In a mansion not far from the original county government of Hui County, Zhou Xingxiu walked out of the house with a calm face and strides, obviously gloomy as water under the light of the dim lights.

"Zhou County Lieutenant ......"

"Zhou County Lieutenant ......"

Wherever Zhou Xingxiu passed, the officials standing guard or passing by all greeted respectfully, and if it was an ordinary Zhou Xingxiu, even if he didn't make a sound, he would nod in response.

But today's Zhou Xingxiu was obviously unhappy, and let the greetings of the passing officials just walk outside with his face down.

"Wang Fusheng ......" On the street, Zhou Xingxiu turned his head and looked coldly at the mansion that was used as a temporary yamen in the dim light, muttered in a low voice, there seemed to be a trace of hatred flashing between his expressions, and then stepped on the horse led by a government official next to him, stepped up, and drove quickly towards the street.

The fast horse galloped through in the dark night, and as the county lieutenant of Hui County, he naturally had a pass warrant on his body, so even the officials or soldiers who were patrolling the streets would not stop him.

After a while, Zhou Xingxiu rode his horse to a high-rise compound in the southwest of Hui County.

"Master, you're back!" Seeing Zhou Xingxiu coming back, a servant of the Zhou family hurriedly trotted over, smiling and flattering and wanting to help Zhou Xingxiu lead the horse.

Syllable! ~~

"Bastard, something happened to the young master, are you very happy?" Seeing the sneer on the servant's face, Zhou Xingxiu originally held back his anger in his heart, and directly raised the horsewhip in his hand and slammed it towards the servant's face.

"Ah, the little one doesn't dare, the old man spares his life, the old man spares his life......" The servant was whipped by the whip and his face was bloody, but he didn't care about wiping it, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Cheap bones, get out of the old man!" Zhou Xingxiu whipped the servant who was kneeling on the ground and begged for mercy a few times with a horsewhip, until the servant's back was bleeding and soaked his robe, and then he felt that the anger in his heart had disappeared a lot, and he casually threw the horsewhip in his hand on the ground, glanced coldly at the servant lying on the ground, and then turned around and walked towards the house.

The screams of the servants outside and the subordinates in the Zhou Mansion naturally heard and saw it, and they all knew that Zhou Xingxiu must be in a bad mood, and they all lowered their eyebrows and ears, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.

In the Zhou Mansion, the lights were naturally lit at this time, especially in that hall, it was as if it was daytime.

It's just that at this time, there are several middle-aged people with majestic faces and a middle-aged beauty sitting in the hall, but the strange thing is that these people are all sinking like water, and they don't even say a word, looking out of the hall from time to time, with eagerness and anxiety between their expressions.

It wasn't until they saw Zhou Xingxiu's figure walking in from outside the door that these people's faces moved, they stood up from their seats slightly, and arched their hands, "Brother Yuanji...... Zhou County Lieutenant ......"

Yuanji is Zhou Xingxiu's word.

"Master, you're back, how's Hao'er's matter?" The middle-aged beautiful woman who was originally sitting in the first seat also stepped forward at this time and said with a worried face.

Zhou Xingxiu looked at this middle-aged beauty, shook his head slightly with a calm face, and then arched his hand to the few people who greeted him, "Everyone, Zhou Mou disappointed everyone, I didn't expect that Wang Fusheng didn't care about his colleagues at all, no matter what Zhou said, he didn't let go at all, saying that these people were personally taken into custody by the king of Runan County, and he didn't dare to make decisions on his own." ”

"How, how is this good?" A rich middle-aged man in a light blue robe said with a look of six gods and no master.

"Brother Renji, why don't we try to ask to see the king of Runan? It is said that the king of Runan is only a six-year-old child, and perhaps I will show my sincerity a little and get some things that children like to send over, and the matter will be settled. Another middle-aged man of medium stature and wearing a pale blue robe groaned for a moment, and then spoke.

Hearing the words of this middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, the other people's expressions perked up, and they all looked at Zhou Xingxiu, the county lieutenant of Zhou, with hopeful eyes.

However, after Zhou Xingxiu heard this, he just smiled coldly, "You guys are thinking too much about His Royal Highness the County King. Do you think you can think of it, but Zhou can't think of it? ”

"Don't think that this King of Runan County really thinks of him as a six-year-old child, Zhou has seen His Royal Highness the King of the County several times in the past few days, in Zhou's opinion, although His Royal Highness the King of the County looks small, he is not good at stubble. It is said that when he was in Wannian County a few days ago, the first thing His Royal Highness the county king did when he arrived in Wannian County was to cut off the head of the county magistrate in Wannian County, otherwise with Wang Fusheng's old fox character, how could he be so easily controlled by others? ”

"Moreover, you have also heard about Luo Baifu, right? Luo Baifu just sent two cheap maids to Wang Fusheng, and Wang Fusheng wanted to please His Royal Highness the county king, so he sent these two cheap maids over. As a result, Wang Fusheng, the dignified order of a county, was punished for kneeling in front of the lobby for three hours, and Na Luo Baifu was even more wronged, so he could only donate 50,000 stone grain and grass to get out. ”

"Think about it, what is Luo Baifu's crime, he has to take most of the family property to be preserved, so how much do you think we should take out to make these royal highnesses of the county king show mercy?"

Zhou Xingxiu's words were over, and all the people in the hall suddenly looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't know what to do?

"What does the county lieutenant think we should do that week? Do you let those unfilial sons stay in prison? Don't forget that there is the son of Xinfeng's Wang County Lieutenant among those people, and the Wang County Lieutenant is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family. One of them, a middle-aged man with a somewhat thin figure and a somewhat sickly look between his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Xing's cultivation.

Looking at the looks on the faces of these people in the hall, Zhou Xingxiu had a plan in his heart, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, Zhou has a way to solve this matter, but it is a little dangerous, I don't know if you dare to take risks with Zhou!" ”

"Oh? What is the method of Zhou County Lieutenant, please give me advice! Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, all these people's eyes lit up and looked at Zhou Xingxiu.

Zhou Xingxiu smiled mysteriously, saw that there were no other people in the hall, and then said, "Actually, you already know that there will be a big war in our county next, and it will be forbidden for people to pass through the city from yesterday." Zhou still has some status in the yamen, and he heard some news, it is said that the people who attacked this time were General Chi Jingde, the general under the command of His Royal Highness King Qin, and the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin? Isn't it said in the holy decree that appeared in the county before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today? "Some people think of the holy decree that appeared in the county not long ago, and of course the document issued in the name of the king of Runan.

"Yes, it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin who has been crowned the crown prince by the Holy Lord, and he is my prince of the Tang Dynasty." Zhou Xingxiu nodded, and then said, "This time, the former crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji wanted to conspire to rebel, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the crown prince was wise enough to see through the tricks of the two thieves and set things right, so that my Tang Dynasty would not fall into the hands of thieves." ”

"And this king of Runan County was originally just the son of the traitor Li Jiancheng, and after Li Jiancheng was defeated, he fled from Chang'an, and then gathered the original rebels and wanted to continue the rebellion."

"This time, General Wei Chi and the eldest grandson Wuji, on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, raised 50,000 troops to fight against the traitors. Everyone is a person with an identity, and they must also know that at this time, the strength of our county is only 35,000 people, and 5,000 to 50,000 is just an act of hitting a stone with an egg. When the time comes, you don't have to regret today's events. Zhou Xingxiu said with a sneer.

"This ...... Lieutenant Zhou is afraid that he is not joking, we have not participated in the rebellion, even if we break through the county seat, what do we have to do with us, we only need to guard the door of the house, forgive General Wei Chi and the eldest grandson Wuji, it is impossible to risk the world's condemnation to kill innocents! There was a hesitant word from the head of the family.

"You really didn't participate in the rebellion, but the court didn't know about this matter, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know either, as long as the city gate was broken and the rebels were bowing their heads, then wouldn't it be what General Wei Chi and Lord Changsun Wuji said? Soldiers and bandits, soldiers and bandits, you are not people who have not experienced war, how can you be so naïve and risk your life to the thoughts of others? Zhou Xingxiu looked at the humanity around him.

Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, these people's faces were cloudy and uncertain, and one of them was a middle-aged man in a purple robe who hugged his fists and said, "Then I don't know what Brother Renji said is ...... method?" ”

Zhou Xingxiu's face showed a look of confidence in his chest, at this moment, he seemed to feel that he was possessed by Kong Ming, smiled indifferently, and said, "This matter is simple, everyone must have a guard in the house, these people add up to a lot, if they are gathered, there are thousands of people, when the time comes, we can take advantage of General Wei Chi and the eldest grandson Wuji to attack the city, the defenders in the city are too busy to take care of themselves, we can lead the army into the county government, capture the rebel thief of the king of Runan County, the so-called thief captures the king first, as long as the king of Runan County is in our hands, Then these traitors will naturally break themselves. ”

"Moreover, with the thief leader of the king of Runan County in hand, we are also the meritorious ministers of this rebellion, and the court will definitely have a rich reward at that time, I dare not say that the marquis will worship the general, but it is not impossible to seal the county and the county uncle!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, sealing the wife and the son, this is only one chance, it depends on whether everyone has the courage to do so."

Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's seductive words, these landlords and gentry in Huixian County flashed with a struggling light in their eyes under the lights......
