Chapter 812 – Killing a Blood Path
With the appearance of the Zhangsun family, there was no room for change. And it was also on this night that the Zhou family discovered that they were all alone. When the Zhou family received the news that almost all the leading figures in the entire Jinling had been invited to the Drunken House, everyone felt a sense of despondency.
In the quiet garden.
Wen En lowered his head and told Chen Wunuo about what happened at the Drunken Cloud Pavilion. Unconsciously, Chen Wunuo curled his lips: “Qing You has always been a smart person, it’s just that he has never been willing to get involved. This time, it’s probably his sister who found him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done anything for me. ”
“Good things can also have hidden dangers.”
Chen Wunuo stood up and looked to the east, where the sky had already begun to pale. “The people of the rear clans have never participated in the imperial government, and this waule set down by the successive emperors. That is why the people of the later generations have always been so prosperous, and why I have always believed in them. ”
He walked to the door, looked at the green vegetable garden, and the dewdrops on the tender leaves, “Wen En, what do you think that is?”
“A vegetable seedling.”
“That’s not right, that’s hope.”
Chen Wunuo laughed, “We knew from the very beginning that if you want to change, if you want more people to get more fairness, you have to start from Holy See. Until now, you still don’t understand why we allowed Chen Liuxi to go against the Left and the Zhou Family. It’s because of Chen Liuxi’s personal grudge, which coincidentally has the same goal as us. ”
“The tax collection of Jiangnan Road traditionally accounts for forty percent of the Da Xi city’s tax collection. That is the home of fish and rice, a land of wealth. The tax collection that the Holy See received from the citizens was not even ten percent of their annual income, so the citizens never complained.”
“But that’s only the song and dance of the memorial.”
Chen Wunuo squatted down and pulled out a seedling from the garden. “Zhou family and Left, the two families had privately raised the tax on Jiangnan Road, and then kept this part. Did he really think I didn’t know? However, since they have some achievements in terms of location and the amount of money they can raise is very low, I am too lazy to bother about it. ”
“But what I didn’t expect was that their greed would grow to sucerrifying degree. Left extended his hand into the army and began to place their people into the army nonstop. Wen En, do you know who the most important person in the army is? ”
“Commander of the First Army.”
“No, it’s a large number of officers from the middle and lower classes. They were the direct commanders of the army, and they had direct control over the soldiers. The number of people the Left had stationed in the army these years was shocking. This is also why the people of Left would plot against Fang Zheng. ”
Chen Wunuo looked at the plant in his hand that was about to be bitten, opened the back of the leaf, and saw the fat bug, “It was precisely because Fang Zheng was already working on two things back then that caused Fang Zheng’s death. “I just didn’t think that I would be that stupid …”
This was the first time Chen Wunuo mentioned his son in front of an outsider. How could he not be sad when his favorite son was dead? However, he had never expected that he would be so paranoid as his son.
Chen Zhongqi wanted to work for Da Xi and pursue an incomparably perfect world. But the path he took was off course. It was as if something had drilled into his brain, causing him to become paranoid and even go crazy. Wen En had thought that by doing this, Chen Zhongqi would sacrifice Fang Zheng and force the Holy See to clear out the people from Left and the Zhou Family …
From the looks of it, the Saint King should not be aware of this matter. The Sacred Emperor could see through many people, but just like every other father in the world, he was unwilling to believe that his own son was the type of person he didn’t like.
If some of the children had done bad things together, their parents would never have believed that their son was the main culprit. They would be so used to ascribing their son’s mistake to someone else’s child. They would shut their mouths and say that if it wasn’t for that person teaching their child, how could he have done such a bad thing?
Pui!
Wen En knew that he shouldn’t think too deeply about the background of this matter, because it was not something that he could afford to offend. Even the son of the Saint King had been killed. He was jusunuch. But he couldn’t help but think, what exactly did Chen Zhongqi think in his heart back then? Why would he make such a crazy decision?
Then, Wen En suddenly thought of a possibility. Chen Zhongqi had wanted to infiltrate into these people, so how could he possibly vote for Fang Zheng’s death?
Chen Zhongqi had personally participated in the conspiracy against Fang Zheng, which was why he was accepted by those people. Only by being accepted by those people aart of them could they truly understand these people and make the best preparations for eliminating them in the future. Thinking of this, Wen En’s mind buzzed... Could it be that Chen Zhongqi was not the mastermind behind the assassination?
If he wasn’t the mastermind, then he was just an insider. So he was involved, and at that moment chose to betray his best brother?
Wen En subconsciously shook his head, forcing himself not to think anymore.
Chen Wunuo’s heart was even heavier. Seemingly not noticing the change in Wen En’s expression, he casually threw the dying vegetable seedling to the ground and stepped on it. With a soft ‘pu’ sound, the bug behind the vegetable leaf was also stomped to death.
“Let’s talk about the Zhou family.”
He raised his head and looked to the south, “The Jiangnan Road’s taxes were only a small part of what they were paid at the beginning, but they have already reached the point of insanity. The people of the Zhou family had always understood one thing. Therefore, they had been plotting to establish a country outside of the Great Xixi all this time. Do you know why I had the Zhou family go to the south to help with the arranged marriage? ”
Wen En shook his head: “An important military matter, this old servant does not dare to think about it.”
“Because those wolfdogs in the south who dare to show their fangs at Da Xi are raised by the Zhou family. The reason we had Zhou Xiangyang bring our men south is to see how they can still conceal themselves. The Zhou family had moved a large amount of resources and money from Da Xi out of the Southern Wilderness. They had encouraged the small countries and barbarians of the Southern Wilderness to start a war against Da Xi in order to hide the fact that they were building a country further south. “It’s quite ingenious to attract my attention to the small countries and barbarian race in the Southern Wilderness. The Zhou Family is able to do whatever they want to them.”
Wen En felt like his heart had been struck by thunder. He never thought that the Zhou Family would actually be so daring to such an extent.
Chen Wunuo waved his hand: “So if Chen Liuxi wants to cause trouble, he can. Every sect in Jinling has their own backer, and I know of more than a dozen sects that support the Zhou family. Furthermore, these officials were all from the same family and could not be wiped out easily. Did he really use officials to punish officials? It would be weird if it could be cured, but should I use people from the martial arts world to cure it? These people are all lackeys raised by large families. Only the Hollow Jade Temple came from the outside, they did not have any connections nor did they have any backers before the Jinling. ”
Wen En lowered his head and said, “Now, the entire Jinling knows who the backer of the Hollow Jade Temple is.”
Chen Wunuo straightened his body, and exhaled a long breath: “That’s right, we are Chen Liuxi’s backer!”
He turned around and glanced at Wen En: “The sky is about to brighten.”
Wen En acknowledged, “That’s right, it’s almost daylight. It’s already been a while since the darkest period of daylight.”
“No, now is the darkest time.”
Chen Wunuo turned and returned to his room.
Wen En stood there and looked at the bright red sun that already revealed half of its head, and thought to himself: How is this the darkest time?
An Zheng carried a corpse on his back, and dragged dozens of heads on the street. He passed through the darkest period of time, and like an avenger who had passed through time and space, he arrived at the main gate of the Zhou Mansion the moment the sun rose.
Some people subconsciously wanted to stop them, but when they saw many familiar faces in the crowd, especially when they found Zhou Xiangtian’s head, none of the servants had the guts to stop them. Someone vomited loudly and lay limply on the ground, unable to utter a single word. Some people turned around and ran, but they forgot that the door was tightly shut and their heads smashed against the door, causing stars to appear in their eyes.
They pushed open the gate and ran crazily into the yard, shouting as they ran. Similarly, Zhou Tong, who had not slept for the entire night, was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. His son, Zhou Xiangtian, had already left the room in the middle of the night. The people he sent out hadn’t come back yet, so he had a vague feeling that something might go wrong.
Hearing someone’s shout from the courtyard, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard. Then, he saw that demon that seemed to have come from hell. What kind of person was he? Carrying a corpse on his back and a head on his shoulders, the rising sun sprinkled a layer of gold onto his body, making him look like a deity walking in hell.
At the same time, a window in a three-storey wooden building in the backyard that was facing the south door was pushed open. The mysterious elder that could decide the decision of the Zhou family head looked at the youth walking into the front yard with astonishment and muttered two words to himself … Why is it him?
Just then, a servant of the Zhou family ran over in a fluster and shouted from downstairs: “Elder Prison, my family’s Old Master invites you to the front yard.”
Prison Elder’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the young man walking in with big steps. His eyes were filled with hatred, and there was even a hint of fear that he did not want to be discovered.
“I know.”
Prison Elder said these four words as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His throat was hurting a little.
In the front yard.
Zhou Du walked towards An Zheng with large strides. When he saw that his son’s head was being dragged by that person, his heart immediately ached.
“You’re courting death!”
There were almost no other reactions from Zhou Du, and he rushed towards An Zheng witap of his feet. As he charged forward, he grabbed at the air and went straight for An Zheng’s throat. His attack was at least three hundred meters away from An Zheng, but in the blink of an eye, three hundred meters away, a huge black hand suddenly appeared in front of An Zheng and grabbed at him.
An Zheng stopped in his tracks, raised the human head up, and threw it over. With a “pu” sound, the giant hand grabbed one of the heads and crushed it.
The black hand passed through the scattered heads, still grabbing towards An Zheng’s neck.
Seeing that the palm had arrived, An Zheng raised his hand and extended outwards. His left hand pushed forward, and within a golden-purple ray of light, the illusory palm emitted a golden-purple brilliance, heavily colliding with the illusory black hand.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The two palms collided.
An Zheng uncontrollably retreated three steps, while Zhou Chuan, who was further away, was pushed back by the impact. The air explosion appeared where the two palms collided, immediately engulfing half of the Zhou Mansion. The strength of one palm strike from the two people in the front yard shattered into pieces … After the loud noise, the entire front yard was almost gone.
From within the smoke, An Zheng walked out step by step, and carried Niu Zhong’s corpse up into the air.
“Brother, I believe that even with your eyes closed, you can still see it …” Let’s kill our way out of this dirty place today. ”
