200　　Chen Jie and the other man rode out on horseback, but after running for a distance, Chen Jie pulled the reins of the horse.

　　Ouch~

　　Peng Fu looked at Chen Jie and asked, "What's the matter, Fifth Master?"

　　"wrong."

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Chen Jie said: "Zheng Chuan paid the soldiers to keep the secret. Do you think they can keep it secret?"

　　"It's impossible to keep it secret. These soldiers are always loyal to whoever feeds them. They will say anything if you give them money. It's impossible to rely on them."

　　Peng Fu Road.

　　"That's it. He knows that he can't keep it secret and he has to spend money. What does he want to do?"

　　Chen Jie asked back.

　　"Confuse us?"

　　Peng Fu thought of a possibility, and Chen Jie said, "Yes, but it could also be a tactic of playing hard to get. So, Uncle Fu, you chase from here, and I chase from this side. Once we catch up, we will immediately send a signal and the other side will rush to help."

　　"OK."

　　Peng Fu thought about it and immediately agreed. Then the two of them separated and each led six eagle guards.

　　…

　　Somewhere in the woods.

　　"Second Master, take a rest."

　　The housekeeper who was following nearby persuaded Zheng Chuan.

　　"Where is this place?"

　　The housekeeper said, "Walk two miles ahead and you will reach Jixiang Temple."

　　Zheng Chuan said: "We are already twenty miles out of the city, let's take a rest."

　　After Zheng Chuan finished saying this, the dozen or so guards following him all dismounted. Some of the guards were carrying packages containing various gold and silver.

　　He wasn't going to come back again.

　　This time the matter has become too big. If it was just the White Tiger Hall, it wouldn't matter. He could escape as long as he switched to other people's sects. But this time the one being investigated was the Darughachi Mansion, which was the headquarters of Mianshui County. With one order from here, he would have no chance to get along in either the black or white world.

　　So we must escape from Mianshui County, but where to go?

　　I haven't thought about it yet, but with my own abilities and the capital I've accumulated over the years, it will be no problem for me to find a place and become a rich man.

　　It's a pity that I have worked so hard for so many years.

　　Damn Chen Jiusi, if you hadn't meddled in other people's business, this wouldn't have come to this!

　　Can't you learn from the fourth brother and just die obediently?

　　While Zheng Chuan was thinking about it, the housekeeper had already asked someone to light a fire.

　　The guards around immediately gathered happily and warmed themselves around the fire.

　　Zheng Chuan frowned and said, "Don't light the fire."

　　The housekeeper said, "Second Master, everyone is tired. It's freezing cold. Let's warm up so we can run. And, Second Master, we have already given them false information. They probably lost us long ago. It's okay."

　　Zheng Chuan hesitated for a moment: "We can only roast for a while, rest for a quarter of an hour, and then set off immediately."

　　"Thank you, Master."

　　Everyone thanked him, and the butler immediately said, "See, the Second Master still cares about you. Cheer up, and if you encounter any danger, do your best for the Second Master!"

　　"yes!"

　　As everyone was talking like this, the butler turned around with a weird smile on his face.

　　…

　　Drive, drive, drive...

　　"Master Wu, there is a fire in the woods ahead!"

　　At this time, on the continent, an Eagle Guard with sharp eyes saw at a glance that someone had started a fire and was roasting himself in the woods not far away.

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

　　In fact, he didn't have much hope in his heart. After all, what fool would have the mind to make a fire while running for his life?

　　Is the second child so stupid?

　　"Let's go! Let's take a look." Chen Jie waved his hand and asked the Eagle Guard to follow.

　　…

　　At this time, in Mianshui City, Feng Xuan's mansion.

　　Feng Xuan was drinking his soup leisurely at this time, and Fa Cai was still standing behind him with the sword in his hand.

　　Si Xi was reporting the situation to him.

　　"My Lord, everything happened as you expected. When the hall master heard Wang Dafa's story, he got angry and his injury flared up. He drank two bowls of ginseng soup before he calmed down."

　　"And ordered Chen Jie to take Peng Fu with him to capture Zheng Chuan."

　　"Zheng Chuan also knew that his time was coming, so he fled ahead of time, leaving his family behind. Chen Jie and Peng Fu only sent people to surround Zheng Chuan's mansion, but did not kill anyone. Zheng Chuan's family was all safe."

　　"Haha... a woman's kindness."

　　When Feng Xuan heard this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.

　　Then Si Xi continued, "Then they left the city to chase Zheng Chuan. According to the rules, Lao Zhou would let Zheng Chuan stop to rest on the road and light a bonfire to attract Chen Jiusi and others. After Chen Jiusi and others caught up with him, he would quietly leave."

　　After hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "Well, get rich."

　　"exist."

　　"If you leave the city, no one around Lao Er will survive."

　　"clear."

　　Fa Cai nodded.

　　Si Xi said, "Master, Lao Zhou is loyal to you."

　　"Oh, how to be loyal?"

　　Feng Xuan glanced at Si Xi and asked, "Are you willing to die for me?"

　　"Of course I am willing."

　　Si Xi spoke back, and after hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "Since you are willing, then what else is there to say."

　　Si Xi: ...

　　Feng Xuan looked at Si Xi and said, "You are just too soft-hearted. People who do great things don't care about small details!"

　　Si Xi said, "Yes, I understand."

　　Feng Xuan looked at Si Xi and said, "Alright, don't worry about these things. Just do your job well and leave."

　　"yes."

　　Upon hearing this, Si Xi immediately retreated.

　　Seeing that everyone around him had left, Feng Xuan dismissed the maids on both sides, closed the door, and a perverted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

　　It's done. My years of planning have finally come true, hahahaha…

　　He laughed unscrupulously!

　　A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. If he wants to get to the top, he must get rid of his competitors. His previous competitor was Zheng Chuan, so he set up this plan.

　　First of all, it was the year before last, when he and Zheng Chuan were fighting fiercely.

　　Both of them tried their best to suppress the other, show their value to Peng Shizhong, and let Peng Shizhong choose them as the successor of Baihu Hall.

　　But he knew that Peng Shizhong would not choose between two people just because one was too outstanding. Given Peng Shizhong's indecisiveness, only by killing one person could he make up his mind to choose another.

　　Therefore, he planned to set up a trap to kill the second brother.

　　Thus his plan began.

　　First, he deliberately found a businessman who was very good at business, deliberately contacted Zheng Chuan, and then revealed to Zheng Chuan the plan of the gambling house to drive the jewelry store, the cloth shop, and other related industries.

　　If this plan is successful, Yongchang Street will surpass Heping Street in terms of business.

　　Zheng Chuan will also step on himself hard and stand out.

　　But such a big project requires money. Where can we get the money from?

　　At this time, Feng Xuan discovered a Zoroastrian demon who was buying iron tools everywhere in the black market. He asked the housekeeper Lao Zhou who was lurking beside Zheng Chuan to contact him and slowly revealed the matter to Zheng Chuan.

　　Zheng Chuan was indeed tempted.

　　So Zheng Chuan used his connections to mix pig iron with scrap iron and sell it.

　　What Feng Xuan didn't expect was that Zheng Chuan actually wanted to harm him, and instigated Wang Dafa, the owner of Tongyuanhang under his command, to rebel and help him transport iron tools.

　　This made him a little cautious, after all, Wang Dafa was his man at the time, and if something happened, he would inevitably suffer the consequences.

　　So he set up another plan and asked the butler Lao Zhou to tell Zheng Chuan to stamp the seal of Tongyuan Bank on the note for picking up the goods, so that he could put the blame on himself more easily.

　　After doing all this, Feng Xuan waited for a few more months to be safe.

　　After completely disassociating himself from the matter, he was ready to find someone to detonate the incident, and the original choice was the third brother.

　　Unexpectedly, the fourth brother accidentally saw the whole process of the second brother transporting the goods. In order to keep it secret, the second brother ambushed and killed the fourth brother.

　　This is a godsend.

　　Peng Shizhong has the mentality of a patriarch. He is willing to tolerate his children's mistakes and even help them take the blame.

　　Therefore, Peng Shizhong would not have the heart to deal with Zheng Chuan unless he let him do something that would completely hurt him.

　　And the death of the fourth brother is the best opportunity.

　　Brothers killing each other, is there anything more difficult for Lao Peng to accept than this?

　　So the detonation plan began.
