Chapter 1458: Xuanyuan Sword
In fact, it was exactly as Ling Feng expected. When Zhou Yulang knew that so many county magistrates had died, although his face was gloomy and terrifying, he quickly calmed down and determined to kill. Since the matter had become a big deal, he
The tail of the hand must be completely wiped out, and the remaining Yuxi County magistrate must also die!
"Steward, please send an order to the second master to kill all the people recorded alive in the account books!"
Zhou Yulang said coldly. He not only wants to kill the living county magistrate, but also wants to silence all the people on the account book! At this point, he must do something absolutely. Other than that, there is no other way to survive.
.
"yes!"
The housekeeper responded, but his heart trembled, and he quickly retreated. Because he was also an insider, and he was worried that Zhou Yulang would silence him too?
…
At this time, there are six doors.
After hearing the information reported by Zheng Dongliu, Song Tianhao's expression also changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yulang would never be so unwise. Someone must be framing this behind the scenes! This person's plan is extraordinary, and Zhou Yulang was forced into a desperate situation as soon as he took action!"
Although Zhou Yulang was not responsible for the murder, the crimes recorded in the account books cannot be false, so it is difficult for him to escape suspicion. The most important thing is that four county magistrates died at once, which must have caused an uproar in the court. This incident is simply
The cover-up can no longer continue, which means that Zhou Yulang is likely to be thoroughly investigated and imprisoned.
Zheng Dongliu said: "Sir, how should we deal with it?"
"Secretly track down the mastermind behind the scenes and wait and see what happens!"
Song Tianhao was silent for a moment and said. Because it would be troublesome to really find out Zhou Yulang's crime. He is a veteran refining master and holds a magic weapon. This kind of figure is a mainstay no matter which sect he is in. If he is forced
I have no choice but to go to Netherworld Palace. Netherworld Palace will probably accept it happily, but it will be a loss to the court.
Besides, Qinghe County has just been settled. If there is another major incident like the county guard's rebellion, wouldn't it show the incompetence of Liumen? Then Long Yan will be furious. He doesn't know how many people will be implicated, and he may also be thrown into jail.
.But he couldn't help Zhou Yulang cover up the crime, so he could only eliminate the source behind the scenes.
"Yes, sir!"
Zheng Dongliu immediately took the order and left.
…
At this time, in the Lieutenant's Mansion, Wu Yuanxin's mouth twitched slightly after hearing the report from his confidants.
Can't Qinghe County be a little more stable? He has just taken this position, so naturally he will not make enemies rashly, so he just kept the account books last time without any intention of reporting them. This time the trouble was too big, and he also
I'm worried that something big will happen and I will be implicated in the end.
Therefore, he was silent for a moment and said: "Send someone to investigate and find out the people behind the scenes hiding in the county."
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Yang cupped his fists and left quickly.
…
At the inn, Gao Hong was just about to take a rest when he received a message from the Five Dragon Guards. His face suddenly sank and he quickly sent someone to report the matter to the emperor.
He couldn't bear the death of so many imperial officials.
…
A quarter of an hour later, a child delivered a letter to the county magistrate's house.
In the back office, Zhou Yulang opened the letter and after just a few glances, his fists were clenched tightly, his face was ashen, the temperature around him rose sharply, and a terrible anger was about to burst out.
The old housekeeper next to him was so frightened that he remained silent and did not dare to speak.
It wasn't until nearly a quarter of an hour later that Zhou Yulang's breathing calmed down.
The old housekeeper cautiously said, "Sir, are you okay?"
Zhou Yulang handed him the letter without speaking.
The old butler was never willing to read it, because the more secrets he knew, the greater the possibility of being silenced. But now Zhou Yulang asked him to read it, but he had to read it. He opened it and saw that there was only one paragraph
Words: I gave you six copies of the account book, except for you, Lin Feng, Song Tianhao, Wu Yuanxin, Yu Shenxiu, and the imperial envoy each got one copy!
His expression changed drastically and he said: "Sir, they have account books in their hands, but they don't say a word. Are they secretly investigating you?"
Zhou Yulang is obviously worried about this. With the account books, if he finds a few more survivors and all the personal and material evidence is available, it will be difficult for him to be exonerated. But Lin Feng, Song Tianhao, Wu Yuanxin, and Yu Shenxiu will not be able to escape the crime as easily as the others.
Silence. Therefore, he must fight back. He must do it completely. If everyone who knows his secret is dead, then the account book will not be able to make waves.
Therefore, he looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Afu, how many years have you been with me?"
The old butler's name is Zhao Quanfu. Ah Fu was his name when he was young. At that time, he was just an ordinary servant. It was because of Zhou Yulang's appreciation that he was promoted to butler. This name has not been heard for many years. At this time, I heard
But there is a touch of kindness.
But the old housekeeper suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart and replied: "It has been almost thirty years!"
Zhou Yulang said with a serious expression: "Ah Fu, how have I treated you these years?"
The old housekeeper felt desolate and said in a trembling tone: "The kindness is as heavy as a mountain!"
Zhou Yulang took out a black pill from the mustard bag and handed it over, saying, "Ah Fu, you still have a son. After you die, I will treat him as my son!"
Butler Zhao was holding the black pill, his hands were shaking, but he didn't dare to resist. He knew too many secrets and would definitely die. If he took this pill, he could still let his son live. So, he took it silently
After taking the elixir, the poison spread quickly, and he bleed from his seven orifices and died.
Not only was Butler Zhao dead, but many of his confidants who knew Zhou Yulang's secrets were also quietly silenced by him.
The second master, Zhou Bin, also led the masters of the Zhou family to attack on all fronts. He did a great job, and these people did not leave behind any account books or other things. In just one hour, dozens of massacres occurred, and houses were burned down.
.Among them is the Yuxi County Magistrate, as well as several previous county magistrates who died.
And many valuable things in Zhou Yulang's house have also disappeared. Even if someone turns the county governor's house and the Zhou family's mansion upside down, they won't be able to find much silver. Many servants and guards have also changed from light to dark, and the number of maids and servants has also been reduced a lot.
.The head of the three major aristocratic families in Qinghe County turned into a desolate mansion in an instant.
…
At this time, the sky was dim in the main hall of the Qingjiao Gang.
Ling Feng was practicing his sword in the yard when Xiao Wenliang came to report: "Deputy gang leader, something big has happened!"
Ling Feng slowly sheathed his sword and said calmly: "Speak!"
Xiao Wenliang clasped his fists and said: "The Yuxi County Magistrate was killed. Not only that, there were dozens of mass murders in Qinghe County, including the widows and family members of several county magistrates who died before. People outside said that Zhou Yulang did the murder.
After being silenced and spreading the news, people are panicking, and many businesses are preparing to move out."
Ling Feng sighed quietly and said: "I didn't expect Zhou Yulang to have such courage and do things so brilliantly!"
Xiao Wenliang looked puzzled and said: "Zhou Yulang acted like this. Even a blind person can see that he did it. If the imperial court sends someone to investigate thoroughly, he will still be dead!"
"Wrong! How can Zhou Yulang be an ignorant person if he can be a county guard? If he does this, there is a high chance that he will be fine!"
Ling Feng shook his head and said. So what if everyone talks about it? All the relevant people were silenced by Zhou Yulang, and even their houses were burned down, so don't expect any evidence to be left. As long as Zhou Yulang refuses to admit it, there is no evidence at all, and the court alone can't
It is impossible to beat him into a move. Because Zhou Yulang is not a weak scholar. He can send an imperial envoy to do whatever he wants.
