Chapter 228: The Head Case

In the dog camp, Song Qing was planning, and the target of his plan was naturally Zhou Jin and Master Zhou, because now he suddenly found that this Zhou Jin was even more difficult than that Yang Fang, Yang Fang immediately retracted his head after suffering a loss, and he didn't dare to fight back at all, but this Zhou Jin was rectified to this point by himself, but he was still thinking about dealing with him, the two formed a stark contrast, as a martial artist Yang Commander is really not as good as this scholarly Master Zhou, and his personality is too bad.

If you give an example, then Yang Fang is simply a little sheep, and Master Zhou is the real hungry wolf, if it weren't for the fact that his strength was worse than himself, and he was not familiar with his own style of doing things, so he suffered a lot of losses in a row, this old man might really become a strong opponent, and it was precisely because of this that Song Qing made up his mind to completely solve this person, otherwise, like this bandit assassination incident, maybe there will be a next time, God knows if there was such luck at that time.

This time Song Qing's luck is really good, many of those bandits are related to the mountain harrier and others in the east of the city, plus they have been beaten by Song Qing before, and they are both respectful and afraid of this newly rising military leader, many people want to be the same as their counterparts in the east of the city, and become the military leader in the periphery.

After leaving from Jiuli Mountain, the owners of the village made up their minds on the way, and at the same time sent people to the dog camp to find Song Qing to report the news, Song Qing also attached great importance to the news, after all, this was a major event to assassinate him, and immediately sent Luo Xiaobei and others to various cottages, and then followed those masters up to Jiuli Mountain. And successfully did Zhou Dadao.

It's just that there is nothing to do, Song Qing's patience is still exhausted, you have to know that he still has an opponent on Pizhou Wei's side, if Yang Fang slows down and continues to fight, or goes to ask for help from the noble man of Nan Zhili, his main energy will inevitably be on that end, when the time comes, if this Master Zhou is secretly moving his hands and feet, God knows what will happen to Lu Dao, anyway, it has already reached this point, just don't do it. If this guy is done thoroughly, at least the Xuzhou family will be safe in the future.

As for the method of dealing with Zhou Jin, he already had a plan in his heart, the brand of the Xiangxiang Sect and the statue of the childless old mother were not a joke in this Ming Dynasty. These two things, plus Zhou Ping, who was captured alive, were enough to completely destroy the Zhou family.

In the middle of the night. Zhou Xianse hurriedly returned to Zhou's house. Explain the matter as it is, of course, this original is an improved version, and the biggest difference from the real version is that in the improved version, Zhou Dadao is still alive, and has begun to train the masters in various cottages, preparing to go down the mountain to assassinate Song Qing within ten days. The good news that the Zhou family is waiting for is that if it is too late to escape after the assassination, the Zhou family will also be responsible for helping to find a hiding place, which must be guaranteed.

Master Zhou was overjoyed. In his opinion, this matter has basically been completed, although I don't know if Lu Dao can kill Song Qing in the end, but it is certain that this week's big knife is very reasonable, and the other party also asked him to help find a place to hide, it seems that it should not be perfunctory, and immediately clapped the decision: "Zhou Ping, after they come, you go and tell them, if you really can't run away, just hide in my house, we are a scholarly family, then Song Qing will not dare to make trouble here even if he eats the courage of the ambitious leopard!" ”

Zhou Ping said yes in his mouth, but his heart was silent, Song Qing was about to stir up the wind and rain in this village, and the things that stirred up the wind and rain were in the hands of your housekeeper, your old man could still be so ashamed, and it was really time for the Zhou family to be finished, it seems that his bet this time was obviously correct.

Zhou Ping is not the son of the Zhou family, but he changed his surname to Zhou after taking refuge, and he always prides himself on being loyal to things, but now that he is in this position, he naturally takes saving his life as the first priority, not to mention that Song Qing also promised him a lot of conditions, such as the benefits given to him after the fall of the Zhou family, and so on.

After a few more words of comfort, Steward Zhou said goodbye, looked at the moonlit and starry sky, sighed softly, and then went back to his room, took out the wooden cards that Song Qing asked him to bring back, and placed them one by one around the house, and then went back to the room to rest.

When it was almost the third watch, Zhou Ping subconsciously opened his eyes, his ears were also pricked up, and he was about to carefully distinguish the movement outside, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound in the yard, his heart was finally steady, he turned his head sideways and continued to sleep, and when the next day was bright, he suddenly heard a terrible scream outside, Zhou Ping hurriedly got dressed and rushed out of the house, and when he came to the yard, it was already full of people, seeing him coming, a few little stewards were busy getting out of the way, Zhou Ping walked a few steps to the front, Sure enough, a few heads were found in the crowd, the same as the ones he had seen in Song Qing before, all of them were the guards who had been sent to intercept and kill Song Qing's caravan.

After a while, Master Zhou also came in clothes, and saw a few heads that had been stirred with lime, but still looked a little rotten, and he was immediately frightened, and before his brain had completely turned around, someone at the door shouted in shock: "Oh no, the Zhou family has killed people, there are many heads!" ”

"Who is this?" Zhou Jin obviously felt that something was wrong, but when he wanted to stop it, those people turned around and ran out of the door, and after inquiring with a few little stewards, he learned that Lu Dao came to deliver water early in the morning, although he had no enmity with his own family, but this matter could no longer be hidden, and it would not be long before the officials came to the door.

Zhou Jin is not afraid of lawsuits, the murder case itself has nothing to do with him, the heads are those who were sent to the hospital that their own family sent out that day, the murderer is of course Song Qing, but there is no evidence, and secondly, this person was thrown into the house in the middle of the night, and the yamen always has to send someone to investigate, and when the time comes, in order to calm the matter, the family will naturally have to pay for it, if it is replaced in the past, it naturally doesn't matter, it is a big deal to give some silver, and now the Zhou family is the most difficult time, and I don't know how much flesh and blood will be eaten.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a few poor people to come to the yamen, all with happy faces, and without concealing it at all, Zhou Jin's brows were furrowed, he knew that these officials were happy because they had money to take, how many years they had hooked up with the government, he was very familiar with the temperament of these people, so he didn't feel how surprised, what made him angry was that these people didn't hide it at all, and they smiled in front of him, which showed a very significant problem, his Lord Zhou's face in Xuzhou was not as big as before.

This is just a polite statement, to put it mildly, his prestige is too far worse than before, these officials are the most observant and look at the limelight in Xuzhou, whether a person or family is powerful, just look at the attitude of the officials towards them can be seen, now this group of officials dare to smile in front of themselves, there is no attitude that an errand should have, to put it bluntly, he did not put him in the eyes of Master Zhou, and he did not take him seriously as the first person in the market.

Master Zhou was very angry, but he was helpless, because he lost face by himself, and his battle with Song Qing was concerned by the whole of Xuzhou, including the surrounding four counties, so how he lost, everyone is also very clear, and now the effect has begun to gradually appear, in the past, these officials had to show a smile when they saw him, and even watched his sedan chair go away on the side of the road, and now they are doing things in the Zhou family's house, and they are still handling murder cases, so they will be so lazy, and the reactions of the people outside can be imagined.

He felt that he still underestimated the reaction of this matter to Xuzhou and beyond, it seemed that the assassination operation in the future must be successful, and the Zhou family could even send more family guards out of the courtyard at the critical moment, and Song Qing must be killed, otherwise in another month or two, I am afraid that few people will take the Zhou family seriously.

It's just that it's not happy, after all, the officials are on behalf of the government, and he has to fight up his spirit to deal with it, after all, this is a few heads, equivalent to a few lives, in a place like Xuzhou that has been peaceful for a long time, not to mention how many things are secretly there, there are still few such big cases on the surface, as the head of the Zhou family, he must always answer the questions of the officials, although he is impatient, he has to endure it temporarily, but after all, he will not fall, even if he answers questions, he is sitting on the Taishi chair.

When it was almost noon, the officials finally ended the questioning, and did not say that they wanted to bring anyone back, only said that they would go back to report for the time being, and the rest of the things would be said by Lord Zhizhou, Zhou Jin knew in his heart that this was waiting for his own family to send money in, if he couldn't see the silver, although no one might dare to stir up the wind and rain, but it was inevitable to add a little blockage to himself, the Zhou family was stormy at this time, and he really couldn't stand this kind of thing, so he immediately ordered Zhou Ping to prepare the silver, and then sent it to Zhizhou, and the officials also had to prepare another copy, There is a way that the king of Hades is better than a little ghost, and if these officials really do anything, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome than the Lord Zhizhou.

Zhou Ping was not ambiguous, after taking the silver, he quickly went out, went straight to his house outside, put the silver to the concubine, and said that Lord Zhizhou took the silver, and said that everything was easy to say, so that the master could rest assured. (To be continued......)
