Chapter 124: Zhang Family's Response

The entire Huo family mansion was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, half of the sky was illuminated red, and the din gradually rose. Huang Desheng left without a sound, leading the army that blocked the street, and countless people carried basins. , carrying a bucket, rushing over to fight the fire, but the fire was too big to get close to, and everyone could only watch the fire burn to the brim, watching houses collapse in the fire, sighing There are those who take pleasure in other's misfortunes.

Seeing him building a tall building, seeing his building collapse. Over the years, the Huo family has risen step by step in Liaoxi City, building tall buildings, keeping slaves and maidservants, going out with fresh clothes and angry horses, and entering with rich clothes and fine food, but in the blink of an eye, they are In the raging fire, everything was reduced to ashes. Everyone watched from a distance for a while, but no one could escape. They all shook their heads and sighed. It seemed that the fire had burned the whole family to death.

Of course, the Huo family was not dead yet. In the deep well in the backyard, Huo Tianliang was lying on the wet ground, his limbs convulsed and his whole body shaking. The soil was stuffed in his mouth, and the screams outside could not be heard, it was his relatives who were being slaughtered by others, including his father and mother, his sisters, and the maidservant he had raped, now He was turning into cold corpses, but he, a big man, was shivering like a dog hiding in this dark and damp burrow, with a whining howl coming from his throat.

A big fire was raging outside, and the bright fire was reflected on the surface of the deep well, like a bright torch. The sound of houses collapsing could be heard clearly. Huo Tianliang didn't want to see it. He closed his eyes, not wanting to hear it. But the deep well is like a sounding tube, clearly transmitting the screams from outside.

"Gao Yuan, I'm going to kill you, Linghu Dan, I'm going to make you worse than a pig or a dog, let people trample on you." Huo Tianliang raised his head, his eyes turned blood red, he spit out the dirt in his mouth, and there Stained with the blood he vomited.

When the sky just dawned, Zhang Shouyue, Zhang Junbao, Zhang Shubao and his son had already sat at the table and had breakfast. Zhang Shouyue was a soldier, and he ruled his family with military law.

Zhang Shubao and his father were carved out of the same mold, he ate very fast, and he ate a big bowl of porridge in two or three mouthfuls. Putting it into his mouth at a fast speed, he would occasionally pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, but Zhang Junbao was completely different from the two of them. He sat upright and took his time. The two of them were done, and he had only eaten half of it.

Looking at the two sons, Zhang Shouyue felt emotional in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, he liked the younger son more. The younger son resembled him when he was young. Except that he was too scheming, it was not his fault. He was born when he was born , I have already laid down this large country. This is a guy born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Since he was born in this world, he has been flattered and doted on by others. He was with those soldiers, and now he might be like some big boys in Liaoxi City, becoming a playboy. Although the eldest son doesn't please him, he is more suitable to succeed him. Now he is not needed to fight the country, but he is needed to guard the country. It is easy to fight the country, but it is more difficult to defend it.

"Father, how was your talk with that old soft-shelled turtle Linghu Qingyuan yesterday?" After eating the last steamed bun, Zhang Shubao raised his head and looked at his father opposite.

With a snap, Zhang Shouyue's face darkened, and he slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table.

"Shubao, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Junbao gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Linghu Qingyuan is our guest,

How can you call him like that, you are the son of the prefect's family, not those rough men in the army. "

Zhang Shubao laughed, "What kind of guest is he to us? I think their Linghu family has settled for us and wants us to work for him, but they don't even want to give us a piece of meat. Why should we give them this kind of thing?" Be merciful."

"That's not to say, our Zhang family also has a share of their business." Zhang Junbao said calmly.

"What's the matter, big brother, that's dismissing us as beggars. Besides, they don't know what dad wants? Big brother, I can't see you like this. You obviously hate them to death, but you pretend to be nonchalant on your face. I see, we really have to show our fangs, let them know that we are not easy to provoke, and if they provoke us, we will break up, and no one will be happy!" Zhang Shubao said fiercely and domineeringly.

"Shubao!" Zhang Junbao's expression changed, and he shouted sharply.

"Brother, don't yell, our house will be yours sooner or later, I'm thinking for you! You always have such a gentle smile, others will think you are easy to bully." Zhang Shubao cut off Zhang Junbao's words , Said carelessly.

Zhang Shouyue's face was very ugly at first, but after hearing what Zhang Shubao said later, he was thoughtful. Seeing what Zhang Junbao wanted to say, he raised his hand and knocked on the table, "Junbao, Shubao's words are rough." It doesn't make sense, you also accompanied me to see Linghu Qingyuan last night, and they are still unwilling to do anything for us after such a big incident, baiting us vaguely, perhaps, we should I really have to show him some color, don't treat me Zhang Shouyue as a big bastard and be easy to bully."

"Come on, Dad, as long as you send a message, I'll drag that old turtle out today and beat him up!" Zhang Shubao said excitedly.

"Shut up!" Zhang Shouyue was furious, "I just praised you a few words, and in a blink of an eye, my true colors are revealed."

Zhang Shubao was stunned by Zhang Shouyue's yell, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Zhang Shouyue took a deep breath and was about to say something when hurried footsteps came from outside, and Huang Desheng appeared at the entrance of the lobby.

"I've seen the prefect, I've seen the eldest son, the second son!" Huang Desheng saluted the three of them one by one.

Zhang Shouyue and Zhang Junbao just nodded and still sat still, but Zhang Shubao jumped up, "General Huang, you are here."

"Desheng, everything is done, have you dealt with it from beginning to end?" Zhang Shouyue asked.

"Yes, prefect, everything went as you expected. Linghudan dispatched killers last night, killing all of Huo Zhu's family and burning down the whole house." Huang Desheng laughed.

"Forget it." Zhang Shouyue said with a smile: "This Huo Zhu did such an inhumane thing, and he is not wronged by the disaster of destroying the family. It is time for Lu Hong to vent his anger. After Lu Hong returns to take over the handover, he will come to prepare for the construction of the former army. Your friendship has always been very good, and this time you can work together again."

Huang Desheng smiled, "Prefect, not only Huo Zhu's family died last night."

Zhang Shouyue was startled, "Winner, how do you say that?"

"All the people sent by Linghudan were also killed, and none escaped!" Huang Desheng said in shock.

Zhang Shouyue opened his mouth wide, Zhang Junbao suddenly stood up, but Zhang Shubao was overjoyed, "General Huang, you succeeded? This bitch really deserves to die, well done."

Zhang Shouyue looked at Huang Desheng with suspicion in his eyes.

Huang Desheng shook his head again and again, "How dare I do it without the order of the prefect? ​​It was Gao Yuan's hand."

"Gao Yuan!" Zhang Shubao was stunned, "This kid is bold, but he is bold enough. I like it. This guy just suits me."

"Desheng, this Gaoyuan can go in, is it because you released the water? How many people did he bring in, and did he leave any traces?" Zhang Shouyue asked in a deep voice.

"Yesterday, Lu Hong found me, with snot and tears, and softened my heart, so he agreed to the matter. Today, he was about to plead guilty to the eunuch, but Gao Yuan didn't bring many people in, he only brought One archer, two people went in." Huang Desheng said that he was pleading guilty, but his face was full of complacency, and he had the consciousness of pleading guilty.

"Only two people?" Zhang Shubao yelled again, "The Linghu family's people are really good at it, and two people can take care of them?"

"There are only two people." Huang Desheng said with a smile: "At first I also felt uneasy, but Gao Yuan was full of confidence, but the facts proved that he was really powerful, and he defeated the ten masters of the Linghu family without a sound. They were all slaughtered, and I was also quite surprised, the last time he fought Yan Qi, I only thought his martial arts were great, and I didn't want him to be so powerful."

"Father, I must get this Gao Yuan to the Chinese army." Zhang Shubao turned his head to look at Zhang Shouyue and said loudly, "I can't sleep without such a strong general."

Zhang Shouyue ignored Zhang Shubao, pondered for a while, and waved his hands, "Okay, I see, Desheng, you go first, if you die, you die, you deserve to die, you go tell Lu Hong, and after you go back, you will quickly talk to Gao Yuan Hand over, and then come to Liaoxi City to prepare for the establishment of the former army."

Seeing that Zhang Shouyue didn't mean to blame at all, Huang Desheng was overjoyed, bowed his head repeatedly, and retreated.

"Father, this Gao Yuan is too brave, you can't pamper him like this." Zhang Junbao said in a deep voice, "At least you should reprimand him."

"Why?" Zhang Shubao jumped up, "The group of Linghu Dan's family also went to Fufeng City, and they also have the blood debt of the Fufeng people in their hands. Gao Yuan did nothing wrong in killing them."

"I'm not saying that Gao Yuan made a mistake!" Zhang Junbao glared at him. "As far as I'm concerned, I've fulfilled Shubao's wish and transferred Gao Yuan to Liaoxi City. It's more reassuring to keep him by my side. Let him be in charge of the Fufeng military. I don't know what will happen. You can see him enlisting in the army." In just a few days, one big incident after another happened, which is really worrying, if this person is not really talented, it will be useful to my Zhang family and cannot be reused at all."

Zhang Shouyue shook his head, thought for a while, then shook his head again.

"Junbao, you are wrong."
