Chapter 40 Miscalculation

Chu Zongguang's anger was not extinguished because of what Chu Xiu took out.

He stared at Chu Xiu and shouted angrily: "You killed him because you were so angry, do you know what status Shen Rong has in the Shen family? If he is dead, how will the Shen family deal with my Chu family?

Rebel! By doing this, you are doing my Chu family an injustice! "

Chu Xiu frowned secretly, his cheap father was too shy, even if the Shen family was strong, he wouldn't be afraid of this, right?

But fortunately, Chu Xiu had already thought up his words and solution to this matter.

Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Father, don't panic, although he is dead, it's not like my Chu family has other plans.

The Shen family is stronger than my Chu family in terms of foundation, but it is not strong enough to be crushed.

The real reason for the Shen family to dominate the Tongzhou Prefecture is actually Shen Bai, who has joined the Canglan Sword Sect.

The name of the Canglan Sword Sect is great, but my Chu family may not be able to find a backer. "

Chu Zongguang glared at Chu Xiu and said, "Canglan Sword Sect is the largest sect in Wei County, one of the seven sects and eight sects. Where can I find a backer for my Chu family?"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "So what about the seven sects and eight sects? It's not the Northern and Southern Buddhist Sects, and even the Northern and Southern Buddhist Sects are not strong enough to dominate the entire Jianghu.

Our Chu family can't find Jianghu sects as a backer, but we can find the imperial court as a backer!

Although Wei County is called the land of Beiyan, it actually listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, and the Beiyan court is helpless.

If my Chu family falls to the Beiyan court at this time, although the strength of my Chu family will not be appreciated by the Beiyan court, at least it can be regarded as a martial arts force that actively surrenders to Beiyan, and it can set an example. I believe the Beiyan court will not will treat us badly.

If we had Beiyan court as our backer, Canglan Sword Sect would not dare to touch us. "

The elders of the Chu family looked at each other. Although the plan Chu Xiu said sounded exaggerated, after careful consideration, it really made sense.

The Beiyan court had wanted Weijun for a long time, but Weijun's martial arts was tough, and the Beiyan court didn't want to turn against Weijun's martial arts, so they didn't use tough methods.

But the Chu family came from Eastern Qi before, and they didn't have any sense of belonging to Wei Jun. If they could really get close to the Beiyan court through this matter, it would definitely be a good thing for the Chu family.

Chu Xiu was silent at the side. The idea he gave to the Chu family can't be said to be a bad idea, but it can only be said to be good or bad.

It is indeed very likely that the Chu family will receive preferential treatment as he said before, as the first Wei County force to seek refuge with the Yan State.

But it is also possible that the Chu family will anger the entire Weijun Wulin, and thus be targeted, or even torn apart by the angry Weijun Wulin.

Of course, that's all for the future. At that time, it's not certain whether Chu Xiu will be in the Chu family. Whether the Chu family will be retaliated by the Wei County martial arts, what does it matter to him?

A gloomy look appeared on Chu Zongguang's face, but he didn't see the flaw in Chu Xiu's plan, he just didn't want to cause trouble.

After a while, Chu Zongguang snorted coldly and said: "Chu Xiu, I said last time that if you cause trouble again, I will take away all your business and let you go to the ancestral hall to reflect, but you You just took my words as deaf ears!

You have caused such a big incident this time, how to deal with it depends on the opinions of the Shen family, now you go to the ancestral hall to reflect on it! If my Chu family is targeted by the Shen family because of you, I can't spare you! "

Hearing this, Chu Xiu's eyes immediately revealed a gleam of coldness, Chu Zongguang's performance was somewhat beyond his expectation, he never thought that Chu Zongguang would be so cowardly.

According to the excuse Chu Xiu gave, it was the Chu family that was blackmailed by the Shen family first, and he was angry and killed him. He was a little impulsive, and he said the countermeasures in public, but Chu Zongguang was still afraid of conflict with the Shen family. punish him.

"Come here, take Chu Xiu to the ancestral hall, send someone to guard, and reflect on me!"

With a wave of Chu Zongguang's hand, two servants walked over in embarrassment, looked at Chu Xiu, and hoped that Chu Xiu would cooperate. After all, they were only servants, and they did not dare to be rough on Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu didn't explode on the spot, but obediently followed the two servants away.

To be honest, he miscalculated a little this time.

Chu Xiu has always been very calm, even when he wanted to kill Shen Rong temporarily. He thought of excuses and ways to break the situation.

It's just that the only thing he miscalculated was Chu Zongguang. He really couldn't imagine what his cheap father was thinking. As the head of the family, he was so timid and fearful. God knows how the Chu family got a foothold in Tongzhou Prefecture in the first place. .

After Chu Xiu was suppressed, Chu Kai, the boss who had been silent in the hall before, showed ecstasy and a little disbelief in his eyes.

All along, none of his three younger brothers has been honest, especially recently, no matter how arrogant Chu Kai is, he can feel that his position as the heir of the Chu family is no longer stable.

It turned out that within a few months, the fourth eldest Chu was injured and disabled, and then Chu Sheng made a big mistake and was imprisoned.

And Chu Xiu, who was the biggest threat to him, is now seeking his own death. He actually killed Shen Rong, the chief steward of the Shen family, and was deprived of all his powers. He was imprisoned in the ancestral hall for reflection. Did you grab it?

Thinking of this, Chu Kai felt a little complacent. His three idiot younger brothers did all the tricks, and they calculated and calculated, but in the end they all calculated themselves into it. In the end, the position of heir to the head of the family was still his!

Chu Zongguang waved his hands gloomyly, let everyone disperse, and said to Chen Guanjia: "Go to Shen's house, lower your posture, and ask them how to expose this matter. My Chu family has absolutely no It means to have a conflict with the Shen family."

Chen Butler wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, he could only leave with a sigh.

In the Shen family, because Shen Rong came to see Chu Xiu with only his confidant, Wang Er, no one else knew that Shen Rong was dead. It was not until Steward Chen came to the Shen family that everyone in the Shen family knew that Shen Rong was dead. It immediately caused an uproar in the Shen family, and someone immediately notified Shen Mo who was in retreat.

Shen Mo's age is not very old, only in his early thirties, handsome, he doesn't look like the head of the family, but like a romantic and suave son of a family.

Much like the Li family, the Shen family was also due to the accidental death of the old patriarch, so Shen Mo hastily took over as the patriarch.

It's just that at that time, Shen Mo was almost ostracized by the elders of the Shen family because of his lack of prestige. As a result, Shen Mo beheaded several elders of the Shen family in a fit of anger, and threatened on the spot that as long as the Shen family had his elder from the Canglan Sword Sect If the elder brother is here, it won't collapse, and the others will be the same if everyone is missing.

After a turmoil, Shen Mo used the heads of several elders to establish his position as the Patriarch, and let everyone in the Tongzhou Prefecture know that although the new Patriarch of the Shen family is young, his ruthlessness and determination far exceed that of his father .

At this time, Shen Mo was in retreat. Ever since he took control of the Shen family, Shen Mo actually didn't care much about the Shen family.

A few years ago, he followed his elder brother Shen Bai to the Canglan Sword Sect. That experience refreshed Shen Mo's three views and let him know what is considered a real martial arts school. In the eyes of Canglan Sword Sect, karma is not worth mentioning at all.

From then on, Shen Mo began to practice crazily in seclusion, wanting to join the Canglan Sword Sect, but unfortunately, although he and Shen Bai were brothers, their own talents were far behind.

Shen Bai is at the top in terms of talent and savvy, while Shen Mo can only be said to be above average.

This kind of talent is enough to join the Canglan Sword Sect, especially since Shen Bai is still the closed disciple of the head of the Canglan Sword Sect, so it is no problem for him to be included in the Canglan Sword Sect.

But the problem is that with his strength and talent, he can only be an outer disciple after joining the Canglan Sword Sect.

The older brother is the direct disciple of the head of the sect, but his younger brother is just an ordinary outer disciple, Shen Mo can't afford to lose this face.

So now he is also using up all his time to practice hard, in order to become an inner disciple after joining the Canglan Sword Sect in the future.

After being awakened from the retreat, Shen Mo's expression was a bit unkind, but after the servants told Shen Mo the news of Shen Rong's death, his expression immediately became gloomy.

To be honest, Shen Rong is not that important in Shen Mo's heart. Although he called Shen Rong Uncle Rong when he was a child, he even dared to kill his own uncles, the elders of the Shen family and other uncles. What counts?

The reason why he gave Shen Rong such a high status was because he couldn't trust the members of the Shen family's direct lineage and collateral lineage.

Although Shen Rong's ability and strength are average, and he is even very greedy, at least he is loyal enough to know who gave him the power in his body. In other words, Shen Rong is just Shen Mo's dog That's all, it's not the Shen family's dog, it's just a dog that belongs to him, Shen Mo.

But beating a dog depends on the owner, not to mention that someone dares to kill his dog now!
