Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 99 Qiu Chan
"You still have to act with young people at such an old age, and Xia Kui is so good at asking people."

Zhou He raised his hand to lift the white cloth from his face. At the same time, the bookshelf behind him moved away automatically, revealing a secret room passage.

A strong middle-aged man walked out of it. He was carrying a corpse in his hands. The corpse's clothes were exactly the same as Zhou He's, and even his appearance was somewhat similar. However, if you look closely, you can still find that it is a completely different face. .

"When it comes to the survival of the farm family, you should work harder."

The middle-aged man threw the body on the ground, and Zhou He unluckily covered himself with the white cloth. The two of them cooperated quite skillfully and were experts in the funeral industry.

"The acting skills of the main actors are much better than those of the actors in last year's New Year's Opera Troupe. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to fool the Zhu family and Tian Hu."

Lu Wei stepped forward and pressed the white cloth around the body's feet: "When I first saw them, I thought you were really pretending~"

"I am not the hall master now."

Zhou He twisted around to relieve some stiff muscles, looked at the two people in front of him, and smiled happily: "You two are the ones~"

"Hall Master Lu Weilu, and Hall Master 'Tian Meng' Tian!"

In the reflection of his pupils, the face of the other person who had taken care of the corpse's flaws together with the manager was clearly the face of 'Tian Meng'.
The pursuit of 'the murderer of Gonggong Hall leader Zhou He' has been at a deadlock from the beginning: there are no witnesses, and even the murder weapon cannot be found.

But I don’t know who made the news: The night before Hall Master Zhou He was assassinated, he specifically asked his disciples to bring two bowls of lotus seed porridge, and the unknown person who drank lotus seed porridge with Zhou He was the murderer!
From this rumor, two other rumors were derived.

The first one said that the murderer was General Manager Lu Weilu who served as the General Manager of Gonggongtang!

After the leader of Zhou He ended his retreat, he was very happy to learn that General Manager Lu was back, so he invited him to the main hall to discuss the matter of succession. However, because General Manager Lu was already very rampant by this time, he could not restrain his villainous heart, and he accidentally said He revealed that he was the murderer who killed Manager Tian Zhongtian three years ago.

After hearing this, Hallmaster Zhou was furious and immediately wanted to abolish Director Lu's status as general manager and choose someone else.And what a villain Mr. Lu is. While he was pretending to kneel down and beg for mercy, he suddenly got up and killed the hall master, just like he did when he killed Mr. Tian three years ago.

This rumor involves the death of the previous Gonggongtang general manager and is full of conspiracy theories.The second rumor involves the abolition of the previous general manager.
The second rumor clearly believed that the murderer was Manager Zhou Zhangzhou who was expelled from the farm for killing his fellow disciples!

Whether it was Hall Master Zhou He this time or Chief Tian Zhong last time, it was Zhou Zhang who killed him, and his purpose was just for revenge!

This rumor is very plausible: Zhou Zhang, as the grandson of Zhou He, was originally the undisputed heir to the hall leader four years ago. However, due to the righteousness of General Manager Tian Zhong, he revealed his true identity, causing the hall leader Zhou He to resolutely kill his family, abolished Zhou Zhang's martial arts, and personally abolished Zhou Zhang's martial arts. Drive him out of the farm.

Since then, Zhou Zhang has been full of resentment towards Gonggongtang and even the entire farm family, and is determined to destroy the entire farm family in his lifetime!

So he kept his name anonymous and first took advantage of the Autumn Harvest Conference four years ago to use his familiarity with Daze Mountain to ambush and kill Manager Tian. Then this time, he pretended to reunite with the soon-to-retire Hall Master Zhou He and then waited for an opportunity to make a sneak attack. Killed my own grandfather.
Such a villain is really not a son of man!
No one dared to mention these two rumors within Gonggongtang, but there were many audiences in other Wutang areas.
"Brother Lu Wei, don't worry. I have strictly prohibited the Shennong Hall disciples from discussing such ridiculous rumors." The Zhu family comforted Lu Wei in the Gonggong Hall mourning hall: "At the Autumn Harvest Conference, I will report it to Xiakui again, thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors, and also Brother, you are innocent."

Tian Hu lit incense and respectfully placed it in front of Zhou He's coffin. He also came to the steward in white and patted his shoulder: "Someone is maliciously targeting our farmers. At this time, the less we can let them Succeed!"

He changed into a yellow mask and looked at Tian Hu in surprise. The Zhu family never expected that such words would come out of his mouth.

Noticing the gaze of the old fox next to him, Tian Hu snorted coldly, straightened his back and crossed his arms: "We farmer brothers fight among themselves, and we must not let outsiders take advantage of it!"

"That's a good thing~" Zhu Jia's face showed a mask of joy.

"Master General Manager, the two hall masters, the top priority now is to inform Xiakui about this matter, and secondly, General Manager, you must hold a succession ceremony as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts!"

Lu Qing came forward. He was also dressed in white and was worried about entering.

"Inform Xia Kui's disciples who have been dispatched a long time ago. As for the successor?"

Lu Wei's face condensed: "This matter is not urgent."

"The succession arrangement was supposed to be in June, but there are still two months left. The seven-star pearl grass necessary for the succession still needs to be distributed by the leader, and all the hall leaders have not returned, which is not in line with the ceremony."

"Finding the murderer is the most important thing!"

"Yes"

When Lu Qing was told this, he immediately stepped back. Zhu Jia understood that it was his time to speak and immediately continued:
"Brother Lu Wei, it is important to track down the murderer, but now it is even more important to stabilize the people of Gonggongtang."

"As long as Shen Nong of all things in the land dies, Brother Zhou He will definitely not want his death to make the entire Gonggong Hall upset."

In fact, Zhou He stopped taking care of many things three years ago. After Lu Qing arrived, Lu Qing was basically in charge of all affairs. Therefore, the news of Zhou He's assassination spread, even though the Gonggong Hall disciples were very shocked and angry.
But after being shocked and angry, I still do whatever I have to do.

Zhou He's existence is more of a "name", and after he gave the "name" to Lu Wei, the source of the "name" was provided by Lu Wei.

"Brother Zhu is right." Mr. Lu calmly looked at the coffin not far away. He seemed to be convinced. He nodded and was about to say something else. Suddenly, a figure walked in at the door, which made him frown.
Tian Hu, who was watching the two people's performance coldly with his arms folded, was also shocked by the person who came in. He was stunned at first, then happy, and finally became angry as if he had woken up. buzz sound.

"Ahu, what's wrong!"

The person who came in made a thick voice and glared, causing Tian Hu's anger to disappear instantly: "Big brother!"

The visitor is clearly
"Tian Meng!" The Zhu family exclaimed as they looked at the visitor.

"I know you have a lot of doubts and are anxious, but please don't be impatient. Let me say goodbye to Hall Master Zhou He."

With that said, Tian Meng took the incense from the disciple on the side, bowed slightly and bowed three times. After putting the incense in place, he first looked at Tian Hu with sharp eyes: "Ahu, follow me out."

"Yes!" Looking at every move that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, Tian Hu actually felt a little strange, surprised and happy, but he was sure of one thing: this was definitely not the fake big brother before!
Watching the Tian brothers walk out of the mourning hall, the Zhu family almost pulled the beard off their masks: "This is not the Tian Meng from before..."

He turned to look at Lu Wei: "Brother, what do you think?" "This is weird." Lu Wei frowned and relaxed: "Tian Hu and he are brothers, let Tian Hu take a look first, we don't have to worry about it This matter."

"Don't forget, Xia Kui will be back at this year's Autumn Harvest Conference!"

"That's right." The Zhu family nodded hesitantly.

After a while, the Tian Meng Tiger brothers returned. With the naked eye, it was visible that Tian Hu was walking around in a threatening manner, with an arrogant and proud expression on his face, while Tian Meng's face was serious:
"Brother Lu, I would like to express my condolences and accept the change."

"Palace Master Zhu, I'm really sorry for leaving without saying goodbye."

"Little things, little things." Squinting, you can tell from Tian Hu's posture, is this Takeshi Sanada?After thinking for a moment, the Zhu family decided to stay still for the time being just as Lu Wei said:

"We are all farm brothers. I was only worried about the safety of Hall Master Tian Meng. Now I am very happy to see you return safely."

"I am the eldest brother of the Tian family, so naturally nothing will happen to me, but Hall Master Zhou He doesn't know which thief is so vicious!"

When Tian Meng mentioned the eldest brother of the Tian family, Tian Hu next to him held his head high and was full of tigerish energy.

After hearing this, the Zhu family glanced at Lu Wei who was silent: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go out and talk."

"Don't disturb brother Zhou He's spirit in heaven."

Sensing that the three people were leaving, the steward glanced at Lu Qing who was not far away. The latter blinked and retreated with his disciples.

Late at night, the sky was covered with dark clouds in the evening, and it was likely to rain tomorrow. The moon and stars could not be seen even at night, and the entire Daze Mountain looked a little eerie.

Lu Wei was meditating alone in the Zhouhe mourning hall, with only a row of small candles on the walls on both sides to keep him company.

With a bang, the door of the mourning hall behind him was pushed open through a gap thick enough for a person. A gust of night wind blew into the mourning hall through the gap, extinguishing most of the candles, leaving only the one above the head of the steward still glowing faintly.

A figure, looking extremely eerie under the dim candlelight, suddenly stood behind Lu Wei.

"What should I call you?" Lu Wei did not turn around, and his posture did not even change: "Tian Meng? Zhou Wen? Or Zhou Zhang?"

"I am now the Luowang killer, Qiu Chan."

'Tian Meng', who had appeared during the day, could not clearly see his expression, but his young voice was obviously very different from Tian Meng's.

"Which fake field are you on? Xia Kui's plan for Luo Wang is really progressive."

Lu Wei opened his eyes and smiled softly, not caring that this was before the mourning hall.

"It should be the third and last one."

'Tian Meng' looked at the back of the unguarded figure and said calmly: "We haven't seen each other for many years. When I first left, I imagined many possibilities for my future partners when I came back: Xu Qiu, Xu Sheng and even Tian Zhong, but you If so, I wouldn’t be too surprised.”

"But I was a little surprised when Xiakui arranged for you to go to Luowang as a spy."

Lu Wei recalled the first meeting he had with 'Zhou Wen' many years ago when he first went to the Chu Kingdom, his eyes flashed: "When Hall Master Zhou He was here, I didn't want to ask more questions. Now Hall Master Zhou He has gone to the Liuxian Tomb. I have A lot of doubts.”

"You can bring it up now. We are partners now. We have cooperated once before and it was very successful. I hope it will be the same this time."

Tian Meng, or simply call him by his changed name Zhou Wen, walked up to Lu Wei calmly and sat down cross-legged to look at him.

"It's understandable that the net will accept you. They have always been sensitive to hatred, but how did you gain their trust?"

"Because I showed my sincerity, and what Tian Meng did last time was a failure." Zhou Wen showed off his snare sword 'Qiu Chan' and said softly: "If they still need that face, just I can take over."

"What is your sincerity to them?" Lu Wei's eyes were unblinking and he was fully focused.

"Killing my own grandfather is not considered sincerity?"

"It probably works for ordinary people, but for a snare, it's not enough."

"Yes, it seems that you are very aware, and you may be more suitable for lurking in the trap than me~" Zhou Wen made a joke, but it just matched Tian Meng's face, which didn't look good: "When we were in the Luqiuge caravan, we were They must have separated at the border of Chu State."

Although he was asking a question, he did not wait for an answer, but continued: "After we separated, I joined the net on one side and the army of Chu on the other side."

"Work for the Xiang family!"

He kept stroking Qiu Chan with his right hand and said with a sharp look, "So, we actually met a few times in Xiang's military camp, but you don't know."

"Xiang." The manager looked at him and thought of something.

Zhou Wen followed his gaze and nodded: "You should have guessed by now that my mission in Luowang, which was upgraded to the killing level, was to plan a mutiny."

"Kill Xiang Dong!"
