Chapter 151: The Scapegoat
"Insatiable and timid?"
It seems that it is the first time that he has heard his father say this, and Zhou Xiaohu has also come to be interested.
"Humph! He accepted my dowry back then, but then he didn't keep quiet, and he didn't admit it after spending our family's money, and I haven't seen him come to us with his daughter for so many years. β
Snorted coldly, although Zhou Zichuan said that he was not a good person, he still looked down on villains.
"If I wasn't busy with the affairs of the court and didn't bother to pay attention to him, did he think he would still be able to live in his hometown! This time he encountered a big disaster, but he remembered me, not thinking about marrying his daughter to you for some benefits. β
Shaking his head with disdain, Zhou Zichuan sneered.
"Father, the one I heard about, the one I had to marry my cousin......"
Thinking of what he heard, Zhou Xiaohu was both entangled and worried.
What fate is determined, you must marry a cousin of the same sect to ensure a lifetime of glory and wealth. But this cousin's fiancΓ©e was forced to death by herself, how could there be a cousin to marry, which made Zhou Xiaohu not know what to do.
"Alas, this matter is indeed a bit tricky, but I have already asked Daoist Zixia about it, and Daoist said that it doesn't have to be to marry a living person.
Give your cousin a secret marriage, and then set out a room in the backyard for her tablet, so that she can be your original wife in name. This way, it won't affect your life. β
With a light sigh, something that had been planned went wrong, which no one expected. Fortunately, Daoist Zixia gave a solution, which made Zhou Zichuan breathe a sigh of relief.
"What, Hades, Hades? Do you have to make her a wife? β
As soon as he heard Zhou Zichuan's words, Zhou Xiaohu was immediately startled.
"What are you afraid of, Daoist Zixia will come back to deal with this matter personally, with Daoist Zixia here, what do you have to worry about.
Besides, it is to nominally give her the status of a wife, this is what you know and I know, and Daoist Zixia knows, externally, you still haven't married a wife. β
Startled by Zhou Xiaohu's sudden exclamation, Zhou Zichuan glared at Zhou Xiaohu dissatisfied.
"That's it, what else are you dissatisfied with, if it weren't for your own mistakes, would things be so troublesome!"
Seeing that Zhou Zichuan was angry, Zhou Xiaohu immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to shout anymore.
Although he didn't dare to speak out anymore, Zhou Xiaohu thought of marrying a tablet, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel good, and he couldn't help but make a bitter face.
Ah Song stood aside, always looking at his nose without squinting, even if Zhou Zichuan and Zhou Xiaohu did not carry him behind his back, but he still looked like I didn't hear anything, standing quietly in the corner.
"Ah Song, recently asked your people to keep an eye on the Great Prince's Mansion, and once they saw Zhou Yan coming out, they immediately took action. If Zhou Yan still has people from the Great Prince's Mansion by his side, then he has to create an opportunity for Zhou Yan to get rid of the people from the Great Prince's Mansion. β
Looking at Ah Song, who was standing on the side as if it were air, Zhou Zichuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Remember, you must be careful when you act, let the people who monitor the Great Prince's Mansion pay attention, and don't expose it."
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand, my subordinates will retire first, and I will arrange manpower immediately."
With a fist salute towards Zhou Zichuan, Ah Song immediately turned around and left the study.
"Father, how long will it take for Daoist Zixia to return to Anjing City?"
was depressed on the side, and Zhou Xiaohu could only accept Zhou Zichuan's arrangement.
"If there are no accidents, I will be able to return in about a month. Hu'er, you have been honest with me recently, there are still a lot of people who pay attention to your matter, don't cause me any more trouble recently. β
Stared at Zhou Xiaohu for a moment, Zhou Zichuan hated iron but not steel.
"Well, you left me in the house recently and didn't go out. Even if Qin Lianshui and Wu Tai come to you, you are not allowed to leave the house. β
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zichuan was still not at ease, so he shouted out the door again.
"Lao Zhu, come in."
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper Lao Zhu pushed the door and walked in, and respectfully bowed to Zhou Zichuan.
"What do you command?"
"Lao Zhu, you wrote it down for me, in the past month, the young master has not been allowed to go out of the Guozhang Mansion for half a step, even if Qin Lianshui and Wu Tai come to find the young master, the young master is not allowed to leave the mansion with them, you know!"
Commanding Lao Zhu, Zhou Zichuan didn't forget to stare at Zhou Xiaohu, who was standing aside and sighing.
"The old slave knows, please rest assured, master, he will never let the young master go out of the Guozhang Mansion for half a step."
Lao Zhu patted his chest and assured Zhou Zichuan with a serious face.
Their conversation and Lao Zhu's assurance, Zhou Xiaohu, who was looking directly, kept grinning on the side, and his heart was full of wails.
"Lao Zhu, how are the things you are preparing?"
After gossiping, Zhou Zichuan turned pale and asked about business.
"Back to the master, the two abductors who dumped the corpses have already taken care of it, just waiting for the master's orders, and they can be sent to Jing Zhaoyin at any time."
Lao Zhu still had a calm face, and answered Zhou Zichuan's question in a low voice.
"Well, that's good, have you made the conditions clear to them?"
Zhou Zichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, the matter was basically settled, and now it was up to these two people to confess their guilt.
"It's all been negotiated, and they've all agreed. Ah Gan's old mother is still alive, and his wife and a pair of children are also at home. Ah Zhuang's parents died, and he also had a wife and a son.
After they were beheaded, the Governor's Mansion would take care of their families until their children got married. β
The arrangements for these things were all discussed early in the morning, so after Lao Zhu finished it, his answer was also very clear.
"Okay, count them to know the current affairs, otherwise, they will still die, and their families will also bury them!"
With a faint smile, Zhou Zichuan was very satisfied with Ah Gan and Ah Zhuang's knowledge of current affairs, as well as Lao Zhu's ability to do things.
"Father, you want Ah Gan and Ah Zhuang to ......, do you want them to ......?"
Zhou Xiaohu listened to it for a long time, and finally reacted to what Zhou Zichuan wanted to do, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After all, Ah Gan and Ah Zhuang can be said to be his henchmen, and they are already very easy to use, and after losing the two of them at once, Zhou Xiaohu still feels a little reluctant.
"You know, it's such a big deal, someone has to come forward to take the blame down. As your henchmen, they don't do much to bully men and women on weekdays, and everyone's body is not clean, so it's perfect for them to take the blame. β
Zhou Zichuan made the decision, and the matter was dealt with in this way, and the scapegoat was ready, just waiting for Zhou Zichuan to go to the palace in person tomorrow to meet the emperor, and come to ask for guilt. (To be continued.) )
