Zhou Kang came to Jiangning County, and specially visited the county government, which was beyond Su Tiancheng's expectations.

It is said that Zhou Shunqing's matter has made Zhou Yanru hate himself very much, at least he didn't care about Zhou Yanru's face, but Zhou Kang came to visit him, which is too unreasonable.

Wu Weiye is still patrolling in Nanzhili, and in late October, he will return to the capital.

Zhou Shunqing's decree has already come down, and before Wu Weiye leaves Nanzhili, it will be executed, and it will take less than ten days. This should be Zhou Yanru's most painful time, seeing his own nephew being beheaded immediately, but he was powerless to rescue, enduring both mental and physical torture.

Zhou Kang is Zhou Yanru's housekeeper and staff.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for important ministers of the imperial court to have public staff, especially cabinet ministers, and their housekeepers, including some guests in the palace, are actually staff, and the relationship between these people and officials is extraordinary, and their minds are definitely not simple.

Zhou Kang's identity is different after all, no matter how long Zhou Yanru can serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, in Su Tiancheng's opinion, Zhou Yanru is still good, and he is not overt about nonsense.

Because he is far away from the capital, he is not very clear about many things that happen in the imperial court, but after almost half a year, the previous historical cognition is collapsing little by little, for example, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are all recognized as traitors, but unfortunately they haven't felt it yet, on the contrary, hundreds of years later, the authority and scheming of some leading cadres are much more powerful.

It's still in the third hall. It was a strange meeting.

Zhou Kang's attitude has changed a lot, his face is no longer reserved, and the situation he saw for the first time in the inn is completely different, and he can still find sadness and decadence. This may also be because of Zhou Shunqing's matter, which stimulated him, as the butler of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, he couldn't think of a good way to do such a big thing, and the blow was imaginable.

"I came to visit Master Su in the next place, it was a little abrupt, and I asked Lord Su not to think too much, and the master asked me to bring a letter below. Please take a look at Lord Su, if you have any thoughts and opinions, if it is convenient, let me know. ”

Zhou Kang put the letter on the desk, and looked at Su Tiancheng with a pair of bright eyes.

Su Tiancheng opened the letter unhurriedly and looked at it slowly.

After reading the letter, the color on Su Tiancheng's face. Not much has changed.

The content of the letter is actually not simple. Zhou Yanru specially mentioned Zhou Shunqing's matter, and made an explanation, he really didn't know about Zhou Shunqing's evil deeds, he had some protection before, but he didn't expect it. Zhou Shunqing will cause such a big thing, he is arrogant, lawless, and innocent, and this time Zhou Shunqing will be decided. It was he who took the initiative to propose it to the emperor, and suggested that the holy decree and the palace report be issued for all officials to see.

Zhou Yanru also proposed to confiscate Zhou Shunqing's mansion and family property, which can be regarded as atonement. In the letter, he entrusted the county government of Jiangning County to help handle this matter.

After all, Zhou Yanru is the first assistant of the cabinet, and when he writes such a letter, his tone is so humble, there is an article in it.

Su Tiancheng thought about it a lot, but there was one thing he admired, if he got to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, no matter how big the problem was, he would not necessarily write such a letter to a six-grade magistrate.

As for the reply, he also decided, and he only said it verbally, and he would not reply.

"Steward Zhou, I've read the letter, I don't know if Lord Zhou has any orders, what needs to be done by the officials, just say it."

"No, the lord has instructed, if Lord Su has any different opinions, after saying it, he will be responsible for bringing it back, this time, Zhou Shunqing's case, the lord did not expect it at all."

"As the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Zhou has every opportunity, and it is normal that he has no time to pay attention to these things, but there are some officials below who should report it as soon as possible, and it will not lead to the current situation."

"What Master Su said is very yes, I have already gone to Yixing in the next, the lord left his hometown, almost 20 years, he has never had the opportunity, he paid attention to the things in his hometown, and he was not able to take care of his family, Zhou Shunqing's matter is a big lesson, when he left the capital, the lord was heartbroken, and entrusted to him, after returning to his hometown, he must ask the children of his hometown to be a man and do his duty."

"Lord Zhou's self-discipline, the lower officials are very admired, I will definitely handle the things mentioned in the letter, I will definitely handle it in time, I don't know if there are other things in Steward Zhou."

Zhou Kang hesitated slightly.

"When I came down to Jiangning County, I used to think about whether I could meet Zhou Shunqing, this is just the meaning of the next, it has nothing to do with others, this is not in line with the rules, if Master Su feels embarrassed, forget it."

"This is not a dilemma, Zhou Shunqing is temporarily detained in the county jail, I will arrange for Liu Dianshi to take Steward Zhou to meet Zhou Shunqing."

Liu Zhongji took Zhou Kang and went directly to the county jail in front.

Of course, Su Tiancheng has his own analysis, and Zhou Yanru wrote this letter, which means that his position as the first assistant to the cabinet has been seriously shaken, and he may be dismissed at any time.

The meaning expressed in the letter, not to mention whether it has a deeper meaning, but the meaning of protecting the family is very clear, there is an example of Kuang Siming in front, besides, Zhou Shunqing is not accused of rebellion after all, and it will not implicate his family, Zhou Yanru can make such a decision, it is not simple.

Soon, Zhou Kang came back, and his face was very bad.

"Master Su, I have already seen Zhou Shunqing below, and there is nothing else to do, so I will leave."

"Steward Zhou walks slowly, why don't you leave after eating at the county office."

"Xie Lu, Lord Xie Su's kindness, I have been coming out for a while, so I should rush back to the capital as soon as possible."

After Zhou Kang left, Su Tiancheng thought for a while and immediately went to the county jail.

Inside the prison, there is something abnormal.

Zhou Shunqing was yelling, cursing incessantly, his voice spread far away, the cell head and the jailer did not pay attention, Zhou Shunqing was already in a separate cell, and in a few days, his head would fall to the ground, and there was not much time for shouting.

Seeing Su Tiancheng coming, Zhou Shunqing's eyes showed a look of resentment.

"Su Tiancheng, Lao Tzu has been beheaded, waiting for you below, you won't die well......"

The cell boss was about to go over to stop it, but Su Tiancheng raised his hand and signaled for Zhou Shunqing to continue.

"Nan Zhili doesn't have a good thing, Ying Tianfu doesn't have a good thing, Lao Tzu used to do this, it's just to play with a few women, but to occupy some property, what a big deal this is, some people don't say it in front of Lao Tzu, isn't this a thing, hmph, thinking about using Lao Tzu's head to get promoted and make a fortune, wishful thinking......"

Su Tiancheng asked the cell boss in a low voice, just now Steward Zhou came to the prison and said something to Zhou Shunqing, and the cell boss whispered, saying that Steward Zhou didn't say anything, but just asked Zhou Shunqing to go all the way, and when he was reincarnated in the next life, he wanted to be a good man.

Zhou Shunqing was still cursing, scolded to the back, and began to cry, and even his parents and Zhou Yanru were scolded by him all over again.

Su Tiancheng sighed softly, and he didn't have the heart to say some of the things he wanted to say before.

"Zhou Shunqing, you complained to everyone, but you didn't talk about yourself, you are dying, you still don't know how to repent, it seems that you are not unjustly dead, with your virtue, you will not escape death anywhere."

Zhou Shunqing raised his head suddenly, bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and his expression looked a little crazy.

"Hehe, if it's dead, it's dead, it's a hundred......"

instructed the cell boss, in the past few days, to give Zhou Shunqing something good to eat, and after drinking with him, Su Tiancheng left, Zhou Shunqing was originally a gentleman, he was spoiled when he was a child, and he never suffered hardship, although he did so many things that people and gods were angry about, he still felt that it was not a big deal.

Maybe death is really a relief, which freed Zhou Shunqing himself and made Zhou Yanru's burden lighter.

When he was a child, Su Tiancheng, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by Chunping's voice.

He came to Santang, where Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze, Liu Zhongji, Su Jun and others were waiting.

"My lord, Zhou Shunqing committed suicide in fear of sin."

Su Tiancheng immediately sobered up, and then on the top of his head, there were drops of sweat, and the emperor issued a holy decree, Zhou Shunqing needed to be tied up in the execution ground and executed, but it was unthinkable that this kid committed suicide in the prison.

"Liu Dianshi, what did the cell head and the jailer do, why didn't you stare at Zhou Shunqing, why did such a big thing happen to you, the emperor has already issued an order, Zhou Shunqing made a decision, how can you explain it now."

Yoo Joong Ki lowered his head, he didn't expect it.

After a while, Xiong Zijian and Liu Yunqing both came in.

After learning what happened, everyone frowned, although it was said that Zhou Shunqing was dead, but such a way of death and beheading at the binding execution ground were not very different, and the lack of this procedure for showing the public was a great protection for the individual's face.

After a while, Xiong Zijian spoke.

"My lord, if there is such a situation, I think it won't be a big deal, Zhou Shunqing is an official of the imperial court after all, and he is the nephew of Lord Zhou, the first assistant of the cabinet, if he is really beheaded at the execution ground to show the public, he will lose face, and he will choose to commit suicide in the prison, which is the best way to save face, which not only saves the face of Lord Zhou, but also saves the face of the court, and in detail, it is beneficial to all parties."
