Chapter 39: Destroying the Family and the Clan



Zhang Mingtu looked at the relevant descriptions and records and felt a chill all over his body.

He was protected by the Jinyiwei and no one dared to touch him, but the Zhang family did not.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, deeply realizing the power of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Zhang family is like prey caught in a spider web. The more they struggle, the faster they die.

It's like a bull falling into a quagmire. It has great strength, but the more it struggles, the faster it sinks.

Zhang Mingtu took several deep breaths and moved his qi and blood to suppress the anger in his heart.

Then calm down and continue reading.

The Zhang family was completely ruined, and I confessed everything to the clan leader.

It is speculated that it was the Wang and Li families who did it.

The white-haired clan leader Zhang Benji just shook his head after hearing this.

"The Wang and Li families alone don't have such great strength. The Wang and Li families are only strongest near Jianyi. They are out of reach of Longxing Prefecture. There must be someone else behind this."

"This is a warning from the powerful families in this area of ​​Jiangnan West Road to everyone."

I had a vague understanding, and the patriarch obviously understood it better than I thought.

He disbanded the Zhang family!

Each branch and its related people were given a copy of the family tree, and then they separated and left.

Before leaving, the clan leader publicly swore in Jianyi to expel me from the Zhang family.

At the same time, the one-armed old man Zhang Fulin smashed the thousand-pound stone lion at the entrance of the escort agency with one hand, turning it into powder.

The clan leader publicly declared that if the family was destroyed, then they would all perish together, blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

Then two branches took the initiative to leave by boat. Three days later, news came that they encountered a storm while crossing the river, and the boat was destroyed and everyone died.

The clan leader took the initiative to destroy the clan, which showed that the clan was willing to pay a huge price and surrender. At the same time, the tiger demon showed strong strength, which showed that the clan was also willing to fight to the death.

But such a performance was obviously not understood by others, or the other party understood it but did not care.

Two days later, three guest officials of the Wang family who had undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion were killed in a fight at the bank of the Ganjiang River. The killing was done cleanly and the murderer was never found.

The confrontation has officially entered a state of blood for blood and tooth for tooth.

The clan leader did not let me participate in the incident.

But I followed the footsteps of the people from the branch and found their bodies.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra collected the resentment or resentful souls from their bodies, and I know the reason for their death.

The storm was man-made. A martial arts master manipulated the storm to create huge waves, and at the same time, someone at the bottom of the river pierced their boats.

Having walked along the river for many years, all members of the Zhang family have first-class swimming skills and can dive and escape even if they encounter a storm on the river.

But there was a master in manipulating the water's power, who made the soft water droplets as hard as steel, and a group of people were suffocated to death in the river.

This group of people did a lot of cover-ups, but they didn't cover it up thoroughly enough.

It was easy to find out the details of the matter, but the person in charge of the investigation closed the case quickly.

A sudden storm hit the river and a group of merchants died in the river.

It's so dark that it's unimaginable.

This is a grand action of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Unfortunately, I and the entire Zhang family became the chicken.

I returned to Jianyi and told the clan leader the relevant investigation results.

The patriarch looked very bad and pale.

This is not appropriate for someone like him who has completed two marrow cleansing and blood transfusions.

But neither of us talked about it, and we both knew why.

"I told them before they left, and they already knew it."

"It was my fault!"

The grief and anger in my heart were hard to suppress. There were fewer familiar faces in the family, and Uncle Kili was also on the sinking ship.

I burst into tears, and the patriarch, who was obviously even more sad, had a gloomy face and shook his head, saying, "You did nothing wrong. Serving your country is never wrong."

"My Zhang family's ancestors died for the country, and the descendants also have the awareness to die for the country."

"Don't be sad. The Zhang family is not finished yet. You won't die. The Zhang family will have a chance to rise again in the future..."

The clan leader did not tell me everything. He secretly sent a team of people and left Jiangnan West Road quietly without any public announcement.

Together with the group of escorts who left.

However, his son was not included. Zhang Tuyuan was too outstanding and many people paid attention to him.

Most of those who left Jianyi were people who were not well-known in the family.

And those who stayed in Jianyi seemed to have already made plans to die.

The confrontation became more and more intense. I also took action in secret and attacked and killed a person who had undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion. However, the opponent was extremely vigilant and I failed.

The clan leader refused to let me take action, so if I were to take action in a legitimate capacity, I must have a legitimate reason.

Both the Wang and Li families are very "clean".

If you act with a hidden identity, you can be killed openly.

The situation was getting worse and worse. The clan leader's complexion was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't even suppress the smell of medicine on his body.

But one day, the patriarch came back with a happy face.

I learned from my father Zhang Jishi that after losing most of the family's experts, the Wang and Li families also suffered heavy losses, but the negotiations were successful.

The Zhang family can leave Jianyi after the separation.

The Zhang family’s land and properties must remain here.

The treaty was quite humiliating, but the patriarch agreed to it.

But there was one clause that the patriarch didn't tell me.

Since it is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, of course there must be a sufficiently important figure who dies. The mere destruction of the Zhang family is not shocking enough.

When the Zhang family had basically moved, the patriarch asked me if I wanted to leave.
