The undercurrent of Jicheng is surging.

Since Zhao Hui was assassinated, three days have passed now, and Zhao Hui has not appeared in front of people.

Zhao Hui will find the mastermind behind the scenes and completely hand it over to Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

After all, it was his newlywed, and Zhao Hui didn't want to be affected by other factors.

In the past three days, he has not appeared in front of people, and has been grinding with Zhang Xue's sideburns in the back house.

When Zhao Hui was training, Zhang Xue was watching from the sidelines, and occasionally picked up the lancet to practice with Zhao Hui.

When they were tired, the two of them sat down to eat something.

The backyard has been completely separated from the front yard. No one is allowed to enter the backyard without permission.

Guo Jia had already asked the painter Qi Hong to paint the faces of the two assassins and paste them at various intersections in the city.

Qi Hong's painting is very good, and the portraits of the two assassins are almost indistinguishable from real people.

In recent years, he has painted portraits of many people from the family. Of course, he paints portraits, and the money he charges is also very high.

If you don't have a family background, don't want to paint a portrait.

Zhao Hui, who stayed in the backyard, had nothing to do, and asked Qi Hong to draw a few pictures for him and Zhang Xue.

At the beginning, Qi Hong drew a portrait of Zhang Sai according to Zhao Hui's dictation, which made the outside intelligence officers discover him.

Now Qi Hong's painting is better than at the beginning.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, one was in charge of the state governor's mansion, and the other searched around the city.

No matter who they are, they don't want to leave Jicheng.

And the more this is the case, the more those people think that Zhao Hui is dying.

Zhang Lian was already in the inn, setting up a banquet and inviting other family heads to gather.

As for Zhao Hui's wedding day and other things, whether it was Zhang Lian, Chen Liang and others, they didn't mention it, it seems that they have forgotten.

Although Zhang Lian hated Chen Liang in his heart, Li Bing did not stand up that day.

But I also know it in my heart.

But although he understands, he already hates it in his heart, and he will eventually take revenge

It's just that now he still needs to join forces with the Chen family, the Li family and others, so he can't bear not to tear his face with them.

On the surface, everyone is still brothers in the same camp, and they still have to show the same spirit.

But the estrangement has been born.

"Did you say Zhao Hui was dead?" Zhang Lian asked.

"If you haven't shown up for so many days, even if you don't die, you must be seriously injured." Chen Liang answered.

Of course, there are also some family owners who are more cautious, they don't want to offend Zhang Lian, but they don't want to take risks.

Even when they were invited, most of them just listened with their ears and did not speak.

"Tell me, who did it?" Li Bing asked.

As Li Bing's voice fell, most of the people looked at Zhang Lian.

The heads of these families all think that the most likely is Zhang Lian.

During this time, Zhang Lian jumped the happiest, contacting everywhere. And he had just been humiliated by Zhao Hui during the day. It is entirely possible to send an assassin at night to assassinate Zhao Hui.

Zhang Lian was looked at by everyone very unnaturally.

"You don't think it's me, do you?" Zhang Lian said: "I would like to, but that day my people were invited out with me, how could the people behind the guards of the Governor's Mansion get in." Those two assassins had definitely blended in during the day. ”

Zhang Lian didn't dare to carry this pot on himself.

Chen Liang said: "Let Zhao Hui's people check this, it has nothing to do with us anyway." ”

Li Bingdao: "But if we can't find out, when can we leave?" ”

"There's no way he's going to keep us in the city."

Zhang Liandao: "At most, in three days, the city gate will definitely be opened." ”

The city is a gathering place for life, but there are also many people from outside the city who want to enter the city.

You are allowed to enter but not to go out, it is okay for a short time, but it will cause chaos after a long time.

The people from outside the city had to go into the city and sell their herbs, game, or firewood.

It is also necessary to buy essential items such as salt in the castle.

And when they entered the city, they couldn't get out, and food and shelter were all problems.

What Zhang Lian and the others said in the inn was reported to Guo Jia word for word.

The family is not monolithic, and there are always people who choose to take refuge in Zhao Hui, who has a bigger fist.

Zhao Hui wanted to weaken the influence of the family.

But it is also obvious that if they can cover Zhao Hui's thighs, they don't need to worry about it in the future.

They don't know what Zhao Hui will do to the family in the future.

There will always be people who think that as long as they follow Zhao Hui, their family can continue to prosper.

Of course, Zhao Hui didn't really want to exterminate the family, but only to weaken their influence.

is really willing to cooperate with Zhao Hui's family, and Zhao Hui will naturally give them appropriate preferential treatment in the future to ensure the wealth of their descendants.

There can be a family in the future, but the family must not have the power to influence the government.

Now many Taishou, when they are on the ruling side, they have to look at the faces of those families.

Like the family in Ueya-gun now, it's very good. They have their own way of making money, and everything is done within the normal rules.

The family of Shanggu County, the current head of the family was secretly supported by Zhao Hui at the beginning.

Now the tribesmen of the branch have moved out.

There are no more than 100 people in each family.

Compared to the thousands of servants in the family before, they have now shrunk several times.

Except for those who have official positions themselves, other clansmen no longer interfere in the affairs of the government.

Guo Jia didn't wait three days, and opened the city gate on the fourth day. Ordinary people can come and go freely.

But the people of the family are still being watched, and Guo Jia still forbids them to leave Jicheng.

Zhang Lian didn't know that someone from the family he invited had already turned to Zhao Hui and reported everything they said every time they got together to Guo Jia.

"They're putting us under house arrest." Zhang Lian said excitedly.

"Why didn't he let us out of town?"

"Whoever wants to go out of town with me tomorrow, I don't believe he dares to do anything to us."

Zhang Lian said that he was arrogant, but few people responded to him.

"Are you scared? If not, I'll go by myself. Zhang Liandao.

has been humiliated by Zhao Hui once, what else is he afraid of.

"I'm willing to go with me." Chen Liangdao.

"I would too."

People will always have a feeling that the law does not hold the public accountable.

When they are alone, they dare not do it.

But if there are more people, they will have inexplicable courage.

This time, Zhang Lianke did not make an appointment to meet at the city gate, but pulled the willing people and set off from the inn together.

If you meet at the city gates, many people will suddenly disappear.

It was just when Zhang Lian set off from the inn with dozens of people.

Guo Jia and Dian Wei have also taken people and guarded the city gate.

"Master Zhang, do you still want to go over?"

Looking at the swords dangling in front of them, some people immediately retreated.

"What are you afraid of. Do they dare to kill us? ”

Zhang Lian walked over as he spoke, and the others hesitated a little, but they still followed.
