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

Chapter 59 Reaction of the Parties
Xiang County, Prince Pei's Mansion.

Pei Wang Liu Cong looked at the official document in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

He turned to the people close to him and said, "This Yang Qiu is really interesting. He dares to fool around with something as big as killing Wang Ji."

The staff beside him smiled and said, "Isn't this just what King Pei wants?"

Liu Cong stroked his beard, shook his head and read the official documents in his hands several times, and then sighed: "Finally, someone dares to attack Wang Fu and his minions. If Yang Qiu comes to Xiang County, I will give him a grand reception."

However, the staff advised: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

"Ok?"

Liu Cong glanced at the staff, with obvious displeasure on his face.

The staff hurriedly explained: "Silicon Lieutenant is His Majesty's most trusted close minister. He is responsible for supervising and inspecting all officials, and he is a sharp knife in His Majesty's hands."

"And the vassal king has always been tabooed by His Majesty. If the king warmly entertains Yang Shijun, someone falsely accuses the commander of Sili of having a kinship and plotting evil. Not only Yang Shijun's life will be at risk, but even the king may be implicated."

"King of Bohai learned from the past, the king must investigate."

When Liu Cong heard this, he suddenly felt cold sweat dripping down his back, and most of his joy at seeing the official documents dissipated.

He put down the official document in his hand, paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and then suddenly asked his staff: "Is it okay if I write a letter to the Luoyang clan and ask them to help Yangqiu eradicate Wang Fu, Cao Jie and other traitors?"

The staff pondered for a while, and said: "After King Bohai was exterminated, everyone in the clan was in danger, and wished to cut Wang Fu and Cao Jie into pieces. Since Yang Qiu really wanted to eradicate the eunuch, even if the king didn't write a letter, the court would The family members will also give their full support."

"On the contrary, if someone discovers that we are writing a book and report it to the Emperor, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion."

When Liu Cong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and said nothing more.

Xiang County, Zhou Mansion.

After Zhou Jing saw the content of the official documents, his behavior was almost the same as Pei Wang Liu Cong, but there were also differences.

Compared with Pei Wang Liu Cong's praise of Yang Qiu, Zhou Jing cared more about Zhou Qi's enlistment as a capital official.

Although the blood relationship between Zhou Qi's lineage and the main lineage of the Zhou family in Pei Kingdom has long been very weak, they are both from the same sect after all, so they are naturally closer emotionally than outsiders.

The most important thing is that although the Zhou family in Pei State is prominent, its development in recent years has already reached a bottleneck. Even if it can dominate a place, it is extremely difficult to take another step forward.

No matter how much money Zhou Jing spent, he couldn't buy Xiaolian's place for his clan members.

Especially during the years when Wang Ji served as Prime Minister of the Pei Kingdom, even the local influence of the Zhou family has been continuously suppressed, and any carelessness may lead to Wang Ji's liquidation.

In recent years, Zhou Jing has been walking on thin ice, and he has also criticized Wang Fu and Wang Ji.

He didn't expect that there would be a character like Zhou Qi in the side branch that he had never put in his eyes.

Although Zhou Qi's rank is very low now, he is working as an official under the Sili Xiaowei Mansion. His status and power are not trivial. As long as he can cling to the thigh of Yang Qiu, Zhou Qi may soar to the sky.

"It seems that I should find an opportunity to meet this family descendant."

The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth curved slightly, obviously in a very good mood.

In addition to King Liu Cong of Pei and Zhou Jing, the giant of Pei State, Zhou Qi's hometown Zhouji Township was also in jubilation at this time.

Most people in Zhouji Township come from the same family, and Zhou Qi's grandfather worked as a miser here for decades and did a lot of practical things for the villagers.

The villagers all appreciated the kindness of the old stingy man, and naturally they loved Zhou Qi as much as they loved him.

That's why, when Zhou Qi came back with Wang Ji's head to pay homage to the old miser, they would spontaneously block the officers and soldiers at the intersection, buying enough time for Zhou Qi to escape.

They were both happy that Zhou Qi was able to turn danger into safety, and they were also very proud that such a young talent came out of the village.

Compared with the above-mentioned people who were happy and excited, Lieutenant Pei Guo was a little restless at this time.

Zhou Qi was definitely not an official under the command of Sili Xiaowei before. He was a proper official killer, and even the wanted document was issued by Lieutenant Pei Guo.

In order to capture Zhou Qi, he even seized the house and fields of the Zhou family, and even Zhou Gu, the servant of the Zhou family, was imprisoned and tortured.

If Zhou Gu hadn't done anything, and the lieutenant was worried that after he was beaten to death, by the time Lieutenant Sili arrived in Xiangxian County without even a tongue, Zhou Gu would have been thrown into a mass grave long ago.

Moreover, when the officers and soldiers seized the land of the Zhou family, the land that Zhou Qi's grandfather had leased to Zhou Cheng at a very low price was also required to take it back.

Zhou Cheng tried his best to resist, but he was beaten by many officers and soldiers.

If it wasn't for the critical moment, under the instigation of the knight-errants, the people of Zhouji Township came out to protect him one after another, Zhou Cheng might have been beaten to death.

The reason why Lieutenant Liu was so aggressive was because he believed that Zhou Qi had committed such a catastrophic disaster. Even if he was not caught by the government and his head was exposed to the public, he would flee far away and hide his name.

He was so eager to handle the case because he wanted to make up for it before Yang Qiu arrived in Xiangxian County and let the other party know how hard he worked to catch the thief.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi, who seemed to have no chance of making a comeback, would become an official under Sili Xiaowei in the blink of an eye.

How could Lieutenant Pei Guo accept this change?
Although he is also a two thousand stone official, he is also a little afraid of this little Zuoshi who can monitor hundreds of officials.

In annoyance, Lieutenant Liu hurriedly called his confidants and ordered: "Hurry up and send someone with generous gifts to Zhou Cheng's home in Zhouji Township to make amends. Remember to bring a doctor with you."

"You must go to the prison yourself, bring the domestic slave of Zhou Qi's house to the clean and spacious guest room of the Lieutenant's Mansion, treat him with the best medicine, and choose two beautiful maids in the mansion by the way. , let them take care of you.”

"You have to remind those two female slaves to take good care of Zhou Gu and meet all their requirements."

"Remember, even if you ask them to sleep with you, you must accept it."

"Even if the other party doesn't make this request, let them find ways to actively seduce her. They must satisfy Zhou Gu!"

Lieutenant Liu's move was also out of helplessness.

He had always followed Wang Ji's lead and done many bad things with him.

If Zhou Qi, the official of the Sili Xiaowei Mansion, was angered, even if Zhou Qi did not deliberately frame him, just a step-by-step detailed investigation would be enough for Lieutenant Liu to lose his current official position, and he might even be punished.

Zhou Qi, who was hurrying back, didn't know that before he led his troops back to Xiangxian County, just the official document refuting the rumors had already caused turmoil in the entire Xiangxian County.

Senior officials like Lieutenant Liu were also restless because of this.
