Late at night, Zhou Xiong was introduced into Yang Jin's study by the housekeeper in the Taishi Mansion. Pushing the door in, Zhou Xiong lowered his head slightly and followed the housekeeper into the study.

"Master Taishi, Lord Zhou is here."

The housekeeper said to Yang Jin, who was sitting quietly at the desk. Yang Jin snorted lightly and said, "You retreat first." ”

The butler took the order, exited the study, and then closed the door of the study.

"The lower official has seen the Taishi, I don't know what the Taishi is doing when he comes to the lower official late at night?"

Zhou Xiong looked at Yang Jin and said cautiously.

"Hmph"

Yang Jin snorted angrily, raised his eyes, and glanced at Zhou Xiong. Zhou Xiong was a little heartbroken by Yang Jin's eyes, and then heard Yang Jin say, "Has Lord Zhou forgotten the old man's previous instructions?" ”

Yang Jin's mouth was full of dissatisfaction, and Zhou Xiong knew what Yang Jin meant by what he said.

"Taishi, Zhou Xiong is just a small Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how dare he face King Jing who has military merits, and I hope that Taishi can forgive the lower officials."

Yes, although Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a big official in the eyes of many people, even the people of Shangjing, he was terrified when he heard Zhou Xiong's name, but in front of Jiuhuang, who had military merits, Jiuhuang still put a big hat on Zhou Xiong's head, how dare Zhou Xiong resist Jiuhuang.

Hearing Zhou Xiong's explanation, Yang Jin didn't say anything more.

The study suddenly fell into silence, which made Zhou Xiong, who had never figured out what Yang Jin called him for, feel a little scared, and kept guessing Yang Jin's purpose in his heart, what could he do to make Yang Jin exchange him late at night.

Just as Zhou Xiong was guessing what Yang Jin's purpose was for calling him, Yang Jin's words suddenly rang out in the quiet study.

"You found evidence that Xu Yang's greed for ink was wronged?"

Hearing about Yang Jin's culture, Zhou Xiong's heart instantly ordered Yang Jin to summon him, and after thinking about it, Zhou Xiong said: "Xiaguan did not find out the evidence that Lord Xu's greed for ink was wronged, but the situation on the side of the Jiuhuang County Lord, Xiaguan didn't know. ”

Zhou Xiong said it truthfully, and then looked at Yang Jin's expression cautiously.

Yang Jin didn't quite believe Zhou Xiong's words, because he had always had a bad premonition in his heart; It seems that Jiuhuang and they already have the evidence that Xu Yang was slandered, or Xu Liang may have fallen into their hands, with the uneasiness in his heart, Yang Jin looked at Zhou Xiong seriously.

Finding that there was no dodge in his eyes, and there was no other emotion on his face, Yang Jin had to believe Zhou Xiong's words before there was no evidence.

"I heard that Lord Zhou's son fell in love with a singer from the Drunken Spring House some time ago?"

Yang Jin suddenly looked at Zhou Xiong with a smile on his face, patted his hand on Zhou Xiong's π body, and then said with a nonchalant expression.

Zhou Xiong suddenly heard Yang Jin's words, and his body couldn't help but stumble, how could Yang Jin know about his unlucky son?

"The master is joking, the dog has been studying with the master at home, how could he go to a place like Zuichun Tower?"

Zhou Xiong said with an unnatural look on his face.

As soon as Yang Jin heard Zhou Xiong's words, he turned around, turned his back to Zhou Xiong and said, "Really?" How did I hear that the son of Lord Zhou's family had a conflict with someone because he fell in love with a singer in Zuichun Tower, and he also beat someone to death? ”

Although Yang Import said that he had heard about it, Zhou Xiong knew that Yang Jin must have checked it at this time, and everything was in Yang Jin's hands.

Seeing that Zhou Xiong didn't speak, Yang Jin continued: "Lord Zhou, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, indulged his son-in-law because of a conflict with someone in a drunken spring building and beat someone to death. ”

Yang Jin's words were neither light nor serious, and he said them slowly, but when he heard these words in Zhou Xiong's ears, they were hovering in his mind as if asking for his life.

"Taishi, Xiaguan has always wanted to follow Taishi and get a blessing for the Heavenly Empire, and I hope that Taishi can bypass my ignorant dog when he sees that Xiaguan is so loyal to you, and Xiaguan promises that he will bury the dead so that he can comfort his family."

Zhou Xiong was scared at this moment, he was afraid that his only son would ruin his future because of a woman in a green house, and he was even more afraid of losing the black gauze hat on his head because of this matter; Therefore, at this time, Zhou Xiong had to show his loyalty to Yang Jin.

Yang Jin laughed when he heard Zhou Xiong's words, and said: "Look at what Lord Zhou said, the old man is just making a joke, why should Lord Zhou take it seriously, your old man has also seen it, and he is a talent that can be created." ”

Zhou Xiong's son's name is Zhou Sa, and the name given to Zhou Sa, who is still Zhou Xiong's father, the deceased old lady of the Zhou family, means that he can be dashing.

Indeed, Zhou Sa did not waste the name that the old lady gave him, he was dashing by nature, lingering in the flowers all day long, and waiting for Zhou Xiong to solve the mess all day long.

No, a few days ago, I fell in love with a girl who had not yet budged in the heart of the drunken spring building, and spent a lot of money to buy someone, but I didn't want this woman to have a fiancé.

was only forced to be sold into the drunken spring building, and then was discovered by her fiancé, and then Zhou Sa had a quarrel with the two, and he has always been used to being sought after by the people around him, and a few fox friends and dog friends around him said in his ear, which made Zhou Sa angry for a while, and accidentally beat people to death; Eating made a bit of a fuss, and Zhou Xiong spent a lot of effort to suppress the matter.

And such a person is indeed a talent that can be created in Yang Jin's eyes, because with Zhou Sa, Yang Jin can better control Zhou Xiong, who let the Zhou family, which has always been prosperous, only have such an unsuccessful son as Zhou Sa in Zhou Xiong's generation?

In order not to let those Zhou Xiong, who are eyeing the Zhou family's property, have no margin for this only son; For the sake of Zhou Sa, Zhou Xiong can do anything.

When Zhou Xiong heard Yang Jin say this, he was overjoyed; Although he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, for his only son, Zhou Xiong has no words on him, but Zhou Sa is simply a piece of mud that can't support the wall; And now, with Yang Jin's words, in Zhou Xiong's opinion, Yang Jin means that he is willing to help his unsuccessful son, how can Zhou Xiong's heart not be happy or excited.

"The lower official has thanked the Taishi, and the lower official must be the first to look forward to the Taishi, and he will definitely do his best to help the Taishi."

Zhou Xiong said to Yang Jin gratefully.

As an old fox and a prince, Yang Jin heard Zhou Xiong's words, how could he not know what he meant, he did not explain to Zhou Xiong that he misunderstood the meaning of his words, but he was very happy to see Zhou Xiong now.

"Lord Zhou doesn't need to be so polite to the old man, you and I are also officials in the same dynasty, we are all colleagues, and we should take care of each other."

It is rumored that Taishi Yang Jin has always been difficult to speak, but now Zhou Xiong, who heard Yang Jin's words, is secretly happy in his heart, and Taishi does not necessarily have to get along with outsiders, but is very easy to talk, is it because Taishi is more important than me?

"What the master said is very true." Zhou Xiong responded.

Yang Jin turned back to his body, looked at Zhou Xiong and said, "The old man has something he wants to ask Lord Zhou to do him a favor. ”

Zhou Xiong heard Yang Jin's words, looked at the seriousness on his face, and thought of what the two of them said just now, Zhou Xiong immediately said: "Taishi's business is Xiaguan's business, Taishi can tell Xiaguan directly if there is anything, and Xiaguan must solve problems for Taishi." ”

Yang Jin smiled, looked at Zhou Xiong and said, "This matter is just a matter of effort for Lord Zhou. ”

Hearing Yang Jin say this, Zhou Xiong's heart was originally worried that Yang Jin would be asked to do something big, but now when he heard Yang Jin say this, Zhou Xiong's heart was also relaxed.

But after Zhou Xiong heard what Yang Jin asked him to do, a trace of remorse flashed in Zhou Xiong's heart in an instant.

"I want Lord Zhou to let Xu Yang die in prison."

Yang Jin said suddenly, Zhou Xiong thought he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Yang Jin's serious face, a trace of panic flashed in Zhou Xiong's heart.

Let Xu Yang die in prison? This is to let him kill people, and he still kills the former important ministers of the court, the official residence of the second grade of the Ministry of Rites; Now that the lord of Jiuhuang County and the third prince are investigating Xu Yang's case and overturning the case for Xu Yang, if he lets Xu Yang die in prison, isn't he setting himself on fire?

"Too... Too... Division..."Zhou Xiong looked at Yang Jin, and stammered for a long time, and could only call out the title of Yang Jin.

Yang Jin looked at Zhou Xiong's expression, looked at the shock in his eyes, and knew the doubts in his heart, and then, Yang Jin said: "You heard it right, what I said is to let Xu Yang die in the prison, and kill yourself in the prison in fear of crime." ”

Yang Jin's words couldn't be clearer. Suddenly, Zhou Xiong remembered that the last time Emperor Zhao Yun asked him to investigate whether Xu Yang's greed for ink was real, and the Taishi Yang Jin had ordered the little servant in the mansion to send him a message, asking him to close the case as soon as possible.

There is also the doubt in his heart, how could Xu Yang, who had always been honest, be greedy for ink, the lord of Jiuhuang did not hesitate to risk his life to break into the Jinluan Palace and ask the emperor to overturn the case for Xu Yang, but Yang Taishi kept stopping him; Could it be that all this was caused by Taishi Yang? Zhou Xiong was shocked by the thought that flashed through his heart.

He looked at Yang Jin, who was facing away from him in front of him, and Zhou Xiong's heart flashed with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, it is to curry favor with Yang Jin to get a good future for his unsuccessful son, Yang Jin is a Taishi, although he is not as good as Yuan Taifu, and his students are all over the Heavenly Empire; But as the master of the Heavenly Dynasty, Yang Jin has countless protégés, and if he climbs the big tree of Yang Jin, Zhou Sa's future will definitely be bright.

But if he does this and kills Xu Yang in prison, then he is facing the Lord of Jiuhuang County and the Third Prince, and this is not someone he can offend.

Zhou Xiong thought in his heart, and in the end, Zhou Xiong still selfishly chose to pave a bright future for his son.
