dead body search

Chapter 409: 55 Million Spirit Stones
Zhoujiabao.

Conference hall.

After Zhou Chengyong became the head of the Zhou family, he presided over the first regular meeting.

Zhou Chengyong, with a flying sword gourd hanging from his waist, got his wish and sat on the high position of patriarch.

Zhao Shuya sat on the lower right side of Zhou Chengyong's position, and her status was second only to the head of the family.

The other foundation-building monks of the Zhou family and the flag-holders of each house are ranked under it.

Zhao Suya said openly, "Today's topic is to sort out the general affairs of each house. Now let's start the first topic. Please report your general affairs..."

The big house is in charge of Zhao Suya, so the first person to report is Zhou Zhifeng, who is in charge of the second house. He cupped his fists and said to Zhao Suya, "Madam, my general affairs in the second house are mainly to manage the properties of Zhou's family in Tianji City... this year's income For 17 spirit stones, 500 spirit stones were handed over to the family treasury, and another [-] yuan of middle-grade spirit stones were used to purchase rare medicinal materials, elixirs, and refining materials"

Zhao Suya listened quietly to Zhou Zhifeng's report and commented from time to time.

Zhou Chengyong, who was sitting at the top, found that he had no room to intervene. He wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit there and stare blankly like a fool.

After the report of the second room, Zhou Zhian, the head of the third room, got up and walked towards the head. Zhou Chengyong looked at Zhou Zhian with hope.

However, Zhou Zhian ignored the former head of the Zhou family and walked directly to Zhao Suya, greeting him respectfully, "I've seen you madam!"

Zhao Suya replied with a gentle smile: "Zhou Zhangqi has worked hard!"

Zhou Zhian made a few words modestly, and then returned to the topic, and reported: "Madam, my third house general affairs are mainly to manage the property of the Zhou family castle, a part of the property is distributed according to the direct line, namely the ancestral house of the Zhou family and all its properties..."

The lengthy report lasted for nearly two hours, and Zhao Suya finally sorted out the Zhou family's finances.

"According to everyone's reports, my Zhou family's clan treasury should have at least 60 spirit stones. Why did my palace check the clan treasury and only find less than [-] spirit stones!" Zhao Suya asked sternly.

Su Lao Zhou Zhifei frowned and said: "The Zhou family treasury has always been controlled by the patriarch. After the fall of the previous patriarch Zhou Ruyu, the control of the clan treasury once fell into Zhou Rupeng's hands. He should have embezzled the spirit stones in the clan treasury. "

"Borth! I must not let you off lightly. I also invite two clan elders to lead the law enforcement hall of my clan to confiscate Zhou Rupeng's house, and all the property will be put into the clan treasury!" Zhao Suya ordered coldly.

"Oops! Last time Qianji Hall was caught in a fire, all the clansman's soul lamps were destroyed." Su Lao Zhou Zhifei said with a big frown.

"When Zhou Rupeng was defeated, his two sons had already fled in a hurry, and even rode a white-feathered crane." Su Lao Zhou Zhixian was also anxious.

"Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao only have the cultivation base of the Qi refining stage. They can't escape to the wilderness, they can only go to the south of the Dongyang Mountains. Although white-feathered cranes can fly in the air, they can only fly for half a day at most, and they must rest for half a day. It's not difficult to live with them." A Zhou family member suggested.

"The old man goes after those two little bastards, and he must not let them be greedy for the spirit stones of the Mo family!" Zhou Zhifei said coldly.

"Let the old man search the house!" Zhou Zhixian cupped his fists.

"Trouble you two old men."

"You're welcome!"

"This is to protect the interests of the family!"

After the two elders left, Zhao Suya stood up and said, "This is the end of today's topic, and I invite all clansmen to tide over the difficulties together."

The rest of the people got up one after another and left the meeting hall.

Everyone is furious!
"Zhou Rupeng! What a beast in clothes and clothes is greedy for our spirit stones!"

"It's simply unforgivable! He must be made to pay a terrible price!"

"Hmph, even if he's dead, he should be recorded in the genealogy!"

"That's right, there will no longer be such scum in the Zhou family. We want to restore the Zhou family to its former glory."

"."

Inside the study.

No sound and no flashing.

There are two people in the room.

It was Hou Dongsheng and Zhao Suya.

I saw Hou Dongsheng clasped his fists and said: "Madam is indeed a good planner. She not only corrupted the Zhou family's 55 spirit stones, but also found an excuse to copy Zhou Rupeng's family. However, if Zhou Rupeng's two sons were arrested, both of them Relatively speaking, I am afraid that this matter will be revealed."

"Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao have already left, but they only have the cultivation level of the Qi refining stage, and I am afraid they cannot escape the pursuit of the two old elders of the Zhou family. I also ask Elder Hou to help them leave safely and find a suitable place for permanent residence." Tell them to shut up." Zhao Suya said coldly.

"Why should I do things for you?" Hou Dongsheng asked coldly.

"My concubine is the wife of the head of the Xuanyang sect. If you want to develop the Xuanyang sect, don't you need my help?" Zhao Shuya said with a sweet smile.

"Why don't you let your two elder brothers do this kind of thing?" Hou Dongsheng asked.

"If my two elder brothers do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of Zhou's family. Hou Daoyou not only has a high level of cultivation, but also a clever method. He can even see through my palace's plan at a glance. What's more, I am now the wife of the head of the Xuanyang Sect, and my husband is full of praise for Senior Brother Hou's ability." Zhao Suya said with a smile.

Hou Dongsheng was silent for a moment: "What do you plan to do with the 55 spirit stones?"

"This spirit stone is the concubine's dowry, so naturally it will be arranged by my husband." Zhao Suya smiled slyly.

"Don't bring him down." Hou Dongsheng said with a frown.

"Hahahaha...my husband is just too honest, if it weren't for this palace to take care of it, how could there be any family business?" Zhao Suya said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll go to work first." After Hou Dongsheng finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the study.

Outside the study.

Liu Hang, Yue Ningxue, Suzaku, and Li Yueer were all waiting outside.

"You look back at Fenggu first. I have to deal with some matters and will be back soon." Hou Dongsheng said with a frown.

"Leader Liu is slowing down for now, I have something to discuss with him." Zhao Suya looked at Liu Hang affectionately.

"Elder brother, look at this..." Liu Heng showed a look of embarrassment, obviously wanting to stay.

"Pay attention to your body, enough is enough!" Hou Dongsheng urged.

"Thank you, big brother, for your concern." Liu Hang responded with a smile.

As soon as Hou Dongsheng and the other four turned around, Zhao Suya couldn't wait to pull Liu Hang into the study. The two of them were so anxious that they didn't even close the door.

"It's really not good for you to be like this?" Liu Heng reminded in a low voice.

"What's wrong, I am the master of the Zhou family now, so I can do whatever I want." Zhao Suya said as a matter of course.

"Uh... well, take it easy." Liu Heng said weakly.

……

The new patriarch Zhou Chengyong made up his mind to meet his mother and talk to her about who is the master of the Zhou family.

You must strictly tell your mother your position, and you cannot let her act arbitrarily just because he is your mother.

The Zhou family must not be under her control.

If my mother doesn't listen to my advice...

A coldness flashed in Zhou Chengyong's eyes.

Then even if it was his biological mother, he would get rid of it without hesitation.

Zhou Chengyong walked to the courtyard with a gloomy expression, and suddenly saw Xuanyangzong and his party coming out of his mother's study.

The leader is the Great Elder Hou Dongsheng, with three beauties behind him.

Yue Ningxue, Suzaku, Li Yueer.

The cultivation bases of the three are the late foundation establishment stage, the middle foundation establishment stage and the early foundation establishment stage.

Seeing the three women, Zhou Chengyong's eyes lit up and he immediately stopped the four of them and said, "Elder Hou! Did you forget the agreement between our two families to get married?"

"We'll discuss it later." After Hou Dongsheng finished speaking, it was convenient for Zhou Chengyong to pass by.

Yue Ningxue, Suzaku, and Li Yueer didn't even look at it.

With a glance at Zhou Chengyong, he passed Zhou Chengyong and walked out.

This made Zhou Chengyong's face suddenly show anger, but soon he forcibly suppressed the roiling anger in his heart.

After Hou Dongsheng left, Zhou Chengyong said angrily: "Hmph! I don't know what to praise! How dare you show me face!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chengyong showed a hint of joy again, touched the little gourd on his waist and said, "Fortunately, you idiot has a bad memory, you'd better forget about the flying sword gourd, otherwise hum!"

After speaking, Zhou Chengyong turned his head and walked towards his mother's study.

This study originally belonged to Zhou Ruyu.

Big...

Divided into two rooms inside and outside.

Zhou Chengyong stopped as soon as he came to the outer room, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and his face was like

It was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, his lips turned white, and he seemed to have lost all his strength.

mother!
Mother, she is too active.

Through the crack of the door.

Zhou Chengyong clearly saw two people, one of them was his mother Zhao Suya, and the other was Liu Heng, the head of Xuanyangzong.

They're doing that kind of thing and still in it.

In my father's study...

Zhou Chengyong was immediately dumbfounded.

Pain, panic, coldness, fear, bewilderment and other expressions appeared on his face one by one.

Finally, it turned into a miserable smile.

His heart was bleeding.

Mother can't wait to marry herself to such a man.

It turns out that getting married means this...

Zhou Chengyong felt pain in his chest as if someone had hit him hard with a heavy hammer.

His body trembled violently, his eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched tightly, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails were deeply buried in the flesh.

His face was ashen, and finally left quietly.

He didn't dare to expose, he didn't dare to face it, he could only bear it silently, he could only escape
He is the head of the Zhou family, the face of the Zhou family, he can't lose this person!
"what!"

"Yeah!"

"So comfortable!"

"You slow down, don't be in such a hurry!"

"Itchy!"

Zhou Chengyong covered his ears, turned around and ran, tears couldn't stop flowing, his eyes were empty, his heart seemed to be broken, and the picture of his mother and Liu Hang in the study was played back over and over again in his mind. There was only one thought left in his mind, and that was to escape from this suffocating place.
Mountains and mountains.

Two young riders and two white-feathered cranes fly in the air.

These two people were exactly Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao who had left the Zhou family. The two of them didn't speak during the journey, and their hearts were very heavy.

"Cuckoo..." The two white-feathered cranes cried out in hunger at the same time.

White-feathered cranes cannot fly continuously, and they have to rest for half a day before they can continue to move forward, so they need to stop and rest for a while.

The two fell into the forest, and there happened to be a stream in the forest, and two white-feathered cranes went to the stream by themselves to catch small fish to eat.

Zhou Yuntao sat on a big rock, staring at the sky blankly.

Zhou Yunfei looked into the distance, his gaze seemed to penetrate layers of clouds, as if he could see the distant future.

Zhou Yuntao sighed and said, "Brother, what shall we do in the future."

"Go to Dongyang Wanbaofang to do casual repairs, and do some work first."

"En!" Zhou Yuntao nodded in response, he thought of Zhou Chengyong's arrogant face, and there was a deep hatred in his eyes.

"Brother, when can we take revenge?"

"In this world, the strong are respected and the weak prey on the strong. If you want revenge, you have to become stronger than others."

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely become stronger, and I will kill that bastard with my own hands." Zhou Yuntao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Zhou Yunfei nodded, patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said, "We will definitely have a chance in the future."

"En!" Zhou Yuntao nodded vigorously, swearing inwardly.

Suddenly, the two heard a sharp whistle coming from the air, and when the whistle came, two white-feathered cranes that were fishing immediately screamed.

The old man flying high in the sky heard the crowing of the white-feathered cranes, and his face was overjoyed. His consciousness instantly locked on to the two white-feathered cranes, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he locked on Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao.

The light fell.

The old man landed in front of the two of them.

Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao looked at each other, their expressions full of tension.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, the old man waved to them and said, "You two, follow me back to Zhoujiabao."

Zhou Yunfei frowned and cupped his fists and said: "My father failed to compete for the position of patriarch, and it is impossible for my two brothers to stay in Zhoujiabao. I hope that the old Zhifei clan will let my two brothers go on their own. leave."

"Hehe." Zhou Zhifei shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have cared about the two of you leaving this old man, but the clan treasury lost more than 50 spirit stones, so I need you to cooperate with the investigation."

"50 spirit stones?" Zhou Yuntao and Zhou Yunfei's expressions turned ugly.

50 spirit stones is definitely an astronomical figure for them, and the clan treasury was stolen, there must be spies.

"Clan elder, we didn't steal the spirit stone at all, and there is no spirit stone in the storage bag. If you don't believe it, you can check."

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the investigation of the Family Law Enforcement Hall, I guarantee that I will never embarrass you. If there is something wrong with this matter, I will keep you safe." Zhou Zhifei said with narrowed eyes.

Zhou Yuntao and Zhou Yunfei looked at each other.

"Clan elder, we will go with you."

"We are willing to cooperate with the investigation."

"You really didn't steal the spirit stone?" Seeing the positive cooperation between the two, Zhou Zhifei frowned. He had to suspect that Zhao Suya had stolen it.

"We really didn't steal the spirit stone." The two replied at the same time.

"Okay! Come with me now, and I'll take you to investigate the family." After Zhou Zhifei finished speaking, he slapped the storage bag and took out a spirit boat.

"White-feathered cranes will let them go back on their own, you can come with me."

The two looked at each other, then boarded the spirit boat, and after the spirit boat lifted off, it flew towards Zhoujiabao.

The spirit boat flew into the air at an extremely fast speed, it only took half a cup of tea.

suddenly.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck the spirit boat, tearing it apart.

Zhou Zhifei turned into a ray of light and flew out towards the direction of the thunder and lightning, while Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao fell into the jungle.

"Cultivator of Xuanyang Sect! Why did you attack this old man?" Zhou Zhifei shouted angrily.

"Madam ordered me to kill you!" After Hou Dongsheng finished speaking, he stepped into the void and rushed towards Zhou Zhifei with lightning speed.

"Zhao Suya wants to kill me!? She really is playing tricks!" Zhou Zhifei was frightened and angry. He squeezed the magic formula and chanted the spell in his mouth. A huge white crane appeared in front of him. The shining flying sword went straight for the opponent's throat.

"Hmph, little tricks of carving insects!"

Regarding Zhou Zhifei's offensive, Hou Dongsheng gave a cold snort of disdain, and the speed of running in the air did not decrease at all.

Facing Baihe Feijian showing his throat, Hou Dongsheng opened his mouth and spat out.

A big silver hammer flew over.

Clang.

Xuanyang shook the ground hammer and smashed the high-grade flying sword Baihejian into the air.

"How could this happen?" Zhou Zhifei was shocked. He considered himself to be the best among his peers, but the mid-stage Foundation Establishment in front of him could easily defuse his own attack, which made Zhou Zhifei very unbelievable.

"Boy, I want to see what tricks you have!" Zhou Zhifei snorted coldly, waved his palms, countless flames gushed out from his hands, condensed into a huge ball of fire and blasted towards Hou Dongsheng.

"court death!"

Hou Dongsheng sneered, the Yuechan sword was already in his hand.

Jingle bells
The two powerful auras collided together, causing waves of ripples, causing the weeds on the ground to be blown up one after another, and the dead leaves all over the sky were floating down, covering the sight.

"what!"

Zhou Zhifei let out a cry of pain, his face was pale, his arms were covered in blood and flesh, obviously he was seriously injured.

Zhou Zhifei gritted his teeth, and retreated dozens of steps, avoiding Hou Dongsheng's pursuit.

"Boy, you really pissed me off!" Zhou Zhifei snorted coldly, his eyes flushed.

"yes?"

Hou Dongsheng sneered, and the long sword in his hand flew out again.

With a flick of the sword, a blue light shone.

Hou Dongsheng flew past.

"Pfft!"

Zhou Zhifei's head was cut off with a sword, blood was soaring, and his body crashed to the ground.

Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao, who fell to the ground, sneaked into the jungle and hid themselves with clumsy methods.

Hou Dongsheng glanced at them, but didn't intend to chase them down.

A gust of wind.

Zhou Zhifei disappeared in place, and Hou Dongsheng turned into a ray of light and left.

These two were deliberately let go by Hou Dongsheng, and that woman Zhao Suya wanted to control Xuanyangzong through Liu Hang, and even ordered herself to do things.

Hou Dongsheng decided to do everything he could. First, he took advantage of the situation to kill the old man of the Zhou family, weakening the strength of the Zhou family that Zhao Suya could rely on; go out.

At that time, it will be true and false, false and true.

It's easy to fish in muddy water, after all, after the water is muddy, it is still the strength to speak.
