Chapter 120 Reaction
The lame Taoist looked at the young master indifferently.

"Are you from the Zhen family?"

The young master looked the lame Taoist priest up and down, frowned and said
"Who are you? I'm the second son of the Zhen family. Who let you in?"

The lame Taoist nodded in understanding. This guy must have gone out to drink wine that night and escaped the disaster.
Even such a dandy young man behaves like this, with pity in his eyes. I don't know whether to say he is lucky or unfortunate.

The lame Taoist shook his head and pointed at the corpse on the ground:

"Your Zhen family was destroyed by someone?"

The young master was stunned for a moment, his face changed.
"Damn Taoist priest, what nonsense are you talking about?" He suddenly smelled blood, and he closed his mouth immediately, looking around in surprise and suspicion.

"Ah, old lady." He then saw Zhen's mother lying on the ground.
His face turned pale, and he ran over in panic and threw himself beside Zhen's mother.

"Dead. Really dead!" The young man screamed in disbelief, his mind went blank.
He suddenly saw the skeleton beside the old lady, and his pupils shrank. He recognized the purse that fell on the ground at a glance.

This was given to my eldest brother by my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest brother always carries it with him, but now it is here.
Then this skeleton is not...
"Big brother" the second young master uttered a few words with trembling lips.

The lame Taoist priest stood quietly in the yard, watching the young man stagger to his feet and rush into the backyard, shaking his head and sighing.
Sure enough, heart-wrenching cries were heard from inside soon after.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The young man came out, his hair disheveled, with sadness, fear and hatred in his eyes.

"It's you, you killed them." The young man pointed a sword at the lame Taoist priest, his face full of hatred, and shouted like a madman.

The lame Taoist priest glanced at the long sword, not caring at all, and said calmly:
"I have no grudge against your Zhen family, why would I kill you?
What’s more, I have reminded your elder brother, what a pity.”

The young master was stunned. He also felt that it should not be the Taoist in front of him.

How could a lame Taoist priest destroy the Zhen family quietly? Are those guards just there to do nothing?

"Do you know who it is?" The young man put down his sword and asked quickly.

The lame Taoist nodded

"Of course I know, but I advise you not to seek revenge. If he knew that you were not dead, he would probably kill you directly."

At this moment, several blood-colored insects suddenly jumped out of Zhen's mother's body and shot towards the young master.

The speed was so fast that the young master had no time to react.

The lame Taoist's face changed, he stretched out his hand and a beam of white light shot out, and in the blink of an eye he caught all the insects in his hand.

The young master said blankly

"What just happened?"

The lame Taoist priest stretched out his hand, handed it to him, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't know what kind of insects these are, but they want to drill into your body." After saying that, he exerted force with his hands, and the bloody insects were crushed to pieces.

"What kind of insect is this? Can it kill people?" The young man was a little unconvinced.

The lame Taoist priest glanced at him, walked to Zhen's mother, waved his hand, and her clothes were lifted up.

I saw a thumb-sized hole on Zhen's mother's belly, with bite marks on the edge.

"Did you see it? Don't underestimate this bug.

If it could get into your body, it would eat all your internal organs clean,” the lame Taoist said coldly.

"Hiss!" The young man took a breath of cold air, stepped back a few steps, and sat down on the ground with a pale face.

"Who on earth is this person, who is so vicious all of a sudden?"

The lame Taoist sighed
"Let me tell you, the one who destroyed your Zhen family is Jia Hu of the Jia family, so you better run away quickly.

I destroyed the bug, I don't know if he can detect it. I am no match for him, so I'm leaving first." After saying that, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Master." The young man was startled when he saw the lame Taoist disappear, and hurriedly climbed up.

"Master, where are you? Don't leave me." The voice was full of fear.

However, no one answered. The night wind blew slightly, and the young man shivered.
Looking back at the mansion filled with dead bodies, he was horrified and ran outside desperately.

At this moment, Jia Hu, who had just boarded the boat, suddenly looked up in the direction of Zhen Mansion and found that the Gu he had left behind was dead.
It was originally left behind to kill the fish that escaped the net. Anyone with the blood of the Zhen family would be attacked by the poisonous insects.

His face turned cold, and with a flash of golden light, he disappeared from the spot.

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what was going on.

"Uncle."

"Master."

"Hu Ge Er"

Captain Wu and the others shouted at the same time.

Zhen Baoyu was anxious and was about to get off the boat. At this moment, Jia Hu appeared at the bow again.
He went to Zhen's house, but there was no one there. However, the aura seemed to be that of the lame Taoist priest.

Captain Wu and the others closed their mouths in surprise, looked at Jia Hu in confusion, and did not dare to ask.

Jia Hu turned around with a gloomy face and walked towards Lin Daiyu's room, saying lightly
"It's okay, let's go back to Yangzhou."

The three of them looked at each other. They could see that Jia Hu was not in a good mood, so they didn't dare to go up and ask.

Lin Daiyu had already woken up in the room. Seeing Jia Hu coming in with a bad look on his face, she asked in confusion:
"Third brother, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Jia Hu looked up at Lin Daiyu and said happily

"you're awake."

Lin Daiyu nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Although she had taken revenge, it was impossible for her mother and brother to survive.

"How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?" Jia Hu asked with concern.

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head

"I'm fine now. By the way, Third Brother, how is the Zhen family doing?"

Jia Hu was startled and shook his head.
"I originally wanted to kill all the members of the Zhen family, but it seems that some of them slipped through the net and were not completely killed."

"It's fine if we didn't kill them all, but the most important people in the Zhen family are dead, so there won't be any waves.
Third brother, don't think too much about it." Lin Daiyu blinked and smiled to comfort him.

Jia Hu glanced at Lin Daiyu.
"Yes, I know." Jia Hu answered casually to prevent Lin Daiyu from worrying.

He understands that if you don't uproot the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze.
But it is really hard to find him right now. I don't know where he has fled to. But there is no need to worry. I will find him eventually. The next day, Jinling was really in an uproar. The Zhen family was wiped out. The sensation caused was huge.

The prefect of Jinling was Jia Yucun, who was almost frightened to death. He hurriedly sent people to investigate and quickly wrote a memorial to the emperor.

This is a huge matter. He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky. He probably won't be able to keep his official hat this time.

In the east warm room of the imperial palace in Beijing, Xia Shouzhong rushed in
"Your Majesty, this is the urgent memorial from Nanjing." He placed it carefully in front of the emperor.

Emperor Qianwen was puzzled.
"A memorial from Nanjing? Urgent?" He reached out and picked up the memorial, opening it.

"Swish!" Emperor Qianwen stood up with a horrified look on his face.
"The Zhen family... was wiped out...?"

"Ah!" Because there was a mark on the urgent memorial, Xia Shouzhong did not dare to peek, and he screamed when he heard it.

The figure of a young boy suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that he did it?

Emperor Qianwen also thought of Jia Hu, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"No way, did he really wipe out the entire Zhen family?" he said in disbelief.

Although he knew that Jia Hu was lawless, he was still shocked when Jia Hu actually did it.

"Go and see what the reaction of the Dragon Head Palace is." Emperor Qianwen suddenly said, remembering something.

Xia Shouzhong came to his senses, quickly agreed, and hurriedly retreated.

Emperor Qianwen took the memorial in his hand and slowly sat down. His mood calmed down a little. He narrowed his eyes and
"Someone is coming."

"Whoosh" a figure suddenly appeared in the room, dressed in black, with a fierce momentum

"His Majesty."

"Don't you have any news from Jiangnan?" Emperor Qianwen looked at the man coldly.

"Your Majesty, the news from Jinling has just arrived, and I was about to report it."

"Well, show it to me quickly." Emperor Qianwen's eyes lit up and he said impatiently.

Emperor Qianwen looked at the message in his hand, which was much more detailed.

Lin Ruhai's health improved, the four major salt merchants were wiped out, and the Zhen family was just wiped out, all of which were vaguely related to Jia Hu.

"Huh" Emperor Qianwen exhaled slowly,
"It's really him. Besides him, who else would have the guts to deal with the Zhen family?"

He sneered and glanced in the direction of the Dragon Head Palace.

"Oh, the Zhen family is your money bag. Now it's destroyed. What will you do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Shouzhong rushed in.
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Head Palace is very quiet, there is no reaction at all."

"Hmm?" Emperor Qianwen was stunned.
"Impossible" I wondered, could it be that he didn't receive the message? It's impossible.

The emperor emeritus will only get the news earlier than himself, why is that?

Emperor Qianwen fell silent, and the whole room became quiet. Xia Shouzhong did not dare to speak and stood aside with his back bent.

"Is it because of Jia Hu that the emperor is also afraid of him?" Emperor Qianwen thought for a long time and could only come up with this answer.

Emperor Qianwen suddenly raised his head and sneered

"Father, it seems that you are really old. A Jia Hu can actually scare you. Hahaha." His eyes were full of mockery, and his face suddenly became serious.
"I will show you that I can get rid of the person you are afraid of.

I will let you know that giving me the throne is the right choice."

Xia Shouzhong was already trembling with fear while listening to these words. Is this something he could hear?
He kept his head down, just wanting to reduce his presence.

Emperor Qianwen calmed down, his eyes moved, and suddenly he picked up a pen and began to write. The only sound in the room was the rustling sound of writing.

It was unknown how long it had been before Emperor Qianwen stopped writing, carefully read what he had written, and then took out a few envelopes and put the papers in them.

Emperor Qianwen looked at the man in black who was still standing below and handed him the letter.
"The names are on the letter. Give it to them personally."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man in black took the envelope respectfully and disappeared in a flash.

Emperor Qian'an narrowed his eyes and whispered
"Jia Hu, there's no need to come back after you go to Jiangnan.
It was originally intended to be used against the Zhen family, but now it is also suitable to be used against you." The voice was very cold, and the murderous aura on his body flashed away.

In the Dragon Head Palace, the atmosphere in the room was also very quiet. Dai Quan glanced at the emperor above and asked cautiously:

"The Emperor, Zhen Family."

The emperor said calmly
"The Zhen family is gone, so it's no big deal." It seemed like he didn't care at all.

"Uh" Dai Quan was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said
"Then just ignore it?"

The Emperor suddenly said

"Jia Hu knows medical skills?"

Dai Quan was stunned by this change of topic and nodded:

"Yes, yes. Before leaving the capital, he cured the terminally ill mother of a member of the Jia family's side branch. Now she is no different from an ordinary person."

The emperor's eyes showed excitement.

"Okay, okay. I thought he only knew how to detoxify, but I didn't expect his medical skills to be so high.

That’s right, how could it be possible to cure that kind of poison without some medical skills? Haha.”

Dai Quan looked at the excited emperor in confusion, not understanding why he was so happy.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to summon the imperial physician to come and see you?"

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood and glanced at Dai Quan.

"I'm in good health. Don't worry about other things. Just keep an eye on the dock for me.

As soon as Jia Hu returns to the capital, tell me immediately." His face became extremely serious.

Dai Quan didn't understand why, but he still said respectfully
"Old slave obeys the order."

The emperor stood up happily and went into the bedroom.
Dai Quan was left standing in the hall with a disheveled look on his face. Is the emperor crazy?
