Chapter 157 Leaving the city!

"Uncle, think about it again. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

What does he want?
Zhou Jishan was sweating profusely and his heart began to struggle.

He looked up at Zhou Xintong's half-smile and his expression paused.

correct.

attitude.

The truth doesn't matter.

What he wants is my attitude of submission.

Thinking about this, Zhou Jishan moved his throat and said dryly: "My twelfth sister was kidnapped by the big-headed eagle before, and then I found out that the big-headed eagle was killed by Shen Qing. I guess my twelfth sister's death is related to him."

This was something he had found out a long time ago, but as to whether Zhou Yu was killed by Shen Qing, there was no clue or evidence at all.

But at this moment he couldn't care less and had to find a scapegoat first.

"Where does this Shen Qing come from?"

"He's a hunter from a village. He killed a tiger monster not long ago and was recognized by the county magistrate."

That means he has no background.

Zhou Xintong curled the corner of his mouth, knowing that his cousin was smart and knew what he wanted.

He gently put down the teacup, making a slight noise, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhou Jishan's heart.

Zhou Xintong slowly stood up and walked to Zhou Jishan and said, "Uncle, I am very sad about the death of the twelfth aunt. Although the Ninth Master and his family are not from the same family, they also represent the reputation of our Zhou family. Not everyone can touch them. Now we just need to find out the truth. Uncle Tai, thank you for making the trip."

"Yes, young master." The old servant walked out of the private room silently and got off the boat.

The private room suddenly became quiet.

"My uncle Congwu died of a sudden heart attack. I am deeply saddened and hope that my uncle will accept my condolences. The Zhou family in Yongzhou is wealthy and powerful. I was looking forward to working with my uncle to start a business. I hope my uncle will not let me down." Zhou Xintong patted Zhou Jishan on the shoulder and walked out of the private room.

After Zhou Xintong left, Zhou Jishan felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away and he felt dazed.

He looked at his brother who had turned into a corpse, and his face suddenly became expressionless, without any joy or sadness.

Most of the cultivation resources of the high-ranking families in the Great Zhou Kingdom are tilted towards the main family, and the martial arts skills of the main family have always been much higher than those of the side branches.

Force means power.

Unless a side branch family can produce a person with excellent talent for cultivation, who can be carefully cultivated to support the reputation of the branch family.

Otherwise, these branch families would be destined to be inferior to their own family members and would have no chance of turning things around.

After this severe beating from Zhou Xintong, Zhou Jishan accepted his fate.

Not only he will accept his fate, but his father Zhou Dingwen and even their entire tribe will accept their fate.

Zhou Jishan bent over and picked up his brother's body, then walked out of the room with a blank expression.

……

In the courtyard.

"Has the Zhou family left?"

"They left. I saw their convoy leave with my own eyes."

"There is no time to lose. Get ready and we will set off." Shen Qing said to Tian Xiaohu.

Tian Xiaohu pointed to the package at the door and said, "I have brought the things here. I can leave right away."

Shen Qing smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so quick. Xiaohu, go to Linfeng Hall and inform the hall master that we will leave the city in a moment."

"Okay, brother." Shen Xiaohu put down the work in his hands and ran out.

Although Shen Qing rose rapidly during this period, he actually did not accumulate much wealth except for some money.

Needless to say, my uncle's family had nothing left except pots, pans, and bedding.

Shen Qing bought a horse-drawn carriage from the city, and added a donkey cart. The two carts were just enough to carry people and belongings.

Under Shen Qing's arrangement, Tian Xiaohu and Shen Xiaoshan led out the slow horse and the donkey and put a harness on each of them.

Tian Xiaohu had learned how to drive, so he volunteered to sit in front of the carriage and drive the horse.

Uncle Shen Er drove the donkey. The two of them were one in front and one behind, whipping the donkey one after another.

With a crisp sound of a whip, the horse twisted its hips and began to trot.

Shen Qing placed the heavy bow on the horse's back and rode Zhuifeng in the front.

After passing through a street, he arrived at the agreed place and successfully met up with Li Linfeng.

Li Linfeng has a large family, and he brought a lot of people with him when he returned to his hometown this time, with three carriages in total.

While here, Shen Qing unexpectedly saw a familiar person.

This familiar person was none other than Xiao Zhi.

He rode his horse forward, walked to Xiao Zhi's side and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xiao, have you made up your mind?"

Xiao Zhi scratched his head and said, "I don't know why the shopkeeper doesn't like me very much recently. I think it's boring to stay here, so why not go to the county town with you? You will be on the road for quite a while, so you should also need a cook."

"Hahaha, we were just worrying about this. If I had you, I'm afraid I would have to suffer less on the road."

"Just don't mind that my food tastes the worst."

Xiao Zhi smiled naively and got on Shen Qing's donkey cart.

After Shen Qing walked up to greet Li Linfeng and his aunt, he walked towards the city gate with Li Linfeng's motorcade.

"Master Shen, where are you going?"

When Shen Qing was near the city gate, he heard a shout and looked in the direction of the sound.

From his appearance, he suddenly remembered that this man was the official who delivered a message to him on behalf of County Magistrate Du Yuntong. He had met him once before and was very enthusiastic.

He glanced at the convoy ahead, not wanting to cause any more trouble, and hurriedly said, "My master is going back to his hometown to repair his ancestral tomb, I'll see them off."

Quan Helin suddenly realized something, and he reminded her as if he had thought of something: "By the way, Mr. Shen, you haven't visited the county magistrate in the yamen for a while. The county magistrate has some complaints about you. You'd better take some time to go see him."

Shen Qing looked ashamed: "Thank you for reminding me, sir. I have been practicing hard during this period and forgot about it. After I send my master off today, I will definitely visit the county lord."

"Just remember it, Master Shen."

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

At the same time, Wang, who was sitting in the carriage, was rummaging through the luggage.

"Mom, what are you looking for?" Shen Xiaohu, who was also sitting in the carriage, asked curiously.

"Find a mirror."

"Mirror?"

"Hey, I clearly remember that I brought it. Could I have left it in the house?" Aunt frowned.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Shen Er had given her a rare item in all these years.

Although she said that she didn't like it that day, she was still very happy in her heart.

Now that he had lost it, his face suddenly became gloomy and he felt extremely lost.

Shen Xiaohu saw all this and said, "Mom, you haven't gone far yet, why don't I go back and take it off with you."

"Forget it. Let's not delay your brother's trip. It's just a mirror, a small item."

Shen Xiaohu could tell from his mother's personality that she loved to speak sarcastically: "It's okay. I've been practicing martial arts for so long that I've finally developed enough energy and blood. I'm considered a martial arts master, so I can run really fast. Mom, tell my brothers to walk slower. I'll follow after I get the mirror."

After saying this, without waiting for Wang to say anything else, he jumped from the back of the carriage and ran away like the wind.

Wang stuck her head out of the carriage and told Tian Xiaohu that Shen Xiaohu wanted to take the mirror.

Tian Xiaohu shouted at Shen Qing and unknowingly slowed down his pace.

After a long time, Li Linfeng's convoy had left them far behind, but they still could not see Shen Xiaohu.

This distance is enough for a round trip even if you walk.

Shen Qing pulled Zhuifeng's reins and said to the others, "Catch up with my master and the others. I'll go check them out and be back soon."

"drive!"

Shen Qing waved his whip fiercely and walked back towards Taiping County.
