Shen Ninghua frowned and pondered: "When the second princess passed away, there was no shortage of Baili Jinchuan's handwriting, and the Zhou family was also defeated. ”

Baili Junyi shook his head: "The daughter of a big family is born for marriage, as long as this purpose can be achieved, it doesn't matter whether a person is alive or dead. If the Zhou family in Zhou City and the maiden family of the second princess are a family, then there may be a big thing hidden behind it that we all know. ”

The Zhou family did things perfectly, and the little tail behind them was also handled very cleanly, the reason why he directly arrested Zhou Ziqing before was to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, control him first, and then investigate the secret behind it. However, the time is too short now, and many plans were interrupted by Baili Jinchuan before they could be launched.

If there is a connection between the two, then the timely appearance of Baili Jinchuan is thought-provoking. The most troublesome thing is the next thing, Baili Jinchuan is bound to hinder him in every possible way to attack the Zhou family, if he does not get rid of the tumor of the Zhou family, the northwest may be in deep danger.

Shen Ninghua held his hand: "It's okay now, don't you suspect that the Zhou family has a relationship with Baili Jinchuan, just take this opportunity to investigate." ”

"Well, the Zhou family is too thorough, we have investigated and learned a lot of things, and we know that the Zhou family is insidious, but if we want to say that the evidence is conclusive, we can't come up with it, so we won't be able to treat Zhou Ziqing's crime in the yamen tomorrow."

The next day, Baili Jinchuan sent someone to deliver the message early, saying that he wanted to interrogate Zhou Ziqing, the head of the Zhou family, and sent someone to invite Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua to go and listen.

The two changed their clothes, and after a few simple things, they came to the mansion together. At this time, the gate of the yamen was full of people, and when they saw the arrival of the carriage of the two, there was a huge boo from the crowd, and everyone had anger and disgust on their faces, and for the first time the two became street rats that everyone shouted and beaten.

Baili Junyi's expression was cold, ignoring the boos outside, he bent down and got off the carriage, swept around with a cold gaze, and then came back to his senses and helped Shen Ninghua get out of the car.

Shen Ninghua stepped down from the carriage and stood side by side with Baili Junyi, their expressions moving slightly, and they turned a blind eye to the eyes of everyone present.

Everyone looked at the two people walking side by side in the room, I don't know why they suddenly felt a sense of oppression in their hearts, the appearance of the two was too amazing, they still remember the surprise when they first saw them appear, and the impact made them still remember it vividly.

The boos gradually subsided, and the crowd involuntarily made way for them. Watching the two of them walk into the yamen, many people had some hesitant speculation in their hearts: "The king of Yijun and the princess of the county really helped the victims, the reason why they treated the head of the Zhou family like that, maybe there was any misunderstanding?" ”

"Looking at the appearance of the two of them, how can they not frame Zhongliang at will, right?"

"It is said that they still have an excellent reputation in Kyoto, and at the beginning, Princess Zhaohua also rescued many people in Jiangnan."

"You've heard about it, and I know a little bit about it, and I've heard that the plague in Jiangnan was the first time, thanks to Princess Zhaohua's prescription, and there are many things after that...... Her title of Princess Zhaohua was given by merit. ”

As soon as they said this, some people immediately expressed disbelieving: "Who can say for sure, the good reputation in the past does not mean that this person cannot become bad, don't you know why they left Kyoto and came to Zhoucheng?" It is said that they offended most of the officials in the court, and many of them were forced to die, so they had to leave, which is a big problem. ”

"Yes, besides, the Zhou family has blessed our Zhou City for many years, who of you present has not received the help of the Zhou family, if it is not for the Zhou family to provide food and people every winter, I don't know how many people will starve to death, you don't want to be ungrateful, we must help the Zhou family master seek justice today."

As soon as these words came out, the people who helped Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi speak suddenly fell silent, they didn't want to be ungrateful.

In the palace, seeing the two of them coming in, Zhou Da hurriedly got up to greet him: "Xiaguan has seen the king of Yijun and the princess of the county. He didn't dare to underestimate these two, after all, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the second prince, the Zhou family would probably have been taken down. In the past, I always heard the head of the family say that they have courage and are not afraid of offending people, but now they can be regarded as knowledge.

"Lord Zhou is exempt, we are here to observe, Lord Zhou is the deputy chief judge, above this government hall, you are higher than us."

"The words of the county prince will make the officials angry." Zhou Da didn't dare to say yes, led the two of them to take a seat, and he went down to prepare.

Baili Jinchuan, who was dressed in a python robe, walked in, a sachet with a delicate gold seal was hung on one side of the belt, but the position where the jade pendant should be hung on the right side was empty, after he gave the jade pendant to Xiaobao, he didn't choose one to hang on, did he forget it or did it intentionally?

Shen Ninghua lowered his eyes slightly, and got up with Baili Jun to salute.

Baili Jinchuan's voice was flat, but his eyes fell on Shen Ninghua as if he were nothing: "Fifth brother, don't be polite, you are somewhat involved in the affairs of the Zhou family, so I specially called you here." ”

"It should."

"Fifth brother, don't feel uncomfortable." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Baili Junyi to respond, and walked directly to the hall and sat down, "Lord Zhou, everything is ready?" ”

"Back to the prince, it's ready."

"Okay, then bring Zhou Ziqing up."

"Mighty!"

Zhou Ziqing was still wearing the previous clothes, and after a night of tossing, his clothes were a little more wrinkled, and he looked a little embarrassed, but his expression was extraordinarily calm, and the smile on his face was still as indifferent and elegant as usual.

"Grass man Zhou Ziqing has seen Prince De, King Yijun, Princess County, and Lord Zhou."

Baili Jinchuan looked at Zhou Ziqing coldly: "Zhou Ziqing, can you plead guilty?" ”

"Back to the prince, the grass people don't understand what their crimes are, how can they admit it?"

"Yes, the head of the Zhou family is not guilty!"

"The head of the Zhou family is wronged, let go, let go of the head of the Zhou family!"

When the people at the door saw Zhou Ziqing being brought up, they immediately raised their arms and shouted indignantly, and the noise was clearly heard in the lobby.

Baili Jinchuan slapped the shocked wood: "Quiet! ”

The guards cooperated and turned around and drew their spears to attack, which suddenly shocked the people gathered outside the mansion and did not dare to make a sound.

Baili Jinchuan looked at Zhou Ziqing: "You say you are not guilty?" ”

Zhou Ziqing nodded: "Yes, the grass people also don't understand, after learning that the disaster victims entered the city, the grass people prepared food and medicinal materials overnight to help Yijun Wang relieve the disaster victims, these days, more and more people came to Zhoucheng after hearing the news, the food in the grass people's homes is difficult to support, several rice shops have closed their doors because there is no goods, and after reporting the truth, they were directly detained, and even their homes were confiscated, and the grass people were also very confused. ”

Baili Jinchuan turned his head: "If you talk about this, then you have to ask the fifth brother." Fifth brother, when I came, you had already detained the head of the Zhou family, now can you explain why you detained the head of the Zhou family? ”

"I'm just talking to the head of the Zhou family, why do you want to detain it?"

As soon as he said this, the reaction of the people outside was even greater: "I didn't even admit it, and I tied people up or didn't they detain them?" ”

"Not only was it seized, but it was also copied from the Zhou Mansion!"

"yes......"

Baili Jinchuan patted the startled wood again: "Okay, it's all quiet, the merits, this king will definitely ask clearly." Fifth brother, it seems that many people don't believe what you say. ”

Baili Junyi smiled when he heard this: "Innocent, I won't embarrass an ordinary person." Why did I do it, the head of the Zhou family should be clear. ”

Zhou Ziqing raised his head with a respectful attitude, but the words he said were unceremoniously: "The prince of the county said that he laughed, the grass people do good deeds and accumulate virtue on weekdays, and they have never done anything that violates the law and discipline, what should they know?" The only thing that's wrong ......"

He looked up at the people outside, with a deep guilt in his eyes: "If you say this wrong place, I'm afraid it is the people who are involved outside for no reason, they heard that I had an accident, and they actually surrounded the disaster camp and Princess Yi's residence, which is really not the intention of the grass people." If there is any guilt, the grass people are willing to bear it, and I ask Prince De not to blame the people. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people outside were moved to tears, and they looked at Baili Junyi's eyes with a lot of anger, how could King Yijun attack such a Zhou family master who thought about the people, it was simply unreasonable.

Baili Jinchuan looked at Baili Junyi: "Fifth brother, the people were emotional for a while, I think you won't pursue it, right?" ”

"Naturally, it will not be pursued." He told Zhou Ziqing before that he wanted to report the Zhou family's turmoil to the people, but he didn't expect Zhou Ziqing to come to block his mouth now.

"Then the fifth brother will continue to explain, why do you want to detain the head of the Zhou family?"

Baili Junyi glanced at Zhou Ziqing and Baili Jinchuan, and said slowly: "Naturally, I want to investigate some things." ”

Baili Jinchuan's eyes were resolute: "What do you want to investigate?" ”

"I want to investigate whether the Zhou family is bullying!"

The people outside laughed.

"Haha, the Zhou family is bullying? It's so funny! ”

"Who doesn't know that the Zhou family is the most benevolent, and no one in Zhou City says it's good."

Zhou Ziqing also had a wry smile on his face: "King Yijun laughed, the grass people never dare to bully people on weekdays, and even their subordinates are strictly restrained. ”

"Oh, is the Zhou family master sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll call the two of them to come up and confront the head of the Zhou family." Baili Jun flicked his sleeves violently, turned to the guards behind him and ordered, "Bring the two brothers, Sun Da and Sun Er, up." ”

Sun Da, Sun Er? Who are these people?

Zhou Ziqing couldn't think of it for a while, but Zhou Da's face suddenly changed.

Two men dressed as ordinary people were brought up and knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted.

Seeing the slightly familiar appearance of the two, Zhou Ziqing suddenly recalled that these two people were not the two people who were surrounded and beaten by officers and soldiers at the banquet to welcome Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua in Qilin Garden? Isn't it already taken care of, how did they get here?
