Although the governor of Xiazhou was not named Zhou, he was half of the Zhou family. His wife was from the Zhou family, and she had some connections with Jun Ci. She was the daughter of Zhou Ye, the former master of the Zhou family, who was killed by Jun Ci.
There is a Helian family in Tongwan City, which is not far from Beizhen. Naturally, Zhou Rong will not randomly appoint someone to supervise the officials.
The son-in-law of the Zhou family was surnamed Zhu. He was not born in a noble family. He just fell in love with the daughter of the Zhou family. He was ruthless and decisive, so he won the favor of Zhou Rong, and he became the governor of Yizhou in the age of 40.
The person who came was dressed in the official uniform of a governor, held his head high, walked steadily, had a goatee, was of medium build, and had sharp eyebrows, which gave him a certain charm.
The three of them were of the same rank. With the humility of being a guest, Governor Zhu took the initiative to salute Helian Yue: "General Helian."
"Zhu Shijun." He Lianyue's attitude was lukewarm.
It seemed that he had been accustomed to it for a long time, and Governor Zhu was not angry. Instead, he turned to look at Jun Ci, pretending not to know: "General Helian has a visitor? I have never seen such a young and upright young man in the past. I wonder which of the descendants of General Helian is?"
"
"Zhu Shijun, this is Lieutenant Jun, who is ordered by the imperial court to escort Lingzhou's food and wages." He Lianyue opened his eyes and lied, "I had a relationship with the general in the past, and Lieutenant Jun passed by this place.
I came here to pay my respects."
"Why is Lieutenant Jun here!" Governor Zhu looked shocked, and even his voice was slightly raised slightly, which seemed a bit awkward.
Jun Ci was very cooperative. He glanced at He Lianyue in confusion and said in surprise: "May I ask the envoy, why am I not here?"
"Captain Jun doesn't know anything. Yesterday I received news from Qinling Village. They threatened to rob the captain and his food and salary, and asked me to let them leave Qinling Village, otherwise it would be detrimental to the captain." Zhu Governor Surong said,
"Yesterday, I sent someone to seek help from General Helian in an attempt to attack Qinling Village and rescue the captain. However, the incident happened suddenly. General Helian needs to verify it and cannot rush to send troops..."
After he euphemistically provoked the two of them, hinting to Jun Ci that He Lianyue was unwilling to save her, Governor Zhu continued: "Unexpectedly, the captain was killed, so I sent people to sneak attack Qinling Village overnight. I sent more than a thousand people, but at this time there was no one.
Return."
Blinking, Jun Ci watched Zhu Cishi confusing right and wrong, but even though Jun Ci was right, he could not call the people from Qinling Village to confront him. Jun Ci showed an incredulous look: "Qinling Village? I and the people in the army
, was indeed ambushed, but was not captured. He just retreated from the official road and took a long detour to escape the bandits.
Is it because Qinling Village is famous far and wide, or is it for other reasons? Why did Governor Zhu believe the news that we were captured when he heard that I was ambushed with more than 200 people?"
Obviously, Governor Zhu came well prepared. He answered calmly: "I also sent people to look for the captain, but they couldn't find any trace. Moreover, the county magistrate came to report that someone under the captain was knocking on the city gate late at night.
Please help me, I mistakenly believed that the captain fell into the hands of thieves."
"When I was attacked, I did send people to ask for help. The number of robbers was quite large, and the food and salary could not be taken lightly, so I sent people." Jun Ci also admitted generously. After all, the people were still in their hands. "No one can wait for a long time."
, so we had no choice but to evacuate. I thought the person had been killed before he reached the city, but luckily nothing happened."
"So that's the case. It's no wonder that the captain didn't go to the county government office to look for the person, but instead visited the general's residence first." Governor Zhu sighed meaningfully.
"There is another reason why I came to the general's residence first." Jun Ci also showed an unpredictable smile, with deep phoenix eyes, looking at Zhu Ci, "I fought with the ambush people, and I captured a seriously injured person alive. The other party kept saying
He said he was protected by the government, so I could be wiser and let him go earlier."
"Captain..."
"Zhu Shijun, don't be anxious." Jun Ci interrupted him, "I wouldn't believe such ridiculous words, so I killed the person right away. It's just that there were many people under my command who were talking nonsense, and no one who heard this was around at the time.
A small number of people, fearing that they would go to the county government first and cause unnecessary disputes, first came to visit General Helian and inquire about the bandits entrenched here and how many conflicts they had with the government, so they would sow discord."
Jun Ci had to say everything, so Zhu Jishi could only grit his teeth and smile.
"Envoy, envoy!" At this moment, someone shouted outside.
Not long after, a government official from the governor's office rushed in and said in panic to Governor Zhu: "Your Majesty, the chief history officer is back. He said that Sima and more than a thousand people were all buried in Qinling Village."
"What!" Governor Zhu's expression changed drastically. This time he was not pretending.
Even though he knew Jun Ci was here and had some suspicions, the result still made him so angry that his hands trembled slightly.
The marching Sima under him is also considered a first-class capable man. He once made great achievements in Zhou Rong's army. If he had not returned to his hometown to take care of Ye Niang, he would have a bright future in the capital.
He apparently sent more than a thousand people, but in fact he also sent two rangers with extraordinary martial arts skills. Hearing the message from his subordinates, they all died.
Suddenly, Governor Zhu looked at Jun Ci.
Absolutely no one in Qinling Village has the ability to kill these two rangers. If Qinling Village really wants to defect, these people can burn Qinling Village to the ground. Now these people are dead...
With Zhu Governor's mind, how could he not guess the reason? Jun Ci teamed up with Qinling Village to trap and kill more than a thousand of his people!
It was his fault to report it to the court!
"The bandits in Qinling Village are really amazing." Jun Ci marveled again and again, "Zhu Shijun, go take a look and capture the bandits as soon as possible."
Zhu Cishi restrained his anger and took a deep breath: "I will ask the captain for advice another day!"
After leaving these words, Governor Zhu strode away with his sleeves rolled up.
He Lianyue and others walked far away, and then he made a gesture to lead Jun Ci inside: "Captain Jun, what are your plans in your heart?"
It’s no wonder that Governor Zhu’s face was so ugly. Even He Lianyue never thought that Jun Ci would be so ruthless and directly kill more than a thousand people in the Governor’s Mansion. Based on his understanding of Governor Zhu, Governor Zhu is a man who is very careful in his actions.
These losses are not just apparent.
In this way, Governor Zhu knew very well who killed the man, and he was afraid that he would not let Jun Ci go so easily.
He Lianyue looked at the girl in front of him who was walking calmly and her clothes were blowing in the wind. He didn't believe that she didn't know the depth of things.
"I'll replace the general with a governor. How about the general do something for me?" Jun Ci said with a smile.
"The governor is appointed by the imperial court. No matter who is appointed by the imperial court, I will do my best to assist him." He Lianyue did not answer Jun Ci's words.
It is true that Governor Zhu was difficult to deal with. Tong Wancheng had restricted him in every way during these years, but the almost monster-like girl in front of him made He Lianyue feel even more terrifying.
He was quite comfortable with Zhu Ci and Shixu, but the presence of Jun Ci made him unwilling to get involved with him.
The smile on his face slowly faded, and Jun Ci said: "General Helian, many people saw me passing the government yesterday."
