What year is it Chapter 19: Disciples of the Zhou family
When Du Hongyuan heard this, he looked at Xiao Ran, who was jumping up and down in the room and trying his best to imitate it, and couldn't help but think in his heart, with Yang Jiulang's character, he used Zhang Ang to block the sword and let himself gain the first opportunity, which seems to be Yang Jiulang's style of acting, so it seems that this Zhang Ang is not lying, not to mention that the wound on his chest can't be faked. It's just that it seems that this thief's martial arts are not bad, and the safety of this Zhang Ang in the future should be more cautious.
"I will investigate this matter clearly, and you will directly connect with me in the future, Zhang Fu happened to give me an excuse to come to the door." Du Hongyuan said in a calm voice, "In a few days, it will be King Qi's birthday banquet, are the gifts ready?" ”
Xiao Ran couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Jiulang's death had been fooled by himself. "It's ready, I wonder if you have anything else to order?"
"Well, the Zuo Protector has arrived in Qingzhou, I received his secret order, on the occasion of the birthday banquet of the King of Qi, I will definitely ask you for advice, as long as you give a policy according to the words on this bag, the King of Qi will be very happy when he arrives!" Du Hongyuan's face was expressionless, and after finishing speaking, he took out a blue cloth bag from his sleeve and put it on the table. There were no waves on Du Hongyuan's face, and he couldn't see any changes in his expression, only the beard on his face, twitching up and down with the twitching of the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, I don't know what the best way to go? How do you know that King Qi will definitely ask me for advice? Xiao Ran looked cautious and asked in a cautious whisper.
"Lord Dharma Protector has his own message path, you don't need to ask more, just do what we say!" Du Hongyuan glared at Xiao Ran dissatisfied, don't think that this guy has no Yang Jiulang's surveillance by his side, so he will become more and more self-aggrandized.
"Yes...... Be...... The little one understands, but this assassin hasn't been caught yet, and those Xibei goods outside are not useful, so it doesn't matter if the little one loses his life, and if he misses the major events of the Holy Sect, it's not good. Xiao Ran cried with a face and said to Du Hongyuan aggrievedly.
As soon as Du Hongyuan saw Xiao Ran's appearance, he became irritable again, this girl chirping is really annoying.
"Okay, I'll personally go to Zhouzhuang outside the city in a while, and let them send a master to protect you! Don't go out for the time being these days, stay in the house and recuperate! After Du Hongyuan finished speaking, he stood up impatiently, he really couldn't stand this girl's chirping.
Xiao Ran saw that Du Hongyuan got up and wanted to leave, so he hurriedly bowed down to send it. "Then there will be a patrol of Laudu, and the little one can ask the inspector to inspect the adult."
Du Hongyuan went out of Zhang's mansion and went straight to Zhoujiazhuang, twenty miles outside the city. This place is the base camp of the Zhou family, the three religions and nine streams of Qingzhou City, and there is nothing that the Zhou family does not know.
"Please let me know, Du Hongyuan of Qingzhou Mansion wants to see Mrs. Zhou!" Du Hongyuan arrived in Zhoujiazhuang, but he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hugged his fists and gave courtesies to let Zhoujiazhuang's subordinates report.
After a while, someone from the Zhou family greeted him, and the person who came was Zhou Fu, the steward of the Zhou family.
"Du Xunjian, what kind of wind blew you here?" Zhou Fupi greeted with a smile.
"Steward Zhou, I'm here to ask to see Mrs. Zhou, I don't know if it's convenient for Mrs. Zhou?" Du Hongyuan said humbly and politely to Zhou Fu.
"The old lady is getting old, she will just fall asleep, you know, the old man doesn't sleep well, it's rare to fall asleep, it's not easy to disturb!" Zhou Fu coped with it. After all, there are a lot of gray transactions in the Zhou family this week, and Du Hongyuan is a person in the government, so it is naturally good not to deal with it without dealing with it.
Du Hongyuan saw Zhou Fu perfunctory himself, but there was nothing he could do, the Zhou family was not something he could shake. But now that his cowhide has been blown out, he can't find a disciple of the Zhou family to be Xiao Ran's guard, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous.
"Steward Zhou, the recent assassination of Zhang Yixuan, a gentry in Qingzhou Mansion, must be known to the Zhou family! Now the prefect is frowning, Qingzhou Mansion has always been simple and simple, and now there is such an illegal thing, it seems that Qingzhou City should have a big storm to rectify. Du Hongyuan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhou Fu with a smile.
When Zhou Fu heard this, how could he not know that this was Du Hongyuan's threatening words, many of the transactions done by the Zhou family were disgraceful, if Du Hongyuan came to the door with three shifts of soap servants in three days to find fault, his own business would not be able to do. "Du patrol wait, let's go see if the old lady is awake!"
"Phew...... What the hell! Du Hongyuan was disdainful in his heart, we don't have the big ability to deal with these people, and we can still do the work of stirring up trouble.
"Du Inspection, the old lady just woke up, please go in." Zhou Fu was running out at this time and said.
Du Hongyuan glanced at Zhou Fu obliquely, and then strode into Zhou's house, and after bypassing a rockery lake, Du Hongyuan came to the main hall of Zhou's house.
Above the main hall, there is an old man with crane hair and a childish face, this old man is wearing a white apricot square brocade crane, a dark sapphire green spider pattern wide belt is tied around his waist, and he holds two iron galls in the palm of his left hand.
"Du Hongyuan has seen Old Lady Zhou!" Du Hongyuan straightened his robe and saluted respectfully.
"Well, why did the Du Inspection Institute come?" Mrs. Zhou's voice was crisp and loud, where did she look like a seventy or eighty-year-old man!
"Taigong doesn't know that there has been a bold thief in Qingzhou City recently, and he dares to tattoo Zhang Ang, a gentry in Qingzhou City. The prefect was under a lot of pressure, so he came down to ask a disciple of the Zhou family to be a guard for Zhang Gongzi! In order to be foolproof. Du Hongyuan said slowly.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning, he had also heard of the Qingzhou assassins, if you want to talk about the Qingzhou territory, the famous assassins and killers mentioned in the city, which one must not come to Zhoujiazhuang to worship a mountain gate first, and now there is such a number one person, but Zhoujiazhuang doesn't know any inside information, which is very abnormal.
"Well, maintaining the place and protecting the territory and the people is exactly what we should do, so be it! I'll send Xinghuai to go there myself! "The old lady actually sent his own grandson, which is big enough, but ah, this is also the old lady in order to find out which people dare to commit crimes under his nose, so he sent Zhou Xinghuai.
When Du Hongyuan heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, Zhou Xinghuai is the heirloom of the heirs! With him on the horse, everything will be fine.
"Then thank the old lady here, I don't know when Gongzi Zhou will leave?"
"Zhou Fu, go and call Xinghuai, and immediately go with Du to inspect it!" Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said magnificently.
After a while, a young man who was only about twenty years old walked over.
"Xinghuai has seen grandpa!"
Zhou Xinghuai's face is like a crown of jade, the jade tree is in the wind, and his slender figure is matched with a handsome face, he is really a beautiful son.
"Xinghuai, it's time for you to go through the training, this time you go with Du Patrol, complete the task and come back!" Mrs. Zhou said after a while.
