Chapter 413: An Ingenious Gift
Zuan spread his hands: "The strength of this world is respected, and a big fist means truth and virtue. Of course, I am called conquering people with virtue."
Liu Yao was almost angry. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
In this world, strength is indeed the most respectable, so it would be fine if he loses to a strong man.
But how much is this guy Zuan? Is it because of his own strength? Didn’t he rely on these three thousand red robe troops?
Something that can be relied on people’s power!
The anger value from Liu Yao +999!
Zuan looked like you come, come, he could think clearly. Chu Zhongtian was too soft before, but he had always shown himself as a good man, which made all forces come to provoke, causing the Chu family to fall into turmoil.
Since that's the case, he would do the opposite and kill the chicken to show the monkey, and Liu Yao was the best candidate.
As the saying goes, one punch can prevent a hundred punches from coming!
Xie Yi, who was standing aside, was also worried that the two sides would really have a conflict. It would be better for him to help, and it would be better if he didn't help. He hurriedly stepped forward to appease Liu Yao: "General Liu calmed down. I want to ask you some things for you, please..."
While speaking, she persuaded him to the other side, Xie Daoyun hurried over to help. She was beautiful and had a good temperament, and she also had a connection with the prince, so it was just right to ease the atmosphere.
Only then did Liu Yao glared at Zuan in disappointment, but did not make a comeback on the spot, so he went to the other side to chat with Xie Yi.
Xie Xiu came to Zuan and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Zu really made me look at him with admiration today. He actually dared to confront a ninth-grade peak in person."
Zuan snorted: "What's the peak of the ninth grade? I've been talking and laughing with the Grand Master."
He did not tell any lies, so he wouldn't talk about Old Man Mi and Wei Feng. Which of the strong men he saw in the secret realm before was weaker than Liu Yao?
Xie Xiu: "..."
But he didn't know this, just pretending that the other party was bragging. Of course, he didn't care, he only cared about another thing: "By the way, what's going on with you and my sister? I've never seen my sister take the initiative to help others like this."
"That's it." Zuan smiled.
"What the hell is going on?" Xie Xiu was anxious.
"Go and ask your sister." Zuan smiled mysteriously, and then greeted the people under his command to enter the Chu Mansion.
The imperial guards at the door originally wanted to stop them, but when they thought that Liu Yao had just been defeated, a group of people didn't know how to stop them.
Fortunately, Zuan did not bring everyone in, and only selected dozens of subordinates to enter the mansion together, and the large army remained outside the door to guard.
Xie Yi, who had been paying attention to this place, breathed a sigh of relief. This guy could tell the difference and did not completely turn against the imperial guards.
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru were surprised and happy when they saw him coming with the Red Rou Army. Chu Yucheng and Chu Hongcai asked the two of them and hurriedly left to visit their families.
Qin Wanru was happiest: "Azu, you did not disappoint me."
"Master, please rest assured. With the brothers of the Red Rou Army outside, they dare not mess with the Chu family." Zuan smiled slightly.
Chu Zhongtian was a little worried: "But the deficit of the Salt Transportation Command is still there. Even if they are unyielding and make a move, our Chu family will be over if they continue to investigate."
Qin Wanru snorted: "What are you afraid of? At worst, you can become a bandit. Heifeng Village and the Giant Whale Gang could live a prosperous life before. Can our Chu family not compare to them?"
He is such a bad temper. Fortunately, Chuyan is not like her.
Zuan secretly wiped his sweat and said, "It's not as serious as his wife imagined. The book that was stolen was not a real account book."
Qin Wanru and Chu Zhongtian looked at him with questions.
Only then did Zuan explain the matter of Chu Chuyan replacing the account book.
Chu Zhongtian laughed: "Chuyan is so smart, hahaha~"
Qin Wanru also had a smile on her face. The big stone that had been pressing on her heart for the past few days was finally put down, but she immediately reacted: "This girl is really, even I want to cheat her. I will deal with her when I come back!"
...
After leaving the Chu family, Zuan asked the army to set up camp nearby. Obviously, they would not leave until the Chu family's investigation was found.
Xie Yi was worried that the Red Painting Army and the Imperial Army would get fire, so he also asked Xie Xiu and Pang Chun to take the city defense force to respond at any time nearby.
Liu Yao was unhappy, but the Red Robe Army was too strong, and Xie Yi was clearly protecting him, so he had no choice.
But he was not in a hurry. Anyway, time was on his side. As long as you find out a few of the matters in the account book, you can be convicted if you have a clear evidence.
As long as the crime is confirmed, unless Xie Yi openly rebelled, he would never be able to help the Chu family again.
Even if Xie Yi helps the Chu family, it doesn't matter. He can ask the emperor for the imperial edict and suppress them together.
Humph, Zuan, wait for me, let you be proud for another two days, and soon I will let you know how cruel this world is!
Seeing a series of anger values in the backstage, Zuan curled his lips, "Courage, have the ability to come here now."
He was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, so he went to find Xie Daoyuan directly.
After all, the other party just helped him a lot, so I still have to thank him.
"Where are Miss Xie going?" Zuan was a little surprised to see her carriage leaving.
The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing Xie Daoyuan's quiet figure: "Ms. Zheng's wedding today, I have a good relationship with her, so I always have to go over and congratulate her."
"What!" Zuan was shocked. He had been busy all the time, but he didn't notice that it had been the next day.
"Mr. Zu, do you want me to bring you a gift?" Xie Daoyun blinked and said mischievously.
She didn't know the secret between Zuan and Zheng Dan, but the two were teachers and students in the academy, so they should be congratulated.
"No, I'll go over to congratulate you in person." Zuan said in a deep voice.
Noting that his face was as gloomy as water, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't think much about it: "Azu, should you go there together?"
She was also worried that Zuan stayed here and had another conflict with Liu Yao. The Xie family might not be able to stop him. It would be better to separate the two.
"Okay, wait a moment." Zuan smiled, ran to the back and explained some, and then jumped directly to Xie Daoyun's carriage, "It's OK."
Xie Daoyuan's face turned slightly red, thinking that I didn't let you ride in the same carriage with me when I called you.
She opened her mouth, but thought that the two of them had just shared a horse, and it seemed that they were a bit pretentious to refuse now, so she stopped saying anything.
However, in a private space like a carriage, she was still a little embarrassed to face with a young man so close to her, and hurriedly found a topic to resolve her embarrassment: "Azu, what are your plans next?"
"Of course, soldiers come to block the water and soil," Zuan replied.
Xie Daoyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I shouldn't say these words, but since we are friends, I can't watch you continue to fall into the abyss as friends."
Zuan was stunned: "What does Miss Xie want to say?"
Xie Daoyun pursed her thin red lips: "I know that Mingyue Gong has always chosen to be neutral, but neutral seems to not offend both sides, but in fact both sides have offended them. The Chu family has suffered during this period, obviously because of this. Now that the Chu family has reached the point of life and death, do you still need to remain neutral?"
Zuan smiled and said, "Miss Xie is recruiting me for King Qi?"
Xie Daoyuan sighed: "I don't deny that I am recruiting, but it is also the truth of being a friend. Although your Chu family still has three thousand red robe troops, once you are convicted, what role can a mere 3,000 people play in the face of a powerful court?"
"And I went to the Chu family's fiefdom and lost the two mountains of salt and iron, what can your Chu family rely on to support this army?"
"My Moon Master is well known. I don't believe that he will indulge the Red Painting Army to plunder like Heifeng Village. Without a source of income, the powerful Red Painting Army will soon collapse. It will be too late to regret it."
Zuan replied: "You made a very reasonable analysis and we will consider it carefully."
Xie Daoyun looked his eyes carefully and said after a long time, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this is your perfunctory words. I don't feel any nervousness from your expression, as if you have already grasped the Zhizhu, but I really can't figure out what else the Chu family can turn the tables."
Zuan smiled and said, "Today we will only talk about the wind and moon, not the others."
Xie Daoyun couldn't help but feel the situation of being stuck while riding a horse together. Yu Qiao felt dizzy and spat: "Who talks to you about Fengyue?"
While speaking, he looked out the window guiltily and suddenly noticed the knights following behind the carriage. He was shocked: "Why did you bring the Red Robe Army with you? What are you going to do?"
Zuan looked through the car door and looked in the direction of the Sang family: "Of course, I am congratulating them on their wedding."
He kept most of the Red Robe Army to take care of the Chu family, and he brought hundreds of people to the Sang family.
Xie Daoyun would not believe his nonsense, and said hurriedly: "I know you have a lot of grudges with the Sang family, but this is Zheng Dan's day of great joy after all, so don't do anything randomly!"
She regretted it a little. Why did she be obsessed with attracting him here? This guy is such a troublemaker and will cause trouble everywhere.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything randomly." Zuan smiled, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
Seeing him say this, Xie Daoyun couldn't say anything else, so she could only be anxious. After arriving at Sang's house, the first thing she did was to ask the servants to inform her father.
From a distance, Zuan looked different from the depressing atmosphere when he came to Sang's house last time. Today, he was decorated with lanterns and the words "未分" everywhere.
The mansion was already very lively. What a great event was the marriage between the son of the prefect and the eldest daughter of the Zheng family? All the prominent figures in the city have arrived.
In fact, if Zuan hadn't suddenly brought the Red Robe Army into the city, Xie Yi and Liu Yao might have been here too.
The servant at the door was singing the gifts from the guests:
"Miss Xie is here and I will give you twenty-eight top-quality Dongzhu."
"Chu family...Huh? The Chu family's son-in-law is here, and I'll give you a hat."
As soon as this said, the Sang family, which was originally a little noisy, appeared for a moment of silence.
All present are famous figures in Mingyue City, and everyone knows the grudges between the Chu family and the Sang family.
What's more, everyone was talking about Zuan's confrontation with Liu Yao with the Red Robe Army. Why did one of the main masters suddenly appear here?
Also, what the hell is giving a hat?
