Chapter 218: Jining Mansion 5

Xiong Yuanwai followed Steward Shi to the door of the living room, and saw that the prefect Zhou was having lunch and was feasting a few prefects, Steward Shi did not dare to bring Xiong Yuanwai into the hall, and walked into the hall alone and walked behind Zhou Daren to whisper a few words to him, and Zhou Yuan's face was cold and immediately smiled: "Everyone, drink freely, I will deal with some small things at home, and I will come immediately." Several magistrates said that the adults should go and get busy, and we will drink by ourselves, and they all took their glasses and drank them.

Governor Zhou and Steward Shi walked out of the living room and greeted Xiong Yuanwai, and Governor Zhou said, "Follow me to the study." After speaking, he walked forward, the two of them followed, and after a while, he walked into the study, and Zhou Zhifu walked to the desk and sat down and said, "Xiong Yuan, please sit down and talk." Xiong Yuanwai sat down unceremoniously, and said his thoughts again when he saw Yunxiang County and Su Zhi County rushing north with a burden on his back in Anpingdu. Governor Zhou thought for a while and said: "If you want to say that he went to sue the emperor, this Su Jinwen is capable, this thing that doesn't know life or death, Li Ge Lao raised his noble hand and let him go, he still doesn't know each other, and I would have put him in prison as soon as possible." Governor Zhou thought for a while and said, "Now we can't trouble Elder Li Ge anymore, then he will say that we are all incompetent." ’

After Zhou Zhifu finished speaking, he waved to Steward Shi and said, "You come here with your ears." Steward Shi stepped forward and put his ear to Lord Zhou's mouth, and Governor Zhou said in the butler's ear: "You go find a few underworld people to dispose of him, do it cleanly, give your cousin fifty taels of silver as a hard fee, and tell him to go back and don't talk nonsense." Steward Shi said: "Okay, don't worry, my lord, I promise to do it neatly." After speaking, Master Zhou got up and walked out of the study and walked towards the living room.

Steward Shi and Xiong Yuanwai also followed out of the study and closed the door again, and the two walked towards the side courtyard. Steward Shi said as he walked: "Cousin. My lord told me to give you fifty taels of silver. Don't mention the matter in front of anyone when you go back, lest it cause trouble. Xiong Yuanwai secretly said: "I told him that he sent me away with fifty taels of silver for such an important information, am I a person who lacks silver, I can't ask for this silver, I want Lord Zhou to owe me a favor." After Steward Shi finished speaking, he saw that Xiong Yuanwai did not respond, so he said: "Cousin, did you hear what I just said clearly?" Xiong Yuanwai said: "Cousin, of course I heard it." How can I ask for Lord Zhou's silver, I will leave. After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the side door, and Steward Shi said, "Cousin, you go slowly, and I will fetch you the silver." ’

Xiong Yuan walked outside and said, "I said I wouldn't ask for silver, so don't bother." After speaking, he walked out of the side door, and Steward Shi had no choice but to let him go. Steward Shi walked to the kitchen and ate a little bit and hurriedly left the mansion, he walked through a street and turned a few alleys to the door of a small family, walked up and knocked on the door a few times. After a while, a middle-aged man of medium stature opened the door, and when he saw that it was Steward Shi, he immediately politely invited him in. The two came to the hall and sat down, and a middle-aged woman brought tea. Then he went to the hospital. The middle-aged man said: "The big housekeeper is here, and there must be business again." Steward Shi said: "Brother Tang is right, you'd better call two more helpers, you must be foolproof." ’

This middle-aged man's surname is Tang Zhaoye, he is a killer, and he is a sugar gourd seller on the surface, so people give him a nickname and call him Sugar Gourd, and Sugar Gourd heard that he is still looking for a helper, and asked: 'Is this person's martial arts very high?' Steward Shi said: "Martial arts are not good, but he is the magistrate of Yunxiang County, I am afraid that you will not be able to cope with him with helpers." So he told Su Jinwen where he was going, and finally said: "You know Su Zhixian, as long as you do it cleanly, the silver is three times as much as before." Sugar Gourd smiled and said, "Of course you know, you can rest assured that the big butler will wait to count the silver and give it to me." Steward Shi said: "Friends belong to friends, business belongs to business, if you break the rules, you will pay for the consequences, it is best to leave as much as possible." After Steward Shi finished speaking, he took his leave and left.

Sugar gourd hurriedly packed up and got ready, he walked out of the house and went to find two helpers, one named Li San and the other called Yan Wu, and all three of them brought knives and chased them down.

Besides, Su Jinwen, the county magistrate, went to Beijing to sue the emperor in a fit of anger, and the first day on the road was very fast, and in the evening he rushed to Wenshang County, stayed overnight and continued to hurry the next day, but his legs were not so obedient, and he walked much slower, but he insisted on moving forward in order to redress his grievances. At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Jinwen walked into a forest, walked for a while and felt too tired, so he walked to the shade of a big tree to rest, wiped a handful, took out a folding fan and shook it, and shook it a few times to feel much more comfortable.

Su Jinwen was shaking the folding fan and enjoying the coolness of the breeze, when he suddenly heard someone laughing, he looked up and was startled, only to see two young men holding a single knife looking at him and smiling proudly. He secretly said, 'Oh my God, is it possible that I have been robbed today, and the big deal is that all the money will be given to you.' Thinking of this, Su Jinwen stood up and said, "Why are you two laughing at me?" Li San smiled and said, "I laugh at you for being so stupid with a dignified county order." Su Jinwen said: "Your Excellency recognized the wrong person, do you think I look like a county magistrate?"

Yan Wudao: 'Of course you don't look like it now, because you are now dismissed. Su Jinwen saw that people were coming at him, and it seemed that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "Since you know that I have made a county order, why do you want to call me stupid?" Li Sandao: "You know that the official is crushing people to death, and you still have to go against the prefect, and if you lose the official and don't know your mistake, you still have to sue, isn't it looking for death, I know that you are a good official, but you are too stupid, you go to see the king of Hades, and you can't blame our brothers." Su Jinwen said: "I just don't blame you, God will blame you." Li San said: "God doesn't care about these idle things. ’

Yan Wudao: 'Don't talk nonsense with him, take your life.' After speaking, he raised the knife and slashed at Su Jinwen's neck, Su Jinwen fell back in fright, and then looked at Yan Wudao raised but did not move, his eyes swept behind him and saw a girl rushing over, pulling out a short sword from Yan Wu's back, Yan Wu then fell forward, and the knife he was holding also slashed down, at this time, a stone flew over from the horizontal and hit the knife, and the single knife flew to the side, Su Jinwen was frightened and crawled.

The people who came were Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan, when they arrived, they saw Yan Wu raising his knife to kill Su Jinwen, Hao Yan hurriedly took out a short sword and threw it at Yan Wu, followed by Fei Fei stupidly, Tong Yunfei saw the knife and slashed towards Su Jinwen, and hurriedly kicked out a small stone and hit Yan Wudao, and then came to him. Li San was shocked when he saw this sudden change, and hurriedly swung his knife at Su Jinwen, Hao Yan shook his body to the beginning of the short sword in front of him, and Li San's arm with the knife was cut off, and even the knife and arm fell to the ground. Tong Yunfei flicked his fan and clicked on Li San's acupoint, and asked, "Who are you, why do you want to kill people, and who sent you?" Li San's face was full of pain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You kill me, I won't say it." As soon as he finished speaking, a dart hit Li San's choked throat, and the wounds of the dart suddenly turned black, looking like a poisonous dart. (To be continued......)
