Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 328 Shameless and Invincible
A look of panic flashed on Zhou Da's face. He naturally knew these two people. Later, in order to prevent them from reporting on the Zhou family, he even wanted to teach them a lesson, but the owner of the family didn't let him intervene, so he simply ignored them.Could it be that there was a mistake in this matter, and the Patriarch forgot to deal with it?

After saluting, Sun Da and Sun Er looked at Zhou Ziqing on the side, with hesitation and indignation in their expressions, which were extremely complicated.

Baili Junyi looked at Zhou Ziqing: "Patriarch Zhou, you don't know these two people, do you? We met together."

Zhou Ziqing lowered his eyes slightly: "Reporting to Prince Yi, these two grassroots still have some impressions. They seem to be the two farmers who were injured by the assassins at the banquet in the Qilin Garden back then by the officers and soldiers."

Baili Junyi chuckled: "Patriarch Zhou has a good memory, yes, the two of them were indeed injured by officers and soldiers in Qilin Garden, but it was not because they were misunderstood as assassins, nor were they farmers who delivered food. Ordinary people persecuted by the Zhou family!"

Zhou Ziqing raised his eyelids slightly, and frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "What the king of Yijun is saying, the grass people can't understand, my Zhou family has always been kind, and there are very few slaves who oppress the people. These two people look like ordinary common people, what place is worthy of my Zhou family's covetousness?"

Baili Junyi looked indifferent, and his tone became more and more cold: "The reason why this king dares to attack you is naturally because he has the evidence of the Zhou family's crimes. If you refuse to admit it now, don't do it later..."

Baili Jinchuan, who was sitting on the presiding judge's seat, spoke with some impatience in his tone: "Fifth brother, what mistake did the Zhou family make? Just say what you want. If there is really a problem, we will interrogate it today. If there is no problem, then don't delay."

Baili Junyi paused, and then turned his head as if nothing had happened: "Since Brother Erhuang is so anxious, let Sun Da and Sun Er talk about it, after all, they are the ones who suffer."

It was Sun Da who spoke: "Returning to the two princes, the Caomin family has been an honest farmer for generations. Originally, there were five acres of land left by the parents. Although the location is close to the hills and the land is not fertile, my brother and I also Can make ends meet, who knows that one day Zhou Qing, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, brought a Taoist priest to see some tombs, and finally fell in love with the fields of the Caomin family. The Caomin thought of the benevolence of the Zhou family, so it’s okay to fancy our land , give some money, we can rent or sell some land, who knows that the Zhou family not only does not give money, but has the purpose of killing people and seizing the land!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziqing said rather amusedly: "My Zhou family has hundreds of mu of fertile land, why would I value your mere land?"

Baili Junyi sat on the side, motionless: "Why should Patriarch Zhou be impatient, it's not too late to refute after listening to Sun Da."

Sun Da continued to say with injustice: "My brother Sun Er and I lived in poverty, and because we haven't married yet, we temporarily lived in the same courtyard. That night, Cao Min woke up in the middle of the night and found that the house was set on fire, and my brother His whole body was weak, and he couldn't wake up no matter what, but fortunately Cao Min still had some strength, so he crawled out with him on his back, and till now Cao Min still has burn marks on his arms."

"What does a big fire mean?" Zhou Ziqing disagreed.

"A big fire really can't explain anything, but accidents one after another, we wanted to discuss with the Zhou family what to do about the land, but that Zhou Qing pretended to discuss with us, tricked us to the mountain, and then descended from the top of the mountain. The boulders rolled down, and many traps were set along the road. If it weren’t for our brother’s fate, we would have confessed to being on the mountain long ago. My brother’s leg was broken, and he is still limping when he walks.”

Zhou Ziqing's face was extraordinarily innocent: "I heard about the boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain, but the boulder was as tall as two people, and there was more than one piece. It took so much effort to pry them. , for the purpose of murdering you two ordinary people, is this too much effort?"

Sun Da looked at Zhou Ziqing angrily: "Things that don't take much effort have never happened. For example, when the people and the disaster victims quarreled last time, didn't many people's wells be poisoned? The well has also been poisoned, and it's still very poisonous!"

Zhou Ziqing's eyes flashed sharply.

Baili Junyi has been paying attention to his expression, seeing the change in his expression, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Patriarch Zhou, how do you explain this matter?"

Zhou Ziqing's expression quickly returned to normal, and there was no change in his expression when he heard these words:
"Master Zhou has been secretly investigating the matter of poisoning in the well water. Our Zhou family also sent people to visit secretly, hoping to catch the culprit and restore Zhou City to a clean place. But until now, there has been no clue. But Then Sun Da insisted that the Zhou family poisoned him with the intention of murdering him... This is something that can't be found out even after a lot of effort, and a commoner actually knows the truth, so if there is no one to point out behind this, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable."

Hearing the meaning of Zhou Ziqing's words, Baili Junyi couldn't help asking: "Patriarch Zhou is implying that this king secretly ordered Sun Da and Sun Er to frame you?"

"Caomin don't dare, Caomin just discusses the matter as it stands, and dare not hint at anything."

Zhou Ziqing said that he is a grassroots person, always reminding everyone that he is just an ordinary person who has done so many things for Zhoucheng, but now he is suspected, coupled with the chilling and sad look on his face, it has attracted many people to resonate , shouting loudly outside the hall that the Zhou family is innocent!
However, there are also some people, especially those who know Sun Da and Sun Er, their expressions are a little bit bad. They both know these two brothers, they are usually very honest, and they are a little timid. Don't dare to speak loudly.Today they looked angry, and what they said was reasonable. Could it be that there is really some misunderstanding?
Although they thought it was unusual, they still didn't suspect the Zhou family. After all, a family has been doing good things by your side and helping you all the time. Even if there are rumors that are not good for this family, the first feeling is that someone has framed them.

Zhou Ziqing's performance was so perfect that Baili Junyi felt that there was nowhere to start. The Zhou family's business was too successful. They successfully portrayed themselves as the spokesperson of kindness. Whoever dared to touch him would stand on the opposite side of kindness.

Shen Ninghua suddenly said: "All the people involved in this matter should come to be questioned. Is that Zhou Qing, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, also coming to be interrogated?"

It was Zhou Qing who had always been involved in the matter of Sun Da and Sun Ertian's affairs, and he might be able to find some breakthroughs from him.

After all, it was too far-fetched to convict Zhou Ziqing based on what the two of them said.

As soon as Shen Ninghua opened her mouth, Baili Jinchuan's eyes fell on her, and when she heard her help Baili Junyi to speak, the haze in his eyes became more serious.

At the beginning, I accompanied Shen Ninghua to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and I was the one who treated her well first, but after she cooperated with him, she turned to others. The feeling of being abandoned and betrayed was a thorn in his heart He couldn't bear Shen Ninghua speaking for others, especially for Baili Junyi.

Baili Junyi wants to touch the Zhou family, delusional!

Baili Jinchuan said: "Since Princess Zhaohua has opened her mouth, it is natural to bring the butler of the Zhou family over for questioning, someone..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a shout came from the people gathered at the entrance of the lobby: "I am here, I dare not work. The prince sent someone to interrogate me, and I came here by myself."

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua looked at the door, and the person who came was Zhou Qing, an official of the Zhou family, who was dressed as a servant.

"The servant has met the two princes, the princess of the county, Mr. Zhou, and the head of the family."

Zhou Ziqing raised his eyes to look at Zhou Qing, and the moment he saw his expression clearly, his eyes suddenly settled down: "Zhou Qing, you have been in my Zhou family for decades, and you have been by my side since I was not the head of the family. With your character, you definitely wouldn't do such an outrageous thing..."

Before Zhou Ziqing finished speaking, Zhou Qing suddenly knelt down in front of Zhou Ziqing, crying loudly: "The slave is guilty, and the slave deserves death."

"You... What are you doing? You are guilty. Did you really do something outrageous?"

"The slave was only fascinated by ghosts for a while, and was bewitched by the demon monk, so he did such a foolish thing behind the back of the Patriarch."

Sun Da and Sun Er stared at Zhou Qing angrily, and when they heard him confess, they said excitedly, "Are you admitting that you framed us many times?"

Zhou Qing turned to look at the two of them: "Yes, I admit it!"

Baili Junyi's eyes changed, Zhou Qing is going to come out to take the blame this week!

Shen Ninghua and him looked at each other, and sighed slightly in her heart, that Zhou Ziqing might be acquitted today.

Zhou Ziqing was stunned: "What did you say? You admit it?"

Zhou Qing respectfully kowtowed: "Yes, Patriarch, it's the slave who was confused for a while and caused you to suffer. The Zhou family is kind to the slave, and the slave can't let the Patriarch continue to be implicated because of the slave."

"You mean, what Sun Da and Sun Er said is true?"

Zhou Qing nodded with difficulty: "Yes, it's all done by the servants!"

Zhou Ziqing raised his hand abruptly, and slapped him on the face: "You...you did such a thing, you..."

His face turned pale from anger, his fingers trembled and he was speechless.

Many people are full of sympathy:
"Patriarch Zhou, don't be angry."

"It's all the fault of that evil slave, it has nothing to do with you."

"Yeah, Patriarch Zhou, don't be angry, what should you do if your body is broken?"

Hearing the comfort from the people outside, Zhou Ziqing's face turned paler, and he turned around and kowtowed respectfully to the people: "Zhou is incompetent, and he even connived at home slaves to harm the people. He is really speechless in front of you folks, Zhou is willing Take out half of the family property and distribute it to Sun Da and Sun Er brothers to make up for the mistakes made by the servants of the Zhou family."

"Patriarch Zhou is too benevolent..."

"Yeah, this matter has nothing to do with you, just punish Zhou Qing alone, how can Patriarch Zhou suffer?"
