Lin Ze seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Huang Banban: "I wonder what is going on with that title recently. Could you please help Eunuch Huang pay attention and find out more about it?"
Huang Banban agreed wholeheartedly. He was also annoyed that Xiang Ji was so impudent that day, so he didn't mind Lin Ze trying to plot against him.
Lin Ze finally confessed solemnly: "Please use all your connections, Eunuch Huang, to collect death row prisoners who have not yet been executed. The more the better, I will be of great use."
Huang Banban couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Lin Ze, why do you want death row prisoners? Are they used to train dead soldiers?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "That's not true. Eunuch Huang can use the young master's resources to handle this matter. I can only say that it will be beneficial to the young master..."
Huang Banban nodded in agreement. Lin Ze always had his own plans, so he didn't ask in detail. He would naturally know when the current affairs were settled.
The next morning, Huang Banban sent someone over and handed Lin Ze a detailed secret report: Xiang Ji had broken through to the middle grade last month. It was said that the quality of the condensed Dantian was excellent. Although its size was unknown, it was expected to break through.
, is also unusual.
Xiang Ji is currently settling in a house bought by the Xiang family in Xicheng. However, for some reason, he got in touch with Fusu. If Lin Ze wants to deal with him, he must think more carefully and deal with it carefully.
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously. Fusu was now thousands of miles away. Even if Xiang Ji had some connections, could he still compare to him?
Lin Ze looked at the four elders of Fang Xiandao who were following him, and said to himself: "These days are different from the past, Xiang Ji, you'd better be good and don't force me to kill you."
After making some preparations, Lin Ze took the fourth elder Fang Xiandao and Jiang Yuesheng in a carriage and drove straight to Xiang Mansion in the West City.
West City is mostly home to wealthy people. As you can see along the way, although the size of the courtyards is far less than that of the rich and powerful mansions in East City, they are more exquisitely built and have a unique flavor.
Lin Ze and others came to the door of the Xiang Mansion that Huang Banban was looking for, and said to Jiang Yuesheng, "Call the door."
Jiang Yuesheng... looked at this group of people and saw who, besides Lin Ze, had the lowest martial arts skills. Yes, Di Xue Ruyan was slightly better than him. Besides, he couldn't let a woman call the door.
Jiang Yuesheng walked directly to the door: "The head of the Lin family is visiting the master of your house, please go and report it."
The disciple had already seen Lin Ze and his party. They were escorted by four old men, a maid, and a male servant. With such a level, they could tell at a glance which young master they were from a small aristocratic family. You still want to meet the head of the family?
My Xiang family was once a great noble of Chu, a descendant of a great master. What kind of background is this? Is it something that a small family like you can just see?
Therefore, the disciple simply ignored Jiang Yuesheng. Jiang Yuesheng was stunned on the spot, thinking that the disciple didn't hear it, so he said it again.
Na Menzi coughed twice, stretched out his right hand, rubbed his thumb and middle finger, and looked at Jiang Yuesheng with a smile on his face.
Jiang Yuesheng was stunned on the spot. Lin Ze could see clearly from the sidelines. This heir to the palace has good martial arts talent and good martial arts skills. However, he seems to be a bit of a fool without any experience in the world. I want you to report his background to Ganquan Palace.
, which name of Guoshifu is not useful, what the hell is Linfu?
People thought he wanted a golden ticket to reward him, so they informed him, but Jiang Yuesheng didn't even react.
Sure enough, when the disciple saw that Jiang Yuesheng didn't move, his face turned serious: "My master is not free, please come back another day."
No matter how stupid Jiang Yuesheng was, he could tell that he was being deceived. Just as he was about to continue talking, Lin Ze couldn't stand it anymore and said to Qingfeng, who was already gearing up, "Elder, break down the door."
Qingfeng was not polite, strode up, pushed Jiang Yuesheng away, and the door couldn't help but jump: "You, what do you want to do?"
Then, under the horrified look in Menzi's eyes, he punched down and with a bang, the door of Xiang Mansion flew apart in pieces.
Only then did Menzi come back to his senses and shouted: "Come here, someone is making trouble in the Xiang Mansion."
There was a response from the house quickly, and someone roared: "Who dares to act so arrogant in our Xiang family?" As he spoke, a majestic-looking middle-aged man angrily came to the door of Xiang's house with a group of guards. Seeing the imposing manner of the four elders of Fang Xiandao,
Majesty couldn't help but be startled, and suppressed his anger and said: "Who are you? Why do you come to my Xiang family to cause trouble?"
Lin Ze took a step forward and asked, "Who are you? Can you be the head of the Xiang family?"
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Zecai as the leader of this group of people. He probably thought that this dude from nowhere was causing trouble, and said with disgust: "The head of the Xiang family, Xiang Liang, is also the cousin of Young Master Fusu of the Great Qin Dynasty. If you don't give me a message today,
Tell me, no matter who you are, our Xiang family will fight with you until death."
Lin Ze was happy, Xiang Liang? Now he has found the rightful owner, but using Fusu to suppress me is a bit funny.
I saw Lin Ze saying seriously: "Lin Ze, the successor of Fang Xiandao, and Xu Fu, the family teacher, are here especially to collect debts."
Xiang Liang's face changed slightly, Fang Xiandao, the Imperial Master's Office, is a recognized behemoth. It is obvious that they came here deliberately to cause trouble. Even if they move out of Fusu, I am afraid they will not be kind, but if you want to be my Xiang family,
I'm afraid it won't work if I try to pinch a soft persimmon.
So he said righteously, "Mr., have you made a mistake? My Xiang family never owes anything to others, but I don't know what kind of debt you are asking for?"
Lin Ze sneered: "Xiang Ji is from the Xiang family, right?"
Xiang Liang thought to himself: Could it be that Ji'er caused trouble outside? No, he has been practicing martial arts diligently during this period before he broke through to the middle level. He rarely went out, how could he provoke such a powerful enemy? Sure enough, he was deliberately looking for trouble.
I was trying to find an excuse to say that Xiang Ji was not here.
At this time, Xiang Ji came out of the house. When he saw Lin Ze, his face changed and he said angrily: "Lin Ze, you are such a despicable person, and you dare to come to my door to beat me."
After saying that, he rushed up directly and Qingfeng shouted coldly: "You are outrageous," and a powerful burst of true energy burst out from the body and hit Xiang Ji's chest directly.
Xiang Liang saw Qingfeng coming with a fierce force and was afraid that his nephew would suffer. He also hit Qingfeng with the same palm. Now Lieyang couldn't sit still: "Do you want to bully the minority with more people?"
After saying that they had joined the fighting circle, Mingyue and Mingyue elders grabbed Lin Ze and stepped back more than a hundred meters to prevent Lin Ze from being injured.
Lin Ze's face was gloomy and he said loudly: "Qingfeng, Elder Lieyang, don't be wary. Let's go back and write to Your Majesty. The Xiang family maintains its own force and dares to ignore His Majesty's will. The entire clan should be killed. Why should we fight with the dead anymore."
Xiang Liang's face changed when he heard this. The Xiang family couldn't afford to take off the big hat. He fought hard with the two elders. His blood started to rise. He led Xiang Yu back and shouted, "Wait a minute."
"
Qingfeng Lieyang also gave up and retreated to Lin Ze, snorting coldly: "Is the Xiang family determined to go against our immortal way?"
Although Xiang Liang was full of grievances and anger, he still said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are serious. My nephew is not sensible. I, the Xiang family, would like to clear up the misunderstanding. I also ask the young master of your sect to explain clearly. Has there ever been a time when the Xiang family refused to resist an order?"
Follow?"
Lin Ze did not reply to him, but sneered at Xiang Ji: "Xiang Ji, you must have forgotten the bet we made that day in Xianyang Palace. You lost two drops to me in front of His Majesty.
Jingxue, now that you have advanced to the fourth level, do you think you are confident enough to dare to default on your debt?"
"But you have to think clearly. It's easy to refuse my account. Your Majesty has witnessed the bet. If you want to refuse your account, you must at least ask His Majesty before doing so."
When Xiang Liang heard what Lin Ze said, it didn't seem to be groundless, so he asked Xiang Ji, "Ji'er, is this really happening?"
Xiang Ji said angrily: "He won through conspiracy and tricks, and he also stole my sister Yurou."
When Xiang Liang heard about Yu Rou, he suddenly realized that she was from Hu Hai. If he had known, he would not mention Fusu.
Lin Ze sneered: "His Majesty was in charge of the gambling that day. Xiang Ji, you are so brave. Are you slandering His Majesty's unfair treatment?"
Xiang Liang became anxious and said quickly: "I have absolutely no intention of doing so. Our Xiang family is loyal to His Majesty and we dare not be disrespectful in the slightest."
"Uncle," Xiang Ji wanted to say more.
Xiang Liang glared: "Shut up, Ji'er, I will handle this matter myself."
Then he saluted Lin Ze and said softly: "This matter is indeed my nephew's fault. I wonder how you want to deal with it? Our Xiang family is willing to sincerely settle this matter."
Lin Ze sighed inwardly: Why don't you just go down, so that you can kill the Xiang family naturally.
Lin Ze is not a merciful person, but when Xiang Liang was fighting Qingfeng, Lin Ze clearly saw the two people behind Xiang Liang with similar auras to them. He thought that if the Xiang family was too weak, he would come up with an excuse.
It was destroyed easily.
There are three sixth-grade people, and I don’t know if there are any other strong men in the house. Just four sixth-grade people and two fifth-grade people may not be able to destroy them. Moreover, these six people will not go to fight just because they give an order.
The Xiang family is desperate, so let's go down the steps.
Lin Ze changed his smile: "The head of the Xiang family is sensible, unlike some dandy boys." After saying this, Xiang Ji immediately glared at Lin Ze, and Lin Ze glared back unceremoniously.
Lin Ze didn't care what Xiang Liang thought. Since he decided to let the Xiang family go, he stopped making trouble and said directly: "First of all, I want two drops of Xiang Ji's blood. Don't make any excuses. This bet is
It was established by His Majesty as a witness. If the Xiang family does not want the whole family to be destroyed, just give it to me honestly."
"Second, today, Xiang Ji attacked me indiscriminately, which frightened me. I want one hundred thousand gold and twenty pieces of earthly treasures as compensation. Also, don't bargain. Our Immortal Dao successor will definitely pay more than this price."
"Third, everything was caused by Xiang Ji. I want him to apologize to me."
"If the Xiang family agrees to these three terms, the matter will be cancelled. Our Immortal Way will never cause trouble to the Xiang family again. If the Xiang family does not agree, then I will immediately write to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to punish the Xiang family for the crime of disrespect."
Before Xiang Liang could speak, Xiang Ji had already spoken: "Lin Ze, you dream, our Xiang family will never give in."
Lin Ze ignored Xiang Ji at all, but stared at Xiang Liang, waiting for his answer.
Xiang Liang's face didn't look good, not because of Lin Ze, but because Xiang Ji was too ignorant.
Nowadays, this is the world of Great Qin, but it can no longer be like in the days of Great Chu. My father was the general of Shangzhu Kingdom, a strong master, and he did not need to bow to anyone.
Although the Xiang family has some strength, it has not been able to anger the Emperor of Qin, Fang Xiandao and the young master Hu Hai at the same time. As a direct descendant of a martial arts family and the heir of the Xiang family, not only did he provoke powerful enemies and get angry, but he is also so ignorant of current affairs, but
It's somewhat unqualified.
A flash of pain flashed across Xiang Liang's face, and he said, "What the young master said is reasonable. Our Xiang family agrees to all three of these." After saying that, he asked people to prepare gold tickets and treasures. At the same time, he looked at Xiang Yu, who looked dissatisfied.
, stood still.
Lin Ze didn't push him. As the head of the Xiang family, since Xiang Liang agreed, he didn't mind that Xiang Ji would rather die than obey and fall out with the Xiang family.
In the end, Xiang Liang couldn't hold back his anger and said sternly: "Ji'er, do you really want the entire Xiang family to die because of your willfulness?"
Only then did Xiang Ji's face change, and his heart was shaken. Seeing his uncle, who had pampered him since he was a child, now sadly urging him to bow his head, he couldn't vent his sorrow, anger and grievance, and he felt extremely sad.
In the end, Xiang Ji lowered his head and cut his chest with a knife, and two drops of blood were forced out.
Lin Ze threw a jade bottle over and reminded: "It's ready. I won't recognize it if it falls on the ground." Xiang Ji glared at him for a while, but he still installed it as he was told and gave it to Lin Ze. But after the essence and blood left the body,
, Xiang Ji felt as if he had lost something important.
