Zhu Yujiang's eyes were filled with doubt.

The servant lowered his head, obviously not very clear about what Zhou Hongwei, the head of the Zhou family, came to do.

"You two go down and take people to investigate the matter thoroughly. No matter who is involved in this matter, you must investigate it to the end." The city lord Zhu Yujiang said sternly to the two guards.

"promise."

The two guards solemnly hugged their fists before slowly retreating.

After the two guards retreated, Zhu Yujiang looked at the servant and said, "Go and invite Zhou Hongwei, the head of the Zhou family, to the living room, and say I will be there later."

"promise"

The servant didn't dare to neglect, so he answered and then stepped down carefully.

"Why did the head of the Zhou family suddenly come to my city lord's mansion this time? What is the reason?" Zhu Yujiang's eyes were full of deep doubts.

"But I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I want to see what the head of the Zhou family suddenly came to see me." Zhu Yujiang also thought of it in his heart, so he walked towards the living room.

Soon, Zhu Yujiang came to the living room and saw Zhou Hongwei, the head of the Zhou family. He saw that the head of the Zhou family was sitting on a chair, drinking a cup of tea, but he seemed to have encountered something sad, and his brows were frowning tightly.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhou. I said why the magpies were chirping this morning? It turned out that a distinguished guest was coming!" Zhu Yujiang said with a big smile.

Zhou Hongwei seemed to have come back to his senses at this time, and quickly stood up and couldn't help but say, "The City Lord is really good at joking."

"Haha... I'm not kidding. Brother Zhou hasn't been here for a long time. This time I come here, I don't know what's going on..." Zhu Yujiang said with a playful smile.

As the saying goes, he will not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. The head of the Zhou family who never came to pay homage to him in the past suddenly came in. If he said nothing was wrong, he would not believe Zhu Yujiang to death.

Zhou Hongwei smiled bitterly, but said, "Isn't you worried about my incompetent eldest son?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Yujiang also became interested in his heart and couldn't help asking.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongwei looked at the guards standing nearby.

Seeing Zhou Hongwei's appearance, Zhu Yujiang's brows frowned slightly.

"That's right. This matter is actually the matter of my eldest son Zhou Chongshan, but it also concerns the city lord's daughter." Zhou Hongwei said in a low voice.

"You all retreat."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yujiang immediately waved to the guards beside him.

"promise."

The guards who followed Zhu Yujiang replied respectfully, and then immediately retreated.

When the guards retreated, Zhu Yujiang immediately asked Zhou Hongwei: "What's the matter?"

"That's right. My son Zhou Chongshan admires Ling Qianjin very much, and my Zhou family also wants to get in touch with the city lord, but I don't know what the city lord means..."

When Zhu Yujiang heard this, his brows frowned even deeper. He glanced at Zhou Hongwei for a few times, but suddenly smiled and said, "The younger generation will decide what happened to me. If my willful daughter doesn't object, I will naturally not stop me."

Zhou Hongwei's face couldn't help but smirk, and said, "It should be, it should be."

"Oh! By the way, I heard that Qianjin Ling brought back two people today. I wonder who they were?" Zhou Hongwei pretended to be unintentional.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yujiang's face darkened. How did Zhou Hongwei know about his daughter bringing two strangers into the mansion?

"Brother Zhou is very informative! My daughter did make two friends today. I wonder what Brother Zhou asked about this?" Zhu Yujiang said with a smile.

"That's right. Are there any male friends your daughter has made? The name is Cheng Yuren." Zhou Hongwei said with a smile.

"Yes, what? The head of the Zhou family knows it?" Zhu Yujiang asked with a narrowed eyes. He was already sure that the traitor of the Zhou family must have been lurking in the city lord's mansion, which made the city lord extremely angry.

"That's right. Mr. Cheng has some conflicts with my Zhou family. I wonder if the city lord can let me meet Mr. Cheng?

I want to explain it to him in person.” Zhou Hongwei said softly, with a pleading look in his eyes.

Hearing Zhou Hongwei's request, Zhu Yujiang frowned deeply. After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Yujiang smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng has been intimidated recently and is in a very unstable mood. When Mr. Cheng's mood stabilizes, I will let Brother Zhou meet him."

Zhou Hongwei's face suddenly became unpleasant. He looked at the city lord Zhu Yujiang deeply, and his expression also became serious.

"Does the Lord Zhucheng really not want me, Mr. Cheng?" Zhou Hongwei's face became indifferent, and there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in vaguely.

As if he felt something, Zhu Yujiang couldn't help but take two steps back and said with a bit of deep meaning: "Young Master Cheng has been assassinated recently. Could it be that the person was arranged by the head of the Zhou family?"

Zhu Yu General was just trying to joke, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hongwei changed his face.

Seeing Zhou Hongwei's sudden change in his face, as an old fox, Zhu Yujiang seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly smiled and said, "I just remembered that I had something else I hadn't done, so I lost my companion first."

After saying that, Zhu Yujiang was about to leave quickly with his steps.

But Zhu Yujiang had just walked a few steps when a howling sound came from behind.

Zhu Yujiang was shocked and shouted, "Help." At the same time, he was hiding towards the side.

The howling wind came, but a sharp sword slashed at the position where the city lord was standing just now. The cold sword edge made Zhu Yujiang's face turn pale.

However, Zhou Hongwei had an extra three-foot long sword in his hand, and he slashed at Zhu Yujiang.

"Master Zhou, what do you want to do? I am the city lord, you dare to kill me." Zhu Yujiang shouted in horror.

"Hmph, I don't know the current affairs. I didn't want to kill you, but you actually want to die. Then I will fulfill your wish." After that, he held the sword and slashed at Zhu Yujiang.

Zhu Yujiang was shocked. Although he also had martial arts skills, he was only the first level of the mortal world after all, while Zhou Hongwei was the third level of the mortal world.

Therefore, Zhu Yujiang could not hold on for only two moments.

At this time, Zhu Yujiang regretted the decision he had just paid out the two guards, but it was too late to regret it. Finally, with a scream, Zhu Yujiang was stabbed in the abdomen by a long sword.

"You won't die well." Zhu Yujiang looked at Zhou Hongwei who stabbed his abdomen with a sword and said hatred.

"Don't worry, I will live a good life. On the contrary, you will not only be killed by me, but also you are also the murderer who killed Cheng Yuren."

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Yujiang's eyes suddenly stared wide and said with horror.

"Hmph. You don't need to know." Zhou Hongwei said coldly, and the long sword that pierced Zhu Yujiang's belly pulled out suddenly, and blood spilled out.

"Bang."

Zhu Yujiang's body suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he never rested his eyes until he died.
