"How long has this happened?" Jiang Zhou lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked.
"The earliest ones can be traced back to last month, but the families of the missing children did not pay too much attention at that time, so they did not continue to report it. It was not until the disappearances became more and more frequent that the families of the missing children felt something was wrong.
So far, more than 30 side branch disciples have disappeared!" Jiang Jiong answered Jiang Zhou's questions steadily.
"There are already more than thirty people?" Hearing Jiang Jiong's answer, Jiang Zhou frowned even more tightly and took a deep breath. So many disciples disappeared suddenly. This was definitely not an ordinary disappearance! Jiang Zhou immediately
Zhou just slapped the desk, stood up and shouted: "Investigate this matter thoroughly immediately! I will get the results within three days!"
Nowadays, Jiang Zhou has adapted to his status as the cave master, and his words and deeds also reveal the aura of a superior. After hearing Jiang Zhou's unquestionable order, Jiang Jiong immediately bowed and drank.
Say: "I understand! Cave Master, please rest assured!"
The disappearance of the disciples from the side branch somewhat slowed down Jiang Zhou's good mood. After a moment of silence, Jiang Zhou was about to say something when suddenly a burst of noise came from outside, interrupting Jiang Zhou's speech.
.
Jiang Zhou frowned and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Who is making a noise outside?"
Jiang Zhou can now be said to be the Lord of the Seven Caves. He is discussing things in the palace, so how can he allow anyone to make noise outside? When Jiang Zhou shouted, Jiang Langxiu took the initiative to go out and shouted: "Who is it? Make a noise here! Don't do it."
He’s dead! Believe it or not, eh!”
Jiang Langxiu's voice had just shouted a few words, but he suddenly stopped. Jiang Zhou was wondering when he heard a thud and a figure flew in from outside, but it was flying upside down. It was not Jiang
Who else could Lang Xiu be?
Jiang Langxiu is now regarded as Jiang Zhou's confidant. How could anyone dare to attack Jiang Langxiu in this seven-hole mansion? Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhou and others were also angry, and Jiang Cheng immediately started to protest.
, he rushed out and shouted loudly: "Who is so arrogant! How dare you act so arrogantly here! Come here! Give me, uh!"
It was almost exactly the same as Jiang Langxiu before. The harsh words stopped midway. At the next moment, Jiang Cheng did not fly back like Jiang Langxiu, but just walked backwards back to the study.
However, it was unspeakably embarrassing to look like that.
"Huh!" A voice shouted, and then he saw a slim figure walking into the study. When he saw this figure, Jiang Zhou, who had an angry look on his face just now, immediately twitched his cheeks and smiled mischievously.
He smiled and said: "Uh! It turns out, it's Miss Luo! I didn't know it was Miss Luo who came here, but I didn't expect to be greeted from afar! Sometimes I was greeted from afar!"
If it were anyone else who was so impudent in Qidong Mansion, Jiang Zhou would have had him taken down long ago! But the woman in front of him was none other than Luo Jiao'er, the young lady of the Luo family in the Imperial City! Don't talk about her
She had been engaged to Jiang Xiaogong before, and just because she was Jiang Zhou's aunt, no one in the seven holes dared to make a move on her!
Although Luo Jiaoer is Jiang Zhou's aunt, Jiang Zhou still can't forget what the Luo family did to Jiang Zhou's parents, so he still refuses to change his name to aunt.
But now Luo Jiao'er obviously has no mood to care about Jiang Zhou's title. Luo Jiao'er's face is haggard now, her hair is disheveled, her eyes are red and swollen, and she has completely lost her past charming appearance.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but be stunned by the appearance at this moment, and almost didn't dare to recognize him.
After Luo Jiaoer walked into the study, her eyes swept around the study and finally landed on Jiang Zhou. She immediately strode to Jiang Zhou and shouted at Jiang Zhou: "Jiang Zhou! I'm here!"
Let me ask you, Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, has he really ascended?"
Luo Jiaoer directly asked about Jiang Xiaogong, and Jiang Zhou couldn't help but be startled. Then he looked sad and nodded and said: "That's right! Uncle Ninth has indeed ascended in Southern Xinjiang! I saw this with my own eyes.
What you see!”
"Ah!" Hearing Jiang Zhou's answer, Luo Jiaoer exclaimed again. Her face, which was already a little ugly, turned pale in an instant. She staggered and backed away. Her red and swollen eyes were gradually filled with blood.
With tears in her eyes, she opened her red lips in regret: "He, he's still gone, he's still gone! He really just left like this..."
Seeing Luo Jiaoer's appearance, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but feel nervous. Although the Luo family's behavior was disgusting, Jiang Zhou could also see that Luo Jiaoer was indeed passionately devoted to Jiang Xiaogong.
"Little sister! Little sister!" At this moment, another shout came in from outside, and then, a person was seen hurriedly breaking into the study. It was Luo Haitang, the young master of the Luo family.
Luo Haitang looked like he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly rushed in. When he saw Luo Jiaoer in the study, his face immediately showed joy. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Jiaoer, shouting
: "Little sister! You, why did you come here! Hurry! Come back with me!"
If it were the former unruly and willful Miss Luo, how could she be willing to obey others and cause troubles long ago. But at this moment, Luo Jiaoer had already become lost and just kept talking about something, not caring at all.
Knowing how to resist, several maids behind Luo Haitang stepped forward and helped Luo Jiaoer down.
Seeing that Luo Jiao'er was finally taken back, Luo Haitang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. When he turned around and saw that Jiang Zhou's study was already in a mess, Luo Haitang couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Explained: "She, she, well, I heard that your Ninth Uncle ascended to the throne, and I was a little stimulated! Even though she seems to be careless on weekdays, she still has true feelings for your Ninth Uncle."
"Hmm!" Of course Jiang Zhou would not blame Luo Jiao'er for this matter. He just nodded slightly and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "It has been more than half a year since my ninth uncle ascended, why...
"
Jiang Zhou was indeed a little confused. Looking at Luo Jiaoer's appearance, it seemed as if he had just learned about the news. Luo Haitang also quickly explained that it turned out that Luo Jiaoer had really just learned about it. The Luo family wanted to
To conceal the news, Mr. Luo deliberately found an excuse to shut Luo Jiaoer up tightly. Unexpectedly, a servant talked too much and Luo Jiaoer got wind of it, causing such a big fuss.
She was the one who broke out of Luo's house.
Hearing what Luo Haitang said, Jiang Zhou nodded, and then waved his hand to let Jiang Cheng and others go down first, while he personally entertained Luo Haitang. After all, Luo Haitang was also Jiang Zhou.
Zhou's biological uncle, although Jiang Zhou couldn't change his words for a while, he couldn't deny this relationship. It would be more appropriate for Jiang Zhou to do it in person to entertain Luo Haitang.
After exchanging a few words, Jiang Zhou and Luo Haitang also talked about some recent anecdotes in the imperial city. Gradually, the two of them also talked about the Chen family, which was comparable in strength to the Luo family.
"Chen Jinhao joined the city defenders?" Hearing this news, Jiang Zhou was also a little surprised. Of course, Jiang Zhou still remembered who Chen Jinhao was. Such a playboy would actually join the imperial city's city defenders to endure hardships. It was indeed true.
Jiang Zhou was surprised.
The imperial city's defenders were not a place for leisure. Daily drills alone were enough to tire out many battle-hardened veterans, not to mention Chen Jinhao, a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long!
Originally, Chen Jinhao was the young master of the Chen family. It was a definite matter that he would inherit the Chen family in the future. With the strength of the Chen family, Chen Jinhao did not have to endure any hardship at all and could completely enjoy his life. How could he run away and join the city defenders?
?Besides, it’s not like Chen Jinhao is capable of such behavior?
"Of course it won't be Chen Jinhao's choice!" Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, Luo Haitang also smiled coldly, with disdain on his face. Of course, his disdain was directed at Chen Jinhao in his mouth. Immediately afterwards, Luo Haitang also continued.
: "It was the head of the Chen family, Chen Jinhao's father, who personally escorted Chen Jinhao to the city defenders! This old guy is really cruel! I heard that the head of the Chen family even ordered that no one under the Chen family be allowed to go.
Anyone who helps Chen Jinhao will push that boy Chen Jinhao to a dead end! The father and son have no idea how much hatred they have, do they need to force each other to the death like this?"
As Luo Haitang spoke, he shook his head and sighed. Although the old man of the Luo family treated him extremely harshly, at least he didn't come up with so many tricks to kill himself. In comparison, he, the young master of the Luo family, still lived a good life.
Very moisturizing.
"Hmm! The Chen family?" Jiang Zhou also began to slowly digest this sudden news. Last time, Jiang Zhou schemed against Chen Jinhao and broke Chen Jinhao's legs. Originally, Jiang Zhou had been on guard during this period.
He wanted to take revenge on the Chen family. But he didn’t expect that the head of the Chen family not only had no intention of avenging his son, but actually fixed Chen Jinhao!
But even so, Jiang Zhou didn't mean to take it lightly. In his opinion, if something goes wrong, he must be a monster! Looking at Chen Jinhao's virtue before, it can be judged that the head of the Chen family is very indulgent towards Chen Jinhao, otherwise he would
He would not form a habit like Chen Jinhao! But now that Chen Jinhao's legs have been broken by him, the head of the Chen family has no intention of revenge. This is too abnormal!
Jiang Zhou immediately made up his mind. He must find an opportunity to find out what the Chen family is planning! Well, by the way, Sandong collects all the intelligence of the Jiang family. Through Jiang Yun, he can use Sandong’s connections.
, check carefully what kind of medicine the Chen family is selling in the gourd! If the Chen family is really planning something, you'd better be prepared!
