Chapter 216 Zhou Chu: Yes, Lord Yelu, I will definitely rebel against Chen Jiusi

"Assassination?"

Yelu narrowed his eyes and said, "This may be difficult. The black market in Mianshui is run by Chen Jiusi's friend, Hua Sanniang, and there are no powerful assassins there. How can we kill Chen Jiusi?"

Yu Maner said: "I will go to Yong'an Mansion to hire a killer."

"Yong'an Prefecture?"

Yelu narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yu Maner said, "Yong'an Prefecture is rich in assassins. As long as the money is paid, there is no one that cannot be killed."

Yelu thought about it and said, "You know these killers in Yong'an Prefecture?"

Yu Maner smiled and said, "Haha, don't worry, I know a broker. As long as the money is paid, there is no need to worry about not being able to find a good killer."

Yelu thought for a moment and said, "Well, I do know the Yong'an assassin, and the Twelve Black Wind Devils are also famous."

Yu Maner said, "Yes, I am going to invite the Twelve Black Wind Devils, but I heard that to invite them, I need five thousand taels of gold and twenty Tai Sui Pills."

Yelu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, in that case, I will lend you the gold and Tai Sui Dan."

Yu Maner smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Yelu is really straightforward."

After thinking for a while, Yelu said, "By the way, I have a few servants who want to go to Yong'an with you, and they will take care of you on the way."

"Well, are you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"

Yu Maner looked at Yelu and asked. Yelu shook his head and said, "No, no, they have other important matters. When we get to Yong'an, you go find your assassins and I'll find mine."

Yu Maner looked at Yelu and said, "Master Yelu, are you hiding something from me?"

Yelu smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay. Their trip has nothing to do with the martial arts world. You can rest assured."

Yu Maner said, "We will set out from the woods outside the city in half a day. Have them take what they need and set off."

Yelu smiled and said, "Okay, see you in half an hour."

After the two of them made an agreement, Yu Maner left first to prepare some necessary supplies. The journey to Yong'an Prefecture would take about one or two days, so she needed to prepare some food. Moreover, she would have to look for someone when she got there, so the journey would probably take some days.

But she was also wondering why Yelu sent people to Yong'an Prefecture.

She was just wondering when a smile appeared on Yelu's face upstairs as he looked at the sky outside which was not yet clear.

This kind of disaster year is the best time for him to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, he soon returned to his mansion, wrote a letter and handed it to a trusted servant.

"Take this letter and hand it to the magistrate of Yong'an Prefecture in person. Tell him that I have lent him 100,000 dan of grain from the government warehouse and that I have given him this 5,000 taels of silver note. Tell him to return it after the autumn harvest."

After hearing this, the servant immediately said, "Yes, Master, but will the judge lend us food?"

Yelu heard this and said, "Haha, the Tongpan of Yong'an Prefecture was my old schoolmate and friend. He may not agree to do other things for me, but if I lend him 100,000 dan of grain from his government warehouse and give him this silver, he will not refuse my favor."

The servant said, "Master, even if he is willing to lend it, what do we need so much grain for? Grain is not valuable now, and sorghum rice is only ten cents per pound."

Yelu looked at the servants and said, "Haha, it's not worth much. It's because the rain hasn't stopped. When the rain stops, the grain price will double. We may not earn as much as we did this time even if we work hard for a year or two. Okay, go ahead and don't mess things up."

"Yes, master"

The servant responded and left immediately. Seeing the servant walking away, Yelu couldn't help but sigh. This new servant was far inferior to Qimuge. It was a pity that Qimuge died in the treasure of the King of Medicine. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as he is given time, he can train a slave like Qimugege.

He can also train up sects like the Fishing Gang and the Cao Gang, and the Mian River will still be firmly under his control.

Yelu thought so, touched his belly and said, "Come on, serve the sashimi."

This time on the trip to the Medicine King's Treasure, he hadn't eaten raw fish for a long time, and his stomach had long been unable to bear it. If Chen Jiusi hadn't been too eye-catching, he would have not bothered to pay attention to Chen Jiusi.

What he likes most is to enjoy sashimi.

Yelu's two major hobbies in life were fishing and eating sashimi.

While eating sashimi, Yelu said, "Send someone to inform Zhou Peng of the Beggars' Sect to unite with the surrounding small gangs and immediately control the food in the city. Buy as much as you can. I will give them great wealth."

"Yes."

The servants around him immediately went to inform Zhou Peng of the Beggar Gang. After receiving Yelu's order, Zhou Peng immediately contacted some familiar small gangs in the city and began to hoard goods and food.

It is said that after a major disaster, there will inevitably be a famine.

Yelu thought about it, called a few servants, whispered a few words in their ears, and then these people immediately went to do their work.

Watching everyone leave, Yelu ate the sashimi in his mouth with a cold look on his face: "Chen Jiusi, this time, I'm betting with you on the people of Mianshui. Don't you want to save the people of Mianshui? Let's see who wins, you or me, hehe..."

Yelu thought about it, his eyes filled with coldness.

In this round, Chen Jiusi, I'm competing with you in a battle of wits. What we're betting on is the future foundation of your fishing gang and the people of Mianshui.

Chen Jie treated his hometown as a flood discharge area, won over the people, and severely punished his subordinates. What was his purpose? Wasn't it to make the people of Mianshui grateful for the kindness of your fishing gang, win over the people, and expand your foundation?

Then I will destroy your foundation. You want the people to live, so I will let the people die!
Hehehe…hahahaha…

……

Chen Jie from the fishing gang looked at the bloody Zhou Chu and waved his hand, saying, "Come here, carry him back home."

After hearing this, my younger brother immediately brought a stretcher over, and Zhou Chu lay on the stretcher and was carried away. Before being carried away, Zhou Chu looked at Chen Jie deeply.

Chen Jie didn't say anything. The two of them just looked at each other and left.

Seeing Zhou Chu being carried away, Xiao Hu limped over and said, "Boss, Old Zhou is really disappointed this time."

Chen Jie said: "There are some things that he needs to think clearly about himself. If he can't figure it out..."

Chen Jie didn't say anything, but looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Hu Zi, are you okay?"

Chen Xiaohu said: "Haha, it's okay. Although my butt hurts a little, it's bearable."

Chen Jie said: "You kid, go back and recuperate first."

Chen Jie knew that Xiaohu's purpose of going to be beaten was to prevent Zhou Chu from feeling too disappointed. He accompanied Zhou Chu to be beaten, which not only helped Chen Jie establish his authority, but also helped Zhou Chu save face.

The three top leaders of the fishing gang are Xiaohu, Zhouchu and Sixi.

Now that two of them have been beaten, if Chen Xiaohu is not beaten, it would seem shameful for these two people. But since both of them have been beaten, no one will use this matter to attack them anymore.

This beating won't lead to hatred.

So Chen Jie knew what Xiaohu was thinking, but instead of stopping him, he gave him a beating.

This beating finally made the disciples of the Fishing Gang change their minds. They had been going too smoothly in the past few days, so they felt that the gang rules were just that.

But this beating made them completely sober up. The gang rules are strict. Once violated, no one will be let off easily. No matter who is Zhou Chu, Sixi, or Chen Xiaohu, they will be beaten if they make a mistake!
This immediately made the entire fishing gang more disciplined and cohesive. Overall, there were many benefits.

"Let's break up!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Jie waved his hand and told everyone to go back to their own business.

All of a sudden, everyone left, leaving Chen Jie sitting alone at the door, truly experiencing what it means to be alone.

Just when Chen Jie was feeling what loneliness was like, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on his shoulders, gently kneading his shoulders.

Chen Jie felt the force on his shoulder and said, "You also think I hit you wrong?"

At this time, a voice came from behind: "I know my husband is also feeling bad, after all, he is an old brother who has been with me all the way."

Chen Jie sighed and said, "Alas..."

Thinking about it, Chen Jie said, "My wife, go to Master later to get some golden wound medicine, and then send this to Zhou Chu."

"Chen Heng, you go with the Madam."

Chen Jie waved and called Chen Heng over.

Chen Heng nodded: "Yes."

Su Yunjin said: "No need, husband, Sister Hua can go with me."

At this time, Hua Sanniang came over and said, "Don't worry, I'll be with Yunjin and nothing will happen."

Chen Jie said: "Well, let Chen Heng drive for you."

As he spoke, Chen Jie pulled out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured out a Tai Sui Pill, gave it to Su Yunjin and said, "Give this to Zhou Chu as well."

Su Yunjin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Su Yunjin nodded, followed the fishing gang's inner carriage, and Hua Sanniang accompanied Su Yunjin to Zhou Chu's residence.

Chen Jie stood up and said, "Chen Hum."

"My subordinate is here."

Chen Jie said, "After I left, the food I asked Old Monster Liu to buy has arrived."

After hearing this, Chen hummed: "Boss, some have arrived, but."

"But what?"

"But it's only about 50,000 stones."

"Why is there only this much? Didn't you say there could be 150,000 stones?"

Chen hummed, "Boss, we originally had 150,000 shi, but the rebels in the north suddenly attacked Shanxi, and the court urgently requisitioned grain, so they transported away all the grain that we didn't have time to transport."

After hearing this, Chen Jie frowned: "It's going to be bad!"

Thinking about it, Chen Jie asked: "Where is the food now?"

Chen hummed, "There are 20,000 shi stored in our warehouse, and the rest is still in the warehouse of the Cao Gang."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, bring all the grain back immediately, and then send people to nearby prefectures to buy grain. If Huangzhou Prefecture doesn't have any, go to Yong'an Prefecture or Xiaogan Prefecture to buy some."

Chen hummed, "Boss, I'm afraid that won't work. This time, the grain collection is not just for Huangzhou Prefecture, but also for all the prefectures. I guess there isn't much grain left in the folks now, and only the government warehouses still have grain."

"Official warehouse."

Chen Jie frowned. It was impossible to sell the grain in the government warehouse. So, didn't it mean that there was nothing he could do?
Chen Jie thought about it, and then said: "Find me a horse, I will go to find the princess!"

Chen hummed, "Yes."

After saying that, the two of them prepared to leave, and Chen Heng went to drive for Su Yunjin.

But at this moment, suddenly a group of people came from not far away.

Chen Heng was stunned and said, "It seems to be someone from the Cao Gang."

After he finished speaking, a disciple from the Fishermen's Gang came over and said, "Gang Master, these are the Young Gang Masters of the Cao Gang, Liu Song and Bai Mosheng."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Let them come over."

The order was given, and soon Liu Song and Bai Mosheng came over. When they saw Chen Jie, Liu Song bowed and asked impatiently, "Boss Chen, may I ask where my father is?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie's expression changed slightly.

He looked at Liu Song and said, "Young Master Liu, Mr. Bai, please come in and have some tea."

Liu Song said, "No, no, Master Chen, why are you all back but my father is not here? Did something happen to him?"

Chen Jie looked at Liu Song and said, "Hey, I was just thinking about how to tell you. Now that you're here, let's not hide anything. I'll just tell you straight away."

Liu Song and Bai Mosheng both looked at Chen Jie.

"Liu, Brother Liu died in the battle."

"what!"

"How can this be!"

After hearing this, Liu Song yelled in disbelief, and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Boss Chen, we are not allowed to joke around."

"My father, my father... no, he won't..."

Liu Song had tears in his eyes, and Bai Mosheng beside him also lost his mind and clenched his fists.

Chen Jie sighed and said, "Alas... My condolences."

As Chen explained, he reached into his bosom and took something out. This action was actually a fake, the purpose of which was to conceal the storage function of the iron ring in his hand.

He took out a Cao Gang token.

Chen Jie said: "The situation was very dangerous at the time. We encountered a very scary thing. Gang Leader Liu was hit by that thing. I didn't expect that thing to be poisonous. Qimuge from Yelu Mansion was also poisoned and died in pain."

"Brother Liu didn't want to be treated like this, so he committed suicide and gave me this token before he died. He asked me to pass it on to you and told me to manage the Cao Gang's foundation well."

Chen Jie patted Liu Song on the shoulder.

Liu Song held the token that symbolized the leader of the Cao Gang in his hand and cried out, "Dad!"

Bai Mosheng on the side frowned slightly, glanced at Chen Jie, lowered his head and said nothing, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Old Monster Liu still has his own personal charm. I didn’t expect that this trip to find the treasure would be a farewell forever.

Liu Song cried so hard that he couldn't speak. Chen Jie didn't know how to comfort him and could only wait for Liu Song to finish crying.

Old Monster Liu gave him the token in order to get him to merge with the Cao Gang, but Chen Jie inexplicably softened his heart at this moment. Moreover, in front of the other person's son, Chen Jie didn't know how to start the conversation about seizing someone else's property.

So he returned the token to Liu Song.

Liu Song cried for a long time while holding the token, then slowly stood up, bowed to Chen Jie and said, "Thank you, Boss Chen, for helping me bring back my father's relics."

After saying that, he turned and left. Bai Mosheng bowed to Chen Jie, turned and left. Looking at his back as he left, Chen Jie didn't say anything, but felt a little sad.

But he had no time to feel sad now, as he had to find a way to solve the impending famine.

When he came back just now, Chen Jie checked the damage caused by the Mian River in recent days.

We found that the disaster-affected area was very large and affected a lot of farmland. We should know that the autumn grain harvest would be in less than two months, and after the harvest, we would have to prepare for the winter.

The food that the people have now is at most enough to last until the autumn harvest, but this flood has destroyed the people's fertile fields and the stored grain of many families.

What was even more terrifying was that several large granaries built outside the city were also flooded, and all the food was gone.

The people may soon face famine just after they have solved the flood problem, and no one knows how many people will starve to death by then.

But this was something Chen Jie would not allow. Mianshui County had been regarded as Chen Jie's base. As long as some unstable factors were removed, this place would completely become Chen Jie's base camp.

Just like the Xiantao Village back then, it is Chen Jie’s foundation.

The people here are Chen Jie's foundation. Chen Jie cannot and will never allow them to starve to death on a large scale.

Because these are all Chen Jie’s property.

Chen Jie's goal is to become emperor, and how can he become emperor without a base? Mianshui County is Chen Jie's base, and he must not allow the base to be lost!

Chen Jie thought about it and said to Chen Heng, "Let's go to the princess."

Chen Jie was ready to ask Zhao Ya for help. This kind of disaster relief should have been the court's responsibility, and now only the government warehouse had grain, so he could only rely on the princess to step in. Moreover, with Zhao Ya's character, she would not watch the people die of hunger and cold.

In this way, Chen Jie went to the princess's residence.

……

Chen Jie went to the princess's residence, while on the other side, Liu Song was holding the token left by Old Monster Liu and crying miserably.

Bai Mosheng followed beside him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

As the group was walking, suddenly a figure appeared in front of them, wearing the clothes of a servant in the Yelu Mansion.

"Is that Master Liu Song from the Cao Gang in front of us?"

After hearing this, Liu Song looked up and saw the servant. He asked, "Who are you and what do you want from me?"

"I am a servant of the Yelu Mansion, and I am here to look for you on the orders of Lord Yelu."

Liu Song frowned: "Yelü? What do you want to see me for?"

Looking back at Bai Mosheng, Bai Mosheng said: "It's okay, now is not the time for him to cover the sky with one hand, you go and listen to his ideas, I'll wait for you here."

After hearing this, Liu Song dismounted and walked towards the man.

When he got there, Liu Song looked at the servant and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The servant looked at Liu Song and said, "Master Liu, my master asked me to bring you a message."

"What?"

Chen Jie looked at the servant, who said, "My master told me to tell you to be careful of Chen Jiusi. Your father's death was caused by Chen Jiusi!"

"What! Say it again?"

When Liu Song heard this, his eyes instantly turned red and he looked at the servant and asked.

The servant said, "My master said that your father's death was caused by Chen Jiusi."

Liu Song's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing this, and there was murderous intent in his eyes, but he soon took a deep breath and said: "Chen Jiusi, does your master have any evidence?"

"My master is the evidence. My master is a person of such status and he cannot deceive Master Liu. Why don't you believe it?"

Liu Song didn't say anything when he heard this, but looked at the servant and said, "Okay, I understand."

The servant was a little confused by Liu Song's reaction. He heard that this kid was very impulsive. How could he keep his composure today?

While thinking about this, Liu Song asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately said, "Also, young master, my master said that the old leader Liu was his close friend for many years. He was very sad to see him die. But if the young young master Liu wants to inherit his father's business, my master will fully support him and make the Cao Gang the largest gang in Mianshui again!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Song looked up at the servant.

His expression was somewhat complicated, but he still bowed and said, "Please go back and tell Lord Yelu to thank him for his kindness. I don't want to do anything now. I just want to bury my father properly. Everything else will be discussed after my father's funeral."

After hearing this, the servant was stunned, and then said: "Yes, I will report Master Xiao Liu's intention to my master."

Liu Song said: "Thank you."

After saying this, the servant turned and left.

Liu Song walked back slowly. Bai Mosheng looked at Liu Song and said, "Sir, what did he say?" Liu Song said, "He said that my father was killed by Chen Jiusi."

Bai Mosheng frowned slightly and said, "This is impossible. The old gang leader and Chen Jiusi are close friends. How could Chen Jiusi frame the old gang leader?"

Liu Song looked at Bai Mosheng and said, "Mr. Bai, you have always taught me that everything is based on interests. If Chen Jiusi kills my father, he can annex the Cao Gang. You and I cannot resist the Yu Gang now, so he is the biggest beneficiary. Why can't he kill my father?"

Bai Mosheng heard this and said: "This..."

Liu Song looked at Bai Mosheng and said, "Actually, I think Yelu wants me to think the same way. Okay, let's not talk about this. Actually, I have another request, sir."

Bai Mosheng said, "Sir, please speak."

Liu Song said: "Mr. Bai, Yelu just said that he would support me to be the leader of Cao Gang, and he would also lead Cao Gang to become the largest gang in Mianshui again."

Bai Mosheng said: "Don't listen to his one-sided words."

Liu Song said: "Sir, what you said is very true. In fact, I also know that I am not the best candidate for the leader of the Cao Gang. Before my father left, he said that if I don't live up to expectations, Mr. Bai can take my place."

Ah!
Bai Mosheng frowned.

"Are you testing me, sir?"

Liu Song said: "Mr. Bai, you watched me grow up. I am not suitable to be the leader of the Cao Gang. You should know this best. I sincerely invite you to be the leader of the Cao Gang."

Bai Mosheng looked at Liu Song very seriously, shook his head for a long time and said, "Sir, I don't know whether you are sincerely inviting me to do this or just pretending to invite me to do this, but I can't do it."

"I am a scholar, I can offer advice, but when it comes to making decisions, I am not up to the task."

"But there is one thing I want to tell you, sir."

Liu Song was stunned, looked at Bai Mosheng and said, "Mr. Bai, please be clear."

Bai Mosheng said: "This is a quick token!"

Liu Song looked at the token in his hand, and Bai Mosheng said, "This token is the agreement between me and the gang leader. Whoever holds this token will be appointed as the new leader of the Cao Gang by the gang leader."

"Ok?"

Liu Song looked at Bai Mosheng, then looked at the token in his hand.

"What does father mean?"

Bai Mosheng said: "I'm afraid that's the case. The gang leader may have entrusted the Cao Gang to Chen Jiusi, Gang Leader Chen."

Liu Song was stunned for a long time before he said, "If this is the case, why didn't Chen Jiusi say it clearly just now?"

Bai Mosheng said: "I don't know, maybe Chen Jiusi doesn't know the meaning, or maybe..."

"He felt sorry for me and couldn't bear to take my Cao Gang away."

Liu Song spoke for Bai Mosheng. Liu Song was silent. He looked at Bai Mosheng for a long time and said, "Mr. Bai, you have always treated me like a son and a nephew. If I were you, how would you choose?"

Bai Mosheng thought for a moment and said, "The situation is unclear now, so I'm not in a hurry to express my opinion."

"However, Chen Jiusi is not an ordinary person. In just one year, he has stirred up the Mian River into such a state, and he has also become acquainted with the princess of the imperial court. In the future, he will surely soar to the sky."

"And his fishing gang has become the dominant force in the Mian River. Although I don't want to admit it, our Cao Gang has already weakened. Maybe when he was still around, he would tolerate our existence for the sake of the old gang leader."

"But in the future, if he gets promoted along with the princess, the successor he chooses for Mianshui County may not give us face. By then, I'm afraid we..."

“It’s going to be hard.”

Bai Mosheng opened his mouth slowly. As a counselor, he had to tell everyone all the possibilities.

With the current power of the Fishing Gang, it is simply impossible to fight it, so it is only a matter of time before the Cao Gang is destroyed.

After hearing this, Liu Song said, "So Mr. Bai means to join the fishing gang?"

Bai Mosheng nodded slightly. As a smart person, the most important thing is to judge the situation. What does it mean to judge the situation? To put it simply, if you can't beat them, just join them. The earlier you join, the higher your position will be, the more stable your status will be, and the more fruits you will get in the future.

Liu Song was silent after hearing this, and then he said after a while: "Then let's go back?"

He looked at Bai Mosheng, who said, "Sir, this is not the best time. We need to find a meaningful time to surrender, so that we can get more preferential treatment."

Liu Song looked at Bai Mosheng, then nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, sir."

……

"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle..."

At Yongchang Street, Zhou Chu's residence, the housekeeper in the mansion was shocked when he saw Zhou Chu being carried back on a stretcher, and shouted anxiously.

"Master Zhou, are you okay? Master Zhou, are you okay?"

"Call the lady, call the doctor!"

The housekeeper shouted and Zhou Chu was sent directly into the house, and soon the lady came.

Zhou Chu's wife, Sun Erniang, became anxious when she saw Zhou Chu being beaten like this.

"Who did this!"

After hearing this, the younger brother who followed Zhou Chu said, "Yes, Boss, Master Zhou disobeyed..."

As soon as the younger brother told her about the matter, Madam Sun immediately became angry: "This gang leader is really ignorant. I am doing this for the good of my husband, so why is he still biting Lu Dongbin..."

"Shut up!"

Madam Sun had a hot temper, so she couldn't help but complain a few words.

At this time, Zhou Chu scolded his wife in a dull voice.

If this had happened in the past, Madam Sun would have cursed long ago, but the current Zhou Chu is not the same Zhou Chu as before.

He is now the head of foreign affairs of the fishing gang, and his status is comparable to Peng Shizhong in the past. Even Sun Buer dares not look down on her son-in-law, and Sun Erniang naturally no longer dares to bully Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu was lying on the bed at this time, and the maid serving him took off his wet clothes and changed him into clean clothes.

At this time, news came that the doctor had arrived.

Madam Sun quickly asked a doctor to come and see him. The doctor took one look and said, "This is a serious injury. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month."

After hearing this, Madam Sun complained again: "Chen Jiusi was too ruthless. He is the leader of the gang now. Has he forgotten that his brothers helped him to become the leader? Now he is so cruel."

"Shut your mouth!"

Zhou Chu raised his head, his eyes full of unquestionable majesty.

Madam Sun was immediately speechless. A person's family status is closely related to his identity.

The doctor came over, disinfected, and treated Zhou Chu's buttocks wound, then said, "Fortunately, the bones are not injured, just rest."

Madam Sun said, "Thank you, doctor. Come, send the doctor away."

Soon the doctor was sent away. At this time, Madam Sun looked at Zhou Chu and said, "You fool, you were beaten like this by Chen Jiusi, why don't you let me say a few words for you?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chu looked at Madam Sun and said, "Haha, you useless person, you want to shout and make a fuss just because I hit you a few times?"

"I tell you, a biting dog doesn't bark. If Chen Jiusi knew you were cursing like this, how could he not know that you have hatred in your heart? Remember, even if you have hatred, don't say it out loud, otherwise you will only be helpless and furious."

"Ah, husband, what do you mean by that? You are not going to betray the leader, no, Chen Jiusi, are you?"

Zhou Chu looked at Madam Sun and said, "Is it not possible?"

Madam Sun said immediately, "No, Mr. Zhou, you are crazy. Do you know that you are where you are today because of Chen Jiusi's help? Otherwise, you would still be my Sun family's useless son-in-law. How could you be so powerful today?"

Zhou Chu said: "He helped me, but I was devoted to him, and he beat me without mercy. I am not a person of any status now, and he is simply humiliating me too much! How can I not fight back!"

Madam Sun said, "This, this, my husband, please don't be confused, you can't do this!"

Zhou Chu said, "Don't worry about it. That's enough. You have nothing to do. You two can help Madam to rest."

Zhou Chu pointed at the two maids beside him and asked them to help Madam Sun leave.

Madam Sun was immediately anxious: "Husband, you, you can't do such an ungrateful thing, otherwise you will regret it. If you are angry, you can scold him, but don't do anything unwise!"

Zhou Chu waved his hand and said, "Go, go down and have a rest. What do you know about old women?"

Zhou Chu frowned as he watched his wife being helped away by two maids. After a moment, he saw his housekeeper walking in mysteriously.

"Master, what you just said was too radical. Even if you are wrong, you should not have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Zhou Chu glanced at the housekeeper and said, "Haha, why can't I have it? I am Zhou Chu and I am not Chen Jiusi's dog. I can't let him order me around. Sooner or later, I will replace him!"

After hearing this, the housekeeper's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Master, do you really have this idea?"

Zhou Chu looked at him and said, "What do you mean, are you going to report me?"

The housekeeper said, "No, someone from the Yelu Mansion came today and wanted to see you, Master. I hid him because I was afraid you would be unhappy. How about I call him out to talk to you, Master?"

Zhou Chu frowned and said, "Yelü Mansion, this..."

He looked hesitant, and the housekeeper immediately said, "Master, listen to what Yelu has to say. If the conditions are right, we don't have to hang ourselves on a tree, right?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chu glanced at the housekeeper and said, "Well, call him in."

The housekeeper immediately said: "Hey..."

The housekeeper left in a hurry, and Zhou Chu's face suddenly turned gloomy. Just as the gang leader said, Yelu had already planted spies in my house, and now he can't sit still.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu narrowed his eyes.

After betraying Chen Jiusi, Zhou Chu went crazy.

Although Zhou Chu may not be the most capable, he is the one who knows how to judge the situation the best and has the most self-awareness.

Why he was able to rise so quickly.

To borrow a saying from later generations, if you stand on the right spot, even a pig can take off.

The reason why he reached his current position so quickly was because of Chen Jiusi's promotion and because he got on Chen Jiusi's fast lane.

So there is no way you can ask him to betray Chen Jie.

So everything just now was just an act.

Moreover, Zhou Chu had known for a long time that there was something wrong with his housekeeper. You know, Yelu had never given up on placing spies in Chen Jiusi and Zhou Chu's homes.

But Chen Jiusi has never been successful.

However, Zhou Chu was very successful here and directly instigated a butler to rebel.

Zhou Chu had already discovered it, but Chen Jie told him not to rush to deal with him, as an obvious spy is a hundred times easier to deal with than a covert one.

So it has remained until now.

Zhou Chu was lying on the bed at this time. Soon someone came into the room and bowed to Zhou Chu and said, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Chu looked at him and asked, "Did Yelu send you here?"

The man said, "The master sent me here."

"What are you doing here, to see me laugh?"

"No, no, it's my master who thinks Chen Jiusi is too harsh on Hall Master Zhou."

"Humph!"

Zhou Chu snorted coldly, and the man continued, "Master Zhou has been following Chen Jiusi since Xiantao Village, and has made countless contributions along the way. Without Master Zhou's help, how could Chen Jiusi be able to sit firmly as the leader of the fishing gang?"

"Now that he has become the leader of the fishing gang, he has turned his back on the leader and brutally attacked Hall Master Zhou, embarrassing and humiliating him in public."

"My family couldn't stand it, so they sent me to visit Master Zhou."

Zhou Chu looked at the man and said, "Okay, you've seen it all, you can go now."

"Master Zhou, wait a minute."

The man looked at Zhou Chu and said, "A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in. Why would Master Zhou hang himself on a tree? The leader of the fishing gang is Chen Jiusi. So can Master Zhou not take over?"

"Lord Yelu said that as long as Master Zhou is willing to serve him, then the position of the leader of the Fishermen's Gang will be yours. What do you think?"

The man looked at Zhou Chu and said, after hearing this Zhou Chu fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "Butler, send the guest away!"

The man frowned slightly, but the housekeeper's eyes lit up and he pointed outside and said, "Please come in."

The man looked at the housekeeper and said, "Is that so?"

The housekeeper said, "Please."

After saying that, he kicked the person out of the house.

When they got outside, the man asked, "Butler, him?"

The housekeeper made a silent gesture and said, "Don't be impatient. Zhou Chu has been with Chen Jiusi for a long time. It is impossible for him to agree to Lord Yelu's conditions so easily. If he is so easily persuaded, then we should be careful. I'm afraid there is a trick!"

"Now, the timing is just right. He was obviously moved just now, but he is a little hesitant. If we use some drastic measures and do it a few more times, we will definitely be able to convince him."

After hearing this, the man said, "Okay, I'll go back and report to Lord Yelu first."

"go Go."

The housekeeper asked the man to leave and then returned to the house. At this time, Zhou Chu was still lying there.

The butler came over and said, "Master, the person has been sent away."

Zhou Chu said: "Oh, by the way, Old Wu, what do you think of what that person said?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Logically speaking, the master's current situation is due to the contribution of Boss Chen, but he beat the master in public. This, ..."

"It's hard to say. It's hard to say."

The butler is very smart and knows how to protect himself.

Zhou Chu said at this time: "Chen Jiusi, I worked hard for him, but he beat me in public and even removed me as the leader. If he comes to see me today, I think he still cares about our brotherhood. If he doesn't come, or sends someone to come, it means he doesn't take me seriously!"

After hearing this, the butler said, "Yes, yes, the master is right."

As the two were talking, they heard someone outside report: "Master, the lady is here to see you."

"lady?"

Zhou Chu said: "Which lady?"

"Madam Gang Leader."

The younger brother outside passed on the message. After hearing this, Zhou Chu's face suddenly turned ugly and he said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, you sent a woman to deal with our affairs!"

The housekeeper said, "Master, the lady is here, we have to welcome her."

Zhou Chu said: "Yes, let them in."

Soon Su Yunjin came in with Chen Heng. At this time, Zhou Chu lay on the bed and said, "Madam, I am injured. I am sorry that I cannot perform the full ceremony."

Su Yunjin heard this and said, "Ah, Brother Zhou, my husband was a bit too harsh and he regrets it, so I brought some gifts to visit you."

Su Yunjin said this and placed these things in front of Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu took a look and said calmly, "Oh, thank you, boss."

Chen Heng said at the side: "Brother Zhou, you should take good care of your injuries this time, and don't worry about the affairs of the gang. You have brothers here."

"Haha, yes, my position as hall master has been removed, why should I worry about it!"

Su Yunjin heard this and said, "Brother Zhou, this..."

"Madam, please stop trying to persuade me. I know everything in my heart. Besides, the backyard has nothing to do with what happens in the front yard. Thank you for coming to see me. Go back and tell the gang leader that I, Old Zhou, have done nothing wrong to him. I am very disappointed today."

"Brother Zhou!"

After hearing this, Chen Heng wanted to come up and persuade him, but what Zhou Chu said was indeed unpleasant.

Zhou Chu raised his hand and said, "Don't persuade me. If you consider me a brother, let's stop talking here today. Old Zhou, please send me away."

After hearing this, the housekeeper said: "Master, this lady..."

"see a visitor out!"

Zhou Chu was resolute. Su Yunjin sighed and said, "Brother Zhou, I know you are angry, but my husband is also in a difficult situation..."

Zhou Chu waved his hand.

The housekeeper said: "Madam, please..."

Su Yunjin sighed, then went out with Chen Heng. Soon, the two were respectfully escorted out of the courtyard. Standing outside, Chen Heng said angrily, "Brother Zhou, why is he like this?"

Su Yunjin said, "He is angry, let him think it over. By the way, don't tell the leader about this when you go back."

Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, Madam, I understand."

Su Yunjin got in the car and left.

At this time, the housekeeper said in the room: "Master, you were too aggressive just now. If Su Yunjin goes back and complains to Chen Jiusi!"

"I'm afraid of him!"

"I fought to death for him, but he sent a woman with some broken stuff. He is humiliating me and making fun of me. Screw you~"

As he said that, Zhou Chu threw all the gifts away.

The housekeeper said, "Hey, Master, Master."

Zhou Chudao said, "Get out, take all your stuff and get out, I don't want to see this pile of junk."

"Yes Yes."

The butler picked up the gifts on the ground and walked to the door with a smile on his face. If this matter was to be accomplished, he would quickly report it to Lord Yelu.

In the room, Zhou Chu slowly spread out his palm, in which was a Tai Sui Pill.

Zhou Chu looked at the Tai Sui Pill and a smile appeared on his face. The gang leader really spent a lot of money to put on a show and gave me a Tai Sui Pill...
