The Zhou family is a thin middle-aged man, with a washed white robe full of patches, which is very in line with the depressed winter baking image in Zhao Hengyi's impression.

"Student Zhou Yonglin, I've seen Zhao Dongzhu!"

Really a reader.

"Mr. Zhou came to me, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Hengyi figured out the other party's intentions, and his eyes couldn't help but be scrutinized.

"I overheard a major event related to the life of the proprietor Zhao, and I came to report it!"

Looking at Zhou Yonglin, who was pretending to be mysterious, Zhao Hengyi felt very funny in his heart.

On the way when he first came, the old village chief had already told Zhao Hengyi the origin of Zhou Yonglin.

The children of the Zhou family's branch, who have been studying since childhood, have tried and failed, although they are not pedantic, but they are too honest, and they were pitted very miserably by the relatives of the Zhou family, and the industry of his vein was almost lost.

Similar situations are not uncommon in a big family like the Zhou family, after all, they have been scattered for many years, and there are too many bloodline heirs in the family, and there are even those who have to be tenants.

Zhou Yonglin said that after a year or two, he would also be a tenant and rent land from other Zhou family members to plant.

"What does Mr. Zhou want? Money? Grain? ”

Zhao Hengyi took the lead, "I suggest that my husband come to our night school in Yushuwan to work, he is not tired, his salary is more, and he is respected, which is very suitable for the work of a scholar." ”

"Zhao Dongzhu, it's a matter of his life, don't take care of Zuoyan him, it's a big mistake!"

Seeing that Zhao Hengyi didn't follow the routine, Zhou Yonglin suddenly became a little anxious, "If Zhao Dongzhu can't trust the student, just say it, why bother to tease?" ”

"I'm telling the truth."

Zhao Hengyi was unmoved, "Yushuwan lacks a scholar who can read and write, and he is willing to hire Mr. Zhou to teach at a high salary, but he needs to eat and live with us, which is somewhat inconvenient, but Mr. Zhou can rest assured, I will provide Mr. with a house that is enough for his family to live in, and Mr. can bring his family with him." ”

On the way here, Zhao Hengyi had already thought clearly, although Zhou Yonglin was a side branch of the Zhou family, he did not necessarily have a sense of identity and belonging to the Zhou family, after all, it was the Zhou family who was plotting to rob his family's property!

No matter what the news brought by Zhou Yonglin was, Zhao Hengyi planned to keep the other party.

There is really a shortage of teachers in the night school, just one teacher teaches classes, and the old scholar is very tired, if it weren't for Zhao Hengyi's constant salary increase, I'm afraid that people would have run away a long time ago!

"Understood, what Zhao Dongzhu said is the messenger, the student should go!"

Zhou Yonglin thought hard, thinking that Zhao Hengyi hired him for some kind of deal, and at the same time, he also conveyed his willingness to provide protection for his family, so that he did not have to worry about the Zhou family's retaliation, "Zhao Dongzhu, I accidentally learned the day before yesterday that the Zhou family's big house was instructed by the old lady to contact Yuan Mei, the head catcher in the county, to deal with you!" ”

With Zhou Yonglin's narration, Zhao Hengyi slowly understood what was going on.

The matter of the rout arranged by the Zhou family before was not revealed, if the news really leaked out, it would not be a rich man like the Zhou family to deal with him, and he would not use such inferior means as Zhou Yonglin said!

Calculating Zhao Hengyi, calculating the instructions of Elm Bay came from the old lady of the Zhou family, the means are not clever, but in the countryside, they are very useful.

Zhao Hengyi didn't understand why the old lady of the Zhou family was eyeing him, Yushuwan and Zhoujia Village did not border, and they were even far away, and he had nothing to do with the Zhou family in the past, could it be that he was jealous when he saw that his business was booming?

If you don't understand, you don't bother to think about it, Zhao Hengyi just needs to be prepared to deal with it.

Zhou Yonglin was left directly by Zhao Hengyi, and he really arranged to go to night school and be the companion of the old gentleman before.

Zhou Yonglin, who has read sage books since he was a child, looked confused when he saw the textbooks in Yushuwan.

"Lao Zhou, don't be confused, we will teach whatever the owner asks us to teach, and we don't need poetry, articles, and sage books."

The old gentleman finally saw his new colleague and was very enthusiastic, "You go to class with me tonight, and after you get acquainted, you will be able to take charge on your own tomorrow night!" ”

Zhou Yonglin: ......

For the Zhou family's methods, Zhao Hengyi has countless ways to resolve them, and he chose the most deterrent one.

That night, the escort team and the hunting team were dispatched at the same time, setting up defenses around Elm Bay, waiting for the arrival of the Zhou family.

The people of the daughter army also joined in the fun, and Wang Erhu took them to hide from the side to watch the play.

Not far from Zhao Hengyi, Lu Jiuniang, who had not healed from her injuries, sat on the treetops, fiddling with a hand crossbow that was not yet warm.

In Elm Bay, the weaving workshop, which still had not yet reached the number of looms, was started overnight, and the canteen that provided meals for the women workers was also turned on to ensure that those who left the work could eat hot meals at any time.

On several kilns, the craftsmen dutifully guarded the kiln mouth, always paying attention to the changes in the kiln temperature, and now houses are being built everywhere in the village, but they dare not burn the kiln and delay the work.

No different from the past, Elm Bay is still lively and full of life and vitality tonight.

On the low slope not far away, the head catcher Yuan Mei took a few catchers with a puzzled face, this Zhao Hengyi is too ruthless, he doesn't even let the workers sleep!

This kind of thief who is rich and unkind, this is to catch the head to deal with him, it is simply doing the right thing for heaven!

The novel experience of chivalry and righteousness that has never been seen before filled Yuan Mei's chest!

"Lord Yuan, this Elm Bay is brightly lit all night, don't wait any longer, let's start."

Standing next to Yuan Mei was Zhou Xingwang, the pillar of the Zhou family's big house, this person was in his forties, and everything tonight was planned by him personally.

Yuan Mei nodded reservedly, didn't say anything at all, and Zhou Xingwang didn't care about it, and directly gave an order to his clansmen, and the action began!

Yuan Mei looked down on a rich man like Zhou Xingwang, and Zhou Xingwang also looked down on Yuan Mei!

A head catcher with the nickname of Yuan Shaving, if it weren't for the things that the old lady explained must be used, no one would take the initiative to provoke!

Zhou Xingwang brought two hundred Zhou family members, which can be called a rare big action in recent years, and the night could not hide the excitement of these Zhou family members, one by one holding torches towards Yushu Bay.

Yuan Mei watched from the sidelines with a toothache, and you lit the torch before you got to the place, a bunch of fools!

beckoned his subordinates to follow, and Yuan Mei followed behind the team with a big stab, and the show began!

Under the moonlight, a man in tattered clothes and scarred faces stumbled towards Elm Bay, his task was simple, but crucial.

This man wants to run into Elm Bay to hide, and wait until Zhou Xingwang leads people to rush into Elm Bay to make trouble, and then Yuan Zhutou will take the trappers to descend from the sky, and finally, he can show up.

This man's current identity is a fugitive slave from the Zhou family.
