"But our Inspection Institute..."

"Zhuge, this is not a discussion with you, this is an order."

Chen Pingping suddenly stared at Zhu Ge with a cold gaze, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, causing Zhu Ge's body to tremble slightly.

"Yes, Dean, I will obey your orders."

After Zhu Ge left, Chen Pingping asked someone to call Wang Qinian over.

"Dean, are you looking for me?"

Wang Qinian flattered her, but in fact he was not very willing to meet Chen Pingping more often, the pressure was too great.

"Wang Qinian, I heard that you cheated Master Zhou Chen out of five taels of silver today, is that right?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qinian cried miserably: "Dean, it's unfair. How dare I cheat Mr. Zhou Chen of his money? I earned it. I..."

Chen Pingping ignored his excuses and continued, "We have strict rules in the Inspection Office. If you cheated me of money, you must pay it back double."

"Ah? Double the payment?"

Chen Pingping handed him the things in his hand and said, "It's unintentional. This is the compensation given to you by the hospital. Go and return it to them."

"what?"

Wang Qinian was confused as he looked at the envelope in his hand. He was smart and immediately understood what Chen Pingping meant.

"What the dean said is true. Wang will go and pay the debt right now."

Wang Qinian walked very quickly and arrived at the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion in a short while. However, he knew that there were many people following him around the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, so when he was hesitating about how to get in, he suddenly heard Zhou Chen's voice in his ears.

"come in."

Wang Qinian suddenly perked up, then quietly entered the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion.

"Mr. Zhou, I cheated you out of your money today. This is the compensation the dean asked me to send you."

After Zhou Chen accepted it, Wang Qinian left quickly, feeling relieved.

Opening the envelope, he looked at the contents inside, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Sun Yi."

"Bring the Star Guards with you and arrest all the people on this list. At the beginning of the evening, take them all to the residence of the Minister of Justice. If anyone resists, kill them!"

"Yes, Master."

Sun Yi looked excited. He had already learned that his young master had become the fifth grandmaster, so he was confident enough. No matter what Zhou Chen asked him to do, he would not hesitate at all.

He left with the Eighteen Constellations.

Zhou Chen looked at the sky that was gradually getting darker, his eyes deep.

"Is it a coincidence?"

"It doesn't matter. After all, you have never experienced the fear of being dominated by a grandmaster. If so, you will see it tonight."

The Imperial Palace, Ouchi!

Emperor Qing was sharpening the arrow in his hand, but his eyes were dull and the hall was silent.

"His Majesty!"

Eunuch Hou walked into the hall cautiously.

"explain."

"Your Majesty, according to the report, there are already dozens of people who have entered the Anyuan Marquis's residence. Just now, a dozen masked men in black left the Anyuan Marquis's residence. Judging from the direction they were moving, it seems that they were going to arrest someone."

Emperor Qing paused, then laughed, "It seems that our Little Zhou Grandmaster can't wait even a day. Is he going to kill people on his first day back in Kyoto? With such a big commotion, it seems that he not only wants to kill people, but also wants to establish his authority. It's true that after becoming a Grandmaster, he has less awe in his heart."

Eunuch Hou was so frightened that he fell to his knees, trembling all over, with his head touching the ground, not daring to make a sound.

"But he is a Grandmaster after all, so he must have some privileges. Let him make a scene, and let me see how far you can go."

He picked up the bow next to him, drew the arrow, aimed at the armor in front of him, and shot an arrow.

"boom!"

Naturally, the movements of the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion could not be hidden from anyone. All the forces in Kyoto turned their attention to the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion, but each force had different opinions.

For a time, all forces were collecting intelligence about the Earl of Anyuan's Mansion as quickly as possible, wanting to grasp the situation first.

The time has come, it’s the hour of You!

I have a banquet tonight, try not to drink too much, and come back to update!!!

Chapter 1430: Carrying the coffin, Emperor Qing plots

It’s the hour of You!

Seeing that no one had come in for a long time, Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the chair, slowly stood up. As he stood up, everyone in the yard's eyes were focused on him.

For these veterans, they respect their deceased uncle, but when Zhou Chen, as the heir, encountered difficulties, they still came here one after another. This is their loyalty.

They didn’t know what kind of person Zhou Chen was, nor did they know what Zhou Chen wanted to do, but as long as Zhou Chen gave an order, they would execute it.

At least this time, they will carry it out.

They are not warriors who will die for their own loyalty.

Facing all the gazes, Zhou Chen had a stern expression. As he waved his hand, a large box was lifted up.

When the box was opened, it was filled with silver, at least several thousand taels.

"My dear uncles, I know that you all came here for my father's sake, but no matter what, being here is a gesture of friendship."

"Everyone already knows why I called you here. Yes, it's to avenge my father. Ten lives were lost. This blood debt must be avenged."

"But I also know that everyone has their own lives now. What we are going to do this time will ignore the law, and we may even lose our lives in the process, so I won't force you. I am already very happy that you can come. If you want to leave, I will have no objection. Those who want to leave can take 100 taels from here and leave. However, those who take the silver and leave will no longer have any relationship with the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, and will not be allowed to claim the name of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion in the future."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chen stopped talking and looked away calmly.

Gradually, voices began to rise in the courtyard. Even though everyone came for loyalty and righteousness, the one hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money for many people.

But most people just stood there motionless, not even looking at the white silver.

The 'gambler' was holding a sword wrapped in cloth, his eyes swept over the eighteen star guards wearing constellation masks, his face full of seriousness.

As a ninth-rank swordsman, he could feel how powerful these masked men in black were. It seemed that this was the strength of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

But when his eyes fell on Zhou Chen, he felt very strange. This young master didn't seem to be simple, but he couldn't say specifically. In short, he was very weird.

What he was most curious about now was what Young Master Zhou Chen wanted to do.

Human life must be repaid with human life, but whose life should be used? How can it be done?

After a long while, no one went to take the silver and left, which made Zhou Chen feel much better.

So he waved his hand and asked someone to take the silver away, and then spoke again.

"Since no one has chosen to leave, from today on, all of you will belong to me, Zhou Chen. From now on, I will be your backer."

Tong Quan took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Our young master is the fifth grandmaster in the world."

"boom!"

These words shocked everyone, and they all looked at Zhou Chen who was standing in front of them in disbelief.

Young Master Zhou Chen, is he a grandmaster?

For them, this was really a difficult thing to accept. Young Master Zhou Chen hadn't even been crowned and inherited the title yet, so how could he be a grandmaster?

Zhou Chen did not give any explanation, but directly proved it with actions.

He just stood there motionless, stretched out his right hand and waved forward.

The 'gambler' holding the sword suddenly shook, and then the sword in his arms began to vibrate. Even though he grabbed it hard, it finally slipped out of his control.

"Whoosh!"

The sword escaped from the control of the "gambler" and flew into Zhou Chen's hands.

Zhou Chen grasped the hilt of the sword and shook it lightly. The cloth on the sword instantly cracked, revealing the sword body.

"What a sword!"

The gambler looked at Zhou Chen in horror. He had used this sword for decades. As long as he carried it with him, no one could snatch it from him.

But just now, Zhou Chen just made a casual move and actually took the sword away from his hand. He is a ninth-rank cultivator, and even those above the ninth-rank cultivator could not do that.

The only explanation is, is Young Master Zhou Chen really a grandmaster?

Zhou Chen quickly answered their questions. He just waved the sword in his hand lightly. A sword energy passed in front of him, and a gully dozens of feet long appeared in the courtyard in an instant.

A ninth-rank swordsman might be able to cause strong damage, but to be able to create sword energy and cause such destructive power with just a light swing of the sword like Zhou Chen did is definitely not something a ninth-rank swordsman can do.

Everyone's eyes turned towards Zhou Chen with burning enthusiasm. Grand Master! Young Master Zhou Chen, who is not even an adult yet, has already become a Grand Master. What a terrifying talent and ability this is.

With Grandmaster Zhou Chen leading the way, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice means nothing.

Originally many people were ready to do things with the belief of risking their lives, but after Zhou Chen displayed his strength as a grandmaster, while they were excited, they also realized that this time they might not need to risk their lives at all.

Even in Kyoto, the Grand Master is definitely the one standing at the top.

Royal relatives, powerful and wealthy people are everywhere in Kyoto.

But there were only four grand masters in the world before, and now Zhou Chen is the fifth grand master, so there are only five grand masters in the whole world.

With the status and strength of a grandmaster, he can maintain equality even when facing the emperor.

Zhou Chen swung the sword in his hand, and the sword fell into the hands of the "gambler" very accurately.

The 'gambler' clenched the sword in his hand with an extremely complicated expression. Why was there such a big difference between this sword, which he had used for decades, in his hand and in Zhou Chen's hand?

"Blood debts must be repaid with blood. Tonight, we will avenge our father's family!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood, blood debt must be paid with blood..."

Everyone in the courtyard roared in anger, and in an instant, morale reached its peak.

Half an hour later, the main gate of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion opened wide, and under the watchful eyes of spies from all forces, a group of men in black slowly walked out.

The first men in black who came out were all wearing star masks, while the ones behind them were not wearing masks. But what was really surprising was that there were people carrying coffins out at the back.

One, two, three...ten!

There were ten coffins in total. Four people carried one coffin and walked steadily to the road outside.

More than a hundred people, dressed in black, carried ten coffins, which gave people a very depressing feeling from a distance.

Seeing this situation, those who were responsible for surveillance in secret also became nervous. Although many people guessed that there might be movement in the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, they still didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so decisive and take action that day without waiting for a day.

Except for the people carrying the coffin, everyone else was riding on horses. There was only one carriage in the crowd, which was Zhou Chen's carriage.

"set off!"

Following Zhou Chen's order, the team immediately took action with an astonishing momentum.

It had already gotten dark, but there were still pedestrians on the road. However, no matter who they were, when they saw this team, they all avoided them in horror, and no one dared to stop them.

In the palace, Eunuch Hou reported the situation to Emperor Qing in a panic.

Emperor Qing was quite surprised after hearing this: "Carrying a coffin? This Grandmaster Xiao Zhou is really interesting. He wants to pay blood debt with blood and kill people to establish his authority."

"His Majesty."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him. He is a great master after all. He just wants to kill a few people to vent his anger. Let him do what he wants. I just want to see his methods."

Be it the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice or the families of the other two young masters, he did not take them seriously. They were all just his pawns.

Although what happened to Lao Dou's family was not instigated by him, he did have some calculations for the follow-up, otherwise how could such a tragic case in which ten people were killed and the Earl of Anyuan's mansion was also destroyed without causing any waves?

He just wanted to take advantage of the situation and see what kind of personality Zhou Chen, the newly promoted fifth grandmaster and the most talented young grandmaster among the five grandmasters, had.

The Grand Master is a human being, but he is not really a human being. Grand Masters all have their own different human natures.

Take Ye Liuyun for example. Ye Liuyun is a grandmaster, but because he cares about the Ye family very much, he is controlled by the Ye family and becomes a hidden knife in his hand.

So he wanted to use this incident to see if he could find a way to control the young master Zhou Chen.

As for the lives of other people, Zhou Chen can kill them as he pleases.

Changxin Palace.

The charming eldest princess Li Yunrui was casually cutting the wick, listening to the maid's report and laughing crazily.
