Chapter 1429 Waving the flag, ninth grade swordsman, the storm is rising
"Tonight, I will bloodbath Kyoto!"
Sun Yi, who was immersed in the sadness of Lao Dou's death, heard Zhou Chen's words, and his blood suddenly surged into his heart, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Chen.
"Subordinate, I swear to follow the young master to the death."
"Go ahead, it's time to let the Thirty-Six Constellations come out."
"yes."
Sun Yi took the order and first asked someone to come to the room to clean up Lao Dou's remains, and then left to prepare.
After Zhou Chen left, he went to the ancestral hall in the mansion.
An Yuanbo's ancestors were not big shots. He only started to make a fortune in Zhou Chen's grandfather's generation. When his father, the old uncle, received the title of earl, he became a noble general in Kyoto.
The Zhou family's ancestral hall started from Grandpa Zhou Chen's father, his great-grandfather.
Arriving at the ancestral hall, Zhou Chen first paid homage, then went under the old uncle's tomb and took out a box.
This was an important item left by the old uncle in his memory before he died. He said that if he encountered any trouble that was difficult to solve in the future, he would open it and it might be of some help.
Zhou Chen knew what was inside. In fact, even if no one else was needed, he could solve this matter by himself.
But he is not prepared to do that. He wants to establish prestige for Uncle Anyuan's Mansion in Kyoto!
Opening the box, there was a dilapidated and dark battle flag inside. This was the flag that the old man used when he led the troops in battle. It was incomplete. Only the word "zhou" could be roughly seen on it, and there were dark blood stains on it.
"Tongquan."
"Master."
"Put this tooth flag in front of the mansion so that everyone passing by can see it."
"Yes, Master."
Tong Quan said nothing, respectfully took the flag from Zhou Chen's hand, and followed Zhou Chen's instructions.
Inspection Institute.
After Zhou Chen left, Chen Pingping asked Wang Qinian to find all the intelligence analysis of Uncle Anyuan's Mansion in the past three years.
The content is very sparse, and there was almost no effective information in the first two years. Until Zhou Chen quietly left Kyoto a year ago, and then a few months ago, the Northern Qi spies collected information on 'Zhou Chen', which is also considered the most useful.
Information.
But when he saw something from the past few days, his expression suddenly changed.
"Go and get me the files on a murder case seven days ago. The deceased was a woman named Dou."
The efficiency of the inspection institute was extremely fast. What Chen Pingping needed was quickly delivered to him. After reading it, he was silent for a long time.
He told the shadow behind him: "You go to Uncle Anyuan's Mansion. You don't need to go in. Just stay outside and see if anything happens in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion."
Shadow looked surprised: "Is the murder case you're looking at related to Grandmaster Xiao Zhou?"
Chen Pingping said in a deep voice: "It is related, but how big the relationship is depends on his character. If..."
He didn't say any more, but he already felt uneasy in his heart.
Seeing how serious Chen Pingping was, Shadow didn't ask any more questions and quickly carried out the order.
After about a quarter of an hour, the shadow came back.
"The front door of Uncle Anyuan's Mansion is wide open, but what's strange is that there is a damaged Zhou flag standing in front of their door. It seems to be the tooth flag used on the battlefield."
"Is there a tooth flag in front of the door?"
Chen Pingping looked confused and didn't understand what the operation was.
"Have someone call Zhuge from the first place."
Zhu Ge is sponsored by the First Division of the Inspection and Inspection Institute, which is responsible for supervising all officials in Kyoto. It is the most formidable institution in Kyoto.
After Zhuge arrived, he saluted respectfully: "Dean, are you looking for me?"
Chen Pingping did not say any nonsense and directly ordered: "There are people around Uncle Anyuan's Mansion keeping an eye on them. Remember, don't get close, don't ask too many questions, just keep an eye on it. If there is any sign of trouble, come to me immediately."
Report."
"Uncle Anyuan's Mansion?"
Zhuge looked puzzled at first, but suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Dean, is the new Grand Master really the young master of Uncle Anyuan's Mansion?"
Chen Pingping said: "Go and do as I say. Remember, don't meddle in other people's business. If you really anger the Grand Master, I won't be able to protect you."
After receiving a positive answer from Chen Pingping, Zhuge suddenly became serious.
"Dean, I understand, let's make arrangements now."
After Zhu Ge left, Chen Pingping looked at the murder case file in her hand and whispered with cold eyes.
"I have a feeling that there may be heavy rain in Kyoto tonight."
Anyuan Bo's Mansion, in the front yard.
Zhou Chen was sitting in the courtyard. At this moment, all the servants and maids around him had been dispersed. Apart from Zhou Chen, only Tong Quan was standing beside him.
At this time, there were more than a dozen mysterious people dressed in black and wearing different masks standing in the courtyard. They were the Thirty-Six Constellations who were secretly trained by Zhou Chen. They stood in the courtyard, silent and motionless, as if
statue.
In addition to those standing in the courtyard, there were also some Xingxiu who followed Sun Yi to do errands.
Zhou Chen had no expression on his face and was waiting quietly, not only for Sun Yi to come back, but also for the 'old man'.
At this time, more than an hour had passed since he hung the tooth flag at the door.
In a place like Kyoto, news can spread very quickly as long as you are willing.
…………
Da Liu is a clerk at a horse and carriage shop in Dongcheng, Kyoto. He is responsible for loading and unloading goods. Although he is over forty, he is strong and has great strength. Compared with those in their twenties and thirties, they are in their prime when doing work.
All men must be efficient.
He has no education and cannot read well, but he managed to settle down in Kyoto with just a little effort. Although he only settled down in Beicheng, he is already much better off than most people.
At this time, a batch of goods had just been unloaded. When it was time to eat, a group of people gathered together. Although it was just simple porridge and cakes, they still ate very deliciously.
"Brother Liu, you are stronger, and you will definitely earn the most this month."
A familiar friend teased Da Liu, and Da Liu smiled naively: "I only have this much strength left, and I am not as young as you. You have better opportunities. This is what I will do in my life."
"
Everyone gathered together to eat and drink, and suddenly one person spoke louder than the others.
"I just heard something strange from the shopkeeper. It's the Earl of Anyuan's Mansion over in the West City. Under the blue sky and white sun, there was actually a bloodstained and damaged tooth flag erected in front of the gate. It looked weird."
"Sir Pi, you want to die. You dare to talk about the Earl's Mansion. If you want to die, don't hurt us."
Uncle Anyuan's Mansion may be a little down and out in Kyoto where there are many powerful people, but no matter how downcast he is, he is still an aristocrat, so how can ordinary people like them talk about it behind their backs.
Da Liu ignored everything else and only heard the Earl of Anyuan's Mansion and the tooth flag standing in front of the door. He suddenly put down his bowls and chopsticks and rushed to Pi Sizi.
"Pi Sizi, you just said that there is a tooth flag standing in front of the gate of Earl Anyuan's Mansion?"
Pi Sizi was startled by Da Liu's eager look, and immediately nodded: "Yes, but I didn't see it, I secretly heard the shopkeeper say it."
Da Liu suddenly stood up, threw away the gloves in his hand, and walked straight out.
"Brother Liu, where are you going? I still have work to do in the afternoon."
"Quit, go home."
Liu returned home as quickly as possible. His wife was cooking for her son and daughter. She was very surprised to see her husband come back suddenly.
"Why are you back at this time?"
Da Liu looked at his wife and said softly: "Cui Niang, I..."
Cuiniang had been with Da Liu for more than ten years and knew her husband best. She knew something was wrong as soon as she saw his expression.
"Did something happen?"
