Chapter 854

Li Qiufeng was hiding outside the house. Hearing what Huang Chong said, he couldn't help but feel horrified. He had heard from Yin Baotou and others before that Huang Chong was an upright and honest official and was highly respected by the people of Xiuwu County. So the officials thought several times

Huang Chong was promoted to a higher position, but was blocked by the common people. But from what Huang Chong said just now, it seems that he had no intention of leaving Xiuwu County. It's just that for some unknown reason, he gave up being a high-ranking official and still stayed in Xiuwu.

In the county seat, Li Qiufeng felt that everything he saw and heard tonight was strange, and he became more and more alarmed and suspicious.

But he heard Ji Dingzhong say word by word: "Old Huang, are you dissatisfied with us asking you to stay in Xiuwu County?"

Huang Chong sneered and said: "What's the use of being dissatisfied? Since you brothers can condescend to be the masters of Luoyang Magistrate's Yamen and Xiuwu County Yamen, what else can we say? Even if we are asked to be cows and horses, we have no choice but to

admit!"

He just finished speaking, but Zhang Baixing snorted and said: "Old Huang, you finally said what was in your heart! It seems that my eldest brother was right. For more than ten years, you have been thinking about it day and night, but you just don't want to do it anymore.

Listen to my eldest brother's order and no longer submit to Xiuwu County. But have you ever thought that if it hadn't been for my eldest brother's painstaking planning over the years, would we have been able to wipe out the evil descendants of the Xu family in one fell swoop and relieve the danger of our five families? At present, it is very difficult

The enemy has been eliminated, but you stirred up trouble and killed so many people, so what do you say?!"

Huang Chong sneered and said: "Okay, okay, you brothers have indeed suspected me for a long time. In this case, you will kill me and give me to Nephew Cai Shi, Nephew Hu Shi, and Nephew Yang Shi.

Nephew, let’s take revenge!”

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more frightened he became. He secretly wanted to hear the meaning behind Huang Chong's words. Ji Dingzhong and Zhang Baixing were actually brothers. Moreover, Hu Kun, Huang Chong, Ji Dingzhong, Zhang Baixing and others belonged to five families, and one of these five families

Ji Dingzhong, a big enemy named Xu, had been planning for a long time and finally eliminated the Xu family. However, Huang Chong was unwilling to be driven by Ji Dingzhong, so he secretly killed the sons of the four families of Cai, Hu, Yang, and Shi. But among these people

What grudges and entanglements there are between them, even though Li Qiufeng is very thoughtful, he can't guess at all.

At this moment, another person's voice came from the room. This person said in a deep voice: "The right and wrong are not clear right now, so what's the use of you arguing? The most important thing is to find out who is

The murderer, otherwise if there is internal strife, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of me, and that will be terrible."

Li Qiufeng heard that the person talking was Han Qusi, the magistrate of Luoyang, and thought to himself that this man named Han was quite smart and not as aggressive as Zhang Baixing and Ji Dingzhong.

Hu Kun sneered and said: "The murderer? The murderer has been found out! It is Mr. Huang Chonghuang who is sitting in front of us, his face is still calm and his heart is not beating!"

Huang Chong said in a deep voice: "Catch a thief and get the stolen goods, and catch a traitor and get the pair. You say I am the murderer, show me the evidence!"

Hu Kun shouted: "Hand over that bitch of yours, and we will naturally find evidence!"

When Huang Chong heard that he was insulting his beloved daughter, he was furious and said sternly: "Zhao, I thought you lost your only son and behaved erratically when you were sad, so you tolerated it again and again. But don't say anything to your face.

Shameless! Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you!"

Li Qiufeng secretly thought that although Mr. Huang was harsh to Huang Xu, he treated her very well. At this moment, hearing Hu Kun insult Huang Xu, he was so angry that he even said Hu Kun's last name wrong.

Han Qusi said: "What are you two doing? Why did you even say your original last name? Aren't you afraid that the matter will be leaked?"

When Li Qiufeng heard this, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself that Huang Chong did not say Hu Kun's last name wrong in a hurry, but because Hu Kun's original surname was Zhao. These people had mentioned Nie before.

Among the five families, Lu, Zhao, Du and Hua, I only guessed that the Hua family was related to the Hua family in Beijing, but had no clue about the other four families. At this time, after listening to Huang Chong and Han Qusi, they knew that Hu Kun's original surname was

Zhao. So who are the other four?

Hu Kun said loudly: "The Xu family has been wiped out, so we don't have to worry anymore. But now that the enemy is gone, civil strife has started again. I'm afraid that it will bring trouble to Xiao Qiang. Someone wants to get rid of us all for his own selfish interests. He just wants to get rid of us all."

You can sit back and relax, and from now on you will be a high-ranking official and receive a generous salary."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then said sadly: "Brother Du, do you think so?"

Li Qiufeng listened attentively and wanted to know who the "Brother Du" Hu Kun mentioned was.

The room fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time. The last voice came from Ji Dingzhong: "Old Hu, you don't have to be so angry. There is really no clue about the murder of Hu Shi's nephew, and it can't be said that it was Lao Huang.

Although the Xu family was wiped out by us in one fell swoop, we can't put our swords and guns into storage at the moment and let our horses go to Nanshan. We must be on guard against fish that slip through the net and retaliate secretly. Don't forget, during the reign of Emperor Zhizheng of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, our ancestors also

He once found the hiding place of the Xu family in Hejian Mansion and killed more than a hundred members of the Xu family. I thought that the Xu family would be overthrown, but I didn't expect that the third child in his family had an illegitimate child outside. Twenty years later, this man secretly started to kill the Xu family.

They killed the patriarchs of our five families and almost destroyed our five families. If my ancestors of the Nie family hadn't turned the tide, how could we still be alive in the world?"

He finished his words, but heard Zhang Baixing say: "My eldest brother is right. Back then, my ancestor of the Nie family destroyed the Xu family's conspiracy, which allowed our five families to continue. Today, my eldest brother has made a clever plan to hide in Haizhou.

The Xu family found out, and with the help of pirates, they wiped out the Xu family in one fell swoop. Over the past hundreds of years, our five families have respected me, the Nie family, because it was me, Nie, who was the one who faced life and death situations several times.

The family is like the backbone, turning the tide. What happened today, you guys didn't follow my eldest brother's idea and killed each other, have you forgotten what happened to the Hua family?!"

After Zhang Baixing finished speaking, no one in the room answered. After a while, Zhang Baixing said: "Since you entered this room, you have made a lot of noise, but no one listened to what my elder brother said. Now you know you are wrong

Is that all?"

But Huang Chong sneered and said, "What's wrong with me? Do I allow others to frame me and can't even say a word of explanation?!"

Zhang Baixing said angrily: "Old Huang, I have been with you in the past few years, and I have seen you depressed all day long, and quite dissatisfied with my elder brother. You think you are from a good background in Kejia, and you only want to become a high official in the capital.

Do you resent my elder brother for letting you stay in Xiuwu County and become a small county magistrate?"

Huang Chong said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the important things of our five families, you brothers are not willing to deign to be the junior master of the county. You want me to be the county magistrate. That is flattering me. How can I have any dissatisfaction? You are by my side."

For seven or eight years, you were just afraid that I would ruin your brothers' affairs, so you kept a close eye on me. But if you think that I am worried every day, it is because I am trapped in Xiuwu County and cannot be a bigger official.

I took it too lightly. I had no interest in officialdom for a long time, and just wanted to take Xuer to find a quiet place to live in seclusion. I have been really tired and bored these years. Now that the Xu family no longer exists,

I don’t have to stay in Xiuwu County any longer. Please do me a favor, brother, and allow me to take Xu’er to retreat into the mountains. This can be considered a reward for my hard work in Xiuwu County for more than ten years.”

He just finished speaking, but Zhang Baixing said: "This is not possible. Although the Xu family is destroyed now, Hu Shi's nephew, Cai Shi's nephew, Shi Shi's nephew, and Yang Shi's nephew have been killed one after another. Before the matter is found out, we still have to go our separate ways.

Do your duty, find the murderer, and avenge the four nephews. And we must confirm that no fish in the Xu family have slipped through the net, so that we can rest easy. If you want to hide now, I'm afraid there are some things that you can't explain clearly!

"

Hu Kun echoed on the side: "Master Zhang is right. No one can leave Xiuwu County until the murderer is found out!"

Huang Chong laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay, you are joining forces to take my life. The gold and silver jewelry in Fengmen Village can indeed kill people. Over the past few hundred years, for

Three to four thousand people from the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families have died due to these gold and silver jewels. In addition to those who died violently from the Xu family, I am afraid that the number of people killed by these gold and silver jewels will not be less than 5,000. Now finally

It's our Du family's turn. You don't have to make excuses anymore, just cut me into pieces as soon as possible!"
