Zhang Yun's mansion was much larger than the courtyard of the Black Guards. What started as a dozen or so flames quickly turned into a massive fire, with billowing black smoke rising into the sky, and the scorching flames devouring everything that could burn around it.
The woman next to Ma Zhong stared at the growing fire in front of her with a look of disbelief. After all, she was from a wealthy family and had calmed down. She also had the support of her family behind her.
Therefore, I can sit firmly in the position of the head wife.
It is precisely because he comes from a big family that he understands the madness of Ma Zhong and others. Although the Zhang family is not as good as the Cai family in the Jingxiang area, their real strength is not weak. Zhang Yun's father Zhang Wen is a Taiwei.
At that time, the Zhang family was also the largest family in Jingxiang area.
Now, although the power of the Zhang family has weakened somewhat after Zhang Wen's death, it is not something that just anyone can provoke. The person in front of him not only massacred hundreds of people in the mansion, but also several of Zhang Yun's
The concubine has now even burned down this mansion.
Even Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, would not dare to treat the Zhang family like this. Zhang Yun's father, Zhang Wen, assassinated the traitor Dong Zhuo and died, and he was quite famous in the Jingxiang area. The master of the person in front of him did not know who he was.
If you don't take the Zhang family seriously, you must know that this is Xiangyang City. Such blatant murders and arson in Xiangyang City don't take Liu Biao, the leader of the state, seriously.
Thinking of this, she not only thought of Zhang Yun who didn't come back today. If Zhang Yun didn't come back today, these people would come to kill people and set fires today. Moreover, until now, no one had come out to help for such a long time. But she knew that Cai Hao had returned to the mansion today.
, the Cai family and the Zhang family have never differentiated between you and me. Why did Cai Mao not react at all when such a big thing happened to the Zhang family?
By the time the woman came to her senses, Ma Zhong had disappeared. When the woman took a deep breath and was about to take the two children to their grandfather's house to take shelter temporarily, two guards in golden clothes stopped them.
"You can't leave here tonight!" The cold voice made the woman shudder, and she hurriedly pulled her two sons back to where they were.
Seeing the three people returning to their original place, the figures of the two Jin Yiwei disappeared in a flash.
It didn't matter that it wasn't midsummer yet, but it was a bit cold at night. The three of them hurried out and didn't even have time to grab their thick clothes.
The woman had no choice but to take her two sons to the corner to escape the night wind, and the three of them hugged each other to keep each other warm.
In Cai Mao's Mansion, Cai Mao has been uneasy since he saw the fire in the black-clad guard's lair. He kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard. He wanted to send someone to check the situation, but he found that the Flying Tiger Army on the streets around Cai Mao's Mansion was particularly special.
many.
"Huh?" Cai Hao suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Zhang Yun's Mansion. He saw black smoke billowing and the fire soaring into the sky, which was many times bigger than the fire just now.
"That's the Zhang Mansion!" Cai Hao suddenly exclaimed.
"Come here!" Cai Mao shouted immediately.
"Lord." As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen figures flashed out, came to Cai Mao and bowed.
"Go, go and see what's going on there?" Cai Hao pointed to the fire in the distance and said anxiously. The Zhang family and the Cai family are almost indifferent between you and me. At this time, the Zhang family is the biggest help to the Cai family.
There must be no room for error.
"No." More than ten figures disappeared quickly.
More than a dozen figures left the mansion, originally planning to fight with the Flying Tiger Army. Only then did they realize that the Flying Tiger Army on the street had left at some point, and a dozen people immediately headed towards the light of the fire.
In Kuai Mansion, at almost the same moment, Kuai Yue also sent people to check. Although he vaguely knew that the place should be Zhang Mansion, he couldn't believe it in his heart.
The Zhang family, the Jingxiang family, and even the Kuai family did not dare to fall out with them easily. Could it be that Liu Qi dared to risk the world's disapproval and destroy the Zhang family. Thinking of this, Kuai Yue became more and more anxious, and Liu Qi found it more difficult than he imagined.
To deal with it, it had developed to this point in just a few months, and he had to make plans.
The blazing fire in Zhang Mansion naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested, but most of the officials in Xiangyang City were temporarily detained in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, so only a few took any action.
In the first fire, the people who were released naturally knew that they were the black-clothed guards of the Cai family. It was okay for the black-clothed guards to assassinate Liu Qi to vent their anger and ease the conflict between the Cai family and Liu Biao, but this time it was different. Jingzhou was one of the best.
A large family, the Zhang family.
Seeing such a fire, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others all felt awe-inspiring. Liu Qi dared to kill even the Zhang family, so he naturally dared to kill their family. Although he knew that it was unlikely, but if it happened in the future
If you go against Liu Qi, the outcome will definitely not be any better.
On the school grounds, Liu Qi stood on a high platform, looking at the fire in the distance and nodded to Ma Zhong behind him: "You did a good job this time."
"Thank you, Lord!" Ma Zhong said excitedly. He trained the Jin Yiwei.
"General Wang, it's time for you to set off." Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Wang Yi behind him.
"Young Master, don't worry, no one will cause trouble before dawn." After saying that, they got off the high platform, and the two thousand Flying Tiger Army and several hundred Flying Tiger Guards immediately set off towards the Zhang Mansion.
When the Flying Tiger Army arrived at Zhang's Mansion, several waves of troops had already arrived. When they saw the Flying Tiger Army, they immediately hid and ordered people to pass the news back.
"Seal the surrounding area and no one is allowed to approach. Call up those who are closer and ask them to leave temporarily. Tell them that all losses will be compensated by Zhang Yun." Wang Yi said to the Feihu Army in high spirits.
"No." The two thousand flying tiger troops immediately separated and surrounded the Zhang Mansion like an iron barrel.
In Cai Hao's house, Cai Hao was furious after hearing the guard's report, with a ferocious look on his face.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!, little beast, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, hum! You think you can hit the Cai family in this way, what a dream!" Cai Mao from the Cai Mansion cursed regardless of his image.
Got up.
"The little beast will definitely eat your flesh and drink your blood someday!"
If the demise of the Black Guards is within the tolerance of the Cai family, the destruction of the Zhang family is another threat to the Cai family's fate.
As we all know, the Zhang family and the Cai family are inseparable. Now the Cai family cannot even save the Zhang family, let alone others. After today, many families will definitely draw a clear line with the Cai family. The influence of the Cai family in Xiangyang
The force will become weaker and weaker.
Although the Zhang family is not extinct yet, any fool can see that the Zhang family will definitely be in ruins from now on. That mansion is the ancestral home of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family spent a lot of energy to build that mansion.
.It contains not only the wealth accumulated by the Zhang family, but also all the books of the Zhang family.
The reason why a noble family can be called a noble family is because of these books. Everything can be discarded but books cannot be discarded. This is what all noble families will adhere to.
Copying books is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and only aristocratic families have the ability to copy and inherit these books over and over again. Ordinary people may never see the books in their lifetime.
With these books, children from aristocratic families can receive education from an early age and can continuously produce talents. These books can also attract customers. All children from poor families who come to borrow books will be marked with the logo of this aristocratic family. No matter where they go, they will belong to this aristocratic family.
of hangers-on.
This is the key to the survival of all aristocratic families.
Now, all the accumulation of the Zhang family has been burned down. One can imagine the blow this has had on the Zhang family. Even with the support of the Cai family, it will be difficult to prosper without outstanding talents.
Cai Mao could imagine how empty the crowd would be in front of his mansion after tomorrow. He had to be angry that even a saint would not sit idly by. Moreover, Liu Qiming and Wang Yi stayed in front of Zhang Mansion and did not allow anyone to approach. This was a warning to Xiangyang City.
Officials, this is the consequence of forming an alliance with the Cai family.
After losing his temper, Cai Mao calmed down. When he returned to the study, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could not delay it any longer. No matter whether Cao Cao could defeat Yuan Shao or not, he would send someone to contact him. Originally, he had to wait for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
He will decide after the fight, but now Yuan Shao's envoy is in Liu Biao's house, and Liu Qi is pressing so hard, he has to think ahead. After all, if he and Liu Biao fight to the death at this time, even if Cao Cao is surrendered, the Cai family will
It will also decline.
The Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion seemed to be particularly lively today. Officials gathered in the courtyard to discuss matters for the evening. The officials were already a little uneasy when they saw the fire just now. Unexpectedly, there was a bigger fire not long after.
The officials in the Prefecture and Mufu Mansion were concerned one by one.
Everyone was discussing in low voices when suddenly a loud shout was heard.
Everyone turned around and saw Zhang Yun, who had a look of grief and anger on his face, howling hysterically, his eyes staring tightly at the fire as if he was about to spit fire.
"What happened to Zhang Yun? Someone burned down his house, right?"
"How can that be possible? Who dares to offend the Zhang family because of its huge power?"
"That's right, Military Advisor Cai is outside the mansion right now. How could he possibly let anything happen to the Zhang family?"
……………………
"Who is it! Who dares to destroy our Zhang family?" Zhang Yun shouted with grief and anger.
Hearing Zhang Yun's shout, all the officials around looked at Zhang Yun in disbelief. The Zhang family had united with the Cai family in recent years, and the people in the family were all arrogant. Although they looked uncomfortable, they were not uncomfortable either.
I dared to provoke the Zhang family. I didn’t expect that the Zhang family would end like this today.
"Is that the Zhang Mansion?" an official said cautiously.
"Hiss..." All the officials present took a deep breath. That was the Zhang family. No one present could compare to it, and only a few of those who had been released in the entire Xiangyang City could compare.
"What exactly happened?" Everyone was filled with doubts.
