Chapter 8: Disputes

The Zhou family and the eunuch are on the same page, and now in Kangchengfang, the eunuch's private gambling house has been discovered, and Zhou Shutao will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Although he is also surnamed Zhou, he is a side branch of the Zhou family, and he is not much reused by the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shutao directly asked people to guard the entrance of Fangmen Alley, close the Fangmen, and do not allow any suspicious people and large vehicles to enter and exit.

Even door-to-door searches are aimed at apprehending gambling house escapees.

"Zhonglang General, Zhonglang General, someone wants to pass through the fangmen, and they are not allowed to search." Jin Wuwei quickly ran in front of Zhou Shutao with a spear in his hand.

Zhou Shutao was displeased, "Who is so bold?" How dare you obstruct Jin Wuwei's actions? ”

"Yes...... It's Princess Kang. The henchman replied.

Zhou Shutao frowned and said in a low voice: "Princess Kang is related to Honglu Siqing, she has always loved Su Shaohua's nephew, and Honglu Siqing is a good dog in Guan Zhi...... You go and talk to Princess Kang...... That's it, after all, it's a relative of the emperor, and ordinary people can't stop it, so I'm going to go there in person. ”

After that, Zhou Shutao took his henchmen to the door.

Before Zhou Shutao got closer, he saw the princess's frame from a distance. The prince is the concubine, the frame is already huge, and King Kang is still a prince who has a lot of weight in the clan, and Princess Kang's frame is naturally even more grand.

Zhou Shutao stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang will Zhou Shutao and meet the princess, Jin Wuwei acted and disturbed the princess, and asked the princess for forgiveness." ”

Princess Kang naturally couldn't come out to talk to Zhou Shutao in person, and it was a grandmother next to Princess Kang who came out to pass the word, "Zhonglang will be polite, and our princess has no intention of disturbing, please ask Zhonglang to give way, the princess has something important." ”

Zhou Shutao is neither humble nor arrogant, "Someone opened a casino in Kangchengfang in disregard of the national funeral, and now the mastermind is fleeing." In order to protect the safety of the princess, the princess was also asked to get out of the car and search, and after the search, the princess could be let go. ”

Mama's face was on the side, she didn't need to go back to ask, she knew what her princess meant, "Bold!" The dignified princess's car is also what you can search for when you say that a little Zhonglang will say. Besides, the princess walked to the gate of the fang, and the car did not stop along the way, can she still cover up the mastermind you said? ”

Zhou Shutao pursed his lips and didn't let him go at all, "The last general is all for the princess's health and well-being." If the princess has any mistakes, the last will be difficult to escape the blame, and this search will not offend the princess. Please also ask the princess to know it. ”

"Will Zhonglang suspect me of harboring a prisoner?" A woman's voice came from the carriage, her tone unkind and eager, quite a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"The last general will not dare." Zhou Shutao also had a difficulty in his heart, he naturally knew that the princess's car could not be easily searched, and it was easy to make enemies if she was slightly offended, but the princess's car was huge, and it was easy to fish in troubled waters, and if she wanted to let Princess Kang pass, the door would be wide open, and the people guarding several streets would also give way to the princess, and it would be difficult to say what the situation would be at that time.

His behavior was not so much to search Princess Kang's car, but to use it as a reason to let Princess Kang retreat from the difficult situation and not leave the workshop.

"Don't dare. Zhonglang knew that this was something he knew he couldn't do. Princess Kang said coldly, her tone was sarcastic, and she went straight to Zhou Shutao: "The role of Jin Wuwei is to protect the peace of the imperial city and maintain the order of the imperial city. If someone is found to have set up a private casino during the state funeral, it should be reported to Jing Zhaoyin or Dali Temple, even if it is the criminal department. When will it be Kim Wuwei's turn to investigate the case?

It's just that you are more than a substitute, but it also disturbs the peace inside and outside the workshop, and the door of the square is closed in the blue sky and day, have you ever thought about the residents in the house? Zhonglang General, although Kangchengfang is not as good as the Changle Fang and Anning Fang around the imperial city, it is full of royal relatives and dignitaries, but there are also many officials living here. If you act in this way, you will not be afraid of hindering officials from traveling and delaying the government. ”

Of course, Zhou Shutao knows this truth, but as Princess Kang said, high-ranking officials and magnates all live in Changle Fang and Anning Fang, and most of the officials in Kangcheng Fang are small officials, except for King Kang's Mansion, where do they dare to stop Jin Wuwei from acting. What's more, he is still surnamed Zhou, even if he is only a side branch.

Moreover, as long as those officials let him search, he would naturally let them leave, and there were other roads in the workshop besides the fangmen, and the small officials' cars could not be compared to the prince and princess, so there was no need to open the fangmen.

"The princess said seriously, if an official wants to leave the workshop, as long as there is a routine search, the general will naturally let him go. As long as the princess gets out of the car and searches, and after confirming that it is correct, the princess will be let go. Zhou Shutao said stubbornly.

"Good! Good! Good! Princess Kang said three good words in a row, even if she didn't show up, she could hear how angry she was, and her tone was awe-inspiring, "What a Zhonglang general of the Zhou family." I never thought that now that the Zhou family is so domineering, even a small Zhonglang general would dare to insult me here. ”

Zhou Shutao hurriedly knelt down, "The last general doesn't dare, this matter is just a routine matter for the last general, and it has nothing to do with the Zhou family." ”

He wanted to make meritorious contributions to the Zhou family, but he didn't want to cause trouble for the Zhou family, if something really happened, the people of the Zhou family could tear him up alive.

"Don't dare? I don't dare. Although I am a woman, I am also a princess, and tomorrow I will ask the prince to go to the court to ask Zhou Shizhong whether today's matter was instructed by Zhou. Zhou's son, is it really so strong. Although Princess Kang didn't dare to touch the Zhou family, she was not afraid of a Zhonglang general of the Zhou family's side branch.

When the Zhou family was not suppressed, they still had to pay homage to her, and after the suppression of the first emperor, it was not as good as before. Although the new emperor is now on the throne, is it not impossible for the Zhou family to come to the Kang Wangfu for a side branch disciple.

If Zhou Shutao is acquainted, then he should get out of the way and don't force her to make a big fuss.

"Princess-" Zhou Shutao raised his head sharply, incredulous, he had been searching here all day today, and he didn't know what was going on in Xishi, so he didn't understand why Princess Kang would rather let out such cruel words and must leave.

He knew in his heart that Princess Kang's words were just to threaten him, and she would not really let King Kang question Zhou Shizhong in the court. But Princess Kang can go into the palace to complain to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will not care.

The reason why Princess Kang said this was to tell him that if he didn't open the door and let her pass, she would let the Zhou family severely punish him.

Zhou Shutao gritted his teeth, he closed the door and searched in order to make the Zhou family pay attention to him. If he doesn't let Princess Kang leave, the Zhou family will not let him go, unless he can catch the eunuch's handle in this search, and it is possible to atone for his crimes.

However, it is almost difficult to catch a few big fish at the top of the eunuchs, and at most some middle-level officials, it is impossible to completely shake the status of the eunuchs.

After weighing the pros and cons, Rao is Zhou Shutao was reluctant, so he had to grit his teeth and ask someone to open the door.
