Zou Jiang was loyal to Zou Xiancheng, and after receiving the news, he immediately went to see Zou Xiancheng and told him that Aunt Lu and the daughter of the Lu family were killed by water bandits.

Zou Xiancheng just said lightly: "Got it." ”

Seeing this, Zou Jiang couldn't help but say anymore: "Master, have you swept your tail clean?" Don't let those people bite you. Those are all outlaws licking blood from the knife edge, if ......"

"Shut up!" Zou Xiancheng shouted violently, and stared at Zou Jiang with eyes sunken due to a serious illness: "You dare to check this official, Zou Jiang, you are so bold." ”

Zou Jiang hurriedly explained: "Master, the old slave didn't check you, the old slave received the news from the county government, and then thought of the old farmer who sent the water chestnut, so he suspected that the old man did it." ”

He also promised: "Don't worry, master, you have a great favor to the old slave, and the old slave will not betray the old man even if he dies." The old slave came to inquire because he was afraid that if the old man did not sweep his tail clean, he would be found in the house. ”

Zou Xiancheng listened, his face was still gloomy.

After so many years, Zou Jiang is still smarter than him, and only through a letter and an old farmer who sent water chestnuts, he guessed that he had bought the water bandits and harmed Aunt Lu.

Zou Xiancheng was very angry in his heart, why did he practice Zou Jiang all his life, and Zou Jiang could still deal with things calmly? It stands to reason that a prodigy like Zou Jiang should not bear the humiliation of being a slave and commit suicide?

Zou Xiancheng looked at Zou Jiang and suddenly felt that it was wrong to use such water grinding to practice a prodigy. It's just because he is not better off than Zou Jiang now.

Zou Jiang is a dead wife and daughter-in-law, and will not remarry again for life, and will not have children. But he himself was drugged by his heirs, cuckolded by his sons, and became the laughing stock of the entire county.

"Hahaha~" Zou Xiancheng suddenly laughed, which frightened Zou Jiang a lot, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Master, if you feel uncomfortable, come out, don't hold it in your heart." ”

Zou Jiang was really afraid that Zou Xiancheng would be driven crazy by what had happened recently.

After hearing this, Zou Xiancheng immediately put away his laughter and pushed Zou Jiang away: "This official is fine, you can step down." ”

And said: "You think too much, there are often water bandits on Huaishui, Aunt Lu's matter, it's just a coincidence, you don't have to worry too much." And when did the official do things, did he not sweep his tail clean? ”

Zou Xiancheng did not admit that he let the water bandits torture and kill Aunt Lu. Once some things are admitted, they are just handles, Zou Xiancheng has begun to be wary of Zou Jiang, and he will not shake out his old bottom to him.

However, Zou Jiang reminded him that the lame six can't stay, Zou Jiang can find him, and others can also find out.

As for Zou Jiang...... Zou Xiancheng didn't want Zou Jiang to die so easily.

He kept Zou Jiang for practice, and now when he compares it, he finds that he is not better off than Zou Jiang. He had to take advantage of his life to practice Zou Jiang well, and completely trampled this prodigy who was once famous in the counties of He'an Prefecture under his feet, making this prodigy even miserable.

Zou Jiang saw that Zou County did not listen to persuasion, so he had no choice but to retreat.

……

In the county office, Master Tian learned the news that Aunt Lu was killed by the bandits, and his face sank.

He thought of Gu Jinli's reminder, felt that this matter was unusual, and looked at Xu Xianling and said, "My lord, that person will not have such courage and ability to dare to collude......"

"Master Tian said carefully." Xu Xianling interrupted Master Tian's words: "This matter is too big, we have no evidence, it's not easy to mess up...... It's not worth it. ”

This kind of collusion between officials in the water spinning matter is not something that he can do with a county order that has no backing. And he was going to be transferred, but he didn't want to lose his life for this kind of thing before leaving.

Master Tian knew that Xu Xian was gallant, and he just wanted to get the credit without risking, and it was a pity to see that he was unwilling to touch this matter.

But the county order is his Dongweng, and he has to listen to the order, so he can only let this matter go.

However, Jiang County Lieutenant has been staring at the Zou family, but Zou Xiancheng has become cautious and low-key recently, and he does not go out of the house, and he also restricts the subordinates in the mansion, not allowing the subordinates to leave the mansion at will, let alone allowing the subordinates to behave nonsense.

even released Mrs. Zou, who had been grounded, and asked Master Shao to personally teach Zou Yukun's son, intending to let him inherit the Zou family.

Zou Yukun's daughter-in-law originally wanted to reconcile with Zou Yukun, but it can be seen that after her son was carefully taught, she knew that the Zou family would pass on to her son, so she stopped making trouble, and did not pay attention to Zou Yukun anymore, just as he died.

And Zou Yuqian died in Lianshan Zhuangzi a long time ago, but Zou Xiancheng did not mourn him, but only quietly let people bury him, and he was sick and was recuperating in Zhuangzi.

Soon after Aunt Lu's death, the lame Liu, who occasionally sent water chestnuts to the Zou Mansion, never came again. He let it go that he was too old to do it, so he sold his house, fields, and pond with chestnuts, and went to his nephew in Jiangnan with the money.

Cripple Six is a disabled old man, a childless and daughterless character, who will leave when he leaves, and no one will care about him.

It's just that he didn't go to his nephew, but went to the water spinning village and settled there.

……

After Gu Jinli learned that Aunt Lu was killed by the bandits, he took advantage of Qin Sanlang's retirement and asked him deliberately: "Isn't the county magistrate going to investigate this matter?" ”

As long as you look up, you will find out something.

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "Xu Xian Ling, I was afraid that this matter would be lost, so I didn't dare to investigate." Jiang County Lieutenant was concerned, but Zou County Cheng was cautious, his tail was swept clean, and Jiang County Lieutenant couldn't find anything. ”

Gu Jinli frowned: "This is difficult." ”

Qin Sanlang looked at her frowning brows and said with relief: "You don't have to worry, I will handle these things, and I will definitely find out the evidence of Zou Xiancheng's collusion with water spinning." ”

Qin Sanlang was very serious, but he found that Gu Jinli seemed to have not heard it, and he was a little disappointed when he was thinking about something.

was extremely disappointed, Gu Jinli looked up at him and found that he had recently tanned and grown a lot taller: "You have grown again, if you continue to grow like this, when you grow up, you will not have to run for one meter nine." ”

Qin Saburo was puzzled: "How tall is one meter nine?" I'm not a child, I've grown up. ”

He is fifteen years old, and he is a mature adult, and he can set up a household.

Gu Jinli looked at him and said, "Where did you grow up?" It's just a. ”

How are junior high school students.

Now, though, is not the time to discuss your height and age.

"Zou Xiancheng is cautious, if you check slowly, when will you have to find out? Don't you suspect that the tragedy of Zou Jiang's family was done by Zou Xiancheng? Then let's write an anonymous letter and send it to Zou Jiang. Gu Jinli smiled slyly: "Regardless of whether he has evidence or not, he will separate Zou Xiancheng and Zou Jiang first." ”

"The events of that year must have hit Zou Jiang very hard, otherwise he would not have been disheartened, gave up his good name, and became a slave. As long as he is given an anonymous letter and makes him suspicious of what happened back then, he will definitely be separated from Zou Xiancheng. ”

"Zou Jiang has followed Zou Xiancheng for so many years, and he must know a lot of Zou Xiancheng's handles. As long as Zou Jiang takes out these handles, it will be difficult for Zou Xiancheng to think about it. ”
