Chapter 1,431 The End, Famous in Kyoto, Ignoring Emperor Qing
Chapter 1433 The End, Famous in Kyoto, Ignoring Emperor Qing
The second prince's retreat means that this incident has almost come to an end.
Wei Yushi committed suicide, and another person was pulled out from the Wei family, who was Wei Yushi's eldest son. Together with Huang Shilang and Ma Langzhong, they began to select people.
This time, Huang Shilang and the others no longer dared to play tricks, and honestly chose their own family.
A more bloody scene happened. The previous cruelty was all decided by Zhou Chen. Even though it was very bloody and had a great impact, because they were unable to resist, and the number of people who died was not that many, it was difficult for many people.
, not really despair.
But at this moment, starting from the selection of Huang Shilang and the other three, that is the real despair.
Sometimes family ties are very strong, but sometimes they are fragile and can be broken at the touch of a blow, especially when facing life or death.
Desperate roars, filthy words, sons scolding their fathers, wives scolding their husbands, mothers scolding their sons...
Such a scene is absolutely touching, but for Xingwei and those who came with Zhou Chen, they may feel a little uncomfortable, but they will never sympathize. After all, it was these three families who killed Lao Dou's family.
My comrades are dead, do I still have to sympathize with you murderers?
It was very fair to let the three families choose twenty lives. The Huang family and Ma family chose seven people, and the Wei family chose six people.
But the real death toll is not this number, because some people could not accept this opportunity and chose to commit suicide.
Therefore, since the selection of Huang Shilang and the others, a total of twenty-three people have died. Three of them committed suicide, and all of them were women. Two of them died together with their children because they could not accept that their children were selected.
, and another one couldn't accept her husband's death and chose to die for love.
Even in such a murderer's family, there are still people with true feelings, but many things are sometimes so out of control.
The Huang family's mansion collapsed, and the road in front of the mansion was stained red with blood. In addition, from the beginning of the arrests and the start of the operation tonight, the number of deaths exceeded sixty people.
The bloodbath in Kyoto may be an exaggeration, but it can still be regarded as the bloodbath in the Huang Mansion.
After a while, Tong Quan came to the carriage to report.
"Master, it's been solved, what should we do next?"
"Take the bodies of the three people away and feed them to the dogs. Don't worry about the others. Someone will wash the floor. Let's go."
Today's goal has been achieved, and Zhou Chen did not stay any longer. As Tong Quan conveyed his order, everyone evacuated in an orderly manner.
After returning, Zhou Chen asked Sun Yi to take Xingwei to find a suitable burial place for Lao Dou's family. Then he asked Tong Quan to take out some money and distribute it to the old people who came to the house today, and stated what he had said before.
count.
If any of them are willing to join Anyuanbo's Mansion, they can bring their families with them, and they will become members of Anyuanbo's Mansion from now on.
After solving these matters, Zhou Chen put the previous battle flag back into the box and placed it under the old uncle's memorial tablet. This chess piece will not be used again in the future, so let it stay in the ancestral hall.
Although Zhou Chen's large army has left, the storm tonight is not over yet, and even greater storms and impacts are still to come.
Inspection Institute.
Chen Pingping never fell asleep, quietly listening to the shadow's report under the dim light.
Someone had been reporting the situation to him before, but he knew that Shadow must have seen more, so Shadow's return was more important.
Shadow told Chen Pingping everything that happened tonight, and at the end he added a few words of his own.
"You're right. Fortunately, I didn't go to him to spar. Otherwise, he might have killed me with one palm. Grandmaster is really not a human being. Compared with this, it would be safer to spar with Master Wu Zhu Wu."
Chen Pingping ignored his emotion and made an evaluation of Zhou Chen in her heart.
"Judging from the way he does things, his methods may be vicious, but he is not a murderous character. He is very independent and has his own way of doing things. However, he does not give the second prince any face, and even takes action.
Even though the Second Prince was not hurt, it can be seen that after becoming the Grand Master, he no longer has any respect for the imperial power."
Shadow said: "Isn't this normal? When you reach the level of a grand master, you are no longer a mortal. No matter how powerful the imperial power is, it cannot restrain the grand master. I think his behavior is very consistent with the status of a grand master."
He evaluated me as a warrior. I am already a grand master. If I still fear the imperial power, wouldn’t my achievement as a grand master be in vain?
As for Hong Sixiang, who is said to be the grand master in the palace, that guy is just a eunuch, and there is no substantial evidence to prove that Hong Sixiang is the mysterious grand master in the palace.
Anyway, he just felt that compared to the hiding and unknown grand master in the Qingguo Palace, a grand master like Zhou Chen who could do whatever he wanted was more in line with his image of a grand master.
Chen Pingping was also a ninth-level master before, so she naturally understood what Shadow was thinking.
"Having said that, this is Kyoto, and our Majesty values the imperial power the most. I don't know what he will think of this Grandmaster Xiao Zhou."
As the largest eagle dog under Emperor Qing, he is naturally one of the people who understands Emperor Qing best. Emperor Qing's ambition is to swallow up the world, and the imperial power is supreme. When he meets Zhou Chen, a young, arrogant, domineering and powerful young grandmaster,
What methods will be used to win over?
Thinking of his meeting with Zhou Chen during the day and the conversations he had with Zhou Chen, he felt that someone like Zhou Chen might not be able to be restrained by any power.
"This Grandmaster Xiao Zhou is no less powerful than Ku He and Si Gu Jian. I am afraid he will be a more troublesome person than Ye Liuyun."
Chen Pingping is not a grand master and cannot understand the fighting power of a grand master, but he estimates that Zhou Chen should not be weaker than Ku He and Si Gu Jian now. If he is given a little more time, with Zhou Chen's talent, he might be able to
Stronger than the other four great masters.
"I wonder if he would give me the face to go sit in my Chenyuan."
In the East Palace, after the prince learned about the situation, he couldn't help laughing.
"Second brother, he is really stupid to the extreme this time. He knows that Zhou Chen is a great master, but he doesn't think he can do anything to save his face. Do you really think that anyone will give him the face of a prince?"
Li Chengze is the biggest threat to his position as prince. As long as he sees Li Chengze defeated, he will be very happy.
"We must try to win over this Zhou Chen. If I can get the support of a great master, even His Majesty will definitely value me more."
In Changxin Palace, the eldest princess Li Yunrui's eyes flickered, and she looked extremely charming.
Just from the description of Zhou Chen, she was already a little fascinated. This magical little master Zhou seemed to be just as she imagined, a very charming man.
"The second child made a mistake this time. He was also stupid. He went to offend the grand master for a mere minister of punishment. After all, he is young and has never seen big events. There are only five grand masters in the world. If he is so easily frightened by the imperial power, then
What a great master."
??????55.??????
"This Grandmaster Xiao Zhou has good methods, but he is a little soft-hearted. He wants to avenge his people, but he is soft-hearted. Doesn't he understand the principle of cutting off the grass and eradicating the roots? Or is he too confident in his own power, so he is not afraid of these at all?
?”
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting. I have to find a way to meet him. I can't wait now..."
In comparison, Emperor Qing's bedroom seemed very quiet at this time.
After learning the whole process, Emperor Qing waved his hand to Eunuch Hou to leave, leaving him alone in the palace.
"Destroying a family with one palm is indeed the fighting power of a great master. I heard that his best skill is using a sword. How powerful would he be if he had a sword in his hand?"
He himself is a Grand Master, so he knows very well how terrifying the Grand Master's combat power is, but even a Grand Master actually has strengths and weaknesses, but it's just not that obvious.
But Zhou Chen is obviously different. The 19-year-old weak-crowned grandmaster, no one dares to imagine whether he will go further in the future, but in any case, he will definitely have more potential than the four of them. This is needless
Doubtful.
This is also what he is most afraid of. He has not yet thought of a solution to the other three great masters, and now there is an even more powerful one like Zhou Chen.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen is the grand master of their Qing Kingdom. If he were the grand master of Northern Qi or Dongyi City, he would be even more unable to sleep now.
Thinking that Zhou Chen slapped Li Chengze, although he missed, it was still a warning, Emperor Qing felt very bad.
He has always been supreme in imperial power, and he does not allow anyone to override his imperial power, even the Grand Master, so Zhou Chen's behavior angered him.
It's just that he knows better that there is nothing he can do against Zhou Chen now. Zhou Chen's combat power is no longer weaker than him. As the king of a country, of course he can't go to fight Zhou Chen just because of the joy and anger in his heart.
.
So before he was absolutely sure, he could only endure and wait for the opportunity, just like he did with Ye Qingmei, waiting for an opportunity at the right time and place.
Overnight, the news spread throughout Kyoto, and by daylight the next day, the tragic situation in the Huang Mansion was already known to most people in Kyoto.
After all, there are only a few people who know the true process, so all kinds of mysterious rumors have come out, but one thing is correct.
It was the Grand Master who took action last night. The Huang Mansion was destroyed because of the Grand Master's palm.
Some people don't believe it, but some people believe it. Many people went to the Huang Mansion to see it, especially those with martial arts experience. They all wanted to admire the great master's methods.
The fifth Grand Master in the world is the heir to the Earl of Anyuan. Zhou Chen, a young Grand Master who has not yet been crowned, has become the most famous figure in Kyoto overnight.
When ordinary people heard the news, they would only say a few words of surprise and then go about their business, but for those powerful officials, the meaning was different.
The Grand Master is the strongest warrior in the world and the country's most powerful strategic weapon. Having an additional Grand Master is definitely a great thing for Qing.
It's just that what Zhou Chen did last night made many people feel cold. He completely ignored the law and used lynching and wanton killing of third-rank officials of the imperial court.
It's fear in the heart.
Zhou Chen didn't care what others thought of him. He did nothing else today. He personally presided over the funeral of Lao Dou's family. Everyone who went with him yesterday also attended the funeral.
When Lao Dou's family died, there was no sound, but because of Zhou Chen's presence, their funeral became a little different, except that people died like lights going out, and they couldn't see it.
After the funeral, as soon as Zhou Chen returned to the house, Tong Quan came over to report that many people in Kyoto had sent messages and gifts today.
Tong Quan didn't dare to accept the gift, but she did accept the posts. Many of them were greetings, and some were invitations to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen just looked at it casually. The people who sent the posts were all extraordinary, but he casually threw them aside.
In the evening, Emperor Qing's oral instructions came from the palace.
The person who delivered the message was Emperor Qing's confidant Eunuch Hou. He was responsible for delivering the oral message, but he had already drank two cups of tea and still didn't see Zhou Chen.
When Tong Quan, who had gone to report the matter, came back, he hurriedly asked: "Is Mr. Zhou not here?"
Tong Quan looked apologetic: "Father, I'm really sorry. Our young master's old injury has relapsed. He is recovering from his injuries and can't see anyone."
Eunuch Hou was stunned: "Mr. Zhou is a great master, how could he be injured?"
Tong Quan showed a sad expression: "It was an injury I sustained during a sword duel with Si Gu Jian. I had no choice but to move my hand last night, which caused the old injury to relapse. I don't know what my father-in-law is here for. I can help spread the word."
Eunuch Hou remained calm, but in his heart he didn't believe it at all. He was a liar. He looked like he was hurt at all like yesterday.
But of course he couldn't show it. Instead, he said Emperor Qing's oral instructions in a pleasant manner, saying that there would be a court meeting tomorrow and asked Zhou Chen to attend.
After sending Eunuch Hou away, Tong Quan came to Zhou Chen's yard, where Zhou Chen was carving with a carving knife.
"You want me to attend the court meeting tomorrow? I have no official status and I have not inherited the title. How can I attend the morning court? Tong Quan, go and write me a note. Even if I am seriously injured and unable to move, I will not go to the court meeting."
Tong Quan showed hesitation: "Master, after all, this is His Majesty's order. Is this really good?"
Zhou Chen said lightly: "What's wrong? A grand master must behave like a grand master. Although I don't care much about this, I can't lower the status of a grand master. What's more, this majesty may not really want to
If you want to see me, after all, no matter how deep a person hides, he will still be afraid of revealing his flaws."
Emperor Qing had always concealed his martial arts skills because he was afraid that people would see that he was a great master.
Zhou Chen is the Grand Master, and as someone of the same level as him, he will naturally worry about being seen through, but as the emperor, it is impossible for him not to summon Zhou Chen, the newly promoted Grand Master.
Zhou Chen felt that if he refused to go, Emperor Qing would not blame him, but would actually breathe a sigh of relief.
It just so happened that Zhou Chen didn't want to see Emperor Qing, an old majesty, and was too lazy to deal with him hypocritically.
Due to Emperor Qing's character, from the moment he became the Grand Master, it was destined that they would not be able to have a normal relationship between king and minister.
What's more, Zhou Chen also dislikes Emperor Qing, and now he has the right to ignore him. If Emperor Qing doesn't plot against him, and doesn't target him, they can at least maintain a friendly relationship on the surface. If Emperor Qing wants to plot against him, he will
He would not be polite to Emperor Qing either.
Of course, due to mission reasons, he still had to find an opportunity to fight Emperor Qing.
But Zhou Chen didn't know that he didn't attend the court meeting, but there was a lot of commotion at the court meeting the next day because of him.
