Hearing Han Wei say that there was a problem with Lin Ye's identity, Zhang Songling's face immediately showed a strange color.
To be honest, he was investigating Lin Ye's identity just as a precaution, fearing that those evil villains were behind him and not to have any malicious intentions, but he didn't expect that this investigation would actually lead to a problem.
"What's the news from Fengmanlou?"
Han Wei said: "The information from Fengmanlou is that there is no such person. There is no young innate warrior named Lin Ye in Linzhong County. In the entire Beiyan side, there is a young innate warrior named Lin Ye. But the appearance didn't match, so Feng Manlou suspected that Lin Ye used a pseudonym.
But later, Feng Manlou suddenly discovered a piece of news. A minor incident had recently occurred in Tongzhou Prefecture, Wei County.
It's probably because the Chu family, a small family in Tongzhou Prefecture, was wiped out, but the person who died was the younger brother of Shen Bai, the great disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect, the "Luoyu Sword".
The main reason is that the Canglan Sword Sect wanted Chu Xiu throughout Wei County because of this matter, and there was also a simple portrait. When I saw it, I found that he looked very similar to Lin Ye!
It's just that Chu Xiu in the wanted order only had coagulated blood, but Lin Ye was innate, and Feng Manlou didn't dare to be 100% sure that the two parties were the same person, so Feng Manlou only charged 80% of the price for this news."
Zhang Songling sneered twice and said: "Eighty percentile is enough! I didn't expect that after such an investigation, I actually found something good!"
Han Wei on the side said in surprise: "Master, do you want to sell the news that Lin Ye is Chu Xiu to the Canglan Sword Sect?
However, the head of the family, Canglan Sword Sect is a sect of Wei County, and you know the relationship between Wei County and our Beiyan. The two sides are not harmonious. Even if they knew the news, they would not dare to come in a big way. Catching people."
Zhang Songling sneered: "Who said I wanted to sell the information about Chu Xiu to the Canglan Sword Sect? In Feng Manlou's information, the real point is not that Chu Xiu is wanted by the Canglan Sword Sect, but that he is wanted by the Canglan Sword Sect. There is no force behind it, but a bereaved dog running away in a hurry!
If the Chu family was destroyed, wouldn’t Chu Xiu have all the assets and property of the Chu family? Squeezing these things out would be much more cost-effective than selling the information to the Canglan Sword Sect."
Han Wei hesitated and said: "Master, are you going to take action against Chu Xiu? Although according to the intelligence, he is just a newcomer to Xiantian, but he is wanted by the Canglan Sword Sect, so he is not a simple character."
Zhang Songling said calmly: "No matter how simple he is, he is just one person. There are so many people in our Zhang family, why can't we just have him? But it's right to be careful."
In this way, you arrange for someone to wait outside the house. If Chu Xiu is willing to obediently hand over the Chu family's belongings, then both parties will naturally be happy.
But if Chu Xiu doesn't know how to praise and insists on taking action, then let them immediately notify the Tao family and other powerful people from Shanyang Mansion after hearing the news. There is no need to tell them the details, just tell them the benefits. , let them help me contain Chu Xiu, the worst I can do is share a piece of the pie with them afterwards. "
Han Wei nodded. This is also the rule of Shanyang Mansion. There is competition among several forces, but there is also cooperation. If one person cannot eat alone, then let others eat together.
After nightfall, the auction house had sent the secret box that Chu Xiu had photographed to Zhang's house.
Zhang Baichen said from the side: "Dad, Lin Ye, no, Chu Xiu said he has inside information. Let's open it and see what's in his secret box."
Zhang Songling nodded. He was also a little curious, but just as he was about to open it to see what kind of treasure it was, his servant suddenly informed him that Chu Xiu was visiting.
A gloomy smile appeared on Zhang Songling's face, and she placed the secret box on the table.
After a while, Chu Xiu was brought in by servants of the Zhang family, but the moment he came in, Chu Xiu felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Zhang Songling's attitude towards Chu Xiu was quite polite before. Both parties were innate warriors. At least Zhang Songling did not treat Chu Xiu as a junior and had such an arrogant attitude.
As a result, when Chu Xiu came in, Zhang Songling was still sitting on the chair, not saying a word or even moving.
Zhang Baichen, who was beside him, looked at Chu Xiu with a playful look on his face, and he actually felt like a great revenge had been avenged.
There was a strange look in Chu Xiu's eyes, and he said calmly: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, Mr. Zhang, we can be considered happy to cooperate this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu saw the scarlet secret box on the table and immediately reached for it.
But at this moment, Zhang Songling took the lead and carried the secret box in his arms, which made Chu Xiu's face suddenly turn cold.
"Master Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Songling said calmly: "It's not interesting, I just want to have a chat with Mr. Lin."
"Oh? What are you talking about?" A cold look flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.
Zhang Songling sat up straight and sneered: "Of course let's talk about your identity! Lin Ye, Chu Xiu? Haha, Mr. Chu, if I didn't investigate, I really wouldn't know. It turns out that you actually have such a background.
How does it feel to be wanted by Canglan Sword Sect, one of the seven sects and eight sects?"
Hearing Zhang Songling say this, Chu Xiu frowned, but his hand was already on the red sleeve knife.
After arriving in Linzhong County, he did not hear any news from the Canglan Sword Sect. He subconsciously thought that his arrangement had not been discovered, but now it seems that there should be a flaw left in the rush.
, was seen through.
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Master Zhang is planning to go to Canglan Sword Sect to report me? But Canglan Sword Sect only wants me in Wei County, can they still send people to Beiyan to catch me? I only killed Canglan Sword Sect.
The younger brother of Zongda disciple Shen Bai is not Shen Bai himself."
Zhang Songling sneered and said: "Canglan Sword Sect cannot come to arrest you with great fanfare, but if I capture you and send you to Canglan Sword Sect, you said that as one of the seven sects and eight sects, Canglan Sword Sect, they will
How much benefit will it give me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Songling clapped his hands. Immediately, dozens of elite warriors from the Zhang family surrounded the door. Among them, there were five people in the blood coagulation realm, and the rest were also elites from the Zhang family.
A cold light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes and he said: "Master Zhang, are you planning to use force? I have sincerely wanted to cooperate with you, Master Zhang."
Zhang Songling shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to take action, I just want Mr. Chu to understand your current situation.
Canglan Sword Sect is a major sect in Wei County. If it is not necessary, I, the Zhang family, do not want to deal with Canglan Sword Sect for some petty profits. So, Mr. Chu, if you give some property to pay for your life today, I can
I will let you go, and I will even take the initiative to help you hide the news in Shanyang Mansion."
Speaking of this, Zhang Songling's eyes showed a trace of greed and said: "The Chu family is destroyed, and you are the only one alive. Most of the Chu family's property should be in your hands, right? Hand them over, the money is The things outside of you, your life, are your own."
In fact, Zhang Songling never thought about betraying the information about Chu Xiu to the Canglan Sword Sect from the beginning, and he never even thought about capturing Chu Xiu and giving it to the Canglan Sword Sect.
The reason is very simple. The Canglan Sword Sect only said that Chu Xiu was wanted, but did not say how much reward would be given to whoever presented Chu Xiu's information or directly captured Chu Xiu.
The Canglan Sword Sect is the largest sect in Wei County. For the entire martial arts force in Wei County, everyone has to give face to the Canglan Sword Sect. Therefore, Canglan Sword Sect issues a wanted order without any reward, or even Those sects will also be secretly happy because they can establish a relationship with Canglan Sword Sect.
The Zhang family is a small force in Beiyan. Even if they take the initiative to send Chu Xiu's news or Chu Xiu himself to the Canglan Sword Sect, they probably won't get anything good. It's up to Shen Bai himself to express his gratitude.
Moreover, if the Zhang family goes to talk to the lion of the Canglan Sword Sect without knowing what they are doing, they will die miserably.
So after learning Chu Xiu's true identity, Zhang Songling had already made up his mind. He was going to squeeze out all the Chu family's property and treasures from Chu Xiu!
The Chu family was wiped out, and Chu Xiu was the only one alive. All the property, cultivation resources and other treasures of the Chu family must be in Chu Xiu. Together, these things will definitely be a big income for the current Zhang family. .
It's just that Zhang Songling didn't know that Chu Xiu was seriously injured at that time and lost an arm. Moreover, because Shen Mo also died in the Chu family, how could he dare to stay in the Chu family for a long time?
Chu Xiu didn't even have time to look for the Chu family's financial resources. Only the money he had on him was found from Chu Zongguang's house.
Chu Xiu's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "Master Zhang has such a huge appetite! He is not afraid of pushing himself too hard. His ability to rob homes is better than that of bandits."
Zhang Songling took out an ancient bronze sword with pine patterns. This was a weapon produced in the land of Bashu. The four-turn long sword forged by a swordsmith in Bashu was given to him by his eldest son Zhang Baitao as a gift. A fiftieth birthday gift.
Zhang Songling pointed his sword at Chu Xiu and said calmly: "A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade. If you are an innate warrior with a background, I, the Zhang family, would not dare to offend you.
And if you are an ordinary casual cultivator and have nothing good in you, my Zhang family won't bother to offend you, and there will be no benefit in beating you to death.
But you, Chu Xiu, are now extremely rich, and you are still just a bereaved dog who is wanted by the Canglan Sword Sect. If you don’t, who will you touch?”
