Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Yingchuan Mansion.

The Chen family is an aristocratic family in Yingchuan Prefecture, second only to the first-class aristocratic families, and has considerable influence throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Especially in the territory of Yingchuan, the influence of the Chen family is definitely deep-rooted.

At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Chen family, more than a dozen heads of wealthy families gathered here.

Each of them looked a little nervous and frowned slightly.

Sitting on the main seat was the patriarch of the Chen family.

The head of the Chen family had the same look on his face, his brows knitted together.

"Clan Chief Chen, the court is now fully investigating the murderer building. Cao Zhengchun from Dongchang has left Luoyang. This matter will not be traced to us!"

"Yes! If this matter is found on us, then our whole family will be left with nothing to eat."

"Yes, the court will definitely not dare to do anything to those young masters, but it will not have any scruples about us."

"When the time comes, if we are really found out by the court, those young masters may not necessarily do their best to protect us."

The heads of more than a dozen wealthy families all looked at the head of the Chen family in the chair and said with worry.

The head of the Chen family raised his eyes and looked at everyone; "Don't worry, everyone! Only the owner of the Killer Building knows that we are behind this matter. The other people in the Killer Building don't know. Even if the court tries its best to pursue it, it can't be found on us." of."

"Unless the court can catch the owner of the killer building, the chance is slim."

"Taking a step back, even if the court can really catch the owner of the killer building, it will be difficult for the court to get the owner of the killer building to speak."

"So, don't worry too much, just keep it in your stomach!"

The head of the Chen family comforted everyone.

In fact, the head of the Chen family himself has the same worries as these people.

After all, this matter is no small matter.

Once they are found out by the court, there will be no other result except having their homes confiscated and their clan exterminated.

But seeing the worries of these people, the head of the Chen family knew that he had to comfort these people and stabilize everyone's mood.

Otherwise, you will expose yourself.

"That's good."

Hearing this, the ten people all breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the owner of the killer building knew the situation, so they felt much more at ease.

What they are afraid of is that Killer House will know that they have entrusted too many people, and they will be exposed after being caught by Dongchang.

Now only the owner of the killer building knows about their situation, so the chance of them being exposed is much smaller.

"And because Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, left Luoyang, those young men have already rushed to the killer building."

"I don't think I need to say more, you should all understand what those young masters are going to do!"

The head of the Chen family spoke again.

This time, it was a reassurance for more than ten people present.

"So, the prosperous days of Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, have come to an end."

"With those young masters taking action, it seems impossible for Cao Zhengchun to find us again."

"Haha, His Majesty the Emperor in our palace is probably going to lose one of his minions!"

After hearing the last words of the head of the Chen family, the more than ten people present here relaxed and relaxed completely.

They all know that Cao Zhengchun is very strong and dangerous.

But no matter how strong Cao Zhengchun is, they don't think Cao Zhengchun can be stronger than those young masters.

After all, Cao Zhengchun is a man of the world, while those young masters are people who transcend the world.

The two are not on the same level at all.

As long as those young masters take action, Cao Zhengchun will not be able to make any big waves.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Chen's mansion was blasted open, and the sound of clashes of soldiers suddenly broke out.

"what happened?"

The expressions of the head of the Chen family and everyone else changed and they stood up directly.

His expression, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

"Master, it's bad, soldiers and horses have surrounded the mansion."

"They didn't say anything and just rushed in aggressively."

The butler walked in hurriedly and said.

What?

Are there soldiers surrounding the mansion?

When the head of the Chen family and everyone else heard this, their expressions changed.

The first thing they thought of was, had what they did been discovered by the court?

However, before the head of the Chen family could think about it, a sharp sound resounded throughout the entire Chen family.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

"People from the Chen family should come out quickly to receive the order."

The expressions of the head of the Chen family and everyone else changed again.

None of them expected that the imperial court would suddenly send an imperial edict to the Chen family.

Judging from the words of the housekeeper, the people from the court rushed into the mansion in a fierce manner without saying a word. This was obviously a sign of bad intentions.

The head of the Chen family and the others looked at each other, their expressions solemn.

"Let's go out and take a look."

The head of the Chen family walked directly outside.

Others followed closely and walked out of the meeting hall.

Since the imperial court has issued a decree, no matter what the decree is, the head of the Chen family must first go out to receive it.

When the head of the Chen family led everyone out of the meeting hall and into the front yard, they saw a group of eunuchs wearing special clothes standing there with their hands behind their backs. Next to them were factory guards wearing flying eagle uniforms and boasting crescent swords on their waists.

Dongchang?

After seeing these people, the head of the Chen family couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Especially when the head of the Chen family saw more than a dozen corpses of his guards lying on the ground, his heart sank.

The one who comes is not good.

Could it be that what they did was really discovered by the court?

The dozen or so heads of wealthy families who came out behind the head of the Chen family also had serious expressions after seeing the corpses of the factory guards and the guards on the ground.

"I wonder what I call this father-in-law?"

"What is your Majesty's decree for my Chen family?"

The head of the Chen family took a step forward, looked at Cao Zhengchun and said politely.

That's right.

The eunuch standing with his hands behind his back was none other than Cao Zhengchun, the chief governor of Dongchang.

After Cao Zhengchun received instructions from Emperor Zhou Chen, he led his troops directly to the Chen family in Yingchuan.

Because the people behind the interception of the patron king and the assassination of the household officials were more than a dozen wealthy families headed by the Chen family.

Among them, the Chen family is the backbone who takes the lead.

Cao Zhengchun looked at the head of the Chen family and said softly, "Who is the Zajia? You must already know it in your mind, so you don't need to say more about the Zajia!"

"The Zajia didn't expect that most of you people are actually in the Chen Mansion, but the other Zajia in the province ran away one by one."

Cao Zhengchun looked at the other dozen or so heads of wealthy families behind the head of the Chen family and said.

When the head of the Chen family and others heard this, their hearts trembled.

Obviously, from the connotation in Cao Zhengchun's words, they all heard that Cao Zhengchun not only conveyed orders to the Chen family, but also sought out the principals of more than a dozen major aristocratic families.

Instantly, an unpleasant feeling enveloped their hearts.

"Accept the order!"

Cao Zhengchun stopped talking nonsense and directly took out an imperial edict.

When the head of the Chen family and others saw this, they all immediately knelt down.

In front of the imperial edict, no matter what their status is, they must kneel down to accept the edict.

"His Majesty has a decree. The Chen family is treasonous. Hiring killers from the Killer House to intercept the patron king and assassinate court officials is simply a heinous crime..."

Cao Zhengchun read the imperial edict loudly.
