Chapter 22 This Night is a Bit Quiet (Please collect and recommend)

There are three major families in Beiluo City, the Chen family, the Liu family, and the Zhu family.

The aristocratic families had a huge influence in the Zhou Dynasty. They owned a large amount of land and labor, and were able to establish a self-sufficient economic system. They were deeply rooted and powerful.

Like the twelve rebellious princes and the governors of various counties, most of them actually come from aristocratic families.

Because Beiluo City is relatively close to the imperial capital, and is located at the feet of the emperor, the aristocratic families do not dare to be too presumptuous. The power of the Chen, Liu, and Zhu families is much weaker than that of the aristocratic families in other counties.

However, no matter how weak it is, it is still a noble family.

…

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Aristocratic family, Chen Mansion.

The gate of the Chen Mansion was closed tightly, and the front of the door was covered with fallen leaves washed by heavy rain. It looked a bit bleak, like an ostrich with its head buried in the soil.

Tan Tai Xuan led the army to attack the city. The three great families betrayed Lu Changkong and wanted to cooperate internally and externally to let Beiluo City fall. In this way, the three great families could break Lu Changkong's oppression and regain the qualification to take charge of Beiluo City.

But……

Changes always happen beyond their plans.

Lu Changkong actually hid a master warrior, who killed the heads of the three major families with thundering means.

This scared the three major families.

If Tan Tai Xuan did not take over Beiluo City, then the cards that the three major families were betting on would be completely ruined.

Crunch...

The sound of the wooden wheels colliding with the blue bricks echoed in the quiet streets late at night.

Lu Fan and his companions arrived in front of the tightly closed door of Chen's residence in the dim night.

"Is this the Chen Mansion?"

Lu Fan leaned on the wheelchair and pulled the thin wool blanket covering his thighs upwards. The air after the heavy rain seemed a bit damp and cold.

Ning Zhao pushed the wheelchair and nodded slightly.

"The master originally planned to deal with the three great families, but the families are deeply rooted in Beiluo City and have many industries. If the three great families are removed hastily, it will have an impact on the people's livelihood in Beiluo City, so the master has not yet figured out how to deal with the three great families."

Ning Zhaodao.

"Since ancient times, most heroes in troubled times came from aristocratic families."

Lu Fan smiled, crossed his fingers and pressed them.

"It's getting late, sir. I'm also a little tired. Let's finish it quickly."

Lu Fan said.

Ning Zhao nodded, placed his palm on the wheelchair, lifted it up, and stepped over the bluestone steps in front of the Chen Mansion.

"Xiao Ni, go knock on the door."

Lu Fan rubbed Ni Yu's head beside him.

Ni Yu was stunned, as if he had not expected the young master's action.

His mouth was trembling.

"Ah? Sir...I'm scared."

Ni Yu looked at Lu Fan.

"What are you afraid of... To learn martial arts, you must first develop courage. Without courage, you cannot become a peerless martial artist."

Nie Zhangqing, who was holding Nie Shuang's hand, glanced at Ni Yu and said.

"Shuang'er, go with her."

Nie Zhangqing said.

Nie Shuang was actually a little scared, but when he saw his father's stern gaze, he suddenly felt a little excited.

My father had never looked so stern.

Although Nie Shuang is young, he is very sensitive.

Since deciding to learn martial arts, Nie Zhangqing has become much stricter towards Nie Shuang.

This severity is actually accompanied by expectations.

With Nie Shuang's company, Ni Yu became much bolder.

The two little kids looked at each other, mustered up their courage and walked to the gate of Chen's house.

Knock on the copper ring of the animal's mouth on the wooden door.

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

Nie Shuang shouted in a baby voice, and Ni Yu also shouted behind him.

Lu Fan sat in a wheelchair, supporting his chin with one hand, watching with a smile.

No one responded.

Ni Yu and Nie Shuang continued to clap and shout.

The childish voice tore through the dark sky.

The bright moonlight shone on the cheeks of Ni Yu and Nie Shuang as they shouted more and more excitedly.

"What are you shouting for? It's the middle of the night!"

A rough voice exploded behind the door.

With a thud, the bolt fell.

The tightly closed door of the Chen Mansion opened, and a servant in coarse clothes glared at him ferociously.

Ni Yu and Nie Shuang raised their heads and looked at the servant with innocent faces.

"Whose little brat is this? Is Chen Mansion also a place for you to run wild?"

"Get out of here!"

"Or I'll beat you to death!"

The servant roared.

Nie Shuang still raised his head, staring at the servant stubbornly, standing in the same place.

Although Ni Yu was frightened and his legs were shaking a little, he still stared with his eyes wide open and did not take a single step back.

This man... is so fierce! Lu Fan raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose.

Nie Zhangqing has already moved.

He swung the butcher knife in his hand, and it flashed like a black shadow in the dark night and was already on the neck of the rough servant.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At this moment, the servant saw Lu Fan sitting in the wheelchair, as well as Nie Zhangqing and others in the moonlight.

“You…you guys…”

The servant's face turned pale in an instant and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who are you? This is the Chen Mansion, not a place for you to act so unruly!"

The servant was filled with fear, but he still mustered up the courage to speak.

Ning Zhao pushed Lu Fan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, over the threshold. The wooden wheels turned and they slowly entered the Chen Mansion.

"The City Lord's Mansion collects rent."

The wheelchair slowly passed in front of the servant. Lu Fan supported his chin with one hand and pinched his nose. He didn't even look at the other person, but just left these words indifferently.

The servant's pupils suddenly shrank and his body suddenly stiffened.

My heart was in my throat.

City Lord's Mansion?!

How could this servant not know what the Chen family had done?

When the army besieged the city, the three great families betrayed the City Lord's Mansion...

Now, the City Lord's Mansion is safe, and what the three major families are facing is the liquidation of the City Lord's Mansion.

The servant looked as pale as death, and the new head of the Chen family told him not to open the door at all costs.

But what did he do? He actually opened the door himself and let the people from the City Lord's Mansion in.

How sinister! The servant suddenly felt like crying.

He was not prepared to hear a child knocking on the door. He thought it was just someone's kid making noise in the middle of the night.

Who could have thought that the powerful City Lord's Mansion would send a child to knock on the door?

If he had known this would happen, he would never have opened the door.

Ning Zhao pushed the wheelchair, and Lu Fan ignored the servant and entered the Chen Mansion.

The layout of the Chen Mansion is somewhat similar to that of the Lu Mansion, both are in the Chinese garden style. However, it is more luxurious and wealthy than the Lu Mansion. The winding paths, pavilions, rockery, and ponds are quite beautiful under the tranquil moonlight, just like an interwoven meticulous painting.

Nie Zhangqing held the butcher knife in his hand, resting it on the servant's neck, his expression grim and stern.

The servant's legs were trembling. The pungent smell of blood from the butcher knife made him almost vomit.

This is a butcher knife filled with resentful spirits.

Lu Fan sat in a wheelchair, feeling the cool breeze after the rain, which made him feel quite comfortable.

Ning Zhao stood quietly behind Lu Fan, her long black hair hanging down, the dim moonlight fluttering like a veil, making her look like a fairy who could be admired from afar but not touched.

Ni Yu stood beside Lu Fan, holding an umbrella that was almost as tall as her.

"Old Nie, this night is a little quiet."

Lu Fan lowered his eyes, admiring the fish swimming in the pond, and gently stroked the thin blanket with his palm.

Nie Zhangqing narrowed his eyes and understood what Lu Fan meant.

The butcher knife turned and scraped the servant's thigh, and blood spurted out instantly.

The servant's eyes widened, and when blood gushed out of his wound, he let out a shrill howl like a pig being slaughtered.

The screams were so horrifying that they tore through the silent night.

Inside the Chen residence, dim fuel lamps were lit.

The lights are dim.

The sound of rustling, hurried footsteps, and the sound of crushing water exploded in the night.

Deep in the garden.

The sound of a bowstring being plucked resounded.

A group of warriors in blue robes and Confucian attire, holding bows with cold arrows on them, pointed at Lu Fan and his group from afar.

atmosphere……

In an instant, the situation became tense.
