556: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (1)
The Wu family ranks at the bottom of the ranks among the magnates in the inner city, but how many of the magnates in the inner city are there? Being able to enter the inner city itself shows that the Wu family is very strong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A hundred years ago, the Wu family was strong for a while, and there were many high-ranking officials above the third rank in the court. But after that era passed, the Wu family fell a lot, and now although there is still a high-ranking official of the third rank in the court, he is not a real power, but a Qingshui Yamen.
However, as a family in the inner city, the Wu family's heritage is still profound, and there are three desperate overhauls in the family, one of them is at the peak of the Peerless Fusion Realm, and the other two are also in the late stage of the Peerless Realm.
In addition to this, they also hired four desperate "caretakers".
The ancestral house of the Wu family has also been continuously strengthened and rebuilt for dozens of generations, with an eighth-order large array defense, and it is said that there is also a large-scale war magic weapon hidden in the house.
It's just that the emperor turned a blind eye, and no one went to check them.
The Wu family wants to restore the glory of their ancestors and has been secretly looking for opportunities, but there are too many people in the court who want to please the emperor, and it is not the turn of the Wu family.
And this time, the royal family got the news half a year ago that Chen Yunpeng's realm showed signs of a breakthrough. And once it breaks through, it will be a new Heavenly Realm!
The royal family will never allow the Chen family to have a heavenly realm, but in order to block the mouth of the world, they can't really kill the Chen family directly, so they need someone else to come forward to confront the Chen family, contain the Chen family, suppress Chen Yunpeng, and make him unable to break through.
It's not too late to start at this time, and it's not so easy to take the step of becoming a Heavenly Realm. Just think about it, in the entire mortal realm, there are many desperate realm overhauls, and the peak of the peerless realm is not one thousand but eight hundred, but there are only a few people in the heavenly realm?
But to the surprise of the royal family, when they secretly released the news, hoping that someone would come forward to suppress Chen Yunpeng, the top families in the Beijing Division actually pretended to be deaf and dumb!
So they can only retreat to the next best thing, to hint at those first-class families.
However, these first-class families are also submissive, and some people even secretly say that they can help, but they will never be the first bird.
Now the royal family is completely on fire!
What do you mean? You actually don't think that the royal family will be able to completely suppress the Chen family?
I have to say that today's royal family is indeed a group of fools, including the vicious queen, no one has a unique vision.
Actually, the masters think a little more complicated.
They may not be more optimistic about the Chen family, but they don't need to wade into this troubled waterβthe great family is already strong enough, and the important positions in the court are all their people, so how can they please the emperor? All the emperor can give is an official position, and they already have it.
And once the Chen family kills back, they will be affected.
Weighing the risks and pros and cons, they decided to sit back and watch the tiger fight.
But the Wu family jumped out at this time, and they needed to curry favor with the royal family. So the Wu family united several Beijing families who were in a similar situation to them, but their strength was weaker, and they started to be the first birds to suppress the Chen family.
With this shot, the Wu family is dumb and eats coptis, and they can't say what they are suffering.
They didn't expect that the Chen family would be so powerful!
In order to suppress the Chen family's business, they grabbed orders below cost. This made it even worse for several families that were not very wealthy financially. But he had already boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, but he had to do it.
In terms of cultivation, the Wu family is ready to let their ancestor, the peak of the Peerless Fusion Realm, make a move, whether it is an open battle, a secret fight, or a Tao, in short, to frustrate Chen Yunpeng's sharp spirit, so that he will be bound to the Peerless Fusion Realm, and he will not be able to break through the Heavenly Realm in one go.
And Chen Zhining got the guidance of Chao Dongliu, and prepared a gift to visit Mr. Yue early the next morning.
Mr. Yue's heart was already inclined to Chen Zhining, but because of his friendship with the emperor, it was not easy to directly support the Chen family.
He entertained Chen Zhining very warmly, and after Chen Zhining gave the gift, he asked about certain things.
Mr. Yue knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I know some of the details of the Wu family, but you won't care about those when you think about Xiao Chen."
There is only one that has anything to do with you, there was an old man in the previous generation of the Wu family who once took care of a poor young monk. He recommended this monk to enter Taixue, and later this young monk gradually stood out, and now he is the Great Sacrificial Wine of Taixue. β
Chen Zhining suddenly realized that if you talk about all kinds of stories in the Jingshi, Chao Dongliu is not as good as Mr. Yue - or rather, no one can compare to Mr. Yue at all.
If I hadn't come to ask, and I went directly to fight to the death with the Wu family, I am afraid that he and Leng Baji would have turned against each other.
He thanked Mr. Yue, and after he went back, he prepared a gift carefully, and went straight to Taixue after taking it.
It was still that small building, Leng Baji was still obsessed with his ancient book restoration and sorting work, and when he saw Chen Zhining coming, he smiled faintly: "I still have a conscience, I know that I am an old man." β
Chen Zhining put down the gift with a smile: "You are also my teacher, of course you can't be ungrateful." β
The gift was opened, and four bottles of thousand-year-old true brew suddenly made Leng Baji's eyes light up: "Okay, I accept this filial piety." β
Chen Zhining chatted with him for a few words, asked about Taixue's recent situation, and then said, "You and the Wu family ......."
As soon as he spoke, Leng Baji understood what he meant, nodded and said, "There is indeed some connection." β
Chen Zhining felt slightly tricky: "The Wu family has been very good at filming the emperor's sycophants recently. β
Leng Baji glanced at him and said, "Boss Wu Zhenjiu helped me back then, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to enter Taixue, and I wouldn't be where I am now."
Boss Wu has passed away, and he is saying that he shouldn't have been, but if I don't explain it, I'm afraid you kid won't feel at ease.
His old man helped me back then, there was a purpose, after I became the Taixue Great Sacrifice Wine, the Wu family would stuff three unqualified students into Taixue every year.
I've endured it for five years, and it's really painful for me. β
Chen Zhining understands very well that with Leng Baji's upright and selfless temperament, it is really uncomfortable to be blackmailed by others to repay his kindness, and he has to violate the law.
"Until the death of Master Wu, the Wu family still wanted to do this, but I couldn't bear it. Since then, my relationship with the Wu family has gradually drifted apart. β
He nodded and said to Chen Zhining: "You can come and ask me, the first thing is that you do remember me as a teacher, which is good." Second, it shows that you are more mature than before and more secure in doing things, which is better. β
He waved his hand: "Do what you want, don't care about me, old man." β
"Thank you, teacher. Chen Zhining thanked him and withdrew, and he had no scruples in his heart.
......
When Chen Zhining got home, he heard his mother getting angry, and he quietly listened to it and understood: the Wu family robbed them of a single business again.
Chen Zhining gritted his teeth and thought about going out.
He found Ying Yuansu, who practiced hard at home and became a good man.
Ying Yuansu is now disciplined by Yun Tianyin to be very "well-behaved", he doesn't dare to drink flower wine, he doesn't dare to go out to fool around with fox friends and dogs, and he doesn't dare to wander around the streets.
In exchange, the advantage is that there are two hours a day, and I am tired of being with Yun Tianyin. It should be as good as it gets.
Chen Zhining dragged him out, and Ying Yuansu said "righteous words": "Zhining, what are you looking for me to do so late?" I'll talk about places like Xiaozui Lou first, but I promised Tianyin that I would never go to those fireworks ......places again."
Chen Zhining glared at him fiercely: "Look at your little bit of talent!"
Then he said, "I have a business with you, but you may have to play a bitter trick." β
Ying Yuansu hesitated: "Do you want to be beaten?"
"It's hard to say. Chen Zhining said: "There is a seventy percent chance of being beaten." β
"This ......" Ying Yuansu gritted his teeth: "No problem, our brothers don't talk about it." Chen Zhining said with a smile: "Duplicity, right? I don't know you yet, don't worry, it will definitely be beneficial if you don't let your efforts go in vain." β
Ying Yuansu grinned: "I don't want any benefits now, I already have Tianyin." β
Chen Zhining covered his face with his hands and said bitterly: "Ying Yuansu, you have a dog day today!"
......
Early the next morning, the young master Ying, who had been taught by Chen Zhining face-to-face, resumed his previous dress, with oily hair and flour, brocade and satin, and shook a folding fan to go to the street gracefully.
This treasure shop is not small, and its scale can also rank among the top ten in the entire Jingshi, which is the most profitable industry of the Wu family.
As soon as he entered the door, Young Master Ying shouted at the top of his voice: "Are there any other people who can breathe? Why are the guests coming to the door, and there is no one to say hello?"
"You're careless, you're neglecting. "Immediately, a shopkeeper came up, and his cultivation was not weak, it turned out to be in the middle of the Xuanzhao Realm.
The person who sells the magic weapon must be a monk, otherwise he can't even explain the good or bad to the customer. After the shopkeeper greeted him, he asked very politely: "What treasures do the guest officers want?" We Wu Zhenji dare not say that they have everything, but they can also be counted in Jingshi, if you can't find it with us, the entire Jingshi will not be able to find it." β
"Bolt your cow first, it's already flying into the sky. Young Master Ying scolded angrily, this is his true performance, and Ying Dashao used to be like this.
The shopkeeper was annoyed when he was scolded, but he could only smile on his face: "Yes, yes, why don't you take a look first?"
Ying Yuansu turned around: "What kind of garbage is it? This is the level of your Wu Zhenji?"
The shopkeeper said quietly: "Of course there are good things, but it is impossible to hang them outside." β
Ying Yuansu glared, stepped on the counter, and kicked the counter almost over: "What do you mean?
The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him: "Yo, isn't this the eldest young master, the new guy doesn't know you, these things stain your eyes, please follow me, there are good things in it." β
"That's pretty much it. Ying Yuansu complained, followed in, and took a bite of the guy without reluctance.
