After dark, Ru'an Mansion was very quiet, and two young men, a man and a woman, walked along the street and soon reached a remote alley.

The moonlight was dark, the whole alley was pitch black, and as soon as the two stepped into the alley, they saw a bumpy figure walking out of the alley.

Shen Qianqiu nodded slightly at the visitor and said:

"I've seen Mrs. Zhou."

"Don't call me that, after today, I have nothing to do with that man."

After the figure finished speaking coldly, he showed his true face, and it was the woman whose real name was Xu Juanxiu, that is, Zhou Kang's wife.

……

Shen Qianqiu was not displeased by the other party's cold attitude, and still said softly:

"Thank you first, girl."

Xu Juanxiu said lukewarmly, then handed over a booklet and said:

"This is the evidence of the Zhou family's father and son's greed for ink over the years, as well as those ordinary people who disappeared for no reason."

Shen Qianqiu took it with both hands, and did not rush to open it, and the woman opposite then took out a letter from her cuff and said:

"This letter will be handed over to Zhou Kang for me."

After saying that, the woman turned her head to look at Li Mizhen, who had been vigilant from beginning to end, and then said to the other party, who was also a woman:

"Your life is so good."

After saying this inexplicable sentence, Xu Juanxiu directly put the letter in Li Mizhen's hand, turned his head and left, the latter was stunned for a moment, until the other party disappeared into the alley, and then wondered:

"What do you mean by this fox?"

Shen Qianqiu shook his head on the side, he didn't know the mystery, but he just remembered a sentence that the Eighth Prince often said - it is better to offend a villain than a woman.

……

There was a sound of neat footsteps on the street of Ru'an Mansion, although Luo Baihu specially ordered the soldiers to march softly, but the team of one hundred and ten people could not be said to be quiet, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling soon discovered the situation here.

"Stop, who's who?"

The guards of the city who were accustomed to the days of big fish and big meat followed Xun goods, naturally felt a little stunned when they saw such a group of people in the middle of the night, and subconsciously pulled out the saber on their waists, but Luo Baihu had already made preparations, and hurriedly greeted with a smile:

"It turned out to be the brothers guarding the city, we are the garrison of the Qianmen Mansion, and we have just received a military order to set off for the northern line overnight, and I bother the brothers to report and help us open the city gate."

As he spoke, more than 100 people had come to the front, and several patrol soldiers were relieved at first when they saw that it was their own people, but then they sensed that something was wrong:

"In the middle of the night, the city gate has long been closed, where did you get the military order?"

Without waiting for them to react, the soldiers of the Qianmen Mansion directly rushed up and pressed them to the ground, and pulled the rope prepared in advance into their mouths.

"Brother, I'm sorry, when the matter is over, Lao Luo will set up a banquet to make amends for your sins."

Luo Baihu confessed, and then ordered his subordinates to throw the tied patrol officers and soldiers into the side alley, and after leaving a few people to guard, he led the troops towards the Zhou Mansion

……

Zhou Zuo was sitting in the study at this time, and suddenly heard a noise outside, he frowned and got up to open the door, and was about to call the housekeeper, but saw a torch suddenly lit up in the courtyard, and when he was stunned, an officer had already walked to the front with a knife, and said in a muffled voice:

"Lord Zhou, I'm offended."

Without waiting for Zhou to speak, Zhou Kang's voice sounded first in the direction of the backyard:

"You bastards, do you know who my father is? Breaking into Zhou's Mansion in the middle of the night, could it be that he couldn't find death? ”

Not long after, the disheveled Zhou Gongzi was pushed to the front yard.

"This military master, why did he break into my mansion, dare to ask if it is because the city of the palace is not well entertained?"

Zhou has lived in officialdom for a long time, this scene is not enough to mess up his proportions, although he is not in the army, he also knows that some *** temper is greater than ability, and if he is slightly unsatisfactory, he will face each other with swords, which is really vulgar.

……

But this officer dressed as a hundred households is not the kind of reckless man who wants to draw a knife and close his mouth and kill when he opens his mouth, but says politely:

"Please Lord Zhou, Zhou Gongzi don't be impatient, Shen Langzhong will be here in a while, and he will explain the situation to the two of you."

Zhou Wei sighed in his heart when he heard this, and had a faint sense of ominousness, but Zhou Kang on the side didn't care about this, and scolded directly:

"What is he Shen Qianqiu, Lao Tzu hasn't looked for him yet, he dares to send troops to break into my Zhou Mansion......"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Qianqiu's voice came from the shadow wall at the door:

"Gongzi Zhou is cautious in his words and deeds, Shen is only a shallow learner, but he is also an official of the imperial court, Zhou Gongzi has no official and no character, and when he sees Shen, he doesn't kneel, and he dares to insult him with wild words, this alone is enough to eat a meal."

After Shen Qianqiu finished speaking, he had already come to the front yard, he walked up to Zhou Kang, stared at the other party, and continued:

"What's more, Zhou Gongzi also committed the capital crime of killing his head a lot."

Zhou Kang was naturally unconvinced, and was about to open his mouth to scold back, but he listened to Zhou Zuo on the side and said in a deep voice:

"Shen Langzhong's words can be evidenced, not whoever has more people can talk nonsense."

At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded outside the door again, and a fat man in armor rushed in with soldiers, and the Zhou Mansion, which was quite spacious, immediately became cramped.

The fat man came to the front with a snort, "Lord Shen, what's the matter?" ”

Xun Xiang's body is bloated, but his mind is delicate and abnormal, he did not draw his sword for the "brother" at the first time, but asked Shen Qianqiu for the reason, and made it clear that no one wanted to offend.

Xun Fatzi knew very well in his heart that since the other party dared to lead troops to besiege the mansion, he must have come prepared, first find out the opponent's hole cards, and it will be convenient to rudder up when he sees the wind.

……

Shen Qianqiu didn't sell it, and directly took out a booklet and said:

"General Xun should see for himself."

Xun Xiang took the booklet, opened it and just glanced at it, his face was instantly ugly, he turned four or five pages in a row, his fat face gradually became gloomy like water, he and Zhou Wei have known each other for many years, how could they not recognize the other party's handwriting, the strips on this account book are clearly ironclad evidence of the other party's crimes.

The moment he saw the ledger, Zhou Wei's heart couldn't help beating wildly, but he still couldn't believe that this was the booklet hidden in the secret compartment of his study, so he tentatively asked:

"Brother Xun, what is written in this booklet?"

"Shut up!"

Xun Xiang, who has always been known as the "smiling tiger", suddenly opened his eyes angrily, raised his fat finger and scolded Zhou Zuo:

"How can you, a corrupt person, be Xun's brother? It's all because I'm blind, I didn't see that you are this kind of person, and you and I will cut off our robes and never see each other. ”

After Xun Xiang finished speaking, he directly tore off the corner of his robe in front of everyone and threw it on the ground, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhou Wei in public, and it is also destined that the relationship between the two will not ease in the future.

Zhou Wei's face was pale, but he didn't say a word, he could now be sure that this booklet was the one in his study.

Shen Qianqiu looked at Xun Xiang's clumsy performance coldly, and he was worried that this guy would take out his weapon and fight with him, it seemed that he was overestimating him, he was the one who killed people and shared the spoils, and he was also the one who fell into the well, which was really despicable.

Just when Xun Xiang was about to leave with an angry face, Shen Qianqiu suddenly said coldly:

"Xun Baihu, where are you going?"
