Chapter VI

In the end, Zhou Renming was speechless, although he was very aggrieved, he did not dare to offend the patriarch and clan elders, if he was removed from the clan, he would be completely finished. Therefore, he agreed to pay back the money against his will.

But he really didn't have any money. The ten taels of silver promised to Hu Zhang at the beginning were still borrowed by him. Now, where is he going to get fifty taels of silver?

Zhou Renwu did not bear it and was willing to repay the debt for him, which made him overjoyed.

"Brother Renming, when the ugly words come to the front, I can give you fifty taels, what mortgage do you take? When will I be returned? ”

"I..." Zhou Renming was speechless for a while.

"Don't you still have a house?" The sixth master interjected, "Take that house as a mortgage and return the money to Renwu within half a year." If you can't get it yet, you will give the house to Renwu. ”

Zhou Renming's face turned white immediately. Although his house was dilapidated, it was worth at least eighty taels of silver in the downtown area of the city. Now, it's only fifty taels, what a loss!

But now he is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only bow his head and admit it.

After signing the paperwork, Hu Zhang happily took fifty taels of silver and said goodbye.

Zhou Renming looked at Zhou Zheng with a resentful expression. He could guess that it was all the work of this damn little imp. He'll definitely find a way to get revenge back!

But he hadn't thought of a plan for revenge, and his misfortune had struck again.

A woman from a Qinglou came to the clan to make trouble, saying that Zhou Renming slept with her, but she didn't pay the money.

How much? Two taels of silver.

This is clearly a slap in the face, and it has become a joke!

Although, in the end, it was Zhou Renwu who gave the money to send the woman away. But Zhou Renming completely lost his face and stayed in the county.

The clansmen didn't tell jokes, and his daughter-in-law also fought with him every day, making a fuss about going back to her parents' house. Even his son looked down on him.

didn't wait for everyone to laugh enough, a few days later, Zhou Renming died in the river.

The preliminary appraisal of the work was that it was believed to be murdered. But the killer left no clues. The case became unsolved for a while.

The Qinglou woman was indeed arranged by Zhou Zheng, and it was Hu Zhang's good friend. Hu Zhang earned one hundred and fifty taels of silver for no reason, and naturally did his best for Zhou Zheng's arrangement.

But the murder really has nothing to do with Zhou Zhengke!

Hearing the news of Zhou Renming's death, he also sighed, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

People, not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves. He was actually quite worried that if he forced Zhou Renming into a hurry, what would that guy do.

Now, when a person is a hundred, he can also sleep peacefully.

That night, Zhou Zheng slept very sweetly. In the haze, he saw the little widow Tang, sitting at the head of his bed, smiling and helping him untie his clothes.

The seductive body fragrance made him numb, and he couldn't help but cooperate with him to strip himself naked. Then, he couldn't wait to pounce on it, regardless of tearing Tang's already light clothes.

If it's a dream, it's so real!

The young man doesn't know the wind and the moon, and it is difficult to wait for the clouds and rain!

I don't know how long it took, but he lay on her chest tiredly, quietly listening to the sound of her heartbeat.

But suddenly, he felt a heart-rending pain in his heart.

He hurriedly figured out. But his whole body was sore, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

He exerted all his strength, broke through his will, and suddenly got up.

He was floating in the air!

He saw that Tang was still looking at him with a smile, but the hand that was stroking his back had turned into a claw, and he was digging out his heart little by little.

He yelled and sat up suddenly.

It turned out to be a nightmare!

Ming'er held a candle and hurried in from the outhouse.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing. Pour me saliva. ”

Ming'er poured the water and tested the temperature before handing it to him.

"Young Master, why are you sweating so much?" As he spoke, he hurriedly wiped him.

"It's okay, I had a nightmare." When he tried to think about the scene in his dream, the picture became more and more blurry.

He was sleepy and fell asleep again.

When he woke up the next day, he had almost forgotten the dream he had heard from last night. If it weren't for the fact that there was something left on his pants, he couldn't remember having such a dream.

He hurriedly washed up and changed into clean clothes and trousers. Rarely, clean the underwear by yourself.

This increasingly blurry nightmare did not attract his attention. Within a few days, he completely threw this matter into the land of Gua.

One more day, it will be fifteen. Today he must go out of the city to guard the tomb of his parents.

Ming'er prepared the incense table, candles, and worship supplies early in the morning. Zhou Zheng's bedding and food were also packed in boxes.

Guard the mausoleum and don't let women go. Otherwise, she really wanted to accompany the young master. The young master was alone in the wilderness, living in a thatched house, she was really not at ease.

Zhou Zheng doesn't care, this is not the first time, he has long been used to it.

It's just that for Zhou Rensong and his wife, Zhou Zheng can't say what kind of emotion it is. He always felt that the kind of family affection between them and Zhou Zheng didn't seem to have anything to do with him. Although, I can empathize with it.

He was more of a spectator than an eyewitness.

But this feeling is too! He even wondered if he was born to be a ruthless person. This kind of person, he himself is very despised!

Speaking of disdain, he remembered his previous things. Although he was young and ignorant, he was deeply ashamed of many of his actions now. I always feel like I can do it myself.

Every now and then, he began to comfort himself. Maybe it was the death of his parents that made him change his ways.

Since this is the case, then be a good person in the future!

The servants of the house let him be dismissed, so he drove the carriage himself.

As soon as he left the city gate, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest blocking the way.

"This layman, poor Taoist looks at your face, there is a catastrophe today, and it is not suitable to go out. Let's go home. ”

"Hey, this Dao Master, even if you want to turn into a relationship, don't you say a few good words!" Zhou Zheng made a straight face, took out a piece of broken silver and threw it directly, "Get out, I still have to hurry!" ”

"Boy! Didn't you hear what Dao Ye said? Hurry home! "The Taoist priest turned out to be a fiery temper, and he stretched out his hand to pull the horse's head.

"Don't think you have a lot of money? Tell you, you're worth that much! Don't think I'm a bully as a child! If you don't leave, be careful that I beat you! ”

The Taoist priest was so angry that he was about to have a seizure, but suddenly remembered what the gentleman had told him before leaving, and swallowed his anger vigorously. After calming down for a long time, he calmly handed over a jade pendant.

"Since you gave the money, I'll give you something. But this jade pendant cannot be worn on the front and needs to be hung on your back. ”

Looking at the rudely made jade pendant, Zhou Zheng wanted to throw it away. But after listening to the Taoist priest, he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something important, and he couldn't think of anything.

"Back?"

He felt confused, but he still couldn't help but put on the jade pendant.
