The first step in Li Yifu's plan to seize the Zhou family's money was to cut off his wings. Although Zhou Jinghai was already frail, the sick tiger was still called a tiger. The Zhou family has established various relationships over the years. Once Zhou Jinghai is alerted, the power of a counter-attack cannot be underestimated.
Li Yifu must first get rid of Zhou Jinghai's right-hand man Lin Yun and his two sons. Once these three people are eliminated, the only person in the Zhou family who can speak is Zhang Youfeng, the traitor. The second step of the plan is of course to blockade Zhou Jinghai. No one can come into contact with him, so he cannot get any external information or give any instructions, and he becomes completely deaf, blind and mute. hey-hey! A deaf and blind tiger, what are you afraid of?
The third step, of course, is to wait for Zhou Jinghai to die. If you are still dragging your feet, then you might as well use some tricks in the end...
But to publicly get rid of Lin Yun and his son, there must be a reason. Unfounded accusations can't scare people. After all, Lishi County is not our own, so our reputation to the outside world can't be too bad, and our appearance can't be too ugly.
Just when I was looking for a reason, the reason came.
The story also talks about the group of workers who caused trouble in the Li family's mine. They went up to the mountain to become bandits and then got into a fight with the Li family. Robbery was carried out exclusively for the Li family's caravans, and only tolls were charged for other families' caravans and goods. All the Li family's items were towed away. If they couldn't be moved away, they were burned on the spot.
At the beginning of this month, Lin Dongping and a few guys encountered this group of miners and bandits on the road with the purchased goods. Lin Dongping has been responsible for the external affairs of the Zhou family in the past few years. He has seen a lot of different religions and is quite experienced in dealing with people. I paid the fare according to the rules. And seeing that these so-called bandits were actually a group of poorly clothed miners, for the convenience of the future, they gave them a few extra coins and exchanged polite greetings, which was regarded as a good relationship.
I didn't think much about it after I came back, but I didn't know that one of the few guys I brought with me included Zhang Youfeng's son Zhang Bao.
Li Yifu was overjoyed when he got the news. What a godsend. Zhang Bao was asked to go to the county to report secretly, saying that Lin Dongping was suspected of being a bandit and was to be taken to the county for investigation.
In this way, Lin Dongping was taken to the county jail for no apparent reason. That wasn't the end of it. Lin Yun and Lin Donghai were also summoned by the county immediately. There was no news about the two after they entered.
Then Li Yifu also asked people to spread rumors in the county, saying that these bandits were not ordinary people, but red bandits who had been causing trouble recently. Originally, Fuyuan Company and Lin Yun and his son had many friends who wanted to explore and intercede. When they heard that it was related to the red bandits, they all quickly stopped and did not dare to say anything. These days, anyone who has anything to do with the Red Bandits will have their families destroyed. Who dares to defend them? Who can bear to have the hat of a Red Bandit comrade smashed off?
After Zhou Jinghai got the news, he became anxious. He forced himself to stay in bed for many days due to the cold, and prepared a heavy gift to go to the county magistrate to understand the situation and intercede for Lin Yun. Originally, the relationship between the Zhou family and the county magistrate was good. After all, the valuable filial piety every year would have to be fed even to a beast.
But after meeting the county magistrate, Zhou Jinghai knew that he was blind and that this beast was a white-eyed wolf. He didn't say anything about the case involving the red bandits. The person cannot be released until the provincial government sends someone to investigate.
At that time, Zhou Jinghai didn't know that this was a "drag" tactic. He became vigilant and was thinking about who the enemy would be, when the words of the white-eyed wolf county magistrate finally defeated him.
"I said, Boss Zhou, do you still have time to worry about this? There is news about the fact that you entrusted the county to help you find your son through ** channels. Hey! You are so sick now, I am hesitant whether I should treat you Say it……"
When Zhou Jinghai walked out of the county magistrate's house in a daze, he felt that the sky was blindingly white, and even the road under his feet was white. The intermittent voice of the county magistrate was still echoing in his head, "...Served as a soldier in Henan... He died in battle in July... His body..."
"Awen is dead! My beloved son is dead!" It felt like the sky was falling... Zhou Jinghai spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the sky on the street...
When Zhou Jinghai woke up again, he was already sleeping on his bed. The room was dark and the doors and windows were closed. I called weakly several times, but no one answered. Now his mind has sobered up. Knowing that someone was murdering him, he first arrested Lin Yun and his son, and then took advantage of his illness to destroy himself physically and mentally. hey-hey! What a good plan.
In the past two years, I have been focused on finding my son, and I have lost the vigilance I should have.
Who is the enemy?
County Magistrate White Eye Wolf must be involved, but he is not the mastermind. Who has such courage and strength? There is only one answer - Li Yifu, that's him. Have strength, courage, and motivation. I heard that his family's mine was in trouble, and Dashun Lai Company was almost at a loss to untie the pot.
Zhou Jinghai is indeed a veteran in shopping malls, and he thought things through in an instant. So there is also a mole in the family. It can only be Zhang Youfeng. The Lin family has all been imprisoned, and now he is the only one who has the ability to drive away his servants. This is not only about making money, but also about killing people.
Then the story of Awen's death in the battle should not be taken seriously. It was still his fault that Si'er was so eager that he easily fell into their trap.
To survive, one must survive. Don't eat the food they bring (If you think too much, they won't give you food at all.)
water? Yes, water can keep you alive.
Zhou Jinghai struggled to look around and found that the basin of water he had used to wash his face before leaving was still on the ground. It seemed that his servant Huang Ma had been ordered out by the thief Zhang Youfeng before she had time to clean up. The desire to survive and the judgment that his son was still alive gave Zhou Jinghai a strength in his weak body, and he hid the basin of water under the bed with great difficulty. Then I saw the plate of snacks that was previously on the bedside table and hid it under the bed...
Relying on a basin of wash water and a dozen snacks, Zhou Jinghai survived for ten days, and then he couldn't stand it anymore and finally passed out. But the strong desire to survive supported him and he refused to take his last breath - he wanted to gamble his life with God.
Just when Li Yifu couldn't stand it anymore and was about to order Zhang Youfeng to use small tricks, Zhou Wen came back...
Through Zhang Youfeng's confession, Zhou Wen learned that his cousin Wang Chenghao, who was sent to visit by his uncle, was also imprisoned. No wonder I haven't heard from him for more than a week.
Through oral confession and his own inference, Zhou Wen made everything clear. All the excitement, distress, anger, hatred and other emotions I felt after seeing my father in the morning have calmed down. Now I feel calm.
Looking at his red-eyed and angry team members, Zhou Wen said softly and without a trace of emotion: "Brothers have all seen and heard it. This is called 'people who are good will be bullied, and horses who are good will be ridiculed'" . I want to run Lishi County as our base camp. In a year or two, those relatives in Ertang Village, Henan Province will be brought to live here. From now on, we can only have the final say in Lishi County. There is a voice. Starting tonight, let’s establish our authority first. These beasts who seek my family’s property and harm my relatives are the best targets to establish our authority.”
