Chapter Eighty-Nine: Demonstrating Fenyang and Showing Anger at Longmen
Wang Zhushu originally had compassion, but he was afraid of Zhou Wenzhao's obscenity and did not dare to talk nonsense in front of Yu Xin, at this time he saw that Zhou Wenzhao was tied up, and Yu Xin called the leading uncle again, so he knew that Zhou Wenzhao was gone.

Thinking that he had been forced by Zhou Wenzhao to do a lot of bad things in recent years, he hurriedly started to think of the guilt of his merits, so he called the maid under his hand to take out a new set of clothes from Zhou Wenzhao's room, and asked his subordinates to boil water for Yu Xin to bathe and change clothes.
Wang Fu, Wu Hanjiang and others were inconvenient to stay here, so they ordered the two guards to stay behind to supervise the king's master book and the maidservants in the palace, and then turned around and went back to the main hall to wait for news.
The first to fly back was Chu Tianfeng's subordinates, who reported to Wang Fu that Chu Tianfeng had completely controlled the situation in the guard, and strictly guarded several hundred households, and several hundred households wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, but they were all killed by Chu Tianfeng, which immediately shocked everyone.
As for the soldiers in the guard, they usually don't have much of a good impression of Zhou Wenzhao, after all, when Zhou Wenzhao divided the gold and silver, the people who benefited were those hundred households, and when they got to these soldiers, there was not much left, sometimes Zhou Wenzhao even deducted their food and salary, some soldiers had already complained, plus Chu Tianfeng was holding the seal of the governor of the three sides, and no one dared to mess around, and they all stayed in the barracks honestly.
Wang Fu heard that Chu Tianfeng had taken control of the guard, and knew that the greatest danger in front of him was over, so he ordered the guards who came back to report the news to rush back and tell Chu Tianfeng, and when Guo Dingguang arrived, he asked him to hand over control to Guo Dingguang before rushing back.
Not long after the guards who reported the news left, the people who went to the Xishan mine rushed back, and the carriages behind them carried several large boxes, although they were tightly sealed, they could still smell the foul smell coming from inside.
The captain of the guard turned over and dismounted and came to Wang Fu, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, according to the clues provided by these people, a total of eleven corpses have been raised, it seems that the longest has been many years, there are not many bones left, and the shortest time is about a month, and most of these corpses are women!" "These female corpses, of course, are the official eunuchs and daughters who were ravaged to death by Zhou Wenzhao and others.
Zhou Wenzhao can be said to be the emperor of the soil here, and Feng Lin and others under him are also used to being powerful, and they didn't care at all when they buried the corpse, and threw it directly into the abandoned cave of the Xishan Mine, which was easily found.
When Wang Fu heard the words of the captain of the guard, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "A small thousand households have committed such a heinous crime? Is there any royal law in your eyes? Someone came, splashed Zhou Wenzhao with cold water to wake up, and the governor wanted to be promoted to the court to ask about the case! ”
With a wave of the captain's hand, the two guards pressed the fainted Zhou Wenzhao to the front of the court, and the guards had already taken a large basin of water and poured it on their heads.
It's also to blame Zhou Wenzhao for his bad luck, when this guard went to the middle courtyard to get water, he happened to see two maidservants carrying a basin of water to the backyard, so he snatched it over, but it was a basin of boiling water, which was poured on Zhou Wenzhao's head on the spot, and suddenly burned a layer of blisters, and Zhou Wenzhao's huge head suddenly turned into a pig's head.
Wang Fu couldn't help but be a little speechless when he saw this situation, but he didn't blame his guards, Zhou Wenzhao had been doing evil in Longmen for more than ten years, and it was time for him to suffer a little!
Just when Zhou Wenzhao grinned and screamed, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and he saw a group of people and horses galloping with torches, led by a green horse, and immediately sat a general wearing bright silver armor, wearing a black iron helmet, hanging a sword from his waist, beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was Guo Dingguang, the commander of Fenyang Wei, who was closely followed by a young man in a green shirt flying around, which was Lei Qingshan who went and returned.
When Guo Dingguang was still a few feet away from the door, he turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the middle of the hall, everyone only heard the sound of footsteps, and the armor made a rapid sound of gold and iron fighting, which was quite a general's spirit.
Guo Dingguang rushed into the hall and did not kneel, but folded his fists and replied to the king: "The last general, Guo Dingguang, I have seen the governor, and it is inconvenient to salute in armor, please forgive me!" ”
Wang Fu waved his hand and said, "General Guo is exempt." And he paid no more attention to him. This Guo Dingguang was promoted by Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, and has a very good relationship with Shi Heng's nephew Shi Biao, and he is a very powerful general, and he is also unruly, and he only serves Shi Heng in his life, even if he is the governor of the three sides, Wang Fu, he does not pay attention to it.
Guo Dingguang didn't care whether Wang Fu was unhappy with him in his heart, so he withdrew his fist and stood aside, thinking in his heart what Wang Fu was looking for him?
At this time, Zhou Wenzhao, who was burned into a pig's head, suddenly pounced, hugged Guo Dingguang's thigh, and screamed: "General help!" ”
Guo Dingguang's thigh was suddenly hugged, he didn't panic, he took out the long sword from his waist, and asked with a cold snort, "Who are you?" Why are you crying out for help? I only felt that this person's voice was familiar, but I didn't recognize it for a while.
Zhou Wenzhao's voice whimpered, and he said indistinctly: "General, I'm Zhou Wenzhao, Zhou Wenzhao of the thousands of households here." ”
Guo Dingguang looked at it, and then he recognized that the blistered and swollen pig-like household in front of him was not Zhou Wenzhao, a thousand households here in Longmenshu, so he asked suspiciously: "Zhou Qianhu, what's wrong with you?" His eyes glanced at Wang Fu intentionally or unintentionally.
Before Zhou Wenzhao could answer, the captain of the guard who was in charge of searching the courtyard just now suddenly stepped forward and bowed his hand to Wang Fuyi and said, "My lord, the lowly duties have been counted, a total of 5,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and countless jewels, cloth, silk, and jade!" Here's the breakdown. ”
Wang Fu just ordered a total of four people to go down, one was led by Chu Tianfeng to control the Longmen Garrison, one was Lei Qingshan went to Fenyang to find Guo Dingguang, the other was led by another guard captain to the Xishan mine, and the last way was this guard chief to search the yard, but I didn't expect the other three people to come back early, only this seemingly easiest way to the end.
Five thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, countless gold, silver and jade jewelry, and they were actually found from thousands of families who paid less than one tael of silver a month.
Wang Fu's face became even more gloomy, he took a cursory glance at the booklet in his hand, slapped it on the table, and shouted angrily: "Come on, drag Zhou Wenzhao over to me!" ”
Zhou Wenzhao hugged Guo Dingguang's thigh tightly and refused to let go, and shouted indistinctly: "General, help, general, the last general has been ...... to you all these years."
Guo Dingguang suddenly roared, and kicked his other foot directly on Zhou Wenzhao's back, and the long sword in his hand was sent downward, passing through the back of his heart, and nailed him to the ground with a click, Guo Dingguang pulled out his leg from between Zhou Wenzhao's hands without looking, and arched his hand to Wang Fu: "Your Excellency Governor Qiqi, Zhou Wenzhao is corrupt and perverts the law, and his crime should be punished, and he has been cut off with a sword!" ”
Zhou Wenzhao was at Guo Dingguang's feet, Guo Dingguang suddenly made a move, but Wu Hanjiang and Lei Qingshan didn't have time to stop it, and the long sword directly pierced Zhou Wenzhao's body, and there was no breath left for a sword kill.
Wang Fu's face suddenly turned cold.
Lei Qingshan flew forward, stretched out his hand to probe in front of Zhou Wenzhao's nose, shook his head at Wang Fu, turned around and stared at Guo Dingguang, and said word by word: "You, why do you want to kill people and kill people?" ”
Guo Dingguang smiled, glanced at Lei Qingshan with disdain, ignored him at all, and replied to Wang: "The last general has neglected to supervise, so that this guy is so arrogant, please forgive the governor!" ”
Guo Dingguang, as Zhou Wenzhao's top boss, is very clear about what Zhou Wenzhao has done over the years, and there are not a few gold and silver coins that Zhou Wenzhao has paid tribute to during the New Year's holidays.
And Guo Dingguang knows better than anyone in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the person of Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, and in the court, Wang Fu and the Duke of Zhongguo are the most disagreeable, and he Guo Dingguang does not need to consider Wang Fu's feelings and sell Wang Fu's face.
Wang Fu didn't understand Guo Dingguang's thoughts, so he waved his hand to Guo Dingguang and Lei Qingshan: "That's it, that's it, since Zhou Wenzhao has been ambushed, this matter will end here!" It's just that I hope that after General Guo goes back, he will strictly restrain his subordinates, and there will be no more black sheep like Zhou Wenzhao! ”
Now that the border war is tight, Guo Dingguang is a rare general, if he is dealt with together, it will not only attract the opposition of Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncle and nephew, but also make the border soldiers chill, so Wang Fucai will stop and no longer investigate.
Guo Dingguang pulled out the long sword inserted in Zhou Wenzhao's body, wiped it clean on his body, returned the sword into the sheath, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord Dudu, after the last general goes back, he will check all the guards under him one by one, and deal with all the problems that are found, and thoroughly understand the black sheep of my Fenyang Wei!" ”
Wang Fu nodded and said, "Because the generals can't leave the station for a long time, General Guo, please go back!" ”
Guo Dingguang hesitantly looked at the booklet that Wang Fu threw on the table, and said hesitantly: "Your Excellency the Governor, the last general has the courage to ask, what should Zhou Wenzhao's family and property be done in Fenyang?" In fact, it was the idea of beating the five thousand taels of gold and the thirty thousand taels of silver.
Wang Fu snorted coldly: "How to deal with it? Don't you, the commander, know? Still want to ask me? ”
Guo Dingguang was choked by Wang Fu, his face suddenly froze, and he said "goodbye" and turned his head and left. Some soldiers who had already followed ran over to lift Zhou Wenzhao's body.
