"Huh?"

Wu Zhi looked at the old butler who hurriedly ran in, his eyes puzzled.

He looked in the direction of the threshold.

There are several horse-drawn carriages carrying goods parked in the wide road, and although you can't get a full view of them from this angle, you can still feel that they are full.

In an instant, Wu Zhi stood up and glanced at Hu Sanniang.

"It should be someone who came to find Hujiazhuang."

"Then I'll take care of it."

While Hu Sanniang nodded, she took the lead in walking out, and several other people automatically followed.

Soon, everyone walked to the door and saw a few people who had been waiting outside for a long time, just by looking at the dress, they knew that they were all rich and noble.

But there was an eerie and harmonious silence in the air around him.

Hu Sanniang hesitated: "Who are you looking for?" Could it be that you misunderstood the wrong person? ”

"I'm not mistaken, we are here to find Lord Prefectural and General Wu."

The man at the head replied decisively.

The next moment, I saw him bow deeply with the group of people behind him, and his head hit his feet directly with a muffled sound, full of sincerity.

The sound was deafening, and it instantly attracted many onlookers around.

"I am a descendant of the Zhou family, when my father listened to slander and colluded with traitors in order to live forever, and murdered the lives of an entire village, and finally informed me of this before he died."

"For several years, I didn't know where the body was buried, and I just wanted to calm down."

"But ever since the skull was excavated from that mountain, I have had trouble sleeping, and I have often had nightmares about a bunch of headless souls asking for their lives in front of my bed."

"The reason why I came here today is to let the county magistrate and General Wu be a witness, and donate half of the family property to compensate those who were killed in the first place, or use it to build a mausoleum for burial."

Word by word, loud and clear.

And after saying these words, the man at the head did not get up, and kept bowing deeply.

Even Wu Zhi, who is not shocked at every turn, couldn't help but be shocked after hearing these words, and looked at these people in front of him in disbelief.

The others were even more stunned, speechless in shock!

At the same time, the people around them also heard these words, and after a short silence, there was a tidal wave of discussions.

The climax is repeated, wave after wave.

"It is said that more than 400 lives were destroyed in the hands of that bad old man!"

"Hurt so many people, but in the end choose to die, so that future generations will live in remorse and panic for the rest of their lives? As soon as I think of the lack of virtue done by this old immortal, I get angry! ”

"If it's my relatives, I can't forgive it, it's clearly a disaster!"

"This kind of person will not be angry even if he goes to the eighteenth layer of hell!"

Almost unexpectedly, after the descendants of the Zhou family revealed their identity, they were cursed and spurned all over the world.

There are also those who are too emotional, pick up stones directly from the ground and start smashing people.

Seeing this, Hu Sanniang subconsciously wanted to go up and drag people into the mansion first, preparing to talk about something, instead of letting the situation get out of control here.

But she didn't even have time to take half a step before she was grabbed by a force.

When I looked back, it was Wu Zhi's hand, and he shook his head slightly to stop it, and his voice was faint.

"Sanniang, don't worry, I'm here to see how long this Zhou Gongzi's attitude of admitting his mistakes can last."

“…… Good. ”

Hu Sanniang's expression paused for a moment, and finally nodded, and her feet were withdrawn.

And Wu Song and the others all heard a few short sentences, but they were all silent, and they broke off the idea of stepping forward.

They were also awakened by Wu Zhi's words.

The tragedy of that day was devastating, and it was a nightmare for countless people in the nearby villages of ten miles and eight villages, and how many people were displaced and became homeless because of this?

The sour taste in the center is also known only to them.

No one has the right to forgive the survivors and their families.

So, even though there was a mess around him, and it was about to turn the sky upside down, Wu Zhi still stood still, as if he was ignoring everything in front of him.

Half an hour later.

He pondered that the time was almost up before he spoke in a deep voice.

"Gongzi Zhou, first of all, let me ask you a question, do you regret coming here today? Do you have any complaints about these people? ”

"That's what I'm supposed to bear."

The answer blurted out without any hesitation.

After speaking, Zhou Gongzi finally reluctantly got up and moved his position, bowed deeply to the surrounding circle of people, and the servants brought in were silent, and the same.

When these movements were over, he looked at Wuzhi on the steps again.

"General Wu, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded, it's not that the time has not yet come, I am here to atone for my sins, and I am ready to bear everything before this, it is just the pain of flesh and skin, it is nothing."

His eyes were red, his voice was sincere, and his feelings were sincere.

Perhaps because of the sincerity in these words, many of the people around who were smashing stones stopped, but the scolding did not stop.

Seeing this, Wu raised his chin and gestured.

"Come in."

"Thank you, General Wu, for your permission!"

Zhou Gongzi cried with joy, rubbing his sore waist with one hand, but he couldn't care about the pain in his body, and kindly refused the housekeeper's plan to arrange someone to help, so he asked the people he brought to bring all the treasures in the carriage in.

The carriage also entered the mansion through another door.

As soon as the gate closed, the bustle outside was gone, and the crowd dispersed.

It's just the beginning.

……

In the main hall.

Hu Sanniang knew that in this situation, she couldn't handle it, so she simply gave up her main position and sat down with Shang Yuning and Wu Zhi.

Zhou Gongzi knew the sin deeply, so he didn't even sit down, he stood in the middle of the hall, and just when he was about to kneel on the ground with his knees weak, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and then he was carried up and stood up.

He looked up and saw that it was none other than Wu Zhi.

"There is gold under the man's knees, we are not heaven and earth, not the emperor, and not your parents, so you don't have to kneel."

After speaking, Wu Zhi turned around and returned to the right seat Shi Ran sat down, and said word by word: "Even if you want to forgive your sins, it is those bones that you should kneel." ”

"Thank you, General Wu!"

Zhou Gongzi bowed solemnly again and sat at the very end.

At this time, Wu Zhi gave the person next to him a look.

After Shang Yuning noticed it, he turned to look at Zhou Gongzi, his eyes were heavy, and he asked bluntly: "Before you came, we had already discussed building a mausoleum on that mountain to pay tribute to the dead. ”

"I'm in charge of all the funding! Moreover, I heard that Mr. Zhu had wanted to mine it into arable land, and I would give it another amount of money as compensation. ”

Zhou Gongzi answered first.

When the words fell, I wish the old man to put down the teacup in his hand and take a look at it.

He snorted lightly, "Do you think I look like a poor man?" ”
