Seeing Zhou Xiaowu who was so good, Ma Shun showed a satisfied look, and he nodded slightly, as if admiring his masterpiece. After a while, he coughed lightly and said in a solemn voice: "In that case, you can deal with that young man named Meng Ran." ”

Zhou Zhixian bowed deeply and asked flatteringly, "I don't know what the adults mean?"

"I, I don't have any opinion, you investigate the cause and effect of the matter, and after the truth is revealed, it is natural to clarify what should be clarified, and it is natural that it is necessary to admit mistakes and apologize. When Ma Shun said this, he looked at Zhou Xiaowu directly.

Zhou Xiaowu immediately nodded and bowed, "Adult, the little one understands, the little one will apologize to that Meng Gongzi, if he doesn't accept it, the little one will kneel down and beg him, and he will let him accept it." ”

Ma Shun smiled slightly and praised: "You are very good, you are doing a good job, if you make meritorious achievements in the future, I will naturally promote you." However, don't reveal your identity, otherwise it won't be of much use. ”

Zhou Xiaowu immediately knelt on the ground and showed his loyalty, "The little one must be tight-lipped and die for the adult." ”

"Well, it's late at night, so I won't disturb your father and son's rest. ”

"Slow down, adult. Zhou Zhixian stopped Ma Shun, who was about to leave, and asked, "My lord, how should I deal with Captain Chu?"

"Since Chu Changcun has done something for you, he naturally has to pay the silver, don't be reluctant to give up those yellow and white things. Ma Shun admonished.

"How much silver is appropriate?" Zhou Zhixian looked worried.

"Add a thousand taels to what he wants. ”

Zhou Zhixian's face was bitter, and he wanted to argue, his lips opened slightly a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Ma Shun said: "Since there is no problem, I will leave first, and if there is anything in the future, I will contact you." ”

Zhou Xiaowu hurriedly followed Ma Shun's steps, seeing that it meant to send people outside the gate.

Ma Shun waved his hand and refused: "No need to send it, I guess your father still has something to say to you, you father and son should have a good chat." By the way, tell your father, don't bother with that Meng Gongzi tonight, arrange it tomorrow morning, I will go to the prison to visit, and then I will do what you have to do. ”

Zhou Xiaowu gave a salute very respectfully, "The small one must be conveyed, and the adult must be sent to him." ”

A figure faded away, slowly merging into the moonlight.

Zhou Xiaowu did not enter the study immediately, but stood in place, he estimated that after Ma Shun left the Zhou Mansion, he returned to the house in a hurry, looking complacent.

In the study, Zhou Zhixian stood there angrily, and when he saw his son with a smug face, he was angry and scolded: "You beast, you almost killed our whole family, and you still have a proud face? Do you really think that you can show off your power with a brand? You are just a dog of Xuan Wolf Wei, a dog that cannot see the light." ”

Zhou Xiaowu was not annoyed and angry, nor was he as cowardly as before, but smiled slightly, and said sarcastically: "If I am a dog, what are you, father?

"You bastard!"

Zhou Zhixian's right hand was raised high, and he was about to teach his son a hard lesson, but his palm did not fall on his son's face, and he was grabbed by Zhou Xiaowu in mid-air.

"You beast, you dare to disobey me?"

Zhou Xiaowu strodged his father's arm, and said in a cold tone: "It turns out that Lord Zhou, who is known as the heirloom of poetry and books, also has such unbearable words, I don't know how outsiders will judge if they know your true nature." ”

Zhou Zhixian squinted his eyes, his chubby cheeks were full of fierceness, and he scolded loudly: "You ** animal, without Lao Tzu and me, can you grow so big? Now you dare to disobey me, do you think you have lived too long?"

Zhou Xiaowu kicked over the table and chair on the side, and roared angrily: "You are not allowed to insult my mother." ”

"What can't you say? Isn't it just a **** in a green building? A cheap woman who rides thousands of people and is pressed by thousands of people, if it weren't for ......"

Before Zhou Zhixian could say the second half of the sentence, he was punched in the stomach by his son Zhou Xiaowu, and his rich life for many years made his body extremely delicate, just this fist that was not light or heavy, made his forehead bruise, and he curled up and knelt on the ground.

Zhou Xiaowu looked at the struggling figure coldly, sighed softly, and then took a few steps forward, wanting to help his father Zhou Zhixian to sit down on the chair, but was pushed away, "Don't act here coyly, you make people feel disgusting like this." ”

"Did your father feel disgusting about what he did?"

"Bastard, you're talking to me like that?"

"Or else, do you want to be filial to your father and son?"

Zhou Zhixian struggled to sit up, and looked at his son with an angry face, "Shouldn't it? You are my son, but look at it, what have you done?"

Zhou Xiaowu asked rhetorically, "What did I do?"

"On weekdays, you either walk dogs and fight cocks, or cause trouble, either go to the fence to buy drunk, or bully the people, and rob women, which thing is not something that I have fought for you? If it weren't for me, you would have died hundreds of times. ”

"Then I should really thank you, thank you for your kindness and care, thank you for your generosity, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have become a mess long ago. ”

Zhou Zhixian snorted coldly, "It's good that you know." ”

Zhou Xiaowu laughed sadly, two streams of clear water overflowed from his eyes, and he asked in a choked voice, "But why did you kill my mother?"

Zhou Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and immediately scolded: "Whose gossip did you listen to? It's just nonsense, how can I treat her badly? It's her own weak body and she doesn't enjoy the life of wealth and nobility, how can you blame me?"

"Really, my father didn't lie to me, did he?"

Zhou Zhixian sighed slightly, "Son, how could I lie to you? That's your mother, even if I don't like her, how can I kill her? If I kill her, how can I still pamper you in every way?"

Zhou Xiaowu knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed heavily to his father Zhou Zhixian, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Father, it's all the child's fault, the child misheard the rumors, so that he blamed you wrongly, and almost made a big mistake, the child is sorry for you......"

The sound of howling and crying resounded throughout the study, and it was really sad and tearful.

Zhou Zhixian worked hard to help his son, and his fat face eroded by the years was also covered with tears, "Son, my son, Dad doesn't blame you, as long as you do well in the future, Dad will be satisfied." ”

The father and son hugged each other, which was very touching.

After a long time, the two slowly separated, and the father and son, whose eyes were slightly red, smiled at each other quite unnaturally, and then divided into seats on both sides.

After sitting down, Zhou Xiaowu took the lead in speaking: "Father, it's all my fault, now that our whole family has been tied to the ship of the Imperial City Division, what will happen in the future?"

Zhou Zhixian frowned and thought for a while, and slowly said, "What else can I do, take a step at a time." ”

"But as the secret guard of the Xuan Wolf Guard, I naturally want to report some information about Jiaxing City and ask my father to teach me. Zhou Xiaowu asked respectfully.

"Tell the truth. It's just that, in the future, you have to be restrained, don't be as confused as before, if you can manage it well, our Zhou family may not have a chance to go further. Zhou Zhixian said in a deep voice.

Zhou Xiaowu nodded and said, "Thank you for your father's guidance, the child knows how to do it." ”

Zhou Zhixian stood up and ordered: "Later, you can find someone to clean up here, and everything will return to its original place." If nothing else, rest early. ”

"Father, do you want to inform the second brother at this time?" asked Zhou Xiaowu behind him.

Zhou Zhixian Huo Ran turned around and said in a stern tone: "You know about this matter, don't let him know." His task is to study hard, and in the future, he will be a scholar and a first, and he will shine on the lintel. ”

"Yes, my father is right, but I didn't think it through. Zhou Xiaowu hurriedly admitted his mistake and returned to his previous appearance.

Zhou Zhixian snorted, then stepped out of the study and walked towards the dark courtyard.

An old man and a young man have their own concerns, the corners of Zhou Xiaowu's mouth in the study are slightly upturned, revealing a weird smile, while Zhou Zhixian, who is walking in the dark, has anger in his eyes and looks like a scheming man.

......

When Zhou Xiaowu returned to the study, Ma Shun had just walked out of the Zhou Mansion, he stepped on the bluestone slab of Yongan Lane, smiled at the Zhou Mansion, and then walked out along the alley.

As soon as Ma Shun walked to the entrance of Yong'an Lane, he saw a figure standing there beside the dim road, he coughed lightly, and the man slowly paced to him.

"Brother Chu hasn't rested so late, is there anything wrong?"

Waiting for Ma Shun was naturally Chu Changcun, and he said in a bitter voice: "Did Mr. Ma guess that I would wait outside?"

Ma Shun bowed slightly, "I think Brother Chu's character will naturally look for me." ”

Chu Changcun was silent for a while, and then asked, "Judging by the situation, the Zhou family and his son have also been subdued by you, right? ”

Ma Shun smiled slightly, "Brother Chu praised it falsely, and the time is also powerful, but it is just a coincidence." ”

"Is it really just a coincidence?"

"It's really just a coincidence. I only met that Meng Gongzi once in the teahouse in the city, and as for what happened after that, it was just a coincidence. Ma Shun said leisurely.

Chu Changcun smiled bitterly, "It's a coincidence, or not, I will take care of Master Raoma in the future." ”

"Don't dare to be, Brother Chu is too polite, and support each other in the future. ”

Chu Changcun hugged his fist at Ma Shun, "My brother has suffered a lot of casualties during the day, how to deal with this incident, please ask Master Ma for advice." ”

"It's simple. Do you remember the four thieves in the teahouse? Didn't one of them die? Feed her some potions to increase her strength, and then release them to capture her again. Ma Shun's tone was quite relaxed.

"If you feed the medicine, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to control ......"

"It's okay, I'll follow you. ”

"Then there's Lord Law. ”

Chu Changcun bowed slightly, and left with a lonely expression.

Ma Shun watched the back slowly disappear into the alley, sighed slightly, and then followed.
