"I didn't kill Zhou Quan, but I was killed by Zhou Quan, Zhao Sheng's idiot!"

In Xuzhou Mansion, Xiang Cong was stunned for a while, and then scolded.

While scolding, he felt a cold sweat break out.

Zhao Sheng's layout, he knows best, and Zhao Sheng's subordinates have also been bought by him, after he saw Zhou Quan always taking Wuyang with him, he was afraid that this matter would not work, and he deliberately found more than ten more people to help.

What I didn't expect was that more than a dozen people not only did not kill Zhou Quan, but were killed by Zhou Quan.

In the original plan of the Xiang family, after Zhou Quan's death, Zhao Sheng was the scapegoat thrown out, so that Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan's father and son brutally abused the people, forcing the rich people to take risks.

At that time, it may not be difficult to pass through the king of the county in Beijing, and it may not be difficult to put Zhou Fu to death.

But I didn't expect that this first step went wrong, and Zhao Sheng was killed after he failed to kill!

"It's a good thing this incompetent man was killed, he didn't say anything, did he?" Xiang Cong asked again.

"It is said that Zhao Sheng was captured at first, but when he reported to the official, he had already been killed."

Xiang Cong's source was Xuzhou Taishou Mansion, and it was already the day after the ambush of Zhou Quan.

Hearing that Zhao Sheng was not the first to die, he anxiously circled around, and then immediately decided: "Li Guojian is stunned, let the master come to Xuzhou immediately!" ”

He sent someone out, but he was only halfway there, and he called them back: "Just report the matter to the master, and as for anything else, don't say a word!" ”

Zhou Quan had just been attacked, and he was invited to Xuzhou by him, and he was attacked on the way back, even if Zhao Sheng didn't confide in him, this is the only one, and their Xiang family is the object of Zhou Quan's suspicion. If his father left the Li Guojian at this time, wouldn't he not be self-defeating?

Xiang Cong still had luck in his heart at this time, and the messenger galloped away and rushed to Li Guojian before telling Xiang An about the matter, and Xiang An was so angry that he threw the cup to the ground.

"Insufficient success, more than failure!"

In the Ronghua Hall, Xiang An shouted and reprimanded, and the messenger trembled with fright and did not dare to speak.

Xiang An paced a few steps around the room with his hands behind his back, so that he would not pin his hopes on luck. Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "After you go back, let Da Lang go to find Xu Taishou, and at any cost, you will get the Zhou family father and son away......"

Before the words fell, I heard a sound outside, and then my housekeeper ran in with a pale face: "Master, master, it's not good, our smelting pit has been closed!" ”

Xiang An took a breath of cold air, ignored the butler, and continued to instruct the messenger, "You leave quickly, don't delay!" ”

The messenger answered, out of the Ronghua Hall of Xiang's house, someone had already prepared a horse for him, he got on the horse and left to rush back to Xuzhou City, but saw a lewd looking man on the side of the road smiled at him.

The messenger thought that the man knew him, and he bowed his head, but he wondered who this man was. He had only driven his horse two paces, but he saw the man whistle, and he dismounted his horse as if he had met a beast, and suddenly a man rose up and threw him off his horse.

"Damn horses!" The messenger fell into a daze and scolded, but at this moment, he was caught by the two: "Boy, come with us!" ”

These two people were dressed in the clothes of the errand servants, and they looked like the people from the Yamen of the Governor of Liguojian!

The housekeeper of Xiangfu was at the door, and when he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he slammed the door shut, and then rushed back and shouted again: "Oh no, no good, master, the messenger has been caught!" ”

After listening to the housekeeper's words before and after, Xiang An frowned: "What a big guts...... He is clearly using the law of the country for personal use! ”

However, Xiang Anxin understood that no matter how loud he shouted in Ronghua Hall, he had no choice but to divide the Zhou family father and son, and to solve the matter, after all, he needed to face the Zhou family father and son.

"Prepare a sedan chair, I'm going to the governor's yamen." He said immediately.

The so-called official does not repair the yamen, and it has been a month and a half before and after Zhou Fu came to Li Guojian, but the yamen is still dilapidated.

Because the civil affairs are under the management of Xuzhou, there is actually nothing to do in the Yamen of Liguojian, and Zhou Fu spends more time on the new kiln, but in recent days, the matter on the kiln side has come to an end, and he returned to the Yamen to deal with official business.

It's just that with the help of Zhao Mingcheng's family, plus the rectification of several officials, now the governor of Liguo Supervisor is up and down the yamen, and no one dares to snub him openly. Zhou Fu also took the opportunity to install a lot of people in the yamen, including the characters recommended by Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi, who came to take refuge, as well as his own cronies brought from the Beijing Division.

Therefore, when Xiang An's sedan chair arrived in front of the yamen, Zhou Fu received the news.

At this time, the messenger of the Xiang family had just been brought to the yamen, and the messenger was also arrogant, and when he saw Zhou Fu not kneeling, he threatened him: "My lord is here, if you don't let me go quickly, do you have to ask the king of my county to go to the official family, remove you from your position, and exile you to Lingnan!" ”

Zhou Fu was happy to hear it, and ordered in the hall: "First hit ten boards appetizing!" ”

The messenger didn't expect that his master was here, and Zhou Fu didn't give face. He was beaten to the point that he was crying wolf, and he was still confused in his heart, even Xuzhou Taishou was very good at making face to his family, why was it useless here in Zhou Fu.

He didn't want to, Zhou Quan was almost calculated to death, where would Zhou Fu give face to the Xiang family!

After Xiang An entered, he saw that his messenger had taken off his shirt and was spanking, and the blurred flesh and blood proved that this was a real attack, not a show.

"Governor Zhou, this person is my servant, I sent him to Xuzhou to deliver a letter, I don't know why he was caught here, and looking at his appearance, he is ready to be beaten into a trick?" Seeing this situation, Xiang An asked Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu grinned: "I see, outside the old man, don't you say that I don't know that this person is actually a servant of the Zun Mansion." ”

"Now that you know, you can release people, right?" Xiang An said expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry, this person is involved in my son's robbery, how can I let you go with a few words, more than ten lives are on him!" Zhou Fu said sharply.

"As far as I know, those more than ten people were all killed by your family...... What to do with this person! ”

"Naturally, I asked the behind-the-scenes instructions of those Jiangyang thieves, and if you dare to do such a thing, I don't care if he is the emperor or a relative, I will take him out and correct the law of the country!"

When Zhou Fu said this, he only felt extremely happy, but Xiang An in front of him couldn't help but take a step back.

"The governor said that this person was involved in the Ling Lang robbery, I don't know what evidence there is, if there is no evidence, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced, and the court will be displeased!" After settling down, Xiang An said again.

"Which people are not convinced? Whose court is displeased? Zhou Fu sneered.

"I don't accept it, and the court is not happy today." Xiang An did not give an inch.

"What kind of people are you? Also, can you represent the court today? Do you think your surname is Zhao? Could it be that your surname is the surname of the country? ”

Zhou Fu's words are interlocking, if Xiang An is so excited that he can't stand it, a big hat will be buttoned up immediately. Xiang An was shocked when he heard this, the crime he wanted to plant was not just as simple as robbing and killing his son, but an attempt to rebel!

If he has never been out of the Xiang family, this crime is a joke, but the Xiang family has hung the curtain, in fact, after the current pro-government, the death of the Xiang Queen Mother is also a little strange, it can be said that it is not clear, so it is really taboo for the Xiang family to try to rebel!

"Governor Zhou, I don't have the surname Zhao, and you don't have the surname Zhao, okay, even if this person is involved in the robbery, then tell me, what case is my smelting pit involved in, why do you want to send someone to force my smelting pit to close down?"

When Zhou Fu heard him ask this, he sneered twice, waved his hand and threw a booklet over, almost smashing it on Xiang An's face.

Xiang An saw that there was such a paragraph written on the booklet: The trial version of the regulations on the safety production of iron and metallurgy of the Liguo Supervisor.

This is exactly the regulation that Zhou Quan gathered all the smelters that day and asked them to send people to draw up. At that time, all the masters of the family thought that this was the prestige of the new officials of the Zhou family, but in fact, it was just a formality, as long as everyone was soft, it would pass.

But he never thought that Zhou Fu threw out this regulation at this time.

"This is the regulations drawn up by the 36th metallurgical itself, submitted to the official for review, the official has read it, it is very good, if so, it can minimize the casualties in the smelting pit, which is in line with the benevolence of today's officials! Your family also signed this ordinance and made a promise, but now I have sent someone to investigate, and your family has not even fulfilled half of these ordinances, this is a reckless act of human life, how can this official tolerate it! ”

"This ...... This ......"

Xiang An was so angry that he trembled, when his family signed the ordinance, he was also tempted by the interests of cement, and he was eager to squeeze into Zhou Quan's plan, and in his design, the Zhou family's father and son would soon be driven away, and the ordinance would become a dead letter.

But he never thought that he was only calculating the father and son of the Zhou family on his side, and the revenge of Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan came with lightning speed!

The most important thing is that Zhao Sheng missed, if Zhao Sheng can except for the Zhou family, where does Zhou Fu have the leisure to take care of this!

"Humph!" Xiang An shook his hand angrily, turned around and was about to leave.

"Horn!" The two messengers in the yamen were left and right, and it was Wuyang and Di Jiang who stopped him.

"Since you're here, why rush to leave?" Zhou Fu said slowly: "I just told the old man that this person is your servant of the Xiang family, I want to interrogate this person, maybe there is a place to use the old man...... Come and give the old man a seat. ”

Xiang An didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he sneered, this messenger was the son of the Xiang family, and he was loyal to his family, unless Zhou Fu really made a move, he would not reveal his family's secrets at all.

And with him here, Zhou Fu didn't dare to go too far.

Therefore, he really sat down and closed his eyes slightly, which can be regarded as an observer of Zhou Fu's trial.

He was here, and Zhou Fu didn't torture him, but he turned it over and over again, just asking about inconsequential things. Xiang An didn't care at first, but later, he was annoyed and wanted to leave several times, but every time at this time, Zhou Fu would ask an important question, and then order to be tortured.

In this case, of course he can't leave, and he has to stop Zhou Fu from being tortured!
