Chapter 614 The servants of the Minister's Office, their speed surpassing even the wind!
Jizhou
Guangzong
Ju family ancestral land
Ju Zong is very happy today.
Since he became the clan leader, everything he has done has led the Ju family toward revival.
When a person is in a good mood, their energy and spirit will also be high.
Ju Zong, a man with a limp, actually walked many steps without stopping, which can be described as a medical miracle.
"Master, lunch is served. Please eat."
The housekeeper walked over with a smile, carrying lunch in his hands.
"Wow, today's meal is quite sumptuous."
Ju Zong sighed.
The butler smiled slightly, put down the food, and bowed before stepping aside.
"stop!"
Ju Zong suddenly called out to the steward.
A flicker of fear crossed the butler's face, but it vanished in an instant.
"Eat your food before you leave."
Ju Zong stared intently at the steward.
"Master, this food is for you. If I eat it, what will you eat?"
The smile on Ju Zong's face vanished completely.
He drew his sword and pointed it at the steward.
"Tell me, who ordered you to poison this food?"
"What, you're using the same tactics I used on Su Ziyi against me?"
Seeing that he had been exposed, the steward turned and lunged at Ju Zong.
Ju Zong used his sword to retreat to the side.
but……
Due to his sloping feet, Ju Zong's movement speed was very limited. Once he was hit by the steward, he was basically doomed.
"Take your life!"
The steward roared, drew his dagger, and prepared to launch a ranged attack on Ju Zong.
This time, Ju Zong really couldn't hold back anymore; he hadn't expected the steward to be the sixth son.
At the critical moment, several servants, alerted by the shouts of battle, rushed in from outside.
It was fortunate that Ju Zong was not destined to die, as the servants who entered were all his trusted confidants.
The steward was not a skilled martial artist after all, and was easily subdued by several servants.
"You've been in my Ju family for almost twenty years, haven't you?"
"At that time, the head of the family was my elder brother."
"Although he is no longer here, the Ju family has gotten back on track under my guidance."
"Are you dissatisfied with me today, or were you acting under someone else's orders?"
Ju Zong looked down at the steward.
"Hahahaha, Ju Zong, you want to plunge the Ju family into utter ruin!"
"Under your leadership, the Ju family is destined for destruction."
"I am saving the Ju family!"
The words have not yet fallen.
With a "plop," Ju Zong pierced the steward's chest with his sword, and blood gushed out.
"Since when did it become your place as a butler to boss people around in the Ju family?"
"I can guess without you telling me. The ones who are behind this are definitely those few old fogies left in the clan!"
“These guys didn’t dare utter a sound when my brother was still alive.”
"Now that it's my turn, you're showing your true abilities?"
Ju Zong then stabbed the steward, ending his life.
Subsequently, Ju Zong ordered all the elders of the Ju family to be gathered together under the pretext of giving them a medical check-up.
Those who disobey orders will be subject to coercive measures.
The following day, three clan elders died suddenly, and the remaining two went almost insane.
To the outside world, Ju Zong did not make such a public announcement, but instead claimed that the elders needed to recuperate and were temporarily unable to meet with people.
Hua Xin, who knew Ju Zong, immediately sensed that something was wrong.
But now he has been forced to be tied to the same chariot as Ju Zong, and he himself is the owner of the chariot.
Therefore, faced with Ju Zong's atrocities, Hua Xin only dared to grumble in her heart.
Instead of reprimanding Ju Zong, he took the initiative to visit Ju Zong with gifts.
……
"Brother-in-law is here?"
Ju Zong greeted Hua Xin with a smile, showing no sign of someone who had nearly died from poisoning.
"Well, let's see you."
Hua Xin glanced around and noticed that nearly half of Ju Zong's guards had been replaced.
Clearly, the Ju family underwent a purge yesterday.
"Brother-in-law, come in and have a seat. I'll make you some tea."
Facing the sunlight, Ju Zong smiled shyly.
If he were ten or more years younger, he would look somewhat like a shy boy.
But Hua Xin knew what kind of person this kid was, and for a moment she almost threw up her lunch.
However, before Ju Zong could finish brewing tea for Hua Xin, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the Ju residence.
Ju Zong and Hua Xin went to investigate together.
A servant dressed in the official uniform of the Minister of Works brought the gifts to the gate of the Ju residence.
The gift was a huge box, bigger than a person.
There are some holes on it, I don't know why it's structured this way.
The servant bowed and said:
"This is a gift that Commandant Su specially prepared for Lord Ju."
"I have already delivered it as ordered. Please open it as soon as possible, Lord Ju."
Having said that, the servant quickly left without lingering for a moment.
Ju Zong was extremely curious.
Since message transmission takes time, and the servants of the Imperial Secretariat were incredibly fast, comparable to the legendary Shunfeng in the late Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Ju Zong is currently unable to determine whether Du Zhou has already taken action against Su Yu.
Given the timeline, it's possible that Su Yu had only recently arrived in Chang'an.
Ju Zong also understood that although he had always been hiding behind Hua Xin.
But for someone like Su Yu, finding out information about him wouldn't be difficult.
Driven by curiosity, he stepped forward and opened the box with some air holes on top.
A beautiful flower bed appeared before Ju Zong's eyes.
Never mind how heavy it is, how did the handyman manage to deliver it? The answer is always "mission accomplished!"
This made Ju Zong even more curious, wondering what was in the flower bed.
To get a closer look, Ju Zong stepped forward.
The next moment, Du Zhou, who had lost all four limbs, appeared like a ghost! (Description is inadequate; please refer to Lady Qi for details.)
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
With a close-range attack, Ju Zong fell to the ground on the spot.
My leg, which was already congenitally injured, is probably even more seriously injured now.
Hua Xin was also quite frightened, and a layer of cold sweat instantly soaked through her clothes.
"This, this, this..."
Still shaken, Hua Xin immediately ordered her personal guards to remove the flower bed and the box.
However, the psychological trauma caused by it lingered for a long time.
What's even scarier is.
Su Yu used this method to formally declare war on Ju Zong and Hua Xin.
Ju Zong is the first person to make our Commandant Su so cruel.
……
On the official road back to Xuchang
When passing through Nanyang, Su Yu made a special trip to meet with Fa Zheng.
What they talked about was known only to Xu Chu and Zhou Buyi, besides the two of them.
After the conversation, Fa Zheng was filled with fighting spirit.
A pie that can make even a wicked person like Fazheng willingly fight for it must be quite tempting.
Later, at Wang Ji's enthusiastic invitation, Su Yu gave him some guidance on the "Sixth Way".
Although he didn't become Su Yu's formal disciple, Wang Ji, a devoted fan, was still quite excited to receive this guidance.
Wang Ji's life is now thriving.
Originally, he was just a puppet family head who was put to power by the elders.
But ever since Mao Jie was purged, the elders of the Wang family have also changed their tune.
It's obvious who has the stronger backing, the Commandant of the Guards or that bastard Ju Zong.
Therefore, the elders of the Wang family were eager to improve their relationship with Su Yu.
As the clan chief, Wang Ji also gained some real power through this.
With Su Yu's personal guidance at his residence, Wang Ji felt even more confident.
I have my idols supporting me, so the old folks shouldn't speak so loudly in the future!
