The uneasiness in my heart was expanding, and I remembered what Zhou Sinian said about taking the rebel approach, so I hurriedly grabbed Zhou Sinian: "Brother Nian, Zhou Nan and Zege are the most loyal people around us, and we must always give them a chance to make them clear." ”

Zhou Sinian was silent, I hurriedly turned my head and asked Zhou Nan: "Zhou Nan, what did you do?" Where did Zege go? Zhou Nan knelt on the ground, and only answered the second half of my sentence: "No, she is fine in the room." Then he stopped talking.

Zhou Sinian glanced at him and said slowly: "Anan, Mrs. said that you are loyal, are you ashamed?" Zhou Nan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhou Sinian didn't stop and continued to say in a low tone: "I brought you back from that isolated island and raised you, can you be regarded as your master?" "Yes." Zhou Nan choked up.

Zhou Sinian raised his eyes to look at me again and asked Zhou Nan: "Madame took Qiu Zege out of Sun City and recommended her to be an official, she has no official to do, and let her be in the mansion and treat her as a young lady, can she be regarded as her master?" "Yes." Zhou Nan's voice became quieter.

Zhou Sinian sneered and asked in a disdainful tone: "Then who are you loyal to?" Zhou Nan raised his head and said excitedly: "We are all loyal to the city lord and his wife." "Hehe," Zhou Sinian laughed, "last night"

Zhou Nan interrupted Zhou Sinian excitedly, it was the first time I saw Zhou Nan interrupt Zhou Sinian's words, but fortunately, Zhou Sinian didn't care, and listened to him: "They didn't come to kill the city lord, they wanted to invite the city lord to do something together, kill the tyrannical emperor, and restore the Zhu family." Zhou Sinian said with a faint smile: "I seem to have told you before, I won't do this kind of thing." ”

"But" Zhou Nan wanted to argue again, but Zhou Sinian interrupted him: "But you think I'm wrong like this, and then you want to join forces with this rabble to push me to the point of no return, and also push the people of Li to the point of no return, right?" ”

Zhou Sinian said, slowly walked to the door, opened the door suddenly, Qiu Zege's figure flashed quickly, and I hurriedly shouted: "Zege!" Qiu Zege was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Sinian didn't wear a coat and was pushed back by a gust of cold wind. I hurriedly poured him a cup of ginger tea, and he took it and drank it, and threw the teacup on the ground in frustration.

"Zhou Nan, go and chase Zege back." I saw that Zhou Sinian was so atmospheric, and hurriedly said. Zhou Nan agreed, stood up and left. "Stop!" Zhou Sinian shouted, "No need to chase!" Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. ”

Qiu Zege's family is a native of Sun City. Back then, after Zhou Sinian defeated the natives, he once wanted to appease the natives, but the goal was not achieved, and within a year, the natives turned against the water, although they were finally exterminated, and many people died on Zhou Sinian's side.

Still, there is a small number of natives who are willing to live and work in peace and contentment in Cité Soleil, and Cité Soleil treats them equally, and after two years of intermarriage, it is no longer possible to tell who is native. Now, as the city lord of Sun City, Zhou Sinian's words are very inappropriate. I hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Nian, your words are serious. ”

Zhou Sinian waved his hand and said, "I said something wrong," he turned his head to Zhou Nan, who was kneeling again: "Are you ready to go?" Zhou Nan kowtowed again and again: "Zhou Nan is a member of the Zhou family in life, and a ghost of the Zhou family in death, beg the city lord not to drive Zhou Nan away." Zhou Sinian said: "In this case, write a letter of resignation and leave Qiu Zege." ”

I lost my voice and said, "How can this work?" Zhou Sinian said angrily: "Shut up! I was startled and sat down stupidly. Zhou Sinian then calmly said to Zhou Nan: "You can not write, I can also let you go to her." "I looked at Zhou Nan, I really hoped that he would stand up and go to Qiu Zege. Who knows, Zhou Nan said: "I'm not leaving, I'm writing." ”

Zhou Sinian said: "Well, from now on, you are not allowed to break the thread, if you violate it, I am afraid that the family law of my Sun City will be enough for your tyranny." Zhou Nan said: "How can it be compared?" The young girl didn't do anything, she was killed so badly, how could the city lord ever hurt someone? ”

Zhou Sinian said: "Qingqing is caused by the torture of the Dragon Guard, what does it have to do with the emperor? Ask what you don't know, how are you going to be judged? Zhou Nan was silent.

"Since you don't plan to leave, I'll tell you why I don't go along with those people." Zhou Sinian said, "This waterway, you and I walked through when we entered Beijing, and now we go out of Beijing, what's the difference?" Zhou Nan said: "There are many more ships, and the crops are growing well." ”

"That's right. Since the emperor's accession to the throne, he has cleared up the accumulated evils, eliminated corruption, reformed the tax system, and accumulated one by one, so that there is this peaceful and prosperous era. You said tyrannical," Zhou Sinian sneered, "Ling Chi can't stop the wolf ambitions of these people. Tyranny towards those who pervert the law is mercy to those who abide by the law. ”

At this time, Zhou Yang came to report that Qiu Zege grabbed the boat and fled to the shore, but the boat somehow capsized on the way. "It's not just Qiu Zege," Zhou Yang said, "there are a lot of corpses floating down from the upstream, like those people last night, but we just knocked over their boat last night, these people are water ghosts, they can't die, they were killed later." ”

I saw a look of surprise on Zhou Sinian's face, and knew that he didn't know about it, so I hurriedly helped him put on his coat and walked to the deck. Zhou Nan was also very anxious, and came out with him, I don't know if he was worried about Qiu Zege or his companions.

I saw that the water was full of wreckage of the boat that had been smashed last night, and between these wreckages, there were corpses in black night clothes, and their bare skin was white and swollen from blisters. The boats all around were in a hurry, and some people stopped their boats and ran to the shore, probably to report to the officials.

Zhou Sinian said: "Fish one up and see how it died." Zhou Yang got his life and left. After a while, a corpse was carried over, it was a young man in his twenties, dressed in black, with prominent eyes, but his face was calm, as if he had not foreseen the arrival of death.

Zhou Nan took off the corpse's clothes, Zhou Sinian squatted down to take a closer look, and said, "He died before he fell into the water," he covered his hand with a handkerchief, raised the corpse's chin, looked at it, and sighed: "Throw it down, along with the three last night." ”

Zhou Nan looked at him in surprise, and stopped talking, Zhou Sinian said: "Someone will come to salvage them soon, let them be buried together!" Zhou Nan didn't speak again, called a few people to come, and threw the body into the river.

Zhou Sinian threw the handkerchief in his hand down the river in disgust and walked back to the cabin, Zhou Nan followed him in, and told the girl to bring water, Zhou Sinian carefully washed his hands twice before he stopped.

I cautiously asked: "Qiu Zege, won't you ......" He looked at me and said, "Qiu Zege's water nature is better than that of fish, she won't die." "I think about it, they are people on the island, and they are not afraid of the sea, what is such a calm river? Putting down his mind and not thinking about Qiu Zege, he asked, "Can you see how these people died?" ”

Zhou Sinian said: "The dragon guards did it, we were used as bait in the front, they caught people in the back, and killed those who couldn't be caught or didn't need to be caught." He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no need to arrest these people, they are all puppets who have been accused, and they will not know anything, and they will not say anything if they know." Torture is of no use to them, because they are not afraid of pain and they are not afraid of death. ”
