The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 1428 Tonight, I will massacre Kyoto with blood!
Looking at Zhou Chen, who was dressed in white, had a solemn expression and was handsome, Chen Pingping's eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Is this your first time at the Inspection Institute?"

"Yes, I've heard of the Inspection Bureau for a long time, but I've never been here. I'm in a good mood today, so I came to take a look."

"How do you feel? Are you disappointed?"

"Not disappointed at all. No, I can't say I'm not disappointed at all. I'm still a little disappointed. If I was born 20 years earlier, maybe I could have met that amazing woman. Maybe we could have become good friends."

Zhou Chen smiled. Maybe some people thought Ye Qingmei was a little saintly, but he didn't think so. Instead, he thought she was a woman with a strong personality and strong opinions, and also a little silly.

Could a person who could use a Barrett to snipe two princes of the Qing Kingdom be a saint?
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Chen Pingping fell silent.

friend?

He hadn't heard this word for a long time, and this word made him think of the person in his heart involuntarily.

"I heard that she was murdered by someone, is that right, Dean Chen?"

Chen Pingping's expression changed instantly, and he stared at Zhou Chen sharply.

"how you said that?"

"Nothing, just asking casually. If Dean Chen doesn't want to tell me, forget it. In fact, the result can be seen from this inscription. I have always felt that no matter what ideal or dream a person has, it is only possible to realize it when he is alive. If he dies, then he will really have nothing."

Even though Zhou Chen had lived for so many years, he had never taken life and death lightly. For example, in order to break through to the Grandmaster level, if he had not restarted the card, he would definitely not have tried it at that time. Instead, he would have spent more time and chosen a safer breakthrough method.

Chen Pingping said: "Although some people are dead, they are still alive and live in the hearts of others."

Zhou Chen smiled casually: "That's true, just like some people are not afraid of death at all, but are afraid that no one will remember them after they die."

Chen Pingping frowned slightly. This young man always gave him a very strange feeling. The tone of his voice seemed as if he had experienced a lot, but he just looked like a very young person.

"Sir, you came to the Inspection Institute just to read the inscription?"

"more or less."

Zhou Chen did come here for the inscription. Ye Qingmei and he were not from the same world, but they were from a similar era, so Zhou Chen’s understanding of Ye Qingmei was deeper than that of anyone else in this world.

The world that Ye Qingmei dreams of is the world that most of the lower-class people dream of.

We are all born equal, and everyone is like a dragon.

Listen, how beautiful it is.

But, we can only listen and think about it. After all, we still have to live in the real world.

Chen Pingping seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked a strange question.

"Where are you from, sir?"

"North."

Chen Pingping's eyes suddenly flashed and he stared at Zhou Chen.

"Since you came from the north, you must have heard about the deeds of the fifth great master in the world, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled and nodded: "I've heard a little bit about it."

Chen Pingping continued, "It is rumored that the fifth Grandmaster in the world is a genius. On the night of the full moon on August 15, he fought with Grandmaster Ku He at the Forbidden City and destroyed countless palaces in the Northern Qi imperial palace. Twenty days ago, outside the city of Dongyi, two great swordsmen had a peak duel that lasted for three days and three nights, and the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed."

"Although this fifth Grand Master has not been seen much, the Investigation Bureau has obtained some information about him. He is about 20 years old, with a heroic appearance and a handsome appearance, just like a young master."

"hiss!"

Wang Qinian, who had been staying here all this time, took a deep breath, then looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, digging his toes into the ground and leaning forward.

Zhou Chen smiled at Wang Qinian: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, no, nothing. I'm just nervous."

How could he not be nervous? Chen Pingping had made it so clear. If he still couldn't hear it, then all these years of Wang Qinian's life would have been in vain.

But after guessing it, I was even more shocked. Grand Master, how could Wang have deserved to earn five taels of silver from the Grand Master.

Should I return the five taels of silver? If the Grand Master knew that I had cheated him, would he kill him with his sword?

Otherwise, let’s just run away?

The person who was even more nervous was the shadow behind Chen Pingping. His whole body was tense, and his eyes under the mask looked at Zhou Chen nervously and fearfully, his palms were already sweating.

"The Inspection Institute is indeed powerful, and Director Chen is even more powerful. He recognized me at the first sight."

"I can't say you're amazing. After all, you didn't hide your whereabouts. I just made a guess and got it right by sheer luck."

Although Chen Pingping's tone was relaxed, he did not dare to relax at all. After all, he was facing a grandmaster. Even though he was the director of the Inspection Institute, who was second only to the emperor in Qing Kingdom, he was under great pressure at this moment.

Seeing Zhou Chen's natural expression, he slowly relaxed a little.

"Two months ago, Northern Qi's secret agents hiding in Qing used various methods to investigate and collect intelligence, and finally found their way to Kyoto. The Inspection Bureau took a lot of effort to find out that they were actually looking for information about one person. I didn't understand why they were looking for this person until the Grand Master Battle of the Northern Qi Imperial Palace happened. Then I understood the reason."

"Young Master, at the tender age of twenty, has achieved the status of a supreme Grand Master. This is rare throughout the ages. No matter how much praise you receive, it is difficult to show how talented you are."

Zhou Chen smiled: "It is an honor to be praised by Dean Chen. I am not a genius, I am just lucky."

Chen Pingping took the initiative to invite him, "Sir, if you don't mind, please come in with me. I've prepared some wine for you to drink with me."

The shadow behind him was very surprised to see Chen Pingping's attitude, but when he thought of Zhou Chen's identity as a grandmaster, he felt it was normal.

Who would dare to think about becoming a grandmaster at the young age?

Zhou Chen glanced at the setting sun and politely declined.

"No need today. I've been traveling so hard and finally got home. I won't eat out. Next time, I'll treat Dean Chen. I hope Dean Chen won't refuse then."

"Of course. You don't have to drink other people's wine, but you must drink yours."

Chen Pingping, who was always cold and dignified, always spoke to Zhou Chen in a friendly manner.

"Then it's settled."

Zhou Chen nodded at Chen Pingping and then greeted him.

"Whirlwind, let's go home."

The whirlwind snorted and walked towards Zhou Chen unsteadily. Zhou Chen did not get on the horse, and the man and the horse just walked forward slowly.

Wang Qinian suddenly shouted, "Sir, how about I return the five taels of silver to you?"

Zhou Chen did not look back, but raised his hand, turned his back to Chen Pingping and the others, and waved.

Until Zhou Chen completely disappeared from their sight, Chen Pingping and the other two did not move, but Shadow was the first one who could not hold back.

"Is he really the fifth grandmaster who is associated with Lian Zhan Ku He and Si Gu Jian?"

The news of the emergence of the fifth grandmaster in the world has spread, but who this person is has been rumored to be so mysterious that there are various versions. Not many people know the truth now.

Although he knew that Chen Pingping couldn't be talking nonsense, Shadow still found it hard to accept Zhou Chen's overly young appearance.

I have been practicing for so many years, but I haven't even reached the threshold of grandmaster, while others have become grandmasters at the young age of twenty.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

"if not?"

Chen Pingping said something unhappily, and then ordered Wang Qinian with a serious face: "Wang Qinian."

Wang Qinian bowed hurriedly and replied, "Dean."

Chen Pingping said in a deep voice: "Go to the courtyard, go to the Second Division, and bring me all the information you have collected about the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion in the past three years. Remember, everything."

Wang Qinian did not dare to delay and immediately replied: "Yes, Dean, I will go now."

Having said that, he rushed into the Inspection Institute like flying.

Chen Pingping looked at the direction Zhou Chen left and said quietly, "The fifth Grand Master has returned to Kyoto. It looks like Kyoto is going to be lively again."

Shadow suddenly said, "Dean, do you think I can go and spar with him?"

Chen Pingping snorted contemptuously: "If you want to die, go ahead."

Shadow's tone paused, and he said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be that serious, right? He looks quite friendly."

Chen Pingping was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered, "Push me back."

…………

When Zhou Chen arrived at his door with a whirlwind, he was surprised to find that the sun was shining brightly, but not even the doors of his Earl's Mansion were open. Neither the main door nor the side door was open.

He felt a little strange, but thought that nothing would happen. Probably not many people in Kyoto had seen him or knew him.

But as to the identity of the fifth grandmaster, it is Zhou Chen. Some people in the Qing Kingdom’s upper echelons must have already known about it. Unless they are stupid, they will definitely not target the Earl’s Mansion of Anyuan.

I walked up and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened.

The doorman opened the door and was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Chen.

"Master, you are back?"

"Well, I'm back. Why don't you open the door in broad daylight?"

The doorman Lao He's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Master, something happened in the mansion, someone is bullying us."

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised that he guessed wrong. Someone actually came to his house to bully him.

"Okay, I got it. Go and put the whirlwind away and send the things to my study."

"Yes, Master."

Zhou Chen walked into the mansion, and after just a short while, a group of footsteps were heard running over. When the people in the mansion heard that the young master had returned, all the managers swarmed over.

"Master."

"Master."

"Master."

…………

Zhou Chen did not put on airs and just nodded slightly at them.

Tong Quan and Sun Yi came forward first. They were Zhou Chen’s most trusted confidants in the mansion.

"Master." "Master."

Zhou Chen led them into the front hall. After they sat down at the upper seat, Tong Quan immediately handed them water and towels.

Zhou Chen washed his face and hands, wiped his hands and asked: "When I came in just now, the door of the mansion was not open. Lao He said that something happened in the mansion and someone was bullied. What happened?"

Tong Quan didn't say anything, it was Sun Yi who spoke.

"Master, something happened to the old Dou family..."

"Dad?"

"You are the same as us. You were once the master's personal guard. When the master retired, he had several hundred personal soldiers around him. Except for a few who left Kyoto, most of them settled down in Kyoto with the help of the master. There are also those of us who entered the palace."

"Go on, what happened to the old Dou family?"

Sun Yi continued, "Two days ago, Lao Dou was dragged to our residence with two broken legs."

When he said this, his face was filled with anger and his eyes turned red instantly.

"When the old man came to our residence, he was already covered in wounds. We finally found a doctor to treat him, but the doctor said that the old man's injuries were too severe and he would not live long. The old man said that he wanted to see the young master, otherwise he would die with regrets, so we used ginseng to keep him alive until his last breath, waiting for the young master to come back."

Although Zhou Chen didn't know his uncle, but from what Sun Yi said, he knew that his uncle must have encountered some difficulties and was determined to see him with his last breath.

"It seems that I came back at the right time. Tell me, what happened to my old man who wanted to see me with his last breath?"

Sun Yi suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly.

"My father's family lived in the southern part of the capital and had always been well behaved. But seven days ago, my father's little daughter was forcibly taken back to the mansion by a few young men, led by the son of the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice. She was brutally raped and could not bear the humiliation, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."

"Lao Dou's family took the body to the Dali Temple to file a complaint, but the case was hastily dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Later, Lao Dou's family was retaliated against. Lao Dou injured one person during the resistance, which led to the whole family being beaten. The other party was ruthless. Lao Dou's eldest daughter and her family of three, his son and his family of four, plus his sister-in-law, a total of eight people were beaten to death, leaving only Lao Dou, but Lao Dou's legs were broken and he was severely humiliated."

"Two days ago, my father came to our house and told us about this matter. We took people to the Dali Temple, but they dismissed us casually. Without the young master's order, we dared not cause any trouble, so, so..."

"Master, there are ten people in my family, including you. They are really bullying us. They are really bullying us."

This dignified eighth-rank master burst into tears at the end of his speech, while Tong Quan and others beside him also lowered their heads and remained silent.

What happened to my father is heartbreaking, and the Earl of Anyuan's Mansion is also despised. This kind of humiliation is really painful and infuriating.

Zhou Chen had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes became extremely cold.

He wants to kill someone.

"Where's my father? Take me to see him."

Sun Yi then wiped away his tears and said, "Master, please follow me."

Zhou Chen followed Sun Yi to a guest room, and then saw a skinny old man lying on the bed. He lay there with only weak breathing indicating that he was still alive.

"Master, my father is too badly injured. He can only be kept alive with ginseng. I don't know when he will wake up."

Zhou Chen responded and walked to the bedside. The unconscious old man still had a pale and purple face, which was totally not the complexion of a normal person.

My father is almost exhausted. If he hadn’t come back now, I might not be able to see him again.

He stretched out his fingers, pressed them on Lao Dou's chest, and used his true energy to inject into Lao Dou's body. However, Lao Dou's body was too fragile, so he did not dare to inject too much, fearing that Lao Dou's body could not bear it.

The effect of Ruyi Jin's true Qi was extremely good. The sleepy old man suddenly reacted and slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

"Old man, wake up, wake up, the young master is back, the young master is back."

Sun Yi lay on the edge of the bed, leaned close to his father's ear, and called softly.

The old man, who had just woken up in a daze, heard Sun Yi's words, and his cloudy eyes suddenly widened. Then he saw Zhou Chen standing beside the bed. He seemed to have strength all of a sudden, and his emotions became extremely excited.

"Ho, ho..."

He tried hard to speak, but his throat would not allow him to utter a word. He raised his arms with difficulty, but he had no strength left and could only raise them a little.

Zhou Chen grabbed his hand, held it, looked into his eyes, and spoke firmly.

"Uncle Dou, I'm Zhou Chen. I already know about your situation. Don't worry, leave it to me. I promise you that I will avenge your family. I will make those people pay the price, no matter who they are."

When the old man heard Zhou Chen's words, he looked into Zhou Chen's eyes, his face full of pain, and suddenly he smiled with difficulty?
"Thanks…………"

The sound was barely audible, but Zhou Chen still heard it. However, he only heard one word, because the next moment, the old man lost all his strength, and his eyes slowly closed.

Sun Yi choked up and said, "Master, my father has passed away."

"No, it's not time for him to close his eyes yet."

Zhou Chen carefully put down his father's hand and covered him with a quilt. Then his expression became extremely serious.

"Sun Yi."

"My subordinate is here."

"Go prepare ten coffins, find the remains of all ten members of my father's family, put them in the coffins, and place them in the front yard."

Zhou Chen walked to the door, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and spoke word by word.

"Tonight, I will massacre Kyoto with blood!"
