Chapter 39 Blackmail

The moment Shen Rong said these words, Chu Xiu's face twitched slightly, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.

Colluding with bandits and killing people. Of course Chu Xiu knew what kind of crime it was, it was a crime that would kill him!

Chu Xiu maintained his composure on his face, stood up and said coldly: "Steward Shen, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately! I'm not crazy, how could I do such crazy things?"

Shen Rong said lightly: "Yes, you are not crazy, but what you Chuxiu did is unimaginably crazy."

Said, Shen Rong pointed to the servant behind him and said: "Wang Er, Mr. Chuxiu seems to have no impression of you, please say a few words so that Mr. Chuxiu can remember it well."

The servant named Wang Er stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chuxiu, I remember clearly the scene when you seriously injured Lian Lao San with a single knife in Nanshang Mang Mountain.

It was Ma Kuo who killed you for you back then, I ran fast and escaped with my life by luck. It's good now, you are brazenly bringing Ma Kuo with you, you are not so courageous. "

Chu Xiu closed his eyes, he finally knew where the problem was, but it could only be called a coincidence, a helpless coincidence.

At the beginning, Chu Xiu chose Ma Kuo to help him, one reason was that Ma Kuo was strong and bold.

The second reason is that Ma Kuo had almost never made a move in Beishang Mang Mountain, and although he had made a few shots in Nanshang Mang Mountain, he did not leave anyone alive.

And the only time anyone knew about the relationship between Ma Kuo and Chu Xiu was when Ma Kuo met Chu Xiu for the first time, when Chu Xiu hired Ma Kuo to help kill the third son.

Even the number of bandits under Lao San's command was quite large, so Ma Kuo just defeated them and killed some of them, but not all of them.

And Chu Xiu really didn't consider this at the time, because even the people under the command of the third child were bandits, so they didn't dare to enter Tongzhou mansion easily.

Unexpectedly, there was such a person among them, who not only returned to Tongzhou Mansion, but also joined the Shen family, was favored by Shen Rong, and finally pointed out Ma Kuo's identity.

All of this can only be said to be a coincidence, and Chuxiu should be unlucky.

Opening his eyes, Chu Xiu sat down again, and said in a deep voice, "So Housekeeper Shen means to ask me for a hush money?"

Seeing Chu Xiu calm down so quickly, Shen Rong was a little taken aback.

Just now he refused to admit it, but now that he has definite evidence and puts on such an appearance for granted, this mentality alone is considered a character.

Of course, Shen Rong didn't think too much about it. His mind is now full of the property of the Li family. Hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's right, Chu Xiu, I advise you to be more sensible and obediently treat all the property of the Li family." Hand it over, otherwise this matter will spread, and your fate will be even more miserable than that of your fourth brother, Chushang, who has been abolished by you!"

Chu Xiu frowned and said: "Steward Shen, you are too difficult for others. I have already handed over two-thirds of the Li family's property to the family, and I only have one-third in my hands. Where can I give it to you?" Get two-thirds?"

Shen Rong waved his hand indifferently, and said with a sneer: "I don't care about this kind of thing, anyway, I only look at the result and don't ask about the process.

I'll give you ten days here. If I can't see anything after ten days, you should know the result. At that time, Chu Zongguang may kill his relatives righteously! "

Chu Xiu said expressionlessly: "Is this really impossible to discuss?"

Shen Rong stood up, tapped Chu Xiu's shoulder, and proudly said: "Others can discuss it, but you, Chu Xiu, are the only ones who are not qualified to discuss it. You just need to remember one thing. Your handle now falls on me. hands!"

'puff! '

With a soft sound, Shen Rong's smile froze on his face, and he looked at Chu Xiu's short knife that pierced his chest at some point in disbelief, and said hoarsely, "I... I am the Shen family. Butler, you dare to kill me?"

Chu Xiu didn't answer him, but just covered Steward Shen's mouth, twisted the dagger in his hand, and after Steward Shen struggled to die, he pushed him to the ground and looked at Wang Er.

At this moment, Wang Er was frightened into a fool. Seeing Chu Xiu's eyes, he just wanted to yell, but Chu Xiu directly threw a dagger and nailed him to the ground.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Chu Xiu couldn't help frowning.

It wasn't because of Steward Shen's ridicule that he killed Steward Shen just now. He was not so low-level, and after being ridiculed for a few words, he lost his temper and lost his mind.

It was Steward Shen's last sentence that really made Chu Xiu murderous, and his handle had already fallen into the hands of Steward Shen!

This time, Steward Shen asked Chu Xiu to ask for two-thirds of the Li family's property, and Chu Xiu could give one-third of it. After he calculated it, it was possible to get another third.

But the problem is that people's greed is unlimited. Since Steward Shen has grasped Chu Xiu's handle, and if Chu Xiu succumbed the first time, there will be a second and a third time.

The handle has already fallen into the hands of the other party, and of course the other party can handle it as he wants.

But this kind of thing happens to be absolutely intolerable to Chu Xiu, so Shen Rong must die!

At this time, Gao Bei outside heard the movement and quickly pushed the door in, but when he saw the corpse on the ground, his expression changed suddenly, and he just wanted to exclaim, but immediately covered his mouth, closed the door and faced him. Chu Xiu whispered in horror: "Master! Why did you kill the Shen family!?"

Gao Bei really didn't understand, it was fine before, how could Chu Xiu kill the members of the Shen family in just such a short time.

Chu Xiu didn't seem like the kind of irrational person either. The Li family was weaker than their Chu family. As long as the family was settled, Chu Xiu could kill him however he wanted.

But now this is a member of the Shen family, and Shen Rong, the chief housekeeper of the Shen family, now they are in trouble!

Chu Xiu pulled out the dagger from the corpse, shook off the blood on the knife, and said lightly: "They want to die by themselves, and threaten me with the matter of Ma Kuo. If they don't kill them, I will be the one who is unlucky."

Gao Bei said with a sad face: "Young Master, I was worried at the beginning that your cooperation with those gangsters was unreliable, but now people have found out, what should I do now, you killed the big housekeeper of the Shen family, It’s not that easy to pass.”

The Shen family was no better than the Li family, of course he knew it would not be that easy to pass the test, but when he started killing people, Chu Xiu had already thought of an excuse.

He took out the evidence written by Li Cheng to Shen Rong from Shen Rong's body, which stated Shen Rong's conditions and Li Cheng's promise.

"Some people have sent excuses to the door. It is actually easy to pass the test."

Chu Xiu looked at the corpse and said, "Clean up the corpse and follow me back to Chu's house."

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Gao Bei was speechless for a while.

The young master's ability to handle affairs is strong, but his ability to cause trouble is even stronger.

When Chu Xiu returned to the Chu family, he immediately called for Steward Chen and asked him to invite Chu Zongguang out, and also called all the elders and some stewards of the Chu family.

Although Chen Butler was wondering what was going on with Chu Xiu, he didn't ask too much. After all, Chu Xiu's status in the Chu family was no longer what it used to be.

When Chu Zongguang came to the meeting hall, other people also arrived, but Chu Zongguang had a look of impatience on his face.

He hates people to disturb him the most, but recently, Chu Xiu is the one who disturbs him the most.

"What's the matter? Didn't I warn you last time, and told you not to cause trouble."

Chu Xiu bowed his head and said, "I killed Shen Rong, the chief steward of the Shen family."

"What!?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chu Zongguang directly crushed the teacup that he was just about to hand to his mouth, and the other elders also looked horrified.

Chu Zongguang pointed at Chu Xiu, his hands were trembling with anger, he yelled: "Chu Xiu! What do you want to do? You dare to kill anyone, do you give you the strength, you dare to kill even the suzerain of the Canglan Sword Sect?" kill?"

Chu Xiu took out the evidence written by Li Cheng to Shen Rong and said: "Father, please read this, it's not that I want to kill Shen Rong, but that what Shen Rong did was too much!

The Li family wanted to kill me, so Shen Rong was an accomplice, and afterward, he even wanted to control my Chu family for two-thirds of the Li family's property, which is simply domineering and arrogant.

The boy was out of breath and gave Shen Rong a knife. Who would have thought that his strength was so poor that I killed him without even blocking him. "

The other elders also frowned when they saw what was written on the paper.

To be honest, what Shen Rong did was indeed a little too much, using their Chu family as a bargaining chip, and blackmailing them after the Li family was defeated, it was simply not taking their Chu family seriously.

It's just that if it was them, even if they were insulted face to face by Shen Rong, they would not dare to kill.

Although Shen Rong is only the housekeeper of the Shen family, his status in the Shen family is definitely the number one person under the head of the family.

The Shen family's Shen Bai, who joined the Canglan Sword Sect, and the current Patriarch Shen Mo were both brought up by him, and even Shen Mo used to call him Uncle Rong when he was a child.

Later, Shen Mo took over as the head of the family and beheaded several elders in a row, causing the descendants of the Shen family to tremble. The status of those Shen family members was really not as high as that of Shen Rong, a housekeeper.
