"Did you kill the eldest lady and Su Mou?!"
In the small courtyard, the great elder's breath suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Zhou Jianlai and shouted sternly.
The sword in Zhou Jianlai's hand suddenly reminded him that both Qin Xinru and Su Mou died tragically from sword wounds, and the fatal and sharp wound from the sword showed that the perpetrator was a master with a sword, and Zhou Jianlai was a master with a sword.
Zhou Jianlai was not only a master with the sword, he also had enough motive to kill, because the existence of Qin Xinru and Su Mou was the biggest obstacle for Yuan Taiping to marry Qin Rulan. It makes perfect sense that he killed someone in anger to clear the obstacle for Yuan Taiping.
It is undeniable that this is indeed possible if you encounter ruthless and vicious people.
But Zhou Jianlai is not this kind of person, and he disdains doing this kind of thing.
"I didn't kill them." Zhou Jianlai responded calmly.
"Who killed that?!" the great elder asked.
"How do I know?" Zhou Jianlai said angrily.
"Both of them died under a sharp sword, and you had the motive and ability to kill. Moreover, you and Yuan Taiping just returned to Baiyun City, and the two of them met with misfortune immediately. Is there such a coincidence in the world?
?" the great elder asked.
Zhou Jianlai laughed angrily and said: "In my opinion, the great elder's motive for killing is much stronger than mine."
"What did you say?!" The great elder was furious when he heard this.
"Kill Su Mou and the eldest lady, depose the second young master of the Qin family, and then support the weak second young lady Qin to take over as the head of the Qin family. In this way, the huge Qin family's fortune will fall into your hands. What a good idea.
,What a trick!" Zhou Jianlai clapped his hands and praised.
He knew that it was definitely not the Great Elder who did it, but whoever made the Great Elder disgust him first, then he would retaliate in kind and throw dirty water on the Great Elder, so that he could also taste the feeling of being slandered.
"Shuzi, you are telling lies with evil words. You have a sinister heart and you deserve to be punished!" The great elder was so angry at Zhou Jianlai's words that his beard and eyebrows trembled, and his eyeballs were about to burst. He pointed at Zhou Jianlai with trembling fingers and scolded loudly.
Compared with Qin Chuo's heart-wrenching words that made him feel cold, Zhou Jianlai's words were even more heart-wrenching, and they were simply sharper than a murderous knife.
Seeing the furious look of the great elder, Zhou Jianlai suddenly felt much relieved and teased: "Usually, the louder the voice, the more guilty it is."
"you"
Zhou Jianlai interrupted the elder who wanted to speak, and said: "How about we go to Bo Gongtang and let the officials in the yamen and the entire Baiyun City comment, and see if everyone believes more in you or me?
"
The great elder was so angry that his body trembled and his face turned pale.
There is no need to think about this problem. People must believe Zhou Jianlai's words more.
First of all, this is what all the forces in Baiyun City want to see. They will definitely not miss this great opportunity. They will definitely fan the evil wind and stir up public opinion to get rid of him as an obstacle.
Secondly, the Qin Liu family, Qin Chuo, and other members of the Qin family, even if they believe that Su Mou and Qin Xinru were not killed by him, they will never let him interfere in family affairs again, because rumors are terrible and they will not fail to guard against them.
dong dong dong
There was a knock on the door of the small courtyard, and then a voice came from the inquiry: "Great Elder, I heard a strange noise in your courtyard. Is there a thief breaking in?"
The quarrel between the great elder and Zhou Jianlai alerted the guards who were watching the night.
The Great Elder took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied: "I'm fine here, please continue to be vigilant and don't let the thieves take advantage of it."
"No!" the guard responded and retreated.
As soon as the sound of the guard's footsteps disappearing from his ears, the great elder suddenly attacked Zhou Jianlai. He was within a dozen steps of him and was approaching him. His right palm was wrapped with the power of the stars and he slapped Zhou Jianlai. Looking at his posture, he wanted to
He slapped Zhou Jianlai to the ground.
But Zhou Jianlai's reaction was not slow at all. The King of Wei's sword made a clanging sound and unleashed fourteen true dragon sword energy to meet him.
The great elder brought various changes in his palm, trying to break through Zhou Jianlai's sword moves, but he still underestimated Zhou Jianlai's sword skills. No matter how his palm changed, the sharp edge of King Wei's sword was always blocked in front, making it impossible to avoid it.
open.
"break!"
The great elder finally chose to use the power of the stars to suppress Zhou Jianlai.
The sword and palm collided together, causing Zhou Jianlai to take two big steps back, but he immediately stood still and received the palm of the great elder head-on.
The great elder was shocked.
The first time he saw Zhou Jianlai, he felt that Zhou Jianlai was not an easy person. Especially when Zhou Jianlai unsheathed his sword, he further felt the pressure on Zhou Jianlai's body. He couldn't help but look solemn, and did not dare to underestimate Zhou Jianlai, but
Only after the actual fight did he realize that he still underestimated Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jianlai's swordsmanship is superb and his sword aura is extremely domineering.
Although he was clearly the winner, the Great Elder felt like he was at a disadvantage and could be broken by the power of the stars with Zhou Jianlai's sword at any time, which made him feel frightened and oppressed.
"Although this man's cultivation level is not high, his sword intention has reached a terrifying level that can capture people's hearts. It's really amazing!" The great elder couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
But the marvelous ghost was amazed. He didn't give Zhou Jianlai a chance to slow down his strength. His right palm continued to press Zhou Jianlai with greater strength, and at the same time, his left fist suddenly blasted out.
Instead of fighting Zhou Jianlai with swordsmanship, body skills and other messy things, he just wanted to overpower Zhou Jianlai with simple and crude brute force.
As the saying goes: A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
After all, Tianhong is also a star power. Even if his cultivation level is greatly reduced, he still uses the power of stars, and he still has a fighting power that is stronger than the half-step power. He can overpower you, a little thief with only the sixth level of heaven cultivation.
Can the boat capsize in the gutter?
Zhou Jianlai did not dare to retreat, because if he stepped back, his frontal force would inevitably be released, and if the frontal force was released, he would be defeated with overwhelming force, and then he would be slapped on the ground by the great elder.
But he didn't have another hand to resist the great elder's fist attack.
It looked like he was about to be knocked away by the great elder's punch and defeated.
However, Zhou Jianlai's expression was not at all panicked. Since he dared to confront the great elder's moves head-on, he was confident of doing so.
He is not a fledgling who is new to fighting and has no fighting experience.
Countless battles on the battlefield have given him a wealth of combat experience, so how could he make the stupid mistake of making an upper move without considering the next one?
Just listen to the clang sound.
The Mountain Sword flew out from the Ten Thousand Swords Box, and the giant sword took advantage of the situation and struck at the great elder with the force of breaking through the mountain.
The great elder never expected that there was a sword hidden in the sword box on Zhou Jianlai's back, nor did he expect that Zhou Jianlai had reached the advanced level of wielding a sword with his mind.
Caught off guard, his left fist was forced to change its target and move upward to meet the Mountain Sword.
boom!
The clash of fists and swords made a sound like muffled thunder.
The great elder felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. The sword above his head and the sword in Zhou Jianlai's hand had completely different sword intentions.
One is extremely domineering, showing a sharp edge that can kill everything.
One is thick and heavy, with the fierceness of a heavy sword without an edge.
The great elder suddenly felt a little regretful, thinking that he would have known better if he had gone up with a sword. The situation would have been much better, and he might have even captured Zhou Jianlai. After all, he was good at swords.
bang bang bang
"Great Elder, do you need help?!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and the guards who had just left were attracted back by the sound of fighting. Due to the identity of the great elder, even if he knew that there was a fight in the yard, he did not dare to break in rashly, so he knocked on the door and asked anxiously, if
They will break in after the great elder gives a positive answer, or if there is no answer.
"don’t worry."
"An old friend of mine is visiting. The two of us are competing in martial arts. You go back."
The Great Elder still didn't tell the truth and just found an excuse to excuse it.
"No!" the guard responded again and left.
Because in their eyes, the Great Elder's cultivation is unfathomable, and since he says it's okay, it must be okay.
"Boy, don't be complacent!"
"I am fighting hard for the injury to relapse today, but I still want to teach you a lesson and let you know that the sky is the limit!"
The great elder frowned angrily and shouted in a low voice.
The dirty water Zhou Jianlai poured on him made it hard for him to let go. The only way to relieve his depression was to beat Zhou Jianlai.
But just when he was about to launch a more ferocious attack on Zhou Jianlai again, two figures suddenly fell in the dark night sky.
To be more precise, there are three figures, two people and one ape.
The great elder was startled, his fists shook, he jumped back, and distanced himself from Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jianlai held the sword flower in his hand, clanked twice, returned the sword to its sheath, looked at the visitor and asked with a smile: "Why are you two here?"
"My senior sister and Yoyo returned to Yancheng. Dawa and I were really bored staying in Liujiacun. We were thinking about coming to have a drink with you and Taiping. When we went to your house and didn't find you, we guessed if you were here. No.
Come to think of it, we really guessed it." Zhang Xiaozu said with a smile.
The visitors were none other than Zhang Xiaozu, Niu Dawa and Hei Yuan.
After Zhang Xiaozu answered Zhou Jianlai's question, he turned around and bowed to the elder, saying respectfully: "Junior has met senior!"
"I've met senior." Niu Dawa politely followed Zhang Xiaopou and saluted the elder.
The great elder nodded slightly in greeting, but was secretly frightened at the same time.
Although Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa looked friendly, the turbulent momentum they exuded was not friendly at all. This was a disguised warning to him.
And he was indeed shocked.
Because if these three people join forces, his feeling tells him that he can't handle it.
"Why did the fight start?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
Zhou Jianlai said: "He couldn't reason with me, and he became angry from shame."
"" When the great elder heard this, several black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead, he rolled his sleeves and snorted coldly, without saying a word.
Because he thought about it and found that Zhou Jianlai was not talking nonsense. It was indeed him who acted first out of embarrassment.
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the eldest elder and couldn't help but frown and asked: "Senior, why are you so persistent? Can't you just take a step back and make this beautiful couple happy?"
"The vision is too low, the eyes of a mouse are short-sighted." Zhou Jianlai curled his lips and said.
"Boy, what did you say?!" The great elder suddenly became furious.
Zhou Jianlai sneered and said: "You are only thinking about helping the Qin family get through this difficulty, thinking about the future of the Qin family, and thinking about bringing the Qin family back to glory, so when you see that Qin Chuo is not a talent that can be made, and the two
After the young lady turned out to be worthy of cultivation, you got into trouble and tried every means to make the second lady hold up the collapsed beam of the Qin family. Didn't you calm down and think carefully, is Qin Rulan really qualified to inherit the position of the head of the Qin family? "
"Although women are weak, there are not many examples of women inheriting family property in Dayu. Women should not be inferior to men. I believe that the second girl can do it." The elder said.
"Listen clearly, I'm asking about qualifications, not ability." Zhou Jianlai said, "The war in the southern border has calmed down, and I believe that the official rewards will soon be conveyed to all parties. With the hard work of Uncle Qin and Brother Qin, the Qin family's title is a sure thing.
thing.
What, are you going to ask the second lady to accept this reward?
There are indeed many examples of women inheriting family businesses in Dayu, but it is rare for women to be promoted to official positions. Even if they are, they are heroines who have made great contributions to the empire. Do you think the second lady is qualified to inherit this reward?
?”
"I can't." The great elder's expression turned very ugly. He already knew what Zhou Jianlai wanted to say.
