Chapter 1238 The Sky Turned Upside Down
"How's the city going?"
"When I arrived, the house was almost burned down. There were many people gathered around, and government officials were trying their best to put out the fire."
But everything has become a ruin, and no matter how hard we try to save it, nothing can be saved.
Zhou Guo looked at his group of people, at most 200, and asked him, "How many people did you bring back this time?"
Chu Dangjia frowned, "One hundred and twenty, not many."
He is going out to work, not to fight, so how many people can there be?
Zhou Guo nodded, took out a purse from his bosom and handed it to the head of the personal guards, "I remember there is a garrison 80 miles east of the city, which was just established by the Third Young Master not long ago. Take this and go there quickly!"
"Yes!" The personal soldiers mounted their horses and rode away quickly.
Since they don't have many people, she will call for external aid, the Chen family. It's impossible that all the people in the city belong to his family, right?
My stomach growled.
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the city to eat."
She will feel better now.
You just can't enter the city with great fanfare, you have to be low-key.
Break it up into small pieces and walk around the streets without anyone noticing.
Zhou Guo changed into low-key clothes, sat in the restaurant, and ate a crab with relish.
The crabs from the north still taste a bit lacking, not as fresh. I don’t know if it’s because I ate too much of them.
The head of the Chu family across from her watched her eat with such gusto that she finished a crab in just a few bites and spat out a bunch of shells from her mouth. He shook his head and said, "What flavor can you taste if you eat a mouthful of shells?"
Zhou Guo looked up and saw him holding the eight crab pieces, tapping and cutting them, and said with a click of the tongue, "If you eat like this, you can't get any meat into your mouth for a long time, and you only get a little meat in one mouthful. Can you really get addicted?"
For her, every bite she takes is yellow, and every bite she takes is meat. Although she has to spit out the shells, after eating them for so many years, when she spits out the shells now, there isn't any meat left at all, but there isn't much left either.
It’s so delicious, you can eat as much as you want.
After saying that, he stuffed the remaining half back into his mouth.
The head of the Chu family was helpless. "You are a girl after all. Don't be so unrestrained when eating. How can anyone eat crabs like you? You eat like a bandit. Others will think you have never eaten crabs in your life."
Zhou Guo sneered, "I have never eaten crabs in my entire life? People like you are from poor families. You can eat one crab a day, but I can eat a hundred crabs a day and eat until I vomit."
After saying that, her eyes lit up, "There are so many crabs here, I should also make some land and raise some?"
The crabs here are different from those in the north. Yangcheng Lake crabs are so famous in later generations, she has to pack one no matter what. She doesn't want to sell it, but she has to have enough for herself, right?
"I'm not greedy. I just need to get a piece of lake surface and raise hundreds of thousands of crabs every year."
The head of Chu nodded twice, "That's fine, where do you want to keep it, young master?"
He is so close, so he can eat as much as he wants every year.
It’s really good to have the food at home and not be able to finish it even if you fill your stomach.
Zhou Guo waved her hand and said, "Take one for each. I don't mind having too many crabs. If I can't finish them, I can just sell them."
She decided to visit all these famous places, such as Gucheng Lake, Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake...
Raise as many as you want, so she won’t have to worry about food.
He said to Chu Dangjia: "When we raise crabs ourselves in the future, you will be able to eat them as generously as I do."
Mr. Chu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was not like he was eating like this just because he couldn't afford it.
Zhou Guo said: "Try it, try how I eat it. Can't we afford a few crabs? If it's not enough, I'll give you ten more."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chu put down his fork and imitated Zhou Guo, putting the food into his mouth and chewing it roughly.
Zhou Guo laughed happily. That’s right. We were all sitting at the same table, so how could one be elegant while the other be unrestrained when eating crabs? It would be better if both of us were unrestrained and no one should look down on anyone else.
They were enjoying their meal, but they didn't know that the Lord on the other side was about to hang himself.
He said anxiously, "There's no sign of him alive or dead, could it be that he grew wings and flew away? If someone comes from above, how am I going to explain it to them? I might as well just die here."
He called the master of the Chen family over, pointed at him and asked, "Where did you take the person?"
Master Chen played dumb, "Sir, where did you take him?"
"Don't play dumb. The escort agency was burned to ashes. If I remember correctly, your son was also in the escort agency. Was your son among the dead? It's obvious that you did it. Hand him over quickly if you know what's best for you. Otherwise, if someone from the Xu family comes, Jinling will be flooded with blood because of you!"
Master Chen snorted, "I am not afraid of anything, sir. You are talking too seriously. Don't forget that the imperial court has not fallen yet, and his Xu family has not ascended to the throne. Besides, even if they really ascend to the throne one day, his Xu family is still a traitor and will be killed by everyone. What should I be afraid of?
Only people like you who have sold out their masters for fame and fortune and have lost their integrity would respect the Xu family!"
clap clap clap!
The Lord of the Mansion clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, you speak so righteously, Master Chen, I am not as good as you. I hope that when the Xu family comes to find you, you can still be as stubborn as you are now. Only then will I respect you as a real man!"
The two broke up unhappy.
The subordinate asked: "Sir, since you know he did it, why don't you arrest him and force him to hand him over?"
The Lord of the Mansion said, "The Chen family has been operating in Jinling for so many years, they are not vegetarians. Besides, this is just my guess, there is no evidence, and it cannot convince the public."
He couldn't do anything without evidence, otherwise everyone in Jinling City would be panicked.
The Chen family was also in a gloomy mood. Zhou Guo and his group disappeared from the house out of thin air. No bodies were found, and no one came out. Where could they have gone?
The old lady asked, "So many people have been mobilized to look for it, but you still haven't found it?"
Master Chen shook his head heavily, "No, it seems that there is no such person in the whole city."
Fatty Chen on the side said, "Dad, why don't you take care of her? It's better if she doesn't come out. She must be afraid of us. It's better for her to never come again."
The Chen family was making a big fuss in Jinling. Zhou Guo hid in the dark and watched them mobilize their forces. He said to Chu, "You know what, this Chen family is quite capable. They have so many people working for them. I don't know how many of them are relatives and old friends."
Chu Dangjia said: "What's the use of that? Won't you put him in jail in a few days?"
Zhou Guo said: "Even if I don't deal with them, someone else will."
The Chen family searched Jinling for several days but failed to find Zhou Guo.
Now it was Zhou Guo's turn.
The personal guards led three thousand troops to station outside the city. These people were all the Xu family soldiers who were good at fighting. Three thousand were more than enough.
When the Lord of the Mansion received the news, he slumped in his chair and said, "It's over, it's over. It's obvious that they want someone to come. Where can I find them?"
The Chen family also got the news. When they heard that it was Xu's army, they were a little scared and hurriedly wanted to send their children away.
But it was too late, the Chen family’s house had been surrounded.
