Chu Xiu observed the three weirdos through the window, but the three people seemed to have noticed Chu Xiu's gaze and glanced at them. The gleam in their eyes even made Chu Xiu's eyes sting.
Chu Xiu quickly looked away and pretended to look at the scenery on the street. The three people did not continue to pay attention to Chu Xiu. Instead, they walked directly into the inn and asked the shopkeeper to prepare meals for them and bring them to the room.
After staying for a while, Chu Xiu whispered to Ma Kuo: "Send a few brothers to stay in the inn for a long time and pay attention to their movements, but don't get too close."
Ma Kuo nodded, and Chu Xiu left temporarily.
Regardless of whether these people are here for the Chu family or not, Chu Xiu has no intention of contacting them for the time being.
Due to his limited strength, if the other party is really a master of the fifth level of Qi Control, if Chu Xiu goes to contact them now and has any scheming intentions, he will definitely be seeking death.
At this time in the Shen family, Shen Rong, the chief butler of the Shen family, also felt very aggrieved.
Before, he was happily waiting to receive half of the Li family's property. Unexpectedly, after the incident was over, the Li family was actually destroyed by Chu Xiu!
The family property he received was gone, which made Shen Rong curse the Li family's trash in his heart. So many people couldn't solve one Chu Xiu.
To be honest, if the Li family hadn't come to him to talk about this matter before, even if Shen Rong knew that Chu Xiu had destroyed the Li family, he would only be surprised by Chu Xiu's strength and the trash of the Li family. It’s just a degree.
But now the Li family has promised to give him half of the family fortune, but now it's all gone. This makes Shen Rong feel as if all the fat in his mouth has been taken away.
Therefore, during this period of time, Shen Rong's temper has been very bad, making the servants who serve him tremble with fear.
Everyone knows that in the Shen family, this man is more difficult to serve than the head of the family.
At this time, one of Shen Rong's confidants carefully brought a cup of ginseng tea. Shen Rong took it and took a sip. He immediately spurted it out and cursed: "Have you ever been careful? Such a hot tea is served. I want to scald it." Kill me!"
The servant hurriedly said: "Please calm down, sir. I'll go get another drink now."
Shen Rong threw the teacup aside and snorted coldly: "Okay, don't waste any effort. Grandma's fault. It's all because of Chu Xiu that everything I do lately has been bad! I don't know whether he left or not. What kind of shit/luck could actually wipe out the Li family."
When the servant heard this, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Uncle Rong, speaking of Chu Xiu being able to destroy the Li family, I think it's normal for me."
Shen Rong sneered and said: "What do you know, kid? How can you speculate on the war between the two families? You can just brag about these things to those servants, and you still want to show off in front of me?"
The servant smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course I don't dare to show off in front of Uncle Rong, but the strength of Chu Xiu's gang of thieves is really strong. Most of the servants of the Li family have never even killed anyone. But it’s normal.”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Rong was immediately shocked. He quickly said: "Those people under Chu Xiu are bandits? How can you be sure?"
The servant smiled awkwardly and said: "Because I was really poor and couldn't afford to eat, so I also worked as a bandit in Nanshang Mang Mountain for a period of time. However, you know how courageous I am, Uncle Rong, so I just dared to Holding a knife and shouting from behind, he really has never killed anyone.
The bandit boss I followed was called Lian Laosan. He was also a guy with little ability. He once took other people's money to rob and kill Chu Xiu, but was killed by Chu Xiu and another wave of bandits. The leader of that wave of bandits was named Lian Laosan. Ma Kuo.
If the villain hadn't run so fast, he would have been killed by them.
Fortunately, they killed the short-lived Lian Laosan, so I can join the Shen family and be favored by you, Uncle Rong.
Some time ago, when I was on the street, I saw Chu Xiu and Ma Kuo walking on the street. Later, I paid special attention to it. Almost all of Chu Xiu's men were the same group of bandits who followed Ma Kuo."
When Shen Rong heard this, a strange color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He is a mediocre man and has mediocre abilities, but after being the butler of the Shen family for so many years, Shen Rong still has a bit of scheming.
When this servant mentioned Ma Kuo, Shen Rong immediately thought of many things.
The bandits from Nanshang Mang Mountain defected to Chu Xiu. As a result, Chu Xiu reached an agreement with the bandits from Bei Shang Mang Mountain for his first business trip, and took the caravan from Shang Mang Mountain without incident. How could such a coincidence happen?
Everyone knows that the North and South Shangmang Mountains are connected together, and Chu Xiu's men are bandits from the South Shangmang Mountains, so he may also have a deep relationship with the bandits from the North Shangmang Mountains.
Later, Shen Rong also heard about the fact that Chu Xiu's caravan was robbed by his younger brother Chu Shang. It was fine when he left Shangmang Mountain, but something happened as soon as his brother left. Although on the surface it was Chu Shang himself. Death, but upon careful consideration, there are quite a few doubts about it.
Thinking of this, Shen Rong suddenly showed an unpredictable smile. He seemed to already know what happened to Chu Xiu!
Taking out the agreement Li Cheng wrote to him before, Shen Rong murmured: "Fortunately, I didn't tear it up then. It's useful now."
Turning around, Shen Rong smiled and scolded the servant: "Why didn't you, kid, say something like this earlier?"
The servant smiled awkwardly and said: "Being a bandit is not a glorious thing after all. At that time, I hadn't been noticed by you, Uncle Rong, so of course I didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of other people."
Shen Rong laughed and said: "You have accomplished a great feat this time! Come, follow me to see Chu Xiu. The Li family promised to give me half of the family property. This time I have to take it from Chu Xiu's hands." Only two-thirds of it comes out!"
At this time, Chu Xiu was still practicing swordsmanship in his house. The sudden appearance of the three weirdos gave Chu Xiu a sense of crisis. He was ready to observe whether the purpose of these three people was good or evil.
However, regardless of good or evil, one's own strength is the most important at all times. For Chu Xiu, who is not strong enough yet, everything must be focused on improving his strength.
At this moment, Gao Bei suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying in a low voice: "Master, Shen Rong from the Shen family is here to visit."
Chu Xiu stopped the knife, took a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said in surprise: "Shen Rong? Who is that?"
Gao Bei reacted. Based on Chu Xiu's previous status, it seemed that he did not know this person. Gao Bei quickly said: "Shen Rong is the chief steward of the Shen family. Although he is very weak and has average abilities, because Shen Bai, who has now become a member of the Canglan Sword Sect, and Shen Mo, the current head of the Shen family, have both been taken care of by him since childhood. Therefore, Shen Rong has a very high status in the Shen family. Even the head of the Shen family must be polite when meeting him. A lot of it.”
"Then why did he come to me?" Chu Xiu asked doubtfully.
Gao Bei shook his head: "The younger one doesn't know. He only brought one servant over and asked by name that he wanted to see you, young master."
Chu Xiu walked out with some doubts. Gao Bei arranged him in a private room in the restaurant. After pushing the door and entering, Chu Xiu showed a natural smile and said, "Steward Shen is a distinguished guest. I don't know that Steward Shen is a distinguished guest." Come to me, do you have any advice?"
Facing Chu Xiu, Shen Rong had an arrogant attitude. He didn't even stand up at all. He just glanced at Gao Bei behind Chu Xiu and said, "What I want to tell you is a bit critical and should not fall into the hands of others." In the ears.”
Chu Xiu frowned slightly, but still let Gao Bei go down.
After Gao Bei left, Shen Rong took out a piece of paper, handed it to Chu Xiu, and said calmly: "Let's take a look."
Chu Xiu took it and saw that it was an agreement written by Li Cheng. After he killed himself, Shen Rong would protect his Li family from revenge by the Chu family, and the Li family would give half of their family property to Shen Rong. Consider it as reward.
In other words, the old man in front of him can be said to be the conspirator of the Li family to kill him, although he failed in the end.
Now that everyone in the Li family is dead, as long as Shen Rong doesn't take it out, no one will know about it.
As a result, Shen Rong now shows this thing to himself openly. What does this mean? Is it humiliating himself?
With a livid face, Chu Xiu slapped the piece of paper on the table and said coldly: "Butler Shen, what do you mean?"
Shen Rong said calmly: "What I mean is very simple. The Li family promised to give me half of the family property, but in the end something happened. You didn't die. Instead, you killed everyone in the Li family and you annexed it." to the Li family.
In this way, I didn’t get what the Li family promised me, so now it’s up to you, Chu Xiu, to give me these things, but it’s not half, but two-thirds!”
Chu Xiu was so angry that he laughed and said: "Steward Shen, are you an old fool? You wanted to help the Li family kill me, but you didn't succeed. Instead, the lion opened its mouth to ask for my things. Why?"
Shen Rong sneered and said: "Why? Just because I know that you, Chu Xiu, colluded with the bandits in Shangmang Mountain in the north and south, robbed and killed passing caravans, and even robbed and killed your own caravan of the Chu family, and killed your relatives." younger brother!"
