Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Chapter 254 Situation (please subscribe)

In front of Meng Zhao, there was a lively scene.

Wearing open-breasted short sleeves and full of strength, Meng's servants worked in pairs, carrying huge wooden boxes from outside the door and crossed the threshold of the side door of Xiyuan.

Even though they were all middle-aged men, with strong muscles and bones, and good strength, they still seemed very strenuous and they were breathing heavily.

It can be seen that the contents hidden in the wooden box are very heavy.

However, no matter how hard it was, I didn't dare to show any signs of neglect. Instead, I was cautious and full of love for the things in the box, which could even be said to be fanatical.

There are more than twenty large boxes like this, which contain either gold or silver, as well as pearls, jade, rare medicinal materials and other valuables. Lu Le next to him took stock of them all and then sealed them in the warehouse.

These are not the treasures hidden by Tu Xiu, but the income from some of the properties of the second house in Jizhou were collected and sent to the Meng Mansion. This is already the third batch.

These industries are scattered throughout Jizhou, among the nine counties, some are large and some are small, the income is high and some are low, and some are even losing money, but when put together, it is still a huge sum of money.

It is far inferior to the wealth hidden in Tu Xiu's treasure, but it can be accumulated over time. It is definitely not comparable to Tu Xiu's treasure which will become less and less with more use and will be exhausted one day.

This is the foundation for the family's long-term prosperity. In contrast, treasures are just a temporary blessing that will not last long.

A similar situation also occurs in the large and third-bedroom households. In terms of income and property, it is definitely far higher than that of the second-household households who have only just started to work hard.

It can also be seen from this that although the Meng family is famous for its nobility, its wealth is probably rare in Jizhou, and it is unknown how many direct and indirect forces and businesses it has.

Meng Zhao looked at these harvests with a smile on his face, and his pale face became red again, not to mention that Lu Le next to him was beaming with excitement and was inexplicably excited.

At this time, ten days have passed since the Minghualou murder case, and the atmosphere in the city is still tense. There are often menacing men with swords and portraits wandering around in the streets and alleys, risking their lives to find Zhu Guangxi for the reward of the government and the family. There is no trace of him, but there is still no news.

Because Zhu Guangxi had not been caught and the time limit set by Cui Tan had exceeded, three important county officials were removed from their posts, and two head catchers who were suspected of providing convenience to Zhu Guangxi were directly taken to prison to await processing.

I heard that the homes of the two arrestees were also robbed. It can be said that if something happens to one person, the whole family will be affected.

Moreover, the people who did it were most likely family members of the victims who died or were injured that day. They had this motive and strength.

It’s not like there’s no good news.

Wang Xuan, the head catcher who first served as a chess piece for Hu Wanwan and then used it as a chess piece for Meng Zhao, took advantage of this to ascend to the position. The position of chief catcher, which originally had some twists and turns, should be confirmed after this incident, and the value of the chess pieces has also been greatly enhanced.

Let's talk about Zhu Guangxi, who is also in a panic at this time, as anxious as a rat.

The Minghualou murder case has caused a sensation in the whole state, and the news has been sent to the capital, creating a huge hole.

Not to mention others, it angered the powerful elites in Nan'an County, which directly led to the unprecedented intensity of this manhunt, which was different from the previous two pursuits of Shi Jie.

The first wanted search for Shi Jie was done by people in the city to please Shen Tianci, so it was more of a show.

The second time Shi Jie was wanted was actually with Hu Yingxiong. The cause was his sneak attack and murder of the innate master of Tianxing Hall. For this reason, the city was closed for three days. The main search was focused on the two imperial powers of the county and Tianxing Hall. The Meng family only acted as helpers and did not participate too much.

Although the two efforts were strong, there were many loopholes.

But this time is different. No one dares to ignore the sensational effect caused by this murder. Perhaps in a while, the emperor will pass down an imperial edict. Therefore, although Zhu Guangxi has forces behind him to act for him, his traces have been discovered many times.

However, this eunuch was extremely brave and relied on his innate martial arts and swordsmanship to break out of tight sieges many times. He even did not hesitate to expend his original strength and forcefully improve his skills to kill one of Cui Tan's innate masters with a unique move, which shocked the entire county.

However, Zhu Guangxi was already running out of money after doing this several times, and sooner or later he would be caught.

And that day is not far away now.

In addition, Meng Zhao, and even the entire Meng family, were severely troubled during this manhunt, and mostly dealt with it.

Han Pu said this to him personally.

In fact, Meng Zhao's reluctance is understandable. He now only wants to change his blood, awaken the purple dragon body, and then go into Yunwu Mountain to find the pure blood dragon, and then reach the pinnacle of his life.

But Meng Jizu and the entire Meng family did not try their best, which surprised Meng Zhao.

In the end, it was Zhu Guangxi who was responsible for causing Meng Xi to be seriously injured and almost killed.

Although Meng Zhao's injury was caused by himself, the outside world also believed that it was Zhu Guangxi's fault.

Such a situation can be described as an out-and-out feud.

Meng Jizu actually had such a majestic spirit and could not move even when he was attracted. He really could endure it.

To live up to the status of the head of the Meng family, it is not for personal enmity, but for the great benefit of the family.

At the same time, it also verified some of Meng Zhao’s previous guesses.

The person behind Eunuch Zhu is by no means simple. He is probably a person with extraordinary hands and eyes in the capital.

The Meng family may have learned something, or even guessed it at the worst, so they didn't want to get too involved.

Now that the matter has passed, Meng Xi has been sent to the Kong family for treatment not long ago. He should be fine, but he may not be able to come back in a short time.

Meng Zhao's injury will recover soon.

There is no need to bear the unspeakable danger just for the sake of temporary anger.

If the Meng family made great efforts to really capture it and ask about some secrets and troubles that they shouldn't know, wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they faced a behemoth in the capital?

On the contrary, it is better to calm down, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and watch the changes in the external situation.

After all, there shouldn't be too many people who want Zhu Guangxi's life now. Most of the large and small families in Nan'an County are related to each other. This strength is enough to deal with an innate martial artist.

There are not many Domeng family members, and there are not many Shao Meng family members.

For this reason, Meng Jizu also had a special talk with Meng Zhaochang, hoping that he would not hold any grudges, thinking that the family was unwilling to vent his anger on his behalf.

Meng Zhao still behaved very openly and without any complaints.

This time, he acted in his true colors. He himself didn't even think about what Han Pu and his people would do to Zhu Guangxi, let alone the Meng family?

Finally, there is Mr. Fang Xiaohou of Qingninghou Mansion.

If there hadn't been an assassination that day, Meng Zhao and the young marquis, who was extremely friendly to him, would have become, at worst, worthy friends.

Now, this young marquis can be said to be neglected in front of the house. After all, the murder is related to him. The fault was not his fault. How could so many people die there?

Therefore, the extremely unpopular Mr. Fang Xiaohou has been having a very unhappy life these days and is very unpopular.

Of course, because of the relationship with the Hou Mansion, no one dared to vent their anger on him.

However, the old Shen family's grandson died, but he did not neglect him too much. He still wrote a letter for him and was willing to build some connections for him among the Nansan Yingjun.

It's the only bit of comfort.

At this time, Han Pu, who was wearing a navy blue cotton robe, rushed over. When he saw Meng Zhao standing on the inside of the door, he handed over a note.

Meng Zhao glanced at it and sighed, Mr. Fang Xiaohou was leaving.
