Chapter 423 The Death of Hidden Benevolence ([-])

Chapter 420 The Third Chapter of Hidden Benevolence ([-])
Zhong Qian returned to his own house. As the chief steward of Zhong's mansion, this courtyard could not be seen as a place where servants lived.Even many of the concubine's children in the mansion are not as well furnished as this courtyard.

When he entered the courtyard and closed the door, the smile he had when he came out of the lobby disappeared instantly!
"Hmph! Let the young people decide for themselves?! I think this old man is already confused?" The butler, who was of medium stature and thin, sternly shouted.

……

"What? Butler Zhong, haven't you been able to persuade that old guy?"

At this time, a lazy voice suddenly came from this courtyard, so abrupt that it seemed that this person had been waiting in the courtyard before.

It's just that Zhong Qian didn't show much surprise or astonishment, and still said with a gloomy face: "Zhong Qianhe is willing to live and die with Yinren Town, and the old and young of the Zhong family will not all agree."

He looked at a small pavilion in the courtyard, and there was a person sitting in the pavilion. No one could be sure whether there was such a person here a few breaths ago.

This person was dressed in white, with a hood on his head, the brim of the hat was pulled down very low, and only half of his face could be seen clearly.He is a strange young man, he should only be in his 20s, but his eyes are full of wisdom, and he has a calmness that does not match his age.

"So, are you willing to cooperate with me?" The young man asked with a smile.

Zhong Qian knew: It is not easy to be a traitor. If you really cooperate with him, you must let him make corresponding promises!The chief butler of the Zhong family secretly made up his mind. He stared at the young man in front of him, and many images about this person emerged in his mind.

Just a few hours ago, he didn't know the other party, let alone confirm the other party's identity.

The young man came suddenly, and his whereabouts were even more surreptitious, as if he appeared out of nowhere, without leaving any flaws. Even if Zhong Qian sent people to inquire after the incident, he did not get the slightest information.

At the very beginning, Zhong Qian didn't intend to cooperate with the other party, but because of a sentence from the young man at that time, his heart was shaken a little.

"Butler Zhong, after being his dog for a long time, will he really protect the master unconsciously?"

At that moment, the face of the chief butler of the Zhong family was extremely gloomy, and then he sternly shouted:
"What exactly do you want to do?"

This was the first sentence he said to the other party, but the young man didn't answer directly, leaving only three sentences before disappearing without a trace.

"The choice is in your own hands. I'm just a spectator, and I just find it interesting."

"You can inform Yinren's senior management of my whereabouts, which will have almost no influence on me."

"But for you, it means losing hope of surviving in the end."

……

It has to be said that with such a blatant threat, coupled with the uncertain identity of the young man, Zhong Qian, as an old man of the Zhong family, would normally not be confused about such matters.

However, coincidentally, Zhao Yuntian's death caused an uproar in the entire Yinren Town early this morning, and its influence was much greater than everyone imagined...

From the perspective of the Zhong family, the most direct impact was that since last night, almost all trade related to Tiexin Village has been paralyzed.Zhao Yuntian's deterrence and prestige to the local forces in Tiexin Village is indeed strong.

From Helian Tiexin's downfall at the very beginning, to Yinrenyou Village's establishment of the town, during the whole process, Tiexin Village has always had a complete organizational combat force and armed forces. The reason why there is no large-scale counterattack is due to Zhao Yuntian's great contribution!

On the other hand, it was Yinren Town's attitude towards Luo Yunzong, which made many people in the town feel fear and worry, especially Tiexin Village, which lost Zhao Yuntian.As a non-local force, the Zhong family was also infected by this panic.

There are many things like this in the world: in times of crisis, people can always stick to their principles.But when the situation is eased and there is enough time to think about the pros and cons, many people will give up their principles.

There is no right or wrong, only benefits!
……

Hearing the stern words of the thin middle-aged man in front of him, the youth reminded him of a gambler he met in a casino a long time ago, who had almost nothing but refused to let go of the last valuable chip in his hand.

He slowly took off the hood on his head, revealing his true face, and this scene also made the pupils of the butler of the Zhong family shrink to the size of a pinhole!

"you you you……"

Zhong Qian seemed to be choked by someone, so he could only utter the word "you" three times in a row, and the previous arrogant aura like a gambler was gone.

It turned out that under the young man's hood was a head of white hair, which formed a sharp contrast with his delicate 20-year-old face.And the deepness and tranquility in his eyes are no longer as abrupt as before, but rather complement each other!
"You, who are you?"

"Luo Yunguo, the inner sect elders, Zhou, Yuan, and Yi!"

This independent small courtyard of the Zhong Mansion fell into silence for an instant, and less than three breaths later, the chief housekeeper of the Zhong family finally couldn't bear the pressure, his feet softened, he knelt down, and said in a trembling voice:

"Lord Shangzong Elder, spare, spare! Little Zhong Qian is not a traitor! I am willing to submit to Luo Yunzong!"

That's right, this young-looking man is none other than Luo Yunzong's elder Zhou Yuanyi, the direct murderer who killed Zhao Yuntian last night!
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, walked slowly in front of him, and said, "I thought Steward Zhong really had a heart to protect the Lord, but now it seems that a dog is a dog!"

A trace of cold sweat trickled down Zhong Qian's forehead. He knew that he was just on the verge of life and death, but in fact it was only a thought.

……

Fallen Leaf City, as Yinren Town's old enemy for many years, naturally knows the composition of Yinren's major families, and the plan to surprise Tiexin Village was proposed by Ji Shenfu to Zhou Yuanyi.

And after killing Zhao Yuntian, the magistrate viciously analyzed Yinren's several big families, and suggested starting with the Zhong family.

Therefore, Zhong Qian, who was the chief steward of the Zhong family, became Elder Zhou's next target after killing Zhao Yuntian.He wants to tell everyone in Yinren with his actions: Whether it is Yinren's high-level officials or subordinates, as long as they dare to openly resist Luo Yunguo's rule, or support the remnants of the previous dynasty, then the end can only be certain death!
However, after sneaking into Zhong's house, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Zhong Qian and his son Zhong Rui, so Zhou Yuan made his previous appearance on a whim.

As Elder Zhou said, he was just a spectator, and he did this only because he found it interesting. As for Zhong Qian's choice, it actually had little effect on his actions!

"My lord, what exactly is Shang Zong's plan? The little one must be terrified!" After all, the butler of the Zhong Mansion has been working for so many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions is very good. He can see the other party's hesitation and feel the other party's killing intent. .

So he immediately spoke out, fighting for a chance for himself to continue to live.

Zhou Yuan touched his smooth chin, and said indifferently: "Since this is the case, then you should give it a try, organize and influence the entire Zhong family to make their own choices, those who are willing to stay, and those who are willing to leave .The ultimate goal is very simple, trying to split this Yinren Town!"

It has to be said that Elder Zhou, as the inner elder of Luo Yunzong, was really deep in his thoughts, and Zhong Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly with his figure, and asked doubtfully, "Divided, split?"

"Spread out Luo Yunzong's strength, and Yinren Town's stupid decision to try to resist, let people know that those who resist will die, and those who surrender will live!"

Speaking of this, the young man smiled and added: "Master Zhou, this is your only chance. If you do it properly, let alone your son can marry the eldest lady of the Zhong family, even if you want to marry, It’s also within reach!”

Hearing this, Zhong Qian's heart trembled, and after a while, he bowed his head and said, "Young one...understood!"

……

When Elder Zhou of Luo Yunzong persuaded Zhongqian to surrender in the Zhongfu, Zhao Yunming had already led a group of backbones from the salary list organization to dissect the various clues brought from Tiexin Village yesterday.

"Master Zhao, the expert sent by Luo Yunzong should be a man." A man wearing iron clothes of guards said in a deep voice.

Before Zhao Yunming could continue to ask, he continued to reply: "He and Master Yuntian fought twice in total, once they met palms and once they met fists. When they met each other, Master Yuntian's tendons were severed, so the enemy's attack It has already exceeded the limit of Lord Yuntian. Although there is no trace of the enemy in the footprints surveyed from the scene, the traces of Master Yuntian's feet that were shaken back by that palm are very clear."

"Judging from the drag marks at the scene, the enemy and Mr. Yuntian are facing each other at the same level, and their height should be similar." The man concluded.

When Zhao Yunming heard the other party's analysis, he nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Although there is a high probability that a man can be inferred based on height alone, it is not absolute."

The man was obviously an expert in on-site investigation, and continued:

"That's right, this is just a piece of evidence, and then it's the second fist fight. Master Yuntian put all his blood and blood into it, and it was a bottom-up punch. This can be seen from the on-site investigation and the confessions of the people around you." It can be deduced. And when Master Yuntian uses this blow, he uses the move straight up and down, and only when the opponent is male, he will use this move subconsciously."

Ordinary moves, such as slashing with a sword, seldom have a straight up and down attack, because under the same move, this kind of straight up and down attack is not as effective as a diagonal cut, just like the famous "Cassock Cut". It is a typical case of oblique cutting.

The reason why he chose to cut sideways is because it can increase the attack area.But there are always exceptions, and that is the attack from the bottom up, especially when the opponent is a man.

You know, the increased attack area of ​​the side attack is far less economical than attacking the enemy's crotch!On the contrary, if the enemy is a woman, then most of the male fighters will use oblique cuts and side cuts.Of course, except that both parties are women.

Hearing this, Zhao Yunming finally nodded and affirmed the conjecture of the guard Tie Yi. Based on his understanding of his elder brother, if the other party was a woman, his "Yuntian Breaking Strike" must have pierced the sky from bottom to top. of.

After analyzing the on-site exploration, another man dressed as a strong man said in a low voice: "According to the records in the newspaper of Tiexin Village, Master Yuntian was very irritable tonight, and ran to the abandoned village in Queshan alone in the middle of the night. gone."

He cautiously glanced at the serious Zhao Yunming, and said tentatively: "Then why is Master Yuntian so irritable? It even reached the level of being unable to sleep at night. I guess, at that time, Master Yuntian had already noticed that something was wrong, and even found out traces of the enemy."

"You mean, this male master from Luo Yunzong deliberately followed him, and his lurking ability is so strong that even Zhao Yuntian couldn't find it?" Zhao Yunming asked with a frown.

"It can be guessed like this, but in fact it can be more sufficient. This is a premeditated assassination! After all, Mr. Zhao has been in Helian Fort in Tiexin Village, which is guarded by heavy soldiers! Just breaking in and assassinating is far worse than relying on assassination." Spectrum."

……

In this big house of the Zhao family, the case that was originally full of doubts suddenly became clear.Even the planners behind it, a group of people, have targeted Ji Shenfu who has always had conflicts with Yinren.

Although there are still many speculations here, I have to say that the pay list organization is so powerful. Although I have not personally witnessed the scene, the entire assassination process is almost the same!

Seeing that it was approaching noon, someone from outside came to report, "Master Zhao, news has been sent back from the stronghold outside the county."

Zhao Yunming took a roll of kraft paper, and there were lines of dark green fonts on it, but the content was written about rumors from various places, and there were some gossip about parents.

The tall, thin, middle-aged man didn't read the above content, but directly took the roll of kraft paper and roasted it on the stove beside him.I saw the dark green font that said "parents are short" just now, and the color gradually became lighter.And under these dark green fonts, the originally colorless fonts keep turning red...

Soon this briefing changed its content:
Gao Ning has led the team into Yanlong Town and left today to go to their respective destinations as planned.There are only two things that were out of the plan: [-]. They met Yin Shisan in Hongyan Town. Fortunately, Lei Rushan from Hongyan Town made a timely move to frighten both sides, so they didn't fight; According to the previous group division, they regrouped themselves.

Another: As of today's evening, we have received news that Yin Shisanyi and others were found in Linlang Mountain City.

Zhao Yunming looked at the text message, revealing a trace of thought:
The news came yesterday, so these nine people had already set off from Yanlong Town yesterday morning, counting the time, it was almost here now.

The appearance of Yin Shisan also requires vigilance. After all, it cannot be completely ruled out. This is Ji Shenfu's trick to deceive people's eyes and ears.

Finally, there is the question of forming a team of nine people. It stands to reason that the grouping is the grouping reported by the guard Tieyi himself. How could there be a regrouping, unless the payroll stronghold concealed important information, and then the internal service team of the guard Tieyi, What went wrong!
After reading the roll of kraft paper, he casually threw it into the stove, then turned around and said to everyone, "Follow me to find Li Chengtao."

After finishing speaking, he left the Zhao family's mansion and went straight to the mountain patrol camp in the maple leaf forest on the south side.
