Chapter 81 The dust has settled (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Many people in the Cui family realized belatedly at this moment that this competition seemed to be a farce caused by an impulsive gangster like Zhao Changhe who ignored the occasion, while Cui Wen Z doted on his daughter. I’m used to this farce...
But in fact, from the time Zhao Changhe made his voice, what he was hiding was the idea of using his sword skills to intimidate a weak-minded family member like Cui Yuanteng into confessing.
Lack of key evidence, isn’t this what happened!
This is not a brainless gangster at all. This rough and reckless image creation is too deceptive. Especially the scar. Now some people believe you when you say that this guy painted it on purpose.
People looked at the expressions of Cui Wen Z and Zhao Changhe looking at each other and smiling, and they all said something in their hearts: Damn two foxes, one old and one small, you don’t want to be your son-in-law anymore, you should just stay together. . Look at Cui Yuanyang's silly grin beside you, completely unaware of what's going on. He's almost like an outsider.
But why Cui Wenjue?
To fight for the head of the family?
For this reason, we won’t take action on Cui Yuanyang. Even if we really kill Cui Yuanyang and secure the **** basin to Cui Yuanyong and Cui Yuancheng, we still can’t shake Cui Wen?Z! What's more, the Cui family has the Qinghe Sword. It's easier to break this kind of eucalyptus than other families. What are you thinking?
Cui Wen Z also asked leisurely: "Second brother, what are you thinking about? Upon closer inspection, it is simply the work of an idiot."
"Ha." Now that he had broken his heart, Cui Wenjue simply said bluntly: "You lost the Qinghe Sword, how can you still have the dignity to sit as the head of the family?"
Zhao Changhe secretly thought that this guy had indeed come for the Qinghe Sword from the very beginning... He deliberately set up a mystery of a brother and sister killing each other and there were no clues. It was easy for the Cui family to first think of inviting Qinghe. Sword, he can use this to see through the reality of Qinghe Sword.
He should be able to confirm that there is something wrong with the Qinghe Sword... Once it is revealed that there is something wrong with the Qinghe Sword in public, Cui Wen? .
Many preparations have been made for this. First, he will lead the way and pin the suspicion on Cui Yuanyong and Cui Yuancheng. If Cui Wen Z insists on protecting the two brothers and drags this matter over, he may not be able to shake himself. , but when it comes to competing for the next head of the family, there will be something to say...
If Cui Wen Z breaks through and expands the suspicion to everyone, then there will be no way around the Qinghe Sword. Only the ability of the Qinghe Sword can be used to detect everyone's suspicions, and then the problem of the Qinghe Sword will be exposed. .
As a result, Cui Wen Z's response was like a textbook. He refused to protect his son from the beginning and went directly to jail. He watched with cold eyes during the process. He already knew who was setting the pace and who was causing the most fun. What allusion about touching the sword... Cui Wenjue is almost certain that even if his son really touches the sword, Cui Wenjue will find a way to keep his hands free of black ash! Isn’t it easy for Number 9 on the Heavenly Ranking to deceive you?
Even without Zhao Changhe, Cui Wen?
But now, there is nothing to tear apart.
Cui Wen Z laughed: "The Qinghe sword was lost? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Said and waved casually.
The Qinghe Sword in his hand left his hand and flew back to the Copper Palace. It was as if there was an invisible hand holding him up from below, and it fell back to the sword stand in the palace steadily and accurately. What is particularly wonderful is that during the flight back to the temple, there seemed to be celestial phenomena pulling the clouds apart, as if a divine sword flew by and opened the curtain. Then the clouds broke through the moon, the Jiang River was clear and shallow, and the moon was bright and beautiful.
Many clan elders were so moved that they trembled with their voices: "Why is this not a divine sword? Wen Jue, you are greedy for profit, slandered your brother, and arranged a divine sword. You really deserve death!"
Cui Wenjue smiled "ha" and stopped arguing.
Cui Wen Z was just doing magic. It was his own strength that was ninth in the world, not the brilliance of the divine sword. However, now that the "evidence is conclusive", he is no longer qualified to ask Cui Wen? ?
The big thing is over.
He just calmly said to Cui Wen Z: "Brother, you know some things well."
Cui Wen Z said calmly: "What I know is that no matter what you think happened to the Divine Sword, if you are doing it for the family, then you are not adopting this method, so why say more?"
Cui Wenjue nodded: "Brother is right."
Cui Wen?Z said slowly: "Cui Wenjue and Cui Yuanteng are fighting against each other within the clan, framed his nephew, and want to plot against the head of the family. He will be deprived of all duties according to the family law. He will be imprisoned in the sky prison until the family decides on the punishment. Cui Wenjue will start from now on. They will all be expelled and exiled to the north of Saibei. I will choose another capable person to serve as the governor of Qinghe."
Cui Wenjue sighed with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Zhao Changhe: "..."
You are the governor of a county and the official of a feudal territory. You withdraw when you say it, replace whoever you say, kill first and report later, and you don’t need the emperor’s consent?
Does your family belong to Qinghe?
——Our family is actually not too afraid of that guy.
For the first time, Zhao Changhe truly realized the terror of the top aristocratic families. It's hard to say in prosperous times, but in troubled times, such a family is completely dominant and can participate in the competition at any time. Why does it need to look at the emperor's face?
In this case, what does it mean for Daxia Longque to be placed here...
Cui Wen Z glanced at him and said with a smile: "Let the guests see the joke, Yangyang."
Cui Yuanyang had been in a daze, and now he said "ah" like he was waking up from a dream.
"Take the guest to my father's study. Let me take care of some things here. I'll be back in a minute and tell the guest something."
Cui Yuanyang’s heart was pounding.
This is not the attitude towards a "son-in-law" who doesn't know whether he will become a son-in-law. Can anyone enter Cui Wen Z's study?
Who was the last foreigner to enter?
Wang Daoning, the leader of the Langya Wang clan!
She just wanted to run back and take a look at those long-mouthed servants. You think this gangster can't enter my boudoir, now look where he entered!
…………
Cui Wen Z's study is actually not much different from the study of ordinary scholars. After all, Zhao Changhe can't recognize how expensive the various utensils are. Anyway, it just looks elegant and generous.
The biggest difference is that in a place like this, Cui Yuanyang seems to have gained a temperament. Her original naive and cute demeanor is no longer there. She is actually sitting there quietly making tea, gently rolling up her sleeves and looking like a gentle lady. Zhao Changhe found it interesting to see this.
"What are you looking at?" Cui Yuanyang didn't dare to speak loudly, and muttered in a low voice: "This is a courtesy for entertaining guests. Do you really think that Yang Yang has no etiquette? You have practiced this!"
"Yes, yes, Yangyang has practiced it." Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud: "What kind of tea is this?"
"Biluochun."
"..." Zhao Changhe is very surprised every time he hears these things that are the same as those in the real world.
And this is actually Gongfu tea. The modern way of making money by frying tea and making Gongfu tea is gone.
But Zhao Changhe knew that the secret would not be revealed for a long time. Isn't this what he was talking about when he came to the study this time?
"I really didn't expect that it would be the second uncle." Cui Yuanyang was sighing: "The second uncle is very important to the family. Just that position cannot be replaced by just anyone, and he is very powerful. Dad should do it this time It’s a headache.”
Zhao Changhe said: "You should be mentally prepared. If you are not of this level, you cannot fight for the top position. You should have known that it would not be an ordinary side wife or concubine. Otherwise, why do you think others are so easily led to the rhythm and thoughts? I only think about your brother, because others are not good enough and there is no point in making trouble."
Cui Yuanyang whispered: "But I still don't understand, what are they planning..."
Zhao Changhe said: "If I am not wrong, your father is actually the real imperial party, one of His Majesty's group. Your second uncle may have been bewitched by some rebels, and the ultimate target is not the Cui family. , it’s Daxia.”
There was loud laughter from outside the door: "I'm a little hesitant now. I feel that you are born to be a charlatan, so you should roam the rivers and lakes with clothes and angry horses; I also feel that you have some political potential and you can go to the court to hang out." ”
Zhao Changhe didn't even look back: "Goodbye, my little weight will really involve the court. Sooner or later, I will be swallowed up by you old foxes until all my bones are left."
Cui Wen Z sat down opposite him, happily drank a cup of tea handed over by his daughter, and said leisurely: "So you want to stay in the world and ignore all suspicions about identity? But now you should always Let’s face it.”
Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "What are you facing?"
Cui Wen Z drank tea leisurely: "Daxia Longque, do you want it?"
Zhao Changhe's eyes instantly glowed.
Can it really be taken away?
