Chapter 42: Death (Recommendation!) )
Zhou Binglin walked through the corridor and before coming to the study, he saw several people carrying an object out, covered with a white cloth, and blood dripping down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What's going on?"
He frowned, stopped a steward and asked.
The steward was a spirit, and when he saw that it was Zhou Binglin, he said: "It's the maid in the courtyard of the fourth wife!" The old man was worried about the relief in winter, and the third lady grabbed the girl again, saying that her hands and feet were not clean, and later it was confirmed that she was unlucky, so she killed ...... directly."
Zhou Binglin also shuddered, came to the study, and gently slammed the door: "Daddy!" ”
"Is it Binglin? In! ”
Zhou Binglin's footsteps were light, he entered the door, saluted respectfully, and didn't dare to take a breath in his breath.
"How's it going?"
Although he had just killed a subordinate with a rod, Zhou Tongan had a calm face, full of scholarly life, and looked like a Confucian virtue.
"It has been agreed that the third uncle's family will give fifty taels of silver, and the land will be given to the fourth aunt's family, and one stone of grain will be replenished every year!"
Zhou Binglin said softly.
"One by one, for the sake of land and silver, even the ancestors don't care about it!"
Zhou Tongan snorted coldly: "If they are all relatives, they can compete for red eyes, and they are really not good people!" ”
"There are a lot of miscellaneous things in the clan, and other big families can't escape, and now my Zhou family can maintain stability, thanks to my father's presence in the center and strategizing!"
Zhou Binglin bowed down, this was said sincerely, knowing that the bigger the family, the more difficult it was to level a bowl of water, and each room and vein were like wolves.
If it weren't for his father's means, it would be difficult to support.
"Alas...... It's good that both sides approve it! ”
Zhou Tongan asked about the situation carefully, and Zhou Binglin answered them one by one, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "You did a good job, but you owe a little fire......"
After mentioning a few more words, he continued: "Now in the cold winter, all houses must pay attention to firewood and rice noodles, do not have a shortage, and the family should always stare at the child, don't break the cooking, the county is new, at this time, there are things such as freezing and hunger, and everyone's face is not good-looking!" ”
"This nature has been confirmed early on, and the money and rice are supplied...... Just, in terms of the bookkeeping? ”
Zhou Binglin hesitated.
"Wait a little longer, Martial Master Song should also arrive in these two days, and when their silver is escorted, it will be easy to do......"
Zhou Tongan also sighed.
Others thought that the Zhou family was a big family, with fine clothes and food, and piles of gold and silver, but they didn't know that this big family, thousands of clansmen, plus family children, slaves and maids, the expenses were really like mountains and seas, not to mention that there were two officials to support.
At this time, they were still counting on Zhou Tongren and Master Hu to go further, so naturally they couldn't miss the filial piety of their bosses.
It is said that this official of the Great Zhou, if he wants to be safe and sound, he is very idle, and he is the same as the light, so he has no fault, and he can save a lot of family business when he is old.
But if you want to continue to climb up, first of all, the boss can't be less filial piety, and he can't be too ruthless to his subordinates, and he has to invite people to buy people's hearts from time to time.
"As soon as I talk about this, I'm a little worried, you can ask ...... again"
As soon as Zhou Tongan said, a rush of footsteps came: "Master, it's not good!" ”
When a person came in, Zhou Binglin recognized that it was Lao Zhou, the housekeeper who was most trusted by his father, holding a letterhead in his hand.
Although he wanted to see it very much, Zhou Binglin didn't dare to move his head, for fear of being regarded as evidence of coveting the position of the head of the family, and his heart was even more sad.
"Shaft!"
Bang!
Zhou Tongan took it, looked at it a few lines, and was furious, slapped the table, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered, making a mess.
"Father's anger!"
Zhou Binglin and Lao Zhou both knelt down, and then they could ask: "What's wrong?" ”
"Look at ...... Look...... This Wu family child is simply bold! Zhou Tongan threw the letterhead and slapped it on Zhou Binglin's face, feeling pain.
At this time, I couldn't care about it, so I hurriedly watched it, and my heart was also very big: "How dare you ...... like this"
He is a child of a family, and he is faintly afraid of this method of flipping the table if he disagrees: "Can you explain the situation and ask the government to help suppress it?" ”
"Bastard!"
Zhou Tongan shouted angrily, and pointed at Lao Zhou again: "You tell him!" ”
Lao Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, this can't be done!" The inspection office of Wu's hometown has already carried out the county office, saying that it was a night attack on the bandits, and more than 50 people from the group of Jietianfeng were exterminated, and the county order had to ask for merit for them...... As long as the goods they bite to death are seized in the mountain bandit village, we have no evidence, and we can't think of it......"
"Wu Ming ......"
Zhou Binglin was a little surprised, in his memory, this person was just a little smug, and he didn't want to see a little bit of true color at this time, he was really decisive, and he was extremely ruthless.
"Good! Good! All right! ”
Zhou Tongan also sneered: "The tiger is not powerful, when my Zhou family is a sick cat...... Lao Zhou, you go and give an order, let the black tiger and the rolling dragon all move, and the samurai sect leaders of my family are all organized into the team, and order the archdeacon, the second deacon, and a few worshippers to all go forward, open the arsenal, and pick up the good ones...... Hum! In terms of elite, his Wu family is as powerful as my Zhou family? I want him to die without a place to be buried! ”
Zhou Binglin is a fierce spirit, this black tiger and rolling dragon are all famous bandits in Yunping County, and even he only now knows that it is his own dog!
And now, it is obvious that his father has given up his official plan and is ready to take Wu Ming directly by force!
At this time, Zhou Tongan pointed at Zhou Binglin again: "To ensure peace, the prosperous times rely on literary talents, and the troubled times rely on force, this time, you will also go!" Be sure to bring me back with that little one's head! ”
"Yes!"
No matter how unwilling he was, there was no room for Zhou Binglin to refuse at this time, so he could only kneel and say.
But immediately, another deacon quickly came to report, holding a bamboo tube in both hands: "The Taoist Academy's flying letter is the highest level!" ”
"Bring it!"
Zhou Tongan took it, a ring on his hand shone brightly, and the bamboo tube automatically cracked, revealing a roll of ancient paper.
"This ......"
After reading a few lines, Zhou Tongan seemed to have been sucked out of his main backbone, slumped in the chair, and after a long time, he sighed: "This operation is temporarily canceled!" ”
It seemed to be an illusion, Zhou Binglin suddenly felt that Zhou Tong'an was leaning on his back, and he seemed to be a little older.
……
Spoon Mountain, inside the cottage.
Wu Ming, who was already prepared, knew what it meant that people were not as good as heaven.
"Huh? Sister's letter? ”
didn't wait for the Zhou family's revenge, but what he was waiting for was Wu Qing's letterhead, which made Wu Ming a little confused, and after opening it and reading it, he was a little surprised.
"My sister wrote that she had subdued the Zhou family and made them suffer a dumb loss...... Of course, I've gone a little too far, in exchange, it's impossible for the Taoist Academy to admit me anymore, if I don't have to be in a hurry, she will find a way to ......"
Wu Ming put away the letterhead and put it in his arms, but he touched his nose and was a little embarrassed.
This feeling of being sheltered under his sister's wings was a matter of course for the gentleman before, but he felt a little unpleasant.
"Actually, I can fix it!"
It's a pity that I can't tell anyone about this.
'If it is according to my plan, this time to lure the enemy deep and fight to nourish the war, it is enough to wipe out the elite of the Zhou family! At that time, the Zhou family will be a tiger with its teeth extracted, let me knead it, and I can also train a strange soldier and an elite soldier! ’
The original plan was to annihilate the dark forces of the Zhou family in one fell swoop with the food, medicine, and even talismans and other items provided by the main temple in the deep mountains!
In this way, the Zhou family has no military support, it is a huge piece of fat, and if it is not done well, the family will be ruined and collapsed.
This is the desperate plan to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and let them have no power to retaliate.
Of course, Wu Ming also knew that he would inevitably be questioned if he conjured up supplies for no reason, but in this world, there are not no Dao items similar to mustard seed bags and space rings, but they are particularly rare, and the level of big households in the county is not yet accessible, so they can be covered up with this reason when the time comes.
Even, after completing this matter, if you secretly make efforts to wipe out all the forces against Wu Qing, you will repay your kindness and end the cause and effect of this body, and you will be able to open the sea and sky in the future, and you can attack and retreat.
No matter how bad it is, you can run away in style, with the main temple, the world can go!
But now, the cause and effect have deepened.
"Alas...... Beauty is gracious, but you can't promise each other, how can it be a good ......"
Wu Ming's head was far away, as if he wanted to throw out some thoughts that were not healthy: "Come on!" Inform Feng Han, let's go back! ”
As for the letter saying that you can't enter the Taoist Academy or something, it was directly ignored by Wu Ming.
It's just a county-level Taoist academy, and Wu Ming, who already has a lot of Taoist tips, naturally doesn't care a little about it.
Although it is a pity that he can't get a steady stream of magic tricks from the Taoist Academy, it is just a little more meritorious needs, and Wu Ming, who is determined to become the master of the main temple, has not paid much attention to it.
……
For the tenants of the Zhou and Wu families, these days can be called calm.
Even, there was a festive atmosphere of the New Year up and down, and when Wu Ming came back, this atmosphere reached its peak.
"Young master, we have harvested a total of 5,000 taels of silver, 15 pieces of beautiful jade, as well as refined iron, green salt, and even various gifts, conservatively estimated, there are also 15,000 taels of silver!"
Zhao Song was excited and told Wu Ming.
"Hmmm! I promised in advance that I would have 20% as a bereavement pension, that is, 3,000 taels, 100 taels per person, and if I am disabled or killed in battle, my family will be divided into 5 acres of land! ”
As Wu Ming spoke, he saw an extremely excited look on Zhao Song's face, and knelt down and said, "The head of the family is wise, I am willing to die for the head of the family!" ”
This dispatch is not particularly dangerous, but the harvest is rich, so naturally there is nothing to say.
After all, at best, it was just a robbery of a caravan, which was really not a big deal at this time, so the following were quite satisfying.
To be honest, this is also what Wu Ming considered before.
Even if the elite of the Zhou family is exhausted this time, the dark side forces on both sides will fight to the death, as long as no leaders die, on the bright side, it will only be a mistake to suppress bandits, or even the level of a fight between the two villages.
If it can succeed in one fell swoop, it will pull out the secret and potential forces of the Zhou family, and how long can it be supported by only two official bodies?
It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes after all!
