The highest official's order?!
They carefully pondered over his words, and the shock in their hearts didn't fade away. What kind of concept was this? The people who could come to this courtyard were all influential people in the capital. However, at this moment, they couldn't help but sigh. People were divided into different levels, and this kid was too outstanding!
As the person involved, I heard Elder Xu's words, and my heart warmed. At least, he was the first person to suggest this. Although he didn't connect it to the people of the Demon Path, it was still a good thing that I was the scapegoat for.
It seemed that there were smart people here. Just as Elder Xu had said, I didn't have any motive to attack the Zhang family. As long as they didn't provoke me, I wouldn't cause any trouble.
Without a doubt, after Elder Xu personally admitted my power, everyone's expressions changed. They didn't think that Elder Xu was joking. Although they couldn't imagine how amazing an existence he was, the way they looked at me changed slightly.
After all, when Grandpa Zhang asked Elder Xu for help, these people were gloating. They said that as an outsider, it wasn't easy for him to build a reputation in the capital, and now he wanted to destroy his own wall. They really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
But now, they understood what it meant to be a pig to eat a tiger. Perhaps this young man didn't even care about the Zhang family. This was the problem of the world.
Old Man Zhang's face twitched slightly as he stared at Old Man Xu. He realized that Old Man Xu was still as serious as ever. Old Man Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I admit that he is indeed very powerful. However, the Zhang family still believes that Chen 'er's death has something to do with him. Let's go talk to him."
Not long after, the three people of the Zhang family came to the courtyard. When they saw my gloomy face, they were a little flustered.
"Zhuang Feng, what do you want?"
Grandpa Zhang asked in a low voice. Seeing the seven or eight guards outside, he heaved a sigh of relief. If there was a conflict, these people would take action, right?
I pondered for a while and felt a little awkward. As the saying goes, the dead can't come back to life. Today was the day of Old Guan's funeral. If I asked the Zhang family to pay with their blood, it would be too cruel. They thought that I was the one who killed the young master, and they had a good reason to think so. It was a man-made sin, and I couldn't shirk the responsibility. However, I couldn't blame the Zhang family.
I could only say that Elder Guan was very unlucky. He was in the living room that night, and he suffered the most. If I didn't save him immediately, he would have died before reaching the hospital.
So, after thinking for a while, I waved my hand. "Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. Just kneel, from now until midnight. If you can endure it, I'll forgive you."
"Zhuang Feng, are you joking?
It's only seven o 'clock in the morning. Even an iron man can't stand kneeling until twelve o' clock at night for sixteen to seventeen hours. How can we do it? "Young Master Zhang's father said indignantly.
"That's right. Just say it. What are you going to do if you can't hold on?"
Young Master Zhang said with a straight face. Thinking back to the scene of them turning against each other, he felt a little embarrassed. No matter what, he was the representative of the younger generation of the Zhang family. In front of others, he had to be united against outsiders.
"It's very simple. If you can't hold on, then just accompany Elder Guan," I shrugged and said casually.
"Sss."
Other than the commoners watching the commotion outside, the people in the courtyard also poked their heads out to see what was going on. When they heard this, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Wasn't he just going to see the King of Hell?
From my eyes, the members of the Zhang family felt a strong murderous intent. They swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
It was a fear that came from the bottom of their hearts, as if the Grim Reaper was right in front of them.
Plop.
Their bodies uncontrollably knelt on the ground. This scene shocked the commoners who came after hearing the news. It triggered all sorts of exclamations and speculations among the crowd.
"Why did the Zhang family kneel together? Is it a farewell gift to Elder Guan?"
"I don't think so. They are obviously unwilling. If I'm not wrong, it should be because of the pressure."
"He's worthy of being the Demon King Dollar. Even the Zhang family doesn't have any face in front of him."
I didn't care about these people's discussions. I glanced at the three members of the Zhang family. "Don't be lazy. There will be someone to monitor you. If I find that you are lazy, you will have to bear the consequences."
The three members of the Zhang family shivered and agreed.
Then, I returned to the courtyard and went to the mourning hall. I bowed deeply to the portrait of Elder Guan. After all, it was a little offensive to borrow the Spirit Manifestation Talisman. Fortunately, it had an unexpected effect, and Elder Guan got justice.
But then again, although this was the idea of the Zhang family, the real executor was the assassin named Explosive Genius. It was because of his high explosive ability that he was able to deceive everyone. I couldn't let him go. When there were enough clues, it would be the time of his death!
Guan Ruolan, who was at the side, let out a cry and threw herself into my arms. She started to cry again. Of course, her tears weren't filled with sadness. Instead, they were filled with relief.
"Brat, thank you for letting your grandfather rest in peace." Guan Ruolan's words were full of gratitude.
"Silly, this is my duty and mission. It's my duty." I shook my head and patted her back.
Seeing our affectionate faces, the guests in the courtyard couldn't help but sigh.
"They are really a perfect match. They are a match made in heaven."
"Sigh, Elder Guan can finally rest in peace in the underworld."
"Maybe the Guan family will become the fifth largest family in Jing City!"
"You're wrong. I don't think the three members of the Zhang family will be able to hold on. When the time comes, the Zhang family will be gone, and the Guan family will be able to take over!"
