I am farming and growing flowers in the ancient martial arts world

Chapter 29
Not long after Zhen Xiaomei and the others walked out, Zhu Hong's son Zhu Tianyou learned the sad news of his father's death from Zhu Hong's escaped guards.

He couldn't believe it at first, but after repeated questioning and got the same answer, Zhu Tianyou finally recovered from the extreme shock and disbelief.

This time he came to his senses, and he immediately had a bad premonition that the world was about to collapse.

Their Zhu family is a big family with a thriving family, and the number of direct and subordinate branches has already exceeded two hundred.

Back then, in order to compete for the position of Patriarch and Mayor, Zhu Hong and a group of his brothers fought each other and became a group of black-eyed chickens.

Later, Zhu Hong won by a narrow margin and became the head of the Zhu family and the mayor of the town.

After that, he spent nearly 20 years eradicating those who threatened him bit by bit.

He did this in a very secretive way, but no matter how secretive he was, the more he took action, the more interested people would still be able to see the clues.

Among them, the sons of Zhu Hong's dead brothers were naturally included.

The death of their father caused their status in the clan to plummet, and they naturally hated the murderer extremely.

In the past, Zhu Hong was powerful and still held great power. When they had no real evidence to crucify Zhu Hong, no matter how much they hated Zhu Hong in their hearts, they could only hold back and not let themselves show any strangeness.

But now that Zhu Hong is dead, and the mountain that weighed on them is gone, of course they want to take this opportunity to avenge their blood feud with Zhu Hong's family.

As Zhu Hong's chosen heir, Zhu Tianyou was still very clear about the tricks his father did secretly, so when Zhu Hong died, Zhu Tianyou immediately realized that he was in a bad situation.

While recruiting men under the banner of avenging Zhu Hong, he sent his henchmen to ask the Shen family for help.

In haste, Zhu Tianyou had already made the best response within his ability, but the subsequent development of the situation still made him gradually fall into a passive situation not at all unexpectedly.

He is still young, and his strength is very limited in various senses, not to mention the uncles and grandfathers in the clan, he can't even suppress the guards and stewards left by his father.

Without his father's positive deterrence, those who were fawning on him all changed their faces.

They are no longer obedient to him, and it is good to be passive and sabotage. Many people even blatantly voted for those members of the Zhu clan who had a grudge against Zhu Hong.

Under Zhu Tianyou's anger, the bad habits he was used to when his father was alive before appeared again.

Facing the bodyguard who was obviously stronger than him, he pulled out his long sword with a ferocious face and was about to kill someone. As a result, those bodyguards who had been very docile and respectful in front of him turned their backs collectively the moment he drew the sword, and turned towards him one after another. He, the former young master, showed his weapon.

Zhu Tianyou was dumbfounded, he didn't know what to do, he stood there looking funny and pitiful.

Seeing his desolate appearance like a bereaved dog, those guards who had suffered from his uselessness in the past were extremely happy.

They exchanged glances with each other, secretly discussing whether they should just keep doing nothing, and directly result in Zhu Tianyou, the useless second-generation ancestor.

At the critical moment, Zhu Jingtao, Zhu Tianyou's little follower and a side branch of the Zhu family, jumped out.

He didn't dare to go head-to-head with those guards, but he also didn't want Zhu Tianyou to be stabbed through the heart at this time.

He bowed to Zhu Tianyou and the guards with a compensating smile, "Master, what we should do most now is to find out who the master's enemy is. If we can't beat him, then the Shen family can't beat him either?"

The word "Shen family" frightened the guards who betrayed their master. They quickly looked at each other, and then, as Zhu Jingtao expected, they put away their weapons one after another.

After they left, Zhu Tianyou, who got a step down from Zhu Jingtao, didn't thank Zhu Jingtao for it.

After his personal safety was guaranteed, the first thing he did was kick Zhu Jingtao hard.

"You're the only one who is smart? Don't I know that the most important thing to do now is to find out the murderer?" The problem is that someone has to listen to him!
It's a good thing that his father gave out a large amount of money and food every year to provide those bastards, and now his father's body has not been recovered, and those bastards have turned to other owners.

It was obvious that they were a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!
But he didn't want to think about it. People who come here for profit can easily leave for profit again.

Especially the one who succeeds his father as the master of the house is still such a domineering and domineering second-generation ancestor who is not clear-headed.

He felt that his father had done useless work, but those guards felt that his father was simply blind, otherwise he would not have chosen Zhu Tianyou, who was so incomprehensible, as the young master of the Zhu family.

From their point of view, they felt that they were just a group of thugs who simply took money to work, and there was no point in betting their lives for Zhu Hong, the former boss.

Zhu Tianyou asked them to kill Zhen Xiaomei. They didn't want to take people's money and relieve people's disasters, but—the owner of the family couldn't beat them, so we went up to deliver food.

Anyway, Zhu Hong, who is the head of the family, is also dead now. Even if they are disobedient, with Zhu Tianyou's strength, he doesn't have the ability to make an example of them, so what are they afraid of?

Of course, if Zhu Tianyou is willing to spend a lot of money, then it's not that they can't think about avenging Zhu Hong.

But the problem is that Zhu Tianyou doesn't have the awareness of this group of people that "it's one price to dawdle, but another price to buy your life".

He took it for granted that since these people took money from their Zhu family, they should be their father and son's dogs honestly.

However, the fact is that not only did these people not listen to him, but they simply went on without doing anything and went directly to his opponent.

Zhu Tianyou had never been subjected to this kind of anger since he was a child, but the situation was stronger than others, and he didn't dare to provoke those guards who betrayed the master now.

But for Zhu Jingtao, Zhu Tianyou didn't have the above concerns.

Zhu Jingtao was born in a branch of the Zhu family, and was the nephew of the head of the family, Zhu Hong.His parents died early, and he got the "gift" from Zhu Hong, the head of the family, by virtue of his sweet-talking skills and extraordinary endurance, and became the little follower of Zhu Tianyou, the young master of the Zhu family.

Of course, the little follower is just someone else's well-intentioned statement. In Zhu Tianyou's eyes, Zhu Jingtao is a dog that he can beat and scold at will, order him around at will, and come and go as soon as he is called.

For Zhu Jingtao, who had nowhere to go and could only live with their father and son, he never gave him any respect.

Perhaps because of being too confident, Zhu Tianyou's attitude towards Zhu Jingtao is still not polite even though he has fallen to the present situation.

And Zhu Jingtao, as a black-hearted sesame bun who is extremely good at enduring humiliation and carrying heavy burdens, not only did he not show any negative emotions because of Zhu Tianyou's anger, but he also praised Zhu Tianyou with a smile and followed Zhu Tianyou's words.
