Chapter 1103: Does koi bring blessing or disaster (55)
Seeing Zhou Rujin trotting in, Zhou Chuanyou shook his head and said with a smile, "Jin'er, why are you running like this again? Be careful your grandmother sees you and says you are reckless. Why are you running in such a hurry? Ginseng can't run."
"
"Grandpa." Zhou Rujin saw that Zhou Chuanyou's expression was normal, and he didn't look like something had happened. He was half relieved, "I'm not here to see ginseng. The flower sister just jumped over the wall and went to the backyard, and asked me
I came to the inner courtyard to be with my grandfather, and asked my grandfather to find more servants to come and protect the inner courtyard."
Zhou Chuanyou's face darkened upon hearing this, and he called his entourage, "Zhou Guan, come find Zhou Song."
Then he told Zhou Rujin, "Jin'er, go find your grandmother. You stay in the house and don't come out yet."
There is even a darkroom in the bedroom of the main house, where someone could hide in it in case of emergency.
Zhou Chuanyou didn't completely believe what Zhou Rujin told Lady Hua, but just in case, and this "in case" was probably because Lady Hua was a skilled person.
Although he had a very good impression of Lady Hua, what if he misjudged her.
"What about you, grandfather?" Zhou Rujin frowned worriedly.
"Don't worry, Jin'er. This is Zhoujia Town, the ancestral land of our Zhou family. Xiaoxiao doesn't dare to make trouble. I asked you to stay in the house with your grandmother because I don't want your grandmother to be disturbed."
Some carts were loaded with firewood, while others were loaded with green fodder for the horses. There were more than a dozen people coming in with the carts, and they looked like they were all local mountain folk dressed up.
…
Zi Hua saw the weapons these people were holding and immediately decided to intervene.
The main point is that among the dozen or so people, all of them are violent, and some are very violent. They are not good people. Moreover, the swords and arrows these people carry are from the same brand as the bandits' swords and arrows.
place.
After entering the yard, these people winked at each other and gathered towards the carriage with weapons.
Zhou Rujin responded and walked quickly to the main house with the maid.
The two fathers and sons were officials in the same dynasty, so it was impossible for both of them to hold high positions. Zhou Chuanyou, who was in the third grade, chose to become an official so that his son's official position could be promoted.
Zhou Chuanyou was shocked and broke into a cold sweat at first.
When Zi Hua arrived, these dozen people had already started copying the guy.
The person who shot the thief was a young lady in Tsing Yi. She stood on a carriage carrying firewood and shot at the thief with her bow.
Seeing that the young lady in green had attracted the attention of all the thieves, Zhou Liang, who had saved his life, crawled on the ground and ran out.
"Master, master, it's not good, a thief has come in..."
Deep lines formed between Zhou Chuanyou's brows. For a young lady with a lot of skills, she seemed to have another thief. What a coincidence.
As soon as the knife was revealed, a servant of the Zhou family noticed it. Seeing that something was wrong, he panicked and shouted, "What are you going to do! There is a thief coming... ah!"
She said there was a thief in the backyard and asked me to come over and protect the inner courtyard. I didn’t dare to be arbitrary, so I came over quickly to report it to the master.”
The bandits were disguised as former King Huai's people. Although these people were not part of the bandits, they were not ordinary enemies who came for revenge with the weapons secretly made by the former King Huai who carried out the rebellion.
What Zihua saw was different. These dozen people were all armed.
After hearing what Zhou Rujin said, Zhou Chuanyou only believed it with suspicion. It was normal to be skeptical, but he believed it because he couldn't think of a reason why Lady Hua lied to them. When Zhou Song said it again, he would rather believe it. He asked Zhou Song, "
Have you sent someone to check?"
In Chen Daya's past life memory, Zhou Ji was a staunch royalist and deeply trusted by the emperor. The Lu family of Dingyuan Marquis failed to win him over, but Zhou Ji copied several books, which made the Lu family disgraced in the main hall.
His head was gray and his face was so gray that the Lu family hated him so much.
I also saw that the groom at home was familiar with the other party and stepped forward to greet him, but the others did not pay much attention.
As the first accurate news came from Zhou Liangbao, news came to Zhou Chuanyou one after another.
Zhou Chuanyou did not become an official because he was old and frail, but to give his son room to rise in officialdom.
Zhou Liang quickly opened his eyes and saw a thief lying backward in front of him. The thief died from an arrow that penetrated from his back to his chest.
Seeing the sword getting closer and closer to the door in front of him, the more he wanted to escape, the more he couldn't move. He thought that Zhou Liang was going to die here, so he closed his eyes and waited for the sword to fall on his head.
Zhou Chuanyou saw a dozen servants standing outside the courtyard and ordered, "Zhou Guan, take these people to guard the outside of the courtyard. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will, including people in the mansion..."
She intervened this time, firstly because her Zhou family, from Zhou Chuanyou to Zhou Rujin, all liked her. In addition, if the Zhou family were killed, Hua Qiuniang's order would be gone.
At this time, the backyard was quite noisy. Six or seven fully loaded carriages entered the courtyard, blocking the back door tightly.
But he felt that a long time had passed, and before the knife fell on him, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
The short blades in the waist and arms can be explained as self-defense, but the large knives and bows and arrows hidden in the firewood and green fodder cannot be explained.
The Zhou family's servants and nurses only glanced at these people and carriages. Firewood and feed were consumed a lot, and from time to time, nearby villagers would bring firewood to their door.
While Zhou Chuanyou was making arrangements, Zihua had already arrived in the backyard.
Since we are not here to seek revenge, we are here to cause trouble.
Not long after Zhou Guan left the courtyard, there was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard. Housekeeper Zhou Song hurriedly entered the courtyard and reported back to Zhou Chuanyou, "Master, Miss Hua did not leave, she went to the backyard.
For the time being, it seems that Lady Hua is a friend rather than an enemy, so this is not the time to pursue these matters.
Zhou Chuanyou's son was named Zhou Ji. After Zhou Chuanyou became an official, he was promoted to the third rank of imperial censor.
As soon as he shouted, a gleaming sword slashed towards his face. The whistling sound caused by the swing of the sword filled his ears. He wanted to hide, but his legs couldn't control him, and he couldn't take a step.
Can move.
Yuhua generally does not meddle in other people's business and does not know the cause and effect. Maybe an enemy comes to seek revenge. It is better for the two parties to resolve their grievances on their own.
Sir, Miss Hua has great skills, she can walk and jump on the wall as if she were walking on flat ground."
"Back to the master, I have sent some servants to the backyard, asking them to report anything in time. Just in case, I brought some servants here to follow the master's arrangements.
The servants are responsible for the safety of the family, and there are no guards with advanced martial arts skills. The servants can deal with ordinary thieves, but against a group of strong men with sophisticated weapons, they can only be one-sided.
was massacred.
He didn't dare to think about what would happen to him, his wife, his grandson, and his daughter, all young and old, if the servants couldn't stop the strongman.
As the news continued to come, Zhou Chuanyou gradually became convinced, because all the thieves were eliminated by Hua Xiaoniang, and a few were left alive.
