Chapter 103
Zhou family compound, bedroom.

Zhou Gui and his wife discussed in the inner room.

The atmosphere was a little dignified.

Zhou Gui took out the documents obtained from the confiscated home, checked them one by one, and looked through them repeatedly.

Ning also picked up a copy casually, and after only reading a few lines, she exclaimed.

"How could it be someone from Yu Qingdao?"

This correspondence reveals startling facts.

Zhou Gui replied without looking up.

"As far as our family's wealth is concerned, is it worth Yu Qingdao's conspiracy?"

"Then Xing Deyi just has something to do with Yu Qingdao, maybe some outer disciple."

Ning calmed down a bit and continued to browse.

"The ones on my side are all gift lists of greetings, and I can't see anything for the time being. Ma'am, did you find anything?"

"I don't have anything here. I just seem to be ordered. I'm looking for something. I don't know if it's a person or a thing. I don't know what to say."

"Huh? He still has tasks? Show me?"

Zhou Gui took a letter, shook it open, and carefully considered every word.

The words used between the lines are very cautious, and the specific points are all references, and Zhou Gui can't see anything.

"What exactly is Yu Qingdao looking for?"

Suddenly thought of something, Zhou Gui turned to his wife and said.

"It must be that we have missed some key points, and that Xing Deyi, we can't keep it!"

As Zhou Gui spoke, he carried a trace of murderous intent.

"At first, I thought it was just cheating and embezzling money, but I didn't expect this to be involved. This Xing Deyi will die no matter what! Moreover, this matter must be done quickly!"

"Although I don't know what Yu Qingdao is planning, but I can't go too deep into it for now, lest I know too much and be easily detected by Taoism!"

"I just got a Taoist book from the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea. If I succeed in cultivating Taoism, I will have to deal with Yuqing Dao in the future."

Yuqing Dao opened the gates widely, and almost became the state religion, with hundreds of thousands of disciples, all over the world.It can be described as colossal.In the entire Great Xia, Yuqing Dao is intertwined and has complicated relationships, almost occupying half of the world.

Little ants like the Zhou family can't afford to provoke Yu Qingdao; no matter what the other party wants to do, it is not appropriate to continue to pursue it.

Knowing the depth of the water, Zhou Gui didn't want to step into the quagmire, so he resolutely gave up the investigation.

"Go and tell Zhou Cheng, Zhou Fu, and Zhou Yu to go to the yamen to take care of it, take my name card, and close the case as soon as possible! Remember, the sentence will be harsher!"

When Ning went out, she called for her maid, Cui'er.

"Go and call Zhou Cheng, Zhou Fu, and Zhou Yu over here, the master has something important to say."

Cui'er trotted to call for someone. In the Zhou family compound, the nursery, servants, and maidservants lived in separate places. Cuizi ran straight to where the servants were, and then went to the nursery, running back and forth a few times. , brought all the words, and then went to Ning's to return the order.

"Ma'am, I have brought all the words. It's just that Zhou Yu went out to do errands today. He said that the errands ordered by the master last month are not at home now."

Running all the way, Tweety's forehead was slightly sweaty.

When Ning saw her, she responded and waved her to rest.

After a while, both Zhou Cheng and Zhou Fu came.

"lady!"

The two of them belonged to domestic slaves, and they were relatively useful people. They were usually responsible for handling some chores at home.

"Have you heard about Xing Deyi?"

The two naturally heard it and nodded.

"The master said, our Zhou family can't afford to feed the servants like this. You two, take this bag, pay 20 taels to the account room, and go back and manage the yamen, close the case as soon as possible, and give him a good time. Remember it, tomorrow In the morning, I want to hear the news that he committed suicide in fear of crime!"

When the two of them heard this, they both felt chills, thinking that this was the master's beating on the servant.

"Yes, Ma'am, don't worry! I'm familiar with this matter. The old man in charge of the prison in the yamen has also had a drink with my brothers. I promise to handle it properly for you! It doesn't take 20 taels, five taels is enough. !"

Zhou Fu said with a smile.

"That's right, there are rules for doing this in the yamen, so it really doesn't take that much."

Zhou Cheng also agreed.

Like this kind of secret affairs in the back house, the yamen is proficient in business, and they can do it when they are given money. Even after a long time, a set of unspoken rules has naturally formed.This kind of drama that makes people "suicide in fear of crime" is another remark slave, and the price is very cheap, as long as five taels is enough.

"Just take 20 taels, this matter, the conviction must be fast! Everyone has stolen money, what else can't be settled? It will be settled by tonight at the latest!"

"promise!"

The two took the order to go, withdrew 20 taels of silver from the cashier, and rode to the county seat.

The matter itself is not complicated, if people get stolen goods, they can be convicted on the spot, but the difficult thing is actually to kill people tonight and make them "suicide in fear of crime". The time is a bit rushed.If you don’t hurry up, you won’t be able to get back in time. After nightfall, the county town also has a curfew... It’s never a good idea to walk around at night!
There were not many horses in the Zhou family's stable, only a dozen or so, and they were all ordinary horses. The two of them hurried forward and finally arrived at the county seat in time.

Get off the horse, lead it on foot, and you can't gallop on horseback when you arrive in the county town.

The two of them had known their way for a long time. After turning seven or eight roads and walking a few small paths, they found a remote house in the city.

After fastening the horse, Zhou Fu stayed and watched, Zhou Cheng stepped forward to knock on the door, and there were three long and two short, which was regarded as a secret signal, which meant that business was coming.

After knocking repeatedly for a while, someone answered.

"Who? It's noon, don't eat!"

A shirtless man opened the door impatiently.

When I saw Zhou Fu, an acquaintance, let me open the door.

After Zhou Fu entered, he closed it casually.

"Old Li, you are in charge of the punishment. I won't say anything else. This is 15 taels. I will die tonight!"

"Whether you want to pick it up or not, give me an accurate word, my brother is in a hurry to go back!"

The man called Old Li was confused, but he still took the white silver taels and nodded, the weight was not bad.

"What's the matter? Didn't your Zhou family just send a criminal here this morning? This man has all the stolen goods, what else can we say?"

"Supposedly this is not the case. He should at least be sentenced to exile for three hundred miles. Is there any inside story?"

Old Li asked with a smile.

In the early morning, a group of people came from the Zhou family over there, and turned this person over, why don't you remember?There are sieves everywhere in the yamen, and this kind of thing will be talked about in the future, and it will be talked about in the streets and alleys for half a year.

Zhou Fu waved his hand.

"Hey, you don't know. Then Xing Deyi looked like a dog, and he actually ate inside and outside. It was found out in the morning that he had embezzled a large amount of money, and it was later discovered that he was still colluding with outsiders! No, our family The master is furious, and must let him commit suicide tonight!"

Old Li was also used to wind and rain, so he was not surprised at all, but was secretly speechless.

"Success, it's not difficult! 15 taels is more than enough! This man got the stolen goods, and he is still a slave to his master, and he will be exiled for at least six hundred miles. If you manage well, the case can be closed tonight. You wait for the news Bar!"

"Old Li, you have to be careful, our master has ordered him not to see the sun tomorrow!"

"Don't worry! He will be overly worried and hang himself tonight! Master Zhou has always been generous, and I, Old Li, can't be vague either!"

"That's it, my brother and I will go back first!"
