"The emperor wants to ask...... Where has the son's son gone? ”

Qin Chuan smiled, stood up and walked around: "Heh, you underestimate me, the Zhou family has lost power, and there is only one Zhou Zongren left, his brain is far inferior to yours, and he has no troops to send, so he has no threat to me." What I want to know is that you have placed so much gold and silver in the mansion, why don't you think of giving it to your master Zhao Zheng all these years? ”

"Your Majesty, please let me keep a piece of my dignity before death, this secret, I want to bring it into the coffin, okay?"

On the way back to Beijing, Qin Chuan thought about this problem repeatedly, and came to the conclusion that Zhou Dewei was not 100% loyal to Southern Zhou, he was selfish, but if he was greedy for money, then he should have transferred the money as soon as possible, and it was a big strange thing that he still stayed.

On weekdays, the lord who disguises himself as simple has a role of 80 million taels of silver, what is this for?

Since he refused to say it, Qin Chuan was not reluctant.

"You have committed a capital crime, I ...... You must be executed in public, and I am sure that your son will come to see you. But I won't catch him, I won't kill him, I don't like to kill him all. ”

"Sinner, thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Zhou Dewei, who was dying, knelt down for Qin Chuan this time, which was the most real him.

Zhou Dewei's charges have been made public, and the list has been posted, a total of twenty major crimes, all of which are killed without forgiveness, and should have been executed by Ling Chi and wiped out the three clans, but Qin Chuan only killed him and released his wife.

In the bamboo forest outside the city, Zhou Zongren heard about this, and became angry and wanted to save his father.

But the dead man pulled him hard: "Son, don't lose a big one because of a small one, you are now the master's only bone and blood, and you should keep a useful body for the future." ”

"Useful? The people of my Zhou family are going to die, and the imperial court is all controlled by Qin Chuan, his next step must be to collect the local troops, what else can be made in the future?! Get out of here! ”

"No, I'll never let Childe leave."

"You're just a dog minion, I order you to get out of here! Or come with me to save my father! ”

"Childe! Listen to me! Now there are only a few of us, how can we save the master! Besides, the master is nothing now, he has no power and no soldiers, even if he is rescued, what help will it do to us?! ”

In a hurry, what the dead man said, where did it seem like a slave said, but it turned against him.

Zhou Zongren didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he only angrily cut the dead man's clothes with a knife, and a pattern suddenly appeared on his arm.

"You ......"

Zhou Zongren has seen this pattern, he has been in the barracks for ten years, and he has understood the runes and totems of various countries inside and outside the Central Plains, this pattern is not from the Central Plains, but from Yingguo!

For a moment, Zhou Zongren's brain went blank, and he looked at the person in front of him questioningly: "You? Who the hell are you?! You are not from the Central Plains, you are from Yingguo! ”

The dead man let go of his arm: "Gongzi Mingjian, I am from Yingguo, and so is the master, and so are you." ”

"This? How is this possible, wasn't my father sent by the Southern Zhou Dynasty to Daxia as a meticulous worker? That's what you told me, you...... You lied to me, everyone lied to me! ”

"Childe, there are some things I can't tell you."

"Don't you tell me that you want me to be a fool for the rest of my life?! Tell me, what nationality is my father?! ”

If Zhou Dewei is really a native of Yingguo, then he is naturally a native of Yingguo, at least half of Yingguo.

Yingguo is far overseas, and he can't fight with the Central Plains Eight Poles, his brain is chaotic, and he can't figure out who his father is.

"If you refuse to tell me, then I will kill myself now and die for you!"

I don't even know who I am, but I still have a bird to use when I live!

The dead man hurriedly grabbed him: "Childe can't!" ”

Seeing Zhou Zongren's resolute face, the dead man was willing to confess.

Zhou Dewei is a pseudonym, he was originally a nobleman of the Ying Kingdom, and from the age of thirteen, he was sent to the Central Plains, in order to plunder the Central Plains, especially the wealth of the Great Xia Kingdom, and to listen to the military and political secrets of the Great Xia Kingdom.

But on the way here, he was unfortunate to be robbed and sold as a slave to the Southern Zhou.

In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Dewei escaped from slavery with his brilliant mind, and was appreciated by the government, and then recommended it to Zhao Zheng, the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, which gave him the opportunity to soar, and it was at that time that Yingguo sent some dead soldiers to find and help Zhou Dewei.

Previously, the dead had arrived in Great Xia and could not be contacted, but after many inquiries, the same mark was found in the Southern Zhou.

Zhou Dewei is a native of Yingguo, and he offered to come to Great Xia to contribute to the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Zheng can't wait for it, this is a great thing, someone takes the initiative to risk death and contribute to the country.

However, Zhou Dewei only provided Nanzhou with a total of less than five million taels of silver, and more silver was stored in the family.

Yingguo did not ask him to transfer these, during this period, the lord of Yingguo was killed, the country was in turmoil, and under the 25-year civil strife, Zhou Dewei completely became a kite with a broken string, and the money was naturally stored in the treasury.

This is the truth of Zhou Dewei from beginning to end.

After listening to his father's story, Zhou Zongren's heart tightened for a while: "So, I have the blood of a foreign coward on my body? Scold! Hehehe...... This is really ridiculous, what I hate the most in my life is the Yingguo people, the group of dogs who killed me in the border waters of the Great Zhou, in the end, I actually became a Yingguo person. ”

The dead man knelt: "Young master, you can't do anything at this moment except wait and endure. The subordinates have already ordered someone to go to Yingguo to deliver the message, and it will take a long time to get a reply. ”

"What if they forsake us because of our father's death?"

The dead man was silent for a moment and said, "If this is the case, then we can only live incognito and die alone." Don't hide it from the young master, the family members of his subordinates are all in Yingguo, and his subordinates came to the Central Plains seven years ago, and they have never seen them again. ”

……

On the day of Zhou Dewei's beheading, all the people in the capital wanted to go to see it, but unfortunately the road was too narrow to stand so many people, and several streets were blocked.

After his death, Qin Chuan also asked people to prepare a cemetery for him, and brought wine and meat to pay tribute.

At first, Liu Zhongping prevented him from doing so, and the Son of Heaven went to pay tribute to a criminal minister who brought disaster to the country and the people, which was too speechless.

But Qin Chuan said that only by respecting your opponent can you gain more, and a person without a pattern will not be able to tolerate the world.

Liu Zhongping accompanied him and stood beside Qin Chuan.

"Your Majesty, it's windy here, go back to the palace early."

Qin Chuan let out a long sigh: "Gong Liu, I'm with him for a while, I have to think about how I came all the way." ”
