Looking at Chen Chao's raised middle finger, Zhou Gouqi smiled slightly, then made fists with both hands, placed them in front of him, and then slowly raised his two middle fingers.
Chen Chao couldn't laugh or cry.
This made him easily think of the time when they met in Peach Blossom Alley, and they would quarrel. At that time, no one could have imagined that Chen Chao would now become the world's leading young martial artist, and they would never have imagined that this person who looked like
A vulgar man can now become a Confucian saint.
However, since it is no longer the past, the two of them no longer greet each other's ancestors. Zhou Wolfberry is okay, but the ancestors of the Chen Dynasty, counting up, are the ancestors of Daliang.
Zhou Gouqi glanced at the corpses on the ground and didn't care. After entering the alley, he sighed: "Tomorrow, when the neighbors see the corpses here, they will know that it was your boy who did this. I'm afraid that all eighteen generations of our ancestors will be punished."
Be greeted once more.”
Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, a group of government officials had already poured in outside the alley. The young magistrate died suddenly in Peach Blossom Lane. Now the one who made the decision in Tianqing County was the same young garrison. He glanced at Chen Chao, smiled and said nothing, and just let
His servants began to clean the alleys.
Zhou Gouqi ignored him and just took a few steps forward and said, "Come on, I have something to tell you."
The two came to Chen Chao's small courtyard, but at this moment, the small courtyard could hardly be called a small courtyard. Many of the walls had collapsed, and the entire ruins looked a bit desolate.
Zhou Gouqi looked at Chen Chao's gloomy face and said with a smile: "What's wrong? It's just a small courtyard and you still feel distressed?"
Chen Chao's face was expressionless, "I only let you destroy this little family fortune for me. I really want to chop you a few times right now."
Zhou Gouqi clicked his tongue and said, "Even if I stand here and let you chop me a hundred times, you won't necessarily be able to chop me to death."
Chen Chao sighed, "Isn't a saint amazing?"
That was there before
After saying this, Chen Chao ignored Zhou Gouqi, but went into the ruined house, dragged out two wooden benches, and threw one to Zhou Gouqi, while he leaned on the only remaining beam.
He reached out and took off a piece of patent leather from the pillar, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then he let out a sigh of relief.
After leaving Taohua Lane in these years, he has traveled to many places, but this is the place that makes him feel most at ease.
Those days when I exchanged insults with the guy opposite me are really worth remembering.
"Don't be so stingy. Not only is your kid rich, but he is also very rich. How many days does it cost to rebuild a small courtyard?"
Zhou Gouqi kicked some gravel aside, then put down the wooden stool, and sat down like that, crossing his legs, without any of the so-called saintly demeanor.
Chen Chao said, "Being an official in the imperial court, who knows how many days you can last. It's not like you don't know my current reputation. You might have to find a place to hide at some point. What will you do if you don't have money?"
Zhou Gouqi clicked his tongue and said, "Speaking of this, I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You would kill your own brother as soon as he said so. The second prince also died under your sword, right?"
The former incident is now known to the whole world, and the latter incident can actually be guessed by those who are interested, but there is no evidence. As long as Emperor Liang refuses to admit it, it will forever be in the dust of history and never appear in the eyes of the world again.
inside.
Chen Chao remained silent and just held the handle of the knife.
Zhou Gouqi suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, I almost became your brother-in-law, should I be considered half-brother now?"
"You tell her this."
Chen Chao let out a breath and felt a little upset. When he mentioned his sister, he always felt a little irritable, probably because he killed the second prince that night.
Zhou Gouqi also looked a little sad. He had sorry for many people in his life, but Her Royal Highness the Princess must be the most sorry person.
Looking at the paper kite in his hand, Zhou Gouqi laughed to himself.
"Okay, don't talk about this. Do you have to make my Taoist heart collapse and give up the realm of saints that I just obtained?"
Zhou Gouqi glanced at Chen Chao with some resentment, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Chen Chao's scalp felt numb for a while.
"Tell me something interesting. Do you want to tell a story first?"
Zhou Gouqi stared at Chen Chao in front of him. He had been holding back some words for many years and now he really wanted to talk about them.
Chen Chao picked his ears and said, "I don't like listening to stories very much."
Zhou Gouqi ignored him and just said softly: "If it were my junior sister, I guess there would be no need to tell this story, but you kid, even if you have been in the city of God for so long, you still don't know the stories that happened.
Not too interested."
Chen Chao did not refute, because it was indeed the case. It was not because he was not interested, but because he had done too many things in recent years and rarely had any free time. How could he have the time to listen to stories.
"I come from the Zhou clan in the divine capital, which is not a first-class clan. It cannot be compared with the aristocratic clans such as the Xie clan and the Wei clan. However, there are also many elders who are officials in the court. I am lucky enough to be favored by my teacher and become his
Disciple, if nothing goes wrong, I will probably become the next president of the academy in the future, and my family will be glorious because of me..."
Zhou Gouqi said: "No matter how bad you are, you won't be able to become the leader of scholars in the world. If you are an ordinary academy teacher, you can still get the title of great Confucian. If you practice hard, you should have no problem forgetting your worries. I have never thought that I, Mr. Zhou
This whole family will one day cease to exist."
"There were countless people in the whole clan, and overnight, no one survived."
Zhou Gouqi looked at Chen Chao. Although he tried his best to remain calm, there was really no calm in his eyes.
Chen Chao said: "I provoked Fang Wai."
Zhou Gouqi sneered, "It's a conspiracy."
"But I just figured it out."
Zhou Gouqi said calmly, "The cause of the matter is actually very simple. One of the members of the clan got acquainted with a foreign monk by chance. The two met and later found out that the man was carrying a sect secret treasure, which he obtained from the sect.
It was stolen. Later, after this person was captured and brought back, the secret treasure was not found, so naturally it was traced to me, Mr. Zhou."
Chen Chao asked curiously: "So did you take that thing or not?"
Zhou Gouqi shook his head and said: "In fact, it doesn't matter. Whether they take it or not is just a matter of speculation. Their intention has always been to destroy the Zhou family."
Chen Chao was silent. There was no need to elaborate on the rest of the story. He already knew how it would develop.
Chen Chao said: "Foreign forces are trying to destroy my family in the Liang Dynasty, and they are still in the capital of God. Your Majesty will not sit idly by and watch."
Zhou Gouqi nodded, "A hero like your majesty naturally doesn't want to see such a situation. After all, the outside world has already been oppressed to the extreme. It's a pity that your majesty had just entered the capital city not long ago, and his foothold was not stable, and he was powerless in many things."
.”
"What about the dean? Since you are the dean's disciple, is he looking at you like this?"
Chen Chao frowned.
"That sect is not small."
Zhou Gouqi smiled and said, "As for which one it is, I won't tell you. I will go there sooner or later."
"The most important thing is that they planned it very carefully. The secret treasure was indeed found in the Zhou family, and they had already made arrangements. There is a reason why all the insiders of the Zhou family must be wiped out."
Zhou Gouqi said calmly: "I can't resist, I can only watch."
The fire of the Zhou family that night was far more unforgettable to Zhou Gouqi than the fire of the imperial city.
After all, only if the stories that happen in the world are truly relevant to you can you really relate to them.
Chen Chao remained silent.
"In the end, His Majesty helped the Zhou family and allowed me to survive, but I could only remain anonymous."
Zhou Gouqi sighed, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to have a family destroyed.
Chen Chao said: "But you have not been idle these years, but why did you come to Weizhou?"
"This is the rest of the story."
Zhou Gouqi asked: "Didn't you find that there is a big problem in this story?"
Chen Chao thought for a while, frowned and said, "Reason."
Yes, reason.
Why did the Zhou family provoke that sect, and why did that sect deliberately plan to exterminate the entire Zhou family?
Need a reason.
Zhou Gouqi nodded and said, "I didn't figure it out until I arrived in Weizhou."
Chen Chao said: "You can't escape a ghost word."
The Zhou family was not a big family, and it did not have much influence on the entire Liang Dynasty. Someone was deliberately planning to destroy it, and there must be a hidden agenda.
"Have you found a ghost?"
Chen Chao looked at Zhou Gouqi and said, "That ghost invited me to silence him."
There is a ghost in Daliang Dynasty. It is the largest one. It has been hiding in Daliang Dynasty and has not been found yet.
This ghost is hiding in the dark, in the key points of the beam, and is constantly doing things that are beneficial to the outside world.
The Liang Dynasty lasted for more than two hundred years, and this ghost played an extremely important role in many important historical nodes.
"wrong."
Zhou Gouqi shook his head and said: "Since the ghost has been hiding for so many years, how could the Zhou family find it so easily? What's more, although there were people in the clan who were officials in the Sanfa Division, there was no clue."
"But when that ghost did this, it exposed its flaws."
Chen Chao heard this and felt a little confused.
Zhou Gouqi said calmly: "I have investigated for many years and found the truth."
Chen Chao asked: "Who is that ghost?"
Zhou Wolfberry answered the question, "The flood that occurred in the eleventh year of Tianjian was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
