In the study, Qin Zhongxiu chatted with Zhao Hankun, and Huang Haolin sat on the side, his hands were tied, and his beard was wiped with a sluggish face.

Zhou Ming pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Let the two of you wait for a long time." ”

Qin Zhongxiu couldn't see anything clearly at night, so he sat in his position and didn't move, smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

Zhao Hankun is the parent official of Yizhou, and he didn't need to get up to greet Zhou Ming, so he smiled and took a good look at this Gongyuan, who was in the limelight in the capital.

Zhou Ming bowed down and said: "This kind of sky disturbs the adult's sleep, the student is guilty, and I hope that the adult Haihan." ”

Zhao Hankun waved his hand and said with a smile: "If Zhou Gongyuan can help the official purge Xu Hongda and his party, it is too late for the official to thank you, so why blame." Come, don't be inhibited, sit down and drink tea. ”

Zhou Ming sat down, personally added tea to the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient to drink tea at night, this flower tea is made by Neizi, I think it tastes good, and occasionally drink it has a different flavor, I don't know if the two of you can still drink it?" ”

Qin Zhongxiu smiled when he heard this: "Master Zhao has already read the tea sample in the teapot, and said that he will make a set to taste it when he goes back." ”

"Haha, Zhong Xiu will really lose face." Zhao Hankun laughed.

Zhou Ming: "Adults like it, when I leave, I'll ask someone to wrap some for adults." ”

"Haha, that's great." Zhao Hankun stroked his palm, very happy.

Zhou Ming turned his head to look at Huang Haolin, who was silent on the side, and said, "I heard that after the Huang Dong family was imprisoned, he took all the blame for the crime, because Zheng Hao promised to take care of the Dong family's wife and children?" ”

Huang Haolin glanced up at Zhou Ming, sneered, and then closed his eyes and was silent, with a posture of refusing to answer no matter what you say.

Zhou Ming didn't get angry, but said quietly: "Today, my family guards passed through South Street and saw two beautiful women and three children fleeing for their lives in a panic. There was a man with a group of murderers armed with swords, chasing and killing all the way, causing a mournful cry all the way to South Street. My guard couldn't stand it anymore, so he saved the five women and children. ”

"The person who pursued and killed claimed to be President Zheng's brother-in-law, named Zhu San'er, and said that he was ordered by President Zheng to help the government arrest the family members of the criminal prisoner Huang Haolin......"

"You don't want to talk about right and wrong here, what I do is what I do, do you want me to bite innocent people with just a few words? Zhou Ming, because you are still a protégé of the Son of Heaven and the top of the tribute list, I think you are a shameless person who tries to reverse black and white. ”

Before Zhou Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Haolin excitedly.

After he cursed, Zhou Ming glanced at him with sympathy and contempt, and said: "Big husband, you can't be loyal to your family and country in life, and you can't make a living for your wife and children in death, what kind of face does the Huang Dong family have to shout here?" ”

"You don't distinguish between good and evil, and you make many women from good families lose their reputation. After all these years, have you ever wondered for a moment how they will survive after this? “

"You have done this unconscionable thing to bring disaster to your wife and children, and you don't want to make up for your mistakes to get a glimmer of life for them, so you ridiculously pinned your hopes on Zheng Hao's hypocrite."

"Do you really think that after you bear all the blame and die, your wife and concubine and young son will be able to continue to live in peace?"

"Could it be that a hypocrite who does absolutely bad things is more trustworthy than a prefect who is bent on eliminating evil and returning peace to the people? The court law can let your wife and children live, will Zheng Hao let go of the person who holds his handle? How stupid and ridiculous you are, a husband in vain, and even more a father in vain! ”

"At this time, you have illusions, you would rather keep evil than do good, I don't want to reason with you more, Lord Lao Zhao brought you tonight, but also to let you see for yourself. Whether you can grasp this last chance to protect your wife and children depends on your choice. Huang Dongjia, Zhou's words are all here, I hope you will think twice. ”

Huang Haolin, who said Zhou Ming's words, was terrified several times in his heart, and it was because he thought that Zhou Ming was not my kind to stabilize his mind. He pretended to be calm and sneered, "How do I know if you arranged all this in advance?" ”

Zhou Ming sneered, dusted off the hem of his clothes, and said proudly: "To tell you the truth, even if you don't identify it, Zheng Hao will never want to escape the accountability of Wang Fa."

"You don't really think that what he's done is seamless, do you? If nothing else, ask yourself, do you really fully trust Chairman Zheng? Didn't the other so-called alliances leave some evidence behind in order to save themselves as a last resort? Who of you is willing to accompany Zheng Hao to Huangquan? ”

"As far as I know, before Xu Hongda was arrested and the prefect blocked the city gate, you had already started to send your wife and children out of Qingzhou, why are your wives and children still in Qingzhou City at this time?"

"Do you really think that your wife and children were interrogated by the government when they went out of the city and were rescued by Zheng Hao? Do you know that Zheng Hao buried people beside you very early. Your wife and son didn't go to the gate of Qingzhou City at all, but came out of the gate of your dart game, and after a circle, they were sent to Zheng Hao's other courtyard. ”

"The reason why Zheng Hao keeps your family is just to stabilize you. He sent your wife and concubine to see you in prison from time to time, also so that you could bear the responsibility and die with peace of mind. Do you understand such a simple truth? ”

"Tomorrow you will be beheaded on the street, and you will see your wife and children, and he will do what you want, and you will be at peace in your heart, right? Hehe, in prison, you know what you said to your wife, and Zheng Hao also knows. ”

"From the moment you revealed your secrets to your wives, you sounded the death knell for them."

"If it weren't for Zhu San'er's poor behavior and being discovered in advance by your little concubine, who let the five of them escape from the courtyard in advance, how could they have bumped into my family's guards and survived until now?"

Zhou Ming's words were reasonable, and he even knew about his wife's confession in prison yesterday. Huang Haolin was already shaken, and his heart swayed more and more.

Could it be that what Zheng Hao said when he met his wife today was really heard? Zheng Hao really wants to go back on his word and cut off my Huang family's bloodline? No, no, it must be Zhou Ming and Zhao Hankun to deceive me. If Zheng Hao really goes back on his word, where will Luo Shaowen Zhuo Shilang still have the same heart with him? It must have been Zhou Ming who deceived me into being in prison and didn't know about foreign affairs, and deliberately said so. Huang Haolin struggled in his heart and was tormented.

Zhou Ming said everything he should have said, and the others just waited for the rabbit to collide with him, so he no longer preached with Huang Haolin, and only quietly accompanied Qin Zhao and the others to drink tea.

On the third watch day, Yuelai Restaurant in the east of the city suddenly ran out of water, and the flames jumped very high, and you could see it from afar, and most of the people in Qingzhou woke up from their sleep, carrying buckets and other tools to fight the fire, stirring up chaos in the entire Dongcheng.

"My lord, Yuelai Restaurant is out of water." Zhao Heng stood outside the study to report.

The four people in the room, except for Huang Haolin, did not show surprise, it seemed that everything was expected.

"Have the people of the Water Society ever been there?" Zhao Hankun asked.

Zhao Heng said: "Zheng Hao informed the Water Club early in the morning, and the people of the Water Club hurriedly lost their hands and ran back to get them when they arrived at the scene, delaying the time to fight the fire, and the fire was a little out of control at this time." ”

Zhao Hankun pondered for a moment and said, "Order the Fire Administration Department to rush forward to put out the fire, and the fire must not spread outward." ”

"Yes." Zhao Heng quickly went down to arrange.

Huang Haolin sat in the room like a lost soul, and muttered, "No, it must not have been him." ”

Zhou Ming glanced at him and said: "This evening, I invited Zheng Hao and others to have a drink, and at the banquet, Luo Shaowen flinched because Zhu San'er intercepted and killed Huang Dong's family, and it is not unusual to have this catastrophe." This time, Luo Shaowen is afraid that he will be more auspicious. ”

Huang Haolin's whole body trembled and looked at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming chuckled: "Don't look at me, now that East Street has been caught up in the fire of Yuelai Restaurant, I think that there will be guests here soon, so we can wait with peace of mind." ”

Huang Haolin felt that his throat was dry, his whole body was cold, and his strong body couldn't stop shivering.

Zhao Hankun saw that Huang Haolin's mind had been completely disturbed, chuckled, and asked Zhou Mingdao: "How did Brother Ming know that Zheng Hao would take Luo Shaowen first?" ”
