2.62 Let’s kill a few minions to relieve our anger.

Xue Tu fell into a coma after returning to the inner courtyard and never woke up. However, the various tasks of the Xue family could not stop. Therefore, it was said to be a "rest night". In fact, no one in the Xue family could sleep well. The next morning, Dongfang As soon as the morning glow appeared, Xue Xun was already waiting in the main hall of the main courtyard.

"Zi Yang, I am going to summon the remaining four families immediately and announce that the fifth and sixth families will be expelled from the Xue family in Jinling." Seeing Zhou Yang enter the door, he immediately said, "Each family in the Xue family basically relies on the family's industry. The same goes for living with five or six bedrooms. When the time comes, whether it’s the house, property or land, all of it will be taken back!”

"What's the reason?" Zhou Yang asked with a frown.

"It's enough to collude with outsiders to seize the main industry." Xue Xun said coldly.

"That's fine." Zhou Yang nodded, "For the sake of being of the same clan, we allow them to pack up their belongings before leaving. As long as they can take with them, they can take as much as they can, so as not to let anyone say that we are inhumane. .”

"That's right, I was negligent!" Xue Xun's expression changed, and he nodded with a sneer, "Unfortunately, there is no way to explain which family we are colluding with. The Zhen family is not something we can mess with!"

"The Zhen family is only the first in the south of the Yangtze River, not the first in the world." Zhou Yang remembered the ending of this family being ransacked and exiled later, and said in a disdainful tone, "In Jinling City, they naturally didn't say anything; , no one can do anything, but the second uncle knows the situation of the Zhen family, they can only pray that the old lady will live a long life!

The second uncle is responsible for handling the matter here. Don't forget to report to the prefect's Yamen. I think Senior Brother Chen has made arrangements last night. My nephew went back to tidy up a little and then set off for Yizhen County. Although he couldn't take revenge, he could at least kill a few people. I just want to relieve my anger. I didn’t bring the bloody horse that my father-in-law gave me when I stayed in the capital. I guess I don’t lack a good horse at home, right? "

"If you want to catch up with that one, you really can't find it." Xue Xun said with a smile, "But if it's a little bit close, I have plenty at home. When the time comes, you can take two out. If there happens to be a replacement on the way, I will arrange it. manpower."

"No need!" Zhou Ang waved his hand coldly, "They can't keep up, I'll just go there alone, second uncle, don't forget to arrange a ferry on the river, after all, no matter how good a BMW is, it can't cross the Yangtze River The natural moat.”

"That's okay!" Xue Xun was heartbroken, but nodded in agreement.

After a while, the guest room.

"Brother Zhou, you are in such a hurry to clean up, where do you want to go?" Xue Baochai threw herself into his arms anxiously and asked, "But what is it-"

"No!" Zhou Yang smiled and comforted the girl, feeling relieved. Fortunately, after some troubleshooting last night, he sent Wang Shuying back to the inner courtyard. He really didn't expect that Xue Baochai would come to block the door so early in the morning, "I Go to Yizhen County and you'll be back tomorrow. You don't have to worry about things at home, your second uncle will make arrangements.

Also, the situation at home is tense now. Send someone to call Brother Wenlong back as soon as possible. At this time, he, the eldest son, should be at home anyway. Tell Zhang Dehui that no matter where he is, even if he is tied up and carried, he must be on duty today. Carry it back!Otherwise, if word spread, it would have a huge impact on his reputation! "

"Humph, it's not just a slave. Now that the master is ill and the house is in such a mess, Master Pan can still stay out without coming back. It's really..." Even Ying'er couldn't stand it and pouted her lips and made a comment, "As for When it comes to reputation, Uncle Pan really doesn’t care, does he still have a reputation?”

"Ying'er!" Zhou Yang glared at her sternly, grabbed her and gave her a PP, which made her burst into tears, "Brother Wenlong's problem is not something you can talk about, you just need to serve Sister Baobao well." That’s it, do you understand?”

"Girl!" Ying'er finally realized what she was doing. She was so frightened that she ran to her own girl and knelt down. She didn't dare to look at Xue Baochai's pale face. "I'm wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. I just feel sorry for you." Girl and wife, this is it”

"Okay, help me put these at the door!" Zhou Yang then patted her little head and pulled her up, put a bag filled with food and some gold and silver in her hand, turned around and held her gently Xue Baochai said, "Don't worry, Brother Wenlong is just being well taken care of. When he takes up the family business, he will naturally understand."

"Brother Zhou, I see you brought a bow and a long sword, right?" Even if Xue Baochai was close to his brother, he knew that he had nothing to say, so he changed the subject and said, "If there is anything Danger."

"No!" Zhou Yang lowered his head and kissed the girl's forehead and said, "I just went to Yizhen County to hit the front station, which is very close to Jinling. My second uncle has already made a plan to sort out the branches in various places, and that place is considered the first batch. I went over to take a look first, just to gain some insights." "In that case, Brother Zhou, be careful!" Xue Baochai nodded with concern, and lowered his head to smooth the wrinkles on Ailang's clothes, "I see you brought a lot of silver and I have food, but I don’t have a change of clothes. If you need it, you can go to the branch over there. Mother has the seal and card with the name Xue. Don’t forget to pick it up before you leave.”

"Don't worry, she already gave it to me last night." Zhou Yang took out a golden "snow" from his pocket and said to the card with a smile.

"Last night?" Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment.

"Uh-" Zhou Yang was confused. After venting his anger last night, he discussed the plan with Wang Shuying, sent her to the inner courtyard and came back with the pair of cards. However, it would be really inconvenient to explain. .

"Uncle, Miss, Butler Zhang arranged for two fast horses to be sent over." Fortunately, Ying'er's voice came from outside the courtyard and helped him out.

"Baochai, just stay at home and wait, I'll be back tomorrow." Zhou Yang hurriedly hugged his sister gently, then turned around and hung the long sword on his waist, lifted the bow bag and quiver, and didn't move his head. Went back out of the yard.

"Mother? Last night?" Xue Baochai was still confused. He couldn't figure it out, so he had to put the matter aside for now.

On the morning of September 48, the 26th year of Longwu, more than [-] people including the elders, heads and heirs of the sixth family of the Xue family in Jinling gathered at the ancestral hall and formally announced that the fifth and sixth families were expelled from the family tree. Afterwards, they went to the Jinling prefecture's Yamen to report together. The prefect of Jinling felt quite embarrassed and personally comforted everyone present, saying that "peace is the most precious thing."

"By coincidence" he met Chen Ruiwen, the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, who came to visit. When he learned that the reason why Wufang and Liufang were expelled from the family tree was that he colluded with outsiders to seize the family property of his direct lineage, he was furious on the spot and tried his best to persuade the Jinling prefect to "not do this." Because he couldn't bear to indulge those who eat inside and outside." In the end, the prefect did not stop him.

In the afternoon of that day, everyone in the original fifth and sixth rooms ran to the gate of Zhen's house in Tirenyuan and cried, begging and begging to see Zhen Yingjia, the president of Tirenyuan. However, they only knelt down for less than half a cup of tea before they were surrounded by a group of wolves and tigers. The servants of the Zhen family were beaten with sticks and even killed and injured several people on the spot. There were many people around to watch, but no one had the courage to ask more questions.

In desperation, these people went to the ferry and hired a passenger ship to leave. They were never seen again. However, it was rumored a long time later that the passenger ship accidentally caught fire in the middle of the river shortly after setting off, and almost no one on board could escape. There was no time for rescue.

In the evening of that day, Qianhu Zisheng, the guardian of Qianhu Station in Yizhen, was ambushed and ambushed by a sharpshooter of the "White Lotus Sect" on his way home from "get off work". Fortunately, he was lucky, and a powerful arrow penetrated his left chest but was shot. If it is too high, it is only less than an inch away from the heart. There is no serious danger to life, but at least it needs to be raised for more than a month.

Unfortunately, his men were not so lucky. Most of the soldiers of the two small banners were gone. They were all shot dead by sharpshooters on the spot. The government officials who came to "wash the ground" after receiving the report were frightened. It's not easy.

Early the next morning, Wang Zisheng's eldest son stayed in prostitution all night. When he heard that his father was injured and rushed back to visit him, he was ambushed by a sharp archer at the gate of the Wang family's mansion. A powerful arrow penetrated his temple directly, and there was no value in saving him. .

The entire Wang family was in mourning, but when the Yizhen County government sent people to inquire, the seriously injured and bedridden Wang Zisheng received him personally, saying that there was no need to bother because they knew that the person who ambushed this time was the "White Lotus Bandit", and the reason was that he The White Lotus Branch was once surrounded and suppressed - this only made the Yizhen government even more confused.

On the afternoon of the 27th, Zhou Yang returned to Jinling, but when he returned to Xue’s home, he learned that Xue Tu had passed away near noon after being in a coma for a day and a night. For some unknown reason, the eldest young master Xue Pan still hasn’t come back.

"." After listening carefully to Zhou Yang's explanation, Xue Xun spoke for a long time, "That's fine, but you did so well. What if the prince wins revenge? After all, he is just a little stupid. But if you are not a fool, it is not difficult to guess us.”

"What revenge does he take?" Zhou Yang said disdainfully, "The entire Yizhen Guards Thousand Households is said to have a thousand people, but in fact at least [-]% are empty pay, and the remaining [-]% are the old, weak, sick and disabled who make up the number, and most of the rest are extremely weak. The only thing that Wang Zisheng can really move is one of his personal soldiers, a dozen of whom are the most elite. I have already killed them all.

Not only could he guess that it was our hand, but he could also guess that it was my hand, so what?Don't say that I killed his eldest son. Anyway, he has five or six sons. It doesn't matter if he loses one. But as long as I am still here, my second uncle knows his character and ability. How dare he take revenge at the risk of being assassinated again?
I will definitely not come back to Jinling in the future. I am thousands of miles away from him. As long as I am still here, even if he wants to take revenge, he must think carefully before doing so. My second uncle is mostly in Miyakojima and Matsue, and my wife and precious sister are rarely at home. When I go out, as long as the second uncle arranges more people, what can he do with his ability! "

"That's good." Xue Xun nodded.

What's interesting is that neither of them mentioned Xue Pan, Zhou Yang didn't mention it, and neither did Xue Xun. They also didn't mention his security matters, not a word.
