At this end, after the person was sent to the yamen, Zhou Ji couldn't sit still for long.

In the evening of the same day, he was arrested.

He asked someone to buy him mugwort and coptis chinensis, and when he went to get it, he was held down.

If it weren't for the other party saying more when he took the thing, revealing what the thing was, otherwise he would have been confused by Zhou Jimeng if he really didn't do it.

No one knows how Zhou Ji asked the other party, but the other party was selling roast chicken, wrapped in oiled paper and sent over, and under the basket was medicine.

At this time, Yang County Ling did not wait for the next day, and simply started the interrogation in the evening.

Yang Yuanding got the news and asked Chen Dou to take Zhang Sijiu over to see - the main thing was that he couldn't easily convince Yang County's order.

When Zhang Sijiu arrived, he just started to interrogate Zhou Ji.

Because he was arrested, Yang Xianling didn't have any roundabout words about Zhou Ji now, and went straight to the point: "Say, why did you want to kill Mr. Zhou and his family."

Zhou Ji has no merit on him, so he has no privileges, and he is tied up by Wuhua at this time, kneeling on the ground, and he is embarrassed.

He raised his head and refused to admit his guilt: "I don't understand what Yang County Ling is saying."

Yang Xianling's face turned like frost, "Zhou Ji, don't quibble. If you continue to do this, I can only ask your mother to come over and ask if you were at home on the day Mr. Zhou's family died. Where did they go?"

mentioned Zhou Ji's mother, Zhou Ji's face changed.

He gritted his teeth, and the muscle lines on his cheeks came out: "Yang County Order, my mother is seriously ill, you want her life!"

Yang Xianling's face was full of compassion, but he did not relent, but said, "It's not that I want your mother's life, it's that you want her life. If you care about her, you shouldn't do such a thing. It shouldn't be a quibble now. Since we have arrested you, we naturally have some other evidence."

Zhang Sijiu estimated that this sentence might have fooled Zhou Ji - there should be no other evidence, otherwise he would have been arrested a long time ago.

But Zhou Ji certainly didn't know this.

He looked at Yang County Order.

Yang Xian ordered the old god to sit there, not in a hurry at all, as if this was true.

Or is it the years that are the most powerful? Zhou Ji soon couldn't hold his breath, after all, he was too young and was bluffed by Yang County's order.

He began to say the conditions: "I can say it, but you have to grant me one request!"

Yang Xianling smiled: "You say."

Zhou Ji said, "Don't alarm my mother about this matter, go back and let me go back, I told her that I was going to study. Plus, I'm going to have to settle her down."

It was only at this time that Yang County Ling nodded: "Yes."

If Zhou Ji's conditions were too much, Yang County Ling would not agree.

But even if he agrees now, it's just because Yang County Ling has pity on Zhou Ji's mother.

Zhou Ji got a guarantee, and then he began to talk about Mr. Zhou's family.

He was indeed bribed and asked for his help to persuade Mr. Zhou to steal Yang Yuanding's drawings.

The other party promised that as long as he got the drawings, he could give him a large sum of money.

Zhou Ji was moved. I really went to visit Mr. Zhou.

But Mr. Zhou clearly refused this matter, and reprimanded Zhou Ji with a strong voice.

Even, Mr. Zhou mentioned Zhou Ji's grandfather and father, saying that they are a bad breed with bad morals and an unfortunate family. Let him never set foot in his house again.

Only then did Zhou Ji know that his grandfather, in order to make money, stole the dyes of the dyeing workshop for cheap ones, and falsely accused the workers of the dyeing workshop. It was Mr. Zhou who found out about this incident and later told their father. That's why his grandfather was kicked out of the house later, and even the family property was much less.

And his father knew about it.

His father first told Mr. Zhou that he felt that Grandpa Zhou Ji had done something wrong. So Mr. Zhou saw that this was his nephew, so he reconnected with Zhou Ji's family and took more care of him.

can

Unfortunately, his father was just for Mr. Zhou to introduce him and help him study. In essence, he is still a villain, and even hates Mr. Zhou.

On the eve of the expedition, his father sold his family property to prepare for the imperial examination.

Not only that, but his father also told others that Mr. Zhou was an ungrateful villain, who treated his younger brother harshly and embezzled the family property. So much so that Mr. Zhou could have been an official that year, but because of this incident, he ruined the impression of the official in charge of this matter, so he missed the opportunity and was replaced by others.

It's a pity that his father didn't wait for the imperial examination to start, so he went.

The money is nowhere to be found.

At that time, his father's body was sent back by Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou said he didn't know where the money went. Zhou Ji's father went quickly, but he didn't have time to explain. When he went, Zhou Ji's father was gone.

Zhou's mother didn't suspect anything, only said that she was unlucky. I am also very grateful to Mr. Zhou for his help.

But Zhou Ji didn't think so.

After listening to what his father said, in Zhou Ji's heart, Mr. Zhou is not a good person.

first reported Grandpa Zhou Ji for money, and later, for money, poisoned his father!

In Zhou Ji's opinion, how could his father be so healthy, how could he suddenly get sick? And, how could that money be gone for no reason? It must have been swallowed by Mr. Zhou! But Mr. Zhou still has to be a good person!

But Zhou Ji knew that he was young, so he kept pretending to know nothing, studying and interacting with Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Ji said to the end, and sneered: "What kind of good thing is he himself? He is so rich, if he really wants to help us and give us a shop, where will my mother and I live such a poor life? My mother won't burn down!"

"So you have a grudge and kill Mr. Zhou's family?" Listening to Zhou Ji's words, Yang Xianling's brows could almost kill flies. And the tone also revealed a strong disapproval.

Zhou Ji was also simply, probably feeling that it had reached this point, there was no need to say anything more, and said directly: "I didn't want to kill anyone, but he fell out with me, and said that he would never give me a letter of recommendation in the future, and he would completely cut off my way to the imperial examination!" He brought it on himself! He won't say anything about the drawings! Anyway, as long as I sell the drawings this time, I won't have to worry about money anymore. Why don't I do it? Since he's seen it, let him draw it! And my dyeing shop, shop, and money, he has to pay it back!"

His expression and tone were vicious, with a sense of cheerfulness: "He refused to say it at first, I thought he had a lot of integrity! As a result, you don't have to beg me the same! And, he still wants me to let them go? How is that possible?!"

Hearing this, everyone understood that from the moment Zhou Ji made his move, what he was thinking about was not persecution.

But...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness.
