Chapter 1533: Killing the Master of the Mei Family
Chu Chen......
Upon hearing this name, Mei Zhao immediately turned around: "Kid, were you talking about Chu Chen?"
"That's right, it's your father!"
"Oh dear, it's the Grand Preceptor who has arrived. But for the Grand Preceptor to come here and kill people like this, even if it reaches His Majesty, it's still not right."
Although Dong Shilan did not announce to the world that Chu Chen was the Imperial Preceptor, as the Minister of Revenue, he was still aware of it.
"Hehe, if His Majesty finds out that Lord Mei went deep into the imperial prison and secretly released a heinous murderer, and then used him to plot against the Imperial Preceptor, it would probably be hard to believe."
Mei Zhao's face immediately turned cold after hearing Chu Chen's words.
However, the next moment, he regained his relaxed expression. In fact, as soon as he knew that he was Chu Chen, he knew that Chu Chen must know about Yun Shangfei.
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Chu Chen, now that you already know, you still dare to come to my Mei family. With a brain like that, how can you become the Imperial Advisor? What is our Emperor thinking?"
"Can't you see the situation? My Mei family has over three hundred guards. Do you think just ten of you can walk out unscathed?"
Chu Chen laughed after hearing this: "Mei Zhao, it seems you haven't reached the age of Mei Zhao yet."
"Actually, there's one thing I've been wondering about since I came here today: you don't even know me, so why did you go to all this trouble to kill me?"
"And what about your stupid son, Mei Du? Does he lack brains, or do you lack brains too?"
"Since I dared to charge at your Mei family with ten men, I am naturally confident that I can escape unscathed."
The moment Chu Chen mentioned Mei Du, Mei Zhao's temper flared up instantly.
He only had one son, but he never expected that this kid would actually try to make his Mei family line end.
"Boy, if you're talking about Du'er, you won't be leaving this room today."
"Heh, as for why I killed you, don't you know the answer in your heart?"
“Not only will my Mei family kill you, but the Xiongnu leader will also kill you. So, today you shall die.”
"Hahaha, did everyone hear that? The Mei family really does have ties to the Xiongnu. It seems you've been confirmed guilty of treason and collusion with the enemy."
Hearing Chu Chen's words, Mei Zhao looked at Chu Chen as if he were an idiot, thinking to herself, "Are you blind?"
You can barely protect yourself, yet you accuse me of treason and betrayal. You can talk about this after you're alive; these are all your own people.
"Chu Chen, are you stupid? These are all members of the Mei family. Let me tell you the truth: do you know what the alcohol you produced means to the Xiongnu elders?"
"You have completely ruined the Xiongnu's plans, so you must die!"
After listening, Chu Chen turned his head and looked at the last person in the crowd, who was wearing a guard's uniform but had his hat pulled down low.
"Alright, since you've admitted it, there's no need to say anything more today."
After saying that, he raised the submachine gun in his hand: "Mei Zhao, today I'll show you how I escape unscathed."
After saying that, Chu Chen pulled the trigger on the guards in front of him.
After a burst of gunfire, everyone covered their heads and fled.
"A ghost! Run!"
"Run! The King of Hell is coming..."
Indeed, they saw the black iron rod in Chu Chen's hand make a series of tapping sounds, and then more than a dozen of his guards fell to the ground.
However, at this moment, Chu Chen and his group of ten were arranged in a circle, and these people had no chance of escaping bullets.
With a series of loud, rapid clicks, everyone moved in unison and quickly changed to a new magazine.
More than a hundred of the Mei family's guards fell to the ground.
The man dressed as a servant, who was standing on the outermost edge, was now lying on the ground, looking at the ten people in front of Chu Chen with a look of fear on his face.
He wondered what kind of hidden weapon this was, even more powerful than the legendary Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.
Moreover, he personally witnessed a guard's head explode after being hit by such a hidden weapon, with white and red splattering everywhere.
Is this still a hidden weapon? Could it be that Chu Chen and these ten people are like gods, martial artists with unparalleled internal strength?
The most terrified of all was Mei Zhao. All his guards had already fled, and he was too scared to move.
A strong smell of urine emanated from his lower body; yes, he had wet himself in fear.
Seeing Chu Chen put away the dark stick and then walk towards her with a short black stick, she was immediately frightened and shouted loudly.
"Chu Chen... Grand Preceptor, you can't kill me. I am the Minister of Revenue, an official appointed by the court. You have no right to kill me."
"Heh, I don't care who you are when someone wants to kill me."
"Furthermore, if His Majesty finds out about your treasonous acts, do you think you can still serve as Minister of Revenue?"
"No... Chu Chen, Her Majesty is not here. She could not possibly know that my Mei family is treasonous."
"What do you want? Money, women, my Mei family can give you anything. And I guarantee that I will never dare to lay a hand on you again."
"Hahaha, you're not going to pursue the matter of my causing the extinction of your Mei family line?"
"Let's not pursue this further. My son offended you, that's his fault, and he should bear any consequences."
Chu Chen looked at Mei Zhao, who was lying motionless on the ground: "That's fine too. How about you kill your son in front of me, and I won't pursue the matter and will spare your life?"
"Ah...this,this...Even tigers don't eat their cubs, Chu Chen, can we change the terms?"
"It seems you're still a human being, not such a beast after all."
“Your Mei family is powerful and wealthy, which is indeed very tempting. Tell me, is the reason you sent Yun Shangfei to kill me because you are afraid that I will become too powerful and replace your Mei family?”
Mei Zhao nodded: "That's right, because you stole my Mei family's wine business, so... Moreover, the Xiongnu leader came to me and said that you had created something that they were afraid of, and asked me to get rid of you, so I was confused for a moment and took action against you."
After listening, Chu Chen stood up and looked towards the door.
"Mei Zhao, Mei Zhao, you are such a coward. To save your life, you are as obedient as a three-year-old child."
Mei Zhao didn't care whether Chu Chen insulted him or not. He would even call Chu Chen "father" right now. The Minister of Revenue, the Mei family—if they died, they would have nothing left.
"Chu Chen, Lord Chu... So, you're saying you're willing to let me go, and let the Mei family go?"
Chu Chen grinned: "That's right, I don't actually have much hatred for you. Since it's all in the past, let's just let it go."
"Ah... thank you, Lord Chu."
"However, whether His Majesty will spare you or not, I have no idea."
