Zhang Chu sat with his mother in the courtyard.

Quietly waiting for his "cousin" or his "uncle" to come to the door.

He mentally planned that if he spoke well today, he would just give them a small blow. After all, he was not his predecessor, and he did not have a strong dislike for that family. He did not have to kill people.

But if it's not possible, then it's not possible, and he will bring blood to that family. Anyway, neither his predecessor nor he has a good impression of that family.

I don't have any strong dislike, but I don't have any good feelings either.

It doesn't matter if I kill him, and I don't mind if I don't kill him.

This is his attitude on the matter!

However, about two quarters of an hour later, a brother from the blood-coated team came quickly with a big red post and whispered in his ear: "Master Chu, there are some police officers outside, take that

The body was dragged away."

Zhang Chu took the post and opened it, and saw three strong regular scripts written at the signature: Liu Degui.

The content of the post was nothing more than an invitation to where he would go for a banquet on a certain day of a certain month and year...

"Ah!"

Zhang Chu sneered, "It's this cliché trick again!"

What a treat!

This is obviously a demonstration to him!

Tell him, I knew it as soon as you entered my territory. I just don't want to touch you, but don't be too proud. Just calm down for me. If you cause trouble again, be careful I'll stab you!

He threw the post back casually and said softly: "Go back and tell Daxiong to pick two brothers and send this invitation, one hundred taels of silver, and a knife to the bed of the county captain Liu at night.

Head, with the cooperation of the Blood Shadow Guards... Remember, don't disturb Mr. Liu's dream!"

This brother of the Blood Knife Team clasped his fists to the end, took the invitation and turned around to go out.

Zhang Chu took off the melon skin cap on his head and touched his smooth scalp.

He still felt a little regretful that he couldn't do a big business.

At least, he earned one or two thousand taels of silver... which was a benefit to his cheap uncle.

He thought for a while, stood up and said to his mother with a smile: "Mom, the owner of this house already knows that the original owner has returned, and has returned the house to the original owner. If you like it here, let's live here in the next few days, right?"

"

"I don't like it, I don't like it!"

Mrs. Zhang stood up, shook her head repeatedly and said: "When Mom saw this house, she thought of our old house, right here. There used to be a loquat tree here. Your father planted it when you were born. We left.

At that time, it was already as high as two stories...now, it's gone."

"As the old saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. No matter how nice this house is, it is not our home!"

Li Gouzi on the side nodded his head and agreed with Zhang's statement, "That's not the truth!"

Zhang Chu glanced at him and said sarcastically: "Why are you so proud? The kennel my mother said is just a way of saying it, but your kennel is a real kennel... You can tell it for yourself, if you don't have a young mother,

I'm going to tidy up your house, but your house smells like feet. Can anyone get in?"

Li Gouzi blinked his little eyes and looked at him, and whispered angrily: "Let me tell you, you are no better than me. Isn't your aunt also cleaning up your house?"

Zhang Chu snorted coldly, but Quan pretended not to hear.

"Mom, my son just saw that among the people watching the excitement, there are no old neighbors like ours. I guess the big flood four years ago has dispersed everyone, and it will be difficult for us to find them in a while.

If you ask me, let’s stop looking for it, finish sweeping the tombs of our ancestors, repair the tombs of father and eldest brother, and then go back to Jintian Mansion!”

He was worried about his master's health and wanted to go back as soon as possible to spend time with his old man.

Besides, he is now eager to practice martial arts, improve his realm, and strengthen his strength. He really has no mood to continue jumping around in a small pond like Jintian County.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said slowly: "Just do as you say!"

She was very disappointed during this trip back home.

Asking for something but not getting it may not be a bad thing sometimes.

At least I still have some thoughts in my heart.

Take Zhang for example.

What she thinks about day and night is returning to Jintian County.

Take another look at the old house where my husband raised his son, and the tall loquat tree in the courtyard.

Meet the acquaintances who lived next to each other again and talk to each other about the ups and downs of the past few years.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment...

She dragged her body, stepped over mountains and rivers, and came back full of expectations.

What I saw was that things and people were different!

This made her miss the children in Zhang's Mansion in the west of the city.

That is her home...

Zhang Chu smiled and comforted the old man and said, "Don't worry, even if we can't find those old neighbors, my son will handle the affairs of his father and eldest brother beautifully."

…

That night.

Jintian County Lieutenant Liu Degui, who fell into a deep sleep after working hard on the twelfth concubine of Xinna for half the night, was awakened by a soft rustling sound.

He opened his eyes and listened attentively for a long time. The voice became softer and softer, like the movement of a mouse.

He just said that he was too preoccupied. Just as he was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, he felt his mouth was dry. He ignored the person beside him who was sleeping peacefully and roughly pushed him awake: "Hongxiu, Hongxiu, go and give me a drink."

Please bring me a cup of tea!"

The twenty-eight-year-old man next to the pillow got up from bed with sleepy eyes, a smile on his face, and a feeling of guilt in his heart, and went to pour tea for the official whose beard was half white.

She fumbled and took out the flint to light the oil lamp on the tea table. After her eyes adjusted to the dim light of the oil lamp, she suddenly saw a long object on the table reflecting a faint metallic light.

She curiously went up to take a look, and the next second, a high-pitched scream like a slaughtering pig broke the quiet night of Liu Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Degui shouted in shock and anger, suppressing the screams of the person next to him: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming! Where are all the people dead..."

In the dark Liu Mansion, lights quickly lit up.

A quarter of an hour later, a soldier wearing armor and holding a red-tasseled spear walked quickly into Liu Degui's room, sweating profusely, knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, I have searched the entire mansion and found no trace of the thief!

"

The position of county captain is responsible for the military affairs and banditry affairs of a county. The power is only subordinate to the county magistrate. He is an official of the imperial court with the title of eighth rank. The official residence is naturally guarded by soldiers.

Liu Degui ignored the soldiers in the hall.

He stared gloomily at the invitation in his hand, which was sent out after noon, but returned to him at midnight along with a hundred taels of silver and a sharp long knife. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and grabbed the hand beside him.

He threw his tea bowl at the forehead of the soldier in the hall and roared angrily: "You are a bunch of losers. What do I want from you? Get out!"

The soldier's forehead was dripping with blood, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it. After a respectful "hey", he stood up and bent over and slowly fell out.

Liu Degui lowered his head again, his eyes wandering back and forth between the one hundred taels of white silver ingots and the sharp long knife, his eyes flickering on and off.

He could see that there were two meanings in this.

The first level: either collect money and stop, or die and stop, choose one!

Second level: Since they can bring the knife to his bedside, they can also use the knife to cut off his head!

In fact, he was not afraid of these people's ability to bring money and knives to his bedside.

He has been an official for many years and has seen many thieves who have the skills of a gentleman in Liang Shang.

What he was afraid of was the lawless and rigid attitude of this group of people!

It was only in the afternoon that he sent an invitation containing a threat to the group of people.

That group of people returned the real threat to his bedside at night.

This is not even the slightest sign of weakness!

And he didn’t take him as the captain of Jintian County seriously at all!

He pondered for a long time, finally let out a long sigh and said to himself, "That's it."

He had no intention of avenging his half-brother Liu Defu.

Liu Defu's only son died, and there was no heir to the ancestral property. He happened to send a son to take over the ancestral property in a legitimate manner.

This kind of person is sitting at home, rejoicing in the good things coming from heaven. He sets off firecrackers to thank this group of people before it is too late!

revenge?

He had a hole in his mind, so he would find a group of strong men who could annihilate half of the bandits in Heiyun Village in one battle, and even kill the "blocker" Li Baoshan to take revenge!

He is the county lieutenant in charge of military affairs and banditry in a county. His idiot brother doesn't know how strong Heiyun Village is. How can he still not know it?

At least the few soldiers and generals he has under him cannot defeat Heiyun Village!
