At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 17 Unexpected News
Zhou Qi sent everyone back home. Although it was already late at night, he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Pei Guoxiang Wang Ji is not easy to kill.

With Zhou Qi's family property, there is no way to buy high-quality weapons, let alone armor and crossbows. These are all prohibited items.

Don't say that Zhou Qi has no money, even if he has money, he can't buy these things.

Of course, those hunting bows with short range and weak penetrating power that can only hunt small animals can indeed be obtained, but these things are too lethal for armored county soldiers.

"Fortunately, today's society bans armor and soldiers. Although armor is not available, folk weapons are plentiful. Not to mention the common knives and swords, even long weapons are not difficult to obtain, and the price is barely enough. able to bear it."

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi already had concerns in his mind.

He plans to sell off his family property tomorrow and then use the money to buy weapons, at least one weapon for each of the ten people who are preparing to do something big together.

But soon, Zhou Qi rubbed his brow in annoyance.

It is indeed not difficult to purchase ordinary weapons, but the government's control over sophisticated weapons is also very strict, making it difficult for ordinary people to buy without access.

The practical effects of ordinary weapons and sophisticated weapons are very different. The former may break after a short time on the battlefield, but the latter can greatly improve the efficiency of killing enemies for its owner.

"Ayu, have you ever rested?"

At this moment, Zhou Qi suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice, immediately got up and opened the door, and asked in surprise, "It's getting late, why hasn't brother slept yet?"

Standing at the door was Shi Huan from Xiao County. He did not leave after attending the funeral, but stayed at Zhou's house temporarily.

"Ayu wants to kill Wang Ji?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Huan's next words made Zhou Qi's heart skip a few beats and his pupils contracted sharply.

Fortunately, he has a strong self-control ability, and there has been no change on his face. Instead, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did you say that, brother?"

Shi Huan was also not polite, went straight into the house, found a futon and knelt down on it, and said to himself: "As far as I know, after Xiang Bode's mother was buried today, Ayu gave a banquet to stay in the village. Rangers and digital youths."

"Xiang Bode's mother has just died, and the family is not suitable for a banquet. With Ayu's intelligence, he will not know it, and with Xiang Bode's filial piety, he will not easily agree. However, it happened in the end, which shows that there must be something wrong. "

Speaking of this, Shi Huan stared at Zhou Qi, and continued: "And you and Zhou Gu disappeared suddenly at night, and didn't return quietly until midnight. Who is the plotter?"

Faced with Shi Huan's pressing step by step, Zhou Qi did not panic, but sighed: "Yu Gong, although the water donation has been temporarily delayed due to the family ancestors, it has not been terminated. The common people cannot bear the exorbitant donation." , I should inherit the legacy of my ancestors and plead for the people. Privately, my ancestors died because of Zhou Qi. As a son, how can I rest without avenging this revenge?"

"Since your family and I have been friends for generations, I hope that my brother can stay out of the matter and pretend that he knows nothing."

Shi Huan's face darkened and he shouted: "What if I insist on going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report?"

As Shi Huan's words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull and solemn. Zhou Qi stared at Shi Huan's expressionless face, suddenly smiled and said: "Brother, if you really want to report, you won't take the initiative to expose it." This matter."

Hearing this, Shi Huan slowly showed a smile on his face, and then sighed: "Ayu is quick in thinking and observes people's subtleties. I admire him."

Immediately afterwards, Shi Huan suddenly said solemnly: "Assaulting and killing the Prime Minister is not a trivial matter, both in terms of difficulty and impact. As a brother, I still have to advise Ayu. This matter should be considered twice."

Zhou Qi said seriously: "I have made up my mind, brother, don't try to persuade me any more!"

Shi Huan stared at Zhou Qi, and said: "Brother, I can tell Ayu a secret news, that is, Yang Qiu, the commander of the Sili school, participated in the court and played a lot of illegal things by the ten permanent servants. Fu and his clan disrupted the law."

"Just ten days ago, Lord Yang went out of Beijing according to the imperial edict, and went straight to Pei Kingdom to scout out lawbreakers. Along the way, Wang Fu's family's minions were all arrested, and all those who resisted were killed."

"Looking at the road, Yang Shijun will definitely reach Peiguo in less than seven days."

"Wang Ji is the adopted son of the great eunuch Wang Fu, and he can be called the number one minion under his command. Yang Shijun is going on this trip with great momentum, and he will definitely investigate all Wang Ji's violations of the law."

"Ayu only needs to wait quietly for a few more days. When Yang Shijun arrives, he will lead the villagers to appeal to Wang Ji, and he will be able to use Yang Shijun's hands to eradicate Wang Ji. Why not do it?"

Zhou Qi was silent when he heard the words.

He read through the history books and naturally knew that Wang Ji would be tortured to death by the Yang Ball, but Wang Qi did not know the specific time period when this incident occurred.However, after learning that Yang Qiu served as the captain of Sili, Zhou Qi speculated that Wang Ji was not far from death.

He didn't expect Yang Qiu to move so quickly. Not long after he took the post of Sili Captain, he started attacking Wang Fu and his minions.

Just as Shi Huan said, Zhou Qi could do nothing until Yang Qiu arrived and captured Zhou Ji.

If this is true, Zhou Qi may be able to survive peacefully in this troubled world, but he will also lose an opportunity to rise quickly.

These days, Zhou Qi thought a lot about keeping a filial piety for his grandfather, but he still couldn't figure out why his grandfather died outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Even if you care about the common people, even if you can't understand Wang Ji's actions, you can still think of many ways to solve the problem, there is no need to use the most extreme way.

Until just now, when Zhou Qi learned that Yang Qiu had been ordered to leave the capital ten days ago, and began to investigate Wang Fu's clan and minions, and recalled the conversation between his grandfather and himself that day, he vaguely understood the reason behind it.

The Grand Duke once asked Zhou Qi about his ambitions, and Xiang Hong recited the poem he composed casually. The Grand Duke was silent for a long time and said: "Forget it, since you have great ambitions, I will give you a helping hand!"

Zhou Qi took a deep breath and murmured in his heart: "Father, is this the road you paved for me to reach the sky?"

Zhou Qi felt blocked in his heart, and his eye sockets were moist. Seeing this, Shi Huan hurriedly asked, "Ayu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Qi turned around and wiped his eyes, then forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that I think of my ancestors, and I feel a little sad."

Afterwards, Zhou Qi said firmly: "I have made up my mind, brother, don't try to persuade me anymore. Although Yang Shijun can deal with Wang Ji, the hatred of our ancestors is irreconcilable, and it is difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart without killing the enemy with my hands." .”

Shi Huan was silent for a long time when he heard the words, but in the end he didn't speak any more words of persuasion.
