Chapter 528 Who Is the Little Guy?

Under the Lion Rock, Zheng Jizhi’s banquet venue.

There were still blood stains on the single sofa that originally symbolized respect, and the gap made by the rifle looked like an ugly smiling face, silently greeting Liu Dian.

"Is this where my uncle was killed?"

Liu Dian sat on the sofa without any scruples and looked at the young man standing in front of him with his hands tied.

Zheng Jizhi's second son, Zheng Wenyong, lowered his head and said softly: "Yes."

Liu Dian sighed: "My uncle has been very proud of himself in these years, but he is still not as cautious as before. In a place like Jinling, where can there be any airtight walls? What kind of secret banquet is clearly a self-dug grave."

"Brother Dian, please help me avenge my father!"

Zheng Wenyong was so excited that he knelt down directly in front of Liu Dian.

"Of course revenge must be avenged, but the Zheng family cannot be in chaos." Liu Dian said calmly.

Hearing this, Zheng Wenyong's face suddenly showed panic, and he replied in a low voice: "Brother Dian, I never thought about seizing power. It was all my brothers who wanted to strike first, so I had no choice but to fight back. I didn't Want to kill them"

Zheng Jizhi's sudden death immediately plunged the entire Zheng clan into panic.

When he was alive, his five sons, who acted respectfully and respectfully, had no time to mourn. They all took up the banner of tracking down the real culprit and began to win over the elders of the clan to support him.

All kinds of appalling internal fighting dramas such as inducement, frame-up, tracking, and assassination were staged one after another, enough to make outsiders stunned.

In just four days, three of Zheng Jizhi's five sons had gone to accompany him. Only the eldest son Zheng Wuyan, who was supported by many Zheng family elders, and the second son Zheng Wenyong, who was standing in front of Liu Dian at the moment, were left. The male and female have not yet been distinguished.

The entire Zheng family is already in a state of turmoil.

"Wen Yong, you did nothing wrong. You are just getting back what you deserve. The old tradition of inheritance by the eldest son should have been abolished long ago. Now is an emergency, so naturally the capable person should come to the position to preserve the whole society. Zheng family, so the position of the head of the Zheng family should naturally be inherited by you."

"Brother Dian"

Zheng Wenyong's face was full of surprise, and his body kneeling on the ground couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"I will support you to take over your father's position as Tobe Zuoshiro. But I have a request."

"Brother Dian, don't worry. Although I am not as smart and capable as my father, my loyalty is the same. Whatever my father did in the past, I will do in the future. The Zheng family will always be your most capable subordinates. Who dares to have any of those powerful families?" I, Zheng Wenyong, will not let them go if they have any evil thoughts."

Zheng Wenyong, who was kneeling on the ground, had a loud voice and couldn't wait to show his loyalty to Liu Dian.

"The Zheng family is my mother's family, and you are my brother, not a subordinate. What maintains me is not loyalty, but the family affection stemming from blood. No matter when, we are a family."

Liu Dian helped Zheng Wenyong up and said softly: "My uncle often told me in advance before his death. Among these heirs, you are the one he looked up to the most. If the Zheng family can be handed over to you, my uncle can rest in peace even under Jiuquan." ”

"Father!"

Zheng Wenyong's voice was sad, and tears welled up in his red eyes.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter."

Liu Dian picked up a bottle of surviving wine from the messy tables, held the bottle in both hands, and poured the wine on the ground.

Zheng Wenyong was well-educated, his face covered with tears, and his lips moved slightly: "Father, I will definitely lead the Zheng family well. Rest in peace."

Although he tried his best to suppress it, there was still a hint of excitement in his voice, which Liu Dian could hear clearly.

"Report to the Ministry of Household Affairs as soon as possible. With this status, you can legitimately take over the Zheng family."

Liu Dian turned his back and looked down at the transparent holes in the front and back of the sofa, his eyes unclear.

"I'll go now. Brother Dian, don't worry, I will restore stability to the Zheng family within today."

Zheng Wenyong responded impatiently and walked out quickly.

Falling into silence at the banquet, Liu Dian drank down the wine in his hand and turned to look at his trusted subordinates who were waiting aside.

"Brother Lei Yao, do you think that if my father is killed one day, will I be as happy as him?"

"Won't."

Hearing his master ask such a treasonous question, the man named Lei Yao remained expressionless and answered neatly.

Liu Dian asked with great interest: "Why?"

"The reason why Zheng Wenyong is happy is that Master Zheng's death allowed him to get what he dreamed of. But you are different. What you want does not need to be given by anyone."

"The only person who knows me and understands me is you, Lei Yao!"

Liu Dian laughed heartily: "Outsiders say that our civil and military orders are incompatible, but in my opinion, these are just narrow-minded villains' words. The hostility is only about interests and has nothing to do with the order. On the contrary, we are both civil and military. , is the real way to win.”

"The young master is wise."

Lei Yao still looked cold and taciturn, with no emotion on his face.

"I've told you so many times, there's no need to call me Master. You said it awkwardly, and I felt uncomfortable listening to it."

Liu Dian waved his hands angrily and said, "If you really don't know how to address me, just call me by my name. Is there any need to go to such trouble?"

"There must be rules. This is what the master specifically ordered."

Having said that, Lei Yao's tone softened a little.

"What kind of magic potion did the old man give you? He didn't give you the Confucian Seal, why do you listen to him so much?"

Liu Dian looked him up and down with a curious look on his face.

Lei Yao said seriously: "If the master hadn't rescued me, I would have died in the pursuit of Hongshengmen."

"Okay, okay, you have said it many times, and my ears are calloused. But I'll tell you the truth, the old man had a grudge against your master Zhang Changfeng, but he saved you, Brother Lei, by accident. Moreover, he has been keeping Zhang Changfeng in the Liu family for many years and has not killed him. I don't know what he is thinking."

Liu Dian scratched his ear and joked: "If I help you solve this worry, can you also listen to me?"

Lei Yao pulled a helpless and stiff smile at the corner of his mouth, and did not answer.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Liu Dian had long been accustomed to the other party's cold attitude. He smiled indifferently and finally got to the point, asking: "How is the investigation going?"

"Basically, everything has been investigated clearly."

Lei Yao recounted the situation in detail, not only mentioning the dead Rong Lu and Han Xiang, but also the names of Liang Huo and Wang Qi.

"So, this matter really has nothing to do with my eldest brother?"

Liu Dian pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"From the current investigation, it seems that Li Jun is the murderer, and he has reasons and motives for doing so. However." Lei Yao hesitated.

Liu Dian smiled knowingly and took over his words, saying, "But if this matter really had nothing to do with my elder brother, how could he not add insult to injury, but instead be so kind to help me stabilize the situation, and even take the initiative to provide clues and show goodwill to me, right?"

"Perhaps the eldest young master is very righteous and knows that we should unite against the outside world at this time."

"Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Liu Dian shook his head and sneered, "From the day my mother was allowed to give birth to me, my good elder brother began to be ready for battle, sharpening his knife, ready to cut my bones and flesh at any time. This time, someone came to me to seek revenge. If he took the opportunity to attack me, I would be relieved. Quite a few. On the contrary, it is the unity of brothers like now that makes me feel uneasy. I am afraid that he will not break the weapons of outsiders, but the bones of my own brother. "

"I will arrange people to pay attention to the movements of the eldest young master."

Liu Dian nodded, "Liu Tu needs to be on guard, but he is right in one sentence. My top priority now is to give an explanation to those families whose people died."

"Then let Liu Xianzhou from Moxu Middle Court take the blame?"

"This is the first time my eldest brother has shown me goodwill in so many years. I can't just turn him away, right? It's a good thing to do when it's easy to do it." Liu Dian said with a smile.

Lei Yao asked softly, "What about Li Jun?"

"I'll have to trouble you, Brother Lei, to talk to him. Help me see how big the appetite of this dragon crossing the river is."

Liu Dian smiled and raised his hand to point at his face: "Is he really determined to kill me, a small figure who is insignificant in the Japanese district incident, before he will give up."

Lei Yao's face was solemn: "He will kill Lord Zheng, so I'm afraid he won't give up so easily."

"If he doesn't want to drink toasts, then let him drink the penalty wine."

Liu Dian said calmly: "When things get extremely difficult, you must be bold. I am a small figure in the Japanese district, but in Jinling, he is the small figure."

Tianque's safe house in Jinling City is located on Chaotian Palace West Street in the west of the city. From the outside, it is just an ordinary Chinese medicine clinic.

There is not even the "rice" logo unique to Nongxu on the signboard. At first glance, it is clear that it has nothing to do with the words "excellent medical skills".

This is indeed the case. This clinic, called Gushengtang, does not perform prosthetic surgery or organ replacement. It only treats some of the most basic injuries. The key is that the fees are not low, and the rich look down on it, and the poor are unwilling to cheat.

So it is normal for the front door of the clinic to be deserted. Today, it was closed early before it got dark.

In the shop with warm yellow lights, a man knelt on the cold floor tiles, his bare upper body was full of wounds cut by sharp weapons, and scarlet blood kept pouring out.

"Yao Jun, when you four brothers betrayed your master and ancestors, betrayed Hongshengmen, and colluded with Liu Jinxun, the old dog, to harm your master Zhang Changfeng, did you ever think that you would end up like this today?"
