Chapter 1232 Drowned
Just when the people were angry and about to attack the Zhao family, suddenly, another news came, saying that the Zhao family had opened casinos, brothels, pawn shops, grain stores and other shops in dozens of big cities across the country. .
As soon as the news came out, officials from various cities and towns immediately sent troops to search the Zhao family's properties.
Within three days, they were actually asked to search out more than a dozen shops belonging to the Zhao family. It is conceivable that the Zhao family of Chu Jingqi Ao Tianchen dared to threaten the lives of ordinary people for treason. The ordinary people were I hate it to the core and hate the feeling of pain.
The common people were not polite to the Zhao family's property. They rushed in and smashed the shop. After smashing it, they also beat the people in the shop.
On the night when more than a dozen shops were smashed, many shops in Dasheng Kingdom were closed down on the same day. Not a single thing was left inside, and no one was left. It is not known which road they came from. They retreated on the road, and officials from various cities searched everywhere but could not find where they were.
But a month later, in the place where Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen had been surrounded for more than two months, and there was still a stalemate, there was a group of people, and this group of people were the people of the Zhao family who had retreated from all over the country.
After this group of people arrived, the Zhao family was like a monkey with wings, almost flying into the sky. That night, they gathered a group of people and attacked Chu Jingqi's camp.
Although Chu Jingqi brought not many people, they were all elite soldiers, the best soldiers selected from the Chu family army.
But even so, after meeting the dead soldiers carefully trained by the Zhao family, Chu Jiajun was unable to resist and was hacked to death with a knife.
When Chu Jingqi arrived in a hurry, the ground was covered with blood and dead bodies, and the dead soldiers of the Zhao family had already left.
This was the first time that Chu Jingqi had been successfully attacked by someone in so many years of leading troops in war, and afterwards, he allowed the enemy to flee.
Chu Jingqi was furious and immediately led his troops to chase him. However, the soldiers of the Zhao family were so good at Qinggong that they came and went without a trace. By the time he chased him out, they had long since disappeared.
Chu Jingqi led the troops but returned without success.
When I came back, the dead bodies on the ground had been cleaned up by the soldiers. Even the blood stains on the ground had been cleaned up, and a layer of the ground had been scraped off.
In addition to the strong smell of blood in the air, the ground was so clean that it was impossible to tell that this place had experienced a hell-like scene before.
At the same time, Ao Tianchen was also attacked by someone. He was about to sleep when he was woken up by the noise.
After learning that his barracks had been attacked, Ao Tianchen picked up a musket and flew towards the battlefield.
Fortunately, when he came, he ordered the boy to bring two muskets. Unexpectedly, they came in handy.
Ao Tianchen went there in time, and before the other party had time to retreat, he met him head-on.
Without saying a word, Ao Tianchen shouldered his musket and fired several shots at the opponent. In the blink of an eye, he shot and wounded two of the opponent's people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the opponent blew a whistle. Then, before Ao Tianchen could react, a group of men in black retreated in an instant. By the time Ao Tianchen chased out with a gun, the men in black were already there. He ran away without a trace.
And just when Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen were attacked at the same time and discussing how to defeat the Zhao family's dead soldiers, something disgusting happened in the capital.
The eldest grandson of the Liu family was pushed into the lake and drowned. Instead of avenging their grandson, the Liu family protected the murderer of their eldest grandson's death.
The young lady of the Liu family lost her beloved son. In grief, she wanted to punish the murderer of her son, but she was called a jealous woman by the Liu family.
As soon as this incident came out, it shocked the entire capital. Immediately, everyone accused the Liu family of punishing an upright young lady for a woman who could not stand up to the stage. Not only that, the Liu family also criticized their grandson. Death, all behaved very indifferently. It was as if the person who died was not their own grandson, but someone else's grandson. There was no trace of sadness on his face.
After Xia Zihan got the news, she was very shocked. Her first reaction was that Dou Da's son, who had gone through so much hard work, was just like this... How could she bear it?
She immediately told Chu Qing, "Prepare the carriage immediately. I want to go to the Liu Mansion."
"Master, the Liu Mansion is in great chaos at this time. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for you to go at this time." Chu Qing hurriedly persuaded.
Xia Zihan snorted coldly and said mockingly, "Do the people from the Liu family still dare to kick me out?"
"Then they don't dare."
Not to mention that the master has the honorable title of princess conferred by the emperor on his head. Even if he does not have this title, just because the master is the eldest wife of Prince Anjun, the future mistress of the family, Princess Anjun, and a member of the Liu family. If you lose your master, you can only kneel down and don't dare to offend him.
"In that case, I'll go now." Xia Zihan stood up, took off the cloak hanging on the screen, put it on and walked out.
When Xia Zihan hurried to Liu's house, the door of Liu's house was closed, and there was no other sound except wailing.
The two sisters Dou Er and Dou Si, as well as the three ladies and two young ladies of the Dou family who came in a hurry, had just arrived and had just gotten off the carriage.
Dou Si's maid stepped forward and looked at the door. However, after looking for a long time, no one came to open the door. Angrily, Dou Si pointed at the door of Liu Mansion and cursed.
Xia Zihan said, "I'll climb over the wall and go in to take a look. You guys wait outside for a while."
"By the way, Chu Yu knows martial arts and is good at light kung fu. Chu Yu, please fly in quickly and help us open the door." Dou Si said anxiously because he was worried about Dou Da.
Xia Zihan said "yes" and jumped up onto the courtyard wall. With a kick, he landed in Liu's courtyard.
As soon as they landed, a group of patrolling guards appeared, "Hey, who dares to break into our Liu family?"
"Hmph, I really thought Liu Mansion had something powerful, but it turns out it's just mediocre." Xia Zihan replied mockingly, and then opened the door before the other party could recover.
Dou Er, Dou Si and several ladies and young ladies from the Dou family rushed in together.
Mrs. Dou's face was gloomy, and she ordered the Liu family's guards, "Go and inform Mrs. Liu that I have arrived."
"This..." The guard hesitated for a moment, and Mrs. Dou's face became stern. "Why, Mrs. Liu did something shameful and she is still hiding from people?"
"No, please wait a moment. I will report to the old lady right now." The leader of the guards came over and patted the guard.
Mrs. Dou snorted coldly and walked inside.
The leader of the guards took a leap for life, and he flew away.
By the time Mrs. Liu got the news and came to greet the guests, Mrs. Dou's face was so gloomy and black that she could shed ink.
