Lu Tongjuan Mansion.
Zhang Xuezheng looked at the setting sun in the sky with excitement: "Dead! Dead!"
"At this time, if he hasn't entered the city yet, he must be dead!"
From the room in front of him, a woman's hoarse and weak voice came out: "Hmph! Zaisan is a good murderer at the fourth level and the first level, but it is not easy to kill a scholar who has entered the country!"
"When the time comes, please, sir, keep your promise and let us out!"
Zhang Xuezheng looked at the small window of the room with a fierce look on his face. Murder was the murder of a county chief. If anyone knew, what kind of literary name would he have?
"Don't worry, I promised you that I'll let you go when the matter is done. I'm a scholar and I can't keep my word!" Zhang Xuezheng raised the dagger at the door and was about to enter.
He felt inexplicably uneasy, thinking that if Zhou Dagu was not completely dead, he would still use these damn prisoners.
He put away the blade: "Just wait here, I'll go ask your Excellency for instructions first!"
The yard is quiet.
The people in the room could not feel the presence of anyone outside the room, so they breathed a sigh of relief: "Every one of these dog officials is good. If you don't come to save me again, I will die!"
Zhang Xuezheng walked through the backyard and came to the front hall. He saw Judge Lu Tong wearing an ordinary brocade robe. He was a regular customer of Liushui Lane. How could he not know what they, the literati, were doing after taking off their official robes and putting on brocade robes?
He was unconvinced, pretending to be happy on his face, and was about to enter the inner hall.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Sir!"
Lu Tongpan was a little unhappy and closed his eyes: "Come in!"
"Sir, there are students entering the city today!"
Zhao Sihu stepped forward in shock: "Are you sure, where is this student from?"
Standing in front of him was a young man. The young man was wearing the soap robe of a city guard. He was the young man who had just closed the city gate and was going to listen to the music.
He nodded sincerely: "I heard clearly, he is from Cai County. Old Wangtou said, he is Zhou Mingzhou!"
Lu Tongpan took a deep breath: "What does he look like?"
"It was too dark, so I couldn't see clearly, but the girl next to him looked very similar to him, and she was very beautiful!"
The young man did not dare to hide it: "They said they met bandits on the way here. Zhou Dagu was seriously injured. He had less air in and more air out. It looked like he was about to die! There were two people in the carriage behind him, and they were also stained with a lot of blood. , it looks like he was seriously injured."
Zhao Sihu nodded: "He does have a girl!"
Lu Tongpuan opened his eyes: "Step back and go to the concierge to receive the reward!"
The defenders retreated, and the joy disappeared from their faces.
Zhao Sihu walked around the room and said, "Sir, what should we do? We can't get through this situation with the Left Prime Minister!"
Lu Tongpian opened his eyes: "This has nothing to do with you and me. It is the business of that boy Zhang Xuezheng. He has disappointed the left prime minister time and time again. The left prime minister blamed him and pushed him forward! When you are a subordinate, you must have a replacement. The awareness of the boss to share the worries!”
"The urgent need to delay now is to deal with Zhou Dagu as soon as possible. The time ordered by Prime Minister Zuo is coming soon. You and I have already let him down with regard to collecting grain!"
"If even a little scholar can't solve it, I'm afraid you and I will have to move our butts off this chair!"
Zhao Sihu walked in and whispered: "Sir, we can do this..."
Tongfanfu alley.
The young city guard weighed the silver reward: "Lu Tongpan is very generous. With this money, I will go to the second floor today to take a look!"
He had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. At the entrance of the alley, a knife was held to his neck.
"Do you want silver or a knife?"
The young man looked up at the silver in front of him: "I want silver!"
"You really saw Zhou Dagu!"
"Absolutely true!"
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Waichengfang, Duojia Lane, the third house behind the pine tree!"
"Do not lie to me!"
"How dare I! Warrior!"
"Did you see with your own eyes that Zhou Dagu was about to die?"
"It's more real than gold. If you don't believe it, go to Duojia Alley and ask. When Lao Wang takes Zhou Dagu back, he will definitely hire a doctor for him. If there is a slum, who has a patient? The old ladies at the entrance of the alley will definitely know !”
"Don't look back! Let's go! Get out and don't talk nonsense!"
The money fell into the hands of the young man. How could he dare to turn around and leave the alley as if running away.
In the shadow of the alley, Zhang Xuezheng gasped: "Duojia Alley?"
"Da Gu can't survive this week. If he survives, I will inevitably have to go to prison tomorrow. None of these dog officials follow the rules!"
Zhang Xuezheng put the knife in his arms, put his hands together, and walked towards the edge of the city.
Duojia Lane, Wang Shoucheng's brother's home.
The carriage was parked in the yard.
Lao Wang was busy inside and outside.
Zhou Dagu leaned on the makeshift bed in the lobby and called: "Uncle Wang, you should also take a rest. You will be busy this night!"
"I'll pour out this little bit of medicine dregs before we talk. We have a saying here that you can't leave this medicine dregs at home. It's unlucky. You have to pour it into the pool and let the water from the moat take away the disease!"
The old Wangtou kept smiling. In his heart, he was bringing back a great nobleman: "Don't worry, Zhou Mingzhou. When you come to our house, don't be restrained. Just call me uncle and you'll be done with me! You are a distinguished guest. Here you are." It’s my blessing!”
"I will tell my brothers in the government office tomorrow to go out and have a look and find those dead thieves who hurt you!"
Zhou Dagu shook his head: "Don't bother, they are just passing thieves, you can't find them if you look for them!"
Zhou Youran walked out of the room, holding five taels of silver in his hand: "Uncle, I have to trouble you for this period of time. We come from a small place and don't know the rent of Qingxue Mansion. You can keep this money first. It's not enough." , you say it again!”
"Girl, what are you doing? You're not slapping me in the face! If you can come to our house, we are a family. If you don't have money, you can stay away!"
Zhou Dagu leaned on Wang An's shoulder: "Uncle, keep it. I didn't give the doctor the money just now. You said that we are a family and just treat it like a kid. If you don't want it, I'll leave now!"
Lao Wangtou was a little embarrassed. He had just spent half a month's salary saved on medicine. The life he saved was really difficult: "It won't use so much!"
"What's more is the room fee. You know our Confucian rules and you can't owe anything to others, otherwise it will easily mess up your cultivation!"
"Then I'll keep it!" In this world, it's a big sin to mess with people's cultivation: "You rest and stay here for now, I'll come see you tomorrow!"
Lao Wangtou left the small courtyard and closed the door.
Zhou Dagu glanced at Zhou Youran: "Go back to sleep!"
Zhou Youran nodded and returned to the west wing.
Wang An stepped forward and closed the main door.
Zhou Dagu stood up from the bed, not like a patient at all.
Xu Dian leaned behind the door: "Brother Gu, we have nothing but money, why do we live in this place? Didn't Magistrate Guo find a yard for you!"
Zhou Dagu shook his head: "I believe County Magistrate Guo, but I'm not familiar with the people behind him!"
He leaned against the wall and blew out the candle.
The three of them leaned together.
Zhou Dagu looked out of the small window.
Wang An was surprised and said: "Brother Gu, you can't be suspicious, old Uncle Wang!"
"I suspect everyone in Qingxue Mansion except him." Zhou Dagu felt aggrieved, but he couldn't express it clearly.
He had no way of telling these two people that the person he really offended was not in Xiangzhou, but in the high hall of Kyoto.
That person was the prime minister who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
If he could send someone to attack him, he must have known what really happened on the Two Realms Mountains, but he was worried about his reputation and could not directly attack him.
But the mortal feud between the two has been decided.
Zhou Dagu didn't dare to relax. After all, the only way to stop the revenge of killing his son and his father was death!
"We are entering the city today. We are afraid that spies have come to report us already. If the master knew that we were not dead and were seriously injured, how could he be able to endure it!"
"After tomorrow, I will go to the government school to report. Once registered, it will be difficult to carry out assassinations!"
"They want to take action, and tonight is the best time!"
Xu Dian touched the big knife he took from Zaisan behind him: "Brother Gu, wouldn't it be easier for us to do it tonight if we are outside the city?"
Zhou Dagu felt helpless: "It's easier for them to kill us outside the city!"
"They can't do anything here, and they don't dare to send people who don't know the truth to kill people in the city. If they want to do it, they can only use their own people!"
Xu Dian pressed his head and felt like something terrible was about to grow out of his head!
"The most important thing!" Zhou Dagu said in a low voice.
The two of them focused their eyes on Zhou Dagu, looking forward to his next superb strategy.
In their hearts, Zhou Dagu is the smartest person in the world.
"There are defenders in the city. They can't be defeated, but we can still call out!"
