Thanks to the book friends Smoke Purgatory, Qingshan Zuru for the reward!

……

"Mantis is a chariot!" This is how Cheng Wu described his original clan. He has already packaged himself as a chaotic person who has come to his senses and devoted himself to the wise master. Just like the Taigong of Qi in those days, he tried to do things to Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty.

On the other hand, he is also the "intelligence chief" of Chengyi. Under the authorization of Zhao Wuxi, like an eight-clawed spider, he took advantage of opportunities such as clan relations and divination to spread silk nets all over Chengyi.

So the last time we were grinding the beans at Xiangsi, a few Cheng clan members started to spread rumors on the front, and someone from the back told Cheng Wu.

The wall was pushed down by the crowd, and there were a few vertical servants who were still retained by the Cheng clan. They only needed to buy rice and grain, plus Cheng Wu's empty promise, and they could turn into his little birds. For twelve hours a day, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the master of the Cheng family in the wall. Those dissatisfaction, hatred, and conspiracy will be reported as witches at the first time.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi learned from it that Cheng Weng seemed to be planning something recently. On the days of the Xiagong market, he sent people out of the country to have contacts with his eldest son Cheng He under Zhao Zhongxin's command. It seemed that he wanted to treat Zhao Wuxi. Just fill the treasury of wheat, do something.

"This is the third time." Zhao Wuxi muttered to himself in the village temple.

From the initial refusal to welcome him, to the boycott of Daitianfa and Dongzhong, and this time, Cheng's family has committed suicide three times in a row. Zhao Wuxi felt that he was good enough for them.

After the wheat is cooked, he still has many important things to do. If he allows this internal trouble to continue, he will always be distracted. What's more, there is a saying in later generations that it is easy to block a bright spear, but difficult to defend against a dark arrow.

So he asked his cronies, Yu Xi, to call Cheng Wu to Xiangsi.

……

The black and thin Chengwu had mysterious eyeshadow painted on his face, three bright wild pheasant feathers on his head, and dressed in the attire of the Three Elders. As soon as he entered the door and bowed down, Zhao Wuxi said this to him.

"Yu recently read the Zheng Guo's punishment book sent by Master Deng, and saw an excerpt of a sentence Ji Zhong said in it. I was quite impressed. I shared it with the three elders today."

Zhao Wuxi stared at Cheng Wu, his eyes burning so bright that he dared not look directly, so he could only bow his head and obey.

"Jizhong said to Duke Zhuang of Zheng, "I did it early, and I didn't make it grow. It's hard to figure it out. It's still impossible to get rid of the vines. What's more, it's a problem for my confidants!"

Cheng Wu listened, his heart trembled, thinking of the recent movements of the Cheng clan, gentleman, what is this implying to him?

The meaning of this sentence is that everything should be dealt with as soon as possible, and don't let the root of evil grow and spread, it will be difficult to do once it grows and spreads. Ji Zhong remonstrated many times at that time, asking Zhuang Gong to find an opportunity earlier to get rid of his younger brother Gongshu Duan, who could not lose his tail, so as not to become a serious problem.

However, the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Zhuanggong, prevaricates the past with "doing a lot of injustice will lead to suicide, and Zigu will treat him."

Combining the cause and effect, Zhao Wuyi knew that the black-bellied man Zheng Zhuanggong felt that the time was immature, so he played the trick of first indulging evil and leading betrayal, and then raising troops to suppress it.

But Zhao Wuxi's situation is different. With the degree of his control over Chengxiang now, if he raises his arms, more than a thousand men can lead him. Even with some ruthless means, there can be no major chaos inside.

So, it's time to close the net.

He smiled, took a few steps forward, and said cordially with Cheng Wu's hand: "The three elders of the township have been in office for half a year, and they have achieved remarkable achievements. This is what everyone sees. Cheng Weng is pleased that you are out of the family. Companion, so the day before yesterday sent someone to report, saying that he intends to pass on the position of the Cheng clan's patriarch to you... Look, this is a brochure explaining the matter."

"Patriarch! Me?"

Cheng Wu opened his mouth wide in shock. I have never heard of this, and it is absolutely impossible.

After he took the briefing book and read it from the beginning to the end, he quickly understood it, his forehead suddenly sweated, and his heart was beating wildly.

A suicide note, this is a suicide note written by Cheng Weng!

Today's gentleman seems to have been influenced by the newly acquired Wu Zhongbao sword, and began to show his edge, implying killing intent.

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Wuxi said meaningfully: "I heard that Cheng Weng is ill again, can the three elders come to visit on my behalf?"

Cheng Wu gritted his teeth and said, "This servant understands, I'll go now."

Before he stepped out of the threshold, Zhao Wuxi said something faintly, causing Cheng Wu, who was still a little vacuous in his heart, to almost stumble and fall.

"Yu is not Duke Wen of Jin, so don't let Cheng Weng be Duke Cheng of Wei."

……

Of course, Zhao Wuxi wouldn't let Cheng Wu do this alone. He sent Yu Xi's handsome light knight as his entourage and walked out of the stables slowly as usual. After leaving the sight of the villagers, he used the horse's title and quietly dispersed into five groups outside the Cheng's manor, monitoring them from a distance, and making sure not to let suspicious people escape.

He also asked Tian Ben and Jing to bring two infantry soldiers each, and they accompanied Cheng Wu into the room.

Tian Ben was a desperado, and he hated the Cheng family very much. He was very happy to do some dirty things for Zhao Wuxi, and he would not have any psychological burden.

The one or two of Jing are in good order and are the best candidates to maintain stability.

Wu Xian specially instructed them to remove only the first evil, and not to loot and kill indiscriminately. He didn't want to cause riots and looting, but to make a calm transition after a quick blow.

Yes, to put it simply, it's just for the Cheng family to change the head of the family, and just pick out a few thorns that poke the hand.

Cheng Wu got off the ox cart, walked silently at the front of the team, and stepped into the Cheng family manor again. There is still a small amount of stone wall that was demolished half a year ago, but Cheng Wu has no intention to sigh with emotion. He has been thinking about what the gentleman said before he went out.

Back then, after Duke Wen of Jin returned to China, he hated Wei for being neglected when he was in exile, and was annoyed that Weicheng voted for Chu. So after the victory of the Battle of Chengpu, the allied leaders of the various Xia started to settle accounts after the autumn and sent Wu Zhu to kill him. .

The gentleman is implying him to do things with clean hands and feet, and don't be sloppy.

The maids here seemed to have a premonition that the woods had not been cut down, and the birds had dispersed, so today the lilu gate of the manor was wide open.

The Cheng clan's soldiers had been deprived of them half a year ago, and all their armour had been confiscated by the township temple, leaving only a few timid clansmen who tightly shut their doors for fear of being affected.

So Cheng Wu went all the way without any obstacles, passing through the halls and rooms, but the only obstacle was encountered outside Cheng Weng's residence.

Uncle Cheng was trembling with fear, while Cheng Rong, who had a gloomy face, glared at Cheng Wu who came uninvited. He said:

"Third old man of the township, what are you doing here today?"

Cheng Wu has stabilized his mind~lightnovelpub.net~ He is short and not as tall as the two in front of him, so he raised his head and said: "Visit the old man with a dove stick, it is the responsibility of the three village elders to care for the orphans, widows, the elderly and the weak, not to mention , I'm also a member of the Cheng family, you two, please get out of the way, I'm going in to diagnose and treat A Weng."

Cheng Rong spat at him: "Do you still have the face to call yourself a member of the Cheng clan? Do you need to bring so many soldiers to visit for medical treatment? Or, do you want to send a pot of poison just like dealing with Ji Zi of the Cheng clan?"

Cheng Wu's face was exposed, and he was secretly annoyed, this stubborn person is the obstacle of a gentleman!

If Cheng Weng dies, among the remaining people, Uncle Cheng is cowardly and not to be feared. But this Chenglong is like the stubborn people of the past, and from what Chengwu heard, this person is also the most active person in contact with the outside world.

Cheng Wu is no longer the scumbag who was scolded by others and expelled from the clan like a dog ten years ago. He has a strong backer behind him.

So he narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "Cheng Rong drinks all day, I'm afraid he's drunk, so as not to disturb A-Weng, Tian Sima, how about you take this person down?"

"Wei!" So Cheng Lung was pulled open by Tian Ben from the lintel. He wanted to shout to remind Cheng Weng in the house, but several Zhao soldiers covered their mouths and dragged them to a corner where no one could see.

At first, I could still hear the struggle of the limbs, but after a while, there was no sound at all.

When Tian Ben came back, his face didn't change, except for a few eye-catching blood spots on his cheeks and hands...
