Jinghong Tower

Chapter 413 Zhou Cangyue is not a member of the Zhou family
"Everyone says so. Some people also say that a woman three years older than a man will bring him wealth, and a woman five years older than a man will become an emperor. The reason why King Zhao could become emperor is because he married Mr. He, who was five years older than him. You don't know what's going on outside in the military camp. Now many families want to marry their sons to older wives, so that they can have children sooner and bring prosperity to the entire family."

As soon as Bai Gou finished speaking, Zhou Cangyue spat in his face.

While wiping his face with his sleeve, Bai Gou said, "Why are you spitting at me? I didn't say that. It doesn't matter who Dangjia He marries. She will marry whoever she wants to be the emperor. She doesn't like men anyway."

Zhou Cangyue.
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Cangyue raised his fist and punched the white dog.

The white dog barked and disappeared.

Zhou Cangyue was still not satisfied, so he picked up a big knife and started chopping the bamboos hard. The bamboos fell down one by one until a bamboo hit him on the head. He fell straight to the ground, facing the sky, looking at the sky he had cut out.

Suddenly, a big round head blocked his view. Two black eyes on the big white face were looking down at him curiously.

Zhou Cangyue felt a surge of grievance from the bottom of his heart. He stretched out his arms and hugged the furry head: "Huahua, they all bullied me."

In the capital, Prince Zhao became more seriously ill, but He Ran enjoyed a rare moment of peace and quiet.

Ever since the news of King Zhao's serious illness spread, the voices for King Zhao to ascend the throne gradually became less and less, and now, they have completely disappeared.

At this moment, Zhong Yi came. He Ran seldom saw him in recent days. When she saw him today, she found that Zhong Yi had become much thinner. His usually pale face had dark circles under his eyes, making him look even more stern.

"what are you thinking?"

He Ran was slightly stunned by Zhong Yi's nonsensical question, but she soon knew what Zhong Yi was asking.

"Zhou Jian's good days are over." He Ran said in a calm voice.

Feng Zhaoyan was arrested by Zhong Yi, and Zhong Yi found out the information about Zhou Jian from Feng Zhaoyan. He knew the whole story very well.

He Ran continued, "You don't want me to pick another child from the old Zhou family, do you? By the way, the grandson of the former King of Songjiang is now the head of the Zhou family. Do you have your eyes on his son?"

Zhong Yi's lips moved, but he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "I am only the commander of the Jinyiwei, I have no right to ask about these matters."

He Ran chuckled: "Do you think there are any outstanding children in the Zhou royal family or their own family who are better than Zhou Chi?"

When He Ran said the word "Zhou Chi", Zhong Yi's heart, which had been hanging for several years, finally settled down.

Apart from that person, who else in this world can say the word Zhou Chi so easily.

Yes, he had actually long suspected that He Ran was not He Jinghong's disciple.

She is He Jinghong herself!

The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. What about He Jinghong? She is as magical as the Queen Mother of the West who descended to the earth. He can know about his past from dreams, so why can't He Jinghong do the same?
Who is Li Jinxiu? Even the emperor doesn't take her seriously. And Xiu Gu from the south divides all people in the world into two categories, He Jinghong and others. However, these two people bow down to He Ran, a little girl who is almost the same age as their granddaughter.

So he didn't know when Zhong Yi started to have this doubt in his heart, but he forced himself not to think too much about it. But today, he really didn't need to think about it anymore, because he was sure.

"And Zhou Cangyue." Zhong Yi said. He Ran didn't expect Zhong Yi to mention Zhou Cangyue at this time.

Yes, Zhou Cangyue is Zhou Ying's grandson, so if you round it off, he should also call Zhou Chi his uncle.

"Although Zhou Cangyue's father's family also has the surname Zhou, they have no relationship with the Zhou family of Zhoujiabao. Zhoujiabao is not the only one in the world with the surname Zhou. As for Zhou Cangyue's grandmother, Zhou Chi never officially recognized her when he was alive. She has no relationship with Zhoujiabao. So Commander Zhong, isn't it a bit far-fetched to say that Zhou Cangyue is a descendant of the Zhou royal family?"

He Ran smiled and said sarcastically, "If he was not the Grand Marshal of the Tiger Army Zhou Cangyue, but the corpse retriever named Heimei on the Yellow River, would the noble Zhou royal family also list him as a descendant of the Zhou family like you do?"

Zhong Yi's face felt slightly hot. If Zhou Cangyue was still the corpse retriever from the Yellow River, neither he nor any other member of the Zhou family would regard Zhou Cangyue as their own descendant, and would also be ashamed of him.

What's more, Zhou Cangyue was someone that Zhou Jiabao disliked.

Zhou Cangyue’s current situation has nothing to do with the Zhou family.

And what position does he have to make He Ran hand over the country to Zhou Cangyue?

Let Zhou Cangyue be the next Zhou Chi, the next King Zhao?
It’s not because of Zhou Cangyue’s ability, but because Zhou Cangyue’s surname is Zhou, and he has one of the few Zhou bloodlines.

At this moment, Zhong Yi suddenly felt that he was very ridiculous, and he actually laughed.

It was the first time that He Ran saw Zhong Yi smile like this. He smiled with his teeth showing and bent over with laughter.

Zhong Yi's appearance is rather feminine, and he looks much better when he is not smiling. So, even though he is smiling now, he looks scarier and weirder than when he is not smiling.

Fortunately, there are no children here, otherwise it would become a childhood nightmare and take a lifetime to heal.

What you fear will come true. Amidst Zhong Yi's laughter, He Ran heard Xiao Ba's scream: "Oh my God, I'm scared to death. My world has collapsed!"

Thanks to Xiao Ba's scream, Zhong Yi's laughter was stopped in time.

He Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhong Yi stopped laughing. She was also frightened by his laughter.

Zhong Yi wiped away her tears and said to He Ran: "I was wrong. I was wrong before and I am wrong now. From now on, I will only be Zhong Yi, your Jinyiwei commander."

He Ran nodded: "Okay."

Zhong Yi quickly changed the subject and talked about something else.

"The bodies of Su Cheng and three other officials were found, floating on a small rocky beach, more than 200 miles away from where the boat was found. The coroner found that they did not drown, but were thrown into the river after their necks were broken. The winds and waves were strong these days, and the bodies floated downstream along the river."

Although she had prepared for the worst, He Ran's heart was still wrenched when she heard that the four officials were all dead.

Zhong Yi continued, "The facts have been investigated. The reason why these four people wanted to board that boat was because one of them, Ma Dongxing, suggested it. Ma Dongxing said that the view from the stern boat was wider and the scenery was better. The other three didn't care. Since Ma Dongxing wanted to take this boat, they followed him on.

It has now been found out that when Ma Dongxing was in Yuhang, he often secretly went to the gambling house and owed a large amount of gambling debts. For this reason, the people in the gambling house even went to the government office to demand the debt. Afterwards, Ma Dongxing knelt down on the spot in front of the Yuhang County Magistrate who was responsible for evaluating them, and begged the County Magistrate not to record this incident in his evaluation.
