Chapter 1430: Carrying the coffin, Emperor Qing plots

It’s the hour of You!
Seeing that no one had come in for a long time, Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the chair, slowly stood up. As he stood up, everyone in the yard's eyes were focused on him.

For these veterans, they respect their deceased uncle, but when Zhou Chen, as the heir, encountered difficulties, they still came here one after another. This is their loyalty.

They didn’t know what kind of person Zhou Chen was, nor did they know what Zhou Chen wanted to do, but as long as Zhou Chen gave an order, they would execute it.

At least this time, they will carry it out.

They are not warriors who will die for their own loyalty.

Facing all the gazes, Zhou Chen had a stern expression. As he waved his hand, a large box was lifted up.

When the box was opened, it was filled with silver, at least several thousand taels.

"My dear uncles, I know that you all came here for my father's sake, but no matter what, being here is a gesture of friendship."

"Everyone already knows why I called you here. Yes, it's to avenge my father. Ten lives were lost. This blood debt must be avenged."

"But I also know that everyone has their own lives now. What we are going to do this time will ignore the law, and we may even lose our lives in the process, so I won't force you. I am already very happy that you can come. If you want to leave, I will have no objection. Those who want to leave can take 100 taels from here and leave. However, those who take the silver and leave will no longer have any relationship with the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, and will not be allowed to claim the name of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion in the future."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chen stopped talking and looked away calmly.

Gradually, voices began to rise in the courtyard. Even though everyone came for loyalty and righteousness, the one hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money for many people.

But most people just stood there motionless, not even looking at the white silver.

The 'gambler' was holding a sword wrapped in cloth, his eyes swept over the eighteen star guards wearing constellation masks, his face full of seriousness.

As a ninth-rank swordsman, he could feel how powerful these masked men in black were. It seemed that this was the strength of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

But when his eyes fell on Zhou Chen, he felt very strange. This young master didn't seem to be simple, but he couldn't say specifically. In short, he was very weird.

What he was most curious about now was what Young Master Zhou Chen wanted to do.

Human life must be repaid with human life, but whose life should be used? How can it be done?

After a long while, no one went to take the silver and left, which made Zhou Chen feel much better.

So he waved his hand and asked someone to take the silver away, and then spoke again.

"Since no one has chosen to leave, from today on, all of you will belong to me, Zhou Chen. From now on, I will be your backer."

Tong Quan took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Our young master is the fifth grandmaster in the world."

"boom!"

These words shocked everyone, and they all looked at Zhou Chen who was standing in front of them in disbelief.

Young Master Zhou Chen, is he a grandmaster?
For them, this was really a difficult thing to accept. Young Master Zhou Chen hadn't even been crowned and inherited the title yet, so how could he be a grandmaster?

Zhou Chen did not give any explanation, but directly proved it with actions.

He just stood there motionless, stretched out his right hand and waved forward.

The 'gambler' holding the sword suddenly shook, and then the sword in his arms began to vibrate. Even though he grabbed it hard, it finally slipped out of his control.

"Whoosh!"

The sword escaped from the control of the "gambler" and flew into Zhou Chen's hands.

Zhou Chen grasped the hilt of the sword and shook it lightly. The cloth on the sword instantly cracked, revealing the sword body.

"What a sword!"

The gambler looked at Zhou Chen in horror. He had used this sword for decades. As long as he carried it with him, no one could snatch it from him.

But just now, Zhou Chen just made a casual move and actually took the sword away from his hand. He is a ninth-rank cultivator, and even those above the ninth-rank cultivator could not do that.

The only explanation is, is Young Master Zhou Chen really a grandmaster?

Zhou Chen quickly answered their questions. He just waved the sword in his hand lightly. A sword energy passed in front of him, and a gully dozens of feet long appeared in the courtyard in an instant.

A ninth-rank swordsman might be able to cause strong damage, but to be able to create sword energy and cause such destructive power with just a light swing of the sword like Zhou Chen did is definitely not something a ninth-rank swordsman can do.

Everyone's eyes turned towards Zhou Chen with burning enthusiasm. Grand Master! Young Master Zhou Chen, who is not even an adult yet, has already become a Grand Master. What a terrifying talent and ability this is.

With Grandmaster Zhou Chen leading the way, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice means nothing.

Originally many people were ready to do things with the belief of risking their lives, but after Zhou Chen displayed his strength as a grandmaster, while they were excited, they also realized that this time they might not need to risk their lives at all.

Even in Kyoto, the Grand Master is definitely the one standing at the top.

Royal relatives, powerful and wealthy people are everywhere in Kyoto.

But there were only four grand masters in the world before, and now Zhou Chen is the fifth grand master, so there are only five grand masters in the whole world.

With the status and strength of a grandmaster, he can maintain equality even when facing the emperor.

Zhou Chen swung the sword in his hand, and the sword fell into the hands of the "gambler" very accurately.

The 'gambler' clenched the sword in his hand with an extremely complicated expression. Why was there such a big difference between this sword, which he had used for decades, in his hand and in Zhou Chen's hand?

"Blood debts must be repaid with blood. Tonight, we will avenge our father's family!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood, blood debt must be paid with blood..."

Everyone in the courtyard roared in anger, and in an instant, morale reached its peak.

Half an hour later, the main gate of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion opened wide, and under the watchful eyes of spies from all forces, a group of men in black slowly walked out.

The first men in black who came out were all wearing star masks, while the ones behind them were not wearing masks. But what was really surprising was that there were people carrying coffins out at the back.

One, two, three...ten!

There were ten coffins in total. Four people carried one coffin and walked steadily to the road outside.

More than a hundred people, dressed in black, carried ten coffins, which gave people a very depressing feeling from a distance.

Seeing this situation, those who were responsible for surveillance in secret also became nervous. Although many people guessed that there might be movement in the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, they still didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so decisive and take action that day without waiting for a day.

Except for the people carrying the coffin, everyone else was riding on horses. There was only one carriage in the crowd, which was Zhou Chen's carriage.

"set off!"

Following Zhou Chen's order, the team immediately took action with an astonishing momentum.

It had already gotten dark, but there were still pedestrians on the road. However, no matter who they were, when they saw this team, they all avoided them in horror, and no one dared to stop them.

In the palace, Eunuch Hou reported the situation to Emperor Qing in a panic.

Emperor Qing was quite surprised after hearing this: "Carrying a coffin? This Grandmaster Xiao Zhou is really interesting. He wants to pay blood debt with blood and kill people to establish his authority."

"His Majesty."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him. He is a great master after all. He just wants to kill a few people to vent his anger. Let him do what he wants. I just want to see his methods."

Be it the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice or the families of the other two young masters, he did not take them seriously. They were all just his pawns.

Although what happened to Lao Dou's family was not instigated by him, he did have some calculations for the follow-up, otherwise how could such a tragic case in which ten people were killed and the Earl of Anyuan's mansion was also destroyed without causing any waves?

He just wanted to take advantage of the situation and see what kind of personality Zhou Chen, the newly promoted fifth grandmaster and the most talented young grandmaster among the five grandmasters, had.

The Grand Master is a human being, but he is not really a human being. Grand Masters all have their own different human natures.

Take Ye Liuyun for example. Ye Liuyun is a grandmaster, but because he cares about the Ye family very much, he is controlled by the Ye family and becomes a hidden knife in his hand.

So he wanted to use this incident to see if he could find a way to control the young master Zhou Chen.

As for the lives of other people, Zhou Chen can kill them as he pleases.

Changxin Palace.

The charming eldest princess Li Yunrui was casually cutting the wick, listening to the maid's report and laughing crazily.

"Carrying a coffin? It's in line with his youthful vigor."

"Besides being good at fighting, An Yuanbo has no other skills, but his son is indeed an outstanding talent. He is a 19-year-old Grandmaster, the only one in the world. Even the four great Grandmasters are not as good as him. Although I haven't met him yet, I have a feeling that he must be a very charming man who can make women fascinated by him."

Throwing the scissors in her hand to the maid, she walked to the bed and lay down on her side gracefully and naturally.

"The Grand Master has taken action. It seems that the families of Huang Shilang from the Ministry of Justice will not be able to escape tonight."

"Your Highness, this is Kyoto after all, under the feet of the emperor. Even if you are a great master, you can't slaughter court officials at will, right?"

The maid's words made Li Yunrui laugh wildly again.

"That's because you haven't seen the Grand Master's methods, and you don't know His Majesty's character. Let alone a mere Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, even if the Minister of Justice was killed by the Grand Master, His Majesty wouldn't say anything. The Grand Master is one country for one, do you really think it's just a rumor?"

"What's more, this is a young Grandmaster, a Grandmaster who has not yet reached adulthood. He is so amazingly talented that he makes people astonished and afraid. Our Majesty is so smart, would he offend him for those people?"

Li Yunrui knew very well what kind of person Emperor Qing was. He always put profit first. How could he offend a young grandmaster with unlimited potential and a great reputation just for the sake of a few court officials' families?

"Zhou Chen is a grandmaster who is younger and more promising than Ye Liuyun. If we can win him over, then..."

Li Yunrui is an ambitious woman. With a genius like Zhou Chen right in front of her, how could she not want to recruit him?

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the two most competitive princes for the throne, were also staring at Zhou Chen, but the Crown Prince was more gloating because the Vice Minister of Justice was the Second Prince's man.

At exactly 12 o'clock in the morning, the team carrying the coffin arrived at the Huang Mansion and stopped suddenly.

The culprits who led to the annihilation of Lao Dou's family were a few playboys headed by the young master of the Huang family.

The door to the Huang Mansion was locked and there was no sound around, making it seem extremely quiet and gloomy.

With such a big scene at the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, how could the Huang family, as the culprit, not know about it? During this time, they also made preparations.

"Master, we're here."

Zhou Chen in the carriage ordered, "Surround them. No dog is allowed to escape without my order."

"Yes."

The men in black quickly divided into two teams and surrounded the Huang Mansion from front to back.

"Star Guards, listen up! Break down the door and pull everyone out of the Huang Mansion."

"Yes."

The Eighteen Constellations responded loudly and then rushed towards the Huang Mansion. The door of the Huang Mansion was easily smashed open by them, and then they rushed into the mansion to arrest people.

In an instant, there was a commotion in the Huang Mansion, with screams, cries, crying, and cursing coming one after another, creating a complete chaos.

Soon, one after another, people were pulled out by the Eighteen Constellations. They were scolded and made to squat on the ground. Under the threat of swords and knives, the crying people dared not make a sound anymore.

As several people in brocade clothes were forcibly dragged out, they were shouting angrily, but the Eighteen Constellations didn't tolerate them at all. They slapped them several times, leaving them with bruises and swollen faces and blood spitting out of their mouths.

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, the Minister of Justice, a third-rank official. How dare you, a savage, commit such a crime in the foothills of Kyoto? I must report you to His Majesty..."

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The Tiangangxing and Tianhuixing who captured him didn't care what he said at all. They only listened to Zhou Chen's orders. Not to mention a third-rank official, even if it was a prime minister, as long as Zhou Chen gave the order, they would beat him.

After being slapped several times, Minister Huang was stunned and his head was buzzing.

Tian Gangxing came to the carriage and reported: "My Lord, five people are missing, Minister Huang's eldest son, youngest son, and three grandsons."

"Got it. I've asked Sun Yi to catch him. He'll be back soon."

As if to verify his words, after a while, Sun Yi brought other stars here, and they were also escorting a group of people who looked like they had lost their lives.

Sun Yi came to report as soon as possible.

"Master, the eldest son, the youngest son, and the three grandsons of the Huang family have all been brought here, as well as the two families of the two playboys who persecuted Old Dou's daughter."

Zhou Chen lifted the curtain and slowly walked down from the carriage. Suddenly, everyone looked at him.

The Huang family, the Wei family, and the Ma family, a total of three families, were now all being held together by the Star Guards, with more than forty people. As for the servants and maids of the Huang family, they were all driven aside.

He waved his hand, and the coffin bearers immediately placed the coffins on the open space in front of the three families. There were a total of ten coffins, neatly placed together.

Seeing the ten coffins, the three families were all terrified. They all knew why they were captured, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen was so bold as to completely ignore Kyoto and the law and forcibly capture people.

The group of black-clad men in front of them were so terrifying. They did resist when they were captured, but the other party was very brutal and killed without blinking an eye. Countless guards and guardians at home who resisted were killed or injured, but they still could not stop them from being captured.

Minister Huang was forced to kneel down, with large swollen patches on both sides of his face, but he still shouted angrily.

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, a third-rank official. How dare you punish me privately? What do you think of the laws of Qing Kingdom?"

Zhou Chen walked over with a cold gaze and looked down at him.

"You still have the nerve to talk to me about the law?"

"you……"

"Shut his mouth."

Minister Huang wanted to speak, but Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he had someone cover his mouth and then turned to look to the other side.

Not far away, a team of city guards were rushing towards the Huang Mansion. Zhou Chen and his team had attracted countless people's attention all the way from Anyuan Earl's Mansion to the Huang Mansion, but no one dared to stop them. This team of city guards also rushed here after receiving orders.

The leading general shouted loudly: "Faster, faster!"

Suddenly, the warhorse he was sitting on neighed, and in front of the general's terrified face, he saw something suddenly fly out of the dark sky and nailed to the ground in front of him.

He reined in his horse in horror, cold sweat pouring down his body. If he had moved forward a little bit, he would have died.

Just as he was still in shock, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Whoever crosses this sword will die!"

I'm sorry. I drank until about five in the morning last night and blacked out. I still have a headache now. Drinking has delayed things, so I will only update once today. I have to go out of town early tomorrow morning for something, so I guess I won't be home until very late. If I really don't have time to update tomorrow, I'll let you know in advance.
