Chu Zongguang's anger was not extinguished just because of what Chu Xiu took out.
He stared at Chu Xiu and shouted angrily: "You killed someone when you were angry. Do you know what position Shen Rong has in the Shen family? If he dies, how will the Shen family deal with my Chu family?"
Treason! By doing this, you are simply doing injustice to our Chu family!"
Chu Xiu frowned secretly. His cheap father was a little too shy. Even if the Shen family was strong, he wouldn't be afraid of it like this, right?
Fortunately, Chu Xiu had already thought of a solution to this matter.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Father, don't panic. Even though he is dead, our Chu family still has other plans.
The Shen family's foundation is stronger than my Chu family's, but it's not strong enough to crush them.
The real reason that allowed the Shen family to dominate Tongzhou Prefecture was actually Shen Bai, the Shen family member who had become a member of the Canglan Sword Sect.
Canglan Sword Sect has a great reputation, but our Chu family may not be able to find a backer."
Chu Zongguang glared at Chu Xiu and said, "Canglan Sword Sect is the largest sect in Wei County, one of the seven sects and eight sects. Where can I find a backer for my Chu family?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "So what about the seven sects and eight sects? It's not the Northern and Southern Buddhist sects, and even the Northern and Southern Buddhist sects are not strong enough to dominate the entire world.
Our Chu family can’t find a supporter from the Jianghu sect, but we can find a supporter from the imperial court!
Although Wei County was called the land of Beiyan, it actually obeyed the instructions but not the propaganda, and the Beiyan court was helpless.
At this time, if our Chu family turns over to the Beiyan court, even though the Beiyan court will look down on my Chu family's strength, at least it can be considered as an initiative to submit to the martial arts forces of Beiyan, and it can set an example. I believe that the Beiyan court will not They will treat us badly.
If we have the Beiyan Imperial Court as our backer, the Canglan Sword Sect would not dare to touch us."
The elders of the Chu family looked at each other. Although Chu Xiu's plan sounded a bit exaggerated, after careful consideration, it actually made some sense.
The Beiyan court wanted Weijun for a long time, but Weijun's martial arts community was tough, and the Beiyan court didn't want to fall out with Weijun's martial arts community, so it didn't use tough measures.
But the Chu family came from the Eastern Qi Dynasty before, and they have no sense of belonging to Wei County. If they can really get close to the Northern Yan court through this matter, it will definitely be a good thing for the Chu family.
Chu Xiu was silent on the side. The idea he gave to the Chu family could not be said to be a bad idea, but it could only be said to be half good or bad.
There is indeed a high possibility of taking refuge in the Northern Yan court. As he said before, as the first Weijun force to take refuge in the Yan Kingdom, the Chu family will receive preferential treatment.
But it is also possible that the Chu family will anger the entire Weijun Wulin and be targeted, or even be torn apart by the angry Weijun Wulin.
Of course, that will all happen in the future. At that time, it doesn’t matter whether Chu Xiu is in the Chu family or not. Does it matter to him whether the Chu family will be retaliated by Weijun Wulin?
Chu Zongguang's face showed a gloomy look. He didn't see the flaw in Chu Xiu's plan. He just didn't want to cause trouble.
After a long while, Chu Zongguang snorted coldly and said: "Chu Xiu, I told you last time that if you cause trouble again, I will take away all your business and let you go to the ancestral hall to reflect. But you You are treating my words as deaf ears!
You have caused such a big thing this time. How you deal with it depends on the opinions of the Shen family. Now go to the ancestral hall and reflect! If the Chu family is targeted by the Shen family because of you, I will not spare you! "
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly showed a cold light. Chu Zongguang's performance was a little beyond his expectation. He never expected that Chu Zongguang would be so cowardly.
According to the excuse Chu Xiu gave, it was the Shen family who blackmailed the Chu family first, and then he was angry and killed. Dingtian was a little impulsive, and he told his countermeasures in public, but Chu Zongguang was still afraid of conflict with the Shen family and wanted to punish him.
"Come here, take Chu Xiu to the ancestral hall, send someone to guard it, and let me reflect on it!"
Chu Zongguang waved his hand, and the two servants came over awkwardly and looked at Chu Xiu, hoping that Chu Xiu could cooperate. After all, they were just servants and they did not dare to be rough with Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu did not have a fit on the spot, but followed the two servants away obediently.
To be honest, he made some miscalculations this time.
Chu Xiu had always been very calm, even when he suddenly wanted to kill Shen Rong. He had already thought of excuses and ways to break the situation.
It's just that the only one he miscalculated was Chu Zongguang. He really couldn't imagine what his cheap father was thinking. As the head of the family, he was so timid and fearful. God knows how the Chu family gained a foothold in Tongzhou Prefecture in the first place. .
After Chu Xiu was suppressed, the eyes of Chu Kai, the boss in the hall who had been silent until now, showed ecstasy and a little disbelief.
None of his three younger brothers have always been honest, especially recently. No matter how arrogant Chu Kai is, he can feel that his position as the heir of the Chu family is no longer stable.
As a result, within a few months, first the old Si Chu was injured and disabled, and then Chu Sheng made a big mistake and was imprisoned.
Chu Xiu, who was the biggest threat to him, is now seeking his own death. He actually killed Shen Rong, the chief steward of the Shen family, and was deprived of all his power. He was imprisoned in the ancestral hall for self-reflection. Doesn't this mean that the position of heir has not been followed by him? Robbed it?
When he thought of this, Chu Kai felt a little complacent. His three idiot brothers had tried their best to plot and plot, but in the end, they all involved themselves in the plot. In the end, the position of heir to the head of the family was still his!
Chu Zongguang waved his hands gloomily, letting everyone disperse, and said to Housekeeper Chen: "Go to the Shen family, lower your posture, and ask them how to expose this matter. My Chu family has absolutely no idea. It means conflict with the Shen family."
Butler Chen wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it and could only sigh and leave.
In the Shen family, because Shen Rong came to see Chu Xiu and only brought his confidant Wang Er, no one else knew that Shen Rong was dead. It was not until Butler Chen came to the Shen family that everyone in the Shen family knew that Shen Rong was dead. , this immediately caused an uproar in the Shen family, and someone immediately notified Shen Mo, who was in retreat.
Shen Mo is young, only in his early thirties, and has a handsome appearance. He does not look like the head of a family, but rather like a suave young man from aristocratic family.
Much like the Li family, the Shen family also hurriedly took over as the head of the family because the old head of the family died unexpectedly.
It's just that Shen Mo at that time was almost ignored by the elders of the Shen family because he had no prestige. As a result, Shen Mo killed several elders of the Shen family in a rage, and threatened on the spot that as long as the Shen family has his member of the Canglan Sword Sect, As long as the elder brother is here, it will not collapse. Otherwise, it will be the same without anyone else.
After a turmoil, Shen Mo used the heads of several elders to establish his status as the head of the family, and let everyone in Tongzhou know that although the new head of the Shen family was young, his ruthlessness and decisiveness were far greater than that of his father. .
At this time, Shen Mo was in seclusion. Since taking control of the Shen family, Shen Mo actually didn't care much about the Shen family.
A few years ago, he followed his brother Shen Bai to visit the Canglan Sword Sect. That experience refreshed Shen Mo's outlook on life and made him understand what a true martial arts sect was. In the eyes of the Canglan Sword Sect, karma is not worth mentioning at all.
From then on, Shen Mo began to practice frantically in seclusion and wanted to join the Canglan Sword Sect. Unfortunately, although he and Shen Bai were brothers, their talents were too different.
Shen Bai is at the top in both talent and understanding, while Shen Mo can only be said to be above average.
This kind of talent is enough to join the Canglan Sword Sect, especially since Shen Bai is a close disciple of the head of the Canglan Sword Sect, so there is no problem in bringing him into the Canglan Sword Sect.
But the problem is that with his talent and strength, he can only be an outer disciple after joining the Canglan Sword Sect.
The elder brother is the direct disciple of the sect leader, but his younger brother is just an ordinary outer disciple. Shen Mo cannot afford to lose this face.
So now he is spending all his time practicing hard in order to join the Canglan Sword Sect and become an inner disciple.
When he was woken up from seclusion, Shen Mo looked a little unkind, but when his servants told Shen Mo the news of Shen Rong's death, his expression suddenly darkened.
To be honest, Shen Rong is not that important in Shen Mo's heart. Although he called Shen Rong Uncle Rong when he was a child, he dared to kill even his own uncles, the elders of the Shen family and other uncles. What does it count?
He gave Shen Rong such a high status just because he couldn't trust the direct and collateral members of the Shen family.
Although Shen Rong's ability and strength are average, and he is even very greedy, at least he is loyal enough to know who gave him all the power he has. In other words, he, Shen Rong, is just Shen Mo's dog. That's it, it's not the Shen family's dog, it's just a dog that belongs to him, Shen Mo.
But beating a dog depends on the owner, let alone someone dares to kill his dog now!
