Chapter 348
"Hey, I see, all of this is your plan to bite me." She said so, blaming him for being a bitch, but instead of pushing him away, she gently stroked his head.

The future plot is too bitter for him.

Just pamper him more.

Since Chu Shihong and his wife left, Nan Luo felt that the time flow in this world was getting faster and faster, and important plot points were settled in a jump. In the blink of an eye, it was three months later.

In the original plot, the last time Chu Shihong and his wife came to Jincheng to visit Chu Luochuan was the last time the father and son saw each other in this life.

And the death of Chu Shihong and his wife had something to do with the later event that Chu Luochuan and Zhou Heting turned against each other.

The people who personally killed and witnessed Chu Shihong's murder were the top families of the Yaocheng Chamber of Commerce.

And behind the scenes, it was Zhou Heting's father, Zhou Congwei, the ruler of the Zhou family's realm, who was behind the scenes.

As early as two years ago in Yaocheng, Zhou Congwei was very optimistic about Chu Shihong, although one was a soldier, and the other was a businessman whose status was hard to compare with that of a military officer no matter how rich he was.

But because Zhou Congwei needed the help of the Chu family's property at the beginning, he unexpectedly saw a resilience in Chu Shihong. His family and country feelings and broad mind.

When Zhou Congwei mentioned the great cause of the unification of the mountains and rivers, the ancestral training of the Zhou family, and the yearning and passion for defending the country and defending the country and resisting foreign enemies when he was young, Chu Shihong's eyes also shone with light.

Chu Shihong agreed to the governor of Zhou, the Chu family will do everything for the Zhou family, and together with him, the goal is to unify the country and prevent foreign enemies from invading.This moved Zhou Congwei very much, and even felt that he had found a confidant among these businessmen who had done nothing to protect the country.

However, in the vision and ambition of a ruler, confidantes are far less important than holding power.

The Chu family has always kept a low profile in the business world, but they own a wide range of industries. In terms of providing military supplies, because of their strong financial resources and generosity for the country, they completely solved the dilemma that the Zhou family's army had in the past in terms of military supplies.

The territory under the jurisdiction of the Zhou family was not considered weak in the five territories divided by the five major warlord families. However, Zhou Congwei recruited troops in order to expand his military power in recent years, and his treasury was empty for a while.

In these situations, the other four major families all stood in the ruling class, overlooking the vast mountains and rivers, but they only occupied such a piece. Who wouldn't like to accumulate some military power in private?
Therefore, when the Zhou family's army, especially the new army, which is not small in number and size, is filled with energy from the money sprinkled by the Chu family, it is only one battlefield away from running aggressively to fight.The other four major families had to be impatient.

The Chu family gradually became a thorn in the eyes of the other three families except the Zhou family and the Bai family.At that time, Zheng Dudu, who regretted driving away the "son-in-law", even wanted to win over Chu Shihong.

But that time at the Zhou and Bai's engagement banquet, he saw his grandson Chu Luochuan who was unfamiliar with him, and learned that Chu Shihong had always treated his father-in-law as air, Master Zheng couldn't hold back his face.

Let's talk about the cause of Chu Shihong's death.

The Chu family worked for the Zhou family, and was promoted all the way by the Zhou family, expanding the industry to a great extent, and even directly manufacturing military items, not only in terms of food and clothing, the Zhou family sent many weapon experts and Western medicine to the Chu family Go to the established production base.

Although the Chu family was rich in the past, they were only merchants with the same reputation as other rich merchants, but now they are favored and favored by the Zhou family, and their status has directly jumped to the top.The other families of Yaocheng Commercial Bank had a vague premonition that the Zhou family's great career would be successful.
Wouldn't it be easy for the Chu family to monopolize all the popular industries in this vast land in the future?
The big families of Yaocheng Commercial Bank all became jealous, and wanted to let Governor Zhou see that before the Chu family monopolized everything, there was not only one Chu family in the world who could be loyal to the boss.

Zhou Congwei received the flattery from these families. At first, the Chu family had already solved all the Zhou family's military problems, so he didn't take these flattery to heart.

Until, someone around him reported to him, saying: "The Chu family is secretly accepting hospitality from other warlord families."

Coincidentally, the person who reported was a spy.

Zhou Congwei also knew that this person was a spy.

He planned to push the boat along the way, and planned to ask Chu Shihong to help him play a piece of "The Chu family and a certain warlord family are indeed secretly acting, and Zhou Congwei has become suspicious of the Chu family", which confused and misunderstood the other warlord families. Which one did you help?Has the Zhou family's financial investment in military supplies stagnated again?

Chu Shihong took the order.

Not long after, he passed the border between Zhou's family and Yu's family, received the kindness of Yu's family, and went to Yu's house as a guest.

But before he came to the Yujia territory, Gang and Zhou Congwei had a disagreement on "whether to encourage the people to invest in the construction of military supplies".From the perspective of a ruler, Zhou Congwei is more concerned about whether the army is strong or not.As a businessman, Chu Shihong lived a prosperous life since he was a child, but he has also seen the suffering of the people.

After a night of discussion, the differences of opinion were harmonious on the surface, but after Chu Shihong left, Zhou Congwei was not happy, and secretly said: businessman, money bank, it is better to be sensible and obedient.

Without the Chu family, there are still a group of people fighting for favor.

Chu Shihong accepted the Yu family's hospitality. Since it was an act, he had to be cautious. He gave an ambiguous answer to the Yu family's temptation and intentional wooing, and then prepared to leave.

The Yu family felt that they couldn't just let him go.

Since it has become a threat, and it is impossible to digest the profit by itself, then simply kill it.Just like the four members of the Nan family who killed and assisted the Shen family back then, if they were killed, they would never be troubled again.

However, Chu Shihong was cautious, after leaving Yu's mansion, he found something was wrong that night.Guessing that the Yu family might have murderous intentions towards him, they sent someone to monitor him, but they couldn't do it immediately.

He secretly thought: The Yu family probably didn't dare to stir up conflicts with the Zhou family on the surface, so that the Yu family would have the upper hand in morals, and it would not sound good if it was spread out, so the members of the Yu family are waiting for the opportunity.

Chu Shihong took this opportunity to take Yun Qiushui to evade the killer sent by the Yu family on the train leaving the Yu family's boundary, and got off the train in a small town ahead of time, and after waiting for a few days, he brought his wife back to Yao City. I thought that when I got home, everything would be all right.

But did not expect
He would be poisoned by a group of people who had called him brothers and sisters for many years at a routine gathering of the Yaocheng Chamber of Commerce.

Yun Qiushui, who attended the banquet that night, couldn't accept that her husband suddenly fell unconscious during the banquet, so she became suspicious, and was strangled to death by a wealthy businessman, and went away with the child in her womb.

Zhao Jingyu's father collected the corpses for the family of three, and the Yaocheng Chamber of Commerce reported to the outside world: "Master Chu was poisoned by his enemies many years ago, and his wife and unborn child were killed together."
