The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 358 358. Family failure

Everyone said that Governor Liang was not afraid of the big merchants in Jinling City, and there must be someone behind him.

 The marriage of his son to the granddaughter of Duke Wei has long been known to the public.

Of course, everyone unanimously linked the person behind him to Duke Wei, and even thought of the Ninth Prince.

I'm afraid that Governor Liang's future will be even smoother, and there will be an endless stream of people trying to curry favor with him.

 The Cao family is the first to bear the brunt!

Especially after learning that Zhu Xiaoxian was ordered to be killed by Liang Quanbin, it was a relief.

The Zhu family lost one of their governors, and they also gave up the Zhu family's children and grandchildren. I heard that Chi Lingying's child was also kicked out of his belly.

Every time I think of this, I feel extremely happy!

 Hence, he became more and more concerned about honoring Liang Quanbin.

Since the attack on Jinling City, the bribes Liang Quanbin has collected have exceeded the private property of the Liang family that they have worked hard for for decades.

No wonder so many people are eager to get into Jinling City. Thinking of this, he was extremely grateful to Duke Wei for his arrangement.

 Therefore, this year’s official food issue was given top priority.

 Determined to make some achievements, let Wei Guogong see that arranging him here has a great effect!

　One side is happy and the other side is sad.

At this moment, the two people who are really disrupting the current situation in Jinling City are sitting in Yinguang Temple and playing chess!

  Xiao Tingyi holds a black piece, while Chi Zimo holds a white piece. The two are playing chess and talking at the same time.

From a distance, it looks like the time has passed peacefully.

"The head of the Chi family is really merciless. After all, the Zhu family is also your in-laws of the Chi family. If this happens, how will it end in the future?"

 A black piece fell and captured a piece of white piece owned by Chi Zimo.

Chi Zimo didn't feel worried and replied calmly.

"Your Majesty is joking. The one who arrested the people was the navy camp, the one who set the fire was Commander Liang, the one who added insult to injury was others, and the one who ruined the fate of his descendants was himself. What does it have to do with me?"

With these words, he was able to distance himself from the Chi family, and even gained a good reputation by saying that the Chi family was a kind act of providing help in times of need.

This Chi Zimo's move is really no small matter, even Xiao Tingyi felt a little admired.

“Now that most of the Zhu family is in your hands, where are the official rations and evidence promised to the king?”

“Don’t worry, my lord, the things will be delivered to you within ten days. As for the Zhu family, since my sister-in-law has left, it depends on the prince whether she lives or dies.”

The Zhu family has done so many unscrupulous things. Even if they were not designed, they would still be sentenced to death if the incident happened.

It is a blessing among misfortunes that Chi Lingying can be brought back safely now, so Chi Zimo will not have any pity for the Zhu family.

Having been in business for many years, he understood that if a snake survives, it will turn its back and hurt others.

 Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself. On this point, he believed that King Ding would have the same idea as him.

The two of them didn't say much. They finished the chess game quietly. After all, it was Xiao Tingyi who was more skilled and suppressed Chi Zimo's white piece.

He was not discouraged by the defeat and said with a faint smile to Xiao Tingyi.

"Your Majesty is indeed very powerful, so Chi will be waiting for your good news."

Xiao Tingyi did not reply, but was rubbing a sunspot in his hand, as if he was grasping something.

 The Zhu family's funeral took place for several days, but unfortunately it was no longer as lively as before.

Not to mention coming to express condolences, many of the servants at home have been dismissed. Except for the housekeeper, there are only four or five people left with Zhu Hong now, which is really different from the past. Three coffins were placed neatly in the hall. Zhu Hong was dressed in white, and Huo Chong next to him was also dressed in plain clothes.

With fierce eyes, he looked at his brother-in-law Zhu Hong, whose face was pale and gloomy, and said through gritted teeth.

“Brother-in-law, let me go and deal with that beast named Liang. Otherwise, Xiaoxian and the others will die in peace underground!”

Ever since the Zhu family's accidents happened one after another, Huo Chong had planned to come and massacre the Governor's Mansion. If Zhu Hong hadn't suppressed him, either Liang Quanbin's head would be missing or Huo Chong's life would have been in vain.

The former is naturally a good thing, but if it is the latter, wouldn’t it make relatives happy and enemies happy?

 So Zhu Hong did not nod in agreement, but based on his desire for revenge, he did not let him think too much.

Huo Chong didn't understand how his **** brother-in-law could bear the humiliation so much in the past, but after years of obeying orders, he had long been accustomed to Zhu Hong's orders, so he didn't make any extra moves for a while.

However, sometimes you want to put things to rest, but others like to cut the grass and root out the problem.

 So, just after the first seven days of the Zhu family and others, Liang Quanbin's men came to arrest Zhu Hong.

The charge was that the officials ordered by the imperial court were lawless, overstepping their duties to hold banquets and assassinating the governor. It even involved some corruption of official grain that the Zhu family had dealt with in the past. He easily found out a few private warehouses of the Zhu family. There was a large amount of official rations piled inside. As a result, the Zhu family could not argue even if they had hundreds of mouths to speak.

Huo Chong clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.

It's a pity that the person who came was not only aggressive, but also armed with firearms. If Huo Chong dared to disobey orders again, he would probably die suddenly on the spot.

Zhu Hong pulled him and spoke in a deliberately lowered voice.

“Ten years are never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge. Do you remember Fuxi Village? Find a chance to escape and meet a person there. He will tell you what to do next?”

 “Brother-in-law, what about you?”

Zhu Hong smiled, looking at death as though he were home.

"The second brother is gone, Xiaoxian is gone, and there is no point in living for me. Since he wants to arrest him, then just arrest him, but I will not be able to see Liang Quanbin slaughtered all over his family in my lifetime. I am unwilling to do so. If one day If you have the chance, don't even let go of every plant and tree in his house! I want him to have a taste of what it means to confiscate a house and destroy an entire family!"

"good!"

 Huo Chong had tears in his eyes, and his hatred for Liang Quanbin reached its peak.

If he were present, he would have to hack Liang Quanbin to death at the risk of his own life.

 Zhu Hong was taken away, but Huo Chong took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

His kung fu is not bad, and he has been around Jinling City for so many years, so he naturally has many ways to avoid being pursued by officers and soldiers.

It was not until he arrived at Fuxi Village that he saw the person his brother-in-law Zhu Hong mentioned.

 The news of Zhu Hong’s arrest soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling City.

 Without exception, Xiao Tingyi also got the news here.

 In other words, Zhu Hong's arrest was also part of his plan.

 After so many years, he has long been accustomed to controlling everything secretly, so he has many ways to kill people with a borrowed knife.

Since Liang Quanbin has already shouldered this grudge, he might as well bear it to the end, so that those who let the Zhu family escape can also have revenge to avenge and others to hate!

Moreover, Xu Lin secretly followed Huo Chong who escaped, so the person behind the Zhu family can be found out soon.

 Fu Cheng's prison was burned down, so Zhu Hong was imprisoned in a secret prison in the navy camp.
